Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 163 The past and the first night of escape

The letter ended here. At this moment, Qiaoceline seemed to understand many things that she had never understood before, but at this moment, she would rather not understand anything.

"Are you really going to the Southern District of Earth next?"

After a long period of silence, Qiaoceline sniffed hard, raised her head again, took out the pitch-black pistol with the words New Year's gift on the outline, held it in her hand, and asked quietly.

"Yes, there is the headquarters of Sky Scholars there. With the recommendation letters from Sky Witnesses and the notes left by my father, I believe we can still be accepted by them."

"Sky Witness?"

Qiaoceline asked with some confusion and wariness.

"The leader of the Sky Scholars." Rigel said without thinking with eager eyes, but then he remembered that his good friend didn't know about his communication with the organization over the years, so he added nonchalantly, "It's my father who A friend helped me apply for it, and of course, your share is included."

"My..." Qiaoceline chewed her partner's words carefully, and after confirming that she heard correctly, she asked anxiously, "But I am not a preliminary member of your school, is this okay? And when the time comes, My affairs may be in trouble."

"It doesn't matter. Even if you are not one of us now, as long as you have a recommendation letter from the witness, they will be happy to help you. This is what my father's friend told me."

After being reminded by his partner, Rigel realized belatedly that he had ignored his partner's opinion again, so he quickly waved his hand and made amends.

"Then how should we go to the southern area of ​​​​the soil next? If we are heading to the area where the teleportation magic circle is located in the city, it should be difficult for the two of us alone to avoid those chasing soldiers and enter the magic circle first..."

Faced with her partner's enthusiasm, Qiaoceline moved her lips slightly, but in the end she still did not express all the doubts in her heart, and instead thought about the current situation between the two of them and possible solutions.

"If we can't secretly go to a specific teleportation area, then we will find another plan and use the teleportation magic circle that I copied in advance to leave."

After saying that, Rigel happily took out a scroll from his large cloak, spread it out and displayed it with some pride and confidence.

"it is good."

Qiaocelin nodded lightly, then pretended to be calm and retracted her gaze that was fixed on the complicated scroll, relieved some of her doubts, and continued to ask, "Then what are our plans next? Are we going to stay here? Or get out from here?”

"Stay here." Rigel recalled what he had been told by the Liford family a few days ago, and then added with certainty, "It's okay, I have cut off the area around us from the Liford family's land. Contact. Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to find this place so quickly."

"It's rare to see you so confident today. Is there any reason for this?"

Hearing her partner's confident words that were different from usual, Qiaoceline couldn't help but feel surprised, so she subconsciously asked for an explanation. "The reason?" Rigel smiled sheepishly, and then took the initiative to explain very frankly, "Actually, it was your father who made us choose to stay here tonight. He thought that although traveling all night would be a good idea, We have to use foreign objects to cover our whereabouts, but this also has a lot of hidden dangers. After all, we cannot use our mental state to face all the risks that may come next, so if there is still plenty of time, we should stay Here, until a new turning point comes.”

Father...?
  Qiaoceline felt mixed again and quickly scanned the expressions of her companions not far away. In the end, she didn't say anything, so she quietly found a small corner and squatted down.

"If you are not used to such a resting environment, I also have a magic scroll here that records the ability to temporarily feel everything in the outside world. As long as it is filled with magic power, this magic can appear."

Catching the hesitant look in his friend's eyes, Rigel struggled for a moment, but finally firmly took out a scroll from his cloak again and suggested.

"No, no need. I think such an important thing should be used at a more critical time."

Yes, from today on, she is no longer the little girl who was surrounded by many servants and could study carefree. All difficulties can only be faced by oneself, and one cannot seek help from others for a long time.

She had also thought about whether she should run out of here and confess everything to those who were chasing her? But soon, her rational intuition stopped her. After all, her father would have tried to confess if he could. Since the father did not choose to compromise, it proves that compromise is not a good choice.

But is running around like this a good choice? No, definitely not. But now there is no other option. In order to preserve the last hope of the Lifford family and for my father's last wish, I think I must work hard to hide and escape.

Thinking of this, Qiaocelin's still somewhat wavering heart suddenly became firmer. As for whether he should follow Rigel to join the organization called Sky Scholars in the future, whether he should follow his father's arrangements and start a new life in the Southern District of the Earth, these are not issues that should be considered now.

These can indeed be a way out, but they are not the only ones. So, if possible, I still have to make my own choice in the future. It's not that I don't believe Rigel, but there are too many doubts about this organization. It's hard for me to guarantee that after joining them, they won't have other ideas about what happened to me, and it's also hard to guarantee that someone there won't expose my past and make all my efforts come to nothing.

And their leader, I don’t know why, but this title always gives me a sense of familiarity. Did my father accidentally mention it during a chat, or did he learn about it from other places. If I really can only join them in the future, then before that, I must convince Rigel to find out the basic information about this leader and this organization.

Time passed like this little by little in Qiaoceline's intermittent thinking. There was silence all around, and silence soon became the main theme here.

Finally, after an unknown length of silence, a voice from Rigel suddenly rang out in the quiet environment:
  "It's okay. Although I can't guarantee that our next journey will go smoothly, I will try my best to fulfill the agreement with the head of the Liford family. This is not only for you, but also for myself."

After saying that, Rigel also found a corner and sat down, forcing himself to close his eyes and take a short rest...

　Well, I saw it clearly tonight, and the wrong paper was sent!
