You call this a black hand?

The glass window of the hotel's single room was dirty, covered with dust and some traces of fingerprints.

But the silver moon, which rose quietly in place of the setting sun, could still shine its light through the glass window onto Mellen's right cheek without any hindrance.

The young man with thick black hair was sleeping on the feather bed in the room with a peaceful expression, holding a parchment book in his hand, breathing evenly, as if he was in a deep sleep.

However, in fact, he was in his "dream", looking around curiously.

He became the protagonist of the storybook, and the environment he was in was the other person's home.

This home is not big, just a hunter's cabin standing deep in the jungle.

In addition to the oil paintings of a family of three hanging on the walls of the cabin, there is also a stuffed deer head with a pair of majestic antlers.

On the side of the specimen, there is a half-open window.

The forest outside the window is dense, and the sunlight penetrates from the canopy of the trees, making it appear speckled on the vegetable patch in front of the window.

The weather here was completely different from the sky outside. Mellen lay in front of the window and took a few glances, and found that there were actually a few rabbits grazing deep in the forest.

"Is it so real?"

Although he was secretly amazed, he did not go out to wonder whether those animals were real. Instead, he focused on the oil painting again.

In other words, the bottom of the oil painting.

Below the oil painting is the fireplace, and on the table at the top of the fireplace, apart from a mostly melted white candle, there is also a book quietly placed.

He walked over and picked up the booklet and looked at it. The explanations line by line came into Meren's eyes——

"Hello, descendant of the Refaeli family, I am Anthony Refaeli. I think you must have heard about me from your father or ancestors."

"But that's not the point. What we need to emphasize now is this book."

"What you are watching now is a magical storybook, crafted by the world's greatest wizard, Robin Refaeli."

"Its existence will make our Refaeli family prosper forever."

"The premise is that you, and the next tribesmen who read this book, can make good use of it."

…

The synopsis is very concise, but in conjunction with yesterday's massacre, these words seem a bit absurd.

While secretly cursing, Mellen continued to look down and saw the key point.

"The tribesmen who enter the storybook will condense into three different images based on their temperament and body."

"Those with a strong heart, regardless of gender, appear as male protagonists."

"A person whose mind is occupied by love and desire will appear like a mistress."

"The purest one will be the daughter..."

…

There are a lot of bells and whistles, but the core use is actually to strengthen the wizard's third hand.

After reading the booklet in general, Mellen came to a conclusion.

It's just that this kind of reinforcement is completely different from what he knew before, or what the old butler wrote in his letter.

To put it simply, the strengthening effect of this book is continuous and cannot be obtained by reading it once.

But this kind of continuous strengthening has great limitations.

First of all, as the protagonist of the storybook, Mellen needs to "adventure" along the storyline.

However, it is not enough for him to go alone. He must be accompanied by his daughter or wife. After passing the "first level", a strengthening will come and then the second level will be opened.

And if all three quotas for this book are used, then there will be another level of restriction - three people are required to work together.

This is a very strange setting.

According to the author of this booklet, the reason for this may be that the great Robin Refaeli chose to abandon his wife and daughter in order to pursue the ultimate wizard path, and became an emotionless "level up"

machine".

But he regretted this decision very much when he was surrounded by loneliness in his later years.

So I created this book, hoping to continue the family forever and warn future generations about what is most important.

It sounded pretty good, but it stumped Mellen.

Because this book was sent by Mrs. Chelsea, he still needs to send it back after "reading it", but he is not qualified to decide who will read the book next.

In other words, if he wants to use this book to strengthen himself, he needs to go on an adventure with two strangers.

However, if it were a normal adventure plot, it would be nothing.

But judging from the scenes he saw before falling asleep, this plot was actually not that normal.

In other words, not so serious...

"The lady obviously doesn't know the specific usage of this book."

The thought flashed through Mellen's mind, "Otherwise, you would be seducing me, but how is that possible?"

This can also prove that the wife sent the book to him as soon as she obtained it.

How to get it?

Coupled with the massacre incident that I heard about during the day, the answer seems to be self-evident.

"Ferocious, domineering, powerful, and full of confidence..."

Mellen blinked his eyes, his heart ready to move with admiration.

"such a pity……"

Sighing, he put the "manual" in his hand back to its original place.

Mellen had given up hope of benefiting from the book.

Because he didn't think there would be any strangers who could go on an "adventure" with him.

Moreover, who can be sure whether the next person to use the remaining two quotas is a boy or a girl?

Mellen couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scenario of two or three grown men teaming up for an "adventure".

As a result, he didn't bother to observe any hidden details in this place. Following the instructions, he raised his hand and pinched his thigh hard.

So he suddenly woke up from the "dream" in pain.

After rubbing the area that still seemed to be in phantom pain, Mellen stood up and put the book back into the black wooden box.

Then he saw that the sapphire on the surface of his Book of Secret Words was constantly shining with light.

That is the prompt that will appear when there is a "new message".

When he opened it and looked at it, Mellen couldn't help but be startled.

"It's strange that the old examiner actually defends me?"

Mellen, who had no idea about his wizarding talent, felt this was a bit strange.

He even doubted whether what he did last night had been exposed.

But he's not very worried about this, so what if he's exposed?

He didn't do anything bad.

Mellen is thinking about one thing now, and that is whether to go back.

If you want to be with a rich woman, or if you want to be Mrs. Chelsea's apprentice, you must go back to the Mixed-blood Association.

But when I return to the association, I have to face a little yellow guy with an unknown purpose...

Thinking of this, Mellen didn't hesitate much, took out a quill and a piece of letter paper from his magic pocket, and started writing on it——

"Kevin Felix is ​​human."

"I'm human too."

"So I know about Kevin Felix's latest plot."

After finishing writing, Mellen lowered his eyes.

Picture after picture emerged from my mind.

Kevin pacing back and forth in the room with a sad face, Kevin gnashing his teeth and cursing, Kevin arriving at the gate of a manor, Kevin riding on horseback thoughtfully...

The successive pictures are obviously incomplete, and it is obvious that most of the people involved in this matter are higher than Mellen.

But the core of Kevin is always clear.

This is actually because he, who seems to come from a big family, is on the same level as Melen.

Before actually entering the wizard school, all wizards are at the same level. Mellen has known this for a long time.

It is said that rashly raising the level before enrolling will be detrimental to future development.

So it was very easy for Meren to know that the other party really wanted to do something at the banquet.

But there are no clues about the specific means because of the involvement of higher-level wizards...

"What a coincidence."

Mellen thought thoughtfully.

A trap banquet is about to be held at Ernest Manor.

However, if I remember correctly, Jim’s last name was Ernest...

He was still thinking about how to let Arthur get close to his mother, and now an opportunity appeared.

In this case, wouldn't it be just right?

But, why does that guy Kevin target him?

Mellen was puzzled by this.

His channeling points to the "world", and he can see some scenes that have already happened in the world.

This is amazing, but it's a pity that you can only see what has happened, and you can't know what is going on in other people's minds.

So Mellen felt that there seemed to be no reason for the other party to target him.

Could it be because of that magic trick?

But if this is really the case, wouldn’t this person’s character be too narrow-minded?

But...it doesn't matter.

After pondering for a while, Mellen picked up the book of secret words and sent a passage to Inspector Feng.

Then he left the hotel in a hurry.

Mellen is going back to the Mixed Race Association.

But before going back, he had to do one more thing.

…

"Please tell Kevin to wait a little longer, I'll go back right now!"

A sentence from the Book of Secret Words made Von Der Leyen's expression startle unconsciously, and then he couldn't help but become anxious.

But no matter what he sent next, he didn't see any reply from the other party. It was obvious that he had already left to go back.

"What on earth is this kid thinking?"

"It's obviously a trap, why do you want to jump in?"

He was a little anxious about this, but on the surface, he couldn't say anything.

Because Kevin is sitting across the long table.

They were dining in a gorgeously decorated restaurant. In addition to Inspector Feng, there was also the balding middle-aged Victor who claimed not to care about this mess.

Right now, the vice president is telling a not very funny joke at the dinner table.

The blond boy Kevin, on the other hand, drank the cream of snail soup from a small bowl with a silver spoon and nodded cooperatively, looking like he was no longer as irritable as before.

But in fact, it was because he was too hungry and needed to fill his stomach, so he had no time to think about anything else.

This is normal. After all, no one can stay full after waiting here for most of the afternoon.

So when the old man suddenly appeared and started to prepare dinner and invited him to dine, Kevin agreed after a little hesitation.

On the one hand, he was too hungry. On the other hand, he felt that if he went back in such a dejected state, wouldn't the long wait have been in vain?

Besides, if he really went back without getting anything done, where would he put his face?

Although it was Jim who came up with the idea of ​​the public invitation, he was able to agree to it at the time, which actually meant he agreed with the plan.

As a result, it didn’t work out...

"As long as I have a full stomach, I can say that the reason why I have been here for so long is actually because these mixed-race people are so enthusiastic and insist on inviting me to have dinner here.

"It's not because I haven't been able to see anyone that I wasted time..."

With this thought in mind, the blond boy enjoyed the exquisite dishes on this table with peace of mind.

This is not to say that he has completely lost his previous temper, but because he has clearly seen that the two people in front of him cannot suppress Melen at all.

You can't even grasp the other party's whereabouts.

The relationship between the two parties is not very deep at all.

In this case, what's the point of him scorning these two unrelated people?

After all, he was from a big family. Instead of losing his temper at them without restraint, it would be better to go back and cause trouble for those subordinates who provided wrong information.

"Then, what should I do with that illegitimate child?"

Kevin has a bit of a headache about this.

This is very confusing when I think about it.

Because he wants his parents to remarry, he needs to calm down his irritable father to prevent him from doing the wrong thing impulsively.

And because he wanted to appease his father's emotions, he had to find trouble with the illegitimate son again.

The purpose is just to prevent him from being targeted by his father...

However, the illegitimate son did not cooperate with his plan at all.

Then, the illegitimate child is very likely to be beaten by his father in a rage, and it is not certain whether he will survive...

"He is really ignorant."

Kevin secretly thought to himself, but couldn't ignore it.

On a small scale, this matter is related to the future of my parents, but on a larger scale, it is related to the alliance between the two wizarding families...

However, now that the plan is not going well, what can be done to save the situation?

There was something on his mind, so Kevin seemed a little absent-minded at the dinner table.

But before he could think of a solution, a commotion suddenly came from outside the restaurant.

The old assessor became a little restless, and Kevin glanced outside the door curiously.

This sight made him suddenly stunned.

Because he finally saw the figure he had been waiting for so long!

However……

"How did you become like this!?"

The bald Vice President Victor was the least calm. When he saw the visitor, he immediately rushed out and grabbed the visitor's arm, his tone was both annoyed and shocked.

"Uh, who are you?"

Mellen, who showed up, wanted to ask this question.

But when he saw the blond boy in the restaurant stretching his neck and looking this way, he didn't say anything else, but sighed with frustration on his face.

"I was chased and beaten several times in the afternoon, and I just managed to escape..."

"Why were you beaten?"

The old examiner not far away asked cooperatively.

So Mellen hesitated and said: "Because, because of gambling, I owe a lot of debt..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several people immediately became very exciting.
