Vol 2 Chapter 7: Enlightened
Suddenly encountering this kind of thing, Lucian's hidden bad taste factor almost broke out and almost shouted to serve the people as an answer. Fortunately, he restrained himself in time. He bent slightly to lift Poker, and said gently: "This is What every conscientious person should do. "
The coachman of the Holm Kingdom would do such a dramatic thing. Is it because of the popular opera here?
Polk didn't have a poet's cell, and he repeatedly said "thank you", "thank you", "hope", "survival", "farmer", "harvest" and so on. After he repeated it several times, he finally came back to his senses, hurriedly "Mr. Evans, please get in the carriage, I'm really sorry for the delay."
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about us." Lucian looked around casually, and found that many passengers boarding and getting on the train were curiously watching this, and did not understand why Polk would make a church like worship, confession or formally meet the Pope, The etiquette of the king, is it the king of any country who secretly visits by magic steam train?
波 Led by Polk, Lucian and Arthur boarded a carriage painted with the royal magenta coat of arms, while Arthur's guards scattered and followed.
"This muddy leg in the countryside has never seen the world. For a bumper harvest, this etiquette was performed for unqualified people. Regardless of etiquette, the royal family's face was lost!" Arthur thought a little angrily, and then he smiled. With this, he whispered to compliment Lucien, "Fortunately, there are few ordinary people who dare to approach in the six-mons star platform, otherwise people will be seen in this manner of treating Evans to you and will be put in prison. . The harvest is really the farmer's greatest hope. Evans, if you bring them a bumper harvest, it means to be a harvest angel in their hearts. "
Lucien looked at the wooden boards that separated the carriage and the coachman as if through perspective, and smiled, "According to some historical documents, after the establishment of the theology of truth, the gods that followed the human race were death and the sun. , Moon, life, and harvest (hunting), and then gradually evolved more and more rich and diverse gods, and now there are only a dozen countries northwest of the Dark Mountains. "
Human worship of the gods originated in the obscurity period. Before the magicians dominated, they died out because of the hostile environment full of horror creatures. In addition to the legend, only a small number of mural-like records have been passed down, and at the same time, human beings are also at the same time. In the lower and middle layers of the food chain, some people with natural mental strength slowly figured out the ability to cast spells that mimic the pattern and structure of magical creatures, and then gradually rose.
For many years afterwards, there were no traces of gods and churches in the magic empire. To do similar research, you must attack other intelligent races or explore different dimensions.
When the theology of truth emerged, there were also churches that believed in other gods. They joined forces to defeat the magic empire, but were destroyed by the backhand of the stronger truth theology. Only part of it escaped in the country northwest of the Dark Mountains. Fighting, coexisting in subtle relationships with countries of other races.
I heard Lucian talk about things in this regard, and used "richness" to describe the gods, Arthur was afraid to intervene. Although he communicated with the magician brightly, and had great doubts about the church after the modification of the god-giving theory, and his faith was shaken again, he still had a lot of awe for the education of the **** of truth from childhood to age. .
Balussian noticed his expression, and casually shifted the topic to Minerals and Harvest Company, and the atmosphere was harmonious and the conversation was very happy.
Uh ...
晚 The dinner party was held in a private villa on the banks of the Verosa River in Lentat, facing the river covered with fine gold, like a river of light, and backed by a beautiful natural garden with beautiful scenery.
Inside the villa, Lucien met Natasha's Prince Patrick again. He was a bit thinner than a year ago, unlike a middle-aged man who was very young and prone.
"Welcome back, Evans, you were a lot earlier than I expected." Patrick, holding a glass of red wine, hid under the protection of a few servants on the balcony, blowing the cool wind over the river, "I have always wanted to be like you all over the mainland Travel, go to different places, and experience different customs. Unfortunately, my body doesn't allow me to do this. By the way, how is my dear niece now? Are you happy? Have you grown up again? "
Balussian smiled and replied, "His prince, Natasha, she has already grown up a long time, but slowly came out of the shadow."
After a casual chat about Natasha, Alto, and travel news, Patrick patted Lucian on the shoulder: "Evans, come, before the dinner begins, I will introduce some friends to you . "
He looks good today and doesn't cough as often as he used to.
Taking Lucien through the banquet hall, Prince Patrick nodded secretly to several nobles, then entered a lounge, followed by three well-dressed nobles and a middle-aged man in a black magic robe Man.
"This is Count Haison, the Kingdom's Treasurer." Patrick pointed at an old man in a white wig without any subtle attitude. He had sharp blue eyes.
"This is Russell, Duke of Wolfsburg, and James, Duke of Paphos, and they are all members of the aristocratic council."
Wolfsburg and Paphos are the more prosperous counties of the Holm Kingdom. The two dukes on the side of the town look like they are in their prime, one with blond half-length hair, handsome and handsome, and one with a vicious appearance. At the same time, he shaved himself, but according to Lucian's knowledge, in fact, they are not young, and still maintain a young appearance because of the strength of the Sky Knight.
In the end, Patrick pointed at the dark-haired, black-eyed magician with a slight smile: "He is Viscount Harrison of Holm's Royal Magi Court, and is also a member of the Wizarding House, a member of the aristocratic council, and is famous Illusionist, alchemist, Lucian, should you have heard of it? "
Balussian lightly swung his head, signalling that he had indeed heard of it. According to the private agreement of the church and the nobles, in the case of another heir, the magician cannot inherit the title, at most he becomes a member of parliament at all levels, and because the "other heir" covers a very wide range, many distant members with little blood relationship They are qualified, so basically no magician can inherit the title of his own family. At most, he will learn magic after becoming a nobleman. Only a few lucky people can inherit the title of magician by chance, such as Harry in front of him. Viscount Mori.
He is even more envious of the magicians that when he inherited the title, he was only a magician of the fifth ring. As a result, with the wealth of the Viscount family and his own ability, he was promoted to a higher rank in fifteen years.
However, Lucian heard that he was due to another thing. He actually refused to join the elemental will, but became a high-level wizard house. This is an incredible thing for the people of Holm's royal magic court. It seems that he likes illusion over alchemy.
After introducing the nobles, Prince Patrick coughed a few times and smiled and said to them: "I think you should guess who he is. Let us welcome the youngest Holm crown winner, the talented arcanist, Lucian the Wizard? Mr. Evans. "
The bald-headed Duke of James showed an intimate smile at Lucien with interest, while the other three nobles kept their unique reservations, only slightly with their heads.
"Mr. Evans, I am very envious of Arthur. He actually won the cooperation with you. It's a pity that Jin Yaola is just like a bag of gental." The Duke of James said bluntly, "I don't know what else you have recently Research? I think we can cooperate well. "
"I'm sorry, Duke James. I just returned from my mission to Arlinge and haven't conducted any new research." Naturally, Lucian wouldn't go into the details.
James didn't mind, he laughed and said, "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate. By the way, I have recently tried a new product with Harrison. Are you interested in joining?"
"What is it?" Before Lucian replied, Count Haison, the finance minister, spoke like a shark smelling blood, and spoke with interest.
Harrison smiled with a red wine glass: "The storm ’s electromagnetic communication is a very good thing. It allows two people to talk directly over a long distance. Although it is easy to be disturbed, noise may appear from a long distance, but it is enough. It's used every day and it's a lot cheaper than the teleportation array! "
"Think about how wonderful it is to be able to share joy with your friends in the city as soon as you hunt in the forest, not to mention the application of communication and negotiation. In a shorter time, more A quick response means a greater advantage. "
He is not as gloomy and misty as most illusionists, referring to money and products as radiant.
"But it is a level 5 magic item, and not many people can afford it." The Duke of Russell shook his head and was not very optimistic about their prospects. In Holm, there are many magic items, and due to the price, most of them Nobles can only choose what is needed or needed.
"Of course. So we are trying to simplify, such as replacing the constant magic array with a magic array that stores current energy. This way, although the use time becomes limited, the price will be much lower, and the magic council converts the river power into electricity. The more and more magic towers are built, as long as I find a way to introduce them into our home, I can easily restore the energy of the items. Now I have only one problem. No matter what, this is also the magic of the fifth ring. It is cheaper to lower the price. Nowhere, I'm trying to improve it. "
"If it succeeds, it can also circumvent some of the exclusive rights of the storm to dominate this magic and reduce a lot of costs."
Harrison was a little distressed and authentic. He was not good at electromagnetic magic, so he turned his eyes to Lucien. "Our genius, what's your opinion on this? Have you simplified the magic?"
"Not for now." Lucien once tried to simplify. After reducing the magic of the fifth ring to the level of the second ring, it would become a "intercom" within a few hundred meters or a "radio". .
The first time I met, several nobles did not expect anything from Lucian, this was related to the final magic item, which was naked money!
After a while of discussion, the topic shifted to the recent Kingdom. Lucian listened a little boringly while they criticized the Minister of Home Affairs for being too procrastinating. After a while, he accused the chairman of the aristocratic parliament as an outright conservative and sold it to the church , And viciously guessed that because he was too old and was approaching the end of life, he had to hold the church's thigh tightly, hoping to go to Paradise Mountain after death Isn't it boring? "Harrison walked to Lucien with a wine glass." But listening is not a bad thing, at least it can help us distinguish who can win and who must be suppressed. This circle is considered an enlightened representative in the kingdom. "
Kushiro took a sip of "Sky Blue" and smiled gently: "Let's relax and learn the magic."
"Yes, the young man who is very calm, it is no wonder that he can get the Holm Crown Prize at a young age. After a while, I will show you more advanced magicians, which will be a magical road for you in the future. His progress was very helpful. "Harrison saw Patrick personally introduce Lucian, understand that he is a pro-nobility in the magic council, and has a close relationship with the prince, so he appropriately expressed goodwill.
Balussian laughed unavoidably: "Thank you, Viscount, for your kindness."
The topics of the two gradually turned to magic, and speaking, Harrison brought up Isabella's paper. It seems that the Arcanist who reviewed the paper and let it pass leaked the news, so that Many magicians knew this before the issue of the journal.
"This is a superficial understanding. She only saw the surface reactions of illusion on the human body, but forgot what those alchemical substances are secreted." Harrison explained her point to Lucian a little bit with excitement and indignation, "Soul and soul, this is the deep foundation of illusions! The human heart is changeable and difficult to speculate. No matter how advanced the research of arcane research is, it is impossible to fully analyze psychological activities. Only illusions can use them!" (Unfinished To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to mobile phone (), reward, your support is my biggest motivation.)
