You call this the mastermind?

Although the Snake School's psychic deduction method is often used by Mellen as a "search engine."

But in fact, the role of this channeling method is not limited to exploring some things that have happened in this world.

"Searching" actually means "communicating" with the world, and then "persuading" through various reasons to let the world tell you what happened to someone or a certain place.

Ordinary psychics obviously cannot communicate with the world, so from this point of view, it can be found that the Snake School's psychic deduction method is a very advanced psychic technique.

Since it is very advanced, it certainly includes the traditional functions of low-level necromancy.

That is, you can communicate with the dead.

Therefore, when Melen found out that the magician was dead, he immediately began to channel the young man named Garcia Parker.

However, the result was the same as his channeling Winnie Kate, which was fruitless.

Mellen frowned at this.

Channeling the dead is not communicating with the spirit of the dead.

In fact, after a normal person dies, the soul cannot remain in this world.

Except for a few, they are similar to the ghosts in the wizard's eyes, or some vicious ghosts and evil spirits that are frequently born when the demonic tide prevails.

After most people die, their souls will dissipate completely.

There is currently no place like the underworld in this world to attract the souls of the dead, so the souls of the dead cannot be used as psychic objects at all.

But after a person dies, as long as his body has not rotted into bones, there will always be spiritual residue in his body, or it can be called soul fragments.

Dialogue with the dead in traditional channeling corresponds to this.

But at the moment, Mellen can't find the remaining spirituality of the other party.

With the heritage of being a potions professor, Meren is certainly no longer the same as the novice he was in the past.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that there were two possible reasons why he could not find the target now.

One is that the other party's body has completely rotted or been burned to ashes, and the remaining spirituality has been completely wiped out, so it is naturally impossible to channel.

But cremation is not popular in this country, so it is most likely the second case.

Some wizard cast some kind of spell on the dead man, and even shrouded the body within the level limit, making it impossible for Meren, the apprentice, to reach it.

"Reanimate corpses? Create corpses? Or use them to carry out blood curses?"

A lot of magical memories related to the dead body emerged one after another as Meren encountered this incident.

But there was so little information available that Mellen couldn't tell which one it was for the time being.

So he thought about it, said goodbye to his brother at home, and went to find the magician's parents who were still alive.

With psychic powers, he easily found them in a store on a commercial street in Graham City.

"Garcia's friend?"

The magician's father is a bald middle-aged man wearing a neat tuxedo, holding a pipe, and staring at a group of workers renovating a shop.

When he heard that Melen was looking for his son, he didn't suspect anything and simply told what he knew.

"Garcia and his fiancée went fishing. What did you do with him?"

"fiancée?"

When Mellen heard this, his mind moved, and he thought of his pimping behavior, so he half-jokingly said:

"He and Miss Kate are progressing so fast. It won't be long before they have a baby, right?"

"Don't give birth now."

The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Obesity is hereditary. If she wants to have children, she must lose some fat on her body."

"It sounds like you can control others."

Before Melen could speak, a middle-aged woman who was equally well-dressed spoke with an unhappy expression, as if she was blaming her husband for his indiscriminate words.

"It would be great for a child born into a wealthy family to like your son. You still want to point fingers at others?"

The focus of this sentence is on wealthy families.

She obviously doesn't want Meren, her son's friend, to only regard her son's fiancée as a simple fat man. “Since you want to marry into our Parker family.”

The balding middle-aged man didn't think much about it and still looked upright.

"Then she is a member of the Parker family. Of course she must listen to her elders. This is tradition."

"Come on."

The woman sneered when she heard this, "Think about how you got this shop. Think about it again. Not long ago, we were almost so poor that we went to the new world. Who..."

The two seemed to be about to quarrel, but they didn't know that their son, who was about to get married, was actually dead.

Mellen turned and left silently.

"The magician is dead, but Winnie Kate used a spell to keep him alive... It's not easy to stay alive, and it's even harder to hide it from others."

“What is the use of expending so much effort to reanimate the corpse of an ordinary person?

"As a doll?"

This is obviously a puzzling question.

But compared to this question, Melen was actually more concerned about why the magician died.

Judging from the current situation, the murderer basically cannot escape Winnie Kate.

The magician got to know Winnie Kate because of himself.

Originally, his fate was not like this...

After frowning and thinking for a while, Meren took out the Book of Secret Words, asked a few questions to the short wizard with whom he had dueled before, and then rushed towards the other party's location.

…

"I originally planned to leave Graham City on a flying broom, but this thing was actually very dangerous. I hit a bird on the way and almost fell off the broom."

The short wizard Mike was staying in a hotel and was still very enthusiastic after seeing Meren.

This is not because Mellon was favored by the Minister of Magic.

In fact, after Mellen said a few days ago that he was unwilling to leave the mixed-race association, this person always advised him to think carefully, instead of hiding away or having a cold attitude.

This is of course because Mellen is "loyal" and has helped him.

On the other hand, he mainly wanted to introduce Melen to his teacher, a chief dueling master who seemed to be quite famous.

"Then I received an invitation from Miss Kate, so I simply didn't leave."

"You have a good relationship?" Mellen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this.

"I like her."

The short wizard said calmly: "This is what I came to Graham for, but I was called by Jim to duel with you on the way."

"Unfortunately, I found out later that she already had a fiancé, who was said to be an ordinary person."

Saying this, he sighed regretfully.

"Of course I don't want to be the third party, so I had planned to leave. But since Miss Kate invited me, I think..."

This guy is obviously evil-minded.

Mellen pondered at this.

Although I didn't pay much attention to it, the chubby Winnie Kate was not a "slightly fat beauty". Instead, she had a small nose and small eyes, without any sense of beauty.

Such a person can attract people to the point where they are willing to be a third party. Obviously, it cannot be purely based on appearance.

"Is she a kind-hearted person?" Mellen asked, "Or is she smart?"

"Uh... I guess so, I don't know."

Mike said with some embarrassment: "Speaking of which, I actually don't know Miss Kate very well. You can regard this as love at first sight."

Mellen was shocked when he heard this.

There is another chapter below. The two chapters are actually one chapter.
