Throne Steps

Two plain-looking mercenaries walked in the market in the capital, like any other mercenaries.

"Try this." The taller mercenary picked up a fruit from a roadside stall and threw it to the person next to him. "This is unique to this area. I think you have eaten it... but it is near the capital. The ones are usually very sweet."

The one who received the fruit rubbed the fruit on his body casually, thought for a while, and handed it to the tall man.

The tall man smiled: "I don't..."

"I didn't let you eat it." The short man twitched the corner of his mouth, "Do you know that when your people hand me fruit, they will consciously use light magic to go through it?"

The tall man coughed and had no choice but to raise his hand to pass the light magic to him.

The short man withdrew his hand and walked away while nibbling on the fruit.

The tall man paid the money reluctantly, and then followed in the footsteps of the other party.His long black hair was bundled behind his head, swaying gently as he walked.

The stall owner who just sold a fruit will never know that just now, he made a small deal with the new owner of the pure white color who will take office in more than a year.

Saenz caught up with Lichen.

"Stay in the capital tonight?"

Li Chen glanced at Saenz, chewed the flesh in his mouth slowly, swallowed it, and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry." Saenz shrugged, "Of course, I was a little anxious before I caught you."

Li Chen sneered: "Why, if you delay your patriarchal ceremony, you will lock me up in the capital of the temple, right?"

Saenz sighed: "I have already taken the task with you, can't I still express my decision?"

"Stop, I didn't pick it up with you, I picked it up separately. Separate, don't you understand?" Li Chen threw the fruit core in his hand, "Besides, I can't bear the responsibility of dragging the Patriarch from not attending the ceremony."

"The master came and the master went, do you still know that this is on the street?" Saenz said helplessly, "You are careful to change this face for nothing."

"Really?" Li Chen suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes fixed on him.Saenz didn't know which sentence ignited this awkward firecracker, and he was stunned for a moment: "...what?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows: "Do you dare to say that you haven't set the sound barrier?"

Saenz choked on him: "Well, I dare not say that." Because he did.

Li Chen sneered, took the lead again, and strode forward.

Saenz shook his head helplessly again: "But I didn't cast such a big enchantment... Slow down!"

It is not surprising that Saenz can accurately lock himself.

On the one hand, there is a contract between the two of them, and it is difficult to fly at the ends of the earth; on the other hand, the royal family's mercenary mission this time is a personal seven-star mercenary, and it happens that Li Chen is struggling to find a way to become a nine-star mercenary. Of course Erns could guess that he would not miss this opportunity.

More importantly, although Saenz has more information about the "dragon" than Fugeral, he wants to get a closer look when he cannot directly ask the necromancer and Seryozha is not there. News, only rely on Li Chen and Menzel.

In other words, if Saenz wanted to find the real target from those locations, he could only ask Lichen and Menzel.

Saenz originally thought that if Li Chen really knew something, it would be okay to arrange a team to take him on an expedition.After all, Saenz prevented Li Chen from completing the five-star mission last time, if he is not allowed to go this time, I am afraid he will explode in anger.

It's just that Saenz never expected that Li Chen would set off alone.

Fudexi personally went to the black swan to pick someone who would secretly protect Lichen, but the person Saenz buried inside was rejected, so he had to tell Saenz quickly.

Saenz was taken aback! The "Dragon Hunting Mission" is not just for fun, not to mention that the current suspected locations are places full of dangers, just talking about the news leaked now, any team that goes out to search for the dragon may be followed and attacked by all parties. snipe.What's more, Saenz is considered by all parties as "the person who has the news". As his sharp sword, the black swan is definitely stared at by many people.Although Li Chen was going on the road alone, who knows how many tails followed him? !

Saenz didn't know what kind of medicine Li Chen was selling in this gourd, so after thinking about it, he decided to follow him alone first, and then play it by ear.

Of course, it is also a secret how many hidden guards this quasi-patriarch has followed.

"Tell me the truth." Saenz tapped his knuckles on the table, "Why did he come out alone? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Li Chen looked at Saenz who automatically followed back to his room, feeling a little helpless.What can I do, a war of words cannot be won, and it is even more impossible to win it with force, so let's just stick to it honestly.

Instead of wasting effort in competing with him, it would be better to use him to make yourself better off.

Therefore, Li Chen took out the letter written by Sergey Sha: "Do you think I am willing to come out alone?"

Anyway, even if the necromancer monitored this scene, he would have a reason to refute - if you can beat pure white, then go for it.

Saenz glanced at the letter: "...So, it is possible to see him this time?"

"Who knows?" Li Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at his ankles, "I hope so."

Otherwise, the circle on the feet is really an unsolvable problem.

Li Chen said again: "However, if you insist on following up, it's not that I want to break the contract."

"Don't worry, Pure White and him... can still have a few words." Saenz handed the letter back to Li Chen, "Besides, I want to follow, what can you do with me?"

Li Chen knew that he had this attitude, so he didn't bother to play tricks with him, so he took out the map and said, "Depart tomorrow morning, head here."

Saenz looked at the map, raised his eyebrows and asked, "The southern swamp?"

"Yes, the miasma is very heavy." Li Chen put away the map and said, "That's why I asked you to buy so many herbs to get rid of the miasma today. Otherwise, what do you think I am doing? So how much energy can a few herbs consume?"

Saenz smiled when he heard the words, spread his hands, and two things appeared out of nowhere on his palm: "Since you said so, why don't we share it equally? Anyway, we bought so much."

Li Chen stared at the two women's sachets with bold colors and avant-garde designs in his hand, and twitched the corners of his mouth: "...No need, I've already prepared them."

Although it was something I used to disgust Saenz, but I still find it hard to look at it at a second glance. The aesthetics of the people of the capital...is really a strange idea.

Why didn't Saenz know that Li Chen did it on purpose?He didn't do it once or twice.But he is used to venting his anger like this, and the pure white color has always followed him. At most, Saenz didn't wear it in the end.

So Saenz put away the sachet: "Coincidentally, I have already prepared it." Even if I don't have it now, someone will deliver it when I wake up tomorrow morning.

Li Chen curled his lips, of course he knew that such a trivial matter could not be plotted against Saenz.However, things that should be made clear still need to be made clear.

"Let's say it first, follow my command this time. Even if you don't listen, I won't listen to you." Li Chen paused, "...except when fighting."

When you are dying, you should obediently hide behind the strong to enjoy the cool.

Saen Sizhi looked at him from the table and smiled slightly: "Yes. I will follow your orders, Captain."

Li Chen retorted: "Wait, we are not a small team."

Saenz shrugged: "Listen to you."

"Then..." Li Chen raised his hand suddenly, pointing in the direction of the door, "Please go back to your room immediately."

Although Li Chen was not considered a strong mercenary, it was no problem for him to travel long distances.

In the first half of the journey, Li Chen and Saen Si basically walked through various towns.Lease horses during the day and stay in various small hotels at night.Although Li Chen asked Saenz to listen to him before, he couldn't really be completely self-centered, after all, he was not followed by some casual ordinary people, but the quasi-patriarch of pure white color.If this person was really allowed to completely let go of the pure white color for a long time, maybe one day the patriarch's appointment order will be revoked without knowing it.

Even if Li Chen could slay the dragon, he wouldn't be able to reach the top of the temple.

So from time to time, there would be letters rushing from nearby towns to Saenz, and after the reply, just throw it on the table and someone would pick it up.And because Saenz enjoys Li Chen's quiet thoughtfulness, sometimes he will deliberately tell him something during the meal, and then reply with reference to his opinion.

Halfway through the itinerary, Li Chen finally quit.

"Your Highness, either you don't follow me, or don't ask me about you all day long!" Li Chen threw away the letter that Saenz handed over, "I came out to hunt for dragons, not to be your secretary. I The daily schedule schedule is enough for you to deal with, don't bother me any more."

When there are only two people present, especially when the two travel in different identities, Li Chen basically does not call Saenz "His Royal Highness".If he suddenly uses this class title at this time, it means that he really has a lot of opinions on Saenz.

"Cough, okay." Saenz also felt that he seemed a little too funny, and took back the letter, "I just thought you might pay attention to the actions of the Patriarch, and it's not bad just to have fun."

"I've already given you all his black material. Black Swan has done his best." Li Chen glanced at him, "And, if you can take off the crown you got, then you are really capable."

Saenz smiled: "Well, you are right, I should have some confidence."

"I'm not talking about confidence..." Li Chen was hooked by him, and suddenly thought of a topic that hadn't been discussed much, "I said, don't you often go out? Those capable people under you should be leaving you You can hold on for a while even under the circumstances, right?"

"Theoretically, it's possible." Saenz chuckled, "but it's an extraordinary time... so I'd better keep an eye on it."

"I suddenly felt the pressure." Li Chen's face changed as soon as he said it, "Maybe it's better for you to go back..."

"Stop, okay, I get it." Saenz interrupted him, raising his hands in surrender, "I'll try to minimize contact and cut it off as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your cooperation, Your Highness." Li Chen said coolly, "I hope you still remember that we are traveling in secret this time."
