Ren Xiaosu asked Melgor, "What's the rough population of the Kingdom of Sorcerers?"
Melgor was put on the spot. "If you ask about matters related to sorcery, I can tell you about them. But if that's your question, I've got no answer."
"As a sorcerer, you're really not in touch with the people," Ren Xiaosu ridiculed.
"As a sorcerer, why would I need to care about that?" Melgor retorted, "I'm not the only one who's like that. All the other sorcerers are the same as well. Such secular matters just need to be left to the royal family while we sit back and relax."
Ren Xiaosu gave an emotional sigh. It was probably due to this mindset that the Kingdom of Sorcerers had gradually fallen behind Fortress 178.
What was the point of a nation of sorcerers built on a nonexistent foundation? They were not real gods! They also needed a solid societal base to support their pyramid of power!
