— Corrected a mistake. In Chapter 44, "Preparation", the name of the amulet of Immortal Throne was wrong. It was not "Resurrection", but the origin of his nickname: Restorer.
Also, the professional level has been updated in the book.
Today, there will be a new update.
… …
In the Flame District in the southwest corner of Allyn, in a villa with a beautiful garden.
Two maids were putting white porcelain teacups in front of the elves sitting on the sofa. Even though they had been strictly trained, they still could not help but sneak a peek at the two elves, because the two elves were so beautiful, and their long ears were moving, giving them a strange charm.
Annick, Heidi, Layria and other apprentices were sitting at the dining table in the living room, studying the principles of magic structure. While they were practicing, they also pretended to sneak a peek at the two elves who were talking to Mr. Evans. Although they had met elves, dwarves, giants and other intelligent creatures in Allyn and Renstadt from time to time, this was the first time that they had seen elves with such a noble and natural temperament.
"That's it, Mr. Evans. What do you think?" Iristine told Lucien what she had seen in the alchemy workshop, and she looked at Lucien expectantly.
Although they were members of the Sun Elf Court, this was the second time that they left Stroop Forest, and last time, they were led by Malfurion. When it was Iristine's turn, she wanted to talk to the Congress about the destruction of the alchemy workshop, but she did not know who to turn to. Therefore, she came to visit Lucien, hoping that Lucien, the winner of Holm Crown prize and the author of the paper on alchemy, could help them achieve their goal.
Arcelion also looked at Lucien sincerely, "Mr. Evans, after three weeks of being together, I believe that you're a kind man who loves nature. You're just used to standing on the side of human beings because you're from different races. As for this matter, I think you understand that if nature is damaged too severely, those fish floating in the stream with their bellies turned over will be the future of you humans. You are not a short-sighted arcanist. I hope that you can use your influence to stop the Congress of Magic from building such alchemy workshops, so that all races can enjoy a peaceful and beautiful nature. "
Lucien took a sip of the white porcelain teacup and slowly said, "First of all, I want to make it clear that such alchemy workshops cannot be stopped."
"You!" Iristine and Arcelion were very disappointed.
After gesturing for the two elves to calm down, Lucien continued, "Without the help of these alchemical substances, most of the humans would not even be able to fill their stomachs. Even if they were to suffer the revenge of nature, they would have already died of poverty before the consequences came. Therefore, we cannot stop these alchemy workshops and the development of mankind. The development of the human race was of great benefit to the mages below the legendary level who needed wealth. Whether I am a human or a sorcerer, I must adhere to this basic principle. "
"Of course, we also have to face the problem head-on. The destruction of nature will eventually come back to us. However, we cannot make the problem bigger. We cannot close all the alchemy workshops just because of the sequela. The discussion must be limited to the problem itself. Since these alchemy workshops are destroying nature, we should design and add new magic circles to deal with them. We can decompose the pollutants they produce and reduce the damage to nature to the extent that nature can recover, just like the activities of other living creatures. " Lucien stopped Iristine and Arcelion from talking again. They were already a bit angry.
To be honest, it was much easier to deal with pollutants in the magic world than on the earth. No matter if it was the legendary spell Element Decomposition, the seventh-circle spell Element Swirl, or Lucien's unique third-circle spell Element Order, as long as the magic circles were constant, the pollution could be removed perfectly.
Also, the magic circles of Element Decomposition and Element Order could also recycle the pure elements as experiment materials. After all, the alchemy materials that could be popularized were much easier to be decomposed than magic items. However, the problem was the cost. Lucien did not want to expose his unique spell right now, so he had to design a new fourth-circle or fifth-circle magic circle based on Element Order and Element Swirl.
Hearing Lucien's words, Iristine's anger gradually calmed down. She put on a beautiful smile, "Mr. Evans, you're indeed a man of noble character. We were a bit disappointed and angry when we saw the alchemy workshop just now. Therefore, our request was too absolute and unrealistic. As long as you can add more magic circles to avoid the damage to nature, I think the Elven Palace and the Elder Council of Druids will be more willing to cooperate with the Congress of Magic in the future. "
After coming to the human society twice in a row, Iristine and Arcelion were much more mature in dealing with things. They knew how to compromise and compromise. They were not as extreme as they used to be when they were subconsciously turning into the supporters of nature's balance. Of course, this was based on the fact that the sorcerers had proven the greatness of nature, which made the druids and most of the elves like them much more.
"Your Highness, Her Royal Highness, it's not that simple. In the future, there will be more and more alchemy workshops like this. We can't wait for them to be built before adding magic circles. Also, most of the alchemy workshops will not listen to my suggestion and increase their cost. If that's the case, the damage to nature will be uncontrollable. Therefore, I hope that the Congress of Magic and the royal family of Holm can make separate laws to make the purification magic circles a must in advance. "
Lucien told them his plan. He did not want to live in a place that was not suitable for living. As for Arthur, it was easier. As long as Lucien gave up part of his shares, he should be able to do it. The difficulty was to make it a standard.
Arcelion suddenly stood up, his blond hair swaying in the air. He said to Lucien in excitement, "Mr. Evans, we were right about you! You're really a good man. You're a good friend of nature, elves and druids! Your idea is much more perfect than ours! "
"Mr. Evans, I'm counting on you. I hope that you can make full use of your influence. If you need our help, we'll ask the Elven Court and the Elder Council of Druids to pressure you. " Iristine was also excited. She liked Lucien even more. It was rare to see a non-druid human being who valued nature so much. Mr. Evans was indeed a friend worth having for a long time. "If it works, we …"
Iristine wanted to make a promise, but it seemed that it was too important for her to make the decision on her own, so she did not finish her sentence.
Lucien put down the teacup and picked up his black top hat. "We're going to visit the members of the Affair Committee right now."
There were three major committees under the Highest Council. The Arcana Review Committee was responsible for the review of papers, magic evaluation, credit reward and the qualification of journals. It was the authority in arcana. It was made up of fifty-two members, and it was the most respected one among the three committees. It was also the most noble and leisurely position in the eyes of the sorcerers.
The Magic Research Committee was responsible for the review of arcana and magic research projects. Sometimes, it would also issue tasks by itself, set up research groups specifically focused on a certain field of magic, and manage the magic laboratories and libraries of the Congress. Because there were not many things to do, and there were special subordinate departments to deal with the miscellaneous affairs, there were only twenty-three members. They were all senior-rank arcanists who were good at research and did not like to take risks or fight. Some of the members were also members of the Arcana Review Committee.
The Affair Committee, on the other hand, was responsible for the daily management of magic apprentices and sorcerers, internal punishment, external combat, intelligence collection, formulation of the rules of the Congress of Magic, the Task Area, the Exchange Area and so on. It was basically the representative agency of the Highest Council, and it was the most powerful committee. However, because every power corresponded to a department, such as the Apprentice Assessment Department, the Sorcerer Management Department, the Battle Sorcerer Department, and the Punishment Department, not many people could be promoted to the committee. Therefore, there were only forty-two members in the committee, and most of them were senior-rank sorcerers who were very good at fighting or daily affairs.
Of the three committees, three-fifths belonged to the leadership of the six major organizations. The rest of the members either had their own small organizations or were completely loyal to the Congress of Magic.
… …
On the thirteenth floor of the Allyn magic tower, Lucien, Iristine and Arcelion were stopped by the adamantine golem guarding the place the moment they walked out of the lift.
It said in a low, humming voice, "Dear guests, may I ask why you're here in the Affair Committee? Which committee member do you want to visit?"
The fifteenth floor of the Allyn magic tower belonged to the Arcana Review Committee, the eleventh floor belonged to the Magic Research Committee, and the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth floor belonged to the Affair Committee, which was in charge of many things.
"Hello, we want to visit Ms. Florencia." She was one of the two committee members that Lucien knew, and the other one was Rogelio, whom he met in Aalto.
Rogelio belonged to the Hand of Paleness, so Lucien would not visit him no matter what. It was already very rare that Rogelio did not expose Lucien's identity as a musician.
If Florencia was not here, Lucien could only go to the other three committee members of the Affair Committee from the Will of Elements and the Holm Royal Magic Academy. Lucien's influence was limited to the Will of Elements, and even if the sorcerers from other organizations and factions believed in his potential, they would not pay much attention to him before he became more powerful.
The adamantine golem pointed at the sofa in the corner of the hall, "Dear guests, please wait for a moment. I'll ask Ms. Florencia if she's here and if she's willing to meet you."
It did not intend to let Lucien and the rest of the sorcerers go in and find Ms. Florencia by themselves.
At this time, the lift stopped, and Felipe, who was wearing a black coat, walked out. He looked at Lucien in surprise. Obviously, he did not expect to see him again.
"Dear Mr. Felipe, is there anything I can help you with? Which committee member do you want to visit? " The Adamantine Golem bowed slightly, appearing to be very respectful. This was the treatment for a senior-rank sorcerer or arcanist.
Felipe slightly nodded and said coldly, "I'm looking for Mr. Carlo." Carlo was another committee member of the Affair Committee of the Hand of Paleness.
The adamantine golem waved its thick metal arm, "Please come in, dear Mr. Felipe."
Since they had signed the devil's contract, Felipe did not want to expose Lucien's identity, and there were too many people here, so he directly walked in with his hands in his black coat.
"Mr. Evans, do we need to inform the Elven Court and the Elder Council of Druids right now?" Iristine whispered to Lucien.
What happened just now made her realize that Lucien's influence was not as great as she thought. However, she was still grateful to Lucien. She and Arcelion even had a better impression of Lucien. After all, it was not easy for Lucien to do this. However, no matter how difficult it was, Lucien was still willing to help them protect the nature. This kind of intention was much more valuable than those big shots who could easily do this.
Lucien did not mind and answered, "If we can't persuade the members of the Affair Committee, then we need Mr. Malfurion to negotiate with the Highest Council."
Facing the South Church and the North Church, if there was a chance to form a solid alliance with the elves and the druids, the Congress of Magic would definitely consider their opinions. However, Lucien did not know how much the druids were willing to do, and how much the Highest Council would consider. Therefore, he had to work hard before that.
It was also a surprise that he could win the favor of the elves and the druids.
After a while, the adamantine golem said to Lucien, who was not sitting on the sofa, "Ms. Florencia is in her private lounge. You can go in. Room 1314."
Florencia was also in the Affair Committee on Saturday?
Lucien was more or less relieved. It would be great if he could persuade Florencia. Not only was she a leader of the Will of Elements and Holm Royal Magic Court, but she was also the wife of the grand arcanist, Hand of Annihilation. It was not hard to imagine how influential she was in the Affair Committee. However, Lucien had only met her once. Why would she pay attention to him? (To be continued.)
