Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"Haha, Professor Portland, you must be joking. How about this? Let the secretaries take Miss Audrey and the others to learn about the recipients' situations. Let Melissa take me on a tour of the school. You can arrange the rest yourself?"

With just two sentences, Lin Nuo kicked away Klein who was looking for him to settle the score.

"Melissa, do you have anything else to do later?"

Although Professor Portland was tempted, he did not agree on behalf of his student.

"No, I just came to submit my homework."

Melissa glanced at her mentor and shook her head slightly.

She also wanted to talk to Lin Nuo about what happened just now.

"Put the homework aside for now, and come find me later."

Professor Portland walked over and took Melissa's homework book, and also took the unfinished manuscript that was sandwiched in the homework book.

He quickly opened it and took a quick look. It was an authentic work, so he waved happily and let his student go.

"Ms. Audrey, let's separate here. You go and look after the students who have received financial aid, and I'll go and keep my sister company."

Lin Nuo ignored Klein's murderous gaze and said goodbye to Audrey and the others.

You know, Backlund University of Technology is just the first stop. Lin Nuo is not interested in visiting every school one by one. If not now, when?

"Okay, Mr. Lino."

"Your sister is cute."

Audrey praised the little girl, then secretly rolled her eyes at Lin Nuo and followed the secretaries out of the room. When she turned around, she glanced at Dwayne Dantès imperceptibly, but said nothing, with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

Is Mr. World having a hard time returning home? He cannot see his family in front of him, so he can only ask Mr. Lover for help... But Mr. Lover has some bad intentions...

Audrey felt sorry for Klein for three seconds.

"Take me for a walk around the school."

After Lin Nuo watched Klein leave reluctantly, he glanced at Portland who was indeed immersed in the manuscript and said to the little girl.

"Ah."

Melissa nodded and took Lin Nuo to visit a larger technical school.

"Melissa, you've always liked gears. I really like the mechanical cuckoo you made. You do have a good talent in this area. Backlund University of Technology is a very suitable place for you. Your mentor is also a very good scholar. You will gain a lot from following him."

Lin Nuo strolled in the university after a long time and couldn't help but slow down his pace. The little girl listened to Lin Nuo's words and lowered her head in silence.

"Fortunately, you don't smell like motor oil, otherwise I would definitely change your major."

Lin Nuo looked at the silent little girl and joked with a smile.

"I'm usually very careful, so it won't get on my clothes at all."

Melissa raised her head and argued when she heard Lin Nuo say that he wanted to change her major. Only then did the girl show some of her girlish charm and was no longer as restrained as she was in the office and in front of so many strangers.

"I know you're a careful girl, but seeing how skinny you are makes me always worry that when you cook, you only know how to cook potatoes and peas. When it comes to meat, you stare at it with eager eyes and scratch your hair in annoyance."

Lin Nuo's suspicious look irritated the little girl. She found it hard to accept such blatant slander.

“My cooking skills are no worse than those in restaurants outside.”

Melissa said somewhat unconvinced.

It's not just that she can play with gears. When she was in Tingen, she was responsible for the food of the three people in the family.

"May I have the honor to try it?"

Lin Nuo didn't know whether Klein would come to find him soon, so he planned to set a trap for him to give up.

"Okay, we don't have enough food at home. I need to buy some food after school."

Melissa agreed, and she planned to buy some better ingredients to treat Lin Nuo after school.

"How about we go shopping together?"

"Since you're treating me, you should pick something I like to eat, right?"

Lin Nuo continued to tease the little girl.

Melissa stopped and looked at him stubbornly. She was obviously unwilling to accept Lin Nuo taking her to go shopping.

"Well, you are still in school, so of course I have to take better care of you."

"After you have learned all the knowledge that Professor Portland has, it will be your turn to take care of me. Your mentor has become a wealthy man worth hundreds of thousands of pounds just from the fees for his patents. I believe in your talent. In a few years, perhaps Benson will be thankful that he has a good sister."

Lin Nuo felt helpless about the girl's self-esteem.

But he also liked this little girl with a strong sense of self-esteem.

"Your manuscripts..."

Melissa was not coaxed by Lin Nuo, she said with some entanglement.

She doesn't want to owe too many favors.

"I'll tell you a secret."

"I have met Hermothuin. In his twilight years, he entrusted me to hand over his manuscripts, experiments and conjectures that he did not have time to complete, to those who are equally passionate about science. Your mentor is the top expert in the field of mechanical engineering. According to Hermothuin's last wish, I should have entrusted some manuscripts to your mentor. You are just a side job. After all, I can't make a wasted trip, right?"

Lin Nuo raised his index finger to his lips and hushed, signaling the little girl to keep it a secret.

"You didn't lie to me?"

After hearing the explanation, Melissa felt less heavy in her heart, but she was still somewhat skeptical.

"Why would I lie to you? Without my intervention, you are so diligent and hardworking that you will be recognized by Portland sooner or later. Otherwise, with so many students, why would he specifically ask you to help in his laboratory?"

"The most I'm here today is to support you so that you can focus more on doing what you like."

Lin Nuo prefers to make the best use of things, and he really wants to help this little girl. He wants to see what Klein and Benson's expressions will be like when this Cinderella becomes a millionaire.

"I'm just helping my mentor with some chores."

Melissa's pretty face turned slightly red. What she had been struggling with was how to tell Lin Nuo that she didn't need help and wanted to gain the mentor's approval on her own.

Lin Nuo was about to speak when he suddenly realized that his spiritual thread was being manipulated by someone. He smiled and threw a piece of information along the spiritual thread.

In the distance, Klein, who had been keeping an eye on his sister through the doll, saw his sister blushing and lowering her head, and he immediately began to manipulate the spirit thread. He thought that manipulating Lin Nuo's spirit thread would be extremely difficult, but he did not expect that a piece of information would be transmitted along the spirit thread.

"Melissa is cooking for me tonight, and I'm struggling with what to eat. Do you have any recommendations?"

puff!

Klein, who was looking for students, covered his heart with his hand and almost vomited blood.

At this moment, Klein felt that the dinner carefully prepared by the chef at home had lost its appeal.

Klein was originally quite satisfied after meeting Melissa, but when he found out that his rights as a brother were in danger of being taken away, he became a little distracted.

"I plan to buy some more ingredients tonight. It might be hard for Melissa. Do you want me to pack some leftovers for you?"

At this moment, the devil's whispers awakened the slightly dazed Klein. His face turned red and then white, white and then green, and then green and then black. Finally, he chose to acquiesce in humiliation.

hateful! ! !

Suddenly, Klein's eyes lit up!

Got it!

Lin Nuo can use the name of Klein's friend!

I can do that too! I can become like Leonard!

Klein decided to keep watch on the streets of Benson and Melissa tonight. He would leave when Lin Nuo left.

Ugh...

Lin Nuo sighed helplessly.

After accompanying Melissa around the school for a while, he looked at the little girl and said with a chuckle:

"Melissa, study hard, I'll pick you up this afternoon."

He took out a unique hair ornament and handed it to the little girl:

"I made it myself, it didn't cost me anything, can you accept it?"

Lin Nuo acted as if he was obviously worried about being rejected.

Melissa took a look at the hair accessory, which was decorated with several clock-like symbols. It looked to be handmade and not a precious thing. So she accepted it, took out her wallet, took out a banknote and two copper coins and stuffed them into Lin Nuo's hand.

"You shouldn't have insisted on paying me for the mechanical cuckoo I made for you last time."

Melissa stuffed it directly into Lin Nuo's hand and didn't allow him to refuse.

"Okay, then you are not allowed to refuse the two soli pocket money per week. If you refuse, I will give it to you in the form of a scholarship. I have donated a lot of money to the foundation. Is it okay to take care of Melissa a little bit?"

Lin Nuo took back the change that the girl had forced upon him, and he offered to give the girl pocket money again.

"you!"

Melissa was a little anxious. Even if she didn't want pocket money, she would be allocated a scholarship, which made her a little unhappy. Her life was already very good now, and she didn't need to share those scholarships.

"I give you pocket money, you can spend it, you can save it, but you can't save it all. You have 24 pence a week, so you should spend at least 6 to 10, right?"

Lin Nuo ruffled Melissa's black hair.

"Your weekly pocket money will be sent to you on time."

"This is already very little. When I was at Tingen University, I had much more than you."

"Let's go. I probably won't come to school to see you often. I said I wanted to be your brother, but I'm actually quite incompetent, right? You have to work hard. Not coming to see you is one thing, but asking Professor Portland about your learning progress is another. If the professor says you don't study hard, I will definitely come to educate you in person."

Lin Nuo joked, waved at the girl and turned away.

Melissa looked at Lin Nuo's back as he left. She seemed to see Klein. She held the artificial hair accessory in her hand and couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She muttered something in a low voice, but no one heard what she said specifically.

After Lin Nuo left the school, he moved Klein's spiritual thread as a courtesy.

"I suddenly have something urgent that I need to deal with quickly. I may not be able to make it back in the evening."

"Please pick up Melissa for me after school this afternoon."

After Lin Nuo finished the unilateral communication, he directly released the thread of Klein's spirit.

As he took the 1 soli and 2 pence the girl gave him and planned to find a restaurant to eat, he secretly laughed at Amon for not understanding human nature.

When Amon learns to play tricks other than pranks, he will probably grow up.

......

32 Böklund Street, the residence of the Hull family.

Lin Nuo stood in front of the French window, looking at the drizzling rain falling with the wind, hitting the ground, falling on the glass, and weaving into a web.

Since the beginning of autumn, Backlund has begun to experience heavy rains again, which has brought with it lingering cold and humidity.

His eyes passed through the rain and saw a family of three having dinner.

Until inspiration struck, Lin Nuo withdrew his gaze, turned his head to the side, and took the letter from the messenger.

He opened it and saw that it was from Sharon, telling him that she had completed the ritual and became a puppet.

Lin Nuo wrote a letter back to Miss Sharon and also mentioned the matter of Teacher Renette.

After handing the letter to the messenger, he closed his eyes and his consciousness transferred to the body of 'Sauron' in Calderon.

At this time, Calderon was more lively and dangerous than ever before. Various undead creatures woke up from their slumber and began to transform the entire city of the dead.

Since Lin Nuo wants to become the Black Emperor, the nine tombs are simple. The most important thing is to have his own country, a set of rules to rule the country, and to choose a tomb to take the potion and complete the promotion ceremony.

What he wanted was to use Calderon as a foundation to become the Black Emperor who ruled over the kingdom of the dead and the entire underworld.

"Coincidentally, the inverted pyramid-style tomb required by the Black Emperor's ritual is also one of the symbols of death."

"The City of the Dead, the former kingdom of God on earth of Greygari, is shaped like a giant inverted pyramid mausoleum. The buildings inside are of various styles, but they are all equally strange. They just meet the requirements of the Black Emperor, which are strict, complex, and contrary to common sense."

"If the City of the Dead is repaired, it will become the mausoleum for my promotion. And the one who can destroy the current City of the Dead and my future mausoleum... must be at least at the level of a secret sage, right?"

Lin Nuo inspected the City of the Dead and personally built his own throne in his own palace.

Chapter 479: Breaking in

Backlund, Queens, in the northwest suburbs, a place that takes more than an hour to reach by carriage, Meige Manor was built along the Tussock River, surrounded by beautiful scenery and lush flowers and trees.

Strangely enough, Backlund's urban area is often cloudy and rainy all year round, with less sunshine, but its suburbs are always covered with thin clouds and bright sunshine. Although they are not far apart, they present two completely different weather conditions.
