Lucien took a gentle breath, opened the hard-cover book as if opening a new page in his destiny, and found the first page of the first chapter "Pronunciation". He was very happy but not surprised.
It was discovered that these letters were exactly those used in one of the magic notebooks.
And for Lucien, who can use Common Language fluently, as long as he masters the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters and the preliminary spelling rules, he can try to read the words and compare them with the words and syllables he usually uses to understand their meaning.
, you can also convert ordinary syllables into written words through spelling rules and letters. In this way, you can learn lingua franca very quickly through comparative memory.
Victor didn't notice Lucien's little joy. He said the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters several times very seriously and seriously. He watched Lucien make some strange marks on the paper and read them back.
After reading it twice, he walked towards the ordinary boy next to him with satisfaction: "You read it carefully dozens of times. When I come over, if you can read it completely with the book on your back, then I will start to teach you the preliminary spelling rules.
and grammar.”
He was just encouraging Lucien. As a beginner, it is impossible to memorize the pronunciation of thirty-two letters so quickly, unless it is those guys with super memory. And such people, as long as they work hard, can
Most of the things he does are successful.
Lucien carefully read the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters, and then compared it with the pronunciation marks made on the paper using Chinese combined with English on the pattern. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he calmed down, concentrated, and opened the book in his soul.
Pavilion.
In the library, there is an additional bookshelf called "Lingua". There is a piece of paper with strange marks on it and a black hard-cover book, which are exactly the two in front of him.
Opening the black hard-cover book, Lucien saw as expected that there was only the content on the first page, and the rest was blank.
So Lucien flipped through the "Common Language Pronunciation and Elementary Grammar" on the small round table from cover to cover at a very fast speed, and saw with satisfaction that the black hard-cover book in the Soul Library became complete.
"It's exactly what I expected." Lucien said to himself with a smile.
With the help of the Soul Library, Lucien was full of confidence in learning Common Language in a short time, so he began to try to memorize the pronunciations of the thirty-two letters.
There were many mistakes in the first time, and there were still many mistakes in the second time. The mistakes began to decrease in the third time, but some of the things that could be recited before were forgotten... A full fifteen times, Lucien forced himself to completely memorize the pronunciation of the letters.
Of course, Lucien understood that this was just a momentary memory of his. If it was not consolidated for a period of time, it would be forgotten soon. Moreover, during the process, Lucien also discovered that the mental power he used to inspire the use of magic had an impact on memory.
great help.
After Lucien memorized it twice more hesitantly, Victor finished teaching him a circle and walked to Lucien again.
There was a touch of tiredness on his face, but compared to when Lucien first arrived, he was no longer in a restless state of pacing back and forth. It seemed that diverting his attention was very helpful for him to relax his mind.
Big help.
"Lucien, recite it to me again." Victor said to Lucien with a friendly smile.
Lucien didn't hesitate and started to memorize it. Halfway through, he suddenly forgot the pronunciation of a letter. In his confusion, he found the pronunciation mark directly from the paper in the soul library, and then successfully recited it.
It's not that Lucien wants to cheat, but because he has limited money, it's good to seize the time to learn more. Even if he doesn't master it, with the library, he can digest it later.
Victor had been preparing to correct Lucien's pronunciation errors and unclear points. When he finished memorizing, he didn't react. After a while, he asked in confusion: "Have you ever learned pronunciation before?"
This question was asked in a slightly loud voice, causing the others who were immersed in studying to raise their heads curiously and look at Lucien.
"No." Lucien shook his head in denial.
Victor did not doubt it. He nodded slightly and praised: "Your memory is very good, which is very rare. Okay, then I will start teaching you the spelling rules."
Others looked at Lucien in surprise, not expecting his memory to be so outstanding. Of course, some also looked at him with ridicule and contempt, thinking that Lucien must have learned pronunciation before, otherwise how could he be able to master pronunciation completely in such a short time?
Remember, this is just a pretense to deceive Mr. Victor into favoring him. Maybe he will be accepted as a real student who can study music in the future.
But this kind of trivial matter did not cause much trouble, especially as three of the noble students were already studying music with Victor. They quickly lowered their heads again and continued to look at the music scores and music theory knowledge.
For nearly an hour after that, Lucien studied the spelling rules without any distractions. At this time, in this environment, Lucien finally understood thoroughly and clearly:
time is money!
Because one more day of study will cost a lot more money!
"Okay, gentlemen and ladies, relax, eat some fruit, drink a cup of tea, and continue studying later." Victor seemed to be in good spirits. When the servants brought tea and several plates of cut fruits,
Go to the second floor.
The tea was served in a pale white glazed porcelain cup with a simple pattern and a handle. Jasmine, orange slices and other things were added to give it an orange color. There were some fruits that Lucien thought were familiar, and some that he had never seen before.
Weird kind.
The young man wearing ordinary noble clothes and with dark blue hair like the sea smiled and said to his companions: "Mr. Victor seems to have some inspiration. If the inspiration continues, today's study may be over."
He looked to be a few years older than Lucien, with narrow eyes and a high nose. He was holding a thin book of music scores in his hand. Among several noble students, he felt vaguely surrounded, and only one of them was wearing a wine suit.
The aristocratic girl in a red dress sat dignifiedly, but answered in a lazy tone:
"Lotte, if Mr. Victor finishes early, he will definitely make up for it on the weekend, and if he can make new music, we can practice playing with the orchestra in the next few days. I don't want to just do monotonous
Music theory learning and ordinary flute playing training can only progress faster if you practice with a regular symphony orchestra."
She is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with bright appearance, long flame-like hair, thick and sexy lips, and her waist is not so thin that it seems to be broken like her cousins, because it will cause difficulty in breathing.
, and difficulty in breathing means that one cannot play the flute well.
Lott looked at the red-haired girl and couldn't help but laugh: "The orchestra that Mr. Victor is collaborating with just had a lead singer who was as handsome as a silver moon a few days ago, Phyllis. The two of us were together at the time.
I went with Mr. Victor. You want to practice with the orchestra so much. Could it be that you have a crush on him?"
The concertmaster of the symphony orchestra is the first violinist, and when there is no conductor, he also plays the role of conductor.
"Don't insult me with your playboy mentality. I just think his violin skills are very good, much better than the original principal." Phyllis retorted, but there was a strange blush on her face, "Don't you
Don't you think he performed very well when he played the 'Unaccompanied Violin Sonata No. 1 in G minor'? Do you think your violin playing level surpasses his?"
When it came to music, Lott immediately became serious and excited, and began to discuss various music knowledge and music with Phyllis. Several other noble students chimed in from time to time, obviously very interested in this topic.
Even when the brown-haired girl among the civilian students whom they had been treating coldly couldn't help but interject and made an insightful comment, they also got their nods of approval.
In Aalto, music is another lingua franca.
Of course, the noble students still ignored the common students and Lucien intentionally or unintentionally, and the common students also turned a blind eye to Lucien intentionally or unintentionally, and tried to get close to the aristocratic students.
There were no sarcastic words, no sarcasm, only deep estrangement and indifference.
Perhaps, in the minds of aristocratic students, ordinary citizens and poor people are not worth treating with a bad attitude. After all, they do not even have a common language, but they are just habitually excluded from their own circles. This is a kind of not very forgiving.
Contempt in the heart.
Lucien didn't pay attention to these at all. He raced against time and studied as fast as he could, like a sponge that had dried up for a long time and was thrown back into the ocean of knowledge, greedily absorbing nutrients.
But from their discussion, Lucien occasionally heard some sentences and humming, and found that the music in this world, whether it was scales or melodies, was very similar to that on earth, except for the expression of specific music symbols.
different.
"What a group of serious students." Lucien raised his head and glanced at them who were discussing enthusiastically, took a sip of the weird-tasting black tea with jasmine petals, ate a piece of fruit that might be a pear, and continued to concentrate on
of learning.
Mr. Victor's inspiration did not last long, and he left after more than ten minutes, looking tired and anxious.
However, after teaching the students seriously, his irritability improved a lot.
Lucien, after an hour of struggle, finally learned most of the spelling rules before the end and memorized them with the help of the Soul Library.
At ten minutes past four, the study ended. Except for Lot, Phyllis, and a noble boy named Herodotus who stayed to learn how to play musical instruments, everyone else stood up and left the hall.
Lucien walked slowly as he recalled what he had learned today, while the three civilian students exchanged laughter with each other and walked briskly at the front. Their eyes often looked at the two aristocratic students in the middle who were discussing music, but
But they didn't dare to get too close. As for Lucien, neither they nor the two aristocratic students, a boy and a girl, only occasionally glanced at him lightly.
After exiting the gate, two carriages drove over from nowhere. The brown horses were tall and strong, snoring. Then the two aristocratic students boarded the carriages sent by their respective families and left slowly under the envious eyes of the civilian students.
.
No matter what the family situation is, as long as they don't starve to death, most nobles will choose to maintain a minimum of dignity.
The three civilian students watched quietly as the carriage disappeared behind the tall trees at the corner, and then they left together in the direction of the Purple Lily District.
Lucien, on the other hand, was like a bookworm, silently reciting what he had learned today and strolling along the boulevard.
…………
"You are actually studying under Mr. Victor? He is an excellent musician. Haha, little Evans, do you really want to inherit Uncle Joel's dream of being a musician?" During dinner, Joel learned that Lucien was studying
The teacher of the text said jokingly.
Lucien responded with the same humor: "Of course, I will become a great musician in the future."
After the joyful dinner, Lucien returned home early, lay on the bed that was so smashed that he could barely lie on it, opened the library, opened the magic notebook written in Common Language, and tried to spell out the pronunciation and decipher the words.
meaning.
Of course, due to the inevitable problems of accent, vocabulary accumulation and lack of grammar, Lucien did not expect to be able to understand the notes and start learning magic in just one day of study.
Review and consolidate what you learned during the day.
