Throne Steps

An organization that dares to provide addictive drugs to the market, even to Lailier, must not be a cigarette butt that is easily stamped out.

When Saenz sent Sean to the front line, it might not have meant training her to go further, but he still made her put safety first.Li Chen asked Akeye to be in charge of investigating this matter, verbally saying that he would let his crush... Well, Xiao En, who is clearly in love with Akeye, was willing to go, but he might not have the idea of ​​letting Akeye prepare for battle at any time.

Referring to the drug gangs in the original world, Li Chen feels that it is not surprising that the target being pursued now has armed forces.Moreover, Black Swan himself has done this kind of death. Even in the deep mountains and old forests, Black Swan's defense line is very strong, which can be said to be very experienced.

Therefore, under Li Chen's proposal, Saenz secretly increased the deployment of armed forces at the location of the Alchemy Group.

This kind of movement even "alarmed" Vagcheno, who was also recovering from his injuries. He wrote to ask Saenz why he suddenly mobilized heavily armed mercenaries.

Saenz replied honestly about the alchemy group, but he didn't mention anything about Cervantes' capture and Sergey Sha.He also filed an application, requesting the Patriarch's intelligence and armed forces to secretly support the matter.

The messenger bird hula-la flew away, and flew back again, bringing the news that the head of the family agreed.

How could these two be the Patriarch and Patriarch's heir? They had just finished the fight, and then conspired to attack others secretly.

Li Chen sighed: "There is no eternal father and son, only eternal interests..."

Saenz glanced at him: "What are you mumbling about?"

Li Chen smiled sheepishly: "It's nothing."

When Saenz continued to look at things again, Seryozha, who had dyed light brown hair, approached Li Chen: "I heard what you just said."

"Go away." Li Chen glanced at him, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, can you... Can you look at me freely?"

"In theory, yes. You know, he has countless things you have used, and he showed me you." Seryosha paused, and then said, "But he doesn't allow me to use it without his permission. Let's see you."

He seemed to have said a tongue twister, Li Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Does he have to agree?"

"According to your words, he must agree." Seryozha replied.

Li Chen asked again: "Even if I am missing, can His Highness or Black Swan ask you?"

"No," replied Seryozha, "I can only see you on his own order."

"You don't need to look at him, I know where he is." Saenz, who was sitting not far away, suddenly interjected, "You better stop thinking about him."

"Are you afraid that your whereabouts will be leaked when you are with him?" Seryozha turned his head and smiled at him, "You can rest assured that I can't pass through the various defensive formations opened based on your strength. "

His words seemed quite reassuring, but Li Chen reacted for two seconds, then suddenly turned his head and cursed secretly twice.

Seryozha:?

Saenz: I must have thought that I didn't set up an isolation formation when we did that. It's so cute, haha.

Saenz and the Patriarch's people didn't mix and cooperate, but at the order of the two bosses, they would at least share information and plans.

Sean quickly got the list of members of this gang and the relationship diagram between them. She was puzzled, or the first thing she noticed were two things: one was that the leader of this organization was actually a self-made figure, It seems that there is no upline pulling him; the second is...

"Mills?" Saenz was stunned for a moment, but he didn't realize who the name on the paper was referring to.On the contrary, Li Chen touched his chin, pondering, "Is... my former roommate?"

"Ok?"

"It's the group of four we used to be in Pesa..." Li Chen stretched out four fingers, counted one and retracted one, "I, Wiggins, Noah..."

Saenz followed his bent little finger and said, "...Mills."

"That's right." Li Chen replied, "I still remember, the first time I went back to your private house in the capital of the temple, he had a little fun with your little gardener at the time... Do you remember? ?”

Saenz raised his eyebrows and said, "So? Do you remember what the gardener's name is?"

Li Chen tried his best, but failed.

"Look, it's normal for an insignificant person not to remember, isn't it?" Saenz smiled, "I remember he joined an alchemy group under my name, and then I didn't pay attention to it. Now it seems , he does not have a chance."

Li Chen tried to reach out to the rest of the documents, but found that Saenz didn't care about him at all, so he simply picked them up and flipped through them: "Oh, Sean pulled out his resume when he was still serving you."

This resume is basically useless. You can guess with your toes that Mills' "miraculous experience" must have started after he jumped out of the alchemy group.But although the resume is useless, at least it can shorten the time period that needs to be checked carefully.

However, Mills' resume needs to be checked, but it is not the most important right now.The most important task facing the intelligence organization now should be to find out the behind-the-scenes instructions of this organization.

To do this, in addition to finding out the resumes of the leaders we know so far, we must also pay attention to some people whose backgrounds are too weak in the initial screening.

Sean is too familiar with potion methods. Even though she is an excellent graduate of Pesa, her knowledge of forbidden drugs exceeds most alchemists.In her report, she wrote that she seriously suspected that several members of the gang had taken "transfiguration potions."

But whether it has been taken or not is very difficult to verify.In particular, this is a group that studies alchemy, and there is no need to import medicine from the outside. It is difficult for Sean to guess how many "face-changing people" there are in this organization.

Li Chen thought for a while: "Let Sean get me their raw material purchase list, and I can try to analyze it."

Li Chen's orthodox alchemy may not be comparable to Xiao En's, but when it comes to banned drugs and forbidden techniques, he is really the absolute leader in the entire league.With the cross-comparison between him and Sean, it is hard to escape the eyes of what this organization is actually researching.

What's more, Black Swan also has a group of loyal alchemists. Among other things, they are definitely good at making poison.Let them guess the actual finished product from the raw material list, at least some of the functions of the finished product will not go wrong.

Xie Liozha also said: "If it doesn't work, just give it to me. I'll take a few more glances to see when he will 'patronize' my consciousness. Maybe he will do something 'good people and good deeds'?"

Saenz pondered for a while, and said: "Then divide the list into three parts. One part will be analyzed by Xiao En and the alchemy team under my name, one part will be given to Black Swan, and the other part will be shown by Sergey Sha. Guess no If you can guess their alchemy purpose, let’s talk about it, just a little bit, don’t let the wind out.”

Seriosha spread his hands: "I'm right under your nose, and I'll return it to you after reading it. Where can I leak the news?"

Li Chen imitated Xie Liaosha's tone and movements, and spread his hands: "I am also under your nose, and the alchemist of the Black Swan has already executed a group of people who are not strict. Where can I leak the news?"

Seryozha turned to look at him in surprise: "It turned out that the group of alchemists were silenced because they were not strict with their mouths!"

Li Chen narrowed his eyes: "Didn't you say you don't want to look at me?"

"He read it!" Seryozha replied, "he still hummed after watching it, saying that they knew your bad temper and dared to touch your hands... Oh, 'bad temper' is his exact word, you What are you staring at me for?"

Li Chen stared at him: "Believe it or not, I will let you die again?"

"I, my body, you didn't kill me before, why did you kill me 'again'?" Xie Liaosha's mouth is more serious than Li Chen, "Besides, I am an energy body now, you What about my talent——" He deliberately glanced up and down at Li Chen, "Cutting off my energy supply."

Saenz said coldly: "Then can I?"

Seryozha shut up.

Cervantes has been missing for more than half a month.

The hostage rescue has turned into an intelligence war, and Li Chen really admires Saenz's foresight.If he hadn't transferred Xiao En, the head of the intelligence department, to the front line from the very beginning, he might not have been able to concentrate the intelligence investigation force on key points so quickly.Moreover, the head of the family's intelligence forces forcefully intervened halfway. If Xiao En hadn't resisted it, it is still unclear who is leading the investigation of this matter.

Saenz was able to leave on his own long ago, but both Li Chen and Seryozha remained by his side.In such a big excitement, whoever leaves will lose.

Seryozha, who had nothing to do, still kept glancing at Cervantes every other day.

In fact, as the intelligence organization's investigation deepened, the alchemy gang also felt some oppression. The most representative point was the soundproof, anti-peeping, anti-detection and other functional formations covering the room where Cervantes lived. is being reinforced over and over again.And this just proves that the necromancer's talent surpasses most magicians, and this breakthrough is not a problem.

Li Chen once discussed with Xie Liaosha where the limit of the necromancer's talent is, and how powerful the pure white blood contains.

It is obvious that the current talent ranking is ordinary magicians and fighters < magicians and fighters of nine eternal colors < necromancers < magicians of pure white color.

In it, Li Chen obviously still belongs to the general category of magicians and warriors.Oh no, according to the results of his examination of Pesa back then, he is an alchemist who is not talented enough to enter the magic department.

So the necromancer wants to see him, every minute.

However, Li Chen himself felt that this matter may not be so conclusive.When he was chained back then, he had no talent at all, but after cutting the chain, he immediately had basic magic talent.According to these inferences, after the metal rings on his feet are removed, he is likely to "kill all directions".

This is not aimless, when the power of the elf king flowed into his body to investigate, he really felt that the cover of some kind of power was lifted.Looking at the leopard from the inside, he can fully imagine how powerful he was originally.

I just don't know if the broken magic power source can be repaired after the metal ring is removed.

"So..." Li Chen thought for a while, "It's entirely possible that he didn't want me to get out of control, so he didn't take off my shackles."

Without Seryozha, the necromancer himself would also have a "peeping mirror", and it would be no problem to use it to monitor Li Chen.

Hearing their discussion, Saenz interjected without raising his head: "But talent is one thing, strength is another. Didn't you hear what Seryozha said is 'in theory' and 'in principle'? ?”

Li Chen was taken aback, then turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"

"Talent only represents how much power I can contain and how much power I can explode, but it does not represent my application ability. The result of doing twice the result with half the effort is completely different from doing twice the result with half the effort." Saenz returned indifferently, "I don't even know his age. , You have seen with your own eyes the degree of proficiency in various techniques. As long as he is willing, he may not be able to suppress the pure white color."

Li Chen froze for a moment, then went to look at Xie Liaosha: "How old is he?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Seryozha shrugged, "But I'm over a hundred years old, what do you think? When I heard him scold Aideren, he would put the battle of the 'Human Concord' on the mouth, what do you say?"

"'Human Agreement'...?" Li Chen was taken aback, "How old are you?!"
