A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 206 The Birth of the Book

"Do I look like ten magic stones to you?"

Jiang Shuzhou's face darkened, and he immediately prepared to recycle the thing. After all, the Book of Flesh and Blood had used quite a few rare materials, and if he disassembled it and sold it, he could probably get a few thousand magic stones.

"Master, wait! Don't tear me apart!"

"I'm incredibly useful, and I possess a wealth of knowledge related to flesh and blood. Furthermore, I can cast spells; you can use me as a spellbook!"

Seeing that Jiang Shuzhou's expression was off and that he had raised his knife, the Book of Flesh and Blood immediately began to beg for mercy.

"I can even sign a contract with you and become your slave!"

"Furthermore, I can teach your apprentices and even grow stronger alongside you."

Then he started talking non-stop, but it all boiled down to one sentence.

Don't dismantle it.

Jiang Shuzhou's expression remained unchanged. His daily income from selling the Dissolving Love patent was only about fifty magic stones. After all, although Dissolving Love was very useful, that was because of its low price.

This is why Jiang Shuzhou's profits have always been limited. His biggest customer is still Velisco, accounting for 70% of his business. Other mages don't buy much, since most high-level mages simply can't afford to fight in a plane war.

Upon reaching the Holy Realm, a single spell can wipe out a large number of low- to mid-level enemies. Some mages even possess a normal fear spell, which can drive anyone without sufficient strength mad just by looking at them.

As Jiang Shuzhou's strength increases, the benefits of Dissolving Love will become increasingly lower, which is why Jiang Shuzhou seeks out the Church of Wealth to smuggle money.

Living off past savings won't work; this extra sum of money is a good thing.

Jiang Shuzhou pressed the Book of Flesh and Blood, preparing to disassemble it.

However, a sentence from the Book of Flesh and Blood changed his mind.

"I can keep the energy consumption to a minimum, one magic stone a day is enough."

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Jiang Shuzhou stopped.

It came back to life. The Book of Flesh and Blood felt itself sweating. The knife was only centimeters away from it. If it had been ten seconds later, it would have been gone forever.

"I can also keep your accounts and negotiate prices for you so you can spend as little money as possible."

The Book of Flesh and Blood had roughly figured out Jiang Shuzhou's needs, and it began to address them accordingly.

Jiang Shuzhou nodded slightly, and the knife moved a few centimeters further away from the Book of Flesh and Blood.

"I... I can still use it for three more months! As long as I can absorb the external nutrient solution, I can last for three months. If you want to remove me, then it's not too late."

Jiang Shuzhou finally put down his knife.

In fact, the Book of Flesh and Blood doesn't have a trial period. It just means that it plans to activate a few functions first, leaving itself enough energy to last for three months.

"Yes, your sincerity touched me."

Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied. He could use it for free for three months, and then see how well it worked. If it didn't work, he could recycle it. That was great.

"Let's sign the contract now."

Jiang Shuzhou casually took out a thick contract and placed it directly on the Book of Flesh and Blood.

"Master, is it possible that I don't have hands?"

"You can just drip my blood on it, and then brand it with your soul mark. That way you will be completely bound to me."

So it's true that creations made from flesh and blood are really convenient, and they even come with their own instruction manual.

A soul imprint is a mark placed on an object; it is generally impossible to imprint it on the soul of another being.

If you forcibly imprint the soul of another being, his true spirit will slowly assimilate the imprint, causing it to become ineffective.

However, the Book of Flesh and Blood is a special case. Its soul is an artificial soul, so it does not have a true spirit and can therefore be branded.

Once the branding is complete, Jiang Shuzhou will be able to communicate with the Book of Flesh and Blood, and have direct conversations in his mind.

In fact, branding could guarantee loyalty, but Jiang Shuzhou felt it was still not safe, which is why he requested a contract to be signed.

With the contract taking effect, Jiang Shuzhou also obtained his first truly special flesh and blood creation.

The previous Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood was a rare object, but it didn't even have a false soul, so it doesn't count.

Do you have a name?

"No, I have never seen Lord Set. I have been here since I was born. Back then, there were some magic stones for me to use, and I could also use the Mage's Hand to read books."

"I compiled all these books, and I also wrote the table of contents."

Goodness, I was wondering when the mage's desk and bookshelves became so tidy. Turns out it was you who organized them.

"Your name will be Booker."

"..."

Could this name be any more perfunctory?

"What a wonderful name, so simple and clear. My great master, your talent..."

After a moment of silence, Booker began his frenzied praise.

It has to be said that they've really nailed the emotional value aspect.

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in satisfaction, then asked.

Where are the experimental records regarding the Spirit Mother Tree?

"Master, the twenty-second book in the fourth row of the fourth bookshelf."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou took out the book and began to read.

Experiment title: Compatibility test between the Elf Mother Tree and the Path of Flesh and Blood.

Experimental objective: To test the compatibility between the Elf Mother Tree and the Path of Flesh and Blood, and based on this, to modify it in order to achieve the goal of mass-producing Flesh and Blood creations.

Experiment progress: Initial stage.

Experimental result: Out of control

The handwriting on the experimental progress and results was crooked and messy, clearly indicating that it was added later.

"Did you do this?"

"Yes, Master, this is also to help you better understand the specifics of the experiment."

Jiang Shuzhou continued reading.

"...Using flesh-and-blood parasitism to contaminate...the goal was not achieved, and the Elf Mother Tree still produced normal elves."

...Upon observation, the elves became violent and bloodthirsty, showing signs of atavism.

……

Why are they able to use divine magic?

Why is it that the elves of the outside world have no divinity in their bodies, while these elves do?

I need to know why this is being left to its own devices.

After that, there are no further records. It is clear that Seth went to fight and never returned.

How could the spirits of the outside world be different from the spirits of the underworld?

Even if they are different, the earth spirits should be stronger than these next-generation spirits, as their flesh and blood contain more divinity.

Wait a minute, if I can extract divinity from flesh and blood, what about the elves themselves?

Could they have used some kind of technology to directly extract the divinity from within their bodies?

Take, for example, the blood filtration ritual.

Does the league know about this?

If we don't know, then what exactly is the Elf race planning?

The truth always brings more questions and reflections.

However, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; the legendary mages should be able to solve the problem.

Since the legends have all run away, he has no choice but to run away too.

However, the information he possesses might allow him to run faster than other mages.

There's a saying that goes, "You don't need to run faster than the enemy, just faster than your teammates."
