Wise smiled at Betty, "Thanks to your protection, Mr. Mars and I were not hurt at all when we were in Baron Habearo's castle. Even if you didn't ask me, I would still invite you to my concert. " Then he looked at Lucien and asked, "Mr. Evans, what are you going to do at the concert? Is there anything I can do for you? Also, would you like to accept my invitation? "
Since Lucien had been insisting that he did not have a noble title, they continued to call him Mr. Lucien instead of Lord or Lord.
"Yes, Mr. Evans, if you need any help at the concert, I'm sure I can help you," Mars said with a grateful look on his face, as if he had just survived a great disaster.
Every time he thought about the evil and rotten undead creatures around him, he couldn't help but have nightmares. If he wasn't just an ordinary music consultant of Baron Habearo, he would have been covered with pus and rot a long time ago.
Betty, Simon, and Joanna also looked at Lucien in confusion. Why did Mr. Evans want to go to the Musicians' Associations? Was he also a music lover? However, Lucien had only listened to Wise's music conversations on the way. Maybe he had friends in the Musicians' Associations in Korsor.
Lucien shook his head, "Thank you, Mr. Wise, but I'm afraid I won't be able to attend your concert. As for me, it's just a small thing. I want to use the Musicians' Associations in Korsor to send a letter to my friends. Mr. Mars, as you know, other than the Church, the Musicians' Association is the one that communicates the most frequently between countries. Music Criticism and Symphony News can be found in every city on the continent. "The only difference was that they were lagging behind by a few issues.
Although there were messengers in this world, there was no universal postal system, especially between different countries. Ordinary people could only rely on passing caravans and travelers to send letters to distant places. Of course, ordinary people didn't have many relatives or friends living far away.
Old Mr. Mars gently nodded and smiled, "Mr. Evans, you are a Knight. If you really want to make a request, the association can't refuse. However, they also won't let the eagle 'Hasmir' deliver the letter for you. They will also charge you a high fee. Although I'm a bit old, I still have some status in the Musicians' Association in Korsor. Let me help you, Mr. Evans. I'll make sure that your letter will reach my friend as soon as possible. "
"Hasmir eagle?" Lucien knew that apart from the common animals, most of them were magical creatures. He had never heard of this breed of eagle before.
Wise smiled warmly and said, "This is a specialty of the Djibouti Duchy. It's a huge and extremely fast eagle. After being tamed, they also had the ability to identify directions and routes. It only took them ten days to travel between Korsor and Aalto. Therefore, the Musicians' Association in the Djibouti Duchy can read the latest issues of Music Criticism and Symphony News from the 5th to the 7th of every month. "
"Today is the 2nd of July. It seems that we still have to wait for a few days before we can read the latest issues of these two newspapers." "My friends are in Aalto right now. Please, Mr. Mars, tell them that they will receive my letter in a few days," said Lucien with a bit of regret. "My friends are in Aalto right now. Please, Mr. Mars, do me a favor and ask them to receive my letter in a few days."
The wrinkles on Mars' old-fashioned face relaxed a bit, "I feel much better now that I can help you, Mr. Evans. Actually, even without me, Mr. Wise would have been able to help you with that, given how highly the association values him.
"You flatter me, Mr. Mars. I'm just a newcomer to the music industry." Wise replied modestly.
Mars nodded slightly, turned around, and led the way to the Musicians' Association in Korsor.
Lucien handed the last day's salary to them, "Thank you so much for your help. I hope that you can start your formal Knight training as soon as possible. Maybe we'll meet again in the future. "
"Thank you, Mr. Evans. But I don't think it's time to say goodbye yet, because I plan to follow you to the Musicians' Association and use Mr. Wise and Mr. Mars' identities to sneak in. I've always wanted to visit the Musicians' Association! "Betty said first, and then winked at her sister and brother-in-law playfully.
"On behalf of myself, I'd like to welcome Miss Betty to visit the Musicians' Association in Korsor." Wise smiled and said, "Mr. Simon, Ms. Joanna, are you coming with us?"
Joanna gave Betty a stare, but she also said curiously, "Then we'll go with you."
… …
Although Korsor was a big city in the south-central part of the continent, it was still less than one-fifth the size of Aalto. Soon, Lucien and the others saw the quaint, iron-gray, four-story building of the Musicians' Association.
The security here was even stricter than that of the Musicians' Association in Aalto. Standing in front of the iron fence, no one was allowed to enter until they saw Mars, a famous musician. After that, Mars sent them to report to the director who was in charge of the daily affairs of the association, because Mr. Wise had arrived.
There were all kinds of beautiful crystal ornaments, huge oil paintings of different musicians, soft and silent dark red carpet, and a soft and bright spacious space. Together, they formed the hall of the Musicians' Association in Korsor.
When Betty, Joanna, and the others were looking around curiously, a middle-aged man in a black suit with a kind smile came to greet them with a lot of people.
"Hello, Mr. Wise. Welcome and thank you for coming to Korsor for your concert. I'm Casper, the director of this association, and these are the musicians and musicians who are staying in the association. " Casper shook Wise's hands very warmly. Wise was a famous genius musician in the capital of the Duchy, and there was no one in Korsor who could be called a real musician.
Wise smiled lightly, "Mr. Casper, you've made me feel the enthusiasm and sincerity of Korsor …"
The ordinary musicians and musicians behind Casper also came up and welcomed Wise with enthusiasm. They even directly talked about music in the hall, and pushed Lucien, Mars, and Betty out of the hall.
"It's so grand!" Seeing the grand welcome of the Musicians' Association to Wise, Betty didn't mind at all. Instead, she exclaimed with her eyes shining, "And the melody they're talking about sounds so good!"
Joanna said to her husband, Simon, "When you awaken your Blessing and become a Knight, we'll go back to our hometown. I'm sure we'll receive the same grand welcome."
Everyone liked the feeling of being respected and liked, and Simon was no exception. He nodded heavily, "I'll follow Mr. Evans's advice and start my knight training as soon as possible."
Lucien looked at the lively scene and smiled at Mars, "Mr. Mars, I'm going to the counter to write a letter. Can you help me?"
"I'll go with you and talk to Christy," said Mars. He pointed at the black-haired girl, who was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was standing on tiptoe and craning her neck, trying to see Wise, who was surrounded by the crowd.
"Chris." When the two of them walked to the counter and saw that the girl didn't turn her head to greet them, Mars called out to her.
Christy didn't turn around, but waved her hand, "Let's talk later."
Mars shook his head and coughed heavily. Then he slightly raised his voice, "Christy."
"What? Mr. Mars? Hello, is there anything you need me to do? "Chris was startled and hurriedly stood up straight as she anxiously asked.
Mars was in a good mood, so he didn't blame the girl for her impoliteness. He pointed at Lucien, "Give Mr. Evans some paper, a pen, and an envelope. When he's done, ask the eagle messenger to send it to the Aalto Musicians' Association as soon as possible. "
"It eats a lot of meat, and it costs a lot of money to fly." Christy took out the pen and paper and handed them to Lucien.
Mars put on a serious face, "I'll take care of it."
Christy stuck out her tongue and didn't say anything. Then she took out a stack of newspapers, "Mr. Mars, these are the latest issues of Music Criticism and Symphony News. Do you want to buy them?"
"The latest issues?" Lucien, who was opening the envelope, looked up and asked in confusion.
Christy nodded, "Yes, this issue was published in advance. It just arrived in Korsor yesterday."
"Published in advance? Can I have a copy? "Lucien took out a Quintal.
On the other side, Wise also heard the conversation between the three of them. He walked over with the crowd, "Beautiful lady, can I have a copy? I'll also pay for Mr. Evans and Mr. Mars. " Although Betty and Joanna's family did not know how to read, after hearing the pronunciation of the two most famous music newspapers, Music Review and Symphony News, they also came over out of curiosity.
"Okay, Mr. Wise." Christy blushed and handed the newspaper to Wise, then to Mars, and finally to Lucien.
Wise opened the newspaper and was very surprised, "Mr. Lucien Evans wrote another piano sonata?!"
"Yes. I saw it yesterday. It was a beautiful first movement. "Caspar said with an exaggerated expression, while Betty became very excited.
Wise nodded slightly and hummed a melody softly. It was sad and sweet, gentle and melodious.
Lucien heard their conversation and was very confused. Since when did he write a new piano sonata?
However, as soon as he heard the familiar melody, Lucien immediately guessed who was the one who made it.
Lucien opened the newspaper and saw the familiar music score and comments on the second page of Music Criticism.
"This is a piano sonata composed by the famous musician, Mr. Lucien Evans, during his travels. Although it's only the first movement, we can still feel the beautiful melody, the tranquil music atmosphere, and the innovation of the piano sonata genre, which breaks the familiar fast-slow-fast arrangement that we're all familiar with …"
"Every time I hear the first movement, it always reminds me of the sparkling lake under the moonlight. It is so beautiful, so tranquil, so dreamy."
…
"Natasha Orvarit."
"It's her … But why did she suddenly want to help me publish the first movement of Moonlight?" Lucien frowned and was very confused.
"What a beautiful melody!" After listening to Wise's humming part, Betty could not help but exclaim, "So there's a new piece of music by Mr. Evans. No wonder it was published in advance."
"Published in advance …" Lucien thought of something and hurriedly turned to the first page. The date was written in red, one size larger than usual: June 26th, 816.
Lucien was amused. Was this guy trying to say "Happy Coming-Of-Age Ceremony"? (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.)
