Throne of Magical Arcana

The bright sunshine, slightly moist air, the scent of fish, the retro and elegant architecture, and the noisy crowds make up Lucien ’s biggest waterfront in the Kingdom of Holm, “Port Padre”. The first impression of the city.

Several carriages drove smoothly and slowly across the street. Lucian looked away from the window and looked back at Lazar, the magician who greeted himself and his apprentices.

"Oh, Mr. Evans, are you satisfied with the Kingdom of Holm?" Lazar asked with his signature smile as bright as the sun.

Lucien did not have the ubiquitous depression at this time, and he was very relaxed and answered humorously: "Ladies and young ladies are very beautiful, and their costumes are also very different from the mainland style. There are light long skirts, bright colors, beautiful lace and ruffles, folds, etc., but to my disappointment, they seem a little conservative, all the clothes are high-necked, only a fair neck is exposed. By the way, Lazar, just call me Evans. "

"Haha, Evans, this is something you don't know how to appreciate." Lazar uttered a laugh that all men understood. "I always think that conservatism and concealment can give people a greater desire to explore. Human nature is so easy to get things. I do n’t know how to cherish. "

Lucien nodded slightly: "But what impressed me the most is that whether the men or women of the Holm Kingdom like to wear a hat?" This is very rare in Aalto, often only clergy and up. Only older gentlemen like to wear soft hats.

"Evens, you observe very carefully, this is a good quality that a magician needs to have. In Holm, wearing a hat out is a courtesy, and you need to get used to it later, for example, the formal hats of ladies are behind There are wide-brimmed hats with beautiful long ribbons and tassels, and yarn hats with hazy veils, which are usually light and small soft hats inlaid with feathers and flowers. Men's hats are much simpler, and ordinary civilians wear dome hats and wide-brimmed hats. Hats, we gentlemen are top hats of varying heights, and daily soft hats. "

Lazar pointed to the top of his head. "Of course, tie, bow tie, suit or double-breasted dress is also an indispensable match.

Slowly closing the distance from Lazar with the conversation between men, Lucien changed the topic without revealing: "I don't know what restrictions the magician can use in the Kingdom of Holm?"

"It's like a sword. If you hurt someone, you'll be punished by law, but the official magician has the status equivalent to the Lord. For less serious things, you only need to pay a certain fine. As for the other, you see there." Lazar pointed out Out of the car window.

Lucien turned his head and saw that beside the fountain pool in a square, there were dozens of children surrounding a middle-aged man in a gray suit.He took his black bowler hat in his hand, and then kept pulling things out, flowers, bread, stones, etc., and finally flew out a group of white pigeons, causing the children to applaud and cheer happily.

"Magic trick, magic apprentice?" Lucien asked suspiciously because he was far away.

Lazar sipped his red wine and nodded with a smile: "Yes, since the parliament began to educate apprentices in school, the number of magic apprentices in several countries has grown rapidly, and more and more people cannot become official magicians. But they all understand words and have a wealth of knowledge, making it easy for them to get a good life. This apprentice should just like children and like to tease them. "

It is strange to know from the mouths of Astar and Tom that Lucien had a magic school in the council. He asked casually: "What is the proportion of magic apprentices who are promoted to formal magicians in the magic school?"

"It's a lot better than the ancient heritage. In the ancient magic empire, without a strong spiritual talent, you can only rely on potions and various dangerous magic rituals. Often there is not one of the 1,000 apprentices who can be an advanced magician. Now With the study of arcane, the spiritual requirements of apprentices have been reduced a lot. About five out of a hundred apprentices can become official magicians. "

Lazar looked at Lucien with a big smile: "However, this is not Evans you need to worry about. You are already a formal magician and have surpassed many apprentices. Just need to be careful, without prejudice. After studying arcane, I believe that you will be a qualified real magician in one or two years. By the way, what kind of magician are you? "

Lucien did not conceal: "I'm good at the magic of astrology and element system, but I haven't figured out what I will specialize in later."

"Oh, I happen to be an elemental mage and a member of" elemental will ". Have you heard of" elemental will "?" Lazar played with the empty wine glass in his hand.

Of course I have heard that I now have a Holm crown ring. Lucian smiled and replied: "Listening to Mr. Astar, do you want me to invite Lazar?"

"Haha, Evans, you think too much." Lazar quipped and said: "We are different from the organization of" Pale Hands "that absorbs both good and bad. All those who can join the" Elemental Will "are tested. Elite magicians need to have at least a formal arcanist level. Hey, they do n’t really need to discern good or bad for 'Pale Hands', anyway, what matters to them is the corpse. Use it. "

Lucian listened to Lazar ’s defamation and could only silently think that the “elemental will” and the “pale hand” were indeed contradictory, even Lazar ’s apparently not intermediate magician mentioned that the other endured Can't help but ridicule: "In this way, Lazar, do you have a formal arcanist level?"

Lucian wanted to say, "Lazaar, are you an elite sorcerer?" But thinking about it ironically, he asked the arcanist level instead.

Lazar ’s back was slightly straightened, and he stopped his right hand playing wine glass, trying to make his smile dull: “I improved a first-level elemental magic 'Lazar ’s Burning Hand’ earlier this year by the Arcane review of the Council. The committee's assessment earned two arcane points, plus the previous eight, and finally became a first-level arcanist and a second-ring magician. After that, he was absorbed as a member by the "element will". "

Although he tried his best to cover up, the tone and description clearly showed complacency and satisfaction.

"Lazare, do you look young?" Lucian didn't understand how difficult it is for the first-level magicians to gain arcane points, but was slightly surprised by Lazar's second-level magician level.

Lazar picked up the red wine bottle on the fixed wooden table between them and poured a little red wine into his glass again: "I just turned twenty-two, hehe, you are two years older than Evans."

Because his temperament is calm and not too immature, he is often misunderstood as being about twenty years old, and Lucien will also report his age as twenty, which is different from the 18-year-old musician Lucien Evans: "Lazar you are such a brilliant genius."

"Oh, nothing, I'm far from the real geniuses. For example, Mr. Ulysses in the" Elemental Will "has unimaginable talent in the field of elemental magic, 22 At the age of three, he has become a second-level arcanist and a middle-level magician. At the age of 33, he is a fourth-level arcanist and a five-ring elemental mage. There are many geniuses like him. Like Larry and Timothy in the organization. "

Lazar did not feel much jealousy about these geniuses, because their achievements had long since destroyed their minds compared to them.It ’s not a character who ca n’t be compared, and I do n’t need to be jealous. ”And the genius I admire most in the field of elemental magic, except for the great Arcanist, Lord Hathaway, is Princess Meredith of the Kingdom of Holm, She won the 'Holm Crown' award at the age of 23, and is a genius with a rare arcane level exceeding the magic level since the establishment of the Magic Council. After winning the award, she was only a ring of elemental wizards, and turned out to be a fourth-level arcane. It ’s a pity ... "

Touching the "Mo" ring in his pocket, Lucien had the feeling of hearing an acquaintance in a foreign country: "I know the story of Ms. Meredith, except for the last choice, it is heartfelt admiration. "

Lazar shook the wine glass, looking at the blood-red liquid in the transparent glass, and the smile became more and more bright: "I am also a member of the will of the elements. I replace Ms. Meredith, who passed away. Thank you Evans for your admiration. Ha ha, although we There is no idea to invite Evans to join you, but a genius who learns ancient magic can become a formal magician before the age of twenty. I think no organization will refuse to observe you. "

"In addition to the elemental will, in addition to the guidance of intermediate and advanced magicians, numerous arcane research materials, complete laboratories, sufficient materials and wealth, it is also possible to obtain two advanced rituals for legendary magic professions. The "element dominator" jointly owned by the Parliament and the Holm Royal Demon Court, one of which can only be advanced by studying the alchemy system and the element system, is also our unique "creator". "

"Evens, as long as you can obtain the official arcanist level before the age of thirty, the door of elemental will will be open!"

In fact, it may be more appropriate for me to replace Ms. Meredith. I am bored and slandered Lucien playing the Holm crown ring. I am satisfied that I did not receive the invitation directly.

In this regard, Lucien agrees with Astar's words. When the level is low, it is better to avoid being involved in competition within the Magic Council, study and research with peace of mind, and wait for the strength to grow and choose no later.

"I'm good at galaxies and elemental systems. If I want to join the organization in the future, I will definitely give priority to the will of the elements." Lucien tried his best to be sincere.

Seeing Lucien's position, Lazar nodded in satisfaction: "If you specialize in a galaxy, you can also choose the tower."

It seems that the relationship between "High Tower" and "Elemental Will" is not bad.

Then he looked outside: "Evens, are you going to play at 'Port Padre' for a few days, or go directly to Allinge."

"I can't wait to go to Allinge." Lucian replied without hesitation.

Lazar put the wine glass down with a smile, and then let the driver drive directly into an ordinary garden villa.

Just past the gate, the surroundings immediately became gray, as if the mist had fallen.

When he came out of the "haze", Lucien appeared in front of him completely unimaginable scenes, eight railroad tracks were laid in pairs in front of each other, a dark and gloomy eight "train" stopped at the place closest to him .

Apprentices such as Annick in the following carriages were shocked by this strange sight and made noisy noises.

"Welcome to the magic steam train bound for Allinge."

Lazar was satisfied with Lucien ’s surprise and extended his right hand to make an invitation.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
