You call this a black hand?

I haven’t been back for a long time and my home is still the same.

Except for the eldest brother Robbie, who was scolding the servants in the lawned courtyard, nothing else had changed.

"This is the last time, I solemnly warn you, if there is another time-"

The harsh words stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

Watching the black-haired boy jumping out of the carriage.

Robbie, a young man with black hair but a slightly anxious hairline couldn't help but be surprised.

"Didn't you go on a trip, Melen?"

"It's not interesting, so I came back early." The young man replied.

"But, you seem to be a little different?"

"I'm still growing, what's weird about that?"

Saying this, Meren looked at the pale-faced maid next to his brother and asked a little strangely: "What happened?"

"Nothing, just a little thing."

The young man shook his head and had no intention of telling his younger brother about the maid's corruption.

Mellen was not interested in anything. He nodded casually and pretended to enter the room.

As expected, his brother Robbie immediately stopped him.

"There's something I want to tell you."

After pulling Mellen into the corner, the young man put on a mysterious look.

"What's up?"

Mellen asked a little strangely.

Isn't there just a cousin here who may not be able to fight with eight sticks? What's so mysterious about it?

"You remember Uncle James, right?"

"Of course I remember the one who died of syphilis."

His tone was very casual and seemed to have no sense of respect, which surprised Robbie.

"...Don't you have a very good relationship?"

He always told me dirty jokes, Mellen thought, of course we have a good relationship.

But this kind of good relationship is not a real good relationship. In fact, Mellen is always wary of that uncle.

Because he felt that someone who could tell dirty jokes to a little boy who was less than ten years old at the time could not be a good person.

However, Mellen had no intention of arranging a dead person, so he did not explain, but directly asked: "What happened?"

When Robbie saw this, he didn't hide it and simply told Mellen that his parents had arranged a marriage and the background of the girl.

So Mellen was a little speechless.

It turns out that the surprise my mother mentioned in her letter a while ago turned out to be this?

Where is this surprise?

You, a woman who advocates women's rights, actually started to arrange marriages. It's outrageous!

But even though he thought so, Meren didn't care much.

The parents who go out every now and then are very unconventional. Mellen has not listened to them since he was a child, so he doesn't pay attention to his parents' orders and matchmaker advice.

Relatively speaking, he was very curious about the cousin himself.

Because he had never heard of it, that his old uncle who died of syphilis had an illegitimate daughter.

"She was very tired from riding all the way, so she went to rest."

Brother Robbie said: "If you want to see your fiancée, you may have to wait a while."

"But don't worry, there's nothing wrong with her appearance. It can even be said that this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl."

She's not pretty, and she's not her real fiancée, so Meren doesn't care much about it.

But he thought of another thing.

"She won't say she wants to live in our house, right?"

"What good things are you thinking about? How can you live in the husband's house before you are engaged?"

Because he knew how beautiful the girl was, Robbie never expected that his brother would refuse.

He even subconsciously felt that this was a great joy, even though the woman had a relatively low status and was an illegitimate daughter.

"She mentioned before that she has some relatives and friends in Graham City, so she will leave after seeing you."

Mellen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is best. I have to go to college next month and I don't have time to pay attention to her."

"Going to college?"

Robbie was shocked when he heard this, "You haven't finished your primary education yet, why did you go to college?"

…

There is no such thing as junior high school or high school in this world. The education before going to college is collectively called primary education.

There is no standard for education level. Since there is no college entrance examination, whether you can get into college depends on you to apply to a certain university and then take the entrance exam.

"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"

The same is true in the wizarding world, so there is nothing wrong with calling wizarding schools universities.

It was not easy to talk about this kind of thing, so Mellen just said a few perfunctory words and sent his cheap brother to Hu.

Then, ignoring his desire to inquire further, he walked directly towards the classically styled villa.

Since he was taking a nap, Meren naturally stopped thinking about seeing his cousin soon.

It happened that the servant mentioned that some letters had been delivered to him during this period, so Mellen planned to go to the study first to take a look.

There is nothing special about this. Some of the letters came from editors of publishing houses urging me to write manuscripts. Some of them were sent by book fans through the publishing house. Some of the letters I received came from Mellen, who had not seen him for a long time. One of his theology teachers asked him why he did not go to school.

Of course, there are also letters from several pen pals he has contacted in the past.

The letter signed Juliana made Mellen raise his eyebrows unconsciously.

Opening the letter and looking at it, he found that it was another letter involving company management, or company employee management issues.

Juliana always asks this kind of questions, but she is also very stupid. She just can't get around many seemingly simple knowledge points.

He looks like a primary school student who is being tutored by his parents for homework, but cannot learn how to do it.

"If you want your employees to respect you more, there is a basic trick."

After reading the content of the letter, Mellen wrote a reply on the spot.

"In daily interactions, you should ask them to call you by your professional title instead of your name. For example, call you manager, boss, or teacher. In this way, when they greet you, they will subconsciously think more about the identities corresponding to these positions, but

Be careful..."

Mellen didn't curse this time.

Because after he heard that Kevin's mother was also named Juliana, he felt inexplicably that scolding his pen pal would be like scolding Kevin's mother, which felt very awkward.

But he didn't know if it was an illusion. When he put down his quill and began to dry the wet ink on the letter, he seemed to hear a rather disappointed sigh...

Meren raised his head and looked around alertly, but found nothing unusual.

So he didn't pay much attention to it.

The master's breathing method made his physical fitness astonishingly strong, which naturally also included the strengthening of his hearing.

If he doesn't control it, he will always hear all kinds of trivial noises outside.

When walking on the city streets at night, you may even hear some disturbing noises coming from the buildings on both sides.

It just annoyed him so much.

"Some things are not good if they are too strong."

Thinking helplessly in his heart, Melen had nothing to do, so he was ready to practice some of his newly acquired life-saving skills——

The inheritance of the Potions Professor has greatly increased his knowledge, but due to the restrictions on his personal level, there are not many wizarding methods he can use now, so he can only digest them slowly.

Knight Heritage does not have this flaw.

Relying on the master-level breathing method, Melen can now learn one of the top skills in the inheritance.

Light of the Sun, this is the name of this life-saving skill, and its effect is probably absolute defense.

At least in my memory, the leader of the Knights who used this unique skill several times has never had his defenses breached by the enemy.

This is also the untold secret of the so-called Knights of the Dawn, the top knight's secret skill that only the leader can learn.

It's just that because it's just memory, Melen can't use skill points to get started, so he can only practice it by himself.

When will this ability be included in the attribute column, he can try to upgrade it with skill points.

This is a relatively slow process. After all, it is a top-level ability and is not as easy to learn as basic skills.

But Meren has a "maximum level" body after all, so if you say how difficult it is to learn this ability, it can't be called it.

At least he felt that he would be able to learn this ability in the next few days.

However, the cultivation of this ability requires a certain amount of space, and the study is too narrow to use it.

But the practice scene couldn't be watched by others, so Mellen walked towards his spacious bedroom.

As a result, as soon as he opened the bedroom door, he felt something was wrong.
