Chapter 743 The method of bloodline tempering
The beautiful melody echoed in the restaurant, and the quiet notes made people involuntarily settle in their hearts, but there was no small chamber band around, only a magic gramophone placed on the wall table slowly turning the gum black disk.
After a few minutes, the music gradually subsided, the black disk was turned, and the servant guarding next to him quickly changed one.
Hearing the music sound again, John put down the knife and fork in his hand and said to Lucian with a slight sigh: "An ordinary gum black disc can only record music for a few minutes, and it is difficult to present a complete symphony.
He has not forgotten his past life and is therefore quite attentive to ordinary people.
"The problem is that ordinary people can't even afford a magic gramophone." Lucian joked while cutting foie gras, "Of course, the price of pure magic black plates is indeed not cheap, equivalent to a second-level alchemy item, little nobles can only buy one occasionally, and most of the time they have to use gum black plates, but Viscount Wellesley's family should not have this problem."
Because it was a simplification of combining magic, Lucian himself did not have a mature plan, so he could only redesign and arrange the magic circle according to the concept, which could not be achieved overnight, and had to be done step by step.
After Joel became a director of the Rentat Musicians Association, his whole body became energetic, as if even aging had been delayed: "But the number of small aristocrats is far greater than that of the big aristocracy, and with the use of most restaurants, gum black discs have become the undoubted mainstream at present, and are an important source of income for most musicians, so I find that they are more and more inclined to compose simple music for a few minutes, which is both relaxing and incomeful."
In the past, the income mainly came from serving the aristocracy, serving as their music consultant or chief musician, etc., and after the invention of the magic gramophone, they added an important channel, that is, "music royalties", according to the sales of gum black discs and magic black discs infused with their own music.
Because there is a precedent of "royalties" in the exchange and use of magic, and the "Atomic Control" is also a great musician, the magicians do not reject the "music royalty".
Therefore, under the stimulation of money and the influence of the trend of "light music", most musicians are increasingly accepting the form of short music of a few minutes, and this simple and uncomplicated "casual music" has also been welcomed by the general public, making the development trend of Rentatt's music more and more different from Aalto.
In Lucian's words, Rentat sooner or later became the birthplace of popular music and popular songs.
Hearing Uncle Joel's concerns, Lucian smiled and said: "Sometimes, the change of musical instruments, the change of music dissemination form, and the change of music carrying form will affect the development direction of music, such as the music of the lyre era, the music after the invention of the violin, and the music after the invention of the piano.
Joel himself is a bard and street performer, and has a natural preference for short music, so there is no doubt that the topic will be transformed into the food itself: "I didn't expect little Evans to have a talent for food, this sweet and sour meat is so delicious!"
"Yes." Aunt Alyssa nodded without space, she was completely focused on these delicacies after tasting them.
On the table, except for a few Tria-style dishes such as foie gras, most of the food is something she has never seen or enjoyed, which is very different from the current food style of any country.
"Thank you, Natasha loves these delicacies too." Lucian unceremoniously accepted the praise, although there are many Chinese dishes, not every dish can be liked by people in another world, and the parts on the table are carefully selected on the basis of Natasha as a "guinea pig", of course, Joel, Alyssa and John will have the feeling of swallowing their tongues.
Moreover, Lucian is good at magic, good at identifying animals and plants, and there are many strange things here that are not found on earth, so the "hunting range" of Chinese cuisine has expanded again, and the number of varieties has at least tripled.
Hearing Lucian mention Natasha, Joel said a little strangely: "Why didn't Her Majesty come tonight?"
Normally, as long as Lucian is in Alinge, he will visit Joel's family at least twice a month, and Natasha follows most of the time.
Before Lucian could answer, John preemptively said: "Recently, Rentat is undergoing urban reconstruction, and it is necessary to expand the scope and rearrange the defensive magic circle and magic circle.
"Rentat is changing too fast, I have lived in Aalto for more than 20 years, and the changes I have experienced have not happened as much as in a few months, I don't know what Rentat will look like in the future." Joel said with some emotion.
After dinner, Lucian and John stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window of the small living room on the second floor with a glass of red wine.
Looking at the bright lights of the aristocratic area outside like a galaxy, John suddenly sighed: "Since you were implicated by the witch, I felt that I was having a dream, and I have not woken up to today.
"Me too." Lucian looked out the window, his eyes became deep, although his tone was flat, it was truly heartfelt, and dreams were not impossible.
Although Lucian has basically ruled out the possibility of dreams in his exploration and research of the world, other similar "realities" still lack conclusive evidence to deny them.
John naturally couldn't hear Lucian's implication, and after taking a sip of red wine, he said: "My original dream was to become a real knight, so that my father, mother, Evan and you can all live a rich aristocratic life, but who knew that you completed this goal before me and became a musician......"
"When I become a knight, I am ready to sacrifice in the Northern Fortress or the Dark Mountains Fortress, this is the destination of the knight, but you told me that you are a magician, which has left me in a long confusion......"
"Just when I thought we would never see each other again and began to serve the duchy and the church with peace of mind, Her Majesty took me to the ...... of Rentat again."
As he spoke, he laughed: "When I was used to this kind of being guarded by many strong people, without facing too much danger, and could spend the rest of my life safely, there were often incidents of worshiping demons, demons, and abyssal breath pollution in the kingdom, which made me have to run around and face battles again and again."
He didn't complain, but showed a little excitement, and a completely stable life without a trace of wind and waves made him stop and couldn't become a heavenly knight.
"Life is always full of surprises and will not go the way you expect." Lucian and John clinked glasses, "Moreover, it is very difficult for you to 'eliminate' the bloodline to be promoted to the Heavenly Knight, and there is not enough information in the kingdom for you to learn."
The bloodline nobles have their own best way of tempering their own bloodlines and ways to harmonize with their will, so they are also knights, and nobles with inheritance are more likely to be promoted than new nobles, so they agreed to the Magic Council to announce the knight's previous training methods to cultivate more talents to fight against the church and develop more and more xenoplane spaces - this bloodline tempering method is their real capital and a secret that must be strictly kept.
The "elimination" bloodline itself is rare, and it has basically been absorbed into the ranks of the church's holy knights or night's watches, so none of the nobles in the Holm Kingdom have this bloodline, so naturally there is no corresponding tempering method for John.
Originally, Lucian didn't take this issue to heart, because the bloodline power was created by ancient magicians, and the council kept more detailed information on various bloodlines, which could be used to study the situation of "eliminating" bloodlines to devise a reasonable tempering method for John, but there was no information about "eliminating" bloodlines in the information collected by the council, which made Lucian suspect the source of this bloodline, thinking that it was the result of Viken's research.
John smiled and said indifferently: "All the tempering methods were explored by the previous knights, I am not stupid than them, nor lazier and afraid of death than them, can't I figure it out myself? And Lucian, didn't you also say, don't be bound by past experiences, maybe this is a good thing for me."
He joked humorously.
…………
After leaving Joel's house, Lucian put his hands in the pockets of his long dress, pressed his black top hat relatively low, and walked leisurely around the city of Rentat, watching a city change according to his own ideas was a fulfilling thing.
As he passed through the civilian area where the alchemists gathered, Lucian suddenly saw a dwarf walking towards him, covering his eyes with his right hand and saluting: "Steam is supreme."
Then, he smiled and said, "This gentleman, I don't know if you would like to join our steam church."
Directly attract people to join the club openly? This is completely contrary to his own instructions to the dwarves! Lucian's eyes froze slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
"Hehe." The dwarf laughed, "Although we haven't really met, we have met directly."
He spoke very strangely, but Lucian narrowed his eyes: "Viken?"
