The next morning, Lucien had to register the score of the piano skit with Joseph. After waking up and eating breakfast prepared by the cook, he strolled towards the Musicians' associations in the administrative district.
It was almost nine o 'clock in the morning, and the wide street was filled with melodious and beautiful music, highlighting the reputation of Aalto as the capital of music. What made Lucien feel funny and strange was that he could already hear the first movement of the Serenade for Strings in G major that he had just played last night. The lively melody of the Serenade for Strings sounded from every corner from time to time. "Could it be that some musician sold the score to the bards and street artists so that they could have one more piece to perform?"
He had to admit that in terms of entertainment, popularity, and popularity, this piece of music was indeed better than the Symphony of Fate.
In the atmosphere of the music, Lucien walked into the hall of the association. As soon as the receptionist, Elena saw him, she immediately gave Lucien a look and signaled him to come over.
"Elena?" Lucien stood in front of the wooden cabinet and asked curiously in a low voice.
Elena covered her mouth and snickered a few times before saying, "Lucien, there have been several noble ladies who have come to you before. They want to learn piano and music from you. Haha, one of them is Miss Phyllis's good friend, Yvette. By the way, here are the letters sent to you by the musicians in the nearby countries. They all want to discuss the creation of a symphony with you. "
Recently, the issue of Music Criticism and Symphony News was completely released in the central and western countries of the mainland, and received feedback from the "readers".
Lucien took the large pile of letters and looked upstairs. He was a little scared of Yvette. After thinking for a while, he directly said to Elena, "Elena, in the future, if there are similar things like this, you can tell them that because I'm concentrating on composing a piece of music, in the next year, except for being the music consultant of Her Royal Highness, I won't accept any invitation or accept any music students. Haha, the foundation of my own music is still very weak. "
"Mr. Evans, are you inspired to create another piece of music?" When Kathy heard the conversation between the two, she opened her eyes wide and stared at Lucien curiously. Didn't he just adapt a Kanon and compose a piano piece? Could it be that his inspiration was endless?
Lucien nodded and replied jokingly, "Haha, because I want to have a concert of my own as soon as possible." This could be considered as paving the way for future matters.
"How admirable and enviable." Kathy and Elena sighed at the same time.
Then Elena asked hesitantly, "Lucien, are you really not accepting music students recently? I once said that when you become a musician, I will learn music from you. "
Lucien smiled and said, "We are friends, after all. Elena, if you have any questions about music, feel free to ask me. But I really don't have time to teach students in the next year."
In fact, Lucien was secretly protecting Elena. If the Church got the news that he was going to the Headquarters of the Magic Council, it would not be a big problem for ordinary friends. If John became a Knight, their family would not be a big problem. However, his music students would be in trouble.
"Thank you, Lucien." Elena was very satisfied with such a promise.
Then, Lucien gave the music score to Elena and asked her to register it with Joseph. He prepared to go to the piano room on the fourth floor to practice, avoiding the noble ladies who were waiting for him.
However, as soon as Elena went upstairs, a dark purple carriage arrived outside the Musicians' Association. It was the carriage that Natasha usually sent to pick up Lucien.
"Her Royal Highness invites you, Mr. Evans. Some of the books don't need to be translated. You can read them directly." The coachman politely conveyed Natasha's words to Lucien.
Lucien smiled and shook his head. Natasha was indeed impatient. As long as she made up her mind, she would try her best to move forward.
However, this was exactly what Lucien wanted. Therefore, he did not refuse and got on the carriage.
… …
In the study of War Gallery, Natasha, who was wearing a long black dress, led Lucien to the rows of bookshelves and introduced the books to him, "There are Knight novels, there are classical operas, there are historical documents of different countries, and there are travelogues …"
After introducing the bookshelves, Natasha pointed at a middle-aged man who was sitting by the desk next to the window, "This is Mr. Beck, a famous historian and ancient linguist. He's a member of the Hill family. I invited him to translate some of the books written in the language of the Magic Empire for you."
Beck was already bald when he was less than fifty years old. The rest of his hair was white and sparse. He was wearing thick glasses on his face.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Beck. Thank you for your help." Lucien greeted him politely.
When Natasha came in, Beck had already stood up and responded to Lucien with the same courtesy, "It's my pleasure to serve Her Royal Highness and help you, Mr. Evans. The book I'm translating for you is A Collection of Heroic Poems in the Dark Age. It's an excellent poem left by the time when many heroes emerged and overthrew the evil sorcerers under the guidance of the God of Truth."
Lucien saw a book with a black cover and a different decoration style on the desk. He picked it up casually and browsed through it quickly, "What a complicated and evil language."
This collection of Heroic Poems in the Dark Age appeared in Lucien's Library of the Soul in its entirety. The classified bookshelf was "Ancient Literature".
Since Lucien just browsed through it casually and did not mean to read it carefully, neither Natasha nor Beck had any suspicion.
Beck smiled, "Many materials and ancient documents in the relics are written in this language, so we have to learn them. We only need to prevent this evil language from spreading to the civilians. Mr. Evans, I'm a devout believer. I hope that the works I've translated can help you find inspiration and create a solemn movement that praises the true God and the heroes. "
"I also hope that I can find such inspiration." Lucien smiled perfunctorily. It was not like he could write, "Rise up, slaves in hunger and cold … Fight for the truth", could he?
After exchanging a few words, Beck continued his work, and Lucien "casually" turned to other books of the Ancient Magic Empire. "Her Royal Highness, why are they not translated? Don't you read them? "
"The nobles who have studied in the abbey all know the language of the Sylvanas Magic Empire. I don't need to translate them." Seeing that Lucien was checking the books quickly, Natasha explained to him, "Alright, Lucien, I've asked the knight to take away the books that you can't read. You can read the rest of the books in the library as you wish." Natasha explained, "Alright, Lucien. I'll go to the piano room to work on the music. If I have any questions, I'll come to you. "
After Natasha left, Lucien immediately began to read the books in the Common Language in the library. In order not to raise suspicion, he did not turn the pages quickly but read very carefully.
After more than a month of reading, Lucien finally got rid of the ignorance and confusion of this world and gained a new understanding of the situation on the continent.
"Because the ancient sorcerers obtained powerful magic by analyzing and simulating the abilities of various magic creatures, they conducted bloody human experiments all year round, trying to integrate different kinds of bloodlines into the human body. After the death of countless human beings, almost every living human being had a different kind of bloodline. The research in this field reached its peak, but the rule of the sorcerers was also in danger. The people all over the continent and the test subjects with powerful bloodlines all rebelled and rebelled."
"Originally, they could not have defeated the powerful sorcerers by themselves. However, the Saint Truth, which had been secretly developing, stepped onto the stage. With the power that was not inferior to the Magic Empire, the Saint Truth led the bloodline nobles to set off a climax that crushed the Magic Empire. This year was the beginning of the Saint Calendar, and then the War of Dawn, which lasted for more than four hundred years, began."
After careful selection, Lucien read all the books that described the sorcerers as evil and horrible, and the heroes as tragic.
"The Violet family was originally a Count in the western border area of the Holy Helvetic Empire. They controlled a powerful group of Knights. At the end of the War of Dawn, the Violet family moved westward with the help of the Church and occupied Aalto, the last important city of the Holy Helvetic Empire. The Violet family was named the Grand Duke and became independent from the Holy Helvetic Empire."
"In the 425th year of the Saint Calendar, the Church held the highest religious conference in the Holy City of Lance to discuss the final stage of the War of Dawn. They planned to destroy the evil creatures hiding in the Dark Mountain Range and the kingdoms of evil gods in the northwest of the Dark Mountain Range. However, in the conference, some of the Grand Cardinals who had been planning for a long time had a disagreement with the Pope about the description of the God of Truth. After that, they returned to the north. With the help of the Schachran Empire and the nobles in the northern kingdoms and duchies, the Church's westward advance ended in advance."
When Lucien read these records, he finally understood what kind of power Natasha was talking about.
Natasha answered Lucien's question about why the Church did not continue to march westward, and why they did not attack the evil creatures in the Dark Mountain Range and the kingdoms of the evil gods. Natasha gave a meaningful answer:
"In the eyes of most believers, the heretics are even more abominable than the heretics."
"The Holy Sword Knight Legion is stationed in the North Fortress at the border between the Duchy and the Schachran Empire."
"Why did those Grand Cardinals choose to split? Hehe. Now, except for the Pope and the Pope of the northern cult, nobody knows the answer. "
From these history books, Lucien also knew that the Duchy of Orvarit, Syracuse and the northern provinces of the Holy Helvetic Empire were the frontlines against the heretics.
On the whole continent, other than the two empires, there was also the Gusta Empire in the southernmost part of the continent. However, since the royal family had lost the ability to control the big nobles and big lords, the Gusta Empire was only a nominal empire. As for the other kingdoms, duchies, counts, free cities and federations, including the ones that believed in the northern cult, there were almost sixty of them.
Also, in the east of the continent, there was an "inland sea" called Storm Strait, which was similar to the Mediterranean Sea. Natasha's mother was the princess of the kingdom on the other side of the continent.
However, all the books and documents Lucien read about the kingdom on the other side of the Storm Strait were very simple.
… …
Two weeks before the New Year, the wind was howling outside. Lucien was sitting in front of the fireplace in the living room, warming himself up. He let the recliner rock slowly and continued to read the Book of Astrology and Elements as if he had fallen asleep.
Lucien's greatest achievement recently was that he had mastered the commonly used language of the ancient Magic Empire. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
