Also, praise the little girl Barra, the map has been completed, it is very good, and I am also very grateful, wait for the upload.

………………………………………………………………………

Franz expressed his true feelings, as if caught in his own memories: "Because I stayed up late at the same time of hard work to study music and put all my energy into writing songs, my body and spirit gradually became unbearable, my health began to deteriorate, and I suffered from frequent illnesses. I can't concentrate at ordinary times, and my neighbors and workers say that I am muddled, as if I haven't woken up from a dream, like a corpse without a soul."

"They persuaded me to give up music, thinking that if this continues, my body and spirit will completely collapse within five years. Although they all admit that my music and my songs are not bad, they all agree that I cannot rely on them to support myself , support my mother, my younger brothers and sisters."

"The hardships of life, the pressure of the environment, the physical and mental limits, and the invisible burden of the family made it difficult for me to breathe, and I began to think of giving up music, because I am not alone, and I have to shoulder many responsibilities. "

The slightly choked-up description made many successful musicians here, as well as hard-working musicians and music students feel the same way, thinking of the difficulties and obstacles on the music road that they have experienced or are experiencing in the past, the ubiquitous pressure, the The exhaustion from the heart is difficult for people who have not experienced similar experiences to resonate.

Of course, they all admitted that compared to the difficulties encountered by Franz, everything they faced was much easier, so the musicians and music students secretly made up their minds to persevere and work hard, and strive to one day be able to live like Franz. It is a kind of emotion and an honor to recall the past on the stage of the concert with a successful gesture!

In their minds, Franz has already been considered a success, because his piano skills are excellent, and his song forms are innovative. He also got a very high rating from Mr. Evans!

Being so praised by a top musician means that he has made a name in the music industry and is about to become a real musician, just like Mr. Evans who was praised by Mr. Christopher at the beginning.

Lucien was also quite moved by Franz's experience. If he hadn't improved his mental power in danger, made his memory stronger, and his energy more energetic, then even with a soul library, he might not be able to stay up all night studying and analyzing magic. It is also difficult to learn the basics of music well. In this way, even if there are great music such as "Symphony of Destiny", they dare not come up with their own short stories.

Seeing Mr. Evans, Mr. Christopher, and Mr. Victor all nodded slightly, Franz's vision seemed to be a little blurred, and he continued to say with emotion: "When I decided to give up music, I felt relaxed and lost at first, so I am going to go to the civilian concert hall to listen to a cheap concert as a memorial to the road of farewell to music."

"But I underestimated my love for music. When sonatas, concertos and symphonies poured out in the hands of the orchestra, I couldn't restrain my sadness and despair. If there is no music, what is the meaning of my life? In the pain that made me almost die, I chose to get up and walk towards the door with difficulty, not wanting to listen to the melody that has nothing to do with me, and not wanting to hesitate any more.”

"When I walked through the aisle in the beautiful melody and stood by the gate, the symphony just ended, and the applause covered the music, which seemed to indicate the end of my music path. A huge loss hit my heart, so I turned and prayed silently, recited poetry, and said a final farewell to the music."

Franz gradually became excited and waved his hands: "The light seems to have completely disappeared, and the darkness completely enveloped my life, but when I dragged my disappointed and gloomy soul and body back and opened the door, there was a dang dang, a short, powerful and exciting shock. The note suddenly appeared! It seemed to be beating my heart, making me feel both fear and an indescribable trembling."

"The next melody hit me like a storm, making me breathless, as if the hardships of life, physical and mental problems, and invisible family burdens broke out completely, trying to destroy me, but in the storm, I heard When it comes to shouting, I hear the firmness of never giving up, and the melodies are like spears declaring the courage to fight."

"I seem to hear the torture contained in your music, Mr. Evans. Am I defeated by life, or did I choose to surrender? Did life make me give up, or did I give up music? When facing difficulties, I found various reasons. Let yourself be weak, or go bloody like a knight to death, never flinching, never giving up?"

"No, I will never give in to difficulties! By the end of the glorious victory chapter, I have found the answer, shouting like a madman near the door of the concert hall, and my heart is full of strength. After that day, I quit my other jobs and started I have always looked down on the bard, because it is the only one that allows me to learn music while keeping my family alive. No matter how many discriminations, blows and tribulations I encountered later, I never thought of giving up. Play a piece of "Fate" and a piece of "Pathetic" for myself every now and then."

Franz withdrew his hands that strengthened his tone, and his voice slowed down: "As the songs I sang as a bard have been loved by people, my income has gradually become richer, and many nobles have also hired me to join their private bands. The family had a good life."

"After my younger brother and younger sister became apprentices and had my own life path and skills to survive, I left most of my savings to my family, and I really pursued my dream of music without any burden."

With his right hand on his chest, he bowed with great respect: "And all this is because of you, Mr. Evans. Without your life philosophy and shouting torture contained in the music, I could not find the strength to support myself to go on. You are my life It is my greatest pride and honor to have you attend my first real concert."

"Thank you again, Mr. Evans."

The musicians, musicians, and students present applauded from the bottom of their hearts, enthusiastically like the tide, not only for Franz's persistence, but also for the power of music.

Lucien said with emotion: "The main thing is your own tenacity."

Next, Christopher and Victor also commented on Franz's songs, and they all gave good comments.

The joy and excitement of being truly affirmed made Franz's next symphony completely reveal his own style. The fields in spring are as natural as they are.

While quietly enjoying the Franz symphony, three ladies came in from the door of the concert hall, one was bright and beautiful, with thick lips and hot hair, the other was sweet and pretty with brown hair and blue eyes, and the other was mature and full of black hair.

When Phyllis, Elena, and Grace heard that Lucien was back, they rushed to the association at the same time.

After seeing Lucien sitting in the first row, the three ladies breathed a sigh of relief, and it really was him.

Lucien had a keen intuition, turned around and smiled at them, and put his index finger on his lips, signaling them to listen to the music quietly first.

Compared to before, Phyllis, a noble girl, has matured a lot. Obviously, traveling with Victor and her experience of holding concerts made her get rid of immaturity quickly; Elena's appearance has changed a lot, her long hair is up, and her sweet She exuded a mature charm, with a little tiredness on her face; Grace didn't have the repressed and proud contradictory wandering of Stulk, and her every move was very relaxed.

But three years, especially the three years at the age of twenty, is enough for ordinary human beings to forget many people and many things. Although Lucien's name often appears in the music industry and in newspapers, but They still felt a slight strangeness and alienation.

Lucien felt the same way.

…………

After Franz's small concert, Lucien made an appointment with him to discuss the conversion of poems into songs the next day, and then returned to the familiar No. 12 Sneva Street in Jisu District with Victor, Phyllis and the others— Victor is going to hold a private luncheon to welcome Lucien back.

When Victor went to tell the housekeeper, Mr. Ace, Phyllis and Elena, who were silent all the way, finally said, "Welcome back, Lucien."

After seeing each other for a long time, they suddenly didn't know what to talk about and what attitude to use to get along with Lucien.

"Mr. Evans, thank you for your letter." Grace took the opportunity to express her gratitude.

Seeing this, Lucien smiled and shook his head, talking about his travel knowledge and interesting things he encountered, to resolve the invisible barrier and depressive atmosphere.

Gradually, Phyllis and Alina started talking and laughing, and restored some of their previous attitudes.

At this moment, the servant opened the door, and a strong and wide woman ran in wearing a tightly stretched skirt and hugged Lucien: "Little Evans, you are finally back! I am worried that you will encounter robbers and wild wolves on the road..."

While talking, Alisa took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she found out from the servant Victor sent to report that Lucien had returned, she hurriedly dragged Joel and Ivan, who was just on vacation, to rush over.

"Alysa, let go of little Evans, he is a quasi-knight, he is afraid of robbers and wild wolves." Joel shook his head helplessly at Lucien, and then smiled: "Welcome home , Little Evans."

The life of aristocrats did not slow down Joel's aging, and the backlog of problems in the past began to stand out. The short blond hair became thinner and grayer, and wrinkles gradually increased.

"I've always missed you all." Lucien said emotionally.

Joel gave a low laugh, and turned back to pull Aiwen over: "You still haven't said hello to your brother Lucien?"

Aiwen is the one who has changed the most among the acquaintances Lucien met. He has grown a lot and is a little taller than Lucien. His childish face has become a youthful face, with obvious cyan on the top of his lips and chin Beard, he inherited his father's handsome appearance, he is four or five points similar to John, but he looks stronger and stronger.

Looking at Lucien, he looked restrained and shy, as if facing a stranger, with his head bowed and said: "Welcome back, Brother Lucien."

For a child like him, three years is almost one-third of his life—the first five or six years have very little memory, and shyness and strangeness are inevitable.

…………

After some meeting, Lucien got up to go to the bathroom because Aunt Alisa tried hard to introduce her marriage partner and nagging about children, but Grace quietly followed her.

"Teacher, I have something to tell you." Grace's voice was extremely low.

Lucien looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

"After I came to Alto, a man dressed as a clown once asked me about you secretly." Grace said the key point directly.
