Chapter 62: Trouble Solved

Translator: Editor:

Lucien did not panic . Instead, a series of thoughts came to his mind:

“Did the church find out it was me?

“…No, it can’t be . If the church had found this out, they wouldn’t have waited until now . I was involved in the witch’s trouble before… I must be on their list of suspects, but not on the top . ”

Lucien paused a bit and answered, “I stood up late to complete the last part of my music work, then I felt very sick in the morning, so I asked for a leave . Now I’m feeling much better . That’s it . ”

“Did you see a doctor? What was wrong with you? Can anyone prove it?” Corella questioned closely .

“No one . I was not sick… I was just really tired,” Lucien answered calmly .

“I can prove for him, sir . ” Victor took a step forward, “Every time when I finished composing, I felt the same tiredness . ”

“You are…?” Corella glanced at him .

“Mr . Victor is Lucien’s music teacher, a musician . ” Elena introduced, feeling very surprised that Lucien could somehow compose a piece of music so quickly .

Corella took out his quill and quickly wrote something down on his notebook, “I’m sorry, Mr . Victor . You’re Lucien’s teacher, so your testimony cannot be fully trusted . I wonder if there is anyone else who can prove for him, or I have to take him back to the church to do a physical examination, just in case . ”

Lucien’s face did not show any different, but his mind was being busy with finding possible excuses . For a few seconds, he did not say anything .

“I can also prove for this young man . I’m the director of the association, Baron, Othello . ” Hearing the noise, Othello came out of his office, “Lucien just finished his first music work . It was great . He must have devoted all his soul and strength to it . ”

Although Othello disliked this young man’s music style, he still admitted Lucien’s talent and effort . Besides, the upcoming concert, and also the association, needed Lucien .

Corella nodded, and wrote a line of words on the notebook again .

“With your words, Mr . Baron, I believe it’s time for me to leave now . ”

Actually, Corella himself did not believe that Lucien would be the the one under the wanted-notice either . According to the information from the inquisition, they were looking for a sorcerer at least of the third circle . There was no way that an ordinary young man who was a nobody three months before could turn into an evil and powerful sorcerer so quickly .

The cardinals of the inquisition did not put Lucien’s name on the list in the first round either .

Now there was a Baron speaking for Lucien . Pissing off a noble was the last thing he wanted to do before he became a real knight .

Watching Corella leaving, Lucien breathed a sigh of relief .

“Don’t let this bother you two . I’m gonna be very demanding . ” Othello nodded to them and went back in his office .

“Oh my god, Lucien, Mr . Othello said you composed your own musical work? Holy…” Elena looked Lucien up and down as if he suddenly became a stranger .

Lucien just nodded with a smile .

“What is going on here? Why are you here, Victor?” It was Wolf, who was walking downstairs .

“Nothing . ” Victor shook his head, “I just talked to Mr . Othello about a change in one of the pieces of symphony on the list . ”

Victor knew that Wolf would know this sooner or later anyway, so he did not really care .

Wolf’s face suddenly darkened, “You got a new piece of work? It’s impossible . You were that desperate several hours before…Wait, how could Mr . Othello allow you to change the list? Did he allow you to?”

With a series of questions, Wolf couldn’t wait to figure out what was going on there .

“Since we met Mr . Othello’s expectation . ” Victor shrugged his shoulder pleasantly .

“What requirement? Within several hours, you suddenly can meet Mr . Othello’s requirement? It’s ridiculous…!”

“Well…” Victor blinked, “If the fact pisses you off, that’s too bad . By the way, it was not my work, but my student’s work . You said a pauper cannot become a musician . Lucien proved that you’re wrong . ”

Pointing at Lucien, who was standing aside, Wolf laughed as if he heard a rather funny joke, “Are you kidding me, Victor? This poor guy just started to learn music three months ago, and now you’re saying that he composed a piece of music work that is qualified to be played in the Psalm Hall? If it’s true, I’ll fulfill my promise… I will never compose again but only do music criticism . But if it’s not, you really have to apologize to me for lying . ”

“If I were you, I wouldn’t say this too soon, Wolf . ” Victor looked very serious, “You can laugh . But you will see on the concert . And then you will see Lucien’s work in the library . ”

Wolf stopped laughing . He took a glance at Lucien and cursed, “You guys are just lunatic . I’ll wait and see how you’re going to shame yourself . We’ll see if you can make my words come true . ” Before he left, Wolf glared at Lucien and added fiercely .

Watching Wolf leaving, Victor commented, “Arrogance brings prejudice, and prejudice makes a person an idiot . Lucien, take a rest today and let’s get started tomorrow . I’ll talk to Mr . Hank and tell him I have to borrow you from him for a while . ” Victor smiled .

Still feeling tired, Lucien nodded and said his farewell to Mr . Victor .

After grabbing his umbrella, Lucien walked toward the gate together with Elena .

“Why are you looking at me like that, Elena?” Lucien was feeling a bit bothered with Elena’s continuous gaze .

“Honestly, I feel like you’re not the Lucien I knew before… I always knew that you’re talented, but I still can’t believe you can compose such a great music work on your own which is appreciated by both Mr . Victor and Mr . Othello . ”

Lucien slightly waved his hands, “I guess I just got inspired somehow . Maybe my inspiration came from my past experiences . ”

Elena had no idea of how long it often took a musician to compose a piece of music . She slightly tilted her head and smiled, “Maybe you’re really a genius . I always trusted you, Lucien . Don’t forget me as a friend when you become a really great musician . ”

“Of course I won’t . ” Lucien also smiled to her and then left the association .

Watching Lucien leave, Elena stood there for a long time and murmured to herself, “Why he’s so talented…?”

…………

Seeing Lucien’s nice suit, Joel joked with Lucien a bit over dinner for suddenly turning into a gentleman . Then, Lucien went back to his place and fell asleep directly . He did not wake up until nine in the night .

When Lucien woke up, he felt much better . Although he really wanted to start making Revenant Dust right now, Lucien knew he should not act too hastily, or it would be too risky .

Taking another tube of Storm, Lucien felt more energized . Tonight he decided to refine his spiritual power using the power of the star . Hopefully he could become a real magic apprentice tonight .

After becoming a junior apprentice, Lucien would be able to cast one more apprentice spell . The recovery speed of Lucien’s spiritual power would be increased by a bit, and the ability to withstand Mind Magic would also be improved .
