Don't do such meaningless things anymore! Is magic so easy to learn? How much money does it take to become a mage? You have no idea at all! "
The veins on her father's forehead bulged, and he roared like a berserk lion. Anna gently hugged Tyria and whispered, "Alright, alright, don't be stubborn. I know you're just curious …"
"Curious? Curious that you can sell your jewellery to buy some magic book? "
Merrick roared, "You really disappoint me! From now on, don't leave the house even half a step! Viscount Polly has a banquet the day after tomorrow. You can stay silent all the time, but don't mention magic again! "
After saying this, he turned around and left angrily.
Tyria's face was numb. Anna looked at her and hurriedly said, "Just be obedient and don't think so much. Magic is too complicated, how can you understand it?"
But Tyria nodded, "I can understand."
"Nonsense again! Of course I can understand the words in the book, but can you release magic? "
Without waiting for Tyria to answer, she pulled her daughter up and stuffed her into the bedroom, "I still have something to do, don't make father angry again! Be obedient … "
The door was closed. Tyria looked at the door in front of her, and her expression involuntarily became gloomy.
Her magic book and the remaining gold coins were confiscated by her father. Obviously, 'learning magic' was not something that could be considered at all in the Gaylan family. Faced with her furious father, Tyria had explained it to him, and even had the idea of directly confronting him, but she was very clear that she was no match for her strong father …
Even if she had just developed a concept of magic and was making rapid progress, it was still too early to apply it in actual combat.
But if she continued to stay here, Tyria knew that there was no way out for her. The banquet the day after tomorrow was for her to have a simple meeting with Viscount Polly's son, and if nothing unexpected happened, they would set a marriage contract, and she would marry him. The conversation she overheard said that this would allow the Gaylan family to get more orders from Viscount Polly's southern territory.
But the price was that Tyria would have to follow the Viscount's son to live in the faraway countryside in the south. There was no Mage Tower there, let alone a kind Mage like Naify to guide her.
Tyria was unwilling to accept such an arrangement, but she was penniless now, and her magic books had been confiscated. What should she do?
After sitting in the house for a while, Tyria suddenly stood up and watched as her mother, Anna, boarded the carriage and left. Not long after, her father also hurriedly left the house. In the end, she was unwilling to wait for her fate in the house. After confirming the position of the servant guarding her, she put on her cloak, pushed open the window and nimbly climbed out from the second floor along the eaves …
Due to her strong body coordination, Tarya was far more agile than an ordinary noble girl. She didn't leave immediately, but instead entered her father's room and took away the gold coins and magic books that were confiscated from her today.
After that … she went straight to Naifei's house.
Tyria knocked on the door of Naify's residence, and the latter invited her in with some surprise. "What's going on? Did someone bully you? "
Naify wasn't old, but at this moment, she seemed much more mature than Tyria. This was because she had always played the role of a powerful middle-ranked mage, and from all aspects, she revealed a strong and independent aura.
"Lord Mage, I … have some questions to ask you."
"Oh. Speak, it's still the same as before. "
Naify's paid consultation fee was not considered expensive. This was to allow Tyria to train her questioning skills, and also to prevent her from becoming a "pushy person". However, Tyria did not ask about magic, but simply explained the current predicament she was facing: "So, Mage Naify, I don't know why they want me to marry a specific person, and at the same time, they don't want me to come into contact with magic. Although it costs a lot of gold coins, I can definitely earn back that money in the future … "
These days, Tyria had already displayed extraordinary talent. Not only was she fast in learning magic, but her memory, reciting incantations, and even writing and carving magic arrays were all astonishing.
Under this premise, as long as she had enough raw materials, she could make a lot of money by selling her own magic tools. However, when she explained, her father rudely interrupted her and said, "There's no point in learning this, it will only make you unable to get married."
After listening to this, Naify thought for a moment and said: "This question does not involve magic, so I won't charge you. However, what I'm going to say next only represents my own opinion. After listening to it, you can think about it yourself. How about it? "
Tyria quickly nodded.
"Parents are born with a desire to control their children. Sometimes, they want to control you not to achieve any goals, such as commercial benefits, or to raise their status, but more for psychological satisfaction. Seeing that you can control the fate of others, isn't it a kind of enjoyment? Look at the lord Vesta, when he says that someone is sentenced to death, that person will immediately be dragged to the square to be hanged. This kind of fate that can decide the life and death of others is often fascinating. "
Naify pointed at the air with her finger, and a ball of light condensed.
"You want to become a mage, want to have a higher status, in fact, in essence, in your heart, you want to be free from control. After all, the more power you have, the harder it is for others to control you, isn't it? If you were a high-grade mage now, would your father still talk to you with that kind of attitude? I'm afraid that when he sees you become the lord's guest, he will have to be careful when talking to you. "
Tyria nodded in agreement, then narrowed her eyes: "But I can't stop them now. I'm afraid this money is not enough for me to continue learning magic …"
"The first thing to do as a mage is to think and make your own decisions. You can ask for advice and improve your assessment, but don't be gullible. This is my advice. "
Naify said as he handed a notebook to Tyria: "You are very talented, it would be a pity if you stopped training. I can only help you this much. The day after tomorrow is the day of the audit, make your own decision then. "
This meant that he wanted to send her away.
Tyria took the notebook with some surprise and found that it was filled with some of Naify's experiences. She immediately stood up and bowed to thank him.
"Believe in yourself, and don't be a slave to anyone."
Naify smiled: "I have a similar fate as you, so I know what you are facing."
This sentence made Tyria deeply agree. She lowered her head and bowed again: "I will remember this."
