You call this the mastermind?

The little girl who is less than ten years old has long dark brown slightly curly hair and is wearing a thin red nightgown with suspenders. At the moment, she is lying on a couch without any image, with her legs crossed and she is looking at something leisurely. book.

Daggering, the white and tender little feet stretched and curled up playfully.

The arrival of someone didn't make her react at all, and she didn't even raise her eyes, which made Melen feel strange.

But when he walked in and took a look, he discovered that everything that seemed lifelike was actually a little illusory.

When he reached out and touched it, ripples appeared, as if he had touched the surface of the water.

"Is this a projection of a person?"

After sitting across from the girl, Meren thought for a while, took out the book of secret words, turned the page to the page of someone he had not spoken to since adding him as a friend, and sent a message.

So he immediately saw that the girl opposite raised her head from behind the book in her hand. After looking sideways, she took out a book of secret words from outside the screen where Melen could not see. She opened it and read it, with a flash of light on her face. A hint of disgust.

"If a creditor comes to your door, something bad will happen..."

The whispered words clearly reached Meren's ears.

What made him speechless was that after a moment of hesitation, the girl actually closed the book of secret words and pretended that it didn't exist.

"Anyway, he won't be able to take a vacation for half a year. When he came back to look for it, I said that I accidentally lost this book and I didn't even see what he sent."

After murmuring thoughtfully, a look of pride flashed across the girl's face, then she threw the book of secret words aside and continued to read the book at hand.

"Palace Secrets: The Death of Field III's Mistress".

The title of the book doesn't look like a good thing.

But after looking at it for a few times, Melen was more concerned about why the girl named Lily had a projection floating here.

"Teacher, or is that Holy Spirit targeting her? Why?"

I'm a little confused, but it probably has something to do with the girl's hidden life experience.

However, it is difficult for Mellen to determine whether this is the case.

After searching around, she still didn't see the teacher, and there was no message at all. Judging from this situation, there must be some emergency that made her forget to turn off the "TV" and left in a hurry.

Use the Thread of Destiny to peek and find a mosaic-like lady talking to another mosaic on crutches. It doesn't look dangerous.

So Mellen sat back on the sofa for a while, feeling very fresh as he looked at the little girl opposite who was being spied on without knowing it, while flipping the book of secret words to the old president of the Mixed Race Association, preparing to ask about the current situation in Graham City. status.

After the attack, the old man contacted Mellen, but he only briefly asked about his personal safety and said nothing else, let alone anything related to the heir.

It seemed a lot more lively than usual.

It seems that Mellen will no longer have any deep entanglements with the Mixed-blood Association in the future.

But now that Melen has sent a message, the other party's reply is still very fast.

"The association has been developing at a good pace recently. With all the resources and support from the Chelsea family, it is much richer than before."

The old president said: "How is your academic performance? Didn't you say you wanted to investigate the Holy Spirit before you left? Why didn't I hear that you were looking for my old friend?"

When leaving Graham City, Mellen did mention the investigation of the Holy Spirit to the old man, and then the man wrote him a letter of introduction, targeting a person who was said to have a deep study of the Holy Spirit.

However, things developed a bit unexpectedly later on. He had already become acquainted with the real Holy Spirit, so naturally there was no need to contact the humans who studied the Holy Spirit.

After briefly introducing his current situation, Mellen ended the conversation with the old president, and then thought for a moment. The main reason why she stayed in the Mixed-blood Association before was because she wanted to investigate some secrets in the association. But now, nothing has been discovered about the secrets, and the relationship has become more distant.

"But thinking about it, with the loyalty of the leader of the Scarlet Cross, the secrets of the Half-Blood Association will no longer be a secret."

Thinking of this, Meren couldn't help but look at the little girl opposite who was reading leisurely, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

It was mentioned in the precognitive dream that the arrival of the first wave of demons seems to be related to the royal family of the United Kingdom. So, does the Northern Empire, which is larger than the United Kingdom and not even the same magnitude, hide a greater secret?

Otherwise, the teacher wouldn't be eyeing this guy...

"This girl is key."

When Mrs. Chelsea returned to the secret cabin, she talked about this matter with Mellen.

"The clues to the Holy Spirit's identity are hidden among the royal family of the Northern Empire. If you want to find it, you can't do it without the help of the girl."

"What can she do?"

Mellen was surprised when he heard this.

"There's not much that can be done now, but if she can inherit the throne in the future, there will be a lot that can be done."

Saying this, the lady, who was still disguised as a black-haired girl, drove away Lily's image with a wave of her hand.

Then she came to the sofa corresponding to the image and sat face to face with Mellen.

"You don't know yet, but this little girl has royal blood. Her mother is the eldest princess of the Northern Empire, and her inheritance rights are very high."

As she spoke, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured two cups of tea for herself and Mellen in an elegant manner.

"So, before she inherits the throne, the true nature of the Holy Spirit cannot be found?"

Mellen raised his eyebrows and asked after taking the cup of strong tea that was handed to him.

"That's right."

The lady nodded slowly, "But I have already understood the plan to restart the demonic tide just now, and it is impossible to do it in a short time, so we don't need to worry for the time being."

It's weird if you're not in a hurry.

When Meron heard this, he felt wary in his heart.

The one in Mrs. Chelsea claimed that after the magic wave restarts, the two will begin to fuse, so if you want to avoid this situation, you must find the Holy Spirit before restarting.

However, according to the situation in the precognitive dream, when the demonic tide was about to restart, the girl named Lily had not yet entered the realm of the Northern Empire, and had only just begun to compete for the throne.

In other words, if you really have to wait for Lily to inherit the throne and then help find the Holy Spirit, the cucumbers will be cold.

Mellen wanted to remind the teacher, but the situation in the dream was difficult to explain.

But then I thought about it, the imperial royal family is not just a little girl like Lily. If the Holy Spirit's body is related to the throne, wouldn't there be an emperor sitting on the throne now?

Even if the emperor won't cooperate with them in their search for the Holy Spirit, wouldn't it be enough to kill him and let Lily enter in advance?

Anyway, it is said that the dictator is not a good person...

"So, what is the plan to restart the Demonic Tide?"

There was some calculation in his heart, but on the surface, Mellen asked about it.
