The four of them ran all the way until dawn. Only then did they slow down. Ren Xiaosu said, "Y 'all haven't had a good night's sleep either, so I think it's better for y' all to get some rest. I'll keep watch nearby. If any unidentified people approach, I'll alert y 'all."
Mego smiled bitterly. "What's there to sleep? Who can sleep?"
At this moment, they didn't even have their tents. All of their luggage had been swallowed up by the quicksand. Even though they were great wizards, they were as pathetic as stray dogs.
At this moment, Liu Ting suddenly asked, "Sir Mego, have you ever thought about who is plotting against us? And it's actually a wizard. Do you have any enemies? "
"Why can't it be your enemies?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously. "Don't you have any enemies?"
Liu Ting said, "We're from rich families. What enemies could we have? At most, our brothers and sisters saw our father spending a lot of money to train us to become wizards. But they wouldn't go so far as to do something like this. Our family's money management is quite strict. My brothers and sisters can't afford to hire wizards. In the past, there were people who hired assassins. But since wizards appeared, they definitely weren't the ones who did it. "
"Yes." Li Chenggong also nodded. "It's fine if you pay a wizard to be his apprentice or servant. But if you want him to kill someone for you, that's a sky-high price. Ren Xiaosu, you haven't been to the Wizard Nation, so you don't know how high the status of wizards is there. Even my father has to kneel down when he sees Sir Mego. How can such a person become someone else's tool? "
Liu Ting sighed and said, "Now that I'm familiar with Lord Mego, I dare to say that. Our family is paying for Lord Mego to help us choose the Eye of Truth because of his luck. After all, people who have actually bought the Eye of Truth are different. But even if my father's motive is so utilitarian, he still has to give Lord Mego enough face when he meets him. Sir Mego, you won't be angry if I say this, right? "
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, Liu Ting is from a rich family, but he still has open and secret strife with his siblings.
However, Meg smiled bitterly and said, "No, I might have implicated you this time."
Upon hearing this, Ren Xiaosu's interest was piqued. Why? Did Mei Ge have a grudge story?
Mego explained in detail, "I also mentioned that when I was young, my family was rich, so I had more friends and family connections. When I was seven years old, I was engaged to someone. Some people get engaged, but they don't even get to see what their future partner looks like. However, I'm different. I grew up with her and we have a very good relationship. "
"Although she was not beautiful, she had a good personality. When I fell, she would personally bandage my wounds. After my father passed away, I did not have the money to bury him, so it was she who secretly gave me the money."
"After I became a Magus, I came to Yorkshire to build a Magus Tower. However, my portion of taxes would only reach me the next year, so I had no money to build a Magus Tower. If a Sorcerer couldn't even build his own Sorcerer Tower, he would be a laughing stock. Just as I was frowning, she asked her servant to come to Yorkshire and handed me all the gold coins she had saved up over the years, "Meg said.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. "Isn't that good? Now that you've become a Sorcerer, you're a good match for her. Although you're the most inconspicuous Sorcerer, you're still a Sorcerer. "
When Meg heard the words "the most inconspicuous Sorcerer", his expression became strange. However, he did not directly refute it. Instead, he continued to say, "Becoming a Sorcerer now matches her status. However, the problem is that before I became a Sorcerer, her father helped her change the engagement."
"At that time, my father had not passed away yet. I went to their manor to fight for it, but I was chased out by their servant," Meg said sadly. "Now, her fiancé is also a Sorcerer, and he comes from a great Sorcerer's family in the secular world. I can no longer change our fates."
"So, do you think her fiancé sent someone?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Yes." Meg said melancholically, "It's probably because she still has me in her heart."
"How long until they get married?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"A year," Meg said.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'Meg is practically the template of a main character in a story!
His family has fallen!
He was born to be a good-for-nothing!
His engagement was broken off!
However, his fate took a turn at the most unexpected moment in his life. Not only did he casually pick out the Eye of Truth, but he also met the golden finger of his life … Ren Xiaosu!
From then on, Meg would begin his counterattack. He would challenge the heavens and fate before finally marrying the woman he loved. From then on, he would live a blissful life in the Northwest, where Fortress 178 was located.
When Ren Xiaosu thought of this, he nearly laughed out loud.
Meg looked at Ren Xiaosu and said bitterly, "Is it really that funny?"
"It's not that bad." Ren Xiaosu said in a serious tone, "They're all in Ghent, right? I think we should head there as soon as possible."
"You're in such a hurry?" Meg was surprised.
"Of course, I'm going there to help you get your childhood sweetheart back!" Ren Xiaosu said matter-of-factly.
Meg was taken aback for a moment before laughing. "You? You're just a warlock's retainer. What right do you have to go snatch someone from a warlock clan? Of course, I'm not trying to belittle you. It's just that you still don't know anything about the power of a warlock. "
Ren Xiaosu curled his lips and thought to himself, 'You don't know anything about the power of a Stronghold Destroyer either.'
"By the way." Ren Xiaosu asked, "Have you heard of the name Ren He?"
Meg was taken aback. "Why does it sound familiar? But I can't remember where I've seen it before."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "You mentioned before that there's a book that records the life of the great warlock who's good at using the Meteor Shower spell. Do you still have that book with you?"
"No." Meg shook his head. "The books I brought with me this time are all ones I haven't read before. I've already finished reading that one, and the other books have also fallen into the quicksand of the Earth Sinking spell."
"Alright then," Ren Xiaosu said helplessly.
But the moment he finished speaking, Ren Xiaosu suddenly grabbed Meg by the collar and pounced to the left. A pillar of flames shot up into the sky where Meg had been standing!
"Enemy attack!" Ren Xiaosu roared.
Meg had just been dragged by Ren Xiaosu and fell to the ground in a very sorry state. When he heard the words "enemy attack," he almost forgot to reach for the Eye of Truth hidden in his sleeve.
Ren Xiaosu whispered, "Be careful."
Then he chased after them southward!
