The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 135

After all, it's very difficult to level up a wizard, even for someone like Isaac who can use cheat codes.

For example, regarding body modification, the Grand Wizard stage requires nine body modifications, and he has only completed two so far. Originally, the transplantation of the Magic Eye was supposed to be done before the ceremony, so that the advancement ceremony could be completed at the same time.

However, the Kaleidoscope Eyes need to be transplanted to the space between the eyebrows, and he is only 90% sure about it. The remaining issue is not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of experience.

Since it's his own head, he has to be careful, so Isaac plans to practice on it before transplanting it on himself.

Besides, plans can't keep up with changes. This ceremony was too large in scale, so large that he didn't dare use it to promote himself. In addition, after each transplant surgery, it takes time for the transplanted organ to integrate with the body, which doesn't allow for that in terms of time.

Therefore, the ceremony had to be performed first.

"Whoo~"

"Hmm?" Isaac, who was sensing the changes in his own power, suddenly noticed the changes in the sky. He looked up and saw that the previously hidden barrier was beginning to appear and then slowly fading. This was a sign that the barrier was being dispelled. At the same time, this also meant that the war in Etra was finally over!

Isaac's eyes flashed, and the violent magic in his hand rapidly expanded. Then he casually threw it down, and instantly appeared in front of Rona, unleashing his privileged magic, Desperate Rabbit.

then……

"boom!"

A purplish-black energy ball rose from the castle, erasing the entire castle, along with the remnants of the two rituals inside!

Inside the energy sphere, Isaac emerged with a terrified Rona.

This is not his laboratory after all. He has conducted two Outer God summoning rituals in succession, one of which was on an extremely large scale. If the traces are not completely erased, this place could become an anchor point for Outer God invasion if it is used by someone with ulterior motives!

Therefore, it must be destroyed, and ordinary methods will not work, because it will be restored by time magic.

In this world, simply reversing the time of matter is not a profound form of magic; even a high-ranking wizard can learn it.

Fortunately, this time Isaac's dimension incorporated a portion of the concept of "profound," making the destructive power of magic even stronger. It could completely erase the traces of the ritual here, and even the power of time could not restore it!

Unless it's a higher level of time authority!

But if it really is such a big shot who makes the move, then Isaac will accept it.

"Lord Isaac?" Rona looked at Isaac in surprise, somewhat confused as to why he suddenly destroyed the castle. The war was indeed coming to an end, but weren't they the victors?

Why does it seem like Isaac is in such a hurry, like he's about to flee?

“The situation has changed. We need to leave Etra quickly, otherwise there may be danger on the way,” Isaac said, continuing to look up at the barrier in the sky.

“This… I understand! I don’t need to prepare anything, and I can leave at any time!” Although Lorna was puzzled, she trusted Isaac and believed that he would not betray her.

Soon, under Isaac's gaze, the barrier in the sky faded more and more, and soon the azure sky could be seen.

"Go!" Isaac's pupils contracted, and he shouted in a low voice. A magical six-pointed star emitting red light appeared between his eyebrows. Behind him, shadowy spatial teeth marks appeared, and spatial rifts resembling the mouthparts of worms suddenly opened, swallowing Isaac and Rona.

The next moment, when they reappeared, they were already in front of Smith in the capital of Etra. At this time, Smith was clearing the ruins of the capital with his second brother, Remington.

The future capital of Etra will be built here, so the original ruins must be cleared first.

It must be said that although the Etra royal family has been quite inhuman in recent years, the original Etra king was actually quite virtuous, as can be seen from the choice of the capital city. Unfortunately, he gradually changed.

"Isaac?"

"Young Master Isaac?"

The two were stunned for a moment when they saw Isaac and Rona suddenly appear. Then, a look of joy appeared on Smith's face. Since Isaac had appeared here safely, it meant that the deal with the demon god had been successfully completed.

The madman Isaac has lived another life!

However, Isaac, who suddenly appeared, did not interact with them much. He only glanced at Remington, thought for a moment, and then spatial teeth marks reappeared behind him. He swallowed all three of them and their constructs in one gulp!

"Huh? Running so fast? Is this kid really a mad witch?" In the sky, Mensa, who was in charge of dismantling the barrier, noticed Isaac's movements. With his rich experience, he immediately understood what Isaac was thinking.

They were simply worried about retaliation from other forces, or perhaps they had their eyes on the treasures he was about to receive and were afraid of being intercepted. So, they took advantage of the moment when the barrier had just been lifted and everyone was still maintaining a facade and not daring to act rashly, and ran away.

Anyway, he'll definitely get his share of the spoils; they'll be sent to his territory later.

The others noticed this too, and their expressions were somewhat strange...

Well, this approach is absolutely correct. A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. After all, the Flesh and Blood Cult cannot control everyone.

but……

Aren't you a mad witch?

How can it be so stable?

Chapter 193 Is it okay to take out this online loan?

In the blink of an eye, Isaac led everyone back to the training ground of the territory. Liuli, who had been waiting on the side, bowed and then looked at the construct Remington, a murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Remington, the guy who betrayed his master in the capital!

Now, somehow they've been resurrected!

She absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen!

but……

Liuli glanced at Isaac but didn't make any further moves. She simply stood quietly to the side, holding a document about the recent developments in the territory.

"Phew~" After safely returning to his territory, Isaac breathed a sigh of relief; the biggest crisis was over.

Then, Isaac turned to look at Remington, whom he had brought back with him. In fact, Isaac no longer had any feelings for Remington, after all, he had killed him once.

However, this was merely his personal opinion, not that of his father and Caesar, so the outcome of his decision still had to be judged by Caesar and the others.

"You can stay here for the next couple of days. I'll have someone prepare a room for you. You can't go anywhere until your brother and his men arrive."

Upon hearing this, Remington withdrew his gaze from surveying Isaac's territory, looked at his third brother who felt completely unfamiliar to him, and said calmly, "I am now under the direct jurisdiction of Prince Norns. Are you sure you want to force me to stay here?"

"Heh~ Don't try to pressure me with the prince. If it were the emperor, I would release him without hesitation, but the prince... heh~" Isaac chuckled.

Generally speaking, a noble's title is linked to their strength, because a knight's path to mastery requires sufficient territory and subjects to support him, just like Solomon.

But this is the general case; where there is a general case, there is also an unusual one.

The so-called "extraordinary" refers to royal family members like Prince Norns. They are royalty, and even if they don't have much power, they are usually given a decent title and a sum of money, and then left to fend for themselves.

Prince Norns is one of the more outstanding ones here, but his own strength is limited. He is only a high-ranking knight, but he may have attracted many strong people by virtue of his power.

However, given the current situation of the Terran royal family, it is impossible for them to allow any royal power to take action against Isaac. They have finally managed to resolve the conflict, and before a new demigod pillar emerges in the empire, they cannot afford to take action against Isaac.

Of course, Isaac's real reliance is not the Terran royal family. Once he has digested his gains, he will be able to put up a fight against a true high wizard, instead of simply running away.

Although Remington didn't know the source of Isaac's confidence, he did know one thing—Isaac was a mad witch!

Therefore, he had no doubt that Isaac was capable of doing such a thing.

“Don’t underestimate the prince. He’s not exactly a conventional person, and he probably has some conflicts with our Solomon.”

"We Solomon? Ha~ Do you still have the right to say that now?" Isaac smiled disdainfully, then waved his hand, signaling Smith to take him away, while he led Rona and Liuli toward the newly built mage tower behind the castle.

This is an extraordinary world with a high level of productivity, but only the extraordinary and noble can benefit from it; ordinary people cannot enjoy it.

Sure enough, while Isaac was out, the mage tower that the Terran royal family had granted him was already completed.

Isaac's mage tower has nine floors, making it the highest-spec mage tower available. It also features space expansion technology, resulting in a very large interior space. However, Isaac can only use a small portion of it.

He glanced at Liuli's report, which was largely consistent with the plan he had made before leaving. Most of the space resources in the mage tower were idle. The first and second floors were used to raise monsters. The first floor was responsible for raising adult monsters, while the second floor was responsible for raising baby monsters. Most of the baby monsters were dragon lizards.

The third and fourth floors are unused, while the fifth floor is furnished according to the setup of a normal arcane mage, including a laboratory, a spell range, a potion room, an alchemy room, a ritual room, and a study.

A normal mage tower wouldn't be divided into such detailed levels, but this level was assigned to Rona by Isaac. Considering her current abilities, this is sufficient. It's not too late to prepare a separate mage tower for her when she needs one in the future.

However, given Lorna's current personality, that day is probably still a long way off.

The sixth floor is Isaac's laboratory, the seventh floor is Isaac's study, the eighth floor is the magic pool, which is responsible for the energy power of the entire mage tower, and the highest ninth floor is where Isaac holds ceremonies.

This is the highest point in the entire Mage Tower, which inherently occupies a high position and will bring considerable benefits in the ritual of dealing with the Outer Gods.

Meanwhile, the eighth level below is a magic pool, and the abundant energy ensures that even if something unexpected happens, he will have some ability to make amends.

Although the possibility of this happening in his hands is very low, low does not mean it won't happen. It's always good to be cautious in everything you do. As the saying goes, "Consider failure before victory," which is exactly the point.

Isaac was very satisfied with the mage tower after showing Rona and Liuli around. In addition to the spatial planning, the mage tower also had some spells set up.

For example, the most important barrier, the barrier of the mage tower, uses the Sirius Type III magic barrier. Although it is not the latest universal barrier, it is the most mature magic barrier and has a strong degree of flexibility. It can be modified according to one's own needs and areas of expertise.

Moreover, you don't need to have profound knowledge in this area, although it would be better if you did.

In contrast to defensive barriers, the attack system of the Wizard Tower is relatively simple, with only a spell multiplication system. Players can use the Wizard Tower's mana pool to cast spells, and the power will increase based on the amount of mana invested.

It can reach up to ten times!

Most importantly, as the ultimate weapon of the old wizarding era, this spell multiplication system works on all spells!

Whether it's privilege magic or power spells!

These are just the major aspects. Because Isaac's requirements were relatively low and the structure of the mage tower was relatively simple, they raised the standards in other areas separately.

For example, the magical training grounds on the first and second floors use the highest-level version below the third tier, which has a good effect on the growth of monsters and is said to increase the probability of monsters' bloodline awakening.

However, this was only better than nothing for Isaac, since he had more powerful higher spells.

But the other "small things" are more affordable. Both his and Rona's labs have configurations that are about 30 percent higher than the original plan!

Don't be fooled by the fact that this is less than half; when converted into gold coins, it's a whopping three million!

And you might not even be able to buy them!

In short, that was incredibly thoughtful.

After a quick look, Isaac handed over the chores of the territory back to Smith, and then took Liuli and plunged into the laboratory. He wanted to optimize his software as soon as possible so that it could match his newly upgraded hardware.

Before heading into the lab, Isaac didn't forget to send a letter to Caesar and the others, briefly mentioning that his second brother, Remington, had been resurrected but had become Prince Norns's lackey.

Of course, the wording will be slightly more euphemistic.

……

three days later.

"Zizi~"

On the sixth floor of the Mage Tower, Isaac looked at the energy ball in his hand that was emitting black lightning, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.

During those three days, Isaac did nothing but study how to better develop and enhance his dimensional magic. He succeeded, but he also failed.

He succeeded because he truly pushed the dimensional magic to its limit using existing methods, and he failed because he pushed it too far!

He pushed it to the extreme, but his control over this new spell decreased significantly, and he might even injure himself!
