Before stepping into the hotel, Lucien thought for a second and took off all the magic badges except for the four-star arcana badge. At the same time, he took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on. Two shiny metal chains dangled over his slightly thin face.
After being recognized by Patrick, the prince of Holm, Lucien bought a pair of glasses in Allyn, so he could disguise himself a little when meeting other people. Although it was already late, it was still better than nothing.
Tidying up his bow tie, Lucien stepped into the hotel with steady steps.
…
In the hotel, the sunlight shone through the glass window, and the whole place was quiet and bright.
Two beautiful blonde elves, one male and one female, were sitting on the sofa in the corner, waiting for the guests from the Congress of Magic. They were surrounded by several elven guards and maids who also looked delicate.
In the lobby of the hotel, there were only the owner of the hotel and the waiters. There were no other guests.
"Brother, it's said that Lucien Evans, the Elemental Order, is not only the youngest winner of Holm Crown prize, but also a level four arcanist. His magic power should be very close to the senior-rank. What should we do?" asked the beautiful female elf worriedly.
She had thought that she would be able to join a research group made up of senior-rank arcanists with her teacher, and then she would be able to secretly change the environment and change some experiment data to achieve her goal. However, she was temporarily assigned to work under Lucien, the winner of Holm Crown prize, who was said to be as talented as senior-rank arcanists in terms of elemental magic. Now that she was the main force of the experiment, it would be too obvious for her to do anything.
In order to make sure that Lucien's reputation could be maximized, the Affairs Committee of the Congress of Magic deliberately forgot about Lucien's magic level in the information they sent to the druids, and they gave him a famous nickname, just like the names of legendary sorcerers. At first, Felipe planned to call it Element Cycle, but Florencia didn't like the name. After several discussions, they finally decided to call it Element Order. Therefore, Felipe didn't hide his magic level, and he just added a nickname, Restorer.
"Iristine, don't be pessimistic. First of all, we can cooperate passively and deliberately leave out part of the divine imprint. Second, since we are the main force of the experiment, we can 'make mistakes' openly when recording the key data. " Arcelion, the Elf Prince, answered calmly. His face was full of disgust for humans who destroyed nature. "At the same time, we will try our best to stall for time. The royal court is working with the other elders to suppress the opposition, and then we will put pressure on the Great Elder together. Perhaps we will be able to return to the fresh and beautiful forest soon."
Iristine sat on the sofa and smiled gently, "I hope that we can help to keep nature green and clean. However, the various inventions made by humans are actually quite good. For example, these sofas are soft and elastic. It's very comfortable to sit on. "
Arcelion's face became serious. "Iristine, don't forget that these sofas were made by cutting down trees. I seem to hear the trees crying. Don't fall into pleasure! What could be more comfortable and happy than sitting on a big tree full of vitality? "
Iristine did not expect that she would be scolded by her brother. She was a bit upset, but she still nodded seriously, "Brother, I won't forget the gift from nature and the elvish tree."
She clenched her fists secretly. She had to crush the evil claws of the evil humans.
At this time, they saw a young man of medium height coming in from the entrance of the hotel. He was wearing a white shirt, a dark vest, a double-breasted frock coat, a tall black top hat on his head, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked gentle, calm, and elegant.
"As far as humans are concerned, he's not bad looking." The Elf Prince and the Princess subconsciously judged the young man's appearance, which was the most basic reaction they had when they came to human society. However, their eyes soon moved to the beautiful ring inlaid with a light purple gem on the young man's right hand. The unique design of the ring had been sent to them by the Congress of Magic.
"The Holm Crown Ring? Is he Lucien Evans, the 'Elemental Order'? " Arcelion and Iristine stood up at the same time. Even though they were members of the royal family of elves, they still had to show some respect to Lucien, the winner of Holm Crown prize and a powerful figure who was close to the senior-rank. Also, Lucien's domineering nickname had subtly influenced their feelings toward him.
"Hello, are you Prince Arcelion and Princess Iristine of Her Royal Highness?" Lucien politely took off his hat and greeted them. At the same time, he was secretly grateful to the committee member who assigned him the task. Since Felipe's power was obviously much higher than Lucien's, most of the high-level druids who wanted to cause trouble were assigned to Felipe's group. Lucien was only left with the noble prince and the princess, who were level four and level three druids respectively. With the help of the Element ring, Lucien could easily suppress them.
As for their noble status, Lucien was not an elf, so of course, they were not important to him.
Of course, their elven guards were more powerful. According to the mission information, there was a level seven magic archer named Angus and a level six elven Knight named Tyrell.
Facing Lucien, who was very polite and elegant, Arcelion and Iristine also responded with the royal etiquette, "Yes, we're members of the elven court from Struman. May I ask if you're Mr. Lucien Evans, the 'Elemental Order'? "
Lucien was so surprised that he almost forgot to close his mouth. Did such a domineering nickname belong to him? Ms. Florencia really thought that she was not strong enough.
After a while, Lucien made a gesture and asked the two elves to sit down, "Your Highness, Her Royal Highness, we still need to wait for the two of you before we can start the study of the divine power. The hundred acres of land in the southeast of the town belongs to us. Some of them are fertile, and some are barren. It's easier for us to do comparison experiments. "
"Comparison experiments." Both Arcelion and Iristine were a bit annoyed by the obvious professional vocabulary. Their goal was to stall for time, so they changed the topic and talked to Lucien about music, painting, sculpture and other arts.
Luckily, they were talking to a "genius musician" who had been in the circle of art for a long time, so they had a great time talking with each other.
Since Lucien preferred music, in the end, they mostly talked about music. The natural music developed by elves for tens of thousands of years gave Lucien a great experience and a lot of inspiration. Lucien's well-structured and emotional music also touched the two elves.
"The most valuable things among you human beings are musicians, painters, sculptors and dramatists. Art is the best reward for nature, unlike nobles and sorcerers who only destroy nature. " Arcelion was so excited that he almost forgot that Lucien was the winner of Holm Crown prize and the "authority" in the field of Element.
Lucien lowered his head and looked at the arcana badge in front of his chest. He sighed that the two elves were really prejudiced against him. In this world full of magic creatures, if there were no nobles, Knights, sorcerers and priests, human beings would not be able to survive, let alone art. Also, unlike elves, human beings were not born with magic patterns.
When Lucien was talking to the two elves, two more sorcerers walked in. One of them was an old man in a black hooded robe, with five silver stars on his arcana badge and four silver rings on his magic badge. The other one was a middle-aged man with blonde hair, who was wearing a tuxedo. They were the other two members of Lucien's research team, Theodore and Julian.
After introducing themselves, the old man, Theodore, said in a loud voice, "I haven't had breakfast yet. Can I have something to eat first? I'm the kind of person who can't work when he's hungry. "
Arcelion agreed with Lucien's action of stalling. He smiled elegantly, "Iristine and I haven't had breakfast either. Mr. Evans, why don't you join us?"
The arrival of the two sorcerers made Arcelion realize that Evans, who looked like an artist, was from the Elemental Order, a horribly talented sorcerer.
Lucien nodded. They wanted to stall for time, but he also wanted to stall them. After all, as a prospective Knight, he always had a good appetite.
…
In the restaurant of the hotel, Lucien was cutting the sausages with his knife and fork, while Theodore and Julian were eating the bloody medium-rare steaks.
Seeing this, Iristine put down her knife and fork and said to Lucien with a pale face, "Why do you human beings have to kill other creatures to satisfy your own desires? What's wrong with cows and sheep? Why do you have to slaughter them and eat them? And they're human beings' friends! You've been destroying nature, but you don't understand its tolerance. You'll be punished by nature sooner or later! "
Arcelion's face was also filled with extreme disgust.
Theodore and Julian put down their knives and forks as well. They felt that the two elves were extremely rude.
Lucien picked up a sausage and ate it calmly. Then he glanced at the green fruits on Iristine and Arcelion's plates and said slowly, "Why do you elves have to kill other creatures to satisfy your own desires? What's wrong with plants? Why do you have to take away their children and fruits? According to the Necromancers and the Church, plants have vitality. Don't you think so? "
"You! Mr. Evans, I thought you were a kind artist, but it seems that you're still an evil sorcerer. You can 'enjoy' your breakfast by yourselves! You can come to us and study divine spells when you're done, "Iristine said angrily. Then she and Arcelion threw down their napkins and left the table.
Watching them disappear from the restaurant, Theodore looked at Lucien with appreciation, "I didn't expect that Mr. Evans, who looks gentle and calm, would mock them like this. You've exposed the hypocrisy of these extreme elves."
"Protecting nature is protecting ourselves, but we have to survive and develop first." Lucien said seriously, and then he smiled humorously, "And those who stop me from eating meat are 'heretics'."
In his previous life, Lucien liked the elves very much, and he even fantasized about having a good relationship with one of the elves. However, now it seemed that they were not on the same side.
"I like this saying. Those who stop me from eating meat are 'heretics'!" Theodore cut off a piece of steak and put it into his mouth.
Lucien wiped his mouth with the napkin. He knew that Theodore and Julian were not arcanists who were good at research, and the arcana and magic badges on their chests were fake. They were members of the Affair Committee's Battle Sorcerer Department, and their spiritual power and fighting talent were much higher than their arcana talent.
Theodore was a level three arcanist and a sixth-circle sorcerer, and Julian was a level two arcanist and a fifth-circle sorcerer. The reason why they were assigned to Lucien's research team was to deal with the secret guards of the elven prince and the princess.
"Two druids who are not willing to cooperate with us, two battle maniacs, and me, a level four arcanist … This is a research team that is good at everything except research." Lucien took a sip of water and thought to himself.
As long as it did not interfere with his study and analysis, it was fine. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
