Throne Steps

The six-day grace of sunshine is coming to an end soon.According to the scheduled itinerary, Saenz's convoy is heading north across the territory.There are few nobles in the north, and the control of the territory is weak, and there are occasional turmoil.Not long after Saenz passed his twenties, his following team showed a faint wind of attack, and even the always gentle Saenlich family challenged a lot.The royal court of the alliance was having a headache for the troubles in the north, so they discussed with the Patriarch Pure White, and then got Saenz's opinions.

This is one of Li Chen's previous opinions.If Saenz wants to stand out from his peers, the first thing he needs is a clear positioning.The entire Saenlich family is famous for its purity and kindness. His Royal Highness Fugeral's branch has obviously occupied this route for many years, as can be seen from the reputation of his younger sister Lailier spread throughout Rhaedia.There are gains and losses in this route, the gain lies in Yi Li, and the loss lies in being covered under the light of the whole family.It is true that being a Saenlich should be kind, but whoever behaves the most kindly will never be the next Patriarch.Otherwise, the current Patriarch Pure White would not be responsible for controlling the riots in the north.

What Saenz followed was a heroic line of decisiveness and resoluteness.He is affectionate and indifferent by nature, and after the incident of "Song of the Siren", he became even more sassy and sassy, ​​so the route he chose was naturally very suitable.Originally, Li Chen had bad intentions and wanted to push him as "evil, charming and crazy", but since this was too far from the line of the Saenlich family, he gave up resentfully.

Saenz, who was picked from the gentle line, has a appearance and strength that can stand the attention of the masses, and his personal charm is gradually rising.Li Chen originally wanted to remind him to turn the "organization worship" into a "personality cult", so that it will be convenient to use talents in the future.Looking at this situation, I feel that I am really worrying.The Saenlich family already has many admirers, and Saenz also created such a cool image, where young people are like mature ears of rice, cutting down one piece at a time.

Those Saenz brought to the north included his own staff, the mages and warriors he followed, and people arranged by various families.However, the main force that governs the Northern Territory is the local sheriff and the management system, and Saenz doesn't have to work hard to cover everything, just focus on checking for gaps and filling in gaps.It took almost half a month for the sunshine to come out.Saenz picked some people to take over the temporary power in the north, so that they can practice and not be afraid of making mistakes.

When the men in the north were exercising smoothly, the intelligence branch responsible for following up on Shuguang—specifically, Li Chen—had finally made significant progress.

Shiro is back in Rock Eagle!

Li Chen's team list, let alone the intelligence team has a copy, and the task board of the mercenary union is also on the task board day after day.As the captain, Xia Luo's movements naturally attracted a lot of attention.Saying that he returned to Yanying actually means that he and Yanying's people have connected up and are on their way to Yanying's base camp.

But the road is not destined to be smooth.Pesa's representatives, the family members of the missing students, and various intelligence agencies have been inquiring for information both openly and secretly.Although some people have more news and some people have less news, in general, the story line is still unified.

According to Xia Luo, they were intercepted and killed by a group of unknown murderers, and they were taken to the depths of Samuel to build a camp for them.One night when the building collapsed, he ran out without knowing the whereabouts of other students.

This argument is clearly untenable.But Xia Luo's tone is very tight this time, and the insignificant details are as true as the truth—it was originally compared to the lone wolf—and when it comes to the key parts, he pretends to be confused and pretends to have amnesia.

Anyway, Xia Luo was not willing to let go of the most important issue of orientation.

Saenz's intelligence team moved forward again and again, and although they got more information each time, there was nothing Saenz wanted to hear.Seeing that Xia Luo had arrived at the base camp under the protection of the rock eagle, Saenz finally couldn't bear it, and personally sent a secret letter to ask.

In fact, Saenz's question is very simple.What happened to that man?

Xia Luo's reply was also very simple - that person was not allowed to speak.

This is the bottom line that Li Chen had agreed with Xia Luo in advance.If Kajia asks, it can be said that Li Chen rescued him; if Saenz asks, just implicitly indicate that he is still alive.

Before "confessing" himself, Li Chen didn't dare to ask his highness to hear the details of this matter from others.Even though Saenz is a cool setting now, he is Saenlich's man after all, he is just and kind, unless he decides it himself, it is really difficult for Li Chen to convey the sins caused by the "running away" process.

Although Saenz didn't get the answer he wanted, Xia Luo's vague words still contained the core news-Li Chen is still alive!

You're still alive but don't know anything about me, are you—

His Highness Saenz, who returned to the northern camp, pinched a small square crystal with two fingers and was lost in thought.He suddenly lowered his silver eyes, the magic power was running, and the light and shadow of the black swan in the square crystal flew past.

Li Chen's movements are difficult to inquire about, but Saenz's movements are known to everyone.

Since the grace of the daylight had just ended, and the first town after leaving Samuel was close to Vermavia—that is, the town where Saenz came to guide—Li Chen could still hear various things about Saenz at the beginning. , Saenlich's glorious good praise.As they traveled northward, the folk customs of the places they went became more and more sturdy. Listening to Saenz's comments on the style already seemed quite wise and courageous.

It seems to be going well.Li Chen silently stroked Saenz's route. Although he knew nothing about the outside world for more than [-] days in the middle, the experience of going to the north made up for this shortcoming.

While he was pondering, Akye opened the door and entered the room.When this man escaped from the lone wolf, his beard and hair were disheveled, his clothes were tattered, and his whole person was the best representative of mess.Li Chen first put him in Samir's water pool and washed him vigorously, then sneaked into the small village and "touched" to clean up the props, and groomed him from head to toe, so that he looked more human.

Although Li Chen was also in a state of distress at the time, he was still an immature boy who hadn't been locked up for a long time, and he could explain it by using "lost in the forest" as an excuse.

The two of them repaired while walking, and by this time they were already normal people.Akye has a clean shaved face, and his head is simple and square, exposing his face with sharp edges and corners; his eyebrows are thick and distinct, and the brow peaks are fully displayed, and a pair of long sharp eyes are not angry and majestic.He was already tall and tall, but when he stood up straight, his posture became even more oppressive.If it hadn't been for the exhaustion of grudges and years of hard work, and the halving of momentum, I am afraid that children will be scared to cry just a few feet away.

But now unless necessary, Akye mostly keeps silent and does not make a statement, trying to minimize the sense of presence.Even when he handed things to Li Chen, he remained silent.

Since the oath of allegiance has already taken effect, Li Chen was not afraid that the things handed over might be fraudulent, so he asked directly: "Is the last thing complete?"

Akye responded.

Li Chen has long been accustomed to this kind of conversation that flicks eight sentences back to one word. He lifted his chin to signal the other party to sit down, and asked while picking up the bag: "Where did you say last time? ... Oh, you were ambushed, continue .”

At this time, the moon is bright, the stars are thin, and the summer insects are chirping. Li Chen's words are very meaningful to ask for a bedtime story.Akye automatically dismissed the teasing in the other party's tone, and sat down to tell the "story" as he wanted.However, since Akye often mentions it simply in one sentence, most of the details still have to be asked by Li Chen.

Akye's "story" is his own experience.

With his vicious vision, Li Chen had long guessed that Akeye had an extraordinary background.Unexpectedly, when Akye confessed in person, Li Chen still opened his eyes.

Akye Clement turned out to be the leader of the Lone Wolf!

Without Akye saying it, Li Chen can make up a series of bloody dramas in his head.What seeks power and usurp the throne, turns enemies against each other, brothers fight against each other, winners and losers are all classic bridges that can happen between this "original" and this "now".

But to sum it up, Akye was originally powerful and powerful in the Lone Wolf, and he was the most popular - even the best - candidate for the leader of the Lone Wolf this year.But just after the last leader had a long talk with him all night and said that he would give him the position of Lone Wolf leader, the old leader died the next day.It's quite miserable, the internal organs burst and died after the fighting energy source was abolished.Although there is no concrete evidence pointing to Akeye, firstly, there are very few Lone Wolf who can really contact the old leader and make such a good move; secondly, Akeye can be regarded as the last person the old leader came into contact with before he died Even though it seems unreasonable to "destroy the bridge before crossing the river", it is unfortunate that no one knows what the old chief and Akye talked about.

Akye has a mouth and can't speak clearly, not to mention that Lone Wolf is not a place where things can be solved with reason.The adopted son of the old chieftain took advantage of the chaos to ambush Akeye and seriously injured him. In addition, he secretly raped several principals and occupied the "throne" with lightning speed to announce his succession. yeah head.Probably out of fear of Akeye's remaining forces, they just destroyed Akeye's fighting energy source and threw it into the mine for mining.

The context of the whole story is quite clear, but some places are very inconsistent.Among them, the most inconceivable thing for Li Chen is that the new leader who has successfully seized power will save Akye's life because of "fear"?

Li Chen has never met the new leader in person - he should have asked Xia Luo more if he knew it earlier - but if it was Li Chen, Akye's life would not be saved, it was definitely a certainty.If conditions permit, it is best to execute him in public, such as killing him at the stage of an ambush attack.Kill chickens and monkeys to prevent future troubles. Even if the forces left by Akeye make a comeback later, they are nothing but soldiers and crab generals without a backbone, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

When it comes to Akye's power, Li Chen is also very strange.Since he was originally famous and powerful in the Lone Wolf, how could he fall because of such a murder without evidence?Akye's explanation was a bit pale, and he only said that a few able-bodied people happened to be sent out on missions, and later heard that their whereabouts were leaked, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Li Chen is not like Saenz, who won allegiance and then discarded "Yan Ling".Akye was suppressed by the power of the word spirit throughout the narration process of the story and in answering questions.He himself can no longer use fighting energy, and he has no desire to resist, so it is impossible to make up what he said.But to say that this is the truth, Li Chen is still obviously skeptical.

To a certain extent, Yanling can be regarded as a "lie detector", but after all, it is more advanced. The standard of lie detection is whether the person under test really believes that something is true.As long as the person under test thinks it's true, Yanling will think it's true, and it's not a lie to tell it.Akye was deceived, brainwashed, lost his memory, and hypnotized, all of which are opportunities to take advantage of the spiritual loopholes.Li Chen had been trained as a lie detector in his previous life, so he knew the inside ways very well.

However, since he couldn't get more information from Akye, Li Chen temporarily had doubts.He rolled over to the inside of the bed, and gave the outside to Akye, ready to sleep.

Before going to bed, Li Chen suddenly asked another question: "How many of your old departments... can you still contact?"

Akye was vague: "I'll only know after trying."
