“Do you know about the organization that was established by the Central Plains Rider?” Ren Xiaosu asked Melgor. *

Tve never heard you mention them before.’

ince they helped the Magi survive The Cataclysm, their reputation should be as prominent as Russell’s after the disaster passed. At the minimum, everyone should know of their existence, but

‘When Melgor heard that, he pondered it for amoment before saying, “I had the same questions as you when I first read The Sorcerer Chronicles, but please believe me when I tell you I’ve really never heard of them before.”

“How can that be?” Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled.

“Perhaps they did not follow the orders of that Central Plains rider?” Melgor analyzed.

“That can’t be.” Ren Xiaosu had met the Riders before. How could such a cohesive group with strong faith suddenly turn against each other?

“Or they could have all perished in The Cataclysm?* Melgor raised another possibility.

“Perhaps.” Ren Xiaosu sighed. The Cataclysm that affected the entire world was way too terrifying. Although it was a little unacceptable that all of the Riders might have died in it, it was not impossible.

But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu had another thought. Something was not right. If they were dead, the palace would not have guided him to search for these clues in the first place.

He still had three more clues to look for. If the organization had been wiped out, where was he supposed to find those clues?

The palace would not mess with him. Therefore, there had to still be some clues regarding the organization Ren He had established here. However, for some reason, they just did not appear in the history of the Magi.

It looked like he would have to slowly try his luck.

‘Then Ren Xiaosu asked another question, “By the way, what happened to Russell in the end? I don’t think it was mentioned in The Sorcerer Chronicles either.”

“The author didn’t mention it. ‘m guessing he probably didn’t know or was afraid to write about it,” Melgor said.

“Why’s that?” Ren Xiaosu was taken aback.

“My father related to me the unofficial history and mentioned that Russell died three years after helping the Magi survive The Cataclysm. However, his cause of death has always remained a mystery,” Melgor explained. “The magus order’s explanation to the public was that Russell had suddenly died from

excess fatigue before quickly cremating him.”

Without an autopsy or anyone investigating the cause of death, Russell was cremated just like that.

“So that made a lot of people suspicious of the circumstance?” Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.

“It’s not only that.” Melgor said softly, “More importantly, Russell’s black Eye of True Sight fell into the hands of the House of Tudor after that. You also know that humans are naturally suspicious creatures. How can an important matter that involves the transfer of something that everyone’s so interested in

not arouse the suspicions of others?”

“And after that?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“After that?” Melgor chuckled. “The Tudors went on to become the most powerful clan in the Kingdom of Sorcerers. Whether it be in the magus order or the secular world, their influence grew to be the largest. With a black Eye of True Sight in their control, they were able to possess such authority even

though they were not as talented as Russell.”

Ren Xiaosu nodded. If there were interests involved, that speculation might very well be true.

At the very least, Ren Xiaosu was more inclined to believe that Russell had been murdered.

“Eh?” Ren Xiaosu was surprised. “Why does the Tudor family sound so familiar? Isn’t that the house of your love interest’s fiancé?”

Melgor said with a bitter laugh, “Yes, that’s why I don’t hold much hope of winning her back. You said you wanted to help me get her back, but it’s better that you don’t make such claims in public, Even if there were a 100 of us combined, we couldn’t shake the Tudor family. Moreover, you haven’t even become

asorcerer yet.”

Every time Ren Xiaosu heard this, he was so tempted to tell Melgor openly, “You know nothing about the Stronghold Destroyer’s power.”

Even if he couldnt single-handedly wipe out the Tudor family, he could return to Fortress 178 and bring back a train full of people on the steam locomotive to flatten the Tu-Manor!

Of course, Tudor was their clan name, and there was no such thing as the Tu-Manor. Ren Xiaosu was only thinking this way to make himself feel more imposing.

As the saying went, the unknown is scariest. Previously, he did not understand much about the Kingdom of Sorcerers, so he was always worried there were some particularly powerful people hiding here, or they had some particularly devastating ways of dealing with enemies.

But from the look of things, the Kingdom of Sorcerers that had been around for 200 years was close to ruin.

Ren Xiaosu said to Melgor, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you get her back.”

Melgor muttered, “You’re bragging again. When will you change that habit of yours?”

Ren Xiaosu just smiled and did not explain anything.

At some point, he truly felt that Melgor was born to be a protagonist. Not only did he encounter Ren Xiaosu, who would become his biggest benefactor, but he had also offended the most powerful clan in the Kingdom of Sorcerers.

If a story were told depicting Melgor, the moment he met Ren Xiaosu would probably be the beginning of the story, while Ren Xiaosu helping him destroy the Tudor family would be the end of it.

Ren Xiaosu liked storylines like this a lot. It made him feel like a big shot who helped the protagonist from behind the scenes.

“Let’s eat,’ Melgor said to Ren Xiaosu.

With that, Melgor even asked the maids to bring out some fine wine from the cellar of the Sorcerer’s Tower.

Then Ren Xiaosu watched Melgor sit at the end of the long dining table and eat a spoonful of spicy tofu before elegantly taking a sip of the fine red wine.

Furthermore, Melgor looked like he was enjoying the meal a great deal, and his table manners were extremely classy.

It was not that Ren Xiaosu looked down on the spicy tofu and shredded pork with garlic sauce dishes. On the contrary, he loved shredded pork with garlic sauce the most.

But the problem was that he had attended a gala at the Yang Consortium in the past and roughly knew how the upper class would act posh. The Kingdom of Sorcerers should have been the birthplace of that “sophistication,” but why did it suddenly become a melting pot of culture?!

At this moment, Melgor praised, “The shredded pork with garlic sauce is a heavenly dish. It’s prepared from the best quality carrots and tenderloin cooked together with soaked, fresh wood ear mushrooms and julienned bamboo shoots. It’s paired with an exquisite seasoning that makes it unforgettable after

having just a bite. After eating a bite of shredded pork with garlic sauce, the oils that stay in your mouth are just enough to offset the astringency of the wine. Quick, have a taste of my tower’s head chef’s cooking,”

This was the first time that Ren Xiaosu had heard someone talking about shredded pork with garlic sauce in such a classy manner. He estimated that if the Central Plains culture were to assimilate the Kingdom of Sorcerers for a few more years, Melgor might even start pairing his wine with a bite of garlic

after every sip.

After all, food paired with garlic tasted most fantastic.

‘When it was nighttime, Ren Xiaosu went to the bedroom Melgor had allotted to him to sleep. The velvet blanket was exceptionally soft.

However, he did not sleep. Instead, he quietly flipped through The Sorcerer Chronicles while waiting patiently for something.

“Old Xu’ had climbed onto the roof and was hiding in the shadows of the tower’s cupola, ready to spring into the hunt at any moment.

Ren Xiaosu was not worried about danger arriving. He was only worried the prey would not bite..
