Agnes paused slightly, and the words in her mouth froze slightly.

"What's wrong, Agnes?" Mother asked.

"Ah, Mom, it's nothing, I just remembered something." Agnes reacted and smiled, and said.

The mother nodded, not asking anything more.

Agnes closed her eyes slightly, and pondered the reason for the digestion of the potion in the slight jolting of the carriage.

Did someone tell someone about their performance at the previous prom? At this point in time, it should not be the story of the prom members to their families, they should not have returned home. Then it is very likely that it is the interaction between the members of the prom, or the interaction between the members of the Marquis Durant family.

Leonardo Durant informed Marquis Durant of the communication between Agnes and him that it was a very probable thing to happen, and it was normal for Marquis Durant to think that he was a little crazy by the communication between himself and Leonardo.

"I tried a lot of different ways to play at the ball today, and through their feedback, I can roughly deduce a rule - the more different the worldview from the other party, the more potions can be digested after getting feedback."

"Of the dance partners I danced with today, the best feedback I got was from Leonardo Durant, because I deliberately revealed that I was not subconsciously in awe of the gods like the people of this world, and even felt that I was blaspheming the gods just by speculating about the gods in my mind, which is undoubtedly the biggest difference between my worldview and that of people in this world."

"This makes me wonder if combining 'prisoners' with 'madmen', or even 'werewolves', can be considered as a gradual drift away from their own race. The role of the prisoner makes the extraordinary person of this sequence space, or so to speak, distant from other people, and the role of the "madman" is mentally different from the others, and in the "werewolf" stage, the extraordinary person of this sequence appears heterogeneous, and is no longer the same species as humans. ”

"It is a phase of gradual diminishing identity with the human group. This process is like gradually reducing the sense of identity of the extraordinary people in this sequence to human identity, it is completely a subtle process, but this is also the common nature of all the extraordinary people in this world, even if it is not a different path, after being promoted to a demigod, it will also have the characteristics of a certain mythical creature, no longer a complete human, but the xenomorph sequence is particularly obvious. ”

"If this is the case, then how does this relate to 'the mind is the prisoner of the body, and the body is the prisoner of the world'."

In this way, it seems that this process does not have a deep connection with desire. But if it really has nothing to do with it, how did the struggle between the Rose School of Temperance and the Indulgence School come about? ”

"By analogy, in these three sequences, it is also a process in which desire is gradually released and reason is gradually eroded. The prisoner's desires are restrained and suppressed, the 'madmen' begin to try to explode their desires and sacrifice their sanity to release their powers, while the 'werewolves' are easily controlled by desires, but at the same time become stronger when they lose their minds. ”

"If you look at it this way, the 'prisoner' sequence is very progressive, and it is completely approaching an inhuman monster controlled by desire, no wonder many orthodox churches are full of vigilance about this sequence."

"But there's a question, why are werewolves so full of murderous and bloodthirsty desires? Even from the point of view of biological instinct, killing has never been a biological desire, but a means to obtain sufficient nutrition for survival, and the most instinctive desire of a living creature should be to survive and reproduce. ”

"Killing and bloodlust are often contradicted by this biological instinct, which is more like a curse to make the extraordinary of this sequence completely stop thinking of humans as their own. The 'werewolf', who is always unable to suppress the desire to kill and bloodlust during the full moon, will gradually become cold and twisted, and the loss of normal human feelings is likely to be due to the gradual loss of identification with one's original human identity. If you combine the later 'living corpses' and 'wraiths', the curses of these two sequences both treat humans as their own food, but they are not necessary. In this way, the 'werewolf' is a very important turning point, and whether or not they can maintain their identity as a human at this level is an important difference in the way the 'prisoner' sequence is played. ”

Agnes walked into the rehearsal room in a gown, this was the last rehearsal before the concert, and the concert will officially start this afternoon.

Mr. Conte was required to conduct two pieces in this concert, a symphony and a concerto.

The symphony was composed by Monsieur Conte himself, the one that Agnes had heard at the Musicians' Guild on the afternoon of her departure from the church; In the concerto, he was only the conductor of the orchestra, and Mr. Accardo was the soloist.

Well, yes, Mr. Accardo has a concerto in addition to her two pieces in this concert.

The symphony that Mr. Conte is going to play is what Mr. Conte himself calls "Symphony No. 20 in E flat major", with four movements, about 30 minutes in duration, and is majestic and grandiose.

The concerto is a violin concerto in E minor, also called "Moonlit Night" by Mr. Accardo, and the whole work appears to be uniform and neat, full of soft and romantic emotions, with a kind of aristocratic atmosphere, soft and solemn. The whole piece consists of three movements, again roughly about 30 minutes long. The composer's name was Klinsmann White, a name that Agnes had not heard among the nobles of Fenerport, but based on the style of the piece, Agnes was convinced that the composer was a nobleman.

These two pieces are the fifth and third pieces of the concert, respectively, and the emotions are very different, and there is only a 20-minute capriccio in the middle. Agnes was actually very worried about whether Mr. Conte would be able to adjust his emotions in such a short period of time, and fill himself with pride in time from soft and romantic, which would be a great test for any conductor.

But when Agnes asked Mr. Accardo, he expressed his confidence that Mr. Conte would be able to conduct the two pieces perfectly, and then told Agnes that she should be worried that she needed the first piece of "Morning by the Lake" instead of worrying about something that didn't need to be worried.

Yes, Agnes' "Morning by the Lake" was chosen as the opening song for this concert, which undoubtedly put Agnes under great pressure, even though she did not play it herself.
