The next morning, after getting the score for the piano piece with Joseph, Lucien got up to exercise and had breakfast prepared by the cook, and strolled to the Musicians' Association of the Borough.

It was close to nine o'clock, and the wide street was filled with melodious and beautiful music, which brought out the fame of Aalto's music capital, and to Lucien's amusement and strangeness, he was already able to hear the first movement of the string serenade in G major, which he had played only the previous night, and the lively melody that was straight to the point was heard from time to time in every corner: "Could it be that some musician sold the score to the bard and the street performer, so that they could have an extra piece to perform?"

I have to say that in terms of entertainment, popularity, and circulation, this piece of music is indeed better than the Symphony of Destiny.

In the atmosphere of music, Lucien walked into the hall of the association, and as soon as Elena, who was in charge of the reception today, saw him, she immediately gave a look of something and motioned for Lucien to come over.

"Elena?" Lucien asked in a strange whisper, standing in front of the wooden cabinet.

Elena covered her mouth and snickered a few times before she said, "Lucien, several noble ladies have come to you before, wanting to learn piano and music with you, hehe, among them is Miss Phyllis's good friend Yvette. By the way, here are letters from musicians from nearby countries who want to discuss symphonic composition with you. ”

Recently, it happened to be the time period when the issue of "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald" was fully distributed in the central and western countries of the mainland and received feedback from "readers".

Lucien took the large handful of letters, looked upstairs, was a little scared of Yvette and the others, thought about it, and said directly to Elena: "Elena, if there is something similar in the future, you can tell them that because I am concentrating on composing a piece of music, in the past year, except for serving as the musical advisor to Her Royal Highness the Princess, I will no longer accept any invitations and no music students." Hehe, my own musical foundation is still very weak. ”

"Mr. Evans, do you have the inspiration to create music again?" Casey, who was next to him, heard the conversation between the two, his eyes widened, and he stared at Lucien very curiously.

Lucien nodded and jokingly replied, "Hehe, because I want to have a concert of my own as soon as possible." "It's kind of a foreshadowing for the future.

"It's really admirable and enviable. Casey and Elena sighed at the same time.

Then Elena asked anxiously, "Lucian, have you really stopped accepting music students lately?" I once said that when you become a musician, I will study music with you. ”

Lucien smiled and said, "We're friends, Elena, if you have any questions about music, just ask me, but I really haven't had time to teach students in the past year." ”

In fact, Lucien is implicitly protecting Elena, if he arrives at the headquarters of the Magic Council and is informed by the people of the church, then the average friend is okay, if John becomes a knight, their family will not have much of a problem, but their own music students, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome.

"Thank you, Lucien. "Elena is very satisfied to be able to get such a promise.

Lucien then gave the score to Elena and told her to register with Joseph, while he prepared to go to the fourth floor piano room to practice, avoiding the aristocratic ladies who were waiting.

But as soon as Elena went upstairs, a dark purple low-key carriage came from outside the musicians' association, which Natasha usually sent to pick up Lucian.

"Your Royal Highness the Princess, please come over, Mr. Evans, some of the books do not need to be translated, you can watch them directly. The coachman politely conveyed Natasha's words to Lucian.

Lucien smiled and shook his head, Natasha is really impatient, as long as she decides something, she will go all out and move forward bravely.

However, this was exactly what Lucien wanted, so he got into the carriage without excuse.

............ the study of the "War Gallery", Natasha, dressed in a black court dress, walked with Lucien in the rows of bookshelves and introduced him: "There are chivalric novels, there are classical operas, there are historical documents of various countries, and there are travelogues......

After introducing the location of the books, Natasha pointed to a middle-aged man at the desk by the window: "He is the famous historian and ancient linguist Mr. Baker, a member of the Hill family, and I specially invited him to translate some of the books written in the ancient Magic Empire for you." ”

Baker was bald before he was fifty years old, with the rest of his hair sparsely graying and his horizontally developed face with thick glasses.

"Hello, Mr. Baker, thank you for your help. Lucien greeted him politely.

Baker had already stood up when Natasha came in, and responded to Lucien with the same skillful etiquette: "It is my honor to serve Her Royal Highness the princess and help you, Mr. Evans, I am translating for you the "Dark Age Heroes Poetry Collection", which is an excellent poem left by the emergence of many heroes and the overthrow of the rule of evil magicians under the guidance of the God of Truth. ”

Lucien saw a book on the table with a black cover and a very different style of decoration than the current one, pretending to pick it up casually, and quickly flipped through it: "What a complicated and evil text. ”

This "Dark Ages Heroic Poetry Collection" appears in its entirety in Lucian's Soul Library, and the shelf is classified as "Ancient Literature".

Since Lucien was just flipping with his hands, he didn't mean to look closely at all, neither Natasha nor Baker had any doubts.

Baker laughed, "Many of the materials in the ruins and ancient documents are written in this script, so we have to learn them, just guard against this evil text from spreading to the common people." Mr. Evans, I am a devout believer, and I hope that my translations will help you to be inspired to create solemn music that praises the true God and praises the heroes. ”

"I would like to be inspired by that as well. Lucien smiled perfunctorily, and could not write "Arise, hungry slave...... Fight for the truth", right?

After exchanging a few words, Baker continued to work on the translation, while Lucien "casually" flipped through another book of the Ancient Magic Empire: "Your Royal Highness, why don't they translate anything?"

"The nobles who have studied in the monastery all know the ancient Magic Empire of Hilfanus, and I don't need a translation. Natasha saw Lucien flipping quickly as if checking the quality of the book, and explained his question without paying much attention, "Okay, Lucian, I have ordered the knight to take the books you can't read, and you can read the rest of the study as you like." I'm going to the piano room to compose music, and if there's a problem, I'll come to you. ”

As soon as Natasha left, Lucien looked hungrily at the lingua franca books in his study, and read them very carefully instead of turning them quickly so as not to arouse suspicion.

After that, after more than a month of extensive reading, Lucien finally got rid of the ignorance and confusion of this world since he crossed over, and had a new understanding of the situation on the mainland.

"Because ancient magicians obtained powerful magic by analyzing and simulating the ability of various magical creatures, they carried out bloody human experiments all year round, trying to integrate various bloodlines into the human body, after countless human deaths, to almost every human being alive has a different bloodline, this research has reached its peak, but the rule of magicians has also reached a precarious level, and the people all over the continent and those who have a strong bloodline power have rioted and resisted. ”

"Originally, they alone could not defeat those powerful magicians, but the Cult of Truth, which has been secretly developing, stepped onto the stage, and led the bloodline nobles to set off the climax of smashing the Magic Empire with the power of the Magic Empire, this year is the beginning of the Sacred Calendar, followed by the 'Dawn War' that has lasted for more than 400 years. ”

As a result of the sifting, Lucien saw that the mages were portrayed as evil and terrifying, and the heroes were portrayed as singing and crying.

"The Violet family was originally the Earls of the western border of the Holy Helz Empire, mastered the powerful Knights, and in the westward expansion stage at the end of the 'Dawning War', they cooperated with the Church to occupy the most important city of the Magic Empire, Arto, and were named Grand Dukes, and came out of the Holy Helzi Empire. ”

"In the year 425 of the Holy Calendar, the Church held a supreme synod in the holy city of Reims to discuss the issue of the last stage of the 'Dawn War', preparing to destroy the evil creatures hiding in the Dark Mountains and the evil kingdoms in the northwest of the Dark Mountains, but at the meeting, some of the cardinals who had been planning for a long time had a disagreement with the Pope about the description of the God of Truth, after which they returned to the north, and with the help of the nobles of the Shahran Empire and other kingdoms and principalities in the north, they de facto split with the Holy City, and the Church's westward expansion ended early. ”

When Lucien saw these accounts, he realized which side of the power of power the heresy he often heard from Natasha's mouth was referring to.

In response to Lucian's question about why the church did not continue to advance westward, and did not crusade against the evil creatures of the Dark Mountains and the kingdom of evil gods, Natasha replied meaningfully:

"In the eyes of the vast majority of believers, heresy is more odious than infidels. ”

"The northern fortress on the border between the Duchy and the Shahran Empire is home to the entire Knights of the Holy Sword. ”

"Why did that part of the cardinal church choose to split? Hehe, now no one knows except the Pope and the Pope of the Northern Cult. ”

From these historical books, Lucien also learned that the Duchy of Vaorit, the ancient kingdom of Syracuse, and the northern provinces of the Holy Hertz Empire were at the forefront of the fight against heresy.

And the entire continent, in addition to the two major empires, there is also the southernmost Gusta Empire, but because the royal family has lost the ability to control the big nobles and big lords, it can only be said to be a formal empire, as for other kingdoms, principalities, boguo, zìyóu city federation, etc., counting those who believe in the northern cult, there are nearly sixty in total.

In addition, there is an "inland sea" similar to the Mediterranean Sea in the eastern part of the continent, called the "Storm Strait", and Natasha's mother is the princess of the opposite kingdom.

However, regarding the country on the other side of the "Storm Channel", all the books and documents that Lucien saw were very simple and slightly equivalent to none.
