Throne Steps

The current location of the "Black Swan" is outside the territory of pure white color, which is a result of Li Chen's multiple considerations.Intelligence trends, resource integration, and mission execution, in general, Li Chen thinks that this distance—of course referring to the distance between "Black Swan" and Saenz's mansion—is just right.

The location of Wiggins’ temple is not in the territory of pure white color, but is located in a non-eternal color territory in the north of the territory. On the map and Saenz’s mansion, now "Black Swan" The resident can basically form an equilateral triangle.Although this location is closer to Saenz's more famous Northland and Rock Eagle than the "Black Swan", it is far away from the intelligence center in the central part of the Federation. Li Chen was not satisfied with this at one time.

But it's useless to be dissatisfied. The rich man is the uncle. The temple will be completed within this year, and the headquarters of the "Black Swan" will move north next year.The present station may only be reduced to a foothold in the future.

After traveling day and night for a few days, you can reach the "Black Swan" station from the capital of the temple.Although the "Black Swan" has been established for more than three years, there are only about [-] members at present, and a yard can cover the whole area.Li Chen doesn't set too many rules to control them, he only draws a few bottom lines, and they jump around as they please.If it wasn't for Saenz who took the initiative to order the badge, this group of people probably wouldn't even have a common symbol.

When Li Chen, Akeye, and Fodexi returned to the yard, two mercenaries were fighting, and most of the others were lazily spread out under the shade of trees and corridors to watch.Li Chen didn't think these postures were a big deal at first, but now that Saenz disliked the low-end postures of the female officers recruited by Wiggins, he suddenly felt that the possibility of this group of people being rectified was very high.

"Hey, you're back!" A group of men and women waved to them knowingly, except for the two who were fighting hard.

Akeye and Fodexi were indifferent, and they nodded in agreement.Li Chen is currently in the setting of a non-responsible person, and has no leadership style, so he raised his hand and replied, "Long time no see."

"Let me see, have you got your second-level badge, little pharmacist?" A man stood up from the shade of a tree, his strong physique over two meters made him look like a giant.Li Chen saw him walking straight in front of her and stretched out his hands, and hurriedly shouted: "Ogysius, have you washed your hands yet!"

"Don't worry, even if it's poisonous, you can get rid of it, otherwise how would I dare to keep it in my hand?" The man laughed, put his hands under Li Chen's armpit and brought him up. The mercenary badge was almost at eye level, "Oh, two stars! That's amazing!"

Although Li Chen looked only sixteen or seventeen, his height was actually 177—or 178—and he was easily lifted up by this giant. He couldn't help but feel a little helpless: "I hope this is not mocking me."

This Ogysius is a real level five mercenary. He has completed four-star mercenary missions by himself and is heading for nine-star.Now that Li Chen is amazing, I always feel that he is mocking him for the two-star mission, and he has to mobilize people to help him to complete it.

"I'm really complimenting you. Look at your small arms and legs, you are still an alchemist!" Ogysius laughed, "If you want me to say, you don't even need to enter Samuel, otherwise whoever will hurt you We make medicine?"

"You can't say that." A plump female mercenary in red armor interjected, "If you don't take him, maybe we won't be able to meet the crystal core beast!"

The female mercenary was selected into the team of Samuel's trip this time, and the originally harmless two-star sightseeing turned into an exciting trip of hunting crystal core monsters, and she had personally experienced the excitement.In particular, Li Chen, an alchemist, was able to play a key role without delay, and the female mercenary became close to this "little devil" unsurprisingly.

Someone from behind shouted: "According to what you said, if it wasn't for Li Chen who wanted to complete the two-star mission at this time, you wouldn't even be able to see the fur of a monster!"

"Yes yes yes. The kid is our mascot hahahaha!"

Li Chen, who was forced to become a mascot from the person in charge, was too lazy to argue with these ruffians, and his force value was much weaker than them, so he could only pat Ogysius who was holding himself up: "You like to hold hands so much?" mascot, just take me into the house."

"Tsk tsk, Samir is a lot more courageous after going there, dare to ask me to be a means of transportation?" Ogysius chuckled, but really planned to take Li Chen and hug him.But before he retracted his hand, Akye hugged Li Chen's waist from behind and pulled him out of Ogysius's hand.

Akye didn't carry it by himself, and put Li Chen back on the ground after changing hands.Next to them, Fudexi was standing not far from the two who were sparring—or fighting each other: "If you are not serious, don't waste your energy. There is time for you to spend your energy."

Fudexi's bad-tempered image has spread from rock eagle to black swan. Anyway, if he is unhappy, he will be violently suppressed with a series of arrows.After hearing this, the two mercenaries stopped their movements slowly, their bodies were covered with traces of various open and dark arrows, and they were very embarrassed.

Li Chen, Akeye, and Fodexi walked towards the house, and someone asked, "Is it going to waste our energy? Is there a collective task that brought us all back?"

Fu Dexi originally wanted to answer that there was a personnel change to talk about, but Li Chen turned around and smiled first: "Yes."

In the hearts of other Black Swan members, Li Chen can be regarded as the spokesperson of His Highness.Now that Li Chen actually directly said that he had a mission, everyone thought that His Highness was going to do something important, and they all got excited: "What are you going to do?"

Li Chen glanced at Fu Dexi, who was showing doubts, and smiled: "Temporary confidentiality."

What is the latest collective mission of the "Black Swan"?

Etiquette lesson!

Although it was just a temporary idea, Li Chen did not regret this decision at all. "Black Swan" will be incorporated into the guards of the temple next year. If it is still as loose and free as it is now, it will be too far from the style of the temple, and I am afraid it will even affect the image of Saenz.In addition, the people who train Wiggins' female officers are all picked from the "Black Swan". If the "Black Swan" loses his demeanor, it will also have a negative impact on the position of the "Black Swan" in the Saenz camp. .

To sum up, Li Chen decided to let this group of people at least practice a little bluffing demeanor.

"Foot, take it back!"

Li Chen's short stick unceremoniously chopped at the mercenary man's instep, but was quickly dodged by the mercenary man, and returned to a position that satisfied him.A woman next to her was about to laugh when a pair of Qianqian hands pressed her shoulders from behind, and then pulled her hard!

"Such a beautiful body, it would be a pity not to be upright." Another girl walked past the female mercenary, and whispered, "It's okay to laugh, but it's better to put yourself in a higher position."

The members of the Black Swan who were recalled to the station all gathered in this living room, sitting face to face in a row, with their waists straight and their eyes straight ahead, trying to create a chilling atmosphere in the etiquette class.In fact, it's not that they are not allowed to move, it's just that this group of mercenaries who are usually lazy "moves too much and makes mistakes", so they simply don't move much.

There were only five people standing.Li Chen was wearing the white gold-edged guard uniform, with a tall and straight posture, with a sword hanging on his waist, and his silver-white boots stepped on the stone floor step by step.The other four are the female officers who are still by his side. Each of them pulled up their long hair and braided it into various demure and elegant hairstyles behind their heads. Light gauze; a white draped long skirt sweeping the floor, and a decorative cape of the same color hung on the shoulder buttons, the style is simple and dignified.

These outfits are very close to what they will wear in the temple uniform, and they can even be said to be benchmarks.Li Chen brought four female officials to wear this outfit to teach etiquette, just to let the group of people experience it in advance.

Needless to say to the ladies, Saenz's products must be high-quality products, and Li Chen's etiquette surprised the other Black Swan members a little.Their understanding of Li Chen is the set of settings that Li Chen made up for himself—it’s just a civilian kid who escaped—and now he can still teach etiquette in a decent way, which is really impressive.

Li Chen didn't have a very obvious standard for recruiting people, but these twenty or so people came down, and they basically followed the style of stability.It's hard to say how good this group of people can fight, but most of them are accurate.They could see that even if Li Chen's etiquette and demeanor could not be exaggerated to the extent that it was brought out from the bottom of his heart, it was by no means superficial.And this kind of performance, coupled with his so-called "fleeing children" setting, is a bit subtle.

It's not that he didn't think that Li Chen was also a young master who came out of a big family before he fled, but this young master's helper, Clement, was also sitting stiffly on the chair.Being able to escape with the young master of a big family, the status of this helper in that family is definitely not low.With such an identity, is Clement's etiquette so low?It must be ridiculous.

Of course, how to make up the story is up to the imagination of these mercenaries.Anyway, the two persons in charge are sitting here with them, and they have nothing to say.The guards in the temple need manners, understandability, and support.

"If you want to see Clermont, you can turn your head to look at it." The young man loosened the five fingers of the left glove one by one, pinched the middle finger and pulled the glove off.Seeing this, the female officer standing next to her came over with a small tray. Li Chen put the glove in the female officer's hand, and then put the right hand glove on it repeatedly.

He turned back to look at the female mercenary who was sitting upright until her hands and feet were stiff: "It doesn't hurt to have your eyeballs slanted like that."

The female mercenary who was pointed turned around to look at Li Chen, and complained: "Even how to control the movement of the eyeballs?"

In fact, Lichen didn't set specific standardized actions, nor did he require them to do so all the time. He only asked them to look as elegant as possible under certain circumstances—and to persist no matter how long it took .

Li Chen smiled: "You are a woman."

The female mercenary raised her eyebrows: "So?"

"So, restrain your hooligan behavior and show off your charm." Li Chen approached her, first looked down at her, then slowly lowered his head, "Conquer men like conquering monsters, let men Be mesmerized by you."

"Hey." The female mercenary laughed, "Little devil, Maodu...hey!"

Li Chen blinked, and retracted the feet that kicked the female mercenary just now: "You don't have to sit so straight when you sit with your knees side by side. Just turn your knees and waist sideways, and just bring your shoulders back straight."

The female mercenary took a deep breath: "You study women's movements more thoroughly than I do."

It was a bit ironic to say this, and both Fudexi and Akye turned their eyes.

This kind of provocative language didn't hurt Li Chen, he stretched out his hand, and grabbed the maid's hair back into a ponytail: "Ye Lian, come and tie her a ponytail."

The female officer named Ye Lian drew a colorful rope from the back waist covered by the cloak, walked behind the female mercenary and tied up the female mercenary's hair three or two times. The long red hair was curled in the lower half. Son, it's really beautiful.

Li Chen laughed and said, "You can wear uniforms like men, but you have to wear ponytails."

The female mercenaries were quite happy to hear that they didn't have to wear long skirts like the female officers, but they also had doubts: "Why must it be a ponytail?"

In fact, the answer would be fine if it was "looks energetic" and "clean and tidy", but Li Chen laughed and replied: "Show your beautiful nape."

The female mercenaries choked and were about to speak, but Ye Lian said with a smile: "Please be careful with your words."

well said!The mercenaries who were tortured by the etiquette class looked at Li Chen, and the eyes of "you have today" seemed to be able to form substance.

Ye Lian went on to say: "Ladies here are not yet married. It is not a gentleman's act to tease the ladies in the boudoir with random words."

The female mercenaries who were "in the boudoir" froze.I always feel that although this is true, it is still weird.
