A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 460 An Old Friend's Wedding

"In my name, you will become my other half. I will grant you the power to use my laws, but you will have to pay with everything. From then on, you will have no freedom. I will be your only one, your king, your god, your everything."

"Chahara, are you willing?"

Jiang Shuzhou's words were like profound truths, causing the surrounding laws to surge.

"I do."

Chahara's answer remained firm.

Jiang Shuzhou stopped talking and hugged Chahara.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a strange feeling, Chahara felt as if she were connected to a warm consciousness, and endless power surged into her limbs and bones.

With every gesture, she was able to invoke the laws of nature like a true legend.

This is something only a god could do, granting a person "divine" abilities; however, Jiang Shuzhou did just that.

Through the power of the laws of order that he controlled, he granted Chahara power.

Of course, now the two are completely transparent with each other and can both perceive what the other is thinking.

However, Jiang Shuzhou, as the person in charge, could naturally conceal the truth, but Chahara could not.

At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou was also able to control Chahara and even modify her memories at will.

This means that Chahara is now completely dependent on Jiang Shuzhou, just like those gods.

However, Jiang Shuzhou would never do anything so tasteless.

"How are you feeling?"

Jiang Shuzhou did not speak or communicate using mental power, but communicated directly with Chahara in his mind.

"Master, I feel great."

For Chahara, letting Jiang Shuzhou control everything about him was not an unacceptable thing.

"That's good. Continue to protect me closely from now on."

Now, Chahara has found his purpose again, hiding himself in Jiang Shuzhou's shadow, seemingly not planning to come out anytime soon.

Shaking his head, Jiang Shuzhou vanished in a flash.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Time flies, especially for a legend like Jiang Shuzhou.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed since Jiang Shuzhou took office as a guardian.

This wouldn't have been a big deal, after all, it was only two years, nothing special.

However, the arrival of an old friend disrupted this peace.

Kosoroja Archimonde, a legendary warrior who had met Jiang Shuzhou once, was a high-ranking nobleman from the Archimonde family of the Ovi Empire.

Inside the luxurious theater, the once packed audience seats had been deliberately emptied. The performers on stage were all high-level or even Saint-level bards, or dancers who had mastered the laws of music.

Their singing can calm the mind and even inspire monks, improving the efficiency of meditation.

But now, they're only singing for the people in one private box.

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, and I never imagined that Master Jiang would become a legend so quickly. You are truly a young talent!"

Kosoroya looked at Jiang Shuzhou, who was surrounded by women on both sides, and felt a pang of emotion. Back then, he was the one with women on both sides, while Jiang Shuzhou was all alone. He never expected that the situation would be reversed now, and he would be all alone.

Furthermore, Grace, who was by Jiang Shuzhou's side, completely dispelled his idea of ​​sending Jiang Shuzhou a woman from his own family to win people over.

After all, the other side has a legendary mage by their side, how could they possibly give it away? How could they possibly give it away?

If Grace were to whisper anything in his ear, the Archimonde family would be in deep trouble.

Kosoroya felt suffocated, especially by the other party's undisguised possessiveness.

"What are you talking about? It's just luck."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and began his usual modesty.

Upon hearing this, Kosoroya's smile froze for a moment.

Good grief, you say you became a legend because of good luck, but where do you put our dignity?

However, since Jiang Shuzhou was a legendary mage and this was his territory, and he was also busy, Kosoroya naturally couldn't cause trouble.

"You're very lucky. I wasn't so lucky back then."

Kosoroya had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the conversation.

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Tell me, what brings you here?"

Jiang Shuzhou was also quite puzzled by this legendary visit.

Surely the other person couldn't have just come to drop by for a visit?

The songs, dances, and operas performed below the stage were like background music, having no effect on the two of them whatsoever.

The conversation continued.

"Two things, one official and one personal."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou nodded, signaling to continue.

"The official business is that the great Empress Rosemary is getting married soon, and she hopes you can attend her wedding."

Jiang Shuzhou raised an eyebrow at this.

Rosemary is already married?

Isn't this a bit too early?

Moreover, why do people need to have a wedding ceremony when they get married?

However, Jiang Shuzhou quickly realized what was going on.

Rosemary's marriage was a major event, after all, her family had a throne to inherit. Without marriage and children, there would be no heir, and the throne would be unstable. After all, no one would follow an emperor without an heir.

Of course, this is also related to the succession to the imperial throne.

After all, being an emperor meant living so much shorter, only reaching one hundred years old, which was truly terrifying.

Fortunately, although his strength was legendary, the emperor of the empire had the same fertility as ordinary people, and could basically have more than a dozen sons and daughters, so he would not die out.

Otherwise, if they were to come close to the legendary birth rate, they probably wouldn't be able to have children for a hundred years.

In order to maintain a lasting dynasty, the Auvi Empire is burning these emperors like fuel.

"By the way, how is Rosemary doing now?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked.

"Things are good, the strength has been restored."

Kosoro understood Jiang Shuzhou's implication: how could someone like Jiang Shuzhou possibly care about Rosemary's health?

All I wanted to do was ask if the other party had regained their legendary strength.

However, Kosoroa didn't intend to hide it. Jiang Shuzhou would find out about these things sooner or later, so there was no need to keep it a secret.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuzhou frowned. The recovery of his strength was not a good thing for him.

After all, Jiang Shuzhou still wanted to set his sights on the empire and become an emperor.

Unexpectedly, the other party has regained their power, which will cause Rosemary's control over the other legends to slowly increase. Perhaps in a hundred years, these legends will be less eager to make a move.

If things continue like this, how can Jiang Shuzhou possibly advance unimpeded and claim the throne for himself?

However, after a moment's thought, based on Jiang Shuzhou's understanding of the empire, he quickly came up with a flaw in the empire, a flaw that could cause their rule to collapse.

However, this needs to be verified. Jiang Shuzhou still needs to go to the empire, but if he doesn't have anything important to do, the empire probably won't welcome him.

While it's possible to forge an identity and slip past the Covenant's screening, being discovered in this way would be tantamount to declaring war, which is not a safe approach.

It just so happens that Rosemary is getting married, so Jiang Shuzhou can take this opportunity to do some serious research.

You can also get a free meal while you're at it.

"Let me make this clear first, there will be no monetary gift."

Kosoroya's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, and then he spoke.

"Of course, you don't need to give it to me."
