Throne Steps

Li Chen successfully tricked Saenz with a small trick.Even though he only took a sip of the "sweet and greasy" afternoon tea, Saenz still asked the housekeeper to replace the whole set of utensils, and even the new tea was changed, which shows the tricks of pure white against black swans fear.

But as soon as Saenz tasted the sweetness, he realized that he had actually cheated himself.Skills are not as good as people, and there is no temper.

Li Chen took the opportunity to lobby his own boss: It's such a trick anyway, it's good if it succeeds, and it doesn't hurt if it doesn't.Precisely because Fujalal was about to deal with big things, he probably couldn't spare his hands to take care of these small troubles.In case it really can cause trouble for him, why not do it?

Saenz was disgusted by his bluffing and deceitful expression. After Li Chen repeatedly promised that he would not lose the intelligence tracking team, he could only temporarily agree.Of course, this is entirely based on the premise that Lichen's IQ, EQ and environmental equipment are all obvious to all.If it was Wiggins who came to say that he could contribute to Suo Yang's affairs, Saenz would listen to his flicks.

In one afternoon, Li Chen and his family leader explained the reasons, process and current results of his escape in the past few months, and he felt very comfortable and relaxed.As the leader gave him face, Li Chen also reversed his previous tweaks and agreed to sort out the materials of "Wandering in Time".Anyway, he can only mark the spells in the common language of Rhaetian. Even if he tries his best to find similarities, there are still inevitable differences in pronunciation.

As for what Saenz is going to use this for, Li Chen thinks he doesn't care and doesn't care.If the third highness of the pure white color dares to use it, he dares to give it.Saenz uses these secret techniques that are very easy to spy on other people's taboos, and Li Chen uses this to slowly "reveal" his own secrets. Who says they can't use each other?

After all, even if Li Chen's fake Necromancer—even though Li Chen himself still believes that these are alchemist's skills—is exposed, Saenz can never say that he has no knowledge, let alone "" betray".

At dusk, the butler came to inquire about the location of dinner, and "by the way" conveyed Wiggins' wish to have dinner together.

"Then let's go." Saenz replied very casually, "Look at what he has worked hard for this meal."

This was said to Li Chen with his head turned.Li Chen originally just stood up, but was taken aback when he heard this: "...I'm going too?"

Saenz also paused: "Aren't you going?"

"It's just that I seldom eat with him." Li Chen smiled, "But now, of course everything is up to your wishes."

Saenz sneered: "Dining with me because of duty, isn't it?"

"Of course it's much bigger than this!" Li Chen immediately said with a stick when he heard the leader's play, "You left him for an afternoon, and now you still take me to the table—I don't even know what expression to show off!"

What Li Chen is not clear about is that even if Saenz only has Wiggins with him, it is common for the little prophet to be left behind.Now that Saenz is still taking Li Chen to the restaurant together, Wiggins must think that Saenz left himself for the sake of the "black swan".

In the eyes of Saenz and Li Chen, Wiggins is already a dead wood.What is his mood, why bother?

The pure white ceremonial guard was so huge that it didn't make Wiggins waste his brains to prepare Saenz's food.Li Chen was still thinking about what other tricks this person could come up with, but he was brought to the open circular corridor in the atrium.

In the early summer breeze, turn around the courtyard.The starry night is clear, with cicada wings and thin clouds, all of which are enclosed in the round frame constructed by the corridor, just like a picture framed by a picture frame.Under the bright sky, the fountain of the courtyard eyes is endless, reflecting the crystal lights in the corridor, and the water drops are lightly splashed and crystal clear.

On one side of the corridor, there is a long table on the wide aisle, with tableware, mounting, etc., and a small palm-sized pumpkin hollowed out as a candlestick is ingenious.Near the long table, Ye Lian, the chief female officer of the temple, and Khorkina, the female officer of the "Black Swan", stood slightly sideways, one behind the other, and two steps forward was Saenz's usual chestnut-haired oval face.The costumes of the three female officials are roughly the same, except that the white skirt with chestnut hair and oval face is decorated with gold flower prints, and Khorkina's is folded with black feathers.Ye Lian's gown also has gold trim, but it has no pattern, and the gold trim is narrower than the skirt made by Saenz's female officials.Although they served different objects, the three female officials showed a uniform and high-standard appearance almost at the same time.Looking at them alone, it is difficult to distinguish the level of the corresponding responsibility object.

Going forward with chestnut hair and oval face, there are Wiggins and Noah who greet Saenz.Wiggins had been notified, so he was not too surprised that Lichen would appear behind Saenz.The young director of the temple was only a little surprised by Li Chen's black clothes, but he didn't say anything after all. He simply expressed his joy at Saenz's arrival and asked Saenz to let Noah join the dinner.

It stands to reason that Wiggins has never seen this black-based uniform, and he should be more concerned when he suddenly sees it popping out of the white - besides, he always likes to be surprised by "black swans" At first glance.Right now, the chief executive is so restrained, he looks away as soon as he meets each other, Li Chen has to be a little surprised by his performance.

"Because it's a good time to watch the night in the mountains, I decided to arrange tonight's meal here. But it's a bit troublesome to do so. I only dare to organize it in such a small way once, and I won't dare to do it in the future." Wiggins led Saenz to the seat and said, "I hope you don't mind, okay?"

Tsk, listen to this saying that retreat is advance.Because he was not introduced, Li Chen had no choice but to stand with Noah, his eyes fell on the distribution table and the surrounding pumpkin lanterns.The pumpkin is not only hollowed out, but the wall of the pumpkin is also cut very thin; the hollowed out pattern abandons the luxurious style favored by the nobles of Rettia, and is uncharacteristically simple, more simple and lovely.Even Li Chen admits that this uniqueness has played a positive role.Wiggins... I haven't seen you for a few days, so I've improved so much?

On the other side, Saenz did not go to the other side of the table, but insisted on sitting in the middle of the table.Of course Wiggins understands that the main seat is the proper seat for Saenz, but Saenz said that they are all his own people and don’t be cautious-the middle side of the side is facing the fountain, and it is also the best place to watch the night-Wiggins persuaded him In two sentences, we had to compromise.

Without waiting for Wiggins to look at her, Ye Lian went straight to the main seat to change the chair. Saenz raised his hand again and said no.Li Chen watched helplessly as his boss sat on the original chair in the middle, feeling helpless for a moment.

Wiggins did not arrange a big scene in the first place. The table used the size of the main seat at both ends and the three seats on the side.Since there are no people sitting on the side facing the atrium, the remaining five seats are just right.Whether Wiggins wants to sit opposite Saenz as the head of the temple, or sit next to Pure White to show his intimacy, the remaining two seats can be arranged for Li Chen and Noah.But now that Saenz is sitting like this, Wiggins is a little at a loss.

Of course, Wiggins is seated next to Saenz, but after all, Noah and Li Chen can't take the lead!

Maybe Noah can find a way, but Wiggins is too close to Saenz to cheat, and everything depends on himself.When the poor director of the temple was secretly anxious, Li Chen lowered his eyes and smiled.This kind of performance can make people guess that the brilliant idea is not his own achievement.So, relying on the mountain to fall, relying on everyone to run, you have to do it yourself to have enough food and clothing.

Li Chen still wanted to wait and see what good solution Wiggins could come up with after the embarrassment was over, but Saenz looked at himself first: "Still not sitting? How long do you want me to wait before eating?"

Pure White's tone was half joking, but it made people feel that he really intended to be casual.But Li Chen has always been a good guesser - especially when it comes to his own leader - of course he can see that the leader is looking for fun.

Whether to make Wiggins worse or reverse the situation is all in Li Chen's mind.But he didn't intend to get into this mess, so he kicked the ball out straight away: "You can sit on the place I like, where should I sit?"

As soon as the words came out, the next person to answer the words would have to make a decision.Saenz has a high position and authority, so it's okay to point Li Chen to the corner of the table casually, but he just laughed and said nothing.As the organizer of this small banquet, Wiggins knew that no matter how dull he was, he couldn't stand in the cold at this moment.In addition, he was always a little apprehensive about the "tricks" of "Black Swan", so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept Li Chen's words.

"This person is facing the atrium, and you can enjoy the spring and stars as soon as you look up. I originally wanted to arrange myself to sit here quietly, but His Highness saw through." Wiggins originally planned to use the scene as a pretext, but who knew that As he spoke, he felt blessed, "Fortunately, there is more than one seat in this direction. Your Highness, I hope you didn't intend to monopolize this row?"

After the words fell, Wiggins even showed a playful smile that was different from his usual image.

Li Chen secretly commented: Everything in speech and demeanor is in place.On a deeper level, Saenz does not take the main seat, and Wiggins does not mention that he was originally going to sit at the other end of the table; even if everyone knows that Saenz will sit next to someone, Wiggins Si still described this situation in a tone of asking for opinions.

The only fly in the ointment is probably that this familiar tone is a bit aggressive.

These thoughts quickly circled in Li Chen's mind, and then he realized that he was thinking too much about such private matters.What he warned Amoya, the leader of the chamber of commerce a few days ago, was actually what Saenz reminded himself.He is naturally suspicious and over-thinking, and he needs to correct himself by reminding himself not to think too much.

Saenz's way of dealing with Wiggins was much simpler and rude. He neither answered Wiggins' wink nor mentioned some seating arrangements, but continued to signal Wiggins to do whatever he wanted.

With a wave of his hand, Wiggins gave Li Chen to Saenz's right hand.This seat was on the side of the original seat of Saenz, and beyond that was the empty main seat, with Saenz's chair on it - and everyone present tacitly stopped looking at that chair.As soon as Wiggins directed Noah to the seat on the other side of the table, he sat down on Saenz's left.

Noah naturally pulled out the chair by himself, and turned the chair to one side, so that it deviated from the direction facing the main seat.On the whole, Noah's way of sitting is a bit like helping Bu Cai's last seat, but it seems that he is more clever and decent.

Wiggins originally intended to use this meal to get back close to Saenz, but although Saenz was casual on the surface, Wiggins felt that he was a slap in the face.Therefore, even in the hands of pure white color, the young director of the temple did not dare to say too much.Apart from agreeing to go through the process of the "Fu Zhao Grace" launching ceremony for the last time on the second day, there is almost no gossip.

Li Chen can gossip.But he had been talking to Saenz all afternoon, and he didn't mean to steal the limelight at the moment, so he was quite quiet.

Originally, Saenz messed up the seating order just to stir up excitement, but now one of the provocateured temple chiefs is trembling, and the other "black swan" who is "fighting" with the chief is lazy, making Saenz feel like he is asking himself It's no fun.

Therefore, sometimes it is better to be clear about the needs of the leaders, otherwise even the most caring children will not be able to cooperate, which would be embarrassing.
