— — It's the last day of the double. If I don't vote, it'll be a waste.
…
A cool breeze blew through the living room. Lilith and Sala couldn't help but shiver. Maybe it was because of the dark sky, the quiet environment of the manor, and the calm temperament of the young man in front of them, they always felt that this place was gloomy and gloomy, just like the dark and horrible magic towers and the mysterious and gloomy official sorcerers in the Dark Mountain Range or the depths of the Dark Forest.
However, Lilith and Sala soon came back to themselves and laughed at themselves, "A talented music genius, a musician who composed pure and beautiful piano pieces, and an official music consultant of Her Royal Highness, how can he be a sorcerer who hides from place to place and lives a low-key life? We're just imagining things! "
At this time, López, the butler, came in with several servants holding copper candlesticks. The swaying candles immediately lit up the living room.
Lucien walked down the stairs and calmly smiled at Sala and Lilith politely, "My two guests, are you here because you want me to interpret a historical document?"
His warm and peaceful voice came into Lilith's ears, and she completely got rid of the illusion just now. Her cheeks flushed, and she stuttered, "Evans, Mr. Evans, I really, really like your music, whether it's Fate or Serenade in G major, and my favorite is For Sylvia. That simple and beautiful melody deeply touched my heart. I'm very, very happy to see you here."
Her words were in a mess, but she still managed to express herself. Her eyes were full of admiration and admiration. Mr. Evans was more elegant than she thought, and he was also handsome.
"Mr. Evans, I also like your music." Sala was not as excited as her sister, but she also couldn't help but express her love. In the oppressive magic life, he hummed the melody of Fate again and again. He thanked Lucien Evans for writing such inspiring music, and thanked the fat baron for inviting a band to perform in the town.
Lucien smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your love, but I think we should still talk about the manuscript."
As a sorcerer who believed that "knowledge equals power", Lucien was also very interested in historical documents. Maybe there was knowledge or information that he needed in the manuscript. That was why he received Sala and Lilith. After all, with the upcoming Aalto Music Festival, there were many visitors every day, and Lucien had been busy preparing for the concert.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Evans. We lost our composure." Sala calmed down and took out a stack of old paper from her pocket and handed it to Lucien, "This is the manuscript. Please read it."
Lucien took over the manuscript and said, "It's alright. I understand your sincere love and I'm honored. Sit down. Let's discuss it together. "
Lilith blushed and followed Sala to sit down. She secretly looked at Lucien, who was reading the manuscript attentively on the armchair diagonally opposite them. She liked the handsome face and the unique temperament very much. She thought to herself shyly, "Mr. Evans is even more charming when he is focused."
Lucien, who was used to reading quickly so that the Library of the Soul could record it first, was no exception this time. However, when he went through the manuscript, he suddenly saw a familiar sentence:
"When the sun entered the palace of Thanos …"
Lucien's face became slightly solemn, "Why did I see the same sentence again after only a few months? What's the relationship between Mr. Drogny's poem and this manuscript? "
With such doubts, after the Library of the Soul finished recording, Lucien read very carefully. It took him half an hour to read the manuscript, which was less than ten pages long. The more he read, the more frightened he was. Because compared with some of the obscure documents that he had read, this incomplete manuscript seemed to be talking about a magic relic!
Lucien slowly added the background and historical events and interpreted more than half of the manuscript. He appeared to be focused and solemn, but in his heart, great waves were raised:
"The words' floating mountains' and 'Grand Cross' in the manuscript … I've read these words in the Book of Astrology and Elements!"
Therefore, Lucien turned the Book of Astrology and Elements to the corresponding section of the unique magic circle. After careful comparison, he finally confirmed that the scene described in a section of the manuscript was the 'Grand Cross', a magic maze mainly based on Astrology.
A 'maze' was a powerful magic enchantment that covered a wide range and could operate automatically for a long time.
"Drogny's poem described the scene when Lake Elsinore appeared, and this manuscript seems to be the same. There are more specific descriptions of the meteorite destroying the city and the strange red liquid gushing out, and there are also subsequent descriptions of the magnificent underground building and the magic maze. But this manuscript is too incomplete. There is no relevant information about why the underground building was built and why the maze was set up.
"The witch's ancestor was a sorcerer from Aalto. Although there is no record, I can guess that her teacher, the legendary sorcerer with the title of 'Prophet', should be the lord of the nearby country. Since the underground building is in his territory, and the maze is the same as the content in his book, it is very likely that he was responsible for the construction of the underground building. It's a pity that the Book of Astrology and Elements is a magic book, and there are no notes in it. "
Countless thoughts flashed in his mind. Lucien raised his head and said calmly, "This manuscript is very incomplete. Is there any other part? The more information there is, the easier it is to interpret. And judging from the feel of the paper, it's not like the papyrus or parchment of the Dark Age. "
"The manuscript is not the original manuscript. That's all we have." Although she was facing the musician Lucien Evans, who she liked and admired very much, Lilith still answered cautiously, and Sala also nodded.
After comparing the poem and the manuscript with the layout of the magic maze in the Book of Astrology and Elements, Lucien found that he could basically determine the location of the maze based on the terrain and the stars, because all the mazes relied on similar things to work, but the structure of each maze was different, so it was very difficult for people who did not know the maze to figure it out by themselves.
"Then I'll tell you the parts that I can interpret." When Lucien told them about Elsinore Lake, Sala and Lilith's eyes lit up, and they looked more and more excited.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Evans. Your interpretation is so useful to us!" Lilith exclaimed in delight. "Thank you so much, Mr. Evans. Your interpretation is so helpful to us!"
"Ahem." Sala was very happy at first, but then she quickly coughed to stop her sister's excitement, "Thank you very much, Mr. Evans, for your interpretation. How much do you want us to pay?"
"One Quintal," said Lucien with a gentle smile. Knowledge could not be sold cheaply, especially since he was going to leave Aalto after the music festival, so he had better have more money with him.
After working as Natasha's music consultant for six months, Lucien now had thirty Quintal in total, which was a fortune that many commoners could only save in their whole lives.
However, Lucien could not sell this manor, which was worth thousands of Quintal, which made him feel a bit sad.
"Your knowledge is far more valuable than Quintal," said Sala as she took out her purse and gave Lucien one Quintal. Lucien did not hesitate, nor did he feel sad. Even though he could only earn five to twenty Nars a month from the scholar, the value of this document was still much more than a Quintal.
Lucien smiled and pointed at the darkness outside, "The gate is closed. If you don't mind, why don't you stay in my manor for the night? My chef is not as good as the royal chef, but his steak was praised by Her Royal Highness. "
"Really? Thank you, Mr. Evans. You're such a kind person. " Lilith found that the object of her admiration was more and more in line with her expectations, and she liked him even more.
After asking López to take Sala and Lilith to the guest room, Lucien stood quietly in the living room and watched them leave. Under the dim candlelight, Lucien's shadow twisted like a ghost.
"It's too much of a coincidence. I just heard the poem from Mr. Drogny, and a few months later, someone came to me and asked to decipher the document."
"Is it because the night watchers couldn't find Professor after observing me for a long time, so they decided to test me with the relics?"
"Or is it because of something else?"
Lucien had a lot of doubts and guesses, but at the same time, he was also very impulsive and greedy.
"My spiritual power has grown to an extreme level. In two weeks at most, I'll be able to become a senior-rank apprentice. By then, with my knowledge and the analysis of several first-circle spells, I'll be able to become a real sorcerer as long as I have the potions and the materials."
"According to the layout of the Grand Cross, there should be a magic garden providing energy in the less dangerous secret places outside the magic lock. There should be a lot of plants and materials in there."
"When the sun enters the palace of Thanos, it's also the best time to enter the magic lock. Every year, on April 10th, the sun moves to the constellation of Thanos on the ecliptic. However, according to the Book of Astrology and Elements, when the Silver Moon is hanging in the middle of the sky, I can enter the magic lock in advance! Because at that time, the sun hasn't actually disappeared, but people on the ground can't see it anymore. "
This was a unique magic lock. Without the Book of Astrology and Elements, as well as the other magic books and notes of the legendary sorcerer, it would take Lucien a long time to understand and crack the magic lock.
Lucien's mind was filled with the conflict between caution and greed. In the end, he made a decision, "Anyway, I'm going to leave Aalto and go to the Headquarters of the Magic Council. There's no need for me to take risks now. I'll explore the relics later when I have more detailed information and enough power."
Lucien had to be more careful now!
…
After a sleepless night in the creepy manor of Brons, Lilith reluctantly said goodbye to Lucien and returned to Aalto. They still had time, so they decided to go to Bonn, the small town next to Lake Elsinore, after the music festival in Aalto was over.
Lucien was also preparing to go back to Aalto Music Association to practice with the band. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
