Chapter 591 Magical Life
The villa, which occupies an extremely large area, is surrounded by a high wall, and black iron railings form the outermost gate, and two soldiers in silver-gray chain mail guard the door, opening the iron door for a richly decorated aristocratic carriage.
"It seems like a dance party?" Lucian was not a mad magician who didn't understand the common sense of life among nobles, and combined with the brightly lit conditions of the villa, he could judge what was going on inside at a glance.
After hesitating a little about whether to come back later, Lucian quickly made up his mind, anyway, he came to the door, and he was still worried about what to do with this, worry, and that?
The magic fluctuations on his body flashed unattainably, and Lucian walked towards the door at an unslow pace.
Due to the nobles' emphasis on decency and demeanor, the ball would come in a carriage no matter how close it was to their home, so Lucian, who approached like a commoner, was obviously not an invited guest.
But at this time, they suddenly felt that Lucian was full of majesty, personable, and had the insignia of the Hoffenberg family on his chest, obviously a nobleman of extremely high status, so they lowered their heads, opened the door, and welcomed this distinguished guest.
"Simple spells can pass through the guards......" Lucian shook his head slightly as he entered the gate, guarding the gate with knightly attendants could only defend against ordinary personnel, but fortunately, there were knights from the kingdom's intelligence department in the shadows, but they knew themselves without a doubt, "We have to find an opportunity to set up some alert magic traps to prevent the church from attacking Uncle Joel and the others."
Although the church does not do things without scruples like the Silver and White Horn cult, it is always good to be prepared, and there are many lunatics among the night watchmen.
The weather was hot in July, but it was still cooler at night in Rentatt, which was only a few hours away from the sea, and Lucian, who was bathed in the evening breeze, walked on the Garden Avenue, smelling the strong fragrance of flowers, as if blending into the shadows, so that the several noble carriages that came to the ball in front of him could not find that there was such a walker on the side of the road.
The garden was not big, Lucian quickly came to the vicinity of the three-story villa, where all the magic crystal lamps lit up, dazzling, making the building look beautiful.
The common night scene on Earth is revealed here.
On the steps of the villa, Alyssa, who was still so strong, held up her Aalto-style court dress tightly, and greeted guests one after another with several maids.
"Miss Noble is more than normal......" Lucian muttered to himself slightly puzzled, then took a light breath and walked directly towards Alyssa.
Alyssa had a smile on her face, and she looked at the noble ladies who came to the ball with joy, greeting them warmly.
After many years of aristocratic life, she was no longer as restrained as she used to be, and she looked generous and decent, and her son John was a great knight brought by Her Majesty the Queen from Aalto, and was obviously reused, responsible for the affairs of some squads of the Knights of the Sword of Truth.
"Viscount Turner, madam, Miss Kailin, welcome to this ball." Alyssa greeted the new guests with a smile and was especially enthusiastic about the tall and slender gentle girl with blonde hair and blue eyes that were different from Holm's style.
Viscount Turner knew the purpose of Alyssa's ball, and smiled and nodded: "It is our honor to be able to participate in your ball, madam."
Kailin also responded generously and politely with aristocratic etiquette.
"There is still some time before the ball starts, take Viscount Turner and the others to the small living room to rest." Alyssa ordered the servants beside her.
When the Turner family entered, Alyssa was once again full of smiles, ready to welcome new guests, but the familiar black-haired and black-eyed man on the steps stunned her for a moment, the smile on her face froze, and she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, looking like she was still in a dream
I have never seen him wear a black double-breasted long dress, but it fits like that, matching his temperament, the child in his heart seems to have become a mature and stable man in an instant, Alyssa is emotionally rolling, her eyes suddenly turn red, her mouth is slightly open, and she whispers: "Little Evans?"
"Aunt Alyssa." Lucian calmed down and walked towards Alyssa with a smile.
Alyssa still looked like she was dreaming, shaking her head in disbelief, the surprise of seeing her again was entangled with the shame of having told her: "Little Evans?"
"What's wrong? Aunt Alyssa, you don't know me anymore?" Lucian laughed.
Lucian's kind and undistant attitude made Alyssa's other emotions disappear, leaving only excitement and joy, she forgot the aristocratic demeanor she had worked so hard to cultivate over the years, and began to cry as if she had been in the ghetto.
She rubbed her eyes and said very quickly: "Little Evans, have you really come back to see us? I thought you hated me for betraying you."
"That's what I asked you to do, didn't I?" Lucian smiled and hugged Aunt Alyssa, "In my heart, you are like my family."
"Oh, this, that's great." Alyssa looked at Lucian excitedly, "Little Evans, you have grown taller, so much taller than before!"
She trembled with her right hand compared Lucian's original height, and years of repression and self-blame were finally expressed, without waiting for Lucian to answer, she pulled him inside and walked inside: "I have to, I have to tell Joel, tell little John, little Evans is finally back!"
The servant next to him looked curiously at the hostess's tearful face, not daring to remind her that she still had to welcome guests, so she had to find a housekeeper to support the scene.
Along the way, Alyssa cried and nagged, thinking that Lucian was tall, but he was thin and haggard, which caused many guests to look sideways and think about what happened.
When she was about to approach the small living room, Alyssa stopped crying, took out a white handkerchief to wipe her eyes, and then patted her forehead: "I, I forgot, little John is still on duty at Nexer Palace, it will be over a while, Joel has been invited by the Musicians Association and has not yet returned!"
"It's okay, I'll wait a moment......" Before Lucian finished speaking, Alyssa spun around on her own, excited and panicked: "I have to tell them, tell them that you are back, tell them right away! Little Evans, you go to the small living room to rest, I'll call them to urge!"
After saying that, she hurried to the location of the study, completely forgetting to lead Lucian to the small living room.
Seeing Aunt Alyssa's excited and happy appearance at a loss, Lucian didn't mind being "forgotten" by her, but smiled and shook his head, his heart was warm, he should have come back a long time ago.
Without any restraint, Lucian seemed to have returned to his home, walked into the small living room without error, and saw Viscount Turner's family and several other noble guests, who were communicating with each other's feelings, looking at Lucian, a stranger, with slightly curious eyes.
In the center of the living room, a strange and delicate machine rotates a black disk, playing melodious and clear music, filling the room with a romantic and elegant atmosphere.
After nodding lightly in greeting, Lucian walked to the wall familiarly and opened the hidden magic refrigerator, and the crystal lamp inside lit up to reflect the chilled champagne and other drinks.
Just as he was about to close the door of the magic refrigerator, a voice-changing male voice came from behind: "This is the magic refrigerator, an alchemy item invented by the great Lucian Evans, so that we can enjoy the refreshing cold at any time in the hot summer."
Oh? With his name said from others in such a way, Lucian felt very strange and didn't know how to answer for a while.
He saw that Lucian did not answer, and thought he didn't know the origin of the magic refrigerator, so he enthusiastically introduced him: "This kind of magic refrigerator is produced very little, and only the great aristocrats and a few ordinary aristocratic families can enjoy it.
"Well, the popularization and daily life of alchemy is the idea proposed by the great alchemist His Excellency Lucian Evans, which has fundamentally changed our lives, hasn't it?"
The little boy seems to admire Lucian very much, and his personality is also very cheerful.
"Of course, I like this kind of life." Lucian smiled and looked at the little boy.
The little boy was recognized and very happy: "Viscount Wellesley is one of Her Majesty's most valued knights, so his family has a lot of novel alchemy items, which temporarily only belong to the great nobles.
He pointed to Kailyn when he spoke, and the cousin in his mouth seemed to be her, and Wellesley was John's last name.
Seeing Lucian's gaze following the little boy's gesture, Kailyn smiled politely: "The magic gramophone has just been invented, and I have seen it for the first time, and I like it very much."
The little boy happily added: "This is also the design idea proposed by His Excellency Evans."
A few years ago, he told the executives of the Elemental Will about the idea of the magic gramophone, hoping to simplify the magic circle that stores sound, but due to not finding a good storage material, it has not been successful, until a few months ago, Gaston's "Life Matter Synthesis Laboratory" stumbled upon a natural resin material that could be used for simplification, so that the magic gramophone really appeared in this world.
"Actually, Viscount Wellesley's family also has a special alchemy item." Kailyn seemed to like this magical life very well, and became interested in the little boy's endless narration, pointing to the silver-gray box hanging high in the room and said: "I once saw it at a banquet at Duke James's house, called a magic air conditioner, which can make it cool in summer, and in winter, it can be used to dispel the cold with the fireplace."
"Really?" The little boy had never noticed the "magic air conditioner" at a high place before, and his eyes were wide open and looked up, looking very interested.
Kailin smiled and said, "You can feel its cool breeze, and it is also the masterpiece of the Grand Arcanist His Excellency Lucian Evans."
"Oh, really? It's great!" The little boy excitedly circled around, "Cousin Kailin, I must learn magic in the future, I want to become a great magician, a great alchemist!"
Viscount Turner joked about his nephew: "Hawke, strive for the Holm Crown Award."
"Hmm." The little boy shook his finger proudly, "The Holm Crown Award is not my goal, the Lucian Evans Award is! When you attend a party in the future, if someone asks who this is, you can be honored to introduce it, this is Mr. Hawke, the winner of the Evans Arcane Award, uncle, tell you, Cousin Kailyn also wants to win the Lucian Evans Award, but her goal is the Evans Medical Award."
"If our family had two Evans Award winners, tsk, what a face." Turner looked at his daughter amusedly.
Being exposed by Hawke in front of strangers, Kailin was a little shy, changed the subject, and asked Lucian: "This gentleman, I don't know what to call you?"
Lucian rubbed his chin with his right hand: "You can call me Lucian Evans."
