Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 341 The investigation begins again
  "It will be more efficient to act separately, and Mr. Haitang does not know [sound transmission] magic. Will Natalie help him?"

Sensing the surprise and astonishment on the student's face, Alina then came up with more convincing reasons to try to convince the other party.

"Yes, if there is the help of voice transmission magic, the progress of my investigation should be accelerated. Miss Natalie, are you willing to help?"

In line with Alina's comfort, Avis quickly adjusted his mood, smiled and extended his hand to the girl on the other side to invite again.

"of course can!"

Putting aside her worries about the teacher acting alone, Natalie forced herself to focus on the things she could do, trying to persuade herself not to think about things she shouldn't think about.

"Then let's go, Ives. You and Natalie will be in charge of the street on the left, and I'll be in charge of the right. I feel that the intelligence collection is almost done, so we can go directly back to the hotel to meet up. Do you understand?"

After using the 'Star Lighthouse' to confirm the current status of the town for the last time, Alina immediately assigned tasks to both parties based on the principle of proximity.

"Understood!"

Natalie and Ives responded in unison, and then ran directly to the intelligence collection area they were responsible for without any delay.

"Okay, then it's time for me to start investigating."

Watching the two people's gradually shrinking backs, Alina sighed softly, then immediately withdrew her gaze and used [Flying] magic to fly to another neighborhood opposite the two people.

"Master Suzuran, don't you consider taking a rest? As far as I know, the experience last night should be considered a big burden for you."

Just when Alina was about to cast a large-scale [sound transmission] magic, her ears suddenly echoed with the voice belonging to Sallysette.

"Indeed, that is a big burden for me, but since the matter has not yet come to light, how can I turn a blind eye to the wishes of the two lovely juniors and the wishes of more people in the town who long for freedom?"

After a moment of surprise, Alina quickly regained her due calmness, and gave the other party the answer she believed in with a firm and unwavering expression.

"You can definitely ask me for help. Anyway, there will be no new arrangements on my side before that adult arrives. Therefore, during this blank period, you can definitely invite me to assist in the investigation."

Sensing the determination and firmness in the other party's words, Salister gave up her subsequent words of persuasion and settled for the next best thing, while making sincere suggestions while conducting her own tests without leaving any trace.

Of course, she originally wanted to ask more directly, asking the other party whether she was not worthy of her trust, but after thinking about it, she gave up such an idea. Because once she said these words, it showed her distrust of her partners. Whether it is for the side of the sage assistant or for herself, it will have an extremely negative impact. As a member who has been in the position of 'Freedom Cornerstone' for three full years, she will not and will not allow herself to To do such a reckless thing.

Thinking like this, she adjusted her emotions and tried to make the doubt in her heart about the trust between the two parties gradually disappear.

"If you have this intention, then I would rather accept it respectfully."

While speaking, Alina skillfully bowed slightly towards the white figure located in the corner of a house in front of her to express her gratitude and respect.

"It is also an honor for me to be able to help you."

Sensing the reminder from the other party's polite bowing action, Salister felt guilty for a while, and at the same time, her facial expression became more and more daring and she responded to the other party's humble words with the same sincere bowing action.

"Then, I'll leave it to you."

Alina nodded lightly, and then completed the process of gathering magic elements without wasting any more time. She manipulated the two large magic arrays at hand to release a large-scale [sound transmission] magic that could cover half of the city. “Then I’ll go check for the leaks and make up for them!”

After once again confirming the current status of the leader of the sage assistants, Salister immediately withdrew her gaze and used the [breath elimination] magic to fly away directly...

……

While Alina and Sallysette initially reached a cooperation agreement, Avis and Natalie, who took action before Alina, also achieved certain results.

"Master Haitang, do you think the news just now is reliable? Did that strange fog really only appear in the past week?"

Recalling the news she had just heard on the back balcony of the residents' house in the town, Natalie made a somewhat uncertain confirmation to the sage assistant of the North District of Water next to her.

"At least I didn't detect any abnormal emotions from the surrounding water elements when they spoke."

Ives answered in the affirmative rather tactfully.

"Then why is that?"

As soon as such a question came out of her mouth, Natalie couldn't help but regret the words she just said, because she quickly thought of the sensitive time of the past week, when they planned to come to Saili after solving Brother Shitou's matter. Day to visit Asia town.

At first, she had fearfully thought that the arrival of her group had caused an abnormal fog, but considering the personalities of the teacher and Master Haitang, as well as the time when her group came to Celia Town and the limit of "nearly a week" There was still a gap of one to two days, so she apologetically gave up the above idea.

Following this line of thinking, she immediately had a new understanding of the teacher's intention to recommend visiting Celia Town:

The problem was not with them, but with the teacher who noticed the anomaly in advance, so they came to Celia Town.

So, why did the teacher and the others predict the abnormality in Selia Town in advance?
  Could it be that Conrad's matter has something to do with the small town of Selia?

Yes, Conrad has died once before. It must have been caused by the power that brought him back from the dead. It saw that Conrad was going to fail, so it changed its target and planned to create something in the small town of Selia. A bigger crisis!

No, absolutely not, we must stop him!
  Thinking like this, Natalie suddenly felt a surge of impatience in her heart, and even her original idea of ​​taking a break was completely eliminated by her thoughts.

"Miss Natalie, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so anxious? Did you find something?"

With the help of the abnormal flow of magic elements around him, Ives quickly noticed something strange about the little girl next to him. While he was surprised, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Someone wants to destroy the town of Selia, we must stop him!"

In order to further convince Ives, Natalie hurriedly worked hard to organize her words and repeated the conjecture she had just made.

"Your idea is generally correct. Senior, she did notice the anomaly in Celia town in advance and decided to come here to take a look. However, the matter is not serious enough yet. We still have a chance to save Celia. Small town, at least now we can feel that the frequency of abnormal fog is decreasing, right?”

As soon as they finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew up without warning on the street where the two of them were sitting. It made the branches and leaves on both sides of the street rustle, and also caused the residents who were still lingering on the back balconies on both sides to retreat back into their houses. Intensified. The magical barrier where your own house is located...
