186 The Principal's Secret

Mellen considers herself lucky.

After looking at the large map that seemed to correspond to the various areas of Fort St. Grant's School, he found a letter in his study.

Then he understood what was going on with him.

That's why he thinks he's lucky.

Because it is recorded in this letter that the so-called heirship status is subject to competition.

The competition of comprehensive quality, as well as the competition of past "merits".

The former didn't need to be mentioned, and the latter made Melen suddenly understand what was going on with the doors marked with a large number of numbers before-

The time he transformed into a mysterious knight and came to the battlefield, he really changed the fate of a large group of people, but he didn't want it to have an effect here.

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

Because the judgment of the outcome of the competition depends on what the "owner" of Fort Saint Grant thinks.

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

But during the trial, Mellen didn't meet any "master", but a dead skeleton that could no longer die.

So it can be said that as long as he meets the minimum standards, this heir status cannot escape.

Because no one competed with him, and no one was the referee.

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

The heir usually has the right to use it, but it needs to be approved by the owner......

Overall, Mellen felt that if the skeleton was still alive, he would definitely not choose himself.

Not to mention the specific performance in the trial, who would casually choose a stranger to be their heir?

And entrusted him with a huge inheritance?

However, it is not clear what exactly happened, and from the contents of the letter, it seems that the last owner of Fort St. Grant must have known that he was going to die, so he left some explanations.

But he did not think that after his death, the school of Fort Saint Grant would not have a new owner.

The current reactivation of this rule may have a lot to do with the fact that the people in the current school do not know about some of the situations in the Trials Place, or in other words, when restarting the Trials Place, they inadvertently opened the rules related to the heirs.

"But that doesn't mean they don't know anything."

As she put the letter away, a thought crossed Merlen's mind, "If they find out that I'm the heir, it won't necessarily be a good thing." ”

After all, who would want to be suddenly labeled a "servant" on their head?

It's obvious.

But what will happen to this kind of thing depends on what happens next.

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

"Source Word Alphabet", "The Birth of a Genie in a Bottle", "The Power of the Gods", "The Wizard's Tower: Imprisonment or Staircase? 》……

The books in the bookcase don't seem to be simple, but that's what Merron, the heir, needs to read next.

Because according to the explanation on the letter, the path of the heir to the wizard is not the same as that of ordinary wizards.

Or rather, there is something special.

The letter did not mention anything special, but Mellen was seriously skeptical that such a thing from hundreds of years ago could be applied in the present day.

After all, if nothing else, there is no magic tide in the current era, and the face of the world has already changed.

However, after flipping through the books here, he didn't find anything in the path of heirs that modern times can't do.

At least apprentice-level cultivation is just one more step compared to normal wizards.

Meren didn't look any further, and after getting a rough idea, she left the study, and walked back to the fork in the road, to the second door.

"Shura Warrior God"

I raised my hand and pushed, but I didn't push it away.

"Time really has an impact."

He thought with some regret.

The letter mentions that this second door is followed by a large spatial teleportation anchor, which can be used to instantly reach many hidden and non-hidden places.

With the consent of the owner, the heirs are entitled to use this "teleportation room".

It's just that now that the door can't be opened, it proves that this teleportation room is no longer usable.

This could be due to the loss of the Tide, or it could be something else.

Mellen didn't know much about it, and wasn't sure if it was dormant or completely broken.

However, since he couldn't enter the second door, he had no intention of staying here for the time being.

Turning back to the exit, Meren reappeared in the dark chamber where the skeleton was.

After putting away the two seemingly useless scepters and necklaces, he tried to put the suitcase in his magic pocket, but he couldn't.

So Meren had no choice but to carry this thing, and according to the prompt in the letter, he came to a lampstand in the corner of the secret room.

Raising his hand and twisting it, a door with a line of lines quietly appeared on the surface of the wall in front of him. With a slight push, Mellen found herself in a seemingly ordinary bedroom.

There are no windows in the bedroom, but there is a light source from nowhere, which envelops everything here very clearly.

Glancing around, the floor fireplace and oil paintings are all available, no different from ordinary people's bedrooms.

The most striking thing is a photograph on the bedside table.

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

However, upon closer inspection, Mellen was stunned to find that the girl in this photo was dressed like a wedding dress.

The two of them are in this posture like a married couple......

"She's only ten years old at most, right?"

Mellen was surprised by the fact that there were many child marriages in this era, but she was not too surprised.

What he couldn't understand was why he was here after leaving that secret room.

Could it be that this was once the skeleton's bedroom, and now it has been invaded?

That is to say, the place where I am currently located should be Fort St. Grant?

There are no windows around, so you can't see the outside environment.

To make sure, Melen pushed open the bedroom door and entered a living room.

There were still no windows in the drawing-room, so he walked on.

I thought it would be a normal corridor or a lawn garden or something like that, but when he came out, what he saw was a very bright office with all kinds of noisy noises.

On the desk in the office, there is an identification tag with your name on it.

Mellen was stunned.

For the name he saw was Priestley Browning again.

The Contemporary Headmaster of Fort St. Grant!
