Room No. 14 on the 13th floor of Arlinge Magic Tower.
Florence wore a light blue dress that was closer to Tria and Alto style, fully revealing her beautiful and hot figure and mature and charming temperament.
She sat across from the desk, holding her chin with her left hand, her long blond hair flowing down smoothly, listening quietly to Lucien telling him about the situation. When Lucien finished speaking, the quill she held in her right hand subconsciously shook left and right, and then turned green and crystal clear.
He looked at Lucien with his eyes and showed a faint smile: "Evans, do you think this proposal can be passed by the Affairs Committee? This proposal will increase the costs and reduce the income of most mid-level and high-level arcanists."
Florence did not agree or refuse, but asked Lucien a question.
This made Lucien, who was relatively unfamiliar with her and didn't understand her style of work, not sure what her attitude was. He could only formulate a reply: "I think there is a certain possibility of passing. Because the cost can be allocated to the final product, and
There should be many gentlemen on the Affairs Committee who understand astrology. They can divine what will happen if this continues. They also need to consider their descendants. Finally, this is to the druids.
The opportunity for the elves to show their good will is related to the development of our entire Magic Council."
"The eloquence is good." Florence flipped her long hair and said in a joking tone. Then her expression turned serious: "But too high costs will affect sales, and sales will affect the magicians' pockets.
Wealth is related to their enjoyment of life, purchasing materials, and conducting magic experiments and magic rituals. I am afraid that no magician will harm his own interests to pay for things that may or may not happen in the future."
"Even if the astrological predictions show a very bad future, there are many magics that can be stopped and there are alien spaces to travel to. I think most magicians will choose to deal with the bad results when they start to feed back to themselves.
, instead of shelling out a large amount of money for prevention at the beginning. Not everyone has a long-term vision, and most people can only see clearly a few meters in front of themselves, especially when their interests are involved."
"Evans. You have a sharp mind and outstanding talents that are envied by most arcanists, but you are still too naive when it comes to grasping people's hearts. If you rely on the affairs committee to force the rules to be followed by magicians, it will be harmful.
It is the authority of the Magic Council and the status of each committee member in the eyes of the magicians who support them."
Florence sorted out the documents in front of her. She said seriously, "Your idea of simplifying the "Elemental Vortex" to deal with pollution is very good and has good reference value, but have you considered its cost?"
"To keep this magic on your 'element' ring costs a fortune that makes Sir Morris heartbroken. And it can only be cast a few times a day. Even if there is energy from the water and electricity magic tower in the alchemy workshop to meet the needs, even if it is simplified
At the level of four or three rings, even if it can provide pure element feedback like 'element decomposition', it cannot fully make up for its cost, which must be spread into the final product, which brings us back to the problem we just discussed."
Lucien had no way to refute, even if "Elemental Order" was used to arrange it, because its ability and efficiency to decompose alchemical substances were far lower than "Elemental Decomposition" and "Elemental Vortex", so there must be auxiliary magic arrays and enhanced power.
More energy is needed to meet the needs, and the value of many elements separated from the pollutants is not high.
After thinking about it, Lucien looked at Florence sincerely: "Ms. Florence, the cost of the final upgrade is not too much."
"I know, but for a lot of wealthy people, even if they waste far more money than that, they don't want to see losses because of higher costs."
Then Florence smiled and said her decision. "Because it involves cooperation with elves and druids, I will propose this motion in the affairs committee, but the result is not within my control. Evans, don't hold it.
Too much hope.”
Her hidden meaning is very clear. She is meeting with you because you are a talented magician with strong elemental will potential, but the proposal is due to the cooperation between the Magic Council and the elves and druids.
Although Lucien has high arcane potential and may grow into a legendary magician in the future, this is only a possibility and a good expectation. He is now essentially a second-level magician and a fourth-level arcanist. In Florence,
In the eyes of the wife of a great arcanist, she is just a promising young man, and is far from being able to take him seriously and exert her influence on him.
"Thank you very much, Ms. Florence." Lucien knew that it would be great to have Florence propose a motion, but his influence was still too low.
Florence smiled beautifully and said: "As a qualified gentleman, shouldn't you invite me to dinner to express your gratitude?"
"Ah, of course." Lucien originally wanted to postpone it until tomorrow, because he also planned to go to Rentat to meet with Laventi, hoping to influence the will of the elements and the friendship organization "Tower" through this archmage who insists on the truth.
Committee member, but he has some social experience at least, and he understands that he answered like this just after asking Florence for help, because he is afraid of offending her. Behind her is a great arcanist husband, a teacher of the ninth ring, and he is also a fighting force.
An extremely powerful high-level magician.
When Florence saw Lucien's slightly surprised and confused response, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile: "Evans, you don't have to be so nervous. In fact, I was joking. My husband Oliver came from another dimension tonight.
When we return, he and I will have a wonderful candlelight dinner."
A mature married woman like her always has a relatively open language style and likes to tease young men without having any other thoughts.
…………
After learning from Lucien that Florence agreed to submit the bill, Elestine and Ecthelion breathed a sigh of relief, and then used the unique elf method to pass the news back to Stroup Forest, hoping to obtain the elf royal court.
and the help of the Druid Council of Elders.
Then they took the magic steam train with Lucien to the Royal Magic Tower of Rentatholm to meet Laventi.
Laventi was wearing a gray magic robe, with a pattern of the periodic table of elements on his chest and abdomen, but the symbols inside were different from those of the earth, full of mysterious and profound flavor.
"Evans, I can help you mention it to the committee members you know, but I don't quite understand what you value. The alchemy workshop will indeed damage the environment, but what is the difference between this and farmers cutting down forests to cultivate farmland?
?We can keep the alchemy workshop away from cities and away from places where humans live, so that the evil consequences can be greatly reduced."
Laventi, who had witnessed Miller's experiment, obviously valued Lucien more than Florence, and he had always valued his arcane talent since the beginning of the periodic table of elements. Unfortunately, he had no idea about this aspect at all.
Lucien briefly talked about the situations that may arise in the "inference". Finally, he concluded: "Mr. Laventi, you archmages and high-level magicians are certainly not afraid of such things, but the magic apprentices and magic apprentices who are the cornerstone
The human society that provides talents will be greatly affected, although there is no way to deal with it. But why wait until tragedy occurs?"
"I'm going to the astrologers in the tower for advice. If things are indeed going to be bad, then I agree with your suggestion, Evans." Laventi deduced for a while based on his magic knowledge. He became slightly confused.
He attaches great importance to it, but he can only attach it to this extent. After all, his concepts are still very different from those of the druids and elves, and the world is very broad, and there are many unexplored areas.
Seeing that Lucien was reluctant to persuade Laventi, his mood cheered up a little. Alestine and Ecthelion on the side also showed happy smiles. The person in front of him was the vice-president of the Will of the Elements. He was more influenced by Mr. Evans.
Much more strength.
After waiting patiently for a long time, Laventi slowly came back. He used "Fernando's electromagnetic communication technology" to consult his old friends in the tower, with a slightly heavy expression on his face: "According to the predictions of several high-level astrologers, they seem to
I saw that the sky was covered with yellow-green gas. Large areas of humans and animals died, the forests withered and deserted, and the rivers were dark and smelly. Although this is only a possibility in the future, we should still try to avoid it. Evans, I will help
You convince several committee members I know well."
Is the worst-case scenario appearing in this prophecy? Even if Lucien requires pre-treatment of pollution, he still believes that the scene in the prophecy must be the worst possible scenario. It will almost never happen, and even if it does, it will be an occasional accident.
, but why should we expose it if we can get Mr. Laventi to pay attention to it?
After thanking Laventi and leaving his room in the Royal Magic Tower of Holm, Elestine said sincerely to Lucien: "Mr. Evans, thank you for running around and lobbying everyone to protect nature.
Big shot. Your perseverance and perseverance in doing things are like nothing we have ever experienced. You are a real man."
"I never bow to fate." Lucien said humorously. As long as it does not delay the improvement of my magic strength, I should concentrate on meditating in the next night.
At this time, Prince Patrick of Holm came down from the stairs and Arthur who seemed to be his entourage.
"Why does he come to Holm Royal Magic Tower so often?" Lucien was a little confused, but he politely took off his black hat and bowed slightly: "Good evening, Your Highness." After all, he is Natasha's uncle.
When Patrick saw it was Lucien, a kind smile appeared on his thin and almost withered face: "It's Evans. Your arcane level and magic level have improved very quickly, which is very surprising. You arrived at Holm Royal Palace so late.
What's the matter with you coming to the Magic Tower? Tell me and see if I can help."
Lucien had originally planned to visit Arthur tomorrow. Since he met him in advance, he simply invited Prince Patrick, Arthur and their entourage to talk to them in an empty room next to them and explain the matter in detail.
"You want me to issue a decree requiring all alchemy workshops to install purification magic circles?" Patrick frowned and coughed slightly, "But I can't control magicians, and such a decree can't pass the House of Nobles. They
It will definitely be rejected unanimously. Even nobles who are completely loyal to the royal family will not damage their own interests because of this without seeing the importance. As for Arthur, you don't need to use your own shares as collateral, he will bear everything.
"
"Yes, Mr. Evans, we will pay for the arrangement of the magic circle. But in this way, because the value of alchemical substances is ultimately reflected in the food, and the price of food cannot be too high, so in the second and third years
Your income will be greatly diluted, you have to be mentally prepared." Although Arthur was heartbroken and didn't want to agree, he was dependent on the royal family to achieve his current status and wealth. Patrick agreed, so he didn't dare to object.
Lucien was a little disappointed in his heart, but still said firmly: "My wealth is enough for me to be promoted to the third ring in the past year. I hope that the income from the 'Mineral and Harvest Company' will be long-term and continue to flow like running water, rather than
After a few years, production was discontinued due to various reasons. Also, alchemical substances have to be used by all farmers to accumulate small amounts into large amounts. Even if they have no money, they must establish agricultural mutual aid associations and provide interest-free loans." This will help.
To reduce the piety of the church’s underlying beliefs.
Seeing the thoughtful expression on Arthur's round face, Lucien continued: "Your Highness, is there really no way to issue a similar decree?"
Patrick shook his head and laughed at himself: "In fact, in the eyes of most nobles, I, a prince who has been sick but has not recovered, has long lost his majesty. But I have a way to pass the House of Nobles, and that is to make the promulgated decree mandatory.
It has become an incentive. Anyone who sets up a purification magic circle when building an alchemy workshop can receive a certain subsidy. This subsidy will come from the income from my shares in the Holm Mining Federation."
This, this, Lucien was completely speechless. Wasn't Patrick's loss too great? To be honest, Patrick's attitude and enthusiasm always made Lucien feel that something was wrong, even if he recognized that he was a talented musician, it was him
He is a good friend of his niece Natasha, but he is not so warm, so kind, and so generous, right? He is the future King of Holm!
However, the subsidy method is good. Only an old fox like this can figure it out quickly. He can tell Florence to increase the possibility of the proposal being passed without damaging the authority of the Magic Council. Anyone who has received a subsidy from the Magic Council but does not do it must accept it.
Mandatory punishment.
After finalizing the matter, Lucien looked at the back of Patrick coughing and leaving, full of doubts in his heart. Why was he willing to pay such a high price? He could not have foreseen that pollution would do far more damage to the kingdom than the magicians.
…………
On Monday morning, Lucien, Elestine, and Exilion came to the lobby of the Affairs Committee on the twelfth floor early. According to Florence, today she will propose a motion and vote on it at the regular meeting.
.
As soon as they arrived, the adamantine golem guarding the door greeted him: "Mr. Evans, Ms. Florence asked you and the two elf distinguished guests to prepare to speak as special guests at the regular meeting of the Affairs Committee."
