Throne Steps

Who is Sal?

Not to mention Otar and Kajia, even Lichen didn't know about it.Before the secret letter was sent, Li Chen heard the content of the letter once.Like Otar's reaction, he immediately asked, "Who is Thrall?"

Saenz glanced at him and folded the secret letter into the wooden tube: "What are you worrying about?"

Li Chen choked.It is true that with his current age, even if he can stand at the negotiating scene, it is just a role of serving tea and water, and the master controller must be someone else.But the capable people around Saenz, not to mention all, at least those who know the real role of "Rigsella" between Saenz and Yan Ying, Li Chen can basically name them.Li Chen had never heard of the "Thal" that suddenly appeared now.

Since Saenz had already decided on this matter, Li Chen no longer questioned the personnel.He waited on Saenz to seal the woodwind, and said in a low voice, "So, do you need to arrange for us to meet in advance?"

Perhaps Saenz has already explained the reason and purpose to Thrall, but in order to prevent Thrall from suffering from ignorance when he is on the scene, it would be good to let the real insider contact him first.

Saenz's response was still a light sentence: "No need."

Li Chen was really puzzled now.With this kind of plot trend, why do you feel that you don't need to follow?Although Li Chen has always put himself in the negotiation team silently, but now Saenz's attitude of "it doesn't matter whether you go or not" makes Li Chen feel that his prediction was wrong.

Li Chen thought for a while and decided to confirm: "Your Highness, am I going to this negotiation?"

Saenz glanced at him with a half-smile: "Why are you and I pretending to be stupid?"

I am not wrong, it is you who make me very confused.Li Chen blinked, looking at this posture, could it be that he and that Thrall were split into two groups, each showing their own abilities?

But... a new confidant?

"Your Highness." Li Chen bowed his head and said softly, "All my judgments are based on your direction of progress. If there are mistakes, it is not because I have a different intention, but because you no longer let me see your footsteps. "

Saenz was about to put down his wooden pipe, what kind of drama is this guy playing?

The pure white Third Highness has been tempered by this exaggerated and disgusting way of expression for several years.But for entering the drama so abruptly, the Third Highness didn't know what caused it for a while.

"What happened to you?"

Li Chen sighed quietly: "Your Highness, I can do more for you... Obviously we are so close, aren't we?"

near?Is it the current distance, or... the contract that has been aggravated?Saenz was agitated by this love-like line, and some conjectures flashed in his mind, and his silver eyes narrowed: "Are you complaining that you didn't entrust the negotiation to you?"

"I'm only so young now, and I'm still a child Yan Ying doesn't know, how could I take on this important task?" Li Chen replied, "I'm just jealous."

Saenz: "..."

Li Chen continued: "That person took my seat, but Your Highness didn't even tell me who he is. Although I haven't served you for a long time, I did my best and didn't fear the threat of my life. Now You can't even inquire about anyone..."

"Shut up!" Saenz heard his strange sentence, as if he was complaining that his lover liked the new and hated the old, he stuffed the wooden pipe into Li Chen's hand, and said angrily, "Go send the letter, and then go back and make your preparations!"

Li Chen took the wooden pipe, said "oh", but turned around obediently and went out.Saenz couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and if he was asked to continue talking, maybe some "little padded jacket" would pop out again.

However, when Li Chen walked to the door, he took two steps back very deliberately.Saenz raised his eyes to look at him, with a sense of threat of "if you play again, I'll kill you" in his eyes.

But Li Chen turned a blind eye and asked, "Your Highness, will this discussion involve... the dragon?"

Four years ago, Pesa's Dawn and Rock Eagle were plotted by the lone wolf in Samir almost front and back.Then Aideren disappeared, the archer Fudexi disabled the source of magic power, and Yanying seemed to have something "left" in the lone wolf.Two years ago, Saenz brought back news that the dragon's secret might be buried in the wolf den in Samuel.

If the rock eagle and the lone wolf have made a stumbling block, it is the dragon's secret.Then, in this cooperation of kicking the wolf's den, I am afraid that the two parties have another common goal-"dragon".

Li Chen had already informed Saenz about the rock eagle and the lone wolf, but whether the rock eagle's attack was also related to the dragon, Saenz was not sure for a while.Whether Yanying knows the "secret of the dragon" is one thing. If you want to listen to the word at this time, if Yanying doesn't know at all, it will be difficult.

Saenz just paused for a second before replying, "The content of the discussion... I'm afraid it won't be involved."

That is to say, it will not be mentioned with Rock Eagle, but it is possible to act alone.Li Chen nodded, and walked out of the room holding the tiny wooden tube.The moment he turned around and closed the door, he had a guess about Sal's identity.

It is said that it is necessary to prepare, but in fact Li Chen does not need to do anything special.His current setting is just a 14-year-old kid, and he can't use much strength at the scene. Now he is just soaking in Saenz's alchemy laboratory.If he had to say it, he had some snacks when Akye was looking for the old department.

Obviously the process of being pulled off the horse was very strange, but Akye thought it was the truth.For Li Chen, whose mental work is far greater than physical effort, he really can't agree with this result.Although Akeye's search for the old department is not obvious, it is still very dangerous under the premise that Li Chen suspects that there is a traitor—in case the news that Akeye has escaped is leaked, Saenz and Yanying will be implicated. The plan to tear down the wolf den was bad.

Unlike the lone wolf who spared Akeye's life for no apparent reason, Li Chen was merciless when it caused the mine disaster.On the one hand, the boundaries of his own ability are set there, and he has no worries about whether he will stay or not; Bigger is better.

Of course, such a big mess happened suddenly, it was impossible for Lone Wolf to just think it was a natural disaster.To a certain extent, the mine is equivalent to the cage of the lone wolf. If something goes wrong in the prison, both the guards and the prisoners may be suspects.Among them, Akeye and Xia Luo are the key objects of custody of the lone wolf—they were brought out by Li Chen even if they survived.

Li Chen remembered that Xia Luo said that it was Aideren's idea to let him go back to the magic crystal mine.Aideren was Fujalal's little feather four years ago, and now I don't know if he is or not, but as soon as he did a "good person and good deed", such a tragedy happened immediately, so the former president of the melting pot must be implicated.

Bing is expensive, but no matter how fast you are, you must first arrange it properly.If during this period, Fujalal really dared to shamelessly say that the mines in Lone Wolf were under his name, Li Chen would have no choice but to accept it.

After thinking about it for two days, Li Chen approached the intelligence team lent to him by Saenz, saying that he didn't need to inquire about the affairs of Akye's old department so fiercely in the near future, and he could let it go for a while.

The intelligence team had just failed in the mission of "can't find Regsella", but news from the old department of the former Lone Wolf leader's agent came wave after wave, and he was on the verge of regaining his confidence.When the entrusted children asked them to stop, they all expressed doubts.

Li Chen couldn't say that it was because he was afraid that they would scare the snake away, so he could only push back: "We have to inquire about this matter now, and it will take a while to deal with it. What if there is any change at that time? Let's talk about it later."

"We can update in real time," the intelligence team said.

Wouldn't it be even more shocking!Li Chen thought for a while and said, "Okay. But now we can change the direction, such as lace news or something?"

Intelligence team: "Specifically?"

Li Chen coughed: "For example, do they have a good relationship with other mercenary groups, have they offended anyone, do they have any strange hobbies..."

Intelligence team: "Why are you gossiping?"

Li Chen: "...to amuse His Highness?"

The intelligence team was stunned.It really deserves to be the child whose Highness is willing to lend his left and right arms for his use. This awareness is really incomparable to the four beauties around His Highness.

"Four beauties" refer to the four female officials that Saenz brought to Tadan.Four of these girls were brought here, so it can be seen that these four are quite outstanding.

After thinking about it, Saenz only asked the intelligence team to inquire about the news that Li Chen wanted to know, and did not ask Li Chen to know something in real time.The intelligence team always listens to Li Chen's orders, so there is no need to be too serious.Now that Li Chen has changed his request, he can change the direction of the investigation accordingly.

Seeing that the intelligence team responded, Li Chen heaved a sigh of relief.After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Who is there next to His Highness named Sal?"

When everyone in the intelligence team heard this question, they all put on a blank face, expressing that they didn't know.

Who is Sal?

A few days later, Li Chen stood in the queue for Oloire County, feeling that he was a joke for worrying about this problem.

Li Chen didn't dare to say that he could name everyone in the team, but at least he could tell who couldn't be "Saar".In the queue, a young man was whispering to the people around him.He has brown hair and brown eyes, and is dressed in light attire, with a mercenary badge on the left side of his chest, and a short staff less than one meter in his right hand.If you are not familiar with it, the first time Li Chen saw this face can be traced back to the "Black Swan Period" two years ago; but if you are familiar with it, he has not learned the "name" of this face in the past two years "!"

This negligence caused him to make such a big joke!

After the young man finished talking with others, he saw Li Chen standing there with a face of "feeling the world's malice", thought about the reason, and asked in an unabashedly cheerful tone: "What, there is a problem?"

Go big!With a stiff face, Li Chen replied abruptly: "No."

It was rare for the young man to see him deflated, he lifted his short staff against Li Chen's chin, and asked knowingly, "Don't you know me?"

The corner of Li Chen's mouth twitched.They stood so close, the reflection of the contract between the two was so strong that it was hard to ignore it.Not to mention that the young man is using a face he has seen before, even if the young man is turned into a stone or ashes, he can recognize it: "...I know, Your Highness."

The young man smiled: "Just call me 'Saar' outside."

Hearing the other party just say this "joke", Li Chen almost wanted to press himself in a hole in the ground: "...Yes."

The young man's name is "Sarl", and Saenz is "Sarl"!It's not that Li Chen hasn't guessed like this before, but he still feels that his questioning behavior in the past few days is stupid.No wonder the intelligence team looked at him with doubts and sympathy, no wonder the members who went to Ao County all looked at him with a faint smile, everyone knows that His Highness is playing with him!

Oh, by the way, I also staged a disgusting "jealousy" scene in front of Saenz...

Li Chen wanted to cover his face.As the saying goes, there is no way to keep your shoes wet when you often stand by the river.He could be regarded as lifting a rock and hitting his own foot.

This guy Saenz, is it already too much to joke with his subordinates?Thinking of this, Li Chen glanced at his boss with some headaches.He had only slightly known that young people would use other faces to "walk the rivers and lakes", but he didn't know that this pure white man not only fabricated a fake identity, but also applied for a mercenary qualification with a fake identity.It turned out that when he changed his character design, he was able to act without any pretense and awkwardness, because he had already used another identity to do whatever he wanted!

You shouldn't play this kind of game with others, right?Li Chen did not guess with certainty.From the "black swan scam" two years ago to the present, Li Chen can vaguely detect that his "reverse cultivation" is not obvious on the surface, but it is effective in the dark.Saenz treats him both as a subordinate and as a friend, and he can make jokes when he can talk about serious business; sometimes Saenz teases him, and sometimes Li Chen goes back in disgust, and the two get along easily.

In other words, Saenz would make this kind of joke with Li Chen, which is completely what Li Chen is used to.

Seeing the black-haired boy pretending to be sulky, Saenz was quite happy.He tapped the short stick in his hand on the man's shoulder: "Got it. Take it."

Li Chen took the scepter in a daze.The short stick is woody brown, smooth and not slippery, with excellent hand feeling. The whole is straight and slightly protruding wood knots. The top is buckled with a metal ring and has four woodworking claws of the same texture as the stick body, and an irregular magic crystal is caught in the middle.The magic crystal is almost the size of a child's fist, with a strong color, which does not appear during the day and shimmers at night, and it is top-grade at first glance.

Looking at Saenz again, he has already taken another longer magic wand, obviously prepared for magicians, and it seems that he doesn't mean to ask Li Chen to help hold the short wand.

This is... the rhythm of hitting a stick and giving another stick?

Li Chen took the short stick and embarked on the trip to Ao County.At this point, the scepter ushered in its true owner.
