Throne Steps

Compared with Li Chen's secret remorse and Wiggins' restraint, Saenz's performance is generous.He didn't seem to feel that he was inferior to the Elf King at all, he just greeted and greeted the Elf King naturally, and introduced two little followers to each other.

"Director of the Temple of Ainuma, Wiggins Estor."

Wiggins clenched his fists nervously just now, but now he saluted calmly.

"Li Chen."

Li Chen lowered his head to salute, and obviously felt that the Elf King's gaze stayed on him for several seconds, but he couldn't guess which reason aroused his interest. "Black Swan", although it has become popular recently, but in the eyes of an elf king, it is just a trivial skill; necromancy is just a method learned from a necromancer, and it is really useless when it is not used. Clue: The soul of time travel has few precedents and no legends. If the Elf King can really see something strange, he might pay more attention to it.

Li Chen, who was full of thoughts, didn't dare to make a fuss about this gaze, but Saenz stared at the Elf King calmly.Mogadishu looked at him in a blink of an eye, showing an almost unrecognizable smile, but stopped staring at Li Chen.

At this time, the two parties were just meeting each other. After the greeting, some elves came forward to lead everyone to the back of the hall.

After washing and resting, everyone finally changed into stylish clothes and came to lunch with the elves refreshed.Of course, it is impossible for the Elf King and the Third Highness of Sarnlich to simply meet and have dinner, and it is necessary to say something that is not easy to make public.Li Chen and Wiggins were all prepared, they just pretended they didn't hear anything.Unexpectedly, not only are the seats not far away, Mogadishu is not fighting alone... I came to eat with a human girl beside me.

Without waiting for Mogadishu's introduction, the girl's human attributes have already been understood by Li Chen.In the territory of the elves who are full of people and beautiful hearts, there suddenly appeared such a girl who could be regarded as pretty and pleasant, with a somewhat familiar personality—it was really impossible to classify her as the elves, even though her clothes were similar to those of the elves. No difference.

"This is our guest." The Elf King is much taller than the girl. He supported the girl, as if he was pushing his own pet, with a careless tolerance, "'Yang Xiaoxiao'."

Ok?

Li Chen was startled suddenly.There is no other reason, the pronunciation of "Yang Xiaoxiao" is too similar...

But just as Li Chen had chosen a sentence pattern to ask a question, Saenz next to him responded first: "...'Xiaoxiao'?"

It sounds, very much like it, even though it has been tried hard to imitate, but there is still a slight difference in tone.But Li Chen was very clear that the sound that His Highness could really utter was much more standard than it is now.

The girl doesn't seem to know how to salute, nor is she cautious in her words and deeds in front of foreign guests.The three of Saenz saluted her, and she giggled and lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly, and replied "Hello" in Elvish with a subtle tone.

"Let me ask a question." Saenz said, "'Xiaoxiao'... Could this be Elven language?"

Playing stupid and pretending to be stunned, Saenz's acting skills can be considered top-notch.

"Of course not." The common language of Raetia in Mogadishu is excellent, and it sounds as beautiful as a song. "She calls it 'Chinese'... Oh, and this is also related to the need for help from the Temple Chief."

Wiggins has vaguely guessed his role since Kunta's base camp, so he is not surprised to be named now, and he is quite a master.

Saenz was even more calm: "It's a matter of little effort."

Li Chen secretly glanced at Yang Xiaoxiao.The two parties treated her like a pet and discussed it xenophobically, but she didn't respond. It seemed that she didn't understand the common language of Rhaetian at all.

The human beings in the elves' land don't understand the common language of Rhaedia—probably don't understand the elvish language very well—Yang Xiaoxiao not only failed to integrate here as soon as possible, but on the contrary, she highlighted her uniqueness with a single mouth.The consequence of being unprepared is that her origin is easily revealed by a name - she is also a time traveler.

If possible, Li Chen might be able to pull out much more things than the Temple Chief.

After a brief mutual introduction—of course, it was only an introduction between Yang Xiaoxiao and Saenz—Mogadishu took the people to their seats.The seating arrangement is very delicate, and round tables were used for this meal in order to accommodate the two big guys who had to talk.Mogadishu sat with Saenz, Lichen and Wiggins were on the left of Saenz, and Yang Xiaoxiao was on the right side of Mogadishu, so Yang Xiaoxiao was next to Wiggins.

Anyway, Yang Xiaoxiao doesn't understand anything, it doesn't matter where she sits.As soon as she was at the table, she looked around, looking at this and that.Saenz is good-looking, but she doesn't seem to dare to look too much, so she can only focus more on Li Chen and Wiggins.Even though she was as lively as a bird and had an uncharacteristically bright smile on her face, Saenz and the others couldn't get close to her.When things go wrong, there must be a demon. It is really unbelievable that she is still active while sitting in a difficult-to-communicate dinner - at least Li Chen thinks so.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to prepare food for Saenz, Li Chen approached his leader and asked, "Do you need to let Wiggins get in touch with her more?"

Saenz was noncommittal: "You can figure it out."

Li Chen turned around and pressed it to Wiggins' ear: "Since we want to 'see' her later, let's get in touch with her more now."

Wiggins took this as an order from Saenz.Although he didn't respond clearly, he quickly launched an "offensive" against Yang Xiaoxiao.It is not in vain to say that he deliberately honed the image of the temple chief among the common people for so long.Even though he couldn't speak the language, he seemed to be able to get along with the human girl happily.

Everyone sat around a table, and the Elf King and Saenz didn't say anything particularly confidential.As most aristocrats start out with greetings, the two are discussing some interesting knowledge.After the topic came to an end, Saenz took a sip of the fruit wine, glanced at Wiggins' direction, and said with a low smile, "If you want me to bring someone from thousands of miles to see her, I thought it was someone you valued very much."

Wiggins was borrowing a pen and paper to write his name to Yang Xiaoxiao.He has a good skill in cursive style, which is very in line with the style of the temple.At Yang Xiaoxiao's request, he wrote the names of Saenz and Li Chen—of course, Saenz's name had to be approved by the leader, and Li Chen's name was completely designed after imitating the pronunciation.

He didn't dare and couldn't write about the Elf King.The pronunciation of the Elvish language is different from that of the common language of Rhaetian, and Wiggins dare not confirm the words used without authorization.Yang Xiaoxiao turned around, gesticulated and added a few poor elf words, and finally asked Mogadishu to write her name in Raedian.

When Mogadishu handed over the pen and paper and turned back, seeing Saenz's half-smile eyes, he said with a smile, "Look, I really value her."

Saenz let out a slow "Oh".

Said it was "important", and discussed her in a language she didn't understand in front of her. From this alone, you can know that "important" is just a joke.As for asking people to watch, it is more vigilant than caring.

"Don't just talk about me." Mogadishu suddenly lowered his voice and smiled, "It was agreed to bring only one person to see, but you just brought one more... What is this called, huh?"

Saenz turned his gaze to see that Li Chen was pouring ice fruit wine in cooperation with the elves.As soon as he touched Saenz's cup, it was at room temperature, he said "I'm sorry", he picked up the cup and patted a small square crystal on the outer wall.A thin layer of ice quickly covered the entire outer wall, and then turned into water droplets.Li Chen wiped it clean with a dry towel, and paired the cool glass with ice fruit wine, just thinking about it made people feel comfortable.

Saenz took the glass from Li Chen, shook it, and the amber liquid wiped away the mist that covered the inner wall due to the instant cold.

"Look, I'd have a lot less to enjoy without him, wouldn't I?"

Mogadishu raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his wrist, and turned the cup that was about to be handed to the tribe to Li Chen.Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Saenz, then smiled and disposed of the cup the same as Saenz's.

While Li Chen was pouring the wine, the Elf King asked Saenz in a low voice: "Is he going to sit under the tree too?"

Saenz nodded.

The Elf King declined to comment, but smiled meaningfully.He seems to have noticed a secret, but for the time being, let's keep it in his heart and think about it for himself.

After lunch, everyone took their lunch break.Although Li Chen had his own room, he followed Saenz's room very calmly.To put it bluntly, it is called serving His Highness to rest, but to put it bluntly, it is an attempt to spy on some secrets about elves.

"Someone like you?"

"Isn't it?" Li Chen took Saenz's shawl, "She was not at all defensive, from her name to her manners, she even used 'Chinese' when she whispered to herself...even you I understand."

Saenz was undoing the metal wristband, and he glanced at him with a half-smile: "You understand, I understand, but the elves don't understand. They need to know the details of that woman, so they called Wiggins."

Li Chen hung up the shawl: "What Wiggins can see may not be as much as I can get out, so it can be seen that it came for nothing."

Saenz's tone was indifferent, but the content attracted attention: "I've heard about her background, and I know it well. If Wiggins really didn't have to come, I wouldn't take the trouble to bring him." He glanced at Li Chen, and added Said, "Weaker than you after all."

"I'm an alchemist, and I'm at most a mascot in the mercenary group." Li Chen pretended not to understand the belittling in the leader's words, and leaned over and said shyly, "Without you taking care of me, I wouldn't dare to come here." Deep in the mountains and old forests."

Saenz pinched the back of his neck: "Get to the point."

"Hey..." Li Chen laughed, "Tell me about her background?"

Saenz smiled, but simply told everything he knew.This woman named Yang Xiaoxiao actually fell from mid-air one day.If she was lucky, she was really lucky that she fell on a towering giant tree and survived; if she was unlucky, she was really unlucky when she fell on the tree of life, the sacred object of the elves.

What troubled the elves was that they did have a legend that the blessings from heaven fell from the sky and landed on a towering giant tree.He transferred part of his vitality to this plant, and thus he had the tree of life, and thus the elves.

Although the elves were not born from the tree of life, after experiencing several times of prosperity and loss, the tree of life is really an inviolable sacred object for the elves.The legend of the Tree of Life is as well known among the elves as the people of Rhaedia know the epic.

Yang Xiaoxiao's way of appearing on the stage happened to be somewhat similar to this legendary god-given favor.

Even if she herself couldn't explain how she got here—of course, it might just be a problem of inability to communicate—the elves still took the sake of the legend, received them politely, and kept a strict watch on them secretly.Yang Xiaoxiao probably didn't know that the elf who first encountered her had already penetrated into the magic power forcibly, so she knew that she had no special attack power, otherwise the guard must be stricter.

In fact, this human girl is a bit unlucky, that is, Saenz broke into the elf territory before her.Back then, the first teleportation crystal that Lichen secretly gave to Saenz had an unknown direction and distance after use, and he brought it into the elf territory when Saenz was running for his life.With this lesson learned, the "sudden appearance" scenario is reduced to its mythological quality.
