………………………………………………………………………………
Lucian was very happy to hear the news of his music teacher Victor, and asked with a happy smile: "What works does Mr. Victor play?" Being invited to the Psalm Hall to hold a concert at the Aalto Music Festival shows that Victor's works have been highly recognized.
Glinton, who was showing off his knowledge to several other guests at the table, saw Lucian so interested and became excited, and gushed endlessly: "There are four works in total, each of which is a masterpiece, and my personal favorite is the ending "Symphony No. 8 in C minor", with the theme of "Love". It has been innovative in the original theme music form and has become an autobiographical work, with different movements expressing the sweetness, warmth, sadness, pain and always warm nostalgia of love, allowing everyone to recall their own beautiful sweetness and pain and sourness but never forget the love story."
"After this work was played, the entire Psalm Hall and Civic Square were silent for a long time, and the applause that sounded afterwards, although not warm, was full of tenderness and tranquility, and it seemed that everyone's hearts had become peaceful in love." Clinton seemed to think of the girl he admired when he was young, with a gentle smile on his lips, and then he lowered his voice and said: "I heard that this was composed by Mr. Victor in memory of his wife Winnie, who was called by the Lord, and it is a beautiful piece of music that he has composed with more than ten years of time and longing, and it is a work of art not to be missed, and in my heart it is as great as "Fate", "Dawn War", "Pathetic" and "Moonlight"."
The only lady at the table took out a white handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with great yearning and regret: "Because there is no Master Christopher or Mr. Lucian Evans at this music festival, we didn't go to Aalto, and I didn't expect to miss such a moving music, it's a pity...... I can only buy "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald", and then ask the band to play."
Lucian also felt peaceful and soft, and he had a deep understanding of Mr. Victor's feelings for his wife, and being able to compose this piece of music he had always wanted to compose and received such a high evaluation must be the greatest comfort in his life.
Lucian, whose voice became gentler unconsciously, continued to ask: "In addition to famous musicians, are there any new musicians and outstanding new musicians at the Aalto Music Festival?"
Three years have passed, I don't know how Elena, Phyllis, Pierre, Grace, Lot, Herodotus, these people who are familiar with each other, regardless of their friendship, are they still developing on the road of music, and what achievements have they achieved?
"In addition to famous musicians, the most impressive thing is a new female musician, her name is Louise, not only did she create two piano sonatas and four piano sketches very good and beautiful, showing the unique delicate style of women, but she also seemed to be a quasi-knight, raising a beautiful white wolf, which is very eye-catching." As a man, Glinton, for others other than famous musicians, naturally subconsciously pays attention to beautiful women first.
"I've never heard of it, but as the capital of music, it's normal for a new outstanding musician to emerge whenever a new musician emerges." Lucian thought as he took a sip of the appetizing lemon juice before the meal and said, "Is there anyone else?"
"There are many more, and the Aalto Music Festival can always discover many newcomers who have been buried or have not yet become famous." Glinton flamboyantly talked about what he had seen and heard about Aalto, counting the musicians, pianists, musicians, etc. he thought was good.
It wasn't until Lucian was about to lose patience that Glinton mentioned someone he knew, "Mr. Victor's schoolgirl, Mr. Lucian Evans' classmate Phyllis, held her first concert at this festival, combining the various scenery and different music she saw during her travels on the continent into a symphony, a piano sonata and several piano pieces, and she also performed Mr. Evans' "Moonlight" and the piano arrangement with great skill.
"Her music is still far from outstanding, but she also has a certain level. According to her status as a member of the Hayne family and a good friend of Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha, it is not difficult to win praise in the Aalto music circle."
Lucian nodded slightly, for an aristocratic girl like Phyllis, the most important thing in the first concert was not to fail. To be able to perform now, she must have worked very hard in the past few years.
The joy of success from a friend kept Lucian up a good appetite, while Glinton sighed softly: "Every time I mention 'Moonlight', it reminds me of a regrettable thing, this music with a hint of sadness and sweetness, no one has ever heard Mr. Evans play it himself. I wonder how beautiful this work, which is known as the most beautiful piano piece so far, will be played in the hands of this great musician? Although his student Ms. Grace performed this work well at this festival and received many praises, it made people even more curious about Mr. Evans' performance ......."
Referring to the genius musician known as the Duchy of Vaulit, the lady nodded in agreement: "Mr. Evans has created a new style of piano playing and laid the foundation for the current piano fingering, and his level on the piano is definitely one of the best, and "Moonlight" was composed by himself, and no one can fully interpret the feelings contained in it. By the way, I think a big man must have heard Mr. Evans play "Moonlight"."
Lucian was quite ashamed to hear the lady's praise, but it sounded like Grace had indeed come to Alto, and she had made great progress in her piano playing skills.
After hearing the last words, Glinton and the other three men all laughed and said, "Of course, Her Royal Highness must have heard it. It is said that Mr. Evans wrote the first movement before he went out and played it 'privately' in front of Her Royal Highness."
Their laughter is full of male ambiguity.
Lucian cut a piece of veal steak a little embarrassed and chewed, then pretended to ask casually: "Mr. Evans has been traveling for three years, I don't know when he will be back?"
"It's probably only been the past two years, and no one knows where he has traveled now, except for Her Royal Highness. But at least Mr. Evans' musical creation has not stopped, "Moonlight" is a classic, and "Tempest" is also an excellent work." Clinton praised from the bottom of his heart, "I wonder what kind of work he will bring us when he comes back?"
It's normal for a musician to have more than one work a year and still travel.
And no music critic or music lover will demand that every work of a musician is better than the last, as long as it remains above the standard, after all, music relies more on the burst of inspiration or the accumulation of life.
Seeing that several other guests nodded in agreement, Lucian thought thoughtfully: "Whether the church has noticed that genius musicians are evil magicians or not, at least they don't preach ...... to ordinary people."
After that, several people chatted for a long time, but Lucian never heard from Elena, but this is normal, after all, she has only been in contact with music for more than three years, and she is not as good as Phyllis, Grace and other people who have studied since childhood, and she is currently at most a good musician.
And John, Uncle Joel and others had nothing to do with the music festival, and Lucian didn't dare to inquire rashly.
…………
On the second day, the orange-red light on the edge of the sky slowly emerged.
Lucian also happened to use his spiritual power to shake his soul at this time to outline the last curve, completely constructing a complex spell model.
The invisible light enveloped the spell model, almost disappearing, and by the time it reappeared, it had begun to orbit the Star of Destiny like any other magic.
This is "Professor's Infrasound Resonance", which relies on infrasonic resonance to stun, wound, and even kill enemies, and is characterized by its strong penetration, which can penetrate most energy-type and elemental defense layers, but it is difficult to deal with spell-nullifying and anti-mana field type defensive magic.
If the infrasonic energy was sufficient, Lucian was confident that he could rely on it to influence the high-level powerhouses, but with Lucian's current four-ring strength, he could not provide the energy he needed.
"Finally, the structure was successful." Lucian looked inside at his soul, looking at the thirty-six one-ring magic, twenty-eight second-ring magic, twenty three-ring magic, and five four-ring magic and sighed.
Previously, "Professor's Infrasound Resonance" failed twice, and it wasn't until Lucian's third attempt that it was successful, because the complexity of this magic was close to that of the five rings.
After resting for half an hour, there was a knock on the door.
"Leo, please come in." Lucian's mental force field sensed that it was Leo.
Leo opened the door and said respectfully: "Sir, it's time for breakfast, and then we will leave for Aalto."
"Okay." Lucian got up to tidy up his clothes, casually looked at the bright sky outside, took a breath of fresh air, and hadn't slept all night.
Since the Dark Mountains are very dangerous, Lucian has been seizing the time to construct magic after being promoted to the Fourth Rings, so that he can analyze and construct five Four Rings magic during the difficult two-month journey, in addition to "Professor's Infrasound Resonance", the other four are: "Douglas's Spell Absorption Wall", "Douglas's Giant Palm", "Mystic Light" and "Arcane Eye".
…………
After breakfast, Lucian got into the carriage and headed towards Alto.
Along the way, looking at the familiar scenery, Lucian's mood was quite complicated, both nostalgic and strangely timid.
"I can't contact Uncle Joel, Aunt Alyssa, and John for the time being, so as not to cause trouble for them, so I must check with Natasha first."
In Alto, Natasha is currently the only one that Lucian can show his identity as a magician without any scruples, but Lucian soon frowned, because he didn't know how to contact Natasha!
She is the heir to the Duchy of Vaorit, Her Royal Highness the Princess, even if she has become a heavenly knight, she is indispensable to be accompanied by attendants, knights, guards, etc., and the places she travels to are either the Lata Summer Palace, her own manor, territory and other well-defended places, or the elegant palace of the Musicians Association, it is difficult for her to "meet" her as an ordinary person!
"And after Sylvia's death, Natasha may not want to go to the Musicians Association again...... Where should I go to 'meet' her? What intersection can a princess and an ordinary person have?" Lucian then realized that the first step of things was a bit troublesome, and at the same time he was quite emotional, if he hadn't studied music and embarked on the path of music at that time, it would have been difficult to get to know Natasha and other great nobles. The two sides are basically people from two worlds, and it is difficult for daily life to overlap.
"Although I wrote to Natasha before departure to tell Natasha that I was returning to the Duchy of Vaulite, she couldn't know exactly when I would arrive and what kind of appearance I would be back......" Lucian thought a little troubled, and could only decide to inquire about Natasha's whereabouts like an assassin first, and then create an opportunity to meet Natasha.
In the afternoon, the tall and majestic city wall appeared in front of Lucian's eyes, and Alto was still so spectacular and prosperous.
"I'm back......" Lucian said silently, and then got out of the carriage to prepare for inspection and entered the city.
At this time, the crowd in front of them stepped aside, and a group of knights passed at a slow pace. At the head was a stunning woman wearing milky white armor, her heroic and bright demeanor, her dreamy purple eyes revealed a little calm and tranquility, like a beautiful violet.
"Natasha?!" Lucian didn't expect that he would meet Natasha as soon as he arrived in Aalto, and it would be such a coincidence!
The knights slowly passed through the crowd, and just as Natasha was about to pass Lucian on the side of the road, she suddenly turned her head and looked at the "blonde" Lucian.
With a beautiful smile, Natasha blinked lightly, and then led the knights out of the city.
"How could it be such a coincidence...... The trouble I was worried about just now was solved like this......" Lucian thought a little incredulously, as if he had a dream.
At this time, several passers-by next to him started talking: "Her Royal Highness has gone out of the city to the manor again?"
"Yes, it's really strange, since Her Royal Highness the Princess finished her monastery retreat, she went to the manor every afternoon, and then returned to Aalto City the next morning, which is not too troublesome?"
The corners of Lucian's mouth curled up subconsciously, and he smiled, this guy......
