Please be my partner.

The fairy tale characters watching around applauded and cheered, praising the magnificent performance.

Little Red Riding Hood's face flushed with excitement. She clapped her hands and said enviously, "Uncle, you are so lucky! That's Queen Elsa!"

Mellen took a sip of the cold drink in his hand, and a cool and refreshing feeling instantly spread throughout his body.

He mused to himself, "This isn't necessarily luck."

Then he asked, "She is Elsa... Queen?"

Little Red Riding Hood nodded excitedly and said, "Queen Elsa is a very famous figure in the entire Fairy Tale Kingdom! She comes from the distant Ice Kingdom and was originally the queen of that kingdom... Later, she passed the throne to her sister and brother-in-law, and traveled... Finally, she came to the Fairy Tale Kingdom and lived in seclusion there, rarely appearing in public."

Melen nodded slightly, realizing that this Queen Elsa must be the one he was thinking of.

However, this fairy tale character seems to have deviated from the original story development and has her own sequel, which also provides a relatively reasonable explanation for her appearance in the fairy tale kingdom.

Led by Little Red Riding Hood, Melen soon arrived at her home, an ordinary wooden house.

At the girl's invitation, he entered and saw a scene that surprised him...

There is someone in the house, it is Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother, but this grandmother is...Grandma Wolf!

Grandma Wolf, although she is dressed in human clothes and wears a pair of reading glasses, there is no doubt that she is a wolf!

Little Red Riding Hood cheered and rushed forward. Melen subconsciously wanted to stop her, but his hand stopped halfway.

Because he didn't feel any malice from this wolf grandmother, but instead felt a kind of tranquil and peaceful kindness.

Little Red Riding Hood threw herself into Grandma Wolf's arms and chattered about her mushroom picking experience today, and also introduced Mellen to her by the way.

At this time, Melen also observed more details from Grandma Wolf, such as her hair was a little gray, which showed that she was very old, the claws on her hands were deliberately smoothed so that she would not hurt others in daily life, and the look she gave Little Red Riding Hood was full of tenderness and pampering.

Just like a real grandma.

Just as Mellen was thinking, Grandma Wolf looked at him and said in a gentle voice, "Stranger, you seem surprised to see me."

Mellen looked at Little Red Riding Hood and then said frankly, "Indeed, I didn't expect Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother to be... um, sorry, I didn't mean anything else."

Grandma Wolf smiled gently and said, "It's okay. A long time ago, I also faced a lot of doubts, but most of them have become my friends now. Time always proves everything, doesn't it?"

Mellen nodded slightly in approval.

Grandma Wolf smiled and said, "Young man, I don't know why, but seeing you makes me feel familiar. If you don't have a place to stay for the time being, you can stay here first. Although the wooden house is small, there are still some spare rooms."

Grandma Wolf's words further confirmed an idea in Mellen's mind, which was...

The fairy tale characters created because of him all seem to have an instinctive liking for him.

This is extremely good news for him.

However, although Grandma Wolf was very welcoming, she didn't have time to stay for long, so she shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I have important things to do in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, so I'm afraid I don't have time to stay for long. But there is something I want to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood looked disappointed.

Seeing that Mellen was about to leave, Grandma Wolf didn't try to stop her. She said, "Ask whatever you want to know. You've lived in the fairy kingdom for a long time, so you'll know more. Maybe you can help me."

Melen thought about it, but ultimately didn't explicitly mention the [Final Track] and Track Settlement. He simply said, "I've been in some trouble recently. I know the solution lies in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, but it's so vast, I don't know how to find it."

"I see..." Grandma Wolf seemed lost in thought. After a moment, she said, "Such a wide range of needs reminds me of someone... Witch Anna. Let's go find her. No matter what the problem, she can always find a solution."

Anna the Witch?

Melen recalled in his mind whether this was a fairy tale character in his memory.

After asking for the specific address, he said goodbye and left.

Following the map, Melen soon found the divination hut where witch Anna was. It was called a hut, but it was actually just a small pointed tent.

Mellen shook the bell hanging outside the tent, and the bell made a crisp "ding-ling" sound.

After waiting for a while without any response, he thought about it and simply lifted the curtain and walked in.

Melen was surprised after entering. From the outside, this small tent looked no more than 10 square meters, but the space inside looked at least ten times larger.

There were various odds and ends placed around, with a small round table in the middle. On the table stood a crystal ball. A figure wearing a purple hooded cloak was constantly gesturing at the crystal ball with his hands, giving off a charlatan vibe.

Melen blinked, and just as he was hesitating whether to enter, the witch stopped what she was doing and said in a magnetic voice, "Come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Mellen's mouth twitched, and he felt that the other party's aura of a charlatan was even stronger.

But he didn't refuse. He took two steps forward and sat down opposite the witch. He asked, "You knew I was coming? Do you know why I came?"

Witch Anna lowered her hood, revealing a face with ordinary features, but a very charming face when put together. Especially the purple hair and purple eyes, which added a sense of weirdness to the charm.

She rolled her eyes at Mellen and said, "Nonsense! Aren't you here to save me?! The Special Affairs Bureau's efficiency is quite high this time. It only took them two cycles to decipher the clues I left behind. Not bad, not bad, they deserve praise!"

These incoherent words completely confused Mellen.

Seeing his expression, Anna seemed to sense something was amiss. She frowned and muttered to herself, "Strange! This is the forbidden Fairy Tale Town. If the Special Affairs Bureau sent someone to rescue me, it should have been at least a group of third-level experts. Why would they send a second-level kid?"

"But I clearly see a connection to the Special Affairs Bureau in you, and I also see hope for escaping this predicament."

Mellen hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "I'm sorry, Ms. Anna, I came here for other purposes, not to save you."

Anna's expression changed, and she said helplessly, "I knew it. How could those idiots decipher the clues I left so quickly?"

Under Mellen's questioning, Anna slowly revealed her identity...

She turned out to be the mysterious "Fortune Teller" in the Special Affairs Bureau!

When she received the revelation that day and predicted the dangers of the mirror puppet, she also became connected to Storybrooke, and her consciousness was forcibly pulled into this forbidden object.

In the critical moment, she only had time to leave some clues, hoping that the Special Affairs Bureau could decipher them and come to rescue her.

Today she predicted that she would meet someone who could bring her hope of escaping from the predicament, and she also noticed that Mellen had some connection with the Special Affairs Bureau, so she subconsciously thought that he was sent by the Special Affairs Bureau to rescue her, but she didn't expect that it would be a misunderstanding.

Of course, it is true that Mellen can bring her hope of escaping the predicament, and this is also the fundamental reason why she did not hide anything and told him everything.

After explaining everything, Anna showed hope and said, "You should also be a member of the Special Affairs Bureau. I have a very high position in the Special Affairs Bureau. If you can rescue me, you will definitely receive an unimaginably generous reward."

Mellen looked calm. His relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau was extremely complicated. After all, he had a rebellious uncle, so it was still unclear whether he could go back.

Therefore, the reward Anna promised was not very attractive to him.

On the contrary, Anna's identity itself may be more worthy of his attention.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What do you mean by 'two cycles'?"

Anna explained, "This forbidden object in Storybrooke resets every seven days. If you fail to leave before it resets, you will be captured by it. Your original memories will be gradually tampered with, and you will slowly become a part of it."

"I've already experienced two reincarnation resets here. Even with my abilities, there's no guarantee I can experience them again. Naturally, the sooner I escape, the better!"

Mellen was silent for a moment, then asked, "What day is it today?"

Anna was confused and replied, "I'm not very sensitive to dates. Calculating the days, it should be early June now."

Mellen sighed and said, "It's already September, which means you've been trapped in Storybrooke for more than three months."

Anna's eyes suddenly widened and her expression became dull.

Chapter 119: Seeking Help ( Monthly Tickets Plus)

It took Anna a while to come to her senses from the confusion.

It turned out that it was not her who resisted the reincarnation reset at all, but this forbidden object had already begun to tamper with and infiltrate her memory.

Anna has unknowingly begun to integrate into this forbidden object, and she herself is still unaware of it. Instead, she is complacent and thinks she still has plenty of time.

If it weren't for Mellen's enlightenment, Anna would probably have been unable to escape the fate of assimilation.

After sorting out all of this, Anna held her head and trembled for a long time before she said, "I have indeed lost some of my memory. Please... please help me!"

Mellen said: "Of course I can help you, but I also need your help with something."

Anna nodded quickly like a chick pecking at rice.

Melen no longer hesitated and said, "Do you know the [Final Trajectory]?"

Anna calmed down, thought for a moment, and nodded. "I know. This is an extraordinary item kept by the Special Affairs Bureau. I once appraised it. Because the power of destiny is too strong, the negative effects cannot be avoided in advance and can only be remedied afterwards. So I gave it a low rating and suggested that the Special Affairs Bureau dispose of it. I don't know which unlucky person has it now."

Mellen's face darkened. Although [Final Track] had given him a lot of help, why was he so unhappy when he heard Anna's tone?!

Mellen took out the [Final Track] from the [Blue Ring] and placed it on the table in front of him, then just looked at Anna silently.

Anna blinked, looked at [Final Track], then at Mellen, then at [Final Track] again, then at Mellen again, her expression gradually froze.

Mellen said stiffly: "Yes, I am the unlucky one."

Anna stammered with an expression that looked like she was about to cry, "I...I...I didn't...mean...that..."

Melen had calmed down and asked, "Is there any way to resolve the third-stage trajectory of [Final Trajectory]?"

"Third gear?!"

Anna understood Mellen's problem. She said with a bitter face, "The [Final Track] possesses a powerful force of destiny. If all of this force of destiny had positive effects, it would undoubtedly be a top-notch extraordinary item."

"However, perhaps there was a slight deviation when it was created, causing most of the power of destiny to be concentrated on the calculation of its negative effect trajectory. This made this negative effect extremely powerful, and it is almost impossible to immunize it through external means. We can only wait for it to be calculated and then remedy it."

"For example, its previous owner, the magus, used a surrogate doll, waiting for the outcome before evading death. If you don't have a surrogate ability, using [Final Track] is simply..."

Mellen calmly interrupted Anna's long speech and asked, "So, is there any solution?"

Anna's face was full of helplessness.

Mellen thought for a moment and said, "I've received clear intelligence that there's a solution to this problem here. How about this: you help me find a way to counter the trajectory settlement, and I'll help you escape from here? How about that?"

Anna didn't agree immediately, but asked doubtfully, "Is there a solution here? I've had a brief understanding of the fairy tale creatures in Storybrooke, and it seems none of them can resolve the side effects of Final Track. Have you been deceived?"

Mellen also showed a puzzled look and said, "I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago, why do you still call this place Storybrooke? Shouldn't it be called the Fairy Tale Kingdom?"

"Fairy tale... Kingdom?!" Anna was shocked again.

After a while, after Melen's explanation, Anna finally understood the basic situation.

She said helplessly, "During this reincarnation reset, the Fairy Tale… Kingdom arranged my current identity for me, which also included the corresponding memories that matched this identity. However, I was afraid that these memories would interfere with me, so I didn't accept them at all and simply sealed them away."

"Plus, I had a feeling that someone who could help me out would come find me, so I just waited here and didn't notice the changes in the outside world."

At this point, Anna revealed a look of confusion and muttered to herself, "But this isn't right! Even if the entire Kingdom of Crow—no, I should say, even if all the fairy tales in the world were combined—were combined, Storybrooke wouldn't be able to expand to this extent. How could this be?!"

Mellen's expression was calm, as if he had no idea what Anna was saying.

Anna shook her head and stopped thinking about it. She said to Mellen, "Wait a moment. I'll search the memory of this identity and see if I can find a solution."

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Mellen and began to concentrate on his own thoughts.

Mellen didn't care. Although the contact time was short, he had already roughly understood Anna's character.

A little timid, a little socially anxious, and seems a little willful.

The reason why she developed these characteristics is probably closely related to the fact that Anna was "protected" by the Special Affairs Bureau for many years.

He stood up and began to look around in the tent space.

There are quite a few things here, including necklaces made of unknown bone fragments, broken stone tablets engraved with strange symbols, uniquely shaped metal artifacts, and ancient jade carvings...

What surprised Melen was that most of these things actually emitted more or less mysterious power, and seemed to be extraordinary things.

After a long time, Melen sensed some movement and looked back, only to see that Anna had woken up from her thoughts, with a dazed look in her eyes.

Mellen sat back in his previous position and waited for a moment. Anna let out a long breath and exclaimed, "It's incredible!"

Seeing Mellen looking at her, Anna said embarrassedly: "Sorry for the long wait. According to my memories, I have found two possible solutions..."

"One is the [Lucky Gold Coin]. Legend has it that this coin can bring extreme good luck. Anyone who holds it will gain unlimited luck. No matter how small the probability of good things happening, they will be able to encounter them, and no matter how high the probability of bad things happening, they will be able to avoid them."

"As far as I know, this [Lucky Gold Coin] is currently in the hands of Bugs Bunny. He's a humanoid rabbit creature. He doesn't seem to have any real strength, but he possesses some incredible powers. If you want to get the [Lucky Gold Coin] from him, it's best not to have any bad intentions. With this [Lucky Gold Coin] in hand, any bad thing will be avoided!"

"Bugs Bunny is a cheerful and righteous character. If you befriend him and borrow Lucky Coins openly, you might even get a bigger reward."

"The other is the 'Wishing Well'. It's a magical pool that can grant wishes. However, to use it, you must get approval from the higher-ups in the Fairy Tale Kingdom. As far as I remember, the 'Wishing Well' is a forbidden area in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and ordinary people are forbidden from using it."

"For a vast fairytale kingdom, there should be more than just these two solutions, but based on the witch's memories, these are the only two I can think of."

"It's worth noting that both of these methods can only be effective within the Fairy Tale Kingdom. Once outside the Fairy Tale Kingdom, the power of both the Lucky Coin and the Wishing Well will be greatly reduced."

Mellen's brow furrowed slightly when he heard the last point.

The trajectory settlement of [Final Trajectory] is late at night on the 9th of every month, and according to the time calculation, September 15th happens to be the last day of the reincarnation reset of the Fairy Tale Kingdom.

He explained this to Anna, who rubbed her forehead and said, "My memory is indeed seriously distorted. Now I can vaguely recall that every night in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, a huge change occurs. These changes will reach their peak on the last day of the reincarnation reset, and they are extremely dangerous!"

"But both my memory and the memory of my current witch identity are missing this information."

"An unexpected event?" Mellen nodded and said, "After all, it's a taboo item. It would be unreasonable if it weren't dangerous at all."

Then he asked, "How can I leave the fairy kingdom? And how can I rescue you from this predicament?"
