The Sorcerer Nation was not the most affected by the Cataclysm. It was only affected by the sudden cold weather, but there was no radiation or explosions.
At that time, Ren He could have beaten Russell up. So, even if the Cataclysm came, as long as the Knight stayed in the Sorcerer Nation, he would definitely be able to survive.
But Ren He's choice was different. Just like he said, he had his responsibilities.
So, on the eve of the Cataclysm, which was also the eve of the global war, he chose to return to his hometown and found another way to survive with his group of people.
He succeeded, but it was at the cost of his life.
"What did he leave in the Russell family?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"A sealed box with no password," Xia replied. "It's hidden in the Rose Abbey in Ghent."
"Rose Abbey?" Ren Xiaosu was confused.
"Yes, it used to be the Russell family's property. After my ancestor was persecuted, Ghent City took over the place and built a abbey," Xia replied.
The so-called abbey was actually a place like a small church. It was basically filled with the statues of the Norman family or the Tudor family.
This was because Ghent City was so big that it was several times bigger than Vaduz City.
So, the residents here could not gather in front of the big church to worship. At the beginning of every month, everyone would put on their red robes and go to the abbey near their home. There would naturally be a young wizard there to host the ceremony.
It was quite ironic that the place of harm had been built into a monastery.
"When can I go get it?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"When we're done with the underground, I'll go with you," Xia said. "But before that, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
At this moment, Xiaoxia glanced at Xiaomei and said to Ren Xiaosu, "Can you take him away from Ghent City? As a reward, I'm willing to give you a Golden Eye of Truth, as well as the manuscript of my ancestor's Witchcraft General Principles. There are a lot of records of witchcraft and meditation diagrams, all of which are high-level witchcraft. "
At this moment, Xiao Mei had been standing at the side, feeling bored for a long time. Ren Xiaosu was chatting with his sweetheart, but he was like air …
However, the two people in front of him were talking about serious matters, and it was a serious matter that he could not interrupt.
Xiao Mei also wanted to join the conversation, but she really didn't know what to say.
Saying that he didn't want to leave Xiao Xia? It seemed like he, a man, was being too unreasonable.
With Ren Xiaosu's protection, he would be fine, so he didn't have to leave Ghent City? It seemed like the atmosphere of society was too heavy …
When Xiao Mei heard that Xiao Xia wanted to drive him away again, he hurriedly winked at Ren Xiaosu, hoping that Ren Xiaosu would help him.
Ren Xiaosu understood and said, "Are you in a hurry to go to the toilet?"
"I'm not going to the toilet," Mei said angrily. "I'm not leaving Ghent City!"
"Can't you just say it out loud?" Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. "If you don't even dare to say a word of rebuttal when someone asks you to leave, what will you do in the future? Don't worry, I won't take you back to the south. Since we're already here, we have to make some noise. "
Xiao Xia frowned. "The Golden Eye of Truth is the highest price I can offer."
"What's important isn't what you can offer, but what I want to do," Ren Xiaosu said. "Do you really think those rich kids are sincere about doing things with you? Just look at how they're so hierarchical. After you overthrow the old nobles, they can only create some new nobles. "
"Of course, I don't plan to rely on them completely," Xiao Xia said calmly. "Right now, I'm just making the Tudors pay with their blood. As for overthrowing the old nobles' rule, there's still a long way to go."
This time, Ren Xiaosu understood. Xiao Xia was not an impatient person. He was planning to do it bit by bit.
Xiao Xia continued, "Although I don't know why you brought Mei to Ghent City, do you know that you're putting him in danger by doing this?"
"Before this, Mei told me that his sweetheart was very opinionated, but no one told me that you're Russell's descendant, and that you're so opinionated." Ren Xiaosu thought about it and said, "But I'm very curious. Since you're so worried about him, why didn't you send someone to protect him when he was sent to the frontier fortress?"
"Of course I got the people from the Holy Church to protect him. It was only when they realized he wasn't in too much danger that the Holy Church retreated." Xiao Xia said, "Not only that, but to prevent him from starving to death, there were even specialized gladiators who secretly sent him food, clothes, and medicine on a regular basis."
Mei exclaimed, "Didn't I hire them with money?"
Xiao Xia glanced at Mei. "The money you gave them wasn't enough at all. No one would go to such a dangerous place again and again for that little bit of money."
"I see." Ren Xiaosu nodded.
The case had finally been solved. Ren Xiaosu had been thinking about this matter before. Mei, a warlock who did not even know how to survive in the wilderness, was sent to investigate at Fortress 178. How did he survive for the past two years when he was not even good enough to survive in the wilderness?
So it turned out that he was also Xiao Xia's backup plan.
Ren Xiaosu had to admit that this girl was really methodical when it came to doing things. She was someone who could do great things.
Xiao Mei, on the other hand, had been living off a woman for a long time.
Thinking about it, Ren Xiaosu even decided to support Xiao Xia as the person in charge of Daxing's Northwest branch. No matter what, she seemed to be more suitable than Mei.
Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. "Why are you so good to him?"
Xiao Xia said, "He's too naive. If no one protects him, he'll get hurt."
Ren Xiaosu was shocked. How was this fucking love? This was practically motherly love!
But no matter what it was, it was still a matter between the two of them.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Mei. "Do you understand? She said she doesn't want you to get involved because she's just afraid she'll get you into trouble. You should work harder and stop making her worry. Do you know what to do?"
Mei nodded vigorously. "Got it!"
"Then what do you plan to do?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I'll just stay by your side obediently. With your protection, she won't have to worry," Mei said.
Ren Xiaosu: "???"
Ren Xiaosu was so angry that he laughed. But thinking about it carefully, Mei's decision was the smartest!
If he were to let Xiao Mei practice witchcraft now, he would not be able to become a Great Wizard without at least eight to ten years. Hence, in a situation where his own efforts were useless, he might as well pick up his self-awareness and not cause trouble for everyone else.
With Ren Xiaosu's protection, not many people in this huge Ghent City could do anything to him.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether Mei was really stupid or just pretending to be …
Ren Xiaosu said to Xiao Xia, "Don't worry. Mei will be fine with me protecting him. I won't ask you what your plan is, and you don't have to ask me what my plan is either. I'll take action after I get what Ren He left behind. Then, all you need to do is wait for an opportunity. "
"What opportunity?" Xiao Xia asked in confusion.
"I've created an opportunity for y 'all." Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "I've told Chen Jingshu the same thing before. My arrival from the Central Plains is the best opportunity for y' all to overthrow the rule of the old shaman aristocrats."
Xiao Xia looked at Mei in surprise after hearing this. Mei sighed and said, "You'll get used to it. Besides, I can't refute it."
Xiao Xia sized up Ren Xiaosu in front of her. Although she didn't know where Ren Xiaosu got his confidence from, for some reason, she chose to believe him from the bottom of her heart.
Suddenly, she remembered what her grandfather said to her before he passed away. "If one day, someone from Middle Earth comes looking for clues about the Knight, you can ask them for help if you have any difficulties."
"It's a magical country, and that Knight is the most magical person in that country."
At that time, Xiao Xia was still Xiao Xiao Xia and didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. She often wondered if that Knight could really be trusted by the entire Russell family.
Xiao Xia suddenly said, "My grandfather told me that when the Knight took the Eye of Truth, he promised that when the Russell family needed it, he would do something for the Russell family as compensation. If he's not around at that time, it'll be done by his descendant. You're his descendant, so can I trust you? "
Ren Xiaosu thought about it. Since Ren He had taken the Eye of Truth to save him, he was naturally willing to fulfill the promise made by the Eye of Truth. "Sure, what do you want me to do? Destroy the Tudor family? "
"No," Xiao Xia shook her head. "Protect Xiao Mei. Can you?"
"Yes, but this matter doesn't count. This is a promise I made to Xiao Mei, so I'll naturally do it," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile. "Alright, keep this opportunity for now. We'll talk about it when you need it. You two can continue chatting. I'll go in and have a good chat with my wizard friends. "
After saying that, Ren Xiaosu stepped into the Gate of Secret Keys.
Xiao Mei suddenly felt that what Ren Xiaosu said about having a good chat with his wizard friends was not that simple …
At that moment, there was no one else in the passageway. Xiao Mei slowly walked towards Xiao Xia. The Eastern Dragon God painted on the wall was quiet, as if it couldn't bear to disturb them.
On the other side, Ren Xiaosu looked at the scene behind the Gate of Secret Keys and was a little stunned. This was because he was no longer underground, but on top of a tall, grey brick steeple.
Outside the steeple was a cliff, and below the cliff was the turbulent sea.
The blue sea slapped against the reefs and set off white waves. In the distance, there was the sparkling sea.
The endless sea made Ren Xiaosu's heart feel endless grandeur in an instant. Then, there was endless peace.
This was probably the sea that Li Shentan wanted to see. Ren Xiaosu wondered if he had seen it yet.
Ren Xiaosu turned his head. The others had already entered the steeple through the stairs of the steeple. Only Xu Anqing was still waiting there.
She smiled and said, "Is this the first time you've seen the sea?"
"It shouldn't be the first time." Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "There's always an inexplicable sense of familiarity when I see the sea, but I've probably forgotten what I've seen in the past."
"This is the Gate of Secret Keys opened by An 'an's father." Xu Anqing said, "Every time he comes back here, he'll come to the top of the wizard tower alone and sit there. Sometimes, he'll sit there for a day and a night. I asked him why he looked at the sea. I thought he would say that looking at the sea can make people feel broadened, but he told me that after looking at the sea, people will feel awe. "
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, but he soon felt that this sentence was very interesting. In front of the magnificent world and the sea, people were indeed too small.
At this moment, Xu Anqing asked, "I wonder how you feel when you look at the sea?"
"Serenity." Ren Xiaosu replied, "By the way, you said that this Gate of Secret Keys was opened by An 'an's father and specifically emphasized this. Could it be that the Gate of Secret Keys is different for everyone?"
"The Gate of Secret Keys was the exclusive witchcraft of the Russell family before The Cataclysm. Later, in order to show his determination to break the family's barriers, the Russell family publicized this witchcraft as an example," Xu Anqing explained. "However, this Gate of Secret Keys has a special characteristic. A person can only open it once in their lifetime. Once it's opened, it'll be fixed in one place forever."
"What if the person who opened the Gate of Secret Keys died?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"The Gate of Secret Keys won't disappear," Xu Anqing said. "There's only one way to destroy the Gate of Secret Keys: completely change the terrain of the place where the Gate of Secret Keys is located. For example, destroy the wall we just came in from."
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "That's too dangerous. If someone outside destroys the wall, won't we all be trapped here?"
Xu Anqing suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was cautious by nature.
When others passed through the Gate of Secret Keys, they were immediately attracted by the magic of this witchcraft, but the young man's first concern was how to get back!
"Don't worry," Xu Anqing explained with a smile. "If someone destroys it from the outside, then all of us who passed through the Gate of Secret Keys will 'fall' out. So there's no such thing as not being able to return home."
"Where is this?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"We're not sure where this is either. After it was opened, it became our secret base." Xu Anqing shook his head and said, "We only know that the place where the Gate of Secret Keys opens must be in the same space-time as where we are now."
"Is there any pattern to the opening of this Gate of Secret Keys?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"It's probably the place that a person wants to go to the most?" Xu Anqing said, "I once had a friend who was often worried about frequent urination. So when he opened the Gate of Secret Keys, the back of the door turned out to be his family's toilet …"
"What are you talking about?" Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The door really opens wherever you want to go the most?"
"That's probably the case, but it's also very random," Xu Anqing said meaningfully.
"What does this randomness mean?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Everyone might not know where they want to go the most in the deepest part of their heart."
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time after hearing this. He had to admit that there was a hint of philosophy in these words …
Then he asked, "Are there any flaws in the Gate of Secret Keys?"
"Of course there are." Xu Anqing said, "The Gate of Secret Keys is fixed. If you want to reach the 'other side' through it, you have to go to a fixed place, which can be quite troublesome sometimes. Just like Chen Anan's father, if he wanted to go to the seaside, he had to go to the underground of Ghent City. "
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly took out a big iron door from his storage space and asked, "Then if I open it directly on this door and carry it with me, will I be able to carry the Gate of Secret Keys with me?"
Xu Anqing was a little confused as he stood at the top of the wizard tower in the sea breeze. "It should … work, right?"
He looked at Ren Xiaosu's serious face and suddenly felt a little helpless. Logically speaking, the Gate of Secret Keys should be able to be carried with him through this method, but the problem was, why the hell did he carry an iron door with him?
Where did he get it from?!
