Chapter 104 The ignorant visitor

——Thank you, many monthly tickets are ahead again. I am very happy, even if I can’t keep it up later. Because I saw everyone’s enthusiasm. Although the alliance is very good, for me, what is more important is everyone’s support. Everyone has high fireworks, unity is strength, and no one can make a thousand miles without taking a single step.

OK, I don’t know what I’m talking about, anyway, thank you, the third update will be given.

………………………………………………………………………………

In the month of Vitality (March), the weather gradually got rid of the cold. When the caravans in Alto began to increase slowly.

As we enter the last week of March, it seems that people from all the countries around us have come to Aalto. This big city standing in the western part of the mainland has become crowded and enthusiastic, because after a few days, the "Aalto Music Festival" of the mainland music festival will be held every three years. Countless musicians, musicians, bards, and aristocrats who like music, merchants rushed to Aalto one after another.

In addition, it was originally an adventurer, and the mercenaries entered the last big city before the Dark Mountains, so Aalto burst out with unprecedented vitality during this period.

Even in the afternoon, the gates of Nolan District were still crowded, and the beautiful pink-haired girl Lilith helped to pull her brother Sarah and slowly walked into the city with the crowd.

"Brother, where are you looking? Concentrate on walking!" Lilith gritted her teeth and roared Sarah, but she did not speak loudly, as if she was afraid of attracting others' attention.

Sixteen-year-old Lilith is lively and beautiful, but she always seems to have a faint melancholy temperament, which makes her fascinated many boys in her small town in her hometown. There is even a son of a little noble who wants to give up his title for her and not marry a noble of the same bloodline.

Sarah stretched her neck hard, with an excited expression on her face: "Lilith, look, that's the moon elves! What a delicate and beautiful appearance! Those ears really shaking themselves like legends. It's so cute!" He pointed to several beautiful elf girls who entered the city not far away and said to his sister.

Lilith surged up curiosity and looked over there with difficulty on tiptoe.

The silver moon-like skin, delicate and beautiful face, and the neck contain several beautiful "divine patterns" like deep and secrets. The long fingers and slightly shaking sharp ears all make these moon elves exude strange charm.

"Nothing is much more beautiful than me," Lilith muttered slightly on the ground, and then she twisted Sara hard, "Brother, put away your pervert's heart and pay attention to your behavior. This is Alto, a city that God is paying attention to!"

When talking about the two words "God is paying attention", Lilith subconsciously lowered her voice and looked carefully and alertly at the crowded crowd around her.

Sarah, who was pink in color, looked a little feminine, and looked a little feminine. He regretfully withdrew his gaze and saw that he had entered the city, hurriedly pulled his sister to a remote corner: "Lilith, relax, do you think it's because you are so low-key and nervous, or is I so enthusiastic and relaxed, which is more likely to arouse the suspicion of the church?"

"But after all...we are magic apprentices after all." Lilith looked left and right, and the words of magic apprentices were vaguely sent out in her mouth.

Sara spread her hands: "So what? No one in Alto knows. We will leave after consulting a scholar for a few questions."

"Don't you participate in the Alto Music Festival, brother?" Lilith looked very disappointed.

Sarah showed her brother's majesty and shook her head: "It depends on the interpretation. If time is tight, we must leave immediately. Lilith will be able to participate in the music festival in three years, and whether we can become official magicians may only have this opportunity in this life! Don't be willful, we will be mysterious and powerful magicians."

The word "Magic" Sarah is just expressed in lip shape.

"I understand that the Alto Music Festival is once every three years." Lilith, who grew up in a horrible life, knew that she had no right to be willful, "We will be noble and mysterious magicians."

…………

In Tongguan Tavern, adventurers and mercenaries chatted loudly and made dirty words from time to time. Occasionally, two people fell in love with each other and would make an appointment to go to the back door of the tavern, the guest room on the second floor, etc. to solve physiological or financial problems.

Lilith grew up in a small town. Although there were many hooligans in the tavern, there were no people here who were vicious and unscrupulous. After trying hard to avoid pairs of malicious hands, she finally squeezed into the front of the bar with her brother Sarah.

"Hey, don't you two have a drink?" The dwarf Koen was already drunk as usual.

Restraining his urge to use magic to kill all the damn men behind him, Lilith nodded to Coon, probably knowing the rules of the tavern: "Give us two glasses of ale."

Kouen cheered: "Himmer, the dwarf Kouen likes a generous little girl like you the most. I'll invite you another glass of ale."

Three glasses of wine that were foaming and radiating the mellow oatmeal were quickly placed in front of Sara and Lilith.

After paying for Tongnall, Sara held the wine glass and tasted it: "Very good ale."

"Of course, the dwarf Koon won't sell wine that he doesn't like." Koon's eyes flashed with a brief awakening, "Do you have something to do?"

"Uncle Dwarf, we are from a small town near Alto. By chance, we got an ancient document and wanted to find scholars to interpret the contents." Lilith vaguely said about her brother and sister's purpose, "Can you introduce a few scholars to us?"

Koen burped: "Are ancient documents written in the text of the Magic Empire or the common language? Or the language of elf, dwarf, dragon, abyss, and hell?"

"The manuscript we obtained is not the original document, and has been translated into a common term." Sara and her sister looked at each other and nodded slightly, "But because there is no document in the front and back sections, we can't understand this manuscript at all, so we want to find a scholar to interpret it."

Kouen laughed: "I'm afraid this document involves a treasure, right?" After being the owner of the Adventurer Tavern for so many years, he has seen many similar things. Some people became rich and bought manors, while others disappeared forever.

"We don't know either, because we can't understand it at all." Lilith concealed the key points and tried to squeeze out an honest smile.

Coon took a sip of ale: "I was able to live until now because I never asked the guests' secrets. If you want to interpret your literature for scholars, you can only be historians. Alto's famous historians include Baker and Alfonso..."

"Who do you think is the best?" Lilith asked cautiously, "or who is the best?"

Koon shook his long golden beard tied into braids with exaggerated swaying: "No one is suitable, because they are all nobles! Only nobles and priests are proficient in ancient languages, able to read historical documents, and know many secret things. It is very likely that your manuscript will be seen when you are in front of them."

"Is there really no suitable scholar?" Lilith and Sarah were both disappointed, but admitted that Coon was right. He was indeed easily suspected when he took such an ancient document to the nobles. Once he was suspected, facing powerful churches and noble officials, his brother and sister who had no background would be forcibly arrested and interrogated. "Does there not be a historian of non-noble origin?"

This type of historian cannot access many hidden documents and is not very alert to magicians and cultists.

Koen shook his head again: "It's not a nobleman, there's no possibility of becoming a historian. Wait..." He suddenly remembered something, "I know a scholar from a poor family, who is also a 'historian'."

"Which gentleman is it?" Lilith asked expectantly, Sarah had the same expression.

Coon said proudly: "This scholar is Lucien Evans, a talented musician and a 'historian'."

"Mr. Evans, who wrote the piano sketches "Dedicated to Sylvia" and "The First Movement of Serenade in G Major"?" Lilith's mouth was opened into a round shape, and the expression on her face was very complicated, with surprises, fanatics, surprises, and unbelievable, "He is also a historian?"

Sarah's expression is not much better than her sister.

Coon finished the glass of wine: "Don't you believe it? Lucien, but I grew up watching him, is a very smart and talented young man. Hiccup. Anyway, I heard from the Musicians Association that many musicians would ask Lucien for historical issues when writing music, and call him "historian". This seems to be because he read all the non-secret historical documents in the Latasha Palace in order to create new works. His Royal Highness Baker even asked scholar Mr. Baker to help him translate ancient books and documents."

"But even so, Mr. Evans has only been studying history for five or six months." Sarah still didn't believe it.

Koon was dissatisfied: "Hmph, His Highness the Princess and Mr. Baker both praised Lucien for his excellent talent for sorting and induction, unique ideas about history, and his memory is very strong. He can become a qualified historian for five or six months. Genius does not need a reason!"

Since Lucien became famous, Victor's words have become household names in Arto.

"If there is no other suitable scholar, we may be able to find Mr. Evans." Lilith looked at her brother carefully and expectantly.

Koon saw her expression: "Little girl, do you really want to see Lucien?"

"Of course, I like Mr. Evans's music very much, especially "Dedicated to Sylvia", which shows us pure and beautiful music with simple melody." Lilith was excited. "I want to attend the Alto Music Festival just to meet Mr. Evans and listen to his playing."

"Uncle Dwarf, you have watched Mr. Evans grow up since childhood. Can you tell me if he has a noble temperament and is he very handsome?" Lilith asked expectantly and shyly.

Koon laughed: "Of course, Lucien is a handsome guy."

Lilith, who received a satisfactory reply, looked at her brother. Her expectant eyes softened Sarah and she really couldn't find any other suitable scholars. So he nodded and said, "Let's wait and go find Mr. Evans."

"You have to wait until tomorrow, because Lucien was working on and practicing comfortably in order to prepare for the festival's performances in his suburbs of the 'Brons' manor, and now it is almost time for the city gate to close." Coon reminded them.

"Brons" means quiet in the common term.

Lilith pulled up her brother's sleeve and walked out: "Go now."

"What should I do if I can't enter the city at night?" Sarah was puzzled.

"It just so happens to be with the help of Mr. Evans' estate."

“…”

…………………

When Lilith and Sarah arrived at the "Brons" manor, it was already dark. The main house of the manor was like a monster lurking quietly in the dark against the night and the black forest on the back.

"How come this manor feels gloomy..." Lilith shivered subconsciously.

Sarah felt the same way, but he forced a smile and said, "It's always like this at night."

After telling their purpose to the guards guarding the manor gate, Lilith and Sarah were soon greeted by the butler Mr. Lopez.

"The master told me to take you to the living room." Lopez was the original housekeeper of this manor. He was in his fifties, solemn and steady. Lucien did not take any replacement because he could leave at any time.

It was dim, but it was not time for dinner, and the main room had not yet lit the lights, making it look even more gloomy and dark.
