Chapter 1174 Desire to control

Stop doing such meaningless things! Is magic so easy to learn? How much does it cost to become a magician? You have no idea at all now!"

The veins on his forehead were raised, and he roared like a violent lion. The mother Anna next to him gently hugged Tariya and whispered: "Okay, okay, don't be stubborn, I know you are out of curiosity..."

"Curious? Curious to sell jewelry to buy the Lawshizi magic book?"

Merridge shouted: "You are so disappointing to me! From now on, don't leave the house half a step away! Viscount Poly has a banquet the day after tomorrow. You will attend it at that time. You can ignore the whole process, but don't mention any magic for me!"

After saying this, he turned around and left angrily.

Tariya's face was numb. When her mother Anna looked at her posture, she quickly said, "Just be obedient. Don't think so much. Magic is too complicated. How can you understand it?"

But Tariya nodded: "I can understand."

"Say stupid again! Of course I can understand the words in the book, but can you release magic?"

Before Tariya could answer, she pulled her daughter up and stuffed her back to the bedroom: "I have something to go out later. Don't make your father angry again! Be obedient..."

The door was closed, and Tariya looked at the door in front of her, and her expression became gloomy involuntarily.

Her magic book and the remaining gold coins she had before were confiscated by her father. Obviously, "learning magic" is something that the Galand family cannot consider at all. Facing her angry father, Tariya explained that she even had the idea of ​​directly confronting the other party, but she knew very well 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 early to apply it in actual combat.

But to stay here, Tariya knew that she must have no way out, because the day after tomorrow the banquet was to have a simple meeting with Viscount Poly's son, and then make an engagement without any accident, and she would marry the other party. The chat she overheard said that this would allow the Galand family to take more orders from Viscount Poly's southern territory.

But the price is that Tariya will follow the viscount's son to live in the distant southern countryside, where there is no magic tower, and there will be no kind-hearted mage like Nefi to guide her.

Tariya is unwilling to accept such an arrangement, but now she is penniless and her magic book has been confiscated. What should she do?

After sitting in the room for a while, Tariya suddenly stood up and saw her mother Anna stepping into the carriage and leaving. Her father hurried out not long after. She was unwilling to wait for her established destiny in the house. After confirming the position of the servant who was guarding her, she put on a cloak, opened the window and climbed out of the second floor quickly along the eaves...

Because of her strong physical coordination, Tariya is much more flexible than an ordinary noble girl. Instead of leaving directly, she first entered her father's room and took away the gold coins and magic books she had just confiscated today.

Then...she went straight to Nafi's home.

Tariya knocked on the door of Nafi's residence, and the latter unexpectedly invited her into the house: "What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"

Nefi was not old, but at this time she seemed much more mature than Tariya, because she had always played a powerful intermediate mage, with strength and independence in all aspects.

"Master, I...I want to ask you some questions."

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

The price of Nafi paid consultation is not expensive. This is to allow Tariya to exercise her ability to ask questions and not let the other party become a "hands-reacher" - but Tariya did not ask questions about magic, but simply explained the current difficulties she was facing: "...So, Nafi, I don't know why they had to marry a designated person, and they were unwilling to let me get in touch with magic. Although I consumed a lot of gold coins, I would definitely be able to make back the money in the future..."

Tariya has shown extraordinary talent these days. Not only can she learn magic quickly, but she has made amazing progress in memory, reciting spells, and even writing and drawing magic circles.

Under such premise, as long as she has enough raw materials and sells the primary magic props she made, she can make a lot of money - but when she explained this, her father rudely interrupted her and said, "It's meaningless to learn these things, it will only make you unable to get married."

After hearing this, Nafi thought for a while and said, "This question does not involve magic, so I don't charge you anymore. But what I said next only represents my own ideas. After you listen, you think about it yourself, how about it?"

Tariya nodded quickly.

"Parents' desire to control their children is born. Sometimes they want to control you not to achieve any purpose - such as commercial interests, or status improvement - more so just for psychological satisfaction... Isn't it a pleasure to see that they can control the fate of others? Look at the Lord Earl Vesta, who said that someone was sentenced to death, and that person would be dragged to the square to hang himself - this fate that can determine the life and death of others is often fascinating."

Nefi pointed the air with his fingers, and the light ball was condensed.

"If you want to become a mage and have a higher status, you are essentially the behavior that you want to get rid of control in your heart. After all, the more power you control, the more others cannot control you, right? If you are a high-level mage now, will your father still talk to you with that attitude? I'm afraid when you see you become the guest of honor for the lord, he must be careful when he talks to you."

Tariya nodded deeply, then narrowed her eyes: "But I can't stop them now. The money is probably not enough for me to continue learning magic..."

"The first thing to do as a mage is to think and make decisions by yourself. You can ask for advice and improve evaluation, but don't trust others' words. This is my advice."

Nafi said as she handed a notebook next to Tariya: "You have a good talent, and it would be a pity if you stop practicing here. I can only help you. The day after tomorrow is the day for review, so make your own decision."

This means seeing off guests.

Tariya took the notebook with some surprise and found that it was all about some of the experiences written by Nafi. She immediately stood up to salute and thanked her.

"Believe in yourself and not be a slave to anyone."

Nefi smiled: "I have a similar fate as you, so I know what you are facing."

Tariya deeply agreed with this sentence, and she bowed her head and saluted again: "I will remember this sentence."
