"What is the gift of adventure?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It seems that there is always something that favors those powerful individuals. Many strong people will receive gifts for various reasons after they show their prowess. Not only magicians, but also many powerful warriors have received magical opportunities. Many times, these opportunities come so suddenly..." Tasya seemed unable to find the right words for a moment.
"Inexplicable?" Xiao Chen said.
"That's right, just like the first monarch of the Iberian Kingdom, Allen I, who was chased by the enemy and fell off a cliff. When he returned half a year later, he had mastered a strong fighting spirit. He was also visited by an alien in the military camp and was given a set of military books. He also found a set of artifact armor in a cave when he was taking shelter in the mountains. This set of armor saved his life in his biggest defeat and gave him a chance to make a comeback. All of this is like a script that has been arranged, but ordinary actors know that they are acting, but the rest of us don't."
Xiao Chen felt a little amused and touched his nose. He said, "If that's the case, I think the screenwriter's skills are not that good. These plots are a bit outdated."
"Isn't it said that life is sometimes more dramatic than drama?" Li Jia said.
"How many people can distinguish between life and drama? When we read a story in a book, how do we know that it is not a real world, and how do we know that we are not living in a book?" Tasya said this and sighed softly.
"Then do you have any explanation for the gift of adventure?"
"Some people think it is a reward from the god of nature, some people think it is a legacy of the ancient gods, but in the final analysis, no one really understands why such a thing suddenly happened to us," she said.
"You mentioned 'we' again and again. Do you think that the gift of adventure also happens to us?" Xiao Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.
Tashia suddenly came over and said in a very soft voice in front of Xiao Chen: "Isn't it? The heir of the Dream Tower. Sir Xiao Chen. Without the adventure, how could you have inherited the Dream Tower?"
When Xiao Chen heard this, his body stiffened, while Tasya, who had already returned to her original position, had a slight smile on her cold face.
Li Jia stood up suddenly from his chair. Xiao Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax. If Miss Tasia wanted to harm us, she would not reveal this."
Tasia said nothing, but tilted her head slightly to indicate, and then walked out of the reading room first. Xiao Chen and Li Jia looked at each other and followed her out without making a sound.
Tashia walked down the stairs leisurely and came to the door of a reception room on the second floor. She pushed the door open, turned around and said to Xiao Chen: "This is the room I rented, you can talk without worry."
Xiao Chen looked around. This was a secret room without even a window. The floor was covered with carpets and surrounded by a circle of luxurious silk sofas. The lighting runes on the roof and walls illuminated the room clearly. In order not to lose momentum, he walked to the sofa and sat down. He also asked Li Jia to sit next to him, then crossed his legs and asked, "Ms. Tashia, has our relationship with the Dream Tower been spread among the high-level magician circles? Well, after all, several great magicians have already known this secret. As the heir of an ancient magic family, it shouldn't be difficult for Ms. Tashia to obtain such information."
The female magician, who looked to be in her early twenties, walked over to sit opposite Xiao Chen and shook her head, saying, "That's not the case. I don't think those people you mentioned spread your identity. It's just that you released a meditation space on the road to refinement that day, and I saw it."
"Good eyesight. Most mages probably don't know what that is." Xiao Chen said.
"Although I'm very knowledgeable about the Seven Holy Towers, I'm not sure that it's the meditation space. But..." Tasia smiled and glanced at Li Jia, "Master Li Jia's excitement helped me confirm this attempt."
Li Jia's face turned red and he lowered his head.
Xiao Chen patted Li Jia's shoulder to show that he was fine. He asked, "So what advice do you have for me?"
"Just because I'm the heir of the Dream Tower, I wouldn't risk meeting you. But I heard that you and Mr. Li Jia have helped many magicians decipher difficult magic words these days. Today, I saw you reading the difficult book "Garfield's Travels", so I wanted to meet you." Tashia put the black book on the table and slowly pushed it in front of Xiao Chen. "I want you to help me look at this text."
It was a leather folder. Xiao Chen opened it and found a piece of paper inside. On it was a piece of Chinese written in a clumsy handwriting:
"Magic power is the power of the origin. It pervades this world and can be controlled by thoughts, achieving all kinds of things. Runes guide magic power. It seems like a shortcut, but it is actually a side path, and even a shackle on cultivation. Pursuing the art of controlling the origin directly may seem like a long way to go, but it actually leads directly to the essence, which is almost the way to the great way."
Xiao Chen scanned the text and his mind exploded. Could it be that magic power could be directly mobilized by mental power? Using the rune structure composed of magic words to cast spells was not the way? For a moment, he had some inspiration, but there was too little information for him to grasp the idea at that moment.
But on the surface, he frowned and said, "Miss Tasia thinks that the writing style of this article is very different from the usual way of speaking, and there are several uncommon words whose pronunciation and meaning are unknown."
Tasia nodded and showed a happy expression: "Can you understand? If you can help me translate these words, I am willing to offer a high reward."
Xiao Chen read the entire text aloud.
"Wait a minute, paper pants, paper care, no, shackles. So that's how it's pronounced. And this 'ji' is pronounced as ji, not ji." Tashia changed her previous indifferent expression, and a blush appeared on her pale face. "You really know much more magic words than us. Can you explain the meaning of this text to me? You can ask for the reward, gold coins, magic crystals, or magic scrolls, we can discuss it."
Xiao Chen blinked at Li Jia, who shook his head slightly. She was indeed still a little girl, just like him, unable to keep her cool.
"Ms. Tasia, I can't translate the content at the moment." Xiao Chen said regretfully.
"Why, are you worried that the reward is not enough?"
"Of course not. You know that any text needs to be judged in context. I can see that the content of this text must be related to something in cultivation. If I can't read the text in its entirety, I dare not make a random translation." Xiao Chen said seriously, "You must know that on the road of magic cultivation, a little deviation and misunderstanding can cost lives."
When Tasia heard this, she was obviously a little confused. She took the clip that Xiao Chen handed back to her and sat there hesitating.
Li Jia then said, "Miss Tasia, judging from your appearance, you must have spent a lot of effort to decipher this book, but in the end you couldn't find the answer anywhere else. It seems that we still have to rely on our knowledge to translate this book. However, even if you copy down the text and shuffle it for us, we can still understand most of the content based on the logic. In this case, what difference does it make whether you take out the book or not? Hiding it only increases the risk of misreading it."
"This..." Seeing that Xiao Chen and Li Jia looked at each other with sincerity, Tashia finally nodded and said, "Okay. I'll bring the book here tomorrow."
