You call this the mastermind?

The lady's surprised words made the old housekeeper feel embarrassed, but outside the gate of the manor was not a good place to talk.

When the group of people arrived at the main building of the manor and sat in the bright hall, the housekeeper told his master the whole story.

Because it involved the assassination of his wife, he spoke in great detail.

Including how slow his grandson behaved in this, he said it completely without any glorification.

Mrs. Chelsea listened silently, her expression never changing.

It wasn't until the old housekeeper finished explaining the matter that she nodded.

"Your little grandson behaved very normally. After all, he has never been exposed to this kind of conspiracy. You can't blame him for his slow reaction."

"On the contrary, the fact that he can tolerate being humiliated one after another for a whole day without making the slightest act of impulsiveness is enough to show that he has a tough mind and is a talent worth cultivating."

These words did not sound like comfort, and the old housekeeper also knew that Madam would not say anything good on such an issue involving the "development direction" of her grandson's future.

Since she can say this, it proves that she really thinks so.

However, if this tone is set, then Melen, who is very astute in this matter, obviously cannot be evaluated based on talent alone.

But the strange thing is that the old housekeeper did not hear the lady mention Melen, whom she paid a lot of attention to in the past, and instead asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"Have you heard any news lately about William Pantoria?"

"William Pantoria?"

The housekeeper was startled when he heard this.

This name is very familiar to him.

Not just him, but everyone in the wizarding world who has followed the news in the past two years is unlikely to be unfamiliar with this name.

William Pantoria was born in an ancient pure-blood wizard family. When he became an adult, he did not follow his family's arrangements and enter the Ministry of Magic to work in politics. Instead, he went to the Shivering Sea, the largest sea in the north, to become a pirate.

While he was accustomed to plundering the ships of the Northern Empire and the Church, he didn't know where he got a cursed ship named Disaster.

Then he conspired with the deep-sea races to break through the Tower of the Abyss, the largest prison in the wizarding world, and released tens of thousands of terrifying criminals in the tower.

That was ten years ago, but now, the entire wizarding world is still deeply troubled by this incident.

It can be said that this guy is the most wanted criminal that the wizarding government is currently tracking.

But it is precisely because of these criminal deeds that he is listed as one of the top ten pirates of the contemporary era, and he is in the limelight.

"It is said that William was last seen in the Great Library of Cairhien. He seemed to be consulting information on steam dynamics and enchantment."

The old housekeeper replied in a low voice, "But there are too many rumors in the news, and no one can be sure that it is true."

"William is very cautious and will always release all kinds of false news to cover up his true whereabouts."

The lady said: "But one thing should be true, that is, he has a daughter who is not very young and is hiding in a certain branch of the Mixed-blood Association."

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this and was completely unprepared for the news.

"In other words, this matter..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this little girl is currently in Graham. If the enemy's plan goes well, she will die tragically in the future, and your grandson will be the first suspect."

Mrs. Chelsea said and sneered a few times.

"It's a pity that the man behind the scenes didn't expect that the fools he secretly instigated went too far, so that the flaws were easily discovered."

The old housekeeper actually didn't hear clearly what his master said at this moment.

When he heard that William's daughter was hiding in the mixed-race association, he unconsciously broke into a cold sweat.

I thought it would be a good thing to ask my grandson to do something for the madam this time. As long as he performed well, he would definitely win the eye of the madam.

The current results are quite in line with expectations.

But is this process too thrilling?

That was the most wanted criminal in the wizarding world. If he really wanted his daughter to die, he wouldn't care about the evidence or whether he was innocent. No one involved in this matter would be able to escape being killed...

Of course, Madam is not afraid of a fugitive prisoner, but Madam is a Madam, and his little grandson Martin doesn't have that ability.

It’s impossible for Madam to send people to protect her 24 hours a day. When that time comes...

"Thanks to Melen, otherwise the consequences of this would have been unpredictable."

The old housekeeper was very happy about this.

The lady glanced at him after hearing this, "Well, guess what, even I can't determine where the girl is hiding, and how can I determine the person behind the scenes?"

"It should be that William's best friend was involved, or at least leaked the secret."

As the housekeeper said this, his mind wandered, "Could it be the president of the Mixed-blood Association..."

Since William can send his daughter to the mixed-race association, it proves that he has full trust in this organization, or someone in the organization.

It seems that no one is more qualified for this candidate than the president of the association.

Because the president is known as a good person in the entire wizarding world.

But can such a person really be what he appears to be?

The old butler has always believed that people who are good at managing their reputation must have more complex thoughts than ordinary people...

"If we really have doubts about this, it will be like stepping on a trap set by the enemy."

Mrs. Chelsea shook her head, "Of course, we can't be sure that that one will be fine."

"What do you mean?"

"That Charlie and other possible accomplices around him are destined to die."

The hoarse voice whispered: "It's better if their frame-up plan succeeds. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter, because it will eventually reveal one thing to us."

"That is, good intentions lead to bad results. Your so-called help is not necessarily a good thing for them, and they will not be grateful."

"You mean, Charlie wants to do this because he is dissatisfied with your kindness to the mixed-bloods?"

The butler does not have the golden finger of Mellen, who can see the logic behind the murderer's actions.

At this time, he heard what the lady said, and then he reacted.

Then he was full of surprise.

"If it weren't for you, how could those mixed-bloods have a stable environment to live normally?"

"You can also understand that I am boiling a group of frogs in a pot of warm water."

Mrs. Chelsea said indifferently: "The purpose of maintaining the mixed-blood group is to constantly ask them to send some inferior people for us pure-bloods to drive and play with. I heard this statement earlier, and I didn't take it seriously, but now..."

"You just said that if we are suspicious of this, we will fall into the enemy's trap..."

"So, the person behind the scenes seems to be weaving a conspiracy, but in fact it is just revealing a truth. But... what is the purpose?"

The last sentence tends to be whispered, and Mrs. Chelsea frowned, obviously unable to understand it.     What if you see it clearly, what if you don't see it clearly?

It's just a group of mixed-bloods. Does anyone think that it will be a huge loss for her to be alienated from the mixed-bloods?

Or is it that whether it is the previous assassination or the current alienation, the ultimate goal is not actually herself?

Thinking of the truth believer she met tonight and what he said, Mrs. Chelsea was thoughtful.

Did someone believe the words of those lunatics and take the opportunity to do something?

But...

How is this possible?

Pondering this matter in her heart, she ordered: "Let your grandson withdraw, and inform the Mixed Blood Association of the relevant clues about this matter and my assassination. Since this matter involves their own problems, let them investigate and solve it."

The housekeeper responded in a low voice.

The issuance of this order will inevitably lead to an internal investigation of the Mixed Blood Association.

It would be fine if it was just that, but the investigation involves the current operating philosophy of the association.

If what the lady said is true, then there must be a part of the mixed blood who are secretly dissatisfied with the current stable environment and development direction.

Although the thorough exposure of Charlie's problems will cause a group of mixed bloods to reflect on themselves, it will also let another group of people see that there are people with the same ideas charging forward.

Although the character of this attacker is not very good, it is enough to cause the association to split secretly.

But this has nothing to do with them. Splitting is actually a good thing for the lady.

At least she can see clearly who is a potential friend who is grateful and who is a future enemy who repays kindness with resentment.

"Right."

Just when the housekeeper was thinking about whether to remind Mellen, who saved his grandson, to prevent the incident from affecting him, he saw the lady took out a sheepskin booklet from somewhere and placed it on the low table beside him.

"When you go, bring this book to Mellen and let him read it once, just as a thank you for saving your grandson."

"Robin Lafayette's Adventure Guide?"

The housekeeper was full of surprise after seeing the title.

This book looks like a storybook, but it is actually a unique secret treasure.

Because every wizard who reads this book will get a benefit afterwards.

That is the third hand, which is a great enhancement of the wizard's talent.

The lady obviously considered that Mellen might not have a good talent after awakening, so she wanted to use this book to cultivate him to make up for this defect.

And handing this book over in the name of gratitude is obviously just an excuse.

Because the qualification to read this book is much more valuable than his grandson's life.

It is even so valuable that the housekeeper cannot understand it.

This book will have obvious effects even if it is used by a wizard of the lady's level, but it has a great limitation.

That is, only three people can read this book at the same time.

If more than three people read it, it will only cause harm.

According to the housekeeper, there is only one last chance to read this book.

It is for this reason that the lady has never succeeded in asking the Refaeli family for the book for her daughter.

How come now, after finally getting the book, the opportunity is given to an outsider?

Although this outsider once accidentally saved the lady and just helped them a lot, this doesn't make the lady think that he is more important than the young lady, right?

As if seeing the housekeeper's doubts, Mrs. Chelsea chuckled and said, "It can be read three times now."

"You mean..."

"You are right. There is no Refaeli family in this world anymore."

This news shocked the old housekeeper completely.

Although the Refaeli family has declined due to being hunted by a group of lunatics for many years, it still has some foundation, at least much stronger than most small and medium-sized wizard families.

Now there is no news at all, and it is gone just like that?

"Did you do it?"

"No, it was the God Slayer Guderian."

"It's that group of lunatics again... What are they going to do?"

"Do something unrealistic."

Mrs. Chelsea snorted unconsciously when she said this.

"Some people believed their crazy words and followed them to Graham to make trouble. Maybe they thought I was easier to bully."

The housekeeper was thoughtful.

Mrs. obviously learned something tonight, but she didn't believe it, so she was quite disdainful when she said it now.

However...

If she really didn't believe it at all, would she send the powerful treasure that could only be flipped through three times to Mellen for use once?

You know, excluding the lady herself and the young lady, the number of times the treasure can be used is only this one...

Maybe, because of the matter of that group of lunatics, the mixed-blood association may undergo more serious changes than the split in the future?

And the lady hopes that Mellen can play a role similar to this incident in this change?

But...how can she be sure that Mellen will stand on her side when something big happens?

Relying on Mellen's admiration for the young lady?

But this...

The housekeeper looked at his master hesitantly, wanting to say something, but afraid that it would cause dissatisfaction with the lady.

After all, it was not something a servant should get involved in.

But then he had no such concerns, because of what the lady said next.

"That child's liking for Alyssa will not lead to any result, but he is a rare talent, and I will not alienate him because of this matter."

"So, when you go to deliver the book, please bring a message for me."

When she said this, Mrs. Chelsea's words were a little hesitant, as if she had never thought of saying these things before.

But then, she still said the rest of the words.

"If he agrees, he can choose to be my apprentice."
