Chapter 63: The Hall of Psalms
The night sky was dark and deep, dotted with countless stars, and Lucien once again used the star power in meditation to refine his spiritual power and soul.
Among these star forces, the star power line from its own destiny main star is the clearest and easiest to control.
Little by little, the spiritual power was dyed with pure starlight, and spread to the soul, making the soul seem to emit a faint glimmer of brilliance.
This layer of light slowly melted into his soul, and Lucien only felt that his soul was growing stronger with a speed that he could clearly feel.
Before becoming a high-level magic apprentice, the growth and strength of mental power and soul were so obvious, so it only took one year for the witch to go from a trainee magic apprentice to a high-level magician, and in this, Lucien was not slower than her.
Under the effect of the Storm Elixir, Lucian's spiritual power was stronger than usual, so the star power that could be mastered and the star power used to refine himself were more than usual, and soon, Lucian's soul had a feeling of fullness.
However, there is also a force that expands outward in this feeling of fullness, which makes Lucien see an opportunity and does not stop meditating.
The soul seemed to be expanding and contracting, compressing and merging the star power with itself, and finally, for the first time, Lucien discovered that the soul seemed to have a thick, condensed illusion.
After the meditation ended, the hallucinations disappeared, but Lucien felt that his mind was clearer than ever, and he understood that he had finally become a full-fledged magic apprentice, and that his soul had a little mutation that others could not detect, and that he could effectively weaken the attacks that controlled the mind, confused the spirit, and suppressed the will, and the recovery speed was nearly doubled compared to before, and the mental power sensing became a little clearer from very vague.
"But such a breakthrough, the damage to the body is really not small, even if you insist on exercising, but if you can't become a full-fledged magician in the future and use magic to prolong your life, I'm really afraid that I won't live to be sixty years old. The effect of the Tempest Elixir's overdraft potential was gone, leaving Lucien feeling deeply exhausted and weak, and after checking his condition, he fell into a deep sleep again.
After becoming a full-fledged magic apprentice, Lucian's mental power will usher in a stage of rapid growth, until the small obstacle of a high-level magic apprentice.

In the next few days, with the help of Lucian, the "original author", Victor successfully perfected the melody and details and arranged them into a symphony, and then the orchestra finally played the music skillfully when Othello came to listen to it.
After listening to the Symphony of Fate, Othello stood up in the empty recital hall and applauded for a long time: "Before, it was impossible to accurately judge the value of this piece of music based on melody alone, but now I am relieved, this must be a piece of music that can cause a sensation, and again, Victor, you have a good student." ”
"And, Lucian, you are an unimaginable genius, but genius is always criticized, especially if you are not even proficient at playing the piano. If you can't keep the pace of writing a great piece of work every year or two, you should be prepared for an overwhelming flood of doubts and criticism. ”
"It's not a good thing for you to be famous too early. ”
Othello, still regretting that Lucien did not devote his musical talents to serious religious subjects, shook his head and turned away.
Seeing Othello's back disappear into the door of the concert hall, Victor said to Lucien with some guilt: "Being hit in my heart by this piece that day made me too excited and impulsive, although no one will suspect you of plagiarism, although genius doesn't need a reason, but I didn't take into account the pressure that becoming famous too early will bring you." ”
"It's okay, Mr. Victor, I have a tough heart, and pressure only gives me motivation. Although Lucien himself also doesn't want to become famous too early, since it has reached this point, it is better to make good use of this fame, at least he can start to contact high society, and he will not want to buy moonshine rose powder and have no place to buy it, and maybe he can also earn gold taler with this fame, and create conditions for his magic learning.
Victor nodded: "I believe in your will to face difficulties and pressures, but in the past year, I will try my best to block other things for you, so that you can concentrate on mastering the piano, otherwise a talented musician will not even be able to play the instrument well, and will be strongly questioned." ”
After saying this, Victor continued: "Two days later, you and Lott will follow me backstage in the Chant Hall, and as the creator of the music, you can invite some friends to the concert if you want, but the number of people should not be too large, keep it to less than five people. ”
Although the Chant Hall concert is only for the upper class, and the ticket is equivalent to the savings of a commoner for one to two years, that is, a quintal, it will humanely reserve a certain number of seats for musicians, conductors, performers, etc., so that their relatives and friends can participate.
"Really? That's great. Thinking of Uncle Joel's wishes, Lucien replied happily, for he did not know when he would leave the City of Chant, and whether he would have the opportunity to hold a concert in the Chant Hall.
Although Lucien himself does not feel regretful, and even breathes a sigh of relief, if he can take advantage of the moment to fulfill Joel's wishes, Lucien will of course be very happy, "Uncle Joel, Aunt Elisa, John, Evan, plus Elena, there are exactly five people. ”
............
In the small living room of Elisa's house, Lucien took advantage of the time for dinner to bring up the matter: "Uncle Joel, Aunt Elisa, Evan, it is like this, my teacher, Mr. Victor, will have a concert in the Chant Hall on Saturday night, so I can invite some friends to attend, would you like to go?"
"Chant Hall, is it really possible?" Aunt Alisa asked excitedly, it is the dream of every Aalto person to attend a concert in the Chant Hall, but the expensive tickets and hidden discrimination make it impossible for poor people like Alisa and most civilians to enter the Chant Hall.
Seeing Lucien nodding in affirmative, Joel said happily but puzzledly, "Isn't it only musicians' relatives and friends who are invited?"
"Maybe a friend of the musician's student can do the same......," said Elisa, who thought of Lucien's reason, and Evan said with a glint in his eyes, "to the Chant Hall, to a concert? ”
Lucien thought that every guest attending the concert would be given a list of pieces with the name of the piece, composer, arranger, etc., so he replied without concealment: "I have helped Mr. Victor finish a work, so I am entitled to invite my friends." ”
"You?
He was going to say, "Little Evans, it's not a good habit to lie. "But thinking about how Lucien has behaved all along, he doesn't look like a person who lies about such things, so he simply asks rhetorically.
Lucien didn't explain, and smiled, "Uncle Joel, you'll know when the time comes." ”
Joel shook his head and laughed: "Little Evans, you've grown up and have your own secrets, although I still can't believe it, but maybe our little Evans is really a musical genius? We have to rent a few dresses, wait for the concert to start, and wait for you to compose the music." I don't think you'll let me down. No music was heard, and Joel's surprise quickly recovered, and he looked forward with half-believing.
Aunt Alisa's face was ruddy, as if she was several years younger, and then said with some concern: "We will tell John, but he doesn't know if he can come, and it would be a pity if he missed the performance of your first piece." ”
......
As for Lucien's invitation, Elena, who had already accepted his excellent work, was very happy, and nodded her head without hesitation, for her who wanted to develop on the road of music, the Chant Hall concert was even more significant, and it showed that Lucien really regarded himself as a friend.
............
On Saturday, at eight o'clock in the evening, outside the chant hall, horse-drawn carriages slowly drove in, all pulled by mighty and sturdy dragon-scale horses.
Some of the carriages were gorgeous, some were low-key, some were exquisite, some were atmospheric, but on the outside of the carriage were engraved with their own family badges, and a well-dressed gentleman and ladies got out of the carriage, took the music list from the hands of the attendants, and led them into the foyer of the chant hall, and greeted each other.
"Lord Count, I didn't expect you to have returned to Aalto from your domain. A middle-aged man saluted a man with fiery red hair, and the other nobles around him also had great respect for this man, because he was the head of one of the Aalto families, Count Hain, and Phyllis's uncle.
Count Hain smiled slightly: "This is the concert of my little niece teacher, and Aalto has been doing a lot of things recently, of course we old fellows have to come back to serve His Majesty the Grand Duke." He was a third-level knight, with the "Flame" bloodline, although he was already in his fifties, he could not see any signs of old age, and his son, thirty-two-year-old Harrington, had just become a sixth-level heavenly knight, consolidating the family's position.
"You are a loyal knight, Lord Earl. The other nobles praised.
Earl Hain took the music list, looked at it casually, and smiled a little curiously: "Lucien Evans? ”
A noble lady Yvette wondered: "Phyllis has been helping her teacher prepare for the concert during this time, and I haven't seen her much, but when I went to the manor a few months ago for a vacation, she didn't mention this Lucien at all, which is really strange." ”
"Then let's look forward to the work of this strange composer. Earl Hain said as he walked to the foyer of the Chant Hall, handing his sword to the guards and letting them examine their belongings.
Because Grand Duke Vaorit was to participate, the inspection was relatively strict to prevent the assassination from happening.
However, the guards did not check too carefully, because the entire chant hall was arranged with a super-large anti-magic array, and the amount of magic and supernatural power under the legendary realm would be banned, which was a masterpiece that the church took more than a hundred years to complete.
Not long after Count Hain entered, two groups of guards wearing red uniforms with a golden stripe on their left chest ran in unison to clear the way, and surrounded by them, two dark purple low-key carriages drove up.
