Throne Steps

When Saenz and his party arrived in Oloire County, there were still two days before the agreed meeting date.Although it seems that they are moving at a very fast speed, without Li Chen, who can't keep up with physical skills, and Akye, who has no magic power—oh, and maybe that woman whose role is not known for the time being—the team may be able to Another level of speed.

The location of Ao County is not the territory of eternal color.This area is neither suitable for large-scale agricultural production, nor has energy and metal mines. In a broad sense, there is no economic pull point for the lords to work hard.However, Aojun is connected to the Northland on the upper side, the Central Plains on the lower side, and the Forest of Samuel on the left. It can be regarded as stepping on the intersection of the mercenary mission routes.Over time, the mercenaries coming from south to north made Ao County gradually lively.The mercenary trade union has opened a small-scale office center in Ao County, several well-known mercenary regiments have also set up perennial garrisons here, and retired mercenaries have settled down in Ao County.Although the current Ao County is still a "county" at the administrative level, it is already close to the "city" level in scale.Mercenaries have become the main consumers here, and the binding power of the mercenary union is sometimes more useful than that of the lord's mansion. There are mercenaries everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Although the folk customs of the Northland are already quite rough, the style of O County is even more free and easy, as if the whole county has been infected with the bold and unrestrained style of mercenaries.Saenz's team found a small hotel and settled down familiarly. When they entered the door, the owner of the hotel was performing roast suckling pig in public.Those who dislike the boss's lack of strength, those who say that the seasoning is not right, and those who intervene to guide the cooking are all those mercenaries gathered around to join in the fun.

There were "children and women" in Saenz's team, so he consciously avoided the booing men and went to the counter.

"Hey, look at the clear stream in this man's stench!" The proprietress recognized Saenz, and put the wine she just found on the counter, "Long time no see, Sal!"

"Saar" has a clean and elegant appearance, a tall figure, and a light magic robe adds to his elegant demeanor.Although most magicians are not taller than warriors, and are much gentler and more polite, there are still very few people in Austria County who can have an outstanding temperament like "Thal".

"Ah." Saenz hid the behavior of most of the nobles, and responded unhurriedly, with an absent-minded look, "I have a mission."

"A task?" The proprietress smiled, "Isn't it a task to marry a noble lady back?"

The mercenaries who knew "Thrall" had all heard the speculation that "Thrall is a nobleman", so they often leaned towards this side when they joked.Saenz laughed indifferently: "The ladies of the nobility are all sluggish and have no fun. How can the charm of the lady boss be so attractive?"

It was the first time Li Chen saw Saenz make such a joke.Speaking of which, since Saenz can say that himself, did he have such a big reaction when he joked about "going around the brothel" at the beginning?

Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people—especially Li Chen—are not allowed to light lamps, which is Saenz.

The proprietress was amused by the charming young man, and the boss who retired from the roast suckling pig battlefield soon came over and greeted Saenz quite familiarly.

After chatting for a while, Saenz finally asked them to open a room.The boss moved his finger back a little, and arrived at Li Chen after a few counts: "There is a child here? Sal, tell the truth, is it your son?"

The proprietress joked, "You still said you didn't go home and get married?"

Don't put a flag on my boss, okay... Li Chen complained silently, while Saenstie slipped to the counter: "How could I have such a child? It's just a child that my friend asked me to carry."

The boss and his wife looked at him as a child with black hair and black eyes, and they thought that it was impossible for him to have a close blood relationship with Sal.As for the other new faces in the team, the couple, who are used to seeing people coming and going, don't pay much attention to them.After counting the number of people with a smile, the room was opened, and he took out several keys and handed them to Saenz.

"Thanks." Saenz stuffed all the keys into Li Chen's hands, and asked the couple, "Zoman and the others are in O County?"

"Why, didn't you guys come here by appointment?" The proprietress wondered, "They've only come back from a big mission for two days, and they've arrived with you, I thought you had an appointment!"

The appointment is an appointment, but the target is not these mercenaries.Li Chen stood by and listened to the gossip, and honestly handed out the keys to the other team members who came over, a little hesitant about his destination tonight.

"Just asking, I didn't expect it to be here." Saenz leaned against the counter, saw Li Chen handing over the last key in his hand, and waved his hand for him to hold it, "Then, they are also in the hotel ?”

The boss laughed and said: "Why are you here now? I don't know where I'm soaking, and I may not come back at night! If you want me to say, you still have to go to the 'Flower House' to look for it. If you can't find Zuoman, you can still find Huagu ..."

Before she could finish speaking, the proprietress' elbow hit the boss's side waist, and she pouted in Li Chen's direction - there is a baby here!

Saenz glanced at Li Chen, and said goodbye with a smile: "Okay, I'll go and look for it later, and now I'll go upstairs and put things away."

As soon as the young man left, the team behind him followed suit.The boss saw that the child was carrying a bag, with a cloth-covered wooden stick inserted between the bag and the back, and followed Saenz up.When the evening approached, Saenz went downstairs and went out, still in the same suit, without his staff, and only two people followed him.One was wrapped in a robe and had a slender figure, and the other was the child with black hair and black eyes.The child changed into a suit of clothes, the backpack was gone, and only the wooden stick was left in his hand.

The boss clearly saw the skirt fluttering from under the robe, recalled the place Saenz said he was going to, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey, there are people who drag their families to visit the brothel these days!"

"Hua She" is not actually called Hua She, but the locals have used this nickname for a long time, and almost forgot its original name.In fact, Huashe is not just a kiln. According to its real positioning, it should be just a sensual place for guests to have fun.Of course, if the guests really need a gentle hometown temporarily, Huashe will not disappoint.

The street where Huashe is located has obviously been assimilated by Huashe.When the red clouds hung in the sky, the only people who came in and out of the flower house were adults looking for fun.Needless to say, Saenz and the woman wrapped in a robe, Li Chen, who is clearly a minor at a glance, is obviously an outlier.However, the life of the mercenaries has always been full of swords and fires, and seeing such a wonderful existence is at most a joke among themselves, so as not to feel shocking.

It was evening, and the flower house was already bursting with music, and it was very lively.As soon as Saenz and his party walked to the door, before they had time to look at the promotional board of "Residency Band of the Month", a young man with the appearance of a waiter came out of the flower house and greeted everyone while leading everyone in: "Good afternoon everyone, Please ask if you need..."

"Thrall?"

In the lobby, a big soldier dressed as a mercenary stood in front of the stairs and seemed to be about to go upstairs. When he turned around, he greeted him with a pleasant smile: "Long time no see!"

"Bear!" Saenz's eyes lit up, he reached out his hand and shook hands with the soldier, "It's been a long time, how are you?"

"Bear"?Li Chen followed behind and looked at each other calmly—is it a nickname?

The soldier named "Bear" said cheerfully: "It's so good, you don't know how big a guy we hunted this time... Do you have a place to go? Or you can go with me, Zuoman is also here. I'll go to the box Let me tell you about this mission in detail."

"Zoman is really here? It seems that the hotel owner has not misjudged your hobbies." Saenz said with a smile, "Then I won't say any polite words. Let's go, buy you a drink."

After hearing Saenz's answer, Leather Bear raised his hand and was about to wave away the waiter next to him, but suddenly paused, and said with a smirk, "Do you want to call me a girl?"

Saenz turned sideways, stretched out his hand to grab the woman wrapped in the robe to his side, and said with a smile, "Prepare yourselves, I want you to keep your eyes open."

"Yeah, you're all right." After hearing Saenz's words, Leather Bear knew that the status of this woman was not much better than that of the guest girl in the flower house; , thinking that people like Sal would not appreciate too much, so he formally waved the waiter back, "Let's go, drink!"

Leather Bear took the three of Saenz to a box in the back of the second floor, insisting that they stand behind him when opening the door, so as to give a "surprise" to the people inside.

The corridor on the second floor was not so noisy compared to the first floor, but when the door opened, a strong smell of alcohol rushed straight to the door.Li Chen didn't hear the lewd words and erotic words imagined by his wicked taste, but the sounds of punching and laughing followed one after another.

The movement of Leather Bear to open the door was not small, and with his size, most of the eyes in the box were attracted.A cheerful male voice mocked: "Peter Bear, it's been so long to take a pee, are you dying?"

"I think you're looking for a beating!" It was a matter of a man's dignity, and Pixiong immediately retorted, "I brought someone back, guess who it is?"

"Guess what!" the crowd coaxed, "Aside from being able to find girls, what else can you do? Oh, and you can pee for a long time!"

Pixiong was provoked by them, and he didn't care to keep showing off, he stepped into the door and stepped aside: "Look for yourself!"

As soon as Saenz showed his face, before he could say hello, everyone exploded.

"Sal!"

"Pet bear, what kind of shit luck did you go to find Thrall!"

"Sar, are you going out to visit the brothel with your whole family? You are so creative!"

Leather Bear was very dissatisfied with this group of people who were able to stab him when they welcomed Thrall, but when he heard that the artillery fire had changed direction, he immediately backed away three steps unkindly.Saenz didn't hesitate, he went straight into the door in two steps, then turned around and fished with his right hand, and brought the woman wrapped in a robe inside.

"Look at you guys, it's time for me to come." Saenz did not refute the jokes of the crowd, showing a slightly frivolous smile, "Come on, open your eyes."

While speaking, Saenz stretched out his hand to pull the woman's cloak.How clever Li Chen was, he had already stepped in automatically; now seeing that Saenz was about to lift his cloak, he quickly closed the box door with his backhand.

Everyone laughed and said: "Look at your son's nervousness, his mother is so shockingly tall, I want you to hide it like this...!"

The cloak on the woman's head fell under the weight of the joke, and her appearance was like a static symbol, which made the whole box become silent as soon as she appeared.Saenz lifted off the whole robe on her body, and the blond hair behind her was hanging down the shawl, making her fair skin slightly translucent.She was wearing a plain white dress with gold trim, the hem of the skirt fell to the floor, a metal waist chain was hooked at the high waist, and the neckline was flattened into a slightly curved streamline under the collarbone—the figure was also quite graceful.

However, no matter how beautiful her figure was, she was not as brilliant as her face.

Seeing everyone's astonishment, the woman who showed her face was very satisfied.The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and finally destroyed the original quiet and elegant expression, and turned into a happy smile: "I can't give birth to such a son."

Li Chen, who was patted on the shoulder by her flamboyant hand, was at the side as a prop in the foreground.The woman's words were obviously copied from Saenz's previous answer in the hotel, but Li Chen was very skeptical, did it mean that they couldn't have such a big son, or did it mean that their genetic level was far different from theirs?

"Fuck!" Bear, who was three steps away from the woman, finally reacted first, "You married a 'Lai Lier'!"
