Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 8 Aalto

——Well, there are three changes today

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

Turning over the magic notes, the rows are all strange, quirky letters and letters, which are not one of the two words that Lucien knew before crossing, and the body after the crossing belongs to the poor and has not learned any. The text is very normal. I can understand it instinctively and speak the language of the world without affecting communication. This is already the most shining luck among the numerous difficulties that Lucian is currently facing.

Therefore, the current Lucien has tragically become a real illiterate, and can only watch the magical notes without understanding a word.

Lucien smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's really uncomfortable to feel illiterate."

Although I had experienced many things on this day, I had Lucien much more mature and calmer than before. Even before reading the notes, I was still worried about the threat of the church and hesitated to learn magic, but now, huge Disappointment still impacts Lucien's soul. As a new-age college student with ideals, morals, culture, and discipline, illiteracy is uncomfortable, especially when words are also related to extraordinary rather than human power.

Without much hesitation, just for a moment, Lucien firmly determined in her heart: "The most important thing at present is to learn the words of this world!"

Even if you do n’t choose to study magic in the future, you can get rid of the living conditions and status of the poor people at the bottom, learn words, and acquire knowledge. It is still a desirable way, especially in Lucien, who has no powerful power, strong body, and no sword art Under the premise, it may be very small to get rid of the current status by means of war effort, adventure, and being a thug.

With thoughts and decisions, Lucien quickly dismissed the disappointment, and filled her heart with a little passion for struggle, and continued to look at the magic notes to see if there were other secrets hidden in it, such as treasure maps and the like.

Looking at it, Lucien frowned slightly, because he saw many familiar things in the magic notes, such as some strange patterns composed of many standard geometric figures and lines.

"Magic array, or magic mark?" Lucian guessed from the "Sacred Symbol of Truth", and then quickly turned back to the magic note, and then saw a row of formulas similar to chemical equations, but these formulas There are no symbols, but some text: "Magic formula? Potion recipe?"

These two similarities give Lucien some guesses, but he who can't understand the words can only doubt them first.

After turning over this magical note, Lucien opened another one. On top of this, the text was more distorted and the letters were similar to the patterns.

"Not the same kind of text?" Therefore, Lucien opened the third book curiously, which was painted with some patterns of plants, ores, and monsters. It seemed to be a book like "Illustrated Book", but the text on it. The same as in the second magic note.

"The language I know is probably the same as the one on the first magical note." Lucien speculates on the versatility from the ease of writing.

After reading three magical notes and books over and over again, after no more gains, Lucian lay in bed and forced herself to sleep.

For Lucien, the desire to change his situation is so strong. Starting from tomorrow, every day must work hard for life. If you are mentally depressed due to poor sleep, there is no way to better meet tomorrow. Live the opportunity.

Although Benjamin's healing magic made Lucien's wound completely healed, but after a fierce battle, mental and physical fatigue, Lucien quickly fell asleep.

In the sewer, the witch's chamber has been completely destroyed.

At this moment, a black mouse ran over somehow, eyes bloody, cold, and strange.

It circled around the ruins, squeaked twice, and then ran to the sewer in the other direction. After a long time, it found a hidden hole, drilled in, and disappeared.

…………

Early in the morning, the Adjean district gradually sounded noisy vocals, sounds of water, etc., breaking through the coldness of the night, and let Lucien feel vitality and vitality.

Lucian, who likes to turn around in bed for a long time before getting up, forced herself to get out of bed as soon as she woke up, lit the stove, boiled water and baked the last piece of brown bread.

While painfully eating the wood-flavored bread, Lucian planned today's arrangement.

If you don't have to think about things to distract, Lucian can't swallow it when it's not hungry.

"Go first to find out where you can learn writing, and the corresponding conditions. In addition, you have to find a new thing to do, otherwise you have to starve to death at home before learning writing." Lucien doesn't know much about this world, Can simply plan, "It ’s better not to be known by familiar people, so as not to show their feet."

The water in the water tank simply cleaned the lower face. Lucien took out the seven coins in the crate and put it on her body. Although there were not many, it was a little safe.

Lock the door, and Lucien walked directly to the house where Aunt Eliza's family lived. He didn't have any impression of the terrain of this city of chanting. Of course, he had to ask someone.

"Hi, Lucien." A dark-haired girl greeted Lucien, with deep curiosity.

Lucien doesn't know her at the moment, she can only draw a standard smile and nod her head in a perfunctory manner: "Hey, I have something to go to Aunt Elisa's house." Then she hurried past her.

"Hi, Lucien, what does a ghost look like?"

"Lucien, how does it feel to perform magic?"

"I saw a guard who lost his right hand. Was it dangerous last night?"

There were only dozens of steps to Aunt Elisa ’s house, but Lucien was met with enquiries from several neighbors. Overnight, Lucien seemed to have become a famous figure in the Adjean district.

Lucien didn't know any of them, and could only walk to Aunt Eliza's house in a perfunctory manner.

Before reaching the door, Lucian heard a familiar voice: "Little Evans, it was really early today."

Lucian secretly relieved: "Uncle Joel, good morning."

Joel was dressed neatly today, holding a classical harp in her hand: "Did Evans have breakfast? Have you been in good health, there is no need to rush to find things to do so, your aunt Alisa keeps calling You came to eat. "

Lucien asked Joel to ask about the terrain. It was this excuse that he prepared, and he was more relieved to see: "Thank you Uncle Joel, I have already eaten it, and yesterday I had the magical treatment of Lord Benjamin. No need to rest anymore. "

Joel nodded and greeted Lucien walking side by side with him: "I have peace of mind with Master Priest, I will rest assured that when you go to the Copper Crown Tavern to find the owner Cohen, he still owes me a bottle of Rice wine , Will help you introduce a good job. "

Lucien said that Xie Gang was about to leave, Joel thought for a while, put away his usual smiley face, and said seriously: "Little Evans, you are seventeen years old, you are not too young, you should think about it later Life. "

"Uncle Joel, what do you mean?" Lucien asked clearly.

Joel sighed: "Working with strength, after reaching the age of 40, the body will age quickly, it is difficult to find a job, if there is no savings, no good sons, daughters, within a few years will be brought by poverty and disease Let ’s go. Uncle Joel has seen many of these people, and few of them live to be over forty-five years old. You are still young and learn a craft. Although the apprenticeship contract is ten years, if you learn well, you will arrive later. If you go to a small place, you can definitely live a good life. "

Between the words, the two walked along a road through a gate that was watched by guards. Suddenly, Lucien's eyes lit up, wide roads, neat streets, lively shops on both sides, and coming and going wearing People with colorful clothes of different styles, long skirts, etc., even occasionally appear luxurious clothes, nobles decorated with jewels, even the air seems to be rippling with beautiful music, and it seems that it is Two worlds.

"Thank you Uncle Joel." Lucian could feel Joel's sincere care.

Jolton paused and showed that kind of laughter again: "And, if your master when learning craftsmanship has only one daughter, maybe you can become a boss directly from an apprentice, our little Evans looks good."

Joel was so ridiculous that Lucien could only smile awkwardly.

Talking, Joel stopped suddenly, walked to the corner of the street, put a prepared hat on the ground, and sat beside him, preparing to play the harp.

Uncle Joel is a street artist?Lucien is no stranger to this approach.

Joel pointed to a luxurious and gorgeous building similar to the Baroque style of Lucien's previous life, and said with a smile: "Here you can directly see the hall of the chant. For me, playing here, there is The feeling of playing in the hall of chanting. "

Lucien had n’t answered yet. Joel seemed to be attracted, pointing at the hall of the chanting and nagging, saying: "Since more than four hundred years ago, the church has guided the Holy Helz Empire westward, this ancient Greek The occupation of Alto, the last core of the magical empire of Elvans, drove dark creatures and Warcraft to the vicinity and deep of the dark mountains. Alto has always been one of the most famous cities in the entire continent. "

"And more than three hundred years ago, under the crown of Pope Charles I, who was still a cardinal, in Aalto, he compiled the hymns and song collections of the church, and set the rules for singing music and singing. When he became the pope, he officially formalized Charlie After the chanting and choir were extended to every church, Aalto became the title of the city of chanting. "

"Because of the proximity to the dark mountains, there are often elves, dwarves, kobolds, etc. who change their faith and become members of the Principality. The intersection of different music makes Aalto the music capital of the entire continent. The emergence of polyphonic music and the formal formation of symphony , The invention of musical instruments such as the Gisu violin, etc. are all here. The great musicians have left their names in history. "

"For every minstrel, every musician, every musician, playing his own music in the hall of Aalto chant is the greatest glory."

"Uncle Joel, although I can't enter the hall of chanting, I am very happy to be able to play nearby."

...

Say goodbye to Joel, Lucien asks for directions while experiencing Aalto's style. There are many bartenders playing and singing on the streets and corners. From time to time, there will be singing and piano sounds in the shops and residents' houses. , The whole city seems to be shrouded in music.

After returning to the Adjean district from the other inner city gate, Lucien saw the tavern with the bronze crown at a glance.

Outside the tavern, girls and women came from time to time, sneaking into the inside, and then left in disappointment.
