Throne Steps

As Li Chen expected, the news of the accident at the Suguang meeting exploded in Pesa not long after, and then swept across the entire Retia.

Almost all Pesa teachers in the fifth and sixth grades were sent to Samir, and the other remaining teachers also appeared to be in a hurry.Li Chen communicated with a few warrior students who were doing morning exercises together, and realized that two of the three deans had gone, and a vice-principal also went to the front line to sit in charge.

Although Pesa's students are very important, Li Chen still thinks it's a bit exaggerated.It wasn't until Locke told him about the mercenary association's hanging out that he realized that the problem seemed a little serious.

A student is missing!

After Shuguang's team rushed out of Samuel, they immediately counted the number of people. It is said that more than 50 people were missing at that time.In such an emergency situation, some teachers in the Suguang team immediately formed a rescue team to enter Samir again, and some teachers led the students to evacuate to nearby towns and notified the school.A few days later, the Mercenary Association posted a reward mission to find Pesa's missing students. At this time, the number of missing students had dropped to less than 30.

"You want to see people when you are born, but you want to see corpses when you die..." Li Chen muttered in a low voice, then raised his head, "Did the Mercenary Association put any new marks on Samuel?"

"Mark" is the mark of each typical mission location by the Mercenary Association, which may increase the star rating of the mission at that location to a certain extent.

"No. Only a notice was issued, reminding that the flowering period of 'Song of the Siren' has arrived." Locke replied, "The number of target people has also decreased a lot."

"It's just the little ghosts who were frightened and wandered away for a while." Fudexi sneered at the side, "The little poor worms who trembled when they were scared by the monsters, could they have any ideas from those guys?"

His words were harsh and mean, and it was clear that he was laughing at Pesa's students, but Li Chen nodded: "Indeed, Suguang puts safety first, and the students may just be scattered or lost, and it is normal for them to continue practicing. The number of missing persons There is still a lot of room for decline.”

The "those guys" that Furdhi said were the lone wolves.As long as you don't run into them, everything is easy to say.

Locke stood up, packed up the tableware that Furdhi had just used, and brought it into the kitchen.Fudexi's life is safe now, but the source of magic power has been destroyed and his muscles and bones have been severely injured, so he still needs a considerable period of recuperation.Since Lichen only agrees to use as much medicine as he wants, Fudexi's Pesa holiday should still be a while away.

Locke went into the kitchen, leaving Locke and Fordhi in the living room.The friendship between these two people has developed to the point where they will quarrel as soon as they open their mouths. When they are not in the mood to quarrel, silence is the only choice.

But sitting face to face like this is a bit embarrassing.

Fudexi's face was not as thick as Li Chen's, and he couldn't move back to the bedroom without shaking his face, so after a while, he still said: "Why, are you still worried about your senior sister?"

Li Chen replied casually: "Compared to caring about me, you should care about yourself."

"I knew I was anxious when I was looking for news, but now I'm pretending to be deep like an adult?" Fudexi laughed, "As I said, do you have any use for those people, and you don't need to worry so much."

His words sounded awkwardly concerned, but the sarcasm in his tone was really obvious.Li Chen has been with him for so many days, and he has already been transferred from "noble and glamorous" to "tsundere and awkward".

"Why?" Li Chen also laughed, "You are so proud that you can't take care of yourself because of their beating?"

Fudexi was choked again: "You..."

"With you like this, what's the use of going back to Yanying?" Li Chen spread his hands, "Hey, don't you think it would be nice to jump to my place?"

Fudexi knew that Li Chen couldn't afford to support him, and there was no need to support him, but he still asked subconsciously, "Why are you there?"

Li Chen laughed: "Arguing to pass the time."

Fordhi rolled his eyes and fell silent.

When Locke returned to the living room, Li Chen's smile was still shining brightly on his face.So the big mercenary asked: "What is so happy?"

Fordhi glanced at him.

Li Chen said: "I can't take care of myself, I am very happy."

Locke thought that this was another riddle, and it was his good habit to let things go with the wind if he didn't understand, so he changed the subject: "By the way, Ruisen, Calga sent a message about what you talked about before the holiday , you can offer me conditions."

Fudexi showed a puzzled expression, but did not interrupt.

Li Chen couldn't tell whether it was about the three transformation potions, or the alliance, or even a combination of both.He looked at Locke: "I will give you a condition, can you make a decision?"

Locke was calm: "No. But..."

Li Chen waved his hand: "You can't make a decision, so find someone who can make a decision and talk to me."

Yan Ying, a big fish, finally wants to bite the bait... No, he wants to cooperate. Li Chen decided to talk to Saenz as soon as possible.

Asking Locke to find someone who can make a decision is actually Li Chen himself who is delaying time, and he himself has not had much decision-making power until now.Expectation, anticipation, bottom line, as long as Saenz answers these questions, it means that Lichen has a real decision-making power in the matter of "aligning with Yanying", and it also means that Saenz has further delegated power to Lichen.

This may sound a little too fast, but the alliance with Rock Eagle is not something that can be negotiated overnight, so it would be best if everything becomes a step-by-step process.

Li Chen originally thought that Saenz would come back soon, but he did not expect that His Highness did not appear in the first batch of teams returning to Pesa.

Not only Saenz and Lailier, but even their home team and vice team didn't come back.Li Chen didn't care about the two Sarnlich's predictions of overthrowing him.The Samuel incident was dangerous and abrupt, but from another perspective, it was a good opportunity to establish an image.

At the critical moment, whether to retain their strength or come forward, they all made their own choices.

"That's not it!" Sean came back first.She is an alchemist who has not graduated, and staying there is of no use except to add chaos.Li Chen didn't wait for Saenz, so he ran to her to ask her what happened first.

"Your brain is too complicated. What's the use of thinking so much at such a young age?" Sean said, "Let's be honest, Lailier's deputy team was hit hard, and she couldn't leave even if she wanted to."

Li Chen was taken aback: "Which one?"

Sean smiled slyly: "Guess?"

Seeing her like this, Li Chen didn't understand: "Ai Deren!"

Once something happens to Aideren, Fujalal's personnel layout will be greatly affected, so it is completely understandable for Lairier to sit on the scene.

Saenz, on the other hand, is probably playing two banners - one is that Adren is considered a member of Meloyer's tribe, and it is better for Beren to stay; Come down and help.

There are two Saenlichs to help, and Pesa is considered a blessing in misfortune.

Of course, the premise is that the two Highnesses themselves are intact.

Pesa's people came back wave after wave, and the information they brought back became more and more detailed.It is said that Saenz's team also encountered a monster infected by the "Song of the Siren", but they jointly killed it under the command of Saenz.After realizing that something was wrong, Saenz led the team directly out of Samir, handed over the corpse of the monster, and led people into the forest again for rescue.On the other side, after being attacked, Lairier's deputy team moved closer to the main team and brought out Samuel.As a girl, it is inconvenient for Lairier to go to the "front line", but she is proficient in healing magic and has many saintesses at hand, so she has become Dawn's powerful rear support in one fell swoop.

The performance of these two Saenlichs is not outstanding and not tacit.

However, with the participation of Pesa's teachers and mercenaries, the role of these students has gradually diminished.The growing withdrawal of the two figures close to Sarnlich also marks the gradual subsiding of the commotion.

Finally, the news of the arrival of the two Sarnlichs came back.

It would be too plain to say that the information was sent back.Different from the previous years where the lower grade students just went to see the excitement, this year's Pesa was full of people on both sides of the main road, and organized a solid welcome battle!

Before the students came back, all they got was comfort.But the two Saenlichs are different. Their heroic and responsible performance is a well-deserved pure white color.The students who were already fanatically adoring the color of pure white wanted to crawl down and kiss Saenlich's toes one by one.

"The gongs and drums are blaring, and the firecrackers are blasting..."

As "foreigners who don't participate in cults" and "freaks who don't want to join in the fun", Li Chen and Xiao En hid in the furnace far away, occasionally imagining a little bit about the welcome scene.This kind of scene is theoretically "nothing to go, nothing to go to", but in view of the large number of people at the scene, Li Chen really felt that there was no need to stand still.Anyway, he had secretly sent a letter to Saenz's apartment to apply for a visit, and it would be more convenient for him to do so.

As for Sean, she was used to being arrogant, and even Saenz didn't bother to talk to him.

Later, when he returned to the dormitory, Li Chen's "professional gossip" roommates immediately restored the welcome scene and related information to him.Li Chen listened to it and summed up a few gossip points.

First, the complexions of the two Highnesses are not very good, probably because they are tired, but they are in good spirits; second, the members of the team are injured, but overall the problem is not serious; third, Aideren is completely missing!

Well, compared to a fifth grade student who was seriously injured and died and an accompanying teacher who was seriously injured and was cured, disappearance is not necessarily the most serious consequence.But under the premise of "seeing the dead if you want to live", I am afraid that Aideren's portrait and name will hang on the mercenary task wall forever.

Li Chen thought more deeply.He had expected that Aideren would affect the composition of Fujalal's staff, but he didn't come back after going out like this. It seemed that the ENDING was drawn too abruptly.Even though Li Chen got the wind from Yan Ying, the matter of Ai Deren still gave him a sense of disobedience that came to an abrupt end.

For Li Chen, injury or death is easier to understand than disappearance.

He got used to conspiracy theories, and even began to wonder if Fujalal knew that there would be such a thing, so he took the opportunity to arrange for Aideren to leave Pesa to complete other things.

Is there anything that Ai Deren must do secretly?

Li Chen turned his head and suddenly had an idea.

——The Lone Wolf...

He hadn't figured out the relationship here, but Saenz secretly wrote back to him, agreeing to visit him.

In view of hearing that His Royal Highness never saw any visitors during his recuperation, Li Chen thought about it with the reply, and then encouraged Wiggins to vote for the invitation.Although Wiggins was apprehensive about disturbing Saenz, but with the mood of giving it a try, he openly voted for the invitation.Of course, I also received a public reply from Saenz very soon—quasi.

Look, if you can manage your own affairs well and help your superiors raise the red flag, why not do it?
