Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 263 follow-up plan

Who?
  Being caught off guard and being tapped on the shoulder, Ives felt nervous and hurriedly gathered magic elements in his hands, planning to counterattack as soon as the opponent made a move.

However, the person who tapped him on the shoulder stepped back some distance at this moment, to a position several steps away from him. At the same time, Ives had a chance to see the features of the person.

She has long blue hair that hangs freely like the sky, a black magician's robe that looks a little mature but perfectly matches her temperament, and a pair of blue eyes that are a little forbearing but a little anxious.

Such a combination could tap him on the shoulder so unscrupulously. Although he couldn't believe that the other party would come to him, Ives still relied on his excellent thinking to turn around and proactively asked:
  "Miss Lifford, why are you here?"

This question is very low-level, but I asked it based on the most basic vigilance.

"Because Miss Arinor and Miss Syndra are still around."

Not paying attention to the alert look cast by the young man, Qiaoceline calmly answered as if she had been prepared.

"I think this is not the main purpose of your reminding me like this."

Extraordinary calmness when facing the other party. Ives also calmly responded with a faint smile. The girl seemed to have no problem, but in fact, he continued to confirm the girl's identity and position in this indirect way.

"Tsk, you are really difficult to deal with. I know that Miss Arinor used the breath of wind magic yesterday afternoon." Faced with the young man's temptation, Qiaoceline still looked rude and continued to respond appropriately.

"Okay, Miss Lifford, did you find anything when you were chasing clues before?"

Seeing the girl give a magic that only the three of them knew, Avis' tense heart immediately relaxed.

So, without further wasting time, Avis immediately asked what he was most concerned about.

"Can I ask a question first? Maxwell."

However, Qiaoceline did not answer his question, but unexpectedly raised her request.

"please say."

Avis was stunned for a rare moment, and then, with due courtesy, he made a gesture of invitation.

"Why did the Wood Committee come here?"

After looking around her surroundings to make sure that no one was paying attention to their conversation, Qiaocelin felt relieved and asked somewhat harshly.

Ives smiled reluctantly, and then truthfully explained the mysterious disappearance of the three previous committee members.

"Then do you think that Commissioner Wood can be trusted?"

Qiaocelin nodded slightly with understanding, and then asked further as if she had thought of something.

"I think so."

Avis nodded slightly, and then took out the idea that he had convinced himself not long ago and confirmed it.

"If this is really the case, then she can indeed be trusted." Qiaoceline breathed a sigh of relief, then relaxed slightly and handed over the right to speak to the young man opposite, "What about you? What did you want to ask me just now?"

"You seem to have been waiting here for a while. It was because of Miss Mona's sudden appearance..."

Before he finished speaking, a look mixed with curiosity and expectation looked over: "What are you talking about again? Can you tell me?"

"without…"

"Licia, what do you think of Mona, the Wood Commissioner?" Ives subconsciously wanted to change the topic directly, but at this time, Qiaocelin completed the process of organizing the language one step faster than him and asked the question first. .

"Miss Mona?" Lilicia fell into thinking for a while, and then answered under the gazes of the two people who were either curious or nervous, "She doesn't consider other people's feelings very much."

"Where's Miss Natalie?"

Elvis promptly paid attention to the little girl with short shoulder-length hair who was a few steps away and looked a little depressed.

"I…"

Recalling the previous interactions with Commissioner Mu, and then looking at the girl who reconciled with her under Qiaoceline's persuasion, she spoke hesitantly, "It's indeed a bit strange..."

"Not a little, but very much."

Lilicia modified her words very dissatisfiedly.

"Why do you say that?"

Sensing that the atmosphere between the two ladies was a bit subtle, Ives wanted to just ignore it, but since the two took the initiative to bring it up, Ives decided that he should understand the ins and outs of the matter so that he could learn more about it. Grasp their mentality well, so as to pave the way for subsequent plans.

"Because in my impression, Miss Mona is not the kind of person who would compare two people with different levels of talent together. Even if she meets a person who is slightly less talented, she will not speak so directly. !”

Seeing that Lord Begonia of Water was willing to listen to her story, Lilicia not only confessed her previous experiences, but also attached her previous impressions of this committee member for comparison.

Then, Jocelyn and Ives couldn't help but fell into an embarrassing dilemma again.

One is thinking. How should we start investigating this committee member from such an anomaly?

Another wondered whether he should trust the commissioner.

Yes, Ives had originally planned to find clues from the three people who were out, but as a result, things made new progress, which made him unstoppable and had to re-examine the Wood Committee member himself.

Unlike several others who stopped by, the anonymous threatening letter arrived at just the right time, and even gave a clear insight into his and Miss Lifford's movements...

There is nothing wrong with these alone, but when put together, are they worthy of scrutiny?
  Thinking like this, Avis hurriedly put forward his own idea: "How about we try to check out Miss Mona's affairs. Maybe there are some very important clues hidden in it."

"I agree!"

Lilicia was the first to vote in favor.

"I don't have any objection either."

Then came Jocelyn, who was already wary of the committee member's behavior of taking care of Natalie alone.

"What about you Natalie? What do you think?"

Lilicia asked.

"I..." Seeing that the three of them had expressed their opinions one after another, Natalie was a little hesitant, because in her impression, the member of the Wood Committee was indeed not a bad person. On the contrary, he was still concerned about the original wood element magic. Take good care of her...

So, even though she was a little afraid that her ideas would be questioned by others, and even though it would make her conflict with the people around her again, she still boldly expressed her thoughts: "I think Miss Mona has problems, but I don’t think she is a bad person, because the magic of the wood element cannot deceive people, and such a warm and gentle magic element will not get close to bad people!”
