Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 302 ·Prologue
  A long time ago, in the small town of Selia in the Southern District of the Earth, there was a lake that could reflect the truest side of people's hearts. At the bottom of the lake, there was a mysterious passage that was said to lead to other worlds and other countries.

In order to pursue this road that symbolizes rebirth, people do not hesitate to drive away underwater creatures and drain lakes in an attempt to keep this mysterious road to rebirth in the world forever.

However, after they tried their best to drive away all underwater creatures and drain the lake, they only found a bottomless dilapidated path. And the path that is said to lead to another world has neither flowers and gems that symbolize rebirth and hope, nor hospitable water elves. Instead, it is just filled with countless corpses and skulls, as well as large bloody monsters. An ancient altar that looks like a ritual scene...

Nowadays, although all of this has been sealed by the sages of the past, people's fear and fear are still there, and they are passed down from generation to generation.

In order to combat this emotion and to repent for the mistakes committed by the ancestors, the mayor at the time, under the initiative of the Earth Sage, created a unique custom called the Redemption Sacrifice. In this city-wide sacrificial event called the 'Redemption Sacrifice', people slaughtered animals, burned herbs, confessed themselves, and worshiped the sealed lake and the martyrs who died here to save the town. Guys, this is the origin of the "Redemption Sacrifice" in the small town of Selia.

……

"Oh, Redemption Sacrifice, that's a really nice name."

With a crisp "snap" sound, a broad and powerful hand closed the book with the parchment in it without any warning.

Outside the window, there was the noise of children laughing and cursing in Selia Town, coupled with the sounds of adults busy talking in preparation for next week's "Redemption Ceremony", it seemed so lively and full of life.

However, unlike the bustle and hustle and bustle of the streets outside the window, there was a dead silence inside the house. Except for the magic lamp that barely maintained part of the light in the room, the rest of the place was dark and there was no sound.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time passed, there was a clear and rhythmic knock on the door of the hotel room.

"Which one?"

The guest in this room, a dark-haired man who looked quite pale and had a very gloomy temperament, but whose hair was neatly taken care of, suddenly opened his eyes, cleared his throat slightly, and responded to the voice on the other side of the door. knocking.

"It's me, Lord Mason."

Sensing the response from the other side, the visitor outside the door, a man who also had thick black hair and a less gloomy temperament, immediately stopped knocking on the door, took a few steps back humbly, and further waited for the person in the room to come. instructions.

"come in."

After a while, the resident named Mason in the room responded.

So, without any hesitation, the visitor outside the door immediately turned the door handle, opened the door quickly and entered the hotel room.

"Do you need to turn on the light?"

Feeling the twist of the door handle, the resident in the house, Julian Mason, changed his sitting position slightly, then formally raised his head and asked the visitor at the door with concern.

"No need, just follow your habits."

The visitor bowed in a standard manner, then shook his head slightly.

"Conrad and Helen's operation failed?"

There were no pleasantries, and no tea was prepared. After confirming the identity of the visitor, Mason immediately went straight to the topic.

However, just these words also made the visitor show an expression of obvious astonishment.

"Yes." But when he thought about the true identity of the person in front of him, the visitor was not so surprised that the other party knew about Conrad's death so quickly.

Thinking this way, the visitor adjusted his mood again, and responded in the affirmative with a calm tone but humility enough.

"It doesn't matter, let's leave it as it is. Our main goal has been achieved anyway."

However, to the visitor's surprise, the magician in front of him did not criticize him harshly, and did not even show any unnecessary emotional ups and downs.

"Then Conrad..."

The visitor was about to subconsciously ask the other party whether he planned to recall Conrad's soul again. When the words came to his lips, he realized from the calm words of the other party that his inquiry was inappropriate, so he stopped himself abruptly. follow-up words.

"No need. After all, in that state, even the soul may not be able to escape." Without commenting too much on Conrad's final outcome, Mason immediately changed the subject and said, "How about it? Your city lord has a reply. Yet?"

"She said that if you are willing to cooperate, she will provide you with the best experimental environment. It doesn't matter if you have the best bargaining chips before. What she values ​​​​is your talent, not immediate interests."

Recalling the news that came from Ister City not long ago, the visitor conveyed the words of his leader accurately.

"Well, after I finish digesting this harvest, I will leave here immediately. You can contact me according to the previously agreed contact information." Looking back at the visitors behind him, Mason smiled and nodded, thinking After thinking for a while, he finally added with some worry, "In addition, I have recently remembered to ask people to pay attention to the movements here. I believe that Master Feng Zilan will soon arrange for informants to catch up here."

"Okay, I understand, I will arrange things."

The visitor hurriedly agreed. Although he was a little confused as to why the other party was so sure that Lady Suzuran would discover the clues to the 'Language of Silence', he clearly remembered the responsibilities of a low-level waiter and gave up the idea of ​​asking more questions. .

Then, there was a period of silence again in this dark and silent hotel room.

"Is there anything else?"

After waiting quietly for a while, seeing that the visitor at the door seemed to have nothing else to report, Mason simply had the idea of ​​ending the topic.

"No more, Master Mason."

After carefully recalling all the matters he was told this time and confirming that he had not missed anything, the visitor responded with confidence, and in response, he shook his head humbly.

"Okay, then you can leave first. If anything happens, I will contact you through that special contact channel."

After saying that, without waiting for the visitor to say anything else, Mason used the magic installed in the room to close the door and cut off all contact with the outside world.

The visitor who suddenly visited the hotel completely lost all traces of his existence after Mason cut off contact. No matter whether it is the room where Mason is located or the soft carpeted corridor of the hotel, there is no trace of his coming, as if he has never been there...
