The Logic of the Strong! 3/4

The blue-haired Nymph, who had been dejected and ashamed, suddenly looked up upon hearing this, her eyes lighting up and her pupils overflowing with hope.

The little fairy nodded vigorously, flapped her wings, and flew towards the valley where the fledgling eagle had been found.

The man stood still, placed his hand on the Blonde Girl's shoulder, and waved goodbye.

This snake is a really good person!

The blue-haired Nymph's eyes showed gratitude, and an indescribable warmth welled up in her heart.

However, the blonde girl, now detained and stranded, immediately bared her teeth in anger.

"Samael, whose side are you on?!"

A dull thud landed on the little girl's forehead, causing the Nymphs to crouch down, clutching her head in defense, her gaze filled with resentment.

Her grinding teeth seemed to want to bite a piece of flesh off the biased arbitrator in front of her.

"Are you stupid? You believe everything you hear!"

Samael was somewhat exasperated, and seizing the moment when the little girl was distracted, he gave her another sharp rap on the head.

"What happened at Eagle's Nest just now, were you lying to her? Is Krina in danger?"

The little girl's gaze sharpened, and a hint of worry appeared on her pretty face.

Well, at least this girl has a good heart.

"Why would I lie to her? It's all true."

Samael nodded slightly, ceasing his pursuit of the Nymphs before him, his expression softening somewhat.

"Then why won't you let me see the Eagle's Nest? That's too much!"

The blonde girl breathed a sigh of relief and began to struggle with discontent, eager to embark on the adventure to find treasure in the eagle's nest.

"You're really stupid, you don't have a single clue. Your previous speculation was just one possibility!"

"Maybe! Do you understand?"

The little girl looked confused and shook her head slightly.

Samael tilted his head back, rubbing his forehead, his cheeks twitching.

"It's true that the giant eagle encountered trouble while venturing out, and it's also true that the eaglets fell into the nest. But the question is, after so much time, have those little creatures starved to death? Have they been discovered by other creatures? Have they encountered any other accidents along the way? These are all possibilities!"

"You've already got what you wanted, is it really necessary to take the risk?!"

It seems like this...

The blonde girl scratched her head, seemingly understanding something.

Samael glanced at the Nymphs, then gave a disgruntled snort.

"Besides, isn't this all to clean up your mess?"

"That little girl named Krina is a bit stubborn. If you don't give her some ways to distract herself, it'll be hard to keep things peaceful here!"

"Arbitration can only resolve the surface disputes, and sometimes it does not necessarily resolve the person who caused the problem."

"If she can calm down and back down, you should be grateful. If you're lucky, she might even turn an enemy into a friend."

However, this advice, which is presented from an adult's perspective and subtly explains how to handle situations, is clearly a case of talking past each other.

The blonde girl tiptoed, patted Samael on the shoulder, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, I knew Samael would be on my side! That's why I specifically asked you for help."

"As an arbitrator, I uphold reason and naturally stand on the side of justice!"

Samael rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, emphasizing the point.

However, this blonde Nymph had an ambiguous expression that said, "We're all in this together."

"Tch, don't think I don't know that what you said at the beginning, 'the fledgling is injured,' was completely misleading."

"Therefore, as long as this preconceived misconception exists, Krina's guesses will be wrong no matter what she does next! The thing will definitely be mine!"

The water fairy, believing she had seen through the evil intentions hidden in the ancient serpent's belly, proudly raised her chin, put one hand on her hip, and exuded a heroic air.

"Hmph, I got it first, so of course it's mine!"

"Even if the Serpent Mother comes, what's mine will still be mine!"

Then, the little girl gently stroked the fledgling eagle's fluffy head with her fingers and murmured softly.

"Little darling, bear with it for a moment, I'll find you some dry and soft withered grass and feed you."

However, a sharp rap from the side struck the blonde Nymph on the head again, followed by a cold snort of annoyance.

"If it's the Serpent Mother who's arguing with you about this, she'll definitely be able to guess correctly."

Echidna, the Serpent Mother, is the ruler of the Cilician Marshes. Her power has reached the level of a goddess, and she also possesses some of the Earth Authority and the Death Authority.

"How is that possible!"

The blonde Nymph, clutching her head and baring her teeth, naturally didn't believe it and shook her head in rebuttal.

"The fledgling's leg wasn't broken at all. No matter what answer she gives, it's wrong. The things are still mine, aren't they?"

Samael glanced at the sulking Water Little Fairy Princess with a half-smile, then casually picked up two dry branches from the ground and clenched them in his hand.

"Why don't you try playing Ekadna, the Serpent Mother?"

At this moment, the goddess behind the bushes paused her steps as she was about to leave, and turned around curiously.

"I guess the left leg! No need to think, it's definitely it..."

The blonde Nymph casually responded, just about to deliver her verdict, when she heard a crisp sound beside her ear.

"Congratulations on guessing correctly, Your Highness the Serpent Mother."

The ancient snake smiled and spread its fingers, the branch on the left side of its palm was broken off.

"That right leg..."

The blonde Nymph instinctively argued back and changed her answer.

"Smack!"

"You guessed right again."

Samael's smile faded, his eyes narrowed, he raised his hand and snapped off the branch on his right, bowed slightly, and spoke in a meaningful tone.

"Isn't it clear yet? Your Serpent Mother, no matter which leg this fledgling eagle is injured, whether it lives or dies, your answer will always be correct!"

The Nymphs, whose mind was severely shaken, was immediately dumbfounded.

This... you can play it like this?

That's ridiculous!

Even if Samael wanted to favor Krina, he could simply break one of the eaglet's legs and award the little creature to her.

Does that mean there's no single correct answer to this question? And that all answers are correct?

Whether something is right or wrong depends on the choice made by the arbitrator.

"Samael, you're so mean! You're completely unreasonable!"

The blonde Nymph, whose worldview was beginning to crumble, huffed angrily, which drew a sneer and a flurry of punches.

"I'm not being reasonable! Are you stupid?!"

"With the Serpent Mother's size, she could kill us with one slap. You're trying to reason with her and take things from her?"

"You little brat, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you. I haven't lived enough yet!"

The aggrieved blonde girl crouched on the ground, covering her head and trying to avoid being hit, her eyes brimming with tears.

"You liar, you have no loyalty. Why is it okay for Krina?"

Samael continued to rhythmically tap the blonde loli's head, gritting his teeth and letting out a cold snort.

"Nonsense! If she doesn't listen and you try to force her, I could slap her to death!"

"You're the same! If you dare to get angry, I guarantee I'll provide a one-stop service for destroying the evidence afterwards! No one will be able to cause trouble here!"

"Otherwise, if things are out of my control, do you really think I'd be willing to let you arbitrate?"

The menacing aura that had been meant to frighten children lasted for a moment. The ancient serpent gripped the back of the blonde Nymph's neck, their eyes meeting, his vertical pupils unfathomable.

"You brat, remember this: you can only sit down and reason with each other when you are on equal footing."

"If the gap is too large, then this makes sense!"

The fist, as big as a sandbag, dangled in front of the little girl's nose and eyes.

"So, be more careful from now on, and don't be silly and get stuck on things, understand? Daphne!"

At this moment, the goddess behind the bushes, who had witnessed the transformation, was equally dumbfounded.

Law and arbitration can be used like this?
