Chapter 61: Lucien, Friend of Nature (Part 3)

"Huh?" Lucien was a little surprised by this sudden arrangement, he didn't prepare the content of his speech, and what could have a good effect?

In fact, Lucien was initially prepared to give a speech to convince the committee members, but Florence did not mention this matter for two days, which made Lucian think that there would be no similar thing, so he slacked off and forgot about it.

Ellestin and Exiion looked excited, and muttered vigorously, "We must fully explain our druid's concept of natural balance, so that those magicians can agree and accept it!"

The short excitement made the two elves not produce any pressure, and Lucian's head throbbed and throbbed, at this time, you should speak concisely and forcefully, you will definitely have no effect when you talk so much. What should I say? I won't be convincing for a while!

The main thing about my own meddling in pollution treatment is a long-term person's choice of their own living environment, which is a rational action, and there is no pain in the skin for the time being, and it is impossible to achieve love and sincerity, and cry bitterly, so as to move people's hearts, well, see if there is any useful information in the soul library.

Led by the Adamantite Golem, Lucien, Elastine, and Exirion made their way to the side door of the Council Chamber, where they sat on a soft bench and waited for the summons inside.

Tick-tock, the clock on the wall opposite the corridor made a mechanical monotonous sound, and the excitement faded Ellerstin suddenly became nervous, and looked at Lucien: "Mr. Evans, what should I say?" This is no more than her experience in presiding over the "Tree Sacrifice" holy ceremony in the Elven Royal Court, not just following the prescribed process to concentrate on it, and facing not familiar elven companions, but a scheming magician.

Why was he so excited, Lucien sneered, and then said to Ellerstine with a pleasant face: "Talk about the consequences of not dealing with pollution, nature's revenge, and so on." Isn't that what you're good at?"

"Tell me about the consequences of not dealing with pollution, the ...... of nature's revenge," Ellerstine repeated, trying to calm herself. Exirion is much calmer, and he presides over many things in the Elven Court. He also often dealt with visiting guests on behalf of the royal family, and he had significantly more experience in making speeches than his younger sister.

Just as Ellerstin struggled to think about what she was saying, there was a soft creak. The side door opened, and a young girl wearing the badge of a fourth-level arcanist and a five-ring magician walked out lightly, she looked to be about twenty years old. is full of vitality, but the actual age may not be so young.

"Distinguished guests, which of you will go first to speak. Her voice was crisp, but it was low as if she were afraid of disturbing the members inside.

Exirion looked at her sister, who was not ready, stood up and said, "Beautiful young lady, let me start first." ”

"Just call me Rachel, Your Highness. The youthful girl smiled and greeted.

Lucien heard the name. Subconsciously looked up at her, and saw that she looked ordinary, her hair and eyes were ordinary flaxen, but her whole body exuded a vigorous, energetic, and temperament, which made people feel kind at first sight.

Rachel is a magical genius with a similar reputation as Larry, Timothy, Ulysses, and others. He belongs to the tower and is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old. Originally, there was not much gap between her and Felipe, but now she has been pulled away.

Sensing Lucien's gaze, Rachel responded with a smile, then walked in with Exiion and gently closed the side door.

About five minutes later, Exilion was sent out by Rachel.

"Brother, how effective is the speech?" asked Ellerstine with concern.

Exirion shook his head solemnly: "They just listened to me, didn't say anything, and then asked me out." ”

The atmosphere seemed to be oppressive, and the committee members discussed it for a while before Rachel came to invite Ellestine.

Ellerstin straightened out her simple, easy-to-climb emerald green druid robes and tried to look calm and believable.

Also five minutes later, Ellerstine returned with a beautiful face in frustration, and she said to Exirion as if she were about to cry: "I opened my mouth to 'talk about the consequences of not dealing with pollution, the revenge of nature,' and subconsciously said what Mr. Evans had taught. ”

"You've been muttering this all the time...... And then?" Exirion distracted his sister.

Alestine pursed her lips: "Later, Lady Florence reassured me with a smile, and I was able to speak my heart in full, but they didn't express an opinion, and it wasn't until I left that I heard a little argument, and it seemed that someone objected." ”

Lucien casually comforted the two elves while flipping through the materials in the soul library: "You have done your best......

"I don't know what will ......happen to the Dao," Ellerstin looked at the closed side door with some concern, "If it's not ideal, the union with the Magical Council will become estranged...... Either way, Mr. Evans, you are our friend. ”

In the quiet and depression, time passed quickly, I don't know how long it was, the side door made a small sound again, Rachel smiled kindly and enthusiastically and said, "Evans, it's time for you to speak." ”

Lucien was wearing a white shirt, a black night dress, and gold-rimmed glasses today, very formal, and after hearing Rachel's words, he smiled and nodded, got up and tidied up his bow tie, cuffs, etc., and followed her into the side door,

Behind the side door was a narrow, quiet aisle, and Rachel, with a polite smile, led the way in front without saying a word.

After walking a dozen or so steps, Lucien turned a corner and saw the members of the committee sitting around a large round table.

Some of them wore magical robes, some wore different types of gowns, and they sat sparsely, fewer than Lucien had expected.

As a member of the committee, except for Florencesa, there will definitely be all kinds of affairs to go out, such as Rogerio a few years ago, so Alinge has only more than half of the members of the committee all year round, but today it has broken through the lower limit, and only nineteen members are present.

As long as two-thirds of the members present agree, the regulations can be passed.

After being taken to a seat across from all the commissioners, Lucien saw Florentsa's gentle smile. She raised her right hand and made a downward gesture to tell Lucien not to be nervous.

Lucien coughed. He cleared his throat and then spoke unhurriedly: "Good morning, distinguished ladies and gentlemen. ”

"I think most of the commissioners have their own descendants, their own friends and descendants, right? Drink fresh water and get your own resources from the sea, forests and mountains. This is the foundation of their survival. ”

Lucien's different opening from the two elves allowed the councillors to focus slightly. Rogerio looked at him with a smile, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

"If we unscrupulously destroy nature to develop, then they will ......" Lucien still portrayed the worst future as predicted by astrologers.

Lucien then tried to keep himself from laughing and concluded: "There is no doubt that our development must prioritize meeting our needs, but we cannot compromise our ability to meet the development needs of future generations." I believe that our development should be one that is sustainable and meets our requirements to increase our wealth and develop magic, without unduly damaging the environment that is intimately relevant to future generations. It is within the limits of its natural recovery, so that future generations can thrive sustainably. ”

This was copied by Lucien from a certain political book......

"Sustainability, nice concept. Evans, you go out first, and we'll talk about the results after we discuss the vote. Florence said with a warm, playful smile.

Lucien bowed slightly. Led by Rachel, he left the conference room with a thought in his mind: "When will I be able to discuss and decide the affairs of the Magic Council, instead of waiting for the results outside?"

A small flame ignited inside Lucian.

............

Outside the meeting room.

"Mr. Evans, how are you speaking?" asked Ellerstine, a little eagerly and curiously.

Lucien probably repeated, and said mildly: "Whether I can impress the committee members, I don't know if I can do it, I can only wait for the result." ”

Then Lucien, Ellersteen, and Exiion sat quietly on the bench outside, waiting, the ticking of the hands beating like a disturbing noise.

In this very irritable and depressing atmosphere, half an hour seemed to pass very slowly, and just when Exirion couldn't help but want to stand up and walk around, the side door slowly opened, and Florenza, who was wearing a formal light purple cake dress, walked out, wearing a six-star arcane badge and an eight-ring magic badge on her chest.

"Prince Exirion, Princess Elastine, Evans, the result of the vote is in, and the first round rejected the proposal by ten votes against, seven in favor, and two abstentions, but at the same time proposed the direction of amending the proposal, so that the new proposal was adopted in the second round with sixteen votes in favor and three against. This regulation is not as strict as you think, and there are only modest penalties for alchemy workshops that violate the treatment of pollutants, and the main way to supervise them is to provide them with subsidies and more favorable conditions for the recovery of separated elements. ”

Florence looked at the two elves carefully and said, apparently the main reason for voting on the revised proposal was to form a stronger alliance with the elves and druids. Every mage understands that if the Council is defeated, they will not have the good life they have now, and the mages hiding across the Stormstorm Strait and surviving in the Dark Mountains are examples of this.

After repeated torments of disappointment, hope, disappointment, and hope, Exilion and Ellestine were still quite satisfied with this result, at least with clear rules and discounts, they pointed their foreheads with the index finger of their right hand, and said with the unique etiquette of the elves: "We feel the sincerity of the Magic Council, and hope that in the future, with the increase of alchemy workshops and the deepening of the magicians' understanding of the environment, this rule can be made stricter." We will report this matter to the royal court and the Council of Elders immediately. ”

Looking at the backs of the two elves coming to the hall outside, Florence smiled at Lucian teasingly, "What? Evans, you're a little sorry?"

"Barely there. Lucien did have some regrets.

Florence put her hands behind her back, looked at Lucien with green crystal eyes, and said in a leisurely tone: "Because your influence and strength are not enough." If you have the influence that most magicians revere and admire, and you have the strength that they dare not resist and fear, then everything you say will be carried out. Little boy, this is the most attractive expression of a mature man, you still have a long way to go. ”

"My husband Oliver is such a man, so even though he is a playboy, I love him deeply. Little boy, I hope you can become such a man in the future, and you also have a girl who loves you deeply. Florence smiled and waved her hand kindly, returning to the conference room for the next topic.

Seeing the side door close, Lucien sighed, Grand Arcanist?

As thoughts rolled, Ellerstin and Exilion walked back.

"Thank you very much for this incident, Mr. Evans, although the result was not as good as expected, it was not bad, and your help played a vital role. You are a rare magician with a long-term vision and a love for nature, and when you return to the royal court, I will apply for the title of 'Friend of Nature', which is the friendship of the elves. Exirion was the first to say.

And Ellerstin also smiled lightly: "Mr. Evans, don't be discouraged, the rules can be improved in the future." Everything you do, we see in our eyes, it is so valuable. It's a pleasure to meet you as a friend, and I want to give you the blessings of the elves. ”

As she spoke, she pulled out a leaf that looked ordinary but exuded a strong natural scent.

Lucien didn't refuse, as it was the main ingredient for concocting an important potion.

This elixir is called "Flying", and it is the best auxiliary elixir for advancing to the middle level, and the raw material requires that the leaves of the elf tree naturally fall and must be sincerely blessed by the elves, so it is very cherished. With this elixir to promote, you can directly generate a spell model of flying spell in your body, and your mental power is fifty percent higher than that of ordinary three-ring magicians.

What a bonus!

"Thank you. Lucien took the leaves, and thought of another blessing for herselfβ€”the blessing of the little girl Mary. It's been attached to the body for a long time, but it hasn't shown any effect, and after being promoted to the third ring, it's time to find magic books on souls, resentful spirits, curses, and blessings.

"Today, I will go back and write the piano song Tempest to Natasha as a birthday present, and then I will concentrate on improving my magic strength, and strive to have the ability to impact the three rings within half a year. If you don't have strength, you won't be treated. Lucien thought silently. (To be continued.) )
