Chapter 33: carry out
The attendants of the two churches came in and looked around, and asked with little doubt in their hearts, "Sir, when did you arrive at this restaurant? Have you left halfway?"
Although the front of the wax museum has become deserted due to the explosion, there are still spiked boats on the canal. Some people saw a young man in a black bowler hat and monocle who fired the ball, but he couldn't see his appearance because of the distance. .
As soon as he mentioned the black top hat and monocle, Oliev immediately remembered the young man, so he asked the attendants to go out and search, but Lucian had a top hat and glasses to cover it, and the scene was very chaotic at the time. In addition to wearing the description, only black hair and black pupil are the characteristics.
Now, with the exception of the black and black pupils, Lucien in front of the two attendants is not satisfied at all, so they only ask routinely.
"9:40." Lucian replied calmly. "The lady and I were here to keep things simple and didn't leave the restaurant halfway." The restaurant was deliberately emphasized to mislead Grace.
Grace went on to answer: "Ye, uh, this gentleman and I have been discussing the art of piano playing here, he has never left the restaurant." In the interest, she completely safeguarded Lucian, and she did Surely Lucian just went to the bathroom and never left the restaurant.
"Your testimony can be trusted." The Knight attendant smiled with a gentlemanly attitude, and then said, "Little Grace, you have always been my favorite pianist."
After a brief search, the two cavalry attendants left with jealousy. The noble master must be pursuing Grace Little Chalk again on the pretext of discussing music.
When she saw the private room door closed, Lucien smiled and said, "Continue to discuss the piano?"
In fact, even if it is just a formal magician, it is not difficult to kill Brown after he consumes the amulet of clean magic, but the biggest problem and the key to assassination is how to avoid being surrounded by night watchmen and knights to kill or Track and capture.
And letting Brown run out of the protective ring "self" is the best choice!
If there is no improved version of the "Charming Human" that is easy to be covered by other magic fluctuations, without the support of the Sturk Magic Council and the majority of the night watchmen, there is no Grace, a quite lady, to testify for herself, Lucian would never try to assassinate Brown. Even if he is well prepared and his psychological quality is stronger after more than a year of encounters, there is no hope, because the magician here is not a fool. They can definitely think of it!
当然 "Of course." Grace replied happily, and Mr. Evans's individual guidance was the key to his rapid fame, and he couldn't think of it now.
Balussian instructed Grace impatiently until he was close to noon and waited for lunch slowly: "Grace, do you think what to do in the future?"
Grace was silent. Before seeking Mr. Evans's forgiveness, she used many excuses in life. Although they are true, such as the parents' bankruptcy defendant went to court, she found vanity and greed when she asked herself quietly. That was the main reason. She opened her mouth and said hardly, "Mr. Evans, you can do whatever you want me to do."
"You did me a favor to get my friends and Mr. Granneuve to resolve the past. I am very grateful for this." Lucian said sincerely, "If you want to start a real musical career then Take your family to Aalto. Only there will you be able to learn the latest genre of music composition, and you will be able to meet talented young people. They will be your best motivation to move forward, and I also You will recognize your student status and write to introduce you to Mr. Christopher. "
"Mr. Evans, you?" Grace was shocked beyond words.
Lucien waved his hand: "At least I did instruct your piano playing, didn't you? And if you just want to pretend to be my student and enjoy a good life in Sturke, then I will take it without denying or acknowledging it. Attitude will neither expose you in the newspaper nor provide you with any proof and introduction. "
"Two paths, choose your own."
Grace looked at the white tablecloth and was deeply silent. If she went to Aalto, it would mean that she would start a hard struggle, because even in the capital of music, even the halo of Mr. Evans is just a decoration. . There are countless talented young musicians there, without their own creative ability and playing ability, the identity of the big musician Lucis Evans is a great pressure, such as Mr. Christopher's son.
If you want to enjoy the benefits of this halo, you can only study hard, practice hard, and hone your creative ability. It can be predicted that this will be a fulfilling but hard life. If you are slightly relaxed, you will be crushed by stress.
Staying in Sturk for a long time will undoubtedly be extravagant, gorgeous, beautiful, and pleasant. When you get older, you can find a rich businessman to marry. The only thing missing is the real development on the music road.
Lucian did not urge, anyway, what choice she made had no effect on herself, and she had no poor feelings for her, but only followed the principle of equivalent exchange. After all, it was very risky for her to pass the note. Opposite is the contact person for the magic council Granneuf.
Of course, if Grace chooses the first path, Lucian will appreciate her a little bit, not everyone can give up the easy enjoyment and start the real effort.
Alas, the knock on the door when the waiter delivered lunch awakened Grace.
She returned to God, turning her eyes, and waiting until the waiter left, she said firmly, "Mr. Evans, I'm going to Aalto. Actually, I am going to stay in Aalto after the music festival."
Lucien laid the meal and cut the steak: "I will write to Mr. Christopher and my teacher, Mr. Victor." "Lucien-Don't worry about Grace waiting until she introduces her to two The musician immediately ran back to Sturck, so that she would not have to speak by herself, and Aalto's various newspapers and reviews would give her the worst evaluation, which would basically cut off the road to music and lose her reputation.
The two chatted about the interesting stories of the Aalto Musicians Association, and suddenly the door knocked again.
"What's the matter?" Grace asked in a relaxed, pleasant tone after making her decision.
"Grace, it's us." The relatively silent viola Green in the band sounded.
Grace asked strangely, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm going to practice in the concert hall in the afternoon. We're here to come with you." Piola also followed.
After he finished speaking, Green's voice became low: "Grace, don't be willful, now that you have embarked on this impersonal path, you can only go on."
是 "Yes, Grace, don't run away, we have no way back." Sharon, Piola and Leicester all echoed.
Hearing them, Grace smiled slightly pale at Lucian, and then whispered, "I have been scared and upset since I met you the night before. I have no mood to practice. I didn't expect them to practice. I thought I wanted to quit, no longer fake. Oh, my friends for so many years did not expect that they would say such things for money and status. "
Baluchien didn't care too much about picking up a steak: "Now that you have made your choice, handle it yourself."
Grace nodded, walked to the door with a little sadness and a little relief, half-opened the door, and said to Green and Piola outside, "You can rest assured that I will play the piano this time and will not be absent, but After that, I will go to Aalto to study music. "
"What did you say?" The dumb Green's expression was a little distorted. "You are well-known for making enough money, you must draw a line with us and escape from Aalto?"
Although their fame is not small, they are far from Grace, which makes them regret that they did not learn a good piano at the beginning, and gave Grace the best opportunity to watch Grace use her and others to create Their reputation is sought after, their status is gained, and they get a lot of money, how can they not be jealous, and how can they be psychologically balanced.
As a result, gradually, a few young people full of ideals changed a lot. In fact, if Grace continues, she will also become a vanity creature she could never imagine in the past.
Piola and Leslie remembered the friendship in the past, and closed their mouths when they were about to say something, while Sharon stared at her toes and said with a little hesitation: "Grace, aren't you afraid we will tell this to Stur Gram daily? "
Grace, who was still a little guilty and ashamed, suddenly laughed and felt completely relieved: "Sharon, it doesn't matter, I don't care, no one will believe you."
"Hey, don't you think you're real after faked for more than a month?" Green sarcastically said.
Grace opened the door completely: "Because I have witnesses, powerful witnesses."
"Mr. Evans ?!" Piola, Sharon and others looked at Lucian inside with a shocked expression and a blank expression.
什么 When did he come to Sturk? When was the relationship with Grace so good?
Balussian put down the knife and fork, walked to them, and said to Grace first: "I will let you have the letter in the afternoon. You can take it to Aalto and give it to Mr. Christopher.
"Thank you, Mr. Evans. No, thank you, dear teacher." Grace said with a little excitement.
Balussian and Piola said, "I hope you will not forget your original dream when you set foot on the music road. The reputation of others will never compare with your own strength."
This sentence is both Lucian's wish to tell them and an admonition to himself. Don't indulge in the professor's "strong" identity and resourcefulness. Forgetting strength is the root.
After waiting for Lucian to disappear, Piola and Leslie suddenly covered their faces and lowered their heads. Sharon was touched and deeply unwilling, while Green was full of annoyance.
The next day, the sun was shining and the weather was hot.
Lucian stood side by side with the thin and gloomy middle-aged man "Ferryman" behind the pointed boat walking through the buildings on both sides, while looking at him slightly strangely, he dare to be bright and upright Show off the appearance walking in the city?
"Hey, my blood power comes from a strange creature that has different abilities in camouflage, so I was sent to Sturk." The Ferryman laughed Lucian as a companion, "Thank you, Mr. Evans, you removed the abominable betrayer for us and deter those restless guys. Your cleverness and calm impressed me. By the way, that horrible explosion is You made it? Is it made from the materials I gave? "
The "Ferryman" did not shake the stone bridge that Brown encountered as Lucian, and thought it was an accident. After all, Lucian seemed to be on a canoe at the same time, and he also thought that he would wait for help to divert most of the vigil. It was only after that that Lucien began to take action.
It was only then that Baluchien realized that the "Ferryman" face was not real, but there was no entanglement: "Oh, nothing, a unique formula of ancient alchemy explosives."
"Exclusive? No wonder." The "Ferryman" didn't ask anyone else's secret, and turned his eyes forward. "Since Mr. Evans has completed your task, I will take you to the home of a scholar. Wait to leave the ship on board Before Turk, you better not go out. "
Lucian wondered: "Scholar?" (To be continued [this text is provided by Uncle Shaker @ 初初 练]. If you like this work, you are welcome to ◤start to ◢◢, recommend, monthly tickets, your support Is my greatest motivation.)
