Chapter 1158, Big Brother, I’m hiding here ah!
“Russell actually has descendants?” Ren Xiaosu was astonished, “Didn’t the Witch Master’s Journal say that he had never taken a wife in his life, and it also said that he didn’t have any heirs ah.”
This was specifically mentioned in the Sorcerer’s Journal, and Ren Xiaosu even lamented that the other party had dedicated his entire life to the sorcerer’s cause at that time.
Zhang Haoyun calmly said, “The record in the Sorcerer’s Journal is wrong, but this is a mistake deliberately made by the author, who knew very well that Russell’s death was by no means as simple as a natural death, so he concealed this matter.”
“What kind of person is the author of this wizard’s journal, I feel that he quite admires Russell,” Ren Xiaosu said.
“It’s Russell’s close follower in his later years,” Zhang Haoyun replied, “He didn’t follow Russell for a long time, but many of Russell’s manuscripts and letters were organized by him after his death, so he learned a lot of things.”
“O, no wonder he could get Russell’s letters with his best friend,” Ren Xiaosu said, “What happened to this author afterward?”
“Died as well,” said Zhang Haoyun, “The deaths I mentioned are all unnatural deaths, there is evidence that he experienced torture before he died, the diaries of his ancestors said that when the Sanctuary Organization found his body, people couldn’t bear to look at it.”
“So, the Sanctuary Organization and Russell have always maintained a close relationship, and your organization did help the wizards, it’s not too much to say that it’s a benefactor of the Witch Kingdom,” Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, “But why did it disappear later.”
“Originally, the wizard organization had survived the hardest time in the early days of the calamity under Russell’s leadership, but Russell himself suffered from a serious illness as a result, and he was contaminated by dirty substances,” Zhang Haoyun sighed, “This gave the old wizard aristocracy the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.”
Zhang Hao Yun: “They bribed one of Russell’s servants and poisoned him. The Sanctuary Organization pursued the clues and began to want to avenge this good friend of the organization, but only just finished torturing that servant and executing him, then they were besieged by the entire sorcerer organization.”
“A betrayal for profit,” Ren Xiaosu said curiously, “Didn’t you guys expect this?”
“Actually expected it, it’s just that on the way to protect Russell’s wife and descendants from the evacuation, too many companions were lost, you should understand that the battle of guardianship is too much more tragic than letting go of the fight,” Zhang Haoyun said, “Originally there were still a lot of new sorcerer groups, but a lot of them died during the plague, dying to protect the sorcerer community and died. On the contrary, it was those old sorcerer nobles who always preserved their strength, but instead gained a dominant position after the Calamity.”
Ren Xiaosu probably understood how much these people from the Sanctuary Organization hated those old wizard aristocrats, everyone’s hard work in the Calamity led to a decline in strength, and as a result, in the end, it was cheaper for those who didn’t take action in the Calamity, if it were himself, he would also be very angry ah.
“You guys poisoned the Vos family because of this matter?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“That’s right, that servant who poisoned Russell was a person from the Worth family, after this matter the Tudor family allocated an extremely large amount of benefits to the Worth family as a reward, moreover, the Worth family has also been the main force during the siege of the Holy Church, killing many of us,” Zhang HaoYun said, “We killed the Worth family first the Vos family, but it’s just taking some interest.”
“This is something I’m quite supportive of you guys, so where are Russell’s descendants now,” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“I can’t tell you yet, they don’t belong to the Holy Church, but when you get to Ghent City, you’ll meet them sooner or later,” Zhang Haoyun said, “Russell told his wife a lot of things in his later years, as far as I know there’s a diary that’s in his wife’s hands, which contains a lot of secret stories, I believe that the the answer you’re looking for should be in there.”
About this Ren Xiaosu had no doubt, otherwise the palace wouldn’t have listed Russell’s descendants as a clue related to Ren Wo.
“Are you going to Ghent City as well?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.
“Of course not,” Zhang Haoyun said, “I have other things to do in the Winston Family, the Berkeley Family is about to go to war with the North, this is the best time for us to take revenge. I still have one more question I want to ask you, before this I have already expressed my utmost sincerity, it can be said that I have told you a lot of information, so can you tell me now, what exactly is your relationship with Ren Wo?”
Ren Xiaosu said helplessly, “I wasn’t lying to you before, I came here because I wanted to know what exactly is my relationship with him.”
Zhang Haoyun said seriously, “I look forward to the day when everything comes to light.”
At this time, the banquet in the main hall seemed to be coming to an end, Ren Xiaosu left with Mei Ge, while Chen Cheng and the others went in another direction.
For a while, in the huge Key Gate Palace, only those slaves who had sold their entire lives to the Witch Family remained, silently cleaning up the leftovers.
Mei Ge, as the protagonist of tonight’s banquet, looked a little tired, the two of them put on their cloaks and rushed towards the stagecoach station, on the way, Mei lamented, “The young wizards in these families have an indescribable air of decadence about them, and I don’t know why.”
Ren Xiaosu smiled and explained, “If all you have in your heart is the desire for power, you’ll become just like them.”
“Forget it then,” Meiguo bristled, “By the way, I see that you’re in a pretty good mood, what, did you make any friends over at the side hall?”
“Friends are not quite, but the conversation was quite happy,” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
Mei Ge muttered, “Leaving me alone in the main hall, you’re free and easy.”
However, right at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly stopped in her tracks, and Mei Ge looked up to see that there was actually a figure at the end of the path that was staring blankly at his side!
It was already around two in the morning, the street was empty with only the three of them, under normal circumstances, ordinary belongers would never go out at this time.
Mei Ge asked in a low voice, “Have we been discovered, what should we do?”
Ren Xiaosu whispered, “You go back to the post first, I met an old friend.”
“Old friend?” Mei Ge was astonished, “You came from Middle Earth and still met an old friend?”
“To be honest, I didn’t expect it either,” Ren Xiaosu lamented.
At this moment, Mei Ge suddenly heard the figure on the opposite side of the long street ask with a trembling voice, “Ren Xiaosu, is that you, don’t think I won’t recognize you just because you’re wearing a cloak.”
Ren Xiaosu grinned, “It’s me, Wang Congyang you have true love for me, you can even recognize me here.”
“I really love you ah, I know you even when you turn into ashes,” Wang Congyang said painfully, “I’ve fled to this side how come you’re still a ghost ah, big brother, let me go, I just want to live a few days of not being wanted ah!”
Ren Xiaosu approached over towards Wang Congyang step by step, “You may not believe it when I say it, I’m really just passing by.”
Before Ren Xiaosu could get much farther, Wang Congyang actually turned his head directly and ran away.
Mei Ge just wanted to say something, but saw that Ren Xiaosu had already chased after him like an arrow out of the string, leaving him standing alone on the street: “Hey, how to go back, this middle of the night, even a person who can ask for directions are not fucking there!”
