Lucien chose his words carefully, "I don't know anything about astrology, so I can only infer it by comparing poems and documents that describe similar events. Of course, it could also be a prophetic poem. If so, every word is just an abstract reference."
In fact, Lucien was best at astrology at the moment. There was indeed a constellation named "Thanos" in the ecliptic where the sun moved, and it was named in honor of the Sun King.
"It's definitely not a prophetic poem. It's just a folk poem around Aalto," said Drogny.
Lucien slowly organized his words, "Because of the civil war and division of the magic empire, and the Church leading the heroes to the west, in the past hundreds of years, there have been many wars like falling meteorites, shaking the earth, collapsing mountains, and destroying cities. We can find at least hundreds of similar descriptions in books like 'Folk Poems of the Dark Age', 'The Battle of Syracuse', 'The Holy City', 'The Confessions', and 'Chronicles of the Sacred Continent'."
"The battle between two legendary masters can cause similar effects. Although it's rare to see such a scene in the past two or three hundred years, in the 'War of Dawn', such battles were not uncommon." Natasha nodded in agreement with Lucien.
"That's why I've always been curious about which battle it's describing." Drogny's gloomy face showed a hint of disappointment.
Lucien smiled, "But it's rare to see a description like 'red water up to the lips'. In Her Royal Highness' study, there's only a remote historical document called 'Manuscripts of Marius', which records the changes of the terrain in the northwest of Aalto."
"One hundred and fifteen years before the Saint Calendar, whether it was man-made or a natural disaster, the area around Aalto was plunged into darkness. A huge meteorite fell from the sky and completely destroyed the mountains and the magic city of Elsinore in the northwest. After that, the earth cracked, and a strange red liquid gushed out from the ground and flooded the area. Because the blood-like liquid disappeared so quickly, there are very few documents and poems about it. "
Drogny looked a little serious. "Lucien, what you mean is that the poem describes the birth of Lake Elsinore in the northwest of Aalto? Then how do you explain the sun entering the palace of Thanos?"
"It's said that when 'Sun King' Thanos reached the peak of the legendary level, the capital of the Magic Empire was plunged into darkness for three whole days. It's very appropriate to describe the darkness of the sky back then." Natasha added a reason for Lucien. "And the style of this poem is similar to that era."
Drogny nodded. "It seems that this poem was created by the survivors of Elsinore. Her Royal Highness, Lucien, what else can you tell from the poem?"
Lucien and Natasha shook their heads at the same time. The rest was the normal description of the scene.
"Oh." Drogny looked a little disappointed, but he immediately smiled. "I'm very happy to know the era and background of this poem. Thank you, Her Royal Highness. Thank you, Lucien. Haha, you're a 'real' historian. I've asked Mr. Beck before, but he didn't know. "
Lucien replied modestly, "I just happened to see this manuscript, and I'm not completely sure."
Sylvia smiled gently and stood up. "Anyway, thank you for satisfying my father's curiosity. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Dinner is ready. Let's enjoy the delicious food. "
"Enjoy it, Lucien. One of Silvia's family's chefs is from Tria. His Syracuse dishes are very special, and they're very delicious. Compared to the food in Tria, Aalto's food is too monotonous and boring. It's always stewed beef with potatoes, fried steak, sausages, fat goose and roast chicken … "Natasha expressed her strong dissatisfaction with Aalto's food. It seemed that she was also a person who liked food.
Lucien was tempted by her words. "Then I'll definitely enjoy it."
For a long time, Lucien had been a "foodie", but he didn't have the conditions to satisfy it.
Even now, the cooks in the garden villa were just so-so. The dishes were so repetitive that Lucien was almost numb.
Natasha complained even more excitedly, "In fact, the food in Aalto is not bad. If it were in Holm or Renstadt, the food would be grilled fish, steak, fries and salad every day. It's the worst food on the continent. I went there once when I was little, and I never want to go there again."
Holm? Renstadt? The country on the other side of the Storm Strait that was barely recorded in historical documents? Lucien thought to himself.
The dinner in Sylvia's house was indeed delicious. Delicate porcelain tableware was placed on the white napkin, and three glasses were used to hold water, red wine and Rice wine respectively. The first dish was fried foie gras, the second dish was Tria fish soup, and the main dish was roast lamb leg and braised tripe. After that, there was a vegetable salad and a Syracuse pudding cake.
Lucien's appetite was greatly improved after he became a Knight. Therefore, he ate three servings of the main dishes.
Fortunately, Sylvia learned about Lucien's situation from Natasha, and the food she prepared for him was much more than what Natasha and Camille could eat.
Drogny was not surprised at all.
… …
Lucien, Natasha, and Camil were walking on the street of Gesu in the cold wind of the Moon of Ice.
Sylvia was going to walk them for a while, but Natasha persuaded her to go back. She was too weak to walk in such weather.
"If we were in the North Fortress, it would have been snowing." Natasha said to Lucien with a sad look on her face, as she stretched out her hand and felt the cold wind.
Lucien looked up at the Silver Moon, "I've never seen snow in Aalto."
It was the statement of a "historian".
"Lucien, how's your sonata coming along?" Natasha asked in a soft voice, "How's your sonata coming along? Can you finish it before April 3rd? If you can, I'm going to recommend you to hold a concert in the Psalm Hall during the Aalto Music Festival. "
The Aalto Music Festival was held from April 3rd to April 5th every three years. Musicians from all over the world would come, including the Moon Elves and the Golden Dwarves who had converted to the God of Truth. It was a grand music festival for the whole continent, and there would be a concert every day in the Psalm Hall.
During this time, only the most famous and authoritative musicians could hold a concert in the Psalm Hall.
"I should be able to finish it." Lucien thought for a while and answered seriously. If he could hold a concert in such a festival, he would be able to meet Mr. Rhein's requirement.
A smile appeared on Natasha's face, and her melancholy melted away. "I believe you, and I'll advise President Christopher. In order to let you focus on your work and make sure it's the first performance in the Psalm Hall, you don't have to play the Serenade during the New Year's Ball. Novelty always brings great shock. "
"By then, I'll play For Sylvia as well, so your piano performance will remain mysterious." After all, Lucien had only played it once in Phyllis's party.
"I won't let you down, Her Royal Highness." Lucien looked at the front in confusion. Would he have to leave after the festival?
After making up her mind, Natasha suddenly sighed, "After I played For Sylvia last night, I didn't think of any romantic words. I just praised Sylvia's beauty. Lucien, think about it. After a beautiful piano piece, in the beautiful melody, a gentleman stands up from the piano, walks to a beautiful lady, and slowly holds her right hand. What a beautiful scene it is. At this moment, if you say one or two romantic words, it will definitely move her and make her remember it forever. "
"I don't have experience," Lucien replied expressionlessly. Why did the topic change again?
Natasha didn't stop. Instead, she continued to ask, "Lucien, help me think. What's the most romantic and touching thing to say at this moment?"
Lucien turned around and looked at her seriously. "At this moment, there's only one most romantic thing to say."
"What's that?" Natasha was very curious.
"Marry me." Lucien looked at Natasha with a smile.
Natasha: "… That's a problem, but I'll try my best to solve it. Lucien, you also have to strive to find someone to work hard for. Hey, do you need me to explain it to you? "
In the relaxed interaction, the distance between Sylvia's house and Lucien's villa was quickly covered.
…
The first Sunday of the Month of Beginning (January).
On the third page of Music Criticism, there was a comment:
"A piano piece worth a manor."
"In the noisy and lively New Year's Ball, I was fortunate to hear a pure and beautiful piano piece. Its melody was simple, but it was beautiful and pleasant to the ears. It didn't have too many techniques, but it flowed through everyone's heart like a clear spring. Set off by the gorgeous music before and after, its pure and beautiful feeling was memorable …"
"This is a new composition composed by our Aalto's musical genius, Lucien Evans. The title is' For Sylvia, 'but in my opinion, it's more like' For Natasha, 'dedicated to our respected Her Royal Highness. Therefore, it was extremely loved by Her Royal Highness. She actually gave Evans a manor in the suburbs!"
"This might be the most valuable piano piece in the history of music. Many musicians can't even own a manor in their lifetime."
"Of course, I'm not jealous of Mr. Lucien Evans's' fortuitous encounter, 'because this piece of music brought back beautiful memories of the past, and because his talent is admirable."
As the reward of a manor was too amazing, Music Criticism and most of the other related newspapers published reports. Lucien once again enjoyed the bathing of all kinds of gazes.
However, what made Lucien feel helpless was that, at some point, more and more people in the association began to teasingly call him "Historian."
Furthermore, they really asked Lucien questions about history and poetry that they encountered during their composition and received satisfactory answers from the "friendly and gentle" genius musician Lucien. Therefore, "Historian" became a nickname that Lucien could not get rid of. It even spread in Aalto. (To be continued. If you like this piece of music, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com.
