They all call me master

"Exciting?

can you? "

Facing Malinda's soft inquiry, Arthur sneered twice.

The lady then snorted coldly.

"I am male-phobic, not bird-phobic."

As he said this, he still stared at Arthur, as if he wanted to give it a try.

Arthur sneered again.

"it's the same."

The woman reacted to the pun, but before the woman could speak, Arthur continued.

"and……

My feathers are afraid of getting wet. "

Further critical strikes, the drawn-out tone was full of provocation.

Immediately, Malinda's gaze became dangerous.

Both of them stared at each other without giving an inch.

About two seconds later, the two of them turned their heads to one side and mouthed at the same time——

"Pooh!"

"You childish, petty guy!"

Malinda even raised her middle finger at Arthur. She knew very well that this was Arthur's revenge for her 'test' just now.

Malinda didn't care about this.

At least, she knew that the arms were not Arthur's.

that's enough.

What if that batch of arms really belonged to Arthur?

She would have to reconsider her partnership with Arthur.

Nanlos will never allow such a dangerous person to exist.

"Where did that batch of arms come from?"

the lady asked, picking up her pipe again.

“Do you know ‘Hilt Tower’?”

Arthur revealed the information he had, and there was a temptation that belonged to the 'spiritual medium' hidden in his words. Although there was a lot of mysterious knowledge on the bookshelf in the secret room, there was no more information about the 'Hilt Tower'. It was obvious that Fritz had deliberately hidden it.

However, Arthur believed that Malinda would give him a satisfactory answer.

In fact, this is also true——

"'Shilt Tower'?

Hilt's Tower in the Silver Age was one of the few neutral places. Relying on the powerful power of its owner Hilt, it stood on the land of Winterfort. It was a place that many scholars and ascetics yearned for.

Hilt inherited part of the early empire's 'Druid Hasen School', and he also has aristocratic blood. The first time he was remembered was in the 55th year of the Silver Calendar, when he showed the 'Major Arcana' at the age of 19. Super power, but chose to give up the right to inherit and go to the far north to practice hard.

It was not until 20 years later, in the 75th year of the Silver Calendar, that the 39-year-old Hilt reappeared in people's sight. He built the Hilt Tower at the "Winterfort" at the junction of the North and the Far North. For decades, he has been selflessly teaching everyone with "talent".

It can be said that Hillt Tower was the glorious place for everyone in North County at that time.

Whether they are civilians or nobles. "

Malinda talked eloquently, with unabashed admiration for Hilt in her words.

Idealists already possess such charm.

Although the Silver Age is known as 'Silver', its darkness is no less than that of the 'Holy Empire' period - the open slave trade, the concept of aristocratic supremacy, and the non-stop attacks between nobles are enough to make anyone A person in the pioneer era was so disgraceful.

Ordinary people did not have any rights in that era. From the moment they were born, they were part of the property of the local lord, just like the fathers and grandfathers of ordinary people, and the same would be true for the sons and grandsons of ordinary people.

For the first time, the wives of ordinary people belonged to the lord.

For the first time, the daughter of an ordinary person was also the daughter of a lord.

Even the mother of an ordinary person was the lord's for the first time.

As an ordinary person, if you are a farmer, you will be a farmer your whole life and will never be allowed to change. When you want to become a blacksmith, the price you have to pay is almost fatal.

Of course, the most fatal thing is that ordinary people have no idea why the so-called "war" started.

It might just be a boring hunt between nobles, a fight for a wild boar or a deer.

It may also be a dance to relieve loneliness, because of a woman's look back or her smile.

However, the most desperate thing is still unable to resist.

The power gap makes all ordinary people live in numbness.

In short, it was not a good era.

Especially compared to the warm South County, North County, where most of the land is covered in ice and snow, is almost like hell.

And the 'Shilt Tower' that can protect the innocent is naturally desirable.

However, this yearning was destined to be shattered with the death of Hilt.

Without the protection of powerful forces, the nobles of North County would not let go of such an opportunity, and they would surely eat up Hilt Tower like vultures.

Coupled with the disputes within Hilt Tower, Arthur can completely imagine the scene at that time.

Judging from the way Malinda stopped and avoided talking, the picture in Arthur's mind was completely clear - probably a faction within Hilt Tower had defected to the local nobles in order to be more powerful than the local nobles. Brutal ways to cleanse former friends and partners.

Some people will always show loyalty in this way.

Unfortunately, dogs are rewarded for their loyalty.

Such people don't.

Because, in the hearts of local nobles, such a person would only be an instrument like a chamber pot.

"So, Fritz, the first owner of Ymir Manor, is related to Hilt Tower?"

Malinda asked.

"Well, he probably wanted to take advantage of the situation during the Seven Years' War, but failed before it even started - most likely his wife dissuaded him, right?

After all, the estate was named after his wife.

‘Ymir Manor’ is a good name. "

Arthur nodded and said this.

Malinda curled her lips.

This lady knew very well about people like Fritz, who would never give up his plan because of his wife's obstruction. Rather than saying it was because of his wife, it would be more reliable to say that it was because of illness or assassination.

However, this has nothing to do with her.

What she wants is how to properly utilize the relationship between Fritz and Hilt Tower. Her admiration for Hilt Tower does not mean that Malinda will not use Hilt Tower.

If Malinda really couldn't distinguish the stakes, she wouldn't be called the 'Lady of the Night'.

The fire in the pipe flickered, and Malinda paced in the study.

When walking to the second circle, the lady suddenly asked Arthur——

"Do you know the master alchemist 'Athos'?"

With this question, Arthur knew what the woman wanted to do.

Athos, he was so familiar.

[The Box of Athos] is in his hand, and it is an indispensable prop for him now, and the most talked about thing about Athos is the 'Golden Box of Athos'.

As it happens, Athos and Hilt are still close friends.

It is also reasonable for the ‘Athos Gold Box’ to appear in ‘Ymir Manor’.

Obviously, this woman is planning to make a fuss with the 'Athos Gold Box'.

Just when he was about to nod in response to the lady, the young 'psychic medium' felt something in his heart.

He thought of a key point.
