Lucien had almost forgotten about the dwarves until he was reminded by Natasha. He stopped eating the caviar and chuckled. "Didn't I tell you about the adventure on the Night Highland before?"
"Yes, you were so bad. You added an additional layer of defense outside of the vampire Count's defense core, making it even more 'solid'!" Even now, Natasha couldn't help but smile when she talked about it. Lucien was always full of what he called bad taste, but she liked it!
Lucien was quite proud of his response at that time, too. "It was exactly that time. In order to trick the dwarves back, I pretended to be their God of Steam and intentionally 'showed' an illusionary paradise — Atlantis. It was the future that I wanted to see. Hehe. At that time, I even imagined that I could build an alchemical bomb that looked like a rising sun with the great progress in elements and alchemy. As you know, reality is even more bizarre than fantasy. 'Eternal Blaze' already existed."
Now that they were talking about dwarves, Lucien briefly explained 'Atlantis' in advance.
Hearing Lucien's description, Natasha was stunned at first. Then, she laughed so hard that she almost fell on the table. "I was wondering what the dwarves were worshipping. So, they were worshipping alchemical bombs. Haha. So interesting! I've never seen such an interesting religion before! "
I've seen it before when I was playing games. Lucien smiled and looked at Natasha, who was laughing so hard that she was convulsing.
Trying to control herself, Natasha said, "According to the intelligence department, after the explosion of 'Eternal Blaze' a while ago, the dwarves were almost crazy. They worshipped the silver, haha, silver iron bomb devoutly, shouting that the gods were watching over them and that Atlantis had arrived. They also kept asking who cast 'Eternal Blaze' at that time. They believed that he was the oracle of the God of Steam, the chosen one, hehe, a saint."
"If they knew that it was the magic that I created, I would've been demoted to the chosen one as the God of Steam." Lucien shook his head and had weird thoughts. If the dwarves continued developing and perfecting their doctrines and rituals, would the power of faith be gathered on him? Or would it be gathered on the "nuclear bomb"?
Lucien did not have any desire to become a god for now. Ell was a good example. However, it had always been his idea to study the gathering of the power of faith. Unveiling the veil of the gods would certainly reveal the deeper mysteries of the world.
After discussing the naturalization of the dwarves, Natasha wiped her mouth with a napkin. "I'll allocate the redundant abbeys to the town halls as the addresses of the generic schools."
After the South Church evacuated, the population of the moderates was much lower than in their heyday. In order to control them, Natasha took part of the abbeys and the land of the Church into the royal family and the country, filling up the queen's treasury and the kingdom's treasury. That was why she agreed to Lucien's plan of establishing the generic schools without any hesitation. She was using her private property and did not need the vote of the Parliament of Nobles.
"After the school that you and the Congress jointly establish raises batch after batch of talents, I believe that the royal family will be even more stable," Lucien said with a smile.
Natasha put down the napkin and looked at Lucien with a smile. "Of course, I'll support your plan. Also, you've convinced me, too."
Lucien nodded solemnly and solemnly. "If the environment does not change, and the society is still underdeveloped, what's the joy of being successful and commanding in such a society? What's the point of being the leader of a bunch of pigs? A real arcanist should promote the progress of society and make mankind more civilized so that everybody can enjoy the convenience and comfort brought by alchemical items. That's the greatest achievement … "
Hearing Lucien's honest words, Natasha's expression became very calm, and her eyes were very focused. Lucien was more charming than ever.
After Lucien finished, Natasha finally said with a brilliant smile, "Yes. Being a queen in a poor, underdeveloped country where many people don't even know the basic language is more enjoyable than seeing your own country prosper and develop."
Lucien looked at Leo and the two maids who were standing around and rose with a smile. "Let me show you the specific view of Atlantis."
Natasha was stunned at first, and her lips twitched. Then she realized that Lucien had other things to say. So, she picked up the black Knight hat next to her and put it on, before she followed Lucien into the living room unhurriedly.
After Lucien turned on the independent magic circles, she asked solemnly, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing important for now. Weren't you 'angry' that I didn't tell you that I advanced into legendary?" Lucien looked at Natasha with a smile.
Natasha seemed to have remembered something and blushed. Then, she coughed and thought quickly. "You're planning to hide the fact that you've advanced into legendary? To deal with the legendary experts that the Church might send to erase you? "
Lucien raised his thumb. Natasha had always been keen on such matters. "Yes, to weaken the legendary experts of the Church as much as possible. If I announce the matter, they probably won't take any action but attack you in another way. After all, a legendary sorcerer can barely be killed. Also, you're still covered by Kritonia's shadow. I'm trying to solve the two problems together. "
Knowing that Lucien did that mostly to help her deal with Kritonia, Natasha was about to object, but after seeing Lucien's resolute eyes, she gave up the idea and smiled. "The problem is that you can only plan to assassinate other people all the time. How can you be prepared for assassinations all the time?"
"So, we have to find an opportunity to bait them out together." Lucien said without any hesitation. As long as they underestimated him, he would be able to stall them until Mr. President, his teacher, Granny Hathaway and other reinforcements arrived.
Natasha held her right elbow with her left hand and scratched her chin with her right hand. "Kritonia and the possible assassins of the Church shouldn't be fooled so easily. They're very experienced. If we do anything wrong, we'll be discovered and taken advantage of."
"Yes, we can't wander around on purpose. We have to have a valid and unsuspicious reason." Lucien frowned.
Natasha considered how to create an opportunity too. Suddenly, her eyes glittered, and she clapped her hands. "Wedding! Our wedding! Although Granny Hathaway, the Lord of Storm and other guests will be present, it will certainly be chaotic, which will give the assassins an opportunity. "
"Everybody knows our relationship. It's perfectly normal to have a wedding after the situation is stabilized. Nobody will be suspicious." Lucien nodded in agreement.
Natasha added, "Also, we can go further. For example, you're a grand arcanist, and I'm a queen. Our wedding must be equal. Either we have one in the Nekso Palace and one in Allyn, or you come to the Nekso Palace to pick up my father, Aunt Camille and the members of the royal family of Holm and bring them to Allyn. In such a case, Granny Hathaway will be the only one who will protect us on the way. There will be room for assassination."
The wedding was supposed to be held in a church. However, Lucien was a sorcerer, and a church was clearly not suitable for it.
"If the Church takes action, it will probably be the Original Fire or the remaining giants of the Inquisition. I've analyzed their records and found that they are both bold and cautious. The only problem is whether or not Kritonia is on their side. If he isn't, how can they ensure that they have extra hands to deal with Granny Hathaway? We have to come up with two different plans for that. "Lucien replied quickly. The two of them discussed the framework of the matter one after another.
In the end, Natasha asked, "When will you be able to engrave the remaining two legendary spells into your soul?"
"Half a year at the earliest, and seven or eight months at the latest." Lucien gave his own timeline.
Natasha nodded and smiled. "Then, we'll hold the wedding on April 10 next year, the day we separated for the first time. I'll leak the news first. Is there enough time?"
"Yes." Lucien believed that he had enough time to craft his unique legendary items, but the problem was that he did not have the precious materials that were suitable for legendary.
Natasha seemed to have guessed what was on Lucien's mind. She chuckled. "After the wedding is settled, you'll be my real fiancé. The treasury of the royal family will be open to you. I hope that there are legendary materials that are suitable for you. If there aren't, you can trade them with other legendary sorcerers, such as Granny Hathaway and the Lord of Storm."
Even though the royal family of Holm had been accumulating for hundreds of years, there were still very few legendary materials. There were no more than five kinds.
"Well …" They were too precious. Even as greedy as Lucien was a bit hesitant. However, after seeing Natasha's firm and smiling eyes, he immediately became free and easy. He nodded with a smile. "Okay."
After discussing the matter, Lucien scratched his head in confusion. "So to speak, our wedding is settled? I haven't proposed yet. "
Wasn't it too unconventional?
Natasha was briefly stunned. "Well, you want me to propose?"
After that, both she and Lucien were amused. They had unique experiences, personalities, and ways of getting along with each other. Why should they pursue convention?
Natasha extended her right hand and held Lucien's left hand.
She said in a low voice, "If they really dare to come, let the blood of legends dye the carpet of our wedding red!
"This may be the most unforgettable wedding." Lucien agreed with a smile. In the meantime, he reminded her, "You must not be careless in the coming months. You must be very, very, very careful."
… …
In the afternoon, the two of them spent time in the magic tower. At night, when Lucien was about to take Natasha to the Sky Radio Station, he suddenly received a message from Samantha. "We've received a strange channel. It seems to be a new radio station established by the Church."
"Is that so? I'll listen to it. "Lucien and Natasha looked at each other and saw the curiosity in each other's eyes.
