Throne of Magical Arcana

The beautiful melody echoed in the restaurant, and the quiet and peaceful notes let people involuntarily settle down, but there was no small indoor band in the surroundings. Only a magic gramophone placed on the wall table slowly turned the gum. Black disk.

After a few minutes, the music gradually subsided, the black disk turned, and the servant next to him quickly changed one.

Hearing the sound of music again, John put down the knife and fork in his hand and said to Lucian slightly: "An ordinary black gum disk can only record a few minutes of music, and it is difficult to present a full symphony unless a higher level of pure music is used. Magic black disk, but this is something that ordinary people cannot afford. "

He did not forget his past life, so he paid close attention to ordinary people.

"The problem is that ordinary people can't even use magic gramophones." Lucian joked while cutting the foie gras. "Of course, the price of pure magic black disk is indeed not cheap, equivalent to a second-level alchemy item. By the way, the little nobles can only buy one occasionally. Most of the time, they have to use gum black disk, but the Viscount of Wellesley should not have this problem. "

Because of the combination of magical simplification, Lucien himself did not have a mature solution. He could only redesign and arrange the magic array according to the concept. It could not be done overnight, and he had to come step by step.

After Joel became a director of the Luntat Musicians Association, the whole person became energetic, as if even aging was delayed: "But the number of small nobles is much greater than that of the big nobles, plus the use of most restaurants, gums Black disk has become the mainstream without any doubt, and it is an important source of income for most musicians. Therefore, I find that they are more and more inclined to create simple music for a few minutes, which is easy, rich and rich. "

Lentat ’s musicians are no more than Aalto, and there are not so many opportunities for concerts. In the past, the income mainly came from serving nobles, serving as their music consultants or chief musicians, and after the invention of the magic gramophone, they added one more. The important channel is the "music usage fee", and a certain amount of money is drawn according to the sales of gum black disks and magic black disks infused with your own music.

Because there are precedents for "patent fees" in the exchange and use of magic, plus "Atom Control", you are also a big musician, and magicians do not exclude "song usage fees", except for dividing music according to three, six, nine, etc. In addition to stipulating different share ratios, the Intellectual Property Act passed by the Noble House and signed by the Queen was normally implemented.

Although the magic gramophone is only for the nobles at present, the price is expensive and the musicians have gained a lot. Therefore, under the influence of money and under the influence of the "light music" trend, most musicians are increasingly accepting a few The form of short minutes of music, and this simple and uncomplicated "casual music" has also been welcomed by the general public, making Luntart's music development trend more and more different from Aalto.

In Lucien ’s words, sooner or later Lentart will be the place where popular music and popular songs are born.

Hearing Uncle Joel ’s concerns, Lucien smiled: "Sometimes, changes in musical instruments, changes in the form of music transmission, and changes in the form of music-bearing will all affect the direction of music development, such as the music of the lyre, violin After the invention of music, the music after the invention of the piano, only in this process of continuous change, the music can be kept alive forever, rather than gradually exhausted, so Uncle Joel, do n’t worry that the capacity of the black disk of the gum is too small for music There is a short trend, which allows us to see more different music than the current imagination. "

The most prestigious big musicians currently state such a view with such certainty, Joel himself is a bard and street artist, and has a natural preference for short music, so no doubt, turn the topic into food itself: " I do n’t think you have the talent for food, little Evans, this sweet and sour meat is so delicious! "

"Yeah." Aunt Eliza nodded her mouth, and she was completely focused on them after tasting the food.

At the dining table, except for a few Tria-style dishes such as foie gras, most of the foods she has never seen and never enjoyed. They are very different from the current food styles in any country. As soon as she ate, she couldn't stop talking.

"Thank you, Natasha also loves these foods very much." Lucien accepted the praise unreservedly. Although there are many Chinese dishes, not every one can be liked by people from different worlds. Those on the table are in Nata. The carefully selected parts of Sha on the basis of "Little White Mouse" will of course make Joel, Alisa and John feel like they have swallowed their tongues.

And Lucian is good at magic, and is good at identifying animals and plants. There are many strange things that are not on the earth, so the "hunting range" of Chinese dishes has been expanded again, and the number of varieties has at least tripled. Flesh, what a braised thorn devil tree, and so on.

When Lucian mentioned Natasha, Joel said strangely: "How come Her Majesty did not come tonight?"

Normally, as long as Lucien was in Allinge, she would visit the Joel family at least twice a month, and Natasha followed most of the time.

Lucien still had time to answer, John said first: "Recently, Luntat is undergoing urban reconstruction, and the scope will be expanded to reorganize the defensive magic circle and magic circle. Due to the villas, real estates and manor houses of many nobles, nobles The House often quarrels, so Her Majesty the Queen is very busy and must be coordinated and deterred.

"Lentat's changes are too fast. I have lived in Aalto for more than two decades. The changes I have experienced are not as many as those of Lentat in a few months. I don't know what Lentat will look like in the future. Joel said with some emotion.

After dinner, Lucien and John stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows in the small living room on the second floor with a glass of wine.

Looking at the bright lights of the aristocratic area like the galaxy, John suddenly sighed: "From the time you were implicated in the witch, I felt that I was dreaming, to the dream that has not yet awakened today, all the expectations for the future are realistic. However, it is not as expected, but it deviates greatly. "

"Me too." Lucien looked out the window, his eyes darkened, although the tone was plain, but it really came from his heart, and dreams were not impossible.

Although Lucien has basically ruled out the possibility of dreams in the exploration and research of the world, other similar "truths" still lack decisive evidence to deny, even if he already has a preliminary conjecture about the world, Nor can it be completely concluded that "brain in a cylinder", "virtual world", and "experimental place" are wrong.

Naturally, John could n’t hear Lucien ’s words, and tasted a sip of red wine and said: “My initial dream was to become a true knight, let father, mother, Aven and you all live a rich aristocratic life, but who knows You completed this goal before me and became a musician ... "

"After I became a knight, I was ready to sacrifice in the northern fortress or the dark mountain fortress. This is the knight's home, but you told me that you are a magician, and I was in a long period of confusion ..."

"When I thought we would never meet again, and began to serve the Principality and the Church with peace of mind, Her Majesty took me to Luntat ..."

As he spoke, he laughed: "When I am used to this kind of guardianship with many strong men, I don't need to face too strong dangers and can spend the rest of my life safely, there are often worships of demons and demons in the kingdom. The incident of pollution with the abyss breath made me have to deal with it and face the battle again and again. "

He didn't complain, but showed a little excitement, and his life was completely stable without a trace of wind and waves, making him stand still and could not become a knight.

"Life is always full of accidents and will not proceed according to your expectations." Lucian and John touched their glasses. "And, it's very difficult for you to 'eliminate' your bloodline to be promoted to Heavenly Knight. There is not enough information in the kingdom for you Learn."

The blood aristocrats have the best tempering method of their own blood line and the method of reconciling the will under the inheritance of generations or the exploration of an epic knight, so they are also knights, and the nobles with inheritance are better than the new nobles. It ’s easier to get promoted, so they agreed to the Magic Council ’s announcement of the knight ’s previous training methods to train more talents to fight the church and develop more and more heterogeneous spaces-this bloodline tempering method is their real capital and Must be strictly kept secret.

The "elimination" bloodline itself is scarce, and it is basically absorbed into the ranks of the church's holy knights or night watchmen. Therefore, no one of the nobles of the Holm kingdom is of this bloodline, and naturally there is no corresponding tempering method. John.

Lucian didn't pay attention to this problem, because the bloodline power was obtained by ancient magicians, and various detailed bloodline materials were kept in the parliament, which can be designed for John by studying the situation of "eliminating" the bloodline. A reasonable tempering method, but the information collected by the Council did not actually "remove" the bloodline, which made Lucien doubt the origin of this bloodline and think it was the result of Viken's research.

John didn't care much and laughed: "All the methods of tempering were fumbled by the former knights. I'm not stupid than them. I'm not lazy and afraid of death. Can't I figure it out myself? And Lucian, you didn't say Do n’t be bound by past experience, maybe it ’s a good thing for me. ”

He joked humorously.

…………

After leaving Joel ’s house, Lucian put her hands in the pockets of her long dress, pressed the black top hat down, and walked leisurely in the city of Renta. Watching a city change according to her own thoughts was an achievement. Feeling things.

Passing the civilian area where alchemists gathered, Lucien suddenly saw a dwarf coming towards him, his right hand covering his eyes and saluting: "Steam is supreme."

Then he smiled: "This gentleman, I don't know if you want to join our steam church."

Bringing people into the association directly?This is completely contrary to his orders to the dwarves!Lucien's gaze narrowed slightly, Shen said: "Who are you?"

"Hehe." The dwarf smiled. "Although we haven't really met it, it's considered to have met it directly."

He talked weirdly, but Lucien narrowed his eyes: "Vicken?"
