A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 675 Rain City

A torrential downpour raged through the deathly silent city, washing over every inch of the land. The once bustling city was now just an empty shell.

However, this city, which has been deserted for a long time, finally welcomed its visitors today.

And there was more than one batch.

"Will this rain cause any problems?"

Loken held his greatsword in his hand while cautiously looking around.

"I don't know, but the rain in Wardland is never a good thing."

Roland looked around solemnly, warily fearing that something terrible might happen in some corner.

The longer Roland spent in this world these days, the deeper his understanding of it became, and the more he felt that it was full of all sorts of wicked humor.

Here, the rain is not necessarily ordinary rain; it may be a dissolving rain that can melt people, or a time rain that ages people, or even a spatial rain that tears people to pieces.

In short, none of them are good things.

Of course, it's not impossible for liquid magic stones to fall, but the probability is too small. Moreover, according to her perception, these rains do not contain magic power, so they are probably not liquid magic stones.

However, infection with magic stones is not impossible.

As a disease with a near 100% fatality rate, almost all the locals suffer from the Magic Stone Disease, but it has not yet broken out.

If there is no way to eradicate the root cause of the disease, these people will not live past sixty.

However, what's rather ironic is that ordinary locals never have to worry about these things, since the vast majority of them don't live past sixty, so they aren't afraid of dying from the explosion of the magic stone.

Even dying like this would at least give you some dignity, since this place holds things more terrifying than death.

If Roland were to give his opinion on this place, his assessment would be: Don't come here. It's a complete cesspool, designed specifically to torture people.

But Roland felt relieved when he thought that this place was actually the venue that the master used to hold competitions.

If the environment here is so nice, does that mean Jiang Shuzhou is making these people come here for a vacation so he can compete here?

This area is still within the ice wall, so the enemies you encounter are generally not too terrifying. Only those contestants at the Saint Realm level can truly feel despair.

Within the ice wall lies urban repression, meaning the forces of order have gained the upper hand. Generally, there aren't many madmen; at most, it's just playwrights who will stop at nothing for the sake of the script causing minor disruptions.

Outside the ice wall, it's a battle of gods.

Ordinary legendary figures from the Holy Realm are no match for them there; they die instantly.

There are countless terrifying creatures of flesh and blood there, and numerous moving behemoths live there, with frequent and outrageous disasters.

Various factions are fighting each other so fiercely that people's brains are practically turning into dog brains, and countless small towns are destroyed every day.

It's simply not a place fit for humans.

"This rain is wonderful; it's perfect for the city, like a sleeping beast about to awaken after the rain."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

"Indeed, but that's not the point. The point is how we get in."

Roland gave a perfunctory reply, and then said...

She had no clue about the rain. After conducting experiments on animals, no abnormalities were observed, as if the rain were just ordinary rain.

"Redkian, the City of Rain, is shrouded in torrential rain all year round. All those who ventured there to explore never returned."

Warren's tone carried a hint of seriousness.

"If it really doesn't work out, we can leave first. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we'll be in big trouble."

A kind-looking, honest man held a precision marksman rifle in his hand and said.

This is Li Huo, the musketeer, who doesn't talk much.

"This exploration is of great importance. Upon completion, there will be not only substantial rewards, but also many privileges, and even a promise from the city—one for each person."

Roland said.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The promise of the city...

They all have something they want to acquire, whether it's a rare material, some knowledge, or wealth and status, all of which can be obtained through the promise.

They could even use this promise to secure shelter, ensuring the safety and stability of the shelter they created thereafter.

Anyone would be tempted by that.

"Let's do it!"

Finally, after weighing the options for a long time, they all gave up on the idea of ​​heading back home.

Life is about striving.

You won't know how capable you are until you push yourself.

"I think you should have a way, right?"

Finally, Roland turned his attention to Jiang Shuzhou.

"What are you saying? I'm not omnipotent."

Upon hearing this, Roland's face instantly showed a hint of disappointment, and he then decided to find another way to enter the city.

"But coincidentally, I have a way."

Jiang Shuzhou added.

This roundabout way of speaking almost made Roland furious.

Just say it all!

"Come on, look what this is?"

Jiang Shuzhou rummaged through his spatial ring for a while and then pulled out several transparent culture jars.

The thing inside is the embryo of something, and it's impossible to tell what it will look like when it grows up. Right now, it looks like a flesh-colored sapling.

"What is this?"

Before Jiang Shuzhou could explain, Roland asked.

With her expertise in the Dao of Flesh and Blood, she could only tell that this thing was a creation of flesh and blood, and could not see anything else.

"This is a tool beast! My greatest invention!"

Jiang Shuzhou said in a proud tone.

"What's the use?"

"See, you just don't understand, do you?"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuzhou began his explanation.

Finally, after Jiang Shuzhou's half-day explanation (and boasting), the others finally understood what this thing was used for.

In short, they are flesh and blood creatures that can change at will and have a variety of pre-made tools and items.

Furthermore, it has excellent resistance to anomalies; anomalies in space and time are unlikely to affect it.

Without a doubt, this is a good product.

The only downside is that it's expensive.

Although they were all in the same team, Jiang Shuzhou and his brother were very clear about their finances, so he naturally wouldn't give it away to others for free.

After all, once this thing is used, it becomes bound to its owner, and no one else can use it. If it were free, Jiang Shuzhou would be at a huge loss.

"How about this, we'll deduct this from your share and give me a larger portion, okay?"

"it is good."

After a moment of silence, the group nodded in agreement.

"Use mental power to control it, and feed it with battle aura or magic power. Don't forget to do this in the future. Of course, it's best to feed it more meat."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

He then distributed the tool beast larvae to several people.

Then with a snap of his fingers, a flesh-colored umbrella appeared in his hand.

The umbrella looks like human skin, only much smoother. It has bones for support and skin for the canopy. There are also two eyes on the umbrella, which are watching everything around them.

Then, holding up his umbrella, Jiang Shuzhou entered the city and slowly walked into the rain.
