Before entering the inn, Lucien took off his magic badge and only kept his four-star arcana badge on his chest. Then he put on a pair of wire-rimmed glasses that he bought in Allyn for disguise. He felt concerned that Patrick Hoffenberg might have already recognized him, so he wanted to be more careful now. Better late than never.
The fine metal chain of the glasses was now hanging beside Lucien’s somewhat angular face.
Adjusting his bow tie slightly, Lucien went into Dragon Root Inn confidently, in a steady pace.
...
Sunlight came into the inn through the windows. Everything looked quiet and radiant.
Two blond, beautiful elven druids, one male and one female, were right now sitting on the couch in the corner, waiting for the sorcerer from the Congress of Magic, and they were surrounded by several pretty elven guards and maids.
There were no other guests there, just the owner of the inn and servants.
”Brother, Lucien Evans, Elemental Order, is the youngest winner of Holm Crown prize, and also a level four arcanist. Then his magic power must be close to senior-rank. What shall we do?” asked the extremely beautiful female elf out of concern.
She did not expect that they would be separated from their teachers, and their whole plan of damaging the project was thus disturbed. Now they were allocated in a small group with a young and talented sorcerer, Lucien Evans, the winner of Holm Crown prize. Anything wrong that they wanted to do to the pilot land would be so clear and obvious under this arcanist’s eyes.
In order to make sure that Lucien’s fame was in its best use, Affairs Committee purposefully omitted Lucien’s magic circle level when they provided the druids with Lucien’s information. And they also gave Lucien a quite cool title, which came from several rounds of discussion: Elemental Order.
While Felipe did not need to hide his magic circle level, he also had a new title: Hand of Rehabilitation.
”Iristine, we’ll be fine. First, we can be incooperative by offering him divine spell imprints with missing parts. Second, now that we’re gonna be involved in the experiments, when we need to take down important data, we can just make ‘mistakes’ all the time. I mean, what do we know about arcana?” responded Arcelion, with a disgusted facial expression that showed his repulsion toward human beings, ”Our main job is to waste time here, since other elders in the royal palace are still working on stopping the grand elder. Soon, we’ll be going back into our clean and beautiful forests.”
Iristine nodded and smiled, ”Hope we can do something here for our nature. By the way, some of the inventions from human beings are actually not that bad. This couch feels pretty nice…”
Arcelion quickly got very serious, ”Iristine, keep in mind that those couches are made from logs, from people cutting down trees which were still alive. I can almost hear those trees crying! Do not indulge yourself in degeneration! Nothing’s better than sitting on real trees which are filled with vitality!”
Hearing her elder brother’s scold, Iristine felt a bit upset. However, she still nodded seriously, ”I won’t forget all the gifts from mother nature.”
Being resolute, she secretly clenched her fists. She would definitely stop human beings from destroying mother nature.
At this time, they noticed that a young man of medium height came in, wearing white shirt, dark waistcoat, a double-breasted suit and a black top hat. The wire-rimmed glasses made him look quite profound and elegant.
As a human being, this young man didn’t look bad, and he actually appeared to be quite well-mannered. This was Iristine's and Arcelion’s first impression about Lucien. Since they left the forest and came to human society, they were used to judging people’s appearance first.
Soon, they noticed the light-purple ring on Lucien’s right hand. They recognized that it was Holm Crown ring, as told by the congress.
Knowing that this young man was Lucien Evans, Arcelion and Iristine stood up together. As members from the elf royal family, they needed to keep their good manners. Besides, deep in their mind, Lucien’s deterrent title and his reputation was also affecting them.
”Good morning. Princess Iristine and Prince Arcelion?” Lucien took off his top hat in a well-mannered way. He secretly felt grateful that the committee assigned him to this group, as the prince was of level four and the princess level three, and Lucien could easily handle them with his ring, Element.
As for their noble status, Lucien did not care at all. After all, he was not an elf.
