Talia did not realize that when she learned the language and words from the books in her "home", the "history" she learned were all modified versions of the history of the Kingdom of Karen. Although it described the deeds of various lords and monarchs, there was never a map.
In other words, no one in the entire Demiplane had ever told her how big the world was, or where she was on the map … Because everything was controlled by humans, she could not ask even if she wanted to.
When the way to obtain knowledge was controlled, Talia could only obtain the knowledge that others wanted her to know, and she could not cross the line at all.
At this time, she was still living in such an environment. Although Wizard Ethan seemed to be knowledgeable, and Naiffy often answered all kinds of difficult questions, Talia only really wanted to understand the whole world when she saw the content of the Karen Times.
"What … is this?"
She had a vague impression of "Hollier City", but she did not understand the political system of the human world at all. She stared blankly at the words on the front page for a long time. She seemed to know something, but she could not remember the specific content.
It was a very uncomfortable feeling. Talia rubbed her temples and tried hard to remember. Just when she felt that she had finally grasped a clue, she suddenly heard a low voice. "You need to … become stronger."
Tyria shuddered violently and instantly bounced up from her chair.
"Who?!"
She quickly scanned her surroundings and found that there was no one in front of her or behind her. A faint element condensed in her palm, and Tyriya's heart was beating rapidly. This voice sounded very similar to her own voice, and at the same time, it was abnormally clear. It was definitely not an illusion, as if it was whispering into her ear.
Talia completely forgot the things she had just remembered. Her forehead was already dripping with cold sweat, and her face was extremely pale. After confirming that there was no one here, she suddenly remembered a thought that was buried deep in her mind.
"Don't be controlled!"
Why would she remember this sentence? Who would want to control herself?
Talia's brain worked quickly, and she quickly thought of a certain possibility. However, her face did not change. She took the newspaper and looked for Naiffy who lived on the other floor. As it was night time, Naiffy was wearing pajamas and writing something. When he saw Talia, he was a little puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"It's just that … I feel like I've forgotten a lot of things. When I saw this —"
"Newspaper."
"Yes, newspaper … I don't remember having such a thing before."
"I've only seen this recently. We didn't distribute it in our country before. I didn't know about it until I came here."
Naifei remained calm and took out a newspaper from two months ago. "This is from before. I passed by a town on my way here, so I bought a copy out of curiosity. You were also reading it at that time. Have you forgotten about it?"
"Ah? I can't remember … "
Tyria took it. She was very curious about what was written on it, but she suppressed her emotions and asked, "I... I just heard someone talking in my ear, but..."
She clearly regarded Naifei as the person she trusted the most. She explained the situation to Naifei. Naifei was confused after listening to her, but she did not underestimate her. She said in a low voice, "Let's go ask Wizard Ethan tomorrow. If he doesn't know, then —"
"Is there any other way?"
Tyria also realized that Ethan was, after all, a mage, not a doctor. He was probably at his wit's end when it came to this kind of illness. She was just an apprentice, and it was not appropriate for her to let her mentor worry about such things every day.
After all, she was influenced by the style and values of the 'Galen Family'. She believed that she should not owe "favors" if she could. After all, she could be said to be penniless now. Apart from some jewelry that she carried with her, she had no other property.
Naifei thought for a moment and finally pointed to the newspaper, "If there's any place that can solve this problem, it's probably the city of Hollier. After all, there are the most powerful mages and all kinds of mages there. I heard that there are even Dragons there! "
When she heard the word 'Dragons', Tyria's eyes obviously widened. "Dragons? Are they the kind that are especially powerful? "
"Yes, but in your case, I'm afraid there's no way to ask Dragons directly. To be honest, after reading the news in these newspapers, I always feel that my magic level is too low. I don't think anyone will care even if I go there … "
Naifei explained some of the current mechanisms and the density of mages in Hollier, but the more she listened, the more Tyria felt strange. "Is this city very famous before?"
"No, I think it suddenly became famous in the last six months. The place we stayed before was too remote, and the news is not fast, so it's normal that we don't know about it. When we came here, you said in the carriage that you wanted to go to Hollier to have a look … "
"Ah? Did I? "
Tarya was at a loss, but Naifei vividly recounted the incident. Naifei even described how the two of them were almost bitten by a snake when they were looking for a toilet on the way.
"Now that you mention it, it seems like … it seems like it's true."
Tyria had no idea that "memories" would usually "fill in the gaps" under a hint. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally did not question Naifei because she trusted him. After all, she had no reason to question this kind of thing, and Naifei had no reason to lie to her.
The two talked about these problems until late at night. Seeing that Tyria did not seem to have any intention of leaving, Naifei simply asked, "Are you a little … afraid?"
"I, I … am a little …"
Tyria's worries were exposed. After all, it was a new experience for her to suddenly hear a voice that no one else could hear. Fear of the unknown was a common emotion of all living beings. She, who was already no different from a human, also felt afraid, and instinctively looked for companions to counteract this fear.
"Then sleep here and have a good rest. Maybe everything will be better tomorrow."
Naifei did not say anything else. He went to the cabinet next to the side and took out a spare bedding and laid it on his bed. Tyria was obviously embarrassed, but in the end, her fear won over her shyness. She whispered, "Thank you, Naifei … I really troubled you …"
"It's not a troublesome matter. We all have times when we are afraid, don't we? Archmage Assange once said that it is because people learn to unite that they can overcome fear. Only by helping each other can we take a step closer to the truth. It's not a troublesome matter. If I need your help, then I won't be polite. "
"Yes, I understand!"
Tyria's eyes flashed, and she seemed to be thinking about something. After that, the two washed up together and lay down on the double bed. Naifei was relaxed, but Tyria's movements were careful, and she was a little nervous.
"Don't be afraid, it's safe here."
Naifei said softly. Seeing that Tyria's body was still a little tense, he simply turned to face her and held Tyria's somewhat cold hand. "Don't think about those things. Why don't you think about the formation of the level five spell that Mage Ethan talked about today? I think about it every night, and it takes about two minutes before I fall asleep. "
"Pfft …"
Tyria couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the emotion made her finally relax. She turned her head to look at Naifei, her eyes shining in the darkness.
