Leaving Aunt Alisa's house, Lucien didn't go to the market area immediately, but went home to get the stick, and continued to exercise and practice basic swordsmanship in the open space. , A certain amount of hand-to-hand combat and dodge ability is still very important.

Moreover, the better the physical exercise, the easier it will be to stimulate the blood power when there is an opportunity to concoct and refine the "Weeping Soul" magic potion in the future.

After an hour of exercising, Lucien went home and wiped his sweat before heading to the market area.

Having not been to the market area for five whole days, Lucien feels that it is still very lively here. Various accents, various appearances, and different types of humanoid creatures are mixed together, full of vigorous and noisy life pulse.

Worried about the possible retaliation of Aaron's gang, Lucien was very careful when he walked around, and with the faint sense of mental power, he ensured that he would not be easily followed, and even gangsters would be spotted if they approached within five meters of him.

But in fact, when Lucien bought the spell-casting materials and left the market area, Aaron's gang didn't come to make any trouble. On the contrary, Lucien noticed that when Aaron's gang came and went to collect fees, they had a lot less manpower. They used to Usually two or three people act in a group, but now they are all doing things alone, which makes Lucien a little puzzled: "Could it be that what happened last time made Aaron's gang decide to keep a low profile?"

Even Lucien himself didn't believe this guess, but no matter what, the abnormal behavior of Aaron's gang made Lucien decide to be cautious and learn most of the apprentice-level informal magic as soon as possible. The power is not too strong, but it is weird and ingenious, as long as it is used properly, Lucien thought, even if he meets ten gangsters, as long as they don't have long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, he can deal with them calmly .

In the market area, Lucien walked for three hours before buying three spellcasting materials. This was because of the experience of being discovered by Aaron's gang last time, Lucien was more cautious, even though some materials were very common. , but I don’t need it for my current life, so I won’t buy it for the time being, and there are many materials in it that can be collected in the wild, such as cypress vine fruit, red patterned rock powder, etc., so Lucien decided to find a time to go to Collect outside the city.

The three spell-casting materials that Lucien bought were insect repellent and mosquito repellent, sulfur that was frequently used in the "Fire Moon", and night star grass that calmed the mind and helped sleep—after becoming a musician's student , it is too normal to buy this kind of plant, as well as ice stones with fresh-keeping and refreshing effects.

Lucien bought each of these three casting materials enough to cast a hundred spells. The most expensive one was night star grass, followed by ice calcite, and sulfur was the cheapest. It cost Lucien a silver 20 gnar in total. A copper fil is close to half of Lucien's net worth.

This had to make Lucien sigh: "Magic is so expensive!"

Since "Acid Splash" and "Frost Ray" are not as low-key as "Ring of Out of Control", they will leave traces that are difficult to deal with, and during the day, there are people coming and going in Aderjan District, and the environment is complicated, so Lucien I dare not perform it in my own hut, and prepare to find a sewer entrance at night, just like a witch, and practice in the depths of the sewer.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lucien arrived at Victor's house on time to continue the study that was delayed yesterday.

"Lucien, do you have a job now?" After the one-hour study was over and Renee, Colin, Annie and others left, Victor suddenly asked in a soft tone.

At this moment, only four students, Lot, Phyllis, Herodotus and Lucien, remained in the hall.

Lucien shook his head: "Mr. Victor, I lost my previous job and haven't found a new one yet."

After experiencing how quickly learning magic costs money, Lucien has decided to go to the Copper Crown Tavern to ask before evening, if not, go to the administrative area to have a look tomorrow, and now, Victor asked about it without warning , making Lucien faintly expect a little more.

"Based on your family's conditions, even if I waive your tuition fees, I'm afraid that studying from 2:00 to 6:00 every afternoon will still have an impact on your life." Victor considered his tone. He had asked Colin and Lei Ni, I know that poor people like Lucien have to work at least ten hours a day if they want to survive. Although I don’t know where Lucien got his tuition fees before, but judging by his clothes, life is definitely not that big. Improvement, "I just know that there is a relatively easy job. You only need to work four hours a day in the morning, and you can get an income of ten silvers a month. Lucien, are you willing to go?"

It turned out that he really found an easy job for himself. Victor not only made himself his real student and waived tuition fees, but also cared about his own life. Facing this kind of heart, Lucien once again felt After I arrived, although I met villains and scum such as Jackson, I also met good people such as Uncle Joel, Aunt Alisa, John, and Mr. Victor: "I am willing, Mr. Victor."

"Did you agree to the job without even listening to it?" Victor said humorously, "The association's music library was originally managed by one person each morning and afternoon, but I think there is only one person, and mistakes are prone to occur. Therefore, it is suggested that the association add two more, but unexpectedly the association agreed. Well, when you manage the library, you can try to read the books on music introduction, so that when I teach you, you can understand it faster. After a week of introductory learning, you can try to learn an instrument."

In Victor's mind, because he didn't know Lucien's talent, he planned to let him learn musical instruments as soon as possible and become a musician as soon as possible. When he became a musician, he would have a stable source of money. not late.

Lucien was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that he and the library were so predestined, he traveled through the library, carried the library in his soul, and appeared to be the administrator of the library, but soon, Lucien was full of gratitude and said: : "Thank you, Mr. Victor."

At first glance, this job was added by the Musicians Association for Victor's sake. Working four hours a day, you can earn ten silvers a month. It is really a very good thing. You know, the original way Sean, who was exhausted from being busy from morning to night, only had three silver nars at most a month, and now he has jumped directly from the poor at the bottom to ordinary income civilians, which fully reflects the importance of relationships .

Victor clapped his hands: "It just so happens that I am going to take Lot, Phyllis, and Herodotus to the Association Auditorium in the afternoon to practice with the orchestra. Lucien, follow me to the auditorium to sign a contract document. You can do it tomorrow morning." Let's get to work."

When Mr. Victor went to tidy up his messy papers that recorded many inspirational melodies, Lott smiled and said to Lucien: "Get to know me, I'm Lott, Lott Griffith, Mr. Victor is very nice." The teacher is also a very kind person, I hope you will not disappoint his expectations."

Originally, Lucien was suddenly accepted as a student by Victor. Lott felt a kind of anger and dissatisfaction. As a member of the Griffith family, he actually wanted to study music with a poor man who knew nothing and had no experience. An educated guy who also wants to embark on the path of an elegant and sacred musician, which is really a shame to the dignity of the nobility.

However, from Mr. Victor's words, Lot heard that he wanted Lucien to become a musician, so this anger and dissatisfaction was let go, and it became a kind of aristocratic pride, and he looked down at Lu Xien with a condescending attitude. Sean exudes kindness.

"Mr. Victor should be very happy to see that his students can get along more harmoniously." Lott, who hoped to become Victor's true disciple, thought so in his heart.

Lucien was not interested in what Lott thought. He had already chosen the path of magic, and he would not have many encounters with them in the future, so he politely replied: "I will, thank you for reminding, Lott. , my name is Lucien Evans."

"I'm Phyllis? Hein." The red-haired girl Phyllis nodded to Lucien reservedly and coldly. She didn't think Lucien could achieve much in music, after all, he started too late. So for Lucien's becoming Victor's music student, he only regarded it as a kind repayment from Mr. Victor, and didn't care.

Moreover, Lotte can do too many goodwill things, but Phyllis can't. If the rumor of becoming friends with a poor man spreads, it will deal a big blow to her reputation and even affect her choice of marriage. .

Herodotus, the young man who had always looked down upon Lucien, also imitated Phyllis and greeted him politely and coldly.

Hall of the Musicians Association.

Stepping on the thick and soft carpet, Lucien followed Victor to the reception desk, while Lot, Phyllis and Herodotus were sent by Victor to the concert hall on the fifth floor for practice.

Elena, a beautiful girl with brown hair and blue eyes, bowed sweetly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Victor."

"Good afternoon, Elena, this is Lucien, my student who studies music with me. Starting tomorrow, he will manage the library in the morning. You can sign the contract for him, and then give it to Mr. Hank." Victor introduced Looking at Lucien.

Elena nodded, took out a piece of paper that had been prepared long ago with only simple words on it, and handed it to Lucien: "Hello, Mr. Lucien, Lucien?! Is that you?!"

She thought Lucien looked familiar just now, and now she recalled the name, her emerald eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that more than a week ago, she went to the musicians association to carry garbage on the road of the bottom poor. Sean, now a music student of the musician Mr. Victor, "The world must be crazy!"

"Hello, Elena, it's great to meet you." Lucien took the contract, because he was not proficient in writing, and he needed to spell and look it up in a dictionary. After reading a few simple lines for several minutes, this made Elena Gradually calmed down, and looked at Lucien curiously and enthusiastically, "You can check if there is no problem, just sign or press your fingerprint on the back, and then hand it over to me. I never thought that when I see you again, you will change so much."

Victor on the side smiled and asked, "Eileen, do you know Lucien?"

"You were there at the time, Mr. Victor..." Elena hurriedly told the story, and Lucien felt that there was nothing wrong with it after reading the contract. He picked up a quill and signed his name in an unskilled manner.

After Victor finished listening, he looked at Lucien: "No wonder I always thought you looked familiar. Well, you have the will and actions to strive for success. The Lord will definitely bless you to succeed."

"Well, what success? Victor, have you prepared all the music?" Suddenly, a voice with a hint of sharp feeling sounded.

Lucien looked back, and it was the brown-haired musician Wolfe he had seen last time, with his chin bent forward.
