In the dark starry sky, surrounded by countless bright stars, Lucien stood on the main star of destiny and quietly looked at the depth that seemed to contain endless mysteries. His ear-length black hair flew with the inexplicable wind that rolled in, changing the usual tranquility and calmness.
It's tainted with a bit of wanton publicity.
Suddenly, the starry sky in front of Lucien turned scarlet, and a bright silver moon rose rapidly from it, piercing all the darkness.
Immediately afterwards, Silver Moon transformed into Rhine wearing a red shirt and black coat, and his huge bat wings once again enveloped the starry sky.
"Your dream was exactly the same as last time. How much do you like the starry sky? Is this why you chose astrology magic?" Rhine smiled and joked a few words, "Of course, I know you actually meant it before going to bed.
Hypnosis controls my soul and brain, so that I won't see any secrets revealed in my dreams. Magicians are really boring, but musicians are more fun. It's a pity, it's a pity..."
In his dream, Lucien maintained a calm and strong attitude: "Mr. Rhine, did you find anything in the clown's dream?"
Rhine chuckled and said: "Of course, your request was successfully fulfilled. Sure enough, a big shot came before the clown died and won over the remaining night watchmen."
Before planning this operation, Lucien had already summoned Rhine's projection through his mark, asking him to prepare to project into the dying clown's dream tonight to see everything he saw before his death. This is Lucien's repeated instructions
The real reason why Natasha let the Joker escape while dying.
"There is indeed a big shot coming... Is it Salde himself, or is it Cardinal Amorton?" Lucien asked calmly, not complacent because his inference was correct. Of course, the main reason was that this was Lucien's own half.
In the dream of light sleep and semi-hypnosis, he thinks that he can be as calm as he is, and he is the de facto master of the dream.
Rhine's smile slowly disappeared and he said calmly: "How did you guess that it might be Amorton?"
There was a hint of doubt in his calmness.
"Because in this matter, without the cooperation of Cardinal Salde and my telepathy, it would be difficult for Natasha to force the church and the tribunal into such a helpless and weak state, and it would also be difficult for Natasha to push the clown to death.
On the edge. Without his connivance, my plan would never have been able to proceed so smoothly. And amidst such smoothness, I found that Cardinal Vera Amorton had always remained silent, only conveying Salde's meaning, which was really not possible.
Like a real giant of the Inquisition. Based on this, I judge that she also has a problem." Lucien revealed another purpose behind his plan to fake death - to test Salde's condition.
Many times, the conspiracy does not necessarily need to be complicated and exquisite, what is needed is to be able to grasp the opponent's thoughts and desires!
After the clown rashly tested himself, he changed his mind and weaved another "secret network" with the help of the fake death. Then he read what he wanted to see from the church's step-by-step response, and tonight Rhine
Projecting the clown's dream is the final and necessary confirmation.
In this matter, even Natasha only knew part of Lucien's purpose, how could the clown guess it? So with the active inducement on one side and the cooperative pressure on the other, he inevitably stepped into the trap.
A faint smile appeared on Rhine's handsome face: "He can't wait to take advantage of every opportunity that others can't detect to divide the church and develop his own power, just like those saints did in the past. To the world of the dead
, obviously he knows more than me, no wonder I am trapped but he is not. However, maybe he has other encounters inside."
"Lucien, this is a good thing for your Magic Council. If Salde develops smoothly, maybe the Southern Church will split again in dozens or hundreds of years. Can you use this opportunity to confirm this in advance?
Your future choices and development will be of great benefit."
"I don't think there will be a split. Salde is neither a fool nor a lunatic. He must understand that if there is another split, the Southern Church will no longer be able to maintain the current situation of oppressing all parties, and the areas it can control will be greatly reduced. Regardless of Salde
What purpose does Ed have? It is definitely not a good thing for him to control the wealth and the sharp decrease in the number of believers. His choice should be to lie on the big tree of the church like a parasite, absorb its essence, and gradually grow until
One day, for example, when you become pope, the surface will replace it unchanged."
Lucien paused and continued: "So I infer that when Amorton subdued those night watchmen, he should have used the excuse that the church was currently weak and degenerate, deviated from the "Holy Scripture", and needed to return to the right path, instead of being like the original one.
When several saints split the church, they fiercely pointed out that the Pope was the incarnation of the Lord of Hell, stealing the glory of the Lord. Their path should be softer and more inclined to 'reform', although the essence has not changed."
Rhine clicked his tongue: "As your magic level increases, Lucien, you are getting smarter, more mature, and more and more aware of the overall situation. Hey, but I still think the young boy before was more interesting.
.”
Then, he told everything he saw in the clown's dream one by one, and finally confirmed that the clown was dead.
Lucien breathed a sigh of relief at this time, because letting the clown leave would be risky. If Salde took action personally, it would be possible to save him. But when he became more famous in the Magic Council, he would be able to use his original identity to
When boarding the purification sequence, it is difficult to guarantee that the crazy clown will not do anything to his relatives and friends.
Although if the clown survived and was discovered by other night watchmen or nobles, it would be easy to expose the weirdness of the Violet parish, which made Lucien infer that Sard would not save the clown, whether it was himself or a spokesperson
He would deliberately be late for a period of time when he came forward, but there were no absolutes in things, and Salde's thoughts were not completely guessable by him. What if he thought that the clown was a talent and could be sent to other places to do secret things?
Therefore, after hearing Rhine's confirmation of the clown's death, Lucien finally felt relieved, and the next step was the funeral ceremony of the great musician, which he did not need to attend.
…………
When I woke up from my dream, the moonlight outside the window was still cold.
When Lucien opened his eyes, he thought about the tragic reactions of his relatives and friends after the news of his death came out, and he suddenly felt guilty and painful - in order to ensure the emotional authenticity of the funeral and his own safety, he had to wait until everything was over and he was about to leave Al.
Only when the time comes can he reveal to Uncle Joel and the others the fact that he is still alive and the reason for making this choice.
This would cause them to suffer for several days, which made Lucien feel a little bit the same now, so his low mood completely offset the joy of the success of the plan, and he was tossing and turning, unable to calm down.
Since the War Gallery was Natasha's private palace and protected by Camille, Lucien got up without worrying about being discovered and walked to the window, quietly looking at the everlasting silver moon, trying to calm down his mood.
"You can't sleep either?" On such a quiet night, Natasha's voice seemed soft.
Lucien turned his head slightly and saw her walking in the garden under the moonlight. Pieces of violets and lilies bloomed abnormally at the same time under the effect of the magical array, making them delicate and dreamy, and the fragrance of the flowers was tangy.
"Well, when I think of Uncle Joel and Teacher Victor's reaction after knowing the news of my 'death', I feel very confused and very painful. I want to tell them the truth tonight." Lucien said without hiding anything, with deep thoughts in his heart.
The desire to talk.
Natasha waved to Lucien to come out, and she patted the railing of the corridor next to the garden, and sat on it like a princess.
Lucien didn't have a mysophobia, so he sat on the railing next to Natasha without mind and smelled a refreshing scent that made people calm. She didn't like to apply various cosmetics on herself like most aristocratic ladies, and the Heavenly Knight
My body has lost many impurities, and the fragrance on my body is clean and pure.
"Lucien, I understand your pain, just like when I pretended to be sad in front of my father to make him worry. No, it's different. He was just worried, and I was in a bad mood. And when it comes to dawn, you Qiao
Uncle Er, their pain will be more serious than worry, and your mood will definitely be much worse than mine before." Natasha patted Lucien's shoulder comfortingly, "But we can't let emotions affect our judgment.
, as long as you make a decision, you must implement it firmly. This may be cruel, but the result is the best."
"Weakness, sensibility, hesitation, etc. can neither save ourselves nor the people we want to protect. As I said before, cruelty is also a kind of tenderness."
Lucien nodded slightly: "I understand, I have always understood it, and I will continue to do it firmly, but the pain and sentimentality in my heart will not be reduced by this. I can only touch it and bear their bite."
"So, tell me, that will make you feel better. It's better to do this to save you from embarrassment and to be fair. Let's exchange sad things with each other." Natasha said generously.
"Okay, let me start by saying that this incident makes me feel despicable. I used the most beautiful human emotions as part of my plan and ignored the pain of my relatives and friends." Lucien whispered.
Natasha turned sideways and sat side by side with Lucien: "Being able to feel such self-blame means that you are not despicable and that you are doing it for their own good. And I know the wishes of my father and other elders.
, but turned a blind eye, hurt them wantonly, and did whatever he wanted. Hey, he didn't even have a good reason for them, he was really a selfish and cruel person."
"We cannot distort our own path and will because of others. Some can be compromised while others are destined to be unable to give up." Lucien did not turn around to look at Natasha's expression. He comforted her in a low mood and continued to talk.
The "cunning and cunning", "cruel and merciless" "Professor" and the "firm and tough", "killing and decisive" "Judgment Sword" you spoke to me about all the suppressed weaknesses and sorrows in your heart.
It was not until midnight that the voices of the two gradually subsided, and they fell into a quiet and peaceful state of mind.
There was silence all around, and he might have felt the body temperature coming from Natasha's back, so Lucien said without turning around: "Be careful with Sard."
"Okay." Natasha didn't ask further. This was the result of Lucien's promise.
…………
Early in the morning, the Aalto Musicians Association.
Franz walked in with a copy of "Aalto Weekly", which was another report he had collected about the "Return Concert".
Under the title "Unprecedented Music Festival, Unparalleled Symphonic Peak", the first comment is: "This night was simply a riot. Their madness and respect for Lucien Evans exceeded imagination. Of course,
'They' include me..."
Franz, who participated in the preparations for this concert, was very happy to see these compliments, because these two symphonies pushed his respect for Mr. Evans to the extreme, and every sentence that praised Lucien made him happy.
.
Franz, who was watching as he walked, suddenly noticed that the air seemed to have become oppressive and solid, so he turned around in shock and saw Princess Natasha slowly walking into the hall surrounded by a group of solemn soldiers. The suppressed sadness came from her.
emitted.
"What happened?" Franz thought slightly uneasily. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
