Chapter 23 Rock's Suggested Monthly Pass)
When the electromagnetic communication array was opened, a mature and nice female "Lucion?" came from her monocle glasses.
Lucien was stunned for a moment and did not react to who it was. It was not until the other party spoke again that she remembered that she was a member of the affairs committee, the wife of His Excellency Oliver, the great arcane artist.
"Ms. Florence, come to me if you have something to do?" Lucien asked in confusion.
Florentsa smiled and said, "Do you think I'm very free? Who will contact you boredly? What do you think about Oliver's paper? You should have read this issue of "Archae", right?"
Lucien was even more confused. It was enough to discuss this with your husband in private, so why bother asking me, an outsider? But Lucien immediately remembered that the couple seemed to have a conflict, so he smiled and said, "Look, and he has already discussed it with His Excellency Lavendy and Mr. Gaston. If you don't mind, I will start talking directly?"
"Okay." Florence answered simply and neatly.
After communicating his views on this paper, Florence was silent for a moment, and his good voice was a little low: "Lucion, did Oliver ask you to cooperate in writing an opera? You'd better not agree."
"How do you know?" Florence found out that Oliver was planning to please his wife in private. This surprised Lucien. It was too secret, right?
Florence was filled with a hint of briskness and pride in his suppressed voice: "He always complained that Holm had no real musician and could not adapt his script into an excellent opera, so if he wanted to write a new opera to please me, how could he let you go, a master who could rank very high in music history?"
"Then how do you know he wants to please you with opera?" Lucien then realized that Florence was inferred by his understanding of her husband and the tacit understanding between the couple, so he asked curiously when he was about to start his love life.
Florence chuckled, as if he contained a very complicated emotion: "He always did this, either his own jewelry or his emotional poetry, or his new opera. The first two methods of pleasing have been used twice in the last two times. With his personality that will not repeat in a short period of time, it is easy to tell that it is a new opera."
"Why don't you let me agree? Don't you want to forgive him?" Lucien patted his face after asking. How can he ask directly about such a question? Sure enough, he also has a gossip.
Florence yelled without a smile, and said bitterly in the joke: "After you wrote "Dedicated to Sylvia", Sylvia will die. If you write such an opera that originally intended to make up for the relationship between husband and wife but caused the separation of husband and wife, I think your love music will become a curse in people's hearts. I told you not to agree for your own good."
Lucien keenly captured the meaning of Florence's words: "Madam, are you going to terminate your marriage with Your Excellency Oliver?"
"Yeah." Florence replied silently, and then said as if he wanted to tell the story, "I tolerate it again and again, but he never really repents. I am tired and desperate, and I don't want to get entangled with him anymore. I have my own arcane and magic research, teachers, classmates, and friends. I don't lose the value and meaning of life if I leave him. Sometimes, love cannot cover up everything, and maybe after separation, I can still find new happiness."
She explained calmly, without hoarseness or crying, which made Lucien hear the determination and determination in her words, as if it was a decision made after careful consideration rather than an impulse, so she did not persuade her to make peace and smiled, "Then I wish you a new life in advance, Madam."
However, from Florence's unconscious knowledge and understanding of Oliver that he revealed just now, can they be so easily separated and tied? Lucien is very suspicious.
Florence said in a low voice: "Lucion, you are such a good man. I often think that if I had not met Oliver, but had met you who are more talented and loyal and gentle than him, my marriage would have been so happy that it would be jealous. I envy Natasha very much.
She is a student of Morris, a member of the Holm royal family, and a junior who Hathaway values, so she roughly understands the conversation between Lucien and Hathaway that day, and also knows how Lucien has rejected all kinds of temptations in recent years.
"Thank you for the compliment." Although he received a good man card, Lucien, who already had a lover, didn't mind at all and replied with a smile.
Florence suddenly chuckled: "Actually, I had the idea of taking revenge on Oliver. I was going to find a good man like him to have a dual relationship between soul and body. Oh, you were one of my goals at that time, but you completely ignored my charm, and I could not overcome that psychological barrier."
"Now that you have little Natasha, I will not be able to do anything more. I have encountered this kind of pain myself, and I will not let other girls suffer this kind of harm that I can never forget. Lucien, treat little Natasha well. If you have other women, then I will seduce her and let her leave you completely. Haha, she lost her mother before she became an underage, and she should like mature women like me very much."
Lucien rubbed his chin awkwardly and quickly changed the subject: "Madam, you said I am one of the goals, so are there any other goals?"
Florence was feeling much more comfortable, and he held back his smile and said, "I have a high vision, very few that meet my requirements, and I have to have a strong background and will not be killed by Oliver. So, besides you, I have thought about seducing my teacher. However, I have analyzed it carefully. The success rate should not be high. Lucien, if my long skirt is covered with precious materials such as sea-lane stone, sun stone, ice crystal stone, dragon skin, etc., will the teacher be fascinated and lured by me?"
Lucien pointed out directly: "I think that Lord Morris will silently take off your long skirt, push you down on the bed, and then leave with the long skirt."
"Haha! I think so too!" Florence was stunned at first, then laughed.
Lucien raised his eyebrows and suddenly felt that it was not good to arrange the elders behind him. Hurry up! He asked quickly: "I haven't seen Lord Morris for a while. I wonder if he is busy studying?"
"After you proposed the new alchemy, the teacher's saliva was almost flowing out. It was a field where material changes could be mastered. If you really had to study it thoroughly, you would have as much treasure as you want, so he was all over his body and mind." Florence joked, but in fact, for the nine-ring elemental faction masters, the new alchemy, let them see the dawn of the legend of promotion, how could they not study it carefully?
Lucien also replied humorously: "If Lord Morris and Affreyth were not for his man and a dragon, I would have suspected that Affreyth was the illegitimate son of His Excellency Morris. He really had the desire to keep money like a dragon."
After chatting for a few words, Florentsa wished: "Lucine worked hard to give birth to Natasha early. If Oliver and I didn't like the two worlds at the beginning, this might not be the ending now."
"The current situation is too dangerous and not suitable for having children. Moreover, she has only been crowned for less than a month, and there are still several years before urging and pressure." Lucien's idea also told Natasha. There will definitely be many changes in the next few years. Pregnancy with a child can easily weaken her combat effectiveness and fall into danger. So I wait until the situation in Holm stabilizes before considering this issue.
Natasha agrees very much. She hopes to get married with Lucien openly and let the child be born in a healthy family.
As for the higher the level, the harder the conception, the "forced conception technique" in "The Book of Pink" was not developed and played. It was created by a legendary magician to continue his bloodline. When he saw this magic, Lucien suddenly had a hallucination of "treating infertility and going to the Arlinge Magic Hospital."
After finishing her call with Florence, Lucien was a little hesitant about relationships. Florence was a student of His Excellency Morris, and His Excellency Morris was Natasha's elder and was a person from the same camp. He should refuse to cooperate with His Excellency Oliver at her request. But he had already agreed to Oliver that remorse was a bad behavior.
After thinking for a while, Lucien made a decision: "Drag the opera until they dissolved their marriage before they could create it. At that time, if His Excellency Oliver still wants opera and reunion, it will not conflict with Ms. Florence's request."
"……………and Ms. Florentsa asked me not to create. Does it mean that she is still a little shaken inside, worried that she will be shaken under the opera offensive... I hope that the couple will not end tragically if they divorce..."
Suddenly, the monocle glasses became hot again, and Lucien touched his eyebrows helplessly and opened the communication array.
"Lucion." Morris's voice came from inside his glasses.
Lucien said "ah" and said a little embarrassedly: "Good morning, Lord Morris."
"Why are you weird?" Morris asked in confusion.
Lucien pulled the corner of his mouth, and I won’t say that I had arranged you with your student before, and I felt guilty for a moment: “His Excellency Morris, are you asking me for trouble?”
"Have you watched the latest episode of "Archae"?" Morris had the same question.
In this way, Lucien spent the whole morning discussing with familiar great mages and advanced mages, but legendary mages such as Douglas did not contact him, because it is not difficult to see the problem of Oliver's paper with their wisdom.
It was not until noon that Lucien had free time and prepared for lunch to continue reading the journal Arcane - if he did not study and did not pay attention to the latest papers, he might make a big mistake even if he had a library of souls.
At this time, Rock, wearing a short black dress, came in from outside and knocked on the door of Lucien's office: "Lucion, do you have time to talk?"
"Have you completed the mandatory mission?" Lucien signaled him in joyfully.
Rock relaxed and said: "Of course, as a member of the Institute of Atomics, the mandatory task I was assigned is very simple, and Lazar should be fast. Lucien, I want to tell you that with the increase in arcane research projects, our Institute of Atomics is a bit insufficient in manpower and space."
"I will apply to the Magic Research Council to merge all the labs on the 18th floor." Lucien said it very easily. He is already an unquestionable authority in the field of atomic research. This matter is not difficult to do. Teacher Fernando is no longer required to come forward. "As for manpower, don't we have so many arcane masters?"
Including yourself, there are a total of ten arcane masters.
Rock spread his hands: "It's just that there are too many arcane masters, no one takes action, no one does chores anymore. Your students have their own research projects when they grow up. Therefore, we need to recruit a group of magic apprentices."
"Then go to the mission area to publish the mission, or contact the magic school and ask them to recommend elite apprentices." Lucien said a little suspiciously, "How come you pay attention to this issue?"
Rock doesn't look like someone who cares about this.
Rock laughed dryly and replied honestly: "I felt a little anxious when I saw that you and Lazar both seemed to have a relationship. And I spent the most time here, and I didn't find an opportunity to introduce some 'fresh blood, how can I do it? Although your female students are good, they are all cursed by you, and they all have their eyes on me. Each of them is on the top of my head, and I don't like me at all."
"No coercion or intimidation is allowed." Lucien just reminded.
Rock stood up satisfied: "According to your words, I am looking for a partner for the purpose of getting married, so how could I do that? I went to the mission area to release the mission. With the current reputation of our Atomic Institute, countless apprentices must have come to apply. Uh, will that be too troublesome?"
"Introduction review, written test, interview, three links, layer by layer screening, anyway, I will give it to you, and I will supervise it occasionally." Lucien said in a bad mood, allowing magic apprentices to also experience the formal process of finding a job.
