You call this a black hand?

The lady's surprised words made the old housekeeper feel embarrassed, but outside the gate of the manor was not a good place to talk.

When the group of people arrived at the main building of the manor and sat in the bright hall, the housekeeper told his master exactly what had happened.

Because it involved the assassination of his wife, he spoke in great detail.

Including how slow his grandson behaved in this, he said it without any glorification.

Mrs. Chelsea listened silently, her expression never changing.

It wasn't until the old housekeeper finished explaining the matter that she nodded.

"Your little grandson behaved very normally. After all, he has never been exposed to this kind of conspiracy. You can't blame him for his slow reaction."

"On the contrary, the fact that he can tolerate being humiliated one after another for a whole day without making the slightest act of impulsiveness is enough to show that he has a tough mind and is a talent worth cultivating."

These words did not sound like comfort, and the old housekeeper also knew that the madam would not say anything good at all on issues involving the "direction of development" of her grandson's future.

Since she can say this, it proves that she really thinks so.

However, if the tone is set, then Mellen, who is very astute in this matter, obviously cannot be evaluated based on talent alone.

But the strange thing is that the old housekeeper did not hear the lady mention Mellen, whom she had paid close attention to in the past, and instead asked a seemingly unrelated question.

"Have you heard anything lately about William Pantoria?"

"William Pantoria?"

The housekeeper was startled when he heard this.

This name is very familiar to him.

Not only him, but everyone in the wizarding world who has followed the news in the past two years is unlikely to be unfamiliar with this name.

William Pantoria was born in an ancient pure-blood wizard family, but when he became an adult, he did not follow his family's arrangements and enter the Ministry of Magic to work in politics. Instead, he went to the Shivering Sea, the largest sea in the north, to become a pirate.

While he was accustomed to plundering the ships of the Northern Empire and the Church, he didn't know where he got a cursed ship named Disaster.

Then he conspired with the deep-sea races to break through the Tower of the Abyss, the largest prison in the wizarding world, and released tens of thousands of horrific criminals in the tower.

That happened ten years ago, but up to now, the entire wizarding world is still deeply troubled by this incident.

It can be said that this guy is the most wanted criminal that the wizarding government is currently tracking.

But it is precisely because of these criminal deeds that he is listed as one of the top ten pirates in contemporary times and is in the limelight.

"It is said that William was last seen in the Great Library of Cairhien. He seemed to be consulting information on steam dynamics and enchantment."

The old housekeeper replied in a low voice, "But there are so many rumors in this news that no one can be sure it is true."

"William is very cautious and will always release all kinds of false news to cover up his true whereabouts."

The lady said: "But one thing should be true, that is, he has a daughter who is not very young and is hiding in a certain branch of the mixed-race association."

The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this and was completely unprepared for the news.

"In other words, this matter..."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this little girl is currently in Graham. If the enemy's plan goes well, she will die tragically in the future, and your grandson will be the first suspect."

Mrs. Chelsea said and sneered a few times.

"It's a pity that the man behind the scenes didn't expect that the fools he secretly instigated went too far, so that the flaws were easily discovered."

The old housekeeper actually didn't hear clearly what his master said at this moment.

When he heard that William's daughter was hiding in the mixed-race association, he unconsciously broke into a cold sweat.

I thought it would be a good thing to ask my grandson to do something for the madam this time. As long as he performed well, he would surely win the eye of the madam.

The results so far are quite in line with expectations.

But is this process too thrilling?

He was the most wanted criminal in the wizarding world. If he really wanted his daughter to die, he wouldn't care about the evidence or whether he was innocent. No one involved in this matter would be able to escape being killed...

Of course, Madam is not afraid of a fugitive prisoner, but Madam is a Madam, and his little grandson Martin doesn't have that ability.

It’s impossible for Madam to send people to protect her 24 hours a day. When that time comes...

"Thanks to Mellen, otherwise the consequences of this would have been unpredictable."

The old housekeeper was very happy about this.

The lady glanced at him after hearing this, "Well, guess what, even I can't determine where the girl is hiding, and how can I determine the person behind the scenes?"

"It should be that William's best friend was involved, or at least leaked the secret."

As the housekeeper spoke, his mind suddenly wandered, "Could it be the president of the Mixed-blood Association..."

Since William can send his daughter to the mixed-race association, it proves that he has full trust in this organization, or someone in the organization.

It seems that no one is more qualified for this candidate than the president of the association.

Because the president is known as a good person in the entire wizarding world.

But can such a person really be what he appears to be?

The old housekeeper has always believed that people who are good at managing their reputation must have more complex thoughts than ordinary people...

"If we really have doubts about this, it will be like stepping on a trap set by the enemy."

Mrs. Chelsea shook her head, "Of course, we can't be sure that that person will be fine."

"What do you mean?"

"That Charlie, and any other accomplices who may be around him, are destined to die."

The hoarse voice said softly: "It would be better if their frame-up plan succeeds. If it doesn't, it actually doesn't matter, because it will eventually reveal something to us."

"That's just doing bad things with good intentions. Your so-called help may not necessarily be a good thing for them, and they won't be appreciated."

"Are you saying that Charlie wanted to do this because he was dissatisfied with your kindness to the mixed-race people?"

The housekeeper doesn't have the golden finger like Mellen, who can clearly see the behavioral logic behind the murderer's actions.

Only then did he react after hearing his wife's words.

Then he was filled with astonishment.

"If it weren't for you, how could those mixed-race people have a stable environment and live a normal life?"

"This can also be understood as, I am boiling a group of frogs in a basin of warm water."

Mrs. Chelsea said in a nonchalant manner: "The purpose of maintaining mixed-race groups is to constantly ask them to send some low-level people for us pure-blood drivers to play with. I have heard this statement earlier, and I didn't take it seriously at first, but

Now……"

"You just said that if we are suspicious of this, we have fallen into the enemy's trap..."

"So, the man behind the scenes seems to be weaving a conspiracy, but in fact he is just revealing the truth. But... what is the purpose?"

The last sentence tended to be whispered, and Mrs. Chelsea frowned, obviously unable to understand it.

So what if you can see clearly? So what if you can’t see clearly?

They are just a group of mixed-races. Does anyone think that it would be a huge loss for her to separate from the mixed-races?

Or is it that, whether it is the previous assassination or the current estrangement, the ultimate goal is not actually yourself?

Thinking of the truth believer she met tonight and what he said, Mrs. Chelsea was thoughtful.

Did someone believe the words of those lunatics and prepare to take the opportunity to do something?

but……

How is this possible?

Thinking about this matter in her heart, she ordered: "Let your little grandson withdraw, and by the way, inform the Mixed-blood Association of the relevant clues about this matter and my assassination. Since this matter involves their own problems, let them

They go investigate and resolve it."

The butler whispered yes.

The issuance of this order will inevitably cause the Mixed-blood Association to launch an internal investigation.

That's fine, but this inventory involves the association's current operating philosophy.

If what Madam said is true, then there must be some mixed-race people who are secretly dissatisfied with the current stable environment and development direction.

Thoroughly exposing Charlie's problem will cause a group of mixed-race people to reflect on themselves, but it will also allow another group of people to see that there are people with the same ideas charging forward.

Even though this Charger's character was not very good, it was enough to cause the association to secretly split.

But this has nothing to do with them. The split is actually a good thing for Madam.

At least it would allow her to see clearly who are potential friends who repay kindness with kindness, and who are future enemies who repay kindness with hatred.

"Right."

Just as the housekeeper was thinking about whether to give Meren, who had saved his grandson, a warning to prevent the incident from affecting him, he saw his wife taking out a parchment book from somewhere and placing it on the low table next to her.

"When you go, bring this book to Mellen and let him read it once, as a thank you for saving your little grandson."

"Robin Refaeli's Family's Guide to Adventures?"

The housekeeper was surprised when he saw the title of the book.

This book looks like a storybook, but it is actually a unique secret treasure.

Just because every wizard who reads this book will gain a benefit afterwards.

That is the third hand, which is a great enhancement of the wizard's talent.

The lady obviously considered that Melen might not have very good talents after he awakened, so she wanted to use this book to train him to make up for this flaw.

And handing over this book in the name of thanks is obviously just an excuse.

Because the right to read this book is much more valuable than his grandson's life.

It's even valuable to the point where the housekeeper can't understand it.

This book will have obvious effects even if used by a wizard of Madam's level, but it has a huge limitation.

There can only be three people reading this book at the same time.

If there are more than three people reading it, it will only be harmful.

As far as the housekeeper understands, there is only one last chance to read this book.

It is precisely because of this that Madam's previous attempts to obtain books from the Refaeli family for her daughter were never successful.

Why now, after finally getting the book, the opportunity was given to an outsider?

Although this outsider had accidentally saved the madam and helped them a lot just now, does this not make the madam think that he is more important than the young lady?

Seemingly sensing the housekeeper's confusion, Mrs. Chelsea chuckled and said, "It can be read three times now."

"You mean..."

"You are right, there is no Refaeli family in this world."

This news completely shocked the old housekeeper.

Although the Refaeli family has declined due to being hunted down by a group of lunatics all year round, it still has some background, at least it is much stronger than most small and medium-sized wizard families.

There's no news at all at the moment, but it's gone just as soon as it's gone?

"Did you take action?"

"No, it's Guderian the God-Slayer."

"It's those crazy people again...what are they going to do?"

"Do something unrealistic."

When Mrs. Chelsea said this, she snorted unconsciously.

"Some people believed their crazy words and followed Graham to cause trouble. Maybe they thought I was easier to bully."

The steward looked thoughtful when he saw this.

Madam obviously learned something tonight, but she didn't believe it, so she spoke with disdain now.

However……

If she really didn't believe it at all, would she give a powerful treasure that could only be read three times to Meren for one use?

You know, excluding the madam herself and the young lady, the treasure can only be used once...

Maybe, because of what happened to those crazy people, the mixed-race association may undergo more serious changes than a split in the future?

And Madam hopes that in this change, Mellen can play a role similar to what happened this time?

But...how can she be sure that if something big happens, Meren will be on her side?

Relying on Mellen's admiration for the young lady?

But this is...

The housekeeper glanced at his master hesitantly, wanting to say something, but he was afraid that if he did so he would offend his wife.

After all, that's not something a servant should get involved in.

But then he no longer had such worries, because of what the lady said next.

"The child's love for Alyssa will not lead to any consequences, but he is a rare talent, and I will not alienate him because of this matter."

"So, when you go to deliver the books, take a message for me."

When she said this, Mrs. Chelsea hesitated a little, as if she had never thought of having the time to say this before.

But then, she still said the rest of her words.

"If he agrees, he can choose to be my apprentice."
