Chapter Thirty-Nine: The "Visitor" at Night


Forget it's Monday, Khan, begging for clicks, recommendations and Sanjiang tickets, to continue to stay in the first place while the great god has not yet exerted his strength After accepting Lucian and Rhine's suggestion, Victor took out a very simple piece for Lucian to read, this is a piano introduction piece he wrote specifically for his music students, because it needs to be simple, so there are not too many ornate ornamental sounds, when it is played on the original harpsichord, limited by its shortcomings, it can only be barely heard, and played on the current piano, it has a melody like a song, pure and beautiful feeling, although it is not a famous song, but it is enough to spread.

With the strength of his soul and spiritual power tempered by meditation, Lucian's memory is now getting better and better, even if he only has a few days of musical foundation, he has completed the preliminary reading of music within ten times, which is similar to that of Lot, Phyllis and other aristocratic students who have been influenced by music since childhood, which makes Victor smile with satisfaction again.

"Okay, Lucien, try to play the strings of the first part yourself, don't be nervous, it's normal for anything to happen the first time, but remember to keep the fingering, don't move your fingers in a panic, as long as the fingering doesn't make mistakes, practice for a while, and you can master this piece."

After Victor explained the basic fingering points to Lucian, he directly asked Lucian to start playing, which was not at all like the introductory piano fingering tutorial in Lucian's mind, there was a step-by-step process of familiarizing himself with fingering and keys.

Of course, this piece of music is very simple, and this kind of direct practice is similar to learning it at the same time as the first part of the introductory piano course, and it may be difficult for children with simple thinking and logic to learn, but for adults like Lucian, as long as they have a lot of practice, they can get used to it.

Lucien put his hands on the keys as if he were holding an egg, looked at the sheet music in front of him, quickly recalled it in his head, and then pressed it down and began to play.

One note after another came out intermittently, Lucien played very hard, when he remembered, he felt very simple, but when he really played, he found that it was very difficult, he clearly remembered which note to play, but he couldn't correspond to the key, and when he corresponded to the key, he wanted to direct his fingers to be on time, and he had to recall the fingering, he couldn't make mistakes, which finger to use must be accurate, and when he figured it out, the extension of his fingers seemed to be uncoordinated.

So it was a long time before Lucien finished the previous note, and the other sounded, making the piano room sound intermittently like the last words of a man before he died.

Fortunately, Lucien has been trained in casting spells, and has been nurtured by so many dangerous situations and dead scenes, no matter how slow he played, he did not panic, and he did not rush to catch up with the notes so that he misremembered, mixed, and rushed to the tune, and the whole string rhythm was called a lot of noise.

Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus, on the side, listened with a deep smile, and did not mean to laugh, because when they played for the first time, they were like this, even worse than Lucian, and to laugh at Lucian was to laugh at themselves.

This piece is not long, but the rhythm of the strings for about a minute was played by Lucian for more than three minutes, and after playing, Lucian realized that he had a layer of cold sweat behind his back, and his forehead was also densely covered with beads of sweat, and he actually felt like he was casting a spell in the sewer to kill people.

Victor was the first to applaud, comforting and praising Lucian: "Although Lucian you play very slowly and poorly, but among the ordinary beginners I have seen, the only one who can keep the notes without mistakes the first time he plays, this calmness can make you master the piano fingering faster, but sometimes, playing music, you need to invest in the feelings of the music, and it is not good to be too calm." ” Rhine, Lot, etc. applauded, they witnessed Lucian's first performance, but it was impossible for Lot, Phyllis and others to praise Lucian, the aristocrats and the pride of the ancestors made them not feel that this was anything at all, especially Herodotus hated Lucien very much.

After Victor finished speaking, as an equally excellent player of harpsichord and harpsichord, Rhine commented on two sentences and pointed out Lucian's current problems: "Lucien, your memory is very good, and after learning and playing a few more times, you should be able to remember the position of the keys, even if you practice to the extent that you instinctively react as soon as you see the score or hear the music, I believe it will take less than a month, but I noticed that the coordination of your hands is relatively poor, that is, the notes you want cannot react to the movements of your hands as quickly as possible."

"This piece of music is still very simple, and when you encounter a piece of music with strong skills and full of gorgeous ornamentation, it will be even more difficult when you encounter complex music with the right and left hands, and now this piano has a strong pedal, sustain pedal, etc., in addition to the coordination of the hands, the coordination of the feet must also be practiced."

"Of course, this is a matter of proficiency, as long as you can practice hard, as soon as two or three years, and no more than ten years, you can become a qualified musician, as for whether you are excellent, it depends on whether you have musical talent."

Although Lucien knew that even with the guidance of a famous teacher, it would take a long time to practice a musical instrument well, but thinking that he could earn his current living expenses, spell casting material costs, and magic experiment equipment by becoming a musician, he was inevitably a little disappointed: "Mr.

Victor, Mr.

Rhein, is there no way to become a qualified musician faster?"

"Unless you're a true musical genius with an unparalleled understanding of music, you might be able to master an instrument in those months, but alas, you're not.

So a solid foundation, a long practice is the only way you can become a qualified musician, and I don't want to hear that Mr.

Victor's music student is a fool who can't even play the piano.

Phyllis, who is good at sarcastic others, finally couldn't help but reprimand Lucien after hearing his delusions.

Herodotus listened to Phyllis with a smile before pretending to be kind and said, "Lucian, you must step on the solid earth with both feet firmly in order to go further and faster." ” "Yes, Lucian, you're just starting to learn, don't underestimate the difficulty of learning an instrument."

Lott didn't dislike Lucien as much as the other two, and just followed suit.

Rhine smiled: "It's good for young people to have ideals and drive, but the practice of musical instruments requires countless times, don't look at me as good at playing the violin, harpsichord, harpsichord and harp, but that is a long time accumulation."

Hehe, in fact, there is a way that allows you to master a musical instrument in the shortest possible time, that is, to stimulate your blood power and become a knight, so that the control of the body, the control of the hands and feet will become very strong, and the coordination will naturally be good, and with your good memory, maybe you can become a qualified pianist in a week or two. ” "Of course, I don't know exactly how long it will take you to stimulate the power of the bloodline, and whether it will be longer than a few years or more than ten years."

"Hahaha."

Rhine's humorous ending words made Victor, Lott and others couldn't help laughing, how difficult it is to stimulate the power of the bloodline, just look at the number of knights in the principality, whether it is Lot, Phyllis, or Herodotus, they are losers on the road of knighthood, and they feel that they have no hope of success if they persist in it, so they turn to pursue the path of musicians.

Victor put away his smile: "If you just want to play a complex piece of music, then you can practice for four hours a day, three or four weeks without stopping, and you should be able to barely pass, but what is the use of this, Lucian, learn the piano steadily." ” Lucien had no choice but to nod, and silently calculated his income and expenses in his heart, ten silver narls per month, of which three silver narls should be paid to Aunt Elisa's family as his monthly meals.

Although I miss the delicious food in my previous life, including Western food, and want to try to make something delicious to comfort myself, I am at a critical moment in the study of magic and music, and I really don't want to devote more attention to these things.

And the remaining seven silver nar, when the tension in Aalto City has passed, it will cost about five to six silver nar a month to buy magic materials, as for the rebuilding of a secret magic laboratory, and the purchase of glass bottles, glasses, stoves, special jars and other items inside, it is even more of a large expenditure, and it is likely to invest all the silver coins he got from gangsters and cultists.

Of course, the utensils needed for these magical experiments, especially the glass products, are very sensitive, and in their own condition, once purchased, it is easy to be suspected of being related to magical experiments, which makes Lucien have a headache and does not know how to solve it.

In addition, Lucien also planned to buy two blackened linen garments, as well as some shabby fabrics, sewing needles, threads, etc., to sew a robe with a pullover hood for his own activities, so that he could sometimes move in concealment, and at the same time, he also had to sew rows of small pockets on the inner lining of the cloth belt to hold different spell casting materials, so as not to make it difficult to distinguish and carry the spell materials in the future.

Regarding this matter, Lucien could only relieve his depression with self-deprecation: "The pressure of life has made me, a magician, begin to learn needlework, what kind of world is this." ” A few days later, at night, Lucien was using the Soul Library to parse "Homanzi's Choking" again, in order to familiarize it, familiarize itself, and familiarize it again and again if it was impossible to cast a spell.

In addition, Lucien mainly studied the use of spiritual power, combined with previous knowledge, and worked the frequency of changes, and was pleased to find that he could leave a faint imprint of spiritual power on the target person that was difficult to detect.

And in playing the piano, as Rhine said, after the rapid improvement brought by the initial memory, the coordination of the hands has become the most difficult at present, and he is still practicing the introductory song.

Suddenly, Lucien's mental power vaguely sensed that something was rapidly approaching.

So Lucien immediately stopped what he had done, looked around, and saw that everything was well hidden, and then carefully got out of bed and prepared to cast a spell.

Immediately after, there was a knocking sound on the closed wooden window, and after three clicks, Lucien's locked wooden window opened inexplicably.

"Switching" The familiar fluctuations of magic made Lucien highly vigilant at once, and at the same time raised the expectation that he would finally see another magician, or magic apprentice A dark shadow flew in through the open wooden window and landed on the wooden table, making a hoarse and ugly whining voice: "Boy, why don't you open the door to the noble Lord Doro, let me do it myself" Lucien was a little surprised, it turned out to be a tawny owl, it looked ordinary, but it raised its pointed beak and made a human voice, making a proud appearance.

"Pet or Transfiguration" Seeing this, Lucien's heart moved, and he made an extremely frightened appearance, and retreated to the bed, trembling.

The strange owl seemed to be very satisfied with Lucian's performance, and couldn't help but paced back and forth on the wooden table for two steps before continuing to make an arrogant appearance: "Boy, Lord Dora knows that you are afraid and worship us magical and noble creatures, but I have only come to ask you some questions, as long as you answer honestly, Lord Dora will not hurt you." ” "I ask you, have any other magicians come to look for the witch next to your hut after she was burned to death":
