The next day, still in the same small room, Xiao Chen and Li Jia waited for Miss Tasia.
Tashia was wearing a navy blue robe today, which was obviously more advanced than the black one before, and there were many and detailed arrays faintly emerging on it. Xiao Chen noticed that she, who originally did not wear jewelry, had a black headband on her head, a pair of gray earrings on her ears, and a neckband inlaid with black gemstones on her neck. She also had a dark purple bracelet on her hand.
Out of courtesy, Xiao Chen could not use his mental power to carefully examine the other party, but he could still feel the faint magical fluctuations from the headband, earrings and neckband. All of these reminded him of Prince Javier's jewels.
But the bracelet looked plain and simple, but Xiao Chen believed that it was a more important treasure because Miss Tasia always checked her wrist involuntarily.
Noticing Xiao Chen's gaze, Tasia said, "I have to be careful today. You will soon find out that all this is necessary."
Xiao Chen glanced at Li Jia and smiled, "It seems that Miss Tasia has an important secret to share with us today. I thought that we are the heirs of the Dream Tower, which is already the biggest secret in this room."
"My secret is no less secret than this one." Tasia sat on the sofa, stroking her bracelet, seeming a little hesitant.
Xiao Chen and Li Jia were not in a hurry, they just waited quietly for her to make a decision.
Finally, Tasia raised her head, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Actually, apart from you, there is no one else I can trust more than you. After all, we are fish in the same pond."
She tapped the bracelet with her hand, and it flew into the air and turned into a dark purple book. The book was not big, slightly smaller than an A4 paper. Tasia took the book, handed it to Xiao Chen, and said in a deep voice: "This is my secret, and now it has become our common secret."
Xiao Chen took a closer look and his heart skipped a beat.
On the cover were written four Chinese characters: "The True Source of Magic Power"
Li Jia exclaimed behind him: "This is! This is the Tower of Origin..."
"Yes, this is the holy book of the Tower of Origin, the 'True Source of Magic Power' that explores the source of magic." Tashia sighed and said, "Do you remember the gift of adventure I mentioned? The process of this book appearing in front of me can also be described as inexplicable."
Tashia recalled: "In the era of the Black Dragon Empire, our family was a noble family in the city of Balva. Five hundred years ago, an ancestor went to the Sky Rift Tower to learn magic and eventually became a saint. He then began to teach magic within the family.
I had good aptitude. I became a formal magician at the age of sixteen and broke through to the intermediate level at the age of twenty. However, something that happened when I was twenty years old changed everything.
I have a hound in my hometown, and I was playing with it in the yard that day. One time, it didn't catch the Frisbee I threw, but brought me this bracelet that could turn into a book from the roots of an old tree. Then I knew that I was chosen to be the heir of the Tower of Origin. "
Li Jia agreed: "It really seems like there is a mysterious person behind all this."
"Does your family know about this?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know. My father is a very cautious man. If he knew that I got this holy book, his first reaction might be to destroy it. But being able to become the successor of the Seven Holy Towers is a very lucky thing for me. I can't give up this opportunity." Tashia's cold little face showed a hint of excitement at this time. "Besides, if there is really a powerful and mysterious person hiding behind the scenes, will he allow my father to ruin his plan? So, even for his safety, I can't let this happen."
"You've been very thoughtful. However, if it were me, I wouldn't like the feeling of someone manipulating me from behind," said Li Jia.
Tasia shook her head slightly and looked towards the ceiling, as if she was looking at a distant being. She said softly, "It doesn't matter anymore. All of us are more or less representatives of someone or some interests. The same is true for powerful saints. The Saint of Time represents the Royal Magic Tower, the Thousand-Ren Sword Saint represents the royal family, and the Golden Branch Priest represents the Temple of Nature. As insignificant as I am, what else can I complain about?"
Xiao Chen secretly praised the girl. She looked very young, but her thoughts were clear and logical. He agreed, "You are right. In my opinion, we are born to row a boat in a turbulent river. Instead of complaining about the dangerous and fast river, we should practice rowing skills."
"That's right." Tasya obviously agreed with Xiao Chen's words, "So I started to study this holy book, thinking that the stronger the strength, the greater the power to control destiny, but I soon found that I couldn't understand the articles in this holy book at all. Therefore, I asked my family to arrange for me to study at the Magic Association in the royal capital, hoping to find someone who can read these words. So I met you. Can you understand it?" Tasya stared at the "True Source of Magic" in Xiao Chen's hand, and it can be seen that she was uneasy at the moment.
Xiao Chen opened the first page of "The True Source of Magic Power" and found the passage that Tashia had copied. He flipped through a few pages and found that they were all discussions of this theory. He nodded in response to her inquiring eyes and said, "No problem!"
"Sure?"
"Of course, I can start explaining anytime."
"Then let's get started." Once Tasya made up her mind, she was very decisive.
—————————
On the fifth floor of the Magic Association, in a large and magnificently decorated room, Prince Javier and Ye Zi sat on an Empire-style hand-woven carpet. Ye Zi was doing something he hadn't done for more than a decade, playing with a child with snowflake building blocks.
In addition to the two of them, there was another woman beside them. She was wearing a black cloak, but the hood had been removed, revealing her beautiful appearance. Her black hair was long and straight like a waterfall, and her eyes were a rare golden color, like pure amber. At this time, she was sitting on a sofa at one side, playing with two snowflake building blocks in her hands.
The woman's name was Mei, and she was Javier's guardian. Ye Zi observed her actions. Sometimes she looked pure, and sometimes she looked mature. It was hard to tell her age, but there was no doubt that she was beautiful in any temperament.
"Javier mentions Xiao Chen and your name every day now. The queen is also very curious, so she asked me to come to the Magic Association to take a look." Mei leaned over and touched Javier's head.
"Master Xiao Chen is very good at guiding people. As for me, I am just playing with him." Ye Zi said.
"Javier is a sensitive and innocent child. If he likes someone, that person must be really good to him. I believe your presence is a good thing for his growth." Mei said.
"Thank you for your trust." Ye Zi handed a finished structure to Javier, who concentrated on splicing it into his spell model. "Actually, I like this child very much. It's a feeling. In our words, it's fate."
"Fate? That's an interesting way of putting it." Mei said with a smile, looking at the two people sitting next to each other.
