You call this the mastermind?

A violent explosion suddenly came from outside the suburbs, attracting the attention of many wizards who were already paying attention to that direction because of the previous ceremony.

Not long after, the news spread quickly that thousands of truth believers surrounded some "innocent" people.

It is said that this was just because of some trivial quarrels, the group of lunatics angrily beat up many people, and then walked away without any debt of gratitude.

"But only a fool would believe that just because of some altercation."

A young wizard sneered: "A single madman is enough to cause a headache, but someone actually wants to provoke a group of people? I really don't know how to write the word death."

"So, is it because of the secret?"

Someone asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, everyone now believes that the truth believers have learned an important secret."

The young wizard replied, "Everyone wants to know what this secret is. After all, there was too much noise before."

"The mystery of the destruction of Saint-Malo? Or some clue related to the previous era?"

Some people speculated, "Or is it about the future of the world?"

"Perhaps only those crazy people know the specific situation, but just wait and see, tomorrow's major newspapers will definitely be full of speculations and reports in this regard."

Saying this, the young wizard looked at the black-haired boy sitting beside him.

"What do you think, Egg?"

"I prefer things about the future."

Mellen replied in agreement.

So the group of young wizards sitting in the hall nodded their heads in agreement.

There are about a dozen people in this group, all young wizards loyal to the Chelsea family, similar to Martin with a round face.

Melen didn't know them at first, but he was seen by this group of peers and they enthusiastically invited them to discuss the problem together just after he went out.

Because they were discussing the group of truth believers, Mellen didn't think it was a waste of time, so he stopped here and listened.

Then he discovered that this group of people were very catering to him for some reason.

Especially the leader, the brown-haired wizard named Pope, would always ask Mellen's opinion no matter what he said, as if he was afraid of neglecting him.

I don’t know what he knew that made him so enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Of course, Melen had no curiosity about this. After listening politely for a while, he felt that it was not interesting and said goodbye to them.

Then he went on to look for the little round-faced Martin.

Melen was previously paying attention to his mysterious knight's vest, which has already evolved.

But the mysterious call from the other side was silent.

But considering the weather at the moment, this is not a surprise——

As the strange phenomenon faded away, it now looked like a sunny afternoon.

Correspondingly, the location of the mysterious call should still be in the middle of the night.

Who would make disgusting "nuisance calls" in the middle of the night?

However, there is no way to verify what the mysterious knight's vest looks like now, because he is in Chelsea Manor, and Meren dare not transform at will, lest he cause any special disturbance.

So he had nothing to do, so he was going to buy a book of secret words with many pages.

The book of secret words he is using now is still a ten-page version. He doesn't think it's that bad at the moment, but it will definitely not be enough in the future.

Although he possesses the Book of Deception, the appearance of the book is too conspicuous, and he can only open it when he transforms into Anthony, so it is not suitable for daily use.

So Melen thought of a familiar round-faced person, and after some contact, the person claimed to take him to buy it.

As a result, when I went out, I was delayed because I heard some interesting news.

…

But when Melen found the other party, he found that the other party was not waiting.

He was also discussing things related to the group of truth believers and the so-called secrets.

And this person is still an old acquaintance of Mellen-Kevin.

"There are not many shops in Graham City's Wizarding Commercial Street, and the products inside are basically very old."

Martin's residence in the manor is a "magic cabin" in a light blue style.

Sitting at a table covered with distilled glassware, a bandaged Kevin told Mellen:

"If you're not in a hurry, you'd better wait until you get to Fort St. Grant before buying some necessities."

When he said this, he looked at Melen's expression as if he was a little suspicious, and he was hesitant to speak.

This makes Melen very strange.

Could it be that something else happened without him knowing?

"Mr. Gray visited you this morning, Egg."

The little round face on the side spoke a certain topic for Kevin, "But he doesn't seem to have said anything to you?"

Gray?

The name was a bit unfamiliar, but after thinking about it for a moment, Mellen understood who it was.

So the middle-aged man who walked into the wrong door turned out to be Kevin's father?

He was suddenly enlightened by this, and immediately understood why the little yellow-haired man in front of him was hesitant to speak. The teacher was not very honest at that time. Although he had the body of a snake, it was more misleading.

His father saw that scene, and he couldn't help but think too much...

"Maybe he thinks I might be his son's future father-in-law?"

It's weird to think about becoming the father-in-law of a classmate or something.

But then Mellen thought of the fact that he and Juliana were also entangled in this matter.

So when he looked at Kevin again, his eyes became quite complicated.

"Did you really talk about something?"

Kevin was a little scared by being looked at, so he asked hurriedly.

"That's not the case."

Mellen shook his head and said, "I was confused at the time and didn't notice anyone passing by."

This obviously didn't explain anything.

But Kevin thought about it and didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject.

"Because of the matter of the group of truth believers, my father is visiting Mrs. Chelsea now."

When he spoke, his attitude was a little more cautious than before, but there was no essential difference.

After all, there are some things that he doesn't do what the elders say.

His father asked him to treat Mellen as "father", which seemed inexplicable to him.

Moreover, Mellen didn't give a reasonable explanation at the moment, so he wouldn't treat others as elders without knowing anything, right?

"It's better not to let him know some things. We should keep it secret for as long as we can."

"It won't be a big deal if we let him know when we get to Fort Saint Grant."

Kevin's words were meaningful.

"I understand."

Merlen nodded in agreement.

So Kevin, who was quite confident in his intelligence, no longer worried about whether he would be implicated.

"I heard that you had breakfast with the lady before?"

He turned to another matter, "Is the lady ready to let you go?"

"Not sure yet."

Merlen said, "I'm waiting for a reply."

This was the truth.

He had already told the teacher in the Book of Secret Languages ​​that he was considering returning to the Mixed Blood Association.

As a result, Mrs. Chelsea, who usually responded quickly, did not reply for a long time this time.

Considering so many things happened today, she must be very busy.

So Mellen didn't think much about it.

"What happened to you after you were kidnapped?"

Kevin was obviously very curious about this matter. "Why do we need to keep you here for investigation?"

"Nothing."

Mellen replied calmly: "It's mainly about the murderer's words and deeds and some details, which will be very useful for Madam to track down the murderer."

"Is the murderer a woman?"

"Yes."

Kevin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Kidnapped, and the murderer is a woman, then this "brother-in-law" in front of him, even if he stayed with his fiancée for a long time, nothing would happen.

He had actually asked his mother who had been to the scene before, and the other party told him to relax.

So asking Mellen now was just a casual question.

"When you go back, get closer to that person."

"Anyway, since you are already engaged, even if there are some unexpected things, there won't be any big changes."

Kevin then put on the airs of "brother-in-law".

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Engagement?"

"Engagement with whom?"

When asking the question, Gray, with gray hair on his temples, had already pushed the door open and looked at his son and Mellen with confusion.

Kevin was startled.
