You call this a black hand?

Mellen felt that things seemed to be getting a little strange.

He had just dealt with an enemy that had appeared inexplicably in that spiritual world, but in the blink of an eye, he found that he had not returned to the trial, but instead appeared in a secret room.

The secret room was dimly lit and the space was very narrow, only ten square meters at most.

It was surrounded by dark rock walls, and there was no exit. I stepped to the edge of the wall and raised my hand to knock on it, and I could feel the extremely strong hardness above.

Mellen then looked at the only furnishings here.

It was a simple and even simple black partition table, placed in the center of the secret room, with a large number of manuscript papers and books piled on it.

A white candle is burning quietly on the corner of the table at this moment, which is the only source of light here.

After walking over, Mellen picked up a piece of manuscript paper on the table and looked at it. He was surprised to find that the papers recorded on these papers were all related to magic knowledge.

In other words, these are "papers".

"What do you mean? You can't leave here until you finish answering the paper?"

What was recorded above was not a difficult question, but after carefully observing it, Mellen frowned unconsciously.

[Please describe in detail the origin and survival needs of the griffin, and give examples of spell combinations that can artificially create the corresponding conditions required for this magical animal from breeding to hatching eggs]

…

[The Bone Shrinking Spell can be used to fine-tune the appearance and image of a wizard, but there are many side effects of using it. Is there any way to avoid those side effects? 】

…

[Energy stability is a commonly used rune sequence in enchantment. If the frost core in this sequence is transformed into a mire, what impact will it have on the entire rune sequence? 】

…

[What does Habakak mean in Duni language?]

…

As a potion professor, these questions are easy for Mellen to answer, but if a normal wizard apprentice stood here, he would just feel blinded.

Because many of the knowledge points involved above can only be accessed by high-level wizards.

In other words, this is not a trial venue that wizard apprentices can enter at all.

Mellen is certain of this.

But if it's not a training ground for wizard apprentices, what is this place?

"Did I trigger some hidden mechanism?"

He naturally suspected this.

…

Mellen here is deeply confused by the inexplicable encounter.

Over there, the three vice-deans who noticed something was wrong have already reported the news to the school's senior officials.

So some people who were busy with various things had to put down their current work and gathered in a conference room.

Xiaoshuting app

Each expression was either puzzled or serious.

"What's the meaning?"

“The freshman test has become a master-seeking test?”

In the bright conference room, there were a total of twelve figures in different clothes surrounding the long table.

One of the middle-aged men wearing pince-nez looked at the copied student files and asked with a surprised expression: "The heir to Fort St. Grant? He became the heir. What are we? Household servants?"

"Can anyone tell me when Fort St. Grant became someone's private property?"

"During the Duni Dynasty, this school did have an heir and an owner."

Someone answered his question, "In that era, the demonic tide had not yet faded, and individual strength was far stronger than collective strength."

"So this is going back in time? We're back to a time when wizards were still oppressed?"

"There must be an error."

After carefully looking at the file at hand, another person said in a deep voice: "Ig Wilson is a very special student. I think everyone has paid attention to it. He is indeed excellent in some aspects, but it is impossible to defeat a person with the qualifications to do so."

6 wizard abilities.”

"So I think this may be the danger response mechanism of the trial land, and the rules counterattack the attackers on their own. But in the end, for some unknown reason, the abandoned heir trial was triggered..."

"That's such a coincidence. Instead, I think that Egg Wilson may know some secrets that others don't know, so this rule was triggered by him."

Someone put forward another point of view.

"Instead of believing in chance, I prefer to believe in this inevitable situation."

"What secrets could there be that we don't know, but a half-blood knows?"

"It's hard to say, but there are many special things inside the school, and everyone knows this, so who can be sure that we fully understand everything?"

"Couldn't it be that he really killed the enemy and that's why it was triggered?"

"Are you kidding me?"

…

A special situation has occurred in the trial place. Although it is surprising, if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing surprising.

After all, the rule of trial has been out of use for a hundred years. Now that it is restarted, it can be called abnormal if it can "run" normally.

After all, that is not the real rule of the world, but an "illusion" artificially created using a large number of magical machines and instruments.

However, although it is understandable, the matters now before the senior leaders of these schools need to be dealt with urgently.

"You don't have to think too much about the heir."

Sitting next to the main seat was an old man with gray hair. After he spoke, the noisy discussions in the conference room stopped.

"During the Duni Dynasty, every heir to St. Grant's Castle needed to be trained from an early age, which involved many qualities that normal wizards would find difficult to possess. Therefore, even if someone enters the trial, they will not succeed in winning the heir.

identity."

"As for how the heir rule is triggered, we can wait until Iger Wilson comes out of the trial to inquire more carefully."

"I think the first thing to consider now is the traitor who sneaked into the school."

As he said this, his tone became serious.

"We have now been able to confirm that the identity of the traitor is Professor Robertson's assistant Quintina Bunian. She is dead, but how she was hired and the relevant personnel involved in this hiring must be urgently investigated.

investigation."

"This doesn't seem to reveal anything."

The person who spoke first pushed up the glasses on his face and said: "As far as I know, Quintina was a professor's assistant who applied directly as a student five years ago. There is no problem with the process."

"If there is no problem, check it out."

The old man said: "Including the family behind her and her close friends, we need to inquire carefully. Since our school has agreed to accept those mixed-races, we must not let some people conspire to ruin the reputation."

"This kind of thing must never happen again."

"I think it's difficult."

The person sitting opposite the old man smiled noncommittally when he heard the words, "He hasn't even officially entered the school yet, and this kind of trouble happened. When he actually arrives at the school, who can guarantee that he will not encounter other accidents?"

"When someone chokes on food and dies, do we need to take responsibility?"

This was said very impolitely, but it caused many people in the conference room to nod.

For a top school like Fort St. Grant to accept mixed-race students, this has never happened in the wizarding world before, and such behavior will inevitably attract attention from all parties.

This brings a lot of pressure.

For example, in the eyes of many pure-blood parents, mixed-race people are basically a low-level group formed by illegitimate children.

In terms of blood, they would think that since their parents can give birth to illegitimate children, their character cannot be very good.

If the character of the parents is not good enough and is passed on to their children, it will certainly not be much better.

But now, their children need to go to school with some mixed-race people with bad character, which will of course lead to protests.

For another example, the talents of most mixed-race wizards are actually not very good. How to educate them so that the outside world feels that the school does not hide their secrets and treats them differently?

Normal education as usual?

With the weak talents of mixed-bloods, they are definitely not as good as pure-blood students.

Are resources tilted towards mixed-race people?

This will cause dissatisfaction among the purebloods.

The opening of the Trial Ground is actually to deal with this situation.

However, some things can be dealt with, while others cannot be avoided.

Who can guarantee that this kind of stabbing phenomenon will not continue to happen in schools?

After all, this is actually an influence of the entire wizarding world and is not under the control of one of their schools.

And when the assassination happens again, or even succeeds, will the outside world think that the school deliberately allowed the murderer to commit the crime?

Or does the school fail to act?

All in all, the practice of absorbing a group of mixed-race people this time is actually very sensitive, and many people in the school are very dissatisfied with it.

No one can deny that this pioneering move will bring a certain reputation to the school, but compared with the disadvantages, this advantage is simply too insignificant.

"If the proposal has been passed, there is no need to waste time worrying about the consequences."

Faced with the dissatisfaction of these people, the gray-haired old man said with a serious expression: "What we need to do is to deal with it, instead of thinking that these mixed-race students are a burden and unwilling to think of solutions."

"But before that, shouldn't we discuss it first,"

Sitting among these people, Juliana, who had been communicating with people using the Book of Secret Words, suddenly said: "If Egg Wilson really becomes the heir to Fort St. Grant, what should we do?"
