A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 580 The Eve of the Wedding

The messenger brought new news: the union of one legend with several others.

Everyone knows that a new era has begun.

When the invitation was delivered to Finrod of the Elven race, he was observing the Elven World Tree.

"Your Majesty, this is an invitation."

"It was an elf who said that."

"Okay, go down."

Finrod waved his hand, signaling the elf to step back; he had anticipated Jiang Shuzhou's invitation.

The Elf World Tree before them emitted a soft light, but within that light, a faint, almost imperceptible crimson hue had appeared.

Even Finrod was completely unaware; he only instinctively felt that something was wrong with the Elven World Tree, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"To my dear elven friends, may our friendship last forever, and may the distance between us grow ever closer..."

It started with a long string of polite words.

"I hope that you and your clansmen can come to my wedding and add to its splendor. As a distinguished guest, please be sure to attend, as there are surprises waiting for you at the wedding."

"Respectfully presented by Jiang Shuzhou (Navis Lebo), Master."

Looking at the letter, Finrod lowered his head and began to ponder.

Should we go or not?

If you don't go, you'll incur the displeasure of a legendary faction; if you do go, you might gain the goodwill of a legendary faction.

Although they were preparing to take action against Jiang Shuzhou, now was not the time. Moreover, the situation was tense, and the Elf World Tree was about to undergo a transformation. They didn't need to make an enemy.

As he pondered this, Finrod decided to use divination magic to foresee the consequences of his decision.

However, he quickly stopped himself from having that idea.

As we all know, prophecy is not a good thing; it has almost no effect other than fixing one's own future.

If the future is good, that's fine, but if the future is bad, once it's predicted, then everything is over.

With this in mind, Finrod decisively chose to abandon the prophecy.

Looking at the swaying Elven World Tree, Finrod couldn't help but pray.

"Mother Goddess, what do you think? Should I go or not?"

However, the World Tree, which currently lacks a personality, will not answer his question.

Finrod was well aware of this, so he didn't expect the Elven World Tree to respond to him.

The answer is actually revealed when the coin is tossed.

Finrod gazed at the enormous tree before him, admiring its sacred appearance, and made up his mind.

He will bring the legends of the Elven race to Jiang Shuzhou's wedding.

Immediately afterwards, Finrod left the vicinity of the Elven World Tree and returned to his dwelling. He then wrote a reply and delivered it to the Elven messenger.

The letter was quite simple. First, it was a mutual compliment, then it acknowledged Jiang Shuzhou's contributions to build a closer relationship, and finally it awkwardly expressed agreement.

Without a doubt, Finrod took the bait.

He had no idea that Jiang Shuzhou had long planned to take action against the elves.

The reason it didn't manifest earlier was simply because it was waiting for the right opportunity.

Once the time is right, Jiang Shuzhou will kill elves without even blinking.

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.

"Professor, the elves have replied."

Denuozhi, dressed in a white robe, stood beside Jiang Shuzhou.

At this time, Grace had been sent by Jiang Shuzhou to do experiments, and these paperwork tasks were managed by Denozhi.

You know, it's not easy to write personal letters to so many legends.

"How so? Are they willing to come?"

If the elves are unwilling to come, then Jiang Shuzhou plans to take drastic measures and launch a blitzkrieg against them.

However, the elves were quite pragmatic and at least did not dare to refuse Jiang Shuzhou's invitation.

"Of course we are willing. Finrod of the Elf race will bring several Elf legends to the wedding banquet."

Jiang Shuzhou smiled at this, but the smile was somewhat sinister.

"Arrange for them to stay in Banquet Hall Number Two and treat them well."

Jiang Shuzhou arranged a banquet hall for each guest, but the so-called Banquet Hall No. 2 was actually a banquet hall full of traps.

There is no doubt that this place was prepared for the elves and their allies.

When the time comes, Jiang Shuzhou will arrange for the elves to enter the banquet hall, as well as the mages and legends who are close to the elves.

Once the wedding begins, this place will soon become a hall of death.

Jiang Shuzhou didn't care that his wedding would turn into a bloody one; as long as he could get things done, that was all that mattered.

"Yes, Professor."

Seeing Jiang Shuzhou's cold expression, De Nuozhi naturally understood what his teacher was thinking.

However, she didn't say anything and just silently accepted it.

Although it was hard to accept that someone died at her own wedding, since sometimes Denozhi would imagine what her future wedding would be like, she probably never imagined that her future wedding would be held under such circumstances.

However, Denoz has come to terms with it now; the wedding isn't important, the people are.

If you're with the right person, a wedding is just a formality.

"Alright, get ready, let's go on stage and give our presentations and publish our papers."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and then spoke.

For Jiang Shuzhou, the most important thing now is to fulfill his past promise and clear the name of the inventor of the magic network named Matt.

This was something Jiang Shuzhou had always promised, but due to various reasons, he was never available or chose to postpone it for some other reason.

After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot be discussed casually.

But things are different now. Jiang Shuzhou is now capable of keeping these people in check, and it's time to clear Matt's name.

"Summon the monks and tell them that I have made a significant discovery that I wish to share with you all."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and then said.

Immediately afterwards, he began to think about writing his thesis.

Without a doubt, Jiang Shuzhou wants to discuss the true founder of the Magic Network System.

This was something Jiang Shuzhou had already agreed to.

Soon, it will all be over.

The very next day, Jiang Shuzhou's paper was published.

Corrections to the History of Magic Network

In this paper, Jiang Shuzhou corrected the wrongs and removed Mystra's name from the list of masters of the magic network.

This shocked all the mages in the entire mage community.

So, the magic net wasn't invented by Mystra after all?

Is the Goddess of Magic Network actually someone who steals the fruits of others' victories?

Such explosive news, once released, astonished countless mages.
