………………………………………………………………………………………………
After accepting the suggestion of Lucian and Rhine, Victor took out a very simple piece for Lucian to read the score, which was a piano introductory piece he wrote specifically for his music students, because it needed to be simple, so there were not many gorgeous ornamental sounds, when it was played on the original harpsichord, it was limited by its shortcomings, and could only be barely counted as audible, and when played on the current piano, it had a melody like a song, pure and beautiful feeling, although it was not yet a famous song, but it was enough to spread.
Even if he only had a few days of musical foundation, he completed the initial reading of music within ten times, similar to Lot, Phyllis and other aristocratic students who had been influenced by music since childhood, which made Victor's face smile with relief again.
"Okay, Lucian, try to play the string rhythm in the first part yourself, don't be nervous, it's normal for anything to happen the first time, but you must remember to keep your fingering, don't move your fingers randomly in a panic, as long as the fingering is not wrong, practice for a while, and you can master this piece." After Victor told Lucian the basic fingering points, he actually asked Lucian to start playing, which was not at all like the piano fingering introductory tutorial in Lucian's mind, there was a process of gradually familiarizing himself with fingerings and keys.
Of course, this piece of music is very simple, such direct practice and the first part of the piano introductory tutorial are combined to learn at the same time, children with simple thinking and logic may have a hard time learning, but for adults like Lucian, they can adapt to it with a lot of practice.
Lucian put his hands on the keys like an egg, looked at the sheet music in front of him, quickly recalled it in his mind, and then pressed it down and started playing.
When I remembered it, I thought it was very simple, but when I actually played it, I found it very difficult, I clearly remembered which note to play, but it didn't correspond to the keys, and when I got the corresponding keys, I wanted to command my fingers to press it, and I had to recall the fingering, I couldn't make mistakes, which finger to use must be accurate, and when I figured this out, the extension of the fingers seemed to be uncoordinated.
So Lucian finished the first note for a long time before another note sounded, causing the piano room to sound intermittently, like the sound of a person giving his last words before death.
Fortunately, Lucian has been trained to cast spells, and has been influenced by so many dangerous situations and dead scenes, no matter how slow he plays, he does not panic, and he is not in a hurry to catch up with notes so that he makes mistakes, mixes, and urgent notes.
Lot, Phyllis and Herodotus on the side listened with a thick smile on their faces, without any intention of laughing, because when they first played, it was the same, even worse than Lucian, and laughing at Lucian was equivalent to laughing at themselves.
This piece was not long, but the string rhythm of about a minute was played by Lucian for more than three minutes, and after playing, Lucian realized that there was a layer of cold sweat behind him, and his forehead was also densely covered with beads of sweat, which actually felt like he was casting a spell in the sir.
Snapping, Victor took the lead in applauding, comforting and praising Lucian: "Although Lucian, you play very slowly and poorly, but among the ordinary beginners I have seen, the only one who can keep the notes right the first time he plays without making mistakes, this calmness can make you master the piano fingering faster, but sometimes, playing music, you need to invest in your feelings for music, it's not good to be too calm."
Rhine, Lot, and others applauded, they were able to witness Lucian's first performance, but it was impossible for Lott, Phyllis and others to praise Lucian, the pride and pride of the nobles and scholars made them not think it was anything at all, especially Herodotus still hated Lucian very much.
After Victor finished speaking, as an equally excellent player of harpsichord and harpsichord, Rhein commented two sentences, pointing out Lucian's current problems:
"Lucian, your memory is very good, after learning and playing a few more times, you should be able to remember the position of the keys, even if you practice to the point where you can react immediately when you see the score or hear the music, I believe it will take less than a month, but I noticed that your hands are not coordinated, that is, the notes you want cannot react to the movements of your hands the fastest."
"This piece of music is still very simple, and when you encounter a piece of music with strong technique and full of gorgeous ornaments, it will be even more difficult when you encounter complex music that works with your left and right hands.
"Of course, this is a matter of proficiency, as long as you can practice hard, two or three years at the earliest, no more than ten years at the longest, you can become a qualified musician.
Although Lucian knew that even if he had a teacher, it would take a long time to practice a musical instrument, but thinking about earning his current living expenses, spellcasting materials, and magic experiment equipment by becoming a musician, he was inevitably a little disappointed: "Mr. Victor, Mr. Rhein, isn't there a way to become a qualified musician faster?"
"Unless you are a true musical genius with an unparalleled understanding of music, you may be able to master an instrument in those months, but unfortunately, you are not. So a solid foundation and long practice are the only way for you to become a qualified musician, and I don't want to hear people say that Mr. Victor's music student is a fool who can't even play the piano well." Phyllis, who was good at satirizing others, finally couldn't help but reprimand Lucian after hearing his delusions.
Herodotus smiled and listened to Phyllis's words, and then pretended to be kind and said: "Lucian, you must step on the solid ground with your feet steadily in order to go further and faster."
"Yes, Lucian, you just started learning, don't underestimate the difficulty of learning a musical instrument." Lot didn't hate Lucian as much as the other two, so he just followed the advice.
Rhein smiled: "It's good for young people to have ideals and momentum, but the practice of musical instruments requires countless times, even though I am good at playing violin, harpsichord, harpsichord and harp, but it is accumulated over a long period of time. Hehe, in fact, there is also a way that allows you to master a musical instrument in the shortest possible time, that is, to stimulate your bloodline strength and become a knight, so that the control of the body, the control of the hands and feet will become very strong, and the coordination will naturally be good.
"Of course, I don't know how long it will take you to stimulate the bloodline power, whether it will take longer than a few years or more than ten years."
"Hahaha." Rhine's humorous closing words made Victor, Lot and others can't help but laugh, how difficult it is to stimulate the power of the bloodline, just look at the number of knights in the principality, whether it is Lot, Phyllis, or Herodotus, they are even losers on the road of knighthood, and they feel that they have no hope of success if they persevere, so they turn to pursue the path of musicians.
Victor put away his smile: "If you just want to play a complex piece of music, then you should be able to barely pass the exam if you practice for four hours a day, three or four weeks without interruption, but what's the use of that? Okay, Lucian, let's learn the piano steadily."
Lucian had no choice but to nod, silently calculating his income and expenses in his heart, his salary of ten silver nars per month, of which three silver naals had to be paid to Aunt Alyssa's house as his monthly meal expenses.
Although I miss the delicious food in my previous life, including Western food, and want to try to make some delicious food to comfort myself, I am at a critical moment when I am starting to learn magic and music, and I really don't want to devote more attention to these things.
As for rebuilding a secret magic laboratory, as well as purchasing glass bottles, glasses, stoves, special jars and other items inside, it is even more expensive, and it is likely to invest all the silver coins he gets from gangsters and cultists.
Of course, the utensils needed for these magic experiments, especially glass products, are very sensitive, and in their own condition, once purchased, it is easy to be suspected of being related to magic experiments, which gives Lucian a headache and doesn't know how to solve it.
In addition, Lucian also plans to buy two black-dyed linen garments, as well as some worn-out fabrics and sewing needles, threads, etc., to sew a robe with a pullover hood himself, which is convenient for sometimes hidden activities.
Regarding this matter, Lucian could only relieve his depression with self-deprecation: "The pressure of life has made me, a magician, start learning needlework and sewing, what kind of world is this?"
…………
A few days later, at night, Lucian was using the Soul Library to analyze "Homanz's Cough" again, in order to familiarize it with it and familiarize it again and again without being able to cast spells.
In addition, Lucian mainly studied the use of spiritual power, combined with his previous knowledge, worked on the frequency of changes, etc., and was delighted to find that he could leave imperceptible faint mental power marks on the target person.
And on playing the piano, as Rhine said, after the rapid progress brought about by the initial memory, the coordination of the hands has become the biggest difficulty at present, and I am still practicing the introductory song.
Suddenly, Lucian's spiritual power vaguely felt that something was approaching quickly.
So Lucian immediately stopped doing everything he was doing, looked around, and saw that everything was well hidden, so he carefully got out of bed and prepared to cast spells.
Immediately afterwards, there was a knocking sound on the closed wooden window, and after three clicks, Lucian's locked wooden window opened by itself inexplicably.
"Switch technique!"
The familiar magic fluctuations made Lucian highly vigilant, and at the same time, he raised the expectation that he would finally see other magicians, or magic apprentices?
A black shadow flew in through the open wooden window and landed on the wooden table, making a hoarse and unpleasant whining sound: "Boy, why don't you open the door to the noble Lord Doro and let me do it myself?"
Lucian was a little surprised, this was actually a tawny owl, it looked ordinary, but it raised its pointed beak, made a human voice, and made an arrogant appearance.
"Familiar? Or Transfiguration?"
Seeing this, Lucian's heart moved, he made an extremely frightened appearance, and retreated to the bed, trembling.
The strange owl seemed to be very satisfied with Lucian's performance, and couldn't help but pace back and forth on the wooden table for two steps before continuing to act arrogantly: "Boy, Master Doro knows that you are afraid and worship us magical and noble creatures, but I am just here to ask you some questions, as long as you answer honestly, Master Doro will not harm you."
"Let me ask you, after the witch next to your hut was burned to death, did any other magicians come to find her?"
