Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 286 The real reason for the hesitation of all parties ()
  Hey, are you talking to Mr. Conard?
  But I didn't find any trace of his presence nearby. When did he come?
  Natalie looked around in confusion, but could not find any trace of the corresponding person.

Unexpectedly, before she could think of the reason, a deep voice suddenly sounded in her mind, as if she was trying to suppress some emotion: "Well, long time no see."

this voice...

Although it was not a familiarity, let alone an understanding of Conard, Natalie somehow had an intuition at this time that this belonged to Theodore Conard.

Contacting the diaries she saw earlier, she suddenly had a guess, that is, Conrad would try every means to prevent Brother Stone from visiting the Sage of the Earth.

What should I do? Do I want to stop it? However, what can I do as I am not even a junior magician? Not to mention whether I can prevent success, it should be difficult even if I can distract them.

So, am I going to watch this tragedy happen?

No, no!

After a brief psychological struggle, Natalie finally plucked up the courage and raised her hand gently, ready to gather the wind elements around her if something went wrong and cast [Breath of Wind] magic to delay the possible conflict.

However, as soon as this idea was put into practice, she felt that the scenery around her suddenly became very far away, as if she had gone in another direction.

Hey, what's going on? I didn't leave. Why...

At this time, the scene jumped again. The scenery around her had been replaced by a field full of wheat, rye, soybeans and other crops. From time to time, there were also waves of breeze rich in the smell of soil blowing around. Her face felt very comfortable, and she couldn't help but feel like opening her arms, stretching her body, and embracing nature.

"Ugh…"

But before such an idea could become a reality, a deep and long sigh, as if it had spanned a long time, took the lead in bringing him back from his previous relaxed state.

Who, why are you sighing, and the tone still sounds so sad?
  A series of questions quickly swirled in Natalie's mind, causing her to quickly restrain her undue relaxation and cast her gaze in the direction of the source of the sound.

I saw that the owner of the sigh just now was an old man with completely white hair, a slim figure, and a dark brown complexion that seemed to be filled with the breath of the earth, so his whole person had a strong sense of vicissitudes and heaviness.

No need to think too much, with such a temperament and such obvious appearance characteristics of the Southern District of the Earth, the only person she could think of and identify with was the Earth Sage Lord Vader Tracey, who symbolizes the highest authority of earth magic in the world today.

So, why did he sigh? Who was he disappointed in?

Natalie secretly made guesses in her heart, and at the same time listened more carefully to the subsequent conversation.

"Teacher, are you here?"

After a while, Conrad's voice of uncontrollable joy and surprise suddenly sounded in her ears. here we go again?
  Natalie couldn't help but feel doubts again.

But what was different from the previous two times was that after the previous two experiences, she seemed to understand her current situation a little bit, one standing from Conrad's perspective, a bystander who could only witness the development of things.

Yes, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have touched the crystal ball handed over by Conrad before coming to these places, so was she now in the magic of the crystal ball?
  The next moment, as if her thoughts were confirmed, the surrounding environment suddenly fell apart with a crash. When she opened her eyes again, there were no fields full of various crops around, and there was no fresh air. The soil-scented air only contains the smiling gaze of a black-haired man, and the round crystal ball in front of him that is somewhat clear and reflects the brilliance under the light of the crystal chandelier...

"It seems that it is your first time to experience this kind of [memory reappearance] magic. Interrupting the memory process casually like this is not a good start, Miss Arinor."

Conard tapped the table in front of him with his knuckles, and while calming down the restless magical energy in the crystal ball on the table, he gave himself a reminder in a gentle but not friendly tone.

"Sorry…"

Although she still didn't know exactly what mistake she had made, and felt the obvious blame contained in the other party's words, Natalie lowered her head with a guilty conscience and made a serious apology and reflection.

"Although I'm not your teacher, I still want to say something." Without waiting for the girl opposite to react, Conrad quickly stopped the gentle and friendly smile he pretended to have, his expression was sinister, and he went his own way. “A lot of times apologizing doesn’t solve the problem, especially if it serves as a shield for your ignorance.”

Natalie couldn't help but tremble, and subconsciously wanted to apologize again, but in the wake of the second half of the words, she could only swallow the subsequent words of apology and buried her head lower.

"Forget it, if we really want to raise issues, I might not be able to finish talking about your problems in a day or a night, so," Conard suppressed his desire to further uncover the girl's various wrong habits and immediately restrained his expression of dissatisfaction. , smiled again and suggested, "So, let's start our dinner directly."

"Eh…!"

Natalie couldn't help but voiced surprise again at this development that was far beyond her expectation.

However, the surprise did not last long on her face. She looked at Conrad with a determined expression and asked: "I want to understand those things. I want to find out what makes everyone so happy." I don’t dare to leave here, so please let me continue to understand that past, please!”

"Put your hand on the crystal ball again, and this time be careful not to put your attention where it shouldn't be."

After saying this, regardless of whether Natalie could understand it or not, he directly filled Natalie with the magic power needed to activate the crystal ball's [Memory Reappearance] magic, allowing Natalie to enter from the perspective of a witness again. That part of his past.

So, after a burst of bright light appeared and disappeared, Natalie once again saw the field filled with various crops, and saw the Sage of the Earth standing on the path a few steps away from him.

"Yes, I hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to come," the Earth Sage first replied with an unnecessary nonsense, then closed his eyes hard as if he had made up his mind, and then said seriously, "Kang Nader, actually our earth magic is not suitable for adaptation..."

　Sorry, something happened tonight, and I almost forgot to update the first chapter, which is belatedly updated. There will be another chapter later ~
