Lucien took a soft breath and flipped the hard-shell book open as if it had opened a new page of fate, and found the first page of the first chapter, "Pronunciation", to his delight but not surprise, to discover that the letters were the same ones used in one of the magic notes.

And for Lucian, who can use the lingua franca fluently, as long as he masters the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters and the preliminary spelling rules, he can try to read the words, compare them with the words and syllables he usually uses, understand their meaning, and also convert the usual syllables into written words through spelling rules and letters, so that under the comparison and memory, learning the lingua franca will be very fast.

Victor didn't notice Lucian's little joy, and spoke the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters several times very seriously and seriously, watching Lucian make some strange marks on the paper, and read it back and forth twice, before he walked to the ordinary boy next to him with satisfaction: "You read it carefully dozens of times, and when I come, if you can read it completely with the book on your back, then I will start teaching you the basic spelling rules and grammar." ”

He was just encouraging Lucian, as a beginner, it was impossible to memorize the thirty-two letters so quickly, except for those guys with a super memory, and this kind of person, as long as he was willing to work hard, could achieve a lot in the career he did.

Lucien carefully read the pronunciation of the thirty-two letters, and then compared it with the pronunciation marks made by himself on the paper in Chinese combined with English and patterns, and after making sure that there was no mistake, he calmed down, concentrated, and opened the library in his soul.

In the library, there is an extra bookshelf called "Lingua Franca", on which there is a piece of paper with strange marks written on it and a black hard-shell book, which are exactly the two in front of me.

Flipping through the black hard-cover book, Lucien unsurprisingly saw that there was only the first page on it, and the back was blank.

So Lucien flipped through the "Lingua Francanon and Elementary Grammar" on the small round table from beginning to end at a very fast speed, and was satisfied to see that the black hard-shell book in the soul library had become complete.

"Exactly as I guessed. Lucien smiled and muttered to himself.

With the help of the Soul Library, Lucien was confident that he would learn the lingua franca in a short period of time, so he began to try to memorize the thirty-two letters.

There were a lot of mistakes in the first time, there were still a lot of mistakes in the second time, and the mistakes in the third time began to decrease, but some of the things that could be recited before were forgotten...... Fifteen times, Lucien forced the pronunciation of the letters to be memorized.

Of course, Lucien understands that this is only an instantaneous memory, and if it is not consolidated for a period of time, it will soon be forgotten, and in the process, Lucien has found that his own spiritual power to stimulate the use of divine magic is a great help for memory.

After Lucien had memorized it twice more, Victor finished teaching a lap and walked over to Lucien again.

There was a faint tiredness on his face, but compared to when Lucien first arrived, he no longer had the kind of pacing back and forth, restless state, and it seemed that diverting his attention would help him relax his mind a lot.

"Lucien, you recite it to me. Victor smiled kindly at Lucien.

Lucien did not hesitate, he directly opened his mouth and memorized it, and when he was halfway through the recitation, he suddenly forgot the pronunciation of a letter, and in a vague way, he found the pronunciation mark directly from the paper in the soul library, and then memorized it smoothly.

It's not that Lucien wants to cheat, but he has limited money, and he can seize the time to learn a little more, even if he doesn't master it, there is a library, and he can digest it afterwards.

Victor had been preparing to correct Lucian's pronunciation mistakes and misremembering, but when he finished memorizing it, he didn't react, and after a while, he asked suspiciously, "Have you learned pronunciation before?"

This question, the voice was slightly louder, so that the others who were immersed in hard work raised their heads curiously and looked at Lucian.

"Nope. Lucien shook his head in disapproval.

Victor did not doubt it, bowed his head slightly, and praised: "Your memory is very good, very rare." Okay, then I'll start teaching you the rules of spelling. ”

The others glanced at Lucian in amazement, they didn't expect his memory to be so outstanding, of course, there were also those with ridicule and contempt, thinking that Lucian must have learned pronunciation before, otherwise how could he completely remember it in a short time, this is just pretending, in order to deceive Mr. Victor's favor, maybe he can be accepted as a real student who can study music in the future.

But this kind of trivial matter did not cause much trouble, especially since three of the aristocratic students were already studying music with Victor, and they quickly lowered their heads again and continued to look at the music score and music theory knowledge.

After nearly an hour, Lucien learned the spelling rules without distractions, and at this time, Lucien finally realized clearly and thoroughly in this environment:

Time is money!

Because an extra day of study costs a lot of money!

"All right, ladies and gentlemen, relax, eat some fruit, have a cup of tea, and then continue studying. Victor seemed to be in good spirits, and made his way to the second floor as the servants served tea and a few plates of cut fruit.

The tea is served in a pale white, simple-patterned, handle-like glazed porcelain cup, with jasmine, orange slices and other things added to show the orange-red color, and the fruit has Lucian found familiar, and there are also strange types that Lucien has never seen at all.

The young man, dressed in ordinary aristocratic attire and with dark blue hair like the sea, smiled and said to his companions, "Mr. Victor seems to have some inspiration, and if the inspiration continues, I am afraid that today's study will be over." ”

He looked a few years older than Lucian, with long narrow eyes, a high nose, and a thin sheet of music in his hand, and in several aristocratic students, there was a faint feeling of being crowded, except for an aristocratic girl in a burgundy dress, sitting dignifiedly, but replying in a lazy tone:

"Lott, if Mr. Victor finishes early, he will definitely make up for it at the weekend, and if he can make a new piece, we will be able to practice with the orchestra in the next few days. I don't want to just do monotonous music theory and normal flute training, I can only improve faster by practicing with a regular symphony orchestra. ”

She was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and had a bright appearance, long flaming hair, thick, sensual lips, and a waist that was not as thin as her cousins had been, as if it were about to break, for it would make it difficult to breathe, and it was difficult to breathe a flute.

Lott looked at the red-haired girl and couldn't help laughing: "The orchestra that collaborated with Mr. Victor, a few days ago, a handsome and beautiful principal like the silver moon came, Phyllis, the two of us were accompanying Mr. Victor together, you want to practice with the orchestra so much, do you like him?"

The principal of the symphony orchestra is the first violinist, and when there is no conductor, he also plays the role of conductor.

"Don't insult me with your playboy heart, I just think his violin is very good, much better than the original principal gentleman. Phyllis retorted, but with a strange blush on her face, "Don't you think he did a great job playing the 'Violin Sonata No. 1 in a Cappella G minor'?

At the mention of music, Lott immediately became serious and excited, and began to discuss various musical knowledge and compositions with Phyllis, and several other aristocratic students, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time, were obviously very interested in the topic, and even the brown-haired girl among the commoner students whom they had been treating coldly couldn't help but interject to make an insightful remark, which was also nodded in agreement.

At Aalto, music is another lingua franca.

Of course, the aristocratic students still consciously or unconsciously ignore the commoner students and Lucien, and the commoner students also consciously or unconsciously ignore Lucien and try to get close to the aristocratic students.

There are no cold words, no sarcasm and ridicule, only deep estrangement and coldness.

Perhaps, in the minds of the aristocratic students, the common citizens and the poor are not worthy of being treated with a bad attitude at all, after all, they do not even have a common language, but habitually exclude them from their own circle, which is a kind of contempt that they do not take very seriously.

Lucien didn't care about these at all, racing against time and studying in a hurry, like a sponge that had dried up for a long time, being thrown back into the ocean of knowledge, greedily absorbing nutrients.

But from their discussion, Lucien occasionally heard some sentences and humming, and found that the music of this world, whether it is the scale or the melody, is very similar to that on earth, but it is different in the expression of specific musical symbols.

"What a serious bunch of students. Lucien glanced up at their eager discussion, took a sip of the odd-tasting black tea with jasmine petals, ate a piece of fruit that might have been Sydney, and continued to concentrate on his studies.

Mr. Victor's inspiration did not last long, and he walked down after ten minutes, looking tired and agitated.

However, after teaching the students seriously, his irritability improved a lot.

After an hour of struggle, Lucien finally learned most of the spelling rules before the end and memorized them in the Soul Library.

At ten o'clock at four, the study was over, and everyone got up and left the hall except for Lot, Phyllis, and a noble boy named Herodotus, who had stayed behind to learn the instrument.

Lucien recalled what he had learned today, walking very slowly, while the three commoner students, exchanging and laughing with each other, walked briskly at the front, their eyes often looked at the two noble students in the middle who were discussing music, but they did not dare to get too close, as for Lucian, whether they were the two noble students, a man and a woman, they only glanced at it lightly occasionally.

Out of the gate, two carriages came from nowhere, the brown horses were tall and sturdy, snorting, and then the two aristocratic students boarded the carriages sent by their respective families under the envious gaze of the commoner students, and slowly left.

Regardless of the family's situation, as long as they do not starve to death, most nobles will choose to maintain a minimum of decency.

The three civilian students watched quietly as the carriage disappeared behind the tall trees around the corner before leaving in the direction of the Purple Lily District.

And Lucien was like a nerd, silently reciting what he had learned today, strolling down the boulevard.

............

"You studied with Mr. Victor? He's a great musician. Oh, little Evans, are you really going to carry on Uncle Joel's dream of being a musician. At dinner, Joel jokingly said when he learned about Lucian's teacher who was learning words.

Lucien responded with the same humor: "Of course, I will become a great musician in the future." ”

After a merry dinner, Lucien returned home early, lay down on the smashed bed, opened the library, opened the magic notebook written in the lingua franca, and tried to spell out the pronunciation and decipher the meaning of the words.

Of course, because of the inevitable accent problems, vocabulary accumulation problems, and the relationship between not mastering grammar, Lucien did not expect to be able to read the notes and start learning magic by himself in just one day of study, just to review and consolidate what he had learned during the day.
