Chapter 44: Uncle Clark, run!
When the turmoil broke out in the hall, Mellon, who had flung himself away, took advantage of no one to notice him, knocked open a window at the corner of the stairway, and fled to the back courtyard of the manor.
Then, before he could stand still, there was a sudden earthquake-like roar behind him.
Turning his head and looking in through the broken window, he could see one after another terrifying black giant pythons breaking out one after another like ground worms, with blood-red eyes staring at each suspicious figure.
At the same time, a large number of small black snakes continued to emerge along the potholes broken by the giant python. They were densely packed and spread rapidly, dyeing the surface of the originally clean hall into a squirming pitch black, causing panic and screams.
"Damn, my intensive phobia is about to commit..."
Unconsciously shivering, Meren turned around and hurried away from the building that was constantly roaring, hoping that the war would not spread to him—
He suddenly changed the conversation before, naturally because he heard that Mrs. Chelsea used special means to inform him.
However, even though she knew that the lady was a very powerful witch, Merron was not sure how powerful she was.
What's even worse is that he still doesn't know whether those enemies are strong or weak!
So now, Merron, who has always been cautious, naturally runs as far as he wants, and doesn't even have the mood to stay where he is to see what means high-level wizards have.
"But this time it should be a big hit."
Thinking like this, he turned his head to look at the courtyard that looked chaotic in the night, and wanted to find a place where no one was around to check his harvest carefully.
As a result, before he could take a few steps, a panting greeting came from behind him.
"Wait, wait for me, let's run together!"
The voice was a bit familiar, and Merron turned his head to see that it was the short wizard who had dueled him before.
I don't know what he experienced just now. At this moment, his face was pale, and cold sweat kept oozing out from his forehead.
When he ran to Melon's side, his footsteps were even weaker, as if he was about to collapse.
"Someone is chasing you behind your back?"
Mellon was therefore wary.
"No, no."
The short wizard turned pale and said, "I'm just—those snakes—vomit..."
He suddenly bent down and started to vomit, his face was full of pain, and the gushing mixed juice splashed on Meren's trousers!
Really **** bad luck.
Seeing this, Meren cursed inwardly, but the surroundings could not be called safe at the moment, so he ignored whether the other party had finished vomiting, grabbed his arm directly, and hurriedly dragged him to the building complex farther away.
The surrounding environment was chaotic, and there were continuous roars and panicked screams behind him. In the courtyard corridors and paths, there were also servants and guards who passed by with solemn expressions and even fled.
Some people with unclean hands and feet even started to take advantage of the fire, hiding expensive ornaments that they usually liked in their pockets...
The core of the chaos was in the banquet hall, but at this moment, as if there were also attacks on the periphery, the entire Ernest Manor was in chaos.
"Please - slow - vomit..."
Merron's footsteps were fast, even faster than those of the surrounding guards rushing by, which caused the short wizard with a nauseated stomach to want to vomit but couldn't spit out at all—
The gust of wind kept pouring into his mouth, making his voice even distorted.
After finally waiting for Merron to stop at an open-air stable, he barely managed to say a complete sentence.
"You're running too fast—huh? Am I okay?"
When speaking, the short wizard was pleasantly surprised to find that his physical discomfort had disappeared for no reason!
It's just that even though the nausea is gone, he still feels powerless now.
So seeing that Mellon didn't mean to leave here for a while, he simply slumped against the fence at the entrance of the stable, and said suspiciously:
"I seriously doubt that when you and I were dueling before, did you release water..."
"Fast running doesn't mean quick reaction." Mellen, who was looking at the stable environment, responded casually.
The surroundings seemed safe, and there was no one other than the horse, so he temporarily put his mind at ease.
After raising his feet and rubbing the dirty vomit on the surface of his trousers against the stable fence, Meren wanted to find a place to sit down and check his stats panel to see if there were any fatalities.
It's just that the other party obviously didn't want to make him quieter.
"I thought you were an arrogant and ignorant guy who relied on your talent, but I didn't expect that it was just a performance by you."
After sitting on the ground to rest for a while, the short wizard's pale face recovered a little blood, and the words in his mouth seemed to be full of vitality.
"As a wizard apprentice, it is admirable to be willing to take such a big risk to cooperate with that Kevin's strategy. Such courage is really admirable."
If it wasn't for trouble, I wouldn't take the initiative to do this kind of thing...
Melon thought to himself when he heard the words, and said in his mouth: "Aren't you angry? You came to this banquet without knowing it beforehand, and almost died here."
"It's not that you don't know at all."
The short wizard named Mike said, "Jim wants me to challenge you. Although he didn't say it, I figured that you should have a grudge."
"But at the time, I thought it was just an ordinary little conflict. I didn't expect it to be so serious..."
When speaking, this peer was full of fear, obviously having lingering fears about the previous experience.
"By the way, I still don't know what your name is?"
"Iger, Iger Wilson."
"My name is Mike Cullen, thank you so much just now, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have the strength to run - that group of reptiles can scare people to death."
After patting his chest with joy, he asked curiously, "Do you know who those people are?"
"I am not sure as well."
Melon lied and said without blinking: "Kevin just asked me to cooperate with him in this scene. I'm basically the same as you, and I don't know anything else."
Of course this is not true, but Mellon is not afraid of being exposed after the incident—
It was not for nothing that he taunted Kevin at the banquet before, and if Kevin refused to admit that he planned this incident, then he would have to admit that the purpose of holding this banquet was to trouble Merron.
While admitting this incident, he also had to admit that he had eaten a lot with Melen, and then was severely humiliated by Mellen in public.
So, one is the heroic figure of resourcefulness, and the other is the insidious villain who is stupid and ignorant.
Two choices, fools will choose the latter.
Even according to Mellen's expectation, Kevin, or the family behind Kevin, will not only not disclose the truth, but will publicize Kevin's wit and bravery in this matter.
After all, as long as there are not many casualties tonight, the whole thing can be regarded as a very wonderful plan, and it is worth showing off for publicity.
However, as long as Kevin's family advertises and admits it, not only the guys behind the scenes will focus on Kevin.
Even with the Kevin family, people will be sent to protect Melen from accidents—
After all, I took a huge risk to cooperate with your child's plan, and in a blink of an eye, I "died" because of the revenge. It's unreasonable, right?
If you are so weak, you can't protect your "own people", who will mess with you in the future?
Based on this, this influence can even extend to Melen's future situation in the wizarding society-
Having had such an "honorable cooperation" with a son of a top pure-blood family, unless it was a fool, no one would openly despise Melen's mixed-race identity.
And what about Kevin himself?
Although he knows the truth, he will not really regard Mellen as a collaborator, but in order to maintain his image, he will inevitably maintain the "close" relationship between the two parties on the surface.
As for whether he will do any other little tricks secretly, Mellen doesn't think so.
After all, the two sides did not have any revenge for killing their father, and he gave Kevin a good meal tonight.
In this situation, how narrow-minded does Kevin have to think about making trouble with Melen?
In this way, what happened tonight is a good thing with no risk for Melon.
In the whole thing, he not only got his fate, but also got rid of the risk of being targeted by people behind the scenes, and also solved Kevin's troubles with him.
Because this matter is very likely to involve the assassination of Mrs. Chelsea, she has to accept Melun's love.
And if Merron walks around the wizarding world afterwards, he can also add a layer of identity that is more "detached" than other hybrids.
It can be said that it is one stone N bird!
"If things go well on Arthur's side, then tonight's encounter will be complete."
Thinking of this, Mellon couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
I didn't see Arthur before making such a big noise, where did that guy... go?
Because of the necklace, Meren still cares about him.
Unfortunately, no one can answer this question now.
The short wizard not far away was chattering, but he said something related to wizard duels, and claimed to introduce Meren to his teacher.
Melon doesn't know who his teacher is, so he's not interested in this, but listening to the other party, he seems to be a very powerful guy?
…
Because the smell in the stables was not very pleasant, after the two stayed here for a while, they decided to move their positions.
The short wizard named Mike wanted to go to the hall to see what was going on, but Merron thought it was too risky, so he refused to go.
The two then rushed in the opposite direction from the hall.
As a result, they didn't go very far when they saw a slender figure wearing a ghost mask, screaming and passing through the garden path not far away.
"Isn't this the **** the second floor who yelled at me and scolded me?"
Meren was taken aback by this, and before he could see what was going on behind the girl, the other party also discovered him.
Then he shouted something that surprised him.
"Uncle Clark, run!"
