A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 327 Goddess of the Magic Network

"This book is dedicated to my beautiful and charming wife, Mystra."

This is the beginning of the Magic Network.

Jiang Shuzhou couldn't hold back at the beginning, but now the problem is solved.

Jiang Shuzhou had been wondering how Mistra had managed to get his hands on Matt Krofts' work.

Who would have thought that the two were actually husband and wife?

Does this count as receiving half of the knowledge in a divorce?

Sure enough, a simp will end up with nothing.

Matt Crofts was an unknown person, with no written record of him. If this weren't a book from Mistra's memory, Jiang Shuzhou would have even thought that such a person never existed.

This shows how well Mistra handled the aftermath.

Splash!

The library was silent except for the sound of Jiang Shuzhou turning pages.

Time passed slowly, and soon Jiang Shuzhou finished reading this massive work.

Well, it's a mixed bag of feelings.

In Matt's vision, the magic network will be the beginning of the rise of mages, who will no longer need to face the raging elements and will only need a small amount of magic to cast spells.

Furthermore, the magic network allows anyone to cast spells, even a mortal, as long as they have the necessary permissions.

By then, even an ordinary person will be able to gain power that was previously unattainable through hard work.

How wonderful would such a world be? Carter couldn't imagine.

But that was precisely his original intention in inventing the magic net.

Unfortunately, everything has changed.

In Mystra's hands, the magic net is no longer a tool to assist mages in their pursuit of knowledge, but rather a limiter that restricts them.

Carter's vision of making everyone a dragon ultimately fell into his own hands, because the magic net he invented was obtained by Mystra, which led to this tragedy.

The world he envisioned will probably never come to pass.

But that's not necessarily true.

Jiang Shuzhou is coming. Maybe he can rebuild the Magic Network then, but that will be a very, very long time from now.

"What are you doing?"

Mystra's voice came to my ears.

Clearly, Mystra's subconscious didn't want these things to be discovered.

Unfortunately, Jiang Shuzhou had already discovered it.

"Of course I'm reading."

Jiang Shuzhou replied.

"What's with the book you're holding?"

For some reason, Mystra's tone became agitated, and she seemed very concerned about the book in Jiang Shuzhou's hand, a concern that seemed somewhat inexplicable.

"Fine, I'll take it. What are you yelling about?"

Jiang Shuzhou wasn't going to indulge him. Now that he had everything he was supposed to have, not to mention anything else, this book, "The Magic Network," alone was worth the price of admission.

"Don't you love me?"

"I love you, Mom!"

Jiang Shuzhou pursed his lips. Where did this guy get the idea that he liked her? (The last part is a nonsensical string of characters and doesn't translate directly.)

"If you don't love me, why are you helping me like this?"

"I was just using you."

"We were trying to keep you calm and verify some of our suspicions before, but we don't need to anymore. You're no longer of any use to us."

Jiang Shuzhou said what Mystra had once said to Matt.

"You! You! You!"

Mystra was so angry that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Can't you speak properly?"

"Fine, you just wait!"

"Help! Someone is harassing women!"

Mystra shouted.

"Help! A narcissistic woman claims I like her and insists I marry her, or she'll accuse me of molestation. I'm so scared! Please, someone help me!"

Mystra's methods have been used to death, and Jiang Shuzhou doesn't care at all.

"What happened?"

"I heard it was indecent assault?"

"I heard that woman actually thought..."

"Sister, I support you!"

"Sisters are nothing, I support my brother! Don't be afraid, brother, I'm from Chengdu, I'll definitely save you from this!"

Suddenly, the once quiet library became lively.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Mystra, you're playing pretty big."

Mystra ignored Jiang Shuzhou and continued shouting.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care much at first, but Mystra's voice was just too noisy.

"What's wrong, Mystra? Do you think other people's stuff works better?"

Jiang Shuzhou played his trump card.

"You...what?"

Mystra was stunned. The moment the keyword was triggered, she immediately changed.

Then, her gaze changed, becoming sharper.

It was clear that Mystra had woken up.

"Why are you awake so early?"

Mystra's expression turned cold, completely different from before.

"Sigh, how heartless. I thought you still cared about me."

According to the law of conservation of masochism, since Mystra is normal, then Jiang Shuzhou should be abnormal.

He wanted to give Mystra a good thrashing.

"You found out?"

Mystra remained indifferent, completely ignoring Jiang Shuzhou's words.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a cold-blooded woman."

"What I'm most curious about is, what exactly happened to Matt Crofts?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked.

"He's dead. I killed him."

Mystra replied.

As expected, this person was indeed ruthless.

"Soon, you won't be able to escape either."

Mystra said with an icy expression.

"I've answered your question. Now, shouldn't you answer mine?"

"Why did you wake up before me?"

In theory, Mystra should have awakened first during this trial, then seized the initiative and used various means to control the mage who was deeply involved.

But things were full of surprises when it came to Jiang Shuzhou. Even if other mages couldn't defeat Mystra, they could still trap them for a long time. But Jiang Shuzhou was completely different. This guy actually came in while fully conscious.

Even Mystra had never seen anything like it.

"Excellent answer? I don't know."

Jiang Shuzhou said, "Why should I tell the truth when I haven't signed a contract with Mystra?"

"It seems you're unwilling to talk about it?"

Mystra narrowed his eyes.

"Of course, I'm afraid I'll end up like Matt, so I'll listen to you and skip it."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"The dream is collapsing, but you should know that even if I wake up, I will never forget this memory."

Mystra stared intently at Jiang Shuzhou, as if trying to memorize his face.

Unfortunately, the face Jiang Shuzhou sculpted was plain and unremarkable, the kind that would be completely unrecognizable in a crowd, so it was useless for Mistra to remember his face.

"I know, but you're just a loser. Why are you making yourself sound so great? I thought you hadn't fallen yet."

"Very good, sharp-tongued. I hope you'll still be this stubborn when you die."

Mystra stared coldly at Jiang Shuzhou.

Jiang Shuzhou remained silent for a while.

He was struggling with this decision.

Should we tell this goddess of magic that we didn't actually come in our true form, and that it doesn't matter if this body dies?

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou didn't say anything extra, but instead said something to Mistra.

"Dare to have a go at me?"

Then, the dream completely vanished, and before it disappeared, Mystra uttered her last words.

"I'm waiting for you, waiting for you to come and die. You mages are always full of curiosity, but curiosity killed the cat, and besides, you're nothing but mice."
