Throne of Magical Arcana

At the end of the interview, Lowe and the others walked out of the conference room with strange expressions. All the knowledge they had prepared in the field of atoms and the skills of manipulating the magic circle were all useless. Mr. Evans' topic was really weird. It's hard to imagine, especially the life plan, which still needs to be answered, isn't it the arcane and magic levels from one to two, from two to three, and so on?

However, such a simple answer obviously cannot satisfy Mr. Evans, so each interviewer added more or less what he understood, such as Ophelia's plan for her knowledge system and areas of expertise, such as Black Regarding how they return to Allinge from the Solar Islands, many people put the Atomic Research Institute into their life plans.

Thinking of the scene where he introduced his strengths and weaknesses just now, and thinking of finding a like-minded partner inexplicably added to his life plan, Luo Wei's face became extremely hot, and he didn't dare to look at the companions around him, afraid to find out what was wrong in their eyes. In his heart, this is an interview full of shame.

In fact, other people are similar to him. I don’t know how many interviewees were impulsive just now, and they also told how miserable the past was when they introduced themselves. At first, they thought they could exchange sympathy and pity. Seeing the burning sensation on his face, he wished he could take off his clothes to cover his head.

Rock smiled brightly and said: "You guys wait here for ten minutes, Lucien will make a choice soon."

This unique interview method made him very happy, especially when the interviewees expressed themselves jerky.

Hearing Rock's words, the shyness of Lowe and the others disappeared immediately, leaving only tension and expectation. As Rock entered the conference room and the door closed, their heartbeats became faster and faster, and their voices became louder and louder.

Boom, boom, boom, Lowe felt he had to say something, or he might faint from nervousness, he opened his mouth and said, "Erica, who do you think Mr. Evans will pick?"

As soon as the words came out, Lowe was taken aback. He never thought that his voice could be so hoarse and dry, as if someone else was speaking.

Erika's nose twitched slightly, and her voice was low and authentic: "Now, it's superfluous to say anything, and all the abilities that should be displayed have been demonstrated."

Although Black on the side was nervous, he was promoted to a full-fledged magician in such a harsh environment in the archipelago. He remained calm on the surface, and said to Ophelia with a stiff smile: "I think you are very hopeful. Well done."

Ophelia smiled and said: "Don't say such things, it will make me unable to resist putting in more expectations, and the greater the hopes, the greater the disappointment."

She spoke plainly, but her hands were clenched tightly at some point.

In the suffocating atmosphere, the door opened with a creak, and they raised their heads at the same time, looking at Mr. Evans who came out with anticipation and nervousness.

Lucien smiled and said: "You are all excellent and full of potential. Unfortunately, the Atomic Research Institute only needs ten assistants for the time being. I have to make a very difficult choice. Try to choose those who are closer to the needs. The first candidate , Mister Barzagli."

Lowe's teacher at the school, the middle-aged man excitedly waved his fist several times in a row, but he was a second-ring magician after all, so he barely maintained his demeanor.

"The second candidate, Ophelia." Lucien's clear and gentle voice reached Ophelia's ears.

Unable to react for a moment, she raised her head, looked at Lucien blankly, and then saw Lucien smiling and nodding at her.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she had been selected by the Atomic Research Institute, and a mist suddenly appeared in her blue eyes.

This kind of success did not use any money or materials to bribe, nor did he exchange his own body and emotions. It was all obtained by his own magic and arcane abilities!

This was a hard-won affirmation for Ophelia who had to leave Allinge because of certain things. She raised her hands and covered her face to prevent others from seeing her momentary weakness.

Listening to Mr. Evans announcing the candidates one by one, and hearing excited cheers from around, Lowe became more and more nervous, subconsciously held his breath, Mr. Black was selected, Erica was selected, the two people I knew before The apprentice was also selected, but why didn't he have himself?

"The tenth candidate, Lowe."

Luo Wei felt countless stars appearing in front of his eyes, and almost fell to the ground with weak legs. Intense joy and excitement erupted like a volcanic eruption, making his head swell and his eyes moist.

"Don't faint. If your health is too bad, I will consider returning the product." Lucien said with a cold humor that others don't understand.

But to Lowe's ears, it was as beautiful as the singing of an elf, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, Mr. Evans, I am in good health!"

Everything in his sight seemed suddenly lovely and brilliant.

After instructing Jerome to arrange ten assistants, Lucien went to the affairs committee to see the progress of Tang Pu's interrogation.

"They have already confessed that two are spies from the Southern Church, one is related to the Northern Church, and the other is lured by the intelligence personnel of the Holy Hiertz Empire. They are all promised that as long as they can sneak into the Atomic Research Institute, they will be rewarded generously. From now on, every piece of information about the research institute or you will be rewarded accordingly." Tom handed the interrogation information to Lucien, and said doubtfully, "The Holy Hiertz Empire cares about what you do, and dealing with magicians is not Has it always been dominated by the church?"

Lucien rubbed his brows. He destroyed Rudolph II's plan in a different dimension, and it was obviously related to Yinyue. How could he not pay attention to himself? Of course, it is inconvenient to tell Tang Pu about such things. It is a secret belonging to the highest jury level.

Randomly flipping through the interrogation materials, Lucien's eyes suddenly froze. The image of the night watchman who bought him from Isaac was so familiar.

"Minsk...Julianna..." Lucien whispered the two names.

When Rhine was projected into the clown's dream, Lucien knew that there was something wrong with Amorton, and he also knew who the night watchmen who mixed with the clown were and what they looked like.

This was not a problem at first, because Lucien had met the Sky Knight Lunde before, and it was normal for them to be transferred with Amorton, but according to Isaac, the two night watchmen met with him in turn three years ago, and they have always been there. I hope he can mix with him, that is to say, at least three years before Sard became the Cardinal of the Diocese of Holm, he was already arranging this matter.

"No wonder he wanted to hide the matter of Natasha and me at the beginning, but with such a far-reaching plan, he is so sure that he will be able to transfer it?" Lucien was slightly puzzled, and then said to Tang Pu, "Find an opportunity to attach these two Night watchman, don't rush to get rid of it, do long-term monitoring."

"At the same time, arrange for the mages of the Battle Mage Department to secretly protect the family of John, the deputy head of Natasha's small knights. Don't let them know, and don't conflict with the intelligence personnel arranged by Natasha."

The two night watchmen were full of hatred towards him, and Lucien worried that they would lose control anytime soon.

"Okay." Tang Pu was becoming more and more polite to Lucien, not mentioning the change in status brought about by his "new alchemy". The improvement of his magic power alone made people seem to see the next legendary magician.

…………

On July 30th, Queen Natasha, who had been assassinated by conservatives, came to the Royal Magic Tower in Holm without a doubt, and announced that she would have dinner with the elders of the royal family here to celebrate her birthday. Return to Nekser Palace.

Considering that Duke James and Duke Russell were also assassinated at that time, there must be great anger, and the conservative nobles did not express any objection to this.

As the night darkened, Natasha, who was celebrating her birthday with members of the royal family in the banquet hall of the Royal Magic Tower in Holm, left on the pretext of meeting Hathaway.

Holding the hem of her skirt, like a charging knight, she quickly walked out of Lucien's office.

He stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but the door opened itself with a creak, and at the same time, there was a beautiful piano sound. The melodious music was like ripples of water, fresh and beautiful, and a dreamy and romantic atmosphere quickly enveloped the room.

Natasha quietly closed the door and looked at Lucien who was dancing fingers beside the piano. He was wearing a black dress and a bow tie of the same color that he had seen in Aalto. the human soul.

A feeling of amazement suddenly appeared in Lucien's heart. Today Natasha didn't wear the usual dark-colored skirt, nor was she a knight costume or armor, but a white long skirt with simple lace trim. Gloves and silk stockings of the same color, long rolled-up hair, and a light-colored wide-brimmed hat, as if a bride suddenly broke in, and the original heroic and violet-like beauty was a little more pure and fresh.

The layout of the room is almost the same as last time, the only exception is that flute, oboe, cello, brass, violin and other musical instruments are placed around the piano, just like there used to be a small symphony orchestra there, but now all of them have disappeared, leaving only Various utensils are placed neatly at the bottom.

Eye contact with Lucien, listening to such delicate and beautiful music, Natasha's previous urgency and impatience disappeared, and she slowly approached Lucien with a smile, and stood by the round dining table.

She knew that this was the piano piece "A Poem to Natasha" prepared by Lucien last time, but because of the determination of each other's hearts and the burning passion during that meeting, she completely forgot about it. En also took advantage of the opportunity to push it to his birthday.

The notes seem to fill the room with flowing water, softly fluttering and undulating, soothing the soul, and the romantic sentiment turns into a melody and echoes in the ears.

After Lucien finished playing, Natasha applauded and was about to pull up her knight.

But she saw Lucien shook his head with a smile, indicating that there was another piece of music:

"This is today's birthday present."

Lucien smiled and picked up the flute, put it to his mouth, and played a different melody, just like the sound of birdsong.

As soon as the flute finished, the oboe flew over by itself, and Lucien played a beautiful "scenery" like spring.

Natasha looked at Lucien suspiciously. This is a music style she has never heard before. Is it his new creation?

At some point, Lucien had an extra violin in his hand. He stared at Natasha and played an affectionate and poetic melody.

The light and soft sound of the violin entered Natasha's ears, and it seemed that something hit her heart. This melody is so beautiful and romantic, but it also seems to contain a touch of sadness, which makes people feel empathetic.

This is different from any kind of music that Natasha has learned in the past, but it is so infectious and so beautiful that it shocks the soul, as if Lucien is telling himself the feelings in his heart.

The best music has no style barriers. Natasha looked at the black-haired, black-eyed Lucien, who was playing the violin gracefully, and was intoxicated by this melody.
