Chapter 23: The circle is a bit messy

Mellon got out of bed before dawn the next day.

Then, when he got dressed and went out to find "Assessor Feng" and asked him to take him to see the owner of the life-saving spell, he discovered that someone got up earlier than himself—

The room opposite him had the wooden door open at the moment, and there was no one in the room. It was obvious that the building was already empty.

And when he walked down the old stairs to the first floor, he found that several adult wizards were gathered in the office of Assessor Feng and whispered something.

Those with dignified faces seemed to have something major happened.

"There is a little emergency."

The old examiner dressed as an ancient sage saw Melun coming, handed him a letter and whispered: "The letter contains the address and name of the Meteorological Association, it is difficult for me to leave today, you can only go by myself."

"what happened?"

Melon roughly guessed that this situation may be related to what happened last night, but he still asked a question knowingly.

"You don't need to pay attention to some small things."

"Old Feng" patted Melon on the shoulder, obviously not wanting to say more.

Mellon had to leave on his own.

He wasn't actually very interested in this. His fate was in his hands, and the little girl was saved, so what to do next?

It has nothing to do with him anyway.

Dressed in a black formal suit and walking on a deserted street, Meren wondered what kind of requirements he would face when he arrived at the place next.

What if it's too difficult?

Needless to say, it has to be grabbed.

It's just that the premise is that you must first figure out what level your actual combat ability is at the level of a wizard.

If you are a jerk, you still have to outsmart...

Just as he was thinking about it, he encountered two familiar figures on the way.

One of them was the little round-faced Martin who I saw last night. At the moment, he was wearing dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

The other is Martin's grandfather, Mellen's old acquaintance, butler Fox.

"Good morning, Mr. Gilbert."

When Melon approached, the old housekeeper took the initiative to say hello, and said in a respectful tone: "We are here to wait for you."

Maybe the initial dismounting was really impressive, and Melon always felt that the old housekeeper was not easy.

So I feel very uncomfortable about his respectful appearance.

The little round face next to him obviously didn't expect grandpa to have such an attitude, so he was a little stunned.

But then, the slight discomfort he had just raised disappeared in an instant.

Because Mellon returned a salute to the housekeeper in the same gesture.

"I'm also very happy to see you here, the housekeeper. But you must have come to see me. Is there something wrong?"

"Certainly thanks to Mr. Gilbert for helping the boy."

The old housekeeper said, and gave his grandson a look.

So Little Round Face made a big bow to Melun as if she had rehearsed it in advance, and said some words of gratitude.

Although it did pull you out of the fire pit, it's not so exaggerated, right?

Merron felt a little strange about this, but on second thought, he still hadn't figured out what the purpose of Little Round Face's infiltration into the association was, maybe it was a very important thing.

So they would do such a big gift?

Could it be something important?

Something to do with that lady's assassination?

While thinking about it, Meren and the grandfather and grandson greeted them—

In fact, there is nothing to say. Generally speaking, Mellen and Fox butler only have contact in formal occasions.

And he and the little round-faced Martin had not met a few times, and most of the times when they met were very unpleasant.

But that didn't stop him from keeping the conversation going.

What is the weather today is really good, it is more suitable to go fishing in the suburbs. Last time he went fishing with a few friends and caught a moving hand. At that time, he thought it was an illusion, but now it seems Barabara.

Anyway, as long as you provide a hook at the end of the conversation for the other person to bite, this level of small talk can go on forever.

The old butler also happily cooperated with him, so it didn't take long for everyone to look familiar.

"Madam knows what happened last night."

After feeling that the atmosphere was almost over, the old butler handed Melon a black wooden box that was always in his hand.

"This is her thanks to you. There is also a letter in it. It is very important. You must read it later."

"What's in there?"

Merlen raised an eyebrow at this.

"Of course it's a treasure."

The little round face, who had never spoken before, finally had a chance to interject at this time.

Just listen to his tone full of admiration: "Nothing that Madam has rewarded is simple."

"It's a magical item that enhances the third hand. It's very precious, and the things involved are more complicated. I didn't tell Martin, so please keep your mouth shut."

The old butler whispered a word.

Mellon became interested after hearing this.

Since his breathing technique master level, his third hand has not had the feeling of constantly adapting to the body's strengthening when he first awakened, and it may have reached the upper limit.

Because this thing is related to wizard talent, strength seems to be "inborn", so Meren has not heard of any way to continue to enhance it.

Originally, Meren didn't care too much about this. After all, he didn't know what level his talent belonged to among wizards. There was no need to think about how to continue to strengthen it.

But now, an opportunity to continue to strengthen has appeared...

The old housekeeper in front of him didn't even tell his grandson, so he could fully prove that there must be some great treasure in the box.

Maybe this will allow his third hand to break the ceiling?

What will happen after the breakthrough?

By the way, should I be polite or not...

Melun wanted to ask carefully about this treasure, but he was unable to secretly transmit a voice like the old housekeeper.

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from not far behind.

"Butler Fox? What a surprise! Didn't expect to meet you here."

"Master Kevin?"

The old butler was facing the direction of the person coming, so he recognized the other person after a little glance, and his tone was a little surprised.

"When did you arrive in Graham?"

"I just arrived last night. Because it was too late, I stayed at a friend's house and didn't have time to visit my wife."

In addition to the voice's answer, he also said hello to Martin with a small round face.

The little round face's response was very enthusiastic, and seemed to be very familiar with the other party, and even seemed to be a little respectful.

Mellen had also turned around and looked over at this time.

Then he discovered that the man behind him was the blond boy who was talking to Mrs. Chelsea when he performed magic at the banquet.

"Which is this-"

The visitor is also paying attention to the strange figure of Melen, and the words in his mouth are very polite.

However, when he saw Merron's appearance clearly, the voice stopped abruptly.

Because he also recognized Mellen.

"It's you?"

The blond boy's tone was full of surprise, obviously not expecting to meet Merron on this occasion.

"Hello."

Meren politely greeted the other party, but he had no special feelings for this man.

Although that banquet was a small offense to him, but now everyone has a certain relationship with the lady, this guy can't be stingy and come to trouble him, right?

The blond boy obviously didn't think so, but he didn't say much. After pulling the corners of his mouth, he also greeted politely.

"Master Kevin and Mr. Gilbert know each other?" Little Round Face was a little surprised at this.

"We met during the last banquet."

Before Merron could speak, the blond boy named Kevin explained.

However, he seemed reluctant to mention this matter, and then changed the subject.

"By the way, Steward Fox, there is something I want to ask you about."

"Master Kevin, what do you want to ask?"

"It's about the Rafaeli family, and now on this occasion..."

Kevin looked at Merron hesitantly as he spoke.

The old butler knew exactly what he was suspicious of at this time, so he explained: "Mr. Gilbert is also a wizard, and he does not need to avoid him."

wizard?

When did he become a wizard?

Kevin was stunned when he heard the words, looked at Merron carefully, and suddenly had a bad premonition.

He never thought that someone would awaken the blood of a wizard halfway, because it was too rare, and most wizards had never even heard of it.

It is even more impossible for him to think that someone will quickly practice breathing to the extreme and become a wizard - this kind of thing can only be seen in epic myths, and it is impossible to happen in reality.

So hearing the old housekeeper's words at this moment, Kevin instantly decided that Meren was already a wizard.

But why did he pretend to be an ordinary person last time?

Still "playing" yourself with that ordinary magic trick?

I have investigated before, his parents are obviously ordinary people, how could he be a wizard?

Is he really his mother's illegitimate child?

Knowing that he came to Graham, so he came to provoke himself, this direct descendant of the orthodox?

This possibility is very high, and it can also explain where Meren's wizard bloodline came from...

Thinking of this, the blond boy couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

He came to Graham this time, in fact, to investigate Mellen.

But it wasn't that he actively wanted to investigate—

After all, at the banquet last time, he got a positive answer from Mrs. Chelsea, so he was not afraid of being robbed of his fiancée.

Kevin came to investigate this time because his father, who was far away in the colony, wanted to find out what was going on with this Merron.

This is mainly because after the last banquet, when Kevin was chatting with the Book of Secret Words, he couldn't help but say it.

So his father was angry.

After all, judging from their age, when Mellon was born, they had not been married for a long time.

And counting the pregnancy time, maybe before they got married, the wife already had a relationship with someone else...

This is so insulting!

However, the two of them could not be sure about this at first, after all, there is no conclusive evidence.

So in addition to being angry, Kevin's father was not too impulsive, just told Kevin to investigate this matter carefully, and we can't wrong your mother.

But now it seems that there is no need to waste this energy at all...

"Mom, how can you do this?"

Kevin couldn't help feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Dad loves you so much, yet you treat him like this?"

"He's so proud, if he knew the truth of this matter, how sad he would be..."

His mind was greatly impacted, but as a top pure-blood family, he didn't show any abnormal emotions on the surface.

"That's it, I woke up early this morning and heard about the annihilation of the Raifali family."

He said to the housekeeper: "This happened so suddenly, we were all shocked, so we wanted to ask you... Maybe you know some specifics?"

"I just heard about this matter this morning, but I don't know the details."

The housekeeper said: "Perhaps the lady might know?"

It was a lie, of course, and he had learned the truth from Mrs Chelsea last night.

But this matter involved those mad Practitioners, and then it involved the fact that Madam had seen the believer.

He would not rashly disclose the news without the consent of Mrs. Chelsea.

Although the boy in front of him is the future "uncle" of the Chelsea family.

"Is that so..."

The blond boy who didn't know the inside story believed the housekeeper's words without much doubt.

After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to leave.

However, before leaving, he unconsciously glanced at Merron.

Those eyes are very strange, that is, angry, disgusted, faint... It seems a little kind?

It made Merron very inexplicable.

The old butler and his Martin grandson also said goodbye to Mellen.

Before leaving, he reminded him again that he must pay attention to the black box in his hand, and find a place where no one else is before opening it.

Of course, Melun nodded in agreement, so after the grandfather and grandson left, he put away the black box and continued rushing in the direction of the Meteorological Association.

After a while, he arrived at the association's residence, and through the guidance of a kind-hearted female member, he very smoothly met the person who possessed his life-saving spell.

The client is a very burly man with tough facial features and sharp eyes, which is very aggressive at first glance.

However, the request he said made Merron instantly stunned on the spot.

"I want you to seduce my fiancée."

Just listen to the calm voice said: "It's better to get her pregnant."
