Throne of Magical Arcana

Christopher quietly watched Lucien stand up to pay tribute amidst the applause like a tsunami, and he smiled after a long time: "When Victor and Rhine rebuilt the piano, I thought it was a brand new instrument. The volume is loud, the sound quality is full, and the contrast between strong and weak is very clear, but I have never tried to compose music for this new instrument. It was fully shown on the Internet that the piano piece adapted by Lucien just now creatively incorporates a lot of violin skills, which is very difficult and does not seem like it can be completed by humans."

"But for knights, it only takes a period of practice." Verdi was surprised that the piano could be played in this way, not how difficult Lucien's skills were, so he returned to normal after a brief surprise.

Natasha glanced at Will with a half-smile: "The change in fingering skills is indeed nothing to us, but other ordinary musicians may need to adapt for a long time, because Lucien not only showed fingering skills It is dazzling, and it is the widening of the range and the contrast between strength and weakness when composing a piano sonata, which makes the music played by a piano also have a symphonic color, and it feels like a band. "Pathetic" grows more curious and confident."

Her words were relatively simple, letting the nobles around who didn't know much about music understand that the update of musical instruments would definitely bring about changes in music, and Lucien was at the forefront of everyone.

"I restrained my curiosity and didn't look at Lucien's "Pathetique" score, but I heard Victor mentioned that Lucien did make great changes to the genre, structure, and techniques of the piano sonata. Hehe, it seems that I am really old, and I concentrated on the composition of "Dawn War" instead of studying the piano." Christopher laughed at himself humorously.

Grand Duke Violet followed with a smile and said, "Maybe I'm old too. When I heard Lucien's majestic performance just now, I wasn't as excited as a young man. On the contrary, I felt that it was too intense and I couldn't adapt. Of course, this cannot be denied. The piano piece adapted by Lucien is excellent in terms of melody and technique, but I hope that this piece of "Pathetique" composed by himself can bring us different feelings."

When her father said that, Natasha wrinkled her nose and didn't refute. She secretly thought: "The previous performance was too charming and imposing. I want to learn Lucien's fingering skills as soon as possible!"

But Phyllis, John and the others saw that Lucien went on stage three times in a row without any silence, and the music he had chosen had received an extremely warm welcome, so they quietly relaxed a bit. Next, as long as the last piano sonata is well received, then Lucien's concert will be successfully concluded.

…………

In the municipal square, the black-haired and slender Pieru stared blankly at the stage in the crystal wall, heard the applause around him that seemed to be able to knock the roof off, and whispered to himself sadly: "It shouldn't be like this, no It should be like this, his fingering and playing technique are all wrong!"

But when he thought that he was also immersed in the passionate and crazy piano melody and wild and romantic fingering performance just now, Pierre couldn't accept it and hated himself, as if only by scolding himself could he confirm that his father's playing art was correct and immortal .

"Yes, yes, his previous piano pieces were all skill-based, without the theme and connotation he advocated. It must be that even he himself can't accept his own fingering! It must be like this!"

Pieru, who was in a trance, didn't notice Lucien's reappearance, and sat in front of the piano again, his eyes slightly closed, brewing emotions.

The audience in Piola, Lilith and other squares suddenly fell silent, waiting for the last piece of music in Mr. Evans' concert.

"Can it replace the symphony so that the music will end in climax and perfection?"

…………

Lucien sat in front of the piano and meditated quietly, knowing that with the strength of a quasi-knight, there was no problem with his playing skills in "Pathetique", but the reason why the first movement of "Pathetique" was the most difficult of the three movements One, because it contains strong feelings and thoughts. Once there is no emotional integration, what is played is just a series of mechanical pale notes, which can be judged by listening to good or bad.

Scenes of sad and depressing events flowed through Lucien's heart:

The voices and smiles of the parents, the regret and grief of never being able to see each other again;

The fear, trembling, helplessness and resentment of being forced into the sewer by the pastor of the church;

Anger suffocated under the siege of gangsters;

The pain, self-blame and resentment when I learned that Joel's family was kidnapped by the cult;

The grief and anger at seeing the three severed fingers;

...

Everything gathered into a heavy sadness and weighed on Lucien's heart, but Lucien found that the most depressing thing for him was being in Altor, the city of chant!

When meditating, I worry that the night watchman will pass by outside the house and find unusual fluctuations in the spiritual power inside;

When doing experiments in the magic laboratory, I worry that the movement will be too loud to be noticed;

Always be careful not to leave too obvious marks when practicing magic;

Cover up your true identity when meeting with magical circles, for fear of being bullied or spies from the church;

When working as a "professor" and rescuing hostages, every step is dangerous and thrilling. Every step is like walking on the edge of a cliff. If you don't pay attention, you will become a blood sacrifice or a victim on the stake. You are very nervous and depressed. and restlessness;

It wasn't until this time that Lucien realized that his heart was full of negative and repressed emotions, so he channeled them out and was preparing to explode.

Depressing the pedal to the bottom, Lucien's arm heavily "slammed" down the set of sounds that came from his heart!

when! The strings inside the piano seemed to be trembling! Surprise!

Then the low and gloomy melody was played slowly, bringing out an extremely strong tragic taste!

This is Lucien's depression and sadness from the bottom of his heart, and his begging to get rid of the shackles and live in peace!

Just at the beginning, Grand Duke Violet felt the strong tragic atmosphere, it was like the dark and gloomy thick dark clouds before the summer rainstorm, like a heavy stone pressing in his heart, like an unspeakable sad memory.

This kind of feeling is not limited to the Grand Duke alone. No matter nobles or commoners, as long as they have rich life experiences, they all have similar feelings. They are all infected by the emotions that Lucien resonates through music.

Natasha seemed to have returned to the winter of that year. Alto's sky was rarely seen full of black lead clouds, which made people feel extremely depressed, as if they could predict that something bad was about to happen.

Christopher thought of his wife who had been with him for nearly fifty years but left him first, and his son who was destroyed under the pressure of his famous reputation. He would rather do business outside with hard work and danger, facing those vicious Kobolds and jackals were unwilling to step into the piano room.

"There have been too many sorrows in life, but the only thing I can clearly remember is your smile, Winnie." Victor closed his eyes, quietly listening to the slow tragedy introduction unfold.

When such a melody sounded in Phyllis' ears, she naturally thought of the pain and sadness she felt at the birthday party when Earl Hein was ill and unable to come.

John next to her clenched his fists tightly, determined to get rid of the evil in the darkness in grief!

Piola, Sharon and others in the municipal square thought of their unsatisfactory music career, and thought of the long and torturous journey to Alto.

Lilith and Sara may be the ones who can best understand Lucien's emotions contained in the melody, the ubiquitous danger, and the irresolvable depression.

There are always many ups and downs in life, and everyone has their own pathos!

A series of fast notes pouring down ended the introduction, and the music turned into an allegro. The exhilarating and dark melody is like a huge wave hitting a rock, giving people an exciting feeling.

From time to time, the melody becomes light and bright again, presenting the beautiful expectations of life.

But the repeated appearance of the tragic theme in the introduction makes people unable to resolve the sorrow and pain in their hearts even after hearing such a passionate and clear melody. The feeling of wanting to let the struggle explode.

Even the light melody is very gloomy under such heavy depression.

The depression was getting heavier and heavier. Seeing Lucien's fast and rhythmic high-difficulty playing with both hands, Grand Duke Violet felt that he was about to suffocate, just like hearing the pain of his eldest son when he died in the northern fortress. It's like seeing the despair of the wife who gave up her future for the love between the two when she came to the end of her life.

"I will never see my brother again, and I will protect the Violet family from now on." Natasha murmured to herself the pain and firmness when she heard the fall of the northern fortress in that gloomy and gloomy winter, and she clung to the hospital bed tightly. The oath I made when I took my mother's right hand, "Mom, I must become a real knight!"

Earl Verdi's face was cloudy and uncertain, obviously he also had his own pain and depression.

Marcus, who was sitting in the seat below, looked at Lucien's flying fingers for a long time, then slowly lowered his head and let out a long sigh.

Sylvia looked sad and painful, and her eyes seemed to be looking at the box above.

On the municipal square, Pieru could no longer suppress his emotions in this kind of music, and suddenly burst into tears, full of deep resentment and depressive sadness. Eun's piano playing skills are replaced: "I'm sorry, Father, I'm sorry, I'm such a failure!"

Lilith and Sara also experienced Lucien's firm persistence and never giving up hidden in the music in the empathetic depression.

The first movement gradually came to an end, and the melody became more and more powerful. The heroes rushed forward to the darkness and evil with a little tragic but not sad breath.

When Lucien thought of going to a place where he could learn magic with peace of mind after today, and the reward of never giving up in the face of difficulties, Lucien became more determined, the melody became more powerful, the light was in front of him, and victory was in front of him!

Then several high-pitched, passionate and resolute notes sounded, making people feel that the tragic and gloomy atmosphere was completely dispelled, and the depression in their hearts was vented.

Everyone exhaled slowly, as if their bodies were baptized by the music inside and out, releasing all kinds of negative emotions.

Then the second movement began, and the song-like melody was like the warm sunshine shining on the hearts of every audience, clear and shining. The coordination of multiple voices is warm and graceful, soothing everyone's soul.

After everyone recovered from the grief, the music entered the last movement, and the melody slanted like raindrops sounded. Christopher and other musicians and civilians once again saw Lucien's hands playing on the piano at an unimaginable speed. , let the notes burst out one after another, rendering vigorous vitality and high-spirited emotions, full of bright atmosphere.

It was the kind of hand movements that dazzled and stunned people, and the brilliant and majestic playing skills. Everyone's emotions were aroused again, dancing with the music, and going crazy with the melody!

After a series of waterdrop-like notes, Lucien pressed hard, and a signature accent burst out forcefully, ending the whole piece of music.

The expressiveness and appeal reached the extreme at this moment. The repressed emotions in the Grand Duke and the others were completely vented. They all stood up from their seats, and the applause was thunderous to Lucien who was paying tribute on the stage.

And in the municipal square, apart from the applause, there were actually crazy cheers!
