Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 462 Mist Adventure·The last level before the banquet

"Natalie, what happened just now? Ives and I just lined up and were discussing whether to change places with you. We found that you were missing. How are you? Are you not injured? Nothing strange happened. Something, right?"

Alert checked her surroundings and confirmed that she didn't feel anything unusual. Only then did Salister feel relieved and asked Natalie, who seemed a little confused.

"Nothing, just thinking about some issues...!"

After looking around her surroundings and seeing that other people were either queuing or chatting, but showed no abnormality, Natalie shook her head slightly.

"Okay, let's go meet Avis now, shall we? While he helps us occupy a position."

"Um…"

Natalie nodded slightly, and while holding Sally's hand tightly, she very carefully and attentively followed her, avoiding the crowds of people arriving one after another, and reached the end of the line.

"Nothing happened?"

Seeing Natalie being brought back by Salister unharmed, Avis breathed a sigh of relief and gave up his position to the two of them.

"No, what about you? Is there anything unusual happening?"

Salister shook her head slightly, and then without any refusal, she led Natalie directly to the position where Avis was standing just now.

"Is this really good?"

Seeing Sallysette standing in the queue without any psychological burden, Natalie couldn't help but shrink her neck with guilt and quietly expressed her uneasiness about jumping in line.

"Don't worry, everyone around us knows that we and Ives are partners, so we didn't jump in line. Since we didn't jump in line, there is no place for others to point out, right, Ives?"

Sallysette replied quite firmly.

"right…"

Being asked to answer unexpectedly, Avis's smile froze, and he finally nodded guiltily.

"I see…!"

Seeing that Master Haitang also expressed her attitude, Natalie had no choice but to force herself not to care about the discomfort and began to look at the surrounding environment.

Gorgeous and exquisite velvet carpets, stone columns with exquisitely carved patterns, and crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling...

Huh?
  If she remembered correctly, they should have been outside that beautiful house just now. Why does the environment feel different now?

"Um...Master Haitang, Miss Salister, why do I feel that the surrounding environment has changed...?"

After closing her eyes hard, she found that the environment still hadn't changed. Natalie finally made up her mind, turned slightly, raised her head carefully and asked the two people behind her.

"This is a special kind of magic. As long as the number of people within this range reaches a certain number, we will be automatically teleported to the outer area of ​​the banquet occasion."

But the person who answered her was not the two people she knew, but a man who felt very strange to Natalie.

Who?
  Natalie couldn't help feeling panicked, and hurriedly moved closer to where Salister was. “Sir, it’s not polite to intervene in other people’s topics!”

Noticing Natalie's abnormality, Ives quickly stepped forward, stood between Natalie and the man, and watched warily at the man who showed no abnormality from his expression.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I just happened to hear your question. If my behavior just now caused you trouble, I am willing to apologize for my behavior just now."

"It turns out you are not locals. No wonder. I was really embarrassed just now. Miss, I would like to apologize to you for my lack of etiquette."

As he spoke, the strange man immediately consciously distanced himself from the three of them, and used the etiquette he knew to try to make himself look formal and bowed.

"Okay, Natalie, since he also apologized, shall we forgive him?"

After taking a cold glance at the nearby crowd of onlookers who had gathered due to the commotion, Salister then put away her frightened expression and smiled to comfort Natalie.

"OK…"

As a result, this queuing episode ended like this.

Next, neither Sallysette nor the strange man who was obviously curious about them tried to talk again. It was not until the waiter at the banquet called a few people that the atmosphere was relieved.

"Good evening, ladies, please show your invitations to the banquet."

Watching the gentleman in front of them submit the invitation letter and successfully enter the venue, Natalie, who had just calmed down a little, couldn't help but become tense.

Invitation card?

If she remembered correctly, they had just seen the notice for the banquet in the afternoon. They even found the dresses for the banquet in a hurry, let alone the invitation...

"Please look."

Just when Natalie was at a loss, Sallysette, who was supposed to be beside her, stepped forward at some point.

Not only that, he quite calmly took out three envelopes engraved with the names of three people and a emblem of a carrier pigeon and an olive branch from the pocket of his dress, and handed them to the waiter with a smile.

"Please come in, distinguished gentlemen and ladies."

He carefully used magic to confirm the authenticity of the invitation, and found that there was no abnormality in the magic circle. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his previous humble and polite posture, facing the three people including Avis. He bowed deeply and made an invitation gesture.

At this point, Natalie finally understood why people had to queue up to enter banquets in this world. It turned out to be because magic had to be used to confirm the authenticity of everyone's invitations.

Speaking of the invitation letter, Natalie clearly remembered that this senior Salister had not left all afternoon. How did she get the invitation letter?
  As soon as such doubts appeared in her mind, she quickly gave up the idea, gathered her thoughts, and forced herself to look away.

"Natalie, are you wondering about the invitation?" Sensing Natalie's cautious gaze and then quickly looking away, Salister first smiled, then lowered her voice and replied in a low voice. , "That's what I just used transformation magic to disguise. You know, I have been with you all this afternoon, and it was too late to get the invitation, so I could only use transformation magic to temporarily forge three copies based on the observations just now." Of course, you don’t have to worry, I’ve added a strong change effect to it, so we probably don’t have to worry about being cheated on until the banquet officially ends!”

As soon as they finished speaking, not only Natalie, but also Avis, who was trying to remain silent behind them and did not ask any unnecessary questions, could not help but reveal a stiff smile with a guilty conscience...
