The Sheep Man's words were like a key that unlocked the last bit of doubt in Ren Xiaosu's heart.
It turned out that the stone in Meg's hand was the key to becoming a wizard.
With that stone, one would be qualified to become a wizard. Without that stone, one would never become a real wizard even if they studied witchcraft for the rest of their lives.
However, Ren Xiaosu just happened to have such a stone.
He looked at Li Chenggong. "What's that stone called?"
"It seems that you really don't know anything about the Wizard Nation." Li Chenggong shook his head. "It's the same name as the Wizard Organization. It's called the Eye of Truth. All the stones in the hands of wizards are called the Eye of Truth."
The so-called Eye of Truth implied that wizards could use it to find the truth of the world and see power that ordinary people couldn't.
The Eye of Truth could be said to be an open secret in the Wizard World. Perhaps some ordinary people didn't know about it, but most people who had a little understanding of wizards knew of its existence.
"Where did these Eye of Truth come from?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you," Li Chenggong said. "The Eye of Truth is basically in the hands of the Wizard Organization. They control the mines that contain the Eye of Truth. Ordinary people can't enter them."
"So, who can become a wizard and who can't is decided by the Wizard Organization?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Yes." Li Chenggong thought that it was not a secret, so there was no harm in saying it.
And just like Ren Xiaosu said, seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that this middle-aged boy would become a wizard's follower, the two servants should just accept their fate.
Of course, there was no other way if they didn't want to accept their fate and tell the truth. They really couldn't beat this guy!
Seeing how this young man could beat them like a child with shackles on, if he took off the shackles, wouldn't he hang them up and beat them?!
At this moment, Liu Ting said with panda eyes, "But there are exceptions."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "What exceptions?"
"As I said just now, the Eye of Truth exists in the mines, but over the years, there will always be stones that fall into the river and are washed downstream," Liu Ting said. "So, there will be lucky people who will pick them up and become new wizards. However, although the Sorcerer Organization recognizes these Sorcerers and gives them fiefdoms, allowing them to build Sorcerer Towers and enjoy the taxes of the fiefdoms, the Sorcerer Organization actually doesn't like these Sorcerers. "
Ren Xiaosu pondered. Why did this thing sound like a certain kind of jade from the Northwest? Some collectors especially liked this kind of jade from the river. The ones dug out from the mines were called mountain materials, and the ones washed out from the river were called seed materials …
Under normal circumstances, the seeds from the river would be much more expensive than the ones from the mountains.
However, the situation in the Sorcerer Nation was the opposite. These Sorcerers who were beyond the control of the Sorcerer Organization were like idlers in society. Although they had a formal establishment, they were excluded from the core circle.
"Sorcerer organizations are a very small circle." Li Chenggong said, "They insist that they are the gods in the sky. The Eye of Truth is usually passed down from father to son, and son to grandson. And these people control the entire Sorcerer Nation. The Sorcerers who pick up the stone are called the God-given Children. This is probably to make sense of their divine right. However, the status of these God-given Children is much lower than that of ordinary Sorcerers. After they die, they can't continue to pass the Eye of Truth to their descendants. They have to hand it over to the Sorcerer Organization. "
"Oh." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "In other words, the God-given Children can only glorify their generation. After they die, they have nothing."
"Yes." Li Chenggong nodded. "Moreover, under normal circumstances, the dirty and tiring work is done by these God-given Children. The good thing is that the Sorcerer Organization will indeed give them some training to match their status as Sorcerers, so that they don't bring shame to the Sorcerers."
The God-given Children sounded very powerful, but the Sorcerers regarded themselves as gods. Then, wouldn't the God-given Children be their sons? It sounded like they were taking advantage of them …
It was no wonder that Mego was so weak. Although the Sorcerer Organization seriously taught him some Sorcery so that he wouldn't bring shame to the Sorcerer Organization, his special skills were definitely not passed down.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and suddenly asked, "This is the situation when Mego was ostracized, right? Did he pick up the Eye of Truth? "
Li Chenggong and Liu Ting looked at each other. "Forget it, there's no harm in telling you. Anyway, the people in his fief all know about this. That's right, he's a God-given Child."
"No wonder he was sent to such a remote place," Ren Xiaosu muttered. "No wonder he's depressed every day."
"Don't think that way," Li Chenggong said. "Even if he's a God-given Child, he still has a high status in the Sorcerer Nation. Whoever doesn't give him face is going against the entire Sorcerer Organization. His status is low, but it's only in the Sorcerer Organization. However, he didn't pick up the Eye of Truth … "
Speaking up to this point, Liu Ting pulled Li Chenggong's arm, signaling him to stop talking.
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "Oh, there's more to it than meets the eye. Do you want to tell me directly now, or do you want me to beat you up first?"
The two sheep people, Li Chenggong and Liu Ting, were sullen for a long time. "Sir Mego's Eye of Truth was bought, but not everyone can buy it. It depends on luck."
Ren Xiaosu changed his mind. "Since he's a God-given Child, why do you follow him? Don't you want to follow a more powerful Sorcerer? "
"We want to, but he has to want us first," Li Chenggong complained, "Wizards are all high and mighty gods. The only people ordinary people can come into contact with are the God-bestowed Children. My family spent a lot of money to let us learn from him." "That's right.
"Learn?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously. "You don't have the Eye of Truth, so why do you want to learn Sorcery from him?"
"What if we also pick up the Eye of Truth one day?" Liu Ting said.
Ren Xiaosu smiled. He knew that things weren't that simple. These two sheep people were definitely hiding something from him. However, there was no rush. There was still a long way to go, so he could take it slowly.
Tonight's pleasant conversation was a good start, wasn't it?!
"One last question." Ren Xiaosu chuckled and asked, "Mego asked me if I've seen the black Eye of Truth in the Middle Earth. What's the situation with this thing? Is it any different from the one he has? "
"The black Eye of Truth." Li Chenggong said, "That kind of thing usually only exists in legends. Some people say that there are no more than three black Eye of Truth in the entire Sorcerer Organization, and the white one in Sir Mego's hand is the lowest grade. "
