"When he released the Fire Pillar Spell just now, I knew that he was far more powerful than me," Mego said. "So, it's actually a good thing that you didn't catch up to him. Next time, don't be so reckless, or you'll lose your life."
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "How come you know that a random wizard is far more powerful than you with just a spell? Is it because there aren't many wizards who are weaker than you? "
Mego, "???"
Mego felt terrible on the spot, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was indeed the case.
However, in order to save his face as a wizard, Mego emphasized, "You may not have seen the most basic Fire Pillar Spell, but I have. The temperature is much lower than this. This wizard doesn't have years of hard work, so he wouldn't have such strength. By the way, did you see his attire? "
"I saw it." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "He was wearing brown leather armor and had a sleeve dart on his arm. He looked very capable. He didn't look like a wizard at all."
"That's right." Mego nodded and said, "This is a bounty hunter, not an orthodox wizard. The identity of these bounty hunters was actually very sensitive. They usually attached themselves to the secular families of the Great Sorcerers and specialized in doing the dirty and tiring work. Once they were exposed, they would say that they stole or snatched the Eye of Truth from someone else. Anyway, it had nothing to do with the Sorcerer Organization. Of course, there are real bounty hunters who are on the fringes of society, and those are always wanted by the wizard organizations. "
Mego continued, "This kind of bounty hunter is different from orthodox wizards. Orthodox wizards pursue the pinnacle of witchcraft, but these bounty hunters pursue killing more. On one hand, it's because they specialize in killing people, and on the other hand, it's very difficult for them to obtain higher-level witchcraft meditation diagrams through normal means. You see, this bounty hunter is very typical. The meditation diagram of the Fire Pillar Spell is relatively common, and it can often be seen on the black market. Also, the method of killing is more effective. The release of the Fireball Spell has a trajectory, but the Fire Pillar Spell can explode in an instant, so it's considered the favorite of the bounty hunters. "
"You're not very powerful, but you know quite a lot," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
Meg said bitterly, "Do you really have to provoke me every day? Will it make you stronger if I'm hurt by you?"
"Ahem, no, no." Ren Xiaosu consoled him. "I'm just urging you to improve, aren't I? Otherwise, how would you snatch your lover back? Just me alone … I think I can do it. "
"Will you die if you don't brag?" Mego complained helplessly. "You can't even catch up to a bounty hunter, so why are you helping me? Where do you get your confidence from?!"
At the side, Liu Ting and Li Chenggong also curled their lips. Although they were familiar with each other now, Ren Xiaosu's inexplicable narcissism and self-confidence still made them a little uncomfortable.
However, Ren Xiaosu couldn't tell the truth to the three of them. If he were to say, "I've already killed that bounty hunter!"
And then? Mego immediately thought, Since you have the ability to kill this bounty hunter, why were you bound by the Earthbind Spell in the first place?
Next, everyone would be concerned about the bounty hunter's Eye of Truth. Would Ren Xiaosu keep it for himself? Or hand it over?
Who could guarantee that Li Chenggong and Liu Ting would really treat Ren Xiaosu as a friend? Ren Xiaosu hadn't even seen Liu Ting's gratitude tokens yet. Even if Liu Ting had sincerely thanked him, people could change.
Ren Xiaosu didn't have to bet his life on these people.
At this moment, nobody knew that the most polite Magus in the history of Magi had been born. The person who witnessed this scene was already dead.
Mego didn't continue to rest. Instead, he brought Ren Xiaosu and the rest along with him and hurried on their way. Now that the assassins had arrived, he had to return to Yorkshire before they launched their next attack.
The assassins had chosen to attack here because they didn't want to do it in the Magus Country's territory. After all, if a Magus was assassinated within the country's borders, it would mean that someone wanted to provoke the entire Magus organization.
Since the Magus organizations compared themselves to Gods and promoted grassroots Magi as the children of God, they had to maintain their authority.
Would a God who could be killed still be considered a God?
Therefore, there were unspoken rules among Magi. Even if some things were done, the secular society shouldn't pay too much attention to them.
Not long after they left, a middle-aged man quietly came to the place where Ren Xiaosu and the rest were resting. He first checked the situation of the battle. The traces of the Fire Pillar Spell released by the bounty hunter were still there.
Then, he followed the footprints on the Gobi Desert all the way south. The more he saw, the more shocked he became.
This was because he realized that the bounty hunter had chosen to use the Fire Wall Spell on the way out. This meant that the bounty hunter had encountered a more troublesome enemy and wanted to use the Fire Wall Spell to delay the enemy's pursuit.
The middle-aged man frowned. This didn't match the information he had received. To be honest, he didn't expect the plan to fail.
Thinking of this, he continued walking forward. Soon, he saw a dazzling scene of spells being cast. There was the Earth Sinking Spell, Wind Binding Spell, and even some spells that he couldn't tell what they were …
Then he saw a pool of blood on the ground that was almost covered by the yellow sand that blew up from the Gobi Desert at any moment.
He carefully brushed away the yellow sand that covered the blood and then looked at the traces of the Earth Sinking Spell on the side. He could tell that someone had fallen into it and used the Stone Thrusting Spell to get himself out of it.
It seemed that this was the scene where the bounty hunter had met with an accident.
The middle-aged man slowly stood up, pulled out his Eye of Truth from his belt, and chanted an incantation. The next moment, a Sea Green flew out from his Eye of Truth, wanting to fly toward the Northwest.
However, before the Sea Green could fly far, the ground suddenly exploded. The middle-aged man hurriedly wanted to retreat and cast a spell, but he realized that it was too late.
Amidst the yellow sand and dust that were stirred up, a black saber cut through everything at lightning speed and then pierced through the Magi's heart.
Old Xu, who was wearing a white mask, followed the momentum of the saber and stuck close to the middle-aged Magi, as if hugging him. It twisted the black saber in its hand and completely crushed all the vitality of the other party before slowly laying the middle-aged Magi flat on the ground.
Old Xu took the Eye of Truth from the middle-aged Magi. The other party's fingers were clenched very tightly, as if he still had a great attachment and reluctance to part with this stone even after his death.
Ren Xiaosu controlled Old Xu to hold the Eye of Truth in his hand and carefully size it up. It seemed that it wasn't that difficult to make the Eye of Truth. All he had to do was wait for the enemy to give it to him.
He controlled Old Xu to put the Eye of Truth into his pocket before he officially started the job of destroying the corpse.
Previously, Ren Xiaosu had kept all of this because he wanted to see if there was a chance to catch something else …
