If Ren Xiaosu really wanted to make them stay, he could definitely do it. The battle might be very intense, but as long as Ren Xiaosu went all out, how could they possibly escape with so few people?
Did they really think the Stronghold Destroyer was a pushover?
However, Ren Xiaosu still had doubts about what the little witch had said before. What if the other party had denied it to hide her identity as a member of the Knight Organization?
Or what if someone in the organization knew even though she didn't know the inside story?
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu was willing to let her go and wait for her to pass on the news. He believed that when the little witch returned, someone would definitely ask her what had happened, and she would definitely voice out her doubts.
Of course, there was also another possibility: She was really sent by the Dudor family.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not afraid of such an outcome at all. As long as the entire Magus organization did not gang up on him, he could just leave on the steam locomotive and bring Zhou Yingxue and the others over to flatten the Dudor Village.
Now, even if the other party suspected him, they would definitely send some small fries over to solve the problem. How could those famous and pampered great Magi possibly rush over for such a small matter?
Although the battle tonight was intense, it wasn't very intense. Ren Xiaosu was sure of his judgment.
At this moment, York Town was already bustling with activity. The owner of the stable that the little witch had burned seemed to be a wealthy family. They were currently organizing people to put out the fire and also sent a group of people to arrest the arsonist.
From the looks of it, they had also discovered someone walking on the roof, so they concluded that someone had deliberately set the fire.
Ren Xiaosu did not want to get involved in this mess, so he simply circled around the rooftop and returned to the Magus Tower. He had thought that such a big commotion would wake Mego up, but in the end, he did not wake up at all.
After investigating for more than two years, Mego was really exhausted on the way back.
The next morning, Mego suddenly ran over and banged on Ren Xiaosu's door. "Something big happened! Something big happened!"
Ren Xiaosu got up helplessly and opened the door. "What's wrong?"
"Did you hear anything about what happened in the town last night?" said Mego.
"No, I was too tired and slept like a log. What happened?" Ren Xiaosu had a sleepy look on his face.
"That's true," Meg muttered. "I didn't notice it at all. But let me tell you, you have to be careful. This thing is coming for us!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. "What's going on? I thought you didn't notice it?"
"But someone saw the arsonist." Meg said, "I called someone over to ask about it this morning. They said someone saw a man wearing a white mask flying across the roof. Now everyone is saying that he's the arsonist!"
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
"Do you remember what happened on our way back?" Meg continued. That Magus with the white mask has already attacked us many times! "
Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had used Old Xu as a cover to deceive Mego, but now he had gotten himself into trouble. He wondered how Mego would react when he saw Old Xu in the future.
But one thing was for sure. He had probably made another contribution to Xu Xianchu's scapegoat …
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Could it be someone else?"
Mego said confidently, "It must be him! He must have been the one who released the pillar of fire. He was sent by the Tudors! "
Alright, Ren Xiaosu thought to himself. If you say so, then so be it. He did not bother explaining.
At this moment, Mego said, "It seems like he was discovered on his way here, so he set the fire to attract their attention and then escaped again. I think he'll definitely come again. You have to be careful. "
"Yeah, I'll be careful," Ren Xiaosu replied.
"Why do I feel like you're being a little perfunctory? I'm worried that he'll kill you. Aren't you afraid of death?" Mego panicked. He thought to himself that with such a powerful assassin lying in ambush, he could really die if he was not careful!
Ren Xiaosu changed the topic. "Oh right, do you have any books that are more precious?"
Mego was stunned for a moment. "No."
Ren Xiaosu pondered. Could stealing books be just a cover? He asked again, "Then do you have any books that are more special? Such as age? Or have a special meaning to you? "
Mego was stunned again. "How did you know?"
Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up. "Quick, show it to me!"
"That's not a good idea," Mego said awkwardly.
"What's wrong with that? I'm your personal attendant. What's wrong with looking at your books?" Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "I still have to help you get your sweetheart back!"
Mego hesitated for a long time. In the end, he went back to his bedroom and found a metal box. He handed it to Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath and opened the metal box …
"Are you serious?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I'm serious," Mego said. "What's wrong? You said you wanted something with a special meaning. This is very special to me. "
"But I didn't say I wanted to see the love letters between you and your childhood sweetheart. Is there something wrong with your brain?" Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt helpless. How did this guy become a wizard?
However, Ren Xiaosu thought about it again. Could there be some secret hidden in the love letters? For example, the other party wanted to tell Mego some information? But now, the other party had changed his mind and wanted to get these love letters back.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu endured the nauseating feeling and flipped through all the love letters. In the end, Ren Xiaosu looked up in shock. "How old were you when you wrote these?"
"Nine," Mego said matter-of-factly.
Ren Xiaosu stuffed the metal box back into Mego's arms. No wonder the two of them were discussing in the love letters whether they should secretly catch frogs the next day …
Catch frogs my ass! Started having feelings at the age of nine? Was there still any law?!
"Are there really no special books?" Ren Xiaosu was a little reluctant.
"There's really nothing else," Mego said.
This time, Ren Xiaosu could only be sure that the little witch was indeed lying to him. But if she wasn't here to steal the books, what else could she be here for? To peek at Mego bathing?!
Ren Xiaosu thought that even Mego wasn't that pretty!
"Then let me ask you," Ren Xiaosu asked again, "are there any differences between bounty hunters?"
Mego asked curiously, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Just asking," Ren Xiaosu said.
"There were some differences in the early years. Actually, in the beginning, bounty hunters liked to be chivalrous and often robbed the rich to help the poor." Mego said, "The wizard organizations surrounded them several times. Although they killed some of them, there were still some who hid in the dark and continued to be chivalrous. Their whereabouts were very secretive, and the people gradually began to worship them. They called them people who couldn't be killed for the sake of the gods."
"And then?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
Mego said, "Then the wizard organizations got people to disguise themselves as bounty hunters and do some very despicable things. Then, they used public opinion to spread the news, so the people immediately lost trust in them."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. Other things aside, the wizard organizations were really good at fighting!
