Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 13 Nome City and the Earth Sage Assistant in the Southern District of Earth
  "Wow…"

Feeling that the ancient architectural style in front of her was different from their Wind East District, Natalie was shocked and subconsciously murmured.

"This is Nome City, the main city of the Southern District of Earth." Alina, who seemed to have expected such a reaction from the students, just gently held the student's hand and led the student out of the dense crowd, and then While avoiding the eyes of pedestrians, he pointed to the endless mountains behind the town and further asked the students about their feelings, "How is it? Is it very different from the East District of the Wind where we live?"

"Ok!"

Natalie looked in the direction Alina pointed, and soon saw the ancient mountains towering in front of them.

"Although there are many such mountains around Nome City, the entire Earth South District is different. And the reason why this is the main city of the Earth South District is not only because the mountains behind it serve as a base for local residents. It provides good material conditions, especially because this land full of earthy atmosphere is the place where the earth element is the strongest. And the people here also love this land very much, just like the one over there. "

Where Alina looked, there was a stall selling handicrafts.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Looking at the lifelike stone carvings neatly placed on the counter by the vendors, Natalie's attention was once again attracted by new things.

"Right? The biggest difference between Earth South District and other areas is that they are better at using these little things that are easily overlooked in daily life to create their own lifestyle than people in other areas."

Alina continued to lead the students on this earthy street, while not forgetting to explain patiently.

"Um…"

Natalie nodded with some understanding, tried hard to look in the direction of the store, and then thought back to yesterday's experience in Sylph City. She compared them in her mind for a while, but in the end she couldn't figure out what the reason was.

Sensing the student's fiery gaze resting on the stall, Alina couldn't help but smile gently and asked in a low voice carefully: "Do you want the stone sculptures over there or are you thinking about what I just said? What about Nome City?"

"No...no..."

Natalie, who had her teacher see through her thoughts, couldn't help but blush on her face. She lowered her head in embarrassment. She was afraid of being scolded by the teacher and hurriedly shook her head in denial.

"That's it, then follow me to a place. The teacher knows someone who will be happy to take us to visit Nome City!"

Alina smiled mysteriously, and without revealing the little thoughts in the students' hearts, she led Natalie out of the business district on a familiar path and came to an area that was relatively not that lively.

"Here..." Natalie looked at the pattern engraved on the ocher yellow building door, hesitated for a while, and finally asked in a low voice, "Is this the administrative department of the Southern District of the Earth?"

"That's right," Alina nodded in confirmation, "Do you still remember the entrusted bottle yesterday? Today we will continue to write letters to the sages."

But obviously, Natalie was a little hesitant and did not directly step forward to find out like yesterday.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the strange behavior of the students, Alina couldn't help but be a little confused.

"Um...Teacher Alina..." Natalie looked at the teacher cautiously, stopped talking for a while, and continued to seek advice, "Do you think the sage from the Southern District of Earth will accept our commission from the Eastern District of Wind? ?"

"No problem, these eight people selected by the great sages have the same attitude towards people across the continent. As long as it is a well-intentioned entrustment, no matter where the entruster is from, they will do their best. Efforts to complete the commission issued by the principal."

With that said, Alina quickly took out a well-made envelope from the bag on her shoulder and handed it to Natalie.

"This is?"

Natalie tilted her head in confusion, hesitated, and did not accept it immediately.

"It's Lady Suzuran's reply to Natalie. I passed by the administrative area this morning and brought it to you." Alina curled her lips slightly, patted the student's shoulder and continued to encourage, "You can see the character." The unpredictable Orchid of the Valley has replied to you, and the sages of the Southern District of Earth will definitely reply to Natalie."

"Really, thank you, Lady Suzuran of the Wind..."

Natalie couldn't believe it. She carefully took the envelope and opened it. Just as the teacher said, she saw the beautiful and delicate lily of the valley seal in the lower right corner and a small line below the lily of the valley design representing the wind. Lily of the Valley's signature abbreviation 'A·C'.

Not only that, Lady Suzuran of the Wind also thoughtfully told her the secret to learning wind magic in her reply...
  Thinking of this, Natalie couldn't help but feel a burst of indescribable joy and excitement. She was happy alone for a while before she later realized that her teacher Alina seemed to have written a letter with her yesterday. Reply to the teacher?
  "What about you, teacher? Have you received a reply from Suzuran-sama?" Thinking of this, Natalie cautiously asked Alina about her reply.

"Yes, look!"

Seeing that the student was excited and not forgetting to care about her feelings, Alina smiled in a good mood. Under Natalie's nervous gaze, she took out an envelope with the same exquisite packaging from her bag and proudly handed it to Nathalie. Li's eyes swayed and she comforted.

"Great!" The moment she saw the envelope, Natalie couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, then showed a relieved smile and said with emotion, "It seems that the sages are really gentle..."

"Really, the teacher didn't lie to you?"

"Ok!"

Natalie nodded vigorously in agreement, and at the same time did not forget to put the letter paper back into the envelope with extra care, put the envelope away, and returned it to the teacher for safekeeping.

"Then let's quickly send a letter to the sage in the Southern District of the Earth."

Alina put away the envelope, curled her lips lightly again, and changed the topic again.

"it is good!"

With Lady Suzuran's example, Natalie slowly let go of her anxiety. Under the guidance of her teacher, she found the magic circle carved on the rock. According to yesterday's memory, she gently stood on tiptoes and leaned closer. , carefully and under the guidance of the teacher, slowly moved the two flowers and the top rock pattern to the center of the magic circle using wind elements.

As a burst of bright light appeared and disappeared, the rock on top moved, and an empty bottle suddenly fell from the gap between the two rocks.

"Careful, Natalie!"

Seeing that the bottle was about to hit the student, Alina quickly manipulated the wind element, wrapping a soft wind around Natalie's side, and at the same time slowed down the falling speed of the bottle, allowing the bottle to fall gently on Natalie's hand. .

"Thank you, Teacher Alina."

Natalie hugged the bottle and smiled and thanked her.

Alina breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time she was secretly making plans in her mind, and decided to find two sage assistants from the Southern District of the Earth in the near future to discuss their future plans.

"Let's go and prepare the materials for writing a letter!"

Simply burying this thought, Alina quickly put away the inhumane and gloomy expression on her face, put on her gentle smile again as if nothing had happened, took the student's hand and went straight to Nome City. Go to the business district to buy the corresponding bouquets needed to send letters.

After a brief interlude, the two successfully bought snowdrops and mallows from a nearby flower shop, which symbolized the two sage assistants in the Southern District of the Earth, and successfully completed the commissioning process.

As the magic circle in front of the two people absorbed the last trace of cyan wind element remaining on the magic circle, this time it was the rock on the other side to move, and the door to the administrative area was opened.

As the door opened, two people walked out of it. One was a brown-haired man wearing a white cloak and glasses, exuding a friendly and intellectual temperament. The other was a black man who looked at some strangers who should not approach him. Clothes for women.

The first was the woman, who took out the letter paper corresponding to Snow Lotus from the bottle in Natalie's hand in a formal manner, nodded briefly and left.

"Now I can finally talk properly."

After seeing the woman who exuded an aura of being difficult to get along with left, the man in the delicate white cloak seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and let go of his tense expression until just now.

"Yes, after all, being caught by them in pigtails is a very troublesome thing. I hope Ivan can properly reply to my student's letter." Alina, who understood the meaning of the man's words, also sighed helplessly, and immediately As if to dispel this unpleasant topic, he changed the subject, pushed Natalie, who was timidly hiding behind him, in front of her, and introduced generously to the young man opposite: "Long time no see, Mr. Mallow, let me introduce you. , this is my student Natalie."

"Hello, little Natalie, I am the sage assistant of the Southern District of the Earth, Mallow of the Earth, Blair Clark. Nice to meet you."

She quickly exchanged a look with Alina next to the girl. She looked at the very scholarly Assistant of the Sage of the Southern District of the Earth, the Mallow of the Earth, Blair Clark, and then she bent down and faced him with a kind smile. The timid little girl held out her hand and said hello.
