About This Novel
Language is magic, translation is betrayal. In the 1820s, the plague swept through Guangzhou, and the boy Robin's family died tragically. However, he escaped from death. The mysterious Professor Lovell came to the rescue and took him to the other side of the ocean to London, England, where he was trained as an adult, just to make him qualified to study in the Tower of Babel. The Tower of Babel is the translation center of this world and the center of magic. The tower's polyglot scholars made magic work with the help of translators. Translation cannot be perfect, so meanings that are lost or distorted in the translation process are captured and revealed by the silver bars. Engraved silver bars were the source of imperial power, making the British fleet invincible, spurring the birth of the Silver Industrial Revolution, and helping Britain capture the world's silver. As the study progresses, Robin becomes addicted to the magic of translation, but does not know that he and his companions are about to be involved in a conspiracy that has been brewing for a long time... Disappeared students, mysterious societies, when malice, jealousy, greed and violence fill this tower of ideals, they must make a choice whether to be loyal to their mother tongue and homeland, or to continue to live in a foreign country.

There are no cowards in the space base, and the Tower of Babel does not believe in tears.
The text is easy to understand, straightforward, easy to understand, and does not burn your brain.
