Chapter 1103: Bounty hunters and sorcerers

Translator: Legge

If Ren Xiaosu really wanted to kill the other party, he was totally capable of doing so. It might get very intense during the battle, but as long as Ren Xiaosu went all out, how could they possibly escape his clutches with just the few of them?

Did they really consider the Stronghold Destroyer a pushover?

However, Ren Xiaosu still had some doubts regarding what the sorceress said. What if she had only denied it to conceal her identity as a Rider?

Or perhaps she was not aware of the inside scoop but others in the organization might be?

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu was willing to let her go and wait for her to relay the news to her colleagues. He believed that after the young sorceress went back, someone would definitely ask her about what happened, and she would definitely voice her doubts.

Of course, there could also be another possibility. She might really have been sent here by the Tudor family.

But Ren Xiaosu was not afraid of that outcome either. As long as the entire magus order did not band together to launch an attack on him, he could just leave the Kingdom of Sorcerers on the steam locomotive. After that, he would just bring Zhou Yingxue and the others back over to raze the Tu-Manor to

the ground.

Right now, even if the enemy suspected him, they would just send some cannon fodder to deal with him. Was dealing with a trivial matter like that worth the time of those revered archmages?

Although the battle tonight was fierce, it wasn’t that intense. Ren Xiaosu was sure of his judgment.

At this moment, there was an uproar in Yorktown. The owner of the stable that got burned down by the young sorceress was seemingly from a rich family. He was organizing a group of people to help put out the fire and assembling another group to go after the arsonist.

Judging by their actions, they had also discovered the figures flitting across the roofs earlier. Therefore, they concluded someone must have maliciously started the fire.

Ren Xiaosu did not want to get involved in this mess, so he simply made a detour on top of the roofs and went back to the Sorcerer’s Tower. He initially thought Melgor would be awoken by such a loud commotion, but that guy actually slept through it all!

After more than two years of reconnaissance work in another country and getting plunged into that pathetic escape on their return, Melgor was beyond exhausted.

The next morning, Melgor suddenly ran over to Ren Xiaosu’s room and banged on his door. “Something terrible has happened!”

Ren Xiaosu reluctantly got up and opened the door. “What’s the matter?”

“Did you hear the tumult that went on in the city last night?” Melgor said.

“No, I was too tired, so I slept very soundly. What happened?” Ren Xiaosu said sleepily.

“Not unexpected,” Melgor muttered. “I didn’t notice it at all either. But I have to warn you: Please be very careful these days. They’re coming for us!”

Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. “What’s going on? I thought you didn’t notice anything?”

“But some people saw an arsonist.” Melgor said, “When I summoned witnesses over to be questioned this morning, they said some people saw a person in a white mask leaping across the roofs. Everyone’s now saying that was the arsonist!”

Ren Xiaosu was speechless.

Melgor continued, “Do you remember what happened on our way back? That sorcerer in the white mask has attacked us so many times!”

Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had used Old Xu as a front to mislead Melgor. But now, he had gotten himself into trouble for that. He wondered how Melgor would react if he saw Old Xu in the future.

But what was certain was that he most probably contributed to Xu Xianchu’s black cauldron growing bigger again.

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, “Is it possible that someone else was responsible for the fire?”

Melgor said firmly, “It must be him! He must be the one who cast Flame Pillar at me too! He’s sent by the Tudor family!”

Alright, Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, ‘If you say so…

Melgor added, “He must’ve been discovered while on the way to kill me, so he set the stable on fire to distract everyone while he made his escape. I think he’ll definitely be back. You have to be careful.”

“Mhm, alright, I’ll be careful,” Ren Xiaosu replied.

“Why do I get the feeling that you aren’t taking me seriously? I’m just worried he’ll try to kill you. Are you not afraid of death?” Melgor said anxiously. With such a powerful sorcerer trying to ambush them, they might really die if they weren’t careful!

Ren Xiaosu changed the topic. “By the way, do you have any particularly valuable books here in your collection?”

Melgor was taken aback. “Er, no.”

Ren Xiaosu wondered if stealing a book was just that young sorceress’s excuse, so he asked again, “Then do you have any books that are more notable? Such as books with a long history? Or something that carries special significance to you?”

Melgor was stunned again. “How’d you know?”

Ren Xiaosu’s eyes lit up. “Quick, bring it here and let me read them!”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Melgor said hesitantly.

“Why not? I’m your steward. What’s wrong with me having a look at your books?” Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, “I still have to help win your childhood sweetheart back!”

Melgor mulled over it for a long time. In the end, he went back to his bedroom and took out a metallic box, which he handed over to Ren Xiaosu.

Ren Xiaosu took a deep breath before opening it.

“Are you serious?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Of course.” Melgor said, “Why? You asked whether I had any books that were precious. This one carries special significance to me.”

“But I didn’t say that I wanted to read the love letters between you and your childhood sweetheart, did I? Is there something wrong with your head?” Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt helpless. How on earth did this guy become a sorcerer?

But upon further thought, could any secrets be hidden within these love letters? For example, something his sweetheart wanted to reveal to Melgor but regretted now, so she had someone try to retrieve these love letters for her.

Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu endured the mushiness and read over 20 love letter exchanges. In the end, Ren Xiaosu looked up in shock. “How old were you when you wrote these?”

“Nine,” Melgor answered matter-of-factly.

Ren Xiaosu stuffed the metallic box back into Melgor’s arms. It was no wonder those two were discussing in the letters if they should secretly go and catch frogs the next day.

Catch frogs? Fuck off! You started developing feelings for someone when you were just nine? Do you have any morals?

“Are there really no other books that’re more notable?” Ren Xiaosu was unable to accept it.

“There really aren’t any,” Melgor said.

This time, Ren Xiaosu could confirm the young sorceress was actually lying to him. But since she was not here to steal a book, what else could she be doing here? Steal a peek at Melgor while he was taking a bath?!

Ren Xiaosu felt that Melgor was not as attractive as that!

“Then let me ask you.” Ren Xiaosu asked again, “Are there different kinds of bounty hunters?”

Curious, Melgor asked, “Why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Just a random question,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Yes, the past bounty hunters were a little different. Actually, bounty hunters started off performing chivalrous deeds initially and often robbed the rich to help the poor.” Melgor said, “The magus order tried to exterminate them on several occasions. Although they managed to kill some of them, other

bounty hunters remained hidden in the shadows and continued performing chivalrous acts. Their whereabouts were extremely secretive, and they gradually gained the admiration of the residents who started saying that not even gods could kill them.”

“What happened after that?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.

Melgor said, “Then the Magi had some of their people pose as bounty hunters to carry out nasty acts. After that, they hyped those atrocities up so much the residents immediately lost trust in the bounty hunters.”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Disregarding everything else, the magus order was really good at playing politics!
