Chapter 37 The choice of musical instruments

The narrow, crowded, only wooden tables were placed, and the wooden chairs made people enter and exit the difficult home of Aunt Alissa. Lucien and John sat on two chairs next to each other, whispering to talk about the extermination of the cult.

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

"Sir Wien told me that some knights with a high status may have leaked the news, so after we entered the sewer, we only found a large secret room left by the devil believers, and they actually built a devil temple there!" John said solemnly, "and all the devil believers were missing."

Lucien was not surprised by this result. After killing the old cult man, he had only told John that after such a long time, if the cult executives had not discovered the abnormality of their subordinates' disappearance, with this pitiful vigilance and IQ, they should not do the dangerous job of the cult as soon as possible. It is more suitable for them to go home to grow oats: "What about Aaron's gang?"

"The main leaders of the Aaron gang, including Longsang Aaron, have also disappeared. The ordinary gangsters caught have no idea about the devil believers. The judges of the Heretics' Court rarely make mistakes in the interrogation skills of the mixed magical techniques." John frowned, "But these ordinary guys may have been secretly executed now."

When it comes to cults and devils, the church has always been so tough and ruthless.

As for the magician, Lucien felt that the attitude of the church seemed to be gentler. For example, "I" was not secretly executed at the beginning. Of course, it may also be related to the fact that the witch was just a magic apprentice and was not valued.

Lucien has read the religious books in the music library these past two days. There is a book called "The Mager's Hammer". It was written in the 392nd year of the Holy Calendar, which is 423 years ago. It is the work of a famous judge of the heretic inquisition. It mainly teaches the mage hunters, how to identify magicians, track magicians, and how to torture magicians. There are several interesting and cruel words:

"How to identify a magician when it is impossible to determine the secret reconnaissance using divine arts?"

"If the suspect lives a hidden and withdrawn life, then it certainly proves that he is a magician; if the suspect often attends banquets and is enthusiastic and cheerful, then he is obviously disguising himself in order to divert others' suspicion."

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

...

"When you catch the doubter and interrogate him, if you find that your magical magic cannot see through his true face, you can try the following method: If he rolls his eyes while being tortured, it means that he is using his eyes to find the source of his power, that is, the devil; and if his eyes are dull and motionless, it means that he has seen the devil. If he has the power to stand up to torture, it means that the devil can support him, and therefore must torture him more severely; if he cannot bear it and dies under the punishment, it means that the devil will let him die, so that he will not admit it, and will not reveal the secret."

"When all cannot be proved, give the final judgment to us the strict, just, God who masters the truth, and tie the man suspected of being a magician to the stake. If the Lord thinks he is not an evil magician, then he will be safe in the flames. If he is burned to ashes, he is undoubtedly the evil magician, and this is the will of the Lord!"

Compared with this religious classic from more than 400 years ago, Lucien found himself alive, which was so lucky: "Maybe the church has been strong for so many years and has now relaxed its guard against the magicians? It seems that they have focused their main attention on the heresies in the north."

"Have you found something in that temple?" Lucien asked John curiously.

John seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and his expression became very serious and hated: "We knight attendants were just guarding outside the hall. The deep things were all Sir Vine, representing His Majesty, Lord Verdi, Cardinal Salvatore, and the priests who led the knights and priests. Later, Sir Vine did not tell us what he saw in it, but his expression had been very serious 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 around. I heard that they were dug out directly from the chest of a living person."

"In the past, I only knew the cruelty and horror of the devil and evil gods in the description of Sir Wien. I had no heartfelt hatred for them. But after I saw the scene they created for the first time that day, I realized that they were so evil, bloody, cruel, and violent, which made me hate them from the bottom of my heart, wanting to kill them and completely get rid of them."

Seeing John's serious but powerful and purposeful tone, Lucien smiled: "John, have you found your own justice?"

John nodded and shook his head again: "It takes several years or even decades to measure whether it belongs to him. However, compared to the belief of protecting his home and friends, I have more ideas to eliminate evil creatures such as demons and demons and their followers, and very strong ideas."

"I remember there is a special profession in the Knights, called the 'Devil Hunter'. They walk in the dark all year round and risk their lives to get rid of evil creatures. John, do you want to develop in this direction?" Lucien joked with John, "By the way, what is Sir Wien going to reward you?"

John calmed down his expression and laughed: "It is not so easy to stimulate bloodline power. Just look at the number of knights in the entire principality. As for whether to join the Knights or become the "Devil Hunter" in the future, it is still too far away."

Then he said, "Sir Wien intends to reward us knight attendants with a long sword forged by steel, which belongs to us completely. The sword that can be brought home. Haha, the one I was going to give me, Sir Wien said that it will come with some magical power and will be sharper, only a little worse than the official knight's sword."

When talking about the long sword that he had longed for, John actually giggled a few times.

The two talked for a while, and when Joel returned, John wisely stopped the topic, but at the end he reminded Lucien: "I heard from Sir Wien that the whole of Alto will relax on the surface, and secretly strengthen investigation and guarding. Lucien, you have had contact with the witch, and you must not run around during this period, lest you be jealous of you becoming a music student of Mr. Victor."

"Thank you, John." Lucien knew that this was very valuable information. John was willing to reveal it to himself that he was suspected of violating the Knight's way he believed. Although this means that his magic learning will become very troublesome. Some magic that relies on spell casting materials or caused by heavy movements must be suspended, but it also means that the actions of the cult and Aaron gangster will calm down for a long time, their safety will be guaranteed, and those suspected may become lower and lower.

…………

It was another Sunday. Lucien was resting in the morning and sorted out his recent study experience at home. Although he only practiced "Ring of Out of Control", "Master's Hand", "Preservation Organs" and other materials-free magic, for other apprentice-level magic, the analysis and construction of several magic circles have been underway, and the trauma on the soul was completely restored a few days ago. The mental power and soul have once again become significantly stronger with the help of meditation. At least, Lucien can currently cast six informal elemental magic in a row.

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

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

Thanks to religious books and travel notes, Lucien probably knew about the countries 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 were still confused. Of course, most of the Altos were the same as Lucien.

In short, Lucien is very busy with studying and has no time to think about unnecessary things. At most, he occasionally talks with Uncle Joel, Aunt Alissa, Piere, Elena, etc.

…………

"Lucion, I am very satisfied with your diligence in learning. Since you have remembered the preliminary knowledge of music symbols, scales, etc., the next step is to combine the scores and play to skillfully apply 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 learning in the past week, and gave a very high evaluation of his attitude and learning effect. If it was based on Lucien's help inspiring Rhine and Shawell's inspiration for piano transformation, then now, Victor's appreciation and favoritism for Lucien is a teacher's appreciation and favor for satisfactory students.

So Victor was about to let Lucien start learning the instrument as soon as possible: "Lucion, have you figured out what instrument you want to learn? I am personally good at violin, harpsichord, organ and flute, and other instruments, and I can also give some guidance."

Since becoming a magic apprentice, Lucien's life has been filled with busy studies and emergencies. He has not considered what instruments to learn. He is a little hesitant at this time.

According to my inner thoughts, Lucien wanted to learn piano, which was influenced by the regret of loving piano music in the past and not having the opportunity to learn piano. From reality, if you travel to various countries in the mainland and look for the headquarters of the Magic Parliament in the mainland in the future, the violin is the best choice. After all, a bard cannot carry a piano with you.

With Lotte, Phyllis, Herodotus curious and a little cold look, Lucien has not made a choice for a long time.

Seeing this, Victor smiled gently and encouraged, "It's okay, Lucien, it's okay. If you have any ideas, just say it."

After training, Lucien's face was already very thick and asked sincerely: "Mr. Victor, can I learn the piano you have transformed? In addition to this, can I also learn the violin?"

"It's so shameless." This is the only idea of ​​Lott, Phyllis and Herodotus. Do you want to learn for a long time while it's free...

Victor moved his hands and smiled and said, "No problem, but it is best to learn one instrument well and start learning another instrument. Focusing is the main secret to success. Well, because the effect of the harpsichord transformation is better than I thought. Lucien, you can learn it with me first, so that it can help me find some of the problems and see how to better play its characteristics."

"Thank you, Mr. Victor." Lucien was sincerely grateful.
