Chapter 1080, A Wasted Life in Exchange for a Sorcerer’s Identity

“What have you lost?” Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, “All these days I’ve noticed that you’ve been in a state of insomnia, and now you’re suddenly telling me that you’ve lost more than you’ve gained on the way to pursuing your sorcerer dream, what exactly have you been through?”

“And I’m not afraid to tell you that my Eye of True Sight doesn’t belong to me,” said Mego, “but to my father.”

“Wait a minute,” Ren Xiaosu found a logical error in the middle of this, “The two sheep people told me that if an elder passed away, the Eye of True Sight in his hand would be recovered by the Witch Organization, so how could you possibly have inherited this thing from your father?”

After saying that, Ren Xiaosu then looked at the two sheepmen wistfully, “Are you fooling me, or did the two of them fool me again?”

After the two sheepmen were punched by Ren Xiaosu, they couldn’t sleep anymore, at this time, they just walked to the campfire, then they saw Ren Xiaosu’s sorrowful eyes, then they suddenly hit a jolt and hurriedly shouted to Meiguo: “Lord Meiguo, don’t say half of what you’re saying, can you explain it clearly to him!”

Mei Ge also hurriedly pulled Ren Xiaosu, “Listen to me in detail!”

At this time, Mei Ge was crying and laughing inwardly, what’s wrong with this newly appointed personal attendant of his, this is also too bossy, right?

“As I said before, someone who wasted his life in pursuit of the wizard dream was actually talking about my father,” Meigo explained, “My family was originally located in the capital city of the wizard kingdom, Ghent City. When I was young, my family was well-off, and was considered a prominent family in Ghent City.”

Ren Xiaosu realized in a flash that there was really a story behind Meigo’s identity as a sorcerer.

He no longer interrupted Meigo, but quietly listened.

Mei Ge continued, “When I was a child, my family owned a huge manor outside of Ghent, and there were many properties within the city, and in the summer, someone would take out a large amount of ice from the cellar outside of the city and transport it to my home in the city to cool off. In the winter, fire dragons burned underneath the homes to keep them warm. There are countless servants in the house every day, and the Doctor alone, who is responsible for teaching me, is six in number.”

In the Sorcerer’s Kingdom, Doctor was not the name of a degree, but rather all people of high social status and knowledge were collectively called Doctor.

Meggo’s reminiscing look intensified, “I still remember that when I was particularly young, my father would take me to the stable outside Ghent to ride horses, teach me how to play polo, and would also take me along to the dueling arena in the middle of the city, to watch the hotly contested battles between the gladiators. The winning gladiators would receive cheers from the entire audience, and I couldn’t help but shout along with them; it was a show only socialites could watch, and the wizards loved it.”

“The reason why I wanted you to be a kinsman for me, Ren Kosu, was that I thought you had a chance to be a gladiator, and frankly, I needed such an opportunity to meet more celebrities and wizards so that I could enter the more central circle of wizards and leave my current fiefdom” said Mego.

“Then everything changed,” Meggo sighed, “My father wanted to become a sorcerer when he was young, it’s probably the dream of all the young people in the sorcerer’s land, the sorcerer’s organization is powerful and mysterious, and even able to override the royalty, which fills every teenager with visions. ”

“It’s just that a sorcerer isn’t something you can be just because you want to be one, and the Eye of True Sight isn’t something you can buy with money,” said Mego as she looked at Ren Xiaosu, “You need luck, very good, very good luck.”

“I slightly insert a question,” Ren Xiaosu was puzzled, “Could it be that you need luck to buy the Eye of True Vision, why can’t I understand it, isn’t it just a matter of handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other?”

“Of course not,” Mei Ge shook his head, “The Eye of True Vision wasn’t like this before it was unsealed, it was wrapped in a stone skin, and you need to peel off the outside stone skin to see whether what’s contained inside is the Eye of True Vision or an ordinary stone.”

Ren Xiaosu was shocked on the spot, isn’t this a fucking routine of gambling on stones over in the southwest?

Mei Ge explained, “This business is held by a certain great sorcerer’s family in the secular world, and ordinary people can rely on the method of betting on luck to obtain the Eye of True Sight, and the sorcerer organization will also recognize your status as an orthodox sorcerer. The black market of gambling stones in Ghent City is the craziest place in the entire wizard country, and for so many years there have always been legends of lucky people becoming wizards, attracting large numbers of people to gamble on the stones.”

“Then what’s the approximate true probability?” Ren Xiaosu wondered, “How many people have become sorcerers through such means?”

“Very, very low,” said Meiguo, “At least my father exhausted his family’s wealth and never became a true sorcerer.”

When Ren Xiaosu heard this he thought to himself, this sorcerer organization’s means of plundering wealth is also too ruthless, right, but they obviously already have actual control over the entire country, why do they still need to use such means to plunder wealth, compared to the economy and livelihoods, gambling on stones may not be able to bring about any qualitative changes for them, right?

No, Ren Xiaosu recalled the structure of the consortium in the Central Plains, in fact, the largest manufacturer of lipstick, was originally the Wang Clan consortium.

You say Wang’s such a big consortium even produces lipstick? Would this amount of money be in their eyes? The truth is, they make money from everything and don’t want to miss a dime.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Mei Ge and said, “Then where did you get this True Vision Eye from?”

“My father got sick when he was forty years old, if he was cured he could live for three more years, but he needed to spend all the savings left in the family,” Mei Ge said grimly, “I said I would take the money to give him the cure, but my father didn’t agree to it, and he gave all his savings to me, and told me to go to the black market to gamble one more time, for the last time. . If he uses the money to cure his illness, then our family really won’t have a chance to turn over a new leaf.”

“I didn’t chase the dream of being a sorcerer, so I insisted on taking the money to cure him, but my father dragged me to the black market and told me to pick a stone at random, and if I didn’t he’d kill himself,” said Meggo, “I had no choice but to pick a piece at random, but no one thought that the one I chose would really open the True Sight The Eye of True Sight. On that day, my father passed away, and I don’t even know if he was remorseful or relieved when he left.”

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that this matter was too ironic, his father had spent all his family’s money chasing after something for his entire life but couldn’t find it, whereas Meigo didn’t want to become a sorcerer but casually picked the Eye of True Sight and became the new lucky one.

No wonder Mego said that ordinary people would lose a lot if they wanted to become wizards.

“Using all the family’s wealth and my father’s wasted life in exchange for a marginal sorcerer status,” Meggo smiled bitterly, “and being whisked away to a bird’s nest to do the dirtiest and most tiring hard work, is it worth it? I don’t know if it’s worth it. In fact, I learned later that all the wizards who bought the Eye of True Sight would be whisked away to the toughest place to polish for two years, of course it’s not to hone your will, it’s the wizard organization that wants to tell you that even if you become a wizard, your fate is still in their hands.”
