Natasha was very satisfied with the piano piece "To Alice", but she did not forbid Lucien from reading books in her study. She was now very confident in Lucien's creative ability. She hoped that Lucien could get inspiration from the religious classics, epics, folk heroes' poems, historical documents, and Knight's novels and write classic works.
So Lucien went to Ratacia Palace every Tuesday and Thursday at nine o 'clock to read books, and at eleven o' clock, he would discuss music with Natasha, fulfilling his duty as a music consultant.
"Evans, what are you doing?" In the study, Beck, who had translated dozens of pages of books, was walking back and forth to relieve his tiredness. He was surprised to see Lucien organizing and copying books.
Lucien finished writing a row of beautiful words on the white paper with fancy handwriting. Then he raised his head and answered Beck, "I'm organizing and summarizing these historical documents and poems, so that I can look for creative materials in the future."
Although they had known each other for almost two months, due to Beck's old-fashioned and conservative personality, Lucien did not become familiar with him.
When Beck heard that Lucien was organizing, he took a thick stack of white paper and looked at it curiously. After a while, he said with great confusion, "Evans, the way you organize is very strange. It's like a general history from the Dark Age to the Holy Age, but it's also like a biography, mixing the stories of the clergy, emperors, kings, dukes, Count, and other heroes, as well as the changes of culture and law."
"Because for me, the story of each epic character is more important. This way, it's clearer and gives me more inspiration." Lucien replied with a smile.
Some time ago, Beck doubted Lucien's memory and told Natasha about it, so Lucien was a bit vigilant. After becoming a Knight and a sorcerer, it was normal for his memory to improve. However, most of his powerful memory came from the Library of the Soul, which was way beyond normal. Therefore, Lucien had to do something to cover it up, such as his talent of organizing and summarizing and his unique ideas.
Therefore, Lucien simply sorted out the historical documents in Natasha's study according to the historical records, except that he did not mention anything about Taishi Yue.
Baker nodded and accepted Lucien's explanation. Highlighting heroes was one of the main ways to create operas, novels, and music. Sorting out historical documents in this way only required a slight change in thinking.
He looked at it carefully again and said seriously, "I think that if we organize it according to this way of thinking, we already have a completely new direction of recording history. No wonder Evans can recall the historical documents so clearly and quickly. You are talented in this aspect. "
So far, the historical records were still chronicles. Together with the biographies of the most famous figures and war epics, Lucien's style of chronicles was novel but not shocking.
At this moment, Natasha suddenly walked into the study. Hearing Beck's words, she asked curiously and then laughed, "Lucien, so you're really going to be a historian. However, it's better to separate the clerics, emperors, dukes and other people of different positions. The etiquette among the nobles is very strict. They can't be mixed together."
"Fine." Lucien didn't really want to make a history book. He only wanted to use the innovation of organizing and summarizing to cover his problem. "Her Royal Highness, it's not eleven yet. Why are you looking for me in the study?"
Natasha motioned for Beck to continue translating the books and pulled Lucien to the corner of the study. She smiled brightly, but with a "you know what I mean" expression, she said, "Yesterday was Sylvia's birthday. There was no party, just the two of us. She was very satisfied with the piano piece 'For Sylvia'. She said that it was the pure and beautiful music that she had been trying to find. This morning, when I told her that it was your work, she wasn't angry. On the contrary, she was very grateful to you and wanted to invite you to her house tonight. It's a private party for me, Aunt Camille, Sylvia and Sylvia's father. "
"I think that Sylvia would be a bit unhappy about this kind of thing." Lucien started to discuss this with Natasha, "There's a big difference between a work created by your lover and a work created by someone else. You didn't tell her at the beginning. If she's not angry, it can only mean that …"
Natasha interrupted Lucien and smiled happily, "It's because of your kindness, gentleness, and thoughtfulness that I like Sylvia. She was really touched last night, and I didn't break the promise. Lucien, you look like a love expert, but you haven't even held a girl's hand except for dancing. "
"…" Lucien said, "Don't always mention this kind of thing."
"Alright, my historian, are you coming to the party tonight?" Natasha smiled and asked seriously, "Are you coming to the party tonight?"
Lucien didn't refuse. After all, the party was in Gesu District, which was very close to his home, and it wouldn't affect his study at night.
… …
At seven o 'clock in the evening, in a light yellow two-story villa in Gesu District, No. 78.
The architectural style of the villa was bright and soft, and there were several kinds of flowers in the garden that were not afraid of the cold.
"Welcome, Lucien." Sylvia and her father opened the door of the villa.
She was wearing an elegant and dignified white dress, and her silky hair was draped over her shoulders. She exuded a gentle and pure aura. She was definitely the dream lover of most men.
Her father was wearing a black suit, and his thick black beard made him look a bit old and gloomy. However, it was obvious that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
Lucien handed the small gift to Sylvia, "Happy birthday, Sylvia. Good evening, Mr. Drogny. " At the same time, he was a bit confused about why Sylvia's father, De Niro, gave him a strange feeling.
"Good evening, Lucien. Although we both live in Gesu District, it's the first time for me to meet you. You're even younger than I thought. Haha, the first movement of your Serenade in G major has often been heard at the banquets for the past two months. Everyone is very happy, and they are all wondering when you will finish the next few movements. "De Niro smiled politely and implicitly as a greeting.
Led by Sylvia, Lucien walked to the sofa in the living room, where Natasha and Camille were already sitting. "Actually, I've finished it. It's a string quartet."
"Then I hope to hear it at the party, and then you can play For Sylvia during the break, and then I can …" Natasha smiled and winked at Lucien. There was no New Year's concert in the Duchy, but there was the Aalto Music Festival.
Lucien knew what she meant. Natasha wanted to find an excuse to give him a manor, but in fact, Lucien preferred something like the sword Vigilance. "For Sylvia should be a private work, and there's no need to play it at the party."
"But it's your work, Lucien. You'd better find an opportunity to publish it. The New Year's Ball is a good place. It was Sylvia who spoke. Her voice was a bit low, but it made her voice even more hoarse and sexy. "Also, the name For Sylvia is not appropriate. People will think that you're pursuing me."
Natasha smiled and stopped him, "Why not? Most of the unmarried musicians in the association are pursuing you, and a lot of married ones are as well. But after Phyllis's birthday party, those annoying guys completely disappeared. Okay, Lucien, we were discussing the poems and legends of the Duchy. You're an 'expert' in this field, so I hope you can give us some 'guidance.' "
"Expert?" Deroni looked at Lucien, who was sitting on the sofa.
At this time, Lucien had already sat down on an armchair. He shook his head and said with a smile, "I've been reading a lot of books in this field for the sake of composing. Her Royal Highness has always been humorous. "
"How can that be? Even Mr. Beck thinks that Lucien has the potential to be a historian. No, you're already a historian." Natasha was in a good mood. She said half-jokingly, "Uncle Drogny is a successful businessman. He's the director of the Aalto Metal Jewelry Guild. He travels all over the Duchy all year round, so he knows a lot of poems and legends. You must have a common topic in this field. You can have a good chat."
Under her lead, the four of them happily talked about this topic before dinner. Camille also said a few words occasionally. It seemed that when she was young, she had traveled all over the Duchy as an adventurer and mercenary.
Gradually, it was almost time for dinner. Drogny smiled thoughtfully and said, "I thought Her Royal Highness was joking, but after the conversation just now, I found that Lucien, you're really a historian. You can accurately determine the era and background of poems and legends. I happen to know a folk poem that is rarely circulated. I've always been curious about when the things described in it happened and where in the Duchy. "
"Uncle Drogny, tell me about it. I'll judge it too." Natasha felt that she had read a lot of history books and documents, so she looked at Lucien with a little competitiveness.
It was just a normal conversation. Lucien replied casually, "I'll try."
Drogny seemed to be recalling. After a while, he slowly recited:
"When the sun entered Thanos' palace,
A huge fireball fell from the sky,
The earth shook violently,
The towering city and magnificent tower turned into ruins in an instant.
…
The sky and earth were turbid,
The green was covered by the dim yellow,
The darkness seemed to hide the demons of the abyss.
…
Quick, look, the bright red water drowned the lips.
… "
After he finished reciting, Drogny said with a little anticipation, "It's just a folk poem. It's not beautiful, but I'm very interested in the things it describes. Her Royal Highness, Lucien, can you tell what era and place it belongs to?"
Natasha frowned slightly, "Thanos' palace should be referring to a certain place where the sun moved."
However, in the historical documents, Thanos also referred to a certain chief consul of the Magic Empire who was known as the "Sun King." (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
