Please be my partner.

Then, they returned to the topic at hand, and Jon asked, "So, what about the mirror puppet?"

Osama said, "I propose to use Extraordinary Item A-019 [Pot of Desire] and Extraordinary Item A-013 [Gallery of Imaginary Things]."

Jon asked, "What if all our speculations above are wrong?"

Osama said, "If our speculation is wrong, we will have to report it to them. In short, we must not let this matter continue for a fourth day!"

"agree!"

"agree!"

night.

Mellen returned to his lounge early, without even doing his daily wash.

Well, according to the established rules, as long as you lie down on the bed and cover yourself with a quilt, demons and monsters will not be able to attack you!

At this time, Melen was holding a thick book and reading it.

The name of this book is...The Complete Collection of Fairy Tales of the Kingdom of Crow.

It collected many folk tales that were circulated throughout the Kingdom of Crow. After he saw it in the college library in the afternoon, he was inexplicably compelled to borrow it.

Spike lay comfortably in his doghouse, smacking his lips and savoring the meat and bones he had just eaten.

Seeing that her master was concentrating on reading, Xiao Honglian originally didn't intend to disturb him. However, after seeing her master's legs shaking, she couldn't help it anymore and pounced on him. She grabbed her master's legs with her little paws and swayed with them, having a lot of fun.

Although the book in his hand was quite large, it actually did not contain much content. It was even drier than the novels and picture books he had read before. Melen had to suppress his boredom to barely finish it.

Putting the big book on the table, Melen no longer paid attention to anything else and soon fell asleep.

In a corridor that was both real and unreal, a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, wearing a lolita princess dress, was walking with a cold expression.

There are picture frames on both sides of the corridor, and all of these picture frames contain the image of the same puppet. Although their postures are different, the expressions on their faces are the same, that is... horror!

Being able to express fear on a puppet's face is extremely rare.

The little girl quickly reached the end of the corridor, and with her last step, she returned to the real world.

The three deputy directors of the Special Affairs Bureau, Osama, Jon and Luer, have been waiting here for a long time. In addition, there are more people standing or sitting in the shadows nearby.

Osama nodded and smiled, "Thank you, Ms. E!"

The girl nodded expressionlessly, and her body began to grow rapidly and strangely.

Soon, a woman full of mature charm appeared in front of them, and the lolita princess dress on her body naturally turned into a complicated long dress with fireworks.

Just by looking at the fullness of her breasts, one can understand that this Ms. E is not called that for nothing!

Several people looked at the mirror puppet that had fallen into the jar. They really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

Next, we just have to wait for tomorrow's feedback to see if more children die as a result, and then we will know how effective their actions are.

In a dark room in Roland City, only the ritual array carved on the ground emitted a little light.

In the center of the ritual formation, a woman was held up in mid-air by an invisible force.

If Melen were here, he would recognize at a glance that this was Aito, with whom he had done business during the Rat Tide.

His father Lennon stood outside the ritual circle, watching nervously.

At a certain moment, the invisible force surrounding Aito suddenly dissipated, and she fell to the ground after losing her support.

Lennon showed a look of surprise. He quickly stepped forward to check on his daughter. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he quickly stood up and said respectfully to the shadows, "Thank you for your help, Lord An."

A low, hoarse voice came from the shadows, carrying a hint of decay and antiquity: "Remember our agreement."

Lennon responded respectfully, "Yes, sir! I will immediately notify my men to collect extraordinary life for you."

After a while, there was no response, so he called out twice more tentatively before confirming that 'Master An' had left.

Lennon also didn't know the true identity of this "Mr. Dark". His main purpose for coming to Roland City this time was to lift the curse on his daughter.

Ever since his daughter was struck by that inexplicable curse, her body began to show signs of woodenness, and he had to pay a huge price to temporarily suppress it.

After he arrived in Roland City, before he took any action, this 'An Lord' took the initiative to come to his door and told him clearly about his daughter's situation and some of his secrets.

After careful consideration, he agreed to the other party's conditions in exchange for the other party's help in saving his daughter.

At present, although there have been some minor setbacks, as long as his daughter is fine, everything else is secondary!

Chapter 85 [Blue Ring]

"So, the matter is resolved?!"

Melen stared at Salim in front of him with wide eyes, feeling a little unreal.

After all, yesterday the latter described the incident as if the Kingdom of Kro was about to be destroyed, and then today he happily told him that the incident had been perfectly resolved.

This made Melen feel somewhat disconnected.

Facing Mellen's doubts, Salim smiled and said, "You find it strange? That's because you don't know how powerful the Special Affairs Bureau dispatched yesterday. Almost all of the mysterious Alphabet Corps were present, and every member of them is a third-level expert."

"In addition, the Special Affairs Bureau also mobilized two A-level supernatural items with high numbers. Even the pillars of the kingdom might not be able to contend with this kind of power."

"Of course, it is said that the mirror puppet was easily dealt with last night. It didn't take much effort, so many preparations were not used."

"It was easily resolved?" Mellen asked doubtfully. "Didn't the Fortune Teller predict that this incident would be quite serious? Why does it feel like there's more noise than action?"

Salim laughed and said, "This seems to be a characteristic of the Fortune Teller. Their predictions are often unreliable. We at the Special Affairs Bureau are used to it."

"However, it's also possible that we dealt with it too quickly and didn't allow this mirror puppet to grow. Perhaps it needs to kill people every day to continuously gain strength, and we captured it the second time it appeared."

"These can only be confirmed after the Fortune Teller wakes up."

"Huh?" Melen asked, "Is the Fortuneteller still not awake?"

Salim nodded and said, "He is said to be still in a coma, the cause is unknown."

Melen shook his head and stopped paying attention to the Fortune Teller's affairs. After all, it had nothing to do with him. He asked with interest, "Which two extraordinary items were used to capture the Mirror Puppet?"

Salim shrugged and said, "I don't know. The A-level supernatural items in the Special Affairs Bureau are all confidential. Although the team leader has the authority to know, my team is currently a temporary organization. It will take at least three years before they can receive official treatment."

"Oh! 'Temporary worker', I see!" Mellen nodded in agreement.

Ignoring Salim's speechless expression, Melen continued, "So, there's no one behind this incident, and it's all this mirror puppet's doing?"

"Not necessarily." Salim hesitated for a moment, then said, "According to the Director, this seems to involve a new forbidden object called 'Fairy Tale Town' that has appeared in the Southern Wilds. The Special Affairs Bureau is already preparing to investigate it."

Mellen nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any further questions.

Salim smiled and said, "Based on the key intelligence we provided this time, the director specially commended us, especially you, who deserves the most credit."

"This is also the reason why I came to see you this time. Come with me, the director wants to see you."

"You want to see me?" Mellen asked doubtfully, "Wasn't it Courtney who collected the intelligence? How come I was the one who got the credit?"

Salim said, "It was indeed the mirror puppet he mentioned, but we didn't take it seriously at the time. It was your suggestion that led us to dig deeper into the information and finally gain some insights."

"This is all your credit, I will report it truthfully."

Melen didn't say anything more. He knew that this was Salim's character. Even if it wasn't him, but just a random stranger, the latter would not take any credit.

Even if it only requires him to use a little bit of rhetoric, everyone can get more benefits, and he can even get the lion's share.

This unwillingness to be one of the dusty people is also one of the important reasons why Salim was ostracized in Vero City.

The two men arrived at the Special Affairs Bureau and went straight to Osama's office.

As Melen thought, there was not only Osama in the office, but there were two other people. These two people had extraordinary auras and it was obvious at first glance that they were not Osama's subordinates, but big men on equal terms with him.

Osama nodded to Salim, who understood, gave Meren a look, and turned and left.

Osama smiled and said, "Mr. Melen, I am very impressed with you. Not only this time, but you have performed very well in many previous missions."

Melen said modestly: "You are too kind. This is what I should do."

Osama nodded and said, "Your discovery has been a great help to us this time. It not only protects the image of the Special Affairs Bureau, but also prevents further losses. As the person who made the greatest contribution, you should be adequately rewarded. This is also the consistent purpose of our Special Affairs Bureau."

Seeing Meren's anticipation, Usama smiled and said, "You can tell me your request. As long as it is within a reasonable range, I will try my best to meet it."

As soon as these words came out, Melen was stunned.

Actually, he has a lot of needs now, but they are so broad that he can't think of what he needs most at the moment.

However, these three people in front of him are all big guys, time is precious, and it is impossible to give him too much time to think.

Suddenly, Melen looked at the cage containing Little Red Lotus in his hand. Because of the influence of the curse [Enemy of the World], the little guy had to stay in the cage for a long time and had very little time to move around outside.

And, what’s more important is that after these two months of growth, the small cage, which was originally quite spacious, has become extremely crowded.

Thinking of this, Melen already knew what he needed most now.

He said, "Lord Usama, I need a beast-controlling bracelet or something like that to store items for controlling beasts."

As a space-type item, the Beast Taming Bracelet can play a great role in isolation, similar to the cage in the hand, and even better. In this way, when Mellen takes Xiao Honglian with him every day, he doesn't have to carry a cage all the time.

Osama felt relieved. Meren did not ask for too much, which made him appreciate him more.

Originally, he didn't want to summon Mellen at this time, and he didn't want to talk about the topic of rewards. However, after hearing about Mellen, Jon and Luer became interested in the latter and kept talking about rewarding him well.

For the sake of face, he certainly couldn't let others reward his subordinates.

Fortunately, Mellen was sensible and did not make excessive demands, otherwise he would have been somewhat embarrassed today.

Just as Usama was about to agree, Luer suddenly said, "I remember that the Third Bureau has a special exquisite beast-taming bracelet that should meet your needs."

Osama's words got stuck in his throat and he almost lost his composure.

He looked at Luer expressionlessly, feeling that the other party definitely did it on purpose.

You know, an ordinary standard beast-taming bracelet is worth at most 3000 gold coins, but a fine beast-taming bracelet with special effects is often worth more than ten times the former, not to mention the one collected in the three games.

Of course, Osama could take out the exquisite beast-taming bracelet as a reward from the Third Bureau, but this would also cost him a certain price. It would be far less easy than getting an ordinary beast-taming bracelet as a reward and just having it reimbursed through the Special Affairs Bureau.

Jon seemed to find Osama's expression quite amusing, and he added, "Indeed, considering Mellen's contribution to this incident, it's a reasonable reward. I just don't know if Osama would be willing to part with it."

Osama's expression remained unchanged, and there was even a hint of displeasure in his tone as he said, "What are you talking about? Am I that kind of stingy person?"

Then he shouted directly: "Fate!"

Secretary Fate seemed to be waiting for him at any moment. He immediately pushed the door open and asked, "Sir, you called me?"

Usama said, "Take my documents and have the Third Bureau deliver the Azure Ring."

Fate paused, didn't ask any more questions, and left quickly and respectfully.

Melen was completely surprised at this time. He originally just wanted an ordinary beast-taming bracelet, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

According to mentor Eunice and his special understanding during this period, high-quality beast-taming bracelets often have special effects.

And most fundamentally, because of the precious materials and special crafting techniques, the spirituality inside is much richer than that in the outside world, and can even be compared with those spiritual training rooms specially built by wizards, which is of great help to the growth of pets.

This is also the fundamental reason why the prices of high-quality beast-taming bracelets remain high.

This basic characteristic is even more important to Mellen.

Because, for him, a rich spiritual environment means that he can obtain more spiritual energy.

If the spiritual training room in the academy wasn't too expensive, he would have wanted to spend every day in it.

Just a few minutes later, Secretary Fate returned to the office with an exquisite box in her hand.

Melen was originally surprised that the other party was so quick, but when he thought of the extraordinary person who could open the space door, he felt relieved.

Osama took the box and handed it directly to Meren, saying with a smile, "This is yours."

Mellen took the box, feeling a little excited.

Usama said, “Open it and see.”

Melen opened the box as he was told, and saw a water-blue bracelet with a wave pattern on it lying quietly in the box.

Osama explained, "This beast-taming bracelet is called the [Azure Ring], and it was crafted by Master Elta Sindson. It has the ability to slowly heal. Even if a pet is seriously injured, entering it will prevent the injury from worsening and allow it to recover. While its effectiveness is far inferior to a first-level [Healing Technique], it's superior in that it lasts longer."

"Furthermore, if a pet stays in it for a long time, it can heal deep-seated injuries that even [Healing] can't recover from. This is equivalent to indirectly enhancing the pet's potential."

Melen couldn't let go of the [Azure Ring] and played with it in his hand. This thing was perfect for Spike.

With it, the dog can recover faster after fighting, which undoubtedly further accelerates its growth.

If we were flying on a plane before, now we are flying a rocket!

Thanks to the three friends for sending the big rocket!

After Mellen left, the three directors discussed the current situation and the layout of the Southern Wilderness for a while, and Jon and Luer also said goodbye and left.
