In the dead of the night, when everyone was asleep, Mego suddenly asked, "How did you do it?"
At this moment, the frightened horses had been calmed down by Qian Weining and the others. The entire campsite was quiet, so Mego and Ren Xiaosu had to lower their voices when they spoke.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Mego, but he did not answer Mego's question. "What's your dream?"
"Dream?" Mego was stunned for a moment. At this moment, he felt as if Ren Xiaosu was his life mentor …
"Yes, dream," Ren Xiaosu repeated.
"I don't have any dreams," Mego said in a low voice. "When I was young, my biggest wish was for my father to stop gambling on stones and chase his dream of becoming a wizard."
"Have you talked to your father before?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I have, but he said that as long as there is no wizard in the family, the entire family's wealth will just be someone else's money bag. Someone can take it away at any time," Mego said in a low voice. "Of course, I also understand this logic. Power is the castle that protects money. Otherwise, money will only dissipate like quicksand."
"Actually, the purchase of the Eye of Truth is just a scam set up by the wizard organization," Ren Xiaosu lamented. "And it's specifically used to target middle-class people like you."
"Yes, I understand," Mego said. "You asked me what my dream is. Actually, I don't have any dreams or ambitions at all. It's just that after I became a wizard, I remembered that this was an opportunity that my father had exchanged his life for. So, I decided to make a name for myself no matter what."
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, It's good that you don't have any dreams or ambitions. Daxing's Northwest branch needs such a talent.
"Oh right, Ren Xiaosu, do you have any dreams?" Mego asked in return.
"Me?" Ren Xiaosu recalled for a moment and said with a smile, "I don't have any either. In the past, I only wanted to live with my brother. Now, I want to live with a group of people. It's not really a dream. I'm more like a nobody who goes with the flow in this era. It's just that the era needs me to appear, so I appeared."
In summary, Ren Xiaosu's past 19 years of life was indeed like duckweed that went with the flow. He did not want to go to the places he went, but was forced to go.
He went to the Li Clan, to the Yang Clan, to the Central Plains, to the Sacred Mountain, to the Zuoyun Mount, and to the Zhou Clan. He had no other choice. Only the Northwest was the decision that he had to make.
But what could he do? Even people of noble birth like Qing Zhen, Luo Lan, and Yang Xiaojin had to struggle in this era. As a young refugee, he was already very lucky to be where he was today.
In this era, everyone had their own sorrows. The only thing everyone could do was to swim upstream when they were drowning, until they struggled out of the water and breathed in that breath of fresh air.
But the most despairing thing was that just when you thought you were safe, the next wave might already be coming.
Mego asked again, "What's your purpose in coming to the Sorcerer Nation?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and replied, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell you. In the beginning, I wanted to destroy the Sorcerer Nation. But after I met you, I changed my mind. Now, my plan is to support you in managing the Sorcerer Nation!"
Mego felt that he must have gone crazy. He actually heard such casual yet extremely violent words from a person's mouth …
Mego lowered his voice and shouted, "Am I crazy or are you crazy? Destroy the Sorcerer Nation? Support me in managing it? You know nothing about the power of those Sorcerer families! "
This time, Ren Xiaosu finally said what was on his mind. He smiled and said, "You know nothing about the power of the Northwest. Looking at the time, it's been almost a month since my people found out that I was being held hostage. They should be on their way."
Mego was stunned. "Who?"
"The people who wanted to turn the Sorcerer Nation upside down with me."
Mego was stunned for a long time. He suddenly realized that the content of the conversation had gone in a big circle. He still did not know how Ren Xiaosu had killed those people …
…
In the night, there were still two hundred soldiers who had attacked the caravan safely left. They rode their warhorses and galloped north, bypassing all the main roads. It was as if they had the ability to predict the future, and they managed to avoid the checkpoints set up by the Winston family.
This group of people had been lurking in the Winston family's territory for many years. Naturally, they knew how the Winston family would deal with any changes.
The leader of the Knight reined in his horse and stopped in the mountains. "Dismount."
With that, more than two hundred Knight jumped off their horses, pulled out the daggers at their waists, and stabbed the horses in the neck.
The horses fell with a loud crash. Next, they would have to take the mountain road, and the horses could not go up. Instead of leaving these warhorses to the Winston family, it was better to let them all die here.
One had to know that a warhorse was worth a lot of money in this year.
But the most important thing was that if they did not kill these warhorses, when the Winston family found them, they would lead the Winston family to their previous hiding place.
Of course, the horses did not know anything. They were just going home.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark, the group of Knight nimbly climbed over the low mountains. After walking for about ten kilometers, they finally found a small village at dawn.
The people in the village did not panic when they saw them. A middle-aged man who looked like a farmer led them into the village without saying a word.
The leader of the Knight called out to the villagers, "Prepare clothes and carriages. We will take a detour and evacuate from the Worth family's territory."
With that, everyone in the village got busy.
No one would have thought that this small village hidden in the mountains in the Winston family's territory was actually the evacuation station that the Tudors had arranged for a long time.
This place was only about 100 kilometers away from the Worth family's territory. As long as they were fast enough, they would be able to reach it within a day.
By then, the Worth family would naturally help them block the Winston family's pursuers.
The Worth family was as humble to the Tudors as the Winston family was to the Berkley family.
The leader of the Knight came to a secluded hut and closed the door. He said to the young man inside, "I want to pass on some information."
With that, the young man only hesitated for a moment before he took out his dagger and cut his wrist, letting the blood form a strange Blood Succession Magic Circle on the ground.
When the ice sculpture was formed, the Knight knelt down on one knee and said, "Honorable Kyle Jefferson William Chris Tudor, the mission has failed. That Mego has mastered the Norman family's Air Blast Spell. This is a trap set by the Norman family!"
The ice sculpture said, "Got it. You guys are hiding in the Worth family's territory. I will bring people to punish you personally."
