Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 346 A new accident before dawn

"Is it really okay?"

Looking back at the increasingly smaller rooms behind her uneasily, Natalie finally expressed her inner worries.

"No problem, just like Mr. Haitang said before, he won't force himself."

As she spoke, Alina showed a gentle and friendly smile, and used the [Breath of Wind] magic to once again try to dispel the students' worries.

Of course, she knew very well that these were just words of comfort. In fact, she was not completely sure that Ives would give up the analysis completely.

I hope that the experience of the 'Astrological Instructor' can bring him some lessons, so that he will not take radical measures in the face of danger.

Speaking of which, it seems that he has not come to see her again since assisting her in the investigation yesterday morning. Maybe there is no new information, or something else happened.

Thinking like this, she reached into her coat pocket worriedly, trying to use the 'Star Lighthouse' to divine whether the other party would break their promise and rashly break off the cooperation.

The resulting astrolabe showed no obvious anomalies.

So, instead of breaking her promise, what was the reason why she didn't show up to get information after learning that I entered the bottom of the lake for the second time?
  Alina subconsciously made a guess, but she didn't realize that she had followed her instincts and led the student out of the hotel.

At this time, Natalie was looking at her with worried eyes.
  "Are you okay? Teacher Alina?"

Natalie turned her head and asked in a low voice, lacking confidence.

"Well, it's okay, I'm just doing some research." When asked by the student, Alina immediately put away the confusion and concentration on her face, and skillfully weaved corresponding excuses to convince the student, "You know, yesterday Master Haitang used special star magic in the afternoon, and I was just wondering if there was a way to harness the power of the stars without resorting to external objects, so as to better help us filter intelligence."

"What's the result?"

Natalie, who didn't get any more emotions from the teacher's face, breathed a sigh of relief and then asked about the outcome of the matter.

"Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to activate the power of the stars without carrying props yet," Alina first spread her hands with regret, but soon she realized that such uncertain words would arouse the students' hearts again. Hidden worries, she further added based on the previous words, "However, through the attempt just now, I also became more familiar with astrology magic, which significantly improved my divination range and divination accuracy. Just For example, if I want to use astrology magic to divine whether there is danger nearby, I don’t need to use a wide range of ritual magic, and I can sense the corresponding abnormalities from the changes in the props.”

While speaking, Alina took out the 'Star Lighthouse', held up the astrolabe with one hand in the standard action of an astrologer, and silently recited the corresponding divination sentences, closed her eyes, and tried to communicate with the ethereal stars. Arouse the power of those stars and let them form corresponding pictures or other corresponding feedback revelations.

As she finished mumbling to herself, the dim astrolabe suddenly floated upward on its own, blooming with a thick mysterious purple light on the surface of the astrolabe.

Just when Alina was puzzled and puzzled by this, the astrolabe that suddenly bloomed with purple light shrank inward strangely, turning into a light stream of light and blending into the astrolabe pointer.

Immediately afterwards, before Alina could search for relevant memories, the 'Star Lighthouse' that was supposed to be stationary suddenly returned to her hand, and pointed clearly to the left, which was something she had never heard of. Therefore, although she had managed to restrain some emotions in front of the students, it was not until the moment when the abnormality actually arrived that she realized that all this was in vain and that her skills in this area still needed to be improved.

So, what could be the sudden anomaly that occurred in the ‘Star Lighthouse’ just now?
  She tried to make some guesses, but as she was almost a layman in the field of astrology, she felt extremely helpless at this moment. She could only judge based on her small amount of knowledge that purple was not a good omen, and she needed to deal with it as soon as possible.

Could it be that these two days of testing caused the changes at the bottom of the lake?
  This was Alina's first reaction.

But soon, such an idea was rejected by herself, because if it was really the anomaly caused by her two trials, the entire town of Celia would not have been stable until now. Whether it was the town mayor or the hotel owner, They should all tell her as soon as possible. There is no reason and it is impossible to hide this.

As if her thoughts were confirmed, an extremely unusual wind suddenly blew in the deserted streets around her.

It didn't blow up anything, and it didn't take them away. It was just like a hasty traveler passing by, saying hello to everyone, and then leaving in a hurry.

This is not something that needs to be taken care of or be wary of. It can be thought of the characteristics of the abnormal fog at the beginning. To be cautious, Alina did not stay hastily. She directly grabbed the student's wrist again and returned without any pause. He walked into the hotel behind the two of them.

It was too late, but it was fast. Shortly after Alina hurriedly took Natalie back to the hotel lobby using short-distance [teleportation], the fog that had not appeared for two days suddenly filled the street outside the window.

"fog…"

As soon as the words representing fear and terror were spoken, Natalie felt an indescribable force covering her mouth and blindfolding her.

"Don't look, let's go upstairs together to find Mr. Haitang?"

Trying to keep her expression calm, Alina comforted the student in a soft tone.

"Um…"

Recalling those people who disappeared in the fog, Natalie immediately nodded heavily, followed the teacher quickly back to the floor where their room was, and knocked lightly on the door of Ivis' room.

However, after a knock on the door, there was no response from the room, not even a word of approval for their entry.

What's wrong? Why didn't Mr. Haitang reply? Was there a new accident?
  Shouldn't it?
  After all, the previous boss and the mayor have said that as long as you don’t try to leave the magic barrier, you will not encounter unexpected dangers. And it is impossible for Mr. Haitang to leave the magic barrier this morning. How could he encounter Accident?
  But if there was no accident, why didn't he reply? This was very different from Mr. Haitang's usual, so something had happened, right?

Natalie tried to convince herself, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy and scared she became. And just when she was gradually enveloped by inner uneasiness and fear, little did she know that at this moment, the teacher beside her had already put on a solemn and gloomy expression...
