Throne Steps

For the reason of "there is a priority in learning, and there is a specialization in art", the Yanying mercenary group was tricked by Li Chen.

It is true that Yan Ying dared to directly ask Li Chen to make the "transformation potion" because they themselves possessed rare pharmaceutical books, and Kajia also clearly knew that there was a formula for the "transformation potion".But this rare book, what's abnormal is that it is a transliterated version!To put it bluntly, this opening is all non-common transliteration written in a common language.Just imagine if there is a book, it is full of "my cat pinches my cat pinch (good morning)" "washing socks, smelly (shewas, youwere)", who can understand this?

Kajia doesn't understand, neither does Lichen, but he can't help it.Li Chen really made a fuss, and if he made such a carbine, only Xia Luo, a nobleman and commoner, would take it seriously, and no matter how bad Ka Jia was, he would have to be suspicious.Now, coupled with Li Chen's clear statement of "go to Saenz's place to pick me up", the extortion incident will most likely rise to a political alliance incident. Whether the "transformation potion" is perfect or not is uncertain.

No matter how complicated and meticulous Li Chen's mind is now, physically speaking, he is too young and has no background.If you think about it, it is basically impossible to pry the mountain of Rock Eagle. You can only try to eat away at the whale step by step.

After another month or so, the final exam was passed without any risk.Li Chen was about to run to Saenz to discuss whether it would be better to divide the front and rear feet, and then saw his roommate, who was full of gossip, scored another point under Wiggins' name.

"Let's go home with His Highness Saenz!" The roommate wrote a note.

This flagpole stands...it's really attractive and eye-catching!Li Chen did know that Wiggins and Saenz were partly on the way, but he didn't expect these two people to make such a high profile-oh, of course this is definitely not something Wiggins can toss about-Saenz shouldn't be in such a hurry ?

"What do you know? Your Highness's true love must be Beren Meloyer!"

Li Chen was almost choked by his roommate's words, but it wasn't over yet.

"The existence of Wiggins Estor must be His Royal Highness Saenz in order to protect Belen, oh—" the roommate suddenly became dramatic, "This is so epic..."

Li Chen interrupted him: "Your Highness has a marriage contract with Beren Meloyer?"

The roommate replied: "His Highness Saenz has no fiancée."

Li Chen nodded, just now he almost thought that men are prevalent in this world because he didn't know it, but now it seems that he just overreacted.That's right, whoever arrests so-and-so gays like Xinlik's perverts! (…)

Marriage... Li Chen smiled slightly in his heart, this is a good leverage!

But this and the lever pried him enough, that's what happened later.

No more gossip, and when it was time to start, Li Chen silently climbed into the auxiliary car of the Saenz team under the light of Savi and the two of them.Li Chen doesn’t know much about Wiggins’ life along the way, but every time we eat together or place an order, one or two sentences can basically sum up Wiggins’ current mentality—in fact, he is close to the little fans The God who I love to death is almost the same.

Li Chen guessed a little mockingly, even if Saenz asked Wiggins to lie down naked now, it would be able to get his wish, right?

Anyway, what Wiggins and Saenz said and did when they were alone, Li Chen would never take the initiative to care.He squatted in the luggage cart, and occasionally teased Saenz's guards—to be honest, a long-distance trip without girls is too dangerous—but since these guards seemed to be very close to Saenz, it was difficult Come up with useful information.

After a few days of leisure, the parting came.In other words, Wiggins is a teammate like a pig, and when he was about to leave, he suggested that Li Chen should be transferred to Saenz's car!

Saenz readily agreed.

"I asked you to come here before, you must have been happy, but now you have no reason for me to leave!" Wiggins was proud when he said goodbye, "Don't be afraid. His Highness is a very, very good person, you stay with him It will definitely be very pleasant—oh, His Highness also meant to let you come here before!"

Saenz was standing behind Wiggins, Li Chen glanced at him, and the other party smiled back consistently.

"I'm leaving, and I'll meet you again in about twenty days. I said, we haven't been apart for so long since we met!" Wiggins chirped, but at least he remembered not shouting loudly, "Don't miss me too much! "

Li Chen said "hmm", thinking silently in his heart that I would have no time to get you when I dealt with Saenz.

Wiggins said another bunch of nonsense parting speeches, and he really had to leave, so he bid farewell to everyone.When Li Chen waved goodbye to him, he couldn't help feeling funny when he heard the guards standing next to him let out a sigh of relief.

"You have a good relationship."

Look, just as the man's back disappeared, Saenz rushed to fight. Li Chen felt like "living up to everyone's expectations".

The young boy bowed his head and respectfully said: "Your Highness, I appreciate it."

"'Excuse me'?" Saenz let out a soft "huh" and turned around to get on the carriage without saying a word.For a while, Li Chen was still not sure what His Royal Highness wanted to do, so he had to follow the principle of "soldiers come to cover the water and soil", and got into the carriage.

Speechless all the way.

——Well, this is just the best result Li Chen can think of.In fact, His Highness opened his mouth not long after: "The conditions you give are generally acceptable, but the details need to be discussed in detail."

Li Chen still doesn't know how many aides Saenz has behind him, nor does he know whether he has discussed his conditions with others.But theoretically speaking, if Saenz consulted with someone, then this "someone" would have to find an opportunity to kill Li Chen in the future; The dust has not settled.

Thinking of this, Li Chen also straightened his back facing Saenz: "You order."

Saenz frowned: "How did you learn such a strange look?"

Li Chen spoke nonsense without any pressure: "It's because of our culture."

"I'll listen to the original text."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows, and opened his mouth to say a Beijing movie: "'Speak up if you have something to do'!"

Saenz stared at Li Chen, showing a meaningful smile.

Li Chen is not afraid.He uses this trick himself. Once he encounters something he doesn't understand, he should pretend to be inscrutable first. If he is lucky, he can even tell the truth.

But Saenz still has the following text: "'Yousha'...'Lin' what'ah'?"

"Cough..." Li Chen had no choice but to reply, "Let's go back to the text."

Saenz glanced at him, with a look of "sure enough", but he really returned to the topic: "Only the nine-star guard of the Saenlich family is eligible to enter the top of the temple with the Patriarch."

Does it mean that I have to reach the nine-star standard myself first... Li Chen asked: "Nine-star... what level do you mean?"

"Personal mercenary level."

Li Chen had heard about the division of individual mercenary ranks.In general, as many star-rated tasks as you do, you can add as many stars to your level; however, the maximum limit is nine stars, and tasks that are two levels lower than your own star-level cannot increase the corresponding level.For example, if a five-star mercenary completes a four-star mission, then he becomes a nine-star mercenary with five plus four; but if the five-star mercenary completes the first, second, and third-level missions, his The star rating will not change in any way.As the level rises, the difficulty of the task increases exponentially, so the simpler way to reach the nine-star level is "one one three four" or "one two two four".

"But even if you reach nine stars, you may not be able to become Saenlich's personal guard, right?" Li Chen realized the clue after a second thought, "Obviously you still have the right to veto me."

Saenz did not refute, but only replied: "According to the agreement between the Mercenary Association and Saenlich, if the 'Golden Nine Stars' is willing to participate in the selection, Saenlich cannot say 'no' unless he can propose a reasonable and important reason."

"Golden Nine Stars" is an assessment for new nine-star mercenaries every year. It is the result of further comparison on the basis of nine stars, similar to the goal difference in football leagues.If the star rating is used as the first-level comparison rule, then the second-level comparison rule is "the task with the highest level among the tasks counted in the star", the third level is "the number of tasks that reach nine stars", and the fourth level is "the number of tasks that reach nine stars age". There are only three places for "Golden Nine Stars" each year, and the evaluation starts with "Nine Stars" and "Tasks with at least six stars or above among the tasks included in the star rating".The selection criteria are so high that vacancies become commonplace. Since the "Human Concorde", there are less than a hundred mercenaries on the list.

Li Chen naturally knew how much he weighed, and when Saenz mentioned "Nine Gold Stars" to him, he didn't say anything.

"...It's so unfair to me." Li Chen sighed, and quietly put "getting the priority to be selected as a personal guard" into the schedule.

Things like "fairness" are a joke to Saenlich, so Saenz laughed it off unceremoniously.

"In addition, determine your 'weakness' as soon as possible." Saenz's tone was stating, but he didn't smile, and a subtle sense of oppression came over his face, "Since you're already an adult, you don't need to be taught many things. right?"

Li Chen's expression was slightly inquiring: "Now?"

Saenz asked back: "Otherwise?"

Li Chen thought about it, Wiggins, Noah, and Mills, who are the same age, all have their own families, so the "weakness" naturally falls there.But I am an orphan, so I probably have to think about it carefully.

"May I ask." Li Chen suddenly popped out an index finger, "Your Highness, your 'weakness' is..."

Saenz still asked a rhetorical question, but showed a meaningful smile: "What do you think?"

Either Belen or Wiggins.The so-called "weakness" is just a trick to relax the enemy's nerves, and it has the same meaning as the "flagpole" of Wiggins.But since "weakness" is supposed to be the part of a person that -- at least on the surface -- cares most about, it is, in some cases, the most ambiguous definition of "weakness."

Li Chen saw that Saenz looked like he had nothing to do with him, thought for a while, and then laughed.

"Oh—I choose you."

Then Li Chen got his wish and saw Saenz's astonishment. Although the range was small and the speed was comparable to stunned, he was still caught by Li Chen.

Facing the words that seemed to be teasing, Saenz's smile became more obvious: "It's really surprising..."

Li Chen then laughed and said, "Just kidding."

To put it bluntly, Li Chen was molesting public opinion, but this time Saenz was unexpectedly not dazed, and replied directly: "I agree."

Li Chen was at a loss: "What did you say? I didn't hear it."

"I said, I agree." Saenz showed a triumphant smile, and his gentle but firm tone bewitched people's hearts, "My troubles are your pain, my happiness is your happiness, and my wish is your goal. You'll be alone all your life without me—"

This is probably a sentence in a work, similar to "the king worries about the minister's labor, the king humiliates the minister and dies", but it sounds too imaginative... Li Chen also smiled when he heard his verse-like words , just raised his eyebrows, and didn't see a trace of confusion.

Saenz didn't stop talking.

"Take me as your first consideration, traveler from afar."
