Chapter 422 You came and you still want to run away?
"Not bad, that was a decent answer."
Grace finished the test quickly, and Jiang Shuzhou was very satisfied.
Although there were some mistakes on the paper, she still got 78 points overall, which is considered a high score. After all, Jiang Shuzhou's expectation for Grace was 60 points, and he would accept her as long as she passed.
There was no other way; during the three years Jiang Shuzhou spent conducting experiments on the border of the Alliance, many alchemists recommended apprentices to him.
Unfortunately, there wasn't a single one who could fight.
They were all inferior to Denorchi, and Jiang Shuzhou looked down on them.
In fact, top talents like Denozzi are not easily outsourced. After all, they can be trained to become combatants immediately. At the same time, their alchemy talent is also quite good. Although they cannot compare with Jiang Shuzhou, they completed their own inventions within a year of advancing to the advanced level, which is rare in the Alliance.
Talented individuals of this caliber, once discovered within the territory of a legendary mage, are immediately accepted as apprentices, and may even become true disciples, specifically tasked with inheriting their mantle.
Jiang Shuzhou naturally couldn't find his ideal apprentice through introductions, since no one would turn away such a genius.
But that's okay. If you don't have a genius, you can create one yourself. Look, one just appeared in this dream, didn't it?
"Little girl, what's your name?"
Jiang Shuzhou said with a kind expression.
"Grace, I've forgotten her last name."
Grace said this while eating the food Jiang Shuzhou had brought.
"It's okay, the surname doesn't matter. From now on, you'll take my surname and be called Grace Jiang."
Jiang Shuzhou smiled, but his smile seemed a bit fake.
"Yes, sir..."
Grace seemed to be frightened.
"Still calling me 'Sir'? Call me 'Master'!"
"Yes, Master."
"Very good. Next, I will tell you about the duties of an apprentice. Please take notes."
Grace quickly finished her meal and took out a pen and paper to write it down.
"First of all, you will be responsible for my food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, including but not limited to washing clothes, cooking, doing chores, cleaning, bathing and scrubbing my back, doing housework, and so on."
"what?"
"Wait, I haven't finished yet."
"I'll teach you knowledge, and then you'll be responsible for letting me exploit you... cough cough, no, I mean, be my assistant. As for how long? That depends on my mood."
"besides……"
Then Jiang Shuzhou began to speak at length about the obligations Grace should fulfill.
In short, they were no different from slaves.
"Sir, if you want to enslave me, you can just do it. You don't need to explain to me."
Grace said weakly, she didn't expect that the person in front of her would want to treat her as a slave and make her do exam papers. Is this how slaves are these days?
"How many times have I told you, call me Master!"
"Also, I won't force you."
Jiang Shuzhou said.
"Can I leave now?"
Jiang Shuzhou smiled and nodded, then he opened the window.
Countless wails and screams came from below, clearly indicating that it was not safe.
"Come, please take this path."
Jiang Shuzhou smiled and pointed to the window.
At the same time, he used his strength to find several hunting dogs.
"roar!"
The hounds began to bark.
"No, no, Master, I accept it. As long as I can live, I am willing to be your slave."
Grace was startled by the scene and knew that she couldn't leave the room without becoming a slave, so she had no choice but to compromise.
"What are you saying? What are you saying! Do you know how many people dream of this position and would rather beg than have the chance?"
Would you beg to be a slave? You'd be in high demand.
Although she thought this way, Grace didn't dare to say it.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you willing to be my apprentice?"
Grace gritted her teeth, then managed to squeeze out a few words.
"I do."
"Very good. From today onwards, I am your master, your teacher, and your father. So from now on, you must treat me as you would your own father, understand?"
"Understood."
After saying this, Grace collapsed to the ground as if she had used up all her strength.
"Alright, here's the contract, sign it quickly."
Jiang Shuzhou handed over a contract.
Without even looking at it, Grace signed it immediately.
Her only thought now is that it's better to live a miserable life than to die.
Although it was a life like that of slaves, at least I was able to learn some skills.
Jiang Shuzhou had already begun to make plans.
The Dream Essence was used on Grace; this stuff can also be used on living things.
An alchemist with legendary potential is more valuable than any legendary material.
This one dream is more worthwhile than anything else.
Then, Jiang Shuzhou used magic to prepare to bring Grace back to reality.
However, Jiang Shuzhou's expression changed at this moment. He could feel that three forces had sealed off the dream.
The first stream comes from underground, the second from the sky, and the third from beyond the world.
It's obvious that this was the work of three gods.
At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou could also vaguely sense reality, and theoretically, he could break through directly.
But deep down, he felt he couldn't do that; if he did, it could cause a big problem.
Following his heart, Jiang Shuzhou did not attempt to forcefully break through the blockade, but at the same time, he had a goal.
As the saying goes, if a god is in your way, kill him; if a Buddha is in your way, kill him. Since someone isn't going to let him go, then just kill him.
A cold glint flashed in Jiang Shuzhou's eyes as he saw Grace standing to the side, trembling with fear, terrified that she might displease him and tear him apart alive.
"Master, if you are not satisfied, I can sign an even stricter contract with you, please don't be angry..."
"It's nothing, I'm not angry, I just have a goal now."
At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou looked at Grace, who was also an asset.
"Come on, don't sleep tonight, Master will show you something good."
After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou used magic to compile a large number of teaching materials.
At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou also prepared a gift for Grace, since she had just become his apprentice and he couldn't be too stingy.
"Let me show you what alchemy is!"
Immediately afterwards, as Jiang Shuzhou cast a spell, creating something out of nothing, a small and exquisite robe and a small magic wand gradually appeared in front of Grace.
"This is a gift for you. Study hard and practice diligently, and one day you will reach my level."
Jiang Shuzhou immediately started making empty promises to Grace.
Grace put on her robes, picked up her wand, and couldn't help but feel a little longing for the promises Jiang Shuzhou had made.
She had already envisioned her carefree and happy life ahead.
Unfortunately, she was overthinking things. Before that, she was going to be Jiang Shuzhou's slave.
"Hurry, hurry, learn quickly! Once you've mastered it, your master will take you to slay gods!"
Upon hearing this, Grace began to cough violently.
Isn't this a bit too big a leap?
