You call this the mastermind?

Merlen has not been in the mood to make friends recently, but he can't help but have people come to him.

This situation is a problem, but it is not without benefits.

At least it allows him, who is "unsociable", to learn about the students' dynamics and all kinds of useful or useless gossip at the first time.

And the so-called underwater exploration operation they mentioned, Mellen is very interested.

Because he thinks that if he leaves Saint Grant Castle, it is very likely to attract a group of troublemakers.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, he himself does not have much combat power, and he can be safe and sound and even obtain a transcendent status, all thanks to the school itself.

So whether you want to restore the Saint Grant Castle Academy to its past appearance, or have other purposes, and think that he is a potential enemy who is an obstacle, you will not miss this opportunity.

"This is also a way to lure the snake out of the hole, and see who wants to make trouble for me."

Because there were no resources, Mellen did not go to the last training class. He returned to the No. 2 base early and considered the ambush plan.

After thinking about it, he felt that there would be no accidents, so he temporarily suppressed the matter in his heart.

He turned his sight to a cup filled with black liquid.

Juliana was still angry with him, but she didn't know when she had prepared the magic potion for spiritual communication into another world.

So Melen began to prepare spiritual materials and prepared to find out the details of the skeleton.

In his busy life, he didn't know that the ambush plan he had thought of before actually had little room for use.

Because someone had already started to help him deal with these troubles intentionally or unintentionally behind the scenes.

The source was the missing Holy Spirit Jonah.

The so-called disappearance was actually imprisoned by a certain demon king, and this demon king was imprisoned in a corner of the school by Melen.

However, all this happened in a very secretive way, and others didn't know about it, and didn't even know the existence of the demon king.

The Holy Spirit, known as the gatekeeper, has several clones, and Jonah is just one of them. His disappearance is like a sudden vacancy in the original complete map. Everyone knows that he disappeared suddenly, but why he disappeared, no one can figure it out for a while.

So at first, the investigation direction of other clones was all focused on the person Jonah had contacted before he disappeared, that is, the imperial spy.

The imperial spy was disguised by the devil, but in fact this disguise was more like a possession. In order to "kill with one blow", the identity, origin and even soul of the spy were real.

It's just that after a certain moment, everything about him was replaced by the devil.

So following the spy line, Jonah's other clones, and even other holy spirits, all focused their attention on the Northern Empire.

Normally, Jonah's disappearance had nothing to do with the spy itself, so of course they couldn't find any clues.

But on the other hand, because the investigation was very intense, they dug up an unrelated but equally important piece of news.

That is, the purpose of this spy coming to Saint Grant Castle was not to make trouble, but to confirm whether the blackmailing experiment of the More family could succeed.

If successful, it is necessary to get the "spell" to summon the mysterious knight and then perform it in the imperial palace.

In other words, the real purpose of this spy from the north is to use the mysterious knight as a killer to kill the emperor.

The development of the matter here is somewhat unexpected.

Unfortunately, the purpose of the mission has been clarified, but there is no result for the time being as to who the mastermind behind the spy is.

This is like a smokescreen. If the dictatorial emperor knew that someone wanted to assassinate him, but he was not sure who it was, he would inevitably become suspicious and full of suspicion of his courtiers.

In short, this matter is very complicated. If it is exposed, the mysterious knight, who is considered a serious threat by the empire, will take a back seat and no longer be the most concerned one.

Because the imperial family has been assassinated one after another, it is easy to make people suspect that all this is not led by the mysterious knight, but he is just a knife in someone's hand.

What's more interesting is that this matter is related to the Felix family-

The spy and the northerners who carried out this mission all relied on the channels of the Felix family to arrive at Fort Saint Grant.

Gray is Kevin's father and the director of the Law Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom. If he conspired with the spies of the Northern Empire to plan to assassinate the emperor, this matter seems understandable.

If successful, Gray would have made outstanding contributions and received thousands of praises.

However, this matter just didn't work.     And the Holy Spirit Jonah also disappeared in this matter.

Gray Felix was doomed to be in trouble.

Not only did those who were looking for the Holy Spirit plot against him, but in the foreseeable future, the people of the Emperor of the Empire would inevitably start investigating him.

To make matters worse, his son Kevin told him about the illegitimate daughter last night.

So Gray was furious.

Other things were easy to deal with, but he couldn't tolerate this cuckolding thing -

The illegitimate daughter was not young, and considering the time, wasn't someone cheating on her during marriage?

Or was she already unclean before marriage?

The angry Gray felt extremely aggrieved.

What was especially aggrieved was that although he had a son with his ex-wife, he had never touched her!

He wanted to find out the truth, but unfortunately the contact information of his ex-wife Juliana was no longer in the Book of Secret Words, and there was no way to question the person involved.

For a time he was unable to reach Fort St. Grant.

So Gray contacted Mrs. Chelsea.

In his opinion, as one of the few good friends of his ex-wife, Mrs. Chelsea must know the inside story about the illegitimate daughter.

And her student and lover, Iger, was somehow engaged to that bastard illegitimate daughter (Kevin told him everything).

In this way, Mrs. Chelsea had every right to hate the illegitimate daughter and tell him the truth.

However, the response he received from his wife made him choke with anger.

"That girl has been killed by me."

She replied: "Juliana has broken up with me over this."

"Where is the body?"

Gray asked reluctantly.

It stands to reason that the bastard is dead and he should express his hatred, but the anger that just arose has no outlet. Instead, he becomes extremely depressed and even suspects that the other party is lying.

"The body disappeared."

The lady said: "It disappeared last night."

"last night?"

Gray was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly realized something.

His son Kevin should have known about the illegitimate daughter for a long time, but he didn't tell it sooner or later. Why did he tell it last night?

As Kevin's father, Gray certainly knew that in addition to this incident last night, his son was also in trouble.

However, in his perception, this trouble did not turn into a big trouble, so he didn't care about it originally.

But now...

After continuing to talk to Mrs. Chelsea for a while, and asking more questions about what happened to his son last night, Gray's originally depressed mood gradually turned into a bit of uncertainty.

Because he has noticed that there seems to be another layer of mystery hidden in all this.

So he decided to launch a detailed investigation into this.

As a result, some things that would have affected Melen were once again borne by the Felix family...

The entangled troubles are constantly being reduced, and there seems to be a hand behind the scenes that is playing a role one after another.

The person involved, Mellen, was not aware of this.

At this moment, he was lying in the sarcophagus and began to meditate on the skeleton.
