The vast villa is surrounded by high walls, and black iron railings form the outermost gate, and two soldiers in silver-gray chain mail are guarding the iron gates for an ornately decorated noble carriage.

"It seems like a ball?" Lucien was not a researcher who did not understand the common sense of life among the nobles, and combined with the brightly lit condition of the villa, he could judge at a glance what was going on inside.

After a little hesitation about whether to come back later, Lucien quickly made up his mind, anyway, he came to the door, and he was worried about what he was worried about?

The magic fluctuations on his body flashed invisibly, and Lucien walked to the door with slow steps.

Because of the importance of decency and grace among the nobles, the ball would come in a carriage no matter how close to their homes, so Lucian, who approached like a commoner, was obviously not an invited guest, and the two soldiers had to step forward to stop him.

But at this moment, they suddenly felt that Lucien was full of majesty, graceful, and had the coat of arms of the Hoffenberg family on his chest, and was obviously a nobleman of extremely high status, so they bowed their heads, opened the door, and welcomed this guest.

"A simple spell can pass the guard...... Lucien shook his head slightly as he entered the gate, guarding the door with knightly squires can only defend against ordinary personnel, fortunately there are knights from the kingdom's intelligence department in the shadows, but they know themselves without a doubt, "I have to find an opportunity to set some vigilant magic traps to prevent the church from attacking Uncle Joel and them." ”

Although the church is not as careless as a cult like the Silver Horn, it is always good to be prepared. There was no shortage of lunatics among the night watchmen.

In July, when Rentat, which was only a few hours away from the sea, was still cooler in the evening, Lucien, bathed in the evening breeze, walked along the Garden Route, smelling the rich fragrance of flowers, as if blending into the shadows, so that the aristocratic carriages that came to the ball behind did not notice that there was such a person walking on the side of the road.

The garden is not very large, and Lucien soon came to the vicinity of the three-story villa, which was lit up with magic crystal lamps and dazzling, making the villa look beautiful. The night scene that is common on earth exudes a resplendent atmosphere here.

Above the steps of the villa. Still so muscular, Elisa held up the Aalto-style court dress tightly, and greeted one guest after another with several maids.

"Miss Noble is more ...... than normal" Lucien was slightly puzzled, then took a light breath and walked directly to Alyssa.

Alyssa had a smile on her face. He looked with joy at the aristocratic ladies who had come to the ball. Greet guests warmly. After many years of aristocratic life, she is no longer as restrained as in the past, and looks generous and decent. And her son John, a great knight brought from Aalto by Her Majesty the Queen, was obviously used to be in charge of some of the affairs of the Knights of the Sword of Truth, and the nobles naturally looked up to her and were proud to attend her balls.

"Viscount Turner, Madame, Miss Caryn, welcome to this ball. Alyssa greeted the new guests with a smile on her face, and was especially enthusiastic about the tall, slender and gentle maiden, who had blonde hair and blue eyes that were different from Holm's.

Viscount Turner knew the purpose of Alyssa's ball, and nodded with a smile: "It is our honor to be able to participate in your ball, Madame. ”

And Kailin responded generously and politely with aristocratic etiquette.

"There is still some time before the ball starts, take Viscount Turner and them to the little parlor to rest. Alyssa instructed the servants beside her.

When the Turners entered, Alisa was smiling again, ready to welcome the new guests, but the familiar black-haired and black-eyed man on the steps made her stunned, and the smile on her face froze on her face, and she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, looking like she was still dreaming

I have never seen him wear a black double-breasted long dress, but it fits like that, matching his temperament, the child in his heart seems to have become a mature and stable man in an instant, Alisa is emotionally rolling, her eyes are suddenly red, her mouth is slightly open, and she snorts: "Little Evans?"

"Aunt Elisa. Lucien stabilized his emotions and walked towards Alyssa with a smile.

Alisa still looked like she was dreaming, and shook her head in disbelief, the surprise of seeing her again was entangled with the shame of having snitched him off: "Little Evans?"

"What's wrong, Aunt Elisa, you don't know me anymore?" Lucien laughed.

Lucien's kind and detached attitude made Elisa's other emotions disappear, leaving only excitement and joy, she forgot the aristocratic demeanor that she had worked so hard to cultivate in the past few years, and began to cry as if she had been in the slums.

She rubbed her eyes and said very quickly, "Little Evans, did you really come back to see us?" I thought you hated me for betraying you. ”

"That's what I told you to do, didn't I?" Lucien smiled and hugged Aunt Elisa, "In my heart, you're like my family. ”

"Oh, this, that's great. Alyssa looked at Lucien excitedly, "Little Evans, you've grown so taller, so much taller than before!"

She trembled with her right hand and compared Lucian's original height, and years of depression and self-blame were finally expressed, and without waiting for Lucien to answer, she pulled him inside: "I have to, I have to tell Joel, tell little John, little Evans is finally back!"

The servant next to him looked curiously at the tearful appearance of the hostess, and did not dare to remind her that she still had to welcome the guests, so he had to go to the butler to support the scene.

Along the way, Alisa cries and nags, thinking that Lucian is taller, but thin and emaciated, which attracts many guests to look sideways and wonder what happened.

When she was about to approach the small living room, Alisa stopped her tears, took out a white handkerchief and wiped her eyes, and then patted her forehead: "I, I forgot, little John is still on duty at the Palace of Nexser, and it will be over later, Joel was invited by the musicians association and has not come back!"

"It's okay, I'll wait a minute......" Before Lucien finished speaking, Alyssa spun around on her own, excited and flustered, "I have to go and tell them, tell them you're back." Go and tell them right away! Little Evans, you go to the little living room to rest, and I'll call them!"

With that, she hurried to the place of the study, forgetting to lead Lucien to the small living room.

Seeing Aunt Alisa's excitement and joy to the point of being at a loss, Lucien didn't mind being "forgotten" by her, but shook his head with a smile, his heart was warm, he should have come back a long time ago.

Without any restraints, Lucien felt like he was back in his own home. Walked into the small living room with unmistakable accuracy. I saw Viscount Turner's family and several other noble guests, who were contacting each other's feelings, and looked at Lucien, a stranger, with a slightly curious gaze.

In the center of the living room, a strange and delicate machine spins a black disc. Melodious and clear music is playing. The room is filled with a romantic and elegant atmosphere.

Nodded his head in greeting. Lucien familiarly walked over to the wall and opened the hidden magic refrigerator, the crystal lamp inside lit up. Drinks such as refrigerated champagne are reflected.

Lucien calmly pulled out the champagne cork, poured himself half a glass, and then took out a small Xiaoice cube from the upper layer of the magic refrigerator, and just as he was about to close the door of the magic refrigerator, a male voice in the voice change period came from behind: "This is the magic refrigerator, the alchemical object invented by the great Lord Lucian Evans, so that we can enjoy the refreshing cold at any time in the hot summer." ”

Lucien felt very strange when his name came out of someone else's mouth in such a way, that he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in a small suit behind the side had a typical Holm-style appearance, black hair and blue eyes, deep facial features, and a little delicate, he saw that Lucien did not answer, and thought that he did not know the origin of the magic refrigerator, and enthusiastically introduced him: "This kind of magic refrigerator has a very small output, only the big nobles and a few ordinary aristocratic families can enjoy it, it is the crystallization of the popularization and life of alchemy products, and I have only seen it at other banquets." ”

"Well, the popularization and living of alchemy items is the idea proposed by the great alchemist His Excellency Lucien Evans, and it has changed our lives in essence, hasn't it?"

The little boy seems to have a lot of respect for Lucien and has a cheerful personality.

"Of course, I like this life. Lucien looked at the little boy with a smile.

The little boy was very happy to be recognized: "Viscount Wellesley is one of the most valued knights under Her Majesty's majesty, and he has a lot of novel alchemy items in his house, which for the time being only belong to the great nobles, and my cousin loves the magic gramophone, which allows us to enjoy all kinds of beautiful music without a band, and even fall asleep in the company of music." ”

He pointed to Kaylin as he spoke, and his cousin seemed to refer to her, and Wellesley was John's last name.

Kailin saw Lucien's gaze following the little boy's gesture, and smiled politely: "Not long after the magic phonograph was invented, I also saw it for the first time, and I like it very much." ”

The little boy happily added, "This is also the design idea that His Excellency Evans has proposed. ”

Lucien nodded slightly, he knew much better than him, a few years ago, he had told the high-level leaders of the Elemental Will about the magic gramophone, hoping to simplify the magic array that stored sound, but because he didn't find a good storage material, he didn't succeed until a few months ago, Gaston's "Life Matter Synthesis Laboratory" stumbled upon a natural resin material that could be used to simplify the magic phonograph in this world.

"Actually, Viscount Wellesley's family also has a special alchemy item. Kailin also seemed to like this magical life, and was intrigued by the little boy's gushing narration, pointing to the silver-gray box hanging high in the room: "I once saw it at the banquet at Duke James's house, it is a magic air conditioner, which can cool the summer and the fireplace in the winter. ”

"Really?" the little boy had not noticed the magic air conditioner in the heights before, and his eyes were wide open looking upwards, looking very interested.

Kailin smiled and said, "You can feel the cool breeze on it, and it's also the work of Grand Arcanist Lord Lucien Evans." ”

"Oh, really, that's great!" the little boy circled excitedly, "Cousin Kailin, I must study magic in the future, I want to become a great magician and alchemist!"

Viscount Turner quipped his nephew: "Hawke, try to get the Holm Crown Award." ”

"Hmm. The little boy shook his finger proudly, "The Holm Crown Award is not my goal, but the Lucien Evans Award is! Later, when someone asks who this is, you can have the honor to introduce it, this is Mr. Hawke, the winner of the Evans Arcane Award, uncle, to tell you, Cousin Kailin also wants to win the Lucien Evans Award, but her goal is the Evans Medical Award." ”

"If we had two Evans Award winners in our family, tsk, what a face. Turner smiled at his daughter.

Hawke exposed her thoughts in front of strangers, Kailin was a little shy, changed the subject, and asked Lucian: "This gentleman, I don't know what to call you?"

Lucien rubbed his chin with his right hand, "You can call me Lucian Evans." (To be continued......)
