Chapter 11: The Yearning of the Ordinary Aristocrats

Poof, the little boy Hawke was drinking the refrigerated sky blue, and after hearing Lucian's answer, he squirted out very impolitely, and the expressions of Viscount Turner and several other nobles suddenly became solemn, looking at Lucian suspiciously, making eye contact with each other.

Kailin subconsciously smiled, wanting to say, "What a coincidence, you are also Lucien Evans", but something seemed to flash through her mind, making her mouth open slightly, and she couldn't say it.

Although they had not seen Lord Lucien Evans and his portrait with their own eyes, the nobles of the pro-Magic Council had already spread the appearance of the Grand Arcanist throughout the noble class: black hair and black eyes, medium height, handsome appearance, outstanding demeanor, gentle and restrained.

Since there were not ten thousand, but eight thousand young men who fit this description, Kaylin was not a little surprised when she saw Lucian, but when he gave his name, the description seemed to correspond to the real person, the same black hair, the same black eyes, the same handsome Sven!

With her hands twisted together, Kailin's voice trembled a little as she asked, "Is it Your Excellency the Elemental Order?"

Lucien's becoming a legend was still under wraps, and the name of the "Atomic Mastery" profession was not yet known, so after thinking about it, Kaylin asked under the nickname "Elemental Order", just as the nickname of "Chosen Magic" Douglas was "Arcane Emperor".

"I don't think anyone is going to impersonate me. Lucien replied with a smile.

"Really?" Hawk didn't bother to wipe his mouth, and looked at Lucien with sparkling eyes, which reminded Lucien of the look in little Crystal Averies' eyes.

Lucien smiled and nodded. But I didn't do anything to prove it, I won't hide my identity because of other people's praise in person, and I won't take out any tokens because of doubts, and I won't use any magic to prove my identity, I am frank and open, I believe if I want to believe, and I don't believe if I don't want to believe, anyway, it will not have any impact on myself.

Kailin still had doubts, but her father, Viscount Turner, said with a smile on his face, "Your Excellency, you are the truth of the elements. The scepter that holds the plane. Praise you for the great change you have brought to our lives, we used to be like barbarians in the west of the Shahran Empire, and now we understand what civilization is. ”

Kaylin asked her father with her eyes, remembering that her father had never met Lord Evans either. Otherwise, you would have recognized it just now.

Turner nodded quietly to his daughter. Compared to Hawke and Kaylin. These old and spicy nobles can think of more things, not only the description of their appearance, but also the origin of the Elemental Order. He was from Aalto, one of the most brilliant stars in the history of music, and was born in the pauper, and was the love of Her Majesty the Queen, while the Wellesley family was also from Aalto, and was also from the pauper, and was valued by Her Majesty......

With so many details hooked up, they naturally confirmed Lucian's identity, and he had already seen the two dream rings on Lucian's right hand, which were vaguely the rumored "Holm Crown".

"I'm just driving the process, and in fact, with the development of arcane, such social changes are inevitable. Lucien added in his heart, especially the council still needs to fight against the church, and it also needs the support of the nobility and the common people.

Hawke next to him got the confirmation of the adult, suddenly excited, scratching his head vigorously, but he didn't know how to express his feelings, and finally under Kailin's gaze, he rushed to the mahogany coffee table in the small living room, picked up the paper and pen placed on the lower floor, and looked up at Lucien: "Your Excellency, can you sign for me? I want to look at it and motivate myself to learn magic!"

In recent decades, as the populace of the kingdom of Holm has been influenced by the nation's great operas, so has the number of people chasing great singers and favorite roles, and at some point there have been attempts to send flowers and ask for autographs.

Lucien looked at this scene amusedly, took the pen and paper, and wrote a sentence.

While writing, Lucien said in his heart, sure enough, there are limitations of the times, if he simplifies the magic array of photographs, makes a magic camera, and even integrates the camera function into mobile communication items, then Hawk should not simply want to sign, but "Your Excellency, can you take a group photo?"

Unexpectedly, the object of his admiration was really willing to sign for himself, Hawke's little face was flushed with excitement, and he took the paper handed back by Lucien with gratitude, and anxiously looked at what he had written, and Kailin next to him also looked up curiously and excitedly.

On the paper are two rows of fancy words:

"I hope that little Hawke will study hard and go up every day. ”

β€”Lucien Evans"

Hawke and Kailin were stunned for a moment, thinking that the grammar and sentence were a little strange, but they were soon overshadowed by their joy, and they carefully admired it as if they had received the most precious treasure in the world, and then carefully folded it and put it in their pockets.

Although Viscount Turner was also excited, he still smiled calmly on the surface: "Since a few years ago, Hawke has always wanted to learn magic, but at that time, the radical sect was still there, and we, the small and medium-sized nobles, did not dare to cross the line too much, now that we can finally send him to Alinge to study openly, Lord Evans, I don't know which magic school to choose?"

On top of that, there was no inheritance when you became a magician.

"Really?" Hawke was even more agitated, and looked first at his uncle, and then at his father, Baron Stevens Hawke, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he was as happy as if he had dysphoria.

Lucien said simply, "It depends on what magical fields Hawke idealizes to be?"

"Elemental! alchemy!" said Hawke.

"That Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Aalborg School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are fine. "Lucien used to be a teacher at a magic school, so he knows a lot about it.

Kaylin plucked up her courage and asked, "Lord Evans, I, is it too late for me to learn magic now?" are already adults...... If I want to learn medical magic, which school should I go to?"

"As long as you have perseverance and basic talent, it's never too late to learn. Medical magic is necromancy, and requires an understanding of the structure of the human body. Dealing with corpses is inevitable, and you have to think about it, Alinge School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is better at this. Lucien said frankly, and then asked with a little curiosity, "I heard you discuss alchemy items before, and it seems that I know more about this aspect and like it, I don't know what kind of products do you want?" ”

"I want to fly. Alchemy items that ordinary people can fly too!" Hawke was very envious of the mages and celestial knights who could fly. I also have a lot of yearning for airships.

Hmm, airplanes, or robot cats' bamboo dragonflies?, Lucien smiled and looked at the others.

When Kailin heard that she was going to deal with corpses, she was prepared. It didn't turn pale with fright. Instead, he looked at his mother worriedly. Deliberately deepened the exchange of alchemical items: "I hope that the magic gramophone will be popularized, and I hope that there will be video magic items similar to it, so that we can enjoy the opera at home." ”

Turner smiled, "What I hope most is of course the popularization of alchemy potions that can prolong life. But ......."

He believes it's hard to simplify.

"Magic steam trains are not common enough, ninety percent of the cities are not connected, and there are no similar alchemy items in the cities from cities to small towns and villages, and we nobles can use carriages, but the burden on ordinary people is relatively large. "Baron Stevens, hearing that His Excellency Evans is more concerned about the common people, deliberately raised his opinion in this regard.

During the exchange, hurried footsteps came, and Alisa appeared at the door, her eyes still reddening, and said, "Little Evans, little John is back!"

When she called, the officer on duty said that John had already returned, so after informing Joel, she panicked and waited at the door, but in a few minutes, John rode home.

Alyssa appeared behind the figure of John, wearing silver-white full-body armor, he looked quite burly, after seeing Lucien, he stepped forward quickly, with an excited smile on his face, and then raised his right hand, clenched into a fist, as if he wanted to greet Lucian in the past, give Lucian a shoulder to the shoulder, but as soon as the action was halfway through, he became sluggish, his expression was quite stiff, it seemed that the change of identity, the relationship between the magician and the knight, a few years of rustiness, made him a little restrained.

Lucien greeted him with a smile, and likewise raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and went straight forward, and slapped John on the right shoulder:

"Long time no see. ”

John laughed from the bottom of his heart, stretched his right fist forward, and gave Lucien the same shoulder:

"It's good to be back. ”

He didn't say much, and a simple sentence melted away all the alienation of the past few years.

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

The ball has officially begun, and Alyssa goes out to greet the guests, while Lucien, Joel, and John continue to catch up in the small living room.

"Little Evans, let me go to the Musicians' Guild, is that your recommendation?" Joel had a ruddy face, drunkenness, and his blond hair had turned gray.

Looking at his very happy father, John smiled and said, "Dad, the prom has just started, and you drank a bottle of golden rum, which is not good." ”

"I, I'm glad little Evans is finally back!" Joel said with a thick tongue.

Lucien snorted, "Uncle Joel, I think you're taking the opportunity to drink, Aunt Alyssa must have limited the amount of alcohol you drink." ”

"Little Evans, you haven't answered my question yet. Joel looked at him left and right.

Lucien shook his head: "It's Natasha who thinks Uncle Joel is at a good level, and you can 'teach' the musicians in Rentat." ”

"Her Majesty the Queen really has a vision. Joel is proud of his progress in music.

"Where's Aven?" Lucien suddenly remembered Aven.

Joel smiled: "Evan doesn't want to participate in this ball, and he went to the manor outside the city with a few noble companions, hey, he has never been able to stimulate the blood power, and he has been interested in alchemy items recently, I wonder if he can still learn magic?"

"Send Evan to Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to give it a try, and I'll talk to them. Speaking of which, Lucien added, "I don't have much time to be a teacher right now, and the way I teach my students tends to be simple and rude, and if you don't have a solid foundation, you can't adapt to it at all." ”

"I know it, so I just want to send Evan to the school of magic. John understood.

Joel glanced at John: "Before you care about Evan, you should care about yourself, you are more than a year older than little Evans, go to the prom, I will accompany little Evans." ”

John, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't help but blush slightly at this time, and froze in his seat, not knowing how to react.

Seeing this, Lucien deliberately helped him resolve the awkward atmosphere, took out a key and handed it to Joel: "Uncle Joel, this is a villa in Alinge, I can go on vacation when I have time, and I can go there when I am in danger...... This is the address of my magic tower......"

Joel nodded, not asking more.

And John, at the urging of Alisa outside, finally stood up and said, "Lucien, we'll talk after the ball is over." ”

"Go ahead, I'm getting married, and you don't even have many female friends. Lucien smiled and pointed out with his chin.

Joel was stunned, and then smiled: "Then bless you and Her Majesty the Queen first." ”

John then sighed: "The picture when I was a child seems to be yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everyone has grown up to have their own families, time is really full of feelings, giving everyone a different future......"

Yes, the memories in Aalto are sometimes very clear, as if they just happened, and sometimes they are very vague, as if they were already from the previous life, time is like water, leaving an imprint, but diluting the taste.

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

In the New Year of 825, the cold wind was steep.

Annick walked into the villa with many periodicals such as "Arcane" and "Magic", and his expression was full of contemplation: "There are more and more tinkering with the electronic energy levels, orbits, and quantization of the new alchemy, but it seems to be more and more deviated from the normal direction, and even contrary to the original idea. ”

"Isn't it time to look for another direction? Are we forgetting something?" said Splinter in the hall with a similar frown.

During this period of time, including those questioning grand arcanists and high-level arcanists, they have been tinkering with the model of the new alchemy, but as more problems are discovered, they all have a hunch that the new alchemy seems to have reached a dead end, and they must abandon some of the original things in order to find the true direction.

Annick closed the door and looked at the location of Lucian's Magic Tower: "The teacher seems to be aware of this problem as well, and has not published a single paper in these two months. (To be continued......)
