Chapter 32 Meeting

The three shifts in the past two days are still at the same time, 9 am, 7 pm and 11:30 pm.

Also, I would like to praise the little girl Balsila. She has completed the map. It is very good. Thank you very much. I will upload it later.

…………………………………………………………………………

Franz expressed his true feelings, as if he was trapped in his own memories: "Because I stayed up late studying music and devoted all my energy to composing songs while working hard, my body and spirit gradually became unable to bear it, my health began to deteriorate, and I suffered from frequent illnesses.

I can't concentrate at ordinary times. In the words of my neighbors and co-workers, I feel hazy, as if I haven't woken up from a dream, like a corpse without a soul."

"They persuaded me to give up music, thinking that if I continue like this, within five years, my body and spirit will completely collapse. Although they all admit that my music and my songs are not bad, they all agree that I cannot support myself through them.

, to support my mother and my younger brothers and sisters.”

"The difficulty of life, the pressure of the environment, physical and mental limits, and the invisible burden of my family made it difficult for me to breathe, and I began to have the idea of ​​giving up music, because I am not alone and I have to shoulder many responsibilities.

"

The slightly choked description made many successful musicians here, as well as struggling musicians and music students feel the same way, thinking of the difficulties and obstacles on the music road that they have experienced in the past or are currently experiencing, the kind of ubiquitous pressure, that kind of

The exhaustion that comes from the heart is difficult for people who have not had similar experiences to resonate with.

Of course, they all admitted that compared to the difficulties Franz encountered, everything they faced was much easier, so the musicians and music students secretly made up their minds to persevere and work hard, and strive to one day be able to be like Franz.

The successful gesture recalls the past on the concert stage. This is a feeling and an honor!

In their minds, Franz can be regarded as a success because his piano skills are excellent. His song forms are innovative, which are heard by everyone and people have to admit, and they are based on his own strength.

He also received very high praise from Mr. Evans!

Being praised like this by a top musician means that he has made a name for himself in the music industry and is about to become a real musician, just like Mr. Evans who was praised by Mr. Christopher.

Lucien was also very touched by Franz's experience. If he hadn't improved his mental power in danger, strengthened his memory, and become energetic, then even if he had a soul library, while staying up late studying and analyzing magic, I'm afraid

It is also difficult to learn the basics of music well. In this way, even if there is great music such as "Symphony of Destiny", one would not dare to show it and expose its shortcomings.

Seeing Mr. Evans, Mr. Christopher, and Mr. Victor all nodded slightly. Franz's vision seemed a little blurred, and he continued to say emotionally: "When I decided to give up music, I felt relaxed and disappointed at first, so

I am going to listen to a cheap concert at the Civilian Concert Hall as a farewell to my music career."

"But I underestimated my love for music. When sonatas, concertos and symphonies were poured out in the hands of the orchestra, I could not restrain my sadness and despair. If there is no music, what is the meaning of my life? It is so intense that it seems

In the pain that was about to kill me, I chose to get up and walk towards the door with difficulty. I didn’t want to listen to a melody that had nothing to do with me anymore, and I didn’t want to hesitate anymore.”

"When I walked down the aisle to the beautiful melody and stood at the door, the symphony just happened to end. The applause covered up the music, which seemed to indicate the end of my musical path. The huge loss hit my heart, so

I turned around and prayed silently, recited poetry, and said my final farewell to the music."

Franz gradually became excited and waved his hands: "The light seemed to disappear completely, and the darkness completely enveloped my life. But just when I turned back and opened the door with my disappointed and dim soul and body, Dang Dang Dang, short, powerful and exciting

The note suddenly appeared! It seemed to be beating on my heart, making me feel both fear and an indescribable trembling."

"The next melody came like a storm, overwhelming me, as if the hardship of life, poor physical and mental health, and invisible family burdens completely broke out and wanted to destroy me, but in the storm, I heard

When it came to the shouting, I heard the determination to never give up, and the melodies were like guns proclaiming the courage to fight."

"I seem to hear the torture contained in your music, Mr. Evans. Am I defeated by life, or do I choose to give in? Did life make me give up, or did I give up music myself? When facing difficulties, I find various reasons.

Let yourself be weak, or march forward with blood like a knight, until death, never retreat, never give up?"

"No, I will never give in to difficulties! By the time the glorious chapter of victory was over, I had found the answer. I was shouting like a madman near the door of the concert hall, and my heart was full of strength. After that day, I quit my other job and started

I became a bard who had always looked down on me, because it was the only way that I could learn music while ensuring the survival of my family. No matter how much discrimination, blows and hardships I encountered later, I never thought about giving up. Whenever I feel tired and weak,

When the time comes, play yourself a song called "Destiny" and a song called "Pathetism."

Franz withdrew his hands that emphasized his tone, and said in a slower voice: "As the songs I sang as a bard were loved by people, my income gradually became richer, and many nobles also hired me to join their private bands. Finally, I was allowed to

The family leads a good life.”

"After my younger brother and younger sister became apprentices and had their own life path and skills to survive, I left most of my savings to my family and pursued my dream of music without any burden."

He put his right hand on his chest and bowed with extraordinary respect: "And all this is because of you, Mr. Evans. Without your life philosophy and shouting and torture contained in your music, I would not be able to find the strength to support myself. You are my life."

My mentor, it is my greatest pride and honor to have you attend my first real concert.”

"Thank you again, Mr. Evans."

The musicians, musicians, and students present applauded from the bottom of their hearts, enthusiastically like the tide, not only for Franz’s persistence, but also for the power of music.

Lucien said with emotion: "The main thing is your own tenacity."

Next, Christopher and Victor also commented on Franz’s songs and both gave them good reviews.

The joy and excitement of being truly affirmed allowed Franz's next symphony to completely reveal his own style. Although it is still very immature and far from outstanding, the hope and expectation contained in the music are like

It is as natural as a spring field.

While quietly enjoying Franz's symphony, three ladies came through the door of the concert hall. One was bright and charming, with thick lips and fiery hair, one had brown hair and blue eyes. She was sweet and pretty, and the other had a mature temperament and plump black hair.

Phyllis, Elena and Grace heard that Lucien was back and rushed to the association together.

After seeing Lucien sitting in the first row, the three ladies all breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, it was him.

Lucien had a keen intuition, turned around and smiled at them, and put his index finger on his lips, indicating that they should listen to the music quietly first.

Compared with before, Phyllis, an aristocratic girl, has become much more mature. Apparently following Victor's travels and her experience of holding concerts, she quickly got rid of her immaturity; Elena's appearance has changed a lot, with long hair tied up and a sweet look.

She exuded a mature charm and a little tiredness on her face; Grace no longer had the contradictory hesitation of being depressed and proud like Stork. Every move she made was very relaxed and comfortable.

But three years, especially three years around the age of 20, is enough for ordinary humans to forget many people and many things. Although Lucien's name often appears in the music industry and in newspapers,

They still felt a slight sense of strangeness and alienation.

Lucien felt the same.

…………

After Franz's small concert, Lucien made an appointment with him the next day to discuss the conversion of poems into songs, and then returned to the familiar Victor Palace, No. 12 Sneva Street, Gisu District, with Victor and Phyllis.

A private luncheon was held to welcome Lucien back.

When Victor went to give instructions to the butler, Mr. Ace, Phyllis and Elena, who had been silent along the way, finally said, "Welcome back, Lucien."

After not seeing each other for a long time, they suddenly didn't know what topics to talk about and what attitude to use to get along with Lucien.

"Teacher Evans, thank you for your letter." Grace took the opportunity to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Lucien smiled and shook his head, talking about his travels and interesting things he encountered, to resolve the invisible barriers and depressing atmosphere.

Gradually, Phyllis and Alina began to talk and laugh, regaining some of their previous attitudes.

At this moment, the servant opened the door, and a strong and broad woman wearing a tight long skirt ran in and hugged Lucien: "Little Evans, you are finally back! I'm still here

I’m worried that you might encounter robbers or wild wolves on the road..."

As Alyssa spoke, she took out her handkerchief and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. After she learned about Lucien's return from the servant sent by Victor to report the news, she hurried over dragging Joel and Alvin, who happened to be on vacation.

.

"Alissa, let go of little Evans. He is a quasi-knight, so he is not afraid of robbers or wolves." Joel shook his head helplessly at Lucien, and then smiled: "Welcome home.

, Little Evans.”

The life of an aristocrat has not slowed down Joel's aging. Problems accumulated in the past have begun to emerge. His short blond hair has become thinner and grayer, and wrinkles have gradually increased.

"I've always missed you guys." Lucien said with a little emotion.

Joel chuckled, turned around and pulled Alvin over: "Why don't you say hello to your brother Lucien?"

Alvin is the one who has changed the most among the acquaintances Lucien has met. He has grown a lot and is a little taller than Lucien. His childish face has become a youthful face, and there is a clear blue color above his lips and chin.

Bearded, he inherited his father's handsome appearance and was 45% similar to John, but he looked stronger and stronger.

Looking at Lucien, he looked very reserved and shy, as if he were facing a stranger. He lowered his head and said, "Welcome back, Brother Lucien."

For a kid like him, three years is almost one-third of his life. He has very little memory of the first five or six years, so shyness and unfamiliarity are inevitable.

…………

After a meeting, because he couldn't stand Aunt Alisa's efforts to introduce him to a marriage partner and nagging about children, Lucien got up and went to the bathroom, and Grace quietly followed him.

"Teacher, I have something to tell you." Grace's voice was very low.

Lucien looked at her doubtfully: "What's the matter?"

"After I came to Alto, a man dressed as a clown secretly asked me about you." Grace said the key point directly.
