Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 224 The meaning of determination (Part )
  "what…"

Blair, who had just fallen asleep, woke up suddenly when she sensed the stranger's approach. However, before the sound could reach the outside world, it was blocked in the throat by an inexplicable strong force.

"Shh, it's me, don't talk yet."

At the same time, a voice that was very familiar to him, but deliberately lowered, suddenly came to his ears.

"Okay, now you can talk."

A few seconds later, seeing the other person slowly retracting his hand that blocked him from speaking, Blair seemed to be suddenly released after suppressing it for a long time, and loudly reprimanded the long-haired woman who suddenly appeared next to him: "Alina, You are 24 years old this year, so stop being so keen on pranks, okay!"

"not good."

Alina objected righteously.

"But I was almost scared to death by you, you know? Besides, if you sneak in like this, what if someone else discovers you?"

Seeing the other party's indifferent and indifferent look, Blair couldn't help but feel an even bigger headache and scratched his hair out of habit.

"Don't worry, I won't be discovered."

Still ignoring the well-intentioned reminders of the people in front of her, Alina answered confidently and went her own way.

"Are you sure? Each guard room here is equipped with special barrier magic. As long as there is a slight fluctuation in magic power, the guard responsible for the night will soon notice it and rush over to deal with the abnormality."

But Blair seemed quite suspicious. While helping to alert the surrounding environment, he continued to remind him persistently.

"Then wouldn't it be enough to control the intensity of the magic power so that they don't notice it?"

Looking at the serious-looking young man in front of her with confusion, Alina helplessly asked a rhetorical question.

"But then you..."

Blair was about to blurt out and ask the other party how to maintain large-scale [sound isolation] magic. At this moment, the leader of the sage assistant who did not follow common sense took out a silver-white card with a simple magic circle engraved on the back. Cards, start playing.

So he had to change his words in a hurry: "So, cards can help you avoid these troubles?"

"Yes." Seeing that the assistant of the Earth Sage understood the answer to the question in just a short period of time, Alina changed her attitude slightly and explained in more detail: "For those of us [Card] As far as the successors are concerned, activating the card does not require much magic power, so there is no such thing as being discovered by the guardian due to magic power fluctuations."

Carefully asking the other party to take out a card again for some testing and confirmation, Blair finally felt relieved. He sat back on the bed again and asked in a long and gentle tone: "So what are you doing here tonight? In the afternoon I have already told you what I should tell you, so what..."

"No, you didn't." Without giving the Earth Sage's assistant time to be surprised, Alina immediately took two steps forward and added in a low voice, "Your superficial reasons can be hidden from Natalie and Ives. , but you can’t hide it from me. So, I want to know the real reason, can you tell me?”

"Sorry, Alina, you don't deserve to know more of the truth."

Unexpectedly, the other party poked at the core of the problem. Blair's heart trembled, and he seemed dazed for a moment, and his expression immediately turned serious.

"Oh?"

Seeing the other party's rare decisive look, Alina couldn't help but curl her lips with interest and uttered a word of question. "No, Alina, I'm serious." Noticing the eager and curious smile, Blair held his forehead with a headache and emphasized again seriously, "Don't ask about what happened in the afternoon. Really, if you know, you They will also target you!"

"Target?" She deliberately slowed down her speech and repeated the other party's words. Instead of putting away the interested smile on her face, Alina deepened her smile, "I have been targeted by many people because of the card matter. You’ve been targeted, are you afraid of one more person?”

"But Alina, you should know better than me that many things will not be solved by making them public. On the contrary, I think they are hoping that we will make things public at this time."

Seeing that the other party still refused to listen to the advice, Blair couldn't help but go crazy again and couldn't help but emphasize it one more time.

"But do you want Natalie to continue to worry about you? You should have noticed before that she is very worried about you."

One sentence, hitting the nail on the head, made Blairburn's still somewhat firm heart uncontrollably shaken.

"Really? Natalie is not usually a person who takes the initiative to ask for help, so even she can't stand it. What qualifications do you, Mr. Malkui, have to ask me? I'm right. Right, Mr. Blair?"

"But if you know about this matter, it will be very dangerous. I can't involve you in such a dangerous thing because of my personal reasons!"

Without answering the matter itself, Blair still looked determined and resigned to death.

"Determination is not just what you say, brother Shitou."

Ignoring the other party's decisive expression, Alina continued to emphasize without sparing any effort.

"Ah, what do you mean, why is determination involved again?"

Blair became increasingly confused and hurriedly asked.

"Because if you are truly determined not to involve us, you should have refused when Natalie offered to help you. So, in my opinion, you don't want us to be involved now. Determination is not as convincing as Natalie's short sentence at that time."

Not paying attention to the hesitant expression on the face of the Earth Sage's assistant, Alina once again opened the distance between them after speaking, strengthening the barrier between them.

"I see."

After a period of silence that was not too long, Blair, who was hesitant to speak, still looked dissatisfied and worried, but he also lost the stubbornness of denying everything Alina said just now.

"Then, shouldn't we confess more detailed information?" Looking at the assistant of the Earth Sage who was still hesitant in front of her, Alina nodded lightly with satisfaction, and then, as if to push the other party to confess further, she hurriedly Increase the chips in your hand, "You can't bear to let a little girl who believes in you go away disappointed, right?"

"Okay, I said that's it!"

Recalling the way the little girl carefully apologized after making up her mind, Blair sighed helplessly, and finally agreed with mixed emotions.

"Well, in that case, please tell me the part that you have concealed before."

Seeing that the other party agreed, Alina nodded in affirmation, and at the same time drew a meaningful smile on her lips, waiting for the more complicated and confusing truth to follow...
