You call this the mastermind?

The school leaders did not come to find Mellen, but announced that the entrance ceremony was postponed for some reason.

There was no explanation for the postponement.

So the students who slowly dispersed were full of confusion.

Until a piece of news suddenly spread, they seemed to have discovered the truth and began to panic.

The news was not complicated, but more and more people found that they could not contact outside the area where Fort Saint Grant was located.

However, simple news does not mean it is not serious.

In this situation, it is obvious that someone has blocked the area around the school!

Such behavior is certainly not to do anything good, and no one would believe that this sudden enemy would come to Fort Saint Grant without any preparation.

However, as students, they could not do anything except discuss, and finally they could only enter some emergency shelters on the campus under the organization of the staff sent by the school.

As a result, a school opening ceremony that should have been lively was interrupted before it even started.

At the same time, someone from the school had come to Mellen to discuss the cancellation of the blood contract.

It was still the white-bearded vice-principal who went to Mellen in the morning.

However, compared with his previous appearance, he was much more polite now.

Not only did he invite Mellen to an elegantly decorated reception hall, but he also solemnly introduced his identity.

He had to be polite, as the incident that happened before was really intimidating.

Even as the vice-principal, he was not sure who could represent the school between the two parties.

And he doubted that if he had not said anything in a series of meetings before, but only asked those who were close to him to speak out against giving benefits to Mellen, he might have become one of the "voluntary resignations" now.

Of course, this attitude could not be called fear.

He was already very old, and although the position of vice-principal could bring a lot of intangible benefits, his status in the entire wizarding world was very high.

But educators were not politicians after all. Although there were many people who valued benefits above all else, he was not one of them.

But, knowing that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke, why did he offend him?

"It is not difficult to remove the blood contract. All you need to do is recite the spells that have been prepared in advance in the contract, and the relevant constraints will no longer exist."

The vice-president with a neat white beard and a calm demeanor sat opposite Mellen. He did not mention the "earthquake" that had occurred in the upper echelons before, but discussed the current crisis with Mellen as if that thing did not exist.

"So, including Principal Browning, all of us sincerely hope that we can get the help of the heir of St. Grant Castle in this sudden crisis."

Because the current situation of the crisis has been mentioned before, Mellen has now learned that someone wants to "occupy" this school.

This surprised him because it was a little different from what he imagined.

After all, the school is not a place else. The bad reputation caused by attacking a group of students is even worse than attacking the Ministry of Magic.

If this is really done, whether it succeeds or not, the camp to which the enemy belongs will inevitably become the object of hostility of the entire wizarding world.

"If there is an invasion by foreign enemies, I certainly will not choose to stay out of it."

Inwardly confused, Mellen responded very sincerely on the surface.

"After all, in every sense, I am already a part of Saint Grant Castle, and the school's enemies are also my enemies."

Looks pretty easy to talk to?

The vice principal breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he heard the black-haired boy say: "It's just that I'm not sure how much help I can provide to the school in this matter. I can only say that I will do my best."

It's normal to do your best, but who knows how much strength you have? Are you really trying your best?

"The school is re-evaluating the rights and interests that the heir should enjoy."

The vice principal said so.

If you want to enjoy the corresponding rights and interests, of course you have to show your due value.     This is not to embarrass Mellen, but the most basic principle of the transaction.

After all, if you pay such a high price to reach a deal with the heir, but he can't do anything afterwards, wouldn't the school become a laughing stock?

This is not a good thing for Mellen, the heir, because if it really comes to that, an evaluation of deceiving the world and stealing the name is inevitable.

Mellen is of course aware of this.

He actually didn't really care whether he could enjoy privileges in school, but he cared a lot about the water of the spring of heaven.

So although he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to personally get involved in this "driving tigers to devour wolves", he didn't really refuse to help at this moment.

So after hearing this, Mellen said very straightforwardly: "Please tell me first, what are the specific problems facing the school at present?"

...

To clarify what problems Saint Grant Castle is facing, we have to see what Hodgson Simon, the leader of the Scarlet Cross, has prepared.

There are actually quite a few.

Including but not limited to investigating the defense situation of various key locations on the campus, finding out the strength and details of Saint Grant Castle, and constantly developing members of the organization in the school...

He has been hiding here in disguise for five or six years, and he consciously did all this very well.

And if his whereabouts had not been discovered inexplicably, he felt that he could do even better.

"How did I get exposed?"

Pretending to be an ordinary student, walking in the slightly empty school, he still couldn't figure out this problem.

He felt that his disguise was perfect. He had met many top wizards over the years, but no one could see his true identity.

How did someone suddenly find something unusual?

This was obviously related to the tragic death of the old professor, but Hodgson Simon had no time to investigate.

Because he was busy doing another thing now -

Find a way to stay away from the school.

He was a very cautious person. Since he couldn't figure out why he was exposed, he didn't think it was safe for him.

So even though the next thing was crucial, he didn't plan to stay and watch.

After seeing that he had completely gotten rid of the wizards who were investigating his whereabouts, he walked out of his hiding place and prepared to run away.

On the one hand, it involved his own safety, and on the other hand, Hodgson Simon didn't think there would be any accidents.

Because the next target of this school was not only the pirate king William Pantoria, but also the deep-sea race hidden in the depths of this sea.

Although the sudden exposure was a bit unexpected, it didn't matter. They had originally planned to take action during the opening of the school.

The timing was not critical, but because the existence of the child of destiny had been confirmed not long ago.

So the plan that had been prepared for many years could officially begin.

For today's event, several groups of people were very well prepared, and their strength was enough to crush the unexpected Saint Grant Castle, not to mention that there were many people from the Scarlet Cross in the school.

With such an advantage, what could Saint Grant Castle use to resist?

"After seeing the situation clearly, if Browning had enough ambition, he would not even resist..."

When this thought flashed through his mind, Hodgson Simon smiled.

However, he couldn't laugh any more.

Because he suddenly found that he was surrounded inexplicably!
