After pressing the last key, Lucien raised his hands and listened quietly to the reverberation of the strings in the piano room, feeling a faint sense of accomplishment in his heart.
This is not because I copied the Symphony of Destiny, but because in the past three weeks, except for the time to learn magic, I have devoted all my energy to practicing piano playing. In the morning, I played virtually in the music library.
Like Pierre, he was completely immersed in the world of music. He hurriedly finished his meal at noon without taking a lunch break. He went directly to Mr. Victor’s house and the association’s piano room and practiced until the evening. Only when Victor came to give guidance did he practice.
Can play simple music.
If you put in the effort, you will gain. Lucien can now at least play the Symphony of Destiny without being called noise. Although many technical aspects are still unfinished, as long as people with profound knowledge of music hear it, they will definitely
You can discover the precious value contained in this piece of music.
[I believe Mr. Victor is no exception.] Lucien put away his pride in his improvement in piano playing ability and stood up, because Lucien himself knew very well that this was a seriously abnormal improvement, which only relied on a lot of practice and repetition.
With the practice and superhuman memory, I can play this piece of music. I still can't play other slightly difficult pieces of music. Each one requires a similar amount of effort over a long period of time, which is far inferior to the kind of solid practice.
People who have learned the basics before starting to practice difficult music.
Turning around, Lucien saw Phyllis's plump lips pressed against the flute, but she did not play. Her ruby-like eyes stared at him with doubt, and there was even residual surprise on her bright face.
"The melody you played just now..." Phyllis stopped practicing on the flute and was about to leave when she happened to hear Lucien's smooth last melody. Although the playing skills were not yet mature, the rhythm was still a bit slow.
But it sounded like it felt good, which she couldn't believe.
Lucien interrupted the Symphony of Destiny with rubbish strings, allowing people to hear only one section at a time, and whenever they wanted to have a pleasant feeling, they were frequently disturbed by junk strings, so in the same piano room
Phyllis, Lott, and others only felt that Lucien's playing skills were improving, and did not think that the music he wrote was very good. Until just now, Lucien played to the end, became proficient, and sang the music smoothly in one breath.
After playing the ending chords, Phyllis had a strong sense of contrast.
There were only three days left, and only one week left before the concert. Lucien planned to find an opportunity to ask Mr. Victor to "taste" his music tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Therefore, he was not panicked by Phyllis' doubts, but instead
It felt just right, just to make them feel this way. Even if Phyllis didn't notice it today, she would find an opportunity tomorrow to surprise them similarly.
"Phyllis, what do you think?" Lucien showed a "sincere" and polite smile.
Phyllis put down the flute and opened her mouth: "This... you... your playing ability has improved a lot."
She still didn't think it was a melody composed by Lucien himself. She attributed the reason to Lucien's improvement in piano playing ability, and the music should be a piano piece she had never heard. After all, she mainly studied flute.
.
Lucien just wanted her to have an impression, and when she didn't ask, he smiled and said: "Thank you for the compliment, Phyllis. Night is coming soon, and it looks like there may be a storm tonight, so I have to go back first
Already."
In the "Harvest Moon" (September), the climate is still hot, and the dark mountains block the monsoon, and the entire Violet Park belongs to the basin. Therefore, in recent months, there has been a heavy rain every few days, and
Today, before six o'clock, the sky is already as dark as seven or eight o'clock, humid and muggy, and it seems like heavy rain will fall at any time.
"See you tomorrow, Lucien." Phyllis rarely answered normally, and then looked at Lucien's back as he walked out of the piano room, doubts still appearing on his face, even though he had already come to a conclusion.
At this time, Lot and Herodotus had left for a while, leaving her with no one to discuss with.
Lucien walked downstairs and saw the butler Ace directing the servants to clean the hall, so he stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Ace, where is Mr. Victor? I have something to find him." Now that Phyllis had noticed, Lu Xien
Sean is also planning to advance the time. For this kind of thing, it is always better to do it sooner rather than later.
Ace is always serious and polite: "Mr. Victor went to the cemetery and may not come back until very late. Mr. Lucien, is it urgent?"
"Tomorrow will do." Lucien didn't know how long he would wait, so he pushed it to tomorrow. He would have to go back to conduct magic experiments. This was his true path in the future.
During this period of time, Lucien basically understood the "Arcana" journal, and at the same time used the documents, materials, books, etc. that could be opened in the library to quickly improve his basic knowledge, which was magic analysis, construction
, the stage of rapid application progress. For example, Lucien combined the knowledge of partial frequencies and vibrations to transform the structure and construction process of the sonic magic "Homantz's Cough". After many experiments, he created an unknown
There are two new apprentice-level informal magics in the Continental Magic Council headquarters.
In comparison, Lucien's progress in soul and mental power lags far behind the integration of his own knowledge and magic, as well as the speed of understanding magic. Currently, he is still a little short of being able to use his mental power for ten consecutive times.
Apprentice-level magic, the level of becoming a formal magic apprentice, is completely opposite to the situation of ordinary magic apprentices. This stage is a stage of rapid growth of mental power. As long as the talent is not too poor, one can become a high-level magic apprentice within one to two years, so
It is normal for the mastery of knowledge to lag behind the growth of spiritual power.
…………
In the increasingly dark evening, when Lucien walked into Aunt Alisa's house, he casually glanced at the corner of the house next door and immediately discovered that a new mark appeared where the original mark had been erased.
[News about evil creatures...] Lucien walked into Aunt Alisa's house with an unchanged expression, as if he cast his gaze over by chance.
The meaning of Smail's group of pictures is: "Dear Professor, the sage has news about evil creatures. See you at the same place tonight at ten o'clock. Owl."
[After failing to attend secret gatherings for several times in a row, did they finally tempt themselves with news about evil creatures?] Lucien was eating brown bread and beef stew with potatoes while thinking about this matter, [Is it possible?
Is it a trap? If so, is it the owner of the crow or someone else?]
After thinking for a long time, Lucien decided to observe secretly when the time came, and make sure there was no ambush before meeting with Smile and the Sage.
As long as you get the blood of evil creatures, you can summon resentful spirits and collect resentful spirit dust. Then Lucien can make money with peace of mind and try to buy Moonlight Rose.
[But before that, you need to prepare some items. 】
…………
At night, in Lucien's magic laboratory.
On the alchemy array carved on the surface of the stone table, there is a black vessel similar to the size of a cup. Blue flames are burning the bottom of it, and a red liquid like magma is rolling inside.
Lucien had a solemn look on his face. He held a 20-centimeter-long stoneware rod in his left hand and carefully stirred the red liquid. He held a glass tube in his right hand and slowly tilted it to pour out the black liquid inside drop by drop.
Drop into the container and mix with the red liquid.
Every drop of black liquid that fell in would stir up a burst of white mist, causing the red liquid to shrink and solidify suddenly, as if it was about to explode. Fortunately, Lucien's left hand cooperated with the stirring and the precise control of the alchemy array by his mental power.
There were no experimental accidents.
After the black liquid was poured out, Lucien placed his right hand on the alchemy array, changing its operation. Thin red threads appeared one after another, wrapping the black vessels. At the same time, Lucien recited an awkward incantation in his mouth,
The index finger of his left hand shot out a white and cold light, which fell into the black vessel.
When extreme heat encounters frost, there will be drastic changes immediately. The white mist will rise and even have a tendency to explode, but it will gradually stabilize after being wrapped by those red thin lines.
The thick white mist dissipated, and a small amount of red viscous liquid appeared in the black vessel. There seemed to be a flame burning in the flow.
Lucien breathed a sigh of relief, poured the red viscous liquid into a glass tube and sealed it. This was the "Fire Glue" that the witch was preparing to refine.
After collecting all the experimental materials, Lucien began the alchemy experiment in this area, because according to the witch's description, the power of "blazing glue" is not small, and according to Lucien's previous failed experiments, he was burned into a light
Based on the experience of injuries and the power experiment with a small amount of "hot glue", it can be seen that it is similar to a gasoline bomb, but the explosion power is not strong enough.
Lucien originally wanted to refine some nitroglycerin and add it, but considering the danger and the fact that he didn't have a good protective spell yet, he gave up temporarily.
Open the box in the magic laboratory, and there are seven tubes of liquid lying inside. It was Lucien's alchemical achievements during this period. There are two tubes of "Fire Glue" and three tubes of "Brown Owl" that speed up the recovery of mental power. The brown inside
The liquid has been bubbling violently, and the other two tubes are "storms" that treat injuries and exhaust physical strength.
Lucien took out the seven tubes of magic potion and inserted them into a secret pocket near the belt of his black robe along with the tube of "Fire Glue" he had just refined. There were many scraps of blankets inside to prevent strenuous exercise.
Glass test tubes engraved with magical runes clashed against each other.
After doing all this, Lucien opened his own magic notebook on the table and looked at the two pages on the left and right where the structure and construction process of the two new apprentice-level magics he had created were written.
This was based on Lucien's knowledge of vibration and frequency, and after hundreds of experiments and attempts, he modified the sonic magic of "Homantz's Cough". The requirement for mental power is equivalent to a star system magic.
And the function is very special. Although it is not very useful in actual combat, it can have amazing effects on special occasions.
After watching these two magic spells quietly for a while, Lucien took out his quill and wrote a row of fancy words at the top of each page to give them names:
"The Scream of the Bat";
"The Resonating Hand of the Professor".
After writing this, Lucien walked out of the magic laboratory, returned to the hut, lay on the bed, restored his mental strength, waited until 9:40, pulled down his hood, and left the room.
