Putting the ball of paper on the table, Lucien took out the letter paper from the box and unfolded it. As expected, several lines of black words appeared on it: "It seems that you have received our gift, Mr. Evans, those three fingers are Warn you not to act foolishly, everything you do is under our control and observation, our power exceeds your imagination, and is more legendary than the stories you heard from the bard in the tavern. All right , crush the 'ball of vision', and you will see what you want to see."

When Lucien got the dark black ball, he already felt the magnetism contained in it, and judged that it was for recording the scene, so he crushed it without hesitation.

Black smoke filled the air, concentrated in front of Lucien, and gradually presented a dynamic black and white three-dimensional picture.

The people inside were Joel, Alisa, and Ivan. They were in a narrow wooden house, sitting around the only brown wooden table.

Ivan closed his eyes half-closed, nodded frequently, and looked full of sleepiness, while Joel and Alisa had sad faces, their wounds were tied with white cloth strips, and through the small window of the wooden house, they could see the The dense darkness of the sky, and the faintly twinkling stars in the mid-air, while the silver moon was completely obscured by the darkness, making it completely invisible.

This dynamic scene lasted for a total of one minute.

The original lines of words on the letter paper disappeared, and a new text appeared: "Mr. Evans, you have seen that they are still alive. In the future, whenever there is a different weather and scene at night, we will record a scene for you. You can tell that each scene belongs to a different date by the rain, the wind, the lightning, and how incomplete the silver moon is, how many stars there are. You see, our reputation has always been good."

"This reassures me a lot. By the way, if John comes back during this time, how can I tell him?"

Lucien nodded and answered. The small part of the starry sky that he saw through the small window of the wooden house just now calmly appeared in his mind, and then he compared it with the large number of astrological charts drawn in different seasons and places in the witch's magic notes. In order to judge which stars, and record the brightness and darkness of the stars with their magnitudes, they also recorded and calculated the angles viewed from the wooden window, the initial positions of the stars in the sky, and their brightness in the one-minute scene. Position changes across the sky, etc.

Astrology magic is the most studied magic of Lucien!

With regard to the knowledge of astrology, with the experience of listening to the apprentices' exchange last time, Lucien has almost completely mastered the knowledge of the apprentices, not to mention his own astronomical knowledge that is higher than ancient magic.

"I am very satisfied that you can take the initiative to ask how to deal with it. It seems that you have gradually accepted your fate, Mr. Evans. If John comes back, you can tell him directly, and believe that he will not take the lives of his father, mother, and younger brother. Come take risks. Also, Mr. Evans, please be careful when you go to Ratasha Palace tomorrow."

Lucien goes to Ratasha Palace every Tuesday and Thursday at eleven o'clock in the morning to discuss music with Princess Natasha. If the princess needs it, she can summon Lucien at any time. Of course, the remuneration will be calculated separately.

Words appeared and disappeared one by one, and the letter paper finally remained unchanged. Lucien folded it, rewrapped the three broken fingers, and put them back in the box.

Lucien, whose mind was full of astrology charts, was walking slowly on the way to the Musicians Association.

"It was proposed yesterday, and today I received the sight and fingers, and I can make a basic judgment that Uncle Joel's family is in a village, small town, or forest near Alto, or even a hidden place in Alto city. "

With this judgment, many astrological charts in the witch's notes can be discarded. Lucien quickly determined which astrological charts were drawn by comparing a large number of astrological charts drawn in Alto, and the preliminary calculated trajectory and speed. The identity of the star, and then by looking up the star catalog, finding various data of one of the known stars, and then calculating according to its relative position last night, combined with the angle of observation, etc., the preliminary result is obtained: "The wooden house The location is west of Alto, about 20 kilometers away, that is, here in the depths of the Black Forest of Messer." On a simple map of the vicinity of Alto seen from the music library materials, Lucien marked the location of the wooden house with little error, "This range is within two hundred meters."

"I hope that when I see the scene in the future, I will still be in that wooden house, so that I can correct the data through the silver moon and other natural scenes." The star catalog on the earth is useless here, and Lucien uses the ancient astrology system There must be some errors in the star catalogs and astrological charts used by magicians. To be completely accurate, other methods must be used to correct them.

However, within a range of 200 meters, it is relatively easy to find the cabin, so Lucien's mood became a little excited and uplifted. The only problem is that he is not strong enough. Just monitoring his enemies is much better than him. , and since the "Silver Horn" dared to act several times in a row in Alto, which is controlled by the church, their strength is definitely not weak, even if the powerful figures of the cult have other important things to do, and they are not responsible for guarding small people like Joel's family, But Lucien reckons that there are at least enemies with a formal sacrificial level.

"Every step is really difficult." Lucien suppressed his impatience and sighed softly in his heart.

Although after discovering the problem, in a calm situation, Lucien's every step was the best he could do. enemies, these are not enough!

When we arrived at the association, there were two other girls who Lucien was not familiar with standing in the hall today. One of them stood up and bowed slightly: "Good morning, Mr. Evans. Mr. Hank explained, if you are here, please go to Come to his office, he has already arranged your exclusive lounge."

Lucien originally wanted to find a quiet piano room, but it would be better to have his own lounge, so he went straight up to the third floor to find Hank, and under his guidance, he found the exclusive piano room on the third floor. lounge.

"Evans, this place will belong to you from now on, unless you die or join a music association in another country." Hank opened the door of the lounge and pointed to the gorgeously decorated room.

The Concert Association building is very large, the atrium even includes a garden, and besides the offices on the third floor, there are 70 to 80 such lounges, and nearly half of the second floor is lounges, plus Aalto musicians in the mainland Countries are very popular, and many people accepted the invitation to leave after being famous, so almost half of the lounge was empty.

Thick dark yellow carpet, red wooden desk, wardrobe, coffee table, a set of sofas wrapped in beautiful dark blue cloth coats, exquisite statues, decorations and oil lamps, a small half-open room with a bed, a A milky white piano, this is the lounge that only musicians can have, and the Aalto Music Association has treated Lucien as a musician.

Lucien smiled politely: "Thank you, Mr. Hank, I am very satisfied."

"This is what I should do, Evans, you can just call me Hank." Hank turned and left with a smile.

Entering the lounge, Lucien closed the door tightly, deliberately releasing the previously suppressed emotions, the grief and resentment after seeing the three severed fingers.

After walking anxiously in the lounge for a few times, Lucien suddenly sat down in front of the milky white piano, pressed his hands heavily, and played the Symphony of Destiny, the only piece he could play proficiently so far.

The passionate melody began to reverberate, and Lucien took advantage of the loud voice to suppress other voices, and began to curse in a low voice: "These bastards actually kidnapped Uncle Joel's family and asked me to approach Her Royal Highness."

Under the cover of the music, such words kept spitting out from Lucien's mouth. It was not Lucien's purpose to vent, but to test the other party's ability to monitor.

After playing, Lucien stood up and took a long breath. Even if the other party really heard it, it could be explained that he was venting his emotions so as not to cause problems in front of the princess tomorrow.

Back at home in Aderjan District at noon, Lucien was relieved to find that the letter only said one sentence: "It's a good choice to use music to vent properly, Mr. Evans."

The other party may want to use this reminder to show that he can monitor everything about Lucien, so that Lucien is afraid and afraid to have other thoughts.

But for Lucien, another important situation was discovered!

※※※

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lucien arrived at Victor's house on time.

Although the butler Ace didn't say anything, he looked at Lucien with gratitude. Accompanying Victor for most of his life, he is very happy that Victor can successfully hold a concert.

Renee, Colin, and David, the three civilian students who continued to study, stood up and greeted Lucien when they saw Lucien coming in: "Good afternoon, Mr. Evans."

Although the story of Lucien has not spread from the musicians to the common people, the three of them have already known about Lucien through the conversation between Phyllis and Annie. Shocked and unbelievable emotions, when they faced Lucien whose status had changed greatly, they subconsciously treated Lucien the same way they treated Victor, "It's only been a month since we saw each other, and the world has become like this Are you unfamiliar?"

Lot smiled and stood up and hugged Lucien: "Until now, I still can't believe that all this is true."

And Phyllis also came over, and whispered in Lucien's ear: "Things are going well, by this time tomorrow, I should be able to give you the Moonlight Rose."

"Thank you, Phyllis." Lucien whispered his thanks sincerely.

Such a scene made Lott murmur in his heart: "When did they become so close? Could it be that women are naturally better than men when it comes to contacting men?"
