You call this the mastermind?

Merlen felt very lucky.

After observing the huge map that seemed to correspond to the various areas of Saint Grant Castle School for a while, he found a letter in the study.

Then he understood what was happening to him now.

This is why he thought he was very lucky.

Because the letter recorded that the so-called heir status requires competition.

Competition of comprehensive quality and competition of past "merits".

The former does not need to be mentioned, but the latter made Mellen suddenly understand what was going on with the doors marked with a large number of numbers before-

When he transformed into a mysterious knight and descended on the battlefield, he did rewrite the fate of a large group of people, but he didn't expect that it would have an effect here.

It's just that the number of people saved is large, but it's actually useless.

Because the judgment of the competition results depends on what the "master" of Saint Grant Castle thinks.

The master will decide who is the winner based on the performance of the competitors in the trial, not based on the quality of the competitors in all aspects.

But during the trial, Mellen didn't meet any "master", but there was a skeleton that was deader than dead.

So it can be said that as long as he meets the minimum standard, he can't escape the identity of the heir.

Because no one competes with him, and no one acts as the referee.

At the same time, the letter also mentioned that the suitcase and the map on the desk are actually in the hands of the owner.

The heir has the right to use them at ordinary times, but needs to obtain the consent of the owner...

Overall, Mellen feels that if the skeleton is still alive, he will definitely not choose himself.

Let's not talk about the specific performance in the trial, who would casually choose a stranger as his heir?

And entrust him with such a huge legacy?

However, it is not clear what happened. From the content of the letter, it seems that the last owner of Saint Grant Castle should know that he will die, so he left some explanations.

But he does not think that after his death, there will be no new owner of Saint Grant Castle.

The restart of this rule at the moment is probably related to the fact that people in the school do not understand certain situations in the trial land, or in other words, when they restarted the trial land, they accidentally opened the rules related to the heir.

"But this does not mean that they know nothing."

When he put away the letter, a thought flashed through Melen's mind, "If they find out that I have become the heir, it may not be a good thing."

After all, who would be willing to be labeled a "servant" on their forehead?

This is obvious.

However, what the result of this matter will be depends on what to do next.

After thinking for a while, Melen had a plan in his mind, so he began to look at the study where the map was located.

"Original Language Phonetic Table", "The Birth of the Elves in the Bottle", "The Source of the Power of the Gods", "Wizard Tower: Is it Imprisonment or Ladder?"...

The books in the bookcase do not look simple, but this is actually what Melen, the heir, needs to read next.

Because according to the explanation in the letter, the wizard path of the heir is different from that of ordinary wizards.

Or, there is something special.

The letter didn't mention what was special, but Melen seriously doubted whether this kind of thing from hundreds of years ago could be applied in the present.

After all, apart from anything else, there is no magic tide in the current era, and the world has long changed.

However, after generally flipping through the books here, he didn't find anything in the path of the heir that couldn't be done in modern times.

At least the apprentice-level practice is just one more step compared to normal wizards.     Melen didn't continue to read it. After a preliminary understanding, he left the study, walked back to the fork in the road, and came to the second door.

He raised his hand and pushed it, but it didn't open.

"Time really has an impact."

He thought with some regret.

The letter mentioned that behind this second door is a large space teleportation anchor point, which can be used to instantly reach many secret and non-secret places.

After obtaining the consent of the owner, the heir has the right to use this "teleportation room".

But now that the door cannot be pushed open, it proves that this teleportation room can no longer be used.

This may be because of the absence of the magic tide, or it may be other reasons.

Melen does not know much about this aspect, and is not sure whether it is in a dormant state or completely broken.

However, since he cannot enter the second door, he has no intention of staying here for the time being.

Turning back to the exit, after climbing up, Melen reappeared in the dark secret room where the skeleton was.

First, he put away the two seemingly useless but actually useful scepters and necklaces, and then he tried to put the suitcase into the magic pocket, but he couldn't do it at all.

So Melen had to carry this thing and came to a lamp stand in the corner of the secret room according to the instructions in the letter.

Raising his hand and twisting it, a door like a line quietly appeared on the surface of the wall in front of him. With a gentle push, Melen found that he had come to a seemingly ordinary bedroom.

There were no windows in the bedroom, but there was a light source from nowhere, which covered everything here with unusual clarity.

Looking around, the room is equipped with floor, fireplace and oil paintings, which is no different from ordinary people's bedrooms.

The most eye-catching thing is the photo on the bedside table.

In the photo, a middle-aged gentleman with a calm face and deep features is hugging a bald little girl dressed like a princess. At first glance, the two look like father and daughter.

However, after careful observation, Melen was surprised to find that the girl in the photo was wearing a wedding dress.

The posture of the two is like a married couple...

"She is only ten years old at most?"

There are indeed many child marriages in this era. Melen was surprised by this, but he didn't feel too surprised.

What he couldn't understand was why he appeared here after leaving the secret room?

Could it be that this was the bedroom of the skeleton and was now occupied by someone else?

That means that the place where he is now should be Fort Saint Grant?

There are no windows around, and he can't see the outside environment.

In order to confirm this, Melen pushed open the bedroom door and came to a reception room.

There are still no windows in the reception room, so he continued to move forward.

He thought there would be a normal corridor or lawn garden outside, but he didn't expect that when he came out, he saw a very bright office with all kinds of noises.

On the table in the office, there was an identity tag with a name on it.

Mellen was stunned.

Because the name he saw was Priestley Browning again.

The current principal of St. Grant's Castle!
