Chapter 39 Each has his own mind
Before stepping into the "Dragon Root" inn, Lucien thought for a moment, took off the magic badge, keeping only the four-star arcane badge, and took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on, two shimmering metallic chains hanging over his slightly emaciated face.
Possibly recognized by Patrick, Prince of Holm, Lucien bought a pair of glasses in Alinge without any prescription so that he could disguise himself a little when meeting outsiders. It's probably late, but it's better to do it than not to do it well.
Having put his bow tie in hand, Lucien stepped steadily into the "Lombroot" inn.
............
Inside, the sun shines through the glass windows, creating a quiet and brilliant atmosphere.
Two beautiful blonde elves, a man and a woman, sat on a sofa in the corner, waiting for the visitors of the Magic Council, surrounded by several equally delicate-looking elven guards and maids.
In the entire hall of the hotel, apart from them, there were only the owner and waiters, and there were no other guests.
"Brother, that 'Elemental Order' Lucien Evans is said to be not only the youngest Holm Crown Award winner, but also a fourth-level arcanist, his magic strength should be close to the high level, what should we do?" asked the extremely beautiful and delicate female elf worriedly.
She originally thought that she would follow her teacher to join the research team composed of high-level arcanists, and when the time came, she would secretly change the land environment and tamper with some experimental data to achieve her goal, but she was temporarily assigned to the Holm Crown Award winner who was "supposed" to be talented and had a research on elemental magic comparable to that of high-level arcanists.
In order to ensure that Lucian's reputation was used to the fullest, the message to the druids from the Council of Magic deliberately forgot Lucian's magical level, and gave him a resounding nickname like the name of the legendary mage's profession. Originally, it was intended to be called "Elemental Period", but Florence was a bit reluctant to dislike it. Not domineering enough to deter these elves, after several discussions. Finally determined to be the "Elemental Order", the corresponding Felipe did not hide the magic level, but only added the nickname "Resurrection".
"Ellesten, don't be pessimistic. First of all, we can cooperate passively. The magic imprint given was deliberately omitted, and secondly, since we were the main force of the experiment, it was when recording key data. You can 'make mistakes' openly. Elven Prince Exilion replied calmly, with a deep disgust on his face for the destruction of nature, "At the same time, we try to delay as much time as possible, the royal court is uniting the other elders to overwhelm the opposition, and then put pressure on the Great Elder together, maybe it won't be long before we can return to the fresh and beautiful forest." ”
Ellerstin sat on the sofa and smiled quietly, "I hope we can help keep nature green and pure." However, the various inventions of human life are actually quite good. For example, these sofas are soft and elastic and comfortable to sit on. ”
Exirion's face turned serious: "Elestine, don't forget that these sofas are made by humans cutting down trees. I seem to hear the cries of the trees, and you don't fall into enjoyment! What could be more comfortable and happier than to sit on a tree full of life?"
Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by his brother for a small exclamation, and Ellerstine was a little depressed. But he still nodded solemnly: "Brother, I will not forget the gifts of nature and the elven tree." ”
She quietly clenched her fists, determined to crush the claws of evil humans reaching out to nature.
At this time, they saw a young man of medium height walking in at the door of the hotel, he was wearing a white shirt, a dark waistcoat, a double-breasted long gown, a high black top hat on his head, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.
"As far as humans are concerned, he is good-looking and has a good temperament. The elven prince and princess subconsciously judged each other's appearances, which was the most basic reaction to human society after getting used to seeing their looks above the level, but their eyes quickly shifted to the beautiful ring set with lilac gems on each other's right hand, whose unique shape had been passed to them with the message of the Magic Council.
"Holm Crown Ring, is he Lucien Evans of the 'Elemental Order'?" Exirion and Ellestin stood up at the same time, even if they were members of the Elven royal family, they had to maintain a certain amount of respect when facing a Holm Crown Award winner and a strong figure close to the "high rank", and the domineering nickname subtly affected their senses towards Lucian.
"Hello, is it His Royal Highness Prince Exirion and Her Royal Highness Princess Elestine?" Lucien politely took off his top hat to say hello, and secretly thanked the commissioner who had assigned him the task. Because Felipe's strength is obviously much higher than his own, the higher-ranking druids who want to make trouble are assigned to his group, leaving only the princes and princesses of the druids with noble status, and their strength is level four and three respectively, with the "elemental" ring, he can hold it down steadily.
As for their noble status, Lucien is not an elf, so he naturally exists like a papyrus.
Of course, their elven guards are relatively powerful, and according to the mission information, there is a seventh-level magic archer Angst, and a sixth-level elven knight Tirel.
Facing Lucien, who pays attention to etiquette and has an elegant temperament, Exirion and Ellerstin also responded with court etiquette: "Yes, we are members of the Elven Court from the Struman Day. Are you Mr. Lucien Evans of the 'Elemental Order'?"
Lucien's mouth opened and almost forgot to close, did such a domineering nickname belong to herself?
Coming back to his senses, Lucien gestured to the two elves to sit down: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Your Highness the Princess, we still have to wait for the two members before we can start the study of divine arts." And the 100 acres of land in the southeast of the town belong to us, some fertile and some barren, so it is easy to do comparative experiments. ”
"Comparative experiments. Both Exilion and Ellerstin had a bit of a headache with the apparently specialized vocabulary, and anyway, their purpose was to procrastinate, so they changed the subject and talked to Lucien about music, painting, sculpture, and other arts.
Fortunately, they faced a "genius musician" who had been in the art circle for a long time, and the two sides had a good conversation, and there was no cold scene.
Due to the bias of Lucien himself. The last topic is basically focused on music, and the natural music from the elves' tens of thousands of years of development has given Lucien a very good experience and a lot of inspiration. Lucian's well-structured music with emotional themes also touched the two elves.
"The most valuable of you human beings are musicians, painters, sculptors, theater writers, etc. Art is the best reward for nature, unlike aristocrats and magicians who only destroy nature. Talking about it, Exirion seems to have forgotten that the opposite is the winner of the Holm Crown Award, the "authority" in the field of elemental magic. Think of him as an artist.
Lucien looked down at the arcane insignia on his chest, and secretly sighed that these two were really prejudiced, and the first thing humans had to be satisfied with was survival. In such an otherworldly realm full of magical creatures. Without noble knights, magicians, priests, etc., humans would not be able to exist, let alone art, and humans are not born with magic patterns like elves.
While Lucien was absentmindedly talking about the two elves who were getting more sexual, two more magicians entered the doorway. One is an elderly man in a black hooded robe, with five silver stars on a black background and a magic badge with four rings on a silver background on his chest, and the other is a middle-aged yellow-haired man in a night gown, with an arcane level of four. The magic level is level three, which is the other two members of Lucian's experimental team, Theodor and Julian.
After introducing each other, the elderly Teodor said in a loud voice: "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I wonder if I can fill my stomach first? ”
For this kind of delaying behavior, Exirion was very much in agreement, and smiled elegantly: "Ellerstin and I didn't have a meal in the morning, Mr. Evans, why don't you go together?"
The arrival of the two magicians made him realize that Evans, who had a very artistic temperament in front of him, was an "elemental order", a terrifying genius magician.
Lucien nodded tacitly in agreement, they wanted to delay time, why didn't they want to stumble on their side and prevent them from making trouble everywhere, anyway, as a quasi-knight, his food has always been good.
............
In the hotel's dining room, Lucien slices sausages with a knife and fork, while Teodor and Julian eat bloody three-ripe steaks early in the morning.
Seeing this scene, Ellerstin put down her knife and fork, and said with an ugly face: "Why do you humans want to kill other creatures to satisfy your desires? What is wrong with cows, sheep, and other animals, to be slaughtered by you, to be eaten by you? And they are still friends of human beings! You have been destroying nature, but you don't know how to understand its tolerance, and you will be punished by nature after all!"
Exirion also had an expression of extreme disgust.
Teodor and Julian put down their knives and forks with uncertain expressions, feeling that the two elves were extremely rude.
Lucien unhurriedly picked up a piece of sausage and ate it, then glanced at the emerald fruit on the plate of Elastine and Exilion, and said slowly: "Why do you elves want to kill other creatures to satisfy your desires? What is wrong with plants, that you should deprive their children and their fruits? According to the necromancy and the church, plants are alive, don't you think so?"
"You, Mr. Evans, I thought you were a caring artist, and it seems that you are still an evil magician at heart. 'Enjoy' your own breakfast! Ellerstin angrily accused, and then threw down the napkin with Exirion and left the table.
Watching them disappear at the door of the restaurant, Theodore looked at Lucian appreciatively: "I didn't expect Mr. Evans, who seems to be gentle and calm, to directly ridicule them and expose the hypocrisy of this part of the extreme elves." ”
"To protect nature is to protect ourselves, but only if we can survive and thrive. Lucien said earnestly, then smiled humorously, "And all that prevents me from eating meat is 'heresy.'" ”
Originally, Lucien, who had a good impression of the elves in the story in his previous life, did not reject and even fantasized about having a beautiful relationship with which elf lady, but now it seems that the Tao is different and does not conspire!
"I love this phrase, everything that gets in the way of me eating meat is 'heresy'!" Teodor sliced a piece of steak into his mouth.
Lucien wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, knowing very well that neither Theodor nor Julian in front of him were good arcanists, and the arcane badge and magic badge on his chest were all fake. They are members of the Combat Mage Division of the Council, and they are mages whose mental power and combat talent are far higher than those of arcane talent.
Among them, Theodor just stepped into the high-level threshold, is a third-level arcanist, six-ring magician, and Julian is a second-level arcanist, a five-ring magician, and was assigned to Lucien's research team to deal with the secret protection of the elven prince and princess.
"Two druids who are bent on making trouble and don't really want to cooperate, two battle maniac mages, and me, a 'deserved' fourth-level arcanist, this is really an arcane 'research' group that is very good at everything but research. Lucien took a sip of white water and said to himself.
As long as it doesn't get in the way of learning and analyzing. (To be continued.) )
