Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 349 The third trial with unexpected assistance (Part )
  "Lord Ovid, what are your orders?"

When only she and the senior Ovid were left in the room, Alina immediately restrained her slightly complicated emotions and asked in a serious manner without showing any abnormality.

"Get ready, we'll leave immediately."

Seeing the no-nonsense behavior of the leader of the Preparatory Sages and Assistants, Ovid nodded slightly with satisfaction and responded in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

Without any courtesy, Alina immediately took out the [Space Teleportation] card from her coat pocket and activated the space teleportation magic.
  Of course, she could also use a less eye-catching way to teleport back, but she believed that in front of a great mage who had worked with several sages, no matter how she disguised herself, the other party would be able to judge her power. the essence of. Therefore, in this case, honesty is often more trustworthy than concealment.

Seeing Alina's increasingly transparent figure, this great thunder mage who belonged to the previous team of sage assistants showed for the first time a dignity and worry that was completely different from his meticulous temperament: "The prophesied era of change Is it coming again?”

However, such sentiments did not stay on his face for too long. He simply closed the old-style book with a classic cover in his hand and leaned back on the chair, waiting for the return of the sage assistant and leader-to-be.

After a while, Alina changed into shorts and shorts that were more convenient for movement and returned to the box where the former assistant of Thunder was.

"Are you ready this time?"

After suspiciously looking at the attire of the sage assistant-preparatory leader, Ovid did not comment in the end and directly made the final confirmation before departure.

"Ready."

After saying that, without waiting for further instructions from the former assistant of the Sage of Thunder, Alina once again drew a card and activated the space teleportation magic. In an instant, she brought the other party to the silent Celia. Lake lakeside.

"No need for divination, just go down directly."

As a result, just when Alina wanted to take out the 'Star Lighthouse' for a simple divination confirmation, she heard the former assistant of the Sage of Thunder once again give instructions that were not in line with her usual code of conduct.

"Yes."

Alina originally wanted to question it, but based on the previous behavior of the other party clearly communicating with Avis about spiritual magic, she gave up this idea and instead drew out [Underwater Stealth] with a certain back-up plan. 】talisman, and gave one to the assistant of the former sage.

It's really a bit uncomfortable.

Smiling silently in her heart, Alina immediately restrained her excess emotions and followed the Sage of Thunder assistant into the water without stopping.

wow~
  With the onset of a chill, Alina could clearly feel that the underwater world had undergone some obvious changes compared to her previous two times. The chill that seemed to freeze her whole body became stronger and stronger, and the heavy feeling of decay originating from the ancient times became more and more obvious to me.

"I did it."

Without giving the junior next to him time to be surprised and confused, Ovid blocked all the other party's questions with a simple sentence, so that most of the doubts in Alina's heart were solved at this moment.

"Then what do we do next?"

Looking at the seaweed jungle below her feet that seemed to be denser than the previous gathering place, Alina was surprised and surprised, but she suppressed other emotions and asked carefully.

"what is your opinion?"

Unexpectedly, the former assistant of the Sage of Thunder unexpectedly returned the decision-making power to Alina.

This made Alina very surprised, but the surprise did not stay on her face for long. She gave her opinion quite frankly: "My opinion is to investigate from the periphery. After all, no one can Ensure that the mutated altar will not produce new mutations when it loses its guards."

"Then I'll listen to you and try not to alert them to investigate."

After speaking, Ovid decisively made an invitation gesture to the lady next to him, actively signaling the other party to take action.

Therefore, Alina immediately adjusted her state to find a suitable area for them to intervene.    Side?

Although this is an area that is easy to ignore, the opposite is also true. It is easy to be ignored, so once she chooses to start investigating from here, will the central altar notice it and fight back?
  Just like last time, use [Sleeping Powder] to put those seaweeds to sleep first, and then wait for an opportunity to take action?

"What are you hesitating about?"

Just as Alina was carefully considering the response plan, the words of the former Sage of Thunder assistant echoed around her again.

"How do you think it would be appropriate to conduct the investigation?"

When the assistant of the Sage of Thunder asked, Alina immediately put away her thoughts and asked directly.

"You can do whatever you think is appropriate. Don't worry about accidents."

Ovid resisted the urge to frown and said in a calm tone that the current sage assistant beside him must support him.

"I see."

With the great mage's confidence, Alina immediately stopped worrying and directly manipulated the surrounding wind elements to lead her down. She did not stop approaching until she entered the attack range of the seaweed guard, and instead directed some The wind element forms a small wind blade that is difficult to detect with the naked eye and throws it in the direction of the seagrass jungle ahead.

Call ~
  Under her delicate operation, the wind blade fell into the gap in the seagrass jungle without arousing any reaction, cutting off the outermost, seemingly least valued part.

wow~
  Following the precise hit of the wind blade, the seaweeds near the outside were immediately broken into two sections by this silent blow, and fell into the dark environment below them, where it seemed that the bottom could not be seen.

At the same time, the altar she saw last time once again revealed a shallow corner, revealing a more obvious magic symbol than before.

"Lord Ovid, do you know what is written there?"

Instead of approaching rashly, Alina turned to look behind her at the former assistant of the Sage of Thunder and asked for advice seriously.

"I don't know, and I don't need to know. Just work with me to find the source of the compound magic."

However, the former assistant of the Sage of Thunder did not seem to consider these concerns and directly gave a more radical and bold solution.

"I'll try my best."

Without caring about whether the other party's suggestion was feasible, Alina immediately eliminated the unnecessary distractions and agreed in a deep voice.

Then, based on the location chosen by the opponent, he swam around to the other side of the Le Altar, and began to repeat the previous steps of cutting the seaweed jungle, looking for possible composite magic circles.

Unexpectedly, just when she completed a small area and was about to start investigating the next area, a familiar dizziness enveloped her whole body again, making her feel a sense of déjà vu on top of the backlash of magic power. The pain was going to tear her whole body apart.

This is the second time. What is the connection between the secrets hidden here and her? Why did she have such a reaction before she started investigating...

Trying not to be dominated by the pain, Alina tried to stay away from that area while trying to spy on something more.

Unfortunately, the scene in front of her that was shaking more and more violently and the whispers in her mind that were becoming more and more confusing ruthlessly thwarted her attempt.

Could this be the end of it this time?
  No, this is already the third time, I have to investigate something and go back!
  Recalling the words of the Thunder Sage's assistant not long ago, and the worried eyes of the students, Alina, who was struggling on the edge of giving up, immediately stopped hesitating, pulled out two other cards, and used one of them for herself. Forming a field of wind barrier that can temporarily isolate the outside world, try to record the special symbols on the altar that release mental pollution to her before the barrier is broken.

3, 2, 1...

As the last stroke fell, Alina suddenly felt a sense of relief. Then she no longer had any worries. She directly activated another card in her hand and teleported herself back to the shore of Lake Selia...
