A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 653 The Soth Society of Wordland

"Where are we going?"

As soon as he entered the city, Roland asked.

To be honest, she was a little undecided.

"Going to the Soth Society? You call yourself someone from there? You can't even think of that?"

"what?"

Roland was somewhat incredulous upon hearing this.

When did the Soth Society get a base here?

However, after thinking for a few seconds, Roland felt relieved.

As we all know, the Soth Society is an organization founded by Jiang Shuzhou, so it's not surprising that they have a stronghold here.

I don't know why, but she didn't know about this. When she was assigned, she was only assigned to a research institution as a scholar. When choosing a location, she wasn't told that there was a base here.

Perhaps the level of secrecy here is quite high.

Roland thought to himself.

But how did this guy know that?

"How did you know?"

Roland asked, his tone tinged with probing and curiosity.

"It's written on the map."

Jiang Shuzhou casually took out a map and spread it out to show Roland.

"Where did this map come from?"

Roland was somewhat surprised; she didn't remember going to buy a map with Jiang Shuzhou.

"Auto-pickup was on, I just picked it up from someone else."

Jiang Shuzhou said such things without blushing at all.

"Isn't that stealing?"

"It can't be counted entirely. Anyway, he didn't need it anymore, so I just took it. That's called a transfer of wealth."

Jiang Shuzhou muttered to himself.

"..."

This left Roland at a loss.

However, seeing that no one seemed to be coming looking for him, Roland didn't bother with it much. It's a special case, after all. Having a map is much better than wandering around like a headless fly.

Following the map, Jiang Shuzhou began leading Roland through the bustling city.

The road is bustling with countless vehicles, while pedestrians hurry to and fro on the sidewalk.

Jiang Shuzhou's car was impounded outside the city because it didn't have a license plate. Jiang Shuzhou didn't care much about it, but just arranged a few small accidents to annoy the person who dared to impound his car.

These accidents aren't fatal or have much impact; frankly, they're just accidents like getting splashed with mud when you go out.

Jiang Shuzhou was very tolerant of such a dedicated and hardworking person.

Looking at the bustling traffic around him, Jiang Shuzhou couldn't help but think of his past.

He hadn't seen this scene in many years.

The main plane goes without saying. Although some people do use cars, where does Jiang Shuzhou live?

That's a floating city. In order to enable the troops stationed on the floating city to react quickly to enemy invasions, Jiang Shuzhou built more teleportation nodes than bus stops.

In this situation, most people have no desire to buy a car, or even a horse.

Moreover, Jiang Shuzhou lives in a true heavenly palace on the clouds. Ordinary people don't even have the right to see Jiang Shuzhou, let alone drive up and disturb him.

This city, however, is the result of Jiang Shuzhou's combination of deliberate and indulgent actions.

Everyone here is like a wound-up toy; if anything stops, their lives will begin to fall apart.

Of course, this was done voluntarily by them.

Jiang Shuzhou himself doesn't really advocate staying in the city and not getting by. Rather than rotting and decaying in a place like the city, working like a beast of burden, it's better to go out and fight for your life, and that way you can make a name for yourself.

Unfortunately, while Jiang Shuzhou thought this way, some people did not. They would rather be looked down upon in the city than venture out into the outside world.

So they stayed, becoming a readily replaceable part of the city.

Along the way, Jiang Shuzhou and Luo Lan walked silently without saying a word.

With no one to bother him, Jiang Shuzhou was happy to have some peace and quiet, and he began to organize and prepare for the next stage.

Now, Roland has passed the novice stage and is ready to enter the development stage.

During this period, Jiang Shuzhou will not provide much help; she will have to rely on herself for everything.

So what is Jiang Shuzhou doing?

He's going to launch a fierce attack on the Alliance of Gods.

If you want those blasphemous priests to occupy high positions, then there needs to be enough crisis.

What could be more dangerous than Jiang Shuzhou personally leading his troops in an attack?

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou would intentionally or unintentionally help to get rid of those bishops who suspected blasphemy against the priests and the pope who stood in his way.

Meanwhile, in Wardland, Jiang Shuzhou would also create some commotion to prevent the gods from thinking too much.

As they walked, Jiang Shuzhou and his group arrived at the Soth Society.

This is a building that stands out from the outside world.

While other buildings are made of cold, hard steel and various fleshy materials, this place is constructed from the purest wood.

In a place like Wardland, where flesh and blood are everywhere, such a building is like a house made of gold; it looks extraordinary.

Of course, what's most unusual is that this thing was able to hold on, without losing a single brick or tile.

This shows that this place is indeed extraordinary.

"Gentlemen, is there something you need?"

"We don't accept outsiders here, and we don't have any commissions we can handle."

Jiang Shuzhou showed no sign of awkwardness; he simply pushed the door open and entered, completely disregarding the place.

"We're from the Soth Society, so we're considered one of our own."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

Upon hearing this, the receptionist's expression immediately became much more respectful.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After saying that, she began negotiating with the others.

"This is my proof."

Roland casually tossed out a silver-white badge.

This is a souvenir given to her by the Soth Society. Although it's nothing special, it's a rare and valuable piece of evidence here.

"By the way, this is the bounty mission I've assigned to you. If you'd like to do something, remember to consider us."

The receptionist took out a map as she spoke.

She didn't actually go and investigate directly.

After all, this thing looks different, not to mention it has anti-counterfeiting marks and a miniature magic array, so this thing is indeed Roland's.

Through these clues, she could deduce that Roland hadn't lied to her.

"How so? Find a job you like best."

Jiang Shuzhou said casually.

In any case, no matter what choice he makes or what he does, Jiang Shuzhou always finds a way to make things extraordinary.

"In that case, let's choose to obtain rare research materials."

Roland said casually.

For her, this kind of entrustment was simple and there shouldn't be any crisis along the way.

At least that's what Roland thinks for now.

"Give us a place to rest."

Jiang Shuzhou said that he didn't care at all about the messy conditions of the Roland mission.

Anyway, it's just a starting point, it's not very useful.
