Throne Steps

The members of the mobile troupe noticed that the atmosphere between Sal and Ruisen had changed again.

How should I put it... It seems that the stagnant feeling between them suddenly disappeared, replaced by an indescribable and silent understanding.Most notably, Thrall's smile returned.

No, it's not coming back, it should be a real smile.

Only then did the girls realize that the man's previous smiles and concerns were just out of politeness, only when he looked at his companion, his eyes revealed a kind of concern from the heart.

It seems that the other party has tied a thread to him, pulling his sight, guiding his hands and feet, so that he will naturally follow the other party with his eyes, and naturally approach the other party.

Even if the other person is looking at someone else.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Li Chen looked at the troubadour with disgust, "Didn't I tell you to be more direct?"

"It's...it's you..." The troubadour touched his thumbs lightly together, winked and asked in a low voice, "Again?"

Li Chen raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that when I snatched the ring that day, you didn't have a good sense of my fist?"

"We're about to part, just tell me." The troubadour said cheerfully, "If you tell me the result, I'll let you beat me up again, how about it?"

"It's not good. Go away, don't get in the way here." Li Chen waved away, "You have this spare time, why don't you go and help."

"Okay, the last sentence, just the last sentence." The troubadour put up a finger, leaned next to Li Chen and lowered his voice, "I can see that he is serious about you, don't play tricks."

After he finished speaking, he slipped away, as if he was afraid that Li Chen would really punch him, and when passing by Saenz who was walking towards him, he even patted him on the shoulder.

So Saenz came over with a puzzled expression: "What happened to him?"

Li Chen continued to set up the tent and replied without turning his head: "He warned me not to deceive your feelings."

This time it was Saenz's turn: "Then did you lie?"

"I said I lied, what can you do?" Li Chen pointed to the other side of the tent, "Give me a hand."

So Saenz went over to help, and while setting up the tent with Li Chen, he replied: "Then I have no choice but to admit that I am unlucky, who will let me be fooled willingly?"

"..." Li Chen finally stopped what he was doing a little bit unbearably, and made a pause gesture, "Can you stop this expression all day? My goosebumps are about to fall off. It's because of you That way, that guy who loves gossip more than poetry can bother me all day."

"No." Saenz moved towards Li Chen while tidying up the tent, "No one here knows who we are, why should I restrain myself at this time and in this kind of place?"

"...I think you seem to have misunderstood my behavior." Li Chen sighed lightly, wiped his face and said, "I just..."

"Just muddling along like this first?" Saenz walked behind him, patted him on the back, and went to the other side to tidy up the tent, "I know, no misunderstanding, I understand that you haven't made a decision yet."

Li Chen raked his hair: "...Actually, this is really unfair to you."

Maybe it was because Saenz was really pushing too hard and too close, which made the inevitable Li Chen give up struggling; or maybe it was because the words of refusal failed again and again, and Li Chen, who had nowhere to escape, started to break the can Broken.He thought: Forget it, don't think about what will happen in the end, just live a day like this.

Thinking about the good, even if it can't last forever, at least you have it once, isn't it?

So Li Chen suddenly didn't resist Saenz, and instead began to enjoy the fun of getting along with them, quite like a person who failed to lose weight and began to binge eat sweets.But getting along too well has some side effects, such as the unstoppable gossip in the mobile theater troupe, and Li Chen starting to think about whether he has gone from one extreme to another.

"There is no fairness or unfairness in this matter." It was hard for Li Chen to let go of his defenses, but Saenz didn't want him to start worrying again, "As long as you are willing to start trying, it's fine."

Even though the distance between the two was only two steps away, Saenz still didn't feel close enough.He stood up, walked up to Li Chen, looked down at him deeply.

"I'm happy with where we are now."

Li Chen slowly turned his face away: "...I see."

"It's good to know." Saenz laughed, couldn't hold it back for a while, and squeezed Li Chen's red ears.

"...!" Li Chen covered his ears and took a step back.

"Are you all right?" Saenz said cheerfully, "Just work if you have nothing to do, do you want to set up the tent?"

Li Chen glared at him, but this glance also turned into anger in Saenz's eyes: "I found that it's not good to be looked at by you. Anyway, I have a lot of work, and even a lot more."

For example, after the last women's dress, Li Chen had to recite "Dragon Language Dictionary"!

"Who made the person I'm looking at so capable?" Saenz said cheerfully, "It's hard work for the capable."

"You're right." Li Chen raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the tent in front of him, "I think the ones are more capable, so work harder, those who are capable."

After all, he turned and left.

Saenz laughed out loud, but still squatted there, fixing the tent by himself.

After another two days, Saenz and Li Chen finally had to part with the Mobile Theater Troupe.

Jasmine approached Li Chen: "Can I hug Sal?"

Li Chen raised his hand dumbfounded: "Please."

So Jasmine jumped on Saenz, much more unrestrained than the girls who hugged Saenz in the past few decades, and Li Chen was once again entangled by the troubadour.

The troubadour asked, "Can I write a poem about your story?"

Li Chen said with distaste as always: "I can't."

The troubadour asked again: "Then can I use it to write story books?"

"No, I advise you to quit the literary circle directly." Li Chen said angrily, "If you want me to know that you have done this, I will definitely take your skin off."

The troubadour exclaimed: "'Skin off'! This metaphor is so vivid!"

Li Chen: "..."

In the end, the head of the group said goodbye to the two: "Goodbye, I wish you a safe journey, and see you again."

The two nodded: "See you by fate."

The green mountains remain unchanged, and the green water flows forever. There will be a period later.

After leaving the mobile troupe for half a day, a team of Saenz appeared in the field of vision of the two of them. It was Saenz who had arranged to pick up people nearby.As soon as the two sides met, the team leader immediately reported some recent events to Saenz.

First, the teams that Saenz had deliberately arranged to distract others were attacked, and two of the teams suffered particularly tragic battles, resulting in the serious consequences of three deaths and five injuries to varying degrees;

Second, people from Fujalal and the royal family really rushed over, and some other forces who heard the news were also involved. Although it is very likely that these people attacked Saenz's team, there is no definite evidence yet ;

Third, the whereabouts of the Necromancer were also found.

"Found it?" The news came suddenly and without effort, Li Chen was a little surprised, "Where is he?"

"It's at the previously determined destination." The team leader replied, "There is a big lake there, and the diameter of the lake may be nearly a thousand meters. There is a small island in the middle of the lake, or it is more accurate to say that it is a mooring. There is a person on the mooring. Shadow, it should be him."

"Lake...?" Li Chen took out the map, unfolded it and searched carefully, then raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that our news has lagged too far, and we don't even know when there was such a big lake there. "

"This is the edge of the swamp, closer to the wilderness. If the water level of the groundwater changes, it may indeed rise in unexpected places." Saenz also looked at the map, "However, this lake should not be an accident this time."

Li Chen asked again: "Where are the people who arrived at the scene now? Are they stationed by the lake?"

The team leader nodded: "Well, there are several groups of people separated by the lake, and there are hundreds of people in total. Because there is no movement, and there is not much movement on the lake in the middle of the lake, so now they are just on guard against each other. , observe each other."

"Has anyone else approached that mooring?" Saenz asked.

"There is an undercurrent under the water. Those of us who are the best at water have gone down several times, but it is difficult to go up by a single person. Because it is not easy to make too much noise, I haven't tried many people going into the water at the same time." The team leader He replied, "It's the same with the other groups. No one really came close."

Li Chen interjected, "Are there any floating objects like boats in your rings?"

"Yes, but I don't dare to be the first one to stand out now." The captain replied, "Compared with the other groups, our number is much smaller, and it seems that the royal family sent troops, although they In civilian clothes."

Li Chen asked again: "What is he doing up there?"

"I don't know." The team leader shook his head. "Actually, we can't see who it is at all. We just guess that he is a necromancer."

Li Chen and Saenz looked at each other: "...Ninety-nine percent of it is him."

The necromancer actually appeared in the eyes of the world so loudly, Li Chen really didn't know what he was planning.But to be honest, if his previous guess is true, it may not be a bad thing that Saenz called less people now.

"In short, let's go there and have a look first." Saenz obviously thought of this, and said, "but it's best not to get too close to the lake... Our people have to retreat a little bit."

"Ah?" The team leader didn't expect that when he met his boss, the order he got was not to go forward to the island, but to stay away from the lake.

"Really stay away." Li Chen echoed, "They are not moving now, don't they just want to see how the necromancer finds the dragon? Be careful if the dragon is found, they will not be able to escape."

Captain: "Huh??"

Li Chen smiled at him: "Don't 'ah', listen to your highness, you are right. And landing on the island is not a big problem."

Captain: "Huh???"

Li Chen Zhile: Stupid, I am the one who can teleport to the island at a fixed point.
