Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 318 The town of Selia before the festival and the first day of sightseeing (Part )

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Morris."

Ives stepped out of the carriage first, with a polite and reserved smile, and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"It would be my pleasure, Master Maxwell."

The middle-aged man Morris was stunned for a moment, and then he was flattered and carefully shook the other person's hand. After the handshake was over, he added an additional polite gentleman's greeting.

"Okay, since Avis has already come out to say hello, let's get down quickly."

Seeing the young man's thoughtfulness, Alina nodded gently with satisfaction, then looked to the curious and nervous students beside her for advice.

"Ok!"

Finding that her teacher and Master Haitang didn't say anything, Natalie hurriedly put away the sudden feeling of disobedience and retracted her gaze that briefly stayed behind the carriage.

"Natalie, what's wrong? Is there anything behind our carriage?"

Although she had already noticed the clues in Nome City, Alina still tacitly agreed not to expose it. Instead, she pretended to be confused and looked at the students again, asking doubtfully.

"No, it's nothing..."

Looking back at the place where the carriage stopped uneasily once again to make sure that she didn't find anything strange, Natalie quickly gathered her thoughts and quickly kept up with the pace of the teacher and Master Haitang.

"Please allow me to introduce you. This is the blessing door responsible for the daily life in the small town of Celia. Although it is rarely used, considering the imminence of the redemption ceremony, the mayor decided to temporarily open this door for tourists. They pass."

After all the guests in the carriage got off the carriage one by one, the middle-aged man named Morris followed the butler's instructions, pointed to the rather retro-style door in front, and introduced warmly to the three people behind him. road.

"Senior, there are traces of magic on this."

After he was a few steps away from the guide in front of him, Ives immediately stopped briefly based on the field of knowledge he was involved in and gently reminded the blond woman on his right.

"It's not something to worry about."

Unexpectedly, Alina only responded lightly and did not seem to think that this was something that required vigilance.

But Ives doesn't think so. Not to mention that ordinary small towns will not build such a door to distinguish tourists from aborigines. Just talk about the sense of age presented by this bronze door and the carvings on the door. The complex magic symbols are enough to show that this door and even the entire town of Selia are not simple.

Did Suzuran-senpai confirm in advance that there was no problem, or did she pretend not to care in front of countless pedestrians?
  As for the possibility that the other party didn't notice the problem at all, he didn't include him in the list of guesses.

After all, even if he, a senior magician, could notice the details, there was no reason why this quasi-great magician, who was far more intelligent and experienced than him, could not notice them.

He had an expectation in his heart that the other party had checked the door and confirmed that it was OK. But for some reason, he had an intuition, an intuition that the answer was more towards the latter.

With such thoughts in mind, Ives, who had already passed through the bronze door, couldn't help but take another look at the door behind him. He didn't want to see it like this, but it made him freeze on the spot for an instant.

He found that the magic symbols on the door lit up strangely. Not only that, he also had the illusion that he and others seemed to be getting further and further away from the outside world, as if they had entered another space under the influence of this door. , a mysterious space that does not belong to the Olivia continent but overlaps with the current era.

"Don't worry about it. Since Lord Tracy has acquiesced to its existence, then I think we have no position to interfere in the affairs of the Southern District of the Earth." Seeing that the young man's expression was still a little solemn, Alina also stopped quickly and said, He lowered his head and searched for items in his bag, while quietly letting the [Voice Transmission] magic pass his warning to the young man behind him.

"So which possibility do you think it is, a possibility that is not very harmful, or," Ives took a deep breath, then opened his eyes with a decisive expression and continued, "a possibility that none of us can involve."

I originally wanted to use an expression that corresponded to the first half of the sentence for the last wording, but considering that they were still too close to the door and that they were still in the center of the whirlpool, Ives modified the wording quite carefully. I chose a relatively soft expression that would not intensify potentially dangerous contradictions.

"the latter."

After saying this, Avis could clearly feel his body shaking uncontrollably.

"But you don't need to be too nervous. If Celia Town is really that dangerous, I believe Lord Tracy would have noticed it long ago." Alina realized that her previous answer had a negative impact on the other party. He couldn't help but laugh, "So, as long as we don't do unnecessary things, this trip will definitely be a pleasant one."

"Yes…"

Ives nodded slightly, but he was already resistant and could no longer concentrate on browsing around and appreciating the unique customs of this mysterious town.

No matter whether it was the children laughing and playing around, the women chatting happily, or the craftsmen working hard to make unique handicrafts, they could not arouse his interest.

"Cheer up. If you miss the annual redemption ceremony this year, you will have to wait until next year."

Feeling the tension and discomfort of the young man, Alina sighed secretly in her heart again, and immediately turned around as if inadvertently and looked around the street behind her, using the [Breath of Wind] magic to help calm the emotions of the person who stood up. .

"Those are handmade ornaments specially used in our town to prepare redemption sacrifices. Do you want to go over and take a look?"

Noticing the lingering gaze of the slightly older lady behind him, Morris, who was leading the way, quickly stopped and enthusiastically introduced the things that the elegant and intellectual beautiful lady behind him was focusing on.

"Of course, that's up to you, Mr. Morris!"

Alina then showed an expectant smile, and even her tone was obviously cheerful and excited.

Seeing this scene, Ives couldn't help but twitch his mouth with complicated emotions. If he hadn't known this senior first and clearly knew the purpose of the other person's turning back just now, otherwise he would have mistakenly thought that the other person was really interested in those jewelry. interest.

"What's wrong, Ives, although these things are indeed not as valuable as your family's priceless collections, isn't it a unique experience to occasionally try this kind of handicrafts that are full of a different flavor of life?"

As she passed by the young man, Alina slightly raised the corners of her mouth, smiled and joked.

"Senior, do you have some unnecessary misunderstandings about me..."

The moment he heard these words, Avis helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth more and more intensely. He wanted to directly retort, 'Am I like this kind of person? ’, and finally gave up such an idea intuitively, and quickly followed the three of them.

As a result, it was this opportunity that allowed him to truly see clearly the stall owner selling exquisite trinkets in front of him.

A black magician hat, a magician robe of the same color, and long white slightly curly hair that contrasts sharply with the color of the clothes on his body...
