84 Rising clouds
The world in a storybook always seems to be in a sunny state.
As soon as Mellen arrived, he felt a cool breeze blowing from outside the hunter's hut.
As far as the eye can see, the cottage window is full of greenery, and the forest is dense and deep, and there is no border in sight.
At the same time, the rustle of a broom scraping against the wooden floor was faintly heard with the sound of leaves being blown by the wind outside.
Turning his head to follow the voice, a figure that made Melen feel wrong appeared in front of him.
It was a handsome young woman with red hair wrapped in a turban, and now she was very skillful in cleaning with a broom.
As he swept, he had a wistful smile on his face.
She was apparently so focused on doing this that she didn't even notice Merlen's presence.
So when Melen coughed dryly, the young woman, who didn't know what she was thinking, shivered instantly, and the broom in her hand almost fell to the ground without holding it steadily.
"Uncle, what are you doing?"
When she saw who was coming, the young woman glared at him with disgust, and then she ignored Merlen and continued to sweep the floor on her own.
The hunter's hut was small in size, with a dining table and a fireplace in the wall, and a small bedroom with two fur sleeping bags and a hardbed bed.
However, young women spend a long time cleaning up.
It's not that there's anything complicated about this kind of work, it's that she cleans it very carefully.
And when she had finished cleaning, she began to take the utensils from the closet to a stream outside the hut and wash them up.
While washing, I was still collecting wild vegetables around the stream, with a sweet smile on my face.
Watching her series of actions, Melen was quite speechless.
That's what he thinks is anomalous.
A person who is about to enter a wizarding school, comes from a top family, and is like a princess, and is actually happy with the trivial things of life that ordinary women are impatient with.
Mellen didn't understand that.
A while ago, he didn't enter here because he was intruded by the dream of black life and the memory of inheritance.
And when he came in, he found that this seemingly young woman, but in fact the existence of a girl, had become like this.
At first, she was quite rusty about doing these things.
But now, she is skilled like a housewife who has been married for many years.
However, in doing these things, did she forget who she really was?
"Every time everyone leaves, everything here is refreshed...... What the hell was she pondering with such a vain effort? ”
Melun, who felt that he was the elder of the other party, was a little worried about whether this child would have something wrong with his brain.
In other words, he has long suspected that this "niece" with a strange personality is not quite normal.
And now, this "disease" has inexplicably worsened......
However, the anomaly doesn't seem to be affected by external forces, so Meren doesn't think much about it.
After the other party finished brushing the dishes, he still wanted to raise the bonfire in the fireplace in this "big summer".
He even instructed the other party on how to take materials from the forest and then drill wood for fire.
And how to store wood, where to store it is more suitable for life tips.
The young woman was amazed at this, but she was obviously not very interested in how Meren knew such worldly techniques.
In other words, although the two are already familiar, this familiarity is like getting along with their elders normally.
She will be grateful for the teachings of her elders, but she will not have any interest in them as a person.
Faintly, she even has a sense of alienation from Melen, and she doesn't know why.
After politely thanking Melun, the young woman began to practise drilling wood for fire with great interest, as if it were something worthy of all her energy.
"Maybe she's playing this here like a game?"
After thinking about it, Mellen really couldn't figure out why the kid was interested in this, so she had to give up.
Leaving them to do what didn't seem to him make sense, Meren left the vicinity of the hunter's hut and headed deeper into the forest.
……
In Mellen's opinion, the wizard named Robin Rifali was obviously a very powerful fellow.
Not only does the world in this book "build" to life, but it is no different from the real world.
In this world, there is even some life, and there is an ecosystem composed of life -
The herds-eating hares in the forest, the chirping sparrows in the canopy, the wriggling earthworms in the dirt, and the occasional wolf howl from the depths of the forest......
If he didn't know the details of this place, Melen wouldn't have been able to tell if this place was illusory or reality.
But not all the details are so true.
At least when Meren walked to a certain area in the forest, he suddenly seemed to be stopped by an invisible wall, and he couldn't go any further!
Inside the walls and outside the walls are clearly two worlds.
Looking at the dark clouds of the sky outside the wall, and the ghostly dim light that set the forest off, Mellen sighed in the bright sun.
Opposite is the first level of the storybook, and if you want to officially enter, you need at least two family members together.
But whether it is the "niece" who behaves strangely or the "cousin" who has never appeared, it is obviously impossible to go with him to explore this place full of connotation.
"There is a long way to go......"
After dreaming about the situation of taking his "cousin" through the level alone, Mellen turned his feet and went in another direction.
In addition to the normal plants, there are actually some magical herbs in this forest.
With nothing to do, Merron, who has been inherited by the Potions Professor, plans to use these low-level herbs to brew some potions to pass his "sleep time".
By the way, you can also digest some memories related to Potions.
But this is not something that can be done anytime soon.
Lacking the necessary tools, and in the current rudimentary environment, Merron would need to take very tedious steps to make a potion.
So, after being busy for most of the night, he just collected the materials he needed.
Early the next morning, Mellen woke up from her home.
Then, before he could go to breakfast, the servant brought a letter signed by the cousin whom he had met the previous night.
"She's gone?"
It was a letter delivery rather than a visit, which was obviously a sign of something, and Mellen was moved by it.
When I opened the letter, sure enough, after some politeness, it mentioned a farewell word.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
It was probably she who claimed to have learned from relatives about her mother, whom she had never met, so she was in a hurry to confirm.
I didn't have a chance to come and say goodbye in person, I'm sorry or something like that.
"Weird...... Is she really just an ordinary person? ”
If the other party continues to stay here, or even continue to do some kind of seduction behavior, then Meren will of course be even more suspicious of this guy's bad intentions.
But now, in just one day, this one suddenly left......
Mellen apparently didn't know that it was actually an emergency measure because someone learned that he had become a wizard and would even go to school at Fort Grant soon-
The cousin's appearance is very similar to her real appearance, which is actually a foreshadowing in advance to consider the possibility of revealing her true identity to Melen in the future.
However, this time and that time.
Now, if you get acquainted with Mellen, when Melen goes to school, she finds that the vice president of a certain academy who manages the discipline of their group of students is actually his cousin...... That's embarrassing.
So, go to your mother, who is actually a wizard and even the vice president of a top wizarding school.
So the two look similar, which is a very reasonable thing.
As for whether to contact Melen as a cousin or with her real identity, she hasn't really thought about it yet.
She decided to wait until the time came.
Anyway, she didn't think Meren would get out of her palm......
The person in question, Melun, didn't know this, and thought that the trouble was gone, and he was quite happy.
It's just that when Meren learns a piece of news from the Book of Secret Words, he can't be a little happy.
The news itself was not a big deal, it was just that the short wizard who had dueled him a while ago had offered to invite Meren to a book club.
Or rather, it wasn't that he invited Mellen, but that one of his "good friends" wanted to invite Mellen to participate.
However, this name is a little familiar to Mellen......
"Winnie Kate?"
He frowned and asked, "Are you sure that is your friend's name?" ”
"Of course."
The strange rhetorical question on the other side was, "Why, you know her too?" ”
Mellen didn't respond, but fell into deep thought.
Winnie Kate.
Remember correctly, the name corresponds to a chubby girl.
At the beginning, Melen awakened the golden finger at the lady's banquet and "pimped" the other party.
Subject is a young magician.
Now that she knew that the fat girl was actually a wizard, Meren wasn't too surprised.
After all, Mrs. Chelsea is also a wizard, and she is still a very powerful wizard.
It is actually normal for a witch to participate in the banquet she held, but it is not normal for a group of ordinary people to participate.
And to say that Winnie wants to invite Mellen to some book club doesn't seem to be a big deal.
After all, during this time, there are many wizards who want to invite Melen to participate in various social occasions.
It's just that......
"My fate should have fallen at that banquet."
Mellen secretly pondered, "I did two things during that banquet, suggesting that the teacher should not be careless and pimp the magician......"
"Right now, it seems that the teacher's side can't have anything to do with my death, so maybe it was caused by pimping?"
This seems unlikely, because Mellen didn't think of any logic in it.
However, when he uneasily used psychic deduction to "snoop" on this Winnie Kate, a new anomaly appeared.
He can't use psychic to find out the details of the other party!
It's like he can't use psychic to find out the relevant information of official wizards and above.
However, if memory serves, that Winnie Kate is about his age.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to go beyond the ranks of apprentices.
"Maybe she's just soft-faced?"
Too little is known about her, so this possibility is not ruled out.
Meren then began to channelize again, the magician she had been.
The result made him stunned on the spot for a moment.
The young magician is dead.
