Chapter VII Planning
Lucien almost forgot about the dwarf, and was only remembered by Natasha's question, stopped eating caviar, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell you about the adventures of the Dark Night Plateau before?"
"Yes, you're so bad that you added an extra layer of defense to that vampire count's defense core to make it even more 'strong'!" Even now, Natasha can't help but smile when she talks about it, Lucien is always full of what he calls a bad taste, but I like it!
Lucien was also quite proud of the response at that time: "That time, in order to kidnap the dwarves and come back, I mistakenly pretended to be their god of steam, and deliberately 'showed' an illusory god kingdom - 'Atlantis', which is my fantasy scene for the continued development of the alchemy industry, and the future I want to see, hehe, at that time, I also imagined that I could create an alchemy bomb like the sun rising through the great progress in the field of elements and alchemy, and the later situation, as you know, reality is more bizarre than fantasy,' The Eternal Blazing Sun' is already there. β
Speaking of dwarves, Lucien gave a little pre-explanation for "Atlantis".
Hearing Lucian's description, Natasha was stunned at first, and then laughed so much that she couldn't maintain court etiquette. Almost lying on the table: "I said what those dwarves are worshipping, it turned out to be alchemy bombs, haluha, it's so interesting! I've never seen such an interesting sect!"
I've seen it in the past, Lucien smiled at Natasha and leaned back with a smile.
Natasha struggled to control herself, laughing and saying, "According to the report of the intelligence services." After the explosion of the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' some time ago, the group of dwarves were like crazy, worshipping the silver-gray, haluha, and silver-gray steel bombs one by one, shouting for the favor of the gods, the advent of Atlantis, and other words, and kept asking who was the one who cast the 'Eternal Blazing Sun' at that time, thinking that it was the messenger of the god of steam...... Elector...... Saint. β
"If they knew that I had created magic, I, the god of steam, would have been reduced to the rank of the elect. Lucien shook his head in emotion, a strange thought rising in his heart. If the dwarves continue like this. If the doctrine is perfected and the various religious ceremonies are perfected, will the power of faith be concentrated on oneself? Or will it be directly converged on the "nuclear bomb"?
Lucien doesn't have any desire to "become a god" for the time being, and El is a lesson from the past. However, studying the convergence of the power of faith has always been his idea. Unmask the gods. It will surely reveal the deep-seated mysteries of the world.
Discussing issues such as the naturalization of dwarves, Natasha picked up a napkin and wiped her mouth: "I will assign the surplus monasteries to the town halls of various places as the address of the general school. β
After the Southern Church evacuated the area. The moderate sect was much worse in numbers than it had been at its peak, and in order to control them, Natasha had taken some of the monastery and church estates to the royal family and the state, respectively, so that the queen's treasury and the kingdom's treasury were filled at once, so that she could agree to Lucian's plan for the general school without any careβshe used the private part, which did not require a vote of the noble council.
"When the school you run jointly with the parliament cultivates a batch of talents, I think the foundation of the royal family will be even more solid. Lucien said with a smile.
Natasha put down the napkin and looked at Lucien with a smile: "Of course I will support you in your plan, and you have convinced me." β
Lucien nodded slightly, his expression solemn and serious: "If the surroundings do not change, and they still maintain a state of ignorance and backwardness, then what is the joy of being successful and condescending in such a society? What is the point of being the leader of a herd of pigs? A true arcanist should lead the progress of society, make human beings more civilized, and make everyone enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by alchemy items, which is the greatest achievement......"
Listening to Lucian's straightforward words, Natasha looked at him quietly, her eyes focused, and he was more attractive than ever.
After Lucien finished speaking, Natasha said with a bright smile: "Well, being a queen in a poor and backward country where many people don't even have a basic grasp of the written language, how can it be happy to see your country flourish and improve its civilization." β
Lucien looked at Leo and the two maids standing around him, and got up with a smile: "I'll show you the specific scene of Atlantis." β
Natasha was stunned for a moment, the corners of her mouth twitched, and then she realized that Lucien had something else to say, so she picked up the black knight's hat placed next to her, put it on her head diagonally, and followed Lucien into the living room with a slow pace.
It wasn't until Lucien opened the independent magic array that she said solemnly, "What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal for the time being, weren't you angry that I didn't tell you about my promotion to legend just now?" Lucien looked at Natasha with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Natasha seemed to remember something, and couldn't help blushing a little, extremely delicate, and then coughed dryly twice, and her thoughts raced: "You plan to hide the fact that you have been promoted to a legend?
Lucien gave a thumbs up, in this regard, Natasha has always been very perceptive: "Yes, weaken the legendary strength of the church as much as possible, if I announce this matter, they will probably not take action again, but use another way to besiege them, after all, a legendary magician is very difficult to kill, this will not play a role in fighting them, and besides, you are still shrouded in the shadow of Ketonia, I want to solve these two things together." β
Knowing that a large part of Lucian's reason for doing this was to help herself deal with Ketonia, Natasha originally wanted to oppose it, but after seeing Lucian's determined eyes, she gave up her original idea, the corners of her mouth hooked, and said with a slight smile: "The problem is, only if you keep planning how to assassinate others, how can you always be prepared for being assassinated?"
"So, we're going to look for an opportunity to fish them out together. Lucien said without the slightest hesitation, as long as the other party misestimated his strength, he could hold them back, and wait until His Excellency the Speaker, the teacher, Granny Hathaway and other reinforcements quickly surrounded them.
Natasha held her right elbow with her left hand, and rubbed her chin with her right hand: "Ketonia and the possible assassins of the church should not be so easy to be fooled, they are experienced, and if we do something wrong, we will be found out and used in turn." β
"Yes, we can't deliberately go out and hang out and so on, we have to have a very legitimate, unquestionable reason. Lucien frowned slightly.
Natasha also thought about what kind of "opportunity" to create, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she clapped her palms: "Wedding, our wedding!" Although there will be guests such as Granny Hathaway and His Excellency Storm Master, the scene will definitely be relatively chaotic, and it will give the assassin a chance. β
"The relationship between the two of us, everyone knows that it is normal and normal to have a wedding after the situation has stabilized, and no one will suspect it. Lucien nodded in agreement.
Natasha added again: "And it can go further, for example, if you are the Grand Arcanist, I am the Queen, the wedding must be reciprocal, either one in Nexer Palace, one in Alinge, or you go to Nexer Palace to pick me up and my father, the royal family of Holm and other places in Alinge, so that only Granny Hathaway protects on the way, leaving room for assassination." β
"If the Church makes a move, it's likely to be the Flame of the Origin, or the remaining giants of the Inquisition, I've analyzed their previous records of actions, and found that they are all bold and careful, the only question is, is Cortonia with them, and if not, how can they guarantee that they have extra manpower to pester Granny Hathaway? Lucien replied quickly, and the two of you discussed the general situation of the matter with one word.
Finally, Natasha said, "When will you be able to engrave the remaining two legendary spells in your soul?"
"It will take half a year at the earliest, and seven or eight months at the latest. Lucien said his time.
Natasha bowed her head lightly and smiled: "Then on April 10 next year, the wedding will be held on the day we separate for the first time, I will reveal the news first, is there enough time?"
"Enough. "Lucien thinks he still has time to refine his own legendary items, but the problem is that he doesn't have valuable materials suitable for the legendary realm.
Natasha seemed to guess Lucian's thoughts, and said with a smile: "The wedding is set, you have truly become my fiancΓ©, the treasury of the royal family will be open to you, I hope there are legendary level materials that suit you, if not, then exchange them with other legendary magicians, such as Granny Hathaway and Lord of the Storm." β
Even if the Holm royal family has accumulated for hundreds of years, the materials of the legendary level are very, very small, no more than five.
"This ......" is so precious, even a person like Lucien who is a fan of wealth is a little hesitant, but after seeing Natasha's firm and smiling eyes, he suddenly became free and easy, and nodded with a smile: "Okay." β
After discussing this matter, Lucien scratched his head a little strangely: "So, our wedding is decided?
Isn't that too unusual?
Natasha was stunned: "Uh, you want me to propose?"
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, the two of them have unique experiences, unique personalities, and unique ways of getting along.
Natasha stretched out her right hand, took Lucian's left hand, and said in a low voice:
"If they really dare to come, let the blood of legends stain the carpet of our wedding!"
"This is probably the most unforgettable wedding. Lucien smiled in response, and at the same time admonished, "In these months, you must not be careless, you must be careful and careful." β
............
In the afternoon, the two spent time in the magic tower, and in the evening, Lucien was about to take Natasha to the Sky Radio station to quietly audit, when he suddenly received a summons from Samantha: "We received a strange channel, it seems to be the newly formed radio station of the church. β
"Really? I'll come and listen. Lucien and Natasha glanced at each other and saw the curiosity in each other's eyes. (To be continued......)
