A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 355 Barbecue

"See, is it solved?"

Looking at the man inside the house who was dancing from the heat, Jiang Shuzhou was quite satisfied.

Lorena gasped several times at the horrifying sight, having made an outstanding contribution to global warming.

"Is this murder?"

Lorrina was somewhat distraught. If federal agents found out, the property prices here would probably drop again.

"Besides, how do you know the other person is that serial killer?"

"If they've illegally hacked in, how can they be considered good people?"

"Why don't we just have the agents search his room then?"

Jiang Shuzhou replied nonchalantly.

He returned to the house with Lorrina and found people inside. Lorrina was planning to call the police, but Jiang Shuzhou thought it was unnecessary and that they should just set the house on fire.

"You burned my house down, where am I supposed to live?"

"What, you want to live in a house that's been invaded by a serial killer?"

"Perhaps, in some dark corner, someone is lurking, just waiting for you to open the door, and then..."

Seeing Jiang Shuzhou's vivid description, as if she herself had done such a thing, Lorrina's emotions calmed down a bit.

She then realized that the other person was not a normal person.

For Jiang Shuzhou, the house was just a consumable; he was here purely for fun.

Before coming here, Lorina had signed a contract with Jiang Shuzhou.

It's not something on paper, but something like the devil himself; and the guarantor isn't some dimensional will, but Jiang Shuzhou himself.

At that time, we just shook hands and said "deal," and the contract was formed.

Such a contract is of little use to extraordinary individuals, but for these mortals, it is something they cannot break.

Otherwise, Jiang Shuzhou could have directly harvested their souls.

This is also what many devils do.

Of course, for Jiang Shuzhou, this was just for fun; he would never use such a method to collect souls, as it was too inefficient.

The only advantage is that you can collect rare souls, such as the souls of believers, which are very difficult to obtain unless it's a one-on-one fight.

The gods and hell had an agreement that all those who were tempted by the devil to sign a contract and sell their souls would have their souls owned by the devil.

This contract has existed since ancient times and remains in effect to this day.

"I only said I would help you get rid of the stalker and not hurt you, but I didn't say I would guarantee the safety of your house."

Jiang Shuzhou said with a smile.

What many people don't know is that while demons are masters of contracts and adept at exploiting loopholes, mages are no less skilled; the signing of contracts is also an art.

Unlike devils, who excel at exploiting loopholes in contracts, mages are adept at research and have their eyes on the devil's principal.

Unlike contracts guaranteed by the will of the primary plane, contracts guaranteed by other guarantors can theoretically be breached.

After all, the will of the main plane is incredibly powerful, and it is also truly capable of doing the work.

Take Denozhe for example. Her soul was directly handed over to Jiang Shuzhou by the will of the main plane. It can be said that as long as Jiang Shuzhou had a thought, Denozhe would be gone.

And this is truly a one-time solution, leaving a mark on the soul.

But apart from that, the will of hell is useless.

Although it remains powerful, it still retains some of the influence of the abyss, albeit a small amount.

However, the presence of residue means that it can be utilized.

Through their research, the sorcerers developed several spells that could deceive the will of Hell, meaning they could now renege on any contracts guaranteed by Hell.

The devil coveted the interest the mages earned, while the mages coveted the devil's principal.

That's why the demons dare not sign contracts with the sorcerers; they've been tricked far too badly.

"You! I'm calling the police!"

As soon as Lorrina finished speaking, a wave of dizziness hit her, and she immediately knelt down.

"Look at you! We signed a contract, how dare you try to break it?"

Jiang Shuzhou said with a smile, but there was no emotion in his eyes.

"I...I won't call the police."

Kneeling on the ground, Lorrina struggled to speak, and after she finished speaking, she felt her body relax and finally return to normal.

"The contract requires you to keep it confidential and not to do anything to harm me, just as I wouldn't harm you."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"What about just now...?"

"That's the punishment for your breach of contract."

Actually, this was just a lie to deceive Lorrina; he was just fooling her because he thought she was naive.

Lorrina fell silent, as if she had made a pact with the devil.

"As an apology, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"I'm not going to treat you, am I?"

Lorrina found it hard to believe that Jiang Shuzhou would be so kind.

"Of course it's on me."

"Alright, let's get out of here quickly, I don't want to stay here any longer!"

"But I don't have any money!"

Lorrina took a deep breath, and at the same time she told herself that the other party was a devil, and she couldn't beat him, so she might as well endure it.

"I'll treat you to this!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou laughed heartily.

"I never break my word. Besides, who says treating someone to a meal has to cost money?"

Lorrina was taken aback. Was this guy trying to dine and dash?

"Come on, let me treat you to a bonfire barbecue."

After Jiang Shuzhou finished speaking, a large piece of meat appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately afterwards, he casually skewered the meat with a branch and then placed the skewers directly next to the burning villa to grill.

"There are dancers inside, and someone is singing loudly for you. It would be such a waste not to grill something for you!"

Ignoring the increasingly faint screams from inside the house, Jiang Shuzhou started roasting meat over the roaring flames.

Speaking of which, the guy inside is a legendary heat-resistant king. He's been burning for so long and he can still make noise. He's really resilient.

According to Jiang Shuzhou's speculation, this guy must have killed a lot of people and committed many crimes, which improved his physical fitness and allowed him to withstand the heat so well.

However, his improved physical fitness has not only failed to give him an advantage, but has now become a source of torment for him.

Soon, as the screams subsided, the meat Jiang Shuzhou had grilled was cooked.

"Here, take this, it's yours."

Jiang Shuzhou handed the grilled meat to Lolina.

"No, no need."

Lorrina's face turned deathly pale. At this moment, in her eyes, Jiang Shuzhou was no different from a demon, or rather, he was a demon to begin with.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's such delicious food, it would be a shame not to eat it."

Since Lorrina didn't dare to eat it, Jiang Shuzhou didn't force her and directly gave Denuozhi a skewer.

Denoz took the roast meat without paying any attention and started eating it under Lorina's complicated gaze.

"Those who accomplish great things do not concern themselves with trifles; this is the difference between us."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in satisfaction, then spoke to Lorena.

Looking at Jiang Shuzhou, and then at the familiar faces inside, Lorrina immediately vomited. Of course, she didn't dare vomit towards Jiang Shuzhou, but instead found a corner.

"A person with a fragile mentality is unlikely to achieve great things."

Jiang Shuzhou was getting increasingly frustrated.
