Stop doing such meaningless things! Is magic so easy to learn? How much does it cost to become a magician? You have no idea now! "
His father, Merichi Gailan, had bulging veins on his forehead and roared like a raging lion. And the mother Anna next to her gently embraced Talia, and said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, don't be stubborn, I know you are out of curiosity..."
"Curiosity? Curiosity can sell jewelry to buy Laoshizi magic book?"
Murridge yelled: "You really let me down! From now on, don't leave the house for half a step! Viscount Polly has a banquet the day after tomorrow, and you have to attend it at that time. You can keep silent the whole time, but don't Tell me about magic again!"
After saying this, he turned and left angrily.
Talia's face was numb. Mother Anna saw her gesture and hurriedly said: "Just be obedient, don't think so much, magic is too complicated, how can you understand it?"
But Talia nodded: "I can understand."
"Stupid words again! Of course I can understand the words in the book, but can you release magic?"
Before Talia could answer, she pulled her daughter up and stuffed her all the way back into the bedroom: "I have some things to go out later, you must stop making father angry! Be obedient..."
The door was closed, and Talia looked at the door in front of her, her expression involuntarily gloomy.
Her magic book and the remaining gold coins were confiscated by her father. Obviously, "learning magic" is something that cannot be considered in the Gailan family. In the face of the furious father, Talia explained that there was even a direct conflict. The other party wanted to fight, but she was very clear that she was not the opponent of this strong father...
Even though she had just developed a concept of magic and made rapid progress, it was still too early to apply it in actual combat.
But if she continued to stay here, Talia knew that she must have no way out, because the banquet the day after tomorrow was for her to have a brief meeting with Viscount Polly's son, and then she would make a marriage contract without any accidents. Will marry each other—the chat she overheard said that this would allow the Gailan family to win more orders from Viscount Polly's southern territory.
But the price was that Talia would follow the viscount's son to live in the remote southern countryside, where there was no magic tower, and there would be no kind mage like Nefei to guide her.
Talia is unwilling to accept such an arrangement, but now that she is penniless and the magic book has been confiscated, what should she do
After sitting in the house for a while, Talia stood up suddenly, and saw that her mother, Anna, stepped into the carriage and left. Her father hurried out after a while, but she did not want to wait for the established fate in the house after all, and confirmed the guardianship of herself. After taking the position of the servant, he put on his cloak, opened the window and quickly climbed out from the second floor along the eaves...
Because of her strong physical coordination, Talia was far more flexible than ordinary noble girls. Instead of leaving directly, she entered her father's room first, and took away the gold coins and magic books that she had just confiscated today.
Then...she went straight to Nephi's house.
Talia knocked on the door of Naifei's residence, and the latter invited her in unexpectedly: "What's the matter? Someone bullied you?"
Nefer is not very old, but at this time she seems to be much more mature than Talia, because she has always played the role of a powerful mid-level mage, showing strength and independence in all aspects.
"My lord, I... have some questions to ask you."
"Oh. Come on, it's still the old rules."
The price of Nafi’s paid consultation is not expensive. This is to allow Talia to exercise her questioning ability, and also to prevent the other party from becoming a “reaching party”—but Talia did not ask questions about magic, but put herself The current predicament is briefly stated: "...So, Master Nephi, I don't know why they have to ask me to marry a designated person, and at the same time they are not willing to let me touch magic. Although it consumes a lot of gold coins, but I can definitely earn that money back in the future..."
Talia has shown extraordinary talent these days. Not to mention learning magic, she has made amazing progress in memorizing and reciting spells, and even writing and drawing magic circles.
Under such a premise, as long as she has enough raw materials, she can make a lot of money by selling the elementary magic props she made—but when she explained this, her father interrupted her rudely, and said, "Learn these It doesn't make any sense, it just makes you unable to get married."
Naifei thought for a while after hearing this, and said: "This question does not involve magic, so I will not charge you. But what I say next only represents my own thoughts. After listening to it, you can think about it yourself, how about it?"
Talia nodded quickly.
"Parents' desire to control their children is natural. They want to control you, sometimes not for any purpose - such as business interests, or promotion of status - more just for psychological satisfaction …Isn’t it a kind of enjoyment to see that you can control the fate of others? Look at the lord, Count Vesta. Destiny is often fascinating."
Naifei tapped the air with her finger, and the light ball was condensed.
"You want to become a mage and have a higher status. In fact, you want to get rid of control in your heart. After all, only the more power you control, others can't control you, right? If you are a high-level mage now, Will your father still talk to you with that attitude? I am afraid that when he sees you as the lord's guest, he will have to be careful when talking to you."
Talia nodded approvingly, then narrowed her eyes: "But I can't stop them now, I'm afraid the money is not enough for me to continue learning magic..."
"Being a mage, the first thing is to think for yourself and make a decision. You can ask for opinions and improve your evaluation, but don't trust others' words. This is my advice."
Nai Fei said and handed a notebook next to Talia: "Your talent is very good, it would be a pity if you stop practicing here, and there is only so much I can help you with. The day after tomorrow is the day of review, and then do it yourself Decide."
This means seeing off guests.
Talia took the notebook with some surprise, and found that it was written by Nai Fei, she immediately got up and saluted.
"Believe in yourself and don't be anyone's slave."
Naifei smiled: "I have a similar fate to you, so I know what you are facing."
This sentence deeply impressed Talia, she bowed her head and saluted again: "I will remember this sentence."
