After hearing what the short old man said, Lucien secretly cursed: "I can't even say a word of praise..."
But on the surface, Lucien still said modestly and politely: "Yes, Your Excellency, I still have a lot to improve and learn." This perverted old man can sit next to Mr. Hathaway, and at least he is a legendary magician.
, it is always right to follow his words.
Gaston, who led Lucien in, smiled and said: "Evans, this is the Grand Arcanist, His Excellency Hathaway." He first pointed at the beautiful lady and introduced it, and it turned out to be Lucien's guess.
"Elemental Dominator", a direct bloodline of the Holm royal family, Natasha's unknown "ancestor" several generations ago.
"The secret is above. Your brilliance illuminates the entire elemental world." Lucien put his left hand on his chest and his right hand on his forehead. He greeted Hathaway with the highest formal etiquette of the Magic Council. He didn't know why he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
, it feels like meeting an elder, and for each legendary magician, according to the long-standing tradition, there is a unique tribute speech.
Hathaway nodded slightly with a cold expression: "The path of mystery and truth has no room for slacking off."
She was less eloquent and spoke concisely, as if she was telling a truth in a straightforward manner, and she seemed to be reminding Lucien.
After Hathaway finished speaking, Gaston turned his eyes to the short old man wearing a bright red robe. The smile on his face showed a little fear that he was not aware of, as if he was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would be criticized mercilessly.
and accusations.
"Evans, this is His Excellency the Grand Arcanist Fernando Balista." After some consideration, Gaston still introduced him in the plainest and simplest words without adding any modifications or other words.
Storm Master? The perverted old man is the Storm Master? Lucien was quite surprised. According to the rumors he heard, the Storm Master should be a rigid and serious arcanist, unreasonable, unafraid of authority, and a violent arcanist with zero tolerance for mistakes.
Just like his legendary title. This short, slim old man who could vaguely see his handsome appearance when he was young really didn't look like him, and his original humorous ridicule also left a deep impression on Lucien.
However, he thought that Gaston could not deceive himself about this kind of thing, unless he wanted to be drowned by the roar of the real storm master. So Lucien solemnly saluted again: "The secret is above. Your Excellency, you are the storm.
Lightning is the ruler of the sky."
When saluting, Lucien also became careful. He carefully considered his words. He was a little afraid of which of his actions or words made the mistake and he would be roared. Mr. Laventi's roar was definitely not on the same level as Storm Lord's.
"You don't need to be so careful, except for mistakes in arcana and magic. I rarely argue over other things. For example, when Oliver discusses oil paintings and dramas, I never interrupt." Fernando defended himself with a smile.
Let Lucien relax.
But other people's expressions didn't think so. Florence mouthed to Lucien, "That's because he doesn't understand at all."
Without waiting for Gaston to introduce others, Fernando said bluntly: "Lucien, Tangpu recommended it to me after seeing your first paper. I got some inspiration from it and thought that you have basic arcane skills.
thinking and a certain potential, so I went to the library to find out who you are. Yes, you are a very interesting young man, which is more to my liking. And your two papers after that were nothing.
Errors, this is very rare for a young man of your age. You must know that the papers of some guys in the Supreme Council also have childish errors and ridiculous errors!"
Although he may be praising himself, Lucien always felt that his choice of words was very strange, making it difficult to tell that it was a compliment, and he completely ignored the fact that there was an Excellency from the Supreme Council next to him.
"The two missions at Beltrand Castle and delivering a message to the Dark Mountains have shown your potential in fighting and handling things. This is something that many arcanists in the Council currently lack, and it is something that the Council is working hard to improve. I hope you can continue
Keep."
"Lucien, I think what you have shown should not be limited to elements and astrology, but should enter a broader field. I want you to follow me to learn arcana and magic and become my student. You have
Do you have any opinions?" Storm Lord Fernando's slightly obscene smile faded and his expression became serious.
According to the information Lucien knows, although the Storm Lord is a great arcanist in the heat department, he is also good at elements, electromagnetism, force fields, illusions, light and darkness. He is a rare legendary magician who is energetic enough to study so many things at the same time.
A member of the faction has received the highest honors in four different fields, including the Order of Ice and Snow, the Crown of Holm, the Silver Moon Medal and the Wizard's Crown.
After only thinking for a second, Lucien nodded firmly: "It's an honor to be your student."
"Very good, you are now my student." Fernando replied seriously.
"Ah?" Lucien, Gaston, Maurice, and Florence all blurted out surprised questions. Only the cold and quiet "Elemental Dominator" Hathaway and the middle-aged man next to Fernando did not have any surprises.
look.
Fernando chuckled: "Now we have a relationship between teacher and student. Do you have any questions?"
With such a simple addition of a great arcanist as a teacher, Lucien suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality. Gaston and others also felt a bit ridiculous and confused. According to the tradition of the ancient Magic Empire that was extended to the Magic Council, they summoned
Accepting a formal student is a grand and serious matter, requiring complicated ceremonies to highlight the changes in the status of both parties.
They always knew that Fernando was impatient, had a bad temper, and hated troublesome procedures, but they never expected that his "disciple acceptance ceremony" would be so simple that it could be solved with just two questions and answers!
Seeing that Lucien was still a little confused, Fernando had a serious expression on his face: "It's a matter between the two of us that you follow me to learn arcana and magic. Since you are willing, I also agree. Do you still need troublesome rituals?"
"No need, teacher, I have no doubts." Lucien also disliked cumbersome and unnecessary rituals, so he answered immediately and calmly. The relationship between master and disciple lies in the inner recognition of both parties, not external things.
Gaston didn't expect Lucien to answer so simply, and the thought occurred to him that they were really like master and disciple.
Fernando chuckled and said: "Today is the day when several of my students get together to exchange research on arcana and magic. Please join in later. Hearing more about the latest research difficulties will help you master the basics and choose your own next step."
A research direction. I have something to talk to Hathaway about. You and Tang Pu go out and wait for me."
When they returned to the study together, Tang Pu looked at Lucien with a smile: "Teacher never praises others, but his evaluation of you just now is very good."
"This is not bad..." Suddenly there was a strange teacher, and he was also a famous arcanist with a bad temper. Lucien always felt a little uncomfortable.
Probably seeing Lucien's mood, Florence smiled charmingly and said: "Little guy, although Mr. Fernando is very strict with his disciples, he is the most protective of his students among all the legendary magicians. If it weren't for him, Hai
Your Excellency Servi may not agree, she prefers it to be His Excellency Laventi."
"Mr. Laventi?" If Fernando was not the Grand Arcanist, Lucien would rather be the familiar Mr. Laventi.
Gaston still had that weird expression: "It is said that Lord Laventi went to see Lord Storm Lord. Someone heard a fierce quarrel broke out inside. Then Lord Laventi turned pale, as if he had experienced a storm.
He walked out. Every time he mentioned this matter, he was not in a good mood."
…………
Artaud, inside the tribunal.
"Agent" Waldo looked at the report in his hand and said angrily: "Lucien Evans turned out to be a magician, he faked his death, and the church and the whole city were teased by him like a fool! He must be killed
Catch him and tie him to the stake!"
"Are you sure it's true?" Cardinal Amorton said with half-closed eyes and a plain expression.
The deep voice of the "Prosecutor" seemed to contain endless anger: "From John's report and the magical interrogation of the others, it can be confirmed that Lucien Evans is not dead. It was him and the professor who joined forces in the villa.
The trap he set was, on the one hand, to get rid of the traitors and to cover the departure of other magicians who knew about the Magic Council headquarters. On the other hand, he sensed that the clown was suspicious of him, so he faked his death and escaped and framed the clown. The whole process was done perfectly, and there was no problem at all.
.”
"Does Natasha know? Is it being concealed, or is she cooperating?" Amorton opened his eyes, and his gaze gave the agent and others a chill.
The prosecutor shook his head: "From the confession, Her Royal Highness did not know, and she accepted Waldo's stop at that time, did not take advantage of the situation to kill the clown, and returned the pursuit of the clown to the night watchman, without any worry that the clown would
She was found in advance and asked to be cured by you, Lord Bishop. Judging from this, she did not know clearly and must have been used by Lucien. But afterwards, according to Lucien, she wanted to seek her forgiveness. At present, it may be
Known.”
"That's good." Amorton said, "The professor and Lucien are really insidious and cunning, but compared to the professor's ruthlessness, Lucien seems young and naive, and he also wants to take Joel's family to the Kingdom of Holm.
Otherwise, why would my identity be exposed so quickly?"
The agent said angrily: "Lord Amorton, let us quickly announce the true identity of this hypocrite to the outside world and shatter the halo that surrounds him! Destroy his fake tomb! Turn him into someone who is hated by everyone in Alto.
criminal!"
"Then what? At the same time, tell everyone that the church is an idiot and a fool? The "Ode to Joy", which is known as a song that strongly praises the true God, is often performed in churches. It is actually the work of the devil and is mocking the Lord? This kind of
Things that shake the foundation of believers must not happen." Amorton said in a cold tone, "Anyway, the great musician is dead. No matter he has the same name, the same surname, or the same appearance, he is still a magician, and he can change his appearance with magic.
Teacher, has nothing to do with musicians."
"Lord Amorton, what do you mean?" the magistrate said thoughtfully.
Amorton did not answer his question, but continued: "Inform the Holm Diocese about Lucien and ask them to pay close attention to it. At the same time, send a few night watchmen there. They should be happy to see their old friends.
