Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 298 Unexpected back-up

Did it fail...?
  Looking at the vast and empty environment in front of him, Blair's heart skipped a beat. Almost at the same time, he heard the suppressed sobs of Lilicia beside him who were extremely forbearing but could not hide her sadness...

"sorry Sorry sorry…"

Although he knew it was too late to say this now, Blair could not stop blaming himself. He could only use this method of constant apologies to relieve his mind, which was dominated by sadness and guilt.

At this moment, he seemed to have personally experienced the pain he felt when the teacher failed to solve the village incident perfectly and faced the tombstones 8 years ago.

I also said that I should come up with the best of both worlds to solve the problem. I also said that I should make changes, formally respond to little Natalie and everyone’s expectations, and be a competent sage and assistant...

Isn't it possible that none of this can be achieved...

Do not!
  Do not!
  Do not!
  Is there any other way? Even if there is no hope, try it!

Thinking like this, Blair hurriedly rushed to the address that originally belonged to the 'Feast of Thoughts' mansion, intending to investigate the remaining traces of magical elements.

However, at this moment, three figures came out from his side. One of them, under the guidance of the man in the middle, slowly stepped forward and stopped behind the assistant of the Earth Sage. , then cautiously reached out his hand and poked the shoulder of the person in front of him.

Who!
  Feeling the movement behind him, Blair quickly suppressed the sad expression on his face, raised his hand resolutely but could not hide his sadness, and planned to directly take action to make the person behind him lose the ability to resist if something went wrong.

"Ah! It's me... Lord Mallow, it's me..."

Behind Blair Clark of the Earth Mallow, Natalie, who had been unable to find her whereabouts before, nervously withdrew her hand and looked at the teacher on the other side from time to time.

Unexpectedly, before she could find the answer to the current situation from the teacher's face, she felt that her body was enveloped by a thick force...

"That's great, little Natalie, it's great that you're okay..."

Along with this, her ears echoed with Blair's whispers as he tried his best to suppress his tears of joy.

Yes, even though he still had many things he hadn't figured out, Blair was still completely distracted by this joy that fell from the sky.

He actually already had a vague answer to the current situation. But he doesn't want to pursue these issues now. He just wants to vent his emotions and find a quiet place to ask the girl in his arms how to get out of trouble.

Unfortunately, everything backfired. Before he could further inquire about Natalie's events in the 'Feast of Thoughts', Alina's clear clapping not far away ruthlessly disrupted his subsequent plans.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Since Conrad is dead and the two hostages have been successfully rescued, should we pack up and return?"

After successfully attracting the attention of several people present, Alina immediately came to the center of the open space and used the [sound transmission] magic to convey her suggestions.

"Yes, it's already so late now. If I don't go back, I'm worried that my parents won't let me in..."

Although she also had a lot of things to ask Natalie, when she thought of Blair's failed magic before, Lilicia couldn't help but feel angry and wished she could take Natalie away from this useless sage assistant as soon as possible.

So, when Lady Suzuran raised her head, she followed suit. Not only that, she also winked at Natalie and Blair from time to time, urging them to end the communication as soon as possible.

"Then let's see you tomorrow. It's really late now, Lord Malvai..." Noticing the secret signal given by Lilicia not far away, Natalie finally felt embarrassed to let her friend wait, so after thinking about it, she found a The right time ended the secret communication with Brother Shitou.

She said she was exchanging thoughts, but Natalie knew very well that she didn't do anything. Especially after learning that she was imprisoned by Conrad, she was even more frightened and did not dare to move around at will. This is a habit she has developed since she was a child, and it is also something her teacher has told her many times.

"So you didn't do anything, and then when you opened your eyes again, you were on a mountain outside Nome City?"

Before Natalie could completely walk away, Blair hurriedly seized the opportunity and confirmed with Natalie again.

"Yes, it is…"

Looking at the disbelieving and curious eyes of Master Earth Mallow in front of her, Natalie felt a little afraid of such eyes for some reason. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded his head in a small and pragmatic manner.

"That's it. Thank you for informing me, little Natalie." Holding back the slight regret in his heart, Blair nodded lightly with understanding, then looked at Alina without hesitation and asked loudly, "Yes You did it, do you really not trust me that much?"

"It's very late now. If you don't want to bear the wrath of Lilicia's parents tomorrow, then I suggest you leave all your questions until tomorrow."

Alina thought for a while, and finally suppressed her desire to take the opportunity to play a little prank. Instead, she considered the feelings of the two young girls and decided to send them home first.

"Okay, I didn't think well. Let's send Lily home now. I remember..."

Realizing Alina's intention, Blair simply gave up asking here and started thinking about the other party's home address.

"It doesn't matter. I know the address. Just follow me."

Without giving Blair a chance to complete the address, Lilicia, who overheard the other party's secret murmurs through [Voice Transmission] magic, hurriedly refused and took the initiative to act as a guide.

"That…"

Seeing the girl's determined look, Blair finally did not refuse, but instead took the initiative to propose other things.

"No need, I'm very confident in my memory."

However, just like the previous situation, before Blair could say anything else, Lilicia rejected his proposal with a decisive tone.

This time, without Alina's reminder, Blair also noticed something strange about Lilicia.

what happened?

Is she still angry because of what happened just now?

However, shouldn’t Alina also have a share of responsibility for this matter? Why is Lily only angry with me?
  The more Blair thought about it, the more he felt unbalanced. After a brief hesitation, he finally stood up, recalling the stern tone in which he taught the other party before and stopped him: "Alina, stop, why did you do that? Explain to me. !”
