A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 178 War and Peace

"Another megalomaniac. If I were that easy to catch, I'd probably be dead by now."

Piss looked relaxed and at ease, as if he didn't take Jiang Shuzhou seriously at all.

"These monks may not know that sometimes, the dead can be more useful than the living."

What's a good name for the new successor?

"Let's just call him Ram."

The table was originally empty, but when Piss took out a stone that shone with a strange light, a bud of flesh appeared strangely on the previously empty table.

Then granulation tissue slowly grows, and gradually, the outline of a human body is formed, followed by blood vessels, nerves, and organs, and finally the skin.

In less than ten seconds, a human body was created.

No matter how many times, Piss would feel a sense of wonder.

He found this stone five years ago, when he was just an ordinary bard with the strength of a first-tier cultivator. He was a minor leader in a newspaper, just passing the time and acting as a parrot.

The mages were like bird-walkers; whatever they told Piss to say, Piss had to say. If he disobeyed, the best-case scenario was that their funding would be cut off, and the worst-case scenario was that he would die.

Piss had a colleague who was taken away by the monks because he expressed some unique views on faith, and he has not returned to this day.

I reckon it's gone.

Pix himself became even more cautious.

He wanted to live, and thankfully, as long as he avoided those sensitive topics, and the monks were too lazy to keep an eye on a newspaper all the time, he was fine.

After a peaceful year, Pease began to reflect on the meaning of his life.

Then, he became depressed.

He began to feel that his life was extremely unsatisfactory, that he was bored, and that nothing had any meaning.

In general, we call this eating too much.

The crops resulting from the spread of the mages' technology were ultimately too overpowered, feeding everyone and leading to a diverse population.

Pease began experimenting with adding his own opinions to the newspapers, and it was very successful; no one noticed.

Then one day, Pease received a letter from an organization called Peace Dove, inviting him to join.

So, for the thrill, he chose to join.

Clearly, Pease doesn't want peace; he's just looking for thrills.

Later, during an operation, he found the stone in the treasury of a nobleman.

He was killed by a mob in his territory.

Using this stone that could create human bodies, Piss escaped the mages' pursuit many times.

Since then, he has become increasingly rampant, even attempting to create a big news story through Kenos and ignite the entire scene.

"Let the storm rage on!"

Piss grinned menacingly.

"There were no hidden injuries to the internal organs, including the brain, which seemed to be brand new."

As a master of the flesh and blood realm, Jiang Shuzhou immediately recognized it as a pure man-made object.

If the corpse is an ordinary person or a dead body obtained from an unknown source, it will involuntarily begin to rot after being manipulated by someone using flesh and blood puppetry.

If other technologies were used to control this body before its previous owner was alive, then the original owner's consciousness would return after the spell was actively severed.

But neither of these two scenarios occurred.

There were no signs of decay, no hidden injuries, and no signs of awakening consciousness.

The only possibility is that this is a body that was created specifically to house Piss's consciousness.

This reminded Jiang Shuzhou of games; it seemed that these Descendants used bodies that had been created for them.

I just don't know how that Pyth was created.

Perhaps it was provided by the organization, or perhaps...

There's treasure!

Compared to the former, Jiang Shuzhou believes it should be the latter.

In the Mage Alliance, such an organization is unlikely to exist, since mages are not to be trifled with. The reason why the Peace Dove is still alive is because the things they do are not too big.

Therefore, no high-level mage is willing to take care of them. They would rather use their energy to practice more spells.

However, there's no use in speculating here. Since the other party is resorting to such underhanded tactics, it means that his strength isn't that great.

So the best option now is to be true to him.

As for how to make it real?

Jiang Shuzhou had his own methods.

Whatever you have, you must have something to rely on.

The flesh puppet technique is not a clone technique. Pyth's original body must be not far from his physical body, so Pyth is still in Kenos.

As long as he is alive, Jiang Shuzhou can use the unique magic of the Blood and Flesh Gospel, "Bone Tracking," to find the places he has been.

Then Jiang Shuzhou can meet him in person offline.

Soon, accompanied by a strange whisper, Jiang Shuzhou's eyes emitted a dark light.

The body's past slowly emerges: eating, sleeping, giving speeches, and...

Birth.

He was born on a table in a dark room, next to a man whose face was not visible, but without a doubt, this was the real Pyth.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also learned of that location.

In the basement of 221 Kenous Fifth Street.

Got you.

"Tie them up, then follow me!"

At Jiang Shuzhou's command, the guards took out ropes and tied themselves up one by one.

"My lord, I'm innocent! I just came to check on things!"

"Sir, I just came here for a drink. I don't know this Pis at all."

"Sir, my whole family depends on me for food! You can't do this!"

"grown ups……"

As soon as they were tied up, these people began.

In short, it's not easy for anyone, and they want Jiang Shuzhou to give up.

That's impossible. These people listened with great enthusiasm and even clapped and cheered. Jiang Shuzhou remembered it all. He can't just back out now.

"Guards, take all those who are shouting the loudest away and throw them straight into jail!"

I was thinking that a few days of detention would be enough, but I didn't expect these people to dare to make a fuss. I have to give them a real beating.

"The rest of you, come with me."

Without glancing at the person behind him, Jiang Shuzhou walked away.

To be honest, this is the first time he's met a real person offline, especially one who's a treasure chest monster, so he probably has something to sell.

Those who stayed behind to guard the prisoners looked on with envy and jealousy at their comrades who left with Jiang Shuzhou. The lord himself was leading the team; if they could make a contribution, they would be rich and powerful for the rest of their lives.

But there was no other way; military orders were absolute, and obeying them was a soldier's duty.

"Stay still, don't move!"

The guards who were left behind shouted at the prisoners; that was all they could do.

Soon, number 221 arrived.

Inside the basement, Pix was still racking his brains to figure out how to breach the fortress gates and start a war, unaware that Jiang Shuzhou had thoroughly exposed his secrets.
