Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 407 Negotiations with the Cornerstone of ‘Difficulty’ (Part )

At night, in the private residence that is the cornerstone of 'Trouble',
  "Frankly speaking, I'm surprised that you still come to visit me. It seems that Inzat's judgment is correct. You are indeed a leader worthy of your name."

After a brief greeting, Roy Claude quickly put away the surprise on his face, smiled again, and led the unexpected visitor into his reception room with proper etiquette.

"Thank you for your compliment. Although what you did before did make me very unhappy, I am not that superficial person, so I don't have to pursue the little probing tricks you used before, but there will be no next time."

Seeing that the purpose of the warning had been achieved and that the 'difficult' cornerstone was not given the opportunity to seize the initiative in communication, Alina immediately continued according to the plan she had made before the visit: "If there is no objection, I hope to be involved in the conversation at the same time. We agree on certain things that are of mutual interest. You can remind me in the form of suggestions what problems I need to avoid, and I will try to think of better solutions based on this. As for intelligence, I will not try to understand Those parts that should not be known to me, I will also use this method to restrict you. Well, if you agree, go straight to the topic. If you don’t agree, I will leave immediately. "

"Frankly speaking, I don't trust you, but I can agree to the exchange of information."

Unconsciously, he stopped trying to arouse the other person's emotions. Claude nodded slightly, sighed and made an invitation gesture.

"Okay, now you can tell me, what caused your attitude to change?"

Therefore, Alina did not waste any more time and directly chose a nearby sofa to sit down. She was not at all shaken by the fact that the other party did not agree to the first half of her words.

"It seems that you already have some understanding of my position," noticed the warning eyes of the leader of the sage assistants that inadvertently glanced at his face. Claude, who did not gain much from the other party's emotions, once again became aware of it. Unexpectedly, he put away his probing words and bowed, "Please wait here for a moment while I go to the study to get some information."

"Ah."

Alina nodded lightly and did not object.

After a while, the 'difficult' cornerstone returned to the reception room holding several thick documents. He handed a piece of paper with a complicated astrolabe and densely written lines of text to the leader of the sage assistants on the sofa.

A few minutes later, Alina, who tried to interpret the astrolabe but failed to achieve much, slowly put down the paper after reading the dense text around the astrolabe. To sum up the above findings straightforwardly in one sentence: "So you are worried that before the 'past', 'present' and 'future' have time to intersect, possible accidents will destroy all the arrangements of the three sages in the past? "

"Yes, this is also the meaning of the existence of 'Sky Scholar'."

After taking a deep look at the leader of the Sage Auxiliary who spoke these words lightly, Cloud finally did not reveal his dissatisfaction, but also euphemistically expressed the core concept of the 'Sky Scholar'.

"I already know the meaning of 'cornerstone', but what about 'past', 'present' and 'future'? What role do they play in your concepts?"

Jing Jing wrote down the key points that the other party mentioned inadvertently just now, and then Alina followed the plan and tentatively asked this question that had been on her mind for a long time but had never been able to get a definite answer.

"I'm not sure how you understand it. Within our 'Sky Scholars', they are actually the arrangements left by the three sages. If the sealed monsters and evil spirits symbolize the imbalance left at the end of the Second Era, The 'past', 'present' and 'future' represent the possibility of repairing this imbalance." At this point, Claude paused and found that the leader of the Sage Assistant on the sofa was still calm and indifferent. He looked like he was smiling, and he unexpectedly showed a smile of understanding again, "It seems that you have no less information than me. I don't think I need to give any more explanations here."

"This is obvious." As before, without showing her emotions, Alina continued to advance her plan in an orderly manner. "But what is more difficult for me to understand is why you think that my students are very likely to It becomes the cornerstone of everything. As far as I know, no matter whether it is 'now' or 'future', the agent they chose has not appeared. On what basis do you judge?"

"Fischer's calculation based on the cause of Veronica's accident."     She took a deep look at the 'Troubled' cornerstone sitting opposite. In the end, Alina did not let her calm emotions take the opportunity to plant the seeds of wavering in her heart, and soon Quickly regain your proper composure and calmness, "So?"

"This is the conclusion we get from the results and the causes, so you don't need to be nervous."

Claude stated his position again in a calm tone.

"I know." After waiting quietly for a while, seeing that the 'difficult' cornerstone didn't seem to intend to discuss this issue in depth, Alina changed the subject very much as she kept her promise, "So what do you think about the future development of 'cornerstone'? Any suggestions?"

"Continue to keep Miss Arinor's secret until you feel that she is capable of taking on this responsibility."

Seeing that the leader of the Sage Assistant had no objection, Claude nodded slightly and continued: "Improve her ability to protect herself in the face of danger. You can plan the specific plan yourself first, but I will review it. If there are differences of opinion, I hope you can cooperate with the adjustment."

"anything else?"

She didn't agree immediately, nor did she feel any dissatisfaction. Alina kept her calmness and calmness and asked with a smile.

"Don't let her be affected by those unclean elements. You should know what I mean about this."

Claude thought for a moment, but still added one more suggestion based on the last suggestion without worry.

"I see."

Although she was a little surprised, Alina didn't waste time and asked more questions, and nodded lightly in agreement.

"Last point, I hope you can provide me with a study report of Miss Arinor on a regular basis, once every three months. This is a need to prepare for unexpected events. I hope you can understand."

After thinking about it for a while, Claude finally changed the frequency from the initial 'once a month' to 'once every three months'.

"no problem."

Alina silently calculated the corresponding time in her mind, then nodded again and agreed without any abnormality.

"You can continue to ask questions."

"Well," after another period of consideration, Alina did not refuse. She skipped the questions related to Avis with some certainty and directly asked the next question, "I want to know the origin of the 'Sky Scholar'. Lord Laud, I wonder if I have the honor to know?"
