Chapter IX Special Issue

Although Natasha didn't understand too much what Lucien was suddenly so serious, his view and firm attitude towards the law of cause and effect still made the inexplicable discomfort in his heart melt away as quickly as ice and snow met the sun, everything has been predestined, and the completely unchangeable world is the most desperate and lifeless world.

Feeling the warmth of being held and listening to the solemn and solemn voice, Natasha, who has a cheerful and optimistic personality, quickly recovered her true colors, no longer dwelled on this topic, and smiled: "Are you going to create an opera for me?"

"How do you know the way?" said Lucian, with some surprise.

Natasha smiled: "My eyes are very sharp, and when I was in your study in the afternoon, I saw a manuscript on the shelf, "Valkyrie", which I think should have been given to me." ”

She was not at all modest about the title "Valkyrie" and took it for granted that it should be herself.

Lucien sighed softly: "Originally, I was going to invite the opera troupe to perform on my birthday to commemorate the first anniversary of our confession to each other, but this year for the sake of Sarde's affairs, for the sake of the Magic Council and our future, there has been no extra time to write, and the script is more difficult than I imagined, and the music is even more so, and it is only a third of the way through today." ”

Although this is based on works on Earth, it is basically a new feature-length creation, which makes Lucien encounter a lot of difficulties.

Natasha smiled unhesitantly, "It's okay, you can wait for next year, the year after next, and many, many years." Speaking of opera, I intend to sponsor the Rentat Musicians Association to encourage the development of music. Reinventing a city of music. ”

She is a true lover of music, and since she can't go back to Aalto for the time being, let Rentat also become a mecca for music.

"If I have free time, I will mentor the musicians in Rentat. At this time, Lucien already had the confidence to say such things, although the creation of "Valkyrie" this time was difficult, but he really integrated the music knowledge he had learned, and was no longer an ordinary musician who could only write piano pieces and arrange part of the movement, almost with the level of Mr. Victor.

Such rapid progress is due to the learning of a lot of advanced music knowledge in the soul library, and thanks to the improvement of thinking speed brought about by one's own efforts and the strengthening of the soul.

At night, the boulevard is coolly breezy and refreshing. Natasha took a deep breath. "Then I would like to thank you, maestro on behalf of the musicians of the Kingdom of Holm, if you don't mind, I want your Uncle Joel to join the association and spread the music trends and latest developments of Aalto here." ”

The smuggled "Music Review" and "Symphony Herald" can obviously only show the top things. It is not possible for musicians to learn the real basics.

"Of course I don't mind. As long as Uncle Joel himself wills. "In the past few years of communication. Lucien learned from Natasha that after the initial excitement of aristocratic life, Joel resumed his musical studies. Very hardworking, not at all like a middle-aged man.

Natasha glanced at Lucian, and her silver purple eyes smiled faintly: "I said this topic just to ask you, when will you go to meet your Uncle Joel and them, the church has been withdrawn, there should be no other danger." The intelligence officers who secretly protect them also reported that under the influence of the mysterious voice, and with the enjoyment provided by the convenient alchemy items around them, their views on magicians and clergy have changed significantly, and they should not have an overreaction, and they should still miss you in their hearts, and in order to know your news, they often stay up all night listening to the 'World Realm Truth' channel that they don't understand at all. ”

Listening to Natasha's simple description, Lucien's heart was suddenly full of emotion and warmth, it has only been more than eight years since he came to this world, but he seems to have lived a lifetime and experienced countless things, so he said in a low voice: "I'll go in a few days." ”

"Rejoice, this kind of thing should be rejoicing. Natasha playfully made a gesture of encouragement, and changed the subject by the way, "Mr. Great Musician, have you had any transformative musical ideas in recent years? You have always been known for being subversive, and it is really unaccustomed to works that have not been innovative for several years." ”

Lucien looked at her with a smile: "How could it not be, I have connected music composition and mathematics." ”

"Eh, how can music and mathematics be connected?" Natasha said in surprise, music is a thing full of free and unrestrained thoughts, and mathematics and physics are the most rigorous and constrained fields, how can they be put together?

Lucien laughed: "So it is subversive, abandoning the traditional structural factors, such as themes, musical logic, musical motives, musical phrases, musical sections, etc., and taking substantive elements, such as rhythm, dynamics, note density, timbre, etc., as parameters, using mathematical permutations and combinations to form a sequence, and then creating according to such regulations." ”

"It seems too cold...... But it's funny, I don't know what the effect of the road is?" Natasha knew that this would not be the mainstream, and she had the courage to try, plus the status of Lucien in her mind, so naturally there was no resistance.

After saying that, she sighed again: "This is really the thinking of an Arcanist!"

"I'm going back and giving you some little work. "It's a sequence of music for Lucien to change his mind and relax his brain, and it can be used in electronic music in the future.

"Okay, if it sounds good, you can stay up all night tonight and teach me!" Natasha said with great interest.

Lucien deliberately misrepresented her, quipping, "Staying up late? What do you seem to be running away from?"

"Am I the one who escapes!"

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

The next day, after sending Natasha away, Lucien returned briskly back to the Atomic Research Institute, where many experiments needed to be verified.

"Lucian, look good!" said Lazar, who knew me, holding a journal in his hand.

"Arcane was released early?" Lucien looked at the cover very similarly, but the Supreme Council only asked the journal cover to publish the news that he had become a Grand Arcanist, and did not ask them to be released so much earlier.

Heidi was still worried about yesterday's task, and said wistfully, "Teacher, this is a special issue of Arcane. Because the discovery of the neutron has confirmed the new alchemy, in order to celebrate this epoch-changing theoretical system, they have made this special issue, which includes papers from the past year or so, including the confirmation of various prophecies of the new alchemy, and some related experiments. ”

“...... There are also some questions about the imperfections of the new alchemy. Annick was silent for a moment.

Splinter was a little angry: "The teacher has long said that the new alchemy is just a framework, and many problems have not yet been solved, why do they still collect the problems in the special issue? Why can't they wait until the main issue next month to issue it? I always feel that I am questioning your new alchemy." ”

"What's this? Any theory is perfected and solid in conservative questioning, and if it weren't, I'd be upset. Again. The new alchemy does not have many problems that have not been solved, such as the inability to accurately describe the atomic structure with multiple electrons, such as the inability to predict the frequency of spectral lines, and the inability to do anything about its strength and width. Lucien understands the limitations of the current model of neo-alchemy. The mentality is very good.

Katrina nodded: "Teacher, these are the questions you said. Journals are available. ”

Lucien reached out and took Arcane. It was found that the silvery-white lines on the dark black cover formed several rows of text, with two words at the top: "Arcane" and the bottom three lines as "July 824." This issue is published to celebrate the founding of the new alchemy and to congratulate His Excellency Lucien Evans on his attainment of the title of Grand Arcanist. ”

On the title page is a supplementary opinion to the paper written by Douglas: "There is no doubt that the new alchemy has achieved a brilliant victory, which has greatly changed our times, and will always be remembered by the Arcanists, and I propose to reward the Arcanists with fifteen thousand Arcane Points and five hundred thousand Arcane Points." ”

Behind him is the opinion of the two reviewers, Lavendi and Prado co-authored a sentence: "Now we can put the praise of the previous review opinion on His Excellency Lucian Evans in its entirety." ”

At the end of this is the words written by Drummond, the editor-in-chief of the Arcane journal, on behalf of the entire journal: "For all this time, the new alchemy has swept through the entire magical council like an unstoppable flood, and every discovery of phenomena, the results of every experiment, are very consistent with its 'prophecy'. ”

"It has become the supreme code of law in the field of elements and alchemy, the key to the mystery that opens the door to creation, so that alchemy is no longer a delusion without theoretical guidance, so I seem to see a golden age, which is not only the era when gold can really be created and matter can be created, but also the era when arcane and magic flourish, change rapidly, and talent emerges. ”

"500,000 Arcane Points...... That's good. Lucien exclaimed, Arcane Points are useless to him, but Arcane Points can be exchanged for Legendary Magic and Legendary Level Rituals (one legendary magic for a million Arcane Points), which is an advantage that Quintal cannot replace.

In the formal content, the first half is the previously published papers, such as Yurisian's discovery and explanation of the phenomenon of spectral line splitting under strong magnetic fields, etc., while the second half focuses on the previously unnoticed questioning of new alchemy, including Fernando's problem of outer electron configuration, Hathaway's problem of imposing quantized energy levels and orbits, and Klaus's problem of explaining only one electronic structure...... Almost all the leaders of the elemental and alchemy fields, after expressing their value and support for the new alchemy, cautiously raised various questions.

Looking at the many questions, Lucien smiled at the still indignant Sprint and said, "What's the use of being angry? It doesn't matter if you're wrong, you're afraid that you don't have the courage to join the discussion, your mind is active, you are not inhibited, and you may be able to provide ideas that we haven't thought of to solve problems. ”

"Yes, Teacher!" Hearing the teacher's encouragement, Sprint was the first to reply, his rebellious eyes full of fighting spirit.

Annick, Heidi, and the others also became excited, joining the Grand Arcanists, Legendary Mages, and High Arcanists in the discussion and dispute about the new alchemy, which was exciting to think about.

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

In the evening, Lucien appeared in the noble district of Rentat, looked at the brightly lit villa of John's house, took a deep breath, and strode out the door. (To be continued......)

PS: Change first, then change, Kavin is dying these days...... The thirteenth is going to last year's meeting, and I don't have a single chapter in it, so I have a headache when I think about it......

By the way, on the 13th, I went to Guangzhou for the annual meeting, and there were already two book friends who planned to get together with me.
