Throne Steps

"What? Change course?!"

Li Chen didn't expect that after he told the whole story about meeting the former leader of Lone Wolf, he would get Saenz to make such a decision, which was completely different from what he thought before, okay?

"I don't agree!" Li Chen straightened his back and even leaned forward to Saenz, strongly expressing his opposition, "Do you know how many days we are behind him now? It can be up to six days, six days! If you take a detour again, what kind of dragon are you looking for, he has already finished his work, and the day lily is cold!"

"Then do you know how many mercenary regiments and troops are gathering and rushing here?" Saenz also stared at him, "People from Fugeral, people from the royal family, and Vagcheno and others People from more forces may gather here! Their targets are not only dragons, but necromancers, as well as you and me!"

Li Chen retorted: "The necromancers are in front of us, and we are in front of them, we can..."

"No, you didn't understand." Saenz interrupted him, "They didn't just come to duel in a grand manner, or in other words, they didn't come to play fair competition. There are definite news that the alliance has some players who are good at killing missions The mercenary group is coming, before they arrive, do you know where the people from Fujalal who are closest to here are? It is in the small town we passed by three days ago!"

Li Chen held back his anger: "Then they are still three days away from us!"

"Once you are caught up and held back by any organization, do you understand the consequences?!" Saenz also sternly slammed his knuckles on the table, "Have you forgotten what happened to Lailier? You Have you forgotten your suffering when Iron Rose was attacked? Run your magic source yourself!"

Of course Li Chen knew that the dark cloud of danger was approaching quickly, but he felt that as long as he was quicker, faster, he would definitely be able to...

"You promised me..." Li Chen stood up suddenly, pressed the edge of the table and approached Saenz, the anger in his eyes almost turned into substance, "You promised, this trip is up to me...!"

"I promised." Saenz looked at him without giving in, "but you know, it must be done without endangering safety."

"I said it! I don't agree!" Li Chen couldn't help but raise his tone, "I will never take a detour!"

"I'm afraid you can't help it." Saenz replied, "If you still want to go, you have to follow the newly planned route, otherwise we won't talk about it!"

Li Chen stared at him sullenly for a few seconds, then punched him violently!

"...!"

There was a muffled punch to the flesh, and Saenz actually stayed where he was, receiving the punch firmly.

Although Li Chen is not as good as a fighter in physical skills, he is a man, a mercenary, and a black swan who does morning exercises every day.When he punched, Saenz was instantly turned his head, and his cheeks swelled up quickly.

"...cough, cough!"

Li Chen didn't expect to hit him with all his strength, and seemed to be stunned.Saenz coughed twice, and slowly turned his head to look at him, but his eyes didn't look like he was about to fight back, but instead seemed to be waiting for Li Chen's next punch.

Li Chen thought of something, narrowed his eyes, and took a step back.

"I won't apologize."

He said coldly and fiercely: "You are powerful, you'd better lock me up with an iron chain."

After that, he turned around and left, slamming the door and leaving.

Saenz looked in the direction of the door, remained silent for a few seconds, and then leaned back on the chair as if he had exhausted all his strength.He wiped his face and let out a long, soft sigh.

After a while, he said, "Go and follow him, don't let him do stupid things."

There was a "yes" from somewhere, and then it fell silent again.

Li Chen actually knew the severity, no matter how angry he was, it was impossible for him to set off alone now.He was just irritable, as if there was a fire burning under his heart, which was difficult to extinguish.

Originally, I just came to find dragons, and it was just luck to find a necromancer.Unexpectedly, someone witnessed that others were in front, and Li Chen's emotions could not be suppressed at once.

He wanted to ask the Necromancer many things, including the metal ring on his feet, what happened to this body, and how he got here.

He knew that his ideas were very aggressive, but he couldn't accept Saenz's decision for a while.

Seeing that he is about to catch it, maybe he just needs to take another bold step...!

Seeing hope, but staying away, is more uncomfortable than never seeing it!

"It seems that I have caused you a lot of trouble?" The former leader of Lone Wolf panted heavily, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead, but he sneered indifferently, "It's worth it, for the now famous Black Swan Added a little trouble... Hahahaha!"

Snapped!Snapped!

Li Chen flicked the whip in his hand again, mercilessly cutting off the man's hoarse and ugly laugh.The barbs on the whip repeatedly hooked the flesh in the same place, and if there were a few more whips, the bones would probably be visible.

"Ho...ho..." The man didn't know whether he was laughing or moaning in pain, "Even if you kill me, what's the use of it, it's just a waste of time... Ugh!"

Li Chen took another whip, and then replied slowly: "You're right, it's useless to kill you, but, do I still expect you to be of any use?"

He walked to the side, took a scoop of salt water from the bucket on the ground, and threw it on the man.

The burning pain is burning to the bone and heart.

Li Chen threw the wooden spoon back into the bucket, making a slight clicking sound: "I'm just here to vent my anger, purely."

In the evening, Li Chen didn't go back to the hotel for dinner, but picked a tavern on the street and went in.

This small place doesn't even have expensive wine, but the local grain wine tastes good.Li Chen tasted a cup and found it smooth at first, but later found that it had the characteristics of most folk self-made local specialty wines—it had great stamina.

So after a glass of local wine, Li Chen changed to the most common and simplest wheat wine in the league.Coupled with the boss's barbecue skills, it is rare to give people a sense of leisure.

Among the guests in the tavern was a small mobile troupe, or wandering cabaret troupe.One of them, a girl with curly brown hair, was sitting sideways at a table, singing with a bright smile, her raised left foot turning her ankle to the rhythm of the song.

She sang: "Lady of Cambua,

where u from?

Cambuan girl,

Where is your destination tomorrow..."

When the lady proprietress of the tavern approached her table with a large tray full of food, she jumped off the table, put her arms around the lady proprietress who put the food on the table one by one, and continued singing.

"I grew up on the road,

The road under our feet is extremely long.

a Cambuan river,

Runs in my blood-"

After the proprietress put the food away, she sat on a bench next to her, and another man on the bench accompanied her with a tambourine.The male's tambourine skills are extremely proficient, and the girl's singing voice is set off by these light and crisp sounds.

The girl stretched out her hand to another woman on the right, and her wrist twisted out in rhythm with the rhythm.The woman was wearing a veil embroidered with lace, and when she raised her hand, the lines of her graceful arms were faintly visible.

She also kept pace with the singing girl's gestures, and made some simple and beautiful dance moves with her hands.She can control her slender hands lightly, and every movement of her fingertips seems to be expressing some emotion.The gorgeous Koudan streaked across the air, making those hands even whiter.She doesn't have to stand up to let people know that she is a dancer.

The singing didn't stop.

"Where is my homeland?

Everything comes from my imagination.

Cambuan girl,

Do you want to go back to your hometown..."

Because of the effect of alcohol, Li Chen slept very deeply that night, even though his anger had not subsided.

However, when he subconsciously opened his eyes, a strange yet familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him, with curly brown hair that almost flew up with the movement.

"Ruisen!"

"...!"

She shouted with a smile, and threw herself on Lichen's bed with her arms outstretched.Li Chen grabbed subconsciously with his hand that was still under the quilt, and when he was about to swing the dagger at the woman in the next second, the woman suddenly froze in mid-way.

Saenz picked up the clothes from the back of her neck and threw her aside: "I told you to wake him up, not for you to seek death."

Li Chen retracted the dagger in an instant, and the girl didn't know that she had just brushed shoulders with death: "Hey, what is courting death, I just want to wake up my brother!"

"Brother?" Li Chen felt as if he hadn't sobered up yet, so he had hallucinations.He sat up and rubbed his temple, which was still a little sore: "Who can explain to me what happened?"

"Oh... Poor Risen, you must have been put down by the local wine and wheat wine yesterday, right?" The girl stood beside her and leaned forward to look at him. "You can't drink enough, my dear."

As soon as she mentioned yesterday, Li Chen suddenly remembered: "You are...the one who sang in the tavern yesterday!"

"Hmm." The girl answered her with a smile, and then took two steps away to show him behind her, "Of course, there are other members of the troupe—clang!"

So Li Chen saw the dancer he had noticed yesterday, and the man playing the tambourine, and the singing girl introduced him: "This is Aurora, this is Torres, and there are some people who haven't come here... and I, I Her name is Jasmine, and she is your older sister now."

Li Chen frowned: "What?"

"Oh, you don't like this kind of relationship?" Jasmine tilted her head, "Then what do you think of 'fiancee'? I don't mind..."

"I think you should stop." Saenz patted her on the shoulder and motioned her to move away, "Don't you think his expression is getting more and more confused?"

"Thank God, someone finally remembered the question I just asked." Li Chen wiped his face, "I think I look terrible, can you... tell me what happened in a few sentences. Then please You all go out, wait for me to sort out my damn appearance, and confirm the details with you, so that I can understand that I am really not dreaming."

"Okay, the first sentence." Saenz smiled, stretched out three fingers and retracted one by one, "We will join this small troupe and walk together as their guards, the second sentence. No more, The third sentence."
