Lucien's original plan was to use the piano version of the Symphony of Destiny to inspire Victor, and even asked him to directly complete the melody and perfect the details before adapting it into a symphony, so that the surprise he caused was limited to Victor, Lotter, and Rhine. Waiting for a few people, will not be known by the vast majority of people, let yourself become a freak in their eyes, so as to attract the attention of others, after all, you can write such a piece of music in less than two months after learning music, in Lucien It is unique in the "Continental Music History" that I have read.
But at this time, Lucien had no way to shirk, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, Mr. Victor."
As Victor said before, a genius does not need a reason, and in this matter, others would at most suspect that he was plagiarizing, and would not even think about his identity as a magician, or connect himself with devils, demons, etc., because this Seems like two completely opposite things.
In a large number of religious books in the music library, music is described as the precious wealth bestowed by the God of truth to mankind, and as a weapon to motivate people to move forward in difficult times, and only heard of magicians, devils, etc. "giving" people great power , beautiful singing voice, and skilled playing skills, there has never been a thing that directly gives people the musical talent to compose music, especially this music also has an exciting positive energy of fighting against difficulties and fighting against darkness.
And from reading travel notes, religious classics, etc. during this period of time, as well as getting along with Lott, Felice, and Herodotus, Lucien vaguely realized that there was a gap between the church and the nobles, although Lott and the others still Pious, full of reverence for the God of truth, but in casual words, there are often meanings such as "religious matters belong to God, and noble matters belong to the king".
Therefore, Lucien judged that without evidence, it was impossible for the church to perform a divine check upon seeing a person of high status, especially since the Musicians Association was closely related to the nobles and the church.
The only thing to worry about is that when you are invited to perform or attend a banquet in the future, if important people come, in order to prevent assassins, you will inevitably be checked.
However, if you are already a musician with a high status, status, and reputation before this, then the inspections you encounter will definitely become superficial and lax, and it will be easy to deal with. Of course, if the important person's own strength Very powerful, and that check would be very simple, if not none.
Rhine picked up the quill and a stack of white paper from the desk, walked to the piano and handed them to Lucien.
Putting the white paper on the music stand, Lucien picked up the quill and was about to start writing when he sneezed several times. His weak body felt a chill, and he couldn't help shivering. The rain on his hair followed the sneeze. His movements were splashed onto the white paper, and a little water halo spread out.
Only then did Victor notice Lucien's condition, his body was drenched: "Lucien, you didn't have an umbrella?" Phyllis blushed slightly, because Lucien's linen jacket was tightly attached to his body On the TV, he showed off his lean but toned figure that he has exercised in recent months.
"I did, but it was raining heavily outside, so I ran here again." Lucien didn't say that he came here directly in the rain.
Victor looked relieved and moved: "Lucien, I have several sets of clothes in the lounge. You are about the same height and shape as me. Go and change. It looks like you are going to be sick."
"Go, Lucien, give me the writing of the music, and I'll try to see if I can restore it completely." Rhine also urged Lucien, and took the quill from him.
During this movement, Lucien had brief contact with Rhine's fingers, and it was a little strange to find that Rhine's body temperature was a little colder than that of a drenched guy like himself. It seemed that his physique was a bit special

In another room in the lounge, Lucien dried his hair and body, and changed into Victor's white shirt, black dress jacket, black skinny pants, and leather shoes, immediately feeling dry and refreshed.
Then Lucien tidied his clothes in the mirror, and unexpectedly found that he was wearing a formal suit for the first time. Although he was of average height, he had black hair and black pupils. It's a quiet and steady handsome.
Lucien opened the door of the room and walked out. Rhine, who was restoring and recording the music, was immersed in the music without any reaction, while Victor turned around, looked at Lucien from head to toe, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, What a handsome lad."
Seeing Lucien like this, the little doubt that remained in the hearts of Phyllis, Lot, and Herodotus completely disappeared.
Judging people by appearance is not the prerogative of the people of the earth.
"Lucien, come and see if the music written by Mr. Rhine is correct." Victor beckoned to Lucien.
When Lucien passed by Lott, Lott smiled in a very aristocratic, standard, and polite way, and whispered, "Lucien, I hope to discuss music with you often in the future."
"No problem." Lucien replied equally politely.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Phyllis bit her plump lips with her white teeth, and said in the same low voice with a slight blush: "Lucien, I apologize to you for my prejudice before, and I hope to be with you in the future." Get along well and discuss music well."
Although Lucien's unwillingness to give up today's performance and touching music deeply touched Phyllis's heart, it was not to the extent that she liked it. The blush on her face was more of a shyness and emotion. The emotion of indecision.
Only Herodotus stood on the other side with complicated emotions, his head was lowered, he looked at his toes, and did not speak.
After accepting Phyllis' apology, Lucien walked to the piano and discussed the music with Rhine and Victor.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Phyllis saw Baron Othello's carriage drive into the association from the window through the much smaller rain curtain.
Victor signaled Lucien to tidy up the stack of music scores, and said happily: "Actually, the part of the melody you failed to compose has almost been revealed in your emotional performance just now, that's why I can do it like this." Quickly add most of it. It seems that music really needs emotional resonance, and piety and gratitude are one of them, so music with religious themes is always more touching than music that simply expresses the beauty of music."
"Okay, although there is still part of this music that has not been perfected, it is just a matter of some details. It can be registered with the association first. As for the director of Othello, I don't think he can resist such a great piece of music. Trust me, Princess Your Highness won't mind changing the repertoire either."
What Lucien just played just now was to burst out the emotions he had suppressed in his heart all the time under the emotion of anger and unwillingness. The struggle against difficulties, and the idea of not wanting to give up and not giving up are all integrated into the piano playing. If the part of the deliberately imperfect melody has not been practiced, I am afraid that Lucien will play it out in one breath , Even so, many melodies are naturally produced by hand, they are not refined and perfect, but they are enough for Victor to complete the inspiration.
Led by Victor, Lucien followed him to a room on the third floor, where an old man with glasses and all white hair sat. He glanced at Victor and Lucien with light gray eyes, plain and authentic. : "Victor, have you finished your symphony?"
"Joseph, it's not me. It's my student Lucien. He wrote an excellent work. I'll bring him to register." After Victor replied, he introduced to Lucien: "This is Mr. Joseph , is a senior music critic who has listened to most of the music, including elf music, etc., and is also a trainee priest. He will initially identify whether your music is plagiarized, and then use the power of the Lord to leave time on it Imprint, similar melodies that appear after this time will be considered plagiarized from your work."
Seeing that Lucien was unfamiliar, Joseph said doubtfully, "How long have you been studying music with you? You are very talented to be able to write works so quickly." Then he took the score, pushed his glasses, and looked at it seriously .
"Well, three months." Victor wiped off the cold sweat that didn't exist, and counted the time when Lucien started learning characters, and rounded up.
Joseph let out an "ah" and raised his head from the music score: "Three months?" Then he quickly buried his head in the music score in disbelief, with a funny and angry attitude, Victor, are you here to tease me
Victor didn't answer, but just waited with a smile on his face, waiting for him to finish reading.
The smile on Joseph's face slowly disappeared, and he gradually became more serious. Then he beat the beat and silently hummed the melody.
His expression quickly became wonderful, as if he was immersed in the world of music, and he couldn't help clenching, releasing, waving, and twitching his hands, just like a conductor with a fierce style.
Humming by himself was much faster than the formal performance. After more than ten minutes, Joseph heaved a long sigh of relief. With relief and inspiration, he said to Victor: "It's really a great work. It reminds me of the past in the dark. The mountain assists the Knights to fight against dark creatures and evil creatures. At that time of extreme danger, if we hadn’t thought of the Lord’s teachings and given up ourselves in desperation, Victor, you would not know me. This is a face-to-face Great music that never compromises and never gives up on evil."
"Wait, you said it was written by your students?" Joseph remembered the conversation just now, stood up abruptly, his glasses slipped from the bridge of his nose, and fell on the table, making a loud broken voice: "He only studied for three months music?!"
His expression was contorted with shock.
"As you can see." Victor recounted Lucien's life experience according to his own understanding, and Joseph finally accepted it reluctantly. He raised his eyes and waved: "Well, geniuses always appear to crush us Common sense, confidence, uh, and glasses, at least I don’t think it’s plagiarism, except that the melody of the music is not the same as it, it is in line with the firm persistence and fighting spirit you have shown, Lucien.”
"However, in order for others not to question you, Lucien, you need to come up with a piece of music that is not inferior to this work every one to two years, and you must also show your talent in line with your genius." With his own experience, Joseph, who loves this piece of music very much, feels that there is no better music than it.
"I won't be here in a year or two. It seems that I don't need to copy much..." Lucien watched Joseph perform magic to copy the score and mark the time.
After Joseph finished it, he asked casually: "Is there a title for the music? Now it's popular to choose a name for your own music."
"Call it fate."
※※※
After completing the registration, leaving Joseph who was still looking at the score admiringly, Victor took Lucien to the outside of Othello's director's office.
"Perhaps after a while, Director Othello's expression won't be much better than Joseph's."
As he knocked on the door, Victor suddenly laughed, with a lightness and humor that he hadn't had in the past few months.
