Chapter 1171: Being a Mage
"It's okay to go out, but you have to be accompanied by Mary, your current situation... It's not very good, we've already gone to the church, and the Bishop will prepare prayers and theological services for you on the weekend, and maybe your amnesia will be cured by then..."
Talya's "mother" Anna Gaylan said with a concerned look on her face as she gripped her somewhat cold palm, an action that made Talia instinctively shake for a moment, but then relaxed.
Because she now realized that the two of them would not harm themselves, at least these days, they were the ones who ensured their own food supply, and at the same time, the maid Mary also took care of all her daily life when she was weak, and even changed her clothes and bathed with the help of the other party.
Taria was not grateful for this, her mind was cold, and she had even begun to think about how to use their feelings for her to achieve more things.
"Mother" Anna's voice continued: "Are you feeling better these days? Mary said that you don't even seem to be able to speak completely, and you don't even know the words in the book? Talia, you're so smart, you won't have a hard time learning - alas, blame me, I should have stopped you that day..."
She began to babble and blame herself again, talking about the incident that caused Talia's "amnesia": according to her account, Talia was rebellious and naughty by nature, and when she was out of the city in a carriage before, she had to climb on top of the carriage to enjoy the scenery of the village outside, but she fell off the carriage because of the sudden bump of the wheels, and after a severe head collision, she caused "amnesia", and she could no longer even remember words and words.
Tariya's mother brought it up almost every day, so much so that her ears were calloused. And her father, who had not been smiling in front of him, ate silently - through these days, Tariya had learned that her father was a baron who inherited the territory, but the family usually lived in the city, because the focus of the family's brewing business was now in the city, so they no longer watched the farmers in the territory all day as before.
The personnel of the "Chamber of Commerce" have to hold meetings every once in a while to decide on the next business trends and directions, which also makes the Gailan family basically only go to the manor in the territory outside the city for a vacation once a year, and they are managed by housekeepers on weekdays.
"Alright, let's get to rest early after eating, Talia, just talk to Mary if there's anything you need. ”
Her silent father seemed to be a little indifferent to her, and after eating, he got up and went to the study. Tarya didn't bother to say hello, she looked a little stunned now, their eyes wide, as if they were never focused. The mother next to her seemed very distressed when she saw her like this, and pulled her to talk for a long time, until she was tired.
When the surroundings finally quieted down, Talia returned to her bedroom, she had barely learned Bringa and writing these days, so when Mary caught up, she said that she was ready to go out - as a noble lady, she naturally had to change her clothes and dress up carefully before going out, although Talia was not very used to it, but she had gradually adapted to this so-called "rule" psychologically, and subtly learned the "normal way of using her fingers", and even her walking posture was corrected by her mother to be "noble" The way it should be.
Don't stand out too much in an unfamiliar environment, Tariya instinctively remembers this, so she blends into this unknown world at breakneck speed, and it has been difficult to see the flaws until now.
Taking a deep breath, changing into civilian clothes and putting on a cloak, Talia walked out the door, turned the corner, and walked onto the city's busiest street for the first time - it was early afternoon, and the bustling residents were walking back and forth, and all kinds of topics were full of all kinds of topics, and Talia stood there and listened for a long time, until Mary asked next to her, and she came back to her senses and asked, "Mage... What is it?"
This is because many people in the neighborhood talk about "mage" in a reverent tone and use honorific titles. When Tarya heard this, she was immediately interested: she instinctively wanted to control more power and higher status.
"Mage? Very powerful, very powerful people. ”
Mary couldn't say it clearly, and it took a long time to describe it, but Tariya understood, and she gestured, "How, be, mage?"
This topic made Mary stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook her head: "Don't think about this, the threshold for mages is too high, and I've never heard of any noble lady tossing to be a mage, miss, let's look at something else..."
But no matter how much she persuaded her, Taria seemed to have her eyes on the profession of "mage", and she even found a "Dawson magic shop" not far away through the discussion of those around her, and pushed the door and walked in despite Mary's obstruction.
And then... She saw a red-haired female mage buying items at the counter and taking out gold coins to pay.
"One gold coin and twelve silver coins, huh. ”
Nefi's voice was crisp, and after he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Talia, raised his eyebrows a little strangely, and then smiled politely.
Taria originally had a blank expression like a mask, but at this moment she knew that she wanted to know everything about the mage, and she was afraid that she would have to start with the girl in front of her, so she controlled her muscles and tried to make herself smile awkwardly, nodding slightly.
But Nephi didn't seem to mean to say much, she turned her head to take the materials she had bought, passed by Talia, didn't say much, and walked out the door.
Tarya's eyes kept on Nefi's back, and she wanted to stop the other party, but the knowledge she had learned over the past few days made her understand that it was not "polite" and inappropriate for her to do so, so Talia finally resisted the urge and turned to look at the old man in front of the counter.
"Is there anything you need? Miss. ”
"I, would like to ask, how to become... Mage. ”
Talia's straightforward question made the other party raise her eyebrows, and then shook her head with a wry smile: "I can't answer you casually, if you go the wrong way because of my advice, you will definitely trouble me at that time." ”
But the more he said this, the more Talia realized that she had actually touched something, and she was a little excited in her heart and wanted to continue asking, but Mary next to her hurriedly stopped: "Miss... Don't ask any more questions, or you-"
"Why?"
Puzzled, Talia turned back and asked, "Why can't you be a mage?"
Mary stuttered a little, she seemed to know something, but it was obviously difficult to explain it in front of outsiders, so Taria finally chose to give up for the time being, led her to the door, and said, "Can you talk about it now?"
"Miss, being a mage is too expensive... You see, the mage just now, it costs gold to buy such a few things... If you do, I'm afraid your family can't afford it..."
