Chapter 20 Attempt to interpret

There were no surprises. Just as Lucien expected, in the four hours from after dinner to when he fell asleep unconsciously, he could only decipher the contents of the first ten pages of the magic notebook, and they were mainly composed of discontinuous words.

It's impossible to form a complete sentence because many of the words related to magic are very rare and rare.

Of course, with Lucien's ability to study for many years, he can indeed restore and make up the meaning of some sentences through these words, but it is definitely not accurate enough. Based on this understanding, Lucien does not dare to start learning magic rashly. What will happen then?

The dead ones don’t even know.

Fortunately, as a magic notebook, witches can record the magic they have learned while occasionally recording their own thoughts and things they encountered, just like a diary. The words in this part are not uncommon, and the grammatical structure is similar to that of Lucy.

En usually spoke the same way, allowing Lucien to successfully decipher the similar sentences contained in the previous ten pages, and roughly knew the origins of the other two magic notebooks, or should they be called magic books.

The witch was born into a family of magicians who survived the collapse of the ancient Sylvanus Magic Empire. Although this family has lived in a remote mountain castle since the occupation of Alto, and its whereabouts are secretive, under the attack of the church for hundreds of years,

Despite the raids, the population is still getting smaller and smaller. If the church hadn't been much less aggressive in crackdowns and raids in the past hundred years or so, this family might have been wiped out. But even so, in the generation of witches, she is the only one left.

I am a family of three with my parents.

After an accident in summoning "a creature represented by a word Lucien did not recognize", the witch became an orphan. At the same time, she also officially inherited the "Book of Astrology and Elements" and "Illustrated Book of Common Things Related to Magic"

These two magic books.

There are only so many "diary-style" records of witches in the first dozen pages, so when Lucien woke up the next morning, the first thought that came to his mind was: "The best witch's magic notes are complete and there are no corners cut.

Otherwise, where would I go to learn the ancient Sylvanas script?"

…………

Since most of the jobs Lucien could find from the Copper Crown Tavern were related to the Aaron gang, Lucien was unemployed again and could only rely on his savings for a short period of time.

However, this is in line with Lucien, John and Joel's plan, which is to let Lucien concentrate on learning writing in the recent period to avoid possible revenge. After all, Joel and Alyssa either work as street performers in the administrative area,

Either wash clothes in a powerful guild, and Alvin can also follow Alisa to the textile guild to help with some small things for free. He has nothing to do with the Aaron gang. Only Lucien, if he starts doing things, it is really difficult to jump out.

A market area where Aaron has a strong presence.

John and the others even asked Lucien not to leave the city or go to secluded places during this period, in case someone who was not afraid of death would secretly set fire to the house at night.

Therefore, after Lucien got up, washed his face, and ate the brown bread softened by boiling water, he actually felt like he had nothing to do.

Of course, this was just an illusion. Lucien quickly stopped being lazy and went out to find an open space in the Aderjan District. Then he followed John's instructions and began to exercise and practice the basics of swordsmanship with a wooden stick.

For Lucien, before learning magic, the best way to face the dangers he may encounter is to work hard to increase his strength. Even though John has said that if he doesn't exercise since childhood, he will basically be useless if he starts after he is sixteen years old.

There is no hope of stimulating bloodline power and obtaining divine grace, unless one obtains the "Water of Holy Light" given by the church.

Moreover, Lucien also has Jackson's dagger, so he can fight at critical moments.

It was already nine o'clock after the exercise. Lucien returned home, rested for a while, and then began to review what he had learned yesterday and what he had gained from trying to decipher the magic notes last night. His seriousness, diligence and consciousness were unprecedented.

Far more than ever before.

…………

In the lobby of No. 12 Sneva Street, Gisu District.

Victor looked at Lucien in disbelief: "Have you really never learned words before, whether it's pronunciation, spelling rules or grammar?"

From the thirty-two letters he required to recite, to several questions, Lucien's answers were perfect, and he also raised several questions about spelling rules. This is often done after he officially starts learning words and grammar.

The problems discovered, Lucien's learning progress is really amazing. Just one day of learning is equivalent to three months of learning for a beginner, and he has almost caught up with civilian students Colin and Renee who have a certain foundation.

This was the second time Victor was surprised by Lucien's performance, which made other students couldn't help but look at Lucien again. Is this poor boy a genius in language and writing, or is he deliberately lying and actually has a certain foundation?

"Mr. Victor, I have never really learned writing before. When I was studying, I accidentally thought that it could be connected with the pronunciation and habitual ways of speaking in daily life. After comparison and reference, I could learn so quickly." In Aalto,

Lucien hoped that others would regard him as a genius, but he did not want to regard himself as an incomprehensible monster. It would be troublesome if he attracted the attention of the church, so he took his time and briefly explained his learning method.

This is indeed the method used by Lucien, but without library assistance and text books to try to interpret it, it cannot reach Lucien's learning speed.

Although Victor was born as a commoner, his father was already a good violinist and was appreciated by many nobles. He had been learning Common Language since he was a child. He had no experience in this area. After listening to it, he nodded repeatedly and praised: "Very good

, very good, you can make good use of your advantage of speaking common language and sum up methods, proving that you are smart and talented in this area."

His satisfaction with Lucien is obvious.

Herodotus, Colin, and Renee looked at Lucien with a hint of envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Lott and Phyllis, who had studied with Victor for five years and had no problem speaking common language, and even had good musical attainments, rarely saw Victor praising his students like this, so they couldn't help but look at each other.

"His method sounds quite useful." Phyllis clasped her hands together and placed them on the skirts of her legs. She sat dignifiedly and ladylikely, nodding slightly and maintaining a slightly arrogant attitude.

Lot originally planned to shrug, but he immediately thought of how un-aristocratic this action was. It would be fine if he was getting along with other familiar companions or the civilian girls around him, but the person sitting opposite him was faintly trying to compete with himself.

Phyllis, who was stingy and good at sarcasm because of his poor music performance, just smiled and whispered: "After speaking common language for so many years, it is normal to have this idea, and this method does not need to be used to study music.

, right, Phyllis?"

"Do you think I would be so naive and childish? Besides, I have my own way of learning music. Unlike someone who always relies on his little talent, refuses to put his heart into it, and wanders around among women. Lott, I think you should

You know, talent can't be squandered for long." Phyllis showed a standard smile, her eight snow-white teeth were neat and beautiful, "If this, um, a poor man named Lucien, starts to learn music, maybe he will be able to do it.

More than you."

She teased Lott about Lucien.

In fact, except for Lucien, a guy with serious lack of common sense, and Joel, John and others who knew that he just wanted to learn writing and change his life situation, others, including Cohen, Victor, Lott, Phyllis, and Lei

Everyone, including Ni, thought Lucien wanted to develop in the direction of music, because once he chooses to be a scholar who studies writing, it often means he has chosen his future path.

For example, if you want to be a clerk of a village court or an administrator of a city hall, when learning language and writing, you will definitely choose a scholar in law, history, etc., rather than a musician like Victor.

As for those who want to be pure scholars, those who are not of noble origin or have close connections with the nobility cannot be recognized. Even if they have a musical career that relies heavily on their own strength and have not been praised, recognized or sought after by the nobility, they cannot be recognized.

called a musician.

Lott sneered: "If you surpass me, you will definitely surpass you, Phyllis."

Phyllis was about to fight back when she suddenly saw Teacher Victor looking over her, so she straightened her fiery red hair, lowered her head, and continued to read the music score.

After Victor confirmed Lucien's talent, he accelerated his teaching to Lucien. He quickly explained the spelling rules based on words and some grammar knowledge, which was exactly what Lucien wanted.

…………

Friday is Lucien's last day of study this week.

After several days of study, Lucien has mastered most of the grammar. If it weren't for his lack of vocabulary, he could start learning magic. However, Lucien also decoded the witch's magic notes down to the last few pages.

To the extent that she understood why she came to Alto.

"As mental power increases, the effect of meditation decreases significantly. Is there room for improvement?"

"Do you want to take the risk and try a meditation method that can only be used by formal magicians?"

"I almost died. It was too dangerous. Maybe I should consider using this meditation method to improve the apprentice meditation method."

"Aimless and unable to find direction. No wonder after hundreds of years of inheritance, the ancestors of the family have not improved the apprentice meditation method. It is because I am too arrogant and too shallow."

"The structure of first-level magic is too complex, and it is difficult to establish a mark model."

"I'm going crazy. If I can't build a mark model, I can't rely on the existing magic potions to become a formal magician."

"Perhaps, I should try to prepare the 'Magic Gate' potion. It contains a first-level spell model, which will hopefully allow me to become an official magician."

"The required icy gorse cannot be found."

"Alto is the largest and most prosperous city in the western part of the continent. It is also a city where many magicians hide. Maybe I should try my luck."

This is the "diary-style" content that Lucien interpreted. He was very curious about the witch's experience after arriving in Alto, so he decided to continue tonight and interpret the last few pages.

Today, Lucien came to Victor to study, and he had a little secret in mind, that is, while mastering the basics of grammar, he would also look for opportunities to borrow common language dictionaries and write them down in the library. If he could succeed, maybe he would spend two days on the weekend.

, Lucien can start learning magic.

Lucien was full of expectations.
