Melgor, otherwise known as Mel, barely had any great talents to speak of. His family’s status was in decline, and he was an ostracized sorcerer who had been sent to the border to herd sheep for two years by a top sorcerer clan. Meanwhile, his childhood sweetheart had been snatched away to become someone else’s fiancée.
Such a life could only be described as pathetic.
Honestly speaking, one of the most important reasons why Ren Xiaosu chose Mel to lead the Prosperous Northwest’s branch office was that he sympathized with him a little.
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu was really shocked. He had previously thought his relationship with Yang Xiaojin was the purest in the world. But now, it seemed that Mel and Summer’s relationship was also very legendary.
Seeing that Summer was about to be forced to marry someone else, she actually entrusted someone to quietly send money to her ex-boyfriend? What a touching love story!
However, Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. “Why did y’all act so sneakily when you’re only delivering some money? You could’ve just sent it over openly.”
Chen Jingshu stayed silent for a couple seconds before saying, “We still had to help Summer get some items back, of course.”
Ren Xiaosu probed, “Love letters?”
Chen An’an’s expression changed. “How did you know?”
“I was just testing y’all.” Ren Xiaosu sighed.
When Chen An’an explained she had wanted to steal a book from the Sorcerer’s Tower, Ren Xiaosu thought about it for a long time. What kind of book would a junior sorcerer like Melgor have that was worth stealing? Even if they were after the Introduction to Sorcery, it was still a book that had been edited countless times. If there were really any secrets in it, they would have already been lost in history.
Therefore, the only book more notable was that fucking scrapbook of love letters.
Back then, when Melgor foolishly took out those love letters, it seemed he had somehow gotten it right by chance.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Chen Jingshu. “Since she’s Russell’s descendant, why didn’t she live in the underground with y’all and instead lived on the dangerous surface?”
Based on what Melgor had said, Summer had always been living on the surface. In other words, Russell’s descendants had always been hidden right under the noses of the House of Tudor.
This was way too dangerous.
“If there’s treacherous servants, there’s naturally loyal ones as well.” This time, the man who led them here pulled back his hood and answered, “Back then, in order to help Russell’s descendant hide his whereabouts, all 17 of his remaining servants made a sacrifice by escaping from Ghent City with the child. But at that time, the Kingdom of Sorcerers had just been established. As Ghent City was the only city in the entire kingdom, those without any survival experience would find it tough living in the wilderness. Furthermore, they had to avoid being tracked down by the Knights of Tudor.”
