Chapter 77 Lata Summer Palace
After the low communication, Phyllis turned around and saw Anne, Colin and the others all showed signs of coming up to talk to Lucien, and they couldn't help but smile. They seemed to want to satisfy their curiosity and congratulations to Lucien, but taking the opportunity to get closer is probably the real purpose.
So Phyllis blocked Lucien halfway behind him, patted his palms gently, and smiled beautifully: "Ladies and gentlemen, to celebrate the great success of Mr. Victor's concert, and to celebrate our classmate Lucien becoming a recognized genius in the music industry, I would like to invite everyone to the dance party on Friday night. This matter has been approved by Mr. Victor, and now I want to know your wishes."
In Phyllis's opinion, with the help of the moonlight rose, she and Lucien have a close relationship, so she subconsciously doesn't want Lucien to have deep friendships with other classmates. Of course, it is best to enjoy this kind of resource by herself. However, she also understands that she cannot interfere in Lucien's life. Only more interactions, more entanglements and exchanges of interests are the best way to maintain a relationship.
Renee reacted first and said with a bright smile: "Really? It's my honor to be a guest at Miss Phyllis's estate."
After she agreed, Lott, Anne, Herodotus and others also answered one after another.
Seeing that everyone was willing to accept her invitation, Phyllis turned around and kept her beautiful smile: "What about you, Lucien? Are you willing to visit my manor?"
A thought suddenly popped up in Lucien's mind and replied with a smile: "Of course, this is my honor, Philis."
Hearing Lucien's promise, Renee and others' expressions seemed to be a little more excited.
At this time, the refreshed Victor walked down from the second floor with his book: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, let's start our study. The dance party is still several days away."
Lucien found a seat casually and was about to sit down. When passing Lott, Lott leaned into Lucien's ear and whispered: "I heard that McCantz doesn't like you very much and may cause trouble for you. Of course, you are already the music consultant of His Royal Highness the Princess, and he can't make things difficult for you directly. But it is very likely that the trap will make you ugly and discredit your reputation."
"Thank you, Lott, I'll be careful." Lucien thanked politely, but he didn't have the mood or energy to consider this. Saving Joel's family was like putting out a fire. Every day passed, there was less hope for a successful rescue.
Of course, Lucien also knows that he cannot act recklessly, and he must wait patiently for opportunities and make various preparations, because this is a very dangerous thing. The faster he wants to solve it, the less likely he will succeed.
So Lucien's current state is like walking on the steel wire between two cliffs. On the left is slow and procrastination, on the right is impatient and reckless. No matter where you lean, you will fall to the bottom of the cliff and be crushed to pieces. Only by maintaining a perfect and extremely difficult balance can you succeed.
With the help of his super memory and good learning methods, Lucien's learning of words has been almost done. All he lacks is the accumulation of rare words. Therefore, Lucien, Lott, Philees and others are learning music this afternoon. For Lucien, immersing himself in learning also helps him stay calm.
In this calmness, combined with the information obtained and tested in the past two days, a bold plan gradually took shape in Lucien's mind.
After the study was over, Lucien returned to his cottage and packed up some items and took them to the garden villa he rented from No. 116, Jisu District. This seemed to be a very normal process of moving slowly. Therefore, at night, only one sentence was mentioned on the blank paper: "Mr. Evans, please keep your intelligence at Lata Summer Palace tomorrow and do not do stupid things, otherwise the consequences will be your own responsibility."
…………
The quiet night passed quickly. Lucien used his forced calmness and the little hypnotic knowledge he could learn in the "Eye of Stars" to prevent himself from insomnia due to anxiety, and he slept very heavily and was in good spirits when he woke up.
"Today will be a critical day, and there must be no mistakes!"
There was no new order on the blank paper. After Lucien had breakfast, he went to the Musicians Association and occupied a small piano room. He used piano practice to distract himself and avoided being so nervous.
Perhaps it is the life of drastic changes in recent days that has given Lucien the feeling of being played with by fate and countless difficulties and dangers. Perhaps it is because he has been watching various music by Beethoven recently, so after a barely smooth melody of fate, Lucien subconsciously played Beethoven's eighth piano sonata in C minor, which is the famous "Pathithi".
It is the pinnacle of Beethoven's early piano music. Although it is called "Pathreat", it is actually in line with "Symphony of Destiny". It uses the sadness and sorrow brought by life to create a tragic atmosphere to set off a trace of firmness in the melody, expressing the heroic spirit of facing suffering, hardships and destiny, and the will to fight unyieldingly.
Lucien had never practiced this piano piece, so even if he could remember all the notes clearly, he played them intermittently and without any aesthetic sense. However, this intermittent feeling became closer to Lucien's inner anxiety, depression, and forced calmness. Therefore, Lucien played them over and over again until he felt exhausted.
After venting the music, Lucien felt that his emotions and mentality had remained in a relatively intact state, so he left the piano room and went to his own lounge to rest.
At 10:30, the door of the lounge was knocked and Elena's voice came in:
"Lucion, His Royal Highness's carriage is here to pick you up."
Hearing this, Lucien slowly stood up from the backrest chair and replied: "Okay, Elena, I'll go down immediately."
After sorting out his black jacket and a white shirt with wide lace cuffs, Lucien looked at himself with black hair and black eyes in the mirror for thirty seconds before walking out of the lounge calmly and calmly to the first floor lobby.
The carriage sent by Natasha was dark purple, with the emblem of the Violet family. It was low-key on the outside and luxurious on the inside. Lucien sat inside could not feel any bumps or shaking at all. The dark yellow carpet produced from Tria created a warm atmosphere. However, Lucien maintained a straight and upright attitude and did not pick up the blood-red wine and other items placed on the small table in front of him.
More than ten minutes later, the carriage reached the Lata Summer Palace on time. The main entrance was a stone gate carved with countless hero statues. More than a dozen soldiers in red uniforms guarded the place under a bulging muscles and powerful knights.
After simply checking Lucien's belongings, the guard knight waved to let the carriage pass.
As soon as he passed through the gate, Lucien quickly felt the solemn and terrifying magic aura, which seemed to have enveloped the entire Lata Summer Palace.
Lata Summer Palace is a magnificent building with a light golden color. Its appearance is magnificent and meticulous. The east and west face two symmetrical are two majestic and solemn castle-style palaces, and connecting them is an exquisite and gorgeous palace group.
The Lata Summer Palace was a large square with a fountain before, and the square was surrounded by a beautiful garden with a small half market area, with all kinds of strange trees and flowers.
An artificial river that can travel several sailboats winds through the garden with sparkling waves.
Carrying Lucien's carriage passed the Garden Avenue, crossed the long bridge on the artificial river, and stopped before the main palace. The two beautiful maids had been waiting here for a long time.
"Hello, Mr. Evans, please come with us to the piano room of His Royal Highness the Princess." The two beautiful blonde girls who seemed to be twins saluted Lucien in the same crisp voice.
Lucien nodded politely: "Thank you."
Led by these two maids, Lucien passed through magnificent palaces. They were made of top-notch patterned rocks of various colors, emitting dazzling rays. Stairs, railings and other places were wrapped in gold foil. According to the themes of different palaces, there were giant crystals, pure white veils and epic oil paintings distributed on the inner walls and domes. Every detail was full of meticulous cumbersomeness.
The two maids walked skillfully and lightly, and were trained by strict etiquette. None of them talked to Lucien and kept a polite smile. Soon, Lucien walked to a beautiful corridor.
The corridor opens twenty-four arched windows and doors in the direction of the garden, and the other side of the corridor is inlaid with twenty-four mirrors composed of countless small lenses corresponding to the windows and doors. They reflect the scenery of the garden, making people feel like they are wandering directly in the garden, and the magnificent oil paintings on the arched ceiling, and the pure holy light emitted from somewhere forms a dreamy scenery.
This is the most famous building in the Lata Summer Palace, called the "Gallery of Heaven". Before Lucien became famous, he learned from the books in the library and the words of Lott and others.
Passing through the "Gallery of Heaven" with the strongest breath of magic, Lucien entered the "War Gallery" palace where Natasha lives, where there are many oil paintings with war themes on the walls here.
"Mr. Evans, this is the piano room." The two maids took Lucien to a quiet and remote room, and one of them opened the door and walked in first to report to Ms. Camille.
After a while, after obtaining Camille's consent, the maid signaled that Lucien could go in.
…………
This is a large room with a warm and peaceful orange as the main color. The carpet is exquisite and gorgeous, with many musical instruments placed, and in the center is a light golden piano.
Natasha was sitting in front of the piano, playing a war marches. She had skillful fingering skills and showed her passionate and powerful melody to the fullest, and her level was higher than that of most performers. However, she seemed to be deliberately imitating Victor's skills, without the feeling of being happy.
There was a set of sofas in the corner, a brown and yellow coffee table, and Camille, who had a long black skirt, sat there.
Feeling Lucien coming in, Natasha stopped playing, turned around freely, and smiled naturally: "Lucion, I don't understand Victor's new fingering method to play the piano. Can you explain it to me?"
She didn't have any condescending attitude, as if she was greeting an old friend.
"Of course, this is my honor." Lucien walked to the piano, went to another stool, and began to explain to Natasha.
Although Lucien's musical knowledge is still at a relatively low level, what Natasha needs to communicate is exactly the part that Lucien is best at and has made up for. Moreover, this vague and ignorant performance makes it more certain that Natasha and others think about Lucien's composition of music.
Time passed quickly, and Natasha suddenly looked at Lucien and said, "Lucion, do you have any worries? Can I feel your impatience, anxiety and tension?"
The intuition and sensing of the level five knight is very powerful!
Natasha had a straightforward personality, without temptation or tolerance, and asked directly.
