After circling around Hovela City for thirty kilometers, they returned to the vicinity of Elsen City. Finally, they landed in an empty space outside the city. They circled the area and began planning to build a specialized "factory" for the modification and expansion of the Hovela.
All of this would take some time, but Camilla took it very seriously. She realized that the "floating space tower" was not only for floating, but more importantly, it had to be designed by herself. This heavy responsibility was not something she could bear alone. It just so happened that Naiffy, as a "top student" who had "studied" in Lassiman, could help her mother in the construction of machinery and puppets. So, she was arranged by Roddy to be the technical leader of the "modification factory".
But Naiffy could not immediately get to work, because Tyriya, who was in the demiplane, had made her decision. The demon monarch chose to run away on the day of the 'blind date' banquet. Her hair was messy, and she was wearing a simple cloak. She ran straight to the magic tower and participated in the selection before the last place was up.
She breathed heavily. Her terrible image surprised the others who participated in the 'test', but because Tyria's appearance was too gorgeous, no one laughed at her in the end, and they all waited silently.
There were many steps in the test for the high-order mage Ethan. Many of the test-takers obviously encountered difficulties and were eliminated. They walked out dejectedly.
Although Tyria had a good mental fortitude, she was obviously nervous. She sat in the waiting room, constantly flipping through the notebook that Naiffy gave her to relieve her anxiety. But as she flipped through the pages, she suddenly realized that some of the sentences were very wrong. According to the Bringan language that she had learned, there were even a lot of grammatical errors and grammatical errors.
If it was written by an ordinary person, Tyria would not be suspicious. But for a knowledgeable mage like Naiffy to write like this, she found it very strange.
Her keen intuition told her that Naiffy seemed to have done it on purpose. But no matter how she thought about it, she could not see any other meaning behind it. Not long after, she began the so-called "aptitude test". Unsurprisingly, Tyria passed the test without a hitch. Because she performed the "Magus' Hand" perfectly on the spot, her talent was praised by Ethan.
"Very good! You are the student with the most potential I have ever seen! If you're willing to stay, I'll waive all your tuition fees and materials. You can follow Esther and study in my main lab. "
With that, Wizard Ethan stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction. But at this moment, the carriage from the Galen Family stopped in front of the Magic Tower. Merrick and Anna came to look for Talia with pale faces, but they didn't dare to act rashly at the entrance. After all, this was the territory of a high-ranked mage, and even the city lord had to be cautious.
Wizard Ethan, who had received the news, personally met with them. After learning that Talia had run away on her own, he merely raised his eyebrows and expressed that Talia was a "good seedling that he valued".
After hearing these words, Merrick seemed to understand that some facts could no longer be changed. He looked at Talia, who was standing at the side, and did not fly into a rage like before. Instead, he sighed and expressed that it was an honor for the Galen Family before leaving with Anna.
At this moment, Tyriya felt incomparably refreshed. She looked at her father's angry but helpless back, her hands tightly clenched together.
Because she knew that from now on, she was completely free from her parents' interference in her destiny.
The joy gradually grew. After Talia confirmed her dormitory, the first thing she did was to take her notebook and her remaining pocket money to look for Naify before she started her magic studies. She wanted to inform Naify that she had "passed the review". At this time, Talia was affected by the environment. After receiving a favor, she had already begun to think of ways to repay the favor.
After successfully knocking on Naify's door, Talia raised her hand and handed over the "gift" she had bought along the way. She had used her remaining "pocket money" to buy a snack. Although it was not expensive, Talia did not have much money left. This was a token of her appreciation.
"For me?" Naifei's eyebrows were raised high, and then she beamed with joy, "Thank you!"
She invited Talia into the room, and the latter was also in a good mood. However, she immediately noticed that Naify did not seem to be in a good state. There were dark circles under her eyes and her hair was a little messy.
"Did I … disturb your rest?"
"No, no. It's just that I've been sleeping late recently. I still don't want to sleep during the day."
Hearing this, Talia did not ask any more questions. After the two talked for a while about the review, Talia took out the notebook and suddenly asked, "By the way, there are some words in this notebook that I don't quite understand. Some of them seem to have grammatical problems. Is it a typo? Or — "
Halfway through her sentence, she noticed that Naify's expression had changed. Her eyes seemed to have suddenly lost focus, as if she had been hit by a mental spell. But very quickly, her expression became nervous. She stared at Talia, breathing rapidly. She quickly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and stuffed it into Talia's hand. At the same time, she said in a very low voice, "Go back and read it …"
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Talia was indeed a little confused by Naify's behavior. But after a long period of interaction with Naify, she knew that Naify would not harm her. So she raised her hand and took the piece of paper. "What …"
But before she could ask, she saw Naify's head droop. She leaned to the side as if she was extremely sleepy. Talia quickly reached out to support her, but Naify suddenly woke up and sat up abruptly. "Huh? My head was a little dizzy just now. Maybe it's because I stayed up for too long … "
She explained in a low voice. Talia clutched the piece of paper tightly in her hand. Her mind was racing, but in the end, she did not ask for the notebook.
Seeing that Naify was not in a good state, Talia quickly took her leave. But before she left, Naify did not ask for the notebook. Instead, she said that she had already given it to Talia and did not need to return it.
She returned to the dormitory in the Magic Tower with a heavy heart. Only then did she take out the piece of paper and take a look. There were no words on it, only a string of numbers.
Talia had a high IQ and strong mental strength. But when faced with such a string of numbers, she could not understand it even after thinking for the whole night. At the same time, she could not figure out why Naify was in such a state.
Her intuition told her that something was definitely wrong. But even when Talia started working with Ethan in the laboratory the next day, she still had no clue.
This situation continued until the fourth day. When Talia listened to Ethan talk about the ancient "encrypted" manuscripts, she suddenly realized that the string of numbers might be an "encrypted text"!
