You call this a black hand?

The darkness in the sky is still going on, and the cold wind is still blowing around.

But I don’t know when it started. This situation has been stable or even slowly weakening.

The invisible threat became weaker and weaker.

At the same time, because it was basically the same time period as the occurrence of this mutation, people paid more attention to the continuous roar outside Graham City.

No one noticed that the changes in the world and the loud roar were actually two completely different things.

The atmosphere in Chelsea Manor was therefore in a stable state. The servants had no idea that everything happening around them was related to their own family. Although they were talking about it, it was just a kind of chat after work.

When he met Mellen's round-faced Martin, he focused all his attention on how to "hold his thighs" and basically ignored everything else.

After saying hello, he saw that Melen looked weak, so he hurriedly ran over to help her.

However, when he reached halfway out of his hand, he immediately retracted it.

Looking down at the frost particles appearing on his fingers, Martin's face became quite shocked.

"Why is it so cold?"

I also want to know why it's so cold...

Mellen's lips opened and closed tremblingly, but what he said was another matter.

"I was wandering around the manor and accidentally fell into an ice cave."

"Why are there ice holes in the manor?"

Martin was even more shocked when he heard this, "Besides, what kind of ice cave can freeze you like this?"

"who knows?"

Mellen said as he moved towards his residence, "Just, I was walking normally, and suddenly I fell in."

"...Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"

"No, I'm much better now. I'll go back and take it easy, take it easy, there should be no problem."

He obviously didn't care about anything else.

After seeing this, Martin stopped talking, but he didn't tell anything about Kevin's father, and made up his mind to cover it up for him.

Just when he was thinking this, his eyes couldn't help but take a few glances at the long, squirming living thing inside the other person's clothes.

It seemed to be a snake, constantly wrapping around Egger's body?

Ice cave and snake...

Will Egg fall into Madam's snake cave?

Thinking of this possibility, the little round face couldn't help but tremble.

No one knows what the snake den where Mrs. Chelsea keeps her pets looks like, so maybe the snake den is an ice den?

But if that's the case, he can't get involved in this kind of thing.

After all, if not for his wife’s consent, how could Egg find the mysterious snake cave?

So he decided not to think about it anymore, and while walking back, he used the Book of Secret Words to tell Kevin that he had not found Egg.

He thought that this was basically the case.

But who knew, the other party's next response would shock him.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Pop has found him for me. Thank you very much."

Martin is not the only young wizard who belongs to the Chelsea family. The manor is very large, and Madam usually does not prohibit young people from activities in some public places.

So it would not be incomprehensible if Kevin contacted more people to ask if they had seen Iger.

This made Martin quite depressed.

"I should have asked Egger to hide first..."

He murmured, but did not take any remedial measures.

Because he didn't think the matter was serious anymore. After all, anyone who saw Iger's appearance could understand that he definitely needed to cultivate himself.

Iger himself is the lady's guest, and no one can force him to go out to meet people.

Even if Kevin's father wanted to talk to him about something, he couldn't be so arrogant and unreasonable as to drag a "seriously ill" junior over, right?

Siluke

With this idea in mind, he soon saw a middle-aged man with gray temples rushing towards a certain direction of the manor with a stern expression.

And beside him, the young wizard named Pope was guiding him!

"What's going on?" Martin was shocked when he saw this.

It was inconvenient for Egg to go see someone, but Kevin's father actually took the initiative to find him?

What's the emergency and I have to see him right away?

After all, he is also a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic... How could he be so careless about his appearance?

Feeling that something was wrong, Martin quickly reported the matter to his grandfather.

The other party did not respond.

But when Martin worriedly ran to the living area where Iger lived, he found that his grandfather was accompanying the middle-aged man with a cane, looking politely welcoming.

But his presence did not slow down the stern-looking father Kevin.

At this moment, the man was already walking along the stairs towards the second floor of the living area.

His expression and demeanor are quite steady, but his behavior is very "reckless".

Martin heard his grandfather inviting him to wait in the lobby on the first floor. He went upstairs to call Egg down.

As a result, the other party was indifferent.

"Since I'm injured, it's not convenient for me to go downstairs."

The middle-aged man responded to this suggestion with a blank expression.

"Although he is a junior, there are some things that do not require rigid compliance with rules. I am not the kind of person who cares about personal appearance and status."

This seems to be a very polite thing to say, but his behavior of "forcibly breaking into the ward" shows no good intentions.

He looked so unscrupulous, as if he regarded Chelsea Manor as his home.

As a member of the Chelsea family, Martin was inevitably angry about this.

On the contrary, the young wizard named Pop who had guided the middle-aged man before felt very strange about the appearance of the little round face.

"Master Gray must have something urgent to do when he acts like this. I think it would be understandable even if Madam knew about it. Why are you so angry?"

"Kevin hasn't married the lady yet."

Martin found it difficult to agree with this and even sneered, "This is the Chelsea family, not Felix. He is a guest, not a host."

"There seems to be something wrong with you?"

Pop was a brown-haired boy with a handsome face. He couldn't help but be even more surprised when he saw this.

"I saw you and Egg chatting before, but then you turned around and said you didn't find anyone... If you didn't help Kevin, why did you defend that half-blood instead?"

"I'm just upholding the rules of the manor."

Martin said sternly: "It's not convenient for the guest to see him, so of course I have to cover it up for him."

Only a fool would believe your words...

The brown-haired Pop was thoughtful when he heard the words.

The family has been loyal to Chelsea for generations. He and Martin have been friends since childhood, but they can also be regarded as competitors.

Usually, relying on his grandfather who was the housekeeper for his wife, Martin always overpowered him and even other young wizards in certain matters.

He is obviously not very smart, but he is actually the most advantageous one.

This situation is very annoying, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Who told him to have a "powerful" grandfather?

However, precisely because of this, although he despised Martin himself, it was impossible for the young wizard named Pope not to pay attention to what he had done.

Because this is most likely what Grandpa Martin ordered behind his back.

"So, that half-blood Egger is not simple?"

"But no matter how simple it is, how can he be more important than Kevin?"

The young wizard couldn't understand this.

Even if Egger is extremely talented, has great future potential, and has the Minister of Magic as his backer, it has nothing to do with them, a group of wizards loyal to the Chelsea family.

It can even be said that in this matter, even if the Minister of Magic himself comes, it is not as important as Kevin, the future son-in-law of the Chelsea family.

After all, the Minister of Magic cannot decide the future of this group of people, but the future son-in-law of the Chelsea family can...

This is obviously a doubtful point.

What he saw next made him even more confused.

Because of that arrogant style, Kevin's father came to visit him. After opening the door of a certain guest room, he turned around and left after being stunned for a moment!

This behavior is very abrupt and anticlimactic.

It seemed that he had barged in just to take a look at the room.

But how is this possible?

It would be too baffling for this to happen.

At the same time, the young wizard made another discovery.

The old housekeeper who was accompanying Kevin's father was also stunned after the door to the guest room was opened. Then he hurriedly lowered his head and raised his hand to carefully close the door...

"Everyone has dispersed, what are you doing here?"

The old housekeeper then began to scold the two young wizards who followed him.

"There's nothing to do? School is about to start, why don't you go back and review your homework quickly!"

……what happened?

This situation was not only difficult for an outsider like Pope to understand, but also the steward's grandson Martin.

However, when he ran over and asked his grandfather in a low voice, he received nothing but a glare.
