Throne of Magical Arcana

The top floor of a magic tower in Allinge.

Rogerio took the information collected by other members of the "Pale Hand" and sighed softly: "He should be the youngest winner of the Holm Crown Award. It doesn't matter whether he can become a high-level arcanist in the future. , are destined to be remembered by history.”

While talking, he stroked his tightly buttoned neckline, as if wishing for an extra beautiful talisman, but it is a pity that after all, the talent for fighting and magic is higher than the talent for arcane arts, and after so many years of hard work, he failed to win the "Immortal Throne" award , can only watch Felipe, Lucien and other latecomers get the highest honor symbol in their respective fields.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants, hey, standing on the shoulders of giants, the 'professor' probably didn't expect his students to win the Holm Crown Award so quickly. He is probably still concentrating on experiments, trying to synthesize Life matter with decisive significance, and thus won the Holm Crown Award and the Immortal Throne Award at the same time. Haha, will you recognize this achievement and give him the Immortal Throne Award?" Adol, the undead, sat cross-legged on the sofa, Holding a glass of "Sky Blue" in his hand.

If you don't look at his lifeless terrifying face and two jumping red flames, you will definitely regard him as a living person.

They have already investigated Richardson, the winner of the Holm Crown Award who is still alive below the high level, and they can confirm that he is not a professor.

Rogerio sneered: "It depends on whether he, the 'giant', can live until then. Several major awards will not be awarded to dead people. And Felipe has already made significant progress."

Then he called in a person from Pale Hand and ordered: "Raise the attention level of Lucien Evans X to the same level as that of Larry, Timothy, and Ulysses, and keep an eye on his movements and improvement status. .”

Lucien no longer received the attention of the Pale Hand just because of the "professor", and he himself began to receive their attention, but before his research could destroy the Pale Hand, the Pale Hand only increased the attention and would not cost Do your best to destroy him. Without enough benefits, killing a genius who can only be said to have potential for growth at present is very unbalanced. It is the worst choice among all choices, and the highest jury will never allow such bottomless infighting.

"At the same time, tell that person to continue to help find traces of the 'Professor', and we will never go back on the 'Lich Transformation Ceremony' we promised." Rogerio reminded the core member of the Pale Hand again.

Adol, the undead on the sofa, held a wine glass flickering with sky blue liquid, looked at Rogerio and the Pale Hand staff calmly, and said with a sneer in his heart, "Stupid humans..."

…………

In the dark winter night, the alchemy arc street lamps on both sides of the road became increasingly dim.

A carriage rolled over a thin layer of snow, and slowly drove to the tallest building in the noble district, "Holm Royal Magic Tower".

The coachman jumped out of the carriage, held a dim lantern, and respectfully opened the carriage door: "Mr. Evans, Mr. Lazar, you have arrived at the Royal Magic Court in Holm."

As a long-term coachman employed by Holm's Royal Magic Court, he understands magicians better than ordinary people, and he is more in awe of them.

After tidying up his double-breasted long black dress, Lucien stood at the door of the carriage, took a deep breath of the icy cold air, and cleared away the dullness brought about by several days of meetings.

As soon as he and Lazar stepped into the magic tower, a middle-aged man came in front of him. His flaxen hair was neatly combed back, shiny, and he tried to maintain a perfect posture in every move: "Hello, Mr. Evans. I am Rodham, the steward of the Royal Magic Court in Holm. According to the instructions of Lord Morris I ordered you to pick out potions, materials or magic items worth 2,000 arcane points. By the way, are you staying here tonight?"

Because the Holm Royal Magic Court has a deep relationship with the Hoffenberg, Ruiz and other families, the titles here have a strong aristocratic taste and a stricter distinction between upper and lower.

"Hello, Mr. Rodham, take me to look at the magic items first, I still need a magic robe." Lucien nodded slightly, "If there is a spare room, please arrange for me and my companion to live here .”

Rodham has the level of a normal knight by relying on various magic potions, and bowed deeply with his left hand on his chest: "It is my honor to serve you. And Mr. Evans, after you receive the Holm Crown Award, you will automatically become a Holm crown award." I am an honorary member of the Royal Magic Court of Mu, and I will give you proof documents, and you can enjoy everything here without a doubt."

Since it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, the bottom floor of the magic tower was very quiet, only the crisp sounds of Lucien and Lazar stepping on the stone slabs echoed.

At this time, a group of people came down from the second floor of the Magic Tower, and Lucien was inexplicably familiar with the half-old man in a black cloak and a dark red double-breasted frock at the head.

Because he has a pair of impressive silver-gray eyes, because he resembles Natasha by 50 to 60%, and seems to be Natasha who has become a man and aged in a trance, but his complexion is extremely pale, pale and thin, and he has no facial features at all. Natasha's delicate and shiny skin.

Both his black cloak and long dress are embroidered with a purple crest. The outer layer is cloud lines, and the center is a sacred crown. On both sides of the crown are a scepter and a long sword.

"Pseudo-heraldic Scholar" Lucien recognized at a glance that it was the coat of arms of the Holm royal family, that is, the coat of arms of the Hofenberg family. Some of Natasha's clothes also had similar patterns.

Half a step behind the Holm royal family member was a middle-aged brown-haired man. His elegant and beautiful long dress was bulging out of his ball-like figure. He held a black leather bag between his arms. He was chubby. A flattering smile filled his face.

"Your Highness." Rodham saluted solemnly.

This is the only prince of the Kingdom of Holm, Patrick Hofenberg, Duke of Edinburgh, brother of Meredith, and uncle of Natasha.

Lazar and Lucien, who probably guessed it right, bowed slightly, but they were not as respectful as Rodham, but greeted politely. There is no such strict etiquette between magicians and nobles, unless the magician is "nurtured" by the nobles and provides money, materials, etc. for him to conduct magical experiments.

Patrick bowed his head lightly in return, and originally wanted to go directly to the door, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw the lustrous, dreamy and beautiful lavender gemstone ring on Lucien's right hand, so he said in a hoarse voice as if he had caught a cold : "Holm Crown Ring? Are you Mr. Lucian Evans?"

The fact that the Holm royal family is the strongest and most authoritative among the countries that support magicians is related to the fact that many of their family members have become outstanding magicians, especially His Excellency the Great Arcanist. Therefore, the entire royal family attaches great importance to the power of magicians. For a talented magician who can win the Holm Crown Award, the highest honor in the field of elemental magic, it is natural to subconsciously win over him politely.

Lucien smiled and saluted: "I am honored to be remembered by Your Royal Highness."

Patrick's silver-grey eyes revealed a smile: "The last few years seem to be the world of Lucien Evans, one is a genius musician who ushered in a new era of music...the other is a genius magician, the youngest Holm Crown Award winner." When he was talking about the talented musician, he suddenly paused, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Evans, do you want to join the druid research?"

"Yes." Lucien didn't understand why Patrick asked this suddenly.

Patrick smiled and nodded: "The land used for the experiment has been determined to be the town of 'Sariwa' directly under the royal family, and part of the soil there is very barren. At that time, I will send someone to order the town officials to entertain you well, cough cough cough , cough cough cough..."

He suddenly coughed violently, as if he was about to be out of breath, until his entourage took out a light green magic potion and poured it into his mouth, and he gradually calmed down.

"Then I would like to thank Your Royal Highness for your kindness in advance." Lucien was a little uncomfortable with Patrick's sudden enthusiasm.

Patrick raised his hand: "The glory of the royal family is inseparable from the joint support of nobles and magicians."

After saying a few more words, Patrick was obviously not in good health, so he left surrounded by several restrained and terrifying knights. Before leaving, he said in a low voice: "In the letter from little Natasha, there is the latest Moonlight Sonata by that talented musician..."

Lucien was startled, was he recognized? However, after winning the Holm Crown Award and becoming a man of the hour, it is very possible that his identity will be exposed. Lucien will never underestimate the ability of the Church and the Magic Council to collect information. He only hopes that Natasha can fulfill her promise, Keep an eye on Joel, John and others.

"Well, without the monitoring of the pale hand, it's time to write her a letter."

After sending Patrick away from the Magic Tower, the fat man came back suddenly and said with a smile on his face: "So you are Mr. Evans who won the Holm Crown Award today. You are so young and promising, and you will definitely become a high-ranking man in the future." Magician. I am Baron Arthur Doyle, President of Holm Union Bank of Mines."

In the end, he emphasized his title, but he seemed to be a court noble without a territory, and he was able to become the president of the Holm Mining Union Bank as a baron. There were probably many nobles, even the royal family, standing behind him.

After chatting for a while, Fatty Arthur sighed: "It's Mr. Evans, a young magician who is open-minded. Our Mining Union Bank has always wanted to invest in magic steam train routes, especially the ones to the port, but was rejected by the business. The committee rejected it. Only a genius like you can grow up as soon as possible and become a member of the affairs committee as soon as possible, so that we can hope to cooperate with the magic council at a deeper level. Well, Mr. Evans, I hope to see you often in the future."

After speaking, he gave Lucien something similar to a business card with a gold border.

Watching Lucien take the business card and send fat Arthur away lukewarmly, Lazar sighed deeply: "After receiving the Holm Crown Award, you, Evans, seem to have become a big shot right away. "

"It's just beginning to be favored by people, and people think it has good investment value." Lucien shook his head with a smile, and went to the upper level of the Magic Tower with Lazar under Rodham's leadership.

…………

A magic steam train is galloping on the vast plain, and the druids in the train are staring at the fast-moving scenery outside with dumbfounded eyes. There are all kinds of elves, as well as humans and dwarves.

"This alchemy item is really unimaginable!" After a long time, most of the druids came back to their senses and let out a shocked voice.

A beautiful elf man who looked like a woman looked outside with a bad face, lowered his voice and said to his elf companion beside him: "Damn humans, hate magicians, they are destroying nature again! Such railroad tracks, such The train has seriously damaged the harmony of nature! I seem to hear the earth weeping, and the dead plants cursing, and they will surely suffer bad luck and nature's revenge!"

"I don't know why the Great Elder sympathizes with the human beings who destroy nature and deforestation, and also study magic with them. It is useless for the other elders to oppose it with all their strength." The beautiful elf girl was puzzled and indignant.
