Stop doing this kind of nonsense! Is magic so easy to learn? How much does it cost to become a magician? You have no idea right now!"

His father, Murrich Gaylan, had a bulging forehead and roared like a raging lion. And Anna, the mother next to her, gently hugged Tariya and whispered, "Okay, okay, don't be stubborn, I know you are out of curiosity..."

"Curious, curious to sell your jewelry and buy the Rausch Magic Book?"

Murridge yelled, "You have disappointed me so much! From now on, don't leave the house for half a step! Viscount Polly has a banquet the day after tomorrow, and you will be going to attend it when the time comes, you can not speak the whole time, but don't mention any magic to me again!"

With that, he turned away in a huff.

Taria's face was full of numbness, and her mother Anna saw her posture and hurriedly said: "Just be obedient, don't think about it so much, magic is too complicated, where can you see it?"

But Tarya nodded, "I understand." ”

Of course I can read the words in that book, but can you cast magic?"

Without waiting for Tarya to answer, she pulled her daughter up and shoved her all the way back to the bedroom: "I have some things to go out later, you must not make your father angry again!"

The door was closed, and Taria 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, and it was clear that "learning magic" was something that the Gaylan family couldn't think about at all - in the face of her angry father, Taria explained, and even had the idea of confronting each other directly, but she knew very well that she was no match for this strong father...

Even though she had just developed a concept of magic and was making rapid progress, it was still a long time before she wanted to apply it in real combat.

But if she continued to stay here, Taria knew that she must have no way out, because the banquet the day after tomorrow was to make a simple meeting between herself and the son of Viscount Polly, and then she would make a marriage contract without accident, and she would marry each other—the chat she overheard was that this would allow the Garland family to take more orders from Viscount Polly's southern territory.

But the price was that Talia would follow the viscount's son to live in the far southern countryside, where there would be no magic tower, and there would be no kind mage like Nephi to guide her.

Taria was reluctant to accept such an arrangement, but now that she was penniless and her magic books had been confiscated, what should she do?

After sitting in the house for a while, Tarya suddenly stood up, and saw her mother Anna step into the carriage and leave, and her father hurriedly went out not long after, and she didn't want to wait for the predetermined fate in the house after all, after confirming the position of the servant guarding her, she put on her cloak, pushed open the window and climbed out of the second floor along the eaves with agility...

Because of her strong physical coordination, Talia was far more flexible than ordinary noble girls, and she did not leave directly, but entered her father's room first, and took the gold coins and magic books that she had just confiscated today.

Subsequently... She went straight to Nafi's house.

Tarya knocked on the door of Nefi's residence, and the latter invited her into the house with some surprise: "What's the matter?

Nephie was not very old, but at this time she seemed to be much more mature than Talia, because she had always played the role of a high-level mage, who was strong and independent in every way.

"Master Mage, I... There are some questions I would like to ask you. ”

"Oh. Let's talk about it, it's still the same as before. ”

The price of Nefi's paid consultation is not expensive, so that Taria can exercise her ability to ask questions, and it is also not to let the other party become a "reaching party" - but instead of asking questions about magic, Talia simply stated the dilemma she is currently facing: "... So, Master Nephie, I don't know why they had to let me marry someone of choice, and they wouldn't let me get into magic. Although I consumed a lot of gold, I will definitely be able to earn back that money in the future..."

Tariya has shown a remarkable talent these days, learning magic quickly, memorizing and reciting spells, and even writing and carving circles.

Under such a premise, as long as she has enough raw materials, she can make a lot of money by selling the primary magic props she makes - but when she explains this, her father rudely interrupts her, saying that "there is no point in learning this, it will only make you unable to get married."

Nephie thought for a moment and said, "This question doesn't involve magic, so I won't charge for it." But what I said next only represents my own thoughts, how about you think about it yourself after listening to it?"

Taria nodded hurriedly.

"Parents are naturally controlling their children, and sometimes they want to control you, not for any purpose - such as business interests, or status promotion - but more for psychological satisfaction... Isn't it a pleasure to see that you are in control of someone else's fate? Look at Lord Count Vesta, who says that if someone is sentenced to death, that person will be dragged to the square and hanged—this kind of fate that can decide the life and death of others is often fascinating. ”

Nephi tapped his finger at the air, and the ball of light was condensed.

"If you want to become a mage, if you want to have a higher status, it's essentially an inner act of wanting to get out of control. After all, only the more power you control, no one else can control you, isn't it? If you were a high-level mage now, would your father still talk to you with that attitude? I'm afraid that when he sees you as a guest of honor, he will have to be careful when he talks to you. ”

Tariya nodded approvingly, then narrowed her eyes: "But I can't stop them now, I'm afraid this money is not enough for me to continue studying magic..."

"The first thing you need to do as a mage is to think and make decisions for yourself. You can ask for advice and refine your assessment, but don't take people's word for it, that's my advice. ”

Nafi said and handed a notebook next to him to Tariya: "Your talent is very good, it would be a pity if you stopped cultivating here, there is only so much I can help you." The day after tomorrow is the day of review, so make your own decision when the time comes. ”

That's what it means to send off guests.

Taria took the notebook with some surprise, and found that it was all written by Nefi, and she immediately stood up and thanked him.

"Believe in yourself and don't be anyone's slave. ”

Nefi smiled, "I have a similar fate to you, so I know what you're up against. ”

This sentence made Taria deeply convinced, and she bowed her head and saluted again: "I will remember this sentence." ”
