527 "Angel King" (2/2)

Lucien was amused by the shameless crystal dragon. Tossing the last few items to him, he hurried to retreat his hand.

Alferris opened the storage bag that Lucien kept the items in temporarily. Its eyes glittering, it poured the treasures into its palm and licked them one after another, as if it were leaving its unique mark on them.

After licking, Alferris counted the treasures with great passion while he asked obsequiously, ”Lucien, I didn't know that you had such a profound understanding about dreams.”

”It's part of my research, but most of the things I said were far-fetched.” Replied Lucien unconcernedly.

Alferris looked at Lucien, finding it strange. ”Are you not scared that you reached a wrong conclusion?”

”The few key points are alright. Octave's impression on them was too deep. His reactions could've been analyzed in the dream without any tricks. As for the rest, it doesn't matter whether or not I was right. Does his mental faculty have anything to do with me? Am I responsible for his psychological health?” Said Lucien with a smile.

Alferris did not pursue the question any longer. Counting the lovely treasures, it said angrily, ”Lucien, it was outrageous of them to say that I was your pet. We are obviously partners!”

”Yes, partners.” Replied Lucien casually.

Thinking for a moment, Alferris asked curiously, ”Are pets more important for sorcerers? I can tell that most sorcerers have pets.”

It only studied the theories that it was interested in. Pets, which might share its treasures, did not interest it at all.

”Sort of. Pets are the extension of a sorcerer's body. They are the eyes and ears of a sorcerer…” Lucien generally introduced the functions of a pet.

Alferris fell silent as he talked. Lucien looked at it in confusion, only to discover that it was eyeing himself with glowing eyes.

Alferris suddenly lunged at Lucien and licked his left hand intimately: ”Boss, recruit me as your pet!”

......

After getting rid of Alferris with a lot of trouble, Lucien returned to his magic tower and turned on the communication with Natasha.

”… After Richard sorts through his ideas, I will summon him and talk to him. If his ideas are in the interest of us and the nobles, I'll propose to Sard that he be appointed as the archbishop of the royal family.” Natasha was in a good mood after hearing Lucien's voice, but she did not reach a decision recklessly.

After their test on Sard's reaction, almost everybody knew that she was still a 'friend' to Lucien. Therefore, Natasha was not afraid of communicating with Allyn anymore, as long as the frequency was not high.

Lucien was thrilled about it. A while back, he still needed to go to the royal magic tower of Holm cautiously, but the reality had changed much faster than he planned.

”Archbishop of the royal family?” Lucien did not quite understand what the job was about.

Natasha explained with a smile, ”The archbishop is responsible for the religious problems within the royal family. The castles of the royal family and the private churches within the manors are under his authority, too. However, my grandfather had been in poor health for the longest time and relied on the treatment of the saint cardinal. Therefore, the Grand Cardinal of the parish was also the archbishop of the royal family. But as a matter of fact, the two posts are independent, and I have a say on the candidate of archbishop.”

Lucien immediately realized that it should be a post that the Church set up to control the royal family before the Congress of Magic could compete with the Church, but it was something that Natasha could make use of now.

”Natasha, do you have any systematic ideas about the future of Holm? The Congress and I can only cooperate with you if you have a vision.” Lucien asked gently.

Natasha chuckled. ”I think we should discuss the question face to face. Lucien, I thought of you every time I saw the moonlight over the past few days.”

She expressed her feelings boldly and straightforwardly.

While feeling happy and sweet, Lucien was more or less rendered speechless. Shouldn't he be the one doing the sweet talking?
