You call this the mastermind?

Merlen felt that things seemed to be getting a little strange.

He had just solved an enemy that appeared inexplicably in that spiritual world, but in a blink of an eye, he found that he did not return to the trial, but appeared in a secret room.

The secret room was dimly lit and the space was very narrow, at most ten square meters.

It was surrounded by gray rock walls, and there was no exit. He stepped to the edge of the wall and knocked on it, and he could feel the strong hardness on it.

Mellen then looked at the only furnishings here.

It was an ancient and even simple black partition table, placed in the center of the secret room, with a large amount of manuscripts and books piled on it.

A white candle was quietly burning at the corner of the table at this moment, which was the only light source here.

After walking over, Mellen picked up a manuscript on the table and looked at it. He was surprised to find that the manuscripts recorded some questions involving magic knowledge.

In other words, these were "papers".

"What do you mean? You can only leave here after you finish the paper?"

The questions recorded above are not difficult, but after careful observation, Melen frowned unconsciously.

[Please describe in detail the origin and survival needs of the Griffin, and give examples of spells that can be combined to artificially create the corresponding conditions required for the magical animal from reproduction to hatching. ]

...

[The bone reduction spell can be used to fine-tune the appearance and image of a wizard, but there are many sequelae of using it. Is there any way to avoid those sequelae? ]

...

[Energy stability is a rune sequence that is more commonly used in enchantment. If the frost core in the sequence is transformed into a swamp, what impact will it have on the entire sequence? ]

...

[What does Habakak mean in Dune? ]

...

With the inheritance of a potion professor, these questions are easy for Melen to answer, but if a normal wizard apprentice stands here, he will only feel at a loss.

Because many of the knowledge points involved above are only accessible to high-level wizards.

In other words, this is not a trial site for wizard apprentices.

Melen was very sure of this.

But if it is not a trial site for wizard apprentices, what is this place?

"Did I trigger some hidden mechanism?"

He naturally suspected this.

...

Melen was confused by his inexplicable experience.

Over there, the three vice presidents who noticed something was wrong had reported the news to the school's top management.

So some people who were busy with various things had to put down their current work and gathered in a conference room.

Each expression was either puzzled or serious.

"What do you mean?"

"The freshman test has become a master-seeking test?"

In the bright conference room, a total of twelve figures in different clothes surrounded the long table.

One of the middle-aged men wearing pince-nez looked at the copied student files and asked in surprise: "The heir of Saint Grant Castle? He became the heir, what are we? Servants?"

"Can anyone tell me when Saint Grant Castle became someone's private property?"

"During the Dune Dynasty, this school did have heirs and masters."

Someone answered his question, "In that era, the magic tide had not yet receded, and individual strength was far stronger than collective strength."

"So this is time travel? We returned to the days when wizards were still oppressed?"

"There must be a mistake."

Another person After carefully reading the files at hand, he said in a thoughtful tone: "The student Egg Wilson is very special. I think everyone has paid attention to him. He is indeed excellent in some aspects, but it is impossible for him to have the ability to defeat a wizard with a rank of 6."

"So I think this may have touched the dangerous response mechanism of the trial land, and the rules counterattacked the attackers on their own. As a result, for some unknown reason, the abandoned heir trial was triggered..."

"That's too coincidental. I think that Egg Wilson may know some secrets that others don't know, so this rule was triggered by him."

Someone put forward another point of view.

"Rather than believing in coincidence, I prefer to believe in this inevitable situation."

"What secrets can we not know, but a half-blood knows?"

"It's hard to say, but there are many special things in the school, and everyone knows this, so who can be sure that we know everything completely?"

"Couldn't it be that he really killed the enemy, so it was triggered?"    "Are you kidding?"

...

Although it is surprising that there are special circumstances in the trial land, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be surprising.

After all, the trial rule has been suspended for a hundred years. It would be abnormal if it could be restarted and run normally.

After all, it is not the real world rule, but an artificial "illusion" created by a large number of magic machines and instruments.

However, although it is understandable, the things facing the school leaders now need to be dealt with urgently.

"Don't think too much about the successor."

Sitting next to the main seat was a gray-haired old man. After he spoke, the noisy discussions in the meeting room stopped.

"In the Dune Dynasty, every heir to Saint Grant Castle needs to be trained from a young age, which involves many characteristics that are difficult for normal wizards to possess. So even if someone enters the trial, they will not succeed in becoming the heir."

"As for how the heir rules are triggered, we can wait until this Egg Wilson leaves the trial and ask him carefully."

"I think the first thing to consider now is the traitor who sneaked into the school."

As he said this, his tone tended to be serious.

"We have now confirmed that the traitor is Professor Robertson's assistant Quintina Bunian. She is dead, but how she was hired and the people involved in this hiring must be urgently investigated."

"It seems that nothing can be found."

The man who spoke first pushed his glasses on his face and said, "As far as I know, Quintina was a professor's assistant who was directly hired as a student five years ago. There is no problem with the process."

"It must be investigated even if there is no problem."

The old man said, "Including her family and friends behind her, we need to inquire carefully. Since our school has agreed to accept those mixed-bloods, we must never let some people plot to ruin its reputation."

"This kind of thing must never happen again."

"I think it's difficult."

A person sitting opposite the old man smiled noncommittally, "He hasn't officially entered the school yet, and this kind of chaos has occurred. When he really arrives at the school, who can guarantee that he will not encounter other accidents?"

"If he chokes to death while eating one day, do we also need to take responsibility?"

This was said very impolitely, but it caused many people in the conference room to nod.

For a top school like Saint Grant Castle to accept mixed-blood students has never happened in the wizarding world before, and such an act will inevitably attract attention from all sides.

This brings a lot of pressure.

For example, in the eyes of many pure-blood parents, mixed-bloods are basically a low-level group formed by illegitimate children.

In terms of bloodline, they will think that since the parents can do the act of giving birth to illegitimate children outside, their character cannot be very good.

If the character of the parents is not good, it will certainly not be much better when it is passed on to their children.

And now, their children need to go to school in the same school with some mixed-bloods with bad character, which will certainly cause protests.

For example, most mixed-blood wizards are actually not talented. How to educate them so that the outside world will feel that the school is not hiding their talents and treating them differently?

Normal education as usual?

Then with the weak talents of mixed-bloods, they are definitely not as good as pure-blood students.

Resources are tilted towards mixed-bloods?

This will cause dissatisfaction among pure-bloods.

The opening of the trial ground is actually to deal with this situation.

However, some things can be dealt with, but some cannot be avoided.

Similar to the phenomenon of being assassinated, who can guarantee that it will not continue to happen in the school?

After all, this is actually the influence of the overall environment of the wizarding world, and it is not controlled by their school.

And when the assassination happens again, or even when the assassination succeeds, will the outside world think that the school deliberately indulges the murderer to commit the crime?

Or the school does nothing?

In short, this practice of absorbing a group of mixed-bloods is actually very sensitive, and many people in the school are very dissatisfied with it.

No one can deny that this pioneering move will bring a certain reputation to the school, but compared with the disadvantages, this benefit is simply too insignificant.

"For a proposal that has been passed, there is no need to waste time worrying about the consequences."

Facing the dissatisfaction of these people, the gray-haired old man said seriously: "What we need to do is to deal with it, instead of thinking that these mixed-race students are a burden and unwilling to find a solution."

"But before that, shouldn't we discuss it first?"

Sitting among these people, Juliana, who had been communicating with people using the Book of Secret Languages, suddenly said: "If Egg Wilson really becomes the heir of Fort Saint Grant, what should we do?"
