Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 718 The sudden truth

"But there's not enough time anymore. If this continues, mom will be completely lost here!"

Although I really want to listen to Salister-senpai’s opinion. But when she thought about the scene when she returned home happily, her house was empty, and the building was deserted, Natalie couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Because of this, we need to calm down more and cherish every strength we have now!" Salister retorted unmoved. Seeing that the girl was still a little stunned, she couldn't help but angrily raised her voice. The voice said, "How do you practice in this state? What if you keep practicing hard until the fog really comes! Pray for the fog to give you time to prepare? No, this kind of thing will never happen. !”

"Sorry…"

Feeling the momentum behind the other person's words, Natalie suddenly realized, then she lowered her head in shame and apologized.

Next, Natalie was not as anxious as before. Even if she had the urge to practice magic, she would restrain such urge by diverting her attention. Therefore, after regaining her composure, she quickly focused her attention on Miss Laney and this strange misty world.
  "Senior Salister, is it safe here?"

Because she was not sure whether her words would cause some unnecessary changes like before, Natalie was careful not to directly ask about the matter itself this time, but instead asked for Sally's opinion in a indirect way.

"It's very safe. I guarantee that a magician without the level of a magister will never be able to enter this barrier."

Sallyste replied confidently.

But soon, she understood the other party's true meaning from Natalie's hesitation, and then she also calmed down her expression and said solemnly: "I may not be able to guarantee the other things, but in not telling the 'story' In the absence of others, our private conversations are safe."

Call ~
  Accompanied by a whistling wind, before Natalie could express her opinion, the scene in front of her instantly changed and turned into a street that was quite familiar to her, but slightly different in details.

"Randall?"

Relying on the familiarity brought to her by the delisting of shops on both sides, Natalie read out the name of the town that suddenly appeared in front of her with some uncertainty.

Unfortunately, she did not get the expected response. Neither the pedestrians passing by nor Sallysette, who should have been in front of her but disappeared at this moment, gave her an answer.

"Miss Sallysette?"

She tried calling the senior's name, but she still didn't get any response. Whether it was the person involved or the pedestrians walking on the street, they seemed not to notice the girl's call and continued to be busy with their own things.

"Excuse me, have you seen a girl with white hair and a big black hat?"

After looking around her surroundings and hesitating for a while, Natalie immediately summoned up the courage to walk up to an old lady with gray hair and asked in one breath.

"Because..." Looking at the girl's serious expression, Salisette raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then matched the expression on her face to perfectly transform the upward curve of her mouth into an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry. If I don't tell you this in advance, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to complete the next task."

"Huh? Why?"

Natalie asked subconsciously.

"Judging from what we saw and heard on the road before, those strange disappearing people are probably related to the fog that suddenly appeared and disappeared." At this point, Salister couldn't help but pause, and then seemed to make up her mind. With great determination, he said without reservation, "Yes, after you came home, I almost disappeared under the influence of the fog. Fortunately, I was not lost in the illusion woven by the fog. , so when I realized that it was all an illusion, I successfully left the fog and returned to the normal world."

"But why didn't you tell me this until now?" Natalie sighed at first for the experience described by the other party, and then she couldn't help but feel a little defensive in her mind, and asked with distrust.

"Because I found that I can't rescue those people trapped in the fog." Seeing that the girl was still in disbelief, Salister immediately showed a wry smile, "Of course, if the situation permits, I will also take better measures. There is a way, but unfortunately, until this is confirmed, I can’t really trust the magicians who can be temporarily hired by me.”

"It turns out that..."

Natalie was stunned for a moment, but soon she had a new question, "But why did you choose me..."

"Through the incident in Celia Town, I am sure that you can be trusted. Of course, the more important reason is that you seem to be the only Randall resident I know, so I can only ask you, please contact him through myself. Residents make connections.”

"Okay, I'll try my best!"

After hearing the other party's sincere words, Natalie hesitated for a while, but finally chose to accept the commission.

"You also have to be careful. If you discover the whereabouts of those guys, you must notify us. Don't deal with them without enough confidence!"

Seeing that the leader of the Sage Assistants was about to change the subject, Salister finally made up her mind and reminded her rather worriedly.

"I know."

But as soon as she was about to take action, she realized a problem.

After hesitating for a long time, she realized that Miss Salister didn't seem to be angry. Then she carefully looked at the other party's location and said after careful consideration: "Then how should I find the fog?"

"this…"

Sallyste was about to say that she could sense whether the fog was coming by observing the fluctuations of magic elements around her, but a bit of cold wind that shouldn't have appeared suddenly passed by their ears, blowing their respective voices. Broken hair scattered on the sides of the cheeks.

"Natalie, the danger is the fog!"

Without any hesitation, Salister hurriedly appeared in front of Natalie, took out a snow-white gemstone medal, and then quickly set up a magic barrier around the two of them that was enough to avoid the mist.

Outside the barrier, the strange wind was still howling, sending out waves of misty mist all around.

"Close your eyes and don't look!"

Realizing that Natalie was observing the mist attentively, Salister hurriedly stopped her, blocked her sight, and reminded her hurriedly.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, after temporarily shocking Natalie, she carefully took off the wide magician hat on her head and put it on the girl's head, using the width of the hat itself to block part of Natalie's sight. …
