"No, I don't have any thoughts. I am busy learning magic every day now, and I don't think about anything else at all."
After Talia finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "This voice specifically asked me to learn plane spells, does it... have something to do with the other side of the plane?"
Nai Fei did not immediately give affirmation, but frowned for a long time, and suddenly said: "I suddenly thought of a possibility, but it may sound ridiculous."
"What's possible?"
"That's...sometimes, people's self-awareness will split into two or more personalities, but this split is often difficult for oneself to detect."
Naifei recalled: "The record I saw said that there was a man who was an honest bartender during the day, but after sleeping at night, he found himself in a strange place when he woke up in the morning. He spent a whole night bragging with others, and won a lot of money from gambling...and he didn't even know about it."
Talia widened her eyes and listened: "Is there such a thing?"
"I also find it strange. This article says that it seems that there are two souls stuffed into the human body, each doing different things and having different thoughts. But...you are quite honest when you sleep next to me , didn’t go out to do messy things in the middle of the night, so it shouldn’t be the case.”
Naifei herself denied the possibility of "multiple personalities", and glanced left and right: "Speaking of which, are you familiar with that voice?"
"It sounds...it sounds like it's me talking."
Talia felt a little flustered, but Naifei quickly comforted her and said, "I think we should look at it from another angle. Although this voice is urging you to do something, the root cause should be that it can't be controlled at all, so I listened to it. Repeat it in this way, isn't it? Next time you meet again, why not try to communicate or resist? Of course... this is just a suggestion. I think in the long run, I'm afraid I should go to Houllier City to find someone to watch Look best."
"Hmm...I'll think about it, thank you, Nephi...I feel better now that you've said that."
Talia exhaled, and sat on the cushion to calm down for a while. The voice didn't appear again, and her mood gradually calmed down.
Nafi chatted with her about the situation in the kingdom for a while. Talia was blind to the surrounding environment before, but now she reads a lot of "newspapers", and with Nefei mentioning it from time to time, she gradually understands it unconsciously. Now what is happening in the outside world, and have their own views...
"Why does Hollier City cooperate with the Dragon Clan? Humans can also be on an equal footing with these powerful races?"
"I don't know either. I heard it's because the Prime Minister is more powerful. The newspapers always say that he used to be a very powerful lord, and he faced demons with dragons or something..."
"What kind of devil is it?"
"It was drawn in a newspaper issue before. I heard that there are many kinds. The high elves were extinct because of their attacks, and now they seem to be making a comeback."
Nafie was also a little confused as he spoke: "The newspaper said so, but I don't know if it will be true. The cabinet has been saying to prepare for defense all day long, but the high elves didn't stop it. Can we stop it?"
Talia didn't know anything about it, and said in a low voice: "I hope they can stop it..."
The two chatted like this, sitting together on the dirt slope and watching the sunset slowly fall.
A few days later, Master Ethan, who had traveled far away, returned to the Master Tower and brought back new newspapers and materials.
Relying on her outstanding talent, Talia has shed her "apprentice" status in a few months and became an official magician. With such progress, Master Ethan has already taken her seriously, and obviously regards Talia as his most potential disciple to train.
There are six other apprentices in the laboratory, and they also serve as "slaves". Because of Talia's high talent, now she no longer needs to do some time-wasting chores, and even has the permission to approach Nefer, and can be in Master Ethan's laboratory is free to come and go.
And because she was able to get in direct contact with Master Ethan's research topics, Talia clearly realized that the other party was a little out of sorts recently, and she no longer had the energetic and clear-cut appearance of the past.
"Master, this magic circle seems a little strange."
"Well, it's a plane circle, but I don't have much idea."
Ethan has a good temper. After answering Talia's question, seeing that she was still frowning and puzzled, he explained: "That's right, I went out for a trip and found that the entire magic world is currently studying the plane crazily. Magic circle, this is the hottest subject, if it can be achieved..."
As he spoke, he sighed: "Even if it's just the tiniest achievement, it can get the attention of Houlier City, and thus get a lot of resources and financial support."
Seeing Master Ethan's stubbled face, Talia realized something, and asked in a low voice: "The ones I studied before... Isn't the direction right?"
"It's not wrong, it's just that if you study those things in the future, you may not get much return. Now there are no nobles to provide funds. If no one buys the scrolls and magic circles that are made, if this continues, I can only dismiss you." Ethan rubbed his brows while talking: "If it's not that there is no choice, who would want to face such a headache?"
Talia knew that she couldn't help, so she could only nod beside her.
That night, she borrowed the latest "Karen Times" and read it, and found that the content on the front page was just stating that "the latest progress has been made in the plane magic circle, and the problem of energy spar is expected to be completely resolved", and right here At that moment, Talia heard whispers in her ear again...
"Understand it, master it, you can gain more power..."
This time, Talia didn't cover her ears or retreat timidly. She stood up abruptly, staring at the air with her eyes, and said loudly, "Who the hell are you?!"
The room fell silent instantly, and Talia's chest rose and fell, and she continued to ask: "Why are you talking about this! What are you going to do?"
"I'm... saving you..."
When Talia heard this, she immediately realized that what Nefei said was right: she might really have another personality.
She has long been worried these days. Facing this voice, Talia suddenly felt an indescribable anger in her heart: "I don't need to be rescued. Who are you?"
No one wants another consciousness to dominate their thoughts, but the voice close to the ear slowly said: "I am you, you are me, we are one..."
"roll!"
Talia's expression was almost distorted, and she hurriedly glanced left and right with a mixture of fear and anger: "I am me, you should never appear again!"
"You can't get rid of my..."
"No, I can get rid of it!"
As Talia said, she raised her hand and picked up her wand, pointing the tip at her head directly: "I, Talia Gaelan, order you to disappear immediately! If you bother me again, we will die together!"
