You call this the mastermind?

Whether Mellen will run away depends on the attitude of the Mixed Blood Association on this matter.

If they really want to force him to attend that banquet, then he certainly can't stay and suffer this grievance.

Anyway, the life-saving spell is basically in hand. Next, as long as he collects some intelligence, he can officially start to implement the plan.

It 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 by a third party is a way to quickly bring two strangers closer.

At the same time, this matter also involves the principle behind the phrase "Students together...".

So, today he seems to have helped Arthur with his plans for almost a whole day, but his real purpose is to use this matter to quickly get closer to the other party.

And now, he can confidently say that even if the stepfather's plan fails next, or the plan takes more time than the death time limit, it is not difficult for him to borrow a water storage bead from Arthur temporarily, or even borrow his family heirloom necklace.

After all, he didn't need to use that kind of thing all the time. It was a temporary loan, not a non-return.

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

Therefore, Mellen can now be said to be "free from trouble".

In this state, the Half-Blood Association has nothing to check and balance him. Why should he sacrifice himself for this association?

What impact will his leaving the association have, except that he can no longer continue to receive wizard education here?

At worst, he can find another wizard organization to join.

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

There are a lot of things to do next.

First of all, he hasn't had time to look at the black box that Butler Fox handed to him in the morning. He needs to see what is inside.

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

The attached magic itself is not the point.

So Mellen doesn't need to save his life to add points to it.

In other words, only a little life is needed to quickly learn the magic, and the rest can be used at will.

Again, the execution of the stepfather's plan requires him to communicate with the spirit.

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 require a lot of intelligence support to customize specific ideas.

Otherwise it is just empty talk.

This matter is actually the most troublesome, because Mellen can't communicate with the "rich woman" herself. His level is not enough, so he can only "play a little trick" around the possible servants around the rich woman.

So Mellen plans to do this last.

...

In the single room of the hotel that is not exquisite but still tidy, Mellen sat on a feather bed in the room and first opened the black wooden box handed by the butler Fox in the morning.

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

After opening the letter, Mellen found that the letter was written by the old butler Fox, and the content on it made him stunned.

"Madam wants to take me as an apprentice because she foresees that there may be a major change in the Mixed Blood Association in the future... To put it nicely, isn't this training a spy?"

Merren didn't know that he was actually the first and most likely the only apprentice that Madam Chelsea had decided to take in.

He didn't even understand that the relationship between apprentices and teachers in the wizarding world meant a very serious inheritance relationship - acknowledging someone as his apprentice, but taking care of him for life.

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

At most, it was similar to the relationship between graduate students and mentors in the previous life, what else could it be?

However, although he didn't have any special feelings, Mellen still thought about it carefully.

His current thoughts have actually changed a little compared to the beginning.

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

Especially this so-called apprentice relationship.

In Mellen's view, this apprentice sounded nice, but in fact he was just a spy, and a spy naturally couldn't disclose the relationship between himself and his "employer".

So if the employer has any troubles, it will not affect the spy.

But on the contrary, when encountering problems, the spy can ask the employer for help...

In a world with strict hierarchy, what method can quickly cross the class?

Without a doubt, hold the thigh of a rich woman and ask for a ride!

"But, if I really agree, I have to go back to the Mixed Blood Association, um..."

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

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

At this time, the information in the attribute panel was no different from before.

The corresponding fate numbers are 6 and 8.

The former is gray and the latter is green, which is Melen's main savings now.

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

Thinking of this, Melen touched the green fate on the page with his finger.

As soon as he thought about it, a green mist appeared at his fingertips, and then quickly wrapped around his fingers and merged into it.

A lot of unfamiliar memories emerged in Melen's mind.

[You have obtained Herbology (Entry Level)]

...

Entry-level Herbology?

Melen was stunned.

Although this entry-level Herbology has a lot of corresponding memories and contains a lot of knowledge, it must be very troublesome to learn.

But he has never thought about doing herb collecting or pounding work in the future.

However, it doesn't matter. It's always good to know more about herbal medicine.

So Melen thought about it and chose to draw again.

[You have obtained basic wand making (skilled)]

...

"Why is it an auxiliary ability again?"    Adapting to the new knowledge in his mind, Melen couldn't help frowning.

"Doing this will cause a lot of variables..."

He suddenly had an idea.

However, this idea seems a bit risky...

He hesitated, but thought, if it was always this kind of rubbish ability, wouldn't his life be wasted?

And trying it out is also an exploration of the golden finger. If it works...

Thinking of this, Melen has made a decision, so he picked up a pen and wrote a sentence on the page -

"I will have a big luck in the next minute!"

No special phenomenon was found, but the gray fate on the panel was instantly reduced by one.

Melen was overjoyed.

He thought that changing luck would cost a lot, but he didn't expect that it would only cost the lowest fate!

If he had known earlier, why would he hesitate?

After taking a deep breath, Melen tapped the green fate three times in a row!

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

...

[You have obtained the electric light technique (mastery)]

...

[You have obtained the flash point sword technique (mastery)]

...

This time, it was not just the memory that poured in, Melen felt that his third hand had also changed slightly.

At the same time, some strange changes seemed to have occurred inside his body, which were hard to explain.

When he came back to his senses from his trance, he still didn't understand what was going on.

"Where is the wizard? Why is there a sword technique?"

Merlen was puzzled.

The memories of sword techniques have been imprinted in his mind, but after careful consideration, it seems that this is not a great skill.

But this skill just now, inexplicably made his body react. This...

He was thinking about it, but unfortunately Mellen didn't have a sword or other melee weapons in his hand, so he couldn't experiment at all.

So he had to experiment with something else.

He took out the magic wand from his magic pocket, listened for a while, and suddenly pointed the tip of the magic wand at a beam in the hotel room.

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

Looking closely, you can find that it is actually a mosquito, which has been burned into a small ball by the current.

"Instant magic is really convenient."

Merlen sighed.

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

But the master level of electromagnetism is completely different from the entry level.

Now he can not only control the strength of the magic release, but also point to hit wherever he wants with a thought...

A standard mosquito killer!

But other than that, there is nothing to experiment with.

The so-called basic duel method is used to compete with other wizards, and Mellen can't use it effectively by himself.

And the swordsmanship is even more impossible to practice, because it requires the handheld weapon to be metal, and a random wooden stick will not work.

So Mellen thought about it, and next he should read the book sent by the lady, or go to the psychic to get information.

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

Mellen didn't hesitate and picked up the book called "Robin Rafaley's Family Adventure Guide".

The letter said that this book has a viewing limit and seems to be very precious. The butler told him not to let others read it, and remember to return it to the lady after reading it.

However, when Mellen opened it, he didn't see anything special.

It was as if this was just an ordinary biography, and the stories in it were both clichéd and boring.

But I don't know what happened. As he read it, Mellen fainted inexplicably.

When he opened his eyes again, he suddenly found that he appeared in a bright wooden house, and turned into a thin, bearded middle-aged man!

"This..."

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

Not only did his body become the male owner of this house, but when he looked sideways, he could also see a family portrait of a family of three hanging on the wall of the wooden house -

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

"What's going on?"

Mellen was confused.

There was no mention of such a thing in the letter?

...

Just when Mellen was "encountering a huge change" and was at a loss.

In the Mixed Blood 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 search again, 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 walked hurriedly out of the living room.
