Vol 7 Chapter 74: Bloodline Spell
The beautiful melody echoed in the restaurant. The quiet notes made people involuntarily settle down, but there was no small chamber band around. Only a magic gramophone placed on the table against the wall slowly turned the gum. Black disk.
A few minutes later, the music gradually subsided, and the black disk was finished, and the servant next to him quickly changed one.
Hearing the sound of music again, John put down the knife and fork in his hand and said to Lucian with a little sigh: "Ordinary gum black discs can only record music for a few minutes, and it is difficult to present a complete symphony, unless a higher level of pure A magic black plate, but this is something that ordinary people cannot afford. "
He did not forget his past life, so he paid much attention to ordinary people.
"The problem is that ordinary people can't even use magic gramophones." Lucian joked while cutting the foie gras, "Of course, the price of pure magic black plates is not cheap, equivalent to a second-level alchemy item. Now, the little nobles can only buy one occasionally, and most of the time they have to use a black resin plate, but the Viscount Wellesley's house should not have this problem. "
Due to the simplification of combining magic, Lucien himself did not have a mature solution. He could only redesign and arrange the magic array according to the concept. It could not be done overnight, and he must come step by step.
After Joel became a director of the Lentart Musicians Association, the whole person became jīng trembling, as if even aging had been delayed: "But the number of small nobles is far more than that of large nobles, plus the use of most restaurants, Gum black discs have become the mainstream without a doubt at present, and they are an important source of income for most musicians, so I find that they are increasingly inclined to create simple music for a few minutes, which is easy and rich. "
Lentat musicians are not as many as Aalto. There are not many opportunities for concerts. In the past, their income was mainly from serving the nobles, serving as their music consultant or chief musician, and after the invention of the magic gramophone, they added one more. The important channel is the "music fee", which extracts a certain amount of money according to the sales of gum black disks and magic black disks filled with their own music.
Because there is a precedent for the "patent fee" of magic conversion and use, plus that "Atomic Control" is also a great musician himself, the magicians are not exclusive of "music use fees", except for dividing music according to 369 etc. In addition to the stipulation of different share ratios, the "Intellectual Property Act" passed by the House of Nobles and signed and promulgated by the Queen is normally implemented.
Although the magic gramophone is only enjoyed by the nobles at present, but the price is high and the musicians have gained a lot. Therefore, under the stimulation of money, under the influence of the "light music" cháo stream, most musicians are increasingly accepting In the form of a few short pieces of music, this simple and uncomplicated "leisure music" has also been welcomed by the general public, making Rantat's music development trend more and more different from Aalto.
In Lucian's words, Rantat sooner or later became the birthplace of pop music and pop songs.
Hearing Uncle Joel's concerns, Lucian smiled, "Sometimes, changes in musical instruments, changes in the form of music transmission, and changes in the form of music carrying will all affect the direction of music development, such as music in the lyre era, violin. The music after the invention, the music after the invention of the piano, only in this process of continuous change, can the music last forever, not gradually dry up, so Uncle Joel, do n’t worry about the small capacity of the gum black disc for music development There is a short trend, which allows us to see more different music than the current imagination. "
At present, the most prestigious big musicians articulate such a point of view, Joel himself is a bard and a street artist, and has a natural preference for short music, so he no doubt worry about turning the topic into food itself: " I do n’t think you have the talent for food in Evans. This sweet and sour meat is so delicious! "
"Well." Alissa nodded her mouth with no time to open her mouth, and she had been focusing on them after tasting these foods.
On the table, except for a few Tria-style dishes, such as foie gras, most of the food was never seen and never enjoyed. It is very different from the current food style of any country. She couldn't stop eating when she ate.
"Thank you, Natasha also loves these foods very much." Lucian accepted the politely. Although there are many Chinese dishes, not every one can be liked by people from other worlds. Those on the table are in Nata. The part selected by Jīng on the basis of "Little Mouse", of course, will make Joel, Alisa and John feel like they are swallowing their tongues.
And Lucien is good at magic and good at identifying animals and plants. There are many strange things that are not on the earth. Therefore, the "hunting range" of Chinese cuisine has expanded again. The number of varieties has at least tripled. Flesh, what braised thorn tree, everything.
When Lucian mentioned Natasha, Joel said strangely, "Why didn't Her Majesty come tonight?"
Normally, as long as Lucien was in Arlinge, he would visit the Joel family at least twice a month, and Natasha followed most of the time.
Lucien could still answer in the future, and John rushed to say: "Recently Lentart is undergoing urban remodeling to expand the scope and re-arrange the defensive magical and magical array. The House is often bickering, so Her Majesty is busy and must be centered and deterred. "
"Rentat's change is so fast that the changes I have experienced in my more than 20 years in Aalto haven't changed much in the past few months. I don't know what Lentat will look like in the future." Joel was a little bit authentic.
After dinner, Lucian and John stood with a glass of wine to the floor-to-ceiling window in the small living room on the second floor.
Looking at the bright lights of the aristocratic district like Xinghe outside, John suddenly sighed: "From the moment you were implicated by the witch, I felt that I was dreaming. To this day, the dream has not yet awakened. All the expectations for the future are realistic It ’s not as imagined, but it deviates greatly. "
"Me too." Lucian looked out of the window, his eyes darkened, though his tone was plain, but it really came from his heart, and dreams were not impossible.
Although in the exploration and research of the world, Lucien has basically ruled out the possibility of dreams, but other similar 'truths' still lack evidence to decide xìng to deny, even if he already has a preliminary conjecture on the world It is also impossible to conclude completely that "brain in the tank", "virtual world", and "experimental place" are wrong.
Naturally, John couldn't hear Lucien's words, and sipped a glass of wine. "My original dream was to become a true knight, so that my father, mother, Ivan, and you all could lead a rich and noble life. But who knows You accomplished this before me and became a musician ... "
"After I became a knight, I was ready to sacrifice in the northern fortress or the dark mountain fortress. This is the home of the knight, but you tell me that you are a magician, and I am in a long confusion ..."
"When I thought we would never see each other again and began to work with peace for the Principality and the Church, Her Majesty brought me to Rentat ..."
Talking, he laughed: "When I'm used to being guarded by many strong people, I don't need to face too strong dangers, and I can spend the rest of my life safely. The worship of devil and demon often happens in the kingdom. The incident polluted by the abyss and the abyss makes me have to run around and face the battle again and again. "
He didn't complain, but showed a little excitement, and he was completely stable and lived without a wave of waves that made him stop and couldn't become a knight in the sky.
"Life is always full of surprises, and it will not go as you expected." Lucian and John touched the wine glass. "Also, it is very difficult for you to" eliminate "the blood to be promoted to the Knights of Heaven. There is not enough information in the kingdom for you Learn."
The bloodline aristocrats have the best way to refine their bloodlines and reconcile with the will under the pedigree of a generation or an epic knight, so they are also knights, and the nobles with heritage are better than the new aristocracy Easier to promote, so they agreed that the Magic Council announced the training methods of the knights before, in order to cultivate more talents against the church, and to develop more and more alien space-this blood-training method is their real capital and Secrets must be kept strictly.
The "elimination" of blood is scarce in itself, and it is basically absorbed into the ranks of the holy knight or night watchman of the church. Therefore, no one of the nobles of Holm Kingdom is this blood, and naturally there is no corresponding method of tempering. John.
Originally, Lucien did not take this issue to heart, because the bloodline power was created by ancient magicians, and a variety of detailed bloodline information was stored in the council. It can be designed for John by studying the situation of "eliminating" the bloodline. A reasonable method of tempering. However, the data collected by the parliament did not contain any information about the "elimination" of the bloodline, which made Lucian doubt the source of this bloodline, and believed that it was the result of Viken's research.
John smiled indifferently: "All the methods of tempering are explored by the former knights. I am no stupid, nor are they lazy and afraid of death. Ca n’t I explore it by myself? And Lucian, you said Do n’t be bound by past experience Maybe this is a good thing for me. "
He joked humorously.
…………
After leaving Joel's house, Lucian put his hands in the long dress pockets, pressed the black hat to a low level, and walked leisurely in the city of Rentat, watching a city change according to his own ideas is full of A sense of accomplishment.
Passing through the civilian area where alchemists gathered, Lucian suddenly saw a dwarf approaching himself, saluting with his right hand covering his eyes: "Steam is supreme."
Then he smiled, "This gentleman, I don't know if you would like to join our steam church."
Brightness directly pulls people into the membership? This is completely contrary to his command to the dwarves! Lucian's gaze was slightly fixed, and Shen said, "Who are you?"
"Hehe." The dwarf laughed. "Although we haven't met each other, we have met directly."
He spoke strangely, but Lucian narrowed his eyes, "Viking?"
