………………………………………………………………………………
Natasha was satisfied with the piano sketch "To Alice", but did not forbid Lucian to read books in her study because of this, she is now very confident in Lucian's creative ability, hoping that Lucian can draw inspiration from those religious classics, epics, folk heroic poems, historical documents and chivalric novels to write classics.
So Lucian went to the Latah Summer Palace at nine o'clock every Tuesday and Thursday to read books, and at eleven o'clock to discuss music with Natasha, doing his duty as a music consultant.
"Evans, what are you doing?" In the study, Beck, who had translated dozens of pages of books, walked back and forth to relieve his fatigue, and unexpectedly saw Lucian sorting and copying books.
Lucian used fancy writing to write a row of beautiful words on a blank piece of paper before raising his head and replied to Baker: "I am sorting out and summarizing these historical documents and poems so that I can find creative materials in the future."
Although they have known and been together for nearly two months, Lucian and him have not become familiar due to Baker's rigidity and conservatism.
After a while, he said with deep doubts: "Evans, the way you organize it is very strange, it seems to be arranged from the dark and obscure era to the sacred era in the way of general history, and it seems to be a biography, combining the stories of clergy, emperors, kings, dukes, and count heroes, as well as changes in culture, law, etc."
"Because for me to create, the story of each epic character is more important, so it is clearer and more inspiring for me." Lucian replied with a smile.
After becoming a knight and a magician, it is normal for his memory to improve, but a large part of his strong memory comes from the soul library, which is too much beyond normal, and he has to do some other things to cover it up, such as his talent for organizing and summarizing and unique ideas.
Therefore, Lucian simply sorted out the historical documents in Natasha's study according to the method of historical records, but there was no historical commentary content of "Taishi Gongyu".
Baker nodded in acceptance of Lucian's explanation, highlighting that heroes are a major method of creating operas, novels, and music, and that organizing historical documents according to this line of thinking only requires a little change in thinking.
He looked at it carefully again and said very seriously and seriously: "I think organizing according to this idea already has a new direction for recording history. No wonder Evans, your recollection of historical materials is so clear and fast, it turns out that you have a talent for this."
The current historical records are still in chronicle form, with separate biographical books of the most famous big names and war epics, etc., Lucian's chronicle form is very novel, but not shocking.
At this time, Natasha suddenly walked into the study, heard Beck's words, and asked curiously why, and then laughed: "Lucian, it turns out that you are really going to become a historian, but it is best to separate people of different statuses such as clergy, emperors, and dukes.
"Okay." Lucian never thought that he would really get a history book out, and only use innovation in the form of sorting and induction to cover up his problems, "Your Highness, it's not yet eleven o'clock, do you have anything to look for me in the study?"
After Natasha motioned for Baker to continue translating the book, she took Lucian to the corner of the study, smiling brightly, but with another "you know" expression, slightly obscene: "Yesterday was Sylvia's birthday, there was no banquet, just the two of us, she was very satisfied with the piano sketch "Dedicated to Sylvia", saying that this was the simple and beautiful music she had been trying to find. After I told her this morning that it was your work, she was not angry, on the contrary, she was very grateful to you and wanted to invite you to her house tonight, just me, Aunt Camille, Sylvia, and Sylvia's father's private banquet."
"I think Sylvia should be a little unhappy about this kind of thing." Lucian discussed this issue with Natasha "normally", "There is a big difference between the works created by your lover and the works created by others, especially if you didn't explain it at the beginning, if she wasn't angry, it could only mean ......."
Natasha interrupted Lucian's words and smiled happily: "It is because of such kindness, gentleness and consideration that I like Sylvia, she was really moved last night, and I didn't break the agreement. Tsk, Lucian, you look like a love expert, but apart from dancing, you haven't even held a girl's hand."
"......" Lucian, "Don't always mention this kind of thing."
"Okay, my historian, will you attend the banquet tonight?" Natasha smiled and pulled back to the topic, inviting Lucian very seriously.
Lucian did not refuse, anyway, it was in Jisu District, very close to his home, so he would not delay his study at night.
…………
At 7 p.m., at No. 78 in Jisu District, a pale yellow two-story villa.
Its architecture is bright and soft, and the garden has several kinds of flowers that defy the cold.
"Welcome, Lucian." Sylvia and her father open the door to the villa.
She wore an elegant and dignified long white dress, with her hair as deep as night and as smooth as silk falling over her shoulders, completely exuding that gentle and pure unique temperament, and she was definitely the dream lover of most men.
And her father was wearing a black dress jacket and a thick black beard, looking a little old and gloomy, but it could be seen that he must have been a beautiful man when he was young, and his facial features were as deep as a sculpture.
Lucian handed the small gift he brought to Sylvia: "Happy birthday, Sylvia. Good evening, Mr. DeLoni." At the same time, there was a slight doubt in his heart, why did Sylvia's father De Niro give himself a faint strange feeling.
"Good evening, Lucian, although we both live in Jisu District, this is the first time I've seen you today, and you're younger than I imagined. Hehe, I can often hear the first movement of your G major serenade at banquets in the past two months, and everyone is guessing when you will be able to write the next few movements." Deroni smiled politely and subtly.
Lucian, led by Sylvia, walked to the sofa in the living room, where Natasha and Camille were already sitting: "Actually, it's done, it's a string quartet."
"Then I hope to hear it at the New Year's ball, and then you play 'For Sylvia' during the intermission, and I can ...... then," Natasha smiled and winked at Lucian. There are no New Year's concerts in the principality, but there is the "Aalto Festival".
Lucian understood what she meant, that is, to find an excuse to give himself a manor, but in fact Lucian preferred a reward similar to a "vigilant" longsword: ""For Sylvia" should be a private work, and there is no need to play it at the New Year's ball.
"But this is Lucian's work, it's best to find an opportunity to publish it, the New Year's ball is a good occasion." It was Sylvia who spoke, her voice was slightly lower, but it was more hoarse and sexy, "And the name of "Dedicated to Sylvia" is not suitable, others will think that you are pursuing me."
Natasha stopped with a smile: "Why not? Most of the unmarried musicians in the association are pursuing you, hehe, many married ones are too, but after Phyllis's birthday party, their group of nasty guys disappeared completely. Okay, Lucian, we were discussing poetry and legends from all over the principality before, and you are an 'expert' in this area, and I hope you will give 'guidance'."
"Expert?" Deroni looked at Lucian on the sofa opposite in confusion.
At this time, Lucian had already sat on a single sofa, shook his head and smiled: "I'm just for creation, I've been reading a lot of books on this topic recently. Her Royal Highness has always been humorous."
"How could it be, even Mr. Baker thinks Lucian, you have the potential to become a historian, no, you are already a historian." Natasha was in a good mood and said half-jokingly, "Uncle Deroni is a successful businessman, a director of the Aalto Metal Jewelry Guild, who travels all over the principality all year round and knows a lot of poetry and legends.
Under her leadership, the four of them chatted happily about this before dinner, and Camille occasionally said a few words, as if she had traveled all over the principality as an adventurer and mercenary in her youth.
Gradually, it was almost dinner time, and Deloni smiled thoughtfully: "I thought Her Royal Highness was joking, but after the exchange just now, I found that Lucian, you are really a historian who can accurately judge the age and background of poetry and legends. I happen to know a folk poem that has been rarely circulated, and I have always been curious about when and where in the principality it describes."
"Uncle Deroni, tell me quickly, I'll judge too." Natasha felt that she had also read a lot of historical books and documents, so she glanced at Lucian with a slightly competitive look.
Just normal communication and chat, Lucian replied easily: "I'll try hard."
Delony seemed to be reminiscing, and after a while he slowly recited:
"When the sun enters the palace of Thanos,
A huge fireball fell from the sky,
The earth shook violently,
The towering city and the magnificent tower were reduced to ruins in an instant.
……
The sky and the earth are murky,
The green is covered by the dim yellow,
The darkness is like a demon hiding in the abyss.
……
Quick, look, the bright red water surface flooded the lips.
…………」
After reading it, Deloni said with a slight expectation: "It's just a folk poem, it's not beautiful, but I'm very interested in what it describes, Her Highness the Princess, Lucian, can you judge what era and place it belongs to?"
Natasha frowned slightly: "Thanos' palace should refer to a certain location where the sun moves."
However, in historical documents, Thanos also refers to the chief archon of the magical empire known as the "Sun King".
