Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 322 The bad news after the fog

The next morning, Natalie woke up to the sound of noisy discussion in the corridor.

She opened her eyes in confusion and grabbed the mini clock on the bedside table. Seeing that it was only 6 o'clock, she became increasingly confused as to why it was so noisy outside at such an early time.

"Teacher Alina..."

She subconsciously looked at the bed next door, trying to find traces of the teacher. As a result, the bed next door was empty. Except for the snow-white bedding that was not particularly neat, which proved to her that someone had been lying here before, there was nothing else, not even a single person. Not a hair remains.

"not here…?"

Natalie looked back with some disappointment, but she didn't feel unhappy or angry about it. She was just purely disappointed that when she woke up, the whole room was empty and she was the only one left.

……

"Sir, what happened?"

Yes, as Natalie saw, after hearing the noise outside the door, Alina had already changed her clothes, quietly left the room where she was, and came to the vicinity of the noisy sound in the hotel. Asked the hotel owner about the whole story.

"That's right, madam, just last night, a rare fog phenomenon occurred in the town of Celia. The information I have received so far shows that two guests in the hotel have disappeared into the fog."

The hotel owner replied with a sigh. It was obvious that neither his expression nor the tone of his voice were as enthusiastic and cheerful as when we first met him yesterday evening.

"Does this happen in other places too?"

After a somewhat ineffective comfort, Alina immediately restrained her somewhat sad expression and asked solemnly.

The boss was stunned for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mood and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, not only in my hotel, but also in many areas of the town, and even in the homes of some residents, there have been cases where a certain member has appeared without any trace. The phenomenon of signs disappearing.”

"Then what did they do before they disappeared? Have you ever asked the companions of those passengers?"

Alina calmly touched the 'Star Lighthouse' in her pocket, and then continued to ask.

"After asking, a gentleman gave the answer that several other friends with him went to a nearby tavern to drink. Since he was not very drunk, he did not stay there for too long and returned before twelve o'clock. ”

The boss recalled what he heard from one of the passengers this morning and did not dare to hesitate in answering the woman in front of him who looked very young but had an unimaginable calm and calm temperament.

"What about the other group of guests?"

Alina nodded lightly in understanding and continued to ask.

"The other group of customers wanted to go out for a walk because that customer couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, but..."

Noticing the sad gaze of the missing guest, the hotel owner did not continue speaking, but silently shook his head in place of the unspoken answer.

"Are they all foreign tourists?" Even though she knew the possibility was very low, Alina still cautiously confirmed again.

"Yes, both groups of people are customers traveling here for the first time. After all..."

The hotel owner wanted to say something subconsciously. As long as he was an aborigine in the town, it was impossible to ignore the folklore. He realized the presence of other guests, but he could only stop the rest of his words.

"Oh! Eli just went out for a walk. Who can tell me why this happened to him! How I wish it was me and not him who encountered that kind of thing. He still has so many ideals that he has not yet accomplished. Seeing our little Eddie grow up and not complete his first real collection of poems, and not take me to travel to every corner of the continent..."

But the middle-aged female passenger seemed to have noticed the movement here. The woman who had tried her best to remain calm was finally overwhelmed and sobbed softly.

As if infected by the emotions of the woman here, the male passenger on the other side lowered his head in self-reproach, and kept clenching and unclenching his hands, as if he wanted to vent his guilt and sadness in this way.

"Ugh……"

Seeing the different sad looks of the two groups of guests, the hotel owner looked away guiltily and turned all his feelings into a long sigh.

"Did similar situations occur in the past in the fog?"

Quietly casting [Wind Breath] magic on everyone nearby, Alina also calmed down her emotions and continued to ask questions calmly.

"Yes." Thinking that the lady was holding him accountable, the boss panicked for a while and hurriedly described his personal experience in an attempt to clear away his suspicions in this way, "But the fog in the past has certain precursors, either. Either the astrological platform showed a bad omen, or the door of blessing that protects us activated itself because it sensed the omen. However, this time, neither the astrological platform nor the door of blessing sent any omen in advance."

"Don't be nervous. I know this has nothing to do with you. This is something other residents in the town can also attest to."

Realizing that her words seemed to arouse a bad reaction, Alina felt helpless and at the same time added a [Breath of Wind] magic to calm down the unstable emotions of the passengers on both sides.

"Then what should I do next?"

Seeing that the other party did not doubt him, the hotel owner couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the young lady for help with a very contradictory look, with both expectation and fear of disappointment.

"First take care of all the passengers in the hotel and inform them not to leave the hotel until the mayor sends news. If such a big thing happens, the mayor and others will definitely be alert, and the first thing they should do is Confirm whether there are still abnormalities in the town of Selia after the fog."

After looking around the environment on the first floor of the hotel, Alina nodded slightly to the two passengers, then took out the folding fan given to her by the Wind Sage from the temporary storage bracelet, and made a One-hand push-down gesture.

"Okay, I will try my best," the hotel owner agreed subconsciously, and then, as if he had thought of something, with the help of this unique folding fan, he asked with some uncertainty, "Sorry, miss, I have the liberty to ask, Are you Mr. Suzuki Lan who hosted the seminar before?"

"I will not leave until the matter is settled, and during this period I will do my best to investigate their whereabouts."

Putting away the folding fan and lightly nodding to the two passengers, Alina left these words and returned to the upper floor of the hotel, leaving behind the astonished hotel owner and the two people in different states, but already The travelers who slowly regained some calmness and hope were still looking at the direction in which the sage assistant leader was leaving, unable to regain their consciousness for a long time...
