Chapter 118: The End and the Beginning


The delicate sweet floral scent, the slightly fishy earthy smell, and the slightly cold night breeze quickly disappeared from Lucien's side as if it had been withdrawn, and all that was around was the bright and twinkling starry sky, and the beautiful silver moon that did not hide the starlight.

The reflection in the soul and the connection between the main star of destiny appeared brilliantly again, hungrily absorbing the power of the main star of destiny and integrating into itself, blooming with a faint light.

Under the fusion and compression of the starlight power, Lucian's soul seemed to have undergone some changes, and then began to slowly condense into "substance".

I don't know how long later, when Lucien opened his eyes, his pupils seemed to be as deep and dreamy as countless stars.

Closing and opening again, his eyes returned to normal, Lucien felt that his spirit was more abundant than ever, and his soul had a noticeable lift, as if some tiny things had been condensed, like the dust of resentful spirits.

"What is the composition of the soul or what is the unique composition of the fluctuating field meditation enhancement" Lucien is very interested in the changes of the soul, but limited by his own lack of knowledge and materials, he can only guess out of thin air, "But only when the soul has such a mutation, can a spell model be constructed in it." ” After finally becoming a high-level magic apprentice, Lucien turned all his attention and goal to the official magician, in this world, only by reaching this level can he be regarded as transcending the power level of ordinary people, and has a good strength, like a knight who stimulates the power of the bloodline, and at the same time can obtain the status and identity corresponding to the strength.

This is not like the existence of musicians, but more because of the preferences of the clergy and the aristocracy, and if one day they abandon music, the status of musicians will be greatly reduced.

Because Natasha had instructed the officials of the city hall before leaving Aalto, and because of Lucian's status as a famous musician, it only took Lucian half a day to handle the documents such as "identity documents" and "certification documents" for legal travel, which normally takes seven days.

Although many adventurers can travel around without such paperwork, they can be dangerous when they are in strict border fortresses, cities, or when they encounter someone who wants to find trouble, and they may be regarded as heretics by the church and spies by the intelligence services.

After that, Lucien remained in Aalto, planning the route and accompanying Joel and them, while waiting for the 10th of April to approach.

On the morning of the 9th of April, bidding farewell to Joel, John, Elena, and others, Lucien took a long carriage hired by the Society and headed northwest of Aalto, under the pretext that he had first reached the province of Tiran in the north of the principality, and then turned to the ancient kingdom of Syracuse in the east.

As the majestic city of Aalto faded behind him, Lucien tucked his head back into the window and looked through his identification documents as if he had nothing to do.

At the end of these documents, there is a magic mark to ensure that it cannot be forged by people outside the church, so it is a very strong proof that there is no need to worry about not being able to pass through the border openly when going to the eastern part of the continent.

Flipping through the pages, Lucien suddenly found that there were several newspapers in the carriage, so he picked them up curiously, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be music reviews and symphonic guides published after the music festival.

"It was Elena who thought that I hadn't read it, so she bought it and put it in the carriage for me to pass the time" Lucien thought a little back and determined the person who put the newspaper, during this time, Lucien basically had not been to the association except for the need for certification for paperwork, and naturally he had not read these newspapers.

The first edition of the music review is divided into two halves, with Christopher's curtain call in black and white on the left and a colorful oil painting on the right showing Lucien playing the piano.

Then two lines of words are written in a very thick, large and symmetrical way: "The end of an era, the beginning of an era."

In the second edition, the full text is the following: "Mr.

Christopher is closed, forever, this is the end of an era."

"The last 70 years have been a time when the development of the symphony began to be perfected, the structure became more rigorous, and the symphony quickly became brilliant and dominated the elegant stage.

And Mr.

Christopher is the epitome of this whole era, a true master of music, let us thank and pay tribute to the master and this era with the most solemn etiquette. ” "I don't want to dwell on the accolades that Mr.

Christopher has received, as this article would be very lengthy, but I would like to emphasize that the Symphony of War at the end of the concert is an unprecedented attempt by the maestro to break through the limitations of the past, to achieve great success, and to show us the future of theme music.

And Mr.

Christopher was already seventy years old when he wrote this piece, which reminds me of the saying that the heart of music never stops. ” "Thank you to the Lord for the gift of us, and the miraculous artifacts will preserve these texts for us, and we will be able to enjoy them in the music library."

"This is also the beginning of an era, although Mr.

Lucien Evans's conducting and playing is still very young, and there are still many problems, but he shows us the new possibilities of music, whether it is his symphonies, sonatas, conducting, piano playing, etc., are full of transformative flavor."

"This kind of change may not be accepted and liked by many gentlemen, but I think it is very appropriate to start a new era in this way."

"With a new symphonic connotation, a new sonata structure, a new conducting style, a new fingering, a new concert format, I can already imagine a colorful and colorful future, which will be a time of change."

"Thank you, Mr.

Lucien Evans, thank you to this uninhibited musical genius, he is the beginning of this era, and I wish him to be the epitome of this era, to be a legend and a master of music."

"Mr.

Christopher is closed, Mr.

Lucien Evans is on, and the music never ends."

The article is unauthored, indicating that it is a joint article of the Aalto Musicians Association.

The first and second editions of the Symphony Herald are similar to music criticism, summarizing and evaluating the two-day concert, on the one hand, for Christopher, and on the other hand, for Lucian, such as: "It was a concert full of new ideas, and Mr.

Lucien Evans showed us a completely different sonata form, conducting style, and playing performance, and let us know for the first time that a solo piano can have such a charm.

I don't think anyone minds if I call the piano the king of musical instruments."

"We are thankful that we live in this age, a time when geniuses will not wait until death to be discovered and accepted, and thank the Lord and Mr.

Lucien Evans."

Lucien read the beginning and flipped through the following articles at random, except for the unanimous praise of Christopher, most of them were the affirmation of the connotation and structure of the pathetic sonata, the affirmation of the innovative attempt of the conducting style, and the affirmation of the charm of the piano fingering and performance.

In this few articles, Lucien saw Wolf's name, and it seems that he still has a mind about himself as a critic.

Closing the newspaper, Lucien looked at the headline of the music review in a daze: "The end of an era, the beginning of an era."

"The life of the musician Lucien is over, can the life of the magician Lucien really begin?"

Outside the car window, country houses are rapidly falling backwards and disappearing, and the surrounding roads are gradually becoming deserted and the trees are getting thicker.

At six o'clock in the evening of April 9, the horse-drawn carriage arrived in the town of "Massawa".

The town forks in the road, north to the province of Tiran, one of the Violet family's direct territories, and two hours west to the town of "Bonn" on the shores of Lake Elsinor.

"Mr.

Evans, it's getting dark, and it's easy to be attacked by robbers, wolves, goblins, etc.

We might as well spend one night in the town of Massawa and set off for the north tomorrow morning.

Joyce, the leader of the mercenary team, motioned for the carriage to stop, and walked to the door of the carriage and respectfully asked Lucian.

In the whole continent, monsters can no longer be seen near cities, large towns and villages, only occasionally bandits infested, but due to the vast and sparsely populated land, numerous mountains, and dense forests, there are remote roads everywhere, and pedestrians will encounter monsters with strong fecundity but poor strength from time to time and human robber attacks, unless there is the strength of a formal knight, if you want to travel far away and do business, you must go to the adventurer's guild to hire adventurers or mercenaries to protect yourself.

This is why the adventurer and mercenary trades are still thriving in a world where the power of the church is terrifying and the aristocracy is strong, and of course, the wealthy merchant houses are themselves guarded.

The mercenary team invited by Lucien to the association consisted of a total of six people, two captains with the strength of high-level knight squires and four members of the team with the strength of ordinary or trainee knight squires.

They were to be paid 300 silver nar a month, plus room and board.

This was an unaffordable expense for ordinary people, who had to pay a certain amount of money to follow the caravan or a wealthy man like Lucian, but Lucian had a large sum of money coming in after the concert, and he had a total of one hundred and five gold tales, which was more than enough even if he didn't perform at all on the way to Stuhl.

"I respect the advice of the professionals and just follow your arrangement as Captain Joyce arranged to stay in Massawa tonight.

Please go find a hotel, I need a very quiet room.

Lucien opened the door and looked at the tall, muscular, silent Joyce Road.

This was Lucian's plan, because it was now easy to run into magicians, magic apprentices, and other adventurers directly to Bonn, and it was better to stay in Massawa and wait until it was dark to sneak over.

Joyce is a thirty-two-year-old warrior who is good at two-handed greatswords, and is still trying to save money to fight for the power of the bloodline, and his simple face is full of gratitude for Lucian's respect and non-discrimination against him: "Okay, Mr.

Evans, I'll arrange it right away." ” The experienced Joyce quickly booked a fancy inn in the town of Massawa, and Lucien's room was on the far left of the second floor, against a small uninhabited lake, very quiet.

There are quite a few strangers in the town of Massawa, who are said to be tourists returning from attending the festival.

Under Joyce's arrangement, Lucien entered the room directly through the side door, without meeting the travelers.

After having dinner in his room and telling everyone not to disturb him, Lucien waited quietly for the night to come.
