…………………………………………………………………………
On the morning of the next day, because he had to take the score of the piano piece to Joseph for registration, Lucien got up to exercise and after having breakfast prepared by the cook, he strolled towards the Musicians Association in the administrative area.
It was close to nine o'clock at this time, and the broad streets were filled with melodious and beautiful music, which highlighted the reputation of Alto's music capital. What made Lucien funny and strange was that he could already hear himself playing just last night.
In the first movement of the G major string serenade, the lively and straight-to-the-point melody sounds from time to time in every corner: "Did any musician sell the music score to the bards and street performers so that they can perform one more piece?"
repertoire?"
I have to say that in terms of entertainment, popularity and popularity, this piece of music is indeed better than the Symphony of Destiny.
In the atmosphere of music, Lucien walked into the association hall. As soon as Elena, who was in charge of reception today, saw him, she immediately gave Lucien a troubled look and motioned Lucien to come over.
"Elena?" Lucien stood in front of the wooden cabinet and asked in a strange voice.
Elena covered her mouth and snickered a few times before saying: "Lucien, several noble ladies have come to you before, wanting to learn piano and music from you. Haha, one of them is Miss Phyllis.
My good friend Yvette. By the way, here are the letters sent to you by musicians from nearby countries. They all want to discuss symphony creation with you."
Recently, it happened to be the time when that issue of "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald" were fully released in the central and western countries of mainland China and received feedback from "readers".
Lucien took the bunch of letters and looked upstairs. He was a little afraid of Yvette and the others. After thinking about it, he said directly to Elena: "Elena, if anything like this happens in the future, just tell me
They, because I am concentrating on composing a piece of music, so in the past year, apart from serving as the music consultant to Her Royal Highness, I no longer accept any invitations or accept any music students. Haha, my own musical foundation is still very weak.
of."
"Mr. Evans, have you got the inspiration to create music again?" Casey next to him heard the conversation between the two, opened his eyes wide, and stared at Lucien very curiously. Isn't it said that he just adapted a canon and composed it?
Did he write a piano piece? Is his inspiration so endless?
Lucien nodded and replied jokingly: "Haha, because I want to have a concert of my own as soon as possible." This was a foreshadowing for what would happen next.
"It's really admirable and enviable." Casey and Elena sighed at the same time.
Then Elena asked earnestly: "Lucien, have you really stopped accepting music students recently? I once said that when you become a musician, I will study music with you."
Lucien smiled and said, "We are friends. Elena, if you have any questions about music, feel free to ask me, but I really haven't had time to teach students in the past year."
In fact, Lucien was implicitly protecting Elena. If he arrived at the Magic Council headquarters and the church people got the news, then ordinary friends would be fine. If John became a knight, their family would not have a big problem, but he
For music students, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.
"Then thank you, Lucien." Elena was very satisfied to get such a promise.
Then, Lucien handed the music score to Elena and asked her to go to Joseph to register. He was going to practice in the piano room on the fourth floor to avoid the noble ladies waiting.
But as soon as Elena went upstairs, a dark purple low-key carriage came outside the Musicians Association. It was the one Natasha usually sent to pick up Lucien.
"Her Royal Highness, please come over, Mr. Evans. Some books do not need to be translated. You can read them directly." The coachman politely conveyed Natasha's words to Lucien.
Lucien smiled and shook his head. Natasha was really impatient. As soon as she decided on something, she would go all out and move forward bravely.
However, this was in line with Lucien's wishes, so he got on the carriage without hesitation.
…………
In the study room of the "War Gallery", Natasha, wearing a black palace dress, led Lucien through the rows of bookshelves and introduced him: "There are chivalric novels, there are classical operas, there are
Historical documents from various countries, there are travel notes..."
After introducing the location where the books are stored, Natasha pointed to a middle-aged man sitting at the desk by the window: "He is Mr. Baker, a famous historian and ancient linguist, and a member of the Hill family. I specially invited him to come and prepare the book for me."
You translated some of the books written in ancient Magic Empire languages."
Baker was already bald before he was fifty, his remaining hair was gray and sparse, and he wore thick glasses on his sideways face.
"Hello, Mr. Baker, thank you for your help." Lucien greeted him politely.
Baker had already stood up when Natasha came in, and responded to Lucien with the same skillful etiquette: "It is my honor to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess and to help you, Mr. Evans. I am working for you."
The translation is "Collection of Heroic Poems of the Dark Ages", which are excellent poems left behind by many heroes who emerged and overthrew the rule of the evil magician under the guidance of the God of Truth."
Lucien saw a black book cover on the table. The decoration style was very different from the current books. He picked it up casually and flipped through it quickly: "What a complicated and evil text."
This "Collection of Heroic Poems of the Dark Ages" appears in its entirety in Lucien's Soul Library, and the bookshelf is classified as "Ancient Literature."
Since Lucien just flipped through it casually and had no intention of looking at it carefully, neither Natasha nor Beck had any suspicion.
Baker smiled and said: "Many of the materials in the ruins and ancient documents are written in this script, so we have to learn them, as long as we prevent this evil script from being spread to the common people. Mr. Evans, I am a
Devout believers, I hope that these works I have translated can help you get inspiration and create solemn music that praises the true God and heroes."
"I also hope to have such inspiration." Lucien smiled perfunctorily. He couldn't write "Rise up, hungry and cold slaves...to fight for the truth", right?
After exchanging a few words, Baker continued to devote himself to the translation work, while Lucien "casually" flipped through other ancient magic empire books: "Your Highness, why are they not translated? Don't you usually read them?"
"The nobles who have studied in the monastery all understand the texts of the ancient Sylvanus Magical Empire. I don't need a translation." Natasha saw Lucien flipping through the books quickly as if checking the quality of the book, and said unconcernedly
Explaining his question, "Okay, Lucien, I have ordered the knight to take away the books you cannot read. You can read the rest in the study at will. I went to the piano room to compose music. If there are any questions, I
Will come to find you."
After Natasha left, Lucien immediately eagerly read the Common Language books in the study room. In order not to arouse suspicion, he did not flip through them quickly, but read them very carefully.
After that, after more than a month of extensive reading, Lucien finally got rid of the ignorance and confusion about the world since time travel, and gained a new understanding of the situation on the mainland.
"Since ancient magicians obtained powerful magic by analyzing and simulating the abilities of various magical creatures, they have been conducting bloody human experiments all year round, trying to incorporate various bloodlines into the human body. After countless human deaths, every living person has
After almost all human beings have alien bloodlines, research in this area has reached its peak, but the rule of the magicians has also reached a precarious level. People across the continent and those experimental subjects with powerful bloodlines have rioted and resisted."
"Originally, they alone could not defeat those powerful magicians, but the Cult of Truth, which has been developing in secret, stepped onto the stage. With a power that was not inferior to that of the Magic Empire, it led the bloodline nobles to set off a climax that shattered the Magic Empire. This
Year is the beginning of the sacred calendar, followed by the 'Dawn War' that lasted for more than four hundred years."
Due to the screening, the documents Lucien saw all portrayed magicians as evil and terrifying, and the heroes as sung and lamentable.
"The Violet family was originally the count of the western border of the Holy Herz Empire. They controlled a powerful knighthood. During the westward expansion at the end of the 'Dawn War', they cooperated with the church to occupy Alto, the last important city of the Magic Empire, and were named Grand Dukes.
Independence from the Holy Harz Empire."
"In the year 425 of the Holy Calendar, the church held a supreme religious meeting in the holy city of Reims to discuss the final stage of the 'Dawn War' and prepare to destroy the evil creatures hiding in the Dark Mountains as well as the kingdoms of evil gods in the northwest of the Dark Mountains. However, in
At the meeting, some cardinals who had planned for a long time had disagreements with the Pope regarding the description of the God of Truth. After that, they returned to the north and relied on the power of the Shahran Empire and other northern kingdoms and principality nobles to effectively fight against the Holy City.
Schism, the church's westward expansion ended prematurely."
When Lucien saw these records, he understood which heresy he often heard from Natasha refers to.
In response to Lucien's question about why the church did not continue to move westward and crusade against the evil creatures in the Dark Mountains and the kingdom of evil gods, Natasha gave three meaningful answers:
"In the eyes of most believers, heretics are more hateful than heretics."
"The entire Knights of the Holy Sword are stationed at the northern fortress at the border between the principality and the Shahran Empire."
"Why did those cardinals choose to split? Haha, no one knows it now except the Pope and the Pope of the Northern Cult."
From these historical books, Lucien also knew that the Principality of Violet, the Kingdom of Syracuse, and the northern province of the Holy Herz Empire were the front lines against heresy.
As for the entire continent, in addition to the two major empires, there is also the Gusta Empire in the far south. However, since the royal family has lost the ability to control the great nobles and great lords, it can only be said to be an empire in form. As for other kingdoms,
There are nearly 60 principalities, counties, free city federations, etc., including those who believe in the northern cult.
In addition, there is an "inland sea" similar to the Mediterranean Sea in the eastern part of the continent, called the "Storm Strait", and Natasha's mother is the princess of the opposite kingdom.
However, regarding the country on the other side of the "Storm Strait", all the books and documents Lucien saw had very simple records, almost nothing.
…………
Two weeks before the new year, the cold wind was howling outside. Lucien sat in front of the fireplace in the living room, warming his body and letting the recliner slowly rock while he continued to interpret "Astrology and Elements" as if he was asleep.
"Book".
Lucien’s biggest gain during this period is to master the commonly used ancient Magic Empire texts! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to register as a member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest support.
