Throne Steps

Saenz and Li Chen passed through one town after another, and they also strayed farther and farther away from the rich land of Redia.Gradually, they can no longer come day and night, and sometimes have to spend the night in the wilderness.

In the beginning, there will be a fixed overnight gathering point near the main road, and many mercenary regiments and caravans will gather here to spend the night together.At night, the torches were lit, and there were vigils in each mercenary regiment, so that the people gathered together would not be attacked by wild beasts that appeared at night.However, as the route of travel is getting closer to the national border, even such days will soon pass.

Finally, Lichen and Saenz arrived at the last town-level settlement before the border.

It is said to be at the town level, but in fact there is not even a dedicated commercial trading street here, and the size of the entire town may not be comparable to the size of a village-level land in the hinterland of Redia.But even so, Li Chen still purchased as many supplies as possible here.Because once you start from here and continue to go backwards, you will really enter the wilderness, and Li Chen is not sure that he can enter the next village as planned.

It is even unknown whether these small villages marked on the map still exist.

In addition, because Saenz is likely to lose contact with his subordinates for a period of time after this, Li Chen gave him a day to make arrangements based on "humanitarianism".

So in the daytime after almost a month of facing each other day and night, Li Chen and Saenz rarely act separately.Li Chen went to the street to buy supplies, and Saenz went to contact his underlings who didn't really exist.

As for the safety of Li Chen wandering around in the town, Saenz is still at ease.It's not because Li Chen sent Fang Jing, but because Saenz gave Li Chen another one of his hidden guards.

This is not the first time for this hidden guard to carry out the task of protecting Li Chen. After meeting with the black swan's dark guard, he should soon be able to cooperate tacitly.

Of course, the bright and dark guards can go to do things like shopping... Saenz said that Li Chen can do whatever he wants this time, and everything is arranged by him.

This arrangement included Saenz letting the guards, oh no, the mercenary friends form two other teams, hanging far behind himself and Li Chen during the subsequent journey.One of the teams will be no more than half a day away from Saenz, and the other will be no more than a day away from the previous one.This is because in the wild, the hidden guard may really lose track of the target. If something happens at this time and there is no one to support it, it will be troublesome.

As for the fact that the necromancer clearly wanted Li Chen to go alone, Saenz was here to oblige... Anyway, the letter was not written to Saenz, and this pure white man took advantage of the loopholes without any pressure.

Taking a step back, even if Li Chen really set out alone, no matter Saenz or Black Swan, it is impossible for him to really take the risk alone.Since the necromancer has "surveilled" Li Chen for so many years, he should be mentally prepared for this.

After Saenz had arranged for the entourage, a letter suddenly flew into the window of his room.

This is usually the news that came in after picking up the delivery bird nearby. Saenz walked over to pick it up without any surprise, and then walked back to the table while unpacking it.

However, after one glance, his eyes suddenly sharpened.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by a familiar voice: "It's me."

Saenz stood by the table holding the letter: "Come in."

It was Li Chen who opened the door and came in.He quickly closed the door behind his back, with a serious expression rarely seen recently: "The destination has been revealed!"

Saenz looked at him and raised the letter in his hand: "I know too."

Rewinding the time to two hours ago, Li Chen shuttled through the few shops in this small town.

To be honest, there are not many supplies in this place, and Li Chen actually doesn't need too many supplies.More often, he is researching novel things that he has never seen, or trying snacks that he has never eaten.

When he walked out of a small shop, he suddenly felt that a person passing by on the street looked familiar.This person was dressed similarly to the locals, and he didn't have any baggage or weapons on his body. He seemed to be a local resident living in the town.

But... who is it like?

Out of habit, Li Chen didn't rush forward to talk, but followed.This person's footsteps were not fast, Li Chen either fell slowly behind, or glanced sideways at him while observing the small items bought and sold on the street.He didn't change his speed after Li Chen quietly clung to him, and even stopped to buy some pastries, as if he didn't know that someone had already followed him.

In fact, Li Chen didn't want to do anything to him, but he felt too uncomfortable because he couldn't remember who it was. Li Chen wanted to see where he would go and who he would talk to.

The man turned into a lane.

Li Chen followed to the entrance of the trail and looked in. The man had gone to the end, turned left and disappeared.Li Chen hesitated for a second, then followed in.

On both sides of the path are the walls of the small building on the street, and then the wall of the backyard of the small building. When walking to the end, a narrower alley appeared.

Just as Li Chen was about to turn a corner, a large amount of white dust suddenly hit his face!

However, it is impossible for Li Chen who came to this kind of place to have no sense of fighting at all.He took a step back to hide on the other side of the wall, threw a frozen square crystal towards the wall, and shouted: "Stop him!"

Yes, don't think he really dares to play tracking alone.If he hadn't known that he was following someone, he wouldn't have committed suicide like this.

He also stepped back to the entrance of the alley, dabbed a bit of dust in the air with his hand, put it under his nose, sniffed it, and then simply licked it.

The black swan holding the assailant said helplessly: "Walk and eat randomly, how old are you?"

"It's so sweet...it's the kind of sweet powder that goes with pastries on the street." Li Chen clapped his hands, "Sure enough, I just bought this on the road, in fact, to attack me, right?"

The man caught by the black swan was actually quite calm, and sneered: "Attack you? With sweet powder? And if you weren't following me, why would I throw this at you?"

Li Chen approached him and looked at the other person's face carefully: "Strange, I must have seen this face before, why can't I remember..."

The man replied: "I haven't seen you, you probably have the wrong person."

With Li Chen's current face, not many people even recognize Black Swan's own people, so it's normal for men not to recognize him.However, he was suddenly followed by a stranger and detained again, and he was still so calm, Li Chen felt more and more that he must be not simple.

The man saw that he didn't speak, and said again: "Can you let me go? I have to go back to farm."

"No." Li Chen looked at him, "Unless you answer me a few questions. However, you have to answer me with negative answers to these few questions."

The man probably didn't expect what kind of routine this was, and raised his eyebrows: "Yes."

Li Chen then said, "Are you a man?"

"……no."

"You haven't left this town since you were born?"

"No."

"You know black swans?"

"No."

"...is there an acquaintance of yours in the black swan?"

"No."

"...you are a member of 'Lone Wolf'." Li Chen suddenly changed his affirmative sentence, "The fish that slipped through the net back then, huh?"

"Do not……"

"Hush, now is the last question." Li Chen interrupted him, "Do you 'know' Aideren and Xia Luo?"

The man stopped answering, but just looked at Li Chen quietly.

"Sure enough... no wonder I can't remember this face." Li Chen smiled slowly, "You know what? I have seen portraits of this face many times before, but at that time, they were not scratched, It's just being scratched."

At that time, Xia Luo even chopped the villain with the portrait into pieces one by one.

The man's face remained unchanged: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"It doesn't matter, you will know soon." Li Chen smiled slightly, "Believe me, falling into the hands of a black swan is not as easy as falling into the hands of a lone wolf."

The man finally changed his expression: "...the lackey of Eternal Color."

"To each other." Li Chen laughed, "When the 'Lone Wolf' killed Lawrence, he was just a domesticated dog."

Back then, the leader of the Lone Wolf actually hid his name in such a small border town.

Although Li Chen was arrested in the same group as Xia Luo back then, because of his plan to break away from the group, he had never met the leader himself.However, Xia Luo and this person have a deep hatred for some reason, and Li Chen has seen his portrait too many times, so he has an impression.

To be able to catch him like this, Li Chen really admires his luck and memory.

Li Chen didn't know what this person had been through these years, and he didn't have time to talk nonsense with him.But in view of his past identity, Li Chen directly used "domain control" on him for safety reasons.

So the former leader suddenly said something that Li Chen didn't expect.

The first important thing is that he witnessed the necromancer appearing in this town, and it was just recently.

Of course, the necromancer didn't show his identity in a big way, but after all, Lone Wolf had tracked down this mysterious figure for a long time in the past. Even if the former leader couldn't be sure it was him, he probably thought it was him.

Then the former leader of the so-called "big hermit" of the Lone Wolf wrote a letter describing what he saw, and sent it to the nearest intelligence team belonging to Fujalal.

So far, this letter has been sent for more than five days.

Li Chen knew that this was going to be bad, so he quickly confirmed a few issues that he was concerned about.

First of all, the former leader only saw the necromancer appearing here, which means that Xie Liaosha and Ai Deren didn't come—well, if Aideren came, Li Chen felt that the former leader might not be alive now.Secondly, the time he witnessed was six days ago, that is to say, the necromancer's destination should be the same as Li Chen's, but he had already advanced by at most six days.

In the end, Li Chen confirmed that the former leader had indeed lived like an ordinary person for decades, and he would write this letter just to make a fortune.In other words, he didn't write in detail in the letter. Even if Fujalal wanted to send someone, he would probably send an investigation team first.

But in any case, the possibility of exposing the destination is very high.

Li Chen ended the "field control".He spent a high-level magic crystal, but he plans to ask Saenz for reimbursement.

The weight on the shoulders of the former Lone Wolf leader was finally lifted, and he stared at Li Chen with stern eyes: "What was that just now?"

Li Chen glanced at him, did not answer, but directed to the black swan next to him.

"Find a way to give him to Xia Luo, and say it's my birthday present to him this year."
