After a 30-kilometer circle, the city of Hovira returned to the vicinity of Elson City, and finally landed in a clearing outside the city, where it began to build a special "factory" for the renovation and expansion of the Hovira.

It will take time for all this to take place, and Camila attaches great importance to this in her heart, because she realizes that the "Floating Tower" is not only for floating, but also for the more important magic circles and applications to be planned by herself, and this heavy task is not something she can bear alone.

However, Nephie couldn't get to work right away, as Tarya in the half-plane quickly made her choice: the Demon Monarch had chosen to run away on the day of the party, her hair messy and her shabby cloak running straight to the Magic Tower, where she was in time for the final place deadline.

She breathed heavily, and her poor image surprised everyone else who participated in the "test", but because Tariya was so beautiful, no one laughed at her after all, and they all waited silently.

There are a lot of test steps for high-level mage Ethan, and many testers have obviously encountered difficulties and have been brushed off, and they are depressed when they go out.

And Talia, although her psychological quality is good, she is also obviously a little nervous. She sat in the room waiting for the test, flipping through the notebook that Nephie had given her, as a way to ease her anxiety. But as she flipped through it, she suddenly realized that some of the sentences above were very wrong, and according to the usage of the Bringgar language she had learned, these words could even be said to have a lot of language problems and typographical errors.

If it was an ordinary person, Tariya would not have doubts, but it was strange that Nephi, as a learned mage, wrote it like this.

Sharp instincts made Taria feel that this seemed to be Nephie's intention, but no matter how she thought about it, she didn't see anything else in it. It didn't take long for her to start the so-called "qualification test" - unsurprisingly, Talia passed the audit with great success, and was praised by Ethan for her talent due to the perfect release of the "Mage's Hand" on the spot.

"Very well! You are the most promising student I have ever met! If you are willing to stay, I will waive all your tuition and material fees, and you will study in my main laboratory with Esther in the future. ”

With that, Master Ethan stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. But at this moment, the carriage from the Gaylan family stopped in front of the magic tower - Murrich and Anna came to look for Tariya with blue faces, but they didn't dare to make a mistake at the door, after all, this is the territory of high-level mages, and the city lords should be cautious.

And Master Ethan, who heard the news, personally met with them, and after learning that Talia had escaped by himself, he just raised his eyebrows, and said that Talia was "a good seedling that he values".

When Murridge heard this, he seemed to understand that some facts could not be changed, he looked at Tariya who was standing aside, and instead of being as angry as before, he sighed, said "This is the honor of the Gaylan family" and left with Anna with his head bored.

At this moment, Tarya felt extremely happy, she looked at her father's angry but helpless back, and her hands were tightly clenched together.

Because she knows that from now on, she is completely free from her parents' interference in fate.

Joy gradually grows, after Talia confirmed her dormitory, she immediately took advantage of the fact that she had not yet started her magic study, and hurriedly went to find Nephi with her notebook and her only change left, she wanted to inform Nefi of the news that she had "approved" - at this time, Talia was finally affected by the environment: after receiving favors, she had already begun to think about giving back to the other party.

Knocking on Nephie's door, Taria raised her hand and handed over the "gift" she had bought on the road: she used her remaining "pocket money" to buy a snack, although it was not expensive, but Taria did not have much money left, which was also her heart.

"For me?" opened your Nefi eyebrows, and then smiled: "Thank you!"

She invited Talia into the house, who was also in a good mood, but immediately noticed that Nephie did not seem to be in a good state, with dark circles under her eyes and her hair a little messy.

"I... Did it disturb your rest?"

"No, no, lately I've just been sleeping late at night, but I still don't want to sleep during the day. ”

Hearing this, Tarya didn't ask much, and after the two chatted about the review for a while, Talia took out the notebook and suddenly asked, "By the way, there are some words on this note that I don't understand very well... A few sentences seem to be grammatically faulty, are they clerical errors? or—"

Halfway through her speech, she noticed that Nefi's expression had become a little wrong: the latter's gaze seemed to have suddenly lost focus, as if she had been hit by a spiritual spell at this moment, but soon her expression became nervous, and she stared at Tariya with shortness of breath, quickly reached out and took out a note from her pocket and stuffed it, while saying in a very low voice: "Go back and see..."

"Huh?"

Tarya was indeed a little confused by her behavior at this moment, but the long-term communication with Nephie let her know that the other party would not harm her, so she raised her hand to take the note and asked, "How..."

However, before she could ask, she saw Nefi's head drooping and leaning to the side as if she was sleepy and dozing off—Tariya quickly reached out to support her, but Nefi suddenly woke up and sat up straight: "Eh? Maybe I've stayed up too long..."

She whispered a few words of explanation, and Tarya clutched the note tightly in her hand, her mind racing, but she still didn't ask the question in her heart.

Seeing that Nephie was not in good shape, Taria quickly said goodbye and left, but when she left, Nefi did not ask for the notebook, but said that it had been given to Taria and did not need to be returned.

She returned to the dormitory of the magic tower with a heavy heart, and then took out the note and looked at it, but it turned out that there were no words on it, only a string of numbers.

Talia has a high IQ and strong mental strength, but in the face of such a series of clueless numbers, she thought about it all night and didn't understand what it meant, and at the same time, she couldn't figure out why Nephi was in that situation.

Her instincts told her that something was wrong, but Tarya didn't have a clue until the next day she was busy in the lab with Master Ethan.

This continued until the fourth day, when Taria listened to Ethan's narration of the ancient "cryptographic" mage manuscripts, and it dawned on her... That string of numbers may be a piece of "encrypted text"!
