——The beginning of each plot is always the most difficult to write. This chapter has written me for more than four hours. The addition of 2850 at night is more likely to be late, and the later additions will probably have to be added tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but definitely It will not be changed. "...
Aalto, in a room on the ground floor of the monastery.
It's dark here, except for its own sound, there is no movement.
Natasha, who was sitting in the room in the room, seemed to have adapted to it, and the hot blood on her hands and face had faded a lot.
With dark vision, she looked at a stack of thick letters in her hands, humming the melody silently from time to time, even if there was no sound, it seemed brisk and lively.
Seeing the last page of the envelope, Natasha suddenly laughed and patted with her right hand: "Hum, bless ahead of time? You must be learning me, Lucian, I am waiting for the" Music Review "on July 30."
"It feels good to have a friend, otherwise I'll be so mad."
The breezy breeze on the sea blows away the sweltering October. The waves hit the long **** from time to time, splashing with countless white foam, the sea is wide in the distance, the birds are hovering, the canoe is passing nearby, and the arch bridge seat.
The "Pearl of the Sea" Sturk is partly similar to the Venice that Lucien watched in his last life. It is based on more than a hundred islands gathered on the sea. Numerous canals are as dense as spider webs. There is only one long The sea wall is connected to the mainland.
Sitting on top of Stucker's peculiar canoe, Lucien watched the buildings on both sides of the canal slowly move back, feeling a sense of shopping.
"Oh, dear guest, in fact, every canal in Sturk is equivalent to the streets of other cities." The half-old boatman with a canoe saw that Lucien had been watching constantly, knowing that he was new to Sri Lanka. Turk's traveler therefore enthusiastically introduced: "Where is the Church of San Mayo, where is the Monastery of the Holy Spirit of Sturk, where is the bell tower of truth, where is the spire of prayer," ... "
Kushiro was blowing the sea breeze leisurely, and was very satisfied with the introduction of the boatman: "This should be the temple area of Sturk?"
Although in every city and town, the church has a church regardless of its size. However, there will always be an area with concentrated church architecture, such as the area near the Golden Cathedral on the east side of the Aalto noble district.
"Yes, so it's not crowded here. When you enter the business district, guests will see countless spiked boats and businessmen and travelers from different countries." The boatman answered with a smile, while driving the spiked boat through a Magnificent stone arch bridge.
Suddenly, the surrounding environment became noisy and noisy, and a canoe docked next to a building, or drove directly into the ground floor of a large building with a waterway entrance.
Common accents of different accents echo in the air, "Bronze Fairy" Silver "," Quintal "," Bank "," Loan "," Ten Grams "," Carassius "," Sea Carp ", Words such as "orange fish", "small steel" timber "," slave ", and" delivery "were introduced into Lucian's ears from time to time, and the scenes of bargaining transactions came into view, much more lively than Aalto's market area Times.
The whole city is beating with vigorous vitality, and it seems that even the sea breeze blowing has the taste of money.
"It's more prosperous and more business-like than I imagined." Lucien sincerely admired himself, from the modern city of the earth, seemed to like such a warm scene, and seemed to enjoy the quietness set aside by the hustle and bustle. .
The boatman said with great pride: "We, Sturk, are on the edge of the Storm Strait, communicating between North and South, and there is a deep-water port today, so it is the best transit place for countless goods, and the most ideal free city, and We Sturks are born with business acumen. The first goldsmiths association, the first bank, and the first voucher transaction were born here. "
"Communicate?" Lucian heard something wrong when the boatman introduced him. When referring to East in Sturk, it clearly refers to Holm and other countries across the Strait of Storms. Can you communicate directly?
The boatman who often deals with travellers and merchants and wonders about Lucian's doubts. He said: "Guests, you should have heard of the 'Nightingale' yarn, unique special treasure jewelry of Holm Kingdom, and the gold of Kingdom of Camelot. 'Porcelain, the spices of the Principality of Calais, the top tobacco of the Kingdom of Briana?'
"Of course, they are things that can only be enjoyed by real nobles." Lucian echoed the boatman's statement, although the information inquired from the population of his profession was not even half true or half false, which was better than nothing.
The boatman got Lucian's response, and the nature of the talk was even stronger: "The four countries are across the strait, but because these goods are very profitable, they are monopolized by the church. Only the nine noble merchants authorized by the church can organize The fleet went. Alas, so the wealth of their nine families could buy Sturk. "
"Uh, what are the nine?" Lucian asked curiously. Murphy Granius would be one of these nine, and he could use the trade as a pretext to send the magician to the other side of the Storm Strait.
"Viscount Wright's house, Baron Cap, Baron Moncatch ... the six boatmen are counted one by one, but unfortunately they do not have Granny's name.
Kushiro's interest faded, and she smiled, "Will you continue to introduce me to the buildings on both sides?"
"Okay, that's Wright Bank, that's Moncach-Hawthorne Bank." The boatman pointed at the splendid building on the left. "That's the 'Epic Gallery'. That's the 'Mitchell Sculpture Museum.' That's. ' Brilliant 'Silver VI
Balussian kept looking in the direction of the boatman's finger, and smoothly saw the three-story building that looked like gold foil inlaid. Quite a few boats come and go at its door.
So close to Granius's bank, Lucian didn't ask a word. He quietly looked at the crowd and Lü Zhu near the cave. The word signboard passes in front of buildings.
Lucien is cautious. Since you already know the identity of the Turk City contact, there is no need to take a risk in a hurry. It is best to observe Granneuf and his bank first, and see if other magicians come to your door. Situation to prevent him from being spotted by the church and catching people through his fishing.
Moreover, during these three months of travel, through the meditative thoughts of the formal magician, the soul and mental strength have been significantly strengthened, and the “horror”, “silent phantom”, and “burning hand” have been successively constructed in the soul. "," Mage Armor "," Steel Lungs "," Endure Elemental Damage "," Out of Control Circle "seven magics, are preparing to build the escape magic of" foot oil "so don't worry.
However, Lucien found that even with formal meditation and his own spiritual talent, it is estimated that it will take one year to advance to the second ring, even if he can already analyze the magic of the second ring, as long as he wants to become intermediate, at least ten years! This makes Lucian more yearn for the magic council, especially those efficient thoughts mentioned by Felipe.
The boatman chattered and the cushy sailed out of the business district.
Twenty-five months later, in the famous seafood restaurant "Shark" in Sturk.
Lucian sat under the guidance of the waiter and sat at a table lined with white tablecloths while ordering while watching the fat man with thin brown hair and a thick black cigarette in the close protection and restaurant management of several guards. The person personally greeted him and slowly walked up the stairs to the VIP restaurant on the second floor.
He's walking Granny's goal Granius.
After a long period of secret observation, Lucian basically determined that he was not exposed, and the only question now is how to contact him.
Granneuf always follows the guards and may even have the presence of the Dark Knight. His strength seems to be strong, and his character will definitely guard the church night watchman from posing as a magician to test himself like Lucian. The guy really has a headache. How can he trust that he can no longer use the identity of a professor!
So when I accidentally heard that Granneuve was going to entertain guests on the second floor of the "Shark" restaurant tonight, Lucien moved in and waited in advance to see if he could find an opportunity. Because of the wealthy and underground giants like Granneuve, the best and most convenient way to entertain guests is always in his villa hall. Even if the guests like seafood, they can invite the chef of the "Shark" restaurant back, there is no need at all Come here directly. This made Lucian smell a little weird.
Listening to the creak of the stairs under Granny's heavy body, Lucian saw the waiter at the restaurant coming up with a stack of newspapers: "Dear guests, this is today's" Sturck " The Daily News and the past few issues of the Music Review and other famous newspapers. Next, our pianist will perform the "Moonlight Sonata" and "Cannon in D Major" by the famous musician Lucien Evans. To have wonderful enjoyment. "
Balussian smiled and nodded. It is one of the top restaurants in Turck. The atmosphere and service are very good. These newspapers are not easily available. After he did not use his identity as a musician, he could not afford to buy it in a country farther and farther from Aalto.
Famous soothing and beautiful melody as the pianist plays, the whole restaurant becomes elegant and peaceful.
When Baluchien opened the newspaper, he first read "Music Review" and so on. From the above article, I learned that Victor was on a tour of the Holy Hertz Empire, and Felice finally wrote a barely good piano sketch.
However, since Natasha evaluated the latter part of "Moonlight" in early August, she has not commented any more, which makes Lucian a little worried: "Her blood burning disease should be over, is there any other problems? Wait until Allinge sent a letter back through the appointed secret channel to ask. "
After reading several newspapers that were valuable to him, Lucien saw that dinner had not yet arrived, and the guests banqueted by Granneuve had not yet arrived, so he opened the "Sturk Daily" and watched the content above. Kill time:
"A batch of timber from the Principality of Djibouti urgently needs to be processed interested parties please contact my heart. This newspaper is similar to the news except for some anecdotes.
Looking at it, Lucien suddenly saw a report: "Mr. Grace, a student of the famous musician Lucien Evans, will hold a concert with her friends at the Crystal Turk in Turk".
"My students?" Lucien looked at it inexplicably. It was probably that the "musicians" knew themselves at the Alto Music Festival, received their own guidance, and created a lot of fantasies. Works, and Grace among them also got his own private piano professor and became his own student.
With such a reputation, after returning to Turck, they quickly became musicians sought after by nobles and businessmen, and became hot.
Lucian, who has a good memory, recalled that these names corresponded to specific characters. It was a little funny for a while: "I did communicate with them about fantasy Ran's creations, but they are too good at it ?!" Funny and funny, Lucian never thought about revealing his identity to expose them. But at this time, the waiter brought in a girl in a black evening dress and a full figure. She had a good looks and a touch of maturity.
"Gerry didn't ... it's really a coincidence." Lucian covered his face with a newspaper, and then saw Grace walking towards the VIP restaurant on the second floor. "It was a coincidence ... she was invited by Grannew. Guests? "([To be continued [this text is provided by the breaking dawn update group @ 红尘 乱 绍].
