Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 700 The past that should not exist
  After a moment of deliberate silence, Alina ended her short thinking and nodded calmly.

"It seems that you are not surprised by this result."

Noticing that the other party's expression was extremely calm, and it seemed that there were few changes in emotions, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' was briefly confused, but was not surprised and smiled lowly, which was considered to be recognition of the ability of the contract partner.

"Of course, after all, it's not difficult for me to understand these things now," Ai once again deliberately left a period of time for the other party to continue his words. Seeing that the ancient strong man still didn't mention the purpose of his sudden search for her this time, Ai Lina was not in a hurry and continued to advance the topic between the two according to her preset plan, "What about the other 'special people'? I am very curious about the position of other 'special people' in your era."

"Basically, it's not much different from what you see. The 'special ones' are always the ones who are respected, but they only have one advantage."

After quietly glancing at the contract partner behind him who was waiting patiently for him to reveal his true intentions, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' calmly withdrew his gaze and answered patiently.

"So, the New Night School is like this too, right?"

Unexpectedly, Alina secretly wrote down this answer in her heart. After thinking about it, Alina immediately drew a playful yet meaningful smile. She deliberately did not mention how much she knew about the Xinye School and asked firmly and calmly.

"You don't need to be so guarded against me. I do have my own purpose in signing a contract with each contractor, but please don't worry, this will not involve those of you who can come here."

Instead of answering Alina's direct question as before, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' immediately changed his attitude after confirming that the subject did know something about the 'New Night School', and slowly turned around, calmly But he looked at the contract partner a few steps away with some intimidation.

"In that case, why did you hide something when we last met? I don't think that existence at our level is worthy of your precautions."

Alina felt no fear at all. Just like before, she met the threatening gaze of the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' firmly and calmly.

"It was not necessary before." Without giving Alina, who was instantly exposed to her doubts in front of him, time to think, the 'Chaos Hermit' immediately retracted her somewhat stern gaze and continued, "But it is a pity that those who are not qualified The contract partners who come here seem to have limited abilities, so I can only consider you before things completely deteriorate."

"But I feel like you only intend to issue this commission to me alone?"

Quickly calming down the surprise and alertness caused by the answer to that small part of her doubts, Alina immediately ended her thinking and made the confirmation in a half-joking manner.

"If you can't handle it either, I'll consider the rest."

After taking a brief look at the contract partner, whose mentality had indeed changed greatly compared to before, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' finally did not choose to hide it, and gave a firm answer tactfully.

"Then I'm really pitiful. My treatment seems to be only slightly better than that of the actual peripheral members?"

As she spoke, Alina immediately raised her hand and used two fingers to mark a height that was only the length of one finger knuckle. The already empty hall suddenly fell into a wordless silence.
  Two or three seconds later, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' quickly restrained the surprise that he had just been unable to restrain, and returned to calmness and continued: "But you also have the ability to complete it, don't you?"

Before the junior could test him again, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' added again: "On the one hand, I believe you have the ability to handle this matter. On the other hand, you are also more suitable than them to handle this matter. Of the remaining two people, one is in a similar state to me. He is restricted by the [Laws] and cannot easily leave certain areas. The other has been out of touch with this era for too long. Let them take action, and we can indeed use the fastest speed. It solves the problem, but it also creates new problems. I don’t want to see that happen if I can.”

"Thank you for your compliment. You can describe the specific commission."

Quietly writing down the qualifying words mentioned by the other party, Alina quickly retracted her thoughts and made a gesture of invitation with a smile.

"Then let's start with your previous question." The 'Chaos Hermit' didn't object. He went directly back to the 'New Night School' question that Alina mentioned before, and answered calmly, "Yes, you can do this. It is said that in that era, or even earlier, members of the 'New Night School' had a very high status in the area where the school belonged.

"I know."

After speaking, Alina tacitly took out a card with complex patterns engraved on it and showed it to the two of them.

"Okay, here is the exam schedule for the next day that I got first. If necessary, you can take a look here. Of course, it is best not to disclose it to others."

But as you saw that day, the New Night School at that time was actually not unified. Although members of both factions swore loyalty in front of the 'root', the members of the other side were more interested in using the oath to explore the world. Another essence. My faction and I do not approve of their actions, but I will not easily judge their ideas.

And that faction is filled with some extreme people. Not only do they believe that everything in the world that is outside the control of the Source is wrong, but they also try in a self-destructive way to figure out why those wrongs exist. After the Final Battle, although the entire 'New Night School' no longer existed, some of the ideas of those extreme people were still secretly passed down. I don’t know exactly how those taboos were passed down. I only confirmed this during the subsequent investigation..."

Noticing Alina's raising of hands, the 'Chaos Hermit Monk' stopped the story at the right time, replaced words with his eyes, and signaled the other party to ask questions.

If it were a few months ago, he believed that he would have answered without hesitation that he didn't care, but after this period of getting along, he began to realize that his forced smile could not hide the team leader in front of him.

Although even if he really answered out of politeness that he didn't care, the other party would respond equally politely, but he also knew very well that the senior did not want to hear such an answer.

"Since you had confirmed this matter at that time, why didn't you try to solve the problem? Although this will bring you some trouble, it is still more cost-effective than letting things get worse, isn't it?"

Without delay, Alina quickly made her own confirmation inquiry.
