A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 572 Strange Objects and Harvests

Bahamut's escape led to Tessa's death, and Tessa's death, in turn, gave Jiang Shuzhou a whole bunch of strange items.

According to Denozzi's count, Tessame possesses more than thirty artifacts, each with a different effect, many of which are quite interesting.

For example, there's the Mushroom House that can produce an infinite number of mushrooms, the Magic Mirror that can reflect the most beautiful person in the world, and the Wish-Granting Machine that can grant wishes simply by reciting a few incantations, but whose wishes are often granted in an unexpected way.

Every strange object has something to be explored, but that old geezer Tessa May only uses them as tools.

This is such a waste of resources.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Shuzhou stood in front of the magic mirror.

"Magic mirror, magic mirror, tell me, am I handsome?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked.

At the same time, he also faintly exuded the aura of law.

The magic mirror trembled slightly, then suddenly spoke in an extremely obsequious tone.

"Of course! My most handsome and charming master, your appearance is unforgettable; you are simply the most handsome person in the world!"

"Not bad, but shouldn't I be the most handsome man in the world?"

"..."

The magic mirror fell silent. According to the rules, it had to tell the truth, but sometimes, telling the truth could lead to a quicker death, especially when facing such an unreasonable master.

"Well... beauty knows no bounds. Even in the entire star realm, there are very few who can rival you."

"The magic mirror said cautiously."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in agreement.

"I'll take this broken mirror apart later; I want to study it first."

Jiang Shuzhou said to De Nuozhi.

Despite the Magic Mirror's best efforts to satisfy Jiang Shuzhou's vanity, Jiang Shuzhou still had no intention of keeping it.

After all, this thing has self-awareness, and having self-awareness means it's unreliable.

Jiang Shuzhou has no need for such unreliable things.

What's more, it actually lied!

How could he not be the most handsome person in the entire star realm? And you still say it's a matter of different aesthetics.

Jiang Shuzhou could only say that he didn't quite agree with those words.

"Okay, Professor."

"Denozzi said."

She always resolutely carried out Jiang Shuzhou's orders.

Then, Jiang Shuzhou and De Nuozhi walked up to another strange object.

"What is this?"

Jiang Shuzhou frowned as he looked at the sparkling crystal.

He didn't sense any other properties about this thing, only its solidity.

"Professor, according to Tessa's memory, this thing is an extremely solid crystal, which is extremely difficult to destroy. Even attacks from the laws of nature will only cause it minimal damage."

"Why doesn't Tessa Mei use this thing as a weapon?"

"this……"

Denoz stammered.

Jiang Shuzhou pondered for a moment, then looked puzzled.

"Could it be that she's incapable of forging it?"

Jiang Shuzhou said.

Yes, that's right.

Denoz nodded, indicating that Jiang Shuzhou's guess was absolutely correct.

This answer was both unexpected and reasonable.

If Tessa Mey could make good use of this wonder, how could her defensive capabilities be so poor?

However, ultimately, this thing also has extremely high research value.

Putting aside everything else, the extremely robust law structure that is difficult to be broken by other laws is a good point of study.

Perhaps Jiang Shuzhou can create a new metal through research, a metal that will become extremely strong due to the laws bestowed upon it by Jiang Shuzhou, capable of withstanding most attacks.

If it really works out, that would be amazing.

After pondering it silently, Jiang Shuzhou added this thing to his list of things to be studied.

Soon, under Denoz's guidance, Jiang Shuzhou had seen all of these strange objects.

Half of them are just for laughs, completely useless, and even have many side effects.

However, it must be said that there are quite a few useful and unusual items among them.

Take that crystal from before, for example.

Besides these, there are some other useful artifacts, such as the Resonating Whistle and the Eye of Insight.

And of course, there's the most important thing: the wishing machine.

This wish-granting machine is no good. It looks impressive, but it's actually a scam.

For example, Tessa May once wished for immortality.

As it turns out, her wish has indeed come true. Although Tessa's physical body has died, her soul is immortal in some respects.

After all, "Redemption" has the ability to keep the soul inside the gun stable, and she is now trapped inside. In other words, she is indeed immortal, but not the immortality she hoped for.

This thing is really harmful.

Stopping in front of the wishing machine, Jiang Shuzhou nodded, finally listing it as one of the strange objects to be subjected to destructive research.

This kind of dud is useless to me, so I might as well study it. What if I actually discover something amazing?

If they've actually discovered something, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

Of course, even if nothing is discovered, this thing still has considerable value.

After all, things related to fate are always extremely precious.

Jiang Shuzhou packed up these strange items and took them away, intending to place them in the Strange Item Sealing Zone of the Floating City.

The containment of the strange object was completed quickly.

These strange objects were transferred from Tessa Mei to Jiang Shuzhou.

Walking through the sealed area of ​​the floating city's rare artifacts, Jiang Shuzhou smiled with satisfaction.

Since then, the area for sealing rare artifacts has been established, but the number of sealed artifacts has not been large enough to completely fill the seal.

Now, all of that has changed.

Finally, after examining the strange artifacts, Jiang Shuzhou looked at the dilapidated floating city.

Tessa is dead, so her floating city is naturally ownerless.

However, nobody wanted to buy it.

The floating city was not high-end to begin with, and now, after the battle with Jiang Shuzhou, it is in dire straits and almost ceases to function.

Jiang Shuzhou's advice regarding this kind of dilapidated state is as follows.

"Let's rework this thing."

Pointing to the floating city, Jiang Shuzhou said to Denuozhi.

Ideally, only you should know the design of a floating city, and it's best to have a brand-new one. Avoid opening second-hand floating cities, as they are very likely to cause problems.

"Okay, Professor."

Denozzi naturally had no intention of refuting.

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in satisfaction. He was never stingy with his children, especially his own family, when they were obedient.

He immediately prepared to allocate more materials and construction funds to Denozhe, striving to complete the construction of her own floating city as soon as possible.
