Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 1329 Alina’s waiting goal and Sallysette’s concerns
  【what happened? The dinner party doesn’t start at 6pm, so why are so many people gathering now...]

Natalie whispered nervously and doubtfully in her heart.

She subconsciously planned to try her best to move forward to understand the ins and outs of the matter, but the huge dress under her feet helplessly hindered her progress.

[Would you like to use ‘sound transmission’ to check the previous situation? 】

She did what she thought of and first checked to see if anyone in the surrounding crowd was paying attention to her existence. Only then did she carefully gather a certain amount of magic elements.

Although she wears a low-level magic restriction bracelet on her wrist for temporary restriction, this level of restriction is not enough to affect the magic elements required for her to gather low-level magic.

Just as she thought, the [Voice Transmission] magic quickly took shape, and conversations from the front of the crowd began to reach her ears one after another:

"What do you mean, why did this temporary change happen again?"

"Let's forget about riding in the carriage together. Why should we separate Rosalia and me? No, I don't agree, I never agree!"

"Look at the good things you have done. It would have been fine if you had just followed the arrangements of previous years. But now, I can't help you."

……

Conversations with different emotional stances came to Natalie's ears one after another, causing Natalie to fall into confusion for a short time.

After patiently analyzing it for a long time, Natalie finally figured out the general story of what happened.

It turned out that after most of the banquet participants arrived at the banquet site, the banquet organizer unfortunately discovered that the banquet auxiliary magic arranged in the banquet hall of his mansion could not support the existence of so many people. But now, it was obviously too late to temporarily hire a banquet arranger of quasi-Grand Mage level. Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the entire banquet, the banquet organizer could only send a butler to notify all attendees, hoping to open an additional auxiliary venue downstairs of the main banquet hall to accommodate today's participants.

In this regard, although Natalie had some sympathy for the Gloria family, which was hosting such a continent-wide banquet for the first time, she was more confused than sympathetic.

After all, the Gloria family, as the organizers of the banquet, should have known about the number of people present at the banquet. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible and should not make such a mistake.

But if it was not a normal situation, then why didn't the Gloria family take the initiative to inform everyone before the personnel arrived at the scene?
  Natalie believed that there must be some strange factor in this, but as she had little understanding of the Gloria family and the banquet customs of the Water North District, she could not find a suitable breakthrough at all.

If she had to believe it, she felt that the reason for the reputation of the nobles in the North Water District that Kaya mentioned to her before was quite possible.

First of all, whether it was Ives whom she first met, Claude and Theresa who were later introduced to her through Ives and her teacher, or Kaya who had just requested her not long ago, they all cared about her very much. The external reputation of oneself or one's family.

Therefore, the Gloria family, who are also nobles, should not deviate too much from this concept.

If this was the case, Natalie suddenly found that it was not so difficult for her to understand the Gloria family's behavior of temporarily changing the venue of the banquet.

However, she understands that she, like most people present, is somewhat unable to accept this temporary change, especially when many participants are accompanied by their own companions. In this regard, even if there is a voluntary The premise is that in the end, there must be many people who are forced to go to another venue due to reality...    Just when she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt two taps on her shoulders.

【who? ! 】

Trying to control the urge to blurt out her words, Natalie turned around nervously, and happened to see the young lady from the Hugeta family whom she had met during the Cornelia rescue operation.

"Hello, is this Natalie, Miss Natalie Arinor?"

The young lady from the Sugar Tower family distanced herself and asked in a very carefully lowered voice.

"Yes, please ask Miss Hugeta, do you have anything to do with me?"

Natalie nodded, but with the experience and lessons learned from Kaya's previous request, she was careful not to show her friendliness too much, and simply answered in a relatively cold voice.

"It's like this. Because the family attaches great importance to this dinner, I arrived a little late. Can you please tell me what happened before? I just arrived, and I found that the entire dinner scene was very serious. It was like there was an emergency..."

Rehana of the Sugarta family asked her question anxiously but carefully.

"I'm sorry, I was called by Miss Kaya to chat for a while. When I came back, it was already like this..."

Natalie answered equally carefully to the noble lady from the small family in front of her.

For her, it was not that she couldn't understand the young lady's desire to know the details, but as shown in her answer, she herself was unable to determine certain things. Assuming that she really regarded those things as not true and Telling the other party speculations that lack substantial basis will inevitably cause unavoidable troubles for both parties.

As for what she overheard, she couldn't share it with the lady in front of her, because in her opinion, the Gloria family, as the host of the banquet, would not like someone using magic to 'eavesdrop' on those very negative things. News, and if you share that news, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction on the other side.

This is not conducive to the follow-up tasks assigned to her by Salister.

Therefore, she quickly thought about how to convince the young lady in front of her, and she immediately told the young lady in front of her that she was equally confused and curious after returning, but because her position was too far back.

"I understand, then I'll ask others. Thank you very much for telling me this."

After thanking Natalie with an elegant salute, the lady from the Hugeta family immediately stood up and left, heading towards the center where the crowd was denser.

Looking at the back of the young lady leaving in a hurry but barely maintaining due etiquette, Natalie, who had just managed to escape some trouble for herself, suddenly remembered that besides the young lady in front of her, two other people had already asked her to inquire. Information about the dinner party.

Although the questions asked by the two of them were not particularly critical or important, Natalie, who was already alert, could no longer look at the departure of the troublemakers as relaxedly as before...
