Throne of Magical Arcana

Chapter 37 Choice of Musical Instruments

Narrow, crowded, with only a wooden table and wooden chairs, it made people difficult to get in and out of Aunt Alyssa ’s house. Lucian and John sat on the two chairs next to each other and whispered this cult Things.

At this time, Joel was still playing on the streets of the administrative district, Aiwen played with friends of the same age nearby, and Aunt Elisa was preparing dinner.

"Sir Wien told me that there might be a knight who is not low-profile, so when we entered the sewer, we only found a big secret room left by the devils believers, and they actually built a devil hall there!" John He solemnly said, "And the devil believers are all missing."

Lucien didn't have many surprises with this result, because after killing the old cult man, he went to tell John after a whole night. For such a long time, if the senior cult leader has not discovered the abnormality of the disappearance of his subordinates, this pitiful With their vigilance and IQ, they still do n’t want to do the dangerous work of cult as soon as possible. It ’s more suitable for them to go home and grow oats: "What about the Aaron gang?"

"The Aaron gang, including Longsan Aaron, the main leader has also disappeared. The ordinary gangsters caught have no knowledge of the devil believers. The heretical judges of the heretic referee mixed the magical interrogation skills and rarely made mistakes. "John's golden eyebrows were frowned." But these ordinary guys may now have been secretly executed. "

In matters involving cults and demons, the church has always been so tough and ruthless.

As for the magician, Lucien feels that the attitude of the church seems to be a little softer. For example, "self" was not executed in secret. Of course, it may also be related to that the witch is only a magic apprentice and is not valued.

Lucien read the religious books in the music library in these two days, there is a book called "Magician's Mallet", which was written in 392 years of the Holy Calendar, that is, 423 years ago, it was The work of a magistrate of a famous heretic referee mainly teaches mage hunters and night watchmen how to identify a magician, track the magician, and how to torture the magician. There are several interesting and cruel words:

"How can I identify a magician in the case of a secret investigation using divine magic?"

"If the suspected person is living a secluded and secluded life, then this of course proves that he is a magician; if the suspected person often attends banquets with enthusiasm and cheerfulness, then he is obviously pretending to divert others' doubts."

"If he looks scared when he knows you as a mage hunter or night watchman, he must be a magician. If he keeps calm, then he is undoubtedly a magician, because magicians are used to lying and covering up shamelessly."

...

"When catching the doubter and interrogating him, if he finds that his magic cannot see through his true face, then he can try the following method: if he turns his eyes vigorously while being sentenced, it means he is looking with his eyes The source of its strength is the devil; if his eyes are dull and unmoved, it means that he has seen the devil. If he has the strength to stand the torture, it means that the devil can support him, so it must be more Severely tortured him; if he couldn't bear it, and died under the penalty, it meant that the devil let him die, making him confess and not revealing secrets. "

"When all cannot be confirmed, give our final judgment to our strict, just, truth-holding God, and tie this suspected magician to the torture rack, if the Lord thinks he is not evil Magician, then he will be safe in the flames. If he is burned to ashes, there is no doubt that he is an evil magician, this is the will of the Lord! "

Compared with this religious classic more than four hundred years ago, Lucien found herself alive, how lucky it was: "Maybe after the church has been so strong for so many years, it has now relaxed its vigilance against magicians? It seems that they will mainly 'S attention is focused on heretics in the North. "

"Did you find anything in that temple?" Lucian asked John with some curiosity.

John seemed to recall some bad memories, his expression became very serious and hated: "We knights and servants just stayed outside the hall, and the deep things are all represented by His Majesty the Grand Duke Sir Wien and Lord Verdi , Cardinal Salvatore led the knights and priests to deal with it. Later, Sir Wien did not tell us what he saw in it, but his expression has been very dignified since he came out. "

"Although I was guarding outside the Devil's Hall, I still saw the ground covered with a layer of blood and the red hearts placed near the gate. They were still jumping up and down, I heard that it was from It was dug directly in the chest of a living person. "

"I used to know the brutality and horror of demons and evil spirits in the stories of bards and the description of Sir Wien, and there was no heartfelt hatred towards them, but that day I first saw them directly. After the scene, I realized that they were so evil, bloody, cruel, and tyrannical. I hated them from the bottom of my heart. I wanted to kill them, and I wanted to get rid of them completely. "

Seeing John's solemn but powerful tone and purpose, Lucian smiled: "John, have you found your justice?"

John nodded and shook his head again: "It takes a few years, or even a few decades, to measure whether it is your own justice. It is just that I have more to get rid of the devil than the belief of protecting my home and friends. , Evil demons and other believers and their believers have very strong ideas. "

"I remember that there is a special profession in the knights called" Devil Hunter ". They walk in the darkness all year round, risking their lives in order to get rid of evil creatures. Do you want to develop in this respect, John?" Lucy? En teased John's joke, "Yes, what is Sir Venn going to reward you?"

John eased his expression and smiled: "It's so easy to stimulate blood power. Just look at the number of knights in the Principality. As for whether to join the knighthood or become a" devil hunter "in the future, it is too far away."

Then he said, "Sir Wien intends to reward several of our knight servants with a long sword made of stainless steel, a sword that is completely his own and can be brought home, hehe, the one that is going to be given to me, Sir Wien It said that it will be accompanied by some magical powers and will be sharper, only a little worse than the official knight sword. "

Mentioning the long-sought long sword, John smirked a few times.

The two talked for a while. When Joel returned, John wisely stopped the conversation, but finally reminded Lucien: "I heard from Sir Wien that the entire Aalto would seem to relax, and Secretly step up investigations and vigilance. Lucien, you have had contact with witches during this time. You must not run around at this time, so as not to be framed by someone who envied you as a music student of Mr. Victor. "

"Thank you, John." Lucian knew that this was very valuable information. John was willing to reveal to himself that he was already suspected of violating the knighthood he believed, although this meant that his study of magic would become very troublesome. Some magic that relies on casting materials or causes large movements must be suspended, but it also means that the actions of the cult and the Aaron gang will calm down for a long time, and their own safety will be guaranteed. It is suspected that It may get lower and lower.

Another Sunday, Lucien rested in the morning and sorted out his recent learning experience at home. Although he only practiced material-free magic such as "Ring of Control", "Mage's Hand", and "Save Organ", but for other apprentices The analysis and construction work of first-level magic and several magic arrays have been ongoing, and the wounds on the soul have been completely restored a few days ago. The spiritual power and soul are again significantly strengthened with the help of meditation. At least, Lu Sean can now cast six informal elemental magics in a row.

In the Soul Library, as long as you can find the relevant books, Lucien is also reviewing in depth.

The mutant water ghost brain tissue is preserved intact by the magic of "preserving organs". As long as the cast is performed once a day, it can be preserved for at least three years. Lucien has enough time to find other materials.

Thanks to the reading of religious books and travel notes, Lucien probably knows the countries currently under the glory of the "God of Truth". As for the heretic countries in the north, the pagan countries, the dark creatures in the dark mountains, etc., they are still at a loss. Of course, most Altos are the same as Lucien.

In short, Lucien's study is very busy, and she has no time to think about extra things. At most, she occasionally chats with Uncle Joel, Aunt Elisa, Pieru, Elena, etc.

…………

"Lucien, you are very satisfied with your diligence in learning. Now that you have remembered the preliminary knowledge of musical symbols and scales, then the next step is to use the scores and performance to use and master them, and gradually Extend to a deeper knowledge of music theory. "

In the afternoon, after Anne and others left, Victor inspected Lucien's music study in the last week, and gave him a very high evaluation of his attitude and learning effect. If it was said that Lucien helped inspire Rheinland, Xavier is grateful for the inspiration of the piano. Now, Victor is a kind of teacher's appreciation and favor of Lucien for Lucien.

So Victor was ready to let Lucien start learning musical instruments as soon as possible: "Lucien, do you want to learn what kind of musical instrument? I am personally good at violin, harpsichord, pipe organ and flute. I can also make other instruments. Certain guidance. "

Since becoming a magic apprentice, Lucien's life has been filled with busy learning and emergencies. He hasn't considered what specific musical instrument to learn, and is a little hesitant at this time.

According to his inner thoughts, Lucien wanted to learn piano. This was influenced by the pity that he liked piano music in the past and the regret of not having the opportunity to learn piano. However, starting from reality, if I travel in various countries on the mainland in the future, I will look for the Continental Magic Council Headquarters, that violin is the best choice. After all, it is impossible for a bard to carry a piano with him.

In Lot, Felice, and Herodotus' curious and aloof eyes, Lucien had no choice.

Upon seeing this, Victor smiled gently and encouraged: "It's okay, Lucien, it's okay, what do you think, just say it."

After tempering, Lucien's face was already thick, and he asked sincerely: "Mr. Victor, can I learn your piano? Can you learn the violin besides this?"

"It's shameless." This is the only idea of ​​Lott, Felice and Herodotus. Want to take advantage of it for free and study for a long time ...

Victor doubled his hands and smiled, "No problem, but it's better to learn another instrument before starting another instrument. Focusing is the main secret of success. Well, because the effect of the harpsichord transformation is better than I imagined it okay, Lucien, you should follow me to learn it first. This will help me find some of these problems and see how to make better use of its characteristics. "

"Thank you, Mr. Victor." Lucian sincerely appreciated.
