Throne Steps

In June, before the melting pot performance, the port city of Kieran.

Li Chen came to the hotel restaurant where they agreed to meet.It is said that Saenz used a different identity and appearance from the previous performances this time. In order to match him, Li Chen also adjusted his "role setting" appropriately.

Although neither side knew what the other had become, the solid loyalty contract came into effect and pointed out the direction for Li Chen again without any mistakes.

"Long time no see, brother."

During peak dining hours, the restaurant is bustling with activity.Li Chen walked to a table in the corner of the restaurant, greeted the man at the table, then looked at the person beside him, raised his eyebrows.

"This... Brother, don't you want to introduce me?"

This is a woman.With long brown hair and an oval face, it can only be said that it is more lively and sweet, not a great beauty, let alone a face that Li Chen knows.However, because of the existence of the transforming potion, Li Chen could not assert that this was her real face.

"This is a distant relative of ours, who will come to live with us for a while." Saenz introduced casually, "It's not convenient for me to take her there, can you help arrange it?"

"Brother's favor, I must help." Li Chen smiled and sat on the other side of Saenz, beckoned to the waitress, and smiled at the woman, "What's your name?"

Li Chen really didn't understand why he had to bring someone he didn't know in such a private operation.The last time Saenz did this, he brought Dan Lu who looked a lot like Lailier, but this time, it was obviously not Dan Lu.

Is it...the new "Danlou", or is it Saenz's personal relationship?

The woman was a little cautious when answering: "My name is... Xila."

Li Chen narrowed his eyes.

... This person's Raetian Alliance language is a bit strange.

The waitress came over with the menu, Li Chen added two dishes he wanted, ordered another drink, then turned his head and asked the two of them: "Brother, do you want to add anything?"

All Saenz said was, "I'll add a dessert."

Li Chen nodded, glanced at the menu, and ordered a dessert that best suited Saenz's taste.Then, he turned his head and asked, "Where's Shira?"

Sheila replied: "No, no need..."

"It doesn't matter, it's my meeting gift for you." Li Chen laughed, "Do you have any taboos? If not, why don't you order their signature dessert like me? How about adding a little fruit stuffing, the taste is more delicious charming."

"'Fruit...stuffed'?"

Li Chen said with a smile: "It's just...wine. It's brewed and produced from fruit. The alcohol content is not high, and it has a fruity aroma and a very mild taste."

"That's it..." Xi La turned her eyes and took a peek at Saenz, then nodded to Li Chen, "Okay, thank you."

Li Chen showed her a gentle smile: "You're welcome."

After dinner, the three of them went back to their rooms.Of course, after Li Chen returned to his room, he went out again and arrived at the door of Saenz's room.When he raised his hand to knock, he found that the door actually opened with a push, so he went straight in.

"I hope it's not another person you're expecting to come in, or I'll be embarrassed."

"Close the door." Saenz ordered without looking back. He was brewing tea at the table, "Generally, the only people who come in who are not expected by me are the uninvited guests who want to attack me, but I will not be with this group of people." People chat peacefully."

"Understood." Li Chen closed the door with his hands behind his back, and walked towards the table, "Speed ​​is what matters when you start, and it's a sign of failure if you babble."

Saenz turned around and handed him a cup of tea: "Tell me, why are you looking for me so late?"

"It's not too late, my dear brother, there are still many people walking on the street outside." Li Chen took the tea, took a deep breath under his nose, and then smiled, "And you left me door, doesn’t that mean you know I’m coming, and of course you know why I’m coming.”

Saenz picked up a cup of tea by himself, took a sip slowly, and said, "The identity of that woman."

"Yes, no one will be curious about this." Li Chen shrugged, "Then, who is she?"

"Didn't you guess it?" Saenz looked at him, "You tested her words, maybe she didn't know it, but you didn't intend to hide it from me."

"Yes, I don't intend to hide it from you, and I can't hide it from you." Li Chen also looked at him, "So, I guess she is...your fiancee?"

Saenz raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, no. You won't bring your fiancée here, she should just stay in her family to marry well, shouldn't she?" Li Chen smiled, "It's not the fiancée, it's...you lover?"

Saenz approached him, or leaned close to him, and looked down at him.

"Don't mess with me." The shadow of Li Chen was reflected in Saenz's eyes, which seemed to contain a thousand words.They stood so close that they could smell the faint smell of alcohol on each other's breath.

"Don't mess with me." Saenz said again.He bowed slightly, and looked at Li Chen face to face, his tone was flat, and seemed to contain some emotion: "You know, there are some things between us...you know and I know. If you plan to provoke me like this , I don’t guarantee that I can continue to play this kind of game of no talk and no action with you. And the consequences, I think you don’t want to bear the consequences now.”

As he spoke, his gaze gradually became hot, powerful, and aggressive.Li Chen felt his heart beating violently, even he was "lost" under such gaze, and had to lower his eyes and look away in a little embarrassment.

But he quickly looked up at Saenz again: "Okay, she is Yang Xiaoxiao."

Yang Xiaoxiao, a woman who came from time travel.

However, her time-traveling journey was different from that of all her predecessors.Even though she fell into the tree of life of the elves in one fell swoop, she got involved with one of the most legendary characters on this continent—the elf king Mogadishu, and also met the greatest pure white warrior in the Raetia alliance. color... But her existence is still very subtle, even from the elves to Li Chen, they don't have a positive attitude towards her existence.

It can be said that if she hadn't fallen on the tree of life in the first place, causing the elves to be afraid that she would have some deep relationship with the tree of life, she would have been killed when she saw the first elf.

After being held back by the elves for a while, four years ago, Yang Xiaoxiao came into contact with people other than the elves - Saenz and his party, and proposed to join the Raetia Alliance.The Elven King watched her for four years and finally released her.However, the purpose of releasing it was not to satisfy Yang Xiaoxiao's desire, but to see if the tree of life would change after Yang Xiaoxiao left.

Of course, the Elven King wouldn't just let her out for fun.From the elves to Saenz, Yang Xiaoxiao may have thought that the elves had thoughtfully arranged for them, but in fact it was just a different place for supervision.

In the past four years, Yang Xiaoxiao has learned the daily conversations in Elvish, and the common language of Rhaetian barely.Her lingua franca was not only pronounced strangely, but often uttered poorly.Thanks to the different accents of people in various parts of Letia, she will not be sent to the city lord's mansion as a suspicious person.

But it was also her poor language that allowed Li Chen, who had repeatedly quoted her to speak, to confirm her identity.

"Even if you want to send her to me, you don't have to bring her here?"

Li Chen asked smoothly, but Saenz gave him a half-smile.

"No matter what you're thinking, stop it." Li Chen didn't care if the more he said, the more he wanted to hide it, and he said directly, "There must be a limit to what you want. Yang Xiaoxiao is obviously an unstable factor for everyone. , a factor that can only bring negative effects after the explosion. Directly exposing the disguised identity to her, what is the difference between you and directly disclosing it to the outside world?"

Saenz smiled: "I haven't seen you for so long, do you really understand my current situation?"

Li Chen was choked by his words, thousands of thoughts turned in his mind, and finally he just said one sentence: "What is Mogadishu's attitude towards her...?"

The whereabouts of Saenz were leaked. In the past, Li Chen would not have given up in the debate so quickly.Today, he didn't know whether he gave up quickly out of anger or frustration, which made Saenz feel a little irritable for no reason.

Oh, summer is here, and it is also the period when his troubles are at their peak.

"His attitude is just that he has no attitude." Saenz replied while refilling the tea, word by word, seemingly without emotion, "It doesn't matter if you travel far and wide, or marry and have children, as long as the tree of life is fine. , it probably doesn’t matter if she dies outside.”

Li Chen couldn't help but glanced in the direction of Yang Xiaoxiao's room through the wall.

This woman absolutely didn't know that the Elven King didn't care about his life or death at all, and she didn't know that just across the wall, the two people who took care of her were talking about her life and death.

Li Chen turned his gaze back to Saenz again: "Then, by delivering it to me, you mean to let me handle it?" He paused, and said more indifferent words, "She and Viking If we are together, it's a ticking bomb plus a ticking bomb, I can't sleep peacefully..."

"There's no need to find a reason."

Saenz handed him another cup of hot tea and interrupted him: "I'll leave it to you, so you don't have to ask me again. Aren't you very good at this kind of thing? Besides, looking at the whole continent, I can't think of anyone I fear the existence of that woman more than you."

Li Chen smiled, just shook his head and replied: "I won't drink anymore, I won't be able to fall asleep if I drink any more."

"I've never seen you suffer from insomnia, let's use another excuse." Saenz didn't take back his hand, "And you should smell this smell."

An ominous premonition came to Li Chen's heart.

He took the tea suspiciously, held it under his nose and sniffed it gently——

His face remained unchanged, but his heart beat violently.

This is soothing tea, the soothing tea for "Song of the Siren"!

The "Song of the Siren" cultivation center in Samir probably has already shown its tail in front of this pure white color.
