You call this a black hand?

Whether Mellen runs away depends on the mixed-race association's attitude on this matter.

If they really wanted to force him to attend that banquet, then of course he couldn't stay and suffer this injustice.

Anyway, the life-saving spell has basically been obtained. Next, we just need to collect some information and we can officially start to implement the plan.

It actually doesn’t matter if the plan fails, because when Mellen proposed this plan, he had already considered whether it would fail——

Having a common "secret" that is not known to a third party is a way to quickly draw a relationship between two strangers.

At the same time, this matter also involves the principle behind the phrase "we went to the same window together...".

Therefore, it seemed that he had been helping Arthur with plans for nearly a whole day today, but his real purpose was to use this matter to quickly get closer to him.

But now, he can confidently say that even if his stepfather's plan fails, or the plan takes longer than the time limit for death, he will temporarily borrow a water-storing bead from Arthur, and even give him the family heirloom necklace.

Borrowing it is not a difficult thing.

After all, he doesn't need to use that kind of thing all the time. It's just a temporary loan and it doesn't mean he won't return it.

As long as there is a certain level of friendship and trust, there should be no problem.

Because of this, Mellen can now say that he has nothing to worry about.

In this state, there was nothing in the Mixed-blood Association to check and balance him, so why should he have wronged himself for this association?

If he leaves the association, apart from not being able to continue receiving wizard education here, what impact will it have?

The worst case scenario is to find another wizard organization to join.

With this idea in mind, Meren did not go to the suburbs to watch the excitement as he and the little girl claimed, but randomly found a hotel in the dock area and stayed there.

There are a lot of things to be busy with next.

First of all, he hadn't had time to look at the black box that Butler Fox had given him in the morning. He needed to see what was inside.

Secondly, he has learned from Arthur that the most important thing about water storage magic is actually the water storage medium, which is water storage beads or necklaces.

The accompanying magic itself is not the point.

So Melen doesn't have to save lives to add points to it.

In other words, you only need to leave a little destiny to quickly learn that magic, and the rest can be used at will.

Once again, the execution of his stepfather's plan requires him to channel.

After all, now they know basically nothing except that there is such a "divorced rich woman".

How to approach her and how to quickly build a relationship after approaching her requires a lot of intelligence support to tailor specific ideas.

Otherwise it's just empty talk.

This matter is actually the most troublesome, because Melen cannot channel the "rich woman" herself. He is not of a sufficient level, so he can only "play around with the possible servants" around the rich woman.

So Mellen was prepared to put this matter to the end.

…

In the single room of the hotel, which was not exquisite but still neat, Mellen sat on a feather bed in the room and first opened the black wooden box delivered by Butler Fox in the morning.

Then, he saw a yellowed parchment book and a letter covered in the book.

Opening the letter and reading it, Mellen found that the letter was written by the old butler Fox, and he was startled by the content.

"My lady wants to accept me as an apprentice because she foresees that major changes may occur in the mixed-race association in the future... To put it nicely, isn't this training spies?"

Mellen didn't know that he was actually the first and most likely the only apprentice Mrs. Chelsea decided to take on.

He also didn't understand at all that the relationship between apprentice and teacher in the wizarding world meant a very serious inheritance relationship - if you recognized someone as your apprentice, you would have to take care of him for a lifetime.

So when I saw this letter now, Mellen didn't think it was a big deal.

At most, it's similar to the relationship between a graduate student and his supervisor in his previous life. What else could it be?

But even though he didn't feel anything special, Mellen still thought about it carefully.

His current thoughts have actually changed somewhat compared to his initial thoughts.

At least, because he "understood" more about destiny, he was no longer afraid of having in-depth contact with the lady.

Especially this so-called apprenticeship relationship.

In Mellen's view, this apprentice sounds nice, but in fact he is just a spy, and spies naturally cannot disclose their relationship with their "employer".

Therefore, if the employer itself has any trouble, it will generally not affect the spies.

But on the contrary, when encountering problems, spies can turn to their employers...

In a world with strict hierarchies, what method can be used to quickly transcend classes?

There is no doubt that if you hug the rich woman’s thigh, please take her away!

"It's just that if I really want to agree to it, I have to go back to the Mixed-blood Association, um..."

Thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, Mellen did not look at the parchment in the black box that needed to be read once before it would take effect.

Instead, he took out a booklet he carried with him and used it to check his property panel.

At this point, the information in the properties panel is no different than before.

The corresponding fate numbers are 6 and 8.

The former is gray and the latter is green, which belongs to Mellen's current main savings.

"It's not safe to keep one, so let's keep three..."

Thinking like this, Mellen touched the green destiny on the page with his finger.

As soon as his mind moved, a touch of green smoke appeared at his fingertips, and then quickly wrapped around his fingers and blended into it.

A large number of strange memories emerged in Mellen's mind.

[You have obtained Herbalism (Introduction)]

…

Entry level herbalism?

Mellen looked startled.

Although this introductory herbal medicine requires a lot of memory and contains a lot of knowledge, it must be very troublesome to learn.

But he never thought about what kind of work he would do in the future, collecting or brewing herbs.

However, it doesn’t matter, knowing more about herbal medicine is never a disadvantage.

So with a thought, Mellen chose to draw again.

[You have obtained basic wand making (proficiency)]

…

"Why is it an auxiliary ability again?"

Mellen couldn't help but frown as he adjusted to the new influx of knowledge in his mind.

"There are huge variables in doing this..."

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

However, this idea seems a bit risky...

He hesitated, but think about it, if he continues to have this kind of rubbish ability, wouldn't his life be wasted?

And giving it a try can be regarded as an exploration of the golden finger. If it can work...

Thinking like this, Mellen had already made up his mind, so he picked up a pen and wrote a sentence on the page——

"My luck will increase greatly in the next minute!"

No special phenomenon was found, but one of the gray numbers on the panel instantly disappeared.

Mellen was overjoyed to see this.

He thought that changing his luck would cost a lot of money, but to his surprise, it only cost the lowest level of destiny!

If he had known earlier, why would he hesitate?

After taking a deep breath, Mellen clicked his finger on the green destiny three times in succession!

[You have obtained the basic wizard dueling method (mastery)]

…

[You have obtained the Lightning Technique (Mastery)]

…

[You have obtained Flashpoint Swordsmanship (Mastery)]

…

This time it wasn't just the memories that came flooding in, Mellen felt some changes in his third hand.

At the same time, some strange changes seemed to have occurred inside his body, the reason for which was unclear.

When he came back from his trance, he didn't understand what this change was about.

"Where is the promised wizard? Why is there a sword skill?"

Mellen was puzzled by this.

The memory related to swordsmanship has been burned into my mind, but after careful consideration, it doesn't seem to be an extraordinary skill.

But just now, this skill caused some inexplicable reactions in my body. This...

I thought deeply about this, but unfortunately Melen didn't have a sword or other melee weapon in his hand, so he couldn't experiment at all.

So he had no choice but to experiment with something else.

He took out his wand from his magic pocket and listened for a long time. Then Mellen suddenly pointed the tip of the wand at a beam in the hotel room.

There was a crisp sound, a weak electric current flashed in the air, and then a small thing smoked and fell to the wooden floor.

If you look carefully, you can see that it is actually a mosquito, which has been burned into a small ball by the current.

"Instant magic is really convenient."

Mellen sighed.

Electricity is the magic he learned before, and it is also the only normal magic he knows now.

However, the electro-optical technique at the proficient level is completely different from that at the entry level.

Not only can he now control the strength of his magic release, but he can also hit wherever he wants with his mind turning...

The standard mosquito killer!

But other than that, there's nothing much to experiment with.

The so-called basic dueling method is used to compete with other wizards, and Meren cannot use it alone to achieve the effect.

And that swordsmanship is even more impossible to practice, because it requires the weapon to be held in metal, not just a wooden stick.

So Mellen began to think about whether he should read the book sent by his wife or go to the psychic to obtain information.

But, since you can fish, who would want to work first?

Without much hesitation, Mellen picked up the book called "Robin Refaeli's Family's Guide to Adventures."

The letter said that the book had a limit on the number of times it could be viewed, and it seemed very precious. The housekeeper told him not to let others read it, and to remember to return it to his wife after reading it.

However, Mellen opened it and saw nothing special.

As if this is an ordinary biography, the stories inside are cliche and boring.

But I don’t know what happened, but as I watched, Meren fainted inexplicably.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that he had appeared in a brightly lit wooden house, and had transformed into a thin, middle-aged man with a beard!

"this……"

After looking around, Mellen was shocked to find that he seemed to have entered the home described in the book!

Not only has his body turned into the man of the house, but when he looks sideways, he can still see an oil painting of a family of three hanging on the wall of the wooden house——

A red-haired young woman is holding a little girl with a gentle and elegant expression, while "he" is standing beside the young woman with a smile on his face.

"What's happening here?"

Mellen was stunned.

Then the letter didn't mention that such a thing would happen?

…

Just when Mellen "encountered great changes" and was at a loss.

Located in the Mixed Breed Association in the southeast corner of Graham City.

Kevin, the blond boy, could no longer maintain the polite and polite smile on his face.

"President Victor, please be sure to send someone to look for our dear Mr. Egg Wilson."

Kevin, who had been waiting here for most of the afternoon, looked very stiff at the moment. Although he was still smiling when he spoke, it was more like gritting his teeth than smiling.

"Or at least we should find out where our good gentleman is currently?"

"Okay, I'm going to hurry up the people below."

The bald middle-aged vice president sitting opposite him nodded quickly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly walked out of the reception room.
