Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 83 Responsibilities of the Arbitrator
  "But..." Erin, who had witnessed Jocelyn's powerful magic level with her own eyes, was about to say something else, but was shaken by those determination-filled eyes, and finally swallowed back those unseemly and cowardly words, feeling a little confused. Zaza nodded in agreement: "Okay, please leave it to me!"

"Then it's all your fault, Irene." Philos put on his coat, which symbolized the supreme leader of the Arbiter. The moment he stepped out of the office door, he did not forget to look back and remind: "Remember, we Arbiters will eventually His only tasks are guarding the gate and mediating large-scale conflicts."

"Yes, Lord Philos!"

Erin nodded in agreement again, took the official seal thrown by her boss, suppressed the mixed feelings in her heart, and went in the opposite direction to her boss to continue her work.

Yes, as her boss said, their arbiter's tasks over the years have only been the two tasks she was assigned by her boss. As for what they mentioned before, the key that holds the prisoners' ability to escape from imprisonment is not kept by them at all. The reason why she came forward to stop the person who was trying to get the key, apart from some personal feelings in her boss's heart, the rest was just a cover-up to further cooperate with the false information deliberately spread by the official.

Moreover, regardless of whether she cooperates with the official or not, it should be impossible for her boss to give up this act of acting as cannon fodder, especially after what happened to Mr. Yugiri.

Therefore, if there is a situation where you cannot defeat the opponent, don't force yourself, Lord Philos.

Seeing her boss's back gradually getting smaller and finally disappearing into nothing, Irene put away the seal before leaving and said her last prayer.

Philos, who didn't know that his subordinates were worried about him, was waiting warily in front of the gate responsible for entering and exiting this special prison. With a serious expression, he was thinking about the names of the key targets of surveillance that he had been told by his teacher, trying to find out some information from them. Some clues about the unknown enemy.

An eleven or twelve-year-old girl with blue hair and a high concentration of water element affinity.

Philos carefully checked the important information that was given to him in his memory, and even did not forget to take out the booklet he carried with him to look for relevant information.

However, there is no one who fits the above characteristics.

What's going on? This intelligence booklet is the latest information he got after visiting countless territories in this prison. For such a strong man, he should have already registered it. How could...

whoosh-

As the bullet narrowly missed him by just a few centimeters, Philos had no choice but to close the book in his hand and raised his eyes solemnly to face the direction of the attack ahead.

"Is that you? The arbiter leader who holds the key!"

Qiaoceline put away the pistol she had just used as a deterrent and stared at the gentle young man in front of her who did not look like a combatant.

"That's right. Although I don't know where you came from as a newcomer, if you try to break the unspoken rules between us, I will never allow it!"

Philos put away the booklet in his hand, put it into the inner pocket of his coat, and then threw it together with the coat that symbolized his identity several meters away from him, getting into a fighting stance, ready to respond to possible attacks at any time. .

"What, you, a weakling like you, don't seem to be good at fighting. To send people like you here to do this kind of work that requires fighting and killing, I didn't expect the officials from Olivia Continent. Are we already so short of manpower?”

Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him did not immediately start the overwhelming attack as he thought, but instead made this comment quite disapprovingly.

"so what?"

Facing the obvious contempt in the enemy's words, Philos didn't seem surprised. He just asked a question calmly and said nothing more. "So, hand over the keys quickly, and I will save you some trouble!" As if she was afraid that the other party would still hesitate, the girl Jocelyn Lifford did not forget to add the latest information she learned to increase the negotiation. Chip: "When I came here on the way, I also learned that the only tasks that you, the arbiter, were actually assigned to were guarding the forbidden door and guarding this special space with hidden dangers. The reason why you were assigned the task of guarding the key, It’s all just the wishful thinking of those hateful officials! So, since you haven’t clearly constrained our position, why do you still do things like this that don’t get half the benefits!”

"I don't know if I am forced to take care of the keys, but I just need to know that if I let any of you ignore the rules, it would be a dereliction of duty on my part."

Philos was also not to be outdone, and responded with a firm tone, voluntarily giving up this great opportunity that could have allowed him to survive, and resolutely embarked on a road of no return that might lead to no return.

"Really, that means you refuse to hand over the key? That's fine, I just hate this kind of tortuous negotiation!"

Qiaoceline sneered, and immediately pulled out the jet-black pistol that she had put away not long ago, pulled the trigger, and fired a bullet to completely terminate the peaceful negotiation method that she did not like.

Feeling the powerful magic energy contained in the bullet through the air, Philos felt nervous and decisively chose to dodge by moving his body instead of recklessly setting up a defensive magic circle for useless resistance.

"The reaction is not bad, but at this level, it is not enough to stop me!"

Qiaoceline commented lightly, gripped the pistol and quickly pulled the trigger. She released several rounds of bullets one after another while running forward wildly, closing the distance, intending to seize this gap and cause an unexpected and substantial blow to the opponent.

However, the other party just calmly picked up his long sword as a weapon, waved the long sword in his hand, and bounced off the bullets that were approaching him but did not explode. Then he bounced the bullets just right as if he had expected it. After flying all the bullets, he raised his sword horizontally and blocked Qiaocelin's sneak attack.

"hateful!"

Qiaoceline cursed secretly and quickly distanced herself from the other party to ensure that she, who was unprepared, would not be hit by the other party's attacks.

"Is that true? I seem to know the reason why Lake can be defeated by you!"

After a brief truce, Philos, who sensed the new wave of attacks, raised his sword again, mobilized the magic power in his body, and began to activate the magic spells attached to the sword, and calmly resolved the array that was enough to tear his sword body apart. The terrifying power.

After slowly regaining control of this round, Philos turned slightly to avoid dealing with the girl, then quickly turned his hand and swung a long, sharp slash, successfully forcing the girl back. Seeing that the girl's attack failed again, Philos secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from the long absence of serious fighting, and forced a smile in response.

"So what, you will be defeated by me in the end anyway, so if you don't want to be like those people, just hand over the key obediently!"

Seeing that her attack was neutralized again, Qiaoceline couldn't help but be a little surprised. She felt regretful for a moment that she had underestimated the gentle man in front of her. Then she started to run her brain while running and wandering, trying her best to Think about the current strategy that can quickly defeat the opponent by surprise.

"This is not okay. I said it would be my dereliction of duty if I let any of you ignore the rules."

After confirming that the opponent was not planning to attack rashly, Philos stabilized his center of gravity, took a deep breath, and repositioned himself to attack.

"Really? Then go ahead, I hope you won't regret your naivety!"

With this in mind, Qiaocelin's eyes sharpened, she once again approached the man blocking her progress, and began to plan her next attack...
