Throne of Magical Arcana

The extremely large villa is surrounded by high walls, and a black iron railing constitutes the outermost gate. The gate is guarded by two soldiers wearing silver-gray chain mails. The noble carriage opened the iron door.

"It seems to be holding a ball?" Lucien is not a research mad magician who does not understand the common sense of life between nobles. Combined with the bright situation of the villa, he can judge at a glance what is inside.

After a little hesitation, was it possible to return later, Lucien quickly made up her mind, and came to the door anyway, worried about what to do?

The magic wave flashed slightly out of him, and Lucian walked slowly to the door.

Because the nobles valued decent and grace, no matter how close the party was to their home, they would come in a carriage, so Lucien, who was as close as the civilians, was obviously not an invited guest. The two soldiers looked at each other and prepared Stepped forward to stop.

But at this moment, they suddenly felt that Lucien was full of majesty and grace, and had the emblem of the Hoffenberg family on their chests. They were obviously nobles of extremely high status, so they bowed their heads and opened the door to welcome the distinguished guest.

"Simple spells can pass through the guard ..." Lucien shook his head slightly while entering the gate. Guarding the gate with a knight servant could only defend ordinary people. Fortunately, there were knights in the kingdom's intelligence department, but they had no doubt. Know yourself, "You have to find an opportunity to set up a vigilant magic trap to prevent the church from starting against Uncle Joel."

Although the church does not act as scrupulously as the horn of the silver horn, it is always good to be prepared, and there are many madmen in the night watchman.

The weather was fiery in July, but Luntat, which was only a few hours away from the seaside, was cooler at night. Lucien, bathed in the evening wind, walked on the Garden Route and smelled the rich floral fragrance, as if it was in the shadows Several noble carriages who had come to the party later failed to find such a walker on the roadside.

The garden is not large, and Lucien soon came to the three-story villa, and all the magic crystal lights in it were bright and dazzling, making the building look beautiful.

The common night scenes on the earth reveal a brilliant atmosphere here.

Above the steps of the villa, Alisa was still so strong that she supported the Alto-style court dress tightly, and took several maids to greet the guests one after another.

"Miss Aristocrat is more than normal ..." Lucien said to herself slightly suspiciously, then took a deep breath and walked directly to Alisa.

With a smile on her face, Alissa looked at a lady of nobility who came to the ball with joy and greeted them enthusiastically.

After many years of aristocratic life, she no longer looks as graceful as she was in the past, and her son John is a great knight brought from Aalto by Her Majesty the Queen, and is obviously reused. The nobles naturally glanced at her proudly, taking pride in participating in the ball she held.

"Viscount Turner, Madam, Miss Karin, welcome to the ball." Alisa greeted the new guests with a smile on her face, and was particularly enthusiastic about the tall, slender and tender girl, who was different from Holm. Blonde blue eyes in style.

Viscount Turner knew the purpose of Eliza ’s ball and nodded with a smile: "It is an honor to be able to participate in the ball you held at Madam."

Karin responded generously and politely.

"There is still some time for the ball to start. Take Viscount Turner and take a rest in the small living room." Alisa commanded the servant beside her.

When the Turner family entered, Alisa was full of smiles again, ready to welcome new guests, but the familiar black-haired black pupil man on the steps made her stunned, and the smile on his face froze unbelievably. Rubbed his eyes, a look still in his dream

I have never seen him wear a black double-breasted long dress, but it fits like that, and matches his temperament. The child in his heart seems to become a mature and stable man in an instant. Suddenly it turned red, his mouth slightly opened, and he shouted, "Little Evans?"

"Aunt Alyssa." Lucien stabilized her emotions and walked to Alyssa with a smile.

Alisa is still a dream, shook her head in disbelief, and the surprise of meeting again is entangled with the shame that once whistled: "Little Evans?"

"What's the matter? Aunt Alisa, don't you know me anymore?" Lucien chuckled.

Lucien's gracious and undisturbed attitude made Eliza's other emotions disappear, leaving only excitement and joy. She forgot the aristocratic demeanor that she had worked so hard in the past few years and cried like she was in the ghetto.

She rubbed her eyes and said very quickly: "Little Evans, did 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 smiled at Aunt Alisa. "In my heart, you are like my family."

"Oh, this, this is really great." Alisa looked at Lucien excitedly. "Little Evans, you have grown taller, so much higher than before!"

Her right hand was trembling compared to Lucien ’s height. After years of oppression and self-blame, she finally expressed her. Before Lucien answered, he took him and walked inside: "I have to, I have to tell Joel, Tell Little John that Little Evans is finally back! "

The servant beside looked at the hostess's tears curiously, not daring to remind her that she had to welcome the guests, and had to find a butler to support the scene.

Along the way, Alissa cried and nagged, thinking that Lucien was tall, but thin and haggard, which attracted many guests to stare sideways, thinking about what happened.

As she approached the small living room, Alisa stopped her tears, took out a white handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and then patted her forehead: "I, I forgot, and little John is still at the Nexer Palace. After a while, Joel is invited by the Musicians Association and has not returned! "

"It's okay, I'll wait ..." Before Lucien's words were finished, Alisa turned around on her own, excited and flustered: "I have to tell them, tell them that you are back, and tell immediately They! Little Evans, you go to the small living room to rest, I call to urge them! "

After she finished speaking, she hurried to the location of the study, completely forgetting to lead Lucien to the small living room.

Looking at Aunt Alisa's agitated and overwhelmed, Lucien didn't mind being "forgotten" by her. Instead, she smiled and shook her head. Her heart was warm and she should have returned.

Without any restraint, Lucien seemed to come back to her home and walked into the small living room without error, and saw the Viscount Turner family and several other noble guests, who were connecting each other's feelings, with a slightly curious look Looking at the stranger Lucien.

In the center of the living room, a strange and exquisite machine rotates a black disc with melodious and clear music, which fills the room with a romantic and elegant atmosphere.

Gently nodded and said hello, Lucien walked familiarly to the wall, opened the hidden magic refrigerator, and the crystal lamp inside lighted up, reflecting the chilled champagne and other drinks.

Lucien pulled out the champagne stopper calmly, poured himself half a glass, and then put small ice cubes from the upper layer of the magic refrigerator. When he was going to close the door of the magic refrigerator, the voice of the male voice changed from behind: " This is the Magic Refrigerator, the alchemy item invented by the great Lord Lucien Evans, so that we can enjoy the refreshing coldness at any time in the hot summer. "

what?His name was spoken from other populations in such a way that Lucien felt very weird and didn't know how to answer for a while.

The 13- to 4-year-old boy in a small dress on the side has a typical Holm look, black hair and blue eyes, deep facial features, and a slightly clear appearance. When he saw Lucien, he did not answer and thought he did not know the magic refrigerator. The origin, so he enthusiastically introduced to him: "The production of this kind of magic refrigerator is very small, and only large aristocrats and a few ordinary aristocratic families can enjoy it. It is the crystallization of the popularization and daily life of alchemy products. "

"Uh, the popularization and daily life of alchemy items are the ideas put forward by the great alchemist His Excellency Lucien Evans. This has brought about a fundamental change in our lives, isn't it?"

The little boy seems to be very respectful of Lucien, and his personality is very cheerful.

"Of course, I like this kind of life." Lucien smiled at the little boy.

The little boy received approval and was very happy: "Viscount Wellesley is one of Her Majesty's most valued knights, so there are many novel alchemy items in his family. For the time being, they only belong to the alchemy items of the nobles. Magic gramophone, it allows us to enjoy all kinds of wonderful music without the band, and even fall asleep with the music. "

He pointed to Karin when he spoke, the cousin in his mouth seemed to be her, and Wellesley was John ’s surname.

Karin saw Lucien's gaze followed the little boy's gesture and smiled politely: "It wasn't long before the magic phonograph was invented. I saw it for the first time, and I really liked it."

The little boy happily added: "This is also the design idea proposed by Lord Evans."

Lucien nodded gently, and he knew much better than him. A few years ago, he had explained the idea of ​​magic gramophone to the seniors of Elemental Will, hoping to simplify the magic array for storing sounds, which would prevent them from finding good storage materials. , Has been unsuccessful, until a few months ago, Gaston's "living substance synthesis laboratory" accidentally discovered that a natural resin material can be used for simplification, and really let the magic gramophone appear in this world.

"Actually, there is a special kind of alchemy item in the Viscount House of Wellesley." Karin seemed to like this magical life too, and was interested in the little boy's endless narration, pointing to the high hanging in the room. The silver-gray box said: "I once saw it at the banquet of the Duke of James. It is called a magic air conditioner. It can cool summer and cool the fireplace in winter."

"Really?" The little boy hadn't noticed the "magic air conditioner" in the height before, and his eyes were wide open, looking at the top with amusement.

Karin smiled and said, "You can feel its cool breeze, and it is also a masterpiece of the great Arcanist Lucien Evans."

"Oh, really? Great!" The little boy went around in excitement. "Cousin Karin, I must learn magic in the future. I want to be a great magician, a great alchemist!"

Viscount Turner teased his nephew: "Hokke, fight for the Holm Crown Award."

"Well." The little boy shook his finger proudly. "The Holm Crown Award is not my goal. The Lucien Evans Award is! At a future meeting, someone asks who this is and you will be honored. To introduce, this is Mr. Hawke, the winner of the Evans Arcane Award. Uncle, tell you that Cousin Karin also wants to win the Lucien Evans Award, but her goal is the Evans Medical Award. "

"If there are two Evans Award winners in our family, hey, it's a face." Turner looked at his daughter funny.

Hawke debunked his thoughts in front of strangers. Karin was a little shy and changed the subject, asking Lucien: "This gentleman, don't know what to call you?"

Lucian rubbed her chin in her right hand: "You can call me Lucian Evans."
