Throne Steps

After the New Year, Saenz originally wanted to take Li Chen to meet the little prince, but Li Chen refused.

"No, I have to go to Yanying." Li Chen said, "I don't want to go to see Xia Luo's son, he can go to the Ainuma Temple another day."

Xia Luo, the younger brother of Kajia, the deputy head of Yanying, was Li Chen's senior in Pesa back then.He was abused once by the former "lone wolf" during Shuguang's trip to Samir. Li Chen was the only one he brought with him when he escaped from the "lone wolf". Since then, his temper has become mean and mean. Yin and Yang strange.But everyone in Yanying thinks that he learned it from his own brother Kaga.

Saenz knew about Xia Luo, but he didn't pay much attention. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Xia Luo has a son? Why don't I know when he got married?"

"He seems to have been tricked by a nightingale, and he came to the door with the ball." Li Chen replied, "If you think about it, it should be the full moon soon... I just found out that Kajia, the younger brother, hid the news too much. died."

"Nightingale's child?" Saenz's tone was flat, "Don't be tricked, right? Besides, how can Xia Luo be sure that it is his child?"

"So, he's been 'successful'." Li Chen smiled mockingly, "As for whether it's his child or not, it's just a matter of raising his child. A piece of blank paper, you can draw whatever you want. Not an adult decision?"

Saenz sort of got it.Yan Ying said that he asked Li Chen to visit Xia Luo's son, but in fact he probably wanted him to see if there was any conspiracy here.Although Li Chen is still a black swan now, he is basically the same as Saenz's special envoy. He has been to the "scene", whether it is to deal with it or report to Saenz, it is more convenient.

"Then go ahead, any full moon gift you want to give will also be counted as my share." Saenz said, "Just one point, whether that nightingale acted out of his own will or not, in the end..."

"I can't keep it, I know." Li Chen nodded, "Kaga also has the same idea, but I need to see it first, so I keep her for the reason of taking care of her."

"Sean is too busy now, so he may not be able to help you. If the black swan can't find out, you can tell me." Saenz smiled, "It's a pity that Seryozha has been called back, otherwise He can handle it easily."

"Dear Your Highness, you told Xiao En not to rely too much on Sergey, or you would fire her." Li Chen snorted, "What? Play fishing with me to enforce the law?"

"You are not mine, how can I enforce the law against you?" Saenz laughed, "Let's go, black swan, go early and return early."

The north-central part of January is still full of wind and snow, and the Yanying Station is still standing between the valleys, like a steel fortress that cannot fall down.

It was Fudexi who arrived at Yanying with Lichen.He is an old friend of Yan Ying. This time, by leading a team to protect Li Chen, he also visited his old club during the New Year.

They first met Rock Eagle's leader Otar and deputy leader Kaga, and then under the leadership of Kaga, they went to see Xia Luo and his son.

As soon as the door of the room was opened, the cry of the baby resounded in everyone's ears.Li Chen peeped out from behind Kajia, and saw that Xia Luo was standing by the bed with a sullen face, and a woman who seemed to be very experienced was sitting by the bed, gesturing something with her hands.There was a "bump" of half-wrapped, moving creatures on the bed, and the crying sound came from there.

When Xia Luo turned his head, he happened to meet Li Chen's eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "You're here."

"Oh, it's really hard to see you so helpless in recent years." Li Chen smiled and walked in with Kajia, "He is your own son, do you really look like you are facing a big enemy?"

Xia Luo replied blankly: "I can't handle it."

Well, I'm afraid this guy has conspiracy theories entrenched in his heart, and he doesn't feel like a new father at all.Li Chen rolled his eyes with great interest, while Ka Jia asked, "Why is he crying all the time?"

"It's urinating, just change the pants." The woman skillfully changed the baby's wet pants, unpacking the swaddling clothes very quickly, and she coaxed, "Our little baby just feels the buttocks are wet." It’s wet and uncomfortable, isn’t it? It’ll be fine if you change it, and you won’t cry right away…”

The woman gently coaxed the baby, and the four useless men looked at each other for a while, winked at each other, and walked out.

They entered a small drawing room next door.

"I still suggest sending this child home." Xia Luo first said to Kaga, "Anyway, father and mother have been talking about our marriage all day long. Give them a child, and they can shut up, right? .”

Li Chen walked to a low cabinet, reached out to pick up the music box on top, opened it and looked at it: "Are you sure? You don't know what will happen after you send it away. It's not so easy to get it back when you grow up." thing."

"Anyway, I don't need him to do anything..." Xia Luo picked up a chair, sat down and said, "It's that Nightingale, what should I do?"

"How did you plan to deal with it?" Li Chen asked back without looking back, twisting the music box's clockwork in his hand.Swish, turn, turn, turn.

"It is still under house arrest, but if you ask her what is the key, you will either talk about him, or avoid answering." Kajia replied, "If you have no other opinions after reading it, I will prepare for the interrogation... "

thump!thump, thump, thump...

The music box suddenly rang, interrupting Kajia's words.Li Chen coughed, put it back on the low cabinet, and walked towards the three men who had already sat down.

"Is it appropriate to interrogate her?" There was an empty chair on Kajia's right, and Li Chen sat there. "It is said that she is just an ordinary person without talent? I'm afraid it won't last a few rounds."

"That depends on how tenacious her vitality is." Kajia replied, "If you toast, you don't eat fine wine."

This statement clearly means that it is not hesitating to let the other party die in torture.Li Chen smiled, turned his head and asked Xia Luo: "You have no objection?"

"What advice do I have?" Xia Luo gave him an annoyed look, "She's plotting against me, so she should think about her end."

"He has a few dewy marriages with you, you are so unfeeling." Li Chen teased him, "Your son... don't care if he is your son or not, but it must be the flesh that fell from his body, you Just like this, let mother and child be separated for two days?"

"..." Xia Luo pondered for two seconds, then suddenly said, "No matter whose son he is, he is just a baby who can only cry now, as long as no one tells him, he won't know who his mother is... "

Xia Luo was chattering, and the music box suddenly stopped, causing Xia Luo to stop involuntarily.

"Are you saying so much because you are afraid that I will kill your son?" Li Chen said happily, "I can let Wiggins accept Farah's son and keep him under my nose. As for your son who is still drinking Is grandma's son going to attack? You just said that you sent him away because you didn't want to put him in these gossips, didn't you? To avoid getting killed... I didn't expect you to have a father's love. "

In Li Chen’s example, Farah, Brown, and Wiggins were all rumored to have died at the hands of the black swan. Thinking about it carefully, it is really not convincing at all.Li Chen seemed to think of this too, and said, "Okay, I don't have time to take care of your children's affairs. You can leave the fucking interrogation to me. If she doesn't want to talk, just pry her mouth open. "

"Pry it open? It's as if you can use words to order her." Kajia glanced at him, "But her attitude must be a contract with someone else, how could it be your turn to use words to her?" spirit?"

"Just wait and see." Li Chen shrugged, "By the way, prepare a few high-level magic crystals for me."

Li Chen can indeed pry people's mouths open, and even override other people's contracts to a certain extent.

In the Raetia League, which uses talent and strength to reason, such unreasonable things are generally forbidden.

Forbidden technique - field manipulation.

Li Chen only asked the baby's biological mother to be tied to a chair, and then he shunned everyone else, leaving only himself in the room with the woman.I have to say that he and Seryozha are still "in the same line of masters", and they both tie people to chairs to avoid trouble, which is a crude but effective method.

"What on earth do you want to do?" The woman frowned. "I gave birth to Xia Luo's son because I love him. Why do you doubt me so much?! I don't even have talent!"

Li Chen ignored her at all, but sprinkled some water on the ground, then took out a stack of papers and placed them on the ground one by one.Because of the effect of water droplets, these papers will not fly away easily.

The woman found that the papers were being assembled into a complete pattern, but the pattern was so complicated that she didn't recognize it at all: "What is this?"

Li Chen still ignored her, and he didn't stand up until he finished spelling out the figure.The fingertips moved, and the few high-level magic crystals that Kajia had just given him rolled down on the palm of his hand.

His lips began to open and close quickly and slightly, the silent spell was taking effect, and the brilliance of the magic crystal surged.

First, there is a spell that can borrow the power of the magic crystal without using your own power, and then——

The few people staying outside the room suddenly looked at the door of the room.

Only Xia Luo's expression was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"You don't have a source of magic power now, so you can't feel it." Kaga replied to his younger brother, but his eyes were locked on the door, his expression was solemn, "In this room, there suddenly appeared a heavy...or very Solid coercion."

Generally speaking, when the coercion does not fall on oneself, people's actions will not be affected.But because the coercion in the room was too heavy and obvious, a sense of life-threatening crisis swept Kajia's whole body.Not only him, everyone waiting here felt it, and maybe even the rock eagle mercenaries nearby could feel it.

It is human nature to be afraid of power far above oneself.

Xia Luo wondered: "That woman has no talent...so it's Lichen's strength? But where did he get such strength?"

Fudexi suddenly remembered a certain feeling described by the black swan captain Ogyseus.

"... how should I put it? It is a power, a power that is everywhere, that will make you live, that will make you die, that will deprive you of air, and control your thoughts. It seems to push your own consciousness into a corner. , let it control your body..."

... So, did Li Chen use that again?

When everyone was thinking about each other, the coercion suddenly disappeared, and everyone's hearts seemed to relax.

Li Chen opened the door, his face was a little pale, and his movements were a little slow, but overall he seemed to be fine.

Fudexi was the first to go up to him: "Why did you make yourself like this? For the sake of interrogating that woman..."

Li Chen smiled and said, "She's dead."

Everyone who didn't realize what it meant: "...Huh?"

"She said the purpose of doing this, her plan, and the person who directly ordered her..." Li Chen replied, "But when I asked her if she knew who was behind the person who ordered her, She suddenly lost her vitality."

Kajia stepped forward, frowned and said: "I'm afraid this is the effect of the contract. In order to prevent exposure, as long as the contractor tries to say his name, the contractor will die immediately."

This contract was very domineering, and what surprised Kajia even more was that the woman died, which meant that she really wanted to tell Li Chen that name.

She really knows everything about Li Chen!

Li Chen didn't care what Ka Jia thought, just sneered: "It doesn't matter if you die, I really know one who uses this method to restrict people."

It's just that when he encountered this kind of contract last time, Seryozha easily achieved a breakthrough.

This guy made himself look like Voldemort, which is really in style.
