A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 456 News of Tessa May

When Denozzi heard the name Tessame, his body trembled.

She will never forget what Tessa May did to her.

That day was unforgettable for her.

"Professor, is there any news?"

Despite this, Denozzi did his best to suppress the urge to kill the other person.

She is still too weak and can't do anything right now.

"That old bastard went to the Alliance of Saints and was conducting experiments in the territory of the Goddess of Plague. And just then, someone found him."

Jiang Shuzhou pointed his finger, and the surrounding scenery changed, with Tessa Mei appearing before him.

This is a projection technique. As a legend, Jiang Shuzhou's projection technique can project specific details such as mental energy fluctuations and soul fluctuations.

As long as the other party doesn't try to cover it up and gets caught, that's fine.

Given De Nuozhi's consistent hard work and the fact that she was still one of his own, Jiang Shuzhou would naturally keep his word. Whether it was to train her or to avenge her, Jiang Shuzhou would do it.

Although Grace is good, she wasn't someone he trained himself. Jiang Shuzhou still prefers Denoz, whom he trained himself.

Of course, it's the teacher's affection for the student; as for romantic feelings?

It's not that there are none, but rather that there are very few.

Denozhi could not simultaneously be his student, subordinate, secretary, slave, girlfriend, and tool.

Perhaps it's impossible, at least not now.

"Professor, I will follow your instructions completely."

Denoz's breathing trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at the projection.

She would never forget the madman who killed the entire academy, the person she once respected most.

Jiang Shuzhou patted Grace, signaling her to move aside, and then hugged Denoz.

"You may have nothing left, but don't forget, you still have me. I will be your father, your monarch, your teacher, everything to you. I will be your guide, and I will help you take revenge."

"You can trust me completely, and you can only trust me. I will help you."

As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, Denuozhi's body gradually relaxed, and her expression began to ease.

Yes, I still have my professor, I still have him.

"Professor, thank you."

Immediately afterwards, Denuozhi buried her head in Jiang Shuzhou's chest, letting Jiang Shuzhou stroke her hair to comfort her.

Grace, standing to the side, felt somewhat superfluous, yet also quite moved.

This bastard is really good at manipulating people's emotions.

Grace just saw it; there was no tenderness or pity in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes, only calculation.

However, when it comes to a person, you should look at what they do, not what they think.

Although Jiang Shuzhou intended to kill Tessa Mei because she possessed a strange object, it is undeniable that he did provide Denozhi with assistance and nurtured her talent.

It can only be said that Jiang Shuzhou has always been good at balancing his desires and morality in order to maintain his appallingly low moral bottom line.

"Professor...I..."

Denozzi seemed about to say something, but apparently Grace was there, so she didn't say anything in the end.

Grace curled her lip in response. If Denozie had said it, she could have started a chaotic scene and seen how Jiang Shuzhou would handle it, just for fun.

Grace didn't object to Denozzi, since she was the legal wife anyway.

Furthermore, Grace was quite at ease with Jiang Shuzhou. She thought that without a life-or-death struggle, it would be impossible to move this iron man.

"By the way, Denoz, do you know why Tessa chose to massacre everyone at the Witch Academy?"

Why Tessa May killed the witches at the Witch Academy has always puzzled everyone, including Denoz.

Now, possessing the entire alliance's intelligence system, coupled with the intelligence network built by spies, has given Jiang Shuzhou the answer.

"There are two aspects. First, she was about to die, and in order to prolong her life, she chose to join the Alliance of Saints and seek to be deified."

"The second is prophecy."

At this point, Jiang Shuzhou's expression became quite strange.

All monks should understand that they should not predict their own lives, especially things like life and death.

Even though Jiang Shuzhou possessed the Robe of Destiny, which theoretically allowed him to freely predict his own life, death, or other things, he didn't make many predictions.

The last prophecy led him directly to Grace, causing both of them to lose their virginity, which was quite terrifying.

Jiang Shuzhou would rather die than make any predictions about himself now.

And that old hag Tessa May actually dared to predict her own death.

"Perhaps out of guilt for her massacre of witches, Tessa told some members of the All Saints Alliance the reason. Although I don't know if it's true or not, the reason she gave was that she would be killed by her own students in the future."

"..."

Denoz remained silent.

This is the self-fulfilling nature of prophecy.

To prevent herself from being killed by her students, Tessa Mei chose to strike first, killing all of them. Still feeling it wasn't enough, she forcibly removed the rules from their bodies.

But precisely because of this, by coincidence or fate, Jiang Shuzhou encountered Denuozhi, and there just happened to be such a strange object that Denuozhi needed to operate.

Unsurprisingly, Tessa May's most feared prophecy is gradually becoming a reality.

Do you think she'll still remember you?

"I have no idea."

Denozhi replied in this way.

"Put in a little more effort, just for my sake. How about this: if you reach Legendary status, I'll grant you a request that isn't too unreasonable, okay?"

"Of course, don't even think about terminating the contract."

Upon hearing this, Denoz looked at Jiang Shuzhou with a somewhat ambiguous expression in his eyes.

Jiang Shuzhou stared at Denuozhi, his expression unchanged.

"Professor, I will."

"Treat this as a serious matter."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou handed Denozhi a large pile of textbooks, which were all used by Grace and personally compiled by Jiang Shuzhou. They even contained his notes.

With these, and with Jiang Shuzhou using the power of order to help her better perceive the laws, Jiang Shuzhou believed that it wouldn't be long before Denoz would become a legend.

At that time, Jiang Shuzhou will have three legends in one family, and his two apprentices will both be legends.

It would be so prestigious to tell people about this.

"Oh, and one last thing, send someone to make contact with the elven extremists, provide them with some material support, and relax some standards on certain matters."

Jiang Shuzhou gave the instructions, saying that he was ready and it was just a matter of time.

"Grace, come with me to the lab. We'll study dream-related spells and some diseases affecting the elves. We need to be discreet."

Naturally, as it was Jiang Shuzhou's original profession, he couldn't just leave it unused.

Two legendary alchemists and the entire alliance serving an elf—you're in for a treat!

After all, it won't be long before we can enjoy it.
