A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 271 It's cold underground, get up.

"Young lady, you are very sensible."

Jiang Shuzhou watched as Denuozhi signed the contract and said with a smile.

If Denozzi were to question his abilities, or anything else, she would be unlikely to emerge unscathed.

Perhaps Jiang Shuzhou will disassemble her into hero fragments, then piece together a new one, and see if the strange object recognizes it.

But none of this happened; everything was going in the best possible direction.

Denoz did not speak; she remained silent.

However, the hatred reflected in her eyes showed no sign of fading.

"Very good. Keep the hatred, keep the anger, and that will be your driving force."

Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied.

He sized up the girl.

Silver hair, red eyes, cold gaze, no extra weight, 1.67 meters tall, good figure.

It seems similar to Chahara, but without animal ears, it's still a bit lacking.

Noticing Jiang Shuzhou's gaze, Denuozhi trembled, but still stood up straight and said nothing.

"I don't eat people, so there's no need to be so afraid. Besides, I came here to save you, didn't I?"

Unfortunately, after his classmate's tragic death and betrayal, and having just woken up, he was forced to sign a contract of servitude, Denorchi didn't really want to talk.

"Alright, that's enough small talk. It seems you don't really want to talk."

Looking at the wooden-faced De Nuozhi, Jiang Shuzhou curled his lip. This person has absolutely no optimism.

It's just that her classmate died tragically. Although Denozie lost her classmates, relatives, and friends, she still has me, right? I can definitely be her guide, can't I?

Don't say Jiang Shuzhou hasn't experienced it; he lost both his parents and has already experienced this feeling.

Since Denuozhi didn't want to talk, Jiang Shuzhou didn't force the conversation. He simply threw Denuozhi out of the house, since this was the master bedroom and study, and Jiang Shuzhou wasn't going to give it up.

Inside the tower, Jiang Shuzhou began to write and draw, while Trank and Morris were also busy reading magic books.

Denozzi has good talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen by the power of rules, having rules from birth.

The disappearance of the rules governing one's life may not necessarily be a bad thing.

The power of the rules initially granted these witches many benefits, but since the emergence of extraordinary beings and the attainment of higher levels of authority, which allowed them to artificially control the rules, witches have lost their special privileges.

They were both chosen ones and tragic figures.

Being born with a grasp of the rules raises their lower limit but lowers their upper limit, making the path to advancement incredibly difficult for every witch.

That was truly like walking on thin ice; one wrong step and you were gone, or perhaps even turned into a monster.

Denozhi has now become an ordinary person.

Jiang Shuzhou already has a rough idea for Denorchi's training program.

No matter what, there is one thing that cannot be separated from it: that gun.

As a rare artifact, this gun is as valuable as, or even surpasses, legendary weapons.

Ordinary legendary weapons are formed by a single law, while extraordinary artifacts are formed by the convergence of multiple laws.

Although Jiang Shuzhou hadn't tested the power of that strange gun, it must be formidable.

The appearance of strange objects depends on the laws of intersection.

For example, a strange stone object may possess extremely heavy characteristics, or it may endow a person with a body as hard as a rock, but it can never be related to flesh and blood.

The same applies to Jiang Shuzhou's Flesh and Blood Mother Tree. The most important characteristic of the Flesh and Blood Mother Tree is its ability to create living beings, which is consistent with its appearance.

Guns, as symbols of war, slaughter, and destruction, were created to better eliminate others.

These oddly shaped objects are mostly used as weapons in combat.

For this reason, Jiang Shuzhou also finalized the training plan for Denoz: a mage and a musketeer.

Use the gun as a staff; after all, the magical effects of the artifact are excellent, so it can definitely be used as a staff.

With the help of this extraordinary artifact, perhaps Denozzi can elevate the musketeer profession to a level it never truly deserves.

She might be the first legendary musketeer.

Or rather, a magic archer.

In that case, elemental and physical spells will be Denoz's main focus from now on. After all, her talent is limited, and she can't be like Jiang Shuzhou and study everything; that would only harm her.

With the training plan finalized, Jiang Shuzhou focused his attention on Hickstown.

Then he heard sobbing.

The sound was extremely low because of the good soundproofing here, but good soundproofing was useless because Jiang Shuzhou's hearing was even better.

It was Denozie, and she cried.

If he's a nice guy, he'll comfort her; if he's a jerk, he'll take advantage of her vulnerability.

But Jiang Shuzhou didn't find it that way; he just found it a bit annoying.

"Don't cry!"

The sobbing stopped, then started again after a while.

Jiang Shuzhou rubbed his temples, then blocked his hearing and switched to using his mental energy to scan for alertness.

It became much quieter immediately.

Jiang Shuzhou released a spell, and the originally blank pages of the notebook flipped rapidly, followed by rows of text and images.

This is sketching, a mage's auxiliary spell, specifically used for writing.

Writing a book in ten minutes is not a problem.

Jiang Shuzhou planned to find something for Denuozhi to do, otherwise the guy would keep crying.

There's still not enough homework. When will she have to do tons of homework every day? Then she won't have time to cry anymore.

When people have free time, they tend to overthink.

Soon, Jiang Shuzhou had filled more than twenty notebooks in the study with a huge amount of knowledge using sketching techniques.

This was the first time he had ever edited notes for someone.

Stepping out of the room, I saw Denorchi huddled up in a ball by the door.

Crying at my doorstep, you're something else.

Jiang Shuzhou rolled his eyes.

"Stop crying. Here, learn these things. This is the beginning of your revenge."

"Once you've learned it, I'll give this to you."

Jiang Shuzhou took out the strange gun.

The moment Jiang Shuzhou pulled out his gun, Denoz looked at it as if he had been electrocuted.

"Give me!"

She said.

"What?"

"Give me Teacher Teresa!"

The aura was so strong that the ground of the villa cracked as a result.

It's breathing on it.

"Kneel down!"

Jiang Shuzhou wouldn't tolerate her breath; he should slap her back, otherwise this girl wouldn't know who her master was.

A powerful sense of oppression enveloped his entire body. Just as Denozzi stood up, he was suddenly pressed down and fell to his knees on the floor.

My knee was cut by gravel, and bright red blood was flowing out.

"Tsk tsk, why bother? It's not like I'm not going to give it to you."

Jiang Shuzhou put Teresa away.

"Speaking of which, what's the relationship between Theresa and Tessa May? Their names are quite similar."

"..."

Denozzi remained silent.

Are you giving me the silent treatment?

"Teacher Theresa is a descendant of Tessa May... the headmaster."

Finally, Denoz responded to Jiang Shuzhou.

"That's right, listen to me, I'll help you."

Jiang Shuzhou rubbed Denuozhi's head, and then he kindly helped Denuozhi heal his knee.

"Don't kneel down, it's cold on the ground."
