Before stepping into the "Longbergen" hotel, Lucian thought for a moment, took off the magic badge, leaving only the four-star arcane badge, and at the same time took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from his pocket and put them on, two shimmering metallic chains hanging over his slightly emaciated face.
After being identified by Prince Patrick of Holm, Lucian bought a pair of glasses without any prescription in Alinge to disguise himself slightly when meeting outsiders. It's probably late, but it's better to make it than not to do it.
After tidying up his bow tie, Lucian stepped steadily into the "Longbergen" hotel.
…………
Inside the hotel, sunlight shines through the glass windows, creating a quiet and brilliant atmosphere.
Two beautiful blonde elves, a man and a woman, were sitting on a sofa in the corner, waiting for the visitors of the Magic Council, surrounded by several equally exquisite-looking elven guards and maids.
In the entire hotel lobby, except for them, there were only the boss and waiters, and there were no other guests.
"Brother, that 'Elemental Order' Lucian Evans is said to be not only the youngest winner of the Holm Crown Award, but also a level 4 arcanist, his magical strength should be close to the advanced level, what should we do?" The extremely beautiful and delicate female elf asked worriedly.
She originally thought that she would follow her teacher to join the research group composed of high-level arcanists, but when the time came, she could secretly change the land environment and tamper with some experimental data to achieve her goal, but she was temporarily assigned to the Holm Crown Prize winner, who was "supposedly" talented and had a research on elemental magic comparable to that of high-level arcanists.
In order to ensure that Lucian's reputation plays a maximum role, the Magic Council Affairs Committee deliberately forgot Lucian's magic level in the message to the druids, and gave him a loud nickname like the professional name of a legendary magician. After several discussions, it was finally determined that it was "Elemental Order", and the corresponding Felipe did not hide his magic level, but only had the nickname "Restorer".
"Estine, don't be pessimistic. First of all, we can cooperate passively and deliberately omit the part of the divine magic mark given, and secondly, since we are the main force of the experiment, we can openly 'make mistakes' when recording key data." The elf prince Exilion replied calmly, with a deep disgust for humans destroying nature, "At the same time, we are delaying as much time as possible, the royal court is uniting with other elders to overwhelm the opposition, and then put pressure on the great elder together, maybe it won't be long before we can return to the fresh and beautiful forest."
Estine sat on the sofa and smiled quietly: "I hope we can help keep nature green and clean. However, various life inventions of human beings are actually quite good, such as these sofas are both soft and elastic, and they are very comfortable to sit on."
Exilion's face became serious: "Ellestine, don't forget that these sofas are made by humans cutting down trees. I seem to hear the cry of the trees, don't fall into enjoyment! What could be more comfortable and happy than sitting on a big tree full of vitality?"
Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by his brother for his small sigh, and Estine was a little depressed, but he nodded solemnly: "Brother, I will not forget the gifts of nature and the elf tree."
She quietly clenched her fists, and she must crush the evil humans reaching out to nature's claws.
At this time, they saw a young man of medium stature walking in at the door of the hotel, wearing a white shirt, a dark vest, a double-breasted long dress, a high black top hat on his head, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face.
"As far as humans are concerned, he is good-looking and has a good temperament." The elf prince and princess subconsciously evaluated each other's appearance, which was the most basic reaction to human society after being accustomed to looking above the level, but their eyes quickly shifted to the beautiful ring inlaid with lilac gemstones on each other's right hand, and its unique shape had been transmitted to them with the message of the Magic Council.
"Holm Crown Ring? Is he 'Elemental Order' Lucian Evans?" Exilion and Estine stood up at the same time, even if they were members of the elven royal family, they had to maintain a certain respect when facing a Holm Crown Prize winner and a powerful figure close to the "high-end", and the domineering nickname subtly affected their senses of Lucian.
"Hello, are you Your Highness Prince Exileon and Your Highness Princess Estine?" Lucian politely took off his top hat to say hello, while secretly thanking the committee members who assigned him tasks. Because Felipe's strength was significantly higher than his own, the higher-level druids who wanted to make trouble were all assigned to his group, leaving only the princes and princesses of the fourth and third level druids with noble status.
As for their noble status, Lucian was not an elf clan, so he naturally existed like grass paper.
Of course, their elf guards are relatively powerful, according to the mission information, there is a level seven magic archer Angst and a level six elf knight Tyriel.
Facing Lucian, who pays attention to etiquette and has an elegant temperament, Exilion and Estine also responded with court etiquette: "Yes, we are members of the Struman Day Elf Court. Are you Mr. Lucian Evans of the 'Elemental Order'?"
Lucian's mouth opened and he almost forgot to close it, is such a domineering nickname his own? Ms. Florence really thinks that her strength is not low enough.
When he came back to his senses, Lucian made a gesture to invite the two elves to sit down: "Your Highness the Prince and Your Highness the Princess, we still have to wait for the two members to start the research of divine magic. The 100 acres of land in the southeast of the town belong to us, some are fertile and some are barren, so it is easy to do comparative experiments."
"Comparison experiment." Both Exilion and Estine had a bit of a headache for obviously professional vocabulary, but their purpose was to procrastinate anyway, so they changed the topic and talked to Lucian about music, painting, sculpture and other arts.
Fortunately, they are facing a "genius musician" who has been in the art circle for a long time, but the two sides have a good conversation and there is no cold scene.
Due to Lucian's own bias, the final topic basically focused on music, the natural music from the development of elves for tens of thousands of years gave Lucian a great experience and a lot of inspiration, and Lucian's rigorous structure and emotional music also touched the two elves.
"The most valuable of you humans are musicians, painters, sculptors, playwrights, etc. Art is the best reward for nature, unlike nobles and magicians who only destroy nature." Speaking of which, Exilion seems to have forgotten that opposite is the winner of the Holm Crown Prize, an "authority" in the field of elemental magic, and regards him as an artist.
Lucian looked down at the arcane badge on his chest, and secretly sighed that these two prejudices were really serious, and the first thing humans wanted to be satisfied with was survival. In such a different world full of magical creatures, without noble knights, magicians, priests, etc., humans cannot exist, let alone art, and humans are not born with magic patterns like elves.
While Lucian was absentmindedly talking perfunctory about the two elves, two more magicians came in at the door, one was an elderly man wearing a black hooded robe, the arcane badge on his chest was five silver stars on a black background, the magic badge was four rings on a silver background, and the other was a middle-aged yellow-haired man wearing a night dress, arcane level was level 4, magic level was level three, these were the other two members of Lucian's experimental team, Theodore and Julian.
After introducing each other, the elderly Theodore said in a loud voice: "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I wonder if I can fill my stomach first? I'm the kind of person who can't work when I'm hungry."
Exilion agreed very much with this delay, and smiled elegantly: "I didn't have dinner with Estine in the morning, Mr. Evans, why don't we go together?"
The arrival of the two magicians made him realize that the artistic Evans in front of him was the "elemental order" and a terrifying genius magician.
Lucian nodded tacitly in agreement, they wanted to delay time, why didn't he want to trip them and prevent them from making trouble everywhere, anyway, as a quasi-knight, his appetite has always been good.
…………
In the hotel restaurant, Lucian was cutting sausages with a knife and fork, while Theodore and Julian next to him were eating bloody three-mature steaks early in the morning.
Seeing this scene, Arestine put down her knife and fork and said with an ugly face: "Why do you humans mutilate other creatures to satisfy your desires? What is wrong with animals such as cows and sheep that they are to be slaughtered and eaten by you? And they're friends of humans! You have been destroying nature, but you don't know how to understand its tolerance, and you will eventually be punished by nature!"
Exilion also had an expression of extreme disgust.
Theodore and Yurian put down their knives and forks with unhappy faces, feeling that these two elves were really rude to the extreme.
Lucian casually picked up a piece of sausage and ate it, then glanced at the emerald green fruit on the plate of Estine and Exilion, and said slowly: "Why do you elves mutilate other creatures to satisfy their own desires? What is wrong with plants that you want to deprive them of their children, their fruits? According to the view of the Necromancers and the church, plants have vitality, don't you think so?"
"You! Mr. Evans, I also think you are a caring artist, and it seems that you are still an evil magician by nature. 'Enjoy' your own breakfast! Come to us to study magic when it's over." Estine angrily accused, then dropped the napkin with Exilion and left the table.
Watching them disappear at the door of the restaurant, Theodore looked at Lucian appreciatively: "I didn't expect Mr. Evans, who looked gentle and calm, to satirize them so directly, exposing the hypocrisy of these extreme elves."
"Protecting nature is protecting ourselves, but only if we can survive and thrive." Lucian said seriously first, and then smiled humorously, "And everything that prevents me from eating meat is 'heresy'."
Lucian, who originally had a good impression of the elves in the story in his previous life, did not reject it and even fantasized about having a beautiful relationship with an elf lady, but now it seems that the way is different and not the same!
"I like this sentence, everything that prevents me from eating meat is 'heresy'!" Theodore cut a piece of steak into his mouth.
Lucian wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, clearly knowing that both Theodore and Yurian in front of him were not good at researching arcanists, and the arcane badges and magic badges on his chest were all fake. They are members of the Battle Mage Department of the Affairs Committee, and are magicians whose spiritual power and combat talent are far higher than those of arcane talent.
Among them, Theodore has just entered the high-level threshold, he is a third-level arcanist and a six-ring magician, while Yurian is a second-level arcanist and a five-ring magician.
"Two druids who are deliberately causing trouble and refuse to really cooperate, two battle-mad magicians, plus me, a 'unworthy' level 4 arcanist, this is really an arcane 'research' group that is very good at it in addition to research." Lucian took a sip of white water and secretly scolded himself.
As long as it does not hinder your own learning and analysis.
