"Weekend? So soon? " Hearing Florencia's rather lazy voice through electromagnetic communication, Lucien found it rather odd. Considering how stingy Mr. Morris was, how could he have made the ring so quickly? It was only two days away from the weekend!
Unlike Aalto, the City of Psalm, Allyn usually referred to Sunday as the weekend.
Florencia covered her mouth and giggled, "This time, you were almost 'kidnapped' by someone in the Will of Elements. Mr. Morris felt embarrassed, so he sped up the process."
After a short pause, she stopped giggling and became serious, "At least, with three Holm Crown rings and the magic robe called 'Immortal Throne', you'll be able to protect yourself in front of senior-rank sorcerers."
"Really?" Lucien was even more confused. The leaders of the Will of Elements must not know that his cognitive world had already been substantialized, and he could use senior-rank items three times in a row. Then why were they so confident that he could protect himself in front of senior-rank sorcerers?
Florencia chuckled. "Permanent magic is great. My teacher was not stingy with the materials at all. The magic combination of the two rings is great. So, he regretted it after he made it. Hehe. He even thought of canceling the award party to save the insignificant money."
Lucien asked a bit expectantly, "Ms. Florencia, what are the two seventh-circle spells that you've been using for so long?"
"Well, it's a secret. You'll know when you get them." Florencia teased Lucien, "Being curious and looking forward to them is the secret to staying young."
Zi … Zi … Zi … The electromagnetic messaging spell was cut off, leaving Lucien to read the books such as Astrology and Elements and Encyclopedia of Senior-Rank Magic, wondering what magic effects his two rings and one magic robe would have.
Alferris, who had shrunk in size, was lying on the couch and checking his salary again and again with great interest.
…
In a meditation room in the Radiance Church.
Rex, the president of the Parliament of Nobles, the King's Griffin, was having a meeting with Philibell and Vaharall, the leader of the Inquisition.
"Lex, I understand what you mean, and I agree with your idea. I will report this to the Holy City." There was no anger on Philibell's face, only a little tiredness.
In the Kingdom of Holm and the other three countries, the Church was at a complete disadvantage. After all, the branches of the Congress of Magic were concentrated in a few cities, and most of the legendary sorcerers were in Allyn. The Church, on the other hand, had to consider other forces if they wanted to gather the experts.
Shi Dong, the captain of the Holy Grail Knight Order, who had always appeared to be eager to start a war, was also quite calm at this moment. "We are relieved to know the attitude of the nobles. I hope that you can cooperate well when the opportunity arises. We will try our best to settle this matter. "
It would be best not to start the war when the Congress of Magic was ready. Shi Dong was not an idiot. He would choose the most difficult path and wait for an opportunity to win over the nobles. It was not against his creed as a Knight.
Although Vaharall and Varantine were not very satisfied, it was worth it to change the attitude of the nobles in Holm, Calais, and Brianne.
"But as far as I know, the nobles like James and Russell are more inclined to the Congress of Magic. Do you have any ideas, Lex?" Philibell raised the issue of the internal division of the nobles.
Rex nodded seriously, "The so-called liberal nobles who are inclined to the Congress of Magic are actually very few. They only account for about ten percent of the total number of the nobles in the kingdom, and less than half of the total number of the nobles who are close to the Church. Most of the other nobles are neutral, but they are definitely not against the Church. As long as the situation is in their favor, they will completely support us."
"Lex, you forgot that most of the nobles are on the same side as the lord. You are not the king of Holm, nor the heir to the throne." As a Holy Knight, Shi Dong knew the mentality of the nobles better than anyone else. If the nobles did not lose their mind because of the benefits, they would definitely unite around the lord. No matter how stupid the nobles were, they knew that once their loyalty to the lord was trampled on, they would fall apart and rely on the Church to maintain their rule. They would lose their independent status.
After a short silence, Rex lowered his voice, "I'm confident that I can persuade the king."
"His Majesty Feltis is very old, and his rank as a Knight is not high. He might be summoned by the Lord in a couple of years. Are you sure you can find an opportunity in a couple of years?" Philibell slightly shook his head. As a clergyman who had been treating Feltis for a long time, he knew Feltis' physical condition very well. He knew that Feltis was very old and could not live for more than a couple of years. This was a trend that divine spells could not reverse.
Rex's face looked very gloomy, but he did not deny it.
Philibell looked at the others and continued in a calm tone, "But Prince Patrick is too inclined to the Congress of Magic."
"Yes, Prince Patrick is too inclined to the Congress of Magic." Rex repeated in a low voice.
…
At eight o 'clock on Sunday evening, the Allyn branch of the Will of Elements was ablaze with lights and people were drinking and chatting.
"Lucien, President Morris will be in a bad mood for a long time. Don't talk to him unless it's something very important." Holding a glass of wine, Gaston teased Morris who was pretending to be smiling while greeting other senior-rank sorcerers.
The members of Arcana Review Board gathered together, surrounded by their students and friends, such as Larry, Ulysses, K, and Lazar from the Atom Institution, Lucien and other sorcerers.
Lucien shook his head and smiled, "After the gate of the microscopic world is opened, there will be a lot of great contributions in the field of Elements. Mr. Morris, you have to adapt to this situation in advance."
"Is that so?" Morris's voice came out from behind the crowd like a ghost. His tone was thick with "gnashing teeth".
He just came back from greeting the guests with Florencia and some other senior members. When he heard what Lucien said, he immediately felt that his heart was pierced by a sharp arrow.
"Of course, this is a brand new field. This is a field that involves the deep mysteries of matter." As if Lucien did not notice Morris' "hatred", he said frankly to the members, "So I suggest that we change the Holm Crown prize to an annual one."
"What? An annual one? Absolutely not! "Morris' voice was a bit high, and his face was very serious.
Florencia looked at Lucien with a smile, wondering why her teacher was being irritated. The other senior members of the Will of Elements also looked at Lucien in confusion.
Lucien smiled casually, "If there are no achievements in a year that are worth awarding, the prize will be left vacant. If there are several achievements, we can only award one ring a year. In this way, we can avoid the pain of awarding several rings at a time. Also, it's better to award the rings at a fixed time so that the sorcerers in the Congress will be looking forward to it."
"That's a good idea!" Morris agreed.
"But the problem is that it will only postpone the awarding of the rings, and it will not reduce the loss of the warehouse fundamentally." Seeing that her teacher was smiling, Florencia could not help but give him a blow. At the same time, she looked at Lucien with a smile. What was he trying to do?
Florencia did not believe that Lucien would make such a suggestion without any purpose.
Lucien shook the wine glass and smiled, "Neither the materials nor the money will grow if they are kept in the warehouse. But what if they are used to invest in profitable projects? If the awarding of a Holm Crown ring is postponed for a year, how much can the annuity return be? The ring will belong to someone else sooner or later, so why not use it to make some annuity return? A pool of stagnant water will rot slowly, and the flowing spring will stay clear for a long time. "
"What are you trying to do?" Morris and the other apprentices were not fools. Of course, they knew what Lucien was trying to do.
Lucien smiled, "I've talked with Mr. Arthur Doyle of Holm Mining Union Bank. He is very interested in the electricity generated by the conversion of water flow. For example, we can reduce the materials and requirements of the magic crystal lamp and promote it among the nobles, or we can transform the magic that can preserve sound into alchemical items, or we can build magic towers on a large scale and use other methods to greatly reduce the level of electromagnetic messaging. I believe that it will be a very suitable alchemical item for popularizing."
Morris and the other apprentices knew that Lucien had made a lot of money through Jinkela. They all nodded slightly, feeling that it was not a bad idea.
Lucien continued, "More importantly, once the nobles, citizens and farmers get used to the life of popularizing magic, their faith in the Church will be shaken and reduced. We sorcerers do not need the help and trust of ordinary people, but since the Church has been preaching, it means that they must have a certain demand in that regard. What the enemy wants is what we have to destroy! "
"When the foundation of the Church's existence is shaken, they will not be far away from their decline."
"This is the general trend brought by the development of magic. In front of it, any attempt to stop it will be completely crushed!"
"Let's talk about this in a few days." Morris was quite "tempted", so he turned around and proposed to the other senior apprentices.
Seeing that no one objected, Lucien was really happy in his mind. If he continued to promote alchemical items like this, he would definitely be attacked by the Church in the middle period. If he kept all the benefits to himself, the other sorcerers would definitely laugh at him. Therefore, he might as well take the opportunity to pull the Will of Elements into the war chariot.
Greed could cloud one's mind, but it could not cloud one's mind.
Morris, who was in a better mood, stepped onto the platform in front of him and said to all the guests,
"Ladies and gentlemen, the development of arcana and magic is moving forward like a steam locomotive, bringing unprecedented changes. Today, we are going to award Holm Crown prize to two outstanding arcanists for their outstanding contributions in the field of Element and Alchemy."
"First of all, let's welcome Mr. Lucien Evans from the Order of Elements."
When Lucien stood on the side, Morris began his speech, "Lucien Evans has discovered a new particle, opened the gate to the microscopic world, and made groundbreaking contributions to the development of Element magic. His research in the field of Element is of great importance, and maybe he will bring us a new era of microscopic power! "
Morris took out a unique ring, which looked like it was made of two silver rings. In the middle of the ring, there was a pure blue gem, which was very beautiful.
"The Will of Elements and the Holm Royal Magic Academy thank Mr. Evans for his great contribution to the development of Element magic with this ring. This is the thirtieth Holm Crown prize, and its name is' Electron '."
Origin was the twenty-eighth Holm Crown, and Ionization was the twenty-ninth. Therefore, Lucien was the first one to receive the prize, and Origin was the second one to receive the prize.
In the applause, Lucien took over the ring. On the inside of the ring was written, "Holm Crown, 819, to Mr. Lucien Evans."
Soon, Lucien left his spiritual imprint on the ring and got the information about the ring.
"Holm Crown Ring, Electron, level seven perfect rank magic item (one layer of seal). Only senior-rank sorcerers can unlock the seal and fully utilize its power."
"This unique ring is powerful because of the constant seventh-circle spell, Antimagic Ray!"
