Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 323 Temporary gathering and new information
  This should be enough. I believe he should be able to handle the rest.

Before officially returning to her floor, Alina stayed in the stairwell for a moment without leaving a trace. Seeing that the two groups of guests had slowly calmed down under the influence of her words and magic, she retracted her gaze with relief and turned around. He went upstairs and returned to his room.

dong dong dong~
  After a while, a crisp knock on the door echoed in the silent corridor on the third floor of the hotel.

"Which one?"

Inside the room, a slightly wary male voice responded immediately.

"it's me."

Hearing the unexpected but reasonable voice, Alina was stunned for a moment, and then answered concisely and clearly.

As the door creaked open from the inside out, Ives, who was waiting at the door with vigilance, stepped back a few steps and bowed politely to the woman outside the door.

"Teacher Alina..."

And what about Natalie? Seeing his teacher looking so calm and calm, most of the worries in his heart disappeared. Although at this moment, she still had many questions that she wanted to communicate with the teacher and wanted to find out, but she noticed that Master Haitang and her teacher still had serious expressions, so she intuitively gave up her subsequent words and sat upright. On the sofa in the room, I waited for the discussion between the teacher and Master Haitang.

However, the matter did not go directly to the point as she thought. The way Master Haitang hesitated to speak made Natalie quickly notice whether her presence had affected their discussion.

So, after a brief hesitation, Natalie raised her hand slightly and said apologetically: "Um... Master Haitang, Teacher Alina, are these topics not suitable for me to listen to? If not, I can leave. of."

"It's okay. If Natalie wants to hear anything, you can stay and listen to her."

Still the same as before, Alina answered very calmly, as calmly as if she was talking about the daily weather.

"senior?"

Euphemistically not saying any further words, Ives expressed his hesitation with a very concise and clear address.

"It doesn't matter, just say it like that."

However, to his surprise, Alina still had no intention of changing her mind.

"Okay," seeing that he really couldn't change the other person's mind, Avis could only sigh silently in his heart, and then said carefully, "As the intelligence we got late last night showed, the small town of Celia The fog has mutated, what measures should we take next?”

"Measure?" Alina looked at the sage assistant of the North District of Water who was sitting quietly on another sofa with a strange expression, and then shook her head calmly in an understatement, "No need, Selia Town's The higher-ups may know better than we do what to do next.”

"Sorry, I was negligent." After being reminded by Alina, Avis realized his omission belatedly. So, before the other party said the follow-up arrangements, he took the lead in apologizing, and then tried to Putting forward his guess about the follow-up arrangements, "Then shall we stay here forever? Until the corresponding information about the fog phenomenon is obtained."

"Yes, I believe it won't take long. Sit here for a while." Alina nodded gently in agreement, and then quickly added as if she thought of something, "Of course, if you are free, you You can also go to other floors of the hotel and, if necessary, try to appease the victims’ relatives and friends.”

"I see."

Avis responded with a solemn expression, then picked up the notebook at hand and quickly wrote down his next itinerary on the paper.

"victim?"

But Natalie on the other side was not so calm.

Although it was obvious from the noise in the hotel corridor in the morning that things were not that simple, she never expected that this side trip would involve human life, and that someone had already lost their life. "Yes, five guests in the hotel have mysteriously disappeared because they went out in the middle of the night."

Without trying to hide the students, Alina gave her answer with a sad look.

"why is it like this…"

Although she knew she shouldn't ask like this at this time, Natalie couldn't help but feel sad. She couldn't imagine that there were people so close to her who could no longer be reunited with their families.

However, this sadness did not last long, and soon there was a new round of knocking on the door in their room.

Avis and Alina exchanged glances, and finally Alina, who had gone out to understand the situation, came forward.

"Is this Master Suzuran? Our mayor has sent word that there is nothing abnormal in the town after the fog. If possible, he hopes that all those stranded in the town will go to the center of the residential area. Hold an emergency rally in the square."

Outside the door, the hotel owner asked respectfully but urgently.

Of course, such humility is not only for Alina and the others, but also for all the guests staying in this hotel.

"Okay, I understand, I will take my members there as soon as possible."

Without a trace of hesitation, after confirming with the help of the Star Lighthouse that the person outside the door indeed belonged to the hotel owner, Alina immediately nodded gently to her two students, then unlocked the magic restrictions on the door and quickly took them away. room, go down to the first floor of the hotel, and under the orderly arrangement of the hotel owner, go one by one to the central square of Selia Town, which is not too far from the hotel...

"so many people…"

Looking at the crowds gathering in the square, Natalie couldn't help but sigh, subconsciously wanting to stand on tiptoe to learn more, but she immediately felt the solemnity and gloominess of the surrounding atmosphere, so she fell silent again with a guilty conscience, waiting for the end of the square. In front, on a high platform, the mayor was talking to the people next to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to call you here so suddenly. I believe you all have learned about what happened in the middle of last night from your own channels."

Seeing the audience nodding in agreement, the mayor on the stage immediately looked sad and sorrowful, but this emotion did not stay on his face for long, and he continued speaking firmly, "Yes, just as I got Information shows that, together with the house without magic barrier protection, a total of 120 people are missing this time. In order to ensure everyone's safety when danger comes again. I implore you to strictly follow our customs until we investigate the ins and outs of the matter. , close the doors and windows before going to bed, set up magic barriers, and try not to go out in the middle of the night. If you have to go out, you must go out when there is no wind outside."

As soon as the words fell, there was silence in the audience, but after a moment of silence, there were voices of people whispering and talking.

Although Natalie couldn't hear clearly what the distant voices were saying, she could still hear clearly those who were closer. Some blamed the mayor for his incompetence, some lamented the disappearance of relatives and property losses, and some tourists thought that Celi The accident in Yazhen Town seriously affected their travel plans and they wanted to leave immediately...

Natalie heard these words one by one and wanted to refute something, but then she noticed that those words were completely correct from their respective perspectives. Because if it were her place, she would also be sad for those who passed away, and would also want to leave because of the dangerous atmosphere in Celia Town...

"Let's go, Natalie. The mayor just said that in order to prevent possible accidents, I hope everyone can return to their own homes. If there are new situations, they will be passed on to the person in charge of the nearby block in a letter. Then they will convey it through large-scale [sound transmission] magic."

Just when Natalie was lost in thought, Natalie felt her shoulder being tapped gently. Before she could react, she heard her teacher's words.

"Let's go."

Alina looked at her students with a smile and continued to propose.

"Um…"

Finding that many people around her were already leaving one after another, Natalie could only force herself to put her thoughts away and follow the teacher's pace in silence...
