You call this the mastermind?

That night, Mrs. Chelsea talked a lot with Melen.

But they were all some exhortations.

For example, she said that if the Half-Blood Association taught him anything about changing the nature of the third hand, he must not learn it, because what they taught was "rubbish".

Of course, the original words were not like this. This was what Melen understood and translated, and he thought his translation was very appropriate.

Secondly, she also said that the foundation must be laid well, and before that, there was no need to learn any magic.

This foundation refers to some basic wizard knowledge, that is, those things that are memorized by rote.

At this point, she did not say that what the Half-Blood Association taught was rubbish, and it seemed that this level of knowledge would be the same no matter where you learn it.

However, unlike Melen's previous ideas, Mrs. Chelsea meant that he should learn the "full series" of basics instead of specializing in a certain field.

What is this full series?

Mrs. didn't say, but it was obvious that there should be a lot of subjects.

Thirdly, she also reminded Melen that even if he was already a wizard, he could not miss the breathing method that he had taught Melen, and he must practice it every day. This is especially important in the later stages of wizard training.

The reason why Mrs. Chelsea said this was that she had not seen Mellen since the last meeting in the study.

Otherwise, she would have noticed that Mellen's appearance had changed.

Although the old butler Fox had seen Mellen during this period, he did not know the actual situation of the breathing method, so he naturally could not have thought that Mellen's appearance change was related to the breathing method.

So Mrs. Chelsea was so confused that she thought Mellen had not yet learned the breathing method.

She didn't know, so Mellen didn't mention it.

Although this thing seemed to be related to the future of wizards, since the lady said that it was something to be considered in the later stage, he was not interested in asking what role the breathing method would play in the later stage.

Apart from this, there was basically nothing.

The lady meant to let Mellen make up the basics first, and after the basics were made up, she would choose to teach some things that were not in the mixed-blood association.

According to her estimate, this process would take at least two years.

At the same time, because of the accident of the "adventure book", the lady believed that Mellen's talent had not been enhanced, that is, it might not be very good.

But she said that she would test it the next time they met, so there was no need to rush.

She also said that when she had time, she could study the specific situation of the world in the book, and maybe she could "crack" the rules.

Obviously, she already knew the improper setting of the book.

Melen actually wanted to say, why don't we "take risks" according to the rules originally set by others.

Unfortunately, such words can only be thought of.

Although he has become the cousin of the lady inexplicably, this cousin has a time limit, and only in front of her daughter.

At other times, they are still master and apprentice, and they can't say such words that insult their teachers and ancestors.

However, although this cousin identity is not very formal, Melen is still very proud of it.

Regardless of whether there is a time limit or not, the existence of the cousin identity is an important medium. If he wants, he can use this identity to go deep into the lady's family life without leaving a trace.

This is completely different from being an apprentice. It can be said that one is public and the other is private...

Nearly an hour was spent chatting like this.

Although these were all conversations between "master and apprentice", Melen could vaguely sense from these words that the lady was still very attentive to his apprentice, and was not perfunctory as he had thought before.

So Melen felt that his behavior of clinging to the thigh was basically successful.

With a backer, the mentality will naturally change.

So when he woke up from the dormitory of the Mixed Blood Association the next day, Melen looked refreshed.

However, when he walked out of the bedroom, he was shocked by the "enthusiastic" attitude of a group of people.

"I heard that Kevin from the Felix family came to invite you to the banquet in person yesterday. Is it true, Egg?"

Just as Melen went out, a "passing by" young wizard asked curiously.

"It's true."

Melen nodded, and the other party immediately looked at him with envy.

"To be noticed by such a big shot... Did you help him?"

"Well... Let him realize that he is actually a fat sheep, should it be considered as help?"

"Fat sheep?"

"Just kidding, it's just because..."

Merlen made up a random excuse to fool this curious guy.

Then before he could take a few steps, he "ran into" another young wizard at the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"I heard that Kevin from the Felix family waited for us for an afternoon to invite you to the banquet?"

The young wizard asked mysteriously: "Is this true, Egg?"    "It's true."

Merlen continued to nod, "But that's because..."

Send away the second one, and there are the third, fourth, and Nth...

From the corridor to the lounge on the first floor, from the lounge to the cafeteria, and from the cafeteria to the children's classroom on the third floor...

Everyone was obviously very surprised by the news.

After all, that's the Felix family!

A wizarding family with a history of at least a thousand years. The current head of the family is a big shot in the Ministry of Magic, and the family's children are spread across all walks of life in the wizarding world.

With both strength and connections, it is not an exaggeration to call him a giant.

However, this descendant of the giant family actually came to their "third-rate organization" in person, and was willing to sit here and wait for a whole day to invite a new little wizard!

The rumors began to change as they spread. Some said that Mellen actually had the blood of the Felix family, so he was approached by his brother.

Some said that Mellen once occasionally gave a piece of bread to an old beggar on the street. Who would have thought that the old beggar was the father of the patriarch of the Felix family!

Some even said that Mellen's appearance was so beautiful that it could attract both men and women, and the guy named Kevin was dizzy.

So when a large group of young female wizards looked at Mellen again, their eyes became very complicated, sad, curious, excited...

Mellen knew so many rumors, thanks to the fact that he took the initiative to approach a bunch of people on the first day he joined here and made friends with them.

So when everyone heard these remarks, they all came to him to confirm the situation without hesitation.

This made Mellen "the talk of the town" for a while.

However, it's not that no one noticed something wrong here.

"You have to be careful."

Sitting in the children's class, listening to the teacher's explanation of the herbal medicine subject at the podium with a group of children, the little girl Lily beside him whispered to him:

"Although I think it makes sense that Kevin likes you, I think that even if he really likes you, he can't come and invite you so openly."

"Didn't you run out to remind me yesterday that the guy is not a good person?"

Mellen said helplessly: "How come you actually believe that unreliable rumor?"

"Because it does make sense, and..."

The little girl wanted to say that she actually suspected that Mellen didn't like women a long time ago, but then she thought about it and this guess was because of Charlie.

But Charlie's matter obviously has nothing to do with men and women, no, it has nothing to do with men and men, so she was suddenly speechless.

"He's mentally ill at such a young age, there's really no hope for him."

Merlen rolled his eyes at this and was too lazy to continue to pay attention to the other party.

The girl wanted to say something, but the old teacher on the podium suddenly glared at her, so she couldn't say anything more.

The class continued, and Mellen listened very attentively. The teacher obviously took into account the existence of him as a "transfer student" and kept talking about some very basic herbal knowledge.

What he didn't know was that Mellen had already learned this knowledge a long time ago, and the introductory knowledge of herbal medicine that he had drawn last time was clearly engraved in his mind.

Merlen's concentration now was just to judge what this children's class taught.

Or to say, to judge how wide the scope of the foundation mentioned by the lady before was.

Then he would find a way to learn it quickly.

But this matter seemed not to be done by listening to the class alone.

So after this class, Mellen ran to the library of the association and began to look through relevant books.

Then, he found that his gray destiny could actually be used in this regard - as long as the corresponding book is "technical" and can be upgraded, he can learn it quickly.

However, he had to attend a special dinner tonight, so Melen suppressed the idea of ​​wasting his destiny during this period - who knows what will happen at the dinner?

...

Busy and busy, without doing anything serious, the whole day passed quietly.

In the afternoon, the old examiner came to him and asked Melen again if he was sure he could survive the dinner safely.

From what he said, it seems that he wanted to say that if he was really unsure, he would just run away and the money he extorted from Kevin could be used as travel expenses.

However, with Arthur's matter first and his wife's guarantee later, Melen would not quit halfway.

So when the time was approaching, he simply said goodbye to a group of curious babies from the Mixed Blood Association and the worried old examiner, met with Arthur, and rushed to the venue of the dinner, that is, Ernest Manor.

However, when the two arrived at the place, they were very confused by what they saw.

"The theme of this banquet has been changed to a masked ball."

At the entrance of the manor, a waiter with a wing-shaped mask on his face said respectfully after checking Mellen's invitation:

"If you don't have an enchanted mask with you, the Ernest family will provide you with one free of charge."

"What's going on?"

Mellen took a black and gold cat-faced mask with a confused look on his face, and asked Arthur beside him in surprise: "Are wizards from big families so fancy?"
