Chapter 100 History and Words
——Please give me a monthly ticket~ The transition chapter is the most difficult to write.
………………………………………………………………………………
The next morning, because he had to register the piano sketch with Joseph, Lucien got up and exercised and used the breakfast prepared by the chef, and walked towards the musicians association in the administrative district.
At this time, it was almost nine o'clock, and the wide street was filled with melodious and wonderful music, which highlighted the reputation of the Alto music capital. What made Lucien funny and strange was that he could already hear the first movement of the string serenade in G major that he played last night. The lively melody that was straightforward and straight-forward sounded from time to time in every corner: "Was it possible that the musician sold the music score to the bard and street artists so that they could have an extra piece of performance?"
It has to be said that in terms of entertainment, popular and transcendent, this music is indeed better than the Symphony of Destiny.
In the atmosphere of music, Lucien walked into the association hall. As soon as Elena, who was in charge of reception today, saw him, she immediately gave him a look of something and signaled Lucien to come.
"Elena?" Lucien stood in front of the wooden cabinet and asked in a low voice.
Elena covered her mouth and laughed a few times before saying, "Lucion, several noble ladies have come to you before, wanting to learn piano and music with you. Haha, among them are Miss Philes's good friend Evette. By the way, this is a letter sent by musicians from nearby countries, all of whom want to discuss symphony creation with you."
Recently, it happened to be the time period when the issue of "Music Review" and "Symphony Guide" were fully released in central and western mainland countries and received feedback from "readers".
Lucien took the letter, looked upstairs, was a little scared of Evette and the others. After thinking about it, he said to Elena directly: "Elena, if there are similar things in the future, just tell them that because I am focusing on creating a piece of music, in the past year, except for being the music consultant of His Royal Highness the Princess, I will no longer accept any invitations or accept any music students. Haha, my own music foundation is still very unsolicited."
"Mr. Evans, are you inspired to create music again?" Casey next to him opened his eyes wide and stared at Lucien very curiously. Didn't he say he adapted a Canon and created a piano sketch? Is his inspiration so continuous?
Lucien nodded and replied jokingly: "Haha, because I want to have my own concert as soon as possible." This is to lay the groundwork for future things.
"It's really admirable and envious." Casey and Elena sighed at the same time.
Then Elena asked eroticly: "Lucien, have you really not accepted music students recently? I once said that when you become a musician, I will learn music from you."
Lucien smiled and said, "We are friends. Elena. If you have any musical questions, please ask me, but I really don't have time to teach students in the past year."
In fact, Lucien is implicitly protecting Elena. If he goes to the headquarters of the Magic Council and gets news from the church, then ordinary friends will be fine. If John becomes a knight, his family will not have a big problem, but his music student will probably be in trouble.
"Then thank you, Lucien." Elena was already satisfied that she could get such a promise.
Then, Lucien handed over the music score to Elena and asked her to register with Joseph, while she was preparing to go to the fourth-floor piano room to practice, avoiding the noble ladies waiting.
But as soon as Elena went upstairs, a dark purple low-key carriage came outside the Musicians Association, which was what Natasha sent to pick up Lucien.
"Your Highness, please go there, Mr. Evans. Some books do not need to be translated, you can watch them directly." The coachman politely conveyed Natasha's words to Lucien.
Lucien smiled and shook his head. Natasha was so impatient. As long as she decided on something, she would do her best and move forward bravely.
However, this was exactly in line with Lucien's wishes, so he got on the carriage without refusing.
…………
In the study of the "War Gallery", Natasha, wearing a black palace dress, walked along rows of bookshelfs with Lucien, and introduced him: "There is knight novel, the classical opera, the historical documents of various countries, and the travel notes..."
After introducing the location of the book storage, Natasha pointed to a middle-aged man next to the desk by the window: "He is a famous historian, ancient linguist Mr. Baker, and a member of the Hill family. I specially invited him to translate some books written by ancient magic empires for you."
Baker was bald at the age of fifty, his remaining hair was white and sparse, and his horizontal development face was covered with thick glasses.
"Hello, Mr. Baker, thank you for your help." Lucien greeted him politely.
When Natasha came in, Baker stood up and responded to Lucien with skillful etiquette: "It is my honor to be able to serve His Royal Highness the Princess and help you Mr. Evans. What I am translating for you is the "Collected Poems of Heroes in the Dark Ages", which is an excellent poem left by many heroes who emerged and overthrew the evil magicians under the guidance of the God of Truth."
Lucien saw a black book cover on the table, decorated in a different style than the current ones, pretended to pick it up and quickly turned it over: "What a complex and evil text."
This book "Heroes' Poems in the Dark Ages" appears in the Lucien Soul Library in its entirety, and the classified bookshelf is "Ancient Literature".
Since Lucien just flipped it around casually and had no intention of looking carefully, neither Natasha nor Baker had any doubts.
Baker smiled and said, "Many materials in the remains and ancient documents are written in this kind of text, so we have to learn them, just beware of the evil words spread to the common people. Mr. Evans, I am a devout believer, and I hope that the works I translated can help you get inspiration and create solemn music that praises the true God and heroes."
"I also hope to have such inspiration." Lucien smiled perfunctorily, and could not write "Get up, the hungry and cold slave... must fight for the truth"?
After a few exchanges, Baker continued to work in translation, while Lucien "studied" to translate other ancient magic empire books: "Your Highness, why are they not translated? Don't you read them normally?"
"The nobles who have studied in the monastery all understand the text of the ancient Sylvanus Magic Empire, and I don't need to translate it." Natasha saw Lucien turning it quickly like checking the quality of the books, and explained his question indifferently, "Okay, Lucien, I have ordered the knights to take away the books you can't read, and you can read the rest of the study at will. I went to the piano room to create music. If there is any problem, I will come to you."
After Natasha left, Lucien immediately looked at the common language books in the study eagerly. In order not to attract doubt, he did not flip it quickly, but read it very seriously.
Afterwards, after more than a month of extensive reading, Lucien finally got rid of his ignorance and confusion about the world since his time travel, and gained a new understanding of the situation in the mainland.
"Because ancient magicians obtained powerful magic by analyzing and simulating the abilities of various magic creatures, they have conducted bloody human experiments all year round, trying to integrate various bloodlines into the human body. After the deaths of countless humans and almost every living human has alien bloodlines, research on this aspect has reached its peak, but the rule of the magicians has reached a precarious level. People from all over the mainland and those experimental items with strong bloodline power have rioted and resisted."
"They were originally unable to defeat those powerful magicians by relying on them alone, but the Truth God Cult, which had been developing secretly, stepped onto the stage. With a force that was not inferior to the magic empire, it led the blood nobles to set off the climax of smashing the magic empire. This year was the beginning of the sacred calendar, followed by the 'Dawn War' that lasted for more than 400 years."
After screening, the documents Lucien saw portrayed the magicians as evil and terrifying, and portrayed the heroes as heroes.
"The Violet family was originally an earl in the border area of the western part of the Holy Helz Empire. They mastered the powerful knights. During the westward advance stage at the end of the 'Dawn War', they cooperated with the church to occupy the last important city of the Magic Empire, and were named Grand Duke and independent from the Holy Helz Empire."
"In the 425th year of the Holy Calendar, the Church held the Supreme Religion Conference in the Holy City Reims to discuss the final stage of the 'Dawn War', and was preparing to destroy the evil creatures hiding in the Dark Mountains and the kingdoms of evil gods northwest of the Dark Mountains. However, in the meeting, some of the cardinals who had been planning for the description of the God of Truth had a disagreement with the Pope. After that, they returned to the north and with the help of the Shahland Empire and other kingdoms in the north, the nobles of the Principality, they actually split from the Holy City, and the church marched westward toward the early end."
When Lucien saw these records, he realized which force the heresy he often heard from Natasha was referring to.
As for Lucien's questions about why the church did not continue to move westward, no longer conquering the evil creatures in the Dark Mountains, and those evil god kingdoms, Natasha answered three meaningful sentences:
"In the eyes of most believers, heresy is more abominable than pagans."
"The northern fortress at the border between the Principality and the Shahland Empire is stationed with all the Holy Sword Knights."
"Why did that part of the Cardinal Church choose to split? Haha, no one knows it now except the Pope and the Popes of the Northern Cults."
From these historical books, Lucien also knows that the Principality of Waorit, the Kingdom of Syraud and the northern provinces of the Holy Helz Empire are the front lines of fighting heresy.
In addition to the two empires, there is also the southernmost Gusta Empire. However, since the royal family has lost control over the great nobles and great lords, it can only be said to be a formal empire. As for other kingdoms, principalities, Belarus, Free City Federations, etc., there are nearly sixty who believe in northern cults.
In addition, there is also a "inland sea" similar to the Mediterranean Sea in the eastern part of the mainland, called "Storm Strait". Natasha's mother is the princess of the opposite kingdom.
However, regarding the country opposite the Storm Strait, all the books Lucien saw were recorded in very simple documents, slightly equivalent to not.
…………
Two weeks before the New Year, the wind was howling outside. Lucien sat in front of the fireplace in the living room, baked his body warmly, letting the lounge chair shake slowly, and continued to interpret "Book of Astrology and Elements" as if he was asleep.
Lucien's biggest gain during this period is that he has mastered the commonly used ancient magic empire texts! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to Piaotian Literature Registered Members to recommend this work. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
