A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 308 Moral Decline

"What do you mean by that?"

Professor Wang didn't quite understand.

"Do you have any heinous criminals who deserve the death penalty, and can be transported here for exile?"

"I heard the Alliance has established a stable connection with Earth, making transportation much more convenient. And you're probably short of foreign exchange, right?"

"Five gold coins per person, I'll cover the shipping costs, and it has to be someone who is truly guilty."

"Um... let me ask."

Professor Wang clearly couldn't make the decision.

"Okay, let me know if you get any updates. By the way, once you're here, don't even think about leaving. Don't try to get involved in anything. They're far more terrifying alive than dead."

Jiang Shuzhou made a pointed remark.

"Haha, of course, we would never do such a thing."

Professor Wang gave an awkward laugh, seemingly having been exposed.

Jiang Shuzhou curled his lip, not caring at all. Anyway, there were no secrets in this demiplane. Jiang Shuzhou would never let outsiders into places where there were real secrets.

Even if something that shouldn't have been mixed in is mixed in, it's just a variable.

To live, one must coexist with flesh and blood.

I hope they like it.

Having settled things with the demiplane, Jiang Shuzhou decided to pay attention to Denorchi, a place he hadn't followed for a long time.

Inside Shawshank Prison.

"grown ups."

Shawshank stood to one side, but his words became extremely respectful.

At that moment, Jiang Shuzhou knew that a thick barrier had already separated them.

"Why are you being so polite? Just call me Navis."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, completely unconcerned.

"Master Navis".

Shawshank spoke cautiously, knowing full well how this man could wipe out billions of fishmen with a wave of his hand and single-handedly fight and kill five high-level opponents.

To call someone cold-blooded and ruthless would be too mild.

If someone like this plague comes along, and I don't treat them well, then...

"Sigh, never mind, what about Denozie?"

Looking at the trembling Shawshank, Jiang Shuzhou sighed with emotion. The warden had once supported Jiang Shuzhou, but now he had such an attitude.

All I can say is that time and strength will change everything.

"Lady Denoz has killed quite a few merfolk; she is indeed exceptionally talented."

"What about human criminals?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked.

"This... um, this..."

Shawshank thought for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"There is still room for improvement."

It must have been difficult for him to say something like that.

"When do you execute death row inmates?"

"Ahem, it's available today."

It was originally scheduled for next month, but since Jiang Shuzhou asked, it's naturally available anytime, whenever he wants.

"Good, let Denozie go up in a bit."

Jiang Shuzhou walked quickly; he wanted to check on Denuozhi's current situation.

Bang bang bang.

Gunshots rang out, and one murloc after another fell to the ground.

The gun in Denoz's hand sparked, illuminating her blood-red eyes and giving them an eerie beauty.

Does killing your own kind make you feel guilty?

Jiang Shuzhou's voice came through.

Generally speaking, people like Denozzi who have experienced trauma are extremely resistant to harming their fellow human beings.

Denozie froze, and upon seeing Jiang Shuzhou, she hurriedly tried to explain.

"No, no, I just..."

Denoz's weak voice rang out, as if she hadn't been the one who had just killed the fishman.

"I understand your thoughts. Having a conscience is a good thing, but you should remember that some people are no longer human."

The hardest thing to do when killing one's own kind is to take the first step.

Jiang Shuzhou was in a dangerous situation back then, and he thought it was a game, so he didn't care at all.

What happened after it was discovered to be true?

Having killed people, he felt no guilt whatsoever. From that moment on, Jiang Shuzhou's morality began to plummet, eventually falling into an abyss of no return.

Of course, Jiang Shuzhou believed he still had a conscience; those he killed were not human.

"Come with me, I have prepared a teaching gift for you."

Jiang Shuzhou waved for Denuozhi to come over.

Soon, the two arrived at the execution ground.

On the execution ground, a dozen people wearing hoods were forcibly subdued by prison guards, who forced them to kneel on the ground.

Some were honest and obedient, while others used foul language and begged for mercy.

"Denozhi, which one do you want to kill?"

Denozhi hesitated.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuzhou was not angry.

Some people have high moral standards, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

"Thomas Hewitt, who used a sharp weapon to kill dozens of people with cruel methods, was sentenced to death."

"Charles Lee Ray, hiding inside a doll, killed more than a dozen victims, and then..."

Jiang Shuzhou began reading aloud the evidence of these people's crimes.

Do you want to hear the truth from them?

Jiang Shuzhou smiled slightly and said to Denuozhi.

"I……"

Before Denoz could speak, Jiang Shuzhou immediately released a True Word spell.

Then, they heard what these criminals were really thinking.

"Haha, good riddance to them! I only regret not killing a few more."

"The screams of a dying person, they are truly, beautiful!"

"..."

Cold-blooded and insane words reached Denoz's ears.

"Denozhi, don't let me down."

Jiang Shuzhou's words overwhelmed De Nuozhi's last shred of reason, or rather, her last bit of pity.

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, and the prisoner was frozen in place by the power of the magic, while the prison guards quickly left.

"Bang bang bang!"

Denozhi fired the shot.

puff.

A prisoner was shot, and a large hole burst open in his body, from which bright red blood gushed out.

"good."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, the prisoners' faces were uncovered.

"continue."

Denozhi looked at the faces of these criminals, his gun trembling slightly.

"Bang!"

But she still fired.

*Snap*, a prisoner's head explodes, and his soul is collected.

"Bang bang bang!"

The intervals between gunshots grew shorter, and Denozhi's hand became increasingly steady.

Soon, only one prisoner remained.

"I...I didn't do anything! Don't kill me! I was just praying to the gods!"

Denoz hesitated for a moment.

"Kill him. Don't let me down."

As Jiang Shuzhou spoke, at the same time, De Nuozhi's hand, which was about to pull the trigger, was covered by a large hand—Jiang Shuzhou's hand.

"I'll still help you; we'll share all the sins."

Upon hearing this, Denozzi did not hesitate and pulled the trigger immediately.

boom!

That man is dead.

Denozzi has undergone a transformation; her temperament has become sharper, devoid of naivety and compassion.

Shawshank, watching Jiang Shuzhou's actions, gaped wide-eyed and almost dislocated his shoulder.

Is this even possible?

This is outrageous!

Master Navis's PUA skills are terrifying, and his ability to manipulate people is too strong!

Young Denuozhi was like a rough gem, while Jiang Shuzhou was the sculptor, freely shaping him into whatever shape he desired.
