Throne Steps

"For the future, don't worry about it."

"You think so, and he thinks so?" Bone Dragon said, "His contract is so domineering, and whenever there is any movement in mine, he will restrict me. It's not me, he thinks too much of himself. He really thinks he can Hitching a dragon can tie you?"

Li Chen replied: "What do you care about with him, he is younger than me!"

Yes, if the effect of Li Chen in "Wandering in Time" is also added, it is proper that he has been in this world longer than Saenz.Moreover, Li Chen is still a soul of two lifetimes, saying that Saenz is younger than himself, and there is no pressure.

"He is young, but the ratio of human beings is different from ours. It's like you are still a cub, but he is already an adult." Bone Dragon paused, and then said, "...I'll just say it's strange, you and His age is disproportionate! Don't you think that he will die earlier than you anyway, just for fun?"

"Your imagination is really rich. You have buried your talent after being buried underground for so long." Li Chen said angrily, "How can I play with him? But him."

"It's not that I can't beat it, so why bother?" Gu Long said indifferently, "But he is so powerful, so he is willing to let you muddle along like this? Then again, who can't beat you two together, why hesitate? ?”

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at it.

"What are you doing?" Bone Dragon said, "Although I can hardly be considered your elder, I have no intention of disturbing people's relationship. You look at your blood of a chicken with a combination of human and dragon, I don't even dislike it... It's him Your elders dislike you?"

"...Have you ever been annoyed by other people, or dragons, before?"

"Probably, anyway, they came to beat me when I talked too much, and in the end they always fought in groups, and I couldn't tell who hit whom." Bone Dragon commented, "I don't want to think that they are all boring, if I don't talk , how to communicate? Sign language?"

Li Chen said: "You should have your hands first, then you can talk about it."

"I think we're off topic again." Bone Dragon said, "You haven't answered me yet, why can't you make up your mind?"

"Are you giving me emotional counseling or pure gossip?" Li Chen continued to eat his barbecue, and after a while he said slowly, "Probably... because I'm cowardly."

"I've lived my whole life... Oh no, it's been two lifetimes now, and this is the first time I've heard a dragon say that I'm cowardly." Bone Dragon sighed, and asked again, "Why do you cowardly? Do you think you can't compare to him? ? Who can't beat it?"

Probably because the bone dragon was so bored that he panicked, and Li Chen was a dragon cub with a personality he had never seen before, so the bone dragon was very curious about him.

Li Chen gnawed on his barbecue: "Nothing can compare to it, and no one can beat it."

"Then what's the reason? Material conditions? Why don't you grab some magic crystal treasures and come back?"

"It's not material conditions... After all, don't you just think about getting rich by robbing all day long?"

"If you want a dragon not to go to Xiao Xiang's treasure, you will really embarrass the dragon." Bone Dragon said, "Then what difficulties and obstacles are there between you?"

The topic was diverted and brought back many times, Li Chen really admired the perseverance of this "elder".It seems that if he doesn't give a reasonable explanation today, the bone dragon will not put him down the mountain.

However, after much deliberation, Li Chen's own thoughts are not discussed by others.The bone dragon in front of him... Even if he can only talk nonsense, at least he can let Li Chen speak out to vent.

So Li Chen said directly: "I have something that I must do. But if I want to do it, I have to leave him forever."

"... Huh?" Bone Dragon was a little confused about this development, "What kind of development is this? Leave forever... Does it mean that we will never communicate with each other?"

"You should be."

"Then when are you going to do it?"

"Soon. Almost a blink of an eye in the age of a dragon."

"Out of a little caution... I'll insert a question." Bone Dragon asked, "When you leave him forever, will you also leave me forever?"

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at him: "Should... yes." He paused, and then said, "Okay, I should ask you, what are your plans. If you want to transfer the contract to someone else, you should continue Go back to sleep?"

If he disappears from this world, Li Chen is not sure what will happen to the bone dragon.Referring to the consequences if he dies, that is, either he handed over the contract to someone else before he died, or the bone dragon "died" again.

"You are amazing. I don't want to get to the bottom of it. Is it possible that you will just fall over one day?" The bone dragon flapped its wings dissatisfied, and the nearby trees were crushed by it. "No, you have to tell me the specific date. I."

Li Chen didn't hide much now: "Probably around this time next year...but you are not allowed to tell others!"

"My little brat, once you order me with this mouth, who can I talk to! And next year, this is really imminent!" The bone dragon screamed, and suddenly said in a strange tone, "You don't know Are you still planning to transfer the contract to that person?"

"...I didn't think so at first, but what you said seems good." Li Chen replied, "The parting gift is a dragon, at least it's not shabby, right?"

"Then he comes to torture me every day when he sees things and thinks about people, doesn't he? Why don't you just go to sleep." Bone Dragon asked, "Do you have to separate this matter? There is no other way? For example, you two negotiate who will follow whom. let's go..."

"It's as simple as this." Li Chen finished eating the barbecue and threw the iron sign aside. "If I want to do this, I have to leave. And in a few days, he will become the ruler of this country." The heaviest man... hardly ever."

"Can you speak more simply." Bone Dragon replied, "You must leave, and he must stay?"

Li Chen nodded.

"I don't think so." Bone Dragon said, "If you don't leave, will you die?"

"Death... maybe not." Li Chen smiled, "But I may never recover from this setback, life would be worse than death, or just go crazy..."

"Stop, stop, stop talking about your miserable situation so smoothly, okay?" Bone Dragon said, "Then can't he go with you?"

Li Chen laughed again: "It's almost what he's dreamed of all his life to get the position he is in now."

"How old is he, what about his life, can only be said to be what he asked for in the first half of his life." Bone Dragon actually saw it very clearly, "Don't worry about how you ask, will he follow you or not?"

"……I have no idea."

"I don't know? I don't know what the answer is!" Gu Long said dissatisfiedly, "Don't you both discuss this issue? Sit down and have an open and honest talk, and ask each other if you would like to stay and if you would like to be with me. Go... or something?"

Li Chen didn't reply, but Gu Long realized that there was really no link between them!

"Hey, I said you two, it's funny." Bone Dragon said in surprise, "Don't discuss the future at all, just hang around like this? I don't think he is such a person!"

Neither am I, I just have to.Li Chen wiped his face and sighed, "I... can't ask."

"Are you talking about this for a long time? Don't dare to ask a word?!" Bone Dragon sighed, "If this was my era, you coward would be beaten to death by other dragons."

Li Chen went back and slept on the grass, covering his eyes with his arms: "Just treat me as a coward."

"The question is what are you afraid of? Even if he doesn't agree, it's a certainty anyway."

"I'm not afraid that he won't agree..." Li Chen sighed, and finally said it out, "On the contrary, I was afraid that he would agree to me."

"...You make me really want to break your brain and study it." Bone Dragon wondered, "If he agrees to you, won't everyone be happy? Why are you afraid? What is the fear? Tell me to open my eyes. "

Li Chen sighed again, and then replied: "...I'm afraid of breaking up."

The bone dragon stretched out its claws, lifted his arm covering his face, and stared at him with two big black holes: "It's very common for lovers to be afraid of breaking up, but you can't give up eating because of choking, right? You don't even have to ask Don't say it! And you suddenly come up with such a normal reason, I feel that I was surprised in vain before."

"It's a very normal reason." Li Chen was still paralyzed on the ground, "I'm afraid of breaking up, afraid that he will regret it, afraid that he will suddenly feel that it is not worth giving up these powers, money, and status for me, and afraid that I will always be trembling after being put on the scale. ..."

The bone dragon was dissatisfied and said: "Are you reading poetry?"

Li Chen sat up and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Am I worthy of him doing this? I doubt it myself. If he really did this, I might be tied up instead, and feel that I can't bear this kind of kindness every now and then." I'm afraid that even if he doesn't love him anymore, he won't let him go, let me go, and his relationship will become a debt that needs to be repaid and will never be repaid..."

"Stop, stop, stop talking." Bone Dragon interrupted him, "This is a fart of kindness, it's his own decision, and it's not something he can repay with kindness. And why don't you have a word yet?" I think so much, and I have more imagination than me. Don’t human beings often say? Feelings are something you can’t control. You who are looking forward and backward, haven’t you come to this point? I see you in this broken state , I have been hiding before, but I can't suppress my feelings, so now I just let it go?"

Li Chen smiled wryly: "It's absolutely correct."

"That's right, living for thousands of years is not in vain." Bone Dragon smugly said, "I said, you are leaving anyway, and you won't die if you ask, right? No matter what the result is, at least you don't want to die." I'm sorry."

He paused, and then continued: "Look, the dragon clan is basically extinct, but you are actually left with a bastard, a half-human-dragon bastard. Is it easy for people and dragons to be together? Isn't it the birth of you?" Come down, you haven’t grown up yet. No matter how difficult and dangerous your parents were before, how many fools lie in front of you, your existence means that they have succeeded.”

Li Chen smiled: "Is it difficult for people and dragons to be together?"

"Anyway, it's not easy. But according to the dragon's temper, it's easier than being with elves, right?" Bone Dragon said, "Don't you have a half-elf friend? Could it be that his parents are going well?"

Of course not, not only was it not going well, it could even be said to be very abusive.Once separated, the joy of being together seems to have become a mirror image, and no matter how hard you try, you can't get it back.

But if you think about it carefully, now, decades later, their hard work seems to have suddenly turned into a cloud.

At least Furdhi was born with the efforts of his mother, and was found by the elves to break the "curse" with the efforts of his father.

Well... Li Chen covered his face, he couldn't tell whether he wanted to laugh or cry: From this point of view, I am not as brave as an ordinary, delicate and pure human girl.

What beliefs did she hold when Fordhi's father left?

The girl stood alone in front of the window, looking into the distance, thinking silently: Please come back...?

Bone Dragon was still saying: "I think this matter, don't think about it too much, just go up and ask a question with a vigorous belief. No matter whether there is an answer or not, what answer is there..."

"I almost never fight unprepared battles, and I don't do unplanned things." Li Chen said, "If I can't predict the outcome, I won't make a move easily; if I can't guess the opponent's card, I won't make a bet. The bet..."

The bone dragon said angrily: "Why didn't you circle yourself to death?"

"It seems that I have to find a way to muster up the courage to take a gamble."

"Ok?"

Li Chen smiled, stood up and stretched, then turned to look at Gulong.

"Just take a gamble...what will happen tomorrow."
