A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 270 Denorchi

When Jiang Shuzhou returned to the camp, Pilates had already searched every corner thoroughly, but found nothing except the corpse.

There were very few corpses, only a dozen or so.

This is normal, since part of the Witch Academy is located in a demiplane, and the mastermind of this demiplane is Tessame. Since she was the mastermind behind this massacre, it's impossible for her to leave behind so many corpses.

These people probably fought their way out, but unfortunately, they all died.

In the end, Jiang Shuzhou and the others allowed these people to rest in peace, burying the bodies together with Hannah.

What was originally Hannah's solitary tombstone now has more than a dozen more.

At least I have company on my journey to the underworld.

Inside the tower itself, Jiang Shuzhou and the others held another small meeting.

"This situation is probably true."

"I've tested it, and it's most likely true."

"What exactly does Tessa May mean? How can she be so cruel?"

"Who knows? We just can't understand this kind of crazy woman."

"It's a pity that those Saint-level teachers didn't survive; they must have known even more."

"Knowing so much, how could Tessamei possibly let them live?"

"It's good enough that there's a survivor."

"I'll ask that Denozee again later, but I can write the report now; the situation won't change."

Jiang Shuzhou made the final decision.

Among the group, Jiang Shuzhou was the only high-level alchemist, so the other two implicitly regarded him as their leader.

The team rested for a moment, then quickly left.

This place is not a good place. Tessa Mei is very likely to come back. Although Jiang Shuzhou and the others are not afraid, Pulati and the others are.

So they returned to the western frontier, to the Alliance's fortress city of Sik.

A powerful magical aura enveloped the entire city. This fortified city, which also served as the border between the Mage Alliance and the Alliance of Saints, was protected by countless magic locks.

Meanwhile, a high-ranking mage is stationed here, along with three mage towers and countless soldiers.

"Halt! Who are you?"

The border guard captain shouted sternly as Jiang Shuzhou and his group approached.

There's no other reason than that these dozens of people were simply too intimidating.

"Here, this is our identification."

Jiang Shuzhou didn't argue with the guard; he was just doing his duty, and there was no need to make things difficult for him.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was just too nervous."

Even as a high-ranking warrior, the captain dared not be presumptuous and quickly apologized.

"It's okay, I understand."

"By the way, who is this...?"

Looking at Denuozhi, who was still unconscious in Jiang Shuzhou's carriage, the captain asked.

"I found it outside."

"Ahem, sir, the alliance has rules..."

Jiang Shuzhou's answer put the captain in a difficult position. He could have simply said that they were one of their own, since he didn't dare to check everyone's identification.

So what should he do if Jiang Shuzhou says that?

"It's none of your business. I'm an alchemist. I'll just send her an identity."

Jiang Shuzhou casually wrote down an identification document and handed it to the captain of the guards.

"Thank you for your understanding."

The captain took a look and found that it was indeed the mage mark of a high-level alchemist. He didn't dare to say anything and let them pass directly.

"Captain, isn't this a bit against the rules?"

The guard standing nearby asked in a low voice.

Although Jiang Shuzhou could indeed provide identification, they also had an obligation to investigate the background of the person in question.

"Are you stupid! They've already provided a guarantee, what more do you want?"

The captain kicked the guard who had been there earlier.

"Luckily you didn't say it to my face, or I would have kicked you to death! That's an alchemist, a high-level alchemist at that! His daily income alone could buy your life!"

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care about the subsequent events; his most important task now was to wake up Denoz.

The girl's soul is fine, but it's possible that the power of the rules has been drained, or that she has been betrayed and severely traumatized, causing her to be unwilling to wake up.

Jiang Shuzhou naturally had a solution to this situation.

Just sneak into her dream and slap her twice.

The main reason for going into the city this time is for follow-up arrangements.

If Denozia were willing to submit, it would be impossible to include her in the diplomatic team. After all, that old hag Tessame is still in the Alliance of Saints, and if she were discovered, the problem would be huge.

If they refuse to submit, Jiang Shuzhou can certainly deal with them immediately.

Soon, night fell.

Jiang Shuzhou and the others stayed in a luxurious villa, all arranged by the local high-ranking mages.

Although he himself did not arrive, nor did he see Jiang Shuzhou and the others, it was mainly because he was busy with experiments and therefore did not have time. However, in order to show his attitude, the mage still had his followers arrange a luxurious villa and the best hospitality for Jiang Shuzhou and the others.

Each person naturally owns their own villa.

Jiang Shuzhou set up a magic array in preparation to awaken Denuozhi.

"Wake up!"

no response.

popping.

Jiang Shuzhou slapped De Nuozhi twice.

Still no response.

Looks like I really have to go into a dream.

Jiang Shuzhou used his dream-entering technique to see what was going on.

Denoz was very happy.

"Denozhi, shall we go see the sea?"

"A girl said."

"it is good."

"Denozhi? Wake up! Get up!"

A strange man's voice rang out.

Denoz frowned. How could there be men in the Witch Academy?

She then ignored him completely and continued to do as she pleased.

"Denozhi! Are you deaf? I said, wake up!"

Jiang Shuzhou raised his voice.

From Denoz's expression just now, he knew that the other party could definitely hear him, but still chose to ignore him.

It seems that Tessa May's betrayal was a huge blow to her.

But it doesn't matter, Jiang Shuzhou has plenty of strength and means.

Give this kind of person a couple of slaps and she'll wake up.

Without hesitation, Jiang Shuzhou slapped him twice.

"Who are you!"

Denorchi finally took Jiang Shuzhou seriously.

"Stop fooling yourself, it's time to wake up."

"Who are you? I don't know you!"

"Do you know Hannah?"

"Hannah, how could that be? You know her?"

"Of course I know him."

Denoz remained silent; she did not speak.

"Do you know? She died. Before she died, she asked me to take good care of you."

"In the end, you hide in your dreams, acting like a coward, indulging in false beauty."

"What? Is one person's betrayal such a big blow to you? You don't even dare to retaliate? You're only willing to be a useless piece of trash?"

"In that case, I'll leave first. You can just sleep and die here. You're the last student at the Witch Academy. Everyone else is dead. Since you don't want revenge, then go join them."

Jiang Shuzhou exited the dream.

He didn't have time to fool around with this person. He couldn't wake him up even with a slap. If his verbal sparring had no effect, then this person was useless and it wouldn't matter if he died.

If she can wake up, it means there is still hope for her.

Soon, Denozie woke up and opened her eyes.

"Who are you?"

This is the same question again.

"I am your sovereign and father, the one you must serve."

Jiang Shuzhou said, while pushing a contract over.

"Sign it."

Denoz saw the contents of the contract—an extremely strict master-servant contract, but the conditions were ones she could not refuse.

Jiang Shuzhou will assist her in killing Tessa May.
