A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 644 Welcome Back to the Team, Lao Luo

Legend has it that the moon is the embodiment of the moon goddess, and the great moon goddess is one aspect of the god of dreams.

Whether the legend is true or not is unknown, but people can judge whether something is true by the extent of the smile on the moon's face in the sky.

Generally speaking, the moon's smile can change.

First of all, there's this kind of maniacal laughter right now.

When this happens, it usually means something big has happened, either good or bad, it never fails.

However, in general, it's a bad thing.

After all, although the Moon Goddess wouldn't personally engage in any heinous acts of annihilation, almost everyone throughout history knows that this great being loves watching a good show.

The other reactions are smiling, laughing, and calmness.

When things are calm, the moon's crescent is flat, and its gaze seems to reveal a sense of boredom.

On this day, nothing will happen—no attacks, no deaths, no conspiracies or schemes.

However, this is the rarest occurrence; according to records, it has only happened five times and has not happened since.

There's no way around it. Don't they realize where they are? This is Jiang Shuzhou's laboratory. If everything is peaceful and uneventful every day, how can Jiang Shuzhou find enjoyment in conducting experiments and absorbing the essence of other people's ideas to expand his own abilities?

So, with nothing else to do, Jiang Shuzhou naturally decided to find something to do.

As for smiling and laughing, they are similar, but Smiling Month usually brings good things, such as the establishment of a new gathering place in some place.

Although the good things that happened weren't anything major, at least nothing bad happened.

In Waldland, however, the laughing moon is something they can see every day.

After all, people are dying in Wardland almost every day.

Looking at the laughing moon, Roland couldn't help but frown. She had heard about these things from others as well.

"Don't worry, the reason the moon is laughing so wildly is probably because of what happened to us Arrivers. Anyway, I don't think the destruction of this sanctuary is worth the Moon Goddess's attention."

Roland said casually.

"Really? But it seems that's true."

The passerby was stunned for a moment, then understood.

That's true. After all, who is the Moon Goddess? How could she possibly show any signs because of the destruction of such a small settlement?

He's probably overthinking it.

"Now that you mention it, I feel much more at ease. Goodnight, go to sleep early, and don't let yourself fall into a daze, it's dangerous."

The man said something casually, then quickly left.

"What did he mean? Why should I sleep?"

Roland was stunned. Since becoming a mid-level mage, she had never slept again, and had always replaced sleep with meditation, or simply not sleeping at all.

Anyway, with the physique of an extraordinary person, not sleeping for several months is like playing a game, and there are no aftereffects at all.

"Literally, child, you are still too young. When you go to a new place, the place you should visit most is the local bookstore. Putting aside everything else, at least you should learn about the history and common sense of this place, otherwise you won't even know how you died."

Jiang Shuzhou responded from the side.

At this moment, he was holding a book in his hand, flipping through it rapidly.

He bought it when he was bored; it contains the mythology and history of Wardland and some interesting stories.

It's truly fascinating to see the world you've created from different perspectives.

"Nighttime is a time for restful sleep. Everyone needs to dream in order to stabilize their existence in reality; otherwise, they will forever remain in the dream world."

Jiang Shuzhou spoke as if he were a charlatan.

This is recorded in the book.

In reality, to put it bluntly, it was Jiang Shuzhou who created this mechanism.

In order to maximize power and experiment with creating dream creatures, all beings in Wardland, whether mortal or legendary, need to fall into sleep periodically.

In this way, I can contribute my own efforts to the experiment.

If someone consistently refuses this offering, Jiang Shuzhou will send a dream creature to drag that person directly into the dream, turning that person into the object to be "offered".

Over time, this evolved into this kind of myth.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou wouldn't go too far at first; at most, he would just give him a light tap and wouldn't drag him directly into the dream.

After all, being able to reuse something is much better than being able to use it only once.

"What a cliché myth."

Roland made a comment.

"But I find it sacred!"

"..."

Roland was speechless at this point.

To be honest, this guy named Shaman in front of me doesn't seem like a mage; he doesn't seem to have that rational feeling. He seems more like a pure fun-loving person.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you about this. What are your plans now? Are you staying here, or...?"

After thinking for a moment, Roland gave up the idea of ​​arguing with Jiang Shuzhou, because that would only give Jiang Shuzhou something to do.

"Of course you should go out and make your way in the world, otherwise, are you going to hide in a place like this your whole life?"

"A moment of carelessness can ruin your life. When big problems arise later and you can't do anything about it, you'll finally learn your lesson."

Naturally, Jiang Shuzhou still needs Luo Lan to take the lead and be the main character, so how could he let her stop like this?

Next, even if he had to push her along, Jiang Shuzhou would find a way to get her moving forward.

"In that case, why don't we travel together and explore the world?"

Roland said.

Although Jiang Shuzhou doesn't seem particularly reliable right now, he sometimes performs quite well, so Roland is considering forming an alliance with him.

After all, having a teammate is always better than going it alone.

"That's not impossible, but we need to sign a contract, and you also need to promise me a few things."

Jiang Shuzhou accepted Roland's invitation without hesitation, but he did set out a few conditions.

Being around Roland allows you to better influence his decisions, handle unexpected situations, and even provide entertainment.

As for what kind of fun it will be, that's up to Jiang Shuzhou to decide.

True fun-loving people are those who create their own fun.

"What is it?"

"First of all, I need some space of my own. After all, we're all mages, and those who know, know."

"Can."

Roland nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, you should consult me ​​before doing anything, after all, I am a member of the team, and we are all equal."

"OK."

"After that, I need you to do something for me. This will not do you any harm, nor will it harm your interests."

"No problem, when?"

"Don't worry about that, you'll find out when the time comes."

Jiang Shuzhou smiled mysteriously.

"One last thing, don't be angry."

Jiang Shuzhou said something out of the blue.

"What?"

"It's nothing, I just want you to be a little more patient. After all, I like to have fun, so don't take it too seriously."

"That's fine, as long as it doesn't involve my personal safety."

Roland was aware of Jiang Shuzhou's nature, so she didn't make a fuss about it.

"So, we signed the contract?"

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou casually pulled out a thick stack of contract papers.

It was covered with all sorts of contract terms.

"make a deal."

After Roland finished speaking, he used his mental power to frantically scan and read through the contract terms.

Only after finishing reading and finding no traps did he nod and sign his name.

"Welcome back to the team, Lao Luo."
