"Do you know anything about the organization left behind by the Knight of Middle Earth?" Ren Xiaosu asked Mego. "Since they helped the wizards avoid the Cataclysm, their reputation should be as prominent as Russell's after such a matter of life and death. At the very least, everyone should be familiar with them, but I've never heard you mention them before."
After hearing this, Mego pondered for a moment and said, "I actually had the same doubts when I read the Sorcerer's Journal. But please believe me, I've never heard of them before."
"How could that be?" Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled.
"Maybe they didn't follow the orders of the Knight of Middle Earth?" Mego analyzed.
"No." Ren Xiaosu had seen the Knight Organization before. It was a cohesive and religious group. How could they suddenly turn traitor?
"Then it's also possible that they all died in the Cataclysm?" Mego suggested another possibility.
"Maybe." Ren Xiaosu sighed. The Cataclysm that affected the entire world was indeed a little too terrifying. Although it was a little hard to accept that all the Knight had died in it, it was not impossible.
However, at this moment, Ren Xiaosu changed his mind. That was not right. If they were all dead, there was no way the palace could guide him to find these clues.
He still had three clues to find. If this organization had already been destroyed, how could he find so many clues?
The palace would not joke with him, so there must be some clues about the organization that Ren He had established here. However, for some unknown reason, they did not appear in the history of the wizards.
It seemed like he would have to try his luck slowly.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu asked another question, "Oh right, what happened to Russell in the end? I don't think it was written in the Sorcerer's Journal either."
"He didn't write it. I'm guessing that the author didn't know either, or he didn't dare to write about it," Mego said.
"What happened?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment.
"When my father told me about the unofficial history, he mentioned that Russell died three years after the wizards escaped from the cataclysm. However, the cause of his death has always been a mystery," Meg explained. "The explanation given by the wizard organization was that Russell suddenly died of exhaustion, and his body was quickly cremated."
There was no autopsy, and no one investigated the cause of death. He was cremated just like that.
"So this made many people suspicious?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"That's not all." Meg said softly, "The most important thing is that Russell's black Eye of Truth eventually fell into the hands of the Tudor family. You also understand that humans are creatures that are good at being suspicious. How could such a transfer of important interests not arouse suspicion?"
"And then?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"And then?" Mego smiled, "Later on, the Tudor family became the biggest family in the Sorcerer Country, whether it was within the Sorcerer Organisation or in the secular world. With the black Eye of Truth in their hands, they possess such power, even if they aren't as talented as Russell. "
Ren Xiaosu nodded. If it was related to the interests of the Tudor family, then the speculation was likely to be true.
At the very least, he was more willing to believe that Russell had been murdered.
"Eh?" Ren Xiaosu was surprised. "Why does the Tudor family sound so familiar? Is it the fiancé's family of that girl you like?"
Meg said with a wry smile, "That's right. That's why I don't actually have much hope. You said you would help me get my lover back, but it's better if we talk about this in private. Even if there were a hundred of us, we wouldn't be able to shake the Tudor family. Besides, you're not even a warlock yet."
Every time Ren Xiaosu heard this, he would want to openly say to Meg, "You know nothing about the power of the Stronghold Destroyer."
Regardless of whether he could destroy the Tudor family by himself, even if he really couldn't, he could still return to Fortress 178 first and use the steam locomotive to bring a whole train of people back to flatten the "Dujia Village"!
Of course, the Tudor family was just a surname, and there was no such thing as "Dujia Village." Ren Xiaosu was only thinking this way to make himself appear more imposing.
As the saying went, the unknown was always scary. Previously, he did not know much about the Warlock Nation, so he was always worried that there was a particularly powerful figure hidden here or that they had some particularly powerful means up their sleeves.
But from the looks of it, the Warlock Nation, which had been around for 200 years, was on the verge of decay.
Ren Xiaosu said to Meg, "Don't worry, I'll definitely get it done for you."
Meg muttered, "You're bragging again. When will you change your habit of bragging?"
Ren Xiaosu smiled but did not say anything. He did not explain too much.
At some point, he really felt that Meg was born to be a protagonist. Not only had he met the most powerful person in the world, Ren Xiaosu, but he had also offended the most powerful family in the Warlock Nation.
If there was really a story about Meg, then the moment he met Ren Xiaosu would be the beginning of the story, and the moment Ren Xiaosu helped him destroy the Tudor family would be the end of the story.
Ren Xiaosu liked this kind of plot very much. He was like a big boss hidden behind the scenes …
"Let's eat," Meg said to Ren Xiaosu.
As he spoke, Meg also ordered the maid to fetch some good wine from the Warlock Tower's wine cellar.
Then, Ren Xiaosu watched as Meg sat at the end of the long dining table, eating a spoonful of Mapo Tofu, and then elegantly drinking a mouthful of top-notch wine.
Moreover, Meg seemed to be enjoying it very much, and his movements were extremely elegant …
It was not that Ren Xiaosu looked down on Mapo Tofu and Yuxiang Shredded Pork. On the contrary, his favorite dish was Yuxiang Shredded Pork.
However, the problem was that he had participated in the Yang Clan's banquet before, so he had a rough idea of how the upper class acted. Originally, the Sorcerer Nation should be the birthplace of the so-called "style". Why was the culture of the Sorcerer Nation suddenly mixed up?!
At this moment, Meg exclaimed, "This Yuxiang Shredded Pork is really a delicacy. It uses the best carrots and tenderloin, along with freshly foamed fungus and shredded bamboo shoots, and is cooked with exquisite seasoning. After eating the Yuxiang Shredded Pork, the oil left in your mouth just happened to offset the sourness of the wine. Come, have a taste of the Head Chef of the Sorcerer Tower. "
This was the first time Ren Xiaosu had heard someone describe the Yuxiang Shredded Pork in such a high-end way. He reckoned that if the Middle Earth culture were to assimilate into the Sorcerer Nation for a few more years, Meg would probably have to pair it with a mouthful of garlic when drinking red wine.
After all, eating meat without garlic would be half the taste …
At night, Ren Xiaosu went to the bedroom that Meg had assigned to him to rest. The velvet blanket was unusually soft.
However, he did not sleep. Instead, he quietly flipped through the Sorcerer's Journal while waiting patiently.
Old Xu had already climbed up to the roof and was hiding in the shadows under the spire, ready to hunt at any time.
Ren Xiaosu was not worried that danger would appear. He was only worried that his prey would not come.
