"Exciting?

Can you? ”

Faced with Malinda's soft inquiry, Arthur sneered twice.

The lady snorted coldly.

"I'm misogynistic, not misogyny."

As he spoke, he stared at Arthur as if he were going to try it.

Arthur sneered again.

"It's all the same."

The lady reacted the next moment, but before the lady could speak, Arthur continued.

"And......

My feathers are afraid of getting wet. ”

Further crit, in that elongated tone, was full of provocation.

Immediately, Malinda's gaze became dangerous.

The two of them looked at each other without giving an inch.

After about two seconds, the two of them turned their heads in unison, turned to one side, and said at the same time—

"Phew!"

"You naïve, careful-eyed fellow!"

Malinda even raised a middle finger at Arthur, she knew very well that this was Arthur's revenge for her 'temptation' just now.

Marinda didn't care about that.

At least, she knew, the arms weren't Arthur's.

That's enough.

And if that batch of munitions was really Arthur's?

She'll have to reconsider her partnership with Arthur.

Nanlos would never allow such a dangerous figure to exist.

"Where did that batch of arms come from?"

Repurposing her pipe, the woman asked.

"Do you know about 'Hilter Tower'?"

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

However, Arthur believes that Malinda will give him a satisfactory answer.

In fact, the same is true -

"'Hilt Tower'?

The Tower of Hilt in the Silver Age was one of the few neutral places, relying on the great power of its owner, Hilter, to stand on the land of the 'Winter Castle', and was a place that many scholars and ascetics yearned for.

Hilt inherited some of the 'Druid Hassen School' from the early days of the empire, and was himself of aristocratic blood, and was first remembered when he was 19 years old in the 55th year of the Silver Calendar, showing the strength of the 'Great Arcana', but chose to give up his inheritance and go to the Far North to do penance.

It wasn't until 20 years later, in the 75th year of the Silver Calendar, that the 39-year-old Hilt reappeared in the limelight, and built the Hilt Tower at the junction of the North and the Far North, 'Winter Castle', and for the decades that followed, he selflessly taught everyone who possessed 'talent'.

It can be said that Hilt Tower was the glorious place for all the people of the North County at that time.

Whether it is a commoner or an aristocrat. ”

Malinda spoke eloquently, and there was no disguised admiration for this Hilt between her words.

Idealists already have such charm.

Although the Silver Age may be called 'Silver', it is no less dark than the Holy Empire' - the open slave trade, the idea of aristocratic supremacy, and the incessant fighting among the nobles are enough to transform the color of any pioneer era.

In that era, ordinary people did not have any rights, and from the time of birth, they were one of the property of the lord of the land to which they belonged, just like the fathers and grandfathers of ordinary people, and the sons and grandsons of ordinary people would also do the same.

The wives of ordinary people, for the first time, are all lords.

The daughter of an ordinary person, for the first time, is also a lord's.

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

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

Of course, the most lethal thing is that ordinary people have no idea why the so-called 'war' is going on.

It is possible that it was just a boring hunt between the nobles, a battle for a wild boar, a deer.

Or maybe it's a lonely ball, because of a lady's looking back, or smiling.

However, the most desperate thing is that they can't resist.

The disparity in strength makes all ordinary people can only live numbly.

In short, it was not a good time.

In particular, 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 'Hilter Tower', which can shelter the innocent, is naturally desirable.

However, such a yearning is destined to be shattered with the death of that Hilt.

Without the protection of powerful forces, those nobles of the northern county will not let go of such an opportunity, and they must be like vultures to eat Hilter Tower.

Coupled with the strife that arose within Hilt Tower, Arthur could have imagined the scene at that time.

And judging from Malinda's appearance of stopping and avoiding talking, the picture in Arthur's mind has been completely clear - probably a faction within Hilt Tower has defected to the local nobles, and cleansed the original friends and partners in a more murderous way than the local nobles.

Some people will always show their loyalty in this way.

Unfortunately, dogs are rewarded for their loyalty.

Such people, but not.

Because, in the hearts of the local aristocracy, such a person will only be a vessel similar to a night pot.

"So, Fritz, the first owner of 'Yumir Manor', has something to do with 'Hilter Tower'?"

Malinda asked.

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

After all, the estate was named after his wife.

'Ymir Manor', nice name. ”

Arthur nodded, and said so.

Malinda pouted.

This lady knew too well that there was no way that the other party would abandon the plan because of his wife's obstruction, not so much because of his wife, but because of illness or assassination.

None of this has anything to do with her, though.

What she wants is how to properly use Fritz's relationship with 'Hilt Tower', and the admiration for 'Hilt Tower' does not mean that Malinda will not use 'Hilt Tower'.

If Malinda hadn't been able to tell what's at stake, she wouldn't have been called 'Lady of the Long Night'.

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

When walking to the second lap, the lady suddenly asked Arthur -

"Do you know the alchemist 'Athos'?"

With such questioning, Arthur knew what the lady wanted to do.

Athos, he's all too familiar.

[Atos's Chest] is in his hand, it is an indispensable prop for him now, and the most talked about by Athos is the 'Atos Golden Chest'.

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

It is also reasonable for the presence of the 'Athos Golden Chest' in the 'Ymir Manor'.

Obviously, this woman is ready to make a fuss with the 'Athos Gold Chest'.

Just as he was about to nod his head in response to the lady, the young 'medium' felt a sudden shock.

He thought of a key point.
