After leaving Aunt Alisa's house, Lucien did not go to the market area immediately. Instead, he went home and got a wooden stick, and continued to exercise and practice basic swordsmanship in the open space. Before his mental strength was not strong enough to perform more than ten spells in a row,
, certain melee combat and dodge abilities are still very important.
Moreover, the better you train your physique, the easier it will be to stimulate the power of your bloodline when you have the opportunity to prepare and refine the "Crying Soul" magic potion in the future.
After an hour of exercise, Lucien went home and wiped his sweat before walking to the market area.
After not being in the market area for five whole days, Lucien felt that the place was still very lively, with various accents, various appearances, and different types of humanoid creatures mixed together, full of vigorous and noisy pulses of life.
Worried about the possible revenge of Aaron's gang, Lucien moved very carefully, and with the vague induction of his mental power, he ensured that he would not be easily followed. Even gang thugs would be discovered if they came within five meters of him.
But in fact, when Lucien bought the magic materials and left the market area, the Aaron gang did not come to cause any trouble. On the contrary, Lucien noticed that when the Aaron gang came out to collect fees, there were much fewer people. They used to
Usually two or three people work in groups, but now they all work alone, which makes Lucien a little confused: "Did the last incident make the Aaron gang decide to keep a low profile?"
Even Lucien himself did not believe this speculation, but no matter what, the abnormal behavior of the Aaron gang made Lucien decide to be cautious and learn most of the apprentice-level informal magic as soon as possible. Although their destructive power and defense
The power is not too strong, but it is weird and ingenious. As long as it is used properly, Lucien thought, even if he encounters ten gangsters, he can handle it calmly if they do not have long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows.
.
In the market area, Lucien walked for three hours before buying three spell-casting materials. This was because after the experience of being discovered by the Aaron gang last time, Lucien was more cautious, even though some materials were very common.
, but I won’t buy anything that I don’t need in my current life, and many of the materials in it can be collected in the wild, such as cypress fruits, red patterned rock powder, etc., so Lucien decided to find a time to go there.
Collect outside the city.
The three casting materials Lucien bought were sulfur that can repel insects and mosquitoes, sulfur that is frequently used in the "Fire Moon", night star grass that calms the mind and helps sleep - after becoming a student of a musician
, it is really normal to buy this kind of plant, as well as the ice crystal stone which has preservation and refreshing effects.
Lucien bought each of these three types of casting materials, enough to cast one hundred times. The most expensive was night star grass, followed by ice crystal, and sulfur was the cheapest. It cost Lucien one silver and twenty in total.
A copper fel, nearly half of Lucien's net worth.
This had to make Lucien sigh: "Magic is so expensive!"
…………
Since "Acid Splash" and "Frost Ray" are not as low-key as "Ring of Control", they will leave traces that are difficult to deal with. Moreover, during the day, people come and go in Adrang District, and the environment is complex, so Lucien
I don't dare to perform it in my hut, so I plan to find a sewer entrance at night, just like the witch, and go deep into the sewer to practice.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lucien went to Victor's house on time to continue the study he had missed yesterday.
"Lucien, do you have a job now?" After the one-hour study was over and Renee, Colin, Annie and others left, Victor suddenly asked in a soft tone.
At this time, there were only four students left in the hall: Lot, Phyllis, Herodotus and Lucien.
Lucien shook his head: "Mr. Victor, I lost my previous job and I haven't found a new one yet."
After experiencing how quickly learning magic costs money, Lucien has decided to go to the Copper Crown Tavern before evening to ask. If not, go to the administrative area tomorrow to have a look. But now, Victor asked about it without any warning.
, which made Lucien feel a little more hopeful.
"Based on your family conditions, even if I waive your tuition fees, studying from 2 to 6 pm every day may still have an impact on your life." Victor weighed his tone. He had asked Colin and Lei before.
Ni, I know that poor people like Lucien must work at least ten hours a day if they want to survive. Although I don’t know where Lucien got his previous tuition fees, looking at his clothes, his life must not be that big.
Improvement, "I happen to know that there is a relatively easy job. You only need to work four hours every morning and you can earn an income of ten silver Naels a month. Lucien, are you willing to go?"
It turned out that Victor really helped him find an easy job. Not only did Victor allow himself to become his real student and waived tuition, but he also cared about his life. Faced with this intention, Lucien's heart surged again
I was so moved that after I arrived, although I met villains and scum such as Jackson, I also met good people such as Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, John, and Mr. Victor: "I do, Mr. Victor."
"You agreed without even hearing what the job was?" Victor said humorously, "The association's music library is originally managed by one person in the morning and one in the afternoon every day, but I feel that with only one person, it is easy for mistakes to happen.
Therefore, I suggested that the association add two more. Unexpectedly, the association actually agreed. Well, when you manage the library, you can try to read some introductory music books, so that when I teach you, you can understand it faster. When you have
After a week of introductory learning, you can try to learn an instrument."
In Victor's mind, because he doesn't know what Lucien's talent is, he is going to let him learn a musical instrument as soon as possible and become a musician as soon as possible. When he becomes a musician, he will have a stable source of money. If he has talent, he can learn more advanced content.
not late.
Lucien was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he and the library were so destined. He traveled through the library, carried the library with him in his soul, and found that he wanted to become the administrator of the library. However, Lucien soon said with gratitude.
: "Thank you, Mr. Victor."
At first glance, this job was added by the Musicians Association just for Victor's sake. Working four hours a day, you can earn ten silver dollars a month. It's really a very good thing. You know, the original way
Sean, who works from morning to night, is exhausted, and can only earn three silver dollars a month. Now he has jumped directly from the bottom of the poor to a commoner with an ordinary income. This fully reflects the importance of relationships.
.
Victor clapped his hands: "I'm going to take Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus to the association concert hall in the afternoon to practice playing with the orchestra. Lucien, please follow me to the hall to sign a contract document. You can do it tomorrow morning.
Let’s get to work.”
When Mr. Victor went to clean up his messy papers that recorded many inspired melodies, Lott smiled and said to Lucien: "Get to know me, I am Lott, Lott Griffith. Mr. Victor is very good.
Teacher is also a very kind person. I hope you will not disappoint his expectations."
Originally, Lucien was suddenly accepted as a student by Victor. Lott was angry and dissatisfied. As a member of the Griffith family, he had to study music with a poor man who knew nothing and had no education.
The educated guy also wants to embark on the path of elegant and sacred musicians. This is really an insult to the dignity of the aristocracy.
However, from Mr. Victor's words, Lott heard that he wanted Lucien to become a musician, so this anger and dissatisfaction was relieved, and turned into a kind of aristocratic self-pity, with a condescending attitude toward the road.
Sean exudes kindness.
"Mr. Victor should be happy to see his students get along harmoniously with each other." Lott, who hoped to become a true disciple of Victor, thought to himself.
Lucien was not interested in what Lott thought. He had already chosen the path of magic. He probably wouldn’t have many interactions with them in the future, so he politely replied: “I will, thank you for reminding me, Lott.
, my name is Lucien Evans."
"I'm Phyllis Hain." The red-haired girl Phyllis nodded to Lucien reservedly and coldly. She didn't think Lucien could achieve much in music. After all, he started too late.
So for Lucien to become Victor's music student, he only regarded it as repaying Mr. Victor's kindness and didn't care.
Moreover, Lot can do many good things, but Phyllis cannot. If rumors spread about becoming friends with a poor person, it will have a big impact on her reputation and even affect her marriage choice.
.
Herodotus, a young man who had always disliked Lucien, also imitated Phyllis and greeted him politely and coldly.
…………
Musicians Guild Hall.
Stepping on the thick, soft carpet, Lucien followed Victor to the reception desk, while Lott, Phyllis and Herodotus were sent by Victor to the concert hall on the fifth floor to practice.
Elena, a beautiful girl with brown hair and blue eyes, bowed with a sweet voice: "Good afternoon, Mr. Victor."
"Good afternoon, Elena, this is Lucien, my music student. Starting tomorrow, he will be managing the library in the morning. Please sign the contract with him and hand it over to Mr. Hank." Victor introduced.
To Lucien.
Elena nodded, took out a piece of paper that had been prepared a long time ago, with only simple words written on it, and handed it to Lucien: "Hello, Mr. Lucien, Lucien?! It's you?!"
She felt that Lucien looked familiar just now. Now she was reading his name and recalled it instantly. Her emerald eyes were wide open. She couldn't believe that more than a week ago, she went to the poor street where the Musicians Association was carrying garbage.
Sean, now a music student of the musician Victor, said, "The world must be crazy!"
"Hello, Elena, it's nice to meet you." Lucien took the contract. Because he was not proficient in writing and needed to spell and look up the dictionary, he read a few simple lines for several minutes, which made Elena
He gradually calmed down and looked at Lucien curiously and enthusiastically, "If you see that there is nothing wrong with it, just sign or fingerprint the back, and then hand it over to me. I never thought that when I see you again, you will change so much."
Victor on the side smiled and asked: "Elena, do you know Lucien?"
"Mr. Victor, you were there at that time..." Elena quickly told the story, and Lucien read the contract and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He picked up the quill and signed his name pretending to be unskilled.
After hearing this, Victor looked at Lucien: "No wonder you always look familiar to me. Well, you have the will and action to make progress. The Lord will definitely bless you to succeed."
"Well, what success? Victor, have you prepared all the music?" Suddenly, a voice with a hint of acrimony sounded.
Lucien looked back and saw that it was Wolf, the brown-haired musician with his chin bent forward, whom he had seen last time.
