You call this a black hand?

The week from the end of July to the beginning of August in the year 1864 of the New Calendar is a rather special time period in the United Kingdom of Blackthorn.

In just a few days, newspapers first broke the news that the mixed-race wizard Egg Wilson, who had made a lot of noise some time ago, had mysteriously disappeared. It was suspected that he had been targeted by some conspirators and had died.

Subsequently, Kevin Felix, an outstanding young wizard who had collaborated with Egg Wilson, used a newspaper to lash out at some domestic terrorists and was deliberately destroying the peaceful status quo of the wizarding world.

He also claimed that these people who attacked friends of the Felix family would definitely face retribution.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Felix family will take action next and use thunderous means to crack down on certain suspected gangs in order to restore the damage to their prestige caused by the death of "Kevin's Friend".

However, when certain newspapers under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic suddenly published a large amount of speculation and evidence that Egger was suspected of being targeted by some extreme purebloods.

This matter has changed from the issue of "terrorists" to the issue of the situation of mixed-race wizards.

As a result, a vigorous verbal and written campaign was born under this circumstance.

And it's getting worse.

In the United Kingdom, every wizarding newspaper has more or less reported on this matter.

Even in some surrounding countries, many people are discussing this.

This is mainly because the heat surrounding the "Kevin" incident some time ago has not completely dissipated.

Mellen has just given himself the buff of political correctness, and even the Minister of Magic came out to support him.

Therefore, his sudden disappearance is highly discussed and representative in an environment where mixed-race wizards are discriminated against.

Under the guidance of thoughtful people, mixed-blood wizards were generally indignant about this, believing that this must be another bad act by extreme pure-bloods to kill outstanding mixed-bloods.

It's a pity that although they are all very angry, it is only when there is controversy that there will be continued discussion.

Among the extreme pure-blood group who were innocently shot, no one came forward to admit this.

After all, this matter not only involves the Felix family, but also the shadow presence of the Minister of Magic.

Anyone who stands up and "pretends to claim credit" will certainly receive praise from extreme factions.

But afterwards, Felix and the Ministry of Magic "killed the chicken to scare the monkeys", but no one could bear it.

Even if you can bear it, it's still a waste of money.

Therefore, although the atmosphere of public opinion is one-sided, anyone with a discerning eye can see that under the general silence of the extreme pure-blood group, the popularity of this matter will dissipate in a few days.

However, before this happened, new changes appeared.

The Wizarding Education Newspaper, which is affiliated with the Education Committee, suddenly published a photo of Egg Wilson!

The photo taken by the wizard is black and white and dynamic. In the photo, the black-haired boy is wearing a simple white nightgown, with a weak smile on his face, shaking hands with a middle-aged bald man and posing for the photo.

This was actually the product of Mellen's "hard-to-reject kindness" when he pretended to be sick and refused to be interviewed, and he didn't put much thought into it.

However, the appearance of this photo once again detonated the current situation of public opinion in the United Kingdom!

Adult wizards are talking about Egger, young wizards are talking about Egger, children aged seven or eight and elderly people are also talking about Egger.

Regarding his "disappearance", many people were even more saddened and cursed him, most of them were witches.

This is a very exaggerated thing. Normally, even if Mellen is earth-shatteringly handsome, it would not have such an effect.

Not to mention his frail appearance, which is very detrimental to his image.

However, the brighter the public image, the better. Some people are beautiful, but the public is not interested in them.

On the contrary, those with less eye-catching looks will gain a lot of popularity from passers-by.

Excluding natural factors, this actually still involves some technical issues.

Although Melen didn't care much about this photo, his indifference was different from that of normal people.

Some things have been engraved in his bones and he can do them instinctively.

For example, through some expressions, demeanor and body movements, you can make others feel close to you.

It can be said that the effect of a simple photo is very similar to that of his previous interview, and it is more intuitive and contagious.

As a result, Mellen became completely "popular" and became a household name in the wizarding world of the United Kingdom.

It's certainly not just because of the photos.

A series of discussions triggered by his disappearance were already very heated, and people had long been curious about what he looked like.

Behind the scenes, the behemoth Ministry of Magic is adding fuel to the flames.

The article Mellen was interviewed before was very suitable for shaping his personal image.

With this photo, it is easy to imagine that the missing person is not a stranger, but a lively, friendly and lively boy next door who lives around you.

This is very critical.

Because whether it is relevant to people's lives is one of the main influencing factors of how popular the news can be.

In modern society, if a vicious incident breaks out in a strange city, it will be discussed with completely different enthusiasm than if a vicious incident breaks out in the city next door.

A company boss who dies suddenly at work has completely different emotional effects from an ordinary employee who dies suddenly at work.

Therefore, for the first time in the wizarding world of the United Kingdom, a very rare trend emerged that "mixed-blood wizards are also wizards".

No matter which side people stand on privately, when asked about their attitude on this matter in public, they all have to criticize those wizards who do extreme things.

Otherwise, you have evil thoughts and no compassion!

It is obvious that due to various factors, this matter has been artificially promoted from a disappearance incident to a political incident.

It was under this circumstance that some discussions related to improving the situation of all mixed-races frequently appeared on the meeting table of the Ministry of Magic.

The wizards who were involved in the incident may not feel much about it.

They talked about the victim's name, discussed the victim's life, were filled with indignation at what happened to the victim, and speculated on the probability that the victim was still alive, but that was all.

However, some people with a keen sense of smell can already detect that the name Egg Wilson will inevitably be recorded in the history of magic.

…

As a person involved, Melen didn't know that before he had time to think about how to make himself more correct, someone was already eager to add buffs to him.

In fact, being trapped in the dark world, he had forgotten about adding buffs.

After discovering the secret technique a while ago and spying on an enemy, he was woken up by his teacher and asked about the specific situation in detail.

Meren, who could not tell the truth, only claimed that he used the resonance method of possession to try to control those mysterious substances, so he inexplicably solved the food problem.

This is obviously something beyond the understanding of normal wizards.

Mrs. Chelsea has been reviewing this information during this period, hoping to find similar sequences to prevent apprentice Mellen from encountering any dangerous situations in the future.

There seemed to be some progress in her research, and she even said yesterday that she had some initial clues.

This made Meren feel frightened for a while, wondering if he had stepped into some pit by mistake.

However, the teacher said that the specific situation could only be confirmed after Melen left here and carefully examined his body.

So there is no need to rush to deal with this matter for the time being.

In contrast, Mellen is actually more concerned about the current situation of the teacher’s daughter——

The blond girl named Alyssa didn't know that it was her mother who knocked her unconscious that day, and thought it was a move that Meren couldn't bear after hearing her perverted story.

This made the girl, who had regained her clarity due to her improved condition, extremely ashamed.

So when she woke up, she looked ashamed to see people, or in other words, to see Mellen.

During this period, except when she was hungry or thirsty and had to slowly move over to be fed by Melun, she basically hid in a pothole ten meters away from Melun and rarely interacted with Meiren.

Lun speaks.

This disappointed Mellen.

Because he was still thinking about secretly encouraging her to call her daddy when the teacher was away.

But apart from such dirty thoughts, he didn't forget about business.

Taking advantage of a lot of free time, Melen has successfully practiced the top knight defense technique.

This kind of behavior is to avoid the sight of girls and teachers.

So in silence, no one knew that Melun was no longer Wu Xia Amen.

At the same time, Mellen used his strange secret skills to spy on, or spy on, the enemy named the nun every day.

It's a pity that the fat lady he can possess is more like the nun's bed-warming maid and human-shaped pillow than the nun's confidant.

When possessed by her, apart from experiencing unhealthy encounters every now and then, there is basically no other gain.

Mellen only knew that the nun was contacting someone to prepare to formally enter the desolate plain where he was on the fifth of this month, the day after tomorrow.

Mellen had no idea how to get in and who to contact.

The teacher seemed to know when the enemy would come and was also prepared.

So Mellen didn't think about how to remind the other party.

All in all, although he was trapped in this dark place during this period, his life was still full of color.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The only thing Melen couldn't control was the fate he gained after changing the fate of the blonde girl Alyssa.

In other words, something extracted from destiny.

That's a name.

A name with mysterious power.
