Throne of Magical Arcana

November is the month of severe winter, and the cold winds of the north of Antivler appear to be steep, and it seems to become an ice world at any time.

The clear and light blue Donati River passes through the city, and the garden villa of the Earl of Mechelen is located on a highland by the river, backed by the "Saxon Wall" carved with countless reliefs, overlooking the quiet and flowing beauty river.

This is a villa with a classical column structure, which complements the conservative and rigid architectural style of the sacred Hertz Empire, but as Lucian walks through the garden full of lilac "Ice Snow Flower" and steps into the villa hall, it is found inside. Extreme luxury, wavy curves, broken eaves, unique structure, and exquisite details all create an exaggerated sense of distance and layering, which is the luxurious and cumbersome architectural form that originated in the ancient Syracuse Kingdom.

The large-scale murals on the surrounding walls and ceilings with the theme of "sexy beauty", together with the piles of strong men's statues, create a flamboyant atmosphere.

Lucien is also a half-artist and preliminary psychoanalyst. While appreciating this strange and contradictory building that is different from the Principality of Vaorit, the Kingdom of Holm, and the Shahran Empire, he secretly evaluates: " The young generation of nobles seem to have strong dissatisfaction with the rigid and conservative old style of the entire empire, and began to yearn for the romantic and deluxe life of the neighboring Syracuse Kingdom. "

"Well, this is a great benefit to Parliament and the Kingdom of Holm."

Whether it is the city of Allinge where the Magic Council is located, or the affected Holm Kingdom, the Principality of Calais and other places, it is currently showing a vibrant development trend, and the popularity of alchemy items will also bring a large social structure Compared with the changes in humanistic thoughts, the younger generation of the Hertz Empire and all the nobles in the Kingdom of Syracuse are almost "drunk and dreaming."

Although in this world, it is the high-ranking and above who decide to win, but without the continuous supply of backup power, the high-ranking and legendary people cannot remain immortal, and there will be a fault of strength someday.

"So, born of anxiety, died of happiness ..." Lucian dragged an ancient sentence in his heart, and then walked to the owner of the banquet, Denny Meklen, with a polite and elegant smile.

"Dear Borak, I thought you wouldn't come." The handsome Denny had long blond hair, and the red formal dress was specially cut and decorated with many cumbersome details. There are hollow patterns, there are A mysterious ruby ​​pin with a thin silver chain.Seeing him, Lucien was like seeing a "postmodernist artist".

According to Borak's description, this Deni is indeed an "artist" who loves oil painting and sketching, jewelry and costume design. Similarly, he also has many common problems with artists, like men, and likes to think of himself as a slender and perfect "female" .

But Lucien understands that this Deny cannot be underestimated. He is the first strongman among the younger nobles of Antilles who stepped into the rank of Grand Knight, but now only twenty-seven years old, he is already a fifth-level big Knight, and the bloodline of the awakening is still a very strong "thunderbolt".

Resisting discomfort, he gave Hug a soft hug, and Lucian smiled, "Why don't I come?"

Deni covered his mouth and smiled softly: "It's just an intuition, men are rude and fragile guys. I'm worried that you can't help arguing with Alten. Before entering the underground palace, it is reasonable to 'kick' you out, then he will be much easier, and a group of scattered sand monkeys will only surrender to his monkey king's feet. "

The stomach twitched a little, and Lucien tried to make her smile less rigid, and smiled without a little "fear": "The monkey is just a monkey after all."

Denny's light brown eyes looked at Lucien slightly with surprise: "Borac, have you gained anything recently? I found that you are completely different from some time ago, and I can feel your confidence."

Lucien smiled and said nothing, trying to make herself "unpredictable".

Deny smiled sharply: "Things seem to be very interesting, I started to consider whether to follow in. Bolak, please please me, I will help you kill Alten."

The reason why Borak will accept the invitation is to win over the powerful helper Deni without stimulating the blood power.

"... Maybe Alten will have other helpers." Lucien "expressed" a little rejoicing.

Deny said aloud: "Don't be too happy, I haven't figured out whether I should attend, or should I help you, my family is still immortal, but he is very optimistic about Alten.

He came to please me, and Lucien couldn't help looking up at the ceiling. In fact, I really don't need help ...

"Isn't this my dear cousin Borak?" An exaggerated strong voice came from the door.

Lucien, who had heard the sound when he was secretly observing, turned and looked over, and saw a tall blond man in a gorgeous military gown walking in with a tall and beautiful brunette lady.

The military dress is light black, with a golden ribbon on the right chest, and a row of medals on the left, with a white shirt and white waistcoat. The elegant, light blue evening gown revealed white tender shoulders and a dazzling milky white, seduce the eyes of most men-Denny also looked there, but his eyes were full of envy and envy.

Lucian looked at the blond man and said with a smile: "Alten, keep the image of an elegant and stable aristocrat. I do n’t want others to think that our members of the Gorse family like to yell at the banquet occasion, there is no point Noble demeanor. "

"You ..." Alten's eyes were fixed, and in the past few years, Borak, who was afraid or shrinking or angry and daring to speak directly, even sneered directly. Duda said it was true, he really had a great Variety!

So Alten squeezed out a smile: "Dear cousin, it is useless to have aristocratic demeanor. Our glory comes from our blood, which cannot stimulate our own blood, and even does not have the qualification to imitate aristocratic demeanor, and you still No oil painting, no music, no piano, no poetry, no elegant art, how is this different from ordinary citizens on the street? No, there is a big difference, at least many of them will Musical instruments! "

When Borak was full of enthusiasm, he patronized and contacted other noble children to attend various banquets. How could he have time to learn art? After being overtaken by Alten, he was completely immersed in knight training. Instead, they were laughed at by many nobles as rude barbarians!

Lucien attending the banquet just keeps Borak ’s habit, not to be seen by the old guys, has no interest in this boring "fighting game", and according to the gloomy character Borak developed in recent years, he will definitely Concealing the strength of the knight in order to maximize the benefits when in the underground palace, so he smiled and raised his eyebrows: "The winner is the winner."

"Really? Dear cousin, I heard that you often go to the underground black market recently, and I must have gotten some good things, so I seem to be so confident, but the help of external forces is always only external forces, and there is no way to go further." Alten Intentionally revealing that he has mastered the whereabouts of Borak, making him look confident and majestic.

As he said, he held out his hand and hugged the woman next to him tightly: "And a woman with vision and wisdom, such as Jocelyn, would choose me without hesitation."

Looking at Jocelyn, who blushed and bowed her head, Lucian suddenly had strange thoughts. The really "smart" lady would probably make herself a strong man, and then dragged the man she fancy to back.

While Lucien wondered what attitude she should look like in the face of this situation, the hall suddenly quieted down, and there was a pure blond hair wearing a white lace-ed evening dress like an elf at the door. Girl, she is not tall, elegant and lively, followed by an old grandmother in a black dress.

"Welcome to my banquet, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia." Deny stepped forward to greet and kissed his hand respectfully.

Her Royal Highness ... Lucien found herself very fateful of princesses. She met the princess of the Principality of Valorit, the princess of the elven king's court, and now the princess of the Holy Hertz Empire.

Sophia smiled coquettishly: "Denny, if you don't play a song yourself, I don't think you are welcoming me from the heart."

Denny pinched the orchid and said, "I hate it, I can't play well, and so many people are watching, I should invite a man to play."

Lucien almost spit out, his eyes slightly raised, and suddenly collided with the old grandmother's eyes.

The old mother narrowed her eyes, and seemed to see Lucien's knight strength.

"I'd love to play a song for your Highness the Princess." While Deny and Sophia's two "good sisters" were talking and laughing, Alten stood out abruptly, and Jocelyn's face suddenly became slightly ugly.

As we all know, Princess Sophia is an avid piano lover, but because she has no knight strength and musical talent, she plays very poorly. At the same time, she is also the second heir to the empire, a fifth-level blood warlock, and countless noble children. In pursuit of her.

Deny was stunned. He was only joking, and Sophia's clear and green eyes were smiling gracefully without a trace: "I am looking forward to your performance, Alten."

Alten walked excitedly to the piano in the center of the hall and played the music skillfully.

Lucian couldn't help rubbing her forehead. Isn't this "Dedicated to Sylvia"?

Soon, the music ended, and the nobles present applauded. Although Alten was not good at music, it was still very easy to play a piano song with the control and special training of the Grand Knight It is another matter to have a high level of affection.

Seeing Princess Sophia's beautiful smile, her green eyes gleaming and dreaming, Alten stood proudly and bowed to salute, then looked provocatively at Borak, see, you rude barbarian, even if he became the Duke of Gorse, Shame on the family too!

Lucien thought about Borak's impulsive reaction, stood smiling, and saluted Sophia: "Your Royal Highness, can you improvise for you?"

"You?" Denny and Alten said at the same time in surprise, suspecting they had been in illusion.

Sophia's disappointed expression flashed away, keeping the royal family elegant and smiling: "I was really surprised, I didn't expect you to stand up, but if you can play beautiful piano music with Bolak, then I treat myself Will be full of confidence again. Can you give faith? "

Her eyes turned, her pink lips lightened, her fragrance slightly revealed, and no one seemed to be able to resist her charm.

"Please listen carefully to your high princess." Lucien has a heart and has no feeling for her amazing charm. She smiled and turned to the front of the piano, her hands pressed on the black keys, and then gently jumped.

A beautiful melody of obvious impromptu sounded slowly, Deny opened his mouth wide, could not believe that this was a rude barbarian, and Alten's face was irony, doubting that Borak might have benefited from the black market, maybe with the strength of a knight?

After dozens of seconds of music ended, Sophia smiled gracefully and applauded: "I am full of confidence in myself again, Borak, I can't think of you also having excellent musical talent."

Walking to Sophia, Lucian smiled politely: "I have a secret about this matter."

"Oh? What? Can you tell me?" Sophia blinked curiously.

Gentleman Lucien said: "Of course, but only to tell you, Princess Highness."

Other nobles around clearly saw that the bastard was trying to get close to the princess, but for the time being, they could only watch, what secret would it be?

Sophia turned her head and smiled: "I can't wait."

Lucien leaned her lips in her ears and whispered: "If you only play the black keys, you can also pretend that your princess can play the piano."

"Poof ..." Sophia thought for a moment and suddenly lost her smile, her smile as beautiful as the blooming flowers, attracting Alten and others' complicated eyes on Lucien.

Because the black key is equivalent to a five-tone tone, there are no complicated and rugged notes, and there will be more classical melodies in random improvisation.
