You call this the mastermind?

According to the information Mellen learned from the nun, the Blood Cross is a very secretive organization, with members from all walks of life. They usually hide their identities and will never reveal themselves unless necessary.

The leader of the organization is a mysterious figure.

The nun called the other party mentor.

This is of course not to say that the relationship between the two parties is master-disciple, but the code name of the president is mentor.

According to the nun, she has not seen the mentor for five years - if things in Graham City went smoothly, she could see the other party, but unfortunately everything failed.

So she basically knows nothing about the current situation of the mentor and what he is doing.

Considering that the Blood Cross led by this person may be the mastermind behind the restart of the magic tide in the future, Mellen is actually very concerned about this.

And he thought that it would take a lot of time to collect information about the organization.

But he didn't expect that at this moment, he would actually run into the leader of the organization directly...

"Are you there, Principal?"

There was no response, and the person outside knocked on the door again.

Mellen had no intention of paying attention to the voice.

Because he didn't know the other party's background and the surrounding environment, he certainly didn't consider rushing up directly, but returned to the bedroom along the original route.

After arriving at a corner of the bedroom, a linear door quietly emerged as he approached.

Pushing the door open and walking into it, Mellen returned to the secret room with the golden skull.

Then he opened the suitcase and went in, hurriedly arrived at the study where the map was located, and after searching carefully according to the map, he finally confirmed a person's name-

Hodgson Simon.

This name is not consistent with the so-called President Bennett reported before, but after the reporter did not get a response outside the principal's office, he immediately went to a reception room and approached the black dot corresponding to this name.

Then, after a while, the little black dot walked out of the reception room.

I think this should be the real name of the president.

Then, what surprised Mellen was that after leaving the reception room, the little black dot did not go far away from Fort Saint Grant.

Instead, he moved around and came to an area marked as the prohibited items processing room, and then mixed with the other two small black dots, basically not moving anymore.

"Who is he visiting? Or is he disguised as a member of the school?"

Melen couldn't be sure of this.

So after thinking about it, his eyes moved and stayed on the area of ​​the trial center.

There are many black dots on the periphery of the area, but there are only three in the center.

One of them is called Yunia Sommermore.

This is Juliana's full name.

Melen doesn't have Juliana's secret book friend. When they were in the manor before, they only cared about hanging out. Later, this person left in a hurry and didn't have time to add.

But the lady had left him a message before, mentioning Juliana's work and tipping off, so Melen could of course follow this clue to find the other party's existence.

Then, he tried to turn on the call function that appeared on the map and contacted the other party.

…

The school's high-level meeting was forced to stop with the departure of the principal. Although everyone was puzzled, they did not waste time guessing anything. Instead, they returned to their respective posts and waited for news quietly while busy.

Juliana and the other two vice presidents were no exception.

However, unlike others, she was waiting for news from the principal and a reply from her "old friend".

As a result, she did not receive any news from either side, but suddenly heard a familiar voice from her ears.

"I am Mellen."

This came very suddenly, and it seemed very abrupt in the quiet workroom.

Juliana was startled, but she did not see any changes on the surface.

After looking at the two colleagues who were unaware, she lied that she needed to go to the bathroom, and then came to a nearby bathroom with a normal look, and then asked in a low voice.

"Where are you?"

"I'm in this school."

Juliana was stunned by this response, and then asked hurriedly: "Did the principal look for you? Did you pass the trial?"

"He might have looked for me, but I didn't see him."

The other side responded, "Let's not talk about this for now, I need you to do me a favor."

"What favor?"

"Go to a place called the prohibited items disposal room, and then see who is inside."

"What after that? How should I find you?"     "I'll wait for you near a place called Mermaid Lake."

After this sentence, there was no sound from the other side. Juliana thought about it and didn't think that someone was impersonating Mellen.

So she took out the Book of Secret Languages ​​and started to help him do this.

...

On the other side, Mellen kept staring at the small black dot corresponding to Juliana.

His identity was special, and he shouldn't have appeared inside the school. Since he found that the hidden state of the Wandering God Boots was not safe during the trial, he didn't dare to rely on it to do anything important.

Confirming the identity of the leader of the Scarlet Cross was a major issue.

In contrast, Juliana's activities in school were not out of place, and it was very simple to do so.

Because the so-called prohibited items disposal room is actually a storage room for confiscated student items, and as the deputy dean, one of Julianna's main responsibilities is to be in charge of personnel discipline issues in her college.

So she didn't even have to appear on the scene herself. On the pretext of transferring a certain item, she asked her assistant to go there through the Book of Secret Words, and the matter was completed very easily.

Then Mellen confirmed that the leader was indeed hiding in the school of Fort St. Grant under the false identity of the director of the processing room. It was said that he had been in office for five years.

I don’t know if he has really been hiding for so long, or if he is pretending to be this person.

But in any case, knowing the other party's traces, Mellen has already taken the initiative.

However, before he could decide whether to wait and see what happened next or prepare an ambush to try to capture this person, some words sent by Mrs. Chelsea through the Book of Secret Words diverted his attention.

"The school can secretly recognize your status as the heir, provided that you cannot use your heir privileges without authorization."

What does it mean to admit secretly?

Mellen was just about to ask this question, but the other person explained it.

"Secretly admitting means that your identity as an heir will not be disclosed, but you will be treated as an heir."

"Considering that times have changed, of course you will not really inherit Fort St. Grant in the future, but at least with this status, you can enjoy the top privileges and maximum resources in Fort St. Grant rationing."

"After graduation, you can't stay in school, but if you encounter difficulties, as long as you haven't done anything too evil, the school will support you unconditionally, and you can also receive a financial aid from the school every month."

"We are still discussing the relevant details, but the general framework should not change. What do you think?"

A bit like an emperor who abdicated in favor of a worthy one and was promised a lifetime of wealth?

This thought flashed through Mellen's mind, only to be overturned the next moment.

Because the other party added a sentence.

"Don't make a decision easily. This matter requires a blood contract."

Blood contract...

Mellen blinked.

The blood contract, also known as the blood oath contract, is extremely binding on both parties after it is signed. Violation of the contract can easily lead to life-threatening consequences.

He had learned about this in his inherited memory.

But this kind of thing is a limitation to others.

For him who can change his identity at will, there is no binding force at all...

"I think everything is up to you, teacher."

Mellen got the advantage and responded obediently.

The person on the other side didn't say anything, and obviously continued to discuss.

Mellen was no longer prepared to stay in the principal's private domain.

After going out and carefully cleaning up the traces of his presence, he hid his figure, carried his suitcase and rushed in the direction agreed with Juliana——

Mellen has discovered that after passing the trial, he has been branded with an invisible mark. Not only do many magical protections in the principal's office not take effect on him, but he can also use some protections and restrictions in other areas outside the office. Ignore it.

Even the locked door would open automatically after he tried to enter without using the Wandering God's Boots.

This ability is exaggerated when you think about it.

Mellen felt that if he were the principal, he might have murderous intentions. Now that the teacher talked about it to this extent, he didn't know what he was worried about...

This seemed to be something that could be asked carefully by the teacher afterwards, so Mellen didn’t think much about it.

Walking on campus in a hidden state, he looked at the surrounding environment as he walked in order to adapt to the upcoming campus life.

Not long after, he suddenly saw a familiar figure——

Kevin's father, the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, is a middle-aged man named Gray.

"Under what circumstances can we achieve immortality?"

He is now saying this to the people around him.
