Lucien was very happy to hear the news about his music teacher, Victor. With a pleasant smile, he asked, "Which pieces did Mr. Victor play?" Being invited to the Psalm Hall of the Aalto Music Festival meant that Victor's works had been highly recognized.
Grimm, who was showing off his knowledge to the other guests at the table, also became excited when he saw that Lucien was so interested. He began to talk, "There are four pieces in total, and each of them is a masterpiece. My personal favorite is the Symphony No. 8 in C minor, whose theme is' Love '. The original theme music has been innovated and turned into an autobiographical work. Different movements express the sweetness, warmth, sadness, pain, and always warm nostalgia of love. Everyone who listens to it will recall their own beautiful, sweet, and bitter love stories that will never be forgotten. "
"After the performance of this work, the whole Psalm Hall and the Municipal Square were silent for a long time. Although the applause was not warm, it was full of gentleness and tranquility. It seemed that everyone's heart had become tranquil in love." Grimm seemed to have also thought of the girl that he loved when he was young. With a gentle smile on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Mr. Victor composed this work in memory of his wife, Winnie. It took him more than ten years to compose this beautiful piece of music. It's a work of art that should not be missed. In my heart, it's as great as Fate, War of Dawn, Pathos, and Moonlight."
A beautiful symphony and a touching love story. This was a combination that most ladies could not resist. The only lady at the table took out a white handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes. She said with longing and regret, "Because Master Christoph and Mr. Lucien Evans are not here, we didn't go to Aalto. It's a pity that we missed such a beautiful piece of music. What a pity … We can only buy Music Criticism and Symphony News and invite the band to play it."
Lucien also felt peaceful. He knew how much Mr. Victor loved his wife. To be able to compose this piece of music that he had always wanted to compose and receive such high praise was definitely the greatest comfort in his life.
Lucien, whose voice had become gentle, continued to ask, "In addition to the famous musicians, are there any new and outstanding musicians in the Aalto Music Festival?"
It's been three years. I wonder how Elena, Phyllis, Piero, Grace, Lott, and Herodotus are doing. Are they still on the road of music? What have they achieved? Are they still on the road of music? What have they achieved? Are they still on the road of music?
"In addition to the famous musicians, the most impressive one is a new female musician. Her name is Louise. Not only did she compose two piano sonatas and four piano pieces, but she also seems to be a Knight. She has a beautiful white wolf, which is very eye-catching." Grimm paused. As a man, he naturally paid attention to beautiful ladies first.
"I haven't heard of her, but Aalto is the capital of music. It's normal for a new and outstanding musician to appear." Lucien thought as he took a sip of the lemonade. "Is there anyone else?"
"There are many more. The Aalto Music Festival can always uncover a lot of buried or unfamous newcomers." Grimm began to boast about what he had seen in Aalto this time. He listed the musicians, pianists, and musicians he thought were good.
When Lucien was about to lose his patience, Grimm finally mentioned someone he was familiar with. "Mr. Victor's female student, who is also Mr. Lucien Evans' classmate, Phyllis, held her first solo concert in this music festival. She combined the different scenery and different music she saw in her travels into a symphony, a piano sonata, and several piano pieces. She also showed off her skills by performing Mr. Evans's" Moonlight "and the piano arrangement."
"Although her music is still far from being outstanding, she has a certain level of standard. As a member of the Hayne family and a good friend of Her Highness Princess Natasha, it's not difficult for her to be praised in Aalto's music circle. "
Lucien nodded slightly. For a noble girl like Phyllis, the most important thing for her first concert was not to fail. She must have worked very hard in the past few years to achieve her current performance.
The joy from his friend's success kept Lucien's appetite. Grimm sighed slightly, "Every time you mention 'Moonlight', it reminds me of one regrettable thing. Mr. Evans has never played this sad and sweet piece of music before. I wonder how this piece of music, which is regarded as the most beautiful piece of piano, would sound when played by this great musician. Although his student, Ms. Grace, played this piece of music very well and received a lot of praise, people are more curious about Mr. Evans' performance … "
The lady nodded in agreement, "Mr. Evans has created a new style of piano playing, and laid the foundation for the current piano fingering. He is definitely one of the best pianists. Moonlight was composed by him, and I don't think anyone can fully understand the feelings contained in it. By the way, I think someone must have heard Mr. Evans play 'Moonlight' before. "
Hearing the lady's praise, Lucien was a bit embarrassed. It sounded like Grace had indeed come to Aalto, and her piano playing skills had improved a lot.
When Glinton and the other two men heard the last sentence, they chuckled and said, "Of course, Your Highness must have heard of it. It is said that Mr. Evans had already written the first movement before he left, and played it in front of Her Royal Highness' in private '. "
Their laughter was full of male ambiguity.
Lucien was a bit embarrassed. He cut a small piece of steak and chewed it. Then he pretended to ask casually, "Mr. Evans has been traveling for three years. When will he come back?"
"Probably in the next one or two years. Except for Her Royal Highness, no one knows where he is now. But at least Mr. Evans has not stopped composing music. 'Moonlight' is a classic, and 'The Tempest' is also an excellent work. " Grimm praised sincerely. "I wonder what kind of work he will bring to us when he comes back."
For a musician, it was normal to have one more work per year, especially when they were traveling.
And no music critic or music lover would ask a musician to make each work better than the last, as long as it was above the standard. After all, music relied more on the burst of inspiration and the accumulation of life experience.
Seeing the other guests nodding in agreement, Lucien thought thoughtfully, Whether the Church has noticed that a genius musician is an evil sorcerer or not, at least they did not tell the ordinary people …
After that, they chatted for a long time, but Lucien did not hear anything about Elena. But it was normal. After all, she had only been learning music for three years. She was not as good as Phyllis, Grace, and other people who had been learning music since they were young. At most, she was a good musician.
And John and Uncle Chorre had nothing to do with the music festival, so Lucien did not dare to ask about them rashly.
…
The next day, the orange light slowly appeared on the horizon.
At this time, Lucien used his spiritual power to draw the last curve in his soul and completely constructed a complicated spell model.
The invisible light enveloped the spell model and it almost disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already orbiting around the Star of Destiny like other spells.
This was Professor's Infrasound Resonance, which could stun, injure, or even kill the enemy with Infrasound Resonance. Its specialty was that it was extremely penetrative and could penetrate most of the energy and elemental defense layers. However, it could not do anything to the magic nullification type and the anti-magic force field type defensive spells.
If the energy of the infrasound wave was enough, Lucien was confident that it could affect senior-rank sorcerers. However, as a fourth-circle sorcerer, Lucien did not have enough energy to do so.
"Finally, it's done." Lucien looked inside his soul and saw the thirty-six first-circle spells, twenty-eight second-circle spells, twenty third-circle spells, and five fourth-circle spells.
Before, Professor's Infrasound Resonance had failed twice. It was not until Lucien's third attempt that he succeeded, because the complexity of this spell was close to the fifth circle. If it were not for the fact that Lucien was much better than other fourth-circle sorcerers in arcana, there was no way that he could complete it so quickly.
After resting for half an hour, Lucien heard someone knocking on the door.
"Leo, please come in." Lucien sensed that it was Leo.
Leo opened the door and said respectfully, "My lord, it's time for breakfast. Then we'll leave for Aalto."
"Okay." Lucien stood up and tidied up his clothes. Looking at the bright sky outside, he took a deep breath of the fresh air.
Since the Dark Mountain Range was very dangerous, Lucien had been trying his best to construct spells since he became a fourth-circle sorcerer. That was why he was able to analyze and construct five fourth-circle spells during the two-month journey. Except for Professor's Infrasound Resonance, the other four spells were Douglas' Absorbing Wall, Douglas' Giant Palm, Arcana Light, and Arcana Eye.
…
After breakfast, Lucien got on the coach and headed for Aalto.
On the way, Lucien had mixed feelings when he saw the familiar scenery. He missed Aalto, but at the same time, he was a bit scared.
"I can't get in touch with Uncle Chorre, Aunt Alisa, and John right now. I have to find Natasha first."
In Aalto, Lucien could only reveal his identity as a sorcerer to Natasha. However, soon, Lucien frowned, because he did not know how to get in touch with Natasha.
Natasha was the heir of the Duchy of Orvarit, Her Royal Highness. Even though she had become a Knight, she still had a lot of servants, Knights, and guards following her everywhere. The places she visited were either heavily guarded places such as the Ratacia Palace, her own manor, or the elegant halls such as the Musicians' associations. It was very difficult for Lucien to "bump into" Natasha as an ordinary person.
Besides, after Sylvia's death, Natasha might not want to go to the Musicians' associations anymore … Where should I go to 'bump into' her? How could a princess interact with an ordinary person? " Lucien realized that the first step was a bit tricky. At the same time, he sighed. If he did not study music and walk on the path of music, it would be very difficult for him to meet Natasha and other grand nobles. Lucien and Natasha were from two different worlds. Their daily lives would not overlap.
Although Lucien had written a letter to Natasha telling her that he was going back to the Duchy of Orvarit, she did not know exactly when he would arrive and how he would look like … Lucien was a bit annoyed. He decided to find out Natasha's whereabouts first like an assassin, and then he would find a chance to meet with Natasha.
In the afternoon, the tall and magnificent city wall appeared in front of Lucien's eyes. Aalto was still as magnificent and prosperous as ever.
"I'm back …" Lucien murmured to himself. Then he got off the carriage and was ready to enter the city.
At this time, the crowd in front of him made way for a group of Knights to pass through slowly. The leader of the group was a beautiful woman in milky white armor. She was valiant and heroic, and her dreamy purple eyes were calm and tranquil, like a beautiful violet flower.
"Natasha?!" Lucien did not expect that he would meet Natasha right after he arrived in Aalto. What a coincidence!
The Knights slowly passed through the crowd. When Natasha passed by Lucien, she suddenly turned around and looked at the blonde Lucien.
With a beautiful smile on her face, Natasha slightly blinked her eyes and then led the Knights out of the city.
"What a coincidence … The trouble I was worried about was solved just like that …" Lucien thought to himself in disbelief, as if he was dreaming.
At this time, several passers-by started to discuss, "Her Royal Highness went to the manor again?"
"Yeah, that's weird. Ever since Her Royal Highness finished her meditation in the monastery, she has been going to the manor every afternoon, and then going back to Aalto the next morning. Isn't it too troublesome?"
The corners of Lucien's mouth curled up subconsciously as he smiled. This guy … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
