Mego, nicknamed Xiao Mei, was not a genius. His family was in decline, and he was forced by a top wizard family to be a shepherd at the frontier for two years. His childhood sweetheart had also been taken away to be a fiancée.
This kind of life could only be described as miserable.
To be honest, one of the main reasons why Ren Xiaosu had chosen Mego to be the person in charge of the Northwest branch of Daxing was that he pitied Mego …
However, at this moment, Ren Xiaosu was really shocked. He had thought that only he and Yang Xiaojin had the purest relationship in the whole world. Now, it seemed like Xiao Mei and Xiao Xia were also legendary.
The girl was about to be forced to marry someone else, yet she still secretly asked someone to send money to her ex-boyfriend. What a touching love story.
However, Ren Xiaosu was a little confused. "Why did you have to be so sneaky when you were going to send money? You could have just sent it openly. "
Chen Jingshu was silent for two seconds before she said, "Of course, we also had to help Summer retrieve some things."
Ren Xiaosu asked tentatively, "Love letters?"
At this moment, Chen Anan's expression changed. "How did you know?"
"I was just testing him," Ren Xiaosu said with a sigh.
When Chen Anan said he wanted to steal the book, Ren Xiaosu had thought about it for a long time. What kind of book collection did a mere warlock like Mego have that was worth stealing? Even the Outline of Witchcraft was a product that had been edited countless times. If there really were any secrets in it, they would have long been lost to history.
Therefore, the only special book left was the love letter.
Back then, Mego had foolishly taken out the love letters, and it had been a lucky guess.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Chen Jingshu. "Since she's a descendant of Russell, why didn't she live underground with you? Why did she live on the dangerous surface?"
According to Mego, this Miss Xia had always lived on the surface. In other words, the family of Russell's descendants had always been hidden under the nose of the Tudors.
This was too dangerous.
"If there are traitorous servants, there will naturally be loyal servants." This time, it was the man who led the way earlier who took off his hood and answered, "Back then, in order to help Russell's descendants hide their tracks, Russell's remaining 17 servants were all sacrificed. They brought Russell's descendants and escaped from Ghent City. However, at that time, the Sorcerer Nation had just been established, and Ghent City was the only city in the entire nation. It was too difficult for people without survival experience outside, and they also had to face the encirclement of the Tudor Knight Order."
The man leading the way was already middle-aged. There was a long scar on his face that extended from his brow to his chin.
At a glance, Ren Xiaosu knew that the scar was caused by someone using a knife. He could even guess what happened during the battle.
At that moment, someone faced the man and slashed at him head-on. That person turned his head to dodge, and only then did he manage to escape.
"In the end, they took the risk and sent Russell's descendants back to Ghent City. They were placed in a family's care," the man continued, "That family was Russell's servants in his early years. Because of a theft, they were expelled by Russell and left to fend for themselves. However, when the real danger came, they stepped forward bravely again and made the greatest sacrifice for Russell's descendants. "
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself that Russell's charisma was indeed very strong. He was indeed a legend of his generation. This servant who was expelled from the family could actually repay his old master.
However, he was curious, "The greatest sacrifice? What did they sacrifice? "
The man looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "At that time, Ghent City was under martial law. The Tudor family offered a high reward for clues to Russell's descendants. At that time, reports were common in the city. Even the slightest movement in the family would be reported by others. Suddenly having a child in the servant's house couldn't escape the observation of the neighbors, so this servant killed his own child and buried him in the backyard. Then, he treated Russell's child as his own. Fortunately, Russell's descendants were about the same age as the servant's son. That was why they were able to deceive everyone. "
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "The sacrifice was too great."
In this world, people often said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs. One's own flesh and blood were related to each other by blood. However, this servant sacrificed his own son to protect the bloodline of his old master.
"In the next hundred years or so, Russell's descendants changed their names and went into hiding. They continued to live under the identity of that servant's family. They passed on the information of the past generation after generation, waiting for the opportunity to take revenge." The man said, "It wasn't until a few decades ago that we found clues about them."
"So you started planning revenge?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"That's right. What the Tudor family owed the Templars and the Russell family had to be repaid together," the man said.
"Then how did you get the naive and sweet Lil 'Meg involved? Did you want to make use of him?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
"Of course not. Meg was someone Miss Summer really liked. The two of them grew up together. However, after Miss Summer found out about the family's hatred, she changed her mind." The man said, "She appeared in front of people as a genius and plotted to make the eldest grandson of the Tudor family like her so that she could enter the inner circle of the Tudor family. Wizard Meg was a beautiful accident, but with the family's hatred in front of her, she could only choose to give up her love. In order not to implicate Meg, she asked us to retrieve all the letters and told Wizard Meg to stop thinking about her. "
Chen Jingshu added, "If you hadn't appeared, then everything would have gone according to our plan."
"And after the revenge?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"After that, Miss Summer will be the leader and continue with the reform." The man said, "Miss Summer is very opinionated. Like her ancestor, she has the natural temperament of a leader."
Ren Xiaosu muttered in his heart, "Could it be that the purpose of this girl, who is destined to become the new leader, is retrieving the letters because she doesn't want others to know that she went to catch frogs with a boy when she was young?"
However, at this moment, the man suddenly changed the topic and said, "Miss Summer has also joined the Templars, so it's not considered as a betrayal of her beliefs if she becomes the new leader. But now, it seems that a more suitable candidate has appeared. "
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "Meg?"
The man's breath stagnated for a moment. "I'm talking about you."
"Are you sure that I have something to do with your organization?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "Just because I mentioned the Knight and Ren He?"
"No." The man shook his head. "The Templars have always kept a photo of their founder. Zhang Haoyun met you in Winston City, and he sent back a message saying that you look almost exactly like the person in the photo. Of course, we can still see some differences. That person's temperament of a leader is far better than yours."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly understood that what should come would come sooner or later, and he would know what he should know sooner or later.
