On the Seven Towers

"What is a gift of adventure?" Xiao Chen asked.

"There always seems to be something that cares for those powerful individuals. Many powerful people will receive gifts for various reasons after they first show their talents. Not only magicians, there are many powerful warriors who have also received magical opportunities. Many Sometimes, when these opportunities come, it's almost..." Tasia couldn't seem to find the right words for a moment.

"Inexplicable?" Xiao Chen said.

"That's right, it's like Allen I, the former monarch of the Iberian Kingdom. He was once chased by the enemy and fell off a cliff. After returning half a year later, he had mastered a strong fighting spirit. He was also visited by strangers in the military camp. He received a set of military books as a gift, and found a set of artifact armor in a cave while taking shelter in the mountains. This armor saved his life during his biggest defeat, and gave him a chance to make a comeback. All of this seemed to have been arranged. It’s the same script as before, except that ordinary actors know that they are acting, but we people don’t.”

Xiao Chen felt a little dumbfounded. He touched his nose and said, "If that's the case, I don't think the screenwriter's quality is very good. These plots are a bit old."

"Isn't it true that life is sometimes more bloody than drama?" Li Jia said.

"How many people can distinguish between life and drama? When we see a story in a book, how do we know that it is not a real world, and how do we know that we are not living in a book?" Tasia said this and sighed softly.

"Then do you have any explanation for Qiyu's gift?"

"Some people think it's a reward from the God of Nature, some people think it's a legacy from the ancient gods, but in the final analysis, no one knows why this kind of thing suddenly happened to us," she said.

"You mentioned 'us' again and again. Do you think the gift of adventure also happened to us?" Xiao Chen suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.

Tasia suddenly came over and said in a very soft voice in front of Xiao Chen: "Isn't it? The descendant of the Tower of Dreams. Your Excellency Xiao Chen. How could you get the inheritance of the Tower of Dreams without an adventure?"

When Xiao Chen heard these words, his body stiffened, and Tasia, who had already retreated to her original position, had a smile on her cold face.

Li Jia suddenly stood up from the chair. Xiao Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, Miss Tasia will not tell this if she wants to be detrimental to us."

Tasia did not speak, tilted her head slightly to indicate, and then walked out of the reading room first. Xiao Chen and Li Jia looked at each other and followed out calmly.

Tasia calmly walked down the stairs and came to the door of a reception room on the second floor. She opened the door, turned around and said to Xiao Chen: "This is the room I rented, you can talk safely."

Xiao Chen looked around. This was a secret room without windows. The floor was covered with carpets and surrounded by a circle of luxurious silk sofas. Lighting runes on the roof and walls illuminate the room. In order not to lose his momentum, he walked to the sofa and sat down. He also asked Li Jia to sit aside. Then he crossed his legs and asked: "Miss Tasia, is our relationship with the Tower of Dreams in the high-level circle of mages?" Has it been spread to some extent? Well, after all, several great magicians already know this secret. As a descendant of an ancient magic family, it should not be difficult for Miss Tasia to obtain such information. "

This female magician, who looked to be in her early twenties, walked to sit across from Xiao Chen, shook her head and said, "That's not true. I think the people you mentioned did not spread your identity. It's just that you were there that day. I saw the space for meditation released on the road to spiritual refining.”

"Good eyesight, most mages probably don't know what it is." Xiao Chen said.

"Although I have done a lot of research on the Seven Sacred Towers, I am not sure that it is the meditation space. But..." Tasia smiled and glanced at Li Jia, "Master Li Jia's excited look helped me confirm this time. Test."

Li Jia's old face turned red and lowered his head.

Xiao Chen patted Li Jia on the shoulder to show that he was okay, and asked: "Then you come to me, what advice do you have?"

"My identity as the heir of the Tower of Dreams alone will not allow me to take the risk of showing up to meet you. However, I heard that you and Mr. Li Jia have helped many magicians decipher difficult magic texts these days. Today I saw you again "Garfield's Travels" is a difficult book to read, so I wanted to meet you." Tasia put the black book on the table and slowly pushed it down in front of Xiao Chen, "I. I would like you to help me read this text.”

It was a leather folder. Xiao Chen opened it and found that there was only a piece of paper inside, with a half-written and half-white Chinese character written in a childish handwriting:

"The original power of the magic system is spread throughout this world. It can be guided by thoughts and achieve all kinds of magic. The runes lead to magic. It seems like a shortcut, but it is actually a trail, and it is also a shackles of practice. Pursuing the art of direct control of the source seems to be far away from the near. , in fact, it goes straight to the essence, almost the avenue.”

Xiao Chen scanned this text and heard a bang in his mind. Can magic power be directly mobilized by mental power? Using a rune structure composed of magic words to cast a spell is not a great way? For a moment, he had some inspiration, but there was too little information, so he failed to capture that moment of thought.

But on the surface, he frowned and said, "Miss Tasia feels that the writing of this text is very different from the usual way of saying it, and there are several rare words that I don't know the pronunciation and meaning of."

Tasia nodded and looked happy: "Can you understand? If you can help me translate these words, I am willing to provide a high reward."

Xiao Chen read the whole text aloud.

"Wait a minute, paper pants, paper Gu, no, shackles. So that's how it's pronounced. And this 'ji' is pronounced as ji, not ji." Tashia changed her previous indifferent expression, and her pale face actually blushed, "You really know much more magic words than us. Can you explain the meaning of this text to me? How much reward do you need? You can ask, gold coins, magic crystals, or magic scrolls, we can discuss it."

Xiao Chen blinked at Li Jia, who shook her head slightly. Sure enough, she was still a little girl, just like him, impatient.

"Ms. Tashia, I can't translate the content at the moment." Xiao Chen said with regret.

"Why, are you afraid that the reward is not enough?"

"Of course not. You know that any text needs to be judged in context. I can see that the content of this text must be related to something that needs to be cultivated. If I can't read the text completely, I dare not make a random translation." Xiao Chen said seriously, "You must know that on the road of magic cultivation, a little deviation and misunderstanding may cost a person's life."

Tashia was obviously a little entangled when she heard this. She took the clip that Xiao Chen handed back to her and sat there hesitating.

Li Jia said at this time: "Miss Tashia, judging from your appearance, you must have spent a lot of effort to interpret this book, and finally found no results elsewhere. It seems that the final translation of this book still depends on our knowledge. However, even if you copy down the text and shuffle it for us to read, we can still understand most of the content based on the logic. In this case, what difference does it make whether you take out the book or not? Hiding it will only increase the risk of misreading it."

"This..." Tashia saw that Xiao Chen and Li Jia's eyes were very sincere, and finally nodded and said: "Okay. I'll bring the book here tomorrow."
