Chapter 102: Sylvia's Father

Natasha was content with the piano piece "To Alice", but she did not forbid Lucien to read books in her study, she is now very confident in Lucian's creative ability, and hopes that Lucian will be inspired by religious texts, epics, folk hero poems, historical documents, and chivalric novels to write classic works.

So Lucien went to Latasha Palace at 9 o'clock every Tuesday and Thursday to read books, and at 11 o'clock he discussed music with Natasha and did his duty as a music advisor.

"Evans, what are you doing?" In the study, Baker, who had translated dozens of pages of books, walked back and forth to relieve his tiredness, and unexpectedly saw Lucien sorting and copying books.

Lucien finished writing a row of beautiful words on a blank sheet of paper in a fancy way before he raised his head and replied to Baker: "I am sorting out these historical documents and poems so that I can find creative materials in the future." ”

Although they had known and spent nearly two months together, Lucien and him did not become familiar with him due to Baker's old-fashioned conservatism.

Beck heard that Lucien was tidying up, curiously took the thick stack of white paper next to him and flipped through it, and after a while, he said with deep doubts: "Evans, the way you organize it is very strange, it seems to be arranged from the dark and obscurantist age to the Divine Age in the way of general history, and it is like a biography, which blends all the stories of the white spoons of the clergy, emperors, kings, dukes, and counts, as well as the changes in culture and law. ”

"Because for my creation, the story of each epic is more important, so it is clearer and more inspiring. Lucien replied with a smile.

Because Baker doubted Lucian's memory and told Natasha some time ago, Lucian was a little vigilant, after becoming a knight and a magician, it is normal for his memory to get better, but a large part of his strong memory performance comes from the soul library, which is too much beyond normal, and he has to do something else to cover it up, such as he has a collection of unfortunate endowments and unique ideas.

As a result, Lucien Qianbi sorted out the historical documents in Natasha's study in the way of historical records, but there was no historical commentary on the "Taishi Gongri".

Baker nodded in acceptance of Lucian's explanation, highlighting heroes as one of the main methods of opera, fiction, and music composition, and that it only takes a slight change of thinking to organize historical documents along these lines.

He looked at it carefully again, and said very seriously: "I think that according to this idea, there is a new direction for recording history. It's no wonder that Evans's recollection of historical sources is so clear and quick, and it turns out that there is a lack of talent in this regard. ”

The current historical record is still in the chronicle style, and together with the most famous biographical books and war epics, Lucien's form of biography is novel, but it is not shocking.

At this time, Natasha suddenly walked into the study, heard Baker's words, and asked the reason curiously, and then Ha Luha smiled and said: "Lucian, it turns out that you are really going to become a historian, but it is best to separate the entry of different statuses such as clergy, emperor, duke, etc., and the etiquette division between nobles is very strict and cannot be mixed together." ”

"Okay. Lucien didn't think about really getting a history book out, and only used the innovation of sorting and inductive form to cover up his problems, "Your Royal Highness Princess, it's not eleven o'clock yet, do you have anything to do with me in the study?"

After Natasha motioned for Baker to continue translating the book, she pulled Lucian to the corner of the study, smiling brightly, but with a "you know" expression, slightly obscene: "Yesterday was Sylvia's birthday, there was no banquet, only the two of us, she was very satisfied with the piano piece "Dedicated to Sylvia", saying that this is the simple and beautiful music she has been trying to find. When I told her this morning that it was your work, she was not angry, but was grateful to you, and wanted to invite you to her house tonight, with only me, Aunt Camille, Sylvia, and Sylvia's father's private banquet. ”

"I think this kind of thing, Sylvia will be a little unhappy. Lucien discussed this with Natasha "normally", "There is a big difference between the works that you are in love with and the works that you borrow from others, especially if you didn't explain it in the first place, if she is not angry, it can only mean ......"

Natasha interrupted Lucien and smiled happily: "It is because of such kindness, gentleness and thoughtfulness that I like Sylvia, she was really touched last night, and I didn't break the agreement." Tsk, Lucien, you look like an expert in love, but you haven't even held a girl's hand except for dancing. ”

......," Lucien, "don't always mention this kind of thing. ”

"Alright, my historian, will you be at the banquet tonight?" Natasha smiled and pulled back to the point, inviting Lucien very seriously.

Lucien didn't refuse, anyway, he was in the Gusu District, very close to his home, so he didn't delay his evening studies.

............ At seven o'clock in the evening, No. 78, Gusu District, a pale yellow two-story villa.

The architecture is bright and soothing, and the garden is filled with several types of flowers that are not afraid of the cold.

"Welcome, Lucien. Sylvia and her father opened the door to the villa.

She wore an elegant and dignified white dress, and her night-deep, silk-like smooth hair was draped over her shoulders, completely exuding that gentle and pure unique temperament, which is definitely the dream of most men.

Her father, on the other hand, wore a black dress jacket and a thick black beard, looking a little old and gloomy, but it could be seen that he must have been a beautiful man when he was young, with deep features like carvings.

Lucien handed Sylvia the small gift he had brought: "Happy birthday, Sylvia. Good evening, Mr. DeRonney. At the same time, there was a slight doubt in his heart about what Sylvia's father, De Niro, would give him a faint strange feeling.

"Good evening, Lucian, although we both live in the Gusu district, this is the first time I have seen you, and you are younger than I thought. Hehe, the first movement of your Serenade in G major has been heard a lot at banquets in the last two months, and it is very joyful, and everyone is speculating about when you will be able to write the next few movements. Drooney smiled politely and implicitly.

Lucien, led by Sylvia, walked to the living room couch, where Natasha and Camille were already sitting: "Actually, it's done, it's a string quartet." ”

"Then I'd like to hear it at the New Year's ball, and then you play "Dedicated to Sylvia" during the break, and I'll be able to ...... then" Natasha smiled and winked at Lucian. There are no New Year's concerts in the principality, but there is the "Aalto Festival".

Lucien understood what she meant, that is, to find an excuse to give him a manor, but in fact Lucien preferred a reward similar to the "vigilant" sword: "'Dedicated to Sylvia' should be an intimate work, and there is no need to play it at the New Year's ball." ”

"But this is Lucian's work, and it's best to find an opportunity to publish it, and the New Year's ball is a good occasion. It was Sylvia who spoke, with a slightly lower voice, but more of a slightly hoarse sexiness, "And the name of "Dedicated to Sylvia" is not appropriate, don't think you're pursuing me." ”

Natasha laughed and stopped: "Why can't you? Most of the unmarried musicians in the association are pursuing you, hehe, many married ones are too, but after Phyllis's birthday party, their group of nasty guys disappeared completely." Well, Lucien, we were discussing the poetry and legends of various parts of the Principality, and you are an 'expert' in this area, and we would like you to give 'guidance'. ”

"Expert?" Drooney looked at Lucien on the couch opposite, confused.

At this time, Lucien was already sitting on a single-entry sofa, shook his head and smiled: "I'm just for creation, and I've been reading a lot of books on this subject lately. Her Royal Highness has always had a good sense of humor. ”

"Why, even Mr. Baker thinks Lucien you have the potential to be a historian, no, you are already a historian. Natasha was in a good mood and said half-jokingly, "Uncle Drony is a successful merchant, a director of the Aalto Metal Jewelry Guild, who travels all over the principality all year round, and knows a lot of poetry and legends, so you must have a common topic in this regard, and you can exchange them well." ”

Under her leadership, the four of them chatted happily on the subject before dinner, and Camille occasionally said a few words, as if she had traveled around the duchy as an adventurer and mercenary in her youth.

Gradually, it was almost dinner time, and Droni smiled thoughtfully: "I thought Her Royal Highness the princess was joking, but after the exchange just now, I found that Lucian is really a historian who can accurately judge the age and background of poems and legends." I happen to know a folk poem that has been passed down very little, and I have always wondered when and where in the principality it describes. ”

"Uncle Droni, come and listen, and I'll judge too. Natasha felt that she had read a lot of history books and documents, so she glanced at Lucien with a little curiosity.

Just a normal conversation, Lucien replied lightly, "I try." ”

As if reminiscing, Droni slowly recited after a while:

"When the sun entered the palace of Thanos, a huge ball of fire fell from the ground, the earth shook violently, and the towering city and majestic tower were reduced to ruins.

...... The empty earth was cloudy, the green was hidden by the yellow, and the darkness seemed like a demon hiding in the abyss.

...... Quick, look, the bright red water flooded the lips.

............”

After reading it, Droni said with a little expectation: "It's just a folk poem, it's not beautiful, but I'm very interested in what it describes, Your Highness Princess, Lucian, can you tell what era and place it belongs to?"

Natasha frowned slightly: "The palace of Tanos should refer to a certain position where the sun runs. ”

However, in historical documents, Thanos also refers to a certain chief consul of the Magic Empire, known as the "Sun King".
