Chapter 63 The Hall of Psalms

The night sky is dark and deep, with countless stars embellished. Lucien once again tempers his spiritual power and soul with the help of the star power in meditation.

Among these star powers, the star power line from the main star of its own destiny is the clearest and easiest to control.

The mental power is stained with pure starlight little by little and spreads to the soul, making the soul seem to emit a faint bright light.

This layer of light slowly merged into the soul, and Lucien felt that his soul was strong at a clear sense of speed.

Before becoming an advanced magic apprentice, the growth and strength of mental power and soul were so obvious that the witch only took a year to go from a trainee magic apprentice to a higher level. Lucien was not slower than her.

Under the influence of the storm potion, Lucien's mental power is stronger than usual, so the star power that can be mastered is used to temper oneself more than usual. Soon, Lucien's soul felt a sense of fullness.

However, there is also a force of expanding outward in this sense of fullness, which allows Lucien to see the opportunity and fail to stop meditation.

The soul seemed to be expanding and shrinking, compressing and fusing the star power with itself. Finally, Lucien discovered for the first time that the soul seemed to have a heavy and solid illusion.

After the meditation, the hallucination disappeared, but Lucien felt that his mind was unprecedentedly clear, and understood that he had finally become a formal magic apprentice, and his soul had a little mutation that others could not detect. In the future, he could effectively weaken the attacks that control the mind, chaotic spirit, and suppress the will. The recovery speed was nearly twice as high as before, and the mental power sensing became clearer from very vague.

"But such a breakthrough will cause great harm to the body. Even if you persist in exercising, if you cannot become a formal magician in the future and use magical means to extend your life, I am really afraid that I will not live to be sixty years old." The disappearance of the potential of the storm potion overdrawing made Lucien feel deeply tired and weak. After checking his own condition, he fell into a deep sleep again.

After becoming a formal magic apprentice, Lucien's mental power will usher in a rapid growth stage, until the minor obstacle of the advanced magic apprentice.

…………

A few days later, with the help of Lucien, the "original author", Victor successfully perfected the melody and details and adapted it into a symphony. Then the band used repeated practice and the assistance of the outstanding performer Rhine, and finally played the music skillfully when Othello came to listen.

After listening to the Symphony of Destiny, Othello stood up in the empty concert hall and applauded for a long time: "Before, the melody could not be used to accurately judge the value of this piece, but now I feel relieved that this must be a piece that can cause a sensation. Say it again, Victor, you have a good student."

"Also, Lucien, you are indeed an unimaginable genius, but genius will always be criticized, especially if you can't even play the piano well. If you can't keep the pace of writing a great work every or two years, you're ready to face the overwhelming doubts and criticisms."

“Being famous too early is not a good thing for you.”

Othello was still very sorry that Lucien did not devote his musical talent to serious religious subjects, shook his head and turned away.

Seeing Othello's back disappearing from the concert hall gate, Victor said to Lucien with some guilt: "I was hit by this song that day, which made me so excited and impulsive. Although no one would suspect that you were plagiarized, although genius does not need a reason, I did not consider the pressure that will bring to you as soon as possible."

"It's okay, Mr. Victor, I have a tough heart, and pressure will only give me motivation." Although Lucien himself doesn't want to become famous too early, since he has reached this point, why not make good use of this reputation? At least he can start to get in touch with the upper class. He doesn't want to buy Moonlight Rose Powder and have no place to buy it. Maybe he can earn Jintaler with this reputation and create conditions for his magic learning.

Victor nodded: "I believe your will to face difficulties and pressures, but in the past year, I will try my best to block other things for you and let you concentrate on mastering the piano. Otherwise, a talented musician would not even play the instrument well and would be strongly questioned."

After saying this, Victor continued: "Two days later, you and Lott and the others will follow me to the backstage of the Psalm Hall, and as the creator of the music, if you want, you can invite some friends to the concert, but the number of people cannot be too large, keep it below five."

Although the concert at the Psalm Hall is only for the upper class, and the ticket is equivalent to the savings of a civilian for one to two years, that is, a Kintale, it will humanely leave certain seats for musicians, conductors, performers, etc. so that their relatives and friends can participate.

"Really? That's great." Thinking of Uncle Joel's wish, Lucien replied happily, because he didn't know when he would leave the City of Psalm and whether he had the opportunity to hold a concert in the Hall of Psalm.

Although Lucien himself did not feel regretful, and would even breathe a sigh of relief, if he could satisfy Joel's wishes now, Lucien would of course be very happy, "Uncle Joel, Aunt Alissa, John, Alvin, and Elena, there were exactly five of them."

…………

In the small living room of Alissa's house, Lucien took advantage of the dinner time to bring up the matter: "Uncle Joel, Aunt Alissa, Alisney, Ivan, that's right. My teacher, Mr. Victor, will hold a concert in the Psalm Hall on Saturday night, so I can invite some friends to attend. Would you like to go?"

"Psalm Hall? Is it really OK?" Aunt Alissa asked excitedly. Listening to a concert in Psalm Hall is the dream of every Alto, but the expensive tickets and implicit discrimination made it impossible for poor people like Alisa and most civilians to enter Psalm Hall.

Seeing Lucien nodding affirmation, Joel said happily but puzzledly: "Isn't only the relatives and friends of the musicians invited?"

"Maybe the musician's students' friends are fine, too..." Alisa thought of a reason for Lucien, while Alvin said with his eyes glowing: "Go to the Psalm Hall to listen to a concert? I must be the most enviable child in the Adejean District."

Lucien thought that every guest attending the concert would get a song list with the title of the song, composer, adapter, etc., so he answered without any concealment: "I helped Mr. Victor complete a work, so I am qualified to invite my friends."

"You? Help Mr. Victor complete a work?" Joel, as a bard, understood the difficulty of creating a piece of music better than Alissa and Alvin. The wooden fork in his hand fell on the table, "Little Evans, is it true?"

He originally wanted to say, "Little Evans, lying is not a good habit." But thinking of Lucien's performance for a long time was not like a person who lied about such things, so he just asked a question simply.

Lucien did not explain and smiled, "Uncle Joel, you will know then."

Joel shook his head and laughed: "Little Evans, you have grown up and have your own secret. Although I still can't believe it, maybe our little Evans is really a musical genius? We have to rent a few dresses, wait for the concert to start, and wait for your performance to create the music. I don't think you will disappoint me." Without hearing the music, Joel's surprise quickly recovered, looking forward to it with a half-believing attitude.

Aunt Alissa's face turned rosy, as if she was several years younger, and then said with some concern: "We will tell John, but he doesn't know if he can come. If he missed your first music performance, it would be a pity."

...

As for Lucien's invitation, Elena, who had accepted his excellent work, was very happy and nodded without hesitation. For her who wanted to develop on the musical path, the concert of Psalm Hall was even more significant, and this showed that Lucien really regarded herself as a friend.

…………

On Saturday, at 8 p.m., outside the Psalm Hall, carriages slowly drove up, and those who pulled the cart were majestic and powerful dragon scale horses.

Some of the carriages were gorgeous, some were low-key, some were exquisite, and some were grand, but the badges of their own family were engraved outside the carriage. The beautifully dressed gentlemen, ladies, came down from the carriage, took the music list from the waiter, and led them into the hall of the Psalm Hall, and greeted each other.

"Sir, I didn't expect you to have returned to Alto from your territory." A middle-aged man saluted a man with fiery red hair. The other nobles around him also held a very respectful attitude towards the man, because he was the head of the Hein family, one of the major families of Alto, Earl Hain, and the uncle of Phyllis.

Earl Hayn smiled and said, "This is a concert for my little niece teacher, and Alto has had a lot of things recently. Of course, we old guys will come back to play for His Majesty the Grand Duke." He is a third-level knight with a "fire" bloodline. Although he is over fifty years old, he can't see any trace of old age. Moreover, his son, 32-year-old Harrington, has just become a sixth-level knight, consolidating the family's position.

"You are such a loyal knight, Lord Earl." Other nobles praised them.

Earl Hayn took the song list, looked at it casually, and smiled curiously: "Lucine Evans? Why didn't I know that Victor has such a student and is able to write music."

A noble lady, Evette, followed by confusion: "Phyris has been helping her teacher prepare a concert for the time being. I haven't met her much, but when she went to the manor for vacation a few months ago, she had never mentioned Lucien at all. It's really strange."

"Then let us look forward to the works created by this strange composer." Earl Hayn said, walking towards the hall of the Psalm Hall, while handing the sword to the guards and allowing them to check their belongings.

Because Grand Duke Vaurit was to participate, the inspection was strictly carried out to prevent the assassination.

However, the guards did not check too carefully, because the entire Psalm Hall was equipped with a super-large anti-magic array, and magic and supernatural forces under the legendary realm would be banned. This is a masterpiece that the church took more than a hundred years to complete.

Not long after Earl Hayn entered, the two teams of guards wearing red uniforms with a golden stripe on their left chest ran together and led the way. Surrounded by them, two low-key dark purple carriages drove over.
