Chapter 2 Simple Ritual
After hearing the short old man's words, Lucien secretly complained: "I can't even bear to say anything praise..."
However, on the surface, Lucien said modestly and politely: "Yes, sir, I still have a lot to improve and learn." The perverted old man could sit next to His Excellency Hathaway, at least a legendary magician, and he was always right to say it according to his words.
Gaston, who led Lucien in, smiled and said, "Evens, this is the great arcane Lord Hathaway." He pointed to the beautiful lady first and introduced that he was indeed the "elemental dominator" of Lucien's conjecture, the direct bloodline of Holm's royal family, and Natasha didn't know how many generations ago "ancestors" they had.
"The mystery is above. Your brilliance shines on the entire world of elementals." Lucien held his chest with his left hand and pressed his forehead with his right hand. He greeted Hathaway with the highest etiquette of the official magic council. He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason, and he felt like he was seeing his elders. For every legendary magician, according to the long tradition, he had a unique tribute.
Hathaway nodded coldly with a cold expression: "The path of mystery and truth cannot tolerate any slackness."
She was less than words, and her words were concise, as if she was just talking about a simple truth, and she seemed to be mentioning Lucien.
When Hathaway finished speaking, Gaston turned his eyes to the short old man in a bright red robe. The smile on his face revealed a little fear that he had not noticed, as if he was afraid that he would say something wrong and would welcome merciless criticism and accusations.
"Evens, this is Lord Fernando Baalista." After a few considerations, Gaston introduced it in the simplest and simplest words without adding any modifications or other words.
Master of the Storm? The perverted old man is Master of the Storm? Lucien was quite surprised. According to the rumors he heard, Master of the Storm should be a stubborn and serious, unkind, unfaithful arcane who is not afraid of authority, and faces errors and zero tolerance, just like his legendary title. This short and innocent old man can vaguely see that he looks handsome when he was young, and his humorous jokes left a deep impression on Lucien.
But thinking that Gaston could not deceive himself with such a thing, unless he wanted to be overwhelmed by the roar of the real storm, the roar of the storm, Lucien saluted again solemnly: "The secret is above. You are the storm, lightning, and the master of the sky."
When he was performing his rituals, Lucien became careful and carefully considered his words. He was a little afraid of which word he had roared and was roared. Mr. Ravendi's roar and the storm master must not be on the same level.
"Don't be so careful, except for arcane and magical mistakes. I rarely argue about anything else, such as when Oliver discusses paintings and dramas, I never interrupt." Fernando laughed and defended himself, allowing Lucien to relax.
But the others didn't think so. Florence said to Lucien with his mouth, "That's because he doesn't understand at all."
Without waiting for Gaston to introduce others, Fernando said bluntly: "Lucion, Tangpu recommended it to me after seeing your first paper. I got some inspiration from it. I thought you had basic arcane thinking and certain potential, so I went to the library to see who you are. It's good, a very interesting young man, which is more suitable for my appetite. And then your two papers were not wrong, which is very rare for a young man of your age. You should know that the papers of some guys in the highest review group also have childish mistakes and ridiculous mistakes!"
Although he might be praising himself, Lucien always felt that his words were very strange, and it was not obvious that they were praises, and he completely ignored the fact that there was a top judging group next to him.
"Beltrand Castle and the two missions to send letters to the Dark Mountains show your potential in fighting and handling things. This is what many arcane masters currently lack in the Council, and it is also what the Council is working hard to improve. I hope you can continue to maintain it."
"Lucion, I think what you show should not be limited to elements and astrology, but to enter a wider field. I want you to learn arcane and magic with me and become my student. Do you have any objection?" The storm master Fernando's slightly obscene smile restrained and his expression became serious.
According to Lucien's information, although the Lord of Storm is a great arcane in the thermal power system, he is also good at elements, electromagnetics, force fields, illusions, and light and darkness. He is a rare legendary magician who is so energetic that he can study so many factions at the same time. He has won the highest honors in four different fields, including the Ice and Snow Medal, the Holm Crown Award, the Silver Moon Medal and the Wizard Crown.
After thinking for only a second, Lucien nodded firmly: "It's an honor to be your student."
"Very good, you are my student now." Fernando answered seriously.
"Ah?" Whether it was Lucien, Gaston, Morris, and Florenta blurted out surprise questions, only the cold and quiet "element dominator" Hathaway and the middle-aged man around Fernando had no surprise expressions.
Fernando said hee: "Now we are the relationship between teachers and students, do you have any questions?"
Such a simplicity makes a great arcane teacher a teacher. Lucien suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality, and Gaston and others also felt a little ridiculous and confused. According to the tradition of the ancient magic empire to the Magic Parliament, it is a grand and serious matter to recruit formal students. It requires complex rituals to demonstrate the changes in the identities of both parties.
They always knew that Fernando was impatient, had a bad temper, and hated the troublesome process, but they never expected that his "apprenticeship ceremony" would be so simple that it would be solved with just a few questions and answers!
Seeing that Lucien was a little confused, Fernando looked stern: "It is our business for you to learn arcane and magic with me. Since you want to, I agree, do you still need a troublesome ritual?"
"No need, teacher, I have no doubts." Lucien also hates cumbersome and unnecessary rituals, so he answered freely. The master-apprentice relationship lies in the inner identity of both parties, not the external others.
Gaston didn't expect Lucien to answer so simply, and he felt aware that they were really like masters and apprentices.
Fernando laughed and said, "Today is the day when several of my students gather together to exchange arcane and magic research. Please participate too. Listen to the latest research difficulties more to help you master the basics and choose your next research direction. I have something to talk to Hathaway, and you and Tang Pu go out and wait for me first."
When they returned to the study together, Tang Pu looked at Lucien with a smile: "The teacher never praises others. The evaluation of you just now is very good."
"This is also good..." A strange teacher suddenly appeared, and he was also a famous arcane artist with a bad temper. Lucien was always a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps seeing Lucien's emotions, Florence smiled charmingly, "Little guy, although Your Excellency Fernando is very strict with his disciples, he is the one who loves students the most among all the legendary magicians. If it weren't for him, Your Excellency Hathaway might not agree, and she would rather be Your Excellency Lavender."
"Mr. Ravendi?" If Fernando was not the great arcane, Lucien would rather be the familiar Mr. Ravendi.
Gaston still had that strange expression: "It is said that Lord Ravendi went to find Lord Storm Lord. Someone heard a fierce quarrel breaking out inside. Then Lord Ravendi looked pale and walked out like a storm. Every time he mentioned this, he was not in a good mood."

Aalto, in the referee.
"Agent" Valdo looked at the report in his hand and said angrily: "Lucine Evans is actually a magician. He actually pretended to die. The church and the entire city were teased by him as a fool! You must catch him and tie him to the stolen rack!"
"Is it true?" Cardinal Amoldon said with a calm expression.
The low voice of the "censor" seemed to contain endless anger: "It can be confirmed from the story of John's report and the divine interrogation of the rest of the people that Lucien Evans was not dead. The villa was a trap set by him and the professor. On the one hand, in order to eliminate the traitors and cover the departure of other magicians who knew the headquarters of the Magic Council. On the other hand, he realized that the clown was suspicious of him, so he pretended to die and escape and framed the clown. The front and back were closely intertwined, without any problems."
"Does Natasha know? Was it hidden or cooperate?" Amorton's eyes opened, and his eyes made the agent and others feel chill.
The examiner shook his head: "From the confession, His Highness the Princess didn't know, and she accepted Valdo's stop at that time, and did not take advantage of the opportunity to kill the clown and handed over the pursuit of the clown to the Night Watcher. She was not worried that the clown would be found in advance and asked you to cure him. From this point of view, she did not know that she should have been used by Lucien. But afterwards, according to Lucien's statement, she might know that she wanted to seek her forgiveness at present."
"That's good," said Amorton. "Professor and Lucien are really sinister and cunning, but Lucien is even more immature than the professor's ruthlessness. He also wants to take Joel's family to the Kingdom of Holm, otherwise how could his identity be revealed so quickly."
The agent said angrily: "Mr. Amorton, let us quickly announce the true identity of this hypocrite to the outside world, break the halo that envelopes him! Destroy his fake tomb! Turn him into a criminal hated by everyone in Artor!"
"And what? At the same time, tell everyone that the church is an idiot or a fool? It is known as the "Ode to Joy" which has a strong sense of praise for the true God. The "Ode to Joy" that is often performed in churches is actually a work of the devil, and is ridiculing the Lord. Such things that shake the foundation of believers must not happen." Amorton said in a cold tone, "Anyway, the great musician is dead. No matter whether the same name and surname or appearance are the same, he is a magician, a magician who can transform his appearance and has nothing to do with a musician."
"Mr. Amorton, do you mean?" the magistrate said thoughtfully.
Amorton did not answer his question, but continued: "Tell the matter of Lucien to the Diocese of Holm, let them pay close attention, and send several night watchmen over there. They should be very happy to meet the 'old friend'." (To be continued...)
