Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 221 The Ins and Outs of Things

creak~

As the last sound of the lock cylinder turning disappeared in the air, a bright light that was different from the weak magic lamp suddenly appeared in the small and dark room.

"Ah? Alina, little Natalie, and Master Ives, why are you here?"

Although he had already guessed the possible visitors when he heard the gender and number of visitors, when he actually faced them, he still couldn't help but burst out in surprise.

"Is this what we want to ask you?"

There was no comfort, no reminiscing about the past, and Alina asked directly.

But soon, she noticed the student's confusion, so she had to quietly explain to the student: "Although it's a bit ruthless, since Natalie is already here, you should listen to me and tell me where this is, right?"

After touching the student's head with relief, Alina successfully calmed the student's emotions and inadvertently gave the other two people behind her a look.

"Ah... yes!"

After hearing that the teacher wanted to introduce, Natalie immediately nodded vigorously before the teacher explained.

"This is a place specially used by the South District to temporarily hold prisoners. Although this place is not mentioned in the textbook, as Natalie saw before coming in, this is indeed a place used by the Administrative Department of the South District to hold special prisoners. A place for people.”

Alina answered.

"But..." Natalie read the teacher's word 'prisoner' in disbelief. Her eyes were very hesitant. In the end, she did not look at the Earth Sage's assistant a few steps away, and then asked her teacher in a low voice. , "But why did Master Malkui become a prisoner? Isn't he a sage assistant?"

"Sage assistants will also make mistakes." Seeing that the students quickly became frustrated again, Alina slowed down her tone again and changed her words, "Of course, under normal circumstances, they rarely make mistakes, but this time, We should first ask Brother Shitou what's going on before we can formally draw a conclusion and decide whether we should continue to trust him in the future."

"Um…"

After silently going over the teacher's words in her mind, Natalie secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, no matter what, she was still a little afraid that the answer she would get after asking would lead to a picture she was not happy to see. She was afraid that the final answer would prove the truth before her. Her friendly sage assistant is really a sinner who deserves to be locked up here.

"Okay, come and tell us the specific ins and outs?"

Without giving Blair any further time to ask, Alina immediately made a silence gesture and looked again at the sage assistant a few steps away.

"Can you let Miss Lifford out?"

Before starting to tell, Blair still reminded him uneasily.

"If you had made such a request in normal times, I would not have interfered, but unfortunately, you are not, so please quietly perform your duties as a prisoner."

Alina unapologetically continues to spell out reality.

"All right…"

Blair finally couldn't resist the expectant glances that fell on him one after another, and talked about his experience in the morning.

……

"Good morning, Mr. Chairman, are you going to meet Mr. Tracy?"

In front of the Earth Sage's office, Blair walked through the stairs and corridors and successfully arrived at the first destination of his plan today.

"Yes."

Blair bowed lightly, then took the initiative and knocked on the door.

"Blair? Please come in." Hearing the careful but very familiar knocks on the door, Earth Sage Vader Tracey raised his voice slightly, straightened his clothes and unlocked the magic restriction on the door. .

"How about it? Are the exhibitions and seminars arranged for today?"

He thoughtfully restored the magic restriction on the door after the other party came in, and said with concern.

"Well, everything is ready. I'm just waiting for the official reply from there."

Although he didn't want to be mentioned about his two major worries, Blair still responded politely with a smile on his face.

"That's good," the Earth Sage nodded lightly with satisfaction. He looked at the heir in front of him for a while and then continued to warn, "Are you busy lately? If you feel burdened, please don't force yourself."

"Well, I know."

Forcibly suppressing the emotion in his heart, Blair nodded gently again.

"Then do you want something to drink? You know, recently Ivan gave me a lot of gadgets that he mixed himself, and the effect is pretty good."

Seeing that the heir was obviously tense, the Earth Sage couldn't help but turn his gaze elsewhere.

Ivan...?
  Repeating the name silently in his mind, Blair silently retracted his somewhat sad expression.

"I do not need it, thank you."

Afraid that the Sage would really put it into practice, Blair waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly declined.

"You don't need to be polite to me. I know that your mental state has not been good recently. I can tell this through observation and just asking."

Being caught off guard and exposed by his teacher, Blair suddenly felt ashamed. After thinking about it for a while, he finally became discouraged.

"If you have time now, can you do me a small favor?"

"Yes, of course."

Although he didn't understand that his teacher suddenly proposed it at this moment, Blair simply agreed without any abnormality.

Then, he waited for him to find the teacher's favorite from the nearest tea list as instructed, and mixed it according to the process.

All of this was so normal that he couldn't believe that the moment he went to make tea, the Earth Sage passed out on the chair in the reception room.

……

"That's probably what happened. I'm useless, little Natalie. I promised to take you on a tour of our Southern Soil District, but I've delayed your trip because of something like this. I'm really sorry!"

Blair sighed and finished talking about his experience in the morning, then avoided the little girl's gaze with evasive eyes, and said in frustration.

"No, no, no, Mr. Malkui, please don't say that. You can come back to travel again, but you..."

At this point, Natalie did not continue. She looked at Blair with a complicated expression and then lowered her head again. After hesitating for a while, she finally said, "The Mr. Malkui in my impression is not such a weak person. Eden Village You all think so too, so I simply don’t believe you would do something like that!”

"Thank you, little Natalie. It's just that many times, things cannot be resolved by whether you believe it or not. I don't have enough evidence to get rid of the suspicion, and even if it is determined that I did not do it, what can I do in my current state?"

"Then go and find the evidence!" Natalie paused, as if she had made up her mind, and said resolutely, "I will work with Teacher Alina, Master Haitang, and Miss Guide to help you find evidence to prove yourself. !”
