After turning on the electromagnetic communication array, a mature and pleasant female voice came from the monocle, "Lucien?"
Lucien was stunned for a moment and didn't realize who it was. It wasn't until the other party spoke again that he remembered that she was Ms. Florence, a member of the Affairs Committee and the wife of the Grand Arcanist Oliver.
"Ms. Florence, do you want to see me?" Lucien asked doubtfully.
Florence smiled coquettishly and said: "Do you think I am very free? Who would contact you if you have nothing to do? What do you think of Oliver's paper? You should have seen this issue of "Arcana", right?"
Lucien was even more confused. You can just discuss this kind of matter with your husband privately. Why bother asking me, an outsider? However, Lucien immediately remembered that the couple seemed to have a conflict, so he smiled and said: "I saw it, and it has already happened."
We have discussed it with Monsignor Laventier and Monsieur Gaston. If you don’t mind, ma’am, I’ll just start talking?”
"Okay." Florence replied simply.
After exchanging her views on this paper, Florence was silent for a moment, and her pleasant voice was slightly lowered: "Lucien, is Oliver asking you to cooperate in composing an opera? You'd better not agree."
"How do you know?" Florence found out about Oliver's private plan to please his wife? This surprised Lucien. It couldn't be kept secret, right?
There was a hint of lightness and pride in Florence's suppressed voice: "He always complained that Holm didn't have real musicians to adapt his plays into excellent operas, so if he wanted to write a new
If you come to please me with opera, how could you possibly let go of you, a master who ranks very high in the history of music?"
"Then how do you know that he wants to use opera to please you?" Lucien finally understood that Florence had inferred it based on her understanding of her husband and the tacit understanding between the couple, so he asked curiously as he had just started his love life.
road.
Florence gave a sweet laugh, which seemed to contain very complicated emotions: "He is like this every time, either hand-made jewelry or emotional poems, or new operas. The first two ways to please are the same the last two times.
After using it, it is easy to tell that it is a new opera based on his character that will not be repeated in a short period of time."
"Then madam, why don't you let me agree? Don't you want to forgive him?" Lucien patted his face after asking. How could he ask such a question directly? Sure enough, he also has a gossipy side.
Florence laughed without a smile, and said with a hint of bitterness in her teasing: "After you wrote "For Sylvia", Sylvia died. What if you write another one like this?"
An opera that makes up for the relationship between husband and wife but causes the couple to separate. I think your love music will become a curse in people's hearts. It's for your own good that I ask you not to agree."
Lucien keenly captured the meaning of Florence's words: "Madam, do you want to dissolve your marriage to Mr. Oliver?"
"Yes." Florence replied silently, and then said as if she wanted to talk, "I tolerated it again and again, but he never really repented. I am tired and desperate, and I don't want to be entangled with him anymore.
.I have my own arcane and magic research, teachers, classmates, and friends. If I leave him, I will lose the value and meaning of life. Sometimes, love cannot cover everything. Maybe after separation, I can still find him.
New happiness."
She explained calmly, without breaking out in her voice or crying. Lucien could hear the determination and firmness in her words, as if they were decisions made after careful consideration rather than impulsiveness, so he did not try to persuade her, but smiled and said
: "Then I wish you madam a new life in advance."
However, judging from the familiarity and understanding of Oliver that Florence unconsciously revealed just now, can the bond between them be broken off so easily? Lucien is very doubtful.
Florence said in a low voice: "Lucien, you are such a good man. I often think that if I had not met Oliver at the beginning but waited until now to meet you who is more talented, loyal and gentle than him, my marriage would have been worse.
She should be so happy that it makes people jealous. I envy little Natasha very much.
She is a student of Morris, and Morris is a member of the Holm royal family, a junior whom Hathaway values, so she roughly knows the conversation between Lucien and Hathaway that day, and also knows how Lucien has refused in recent years.
All kinds of temptations.
"Thank you for the compliment." Although he received a good man card, Lucien, who already had a lover, didn't mind at all and thanked him with a smile.
Florence suddenly smiled coquettishly: "Actually, I once had the idea of revenge on Oliver. I was planning to find a good man like him to have a dual relationship of soul and body. Ha, one of my targets at that time was you.
Oh, but you completely ignore my charm, and I can't get over that mental barrier myself."
"Now that you have little Natasha, I won't know it anymore. I have suffered this kind of pain myself, and I will not let other girls suffer this kind of hurt that will never be forgotten. Lucien, treat it well."
Little Natasha, if you have another woman, then I will seduce her and make her leave you completely. Haha, she lost her mother when she was still underage, so she should like a mature woman like me very much."
Lucien rubbed his chin awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Madam, you said I was one of the targets, are there any other targets?"
Florence talked about it and felt much better. She suppressed her smile and said, "I have a very high vision. There are very few people who meet my requirements. Moreover, they must have a strong background and will not be killed by Oliver, so
,Except for you, I have thought about seducing my teacher. However, after careful analysis, the success rate should not be high. Lucien, you said that if my long skirt was studded with Heilan Stone, Sunstone, and Ice Crystal,
Stone, dragon skin and other precious materials, will the teacher be fascinated and seduced by me?"
Lucien directly pointed out: "I think Lord Morris will silently take off your long skirt, push you down on the bed, and then leave directly holding the long skirt."
"Haha! I think so too!" Florence was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Lucien raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that it was not good to arrange the elders behind him, so he hurriedly asked: "I haven't seen Sir Morris for a while. I wonder what research he is busy with?"
"You brought up the new alchemy method, and the teacher almost drooled. It is a field that can control the transformation of matter. If you really want to study it thoroughly, you can have as much treasure as you want, so he devoted himself to it.
"Florence said jokingly, but in fact, for Maurice, Donald, and Laventi, the nine-ring elemental faction archmage New Alchemy has allowed them to see the dawn of promotion to legend, how could they not be careful?
Research.
Lucien also replied with the same humor: "If Sir Maurice and Alfred were not one person and one dragon, I would suspect that Sir Morris is the illegitimate son of Alfred. He really has the desire to keep money like a dragon."
After chatting for a while, Florence wished her best: "Lucien will work hard to have a child with Natasha as soon as possible. If Oliver and I didn't like our world together at the beginning, maybe this would not be the ending now."
"The current situation is too dangerous and not suitable for having children. Moreover, it has only been less than a month since she was crowned, and there are still several years left before the urging and pressure." Lucien also told Natasha this idea. There will definitely be many changes in the next few years.
, being pregnant with a child can easily weaken her combat effectiveness and put her in danger, so wait until the situation in Holm is stable before considering this issue.
Natasha very much agreed with this. She hoped that she and Lucien could get married openly and let their children be born in a sound family.
As for the problem that the higher the level, the harder it is to conceive. The "forced conception technique" in the "Pink Book" was not developed for fun. It was created by a legendary magician in order to continue the bloodline. When I first saw this magic
, Lucien suddenly had a hallucination of "going to Arlinge Magic Hospital for infertility treatment".
After finishing the call with Florence, Lucien was a little hesitant. In terms of relationship, Florence is a student of Mr. Morris, and Mr. Morris is Natasha’s elder. They are considered to be in the same camp, so he should follow her instructions.
I requested and refused to cooperate with Mr. Oliver, but I had already agreed to it. Going back on it would be a bad behavior.
After thinking for a while, Lucien made a decision: "Put off the creation of the opera until after they dissolve their marriage. At that time, if Mr. Oliver still wants the opera and wants to get back together, then he will comply with Ms. Florence's request."
No more conflict."
"...···And Ms. Florence asked me not to compose. Does it mean that she is still a little shaken in her heart and is worried that she will waver under the offensive of the opera... I hope that the couple will not end in tragedy even if they divorce..."
Suddenly, the monocle became hot again. Lucien touched his brow helplessly and activated the communication circle.
"Lucien." Morris's voice came from inside his glasses.
Lucien said "Ah" and said with some embarrassment: "Good morning, Mr. Morris."
"Why are you acting weird?" Morris asked doubtfully.
Lucien twitched the corner of his mouth, not to mention that I had arranged for you with your students before, and he felt guilty for a moment: "Sir Morris, do you have a problem with me?"
"Have you seen the latest issue of "Arcana"?" Morris had the same question.
In this way, Lucien spent the whole morning discussing with familiar archmages and high-level mages, but Douglas and other legendary magicians did not contact him, because with their wisdom it was not difficult to see the problems with Oliver's paper.
It wasn't until noon that Lucien had some free time, preparing to continue reading the "Arcana" journal after lunch - if you don't study and pay attention to the latest papers, even if you have a soul library, you may make a big mistake.
At this time, Rock, wearing a short black dress, came in from the outside and knocked on the door of Lucien's office: "Lucien, are you free to chat?"
"Complete the mandatory mission?" Lucien happily motioned for him to come in.
Rock said relaxedly: "Of course, as a member of the Atomic Research Institute, the mandatory tasks assigned to me are very simple, and Lazar should be quick as well. Lucien, I came to you to tell you that with the arcane research
With the increase in projects, our Atomic Research Institute is running out of manpower and space."
"I will apply to the Magic Research Committee to merge all the spare laboratories on the 18th floor." Lucien said easily. He is already an unquestionable authority in the field of atomic research. This matter is not difficult to accomplish.
, Teacher Fernando no longer needs to come forward, "As for manpower, don't we have so many arcanists?"
Counting myself, there are ten arcanists.
Rock spread his hands: "There are just too many arcanists, and no one is there to help or do chores. When your students grow up, they will have their own research projects. Therefore, we need to recruit a group of magic apprentices.
"
"Then go to the mission area and post the mission, or contact the magic school and ask them to recommend elite apprentices." Lucien said a little suspiciously, "Why are you paying attention to this issue?"
Rock doesn't seem like someone who cares about this.
Rock laughed twice and answered honestly: "Seeing that you and Lazar seem to have a romantic destination, I feel a little anxious. And this is where I spend the most time, so I don't find an opportunity to introduce it."
How about fresh blood? Although several of your female students are good, they are all very picky by you. They all have eyes on their heads and they don’t like me at all."
"No force or intimidation is allowed." Lucien just reminded him.
Rock stood up with satisfaction: "According to what you said, I was looking for a partner for the purpose of getting married. How could I do that kind of thing? I went to the mission area to issue a mission. With the current reputation of our Atomic Research Institute, I am sure that countless apprentices will come before me."
Come and apply, uh, wouldn’t that be too much trouble?”
"Introduction review, written test, interview, three steps, layer by layer screening, I leave it to you anyway, I will supervise you occasionally." Lucien said in a wicked way, allowing the magic apprentices to experience the formal process of finding a job.
