ps: Something is delayed, I will change it first and then I will ask for recommendation votes on Monday~ When there is no update, there are so few recommendation votes...
The sea breeze blowing from the Storm Strait dissipated the dryness in the city of Arlinge, and the drizzle fell lightly, making it particularly refreshing.
Lucien stood quietly at the window of the study room of his garden villa, watching the blossoming flowers wash away the dust, and they were so beautiful that they kept thinking about what happened yesterday.
Due to the sudden development of his soul potential and the urgent need to consolidate the foundation, coupled with the waiting of a certain Excellency and the possible danger of Alto, Lucien did not waste time to stay in Alto and waited until his and Natasha's birthdays passed before leaving.
Instead, he hurriedly took Leo and activated the special and precious magic scroll back to the Magic Council.
"This letter delivery is a test and help from a certain Excellency?" Yesterday, in a manor outside Alto City, Natasha, who was wearing a black knight uniform, was not surprised when she heard Lucien's description and smiled.
Nodding, "This is somewhat similar to what I guessed. For a guy with amazing potential and talent like Lucien, the Magic Council will not openly arrange for you to carry out such a high-risk execution, no matter how fierce the internal fighting is."
Assignment, hey, I wonder who your teacher will be?"
Natasha didn't think Lucien would refuse. Since your Excellency made such a move, it meant that he had already "communicated" privately with other big figures who were interested in taking Lucien as his disciple. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of favor?
Moreover, his "test" was not cold, malicious, or torturous. On the contrary, it was very thoughtful, taking into account various dangers and Lucien's ability to withstand it. Based on my understanding of Lucien's character, I can judge that he is not resistant, but not
In case of resistance, becoming a disciple of the legend is an irresistible temptation.
Lucien smiled helplessly: "I don't know, I have never had any contact with big people like them. I probably have to enter the demiplane or return to the Magic Council to find out. I hope it is a teacher in my field of expertise.
"
Natasha was very happy that Lucien was about to become a legendary disciple, with a bright and beautiful smile: "It won't be Granny Hathaway anyway. With her personality, she can't make similar arrangements. Lucien, you don't have to worry. The Magic Council
Legendary magicians are not scary. In other words, except for the legendary strongmen in dark mountains, hell, abyss and other places, most legendary strongmen are not scary when there is no conflict of positions. Most of them have their own areas of focus.
As long as you can keep up with their guidance, you will basically not be criticized harshly. And I believe in your talent in arcane and magic."
She is also a disciple of an epic knight and the leader of the Holy Sword Knights, "God's Glory" Belial. She is relatively familiar with this matter.
Then Natasha's expression became slightly solemn: "After you become a student of the legendary magician, coupled with the reputation of the Holm Crown Award, you will definitely be taken seriously by the church. Although you are not qualified to enter the purification sequence, I believe that everyone
The cardinals and cardinals of the diocese will all get information about you, so it's time for John and his family to urge them to 'act'."
"That's why I asked you out this time. Natasha, please." Lucien put away his smile and became serious. He thought it would take at least several years, or even more than ten years, to wait for him to win again.
This matter will only be raised on the schedule when there is an award from the Magic Council or when something earth-shattering is done. However, it is unexpected that such a big change has occurred in just a few days. If it had not been arranged in advance, things would have become very difficult and troublesome.
, if you are not careful, it will lead to a tragic outcome.
Natasha rubbed her chin with the index finger and thumb of her right hand and smiled: "Don't worry, I will make arrangements. However, Lucien, you can't stay in Alto for the time being, lest you encounter the madness behind the church."
Then she hugged Lucien goodbye and returned to the city of Alto. Lucien took a deep look at her back, and with Leo waiting outside the manor, he heartbrokenly activated the precious magic scroll.
The feeling of space transformation and jumping made Lucien's soul and brain unprecedentedly chaotic. It seemed that he had penetrated somewhere, and it seemed that there was a structural change around him. If it were not for the protection of the magic scroll, he would have been lost or broken in the "space."
"Among them.
"What is the principle of space movement or jumping here?" After arriving in a demiplane with howling winds, lightning and thunder, Lucien woke up a little and subconsciously thought about this currently incomprehensible magic, but his sobriety was not maintained.
For a long time, the power of the magic scroll continued to "shuttle" and "jump" with Lucien until he appeared on a hill near the Sky City.
Judging the time from the position of the silver moon and stars, and then subtracting the "imaginary" time difference, Lucien got the time it took for this space jump: half an hour for an afternoon tea in the Kingdom of Holm.
The drizzle outside the window gradually filled the air with a layer of mist, which is rarely seen in the June season and is only possible in the strangely located city of Allinge.
Lucien, who was staring at the rare beautiful scenery, recalled all the scenes yesterday and sighed softly: "I don't know what kind of suffering Uncle Joel, John and the others will suffer..."
After the worry and guilt slowly subsided, Lucien felt a rare worry arise again.
After the initial awkwardness and subconscious resistance, Lucien, who has always been relatively rational and does not deceive himself, finally confirmed his feelings after a period of emotional settlement and vivid dreams of dangerous stimulation, and he did have a certain affection for Natasha.
I don’t know when the goodwill accumulated and suddenly burst out. Maybe she has a personality that I admire more?
"But how to pursue her?" After confirming his intention, Lucien, a member of the "Plan Action Party", immediately began to calmly analyze the difficulties and obstacles, so that he could later refer to the miscellaneous books in the Soul Library to formulate a package to pursue the girl.
plan of.
"She is a knight who believes in the God of Truth, and I am a magician who specializes in arcane arts. There is a fundamental conflict in our positions. However, due to her mother's identity and love story, she has a softer attitude in this regard. As long as she perseveres, she can
With her silent indoctrination and change, there is no small hope of success. But it is impossible for me to give up my magical path and settle back in Alto for the sake of love. With her character and chivalry, it is also impossible for me to give up the Grand Duke and give up for me.
The principality, this is the biggest difficulty."
"She likes women, but is not sure whether she still likes men. She can only slowly explore and deepen the relationship. This is the second biggest difficulty."
"If she still likes men, what kind of men would she like?"
"What should I do for a girl with this kind of personality?"
…
As a rookie with no relationship experience, Lucien claimed that he was analyzing things calmly, but the more he thought about it, the more distant he thought. He even thought about the difficulties after marriage. He felt more and more hopeless.
Dong Dong Dong. The knock on the door woke up Lucien who was in a daze.
"Leo, what's going on?" Lucien sensed that his new butler, Leo, was outside the door.
Leo turned the handle, opened the door, and said respectfully: "Master, Will of the Elements, please come over."
Is the main show finally about to begin? Lucien calmed down, picked up the black top hat on the coat rack, put it on, and ordered, "Leo, prepare a carriage for me."
Watching Leo turn around and leave, Lucien silently clenched his fists and concluded his previous analysis: "The temporary plan is to change the monthly correspondence from one to two!" Even if the hope is slim, it is wrong to give up without trying.
As for my own character, I can't think of any more plans at the moment. I can only upgrade my magic and arcane levels first.

Late at night, outside the Violet Tribunal, a fat figure walked evasively nearby, but he approached and backed away hurriedly several times, as if there was something he feared in his heart.
"Alissa, do you want to betray little Evans?" A cold and angry voice came from behind her, frightening her to turn around suddenly and see Joel, whose face was ashen and haggard.
Alisa shuddered and retorted with fear and a little firmness: "Isn't this Little Evans' suggestion?"
"But can you withstand the trial in your heart?" Joel growled in a low voice.
Alisa's voice suddenly became louder, and she said with pain and crying: "What if we don't do this? Are we waiting for Little John and Little Alvin to be burned on the stake? We are not young anymore, and we have enjoyed these few years.
It doesn’t matter if they live a luxurious life, even if they are burned to death, the most they can do is go to hell, but they are still so young and their future is still so bright!”
"Where did you hear that? Little John is a genuine knight, a knight belonging to the Violet family. The Inquisition will definitely verify carefully that knowing the magician and being deceived by the magician is not a crime that requires being burned on the stake! Do you think he
Did you secretly cooperate with Little Evans on any blasphemous things?" Joel felt Alisa's pain, softened his tone, hugged her, and stroked her back.
Alisa shook her head in panic: "No, during today's dinner, I heard several noble ladies mention that if a knight like this who has a deep relationship with a magician cannot cut off the contact before the church finds out, what will happen to him?
It will be very miserable. There have been many similar things before, such as the Thorn family in the late Dawn War. I know that little John can't do this kind of thing, so I, as a mother, will do it for him. What pain and torture is there?
It’s all up to me.”
Joel pushed Alyssa away and said angrily and feebly: "Alyssa, are you crazy?"
"Dad, Mom, please stop arguing." Suddenly, John's voice came from behind. He still looked calm, but his blond hair looked a little messy. He was followed by Alvin.
"Evan, watch your parents, I will do the rest. This is what a knight should do." John took a deep breath and strode towards the tribunal.
"John!" Alyssa's voice behind him did not interfere with John's progress. He closed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself in a low voice:
"For their safety, and for you not to be threatened..."
…………
The Will of the Elements is located in Arlinge's branch.
Lucien saw Gaston again and was about to return the monocle to him.
"You can keep it as extra reward for this mission." Gaston was very generous. After Lucien became that disciple, his relationship with the will of the elements could be deepened again.
Lucien didn't show any pretense, he just put it away and asked slightly curiously: "Isn't Mr. Laventi here?"
"He has been in a bad mood recently." Gaston replied with a strange smile, and then said, "Follow me in. Do you know the cause of the matter?"
Nodding silently, Lucien followed Gaston into a small conference room connected behind his office.
In the conference room, there were three men and two women. One of them was somewhat similar to Natasha, but had a very cold temperament. The woman with cold and ruthless silver-gray eyes and a short old man with red pupils were sitting slightly lower than the road.
Maurice, Florence and a middle-aged man whom Sean is not familiar with.
"She should be Mr. Hathaway. Isn't this old man the 'old pervert' I met in the library?" Lucien suddenly had a bad feeling.
The short old man smiled half-heartedly and said: "Lucien, I think you should do better." (To be continued...)
