In contrast to the undercurrent of the Ernest family, Chelsea Manor can be described as quiet and peaceful, with a cozy atmosphere.

At this time, the sky was very dark, and the white moon hung high among the stars, and the large moonlight that swayed down shrouded the lawn of the manor.

"Guess who's going to be that bad guy tonight?"

A voice sounded from the glass window at the end of the lawn, slightly sharp, and it sounded like a caustic.

However, what she said at the moment was not serious at all, but full of schadenfreude.

"The last time that poor guy found out he was a man, he was stupefied, hahaha."

The owner of the voice was a middle-aged woman who looked very aggressive, sitting in the living room near the lawn.

Dressed in a gray lady's formal suit, her hair cut short does not conform to the "fashion trend" of this era at all, but inexplicably gives people a fierce temperament.

She was none other than Jim's mother, Susan Corrien Ernest.

Mrs. Chelsea sat across from Susan at this time, her expression calm, but the response in her mouth was full of gossip:

"Don't you really care about this kind of thing at all?"

"I'm divorced from him, what do I care about?"

"I don't believe that the little girl who was full of him back then has now lost her way."

"You don't understand this, this person, after a long time, no matter how much you like it, you will get tired of it, not to mention that he still has that disgusting habit - by the way."

The sturdy woman suddenly changed her words and asked, "How are those madmen of the Shinrikyo cult doing now?" ”

"I used the deductive psychic method to inquire in the morning, and the purpose of their gathering this time seems to be to set up a ritual that will allow them to have a conversation with the so-called child of fate, and the more people gathered, the greater the probability of success."

"Psychic?"

Susan was shocked when she heard this, "Such a complicated spiritism, you actually gathered all the materials in a short period of time?" ”

She didn't ask about the Destiny Child, because apart from the madmen of the Shinrikyo cult, there was basically no one in the wizarding world who believed in that thing, and they didn't bother to ask.

"It's nothing, as long as you can afford to spend it, you can find anything quickly."

"But how much does that cost?"

"No matter how much money you have, you can't always run around like a headless fly."

Saying this, a flash of confusion flashed between Mrs. Chelsea's eyebrows, "But the result is, they didn't mean to trouble me, this ......"

"What do you think?"

"It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much."

Madame shook her head.

She had previously judged that her assassination might be involved in the gathering of the Shinrikyo group, and there must be some deeper secret behind it.

Although the clues on the surface point to the half-race association in Graham City, she believes that what happened within that organization should not be the focus of the whole thing.

So although she installed a junior apprentice in the association, most of her energy was still focused on guarding against the group of madmen.

Or to beware of something that the madmen are about to do.

However, if those lunatics didn't want to mess with her, what they did had nothing to do with her assassination.

Then her previous judgment may have completely mispicked the key point......

"Maybe the person behind the scenes chose this time to do it just to get me to focus on the Shinrikyo group, so that I don't have time to focus on something more important?"

The thought flashed through him, and Mrs. Chelsea was silent.

If that's the case, she's clearly in the driver's seat now.

But what could be more important?

Could it really be the one that had to do with the Half-Blood Society?

What big things can a group of half-breeds provoke......

While thinking about it, the Book of Secret Words suddenly flickered, and Madame opened it to look at it, and her face couldn't help but change.

"What's wrong?"

Susan, who was sitting across from her, was a little surprised to see this.

The personality of this friend in front of him has always been indifferent, and even if he faced a life-and-death situation in the past, he basically didn't care about it.

Why now, suddenly changed your face?

Mrs. Chelsea did not speak, but spread out her book of secret words for the other party.

"When did you take in a primary apprentice?"

Susan was a little surprised to see this.

I didn't think there was anything unusual about the words from the other side-

In fact, the other side just recounted what happened at the banquet truthfully.

When a normal person sees it, at most they will think that the two juniors are in conflict, and the junior apprentice is a little short-tempered, saying that if he lifts the table, he will lift the table, and he doesn't pay attention to the rules at all.

However, Mrs. Chelsea is not a normal person.

In other words, with her understanding of Mellen, she can see at a glance that there must be a danger behind this matter.

At this moment, Meren is trying her best to delay time, and expects her to notice the strange situation there.

Otherwise, his behavior would not have been so abnormal at all.

Mrs. Chelsea looked serious because of this, "Is Ernest Manor well guarded?" ”

didn't say that something had happened, but it could already make Susan instantly realize the seriousness of the situation.

"The wizard guards are basically in the inner core, and there are at most three squads of forbidden knights patrolling the periphery."

She replied with a solemn expression, "My husband may or may not notice the abnormality, you can't have hope for him. ”

Mrs. Chelsea's eyes drooped when she heard this, and after a moment, she asked, "Is there any way I can sneak in?" ”

"Infiltration? There's no need for that, my manor and- you mean, there's a group of people who have set up enchantments in my manor!? ”

Susan suddenly changed color, and instantly realized that since there were outsiders who could arrange the enchantment, it showed that the time for them to infiltrate the manor would not be very short, and it would not be possible to do it without the inner ghosts!

Well...... I've got a teleportation inscription from the Runaway Rune Research Institute's latest output on my son—"

Her voice became a little panicked.

"Give it to me."

Without waiting for her to finish, Madame reached out directly to ask for it.

So Susan didn't hesitate at all, and took off a ring from the middle finger of her left hand and put it in the palm of her friend's hand.

In the next moment, the blonde figure in an elegant black dress twisted and disappeared directly in place.

……

Mrs. Chelsea was actually quick to get the news.

So by the time she showed up in the banquet hall at Ernest Manor, Merlen hadn't finished telling the story of how she played Kevin with a very ordinary deck of playing cards.

But although the story is not over yet, the banquet hall at this moment seems to have become a volcano in the making, which may erupt at any time-

Because in his previous words, Melen not only belittled the party Kevin, and by the way, but also ridiculed the entire pure-blood as worthless.

If he simply belittles someone, then even if he is not used to it, the onlookers can "understand".

In other words, for the sake of Mellen's talent, he doesn't care.

However, no one can stand this kind of indiscriminate behavior of firing a map cannon.

"Even if Kevin bothered you first, it's too much for you to belittle him like this now!"

Someone began to stand up and accuse Melen in a tone of indignation.

"And why would he trouble you and not others?"

"yes, you can't just look at you as unpleasant, right?"

"Isn't there a problem with you?"

"I'm afraid it's not that simple......

"Well said!"

In the crowd in the hall, facing these guys who took the lead in standing up, Meren said loudly: "Since you all asked about this, then I might as well say it now-"

He seemed to be firing the map cannon again, and Kevin upstairs, as well as some of the self-respecting pure-bloods, were already dripping with gloomy faces.

But the "waiter" in the dark was full of anticipation for this, and his expression was even a little excited.

Because he found that this boy was very eloquent.

The "story" told is not only clear and dramatic, but also unheard of in the ability to scold people without dirty words!

This can already be said to be an alternative talent, and even gave him the idea of contacting the other party afterwards, absorbing it into the organization, and letting him participate in public opinion propaganda......

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

Melun's next words made the waiter's face instantly become very ugly.

"—I'm going to say that everything I just said is false!"

Under the stunned gaze of the people, Mellen said loudly, "Kevin is not the kind of stupid idiot with a stupid brain! On the contrary, he is very smart! ”

"It was he who discovered that a group of people who were secretly stirring up the relationship between pure-bloods and half-bloods were active in the city, so he arranged this banquet in the name of making trouble for me."

"The purpose is to attract that group of people!"

"It was also his invitation that I would be here to cooperate with his plan!"

"All I do now is to stand up and attract the attention of those enemies."

"Kevin, he's secretly pinpointing their location!!"

These words are really a bit informative, and they are diametrically opposed to what he said before, which makes everyone confused.

Their eyes widened and they stared at Mellen who was talking loudly, including Kevin and Jim upstairs, and the sneer on their faces was replaced by a dazed and stunned sneer before it faded.

The person concerned, Melun, will not be stuck because of his words, and after the brief revelation, he finally yelled.

"And now, our venerable Kevin, has determined where those enemies are hiding!"

As he spoke, the wand that Melen had never put down in his hand instantly pointed at a certain figure in the crowd, as if he was about to burst out!

But the next moment, he was instantly hit by a huge force, and even his body was in the air, as if he had been hit by a car, and he fell out of the crowd with a bang!

This is actually Meren taking his wand upside down and casting a bounce charm on himself.

It's just that his "casting speed" is too fast, and others don't see it clearly at all, and they think that this person has been attacked just now.

So although he was caught off guard by this matter, there was an immediate uproar in the banquet hall.

People are scrambling to stay away from the "exposed" who was pointed at by Melen before - the other party is full of confusion at the moment, and he can't figure out how Melen flew out even though he didn't have time to do it?

But then he had no time to think about such trifles.

Because before he could make up his mind whether to attack or flee the scene, a giant python covered in pitch-black scales instantly broke out of the ground and swallowed him into the belly from the bottom to the top!

At the same time, one after another pythons in the entire hall burst through the surface of the tiles, raising a large amount of dirt and staring at the suspicious figures.

Unable to figure out what was going on, the young wizards hurried to avoid the terrifying foreign objects, and the screams continued to sound one after another, deafening, and the hall became more and more chaotic.
