Throne of Magical Arcana

Victor was in a very bad mood at this time. If he could not satisfy the needs of the harpsichord, the newly written piano concerto could barely reach the level of playing in the hall of the chant, and it was difficult for the nobles and music to come to his concert. The critics and critics are satisfied, and may be criticized by Wolff in the "Music Review" afterwards. Maybe there will be no chance to be invited by the Musicians Association or the Grand Duke to perform in the hall of the second time in the future.

Victor, a musician like this, has met a lot. Every year, there are several outstanding musicians who could not walk from "excellent" to "famous" for a long time. The ranks, and some have even been hit, have gradually become mediocre since then. As for the unlucky egg that desperately committed suicide because of the failure of the first chant hall concert, there is always one every two or three years. The spirit of the musician is sometimes very sensitive. , Slender and fragile.

Therefore, when Lucien interjected blindly and was severely judged by Xavier, Victor couldn't help but feel irritable, but he understood that Lucien wanted to help himself and was kind, so he suppressed the mellow voice and said: "Lucy Um, thank you for your idea, but if all the problems can be solved by combining the harpsichord and the indoor string piano, then the matter has already been solved. "

Rhein looked at Lucien with a smile, as if expecting his answer, while Lott, Herodotus, Phyllis, etc. looked at Lucien with disgust, interjecting when several gentlemen discussed the issue , But it ’s not a kind of educated behavior, and he is still talking nonsense, they all cursed in their hearts: "It really is a rude, arrogant ignorant from the slums."

Although in a short while, Lucien did not understand the two books "Piano Production and Tuning" and "The Principles of Modern Piano Mechanics", or even only the first ten pages, but the main differences between the two pianos and modern pianos I still saw the key points, and compared with the exposed structure of the opened harpsichord, there is already a belly draft of how to answer: "Perhaps some mechanical devices can amplify the distance pressed by the finger to cause the hammer to hit the string. 'S volume becomes louder. "

The vagueness that Lucien said, completely positioned his level to a poor man who had accidentally heard two flaws in the ancient piano at the Musicians Association and was influenced by the atmosphere of Aalto's music in his daily life. Accurate description, such as vibration amplitude.

"Zoom? How do you zoom in?" Xavier's gaze was more severe, and his white eyebrows were squeezed together. These three hundred years of musical instruments have developed fiercely. It is not that no one has had similar ideas. However, after several previous failures, No one tried again.

In the puzzled eyes of Victor and Rhein, Lucien took off a flute on the instrument stand, walked to the desk next to him, picked up a bottle of ink as a fulcrum, and demonstrated the principle of leverage: "I accidentally I saw a farmer who used a wooden stick and small stones to pry a big rock apart, and later found that life was full of such phenomena, did n’t it just enlarge the distance between the upper and lower? "

"This ..." Xavier did not refute, but pondered: "But the speed of the string becomes slow ..." As a harpsichord maker, he soon discovered that such a change would Additional problems.

Originally it was just doubtful and fun, but during Lucien's presentation, Rhine became serious and serious. At this time, he took a step forward and smiled: "Great, Lucien, you discovered the principle of leverage in your life. It's really good at observing and summarizing. "

Lucian seemed to be at a loss on the surface. He didn't seem to understand what Rhein was saying, but he was very surprised. Rhein knew and also called the principle of leverage?

It seems that Victor, Phyllis, Lott and others, even including Xavier, either do not know it at all, or even if they have noticed this phenomenon, there is no summary and no name.

"The principle of leverage was summed up very early on the earth, and deducing the general condition of the mainland from Aalto's living standards, it was found that the principle of leverage is not a strange thing. Perhaps it has already appeared in other countries on the mainland, just because it is In the world of pursuing divine art and blood power, this kind of knowledge spreads very slowly. "Lucien secretly speculated that this kind of life phenomenon could not reach the taboo of the church. After all, the church with real divine art is comparable to that on the earth. I have a lot of self-confidence, and I have never suppressed the development of music, otherwise I would not dare to stand up and demonstrate.

Seeing the strange expressions of everyone, Rhein gently smiled and explained: "This is a phenomenon of life. I also heard about it while traveling in Holm. It has been discovered and summarized by local scholars for hundreds of years, and is called leverage. Principle, but Lucien, you noticed that no, the distance moved and the magnitude of the force are opposite. "

"Of course I do." Lucien said silently, but a confused expression appeared on his face. "Really? It is so? Is it possible to get this lever together?"

Lucien is only going to say that here, the three-level lever transmission method is not understandable to a poor person, as to whether they can inspire them, and to what extent, it is beyond their control.

The rhinestone-like eyes flashed sharply: "Connected together? Multi-level conduction? Try it." So he walked to the harpsichord and discussed it with Xavier in a low voice, and found the feather pen and paper painting. What.

Looking at this scene quietly, Lucian seemed as strange as Lott and Phyllis, but in fact he calmly observed Rhine's behavior and said to himself: "He really is weird, not on the surface. Violinist or bard. "

Victor watched Rhein and Xavier busy with anxiety and expectation, and later joined the discussion on his own to provide professional advice for musicians.

As a result, Lucien, Lott, Phyllis and others were left at the door.

For Lucien who caused such a change, Lott was full of interest, and finally spoke to him: "Actually, I have also seen such a phenomenon, but I have never thought about it deeply. Lucien, you have a rare Quality. How did you think of it? "

Although Phyllis was also curious about Lucien, she pointed to the busy Rhine and Victor in the piano room: "Quiet. If you want to chat, go downstairs." Then she turned her head and focused on the three men Seriously busy scene, do not know what to watch.

Lott hadn't reached the point where he wanted to get familiar with Lucien, and he was more interested in the renovation of the harpsichord, so he nodded, stopped talking, walked into the piano room, and watched at a moderate distance.

As for Herodotus, Colin, Renee, and others, they were very unhappy with Lucien's limelight. They felt dissatisfied and disdainful. Naturally, they did not talk to him, but continued to look at Victor and others, vaguely hope that the transformation failed , Lucien was scolded.

Lucien was also very curious about what effect the revamping of the harpsichord could have, and it was also related to the question of whether the dictionary could be successful next time, so he did not panic and carefully read "Piano Production and Tuning" next to it In the two books of "Principles of Modern Piano Mechanics", the three-level lever transmission method is only an important point of the difference between modern pianos and ancient pianos, but not all.

…………

A loud, thick voice sounded in the piano room, and then dropped down, becoming delicate and soft, like a whisper at night.

"It's great, it's really great." Victor's face was almost rosy, and his mood was very good. Although there are still many problems in the reform of the harpsichord, a key step has been taken, "Thank you You, Rhine, thank you, Mr. Xavier. "

Rhine smiled warmly: "It would be an honor for me to make a wonderful musical instrument."

On the side, Lucien became more and more affirmed by the eccentricity of Rhein. He not only produced a three-level lever transmission, but also combined a reverberation lever system, so that the harpsichord can play in rapid succession: "Fortunately, He hasn't made any other installations, otherwise, I would think he has seen a modern piano. "

Victor gave Rhein and Xavier a warm hug respectively, and walked to Lucien, arms outstretched, and embraced Lucien: "Thank you again, Lucien, without you, it is difficult for us to go in this direction. Think. Thank you, Lord, for giving us the most critical guidance at the most critical moment. "

"It's nothing, Mr. Victor, I just said my rash thoughts, but I didn't expect it to work." Lucien was not used to hugging a man and was a little restrained.

Victor let go of Lucien, laughing, and sincerely said: "No matter what, thank you, Lucien, whatever you have asked, I will be satisfied if I can meet it."

This sentence caused Lott, Phyllis, and Herodotus to look at Lucian slightly jealously, and it was great to receive such gratitude from Mr. Victor.

Without the permission of Mr. Victor, Anne, Colin and others who followed him to learn music became more envious and jealous. The meaning of this sentence is very clear, indicating that Mr. Victor is willing to accept Lucien as a real student— —Real students who study music, which is a good thing each of them dreams of.

Lucien's head was full of other thoughts and blurted out:

"Can you lend me the" Universal Dictionary "?"

"Poof." Rhein couldn't help but chuckled. This requirement was too low. Even the complicated emotional Lott and Phyllis all curled their lips and laughed. Lucian didn't understand Victor What does sir mean?

Victor's laughter was very lively, and in his eyes, Lucien had become a simple and honest young man: "You can borrow the" Universal Dictionary "at any time, do you have any other requirements?"

Lucien was very surprised by the reactions of Rhein, Phyllis and others. He was a little hesitant. He was embarrassed to speak and felt that his requirements were too high. After all, the main idea and transformation were completed by Rhein.

"Huh, he finally knows how valuable Mr. Victor's gratitude is." The idea echoed in the hearts of Anne, Colin and others, who looked at Lucien's expression with a complex gaze.

Victor smiled mellowly: "It's okay, Lucien, don't be shy, just ask."

Lucian nodded and asked sincerely:

"Mr. Victor, can I learn tuition free of charge?"

"Hahaha." Rhine suddenly laughed, unable to maintain his elegant image.
