The carriage was driven by a coachman in his forties and fifties, and when the old count was alive, he already belonged to the "Bern" manor, and had transported many nobles to and fro, so that the carriage drove so smoothly that Lucien in the carriage did not feel that it was an ordinary rammed earth road between the estates.

Quietly thinking about things, after an unknown amount of time, Lucien noticed that the carriage had stopped.

"Mr. Evans, you are outside Sir Vane's manor, do you need me to report it?" asked the coachman, looking back and whispering, for in his experience, a gentleman would not surrender himself to speak to the gatekeeper, but that such a thing would be done by a servant or a coachman.

Lucien smiled gently, "No, my friend is also a knight's squire, and I am not superior to him." ”

As long as it can stimulate the blood power, the status of the official knight is much higher than that of the ordinary musician, it is a real nobleman, of course, Lucien is now a quasi-knight.

Guarding the gate were Ian and Dorag, whom Lucien had met, and when they saw the carriage emblazoned with the flaming bull coat of arms of the Hain family driving towards the gate of the manor, they immediately held their heads high and prepared to welcome their honored guests.

But to their surprise, out of the carriage came out of the pauper boy whom they had seen before, who had overwhelmed themselves by asking questions, and who was also wearing a white shirt with wide cuffs, a black dress jacket, and a handsome appearance, like a real nobleman.

Surprised, it wasn't until Lucien stopped in front of them that Ian came back to his senses: "Hello, are you here to find John?" The carriage of the Hayne family, and Lucien, who looked like a different person, made Ian forget the past humiliation for a while, and was full of politeness.

"Yes, please inform John. Lucien had almost forgotten about Ian

Ian nodded and was about to turn around and walk into the manor, when Dorag hesitated, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Evans?"

After the success of the Chant Hall concert, even though John was not a show-off and braggart man, he could not help but tell the story of his friend Evans among his acolytes, and told him about his musical talent and previous experiences, and the unprecedentedly enthusiastic response to that concert, and the praise of the Grand Duke, the cardinal, and the princess, so that seeing Lucien, who was a pauper in the past and is now being picked up by the Hain family's carriage, Dorag quickly connected him with the genius musician Evans.

"Yes, I'm a good friend of John. Lucien replied calmly.

Dorag said with some excitement: "I have heard of your 'fate', just the other day at Sir Vane's banquet, it is an incomparable work, I love it so much, please forgive me for my previous attitude towards you.

Enthusiastic, sincere, and excited, Lucien didn't expect that Dorag was still a literary young man who really loved music, which was not very harmonious with his thick arms and strong chest.

However, this is Aalto, and this kind of thing is normal.

"Thank you for your compliment, I am very happy and proud. Lucien replied politely.

Ian on the side showed an embarrassed smile and said, "It turns out that you are Mr. Evans, please forget about your previous rudeness." ”

He was not an avid music lover like Dorag, but the knight Vane he served was very fond of and admired the "Symphony of Destiny", and even listened to it at banquets, so he had to express kindness on the surface, but in his heart, Ian still hated Lucian.

Seeing this scene, Lucien could only sigh that once his identity and status changed, the attitudes of other people around him would also change drastically.

When Ian went in to look for John, Dorag was still in a state of excitement, he rubbed his hands and looked at Lucian, but he didn't know what to say, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence that was: "Mr. Evans, can I invite you to my house?"

Lucien was a little embarrassed, so he could only find a reason to refuse.

After a while, John walked out with Ian and asked suspiciously, "Lucian, why are you here, I'll be back at noon." ”

Lucien wasn't lying when he told the cultists that John was going home on Saturday, but he had moved the time forward by half a day.

"Some of the things that have been settled, let's talk about it in the carriage. Lucien took John into the carriage, and the old coachman, who was very intrigued, tied the horse to the stake, went to the side, took out a leaf similar to tobacco, lit it, and put it under his nose and smelled it.

John knew that Lusean was not a reckless man, and although he was full of doubts, he listened attentively.

As Lucien spoke, John's face turned pale, his hands clenched tightly, and when he heard the three severed fingers, his mouth made a sound of teeth clenching, but he kept quiet, did not shout, did not curse, and waited until Lucien finished speaking, and then let out a long breath, and was speechless for a long time.

Lucien accompanied him to calm down, and again did not speak.

"Lucian, you don't have to blame yourself, although it is because you became the musical advisor of Her Royal Highness the princess that the devil's followers have targeted their father, mother and Aven, but it is these villains who are at fault, not you, not your motivation to pursue the path of music. Even if there is no such thing, as long as you or I have the possibility of contact with His Majesty the Grand Duke and His Royal Highness the Princess, they will still do the same thing, and we can't hold ourselves ourselves with the mistakes of the villains. ”

After John recovered a little of his emotions, the first thing he said was to comfort Lucian, fearing that Lucian's inability to let go of this incident would affect his musical path.

Lucien didn't expect John to say this, a little warm feeling emerged, and the little self-blame in his heart that did not affect his emotions slowly disappeared: "Thank you for your comfort, John, I understand, we will never know that a bad guy will hurt us because of what we have done." ”

After confirming that Joel's family had been rescued by Her Royal Highness the Princess's knights, John immediately offered to take a leave of absence to return to visit.

"Wait, John. Lucien took out the black bag containing the Moonlight Rose, "There are twenty grams of Moonlight Rose here." ”

John looked at the bag solemnly, just now he had already learned the origin of the Moonlight Rose from Lucien's mouth, and after hesitating for more than ten seconds, he took the bag firmly, and did not shirk: "Thank you, Lucian, I will definitely stimulate the blood power, only in this way can I have the ability to protect my family and protect my friends." ”

He didn't mention the words of returning the money to Lucian, because he knew that he couldn't afford to repay such a large sum of money before he activated the power of the bloodline, and if he could successfully stimulate the bloodline to become a knight, it would be a simple matter to protect Lucian with the status of a true nobleman, and repay Kintal.

"But you can't be in too much of a hurry, follow Sir Vane's arrangement step by step. By the way, John's matter about the other twenty grams, please be sure to keep it a secret for me. Lucien told him that the reason he had just told John was that when the cultists promised to help him stimulate his blood power as a reward, he offered to provide him with moonshine roses, so he used twenty grams, but this kind of thing was not mentioned by the princess for fear of anger, and only told Natasha that it was the cultist's direct and non-refusable "help".

John replied with a worried smile on his parents' expressions, "Don't worry, I'm better at keeping secrets than dead people." ”

In his opinion, Lucien was forced to delay and disguise.

After making up for the worst omissions, Lucien asked the coachman back and drove the carriage back to Aalto City.

The appearance of the Hain family carriage in the ghetto caused a small sensation, and although most of the paupers were unable to distinguish the meaning of each coat of arms and the meaning of each coat of arms as the polymath did, they knew some of Aalto's most famous families.

Joel, Alyssa, and Evan have been sent back by the Church, and it seems that they have received no strong information from them.

Seeing John and Lucien get out of the carriage, Avan, who had matured a lot, suddenly cried very sadly, as if he wanted to wash away the unpleasant and sad memory.

John touched Aven's head and patted him on the back: "It's all over, everything is over, and with the blessing of the Lord, it will be fine." ”

Lucien hugged Joel and Alyssa, combining apologies, worries, and joy.

"It's none of your business, it's all over. When Joel and Alyssa comforted Lucien in the hands of the cultists, they both thought that they would not be able to escape death, but they did not expect to be rescued by the princess's knight, which made them more tolerant and understanding in addition to believing in the god of truth.

After more than ten minutes of mutual comfort, Lucien learned from Joel and Alisa about the contents of the Church and Duchy intelligence part of the inquiry, mainly to know the characteristics of some cultists in the Church from Joel and them, as well as why the guards and knights escaped before they had time to kill the hostages.

But Joel and Alyssa didn't have the energy to pay attention to their surroundings when they were beaten, and then they were suddenly stunned by a loud noise, and when they woke up, they saw the princess's knight, and they didn't know what was going on in the middle of the road, and the rest of the hostages were about the same, even if the few didn't faint, they barely heard anything in the severe tinnitus.

The only thing that puzzled the interrogators was that Joel and Alyssa fainted after being taken out of the cell, but woke up in the cell, but this question and "the guard knight escaped before he had time to kill the hostages" can get a more reasonable explanation and process.

After the loud bang, because there were other things to take care of first, and it was not yet the last moment when the hostages needed to be cleared, the guard knight threw Joel and them back to the cell, so that they would not escape, and when the church and Camille and Natasha attacked, the guard knight had no time to return, so they fled or died in the chaos.

As Alyssa recounted these events with tears in her eyes, there was a knock on the door, and Lucien looked back to see that it was Correa, an old acquaintance, and another church guard she didn't know.

"It's just that the high-ranking knight squire has come, and it seems that I am not much suspected. Lucien said secretly in his heart.

Correa solemnly and politely invited Lucien into a small room and asked him what had happened, and Lucian told him whatever he had told Natasha, except for the things that stimulated the strength of his veins.

Taking notes, Correa stood up and thanked with solemn courtesy: "Your Excellency Bishop has commanded me to thank you, if it weren't for your intelligence, the Lord's night guards would have been completely defiled by evil

In the eyes of the church, although it was a bit of a coincidence, this coincidence was in favor of its side, and if it weren't for Lucian's intelligence, the Night's Watch would have suffered even more losses, or even wiped out.

"The professor who has only been in Aalto for more than three months" cannot be equated with Lucien, who has been living here, this is the premise of all judgments made by the church, although Lucien is a neighbor of the witch, it is possible that he has been in contact with the professor, but he is only suspected of having contact, with his merits and the status appreciated by Her Royal Highness the princess, it is difficult to arrest and torture, and if there is really contact, secretly observing and not doing things that alarm Lucian can have a better chance of catching the cunning and vicious "professor"!

After being questioned by the church, Lucien finally returned to his normal life, began his busy music studies and magic analysis, and let the Alisa family move to their own garden villa temporarily, after all, the security in the Gisu district is far better than that in the Adjan district.

Lucien never looked at the magic circle mark in the corner, and he didn't even do the most post-processing of the magic laboratory, because he was worried that the church was closely monitoring the neighborhood and looking for the professor.

On this day, Victor began to teach Lucian, Lot, and Phyllis their "canon" form, a basic form of polyphonic music, in which multiple voices imitate the same melody and appear one after the other, intersecting, chasing each other, intertwining with each other, until the last chord merges.

It's beautiful and easy to learn, so even beginners can compose similar chords, so it's a great choice to try to create when you're starting to learn polyphonic music.

"Actually, Lucien, in your Symphony of Destiny, you have unconsciously used part of the Canon technique, and it seems that you have learned a lot of things on your own in the music library. Victor praised Lucian.

Lucien was thinking about something else: "Although the famous Canon in D major (John = Pahebel Canon) has a similar melody in this world, composed by a musician more than 80 years ago, with a similarity of more than 90 percent, I can adapt it into a piano piece based on Pahebel's Canon, which can save time and have a certain amount of innovation to meet the requirements of a concert within a year." ”

In Lucien's sense, John = Pach Belcanon is a little more beautiful, and the arrangement is the best way to put together a concert repertoire in a short period of time, and of course, "original", finale music is definitely needed.
