A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 558 A New Legend

Standing in front of the mirror, Hayes carefully straightened his collar and looked at himself in his military uniform. Even now, he still felt a little dizzy.

Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.

Back then, he was a young man in his early twenties; now, he has started a family and established a career.

Perhaps, this is what time is all about.

Taking a deep breath to calm his racing emotions, Hayes straightened his back and strode forward toward the square in the capital.

Along the way, there were red carpets and flowers, and the surrounding area was filled with people who came to visit.

Despite being kept aside by the army, they remained enthusiastic, jostling each other to catch a glimpse of the man who was about to become a legend.

Times have changed. They had never seen such a high-ranking official before. If this had happened in the past, he would have had his eyes gouged out.

Hayes walked slowly down the wide red carpet, and then he saw Pierre and Devalin.

Pierre was dressed in formal attire, appearing extremely solemn and dignified.

Dvalin, on the other hand, remained in his old attire as a blacksmith.

The three people came from three different directions and eventually met together.

"I didn't realize it before, but I didn't expect this road to be so long."

Hayes said.

"I think it's okay. After all, hard work pays off, and we've made it this far."

Pierre sighed.

"Is it really that long? I think it's alright. It only took about ten minutes to walk."

Stretching his beard, Devalin was somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Hayes and Pierre both laughed, but neither of them refuted it.

Immediately afterwards, the group walked forward together.

In the square, Jiang Shuzhou stood before his own statue.

"Grace, do you think this statue made my legs look too short? I feel like my legs should be longer in proportion."

"Master, is everything below your neck a leg?"

"No, it's just that the craftsman made my legs look so short. Is he mocking my height?"

Subconsciously, Jiang Shuzhou slapped a big label on him.

Even after all this time, Jiang Shuzhou still can't forget the days he spent arguing with people on Blue Star Network.

Unfortunately, those days are gone forever.

From then on, once Jiang Shuzhou gained the ability to truly connect with others offline, no one dared to disobey him anymore.

Of course, the gods are an exception; these guys still dare to insult Jiang Shuzhou.

However, Jiang Shuzhou is now ready to expose them. A bunch of guys hiding in their shells. Once Jiang Shuzhou opens their boxes, he must teach them a lesson.

Grace, who was standing to the side, twitched at the corner of her mouth after hearing this.

"Master, if you want to kill someone, just say so, and I'll help you."

For Grace, a die-hard fan, Jiang Shuzhou's orders were absolute. If Jiang Shuzhou wanted to, she could kill as many people as she wanted without any problem.

"Forget it, let's have someone rework it."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and didn't take it too seriously. After all, he wasn't the kind of person who would exterminate someone's entire family over a trivial matter.

Although he certainly killed quite a few people.

However, that depends on who Jiang Shuzhou killed.

Among the people Jiang Shuzhou killed, aside from those enemies who were on opposing sides, there were only nobles and criminals.

Needless to say, neither of them was a good person, and their deaths can only be described as a good death!

"My lord, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Hayes and the other two had barely finished speaking when they were about to kneel down.

"Oh dear, it's such a trivial matter. Do we, as ruler and subject, need to discuss such things?"

Although he said that, Jiang Shuzhou did not actually try to stop him.

Sometimes, it's really important to figure out who's in charge.

Jiang Shuzhou can certainly treat scholars with respect, but that requires the other party to respect him first.

"Alright, get up, don't kneel anymore, it's nothing."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, indicating that Hayes and the other two could stand up.

Upon hearing this, the three of them quickly stood up and thanked him.

Jiang Shuzhou nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, I think you all know what we're here for."

"Since that's the case, I won't say any more. I hope that after you obtain legendary power, you will continue your efforts and not forget your original intentions."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand, and a massive will appeared.

"As I wish, seal the power of legend."

After he finished speaking, a tremendous force surged into the bodies of Hayes and the other two.

As this power surged in, the three of them rapidly increased their aura, quickly reaching the legendary level.

The legendary figures who came to witness the ceremony were so shocked that they were speechless.

They could sense that, unlike the imperial lineage, the three Hayes could live for several thousand more years, which was close to the lifespan of a normal legend.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Shuzhou looked at the legendary figures from the Senate with a half-smile.

"As expected of you, your skill is truly divine."

To this, the legend could only offer praise.

"Good, in that case, remember to sign a contract."

Jiang Shuzhou said.

Upon hearing this, the Senate legend's expression turned somewhat strange.

However, looking at the oppressive floating city above him, he didn't dare to say anything.

He dared not make the slightest move, otherwise, the floating city's artillery fire would not be to be trifled with.

"We'll need to consider that further, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

Jiang Shuzhou narrowed his eyes, looked at him and smiled, a smile that was indescribably cold.

"Hopefully so. If you still don't have results after a week, then I'm afraid our next meeting will be in the lab."

Upon hearing this, the legendary elder statesman trembled and quickly replied.

"No, I personally would be willing, but there will always be people who object, and we will find a way to resolve that."

Jiang Shuzhou neither confirmed nor denied this.

After he captured Caesar's city, some members of the Senate surrendered, but a group of people still resisted and refused to surrender.

Furthermore, they actually thought they could retain their executive salaries? That's wishful thinking; Jiang Shuzhou isn't that merciful.

Jiang Shuzhou's conditions were simple: the legendary members of the Senate would have to work for him for a thousand years, with half of their salary paid during that time. If they were still willing to stay after a thousand years, the other half of their salary, plus the salary for the next hundred years, would be considered a settlement allowance.

If you're unwilling, then we'll have to have a serious talk with you.

Now, these legends are stuck here.

This is why Jiang Shuzhou called this person over.

He was sending a message to the Senate legends that he was capable of creating legends on his own and did not particularly need their help.

If these people don't submit, Jiang Shuzhou really can throw them all into the laboratory.

After all, if you're unwilling to enjoy happiness, then you can only suffer.

Hopefully, they can see the situation clearly and be more pragmatic.
