Throne Steps

Mills lived up to his expectations and showed the expression Li Chen wanted to see.Li Chen pretended to leave Saenz's room, and at the same time despised himself for even thinking about laughing at a child.

He went to the small reception room to study, Noah and Wiggins were there, but only Noah gave him a tacit smile, it seemed that Noah also knew what Mills wanted to do.The smile was actually very small, and Wiggins didn't notice it, but Li Chen still defined it as an "overly obvious signal", and just glanced at the other party calmly, and sat down directly.

Nie Wen's result didn't really matter to him. From the very beginning, what he thought about was Saenz's decentralization of power to him.He couldn't wait for everyone to grow up before going to Saenz to share power.Some people were born into a noble family, so the starting line was placed ahead; as a commoner, he had to sneak away.

However, the "decentralization" here does not refer to the power to "form forces", but the power to "allow cheap actions".For the former, just use Mills to test it out; for the latter, it will bring Lichen the greatest benefit in the future.

This is a subtle process. It doesn't matter whether Saenz is aware of it or not. What matters is the result.Obviously, the result of the former is clearer at the moment - when Mills' individual tutoring ended, he and Nie Wen came down happily.These two simple creatures still couldn't hide their thoughts, and the pride of success was all over their faces.Noah, who took over Mills' tutoring, gave them meaningful glances as he passed them upstairs, without them noticing.

Li Chen even gave them a nickname - "Different Heart Group".

"Hey!" Mills sat down at the table and pointed to Nie Wen who was following behind, "He's going to class with us!"

If you want to go to class, you have to take an exam first. The exam is held once every school year.In other words, even if Nie Wen's natural talent is sure to hit, it will be at least half a year later.In summary, Li Chen will not comment on Mills' statement.

But Wiggins, as the only one who was completely kept in the dark, immediately blew up: "What?!"

Mills also seemed to realize that the previous statement was not correct. He patted the empty stool beside him and asked Nie Wen to sit down, and explained: "Your Highness said, let him study with us first, and when the admissions exam starts next year, Just let him take the test."

Li Chen asked calmly: "We haven't been here for many days, can we pass the exam after just a few days of tutoring?"

Wiggins is blessed by God, Mills and Noah are typical hardworking, and Li Chen is the golden finger accumulated in the first few years.There are indications that Pesa is definitely not able to get in a few days before the exam.

Wiggins finally caught up with his thinking: "Yeah, Pesa's threshold has to be climbed hard. I have been studying for so many years, but I haven't passed it."

Wiggins had also taken the exam back then, but was eliminated miserably. Now, using himself as an example is a blatant blow to Nie Wen.

Mills replied: "It's not just these few days. Nie Wen can temporarily use the servant's quota to enter Pesa with us, and review there for half a year, and he can also know what we are learning, and it will be effective."

This tone, as if everything was arranged by him.

"Oh." Li Chen sneered in his heart, and replied, "But it costs a lot of money."

Mills replied: "His Royal Highness said that he can finance the money for the six months."

Wiggins interjected, "Tuition fees, accommodation fees, living expenses, what should I say?"

Mills and Nie Wen, two typical hypocrites, always feel that money is very vulgar, so they didn't think about the relevant issues carefully. They just said: "You can sign a contract with the army like Ruisen, and then go to work to earn living expenses by yourself."

Easier said than done, especially in the beginning.Li Chen's success in working in the pharmacy is entirely due to his previous studies with necromancers.As a student with little foundation, it is very difficult to get a job before taking classes.Of course, if Nie Wen is willing to do some physical work that doesn't require any basic knowledge, or find a garden to grow flowers, that's another matter.

Mills was obviously aware of this, and added: "You can also be like me... If Nie Wen is also a student recommended by His Highness, Meloyer's sponsorship is also okay?"

Everything is "Your Highness", "Your Highness", "Your Highness", taking people's things is a matter of course, it depends on how you end up in the future.Li Chen smiled, and asked casually, "Really? Whose servant is that?"

"Uh..." Mills hesitated, "It hasn't been decided yet, it should be among us."

Li Chen sneered inwardly, but a step was thrown out of his mouth: "Okay, then is he going to enter the magic department or the alchemy department?"

Mills didn't answer this time, but turned to look at Nie Wen: "What do you think?"

Nie Wen has a talent for magic, but he is not as good as Noah, and he is only a little better than Mills.In addition, Pesa's most difficult exam is the magic department, so Nie Wen's answer is not surprising: "Alchemy department."

"It's better to follow Ruisen and Mills, and it's better in the alchemy department." Wiggins actually answered, "Noah's magic department and I are not suitable."

Li Chen couldn't tell whether it was Wiggins' sudden inspiration or an unintentional work, but he still answered: "I can't. The army contract, the servant is a breach of contract."

"Oh..." Wiggins nodded, "There is a high probability that he is Mills' servant."

Mills didn't answer, but Li Chen was not surprised to see Nie Wen's face change.

The "Different Heart Group" was alienated as soon as it was established. Li Chen originally wanted to find time to do this, but Wiggins made the move at the right time.

Wiggins didn't finish it: "That's good, I heard that Mills has a good grade in the alchemy department, so let me guide you nearby."

Mills didn't know which tendon was cramped, but he retorted coolly: "It's nothing compared to the members of the furnace."

"That's why it's just right." Wiggins really hooked up with him, "Your Highness is busy every day, and Noah and I can't help you. Ruisen is going to the furnace, and only you can help."

These words are very harsh, and the literal translation is "Aren't you the only one who has nothing to do?"

Mills bit his lip and said nothing.Everyone was silent for a while, just when Li Chen thought the topic was over, Nie Wen suddenly said, "I will work hard."

try hard?Li Chen was happy.It is too naive for a person who has no foundation in alchemy to rely on non-professional personnel to teach him to pass the exam within half a year!

"It's not that I want to pour cold water..." Wiggins also said, "What if, I mean, if you fail the exam after half a year, what are you going to do?"

Wiggins' words are not pleasant, but they are indeed the truth.In addition, he and Nie Wen have been at odds since he came, so it is understandable to ask this question.Nie Wen must have thought about this issue. Although his expression was not very good, he replied: "Just... come back and continue to be a gardener for Your Highness."

He thought it was too much to stay in Pesa to continue studying, and he would be considered sensible when he returned to the Saenz mansion; but he didn't expect that once he left the Saenz mansion, there would inevitably be a new gardener to take his place, and there would be no need for him at that time. he comes back?

Wiggins is obviously on the same level of logic as Nie Wen. He was waiting for the other party to say "continue to review and continue the exam" to make a combo, but now when the words "if you fail the exam, go back", he also died down.The only person present who understands is the one who sent Nie Wen to test Pesa, and he will not come out to continue to attack—what if he shrinks the unlucky boy again?

It is a minor matter for Nie Wen not to leave the mansion, but a major matter for Saenth not to trust Li Chen's ability.

Saenz is not always at home, but the little ones will not be stopped wherever they want to go, and the vacation is so fleeting.In the last more than 20 days, Belen Meloyer did not come, and Lichen did not receive any news from Yanying.If there is any change, it is that three days before returning to school, the new gardener of Saenz's mansion arrived.

Although Saenz paid Nie Wen's father a peace of mind to recover from his illness, everyone knew that this was the signal that Nie Wen and his son were leaving the mansion, and Nie Wen was even more sullen in the last few days.Even though the little gardener seemed to realize something, everything would be settled before he could figure it out.

Back to school after vacation.Saenz wanted to visit a few eternal colors, and set off first; the remaining four plus one set off later, and still arrived at the school ahead of schedule.

Li Chen is different from the others, he has to go around to report when he returns to school.First the pharmacy, then the furnace, and then the military supervision and management office.In the first half of the semester, he saved a fortune by "extorting" Yan Ying, and he didn't spend any money during the whole vacation. He was no longer eager to rush into the pharmacy, and only stayed in the laboratory of the furnace for several days when it was still empty. I don't know what to tinker with.Wiggins couldn't find him, and it was rare not to be annoyed. He suddenly got close to Noah and got together to study magic.Mills took Nie Wen with him, and at first he was busy going through the formalities of changing the dormitory, and then he was busy preparing review materials for Nie Wen, and he didn't like to communicate with the others.

In a blink of an eye, school starts again.

There were no new students in the second half of the semester, but the opening ceremony was still lively.The words used to encourage freshmen before were used to motivate students in grades five and six.Aideren stood on the podium with a gentle but confident smile, and his voice was a little deliberately modified calm.

"Why are we standing here? Why are we able to stand here?" There was a deliberate pause between his sentences, and the emphasis could be heard when he listened carefully, "Do you still remember why you wanted to come to Pesa? Remember the dream about graduating from Pesa?"

Parallel sentence patterns, a common rhetorical method of emotional progression.Like the other children, Li Chen put on a slightly yearning expression, but his mind was distracted.In the second half of the semester, there are practical activities for grades [-] and [-], a graduation assessment for grade [-] at the end of the semester, and performances by outstanding graduates from all famous schools in the mainland.What Ai Deren is doing now is something like cheering up.Although a little bland, he has the dignity of an aristocrat, and now he is acting alone, so he doesn't need to be as impassioned as a marketing teacher to provoke a lively interaction.

But what nobles are best at is the attitude of being superior to others.

"My dear seniors and sisters, the graduation performance is just the starting line of the road of dreams, please laugh and step on it—" Aideren's smile gradually deepened, and the wind element in the air gradually became active with his words , Blowing everyone's skirts.

"When Pesa's hymn sounds, a new light will rise on the continent of Raetia."

The graduation performance of outstanding students is called "Praise Song".

The fifth and sixth grade practice is called "Dawn".

As a sixth grader, Aideren couldn't be more appropriate to say this sentence: "We are—'Dawn'!"
