Throne Steps

Two years later.

"So, the recently received intelligence about the silver-haired man is really Wiggins?"

"Even if our deduction is correct, it is not Wiggins to be precise... He had been dead for a long time when he was buried, and it must not be his own soul that moved his body."

"If you say that, I also have to doubt whether the Aideren you mentioned before is really himself."

Li Chen leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his feet on the edge of the table, and half-raised his head to cover his face with the materials.Sitting across the table was Menzel, with books and information spread out in front of him.The information seems to have been turned over many times, and it was marked and annotated with pens of different colors, reflecting the seriousness of the people who read it.

"Aideren must be a living person, I can be sure of this, I even felt his pulse." Menzel replied, "And Aideren's body has undergone physiological changes over time, that person should not Too idle to waste mana in a place like this."

"You reminded me of that." Li Chen tore off the paper covering his face, "If that guy doesn't bother to waste magic power to restore it, it is very likely that Wiggins will still be basically in good condition when he gets it. Then The time when the body was stolen was likely to be very close to the burial, much earlier than when something was wrong when it was discovered half a year later."

Menzel replied: "You're right, but only if it's really Wiggins' body, and that's the man who manipulated it."

"But even if it's Wiggins' body..." Li Chen was very puzzled, "What is he doing here?"

Menzel touched the stubble that was too late to pluck, and replied: "I don't know, but I remember that he is very interested in one thing-whether talent comes with the soul or a part of the body."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, if the talent comes from the body, then the necromancer is equivalent to getting a magic weapon that can spy anywhere and see through anyone?"

"That's the theory."

"This is much more convenient than the formation he would have been able to spy on." Li Chen frowned, "And his magical talent is unfathomable. If Wiggins' ability is linked to his magical power, I am afraid that few people will be able to escape. His 'eyes of heaven'."

"...This is all our speculation, and it may not be correct." Menzel shrugged, "Even if Wiggins' body is really moved because of him, he may not be able to display his talent smoothly, right?"

"...No, I'm afraid there are signs to verify our guess." Li Chen squinted his eyes, "The simplest reason is, if 'Wiggins' is useless, why did he spend magic power to bring him by his side?"

What Li Chen didn't say was that he himself came through the soul, and all his talents came from his body.According to this inference, Wiggins' ability... may also be used.

"Who knows?" Menzel felt that they had guessed too deeply, "You see, Aideren is useless, and that person still took him. So, don't judge the whole thing prematurely."

Li Chen glanced at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't want to listen to the deduction, go dig him out and confront him. It just so happens that I have a copy of Dragon Language waiting for translation."

"I'm just saying that there may be other possibilities. After all, we have preconceived it..." Menzel turned the information over and pushed it in front of Li Chen, "But at least, if you look at the characteristics mentioned in the investigation, they are indeed related to being manipulated." The features of the undead are very similar to... I mean, very similar to what I remember."

"I've never seen that one manipulating the undead." Li Chen lowered his feet, "Again, are there any other necromancers?"

"Honestly, I've never heard of another necromancer. Isn't this one amazing? And, I don't think that if there was another one, the one we know would be astonishing." That person will turn a blind eye to this." Menzel replied with no leaks, "Of course, your guess cannot be completely ruled out."

Li Chen was fed up with such ambiguous statements, he picked up the information and threw it at Menzel's face: "What's the use of you!"

Six months after Wiggins was buried, a shocking... black swan happened.

——His cemetery showed signs of being turned over. When Black Swan quietly opened the coffin for inspection, it was found that Wiggins' body was missing.

Black Swan once began to investigate Wiggins' fanatical fans.

Until half a year ago, Black Swan received information that someone had witnessed a person with long silver hair who looked like Wiggins appearing in a market in a certain town.

Others may think that this is just an imitation caused by hair dye, or pure coincidence.However, after hearing the news, Menzel and Li Chen closed their doors for two hours, and Li Chen decided to let Black Swan pay more attention to similar news that appeared in various places.

Because Menzel has seen necromancers manipulate skeletons, and so on, it seems that manipulating corpses is not difficult.

And today, even though most of the black swans don't know the purpose of the mission, the attribute that they must accomplish the mission still gives Lichen a rough answer.

However, Li Chen and the truth are always missing.

"Disappeared again?" Li Chen leaned back against the window, "It's been like this two or three times, appearing loudly, and then disappearing when I'm about to arrive. From the south, to the east, and now it's in the corner of the middle again ..."

The moonlight outside the window came in and fell on Li Chen's feet.

"Did he want to tell you something?" Menzel was facing him now. "You just need to discover those patterns yourself."

Li Chen glanced at him: "Can't you give me accurate information like before? You really don't know more?"

"I didn't, and I promise I won't hide it." Menzel sighed, "I'm almost used to you doubting me, but what good does it do me to betray you?"

Li Chen looked at him: "It's just because you have a criminal record..."

boom!bang bang——

There were a few bangs outside the window, Li Chen was taken aback, turned around and looked out the window, Menzel also walked over a few steps and stood by the window: "What happened? Don't get too close."

Three golden fireworks exploded in mid-air, and because they were too far away, they could only see golden flowers the size of fingernails scattered around.

Then, the distant sky returned to silence.

Menzel curled his lips: "What's the matter, there are still people in this remote country who use this method to court and give surprises?"

"...No." Li Chen frowned, thought for two seconds, and suddenly walked out the door quickly, "Call people immediately and start fighting!"

"Huh..." Menzel trotted to keep up with him, "What's going on? At least you got everyone prepared!"

"That's a distress signal." Li Chen grabbed the cloak, "Although I don't know who it is...but that signal is only for the pure white color."

"Hey?!"

Li Chen had already rushed to the golden gong, and when he picked up the hammer head, there was a loud bang!

"Emergency rescue! Dispatch immediately!"

Under the moonlight, tree-shaped buildings.

A diminutive figure wrapped in a cloak gallops through the trees.His footsteps were a little weak, but he must not slow down. The dark cloak covered his figure, but there was a rattling sound from the thorns.

He knew that his movements were too loud, but he couldn't pay attention anymore.He leaped over dead wood, leaped over rocks, and chose a direction with little hesitation.All he knows is: Hurry up!Hurry up!

The commotion behind him grew louder, and a flock of frightened birds sang in the moonlit night.

It was like a cry of despair.

Stepping into a wide area, he seemed to see his own death.But before he could change direction, the enemy had arrived!

rustling-

He threw a square crystal back without looking at it. In the blink of an eye, an ice wall stood behind him. In the next second, several arrows smashed the ice wall into several big holes.

The man wrapped in the cloak hurriedly fled in a straight line across the clearing.

However, while the ice wall that resisted the arrows was quickly shattered by a few magic spells, the enemy had already appeared from the opposite side of the escapers.

A few wind blades are coming!

He twisted his feet and tried his best to jump away, but was wiped by the last wind blade to the side of his face.Drops of blood slipped, and the cap of the cloak was blown off by the wind——

It turned out that he was her.

Her long golden hair was sliced ​​off by the wind blade, she took care of it flawlessly, and with a flick of her wrist, she threw two square crystals towards the opposite side at the same time!

Nourishes—

The moment the flames soared, the water dragon covered them, and when the two collided, thick water mist burst out, almost blocking everyone's sight.

But, only almost.

A few muffled hums sounded, and the life-seekers immediately recognized the direction and ran towards the source of the sound.

The mist dissipated, only to see a tall and fierce man grabbing the blond woman with his backhand.

"Why waste all your energy? Do you think you can escape by setting off three small fireworks?" The man sneered, "You who have drank the magic stagnant potion, how could you escape—His Royal Highness Lailier."

Lailier bowed her head, her blond hair seemed to glow under the moonlight.It seemed like she should have said something, or cursed, but the truth was, she hadn't said a word.

There was only panting caused by strenuous exercise and desperately suppressed.

The man didn't seem to mind, so he glanced to the side again: "Where's the explosive one?"

Lailier finally spoke, with exhaustion that could not be hidden in her voice, but her tone was very firm: "Since your purpose is my life, why bother to abolish the source of magic power?"

"You'll know later." The man smiled maliciously, "It depends on whether you can remain so calm when you find out later."

Lailier frowned, she had guessed it.

However, she, who cannot cast magic, has been completely controlled, and can only watch a magician come over, watching the other party call the power of the magic staff magic crystal-explode at herself.

"Ugh...!" Lailier clenched her lower lip, desperately maintaining the last bit of dignity.

At the same time, some people from all over the Redia Alliance were almost knocked down by the instant pain.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

In a place they couldn't imagine, Lairier, who had lost her source of magic power, almost fainted. As soon as the man let go, she fell straight down.

"I'm sorry, but what if the time limit of the magic stabiliser is inaccurate?" The man knelt down and touched Lailier's face, "Before you die, do one last good thing—"

The sorcerer stood beside him with a pale face just now, licked his chapped lips and said, "I'll be the first one."

The man glanced up at him, then suddenly sneered and said, "What's the hurry...you can be the first at the same time, can't you?"

The cloak was roughly torn off, and Lairelle was turned over like a lifeless puppet.The messy dress from fleeing for life was exposed, and the golden hair was stuck to the beautiful cheeks with sweat.

The godless eyes slowly closed, tears rolled down from the corners of the eyes, and the consciousness faded away...

The moonlight quietly shone on this clearing, and the forest seemed to have regained its calm.

——until a long, strange whistle sounded like a bird's song.
