Chapter 76 Revealed little by little (asking for recommendation votes)
Putting the paper ball on the table, Lucian took out the letter paper from the box and unfolded it, and sure enough, a few lines of black words had appeared on it:
"It seems that you have received our gift, Mr. Evans, and those three fingers are a warning against foolish acts, that everything you do is in our hands and observations, and that our strength is greater than you can imagine, more legendary than the stories you have heard from the Tavern Bard. Okay, crush the 'Ball of Sight' and you will see what you want to see."
Lucian already felt the magnetism contained in the dark black ball when he got it, and judged that it was recording the scene, so he crushed it without hesitation at this time.
Black smoke filled out, concentrated in front of Lucian, and gradually presented a dynamic black-and-white three-dimensional picture.
The people inside were Joel, Alyssa, and Evan, who were in a small wooden house, sitting around the only brown wooden table.
Evan had his eyes half-closed, nodding frequently, looking sleepy, while Joel and Alyssa had sad faces, their wounds were tied with white cloth strips on their hands, and through the small window of the wooden house, they could see the rich darkness outside, as well as a few stars twinkling slightly in mid-air, while the silver moon was obscured by darkness and was completely invisible.
This dynamic scene lasted a minute.
The original lines of words on the letter disappeared, and new words appeared: "Mr. Evans, you have seen that they are still alive, and in the future, as long as there is different weather and scenery at night, we will record a scene for you, so that you can judge that each scene belongs to a different date by the rain, wind, lightning, the degree of incompleteness of the silver moon, and the number of stars. You see, our reputation has always been good."
"This reassured me a lot. By the way, if John comes back during this time, how can I tell him?"
Lucian nodded and replied, the small part of the starry sky that he had just seen through the small window of the wooden house calmly appeared in his mind, and then compared it with the large number of astrological maps drawn in different seasons and different places in the witch's magic notebook in order to judge which stars it was, and recorded the brightness and darkness of the stars with the star magnitude, and also recorded and calculated the angle of the view from the wooden window, the initial position of several stars in the sky, and the change in their position across the sky in the one-minute scene.
Astrological magic is the most deeply studied series of magic by Lucian!
Regarding the knowledge of astrology, with the experience of listening to the apprentices exchanged last time, Lucian has almost completely mastered the apprenticeship, not to mention his own astronomical knowledge that is higher than ancient magic.
"I am very satisfied that you were able to take the initiative to ask how to deal with it, it seems that Mr. Evans, you have gradually accepted your fate, and if John comes back, you will tell him directly, I believe he will not risk the lives of his father, mother, and brother. Also, Mr. Evans, please pay attention to the Latah Summer Palace tomorrow."
Lucian goes to the Latah Summer Palace every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 a.m. to discuss music with Princess Natasha, and if the princess needs it, she can summon Lucian at any time, of course, the reward will be calculated separately.
The words appeared and disappeared one by one, and the letter paper finally did not change, Lucian folded it up, rewrapped the three broken fingers, and put them back in the box.
…………
Lucian, whose mind was full of astrological charts, slowly walked on the way to the Musicians Association.
"Yesterday, I received the sight and fingers today, and I can make the most basic judgment that Uncle Joel's family is in a village, town, or forest near Alto, or even a hidden place in Alto City."
Lucian quickly determined the identity of those stars by comparing a large number of astrological maps drawn in Aalto, as well as the preliminary calculation of the movement trajectory and speed, and then found various data of one of the known stars by searching the star catalog, and then based on its relative position last night, combined with the observation angle, etc., the preliminary results were obtained:
"The location of that wooden house is to the west of Aalto, within about 20 kilometers, that is, here in the depths of the Meisel Black Forest." On a simple wind collection map near Aalto that he saw from the music library materials, Lucian marked the location of the wooden house with little error, "This range is within 200 meters."
"I hope that when I see the scene in the future, I will still be in that wooden house, so that I can correct the data through natural scenery such as the silver moon." The star catalog on Earth is useless here, Lucian used the star catalog and star chart used by ancient astronomical magicians, there must be a slight error, to be completely accurate, it needs to be corrected by other means.
However, within two hundred meters, it was relatively easy to find the cabin, so Lucian's mood became slightly excited and excited, the only problem was that his strength was not enough, just monitoring his enemies were much more powerful than himself, and since the "Silver and White Horns" dared to act in the church-controlled Alto several times in a row, their strength was definitely not weak, even if the powerful figures of the cult had other big things to be busy with, and they were not responsible for guarding small people like Joel's family, but Lucian estimated that at least there were enemies with a formal sacrificial level.
"It's really difficult every step." Lucian suppressed his impatience and sighed softly in his heart.
Although since discovering the problem, in a calm situation, Lucian's response to every step was the best he could do, and he had tested a lot of things to determine the location where Joel's family was imprisoned, but in the face of such a powerful enemy, these were far from enough!
…………
When I arrived at the association, there were two other girls who Lucian was not familiar with in the hall today, one of them stood up and bowed slightly: "Good morning, Mr. Evans. Mr. Hank explained that if you come, please go to his office, he has already arranged your exclusive lounge."
Lucian originally wanted to find a quiet piano room, but it would be better to have his own lounge, so he climbed directly to the third floor to find Hank, and under his guidance, he found an exclusive lounge on the third floor.
"Evans, this place will be yours from now on, unless you die or join a music association in another country." Hank opened the door of the lounge and pointed to the gorgeous room.
The concert association building is very large, the atrium even contains a garden, and in addition to the office on the third floor, there are seventy or eighty such lounges, and nearly half of the second floor is a lounge.
A thick dark yellow carpet, a red wooden desk, wardrobe, coffee table, a set of sofas wrapped in a beautiful dark blue cloth coat, exquisite statues, decorations and oil lamps, a small room with a bed that is half open, a milky white piano, this is the lounge that only musicians can have, and the Aalto Music Society has treated Lucian as a musician.
Lucian smiled politely: "Thank you, Mr. Hank, I am satisfied."
"This is what I should do, Evans, just call me Hank." Hank smiled and turned to leave.
Walking into the lounge, Lucian closed the door tightly, deliberately releasing the emotions he had suppressed before, the grief and resentment after seeing the three severed fingers.
After walking anxiously around the lounge a few times, Lucian suddenly sat down in front of the milky white piano, pressed his hands heavily, and played the Symphony of Destiny, the only piece he could play proficiently.
The passionate melody began to echo, and Lucian took advantage of this loud voice to suppress the other voices, and began to curse in a low voice:
"This group of bastards actually kidnapped Uncle Joel's family and asked me to get close to Her Royal Highness."
……
Such words kept spitting out of Lucian's mouth under the cover of music, venting was not Lucian's purpose, but to test the other party's ability to monitor.
After playing, Lucian stood up and let out a long breath, even if the other party really heard it, it could be interpreted as if he was venting his emotions, so as not to have problems in front of the princess tomorrow.
Returning to his home in the Adjean district at noon, Lucian was relieved to find that the stationery only said: "It is a good choice to use music to vent appropriately, Mr. Evans."
The other party may have wanted to use this reminder to show that they could monitor everything about Lucian, so that Lucian was afraid and did not dare to have other thoughts.
But for Lucian, another important situation was tested!
…………
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lucian arrived at Victor's house on time.
Although the butler Ace didn't say anything, his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Lucian. He has accompanied Victor for most of his life, and he is very happy that Victor can successfully hold a concert.
Renee, Colin, and David, the three civilian students who continued to study, stood up together and greeted Lucian when they saw Lucian come in: "Good afternoon, Mr. Evans."
Although Lucian's affairs have not yet spread from the musicians to the common people, the three of them have already known about Lucian through the previous conversation between Phyllis and Annie. Shocked and unbelievable emotions, when they faced Lucian, whose identity and status had changed dramatically, they subconsciously treated Lucian the way they treated Victor, "After just a month of not seeing each other, has this world become so strange?"
Lot smiled and stood up and hugged Lucian: "Until now, I still can't believe that all this is true."
And Phyllis also walked over and whispered in Lucian's ear: "Things are going well, at this time tomorrow, I should be able to give you the moonlight rose."
"Thank you, Phyllis." Lucian whispered thank you sincerely.
Such a scene made Lot mutter: "When did they become so close? Could it be that when it comes to contacting men, women are naturally better than men?"
