Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 720 Helpless misunderstanding (Part )
  So, the former leader of the Sage Assistants, Alina Christo, moved into his territory.

For a period of time after that, he continued to fulfill the agreement he had made with the sage assistant of the North District of Water, and regularly and quantitatively injected Alina Christo with those who were the sage assistant of the North District of Water. A sedative with special effects.

The sage assistant of the North District of Water will also chat with him for a while during this process. Although he is not interested in most topics, he still sees the other person's kindness in fulfilling his wish. on, and responded patiently.

After another not too long period of time, the sage assistant from the North District of Water told him that the situation outside had gradually stabilized and the previous transaction could proceed.

Of course, in order to prepare for possible accidents, the sage assistant in the North District of Water also put forward his own conditions:
  [He can not interrupt at the scene, but he will monitor every conversation by himself. 】

When he said these words, Lanz could feel the strong and irreversible exhaustion deep in the soul of the sage assistant in the North District of Water.

He had seen that kind of exhaustion in a middle-aged man who was dying.

At that time, his teacher told him that this was the sequelae of frequent use of power beyond the constraints of the [Laws]. Unless the [Laws] could be approved, any magic or medicine could only delay that trend, but could not cure it.

He clearly remembered how devastated the middle-aged man was when he learned the truth, so this time he tacitly agreed not to expose this fact, just like the disguises made by the sage assistant of the North District of Water to the outside world, pretending that he He didn't see the truth that the other party might not live long.

Afterwards, just as he had judged, the Water North District gradually reduced the frequency of his visits, and the young leader of the patrols came in his place. He did not have much impression of the leader of the patrols. My impression is that he, like Alina, should not have such a fate.

Of course, such emotion did not stay in his heart for too long. He ended his greetings with today's visitors, took the key to unlock the seal, and opened the special cage where Alina was imprisoned.

On this day, he waited for too long, but he was not in a hurry. He still politely asked the monitor to confirm the status first, then brought a chair, sat to the side where the sunlight outside the window would not be blocked, and began to wait for monitoring. The person left.

creak-

The sound of the room door being gently closed by the monitor suddenly stopped, and only he and Alina, who were sitting quietly in the middle of the cage, were left in the huge room.

"Good day, nice to meet you, what do you want from me?"

Almost at the same time, a voice that belonged entirely to a woman quietly echoed in the room where they were alone.

He heard her voice for the first time since they first met her.

Very calm, very rational, without the despair he felt before, nor the madness and paranoia of most desperate people.

This touched him and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Of course, these were not the main reasons that touched him and made him feel surprised.

What really touched him and surprised him was that he found that the sound was even better than he expected.

It's light, but it has a softness and tranquility that cannot be concealed by the cold temperament on the surface. Just like the clear water flowing in front of him in the hottest time of summer, it instantly dispels his long-term heat and uneasiness, and also It instantly moistened his long-dry soul.

At this moment, he was completely convinced that the touch he had when they first met was not a momentary illusion, and that he had truly fallen in love with her.

Of course, he knew very well that this emotion could not be shown in front of her.

This is not to say that he is afraid of being used by her, but that he knows that such feelings will only affect his judgment of various subsequent situations. “Good day, I want to chat with you. It won’t take up a lot of your time, half an hour every day, okay?”

So, after a brief moment of surprise, he quickly calmed down all his emotions, and made his request with a smile just like he had rehearsed countless times before, with real emotions but absolutely restrained emotions.

He knew that his so-called disguise could not hide from such a leader who was experienced in similar things, so he never thought about pretending. He just tried hard to restrain all unnecessary emotions and tried hard to show that he wanted to be with her. Communicate with sincerity and respect.

"it is good."

What surprised him was that Alina, who was on his side, agreed to him without hesitation.

Without hesitation, yes, that's right, the next moment he made the request, without any hesitation, without any pause.

This development was far beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but feel a little unreal.

"You don't need to be surprised. You gave me a certain amount of freedom, and I should respond to your wishes within a certain range. This is a very normal exchange of equal value."

As if she saw his doubts, Alina, who was beside him, immediately gave an explanation.

His tone was as cold and distant as ever, but to his ears, it sounded warm, caring and understanding beyond imagination.

This time, he didn't let himself waste any more time. While quickly calming down all his emotions, he smiled and asked the first question when the two officially started communicating: "What's your name? Or, how should I call you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a brief shock coming from his side.

Yes, he was stunned. Although it was only for a short moment, he still captured the real emotion of surprise that was different from her previous indifference.

He didn't break the tacit understanding, and just looked to the side patiently, waiting for the answer that was bound to come.

"Alina Cristo, you should have heard of her."

Sure enough, Alina immediately restrained all her emotions, returned to the coldness and alienation he felt before, and answered very calmly.

Lanz nodded slightly, ended the topic appropriately, and turned to his second question.

As for his name, he could feel that she didn't care, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it, only waiting for her to decide to take the opportunity to tell it due to some needs.

……

Every day that followed, Lanz would fulfill his agreement and chat with Alina for half an hour.

Sometimes it's morning, sometimes it's afternoon, sometimes it's evening.

But no matter which time it is, he will prepare a cup of tea at a suitable temperature in advance and a small plate of snacks suitable for enjoying with the tea.
