Vol 4 Chapter 10: Enchanted life
The vast villa is surrounded by a high wall. Black iron railings form the outermost gate. Two soldiers wearing silver-gray chain mail are guarded by the gate. The noble carriage opened the iron door.
"It seems to be a prom?" Lucian is not a research mad magician who does not understand the common sense of life among nobles. Combined with the bright lights of the villa, he can determine at a glance what is going on inside.
After a little hesitation, wasn't he coming back later, Lucian quickly made up his mind and came to the door anyway, still worried about what he was worried about?
The magic wave flickered inscrutablely, and Lucien walked to the door unhurriedly.
Because the aristocrats valued decentness and grace, the ball would come in a carriage regardless of how close it was to their home, so Lucien, who was approaching like a civilian, was obviously not an invited guest, and the two soldiers would come forward to stop .
But at this moment, they suddenly felt that Lucien was full of majesty, personable, and with the Hofenberg family crest on his chest, apparently a nobleman in a very high position, so he bowed his head and opened the door to welcome the guest.
"Simple spells can pass the guard ..." As Lucian entered the gate, he shook his head slightly, and using a knight to serve the gate could only defend ordinary people. Fortunately, there were knights in the kingdom's intelligence department in the dark, but they knew each other without a doubt. For yourself, "You have to find an opportunity to arrange a vigilant magic trap to prevent the church from attacking Uncle Joel."
Although the church does not act as careless as a cult like the Silver Horn, it is always good to be prepared, and there are many lunatics in the night watchman.
The weather in July is very hot, but it ’s still cool in the evening with Lentat, which is only a few hours away from the sea. Lucien, who is bathed in the evening breeze, walks on the Garden Avenue and smells the strong floral fragrance, as if blended into the shadows. Several noble carriages who came to the party behind failed to find such a walker by the road.
The garden is not that big, Lucien soon came to the three-story villa, and all the magic crystal lights inside it were bright and dazzling, making the villa look beautiful, and the common night scenes on the earth are here. With the breath of gold and splendor.
之上 On the steps of the villa, Elisa was still so strong that she held the Alto-style court dress tightly, and greeted several guests with several maids.
"There are more Miss Nobles than normal ..." Lucian was slightly puzzled, then took a soft breath and walked directly to Alissa.
With a smile on Elisa's face, she looked cheerfully at a noble lady who came to the ball, and greeted the guests warmly. After many years of noble life, she no longer held her hands like the past and looked decent, and Her son, John, was a great knight brought by her Majesty from Aalto, and was obviously reused. She was responsible for the affairs of some teams of the Knights of the Sword of Truth, and the nobles naturally gave her a glance and took pride in participating in her dance.
"Viscount Turner, Madam, Miss Karin, welcome to the dance." Alyssa welcomed the new guests with a smile on her face, and was especially enthusiastic about the tall and slender young girl, who had something different from Holm Style blonde with blue eyes.
Viscount Turner knew the purpose of the party, and nodded with a smile: "It is our pleasure to be able to participate in your party, Madam."
凯 Kelin also responded politely and politely.
"There is still some time at the start of the ball, take the Viscount Turner to rest in the small living room." Alisha ordered the servants around her.
When the Turner family entered, Alisa was full of smiles again, ready to welcome new guests, but the familiar dark-haired, black-eyed man on the steps let her hold her, the smile on her face solidified on her face, dare not Rubbing his eyes in conviction, he was still dreaming
He has never seen him wear a black double-breasted long dress, but it fits like that. It contrasts with his temperament. The child in his heart seems to become a mature and stable man in an instant. It turned red suddenly, mouth opened slightly, and yelled, "Little Evans?"
"Alissa 婶婶." Lucian calmed his emotions and walked towards Alissa with a smile.
Alisa still looks like a dreamer. She shook her head in disbelief, and the surprise of meeting again was entangled with the shame that had informed him: "Little Evans?"
怎么 "What's wrong? Alisa 婶婶 Don't you know me?" Lucian grinned.
Baluchien's kind and undisturbed attitude made Alisa's other emotions disappear, leaving only excitement and joy. She forgot the noble manners she had worked hard in recent years, and cried like she was in the slums.
揉 While rubbing her eyes, she said very quickly: "Little Evans, have you really come back to see us? I thought you hated me for betraying you."
"That's what I asked you to do, didn't you?" Lucian hugged Alissa with a smile. "In my heart, you are like my family."
噢 "Oh, this, this is really good." Alisa looked at Lucian excitedly. "Little Evans, you have grown taller, so much higher than before!"
Her right hand was tremblingly taller than Lucien's original height. After years of depression and self-blame finally came out, she waited for Lucien to answer and pulled him in: "I have to, I have to tell Joel, tell Little John, little Evans is finally back! "
The servant next to me looked curiously at the hostess' tears, and did not dare remind her that she had to welcome the guests, so she had to go to the housekeeper to support the scene.
Along the way, Alissa cried and cried, thinking that Lucian was tall, but she was thin and stunned, attracting a lot of guests and wondering what happened.
As she approached the small living room, Alissa stopped her tears, took out a white handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and then patted her forehead: "I, I forgot, Little John is still on duty at the Nexar Palace. After a while, Joel was invited by the Musicians' Association to return! "
"It's okay, I'll wait a minute ..." Before Lucian finished speaking, Alisa turned around on her own, excited and flustered, "I have to tell them, tell them you are back, and tell them right away. They! Little Evans, go to the small living room and rest. I'll call them! "
After she said that, she hurried to the study location, and forgot to lead Lucian to the small living room.
Seeing that she was so excited and helpless, Lucian didn't mind being "forgotten" by her. Instead, she shook her head with a smile, her heart was warm, and she should have returned.
Without any restraint, Lucian seemed to be returning to his own home, and walked into the small living room without fail. He saw the Viscount Turner's family and several other aristocratic guests. They were connecting with each other's feelings with a slightly curious look. Looking at the stranger Lucien.
中央 In the center of the living room, a strange and delicate machine rotates the black disc, with melodious and clear music, which fills the room with a romantic and elegant atmosphere.
Gently nodded and greeted, Lucian walked familiarly to the wall, opened the hidden magic refrigerator, and the crystal lamp inside lighted up in stress, reflecting the refrigerated champagne and other drinks.
Lucien calmly pulled out the champagne stopper, poured himself a half cup, and then took out the small ice cubes from the upper layer of the magic refrigerator. As he closed the door of the magic refrigerator, a male voice in the voice-changing period came from behind: "This is The magic refrigerator, the alchemy item invented by the great Lord Lucian Evans, allows us to enjoy the refreshing cold at any time in the hot summer. "
what? His name was spoken in this way from other populations, and Lucian felt very weird, and for a moment did not know how to answer.
The 13- or 4-year-old boy wearing a small suit had a typical Holm-style look, dark hair, blue eyes, profound features, and a slight appearance. He saw that Lucien did not answer, and thought he did not know the magic refrigerator. He introduced him enthusiastically: "This kind of magic refrigerator has very little output, which can only be enjoyed by large nobles and a few ordinary noble families. It is the crystallization of the popularization and living of alchemy products. I also saw it at other banquets. "
呃 "Uh, the popularization and living of alchemy items is the idea put forward by the great alchemist, His Excellency Lucian Evans, which has fundamentally changed our lives, hasn't it?"
The little boy seemed to admire Lucien and was very cheerful.
当然 "Of course, I like this life." Lucian smiled at the little boy.
The little boy got approval and was very happy: "Viscount Wellesley is one of Her Majesty's most valued knights. His family has many novel alchemy items. For the time being, the alchemy items belong only to the nobles. My cousin likes that magic. Gramophones, which allow us to enjoy all kinds of wonderful music without a band, and even fall asleep with the music. "
指 He pointed to Karin when he spoke, and his cousin seemed to refer to her, and Wellesley was John's last name.
Kelin saw Lucian's gaze followed the little boy's gesture, and smiled politely: "It wasn't long before the magic gramophone was invented. I also saw it for the first time and liked it very much."
The little boy cheerfully added: "This is also the design idea proposed by His Excellency Evans."
Lucian nodded slightly, and he was much clearer than him. A few years ago, he told the seniors of Elemental Will that he had explained the magic gramophone. I hope that the magic array that can store sounds can be simplified, but I ca n’t find good storage materials. It was unsuccessful. It wasn't until a few months ago that Gaston's "Biosynthesis Laboratory" stumbled upon a natural resin material that could be used for simplicity before the magic gramophone actually appeared in this world.
"In fact, Viscount Wellesley's house also has a special kind of alchemy." Karin also seemed to like this magical life, and was interested in the little boy's endless narrative, pointing to the high hanging in the room. Silver-gray box: "I've seen it at a banquet at the Duke of James's house. It's a magic air conditioner that cools the summer, and in the winter, it can match the fireplace to dispel the cold isn't it?" Going to the magic air conditioner at a high place, his eyes were wide open and he looked at the top with a cheerful look.
Kelin smiled and said, "You can feel its cool breeze, and it is also a masterpiece of Lord Arcanist Lucian Evans."
噢 "Oh, really, it's great!" The little boy circled in excitement. "Cousin Karin, I must learn magic in the future. I want to be a great magician and alchemist!"
Viscount Turner joked about his nephew: "Huck, fight for the Holm Crown Award."
"Well." The little boy shook his finger smugly. "The Holm Crown Award is not my goal, but the Lucian Evans Award! When you come to the party later, someone asks who it is and you will be honored. Introduce, this is Mr. Hawke, winner of the Evans Arcane Award, oh, tell you, cousin Karin also wants to win the Lucian Evans Award, but her goal is the Evans Medical Award. "
"If there are two Evans Award winners in our family, 啧, it's so respectful." Turner smiled at his daughter.
I was exposed by Hawke in front of a stranger, and Karin was a bit shy, shifted the topic, and asked Lucian: "This gentleman, I don't know what to call you?"
Baluchien rubbed his chin with his right hand: "You can call me Lucien Evans."
