You call this the mastermind?

In the dim living room, Mrs. Chelsea appeared in front of the fireplace with a tense face, and her eyes immediately looked at Mellen who was sitting there.

After seeing that he was intact, her face was slightly relieved, but her expression was still not very good.

"Why didn't you respond to me just now?"

Mellen opened his mouth when he heard this, and wanted to say that he had been fooled once before.

But before he could speak, the lady not far away suddenly froze, and then hurriedly walked towards the bedroom.

Then she saw her daughter on the bed in the bedroom, who was wrapping herself in the quilt, only opening a slit, revealing a pair of eyes looking out cautiously.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chelsea's tense face completely relaxed.

But then she seemed to think of something, her expression changed, and she raised her hand to lift the quilt on her daughter.

She didn't see any disheveled situation, which made her secretly relieved.

However, as the quilt was moved away, a strange smell spread faintly, which was completely different from the body fragrance of the girl.

A hint of doubt flashed in the lady's eyes.

However, her emotions were instantly restrained after she saw her daughter shrinking back into the quilt again.

"Why are you running around instead of staying at the banquet?"

The lady asked lightly, her expression did not change much, but anyone could see that she was very unhappy now.

"Kevin was almost crazy when he couldn't find you before."

"I... How did I know that a group of enemies would appear here..."

Alyssa, who was hiding in the quilt, argued in a low voice, but then she seemed to have thought of something, and her tone suddenly became louder.

"You, you didn't tell me that your cousin is a young little brother!"

What is a little brother?

Mellen, who was looking out of the door, blinked when he heard the words.

You really look down on people.

How does he look like a little brother?

"He is my cousin."

The lady said coldly: "If he is not a little brother, how can he be a big brother?"

Obviously she was really angry, otherwise she would not have said such disrespectful words in front of her new apprentice.

However, after hearing this, Alyssa became more justified, or rather, the anger that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time rushed to her head instantly.

After getting her messy blond head out of the quilt and facing her mother, she shouted in an angry tone: "The big brother is normal, the little brother is a pervert!"

"...Who is a pervert?"

"You are a pervert!"

"You——"

Seeing her daughter's attitude, Mrs. Chelsea felt a little incredible.

She just got into trouble, where did she get the courage to argue with her?

Is it possible that the older the daughter is, the more unreasonable she is?

A wave of anger grew from the bottom of her heart in vain.

But when she saw the girl wrapped in the quilt facing her with her face up, she not only did not feel guilty at all, but also looked very angry, and she instantly lost the mood to continue talking.

This child is so rebellious that it is impossible to communicate with him. If he continues to talk, the quarrel will only get worse.

"Before school starts, you should stay at home and behave yourself."

After replying with disappointment, Mrs. Chelsea turned around and wanted to leave.

However, Alyssa was also very confused at this time. She had done something wrong, but her mother had the nerve to question her? ?

That was a little boy of the same age as her, and even looked younger!

How could she have the nerve to do it?

It would be fine if she had the nerve, but she actually looked so righteous! ?

"If you hadn't insisted on asking me to attend this banquet, do you think I would be willing to come?"

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The girl shouted angrily at her mother's back:

"And Kevin, why don't you make him anxious to death? I can go wherever I want! Who cares what he thinks!"

The voice even had a little crying tone, and Mrs. Chelsea paused when she heard it.

Then she turned to look at her daughter, as if she wanted to say something.

But at this moment, Alyssa had covered her head with the quilt again, facing the wall with her back facing outward.

This was her standard posture for refusing to speak again.

"You should reflect on yourself here first."

The lady then said lightly: "I will go and talk to your uncle and take you home later."

This did not get a response, but she was used to it.

Turning to leave the bedroom and closing the door, Mrs. Chelsea looked at the black-haired boy who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking like I didn't hear anything.

"You did a good job tonight."

Sitting on the sofa opposite Mellen, the lady was silent for a moment, and then said to Mellen: "Except for a few unlucky children, most people are safe and sound. It can be said that you saved them."

She didn't mention what happened to the enemies, but seeing that she was dressed neatly and not dirty at all, it can be proved that the two sides were not on the same level at all.

"This is all thanks to you--"

"If it weren't for your reminder, there would be trouble here tonight, and I didn't know anything about it beforehand."

The lady interrupted him.

"That's the truth. You don't need to be polite in front of me. It's better to be honest between apprentices and teachers--now, show me your wand."

After hearing this, Mellen obediently took out his small wand and handed it to the other party.

The room fell into silence.

After the white and slender fingers gently pinched the bone wand like a pointer, the lady lowered her head to observe for a moment, and then tapped the wand with her healthy crescent-shaped white nails a few times, and then looked at Mellen with surprise.

"It has been running at full capacity in your hand?"

"Well, I don't really understand this..." Mellen replied in a low voice.

"You don't even know how talented you are?"    Mrs. Chelsea frowned, but when she saw that Mellen's confused look did not seem to be fake, she understood it instantly.

"The Mixed Blood Association did not tell you the truth, perhaps because they were afraid that you would be complacent. I also neglected this point and thought--"

The words suddenly stopped, and she did not continue, but her face became not very good.

That was obviously not because of Mellen, maybe it was associated with...herself?

The super senses allowed Mellen to vaguely feel the other party's mood at the moment.

He could actually understand this.

After all, at the first banquet, Melen knew that the lady in front of him had basically not encountered any setbacks in the first half of her life, and there was even a large part of arrogance in her character without knowing it.

During this period, she was assassinated and provoked, and even the incident tonight was obviously related to this temperament defect-

Graham City is Mrs. Chelsea's territory after all, but a group of people actually hid from her ears and wanted to carry out a "terrorist attack" here...

If it weren't for the accidental choice of Melen, if they chose someone else as the trigger for this attack, or chose other events to secretly mix in this disaster.

The outcome of this incident tonight would be completely different.

"There is an old saying in the East."

Seeing that the other party was silent, Melen said boldly: "It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them..."

"Why don't I know there is such an old saying in the East?"

The lady looked up and glanced at him, but she was not unhappy because the apprentice in front of her was teaching her how to do things.

But she was not interested in talking to Melen about this matter in depth.

Therefore, without waiting for Mellen's response, she changed the subject.

"You can use this wand perfectly, which means that your talent is not only not bad, but very strong."

"It can even be said that you are the second most talented wizard I have ever seen, so I need to change your training plan."

"The basic learning of the whole system cannot be changed, but it is not cost-effective to spend two years or even longer."

"I have a hunch that the wizarding world may not be peaceful in the next two years. You must have the power to protect yourself as soon as possible."

At this point, she pondered for a while, and then said:

"I heard that the Mixed Blood Association has a rare memory inheritance that can make people learn something quickly. Their president should be able to arrive in Graham tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. At that time, I will find a way to let him open up the right to this inheritance to you."

"In addition, your talent can only be cultivated by top wizard schools."

As she said this, Mrs. Chelsea's eyes flashed with hesitation, but then she seemed to have made up her mind and continued to speak.

"The only top schools closest to the Blackthorn United Kingdom are the Royal Wizard Academy of the Northern Empire and Saint Grant Castle on Lei Island."

"My influence in the former is not strong, and I can't guarantee that you will be absolutely safe there. So I will arrange you to the latter."

"But you still need to help me keep an eye on the affairs of the Mixed Blood Association, and your relationship with me cannot be exposed for the time being, so I will ask Saint Grant Castle to give a batch of admissions to the Mixed Blood Association."

"In this way, with your talent, the association will definitely give you one of the places."

This was said lightly, and Melen couldn't help but be secretly shocked when he heard it.

He remembered that when the old examiner robbed him on the street, he also mysteriously claimed that there was a top school admission qualification in the association, and if he joined the association, he would have the opportunity to compete for it.

He also said that only a few people knew about this matter at present, and most people were still unaware of it, and it was an absolute secret...

As if it was some extraordinary opportunity.

However, now, the lady casually said a lot...

"But you need to promise me one thing."

Just when Mellen's love for the rich woman began to stir again, he heard Mrs. Chelsea's tone suddenly change to stern.

"You must stick to your heart and maintain your uncle's identity in front of Alyssa. You must not do anything out of line!"

Stick to your heart?

Mellen blinked when he heard it.

Are you hinting at me?

But this shouldn't be possible...I just thought of this and you knew it, isn't it a telepathic connection?

And, what does this have to do with your daughter?

He was a little puzzled in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded firmly.

"Don't worry, I will never let you down."

"That's good."

The lady was very satisfied with Mellen's attitude, and even showed a rare relief on her face.

But here, it's basically over.

After returning the wand in her hand to Mellen, she stood up from the sofa.

"That's it for now. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me using the Book of Secret Languages."

After saying this, she hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Also, although you handled this matter satisfactorily today, you'd better be more cautious in your future actions. Don't get involved in such matters if you can."

"Wizards have all kinds of strange methods, and it is normal in the wizarding world to decide life and death in an instant. Some wizards also have very extreme personalities. If you are in the limelight, you will inevitably be targeted by some madmen."

"You are my apprentice, and I don't want to hear about your death suddenly."

"I know." Meren nodded like a little baby.

But seeing the lady in front of him preparing to leave, he hesitated for a moment and then suddenly said: "I actually have a question that I want to ask you..."

"It is a very normal behavior for students to ask teachers for advice."

Mrs. Chelsea, who was planning to go to the bedroom to pick up her daughter, paused, then turned her head and said calmly: "You don't have to be so shy. Tell me, what's the problem?"

"Do you know that there is a kind of person who can...well, can ignore the wizard's protective magic and directly inflict damage to their body?"

"For example, cutting off the wizard's head without any hindrance?"

Mrs. Chelsea, who thought Mellen just wanted to ask for some basic knowledge, was startled, and then her expression instantly became serious.

"Where did you meet this kind of person?"
