Please be my partner.

"Hello, Principal Gu!"

……

After playing for several hours, Melen stopped, feeling unsatisfied.

During this process, Spike was bored in his doghouse, while Little Red Lotus was curious and kept circling around Mellen, watching her master change his appearance from time to time.

In the end, none of the above were selected from the three fixed templates that Mellen initially drafted.

As for the reason?

It's very simple. Melen's original form in this life is already handsome enough. He needs some more ordinary faces to disguise himself, rather than those that are half-hearted or half-baked.

For example, at this time...

In the mirror is the image of a slightly weathered uncle, with stubble and curly hair, all of which send out the signal of "I have stories, who has wine?"

Mellen bought the Thousand Faces not only for some special purposes, but also to make it easier for him to travel alone in the future.

After all, the probability of a young boy who looks naive and an uncle who looks like he has experienced a lot getting into trouble is very different.

In the last few days of the semester, all open classes in the college have been stopped, and everyone is basically discussing how to spend the holidays.

Just like Sora, he had already chosen where to go.

Some are going to take over part of the family business to gain early training.

Some will even leave with their career mentors to gain some kind of experience.

Of course, there are also people like Mellen who go straight home.

Melen didn't know many people in Roland City, and the only ones worth making a special trip to say goodbye to were Gano and Salim.

He prepared a small gift when he went to Gano Farm, but unfortunately Uncle Gano seemed very busy and he didn't meet him after several visits.

I had no choice but to give the small gift to Robert and ask him to deliver it.

Finally, Mellen needs to go to the Special Affairs Bureau to go through the temporary leave procedures.

Although he was a temporary investigator, he was still within the system, so he naturally needed to inform in advance if he wanted to return home during the holidays.

Accompanied by Salim and with the help of Windsor, the formalities were completed quickly.

After coming out of the Special Affairs Bureau, Mellen felt relaxed all over, as if he had taken off a layer of shackles.

Although the work of a temporary investigator is easy and comes with many benefits, it is still a job after all.

Salim asked, "How are you going to spend the holidays? Go back to Vero City?"

Mellen nodded and said, "Let's go home and rest for a while, and then we'll see where to go. After all, it's two months!"

"Tsk tsk!" Salim said with emotion, "I really envy you, Master Mellen. You are carefree and can enjoy your life to the fullest."

"Carefree?" Mellen shook his head and said, "Not really. I have what I want, and now I'm just on the way to my goal."

"Oh?!" Salim asked with interest, "Master Mellen, what do you want?"

"As for me..." Melen smiled and said, "I want to do whatever I want, I want to be proud of my achievements, I want to travel across mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, I want all the romance in the world!"

For some reason, looking at the high-spirited look of the young man in front of him, Salim felt a little funny and inexplicably touched.

result……

Mellen laughed first and said, "It's just a joke. I'm grown up now, not a child anymore."

Salim also laughed, but for some reason, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Mellen said with a faint smile on his face, "How could I possibly want those unrealistic things? What I want is naturally..."

"Master boundless power, achieve immortality, eternal indestructibility, and eternal freedom!"

Salim's expression froze, and he didn't know whether to doubt his ears or his brain.

Chapter 91 Return to Vero City and the 'Stupid' Method

"Well, see you next semester!"

Finally, after saying goodbye to Sora, Meren boarded the steam car prepared by Santos.

Along the way, I witnessed the prosperity and bustle of Roland City again, but my experience was different from when I first came to this city.

This is a confluence of tranquility and noise, as if the inside and outside of the car are invisibly divided into two worlds.

Suddenly, Melen smiled dumbly, feeling that if he traveled to the world of cultivating immortals, the sudden enlightenment just now might be able to directly elevate him to a higher realm.

Now...

Let’s think about what to eat later!

When they arrived at the steam train station, Mellen got off the steam train carrying a small package and said to Santos, "Thank you for your care during this time."

Santos quickly bowed and said, "You're welcome, Master Mellen."

Mellen nodded slightly, then walked into the station.

Santos waited until Mellen was far away before driving away.

Check your ticket and get on the bus.

It is still an independent box.

After Mellen closed the door, Xiao Honglian couldn't wait to jump out of the [Blue Ring], and then Spike also came out slowly.

Xiao Honglian was obviously very curious about things like steam trains. She kept running around the room and occasionally leaned on the window, looking out curiously.

Soon, the steam train started, and the rapidly changing scenery outside attracted all the attention of the little guy. His little eyes were bright and didn't blink.

Mellen smiled and gently stroked Spike's head.

Four months ago, when he set out for Roland City, he only had Spike with him. Now when he returned, he had Little Honglian with him.

Steam trains make a lot of noise when they are moving, and even though the compartments are made of soundproof materials, the noise still continues.

It may feel a bit harsh at first, but after a long time, this monotonous and repetitive sound of "clang clang" can actually help you sleep.

The two-day journey went smoothly without any accidents.

It was almost noon when they arrived in Vero City. Mellen walked out of the station and saw Morgan, the butler, standing straight with his hair combed neatly and his clothes without a wrinkle through the bustling crowd.

Mellen walked forward slowly, smiled, and said, "I'm back, Mr. Morgan."

Butler Morgan also smiled and said, "Welcome home, Master Mellen."

After returning home, a sumptuous lunch was waiting for Mellen.

Mellen also released Spike and Xiao Honglian. Although this method was magical, Butler Morgan and the two maids also knew that their young master went to Roland City this time to learn extraordinary abilities.

Spike and the others were all familiar with her, but Little Red Lotus surprised them.

However, the little guy's cuteness and cuteness soon won the hearts of the two maids.

After lunch, Melen returned to his cabin and felt inexplicably comfortable and relaxed. After lying down on the bed, his eyelids immediately started to droop and he fell asleep in a short while.

He slept until he woke up naturally. When Melen opened his eyes, as expected, he saw Xiao Honglian's little head coming over.

I glanced at the clock in the room and it was almost three in the afternoon.

I stood up and opened the door, and saw folded clean clothes on the cabinet at the door.

After changing his clothes and saying goodbye to Butler Morgan, Mellen went out.

Four months have not brought any obvious changes to the city, at least not in the Colin district.

As he was walking, Mellen suddenly stopped. He saw a newly opened clinic in front of him. The name was... Jim's Pet Clinic.

Thinking of Mr. Jim who sold him the [Leaf of Nature], he walked over.

When the apprentice who was receiving the patient saw Mellen, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Sir, are you looking for a doctor for your pet?"

Mellen smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I'm Mr. Jim's... friend. I just returned to Vero City and saw this clinic, so I came to say hello."

"Like This."

The apprentice first welcomed Mellen in, poured him some tea, and then quickly walked upstairs.

A moment later, Mr. Jim came downstairs and laughed heartily when he saw Mellen.

"Master Mellen, it's been a while since we last met. I met Butler Morgan a while ago, and he told me that you went to Roland City to study."

Mellen nodded with a smile and said, "It was arranged by the elders. I benefited a lot from this trip to Roland City. Now that it's vacation time, I'll come back and rest."

Mr. Jim was a little envious, but that was all. He was very satisfied with his current life, especially after having his own clinic. He was radiant and full of energy.

After a brief greeting, Mellen stood up and prepared to say goodbye. Before leaving, he took out a Kingdom Bank draft with a face value of one hundred gold coins and pushed it in front of Mr. Jim.

Mr. Jim asked doubtfully, "Master Mellen, what are you doing?"

Mellen smiled and said, "I have benefited a lot from Mr. Jim's teachings. This is my gift to you as a congratulatory gift for the grand opening of the clinic."

Mr. Jim was relieved and accepted it with pleasure.

After leaving Mr. Jim, Mellen soon arrived at the narrow alley where he first met Spike.

Spike in the [Azur Ring] sensed this scene and opened his eyes slightly.

With a chuckle, Mellen continued on his way and soon arrived at the library.

I spent the afternoon leisurely with a pot of milk tea and a few books.

At night, the sky is dotted with stars and the streets are brightly lit. When you walk home, you will find a sumptuous dinner prepared for you.

Melen spent a few days leisurely like this.

August 7, early morning.

Mellen woke up from bed and changed into loose clothes. The laziness in his eyes had disappeared and became sharp again.

He whispered, "Let's go, it's time to set off."

Xiao Honglian jumped up excitedly and directly entered the [Blue Ring].

Spike slowly stood up, his bones making a crackling sound, as if to say...

Young man, it’s time to do this!

Then, it also disappeared.

Before leaving the house, Mellen greeted butler Morgan as usual.

But this time, unlike usual nodding to show understanding, Butler Morgan warned Mellen, "Master, please be careful."

Mellen stopped, his expression becoming strange, and asked, "Mr. Morgan, why do you say that?"

Butler Morgan said calmly, "Master always has this expression when he's about to embark on an unknown adventure. He appears calm on the surface, but deep down he's filled with anticipation."

"Is that so?" Mellen suddenly asked, "What kind of person is my father in Mr. Morgan's eyes?"

Morgan said without hesitation: "Always young, always passionate, never stop, always full of expectations for the future!"

Melen didn't expect to receive such an evaluation. For a moment, the vague impression of his father in his mind recovered a little, but it was still fragmented.

He withdrew his thoughts, nodded to Butler Morgan, and went out.

The Devouring Swamp is an extremely large organization. Even the part of it active in Vero City is just a small tentacle of the other party.

Of course, Mellen's goal is not the body of the 'Swallowing Swamp'. This is still a bit unrealistic for him now.

He only needs to find this part of the "tentacle" of Vero City and then turn it into his own nutrients.

As for the 'Swallowing Swamp', there will always be a day of reckoning in the future.

In fact, Mellen himself is neither a very intelligent character nor has any extraordinary ability to detect or predict. It is not easy for him to find the "polluters" and "eroders" lurking in Vero City.

However, just because he doesn't have a smart way doesn't mean he doesn't have a stupid way.

Soon, Mellen found the purpose of his trip...

"Long time no see, Sheriff Liman."

When Sheriff Liman saw the young man greeting him, he was stunned for a moment before hesitantly saying, "Master...Mellen?"

The young man in front of him had not changed much in appearance, but his temperament and aura made Liman almost unrecognizable.

A few months ago, although the boy had a noble status, he was obviously just an ordinary person. When communicating with him, Liman could clearly feel that the boy was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

But when they met again, the young man was still gentle, but Liman's sharp directness seemed to tell him that the man in front of him was simply a beast in human skin. The hideousness and cruelty hidden in the darkness almost froze his soul.
