In October, Aalto is sweet but slightly cold like a fruit on a cake, and the nearby vast area is dyed with a layer of golden color, and the city is full of fallen leaves, creating a poetic picture, and with the faintly audible melodious music, everything seems so peaceful and beautiful that it deserves the title of "Music Capital".

"Only the Melzer Black Forest is always black...... "On the banks of the Belém River, which flows quietly, Natasha looked at the Black Forest on the other side and said with feeling, her long purple hair fluttering back by the autumn wind.

This Black Forest has left her with many memories of hardship, pain and gain, whether it is the rigorous knightly training as a girl or the encounters that happened inside, it is an experience that she will never forget in this life.

"Black fir, a tree endemic to the vicinity of the Black Mountains, is suspected to have been contaminated by the breath of some otherdimensional dimension......," Lucien said in a polymath tone.

Natasha couldn't help but be amused by his serious answer: "It doesn't mean anything to me because it's black all the year round, what makes sense is that I was once chased and killed by kobolds inside, eating tree fruits so much that my whole body was in pain, I was poisoned and paralyzed and fell to the ground and couldn't move, and I was wounded in the abdomen and could only be carried by someone to escape......"

She understood that Lucien was deliberately distracting herself by answering this way, returning herself from a "musician" to a "knight", so that she could have a happier "day trip to Aalto".

"You've been hunted down by kobolds, I think with your fighting talent, even if you don't stimulate your bloodline power. It's still no problem to crush the kobold. Lucien asked with interest, in his mind, Natasha had been a "Valkyrie" since childhood.

The corners of Natasha's mouth twitched: "There are less than ten kobolds, I can easily handle it, the problem is that there were hundreds of kobolds at that time, and one can cast spells with talent!"

"What the hell did you do to get the kobolds of several tribes to hunt you down?" Lucien said amusedly.

Natasha let out a "uh" and raised her right arm: "I don't remember exactly!"

"Don't you always say you have a good memory......

"Everyone makes mistakes, but I can't remember it clearly!"

The two walked slowly on the banks of the clear Belém River, enjoying the familiar river breeze. He smiled and recalled the past.

Suddenly. Natasha stopped, pointed to the remote riverbank full of garbage in front of her, and looked at Lucian with a wicked smile: "Is this the place where you harvested the first pot of gold in your life?"

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness the Princess, for throwing away a nightingale veil. I succeeded in taking the first step out of poverty. "Looking at the garbage heap. Lucien was still quite touched in his heart.

Over there. A few poor people in ragged clothes were rummaging through the stench for something of value, and on the embankment next to them stood a strong, round-shouldered man with his hands folded and supervising them. Even in the Golden Moon, he only wore a thin brown coat.

Natasha exhaled slightly: "This place is still controlled by the gang after all. ”

"After the Aaronic gang, it seems that there is a new gang in Aalto City. Lucien was not surprised, only sighed, with Aalto's actual situation, it was only a matter of time before a new gang was born.

The gangster noticed a man and a woman on the riverside road looking at him and the poor people rummaging for garbage below, and wanted to warn them not to meddle, but when he saw that they were dressed like nobles, he did not dare to be reckless, turned his head, pretended to appreciate the river, and quietly watched the other man's actions.

Lucien and Natasha did nothing, continued to bask in the river breeze, and walked towards the city gate of the market district, which made the gangster breathe a long sigh of relief.

It was tea time in Rentat, and it happened to be the most tired and least active time for Aalto's gatekeepers, so they glanced at Lucian and Natasha, who had changed their appearance slightly, and saw that they were all well-dressed and temperamental, so they waved them into the city gate.

The familiar and noisy market area, the lingua franca of Aalto's accent, and the completely different but equally familiar clothing style of Rentat, gave Lucian and Natasha the most intuitive shock at the first time.

"The market area hasn't changed at all, as if we never left...... "Natasha often goes to the manor outside the city from this gate, and often wears a veil to come here in search of strange and interesting things, so she is no stranger to the market area.

Lucien nodded, taking a deep breath, the familiar smell of roast, spices, dyes, smoke, wine, and all sorts of stenches made him feel like he had gone back to the beginning, struggling to make a living in the market district.

"I used to carry goods here, and I wasn't strong enough to be overwhelmed by a bag ......of goods," Lucien pointed to some of the small shops down the street.

Natasha listened with a smile and followed him through the market area, pointing to a certain shop from time to time:

"This grocery store is 50 years old, and when I first came here, my grandfather was entertaining guests, and now it looks like a grandchild......"

“...... The boss recognized me when I bought the ancient lyre and almost fainted......"

Lucien also has memories of the market area: "...... It was on this street that John and I beat up all the Aaronic gang thugs......"

That was the beginning of my initial identification with and real integration into this world.

Pedestrians watched the two men and women, who looked like an aristocratic couple, strolling leisurely through the market area, pointing and pointing from time to time, and it was strange that Lucian and Natasha could not care about their gaze.

As they walked, the two walked through the market district and into the administrative district, where the number of pedestrians began to decrease and the streets gradually became quieter, with only street musicians and bards playing different tunes, creating a sea of music that made people feel sublimated while strolling.

Natasha listened carefully for a moment before laughing: "Serenade for strings in G major...... 'Moonlight'...... second movement of 'New Country'...... 'Pathétique'...... Dedicated to, "To Sylvia...... I can't believe you've been away from Aalto for so long. Your music is still played regularly, and the more street artists and bards play, the more popular it is, and classic music is a classic at all times......"

"There's your march too......" The Rava trees on both sides fluttered with golden leaves, and Lucien listened attentively and made out the different tunes.

Natasha hummed a melody proudly, and then sighed slightly, "But compared to before, the frequency of your repertoire has been greatly reduced, and most of the music you heard just now is the latest and best music." ”

Both of them followed Aalto's musical development and were no strangers to the outstanding ones.

"That's a good thing, things are constantly changing. Always clinging to the past. Nothing improved at all only showed that Aalto's music was dead, and fortunately, that was not what we heard. Lucien didn't mind being authentic.

Natasha didn't answer for a moment. Instead, he pulled Lucien to stop outside a restaurant. Listen to the street musician at the door playing "Pathos" on the piano. It was recognized as a very difficult work, but he played it so freely that many Aalto, who knew music, stopped to listen.

His early atmosphere of depression, bitterness, pain and tragedy is very well created. Therefore, when the last movement plays out a burst of high-spirited notes with dazzling movements, it can especially bring out the emotions of the surrounding audience.

After the piano performance, there was warm applause all around.

The young pianist seemed a little unaware of his popularity, and sat behind the piano in a daze, not responding for a long time.

He is a music lover who came to Aalto from a small town to pursue his dreams, and he thinks that he has a solid foundation in music, has excellent talent, and is sure to achieve extraordinary achievements, but the encounters of these months have left him in a strong self-doubt, making him miserable, wandering, depressed and depressed, and the constraints of life have forced him to accept the demands of the restaurant owner.

"Very good, not a pale performance, with an emotional resonance. Natasha clapped softly, then pulled out a coin and prepared to throw it to the busker like the rest of the audience.

However, her movements were stopped by Lucien, who said amusedly, "Are you going to give him the 'Empress Gold Coins'?"

Due to the expulsion of the Southern Church, the Kingdom of Holm is also reminting coins, which are different from the common currency, and the Empress's gold coin is equivalent to the Gintal, except that the Empress's head is engraved on it.

Natasha laughed dryly: "Ha, didn't notice, do you have a Jintale?"

Lucien shook his head, took the Empress's gold coin, rubbed it lightly with his thumb, and then the Empress's gold coin turned into a golden taler.

The young performer came to his senses, thanking the audience for their kindness, when suddenly he saw a glittering gold coin fall in front of him.

"Quintal?" he was stunned, too generous, right?

A gentle voice sounded in his ears: "It is very rare to play very well, to integrate your feelings and understanding into the music, so that this piece has a distinct personal style, but there are still some problems with your playing and understanding of music......"

"Question?" the performer hadn't come back to his senses, and then he heard Lucian's explanations and analyses one by one, each of which hit his heart, because most of it was something he had always felt awkward about, and some of it was an experience that he felt very satisfied, but only after listening to it did he realize that it was ridiculously wrong.

After a while, he came to his senses, and found that the gentleman who had instructed him and his lady had gone a long way, leaving only two backs walking side by side.

He wanted to catch up and say thank you, but the restaurant owner was still staring at him, so he could only say loudly: "Xie Lu Xie!"

What a gentleman of good character, no, it must be a musician!

Lucien didn't look back, but raised his hand to signal that he had received it.

"You really enjoy being a teacher. Natasha smiled at Lucien beside her.

Lucien smiled: "It's not that I like to be a teacher, but it's a kind of gratitude, if I hadn't met Mr. Victor and didn't get his exceptional teaching, I would definitely not have achieved later, so when I met someone who needed guidance, I would give some guidance, maybe their life was short of this driving force, hehe, I was giving back to the society." ”

"Give back to society......" Natasha thought of the joke of "revenge on society", and her expression seemed to be smiling.

As they listened, the two soon came to the vicinity of the Aalto Musicians Guild and saw the unique "Dancing Flame" building, known for its light but complex asymmetrical beauty.

"It's still like this, it hasn't changed......" Lucien and Natasha exclaimed at the same time, but Natasha quickly shook her head, looked around and said: "I don't know if this is good or bad, the places I passed before show that in the years since I left Aalto, it has hardly changed, as if frozen in time, and Rentart, maybe this morning is the same, and the afternoon is a completely different 'face'." ”

Lentat, which is in the midst of a period of great development, is undergoing a lot of infrastructure construction, and as Lucien predicts, the whole city is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

"Aalto might be more suited to the current style of music without mentioning the lives of ordinary people......," Lucien said without pejorativeism.

"Also, the way Rentat looks now always feels out of place with the current symphonic style, and it should be something else...... "Natasha nodded earnestly.

"Different cultures, different eras, will definitely give birth to different musical ......," Lucien said sincerely, thinking that maybe one day Rentart would develop rock music......

Natasha was just about to speak, but her expression suddenly sank: "Uh, Mr. Victor......"

Victor, Lucian's music teacher, came out of the Aalto Musicians' Guild, and surrounded by many musicians and performers, boarded the carriage and drove towards the chant hall, looking very high-status.

Lucien watched the scene quietly, his footsteps not moving.

"Not going to meet him?" Natasha looked at Lucien with silver-purple eyes.

Lucien shook his head, and said in a slightly erratic voice, "There's no need......

It would disrupt his life, and it was not easy for the church to not pay attention to him.

Natasha laughed and deliberately diverted the topic: "Then let's go to the chant hall to listen to the concert?

"Okay. "Lucien has no opinion, that anti-magic array has no effect on the legend. (To be continued......)
