You call this a black hand?

A violent explosion suddenly came from outside the suburbs, attracting the attention of many wizards who were already paying attention to that direction because of the previous ceremony.

Not long after, the news spread quickly that thousands of truth believers surrounded some "innocent" people.

It is said that this was just because of some trivial quarrels, that group of lunatics angrily beat up many people, and then walked away without any debt of gratitude.

"But only a fool would believe that because of some altercation."

A young wizard sneered: "A single madman is enough to cause a headache, but someone actually wants to provoke a group of people? I really don't know how to write the word death."

"So, is it because of the secret?"

Someone asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, everyone now believes that the truth believers have learned an important secret."

The young wizard replied, "Everyone wants to know what this secret is. After all, there was too much noise before."

"The mystery of the destruction of Saint-Malo? Or some clue related to the previous era?"

Some people speculated, "Or is it about the future of the world?"

"Perhaps only those crazy people know the specific situation, but just wait and see, tomorrow's major newspapers will definitely be full of speculations and reports in this regard."

Saying this, the young wizard looked at the black-haired boy sitting beside him.

"What do you think, Egg?"

"I prefer things about the future."

Mellen replied in agreement.

So the group of young wizards sitting in the hall nodded their heads in agreement.

There are about a dozen people in this group, all young wizards loyal to the Chelsea family, similar to Martin with a round face.

Melen didn't know them at first, but he was seen by this group of peers and enthusiastically invited them to discuss issues together when he just walked out of the door.

Because they were discussing the group of truth believers, Mellen didn't think it was a waste of time, so he stopped here and listened.

Then he discovered that this group of people were very catering to him for some reason.

Especially the leader, the brown-haired wizard named Pope, would always ask Mellen's opinion no matter what he said, as if he was afraid of neglecting him.

I don't know what he knew that made him so enthusiastic all of a sudden.

Of course, Melen had no curiosity about this. After listening politely for a while, he felt that it was not interesting and said goodbye to them.

Then, he continued to look for the little round-faced Martin.

Melen was previously paying attention to his mysterious knight's vest, which has already evolved.

But the mysterious call from the other side was silent.

But considering the weather at the moment, this is not a surprise——

As the strange phenomenon faded away, it now looked like a sunny afternoon.

Correspondingly, the location of the mysterious call should still be in the middle of the night.

Who would make disgusting "nuisance calls" in the middle of the night?

However, there is no way to verify what the mysterious knight's vest looks like now, because he is in Chelsea Manor and Meren dare not transform at will, lest he cause any special disturbance.

So he had nothing to do, so he prepared to buy a book of secret words with many pages.

The Book of Secrets he is using now is still a ten-page version. He doesn’t think it’s that bad at the moment, but it will definitely not be enough in the future.

Although he possesses the Book of Deception, the book's appearance is too conspicuous, and he can only open it when he transforms into Antony, so it is not suitable for daily use.

So Mellen thought of a familiar round-faced person, and after some contact, the person claimed to take him to buy it.

As a result, when I went out, I was delayed because I heard some interesting news.

…

But when Mellen found the other party, he found that the other party was not waiting.

He was also discussing things related to the group of truth believers and the so-called secrets.

And this person is Mellen’s old acquaintance—Kevin.

"There are not many shops in Graham City's Wizarding Commercial Street, and the products inside are basically very old."

Martin's residence in the manor is a "magic cabin" in a light blue style.

Sitting at a table covered with distilled glassware, a bandaged Kevin told Mellen:

"If you're not in a hurry, you'd better wait until you get to Fort St. Grant before buying some necessities."

When he said this, he looked at Mellen's expression as if he was a little suspicious, and he was hesitant to speak.

This makes Mellen very strange.

Could it be that something else happened without his knowledge?

"Mr. Gray visited you this morning, Egg."

The little round face on the side said a certain topic for Kevin, "But he doesn't seem to have said anything to you?"

Gray?

The name was a bit unfamiliar, but after thinking about it for a moment, Mellen understood who it was.

So the middle-aged man who walked into the wrong door turned out to be Kevin's father?

This made him understand, and he immediately understood why the little yellow-haired man in front of him hesitated to speak.

The teacher was not very honest at that time. Although he had the body of a snake, it was more misleading.

His father saw that scene and couldn't help but think too much...

"Maybe he thinks I might be his son's future father-in-law?"

It's very strange to think about becoming the father-in-law of a classmate.

But then Meren thought again that he and Juliana were also entangled in this matter.

So when he looked at Kevin again, his eyes became quite complicated.

"Did you really talk about something?"

Kevin was a little embarrassed when he saw it.

"That's not true."

Mellen shook his head and said: "I was so lost in the lake at that time that I didn't even notice anyone passing by."

This obviously doesn't explain anything.

But Kevin thought about it and didn't pursue the question further. Instead, he changed the subject.

"My father is visiting Mrs. Chelsea right now because of what happened to those truth believers."

When speaking, his attitude was a little more cautious than before, but there was no fundamental difference.

After all, there are some things that just don't do what the elders say.

His father told him to treat Meren as his "father", which seemed to him simply incomprehensible.

Moreover, Mellen hasn't given a reasonable explanation at the moment, so he doesn't know anything and treats others as his elders, right?

"There are some things you'd better not let him know. We can hide them as long as we can."

"It won't be a big deal if we tell him about it after we get to Fort St. Grant."

Kevin's words meant something.

"I understand."

Mellen nodded in agreement.

Therefore, Kevin, who was quite assured of his talent, no longer worried about whether he would be harmed by Chi Yu.

"I heard that you had breakfast with your wife before?"

He turned to another matter, "Madam, are you ready to let you go?"

"Not sure yet."

"I'm waiting for a reply," Mellen said.

This is the truth.

He had already told the teacher in the book of secret words that he was considering returning to the Half-Blood Association.

As a result, Mrs. Chelsea, who usually responded quickly, did not reply for a long time this time.

Considering so much happened today, she must be very busy.

So Mellen didn't think much about it.

"What exactly did you go through after you were kidnapped?"

Kevin was obviously very curious about this matter, "You actually need to be kept here specifically to investigate?"

"It's nothing."

Mellen replied without changing his expression: "The main thing is to ask about the murderer's words and deeds and some details. This will be very useful for Madam to pursue the murderer."

"The murderer is a woman?"

"Yes."

Kevin nodded and asked no more questions.

Being kidnapped, the murderer is still a woman, so even if the "brother-in-law" in front of him stays with his fiancée for a long time, it is impossible for anything to happen.

He had actually asked his mother, who had been to the scene before, and she told him to relax.

So asking Mellen now is just a casual question.

"When I go back, I'll get more involved with that person."

"Anyway, since you have already made an engagement, even if there are some surprises in this matter, it is unlikely that there will be any major changes.

Kevin turned to the airs of "big uncle".

As soon as he finished speaking, a surprised voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Engagement?"

"Engagement to whom?"

During the questioning, Gray, who had gray hair on his temples, had already pushed open the door and walked in. His eyes were full of doubts when he looked at his son and Mellen.

Kevin was startled by this.
