You call this the mastermind?

Mellen climbed out of bed before dawn the next day.

Then when he got dressed and walked out to find "Assessor Feng" and asked him to take him to see the owner of the life-saving spell, he discovered that someone had gotten up earlier than him -

The wooden door of the room opposite him was open at the moment, and there was no one in it. It was obvious that the building was deserted.

And when he walked along the old stairs to the first floor, he found several adult wizards gathering in Inspector Feng's office and whispering something.

The solemn expressions on each of their faces seemed like something big had happened.

"We encountered an unexpected situation."

When the old assessor dressed as an ancient sage saw Mellen coming, he handed him a letter and whispered: "The letter contains the address and name of the Meteorological Association. It is difficult for me to walk away today. You can only Went by myself.”

"what happened?"

Mellen roughly guessed that the current situation might be related to what happened last night, but he still asked knowingly.

"You don't need to pay attention to some small things."

"Old Feng" patted Mellen on the shoulder, obviously not wanting to say more.

Mellen then had to leave on his own.

In fact, he wasn't very interested in this. He had obtained his destiny and saved the little girl, so why should he care about what happened next?

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

Wearing a black formal suit and walking on the deserted streets, Mellen was thinking about what kind of requirements he would face when he arrived at the next place.

What if it's too difficult?

If you can't say it, you have to grab it hard.

But the premise is to first figure out what level your actual combat ability is compared to that of a wizard.

If you are a cheat, you still have to outsmart...

Just as he was thinking about it, he met two familiar figures halfway.

One of them is the round-faced Martin whom I saw just last night. He has dark circles under his eyes and looks like he hasn't slept all night.

The other person is Martin's grandfather, Mellen's old acquaintance, Butler Fox.

"Good morning, Mr. Gilbert."

When Meren approached, the old housekeeper took the initiative to say hello, and said in a very respectful tone: "We are here to wait for you."

Maybe the initial show of force was so impressive that Mellen always felt that this old butler was not simple.

So I felt very uncomfortable with his respectful demeanor.

The little round-faced man next to him obviously didn't expect his grandfather to have such an attitude, so he was a little stunned.

But then, the slight discomfort he had just felt dissipated in an instant.

Because Meren returned the salute to the butler with the same gesture.

"I'm also very happy to see you here, butler. But you must have come to me for something, right?"

"Of course I would like to thank Mr. Gilbert for helping this child."

The old housekeeper said, turning his head and looking at his grandson.

So the little round face, as if it had been rehearsed in advance, bowed to Meren and said some words of gratitude.

Although it did pull you out of the fire pit, it wasn't that exaggerated, right?

Mellen felt a little strange about this, but then he thought about it. He still hadn't figured out the purpose of Little Round Face sneaking into the association. Maybe it was a very important thing.

Is that why they gave such a big ceremony?

What could be important?

Something to do with the lady's assassination?

While thinking about it, Mellen exchanged polite words with the grandfather and grandson——

In fact, there is nothing much to say. Normally, Mellen and Butler Fox only have contact in formal occasions.

And he and the round-faced Martin had never met each other a few times, and most of the times they met were unpleasant.

But this does not affect his ability to keep the conversation going.

Why, the weather is really nice today, which is more suitable for fishing in the countryside. Last time he went fishing with a few friends and caught a moving hand. At the time, he thought it was an illusion, but now it seems blah blah blah.

Anyway, as long as you provide a hook for the other party to bite at the end of the conversation, this level of small talk can continue forever.

The old housekeeper also happily cooperated with him, so it didn't take long for everyone to look very familiar.

"Madam knows what happened last night."

After feeling that the atmosphere was almost settled, the old butler handed Mellen a black wooden box that he always held in his hand.

"This is her thank you to you. There is also a letter in it. It is very important. You must read it when you go back."

"What's inside?"

Mellen raised his eyebrows at this.

"Of course it's a treasure."

The little round-faced man who had been silent before finally had the chance to interrupt.

I heard his tone full of envy: "None of the things Madam has given me is simple."

"It's a magical item that enhances the third hand. It's very precious and involves complicated matters. I didn't tell Martin, so please be sure to keep it quiet."

The old housekeeper secretly followed with a message.

Mellen became interested after hearing this.

Ever since he reached the Master Level of Breathing Technique, his third hand no longer had the same feeling of constantly adapting to the body's strengthening when he first awakened. It may have reached its upper limit.

Because this thing is related to the wizard's talent, the strength seems to be "natural", so Meren has not heard of any way to continue to enhance it.

Originally, Meren didn't pay much attention to this. After all, he still didn't know what level his talent belonged to among wizards, so there was no need to think about how to continue to strengthen it.

But now, an opportunity to continue strengthening appears before us...

The old butler in front of him didn't even tell his grandson, which can fully prove that there must be some incredible treasure in the box.

Maybe this will allow him to push his third hand over the limit?

What will happen after the breakthrough?

By the way, should I be polite...

Mellen wanted to ask about the treasure in detail, but he was unable to communicate secretly like the old housekeeper.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, a voice that seemed a little familiar suddenly came from not far behind him.

"Butler Fox? What a surprise! I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Master Kevin?"

The old housekeeper was facing the direction of the visitor, so he recognized him as soon as he paid attention, and his tone was a little surprised.

"When did you arrive Graham?"

"I just arrived last night. Because it was too late, I stayed at a friend's house first and didn't have time to visit my wife."

While the voice answered, he also said hello to the round-faced Martin.

The little round-faced man responded enthusiastically, as if he was very familiar with the other person, and even seemed a little respectful.

Mellen had also turned around and looked over at this time.

Then he discovered that the blond boy behind him turned out to be the blond boy who was talking to Mrs. Chelsea when he performed magic at the banquet.     “Which family is this——”

The visitor was also paying attention to the strange figure of Melen, and his words were very polite.

However, when he saw Melen's appearance clearly, his voice stopped abruptly.

Because he also recognized Mellen.

"It's actually you?"

The blond boy's tone was full of surprise, and he obviously didn't expect to meet Meren on such an occasion.

"Hello."

Mellen greeted the other person politely, but he didn't have any special feelings about this person.

Although that banquet offended him a little, now everyone has a certain relationship with Madam, so this guy can't be stingy and come to cause trouble for him, right?

The blond boy obviously didn't think so, but he didn't say much. After twitching the corners of his mouth, he also greeted politely.

"Master Kevin and Mr. Gilbert know each other?" The little round face was a little surprised when he saw this.

"We met during the last banquet."

Before Melen could speak, the blond boy named Kevin explained.

However, he seemed unwilling to mention this matter more, and then changed the subject.

"By the way, Butler Fox, there is something I want to ask you about."

"What do you want to ask, Master Kevin?"

"It's about the Refaeli family. On this occasion..."

Kevin glanced at Mellen hesitantly as he spoke.

The old housekeeper knew exactly what he was doubting at this time, so he explained: "Mr. Gilbert is also a wizard, there is no need to avoid him."

wizard?

When did he become a wizard?

Kevin was stunned when he heard this, looked at Mellen carefully, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

He had never thought that someone would awaken the wizard's bloodline midway, because it was so rare that most wizards had never heard of it.

It was even more impossible for him to imagine that someone would quickly practice the breathing method to the extreme and then become a wizard - this kind of thing can only be seen in epic myths and stories, and it is simply impossible to happen in reality.

So when he heard the old butler's words, Kevin instantly concluded that Meren was already a wizard.

But why did he pretend to be a normal person last time?

Are you still using ordinary magic tricks to "play" with yourself?

We have investigated before and found that his parents are obviously ordinary people. How could he be a wizard?

Is he really his mother's illegitimate son?

Graham knew that he was here, so he came to provoke him, his direct descendant?

This possibility is very high, and it can also explain where Melen’s wizard blood comes from...

Thinking of this, the blond boy couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

His visit to Graham this time was actually to investigate Mellen.

But it wasn’t that he actively wanted to investigate——

After all, he got a positive answer from Mrs. Chelsea at the banquet last time, so he was not afraid of being robbed of his fiancée.

The reason Kevin came to investigate this time was because his father, who was far away in the colony, wanted to find out what was going on with Melen.

This was mainly because after the last banquet, Kevin couldn't help but tell this matter while chatting with the Book of Secret Words.

Then his father became angry.

After all, judging from their age, they had only been married not long ago when Meren was born.

And counting the time of pregnancy, the wife may have been in a relationship with someone else before they got married...

This is so insulting!

However, the two of them were actually not sure about this, after all, there was no conclusive evidence.

So even though he was angry, Kevin's father was not too impulsive. He just told Kevin to investigate this matter carefully. We can't wrongly accuse your mother.

But now it seems that there is no need to waste this energy anymore...

"Mom, how could you do this?"

Kevin couldn't help but feel a little sad inside.

"Dad loves you so much, and you treat him like this?"

"He is so proud, how sad he would be if he knew the truth of this matter..."

The mind was greatly shocked, but as a top pure-blood family, he did not show any abnormal emotions on the surface.

"It's like this, I woke up early this morning and heard about the extermination of the Refaeli family."

He said to the butler: "This happened too suddenly, we were all shocked, so I wanted to ask you... Maybe you know some specifics?"

"I just heard about this this morning, but I don't know the details."

The butler said: "Maybe the lady might know?"

This is of course a lie. He learned the truth from Mrs. Chelsea last night.

But this matter involves those crazy truth believers, and then involves the fact that the lady had met the believer.

He would not rashly reveal the news without Mrs. Chelsea's consent.

Even though the boy in front of him is the future "son-in-law" of the Chelsea family.

"Is that so..."

The blond boy who didn't know the inside story believed the butler's words without much doubt.

After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to say goodbye and left.

But before leaving, he unconsciously glanced at Mellen.

That look was very strange, angry, disgusted, and faintly... seemed a little friendly?

It made Mellen very confused.

The old housekeeper and his grandson Martin also said goodbye to Mellen.

Before leaving, he reminded her again that she must pay attention to the black box in her hand and open it in a place where no one is after returning.

Mellen nodded in agreement, so after the grandfather and grandson left, he put away the black box and continued to rush towards the direction of the Meteorological Association.

After a while, he arrived at the association's headquarters, and with the guidance of a kind female member, he met the person who had his life-saving spell very smoothly.

The person was a very burly man with tough features and sharp eyes, and he looked very aggressive at first glance.

However, the request he made made Mellen stunned on the spot.

"I hope you can seduce my fiancée."

Then he heard the man say calmly: "It would be best if she could get pregnant."
