You call this a black hand?

Mellen considers himself lucky.

After observing the huge map for a while, which seemed to correspond to various areas of Fort St. Grant School, he found another letter in the study.

Then he understood the reason for his current experience.

This is why he considers himself lucky.

Because it is recorded in this letter that the so-called heir status requires competition.

The competition of comprehensive quality, as well as the competition of past "credit".

There is no need to mention the former, but the latter made Melen suddenly understand what happened to those doors marked with a large number of numbers before——

The time he transformed into a mysterious knight and came to the battlefield, he indeed changed the fate of a large group of people, but he didn't expect it to have an effect here.

It just saves more people, but it's actually of no use.

Because the outcome of the competition depends entirely on what the "owner" of Fort St. Grant thinks.

The master will decide who is the winner based on the competitor's performance in the trial, rather than based on the competitor's quality in all aspects.

But during the trial, Meren didn't meet any "master", but there was a dead skeleton that could no longer die.

So it can be said that as long as he meets the minimum standards, he will not be able to escape his status as heir.

Because no one competes with him, and no one is the referee.

At the same time, the letter also mentioned that the suitcase and the map on the desk were actually in the hands of the owner.

The heir usually has the right to use it, but he needs to obtain the owner's consent...

Overall, Mellen felt that if the skeleton was still alive, he would definitely not choose him.

Putting aside the specific performance in the trial, who would casually choose a stranger as his successor?

And entrusted him with such a huge inheritance?

However, I don’t know exactly what happened. From the content of the letter, it seems that the last owner of Fort St. Grant must have known that he was about to die, so he left some explanations.

But he did not think that after his death, the school at Fort St. Grant would never have a new owner.

The current restart of this rule may have a lot to do with the fact that people in the current school do not understand certain situations in the Trial Land. In other words, when they restarted the Trial Land, they inadvertently included the rules related to heirs.

It's turned on.

"But that doesn't mean they don't know anything."

When he put away the letter, a thought flashed in Mellen's mind, "If they find out that I have become the heir, it may not be a good thing."

After all, who would be willing to suddenly be labeled a "servant" on their forehead?

This is obvious.

However, what the outcome of this kind of thing will be depends on what to do next.

After thinking about it for a while, Mellen had an idea in his mind, so he began to look at the study room where the map was located.

"The Phonetic Table of the Original Language", "The Birth of the Genie in the Bottle", "The Source of the Power of the Gods", "The Wizard's Tower: Is it a Confinement or a Staircase?"...

The books in the bookcase don't look simple, but they are actually what Mellen, the heir, needs to read next.

Because according to the explanation in that letter, the heir's path as a wizard is different from that of ordinary wizards.

In other words, there is something special about it.

The specific special features were not mentioned in the letter, but Mellen seriously doubted whether something like this from hundreds of years ago could be applied today.

After all, if nothing else, there is no demonic tide in the current era, and the world has already changed.

However, after looking through the books here, he didn't find anything in the path of succession that modern times couldn't do.

At least apprentice-level practice is just one more step than that of a normal wizard.

Mellen did not continue reading. After getting a preliminary understanding, he left the study, then walked back to the fork in the road and came to the second door.

"Shura Martial God"

I raised my hand and pushed it, but didn't push it away.

"Time does have an impact."

He thought with some regret.

The letter mentioned that behind this second door is a large space teleportation anchor point. Using it, you can reach many secret and non-secret places instantly.

With the owner's consent, the heir has the right to use this "teleportation room".

But now that the door can't be pushed open, it proves that this transfer room is no longer usable.

This may be because there is no magic tide, or it may be other reasons.

Mellen didn't know much about it and wasn't sure whether it was dormant or completely broken.

But since he couldn't enter the second door, he had no intention of staying here for the time being.

Turning back to the exit, after climbing up, Meren reappeared in the dark secret room where the skeleton was.

First, he put away the two seemingly useless scepters and necklaces that were actually very useful. Then he tried to put the suitcase into the magic pocket, but it turned out that he couldn't do it at all.

So Mellen had no choice but to carry this thing and follow the instructions in the letter to a lampstand in the corner of the secret room.

He raised his hand and turned, and a line-like door quietly appeared on the wall in front of him. With a slight push, Meren found that he had arrived in a seemingly ordinary bedroom.

There are no windows in the bedroom, but there is a light source that comes from nowhere, making everything here extremely clear.

Looking around, there are floor fireplaces and oil paintings, which are no different from ordinary people's bedrooms.

The most eye-catching thing is a picture placed on the bedside table.

In the photo, a middle-aged gentleman with a calm face and profound features is hugging a bald little girl dressed like a princess. At first glance, the two look like a father and daughter.

However, upon closer inspection, Mellen was surprised to find that the girl in the photo was wearing something very much like a wedding dress.

The posture of the two of them is like a married couple...

"She is only ten years old at most, right?"

There are indeed many child marriages in this era. Mellen was surprised by this, but he didn't find it too surprising.

What he couldn't understand was why he appeared here after leaving that secret room?

Could it be that this was once the skeleton's bedroom and is now occupied by someone else?

That means that the place where you are currently should be St. Grant's Fort?

There are no windows around, so you can't see the outside environment.

In order to confirm this, Mellen opened the bedroom door and came to a living room.

There were still no windows in the living room, so he continued walking.

He thought that the outside would be a normal corridor or lawn garden, but unexpectedly, when he came out, what he saw was a very bright office with various noises.

On the desk in the office, there is an identity tag with a name imprinted on it.

Mellen was stunned.

Because the name he saw was Priestley Browning again.

The contemporary headmaster of Fort St. Grant!
