You call this the mastermind?

What do humans desire most?

Power, wealth, status...

Among the many choices, flying is obviously one of the more obvious options.

In his previous life, Mellen longed to fly. He also played hang gliding for a while and even participated in a challenge event held by a certain energy drink.

It was only after a flight accident that he almost had a flight accident that he gave up this hobby.

Unfortunately, such a life-saving behavior did not save him from a violent death in the end.

A traffic accident knocked his soul away, and then he was inexplicably reincarnated into this world.

So Mellen sometimes thought that it would be better to die in an accident while playing hang gliding.

At least the death is relatively rare, and maybe it can be on the news.

And now, when he found that he had turned into an animal that could fly, he immediately became excited.

Before, he had considered buying a flying broom to experience it when school started in Saint Grant Castle.

Who would have thought that he would have the ability to fly before school started!

Turning into a bird in person is much better than flying in the sky with a broom!

So even though he was a rookie, after a little adaptation, Mellen couldn't wait to flap his wings and prepare to experience his first flight.

There was no sense of unfamiliarity or even disharmony.

It seemed that as he transformed into a bird, some instinct also attached to his body.

In the quiet bedroom, the black crow on the floor jumped a few times in place, then fluttered its wings and rushed to the world outside the half-open window!

Everything in my eyes immediately became very different.

The sound of the wind passed by my ears at a high speed, and the wide streets and people on the streets were slowly shrinking as the crow flew higher and higher.

The blue sky kept approaching, and the clouds gradually turned into a sea of ​​clouds.

Finally, when it rushed into the gap between the clouds floating in the sky, the city of Graham had become a huge "scar" on the border of the vast green wilderness.

This scar is now quietly sitting on the edge of the sea, and countless ships are anchored at its edge.

The railways full of industrial atmosphere crisscross on the other side of the sea, like many blood vessels connecting the scar.

The trains running on the railway were like blood being transported in the blood vessels, or like worms slowly crawling forward, breathing out black mist as they crawled.

The scenery on the earth was so vast and varied, and the sky was even better.

The feeling of moving forward without a plane and being able to move freely up, down, left, and right was very strange, which made Mellen's head empty and he had no mind to think about anything else.

Only flying.

Flying back and forth.

About an hour later, his excitement slowly subsided.

After looking at the vast white fog and clouds on both sides, the palm-sized crow flapped its wings and dived towards Graham, whose outline was vague below.

During this period, he met a young wizard riding a broom, swaying in the sky, with a huge package on his back, who seemed a little familiar.

But Mellen ignored him, and flew past him quickly, almost shaking him off.

Fearful and angry shouts followed from behind, and then quickly disappeared as the crow flew away.

The high-altitude sunlight enveloped the scene, accompanied by the sea breeze, full of magical meaning.

…

After flying for so long, Mellen did not feel any fatigue.

He found that his ability to absorb certain substances from the outside world did not disappear with the transformation.

In this way, Mellen suspected that he might not have any problems flying all the time.

But after the novelty passed, his mind regained its calmness, and he did not intend to continue doing such meaningless things.

He landed on the top of a clock tower on the side of Graham Municipal Square with a sense of satisfaction.

After the crow's spirited little eyes scanned the sparse crowd in the square below, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an inexplicable cousin waiting at home.

So he flapped his wings again and rushed towards a certain direction that he had been away for a long time.

However, before he reached his destination, when he passed by Chelsea Manor, Mellen was attracted by a figure with a worried face and hurried steps on the lawn of the manor below.

"What happened to Kevin, the little yellow-haired boy?" He was a little curious.

"Did he encounter something urgent?"

Anyway, he was not in a hurry to see his cousin, so Mellen circled over Chelsea Manor for a few more circles.

But he was "overwhelmed with success" and obviously ignored that there was a top wizard below.

The crow's circle was like a sudden touch of a switch, making it numb all over its body, and then its wings were out of control, and its whole body fell to the ground below!

Mellen was terrified.

But before he could think about whether to cancel the transformation and exchange his resistant body for his next tragic fate.

He was caught in a white and tender palm, and his whole body was imprisoned under five slender fingers.

This look was like a little monkey under the Five Finger Mountain, unable to do anything except twisting its body randomly.     The wings had no sense of touch, but the cold body temperature was transmitted from this hand to Mellen's body, causing him to shiver unconsciously, but he quickly calmed down.

A delicate and pale face then looked down at him.

The owner of the face had golden hair tied up, and a bunch of bangs on his forehead were slightly bent.

Staring at the bird in her hand, there was a hint of doubt in her beautiful green eyes.

"Are you... Melen?"

The hoarse voice had a strange tone, as if she had discovered something that she didn't understand.

Mellen blinked his eyes when he heard this, looking very innocent.

The one who caught him was his teacher.

Not long ago, they had discussed transfiguration.

As a result, it didn’t take long...

There's no way a real self-transformation spell could be this weak, but this bird isn't a real bird.

So Mrs. Chelsea naturally thought of her apprentice, the special transformation technique mentioned before.

Although this crow doesn't have any distinguishing features on the outside, its demeanor and smell are very familiar.

So she came up with this guess and was very confused about it.

But before the lady could continue to speak, the servant ushered a blond-haired boy over.

Mrs. Chelsea then stuffed Meron into the black cuff of her left hand decorated with gold to prevent outsiders from seeing it.

Without those five fingers, Meren felt that the coldness around his body had weakened.

But now he doesn't feel well either.

Because the space inside the cuff is narrow, it is completely blocked, and one small eye is pressed against the teacher's smooth and white wrist, making it difficult for the body to move.

There is also a faint fragrance coming from the surroundings. It is not clear whether it is the smell of perfume or natural body fragrance.

Mellen's "nose" was a little itchy due to the smell, and he sneezed unconsciously. The bird's head swayed a bit, and it rubbed randomly on the other person's wrist.

The lady outside therefore raised her hand and patted him through her sleeves, signaling him to stop.

Meren then didn't dare to move any more.

Then he heard Kevin's voice coming clearly from outside.

"I came to see you this time because I actually want to ask you about my mother."

Xiao Huangmao's voice sounded a little worried, as if something had happened to her mother, which aroused Melen's inner curiosity.

"You are mother and son, what do you need to ask me about?" A hoarse voice came from the top of the head.

"I actually haven't contacted my mother for a long time."

Kevin said in an awkward tone: "Because of the divorce with my father, she has deleted my contact information in the Book of Secret Words... I was thinking that you are my mother's good friend after all. Maybe there is something wrong with her. Will you tell me?"

"Juliana can be really impulsive sometimes."

Mrs. Chelsea responded like this, which made Melen stunned.

"Tell me, what do you want to know about?"

"Grandpa said she has come to Graham City, but I haven't heard any news about it, so I want to ask you where my mother is now."

"She came to Graham?"

The lady seemed a little surprised, "I didn't hear that either. What is she doing here?"

"It's not certain yet. Grandpa said it might be related to the gathering of truth believers."

With this answer, Kevin was obviously disappointed.

After that, the two of them stopped talking.

After chatting for a few words, Kevin said goodbye and left.

Mrs. Chelsea pondered for a moment, took out the book of secret words and sent a few messages to someone.

Then, she reached out and took Melon out of her sleeve.

"You should change back first," the lady said after placing the crow on the low table, "otherwise it will be difficult for us to communicate."

Mellen blinked when he heard this.

He wanted to change.

But he has no clothes on...
