You call this the mastermind?

The Mixed Blood Association was very lively today. Mellen looked out the bedroom window and saw many people and carriages coming and going at the door of the apartment.

He could vaguely hear some noisy conversations.

But he didn't care what all this meant for the time being.

After getting up from the bed, Mellen didn't put on his coat, and jumped off the bed directly in his underwear-like white shirt and trousers.

Then, he suddenly remembered something.

"Didn't I sleep on the desk? How did I get to the bed?"

"Has anyone been here?"

Mellen was very alert about this, but when he looked down at the bottom of the bed, he found that the sack of harvest he had stuffed in before had not been touched, and the magic pocket in the inner pocket of his coat had always remained the same.

So he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If it's not for money, then it's for sex?"

"Damn... I won't be molested by someone, right?"

He didn't feel anything unusual about his body, but suddenly found that the little snake wrapped around his left hand had completely turned into a black and gold bracelet with a pure texture.

But because Melen didn't know the specific abilities of the snake, he didn't think much about it and thought it was the snake's own "transformation".

I really couldn't figure out what happened last night.

Melen could only sit at the desk with a little trepidation, holding the two mindsets of being taken advantage of and not being taken advantage of, and then absent-mindedly opened one of the encyclopedias.

The attribute panel emerged, and after a glance, Melen didn't find anything unexpected, so he focused on the book itself.

The author of the Wizard Encyclopedia is an organization called the Wizard Education Committee. According to the description, the organization belongs to a place called the Ministry of Magic.

Melen had heard the word Ministry of Magic several times before, including in his previous dreams, but because he had a lot of things to do, he never went to understand it.

Melen thought that this might be a "government department" that manages wizards.

After flipping through the encyclopedia in detail, he found that it was indeed the case, but the record was a little different from what Melen thought.

[Ministry of Magic: Each country has its own Ministry of Magic, which is independent of the secular regime and can be regarded as the ruling body that manages wizards in the country. The minister is uniformly appointed by the International Wizarding Union Council. ]

…

"It should be the wizard government, that International Wizarding Union Council, which may be similar to the United Nations?"

Merlen turned to the corresponding page and found that it was roughly the same, but the power of the International Wizarding Union Council seemed to be much greater than that of the United Nations.

According to the encyclopedia, it seems that except for wizards in a few limited places in the world, all other wizards and the Ministry of Magic of the corresponding country are managed by the International Wizarding Union Council.

Considering that the Ministry of Magic appeared in the previous dream, the Northern Empire, Merlen turned to the corresponding entry.

Then he found that the Northern Empire was not one of the member states of the International Wizarding Union Council.

The wizards there are jointly governed by the Noble Council and the Church.

"The difference between a loose alliance and a centralized empire?"

This thought flashed through Merlen's mind, but he felt it was not quite the same.

Unfortunately, the entry in this encyclopedia only briefly introduced a few sentences, and there was no in-depth content at all, so he had no way to learn more.

Turning to the entry corresponding to the Truth Cult, the introduction above was very intuitive.

[Truth Cult: A cult organization that practices violent missionary behavior in the name of truth, believes in fate, and belongs to the Original Truth Cult. ]

…

[Original Truth Cult: Originated from the ancient Three Gods, the core book is the Original Holy Scripture·Future Chapter. ]

…

When Melen searched for the Ancient Three Gods again, he couldn't find this entry.

Maybe it was not included, or it was harmonized.

He didn't care much about it.

Although because of that dream, Melen felt that he might have some connection with the group of Truth Cultists, and even the so-called child of destiny might be related to him.

But it is still difficult to be sure of the specific relationship, and it is useless to speculate rashly.

Moreover, it doesn't seem to be a good thing to be related to a group of cultists...

Relatively speaking, Melen is very interested in the two entries of gods and churches.

[Gods: generally refers to sacred creatures, generally born from the devout faith of secular people. Each country, each nation, and even some primitive tribes believe in different gods. ]

This entry is quite long, so there are some records below.

[In the Middle Ages, the gods were governed by the two major churches. After the Sun God Church was wiped out by the Night Church, the gods belonging to the Sun God Church were classified as evil gods and were hunted madly. ]

…

[When the magic tide receded and the Night Church fell apart due to religious reforms, the remaining gods also fell into sleep, waiting to be awakened by believers. ]

…

[The job of the gods is to protect believers from the invasion of magic tides, strange things and other dangers. After the magic tide receded, faith crises occurred frequently, and the power of gods in various places was greatly weakened, but still…]

…

The gods in this world are relatively weak, but Melen didn't expect that they would be so weak - they were actually managed by religion in turn?

As a time traveler, Melen had learned about the two major religions that once dominated this world, namely the Sun God and the Night.

In fact, the school he attended when he was a child was founded by the church and had specialized theology classes.

However, it may be due to the supernatural being involved, or it may be due to the fact that many contents have been "harmonized", but he never knew that these two major churches could in turn manage the gods...

After flipping through the wizard's encyclopedia, Mellen found that the records about the church were not much different from what he remembered.

However, the encyclopedia emphasizes that the "Sun God" and "Dark Night" they each believe in do not refer to two specific goals, but two concepts.

In other words, two kinds of supernatural phenomena have different manifestations in the so-called demonic tide. “Everything seems to originate from the so-called magic tide.”

This thought flashed through Mellen's mind, but after flipping through the relevant pages, he found that the book did not provide any profound information.

It's just that when the magic tide exists, the world is full of strange creatures and monsters, which is very dangerous.

But later, due to "unknown" reasons, the demonic tide disappeared, and the world was at peace.

Considering the dream he had before, Mellen thought it must have been artificially sealed.

And it seems that soon, this seal will be opened...

"Isn't this the recovery of magic power?"

He judged this quickly.

"For some reason, the tide of magic receded, and some lives that could only survive in a high-magic environment died or fell asleep. The two concepts believed in by the two major churches no longer existed, so the rule of the church naturally collapsed. …”

"But, what is the so-called spring of heaven?"

Mellen was puzzled by this. He looked through the encyclopedia and found no related words.

Just by looking at the word "Kingdom of Heaven", you can guess that this word is related to religion.

For example, the kingdom of gods in the sky, heaven, a happy place after death, etc.

Related existences include angels, the Holy Spirit and so on.

Correspondingly, it is naturally hell.

But there are no entries on these two aspects in the encyclopedia.

Mellen suspected that this might be the reason for the harmonization.

Or is it a secret that cannot be made public?

"Maybe I should ask the teacher?"

"After all, in the dream, she should be the one protecting me. I think she must be related to the Kingdom of Heaven."

The emergence of this idea made Mellen take out his book of secret words from his magic pocket.

Then he discovered that the other party had sent him a bunch of messages without knowing when.

The message basically said two things.

The first thing is that the murderer behind last night's incident and the two previous incidents was found. He was one of her "enemy".

The enemy's purpose for doing this was, firstly, to take revenge on her, and secondly, it was related to the mixed-blood wizard. The specific connection still needs to be investigated.

She also claimed that the enemy was in the dark and it was difficult to catch specific traces. However, the enemy's main target was her, so there was a high probability that they would retaliate against her.

But this is not certain. If the enemy is not confident that he can successfully retaliate against her, then he is very likely to target Meren.

Because the other party had already guessed that Melen was her apprentice.

Therefore, Mrs. Chelsea told Mellen to be vigilant in the next period of time and put his own safety first. It would not be too late to wait for her to find the murderer before "jumping".

The second incident involves Jim's father.

Mrs. Chelsea claimed that Jim's father was bewitched by her enemy with "the power of the devil", which is why he behaved so abnormally.

Now she has removed this bewitching power, so Meren doesn't have to worry about his friend Arthur being hurt again.

This devil should be related to hell, right?

When Mellen saw this, his thoughts moved, so he raised his pen and asked.

"What is the devil?"

He thought it would take a long time for a reply to this inquiry.

After all, what happened last night will definitely make the teacher himself very busy.

Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have "set" his message to "important message". As soon as Meren finished asking, there was a response from the other party.

"It is a high-level life, one of the most difficult to deal with among the strange creatures."

Seeing her "online", Meren hurriedly asked: "Did the strange things originate from the demonic tide? Where did the demonic tide come from?"

"A place called hell."

The other party responded like this.

Seeing this, Mellen was about to ask if there was a place called heaven, but Mrs. Chelsea seemed to have a tact and mentioned the question he wanted to ask.

"The corresponding one is the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Heaven?"

"The Kingdom of Heaven, also known as the Kingdom of the Clouds, is the birthplace of the Holy Spirit, and the original founders of the two major churches were the Holy Spirits."

Mrs. Chelsea replied: "I told you before that the first generation of wizards were known as saints walking on earth. This title actually corresponds to the Holy Spirit in heaven."

"The church comes from the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit comes from heaven, then..."

After Mellen thought for a moment, he asked, "Where does the kingdom of heaven come from?"

"Legend has it that a mysterious substance called the Fountain of Heaven created the Kingdom of Heaven."

The rich woman was not a Riddler, so the answer appeared in Mellen's eyes smoothly.

But he felt more and more confused.

"Because of the former dominance of the two major churches, the Spring of Heaven is also called by wizards the origin of all things, the final destination of the soul, the breath of life, or the mother of the world."
