A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 283 I Need You

In a small grove of trees in Hamlet's territory.

Jiang Shuzhou brought Denuozhi here.

"You know what I'm going to do, now show me."

Denoz nodded, and then a small fireball began to condense in her hand.

This is the Fireball Technique.

"Throw it out."

The tiny fireball pierced straight through the tree trunk.

"good."

Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied. After more than a month, Denuozhi finally succeeded in becoming a first-order mage.

Although it can't compare to Jiang Shuzhou, it's still pretty good.

This is also because Denozee is essentially a repeat student. Previously, she learned how to use the power of the rules within her body to fight, but now she can only rely on herself.

"You promised me."

De Nuozhi looked at Jiang Shuzhou with longing eyes.

"What did I promise you?"

Jiang Shuzhou planned to tease Denorchi.

"Is this the gun?"

Jiang Shuzhou took out his gun and swayed it back and forth in front of Denuozhi.

Denozzi's eyes were fixed on the gun, like a puppy eyeing its food.

Even though her eyes revealed longing, she didn't dare to snatch it by force, which shows that she has indeed learned her lesson.

"Here you go, I never break my promise."

Jiang Shuzhou tested their loyalty, and the results satisfied him greatly.

If Denozzi dares to reach out and grab it, she won't see the gun for a while.

"What's the name of this gun?"

"She was Teacher Teresa in disguise..."

Denozhi clung tightly to the gun, as if it were the only thing that could give her warmth.

"Your teacher Teresa is dead. You should face this fact. This gun is something she created to protect you."

Don't dwell on the past; it's pointless.

However, Denoz remained silent.

"You should know what you mean to me."

"I am your gun; anyone who defies your will should be eliminated."

This was something Jiang Shuzhou had told Denuozhi long ago.

"That's right, so why are you clinging to the past?"

"What, are you planning to kill Tessa May and then commit suicide?"

Upon hearing this, Denozzi stiffened; she did indeed have such a thought.

Jiang Shuzhou's eyes sharpened as he looked at this.

"Suicide is wrong, do you know that?"

"Especially since you actually planned to kill Tessa May and then commit suicide. By then, I wouldn't even know how many resources I'd invested in you, and you'd actually think about killing yourself?"

This kind of thinking must be corrected.

However, seeing Denoz huddled up and trembling, Jiang Shuzhou decided to be gentler.

Perhaps the excessive suppression in the past has caused this child too much pressure; now we need to give her some encouragement and motivation.

Give me the gun.

Jiang Shuzhou extended his hand to Denuozhi.

"I said, give me the gun!"

Faced with Jiang Shuzhou's icy gaze, Denozzi trembled and slowly handed the gun to Jiang Shuzhou.

It seems that Jiang Shuzhou's education did have some effect.

"I'll give it to you later, but for now, come with me, I'll show you some things."

Jiang Shuzhou used teleportation magic to directly transport Denozhi and himself to the collection room inside the castle.

This is an incredibly spacious area, with countless tables of varying sizes arranged around it.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Shuzhou suddenly illuminated the previously dim surroundings.

The first thing that catches the eye is the book "Thus Spoke Zarathustra," which is fixed in place by a freeze spell and floats on the display stand. This book has had a significant impact on Jiang Shuzhou.

The funny thing is, Jiang Shuzhou only read it once and only remembered the concept of Superman. Since then, Jiang Shuzhou has never looked at it again, and it is still the same now.

Do you know about my past?

Jiang Shuzhou is about to start telling a story.

Denoz shook his head.

"Like you, I once had a happy and fulfilling family, but then an accident destroyed everything."

"Just like you."

"From then on, I lost my parents."

"They said I was a jinx, a monster who killed my parents, and I used to be sad about it."

Do you know how they are now?

Jiang Shuzhou smiled and asked De Nuozhi.

"How is it?"

"They humbly begged for my forgiveness."

Since Jiang Shuzhou's identity was exposed, these people have been dug out, and without exception, they are all begging for Jiang Shuzhou's forgiveness.

"..."

Denoz opened his mouth slightly, then remained silent.

"Guess if I've forgiven them?"

Before Denoz could answer, Jiang Shuzhou continued speaking to himself.

"No, I didn't even reply to them because they weren't worth wasting my time."

Jiang Shuzhou bent down and looked directly at De Nuozhi.

"Although your teachers and classmates are dead, I, Navis Lebo, or rather Jiang Shuzhou, will be your guide. All you have to do is listen to me, and I will lead you in the right direction."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou straightened up and looked down at Denuozhi.

"What I was trying to tell you was that you are special, you are the one I chose, and I need you."

"Really?"

Denozzi spoke.

"certainly."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded; he did indeed need Denoz.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also understands De Nuozhi's psychology very well. She longs to be needed because she is alone and has fallen into self-doubt.

At this moment, she needs someone to tell her that she is not useless and that someone needs her.

"Look over there."

Jiang Shuzhou pointed to the game pod.

"I originally planned to live my life aimlessly, but an unexpected event led me to find the meaning of life."

Denoz's eyes gradually brightened.

Continuing onward, Denoz saw a worn-out wood-chopping axe and a flintlock pistol, placed crosswise on either side.

"I have also faced danger before. On the boundless sea, I had to kill the first person in my life."

"But strangely enough, I didn't feel any discomfort at all. From then on, I knew that I was special."

Jiang Shuzhou kept feeding De Nuozhi chicken soup and relentlessly manipulated her.

"That was my uniform when I was an arbitrator, although I only wore it once, when I was trying it on."

Denozhi stared intently at the arbitrator's uniform.

Velisco is a place Jiang Shuzhou will never forget; it's where his dream began.

"Could you give me this dress?"

"I asked timidly," Denoz asked.

This sentence almost choked Jiang Shuzhou to death.

Do I lack food or clothing from you?

"That's what I wore."

"I'll order one for you later."

Upon hearing this, Denoz was very disappointed.

"Is that not allowed?"

That's from my collection!

Don't even think about it.

I brought you over to look at my collection, and you actually want to take it away?

I don't even want to think about what will happen later if you dare to take things now.
