Throne Steps

The day of shining grace has finally arrived.

As soon as the sky turned pale, Li Chen was woken up by the female officer.Washing, dressing, and tidying up, two female officers surrounded Li Chen to make him look good, everything was carried out according to the established procedure, even if he closed his eyes and fell asleep halfway, it didn't matter.

Even if the sword had to be removed and stored in a special place before entering the temple, the blade of the sword that could not be unsheathed today was still polished.

When the sun cast the first ray of light from the clouds in the sky, Li Chen had already gone out.

To be honest, he didn't have any real feeling in the mansion, and when he walked out of the mansion, he suddenly froze for a moment.

Many people in white robes have already prayed outside the safe area of ​​the mansion.They should have been blocked outside the city gate due to current restrictions.According to the usual practice, these people often pray outside the pure white mansion, and then enter after the capital of the temple is no longer restricted.This year, due to the superimposition of Saenz's heir ceremony by the grace of sunshine, there are extraordinarily many people outside Saenz's private house.On the day of Fu Zhao'en, the number of people can be said to have reached an extreme value.

Li Chen came out early, if he had been later, he would have been baptized by more enthusiastic gazes.

Even so, there were still many sharp-eyed people saluting him.Li Chen, if you don't return the gift, you just pretend you didn't see it - he is not pure white, it would be bad if he did it for him.

The carriage Saenz arranged for him was very low-key, so low-key that it was almost impossible to tell that it was a carriage from a noble mansion.But it was able to drive into the capital of the temple during the limited flow days, which meant that it was actually not simple.

In the morning light, the streets of the capital of the temples have begun to appear faintly bustling, and the streets are filled with the fragrance of breakfast.Everyone got up early, but no one seemed sleepy.The carriage passed by slowly on the stone road, Li Chen opened the curtains and looked out, two middle-aged men were playing drums on the side of the street, and a girl with red curly hair stood beside her.The girl met Li Chen's eyes without any experience, so she nodded and smiled at him.The eyes are bright and gazing, the spirit is flying, and it is very beautiful.

Li Chen was emotionally infected by this dancer, and smiled at her too.

The carriage walked slowly for a while, and the lively sound gradually subsided.

This is not to say that there are places inaccessible, on the contrary, there are more people here.Most of them are people who are allowed to enter the square in front of the temple, rushing to occupy a front row seat early in the morning.If it weren't for the strict prohibition of staying overnight in the square in front of the hall, they might have slept there for a few days.

And the closer to the temple, the more involuntarily quiet people will be.The guards with expressionless faces almost every ten steps, their eyes are fixed on the surroundings, while ensuring safety, they also seem to remind people not to make loud noises.Li Chen observed several guards again and again, and found that these people were probably people who Saenz had brought to the battlefield.

From this, it can also be seen that Saenz attaches great importance to and controls today.

"My lord, please get out of the car."

Li Chen got out of the car after being reminded by the coachman, and walked forward following the not-so-busy crowd.There is still a certain distance from the temple here, but the carriage cannot go any further, otherwise it may cause congestion later on.And this is a way to go to the temple from the side - after all, the square in front of the temple is gathering crowds, and the nobles who want to enter the temple will have to work hard to pass through.

Being able to get here in a carriage is already a kind of preferential treatment, and the rest can be done on your own.

Li Chen silently stared at the skirt of a lady not far in front.When he himself was forced to wear women's clothing, skirts and shoes were considered polite, but he felt painful standing for a while.Today, these aristocratic women must dress up to attend.Think about the weight they bear, and think about their shoes... Li Chen thinks that they are all real warriors.

All the way forward, the temple square is not far from the side.The temple in the city of the temple is also built on a hillside, and the square in front of the temple is sunken for the temple.Walk up the steps towards the temple along the side road, and you can see the people gathering in the square and the beautiful sunrise in the distance.

The white temple and the golden sun are on both sides of the field of vision, and there are more and more believers in the square below the middle. This picture is a bit magnificent and a bit sacred.

All of this is the daily life of the city of temples, which cannot be compared with the small and exquisite Ainuma Temple.

Li Chen arrived at the gate of the temple, took off his sword, and handed the invitation to the clergy at the gate.

"Please come in."

Li Chen walked into the temple, this is not him walking into this temple, but it always feels different.

The temple has long been established, and is said to have existed before the Compact of Man, but has since been renovated and partially rebuilt.But even from the time of reconstruction, it has a history of hundreds of years.Its style is simple and calm, the decoration and furnishings are simple and rich in history, and in the details, you can see how the skilled craftsmen of the year spent their energy on this temple.

Li Chen walked all the way in, one after another bright magic brushed over his body, as if to make his condition better than ever.People's eyes also slid past him one after another, obviously they were all surprised that the black swan could appear here.

Even if they don't know Li Chen's face, they can guess Li Chen's identity from his clothes.

What surprised them even more was that Li Chen went to the innermost hall.That is the place where the image teleportation array will be opened, and it is the place where today's pure white patriarch and heirs will stay the longest, and it is also the place where the most prominent and important people can enter.

After today, people will have a new understanding of the identity of the black swan.

In the hall, prominent people were greeting each other, but quite a few people turned a blind eye to Li Chen.Li Chen thought it was normal, he found his seat according to the invitation, sat down, and then looked around.

To be honest, although this hall is not too big, the royal family will not come, and several prominent nobles have fallen out with Eternal Color, so many people can still enter.

For example, the color of the silver pearl, the head of the house and the mistress, Cervantes and Ruby, and Tania, the fire rose, also came as Saenz's mother.

Ruby and Tanya both took the time to wink at Li Chen.

Li Chen nodded to the two beautiful ladies dumbfounded.

The head couple of Sea Blue came with Beren.Beren's temper was cold and cold, but his appearance was well-deservedly gorgeous and beautiful, and as soon as he came in, he made other people of all colors lose their luster.His eyes swept across Li Chen, paused, and then turned away.

Cervantes didn't mind the embarrassment before, so he took the initiative to say hello to Belen, and even had a brief chat.Although the color of the silver pearl can only be regarded as heroic and majestic beside Beren of the same generation, he has the resolute quality from the battlefield experience, and his aura is not bad at all when he is shoulder to shoulder with Beren.

Later, the pure white family members came.

The Fujerals, holding their nine-year-old son.Fjeral still looks gentle like a spring breeze, but I don't know if Saenz's appearance rate is too high recently, which makes Fjeral look a little less bloody and resolute.

Lailier, without asking anyone to hold her arm, came in by herself.She finally wore the pure white "Pearl" standard equipment, a white gold-edged skirt and a shawl of the same style, and her slightly curly blond hair seemed to be shining.

The youngest in pure white, the twins came in arm in arm.They are the allies of Saenz, Saenz has been successfully elected as the heir, and they seem to be happier than Fujelal.

There are several other pure white colors, so I won't repeat them one by one.

At ten o'clock, the ceremony officially began.

Vagchenau and Saenz did not immediately appear in the palace.According to the procedure, they had to go outside to meet the believers in the square in front of the temple, and then activate all the light formations in the entire temple there.

The nobles in the hall sat quietly. Everyone seemed to be used to it, and they had a tacit understanding. No one looked back at the closed hall gate.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a tinnitus of "buzz", and a powerful light magic passed over everyone.

Let people instantly forget their troubles, pain, all evil, and all differences and oppositions.The heart seems to be surrounded by comfortable warmth, safe and stable; the body seems to have reached a certain peak state, accompanied by a kind of self-confidence that can easily reach the former.

The light magic circle was activated, and the voices of the people in the square were overwhelming, penetrating through the layers of halls and gates, and reaching the ears of the people in the inner hall.

For some reason, Li Chen felt that a certain emotion was gradually rising in his heart.

This high emotion was not only reflected in him alone, because 10 minutes later, the first moment the door of the hall sounded, almost all the people in the hall turned their heads to look.

The guard opened the door, and the figure of the saint appeared there, her white and gold-patterned skirt swaying slightly.

People stood up one after another to welcome the arrival of Vagchenau and Saenz.

Saenz and Vagchenau are there side by side.

Today, they are wearing long cassocks with gold silk pattern on a white background, and silk robes with bright gold borders and dark gold patterns embossed on a champagne gold ground.As she walked, a pair of satin gold shoes peeked out.

When Li Chen saw Saenz, he was slightly taken aback.

His high crown is slightly shorter, and the pattern on the robe is not as complicated as that of Wagcheno, but this is normal.What stunned Li Chen was the half-length slightly see-through veil hanging from the edge of the crown.

It only slightly covered the upper half of Saenz's face, but it seemed to isolate the pure white two from other people and everything else.

It was the first time for Li Chen to see Saen Si wearing a veil, and it was also the first time that he felt... This man is like the stars, the moon, and the sun hanging high in the sky.In short, it is far, far away from the people on the ground.It seemed that when they appeared, everything on the ground lost its color.

Perhaps, this is how those people in the square in front of the temple feel when they see the pure white color.

It may be that Li Chen's gaze is too straight and blank, or it may be that he is too "conspicuous" to Saenz, or it may be Lichen's illusion... Lichen felt that Saenz glanced at him.

Across the white gauze, Li Chen was not very sure.

Like everyone else, he saluted to the two pure white colors, and then, like everyone else, followed the pure white colors to turn to the front of the hall, in the direction of the image transmission array.

The two pure white colors stood there, as if the power of light could emanate from them.Li Chen still stared at Saenz's veil, as if he wanted to see something from it.

Suddenly, he was shocked by the contract.

……oh.Li Chen slowly withdrew his probing gaze: Just now, he really glanced at me.
