Throne Steps

After several years of fermentation, the chaos in the North finally got out of control.The nomadic tribes invaded the border towns, and the refugees were displaced and flooded into the major cities in the Northland.However, the first thing for a considerable number of faction officials in big cities after reinstatement is not to revive the local area. It is worse.Especially in areas that have suffered huge floods before, they are basically devastated.

For a while, there were worries and foreign aggressions, and people were panicked.

Finally, under such circumstances, the Manmin petition was sent to the gate of the palace by the refugee representatives.The petition was written in black and white, sonorous and forceful, full of tears, and densely covered with bloody handprints.The refugees raised their knees high and knelt in front of the palace gate. The witnesses were all shocked.

The royal family was furious, and transferred the petition of all people to the third son of Pure White, Saenz, and entrusted him to come forward again to suppress the riots and revive the Northland.

Even if the royal family's "wrath" was just a superficial effort to go downstairs, and even the birth and submission of the Ten Thousand Peoples Petition was secretly contributed by Saenz, but when Saenz saw with his own eyes the people with hundreds of bloody handprints When Bai Bu made his wish, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

All the people present were his cronies, and everyone stood there solemnly, their hearts were moved, but heavy.

In the final analysis, it was they who handed over the power of the Northland and let the Northland run its own course, which indirectly caused today's situation.Even though they knew from the beginning that this could not be a bright road with laughter and laughter, but when they reached their goal, human emotions made it impossible for them to break free from this shackle.

But these layers of blood imprints are just the beginning.

The chaos in the Northland is even worse than before, and if they go to the Northland again, there will be more sacrifices.

And after the Northland, there is...

dong dong!

The knock on the door interrupted everyone's contemplation, as if pulling everyone out of the suffocating atmosphere.Saenz put the petition on the table, called in, and the housekeeper came in.

Generally speaking, housekeepers who have no urgent matters will not come in to disturb at this time, so Saenz asked directly: "What's the matter?"

"Mrs. Qiao He and Mrs. Li Chen's injury inspection reports are back, and Black Swan also sent a document book and a letter, please take a look." The housekeeper said, and sent four things to Saenz on the table in front of you.The petition was still on the table, and when it was placed together with the injury reports of Tanya and Li Chen, Saenz just glanced at it... Everyone felt that the temperature in the room had dropped a few degrees.

The three things that irritated Saenz the most were in front of him side by side. If he didn't smash anything, it would be considered as good self-cultivation inherited from his ancestors. It is impossible to see it.

However, the injury report alone would not allow the butler to break in at this time.He turned over the first page of the report sent by Black Swan, and then pushed the letter in front of Saenz: "Master Li Chen hopes that you will read it yourself."

"He... wrote it by himself? His hand..." Saenz picked up the letter for a moment, ignored the information booklet, and went straight to read Lichen's injury report.However, the injury report confirmed the advance news that Saenz had heard before, but it was not good news.

Saenz opened the letter again. There were only two sentences in the letter, which could be read at a glance.But Saenz maintained his posture of reading the letter, standing there, not sure if his eyes were still focused on the paper.

When he was silent, the housekeeper knew that he didn't need to answer any more, so he just left.

For a moment, other cronies wanted to follow suit and exit this terrible environment.

"...The economic analysis report and recovery plan of Northland are here."

After a while, Saenz finally recovered his voice, and pushed the butler's one-page report to the opposite side, "Take it and study it, other things will start to execute as planned."

A confidant stepped forward to accept the report: "Yes."

"All do their own thing."

"Yes."

The cronies left as if pardoned, and closed the door behind them.

Saenz slowly sat down on the chair, as if he lost his strength.He covered his face with the letter paper, closed his eyes, and gradually touched his heart with his palm, as if he was still feeling the lingering fear of that day.

"fraud……"

Li Chen personally wrote a letter, only two lines.

The first sentence is: The Northland financial system has been redesigned and can be restarted at any time.

The second sentence is: I'm fine, don't worry.

However, Saenz knew he wasn't fine.

Because Saenz personally felt the fluctuation of the contract, the power at that moment was the warning that the contractor was severely injured; because the people who went to support at that time sent back the news the next day that Iron Rose was severely injured, and the Black Swan team In order to support Iron Qiangwei, the situation was also very serious; because now Saenz got the injury report, which stated Li Chen's injury in black and white. injury.

—— Li Chen's source of magic power has been greatly damaged, and the damage is likely to be irreversible.

The reason is the overload of the magic power source in a very short period of time, and the massive consumption of magic power.To put it simply, Li Chen forcibly performed magic that he was unable to do.

It was precisely because of this terrible loss that Li Chen, who had always been unwilling to disturb Saenz, failed to protect his magic power source for a while.In fact, the more appropriate way at that time was to directly use the spell to invoke the power of the magic crystal. However, due to the tense situation, it was good to move even a second faster, so Li Chen subconsciously chose to activate it directly.

The result was that he didn't even protect the source of magic power, and the turbulence of the source of magic power directly alarmed Saenz who was in a deep contract.

Saenz knew what happened to him immediately, but he couldn't see what happened to him with his own eyes, so he could only wait for the news at the same place.This feeling is like the oil in the pot is boiling, but you can't go there to put out the fire, and you can't walk away. You can only let the scorching oil splash on your hands and body, and the scorching heat and pain are instantly piercing.

Li Chen's letter may have been intended to extinguish the fire in the pot, but it had the opposite effect.

Because although the letter was written by him himself, it was not written by his usual hand.

The information and injury reports of the advance troops showed that Li Chen's right hand was severely traumatized, not only by magic, but also shot through the bones.Although you should be able to recover largely with careful treatment, you may not be as flexible as you were before the injury, and your ability to lift heavy objects may even be reduced.

Under such circumstances, it is of course impossible for Li Chen to write the letter with his right hand, but he wrote it out, and at first glance it is still his handwriting.However, he can deceive others, but he cannot deceive Saenz.

This is written by the left hand.

Li Chen can actually write with both hands—after all, he used to pretend to be left-handed for a long time in his previous life—but few people in this world know about this, and Saenz is one of them.Saenz could even see that the force of his writing had weakened, and there was still a faint trembling in it.Li Chen's left hand usually doesn't shake, and he can't control it in this kind of letter to report his safety, which shows that his current situation is not enough to support his left hand to write a few words.

His situation is reflected in the injury report, but he still has to think about the Northland affairs, and even continue to pay attention to Amoya's control of the Northland economy.

"How can you not worry..."

Saenz clenched the letter tightly, and let it go the next moment.

He forced himself to read Li Chen's injury report carefully, as if masochistic, being stabbed by each injury, he continued to read the next line.The more he looked, the more he wanted to see this person himself, but he could only stay here.

There are more and more sacrifices. At this point, he is not allowed to let go suddenly.What's more, the purpose of Li Chen and Lie Huomei's desperate efforts this time is to not drag Saenz down.

Raging Rose even tried to hide her injury from her own son.

It stabbed Saenz's two vitals at once, and even touched the reverse scale, Saenz absolutely couldn't swallow this breath.

Want to stop me from going to the Northland?

Saenz put the letter in his storage ring, put the Wanmin petition in front of him, looked at it steadily, and suddenly squinted his eyes.

—Wait for me.

Li Chen was seriously injured, and he was not even suitable for long-distance transfer, so he could only recuperate in the central resident.

Then, Akye, Fudexi, Menzel and even Xialuo all ran over.

Xia Luo's gloomy temper has never been better since the accident at Pesa. Seeing Li Chen's tragic appearance, he still has nothing to say softly.

"Are you trying to kill yourself? Can't you even run?" Xia Luo was going crazy. When they fell into the wolf den, Li Chen was able to escape unscathed, but why did he bring so many bodyguards with him? But was tossed like this by other killer groups, "Have half of them out, are you going to commit suicide?!"

Li Chen always treated him coldly: "Don't yell... Although I am insensitive to trauma, I still can't stand the headache."

"He was stabbed by a poisonous short arrow, and now the poison is still there, so you stop and stop." Menzel sat next to him, "Talk about anything as soon as possible."

Fudexi glanced at him inexplicably, then patted his former club's younger brother away, walked to the bedside and said, "Liz... passed away."

Li Chen closed his eyes.

Liz was one of the sixteen black swans he brought to Iron Rose this time. So far, the number of black swans sacrificed in this journey of death has reached four.

It is said that the number of sacrifices of Iron Rose is even greater.

Li Chen was about to open his mouth to say something, but Fudexi said: "It's good that you can take care of yourself, don't meddle in other business, now that we are here, no one else will come to ask you. Except you and the fire rose The letter from the one who was protected by death, you don’t want to see other things for the time being.”

Listening to the prefix the half-elf gave to Saenz, he was obviously holding fire too.

"Okay." Li Chen was indeed out of spirits. The economic structure plan sent by Amoya earlier made him dizzy and he didn't understand it. "Then I only have one question left - how is the situation of the fire rose?"

Fu Dexi said: "I don't know, the information on her side is tightly locked, but her life is definitely safe."

Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and said, "Okay, then you all kneel down."

Xia Luo still had a lot of cruel words to say, but in the end he was let go, and he... could only leave holding his breath.

When everyone was about to go out, Li Chen suddenly said: "Hey... I will give you a few days to make up your own mind, don't play the black swan to death!"

"Close your eyes!" Fordhi slammed the door shut.
