Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 22 Goodbye Earth Mallow and the Magical Nanzhu Workshop
  In the evening, Alina, who had just finished her daily work, was about to take a break when a letter with a pattern of mallow flowers suddenly flew out of the window.

"It's finally done. I can finally go out for a walk."

After roughly reading the above content, Alina leaned back on her chair, sighed deeply, and said with emotion.

This was the fifth day since she and Natalie returned from Undine City, the main city of the North Water District. Except for the first two days of vacation, she stayed in Sylph City for the remaining three days and formally taught Natalie some simple basic theoretical knowledge of magic.

When she was almost tired of this and wanted to take her students to find some new things to enrich her boring life, the letter she had been waiting for finally arrived.

So, without further ado, let’s go find Ivan tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Alina sat up straight again with great energy, picked up the pen she had discarded in the corner from the table, and quickly wrote a letter to the person she mentioned.

……

"Good morning, Natalie, we won't have class today because Brother Shitou sent a letter yesterday saying that the gift for you is ready. Let's go and get it."

The next morning, before Natalie could open the textbook, she was pulled by the teacher to put the books away, and came to Nome City in the Southern District of the Earth through the [Space Teleportation] magic.

"Good morning, Alina, little Natalie!"

As soon as the two of them stepped onto the streets of Nome City, Blair waved enthusiastically to them from a few meters away.

"Good morning, Brother Shitou," after a simple greeting, Alina gently raised the corners of her mouth, showing a tepid smile and reminded in a low voice, "Don't you have to work today? If I remember correctly If so, the investigation in Eden Village is not over yet, right?"

Hearing the term 'Eden Village' off guard, Blair couldn't help but feel a headache again. He quickly stepped forward to hold down the woman opposite him, adjusted his glasses and raised his voice to explain: "That's true, but after all, it's for Little Natalie’s gift, no matter how busy I am at work, I still have to take the time to give it in person.”

Natalie on the side couldn't help feeling guilty after hearing this, and apologized hastily: "I'm sorry for causing you trouble..."

"Little Natalie, don't worry about such trivial matters. Just go with Alina to get the gift I prepared for you."

Blair knelt down and gently touched Natalie's head, comforting her gently.

"Then let's..." After seeing the interaction between the two of them, Alina nodded with satisfaction. She was about to propose heading directly to the destination of her trip, but she encountered the unpleasant test in Undine City a few days ago. , changed his previous calm demeanor, pulled the intellectual young man in front of him, lowered his voice and asked, "But speaking of it, when you sent the materials over, Ivan, no, did there be any special reaction from Nanzhu Workshop? ?”

"Reaction..." Blair followed the other person's conversation and recalled it. In the end, he couldn't find any clues in his memory fragments. He shook his head, "There was no obvious expression there. But you, Alina, today It's an important day for little Natalie, so don't be jealous of her."

"Yes," Alina curled her lips again, then immediately changed her attitude, gave the Earth Sage assistant next to her a hard push, hummed, and pulled Natalie towards the busiest area of ​​the business district. He ran, "Then let's set off quickly to get the gift, Natalie, to keep Brother Shitou far away!"

Natalie was a little confused. She tilted her head and looked at her teacher in confusion. Finally, she suppressed her vague feeling of strangeness and ran to keep up with her teacher.

After a brief interlude, the three of them quickly arrived at the most prosperous area of ​​Nome City's business district and successfully found the Nan Candle Workshop mentioned by Alina.

"Amazing…"

Looking at this tall building with a pointed dome that stood in front of her, Natalie couldn't help but exclaimed in wonder.

"This is the largest magic workshop on our continent in Olivia, called Nanzhu Workshop. It is a large-scale workshop that sells magic potions and other magic tools to magicians. In addition, there are things you haven't seen before. Another sage assistant in the Southern District of the Earth, Master Snow Lotus of Medicine, is the boss here. If everything goes well, we will be able to meet this mysterious Master Snow Lotus today."

Alina took out a special rune stone from her bag and patiently explained it to the students.

"Eh? Really? Then what kind of person is Master Xuelian?"

Hearing that she could meet a sage again today, Natalie's look of anticipation became even greater, and she couldn't help but ask one more question.

"Well..."

When Alina was about to say something, she saw the bells hanging on both sides of the archway in front of the three of them started ringing on their own without any warning. Before Natalie could scream in surprise and retreat with guilt, a woman wearing a long cyan skirt walked out of an inconspicuous door on the other side of the building with the continuous ringing of bells, came to the three of them, and spoke with three With a volume that only human beings can hear, he smiled politely but distantly: "You three have been waiting for a long time. Please come with me, Lady Suzulan, Lady Malvai, and this young lady."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman in a blue dress gathered some magic particles above her fingertips and injected them into the magic array on the edge of the arch. The [Invisibility] magic attached to the arch was released, revealing another person hidden behind the arch. The door.

Although the door was wide open, Natalie found that the person standing behind them had no intention of following them in. At first, she felt strange, but after she successfully passed the entrance, the door behind her seemed to have a sensor and automatically Closed access to the interior.

"Is this?" Looking at the strange scene behind her, Natalie couldn't help but cast a curious look at the teacher beside her.

"This is a special method that can render specific magic ineffective in a short period of time."

Alina explained briefly, while not forgetting to lead the students forward to prevent them from falling behind.

"Special means?"

Natalie still didn't quite understand, so she stood on tiptoes and asked again in a lower voice.

"Natalie, did you notice that the sister just now had special powder on her hand? It is precisely because of that powder that the magic circle on the door will temporarily lose its effect."

Seeing that the students didn't understand, Alina didn't feel angry and continued to explain patiently to the students who had just entered the magical world.

"So this is ah…"

After listening to the teacher's explanation, Natalie finally understood the mystery, nodded, and then slowly turned her attention to the neatly placed magic props around her, which made her feel very fresh.

"What about this?"

Seeing the hexagonal objects that were constantly changing colors and the square objects that were floating in the air and shining red light on the window cabinet not far away, Natalie curiously pointed in the direction of the two objects and asked in a low voice .

"These two are magic lamps. As long as you put a magic stone or inject magic power into them, you can make them light up. However, Mr. Snow Lotus is probably waiting for us now. Let's come back after we say hello to him. .”

After Alina patiently explained, she whispered in the student's ear with a hint of regret.

"Ah...I'm sorry..."

After the teacher reminded her, Natalie quickly retracted her gaze and lowered her head in shame.

"It's okay, Natalie. After all, this is your first time here. It's normal to be curious about the gadgets here." Alina smiled reassuringly and continued to comfort this overly timid little girl. , "Let's go shopping when we have time. Moreover, if Master Xuelian knew that you like this place so much, she would be very happy!"

"Um…"

Although Natalie still felt a little sorry, she still managed to keep her spirits up with the pure idea of ​​not causing trouble to the teacher and others, and continued to move forward closely with the teacher and others.

So the four of them continued walking, first to the first floor where the finished products were displayed, then to the second floor where the medicinal equipment was placed, then to the third floor where the processing was done, and finally stopped on the fourth floor where there were not many pedestrians.

Then, the female staff member who had led them the way first looked at the surrounding environment with vigilance, and after confirming that no unnecessary passers-by were following, she squatted down gently, filling in the inconspicuous space under her feet. The incomplete magic circle.

Following a flash of strong light, when they opened their eyes again, they were in a classical corridor with low vegetation planted on both sides and built with black and white stone bricks.

Listening to the sound of gurgling water pouring down from above the vegetation from time to time, Natalie followed the staff to a room at the deepest part of the corridor and knocked on the door in front of them.

"come in."

The people inside answered very plainly.

"Invite the three of you!"

After getting the answer, the staff member smiled at the three people behind her again and opened the door of the room gracefully.

Then the door to the room opened automatically with a creaking sound, and a refreshing aroma of herbs spread to the noses of several people with the flow of wind.

The owner of the room, a young man wearing a white robe, with black hair and green eyes, the master of Nanzhu Workshop, Medicine Snow Lotus, immediately stopped polishing the medicine powder in his hands and stood up gently from the wooden seat. He bowed politely to the others present: "Welcome to the South Candle Workshop. I am the owner of the workshop here, Evan Leander. Please give me your advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of bells hanging inside the room all made a clear tinkling sound, as if in response to the owner's welcome words. But the staff member who led the three people here earlier has disappeared...
