You call this a black hand?

Although some time has passed, at this moment, the area around Ernest Manor is more "lively" than when the turmoil occurred.

Under the bright moon and stars, a large number of guards carrying cold weapons and firearms were carrying kerosene lamps and constantly searching every corner of the manor in case there were any remaining enemies.

After the disaster, many young wizards who were still in shock did not show any fear. Instead, they gathered excitedly on the street outside the gate of the manor, discussing with their own small circles what had just happened.

There was a lot of noise, as if an attempted attack had transformed the place into a vegetable market.

And in this vegetable market, the name that was mentioned the most was undoubtedly Kevin.

Next is "Eiger".

Everyone was talking about the story of the two men conspiring to kill a group of gutter rats. There was no trace of concealed anger on their faces, but they looked proud.

It seems that once they were used as a backdrop, they also became one of the conspiracy collaborators.

Some wizards even began to take out books of secret words and gossip about this matter to their family members and friends.

The news spread rapidly.

However, as one of the parties involved, Mellen did not feel proud at this time.

In order to keep a low profile, he even put the cat-face mask back on his face, blending in the "vegetable market" under the night, and the whole person looked inconspicuous.

This is not to say that he is a person who likes to keep a low profile and is afraid of being recognized.

It's because Melen is still busy with other things and has no time to brag with the group of peers around him.

"Arthur isn't really going to meet Jim's mother, is he?"

Looking around and finding no one, he secretly wondered.

No way...if that guy was a European emperor, how could he be stabbed in the back by his girlfriend so badly?

Besides, even if they met each other for the first time, it would be impossible for the two of them to stay for so long...

Or was it that he was unlucky enough to bump into that group of enemies and was killed or even captured?

Or did Arthur meet his fiancée and then go off somewhere to rekindle their relationship?

As he walked through the busy streets and glanced at the people around him, Mellen had many associations in his mind.

But part of his attention was always placed on his left wrist, intentionally or unintentionally.

Under the dim moonlight, a jet-black bracelet was tightly held there. It matched the black cuffs of the formal suit and looked inconspicuous.

However, if you look closely, you can find that the so-called bracelet is not a dead thing. It is clearly a small black snake wrapped around Melen's wrist!

This thing was given by his teacher.

Mrs. Chelsea believes that after what happened tonight, the Felix family will definitely find a way to protect Melen's safety.

So she didn't want to make any preparations in this regard at first.

But it seemed that the relationship between the two masters and apprentices had warmed up during the subsequent chat, and it seemed that she had thought of the consequences of her previous carelessness.

So when they finally parted, they suddenly gave the snake to Melen for self-defense.

It startled him.

However, although he was a little scared of such a cold-bodied reptile, Mellen felt that there would still be a long time to come, and he could not be like "Ye Gong loves dragons".

So I endured the awkwardness and "tied" this sleeping little snake to my wrist.

Mellen didn't know what the snake was used for. Mrs. Chelsea only said that if she encountered a strong enemy, she would throw it out, and then she didn't mention anything else.

So it seems that this humble little guy is not as simple as it seems.

only……

"What kind of strong enemy can be called strong?"

While Meren was looking for Arthur in the night, he was absent-mindedly thinking about the hunter, or in other words, about how strong he was now.

He felt that his teacher seemed to attach great importance to hunters.

But if according to what she said, if you increase your breathing skills to the limit and mutate into a wizard, wouldn't you be invincible?

However, Melen did not feel that he was invincible.

Speaking of reaction speed, it is indeed very fast and can completely crush wizards of the same level.

But when he was saving his daughter tonight, when he was fighting the middle-aged wizard who was pretending to be a guard, he clearly felt that his reaction could no longer create an overwhelming situation in front of that person.

At least that person could barely keep up with his speed to cast magic, instead of being unable to fight back.

vitality?

This seems to be very strong, but to what extent it is, Mellen has no idea -

Going to get beaten up just to extort money was already his limit. If he really wanted to go deeper and test whether he could be reborn after losing his limbs, Melen couldn't make up his mind.

Frankly speaking, he was afraid of pain.

Others, such as physical strength, running speed, and even skin defense, are indeed far beyond ordinary people, but they can still feel the limits.

So this situation has nothing to do with "invincibility".

Or Melen suspected that his hunter profession was indeed at full level, but he only had a strong health bar and a "casting bar", but did not have a full set of skills to match.

That's why he looks like a noob.

"Then next, we need to figure out where to get hunter skills..."

Mellen's mind was racing with this thought.

If he has skills, he can test whether he lacks supporting abilities, so there is no such thing as invincibility.

Unfortunately, because inheritance is difficult and time-consuming, only some organizations with a long history in the contemporary era have the ability and energy to specifically train hunters to serve as thugs.

Elsewhere, it is difficult to find skills for this profession that is about to be eliminated.

Including Mrs. Chelsea, there is no such thing.

This made Mellen couldn't help but think about the origin of his flashpoint swordsmanship——

I drew it with my destiny after the incident at the Mixed-Blood Association. I also drew the basic wizard dueling technique and the mastery-level lightning technique.

So maybe there might be this kind of inheritance in the association?

However, it doesn't matter even if it isn't, because he has already learned about another exact channel, which is Fort St. Grant.

St. Grant's Castle is a top wizard school. The lady said that in the school's Starry Library, there is a special collection of books related to hunters and knights, which can be used to enhance the knowledge of young wizards.

There are many "skill books" in it.

So she said that after Meren enters school, if he has mastered the breathing method, he can learn it directly from there.

This gave Mellen a new level of expectations for the so-called top wizard academy.

But the lady also said that you can only practice hunter abilities for a brief taste, and do not practice high-level skills, because activating hunter abilities will consume vitality.

Mellen was very surprised by this, because when he used Flash Point Sword Technique before, he didn't feel that any life was consumed. Instead, he felt that it consumed the residue of some kind of energy in his body.

This kind of energy is instinctively absorbed by the body from the surrounding environment during the day. It can make Melen basically not feel hungry, and can maintain strong energy anytime and anywhere.

Although no energy can be absorbed at night, there is still some energy left in the body.

So Meren began to doubt again that he was already an "innate master" and could use the surrounding natural forces for his own purposes.

…

All in all, Mellen is in a weird mood right now.

For a while I felt like I was almost invincible, very awesome.

After a while, I felt that I should not dream, I should be humble, I should take it one step at a time, and I should not overdo it.

Then, in this chaotic state of mind, he suddenly saw a familiar figure on a remote street behind the manor.

That was not Arthur, but little yellow-haired Kevin with blond hair.

At this moment, he was carrying a black suitcase and standing at the corner of the street as if his body was frozen. He didn't know what he was looking at, and his expression was full of horror.

"Did this guy come to seek revenge from those people?"

Mellen immediately became vigilant when he saw this, but after watching for a while, he felt that he was overthinking.

So he walked over and said hello to Kevin without any embarrassment.

The other party subconsciously replied, but he did not look at Meren, but kept staring blankly at the remote street in front of him.

In other words, looking at the two figures on the street, the expressions on their faces were dull, and they were obviously shocked.

After following his gaze, Meren was also stunned for a moment, and then filled with wonder.

"I didn't expect that a guy like Arthur, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a talent for picking up girls?"
