Chapter 294: The night is thick and the mint is cool

Malinda's endless inquiry made Arthur sigh in his heart.

It's not that I can't guess what Malinda asked.

Rather, he guessed what Malinda was asking, and Arthur sighed.

Marinda, like Melville, undoubtedly thinks that the layout is meant to elicit Melville itself – but in reality?

His trip to the 'Jumir Manor' in South Los was just to disguise the completion of the ritual [Cat's Orange].

And after that, all this?

It's all just in passing!

However, Marinda's inquiry in front of him made Arthur begin to reassess the weight of Melville, one of the 'Sixteen Staffs' who was out of control, in the heart of the Count of South Los.

It was clear that he only saw Melville's out-of-control side and did not notice Melville's hidden value.

But if Melville had hidden value, why did the countess 'let go' the other party?

In this case, it should be well monitored.

Unless......

Melville is valuable.

What did Melville do when he was released?

Suddenly, the young 'psychic' thought of something—

Melville, who was released, contacted the shadows hiding outside South Los, the attackers just now.

It is not easy to find these people on weekdays, and it is only by relying on high-level secrets like Melville that it is possible to gather them together and catch them all.

Of course, this is only on the surface.

It was the countess's excuse to the outside world.

Actually, what the countess wanted......

Let Melville take out the fellow travelers!

Melville's companions were all from the 'Sixteenth Staff', the 'Sixty-sixth Staff' and the ordinary 'Staff'.

According to Amuel, the 'Sixteen Staff' are sixteen mysterious people from various forces, and the 'Sixty-six Staff' are the brains of all walks of life in South Los.

As for the 'staff group', it is even more mixed, and there are all kinds of people.

Such a complex 'staff', although it seems to include all aspects of Nanlos, but it is precisely because it covers all aspects of Nanlos that the Count of Nanlos has a sense of constraint, especially when something damages the interests of the staff themselves or the forces they represent, it will happen that the Count of Nanlos absolutely does not want to see.

But it is not an easy thing to get rid of these staff.

The composition of the staff has long been ingrained, and the staff that has penetrated into all aspects of South Los has formed a very special 'interest group', and the slightest touch will cause turmoil in South Los .

So, either don't move.

Either......

One move, it's a thunderous blow!

But it is also unrealistic to directly kill these staff.

Doing so will only bring your reputation to the ground.

The Count of South Los is well aware.

Therefore, the other party needs a knife.

A knife named Melville.

Using Melville's [spirituality] out of control, he took out those staff who were gradually getting out of control, and regained control of the situation in his own hands.

Moreover, in order to make the death of these staff members who are gradually getting out of control unknown, the Earl will definitely secretly contact one or more of them before setting out, informing them of the mission - 'keep an eye on Melville and continue to search for the old lion's shadows outside South Los'!

With such an order, these staff members will be able to go on the road with peace of mind.

The young 'psychic medium' was sure that the Count of South Los had such an idea after Freeman confessed Melville's suspicious 'vigilance pawn'.

And, it has been secretly arranged.

To put it simply, whether or not the 'vigilance pawn' is directed at Melville, the fate of Melville and those staff members is already doomed.

Even if there is no 'Yumir Manor' and his party this time, there will be other events.

'It's really a tiger that eats people and doesn't spit out bones!' ’

Arthur sighed in his heart, he never underestimated any nobles, but he was still surprised by the tigress's methods - Arthur even suspected that the so-called 'seclusion of the Count of South Ross' was a ploy to lure these guys to take the initiative.

However, to my heart's surprise, the young psychic medium on the surface was very calm.

He said in an indifferent tone—

"At the beginning."

"Hmph, I knew that!"

Malinda snorted, but she wasn't really angry.

On the contrary, the lady looked at Arthur with more and more appreciation.

She took her pipe, took a deep breath, and said—

"At the end of the 'Silver Age', the alchemist 'Lady Abel' turned to 'Potions' in order to pay homage to her idol 'Master Herke', this master has a very high talent, and with the financial support of the Nanlos family, he has made rapid progress, not only perfecting the 'Glory Elixir' of the Nanlos family, making it more effective, but also completing the three potion recipes owned by the Nanlos family - 'Cat Pie. Black's decision to live in seclusion in South Los was only after getting this secret news, right?

As an earlier bloodline, the 'Credos family' naturally understands the importance of bloodline.

In the same way, the 'Credos family' understands that not every awakened clan can inherit the bloodline perfectly.

So, you need the Potion of Glory!

And what better option than the 'Glory Elixir'?

Naturally, it was the 'Glory Elixir' perfected by the 'Lady Abel' of the Nanlos family! ”

As she spoke, Malinda stared straight at Arthur, with a look on her face that saw through you.

Arthur grimaced and shook his head.

"Unwarranted speculation!"

The young 'medium' replied.

Looking at this scene, the corners of Malinda's mouth curled.

She knew she had guessed right.

She finally caught a little 'trace' of the man in front of her.

Looking at Malinda's smile, Arthur rolled his eyes directly.

'Ah, yes, yes, yes!

You're right!

That's what the 'Credos family' thinks, it's been laid out like this since my grandfather, if it weren't for the accidental death of my parents, the 'Credos family' would have started planning a long time ago! ’

Arthur complained from the bottom of his heart.

However, the 'Ms. Abel' mentioned in Malinda's words, Arthur was a little concerned.

If nothing else, this lady is the one who created the Wand Fighting Technique.

There may be people with the same name and surname, but the title of 'alchemist' is not common.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that this lady even took care of 'potions', and if she greeted Helke, could there be something hidden in the [Wand Fighting]?

Arthur pondered.

And looking at Arthur in thought, Malinda became more and more sure of her guess.

The woman, who thought she had found the reason for the presence of the 'Credos house' in South Los Sul, was in a good mood and took two puffs of her cigarette cheerfully.

The mint coolness contained in the smoke caused Arthur to look up, and the lady said with a smile-

"When you return to South Los, the 'Potion of Glory' that has been improved by Lady Abel will be yours."

Right now......

Can you tell us about your next steps?

I don't believe you're participating in the 'Southern Los Sword Tournament' for the title of 'Knight'! ”
