Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 670 Turnaround after adversity
  "It's time to get busy with your own affairs."

After silently leaving some useful information to this junior, Alina then withdrew her attention and began to think about how she should face the wise man who was said to have managed the complex interpersonal relationships in the Water North District for no less than forty years. Sir.

Of course, if she was simply experienced and experienced, she would not find it troublesome or even find it difficult to cope with it. Because both she and Mr. Hobert knew very well that such additional tutoring was just a transaction. She could not get the true recognition of the man, and it was impossible for the man to truly trust her and turn the entire continent The reins of order were given to her.

It is precisely because of this position that she also understands that how much experience she can gain from the Sage of Water depends entirely on her speaking skills. She must firmly grasp that degree. Only in this way can she guarantee Get as much information as possible on your own and increase the time you spend studying.

"Well, if the teacher could move more easily, I might not need to face such troublesome things,"

Sighing, Alina still did not go against the wishes of the former sage's assistant, and finally went to the Hobert Mansion in Undine City.

  After a brief knock on the door, Alina no longer leaned against the wall casually as usual. Instead, she carefully adjusted her clothes and put on her glasses, waiting for a response from behind the fence.

"This way, please, Suzuran-senpai."

After a while, the closed door opened with a creak, and a young man with brilliant blond hair and a cheerful smile appeared in front of Alina, and bowed to Alina in a standard manner.

"Thank you."

Without saying a word or even mentioning her name, Alina returned the greeting very cautiously, and then followed the other person through the corridors to the place where the current Water Sage Hayden Hobert was. Love the garden in front of the lounge.

"Grandpa, Lord Suzuran is here."

During this process, Stanley actually wanted to ask the reason for the sudden visit of the senior who seemed to be easy to get along with. However, considering the repeated warnings of the Water Sage, he finally did not ask, feeling a little puzzled but helpless. accepted the reality.

"Let her in."

Following an old but powerful word, the door that was closed in front of the two people immediately opened on its own, revealing a room decorated with many bright flowers, with butterflies stationed on the flower stamens from time to time, making people feel as if Unique reception room set in a beautiful garden.

"Please, Suzuran-senpai."

The moment the door to the garden reception room opened, Stanley made a standard invitation gesture to the lady next to him, indicating that she could enter directly.

Of course, during this process, he actually wanted to show off the unique charm of this garden reception room, but after noticing the slightly warning gaze of the Water Sage, he finally instinctively restrained himself from doing so. On impulse, he gave up the home court to his grandfather.

"Please sit down, what do you think of this place?"

Watching his grandson carefully close the door and leave, Water Sage Hayden Holbert nodded lightly and asked casually while inviting the visitor to take a seat.

"It's very beautiful," Alina first praised the layout of the garden reception room from the bottom of her heart, and then continued to comment without any hesitation as if she had already made a draft, "But from my personal point of view "For me, this is not necessary." "But as a small member of the entire world, isn't it a good thing to have some personal pursuits?" The water sage first asked in a kind manner, and then saw the sofa opposite. The junior who came up did not refute, and the smile on his face couldn't help but become softer, "So Alina, what is your pursuit? What is the reason that allows you to persist even across a long period of time?"

"My pursuit," facing the question posed by the Water Sage with a smile, Alina chuckled lightly. Just when she noticed that the eyes of the Water Sage opposite her became darker, she continued in a calm tone. He replied, "Witness, I want to witness the past, present, and even future development."

"why?"

The Water Sage asked without any signs of abnormality. Both his facial expression and his tone of voice perfectly showed the demeanor of an ideal elder who patiently listens to the younger generation, making it impossible to find faults or opportunities to speculate.

"The present and the future do not belong to me, so I can only choose to witness rather than interfere with them."

When saying this, Alina appropriately expressed her unwillingness and helplessness. At the same time, she also played the role of a gatekeeper who has certain ambitions but has to give up some of her beliefs due to practical responsibilities.

"So, if there is an opportunity in the future, would you be willing to be the future helmsman?"

The Water Sage continued to examine the junior opposite him with a smile, but also did not show any more emotions.

"I won't," Alina gave a firm negative attitude at first, and then added in detail when the sage's eyes changed slightly, "Since I chose 'past', then I won't To interfere with a future that does not belong to me."

"I'm very pleased that you have a very clear position for yourself." After listening to Alina's answer, the Water Sage nodded appreciatively, and then said with some sadness, "But such persistence may not be a thing. Good thing, I believe you understand what I mean. In fact, what you lack is not ability, but decisiveness when making important decisions."

Without waiting for the junior opposite to express his opinion, Water Sage Hayden Hobert smiled and made a downward gesture with one hand: "I have some matters that need to be decided here. You can practice with them. In three days, If you still can’t find the answer, you can come back to me.”

As he spoke, the Water Sage stood up, took out a stack of letters engraved with different family emblems from a drawer not far away, and placed them gently on the small table in front of Alina, and nodded gently with a warm smile. Click.

"The Maxwell family, the Claude family, the Agia family..." Alina silently recited the family names corresponding to the badges on the envelope, and smiled with a slightly complicated expression, "Don't worry, you can leave these to me. ?”

"Compared with the safety of Randall and Nome City, some of their small demands are not worth mentioning, are they?"

Faced with the junior's hesitation, the Water Sage responded with words that were calm but had the temperament of a superior.

Of course, he knew very well that what he really wanted to express with his words was that since Alina was willing to hand over the safety of Randall and even Nome City to Avis, then as an elder who supports Avis, he would not be stingy. Give her the trust she deserves.

　I think I need to calm down, sort out the playlist, and only keep a few necessary software from tomorrow on, and finish the chapters I owe you as soon as possible. That’s all.
