You call this the mastermind?

The glass window of the hotel's single room was dirty, covered with dust and traces of handprints.

But the silver moon that rose quietly instead of the sunset could still shine through the glass window on Melen's right cheek without any hindrance.

The boy with thick black hair was sleeping peacefully on the feather bed in the room, holding a parchment book in his hand, breathing evenly, as if in a deep sleep.

But in fact, he was in his "dream", looking around curiously.

He became the protagonist of the storybook, and the environment he was in was the other person's home.

This home was not big, it was just a hunter's cabin standing deep in the forest.

In addition to the oil painting of a family of three hanging on the wall of the cabin, there was also a specimen of a deer head with a pair of majestic antlers.

On the side of the specimen was a half-open window.

The forest outside the window was dense, and the sunlight penetrated from the treetops, and it appeared spotted when it fell on the vegetable field in front of the window.

The sky here was completely different from that outside. Mellen leaned against the window and looked for a few times, and found that there were actually a few rabbits eating grass in the depths of the forest.

"Is it so real?"

While secretly amazed, he did not go out to figure out whether the animals were real, but instead focused his attention on the painting again.

Or rather, under the painting.

Under the painting was a fireplace, and on the table above the fireplace, in addition to a half-melted white candle, there was also a book quietly placed.

He walked over and picked up the booklet to take a look. Lines of explanations followed and came into Mellen's eyes——

"Hello, descendant of the Refaeli family. I am Anthony Refaeli. I think you should have heard about me from your father or grandfather."

"But that's not the point. What we need to emphasize now is this book."

"What you are reading now is a magical storybook made by Robin Refaeli, the greatest wizard in the world."

"Its existence will make our Refaeli family prosper forever."

"The premise is that you and the next clan members who see this book can make good use of it."

...

The previous story is very concise, but with the incident of the extermination of the family yesterday, these words seem a bit absurd.

While secretly complaining, Mellen continued to read on and saw the key point.

"The tribesmen who enter the storybook will condense into three different images according to their own temperament and body."

"Those with strong hearts, regardless of gender, will appear as the male master."

"Those whose minds are occupied by love and desire will appear as the female master."

"The purest will appear as a daughter..."

...

After saying a lot of fancy things, the core use is actually to strengthen the wizard's third hand.

After reading this booklet roughly, Melen came to a conclusion.

It's just that this kind of strengthening is completely different from what he knew before, or from what the old housekeeper wrote in the letter.

In short, the strengthening effect of this book is continuous, not something that can be obtained by reading it all at once.

But this kind of continuous strengthening has great limitations.

First of all, as the protagonist of the storybook, Melen needs to "adventure" according to the plot.

However, he can't go alone. He must be accompanied by his daughter or wife. After passing the "first level", there will be a strengthening, and then the second level will be opened.

If all three quotas for this book are used up, then this restriction will be increased - three people are required to read it together.

This is a very strange setting.

According to the author of this booklet, the reason for doing this may be that the great Robin Lefaley chose to abandon his wife and daughter in pursuit of the ultimate wizard path and became an emotionless "level-up machine".

But he regretted this decision very much in his later years surrounded by loneliness.

So he created this book, hoping that the family would continue forever and warn future generations what is the most important thing.

It sounds good, but it stumped Mellen.

Because this book was sent by Mrs. Chelsea, he needed to send it back to her after "reading it", but he was not qualified to decide who the next two readers would be.

In other words, if he wanted to use this book to strengthen himself, he needed to go on an adventure with two strangers.

However, if it was a normal adventure plot, it would be nothing.

But according to the plots he saw before he fell asleep, this plot was actually not so normal.

Or, not so serious...

"That lady obviously doesn't know the specific usage of this book."

This thought flashed through Mellen's mind, "Otherwise she is seducing me, but how is that possible?"

This also proves that the lady sent the book to him as soon as she got it.

How did she get it?

Combined with the murder case heard during the day, the answer seems to be self-evident.

"Brutal, domineering, powerful, and full of confidence..."

Mellen blinked his eyes, and his love was ready to move.

"What a pity..."

With a sigh, he put the "instruction manual" in his hand back to its original place.

Mellen no longer had hope of getting any benefit from this book.

Because he didn't think there would be a stranger who would go on an "adventure" with him.

And who can be sure whether the next person to use the remaining two places is a man or a woman?

Thinking of the scene of two or three grown men "adventuring" together, Melen shuddered.

Therefore, he was too lazy to observe what hidden details there were in this place. According to the instructions, he raised his hand and pinched his thigh hard.

So he suddenly woke up from the "dream" with pain.

After rubbing the part that seemed to be still in phantom pain, Melen got up and put the book back into the black wooden box.

Then he saw that the sapphire on the surface of his secret book was constantly flashing.

That was the prompt that would appear when there was "new news".

When he opened it, Melen was stunned.

"Strange, the old examiner actually defended me?"

Melen, who had no knowledge of his wizard talent, felt that this was a bit strange.

He even suspected that what he did last night had been exposed.

But he was not very worried about this. Even if it was exposed, what would happen?

He didn't do anything bad.

Melen was thinking about one thing now, that is, whether to go back.

If you want to be with a rich woman, or if you want to be an apprentice of Mrs. Chelsea, you must return to the Mixed Blood Association.

But if you return to the association, you will face a little yellow-haired man with unknown purpose...

Thinking of this, Mellen didn't hesitate, and took out a feather pen and a piece of letter paper from his magic pocket and wrote on it-

"Kevin Felix is ​​a human."

"I am also a human."

"So I can know Kevin Felix's recent conspiracy."

After writing, Mellen lowered his eyes.

A series of pictures emerged from his mind.

Kevin paced back and forth in the room with a sad face, Kevin gritted his teeth and cursed, Kevin arrived at the gate of a manor, Kevin rode on horseback and thought deeply...

The continuous pictures were obviously incomplete, and it was obvious that most of the people involved in this matter were higher than Mellen.

But the core Kevin was always clear.     This is actually because he, who seems to be from a big family, is at the same level as Mellen.

Before actually entering the wizard school, all wizards are at the same level, and Melen has known this for a long time.

It is said that rashly raising the level before entering the school will be detrimental to future development.

So Melen easily knew that the other party did want to do something at the banquet.

But because of the participation of higher-level wizards, there is no clue at all...

"What a coincidence."

Melen thought thoughtfully.

A banquet with a trap is about to be held at Ernest Manor.

However, if I remember correctly, the last name of that Jim is Ernest...

He was still thinking about how to get Arthur close to his mother, and now an opportunity has appeared.

In this way, isn't it just right?

But why did Kevin target him?

Melen was very puzzled.

His spiritualism points to the "world", and he can see some scenes that have already happened in the world.

This is magical, but it's a pity that he can only see things that have happened, and it is impossible to know what is in other people's minds.

So Melen felt that there seemed to be no reason for the other party to target him.

Could it be because of that magic?

But if that's the case, this person's character is too narrow, right?

But... it doesn't matter.

After thinking for a while, Melen picked up the secret book and sent a message to examiner Feng.

Then he hurriedly left the hotel.

Melen was going back to the Mixed Blood Association.

But before going back, he had to do one thing.

...

"Please ask Kevin to wait a little longer, I'll go back now!"

The words from the secret book made von der Leyen's expression unconsciously startled, and then he couldn't help but get anxious.

But no matter what he sent next, he didn't see the other party reply, obviously he had already set off to rush back.

"What is this kid thinking?"

"It's obviously a trap, and he still wants to jump in?"

He was a little anxious about this, but on the surface, he couldn't say it.

Because Kevin was sitting opposite the long table.

They were dining in a gorgeously decorated restaurant. Besides examiner Feng, there was also the bald middle-aged Victor who claimed not to care about this mess.

The vice president was telling a not-so-funny joke at the table.

The blond teenager Kevin was drinking cream snail soup from a small bowl with a silver spoon, nodding his head in agreement, and looked completely free of his previous irritability.

But in fact, he was too hungry and needed to fill his stomach urgently, so he had no time to think about anything else.

This was normal, after all, no one could stay full after waiting here for most of the afternoon.

So when the old man who suddenly appeared began to prepare dinner and invited him to dinner, Kevin agreed after a little hesitation.

He was too hungry on the one hand, and on the other hand, he felt that if he went back in disgrace, wouldn't it be a waste of time to wait for so long?

Besides, if he really went back without accomplishing anything, where would his face be?

Although it was Jim who came up with the idea of ​​inviting them openly, he actually agreed to the plan when he agreed.

As a result, it didn't work out...

"As long as I have a full stomach, I can say that the reason I stayed here for so long is actually because these mixed-bloods were so enthusiastic that they insisted on inviting me to dinner here.

"It's not because I haven't seen anyone that I've wasted time..."

With this thought in mind, the blond boy enjoyed the exquisite dishes on the table with peace of mind.

This doesn't mean that he has completely lost his temper, but because he has seen clearly that the two people in front of him can't suppress Mellen at all.

He can't even grasp the whereabouts of the other party.

The relationship between the two parties is not very deep at all.

In this case, what's the matter with him giving these two irrelevant people a cold face?

After all, he is from a big family. Instead of losing his temper at them without cultivation, it's better to go back and trouble those subordinates who provided wrong information.

"Then, how should I deal with the illegitimate child?"

Kevin had a headache about this.

It's very confusing to think about it.

Because he wanted his parents to remarry, he needed to appease his father's temper first, so as not to do something wrong under impulse.

And because he wanted to appease his father's emotions, he had to trouble the illegitimate child again.

The purpose is just to hope that he will not be targeted by his father...

However, the illegitimate child does not cooperate with his plan at all.

Then, the illegitimate child is very likely to be beaten by his father in anger, and it is uncertain whether he can survive...

"He really doesn't know what's good for him."

Kevin thought secretly, but he couldn't ignore it.

This matter is related to the future of his parents at a small level, and it is related to the alliance between the two wizard families at a large level...

However, the plan is not going well at the moment, what should be done to save the situation?

Kevin seemed a little absent-minded at the table because he had something on his mind.

But before he could think of a solution, a commotion suddenly came from outside the restaurant.

The old examiner became a little restless because of this, and Kevin glanced outside the door with a little curiosity.

This look made him suddenly stunned.

Because he finally saw the figure he had been waiting for for a long time!

However...

"How did you become like this!?"

The bald Vice President Victor was the most uneasy. When he saw the visitor, he rushed out and grabbed the visitor's arm, his tone was both annoyed and shocked.

"Uh, who are you?"

Mellen, who showed up, wanted to ask this question.

But seeing the blond boy in the restaurant looking over here with his neck stretched, he didn't say anything else, but sighed with frustration.

"I was chased and beaten several times in the afternoon, and I just got away with great difficulty..."

"Why was I beaten?"

The old examiner not far away asked very cooperatively.

So Mellen hesitated and said: "Because, because of gambling, I owe a lot of debts..."

As soon as these words fell, the expressions of several people immediately became very exciting.
