— — Please recommend me to the fourth place. "
…
Lucien deliberately looked around and saw that Phyllis's carriage was driving into the villa, and there was no one around. Lucien motioned them to enter the three-story villa and the garden in front of the gate.
"Phyllis, I have a favor to ask of you." Lucien looked serious and solemn.
Phyllis's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, "What's the matter? I can't promise you that I can help you. My father is just a clerk in the city hall, and my uncle and cousin Harrington have always disliked my family. "
If it was before the concert, Phyllis would definitely refuse Lucien's request. However, after the concert's great success, their relationship had changed from cold classmates to friends. Besides, Lucien's talent in music was obvious to all. Therefore, Phyllis subconsciously wanted to maintain a good friendship with Lucien.
As a normal person, Phyllis couldn't deny that she was jealous of Lucien. However, she had been taught to weigh the pros and cons, judge the good and bad, and think about the future. Also, Phyllis's father failed to inherit the title of nobility, so Phyllis was not blinded by the great power and the flattery of her peers, which led to her being blindly arrogant and impulsive.
Lucien considered his tone carefully, "I have a good friend, John. He's Lord Venn's squire, and he's already a senior-rank knight who can awaken the Blessing power. Since my father was summoned by the Lord, I've been taken care of by his family. In the past, when I didn't have the ability and money, I could do my own thing and enjoy everything. But yesterday's concert's success earned me thirty-three Quintal, so I didn't sleep well last night. After thinking for a long time, I decided to repay them first. Otherwise, I can't face the merciful Lord, and I can't face myself. "
Phyllis understood what Lucien meant. She didn't doubt his reason, "You want to get the Moonlight Rose from me to help your good friend increase the success rate of awakening the Blessing power?"
Lucien saw Phyllis's expression and was secretly relieved, "Yes, this is the best I can do to repay them."
"Lucien, I admire and like your character. It's reassuring and pleasant to get along with a kind person like you who doesn't forget the kindness of others." Phyllis obviously admired Lucien's character.
If it was only this matter, Phyllis couldn't be sure of Lucien's character, but with the help of Mr. Victor, there was no doubt about it.
But after praising Lucien, Phyllis said seriously, "The Moonlight Rose only helps to awaken the Blessing power. The most important thing is your own willpower and strength. You should know that the number of nobles who use fifty grams of Moonlight Rose and other materials to awaken the Blessing power and fail three times in a row is ten times more than the number of Knights. If your good friend has the ability to awaken the Blessing power, Lord Venn will definitely give him a certain number of Moonlight Roses. You can use this money to let them live a better life. Lucien, do you really want to buy Moonlight Roses for him? "
Speaking of this, she was a little sad, because she was one of the nobles who failed.
Although Phyllis was asking him, Lucien could tell that she didn't have any strong resistance to buying Moonlight Roses for him, so he said with some gratitude, "I've asked around. Generally, this kind of gift is only ten grams. If you can prepare more Moonlight Roses, John's chances of successfully awakening the Blessing power will be higher. Even if it's just a little, I'll do my best to fight for it. "
Phyllis suddenly laughed. Maybe it was a psychological effect, but Lucien felt that she was unprecedentedly beautiful, "No wonder Lucien can write the Symphony of Fate. Okay, how many grams do you want to buy?"
"Fifty grams." Lucien weighed his financial resources and said without hesitation. If he could experiment a few more times, the chances of successfully concocting the "Weeping Soul" potion would be much higher. At the same time, he was full of gratitude. Phyllis was so easy to talk to and didn't ask for anything.
Phyllis's plump lips were wide open, "So much? With my status in the family, I can only buy ten grams at most! "
Although their family had the closest relationship with the Count of Hayne, their relationship and status were the worst. If it weren't for the rich inheritance and position left by the old Count, Phyllis's father might have already gone bankrupt.
"Can you buy as much as you can? I heard that Moonlight Roses can help people improve their coordination, so my piano playing skills can improve quickly. Phyllis, I'll remember your help. " Lucien made up another reason, trying to make his eyes look more sincere and sincere. Moonlight Roses did have the effect of improving physical strength and strength, but the improvement of coordination had not been recognized. There were only rumors and cases in this regard.
Clasping her hands together, Phyllis rubbed her palms together. Many thoughts flashed through her mind. The ten grams of Moonlight Rose was mainly because they had become good friends, but if Lucien wanted more Moonlight Rose, Phyllis would have to consider his future and the benefits that he could bring her. Just like a noble who wanted to sponsor or invest in a musician, she had to weigh the benefits and benefits that he could bring her.
Lucien did not rush Phyllis, and let her think carefully for a while. Then Phyllis looked at Lucien seriously, "I can beg my father to buy ten grams of Moonlight Roses, and I can also ask Yvette and Melissa from the Rafati family to help me buy ten grams from their families. That's a total of forty grams, no more. And Lucien, you have to pay a certain price. "
Even if Phyllis did not have a noble title, and her family's status was not high, she was still a noble, and a member of one of the three big families. If she really wanted to do something, she could mobilize a huge amount of power. This was the benefit of social connections!
"Forty grams … Okay, forty grams it is. Phyllis, what do you want me to do? "Lucien thought for a while, and this was already more than his limit of thirty grams.
Phyllis smiled brightly and said, "The requirements are very simple, especially for a musical genius like you. First, the money to buy Moonlight Roses cannot be paid by me. Second, I hope that you can play a few pieces of music as soon as possible. My birthday party is next month, and I want to invite you, a musical genius, to perform at the party. Third, I hope that you can teach me how to play the piano, compose music, and share your experience. If I can write good music in the future, I hope that I can perform it at your concert, or you can introduce my music to Her Royal Highness and other musicians, and write reviews. "
After hearing that the princess liked the piano very much, Phyllis, who was already quite good at the flute, was ready to learn another instrument. Among the three requirements, there was no doubt that the third one was the most important. Whenever a new instrument was born or a new musical trend appeared, it was always the time when musicians had the most inspiration. Phyllis hoped that through the guidance of Victor and Lucien, the two musicians, she could quickly improve her ability to transform inspiration into music, and seize this rare opportunity.
Moreover, she did not have much confidence in becoming Victor's real disciple, so naturally she had her eyes on her classmate Lucien, who was a musical genius and the princess's music consultant.
"Okay, I swear to God." Seeing that it was just a request, Lucien did not hesitate to agree. Getting the Moonlight Roses was the most important thing at the moment. At the same time, he silently said in his heart, "As long as I haven't left Aalto by then. Even if I leave, I will make up for it. "
Trusting Lucien's character, Phyllis nodded, "A total of 40 Quintal. Give me two days."
"Two days … Okay, then I hope that Phyllis will be able to complete it in two days. Here are 30 Quintal. As for the remaining 10, I want to pay you back in five months. Is that okay? You know that I have a job as Her Royal Highness's music consultant. "Lucien was a little embarrassed.
This job was very persuasive. Phyllis let go of her hands, "Then I'll use my savings to pay for it. Don't let me go bankrupt, Lucien."
The bulging money pouch suddenly became dry. There were only three Quintal, a few silver Nars and some copper Fells left. However, Lucien was not disappointed. Instead, he was a little excited.
Being able to buy the Moonlight Rose was the best thing that could happen.
If Lucien had not become a musician and met Phyllis, he would have had to go to the black market or the secret magic gatherings to try to buy the Moonlight Rose.
After saying goodbye to Phyllis, Lucien bought two pieces of black bread, some beef and potatoes and went back to his cottage.
… …
With the help of cooking and eating, Lucien calmed himself down and suppressed his impatience and anxiety. Then he closed the wooden door and window, and took out the letter from the box in his room and unfolded it.
"Why are you looking for your classmate Phyllis in the noble district? Don't think that you can fool us. You've been in her garden for twenty minutes. Mr. Evans, please don't do anything stupid! "
The three lines of words on the letter were exactly as Lucien expected.
Lucien sneered in his mind, "It seems that you didn't use any magic on me. You must be worried that the magic circle in the Ratacia Palace will detect you."
Other people would not dare to make such a judgment, but Lucien himself was also a master of supernatural powers.
So Lucien answered honestly, "I went to buy the Moonlight Rose from Phyllis. Uncle Chorre and his family were kidnapped by you. I don't know if they can come back safely. So John is the only one I can treat well. "
"I think you're trying to increase John's power to deal with us. Haha, if the Blessing could be activated so easily, the number of Knights would not be so low. Mr. Evans, I'm amazed by your recklessness and stupidity. Although the Moonlight Rose is useless, as a reward, you will receive a finger from Alisa tomorrow. "
A few lines of new sentences appeared.
Lucien cursed in his mind, "Bastards!" He wanted to kill them.
Of course, maybe because of Lucien's "honesty", the consequences were not as serious as Lucien thought.
While cursing, Lucien calmly copied the sentences on the back of an old sheet of music with a quill pen in his hand. The intense emotions in his mind and the cold calmness in his actions were reflected in Lucien's body at the same time.
Lucien was testing whether his enemies could "see" what he was doing.
Without these tests, Lucien would not dare to go to the laboratory to make the potion of Weeping Soul.
