Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 10 Musicians Association

Recalling the numerous schemes that made a fortune in the novel, Lucien sadly found that he knew too little about the world, and did not know whether these methods were useful, and no matter what, the first pot of gold was particularly important Yes, and I only have seven copper fairs.

Therefore, when the sun at nine o'clock shines on the market area, Lucian has already carried a heavy bag of goods and is heading towards the city gate area. After all, survival is ranked first in many cases.

Sweat fell from his face uncontrollably, drilled into his neck, and soaked his linen clothes. The strong sun shone on Lucien, making him feel more painful with heavy footwork. At the same time, Lucien, who was struggling, had to endure the fat man beside Gucci's chatter:

"Damn, whoever has found such a child, come on, don't break my goods!"

Looking at Gucci who wiped the sweat that came out of jumping up and down with a handkerchief, Lucien sullenly said: "You are all stingy, please only one person."

Of course, in this way, Lucien's remuneration was raised from three copper fairs to four.

Having finally arrived at the Shing Mun District, Lucien put the goods in a safe place on the carriage waiting here.

Fatty Gucci took out the money bag reluctantly, took out four copper fairies, and handed it to Lucien: "Your reward, young man, I didn't expect your strength to be really small. If there is any need to move the goods in the future, I will find you . "

Lucien's strength is actually not as good as the young people of the same age who have been trained, but the price is cheaper. One can be used for two. The stingy Gucci naturally has such a compliment, completely forgetting how he cursed before.

As soon as he got Tong Feier, Lucian saw two men with fierce looks walking in a linen jacket.

"We are the boss of Aaron, you can call me Andre." The talking brunette man showed his identity, and there was a shallow scar on his face.

Lucien knew what they were here for, and was already prepared in her heart, and did not plan to go on her own. She took out a copper fair and handed it to the man named Andrea.

Another burly man glared at Lucien: "Two Copper Fairies!"

"Isn't it good to give only one?" Lucien is now a poor man. Even if he knows that he is currently incapable of fighting gangsters, he can't help but argue.

"If it is not for your own success, Gucci will hire two people, and each person will give us a copper fair. This loss, of course, cannot be borne by us." Andrea smiled like a legitimate businessman.

It ’s just a copper fair, and it ’s not related to the survival and bottom line of Lucien. Therefore, Lucien was hesitated by a gang and a copper fair. Out of a copper fair, he handed it to the man walking around Andre, as if he was showing his strong body.

"Good job, boy, you know the truth. There were always some furry guys who like to challenge us, but, as you can see, we are still here, and some of them have sunk to the bottom of the Belem River. Well, Mag, someone over there. ”Andrea threatened as usual, and with Mag, turned and walked to the other side.

Lucien looked at the backs of the two of them, and he felt a little bit stumped. Although she knew that she would be exploited by the gangsters at the beginning, she still couldn't help but change her emotions when she really encountered them.

After scolding himself that he was not enthusiastic enough, Lucien understood that to get rid of this situation, he must have a strong personal strength or a certain social status.

Of course, in this world, strong personal power often means a high social status.

"I don't know if there is any potion to increase strength and physique in the magic note?" Lucien couldn't help thinking about this, even if he knew it well, it was a dangerous sign, a sign that could not stand temptation.

…………

The association of musicians near the hall of chanting in the administrative area is famous for Aalto ’s unique architectural style. Therefore, Lucien, who pushed the rented four-wheeled cart, just asked the road once and found the name "Fighting Flame" "building.

A large number of vertical lines, small spires, flying buttresses, stained glass, and flame-shaped window lattices give the entire five-story light-colored building an asymmetrical, exaggerated beauty, which is light and complex.

When Lucien came over, a languid, small, middle-aged man with a goatee walked down the steps quickly: "How come it is so late? Look at the clock in the Golden Cathedral, it's already a little faster!"

After Lucien took over the entrusted task, under the arrangement of the dwarf Korn, he had already met the middle-aged man once, knowing that his name was George, and had some relations within the Musicians Association.

"George, there are ten minutes." Lucian pointed to the towering nobility in the distance. It was majestic and thick. It seemed to control the golden cathedral of the whole city. At the top.

George complained: "The servants invited by the association are cleaned in advance. You will come in and hand over with me. Otherwise, the mountain-like garbage piles behind the association and affects the mood of the musicians who come to work.

Lucian was curious about the path of Uncle Joel's dream musician, so without arguing with George, he set the cart aside and let the guard watch, then climbed the steps and walked towards the door.

As soon as he opened the gate inlaid with pieces of stained glass, Lucien saw the bright, grand and spacious hall.

The floor was covered with thick, soft carpets, and there was no footsteps on it. Besides, there were very few people coming and going, and the whole hall seemed quiet and cold.

Led by George, Lucien walked to a half-tall wooden platform in the middle of the hall.

Behind the wooden table, there was a beautiful brunette girl with a sweet smile and a clear voice: "Uncle George, who are you looking for?"

As she said, she took out a jingling money bag and handed it to George. According to Lucien ’s visual inspection, there were at least forty copper fairs. To eight copper fairs.

George took the money bag, exposed two rows of yellow teeth, his eyes narrowed into a line with a smile: "Elena, you find someone to take Lucian to the garden in the back, don't look at his young age and not strong, But the strength is great. "

After he finished speaking, he said to Lucien: "Your money, I will put it in Andre in the city gate area, you can get it when you come back."

Lucian nodded, not worried that George would lose the money. Although the Aaron gang collects the money, it is very credible in this respect. According to Cohen, someone once tried to lose the employment cost. In the end, he paid a double fee obediently.

Elena was about to greet the servants in the hall to take Lucian to carry the garbage in the back garden. Suddenly, she saw a middle-aged man in a big red coat came in and stood up and bowed slightly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Victor. "

The middle-aged man was simple and well-dressed, with a light splayed beard and black curly hair, and sea-like blue eyes with melancholy colors: "Good afternoon, Elena, give me a" Music Review. " "The sound is mellow and thick.

Seeing Elena pull out a brand new newspaper from the cabinet under the wooden table, Lucian couldn't help but be surprised: "Alto has already developed a newspaper? And it's a special type."

Reminiscent of the situation in the slums, Lucien sighed: "The polarization of the world seems serious. However, there should not be many people who understand words, how much money do newspapers have to sell to get the cost back?"

Victor took the "Music Review" in his hand and flipped it randomly, then gave Elena ten copper fairs, nodded politely to Lucien and George, and turned to the stairs beside the hall with the newspaper Go.

"This Mr. Victor is really good-looking." Lucian quietly commented in his heart.

When Victor came upstairs, Lucian asked Elena curiously: "Is this" Music Review "only ten copper fairs?"

Knowing that people like Lucien had no chance of reaching high society just like they used to, Elena could n’t help but show off her knowledge of working at the Musicians ’Association in the past year:“ Although Adelaide is After the cardinal invented the simpler and more general method of making paper, the price of paper is getting cheaper and cheaper. Now a few copper fairs can buy a stack, but only members of our musicians association can get ten copper. Fair bought the Music Review, and everyone else, even the nobles, needed a silver nar. "

"Because this" Music Review "and" Symphony Guide "are two of the most authoritative newspapers in the music field of the entire mainland, representing the direction of music development. Every score and commentary article above is the crystallization of wisdom. This month The "Music Review" even contains comments on the music played by His Majesty the Grand Duke and Her Royal Highness Princess Natasha at the Symphony Orchestra last week. "

I have to admit that Elena is so eloquent, in addition to wanting to show off, Lucien's dark-haired, black-eyed and pretty appearance also played a big role.

"A silver narrative?" Lucien suddenly wanted to rob these newspapers. As long as five copies, her problem can be easily solved, but considering that he can succeed and can't find a buyer, Lucien goes out depressed. This thought.

Elena ’s show-off is more and more happy with the cooperation of Lucien: “Oh, do n’t think that a silver is expensive, in Tria, Antiphle, Efe, Diris, Anhadur These two newspapers are the most sought-after good things, and the most expensive can be sold for a quintal price. The nobles in these countries are all proud of chasing the music trend of Alto, even if they have read the newspapers that have been out of date for a long time. "

Lucien glanced at the remaining newspapers in Elena's cabinet, and withstood the urge to rob, and at the same time summed up some information: "The currency of the entire continent should be unified. Well, the divine church is sure Very powerful. There is probably no such thing as a space teleportation array. Even if there is, the conditions of use must be very harsh. Otherwise, if so many nobles need them, how can they only see outdated newspapers. "

Lucien absorbed water from Elena's words like a sponge, absorbing water. Until ten minutes later, Elena awakened and greeted the hall maid to take Lucien to the back garden.

"Lucien, you must be quiet, don't talk loudly, and don't make loud noises when carrying garbage. Mr. Victor will hold the symphony in the hall for the first time in more than three months. During this time, he was very stressed. Spirit, grace, spirit is more sensitive. "Elena kindly reminded Lucien.

Lucian nodded gratefully to her, then carefully followed the servant to the back garden.
