Whether Mellen runs away depends on the mixed-race association's attitude on this matter.

If they really wanted to force him to attend that banquet, then of course he couldn't stay and suffer this injustice.

Anyway, the life-saving spell has basically been obtained. Next, we just need to collect some information and we can officially start to implement the plan.

It actually doesn’t matter if the plan fails, because when Mellen proposed this plan, he had already considered whether it would fail——

Having a common "secret" that is not known to a third party is a way to quickly draw a relationship between two strangers.

At the same time, this matter also involves the principle behind the phrase "we went to the same window together...".

Therefore, it seemed that he had been helping Arthur with plans for nearly a whole day today, but his real purpose was to use this matter to quickly get closer to him.

But now, he can confidently say that even if his stepfather's plan fails, or the plan takes longer than the time limit for death, he will temporarily borrow a water-storing bead from Arthur, and even give him the family heirloom necklace.

Borrowing it is not a difficult thing.

After all, he doesn't need to use that kind of thing all the time. It's just a temporary loan and it doesn't mean he won't return it.

As long as there is a certain level of friendship and trust, there should be no problem.

Because of this, Mellen can now say that he has nothing to worry about.

In this state, there was nothing in the Mixed-blood Association to check and balance him, so why should he have wronged himself for this association?

If he leaves the association, apart from not being able to continue receiving wizard education here, what impact will it have?

The worst case scenario is to find another wizard organization to join.

With this idea in mind, Meren did not go to the suburbs to watch the excitement as he and the little girl claimed, but randomly found a hotel in the dock area and stayed there.

There are a lot of things to be busy with next.

First of all, he hadn't had time to look at the black box that Butler Fox had given him in the morning. He needed to see what was inside.

Secondly, he has learned from Arthur that the most important thing about water storage magic is actually the water storage medium, which is water storage beads or necklaces.

The accompanying magic itself is not the point.

So Melen doesn't have to save lives to add points to it.

In other words, you only need to leave a little destiny to quickly learn that magic, and the rest can be used at will.

Once again, the execution of his stepfather's plan requires him to channel.

After all, now they know basically nothing except that there is such a "divorced rich woman".

How to approach her and how to quickly build a relationship after approaching her requires a lot of intelligence support to tailor specific ideas.

Otherwise it's just empty talk.

This matter is actually the most troublesome, because Melen cannot channel the "rich woman" herself. He is not of a sufficient level, so he can only "play around with the possible servants" around the rich woman.

So Mellen was prepared to put this matter to the end.

…

In the single room of the hotel, which was not exquisite but still neat, Mellen sat on a feather bed in the room and first opened the black wooden box delivered by Butler Fox in the morning.

Then, he saw a yellowed parchment book and a letter covered in the book.

Opening the letter and reading it, Mellen found that the letter was written by the old butler Fox, and he was startled by the content.

"My lady wants to accept me as an apprentice because she foresees that major changes may occur in the mixed-race association in the future... To put it nicely, isn't this training spies?"

Mellen didn't know that he was actually the first and most likely the only apprentice Mrs. Chelsea decided to take on.

He also didn't understand at all that the relationship between apprentice and teacher in the wizarding world meant a very serious inheritance relationship - if you recognized someone as your apprentice, you would have to take care of him for a lifetime.

So when I saw this letter now, Mellen didn't think it was a big deal.

At most, it's similar to the relationship between a graduate student and his supervisor in his previous life. What else could it be?

But even though he didn't feel anything special, Mellen still thought about it carefully.

His current thoughts have actually changed somewhat compared to his initial thoughts.

At least, because he "understood" more about destiny, he was no longer afraid of having in-depth contact with the lady.

Especially this so-called apprenticeship relationship.

In Mellen's view, this apprentice sounds nice, but in fact he is just a spy, and spies naturally cannot disclose their relationship with their "employer".

Therefore, if the employer itself has any trouble, it will generally not affect the spies.

But on the contrary, when encountering problems, spies can turn to their employers...

In a world with strict hierarchies, what method can be used to quickly transcend classes?

There is no doubt that if you hug the rich woman’s thigh, please take her away!

"It's just that if I really want to agree to it, I have to go back to the Mixed-blood Association, um..."

Thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in his mind, Mellen did not look at the parchment in the black box that needed to be read once before it would take effect.

Instead, he took out a booklet he carried with him and used it to check his property panel.

At this point, the information in the properties panel is no different than before.

The corresponding fate numbers are 6 and 8.

The former is gray and the latter is green, which belongs to Mellen's current main savings.

"It's not safe to keep one, so let's keep three..."

Thinking like this, Mellen touched the green destiny on the page with his finger.

As soon as his mind moved, a touch of green smoke appeared at his fingertips, and then quickly wrapped around his fingers and blended into it.

A large number of strange memories emerged in Mellen's mind.

[You have obtained Herbalism (Introduction)]

…

Entry level herbalism?

Mellen looked startled.

Although this introductory herbal medicine requires a lot of memory and contains a lot of knowledge, it must be very troublesome to learn.

But he never thought about what kind of work he would do in the future, collecting or brewing herbs.

However, it doesn’t matter, knowing more about herbal medicine is never a disadvantage.

So with a thought, Mellen chose to draw again.

[You have obtained basic wand making (proficiency)]

…

"Why is it an auxiliary ability again?"

Mellen couldn't help but frown as he adjusted to the new influx of knowledge in his mind.

"There are huge variables in doing this..."

An idea suddenly occurred to him.

However, this idea seems a bit risky...

He hesitated, but think about it, if he continues to have this kind of rubbish ability, wouldn't his life be wasted?

And giving it a try can be regarded as an exploration of the golden finger. If it can work...

Thinking like this, Mellen had already made up his mind, so he picked up a pen and wrote a sentence on the page——

"My luck will increase greatly in the next minute!"

No special phenomenon was found, but one of the gray numbers on the panel instantly disappeared.

Mellen was overjoyed to see this.

He thought that changing his luck would cost a lot of money, but to his surprise, it only cost the lowest level of destiny!

If he had known earlier, why would he hesitate?

After taking a deep breath, Mellen clicked his finger on the green destiny three times in succession!

[You have obtained the basic wizard dueling method (mastery)]

…

[You have obtained the Lightning Technique (Mastery)]

…

[You have obtained Flashpoint Swordsmanship (Mastery)]

…

This time it wasn't just the memories that came flooding in, Mellen felt some changes in his third hand.

At the same time, some strange changes seemed to have occurred inside his body, the reason for which was unclear.
To be continued...
