The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 87

After settling the beluga whale, Isaac's last task was complete, and he could officially begin his journey home.

Unfortunately, Evan had left Eastport with Servie long ago, otherwise he would have liked to say goodbye to him before leaving.

Although Evan's magic book still didn't completely help him understand how to advance using the evil god ritual, the large amount of knowledge related to the evil god ritual recorded in it still greatly benefited him.

The most obvious change is that he now has the ability to drastically modify the evil god's rituals!

It's no longer a simple, low-level modification like replacing materials; it allows for a complete adjustment of the types and quantities of ritual materials!

This step is very important because it means he will no longer have to go around collecting different evil god rituals for the same evil god.

He only needs to modify the evil god rituals he has used, and it is possible to turn them into evil god rituals that can still be used!

In other words, he can take any evil god he wants and exploit it to the death!

Scratching until you're bald!

Of course, Isaac wouldn't normally do that; it's too low-cost-effective. He'd have to take advantage of it every now and then, and it's best to do a desensitization test first before going all in at once!

……

A few days later, Isaac returned to his territory and, before he could even rest, received an invitation—an invitation from his eldest sister.

He was invited to a promotion banquet a month later.

Yes, at the same time as Isaac's advancement, Cheryl also finally completed the construction of the Grand Arcane and successfully advanced to the rank of Grand Arcane Master!

A great arcanist who is not yet forty years old!

A great arcanist from an earl's family!

Each of these points is worth celebrating, let alone the fact that they've all come together.

Therefore, many people were invited to this banquet.

and so……

"I need to prepare a good gift," Isaac said thoughtfully, stroking his chin.

Buying it directly is definitely not appropriate. He can't afford something that would benefit even a Grand Arcane Mage, and the other elder sisters wouldn't lack anything. So, it's better to focus on the sentiment, which means making it yourself...

Obtain power from an evil god?

Hmm, this isn't good. This isn't a surprise, it's a shock...

Others were not as accepting of the power of the evil god as he was...

Let's think about it some more. Anyway, it's a month from now, so there's plenty of time to prepare.

Setting the invitation aside, Isaac was just about to check on the changes in his territory over the past few days, mainly the breeding of demon rats, and dragon lizards... um, dragons?

Isaac paused for a moment, then stroked his chin and nodded. He roughly knew what would be appropriate to give: a bottle of Dragon Transformation Elixir. Nothing could be more suitable than that. Even a Grand Arcane Mage would definitely need a dragon familiar!

But there's no rush. He still has a lot to do right now, so he'll finish what he's doing first.

The Demon Rats are in good condition, but the only drawback is the lack of Glazed Glass. It's still a bit difficult for Holy Lord and Smith to get the trade of Demon Rats materials going.

However, that's about it. Everything else is fine. Both Smith and the Holy Lord are in better condition than ever before.

Smith has now stabilized his power. Although he is still somewhat sleepy, it no longer affects his normal life. As for Holy Lord, he is even more outstanding. He has become completely familiar with his own power and can now begin to learn secret arts.

Everything went as smoothly as he had predicted.

only……

These also need to be queued.

Sometimes things going too smoothly isn't good either; you can't manage your time, it's really...

A happy dilemma~

Isaac's lips curled up slightly. He put down the documents in his hand, turned around, and walked towards the laboratory. Given the importance of the matter, he needed to go to the Flesh Cult's dimensional headquarters first.

As he had guessed, after the Dragon Transformation Elixir was submitted and underwent some review, although it was still not possible to transform an ordinary dragon-blooded monster into a dragon with just one bottle of potion, the power of the Dragon Transformation Elixir that directly reached the dragon's bloodline still gave the high-ranking wizards in the project team a jolt.

Finding the right path means they've already achieved half the success for their current project!

The random evolution direction of dragon blood has always been a problem that has troubled them. Now it has been solved by a formal wizard with a potion. If they don't let him join, who will?

Are they those useless people who only get paid a fixed salary?

The only drawback is that the success rate of the Dragon Transformation Elixir seems to be lower than Isaac said. They have refined it many times according to the formula, but only high-level wizards can achieve the success rate that Isaac mentioned. Most high-level wizards cannot even complete the refining of the Dragon Transformation Elixir independently!

However, this is irrelevant. Since the high wizard has successfully replicated it, it means that this path is correct. All that's left is to continue refining it.

Therefore, they immediately contacted Isaac, who was still in East Harbor, through the magic book, and decided to make him a formal research member of the project team without even asking if he had advanced.

An opportunity to work with high wizards is naturally invaluable, so after Isaac returned and hastily dealt with matters in his territory, he went directly to the cult dimension.

That's one aspect. On the other hand, Isaac was also very interested in the problems with the Dragon Transformation Elixir.

Although Isaac's research on the technology based on the Golden Finger has a similar problem, it is not insurmountable, but the effect will be somewhat less effective.

Isaac is now very skilled at this kind of technical optimization. Logically speaking, even if there are errors, they shouldn't be this large, yet it requires a high-level wizard to complete the production...

This is somewhat strange.

Passing through the rift, Isaac returned to the Flesh Cult's dimension, but this time he did not appear in the teleportation plaza. Instead, he arrived directly on a floating platform above an island.

This is Dragon Island.

Of course, it's not the legendary Dragon Island that gave birth to all the dragons, but a Dragon Island built by the project team itself. It's inhabited by ordinary dragon-blooded monsters. Although there are three genuine dragons, they are not experimental subjects of the project team, but rather collaborators.

After all, although the Flesh and Blood Cult's motives for this dragon blood purification experiment were not good, it must be said that once the experiment was completed, it would be of great benefit to their dragon race!

Looking at the various dragon-blooded monsters on the island below, Isaac's eyes were filled with excitement. Dragon blood could actually awaken like this?

Among the dragon-blooded monsters on Dragon Island below, there are many ways to awaken dragon blood: limb transplantation, mating, bodily fluid exchange, and even acupuncture.

Looking down at the dragon-blooded monster covered in silver needles, Isaac was somewhat dazed. Could it be that there were fellow countrymen among them?

Of course, Isaac knew it was his imagination. It wasn't acupuncture, at least not the kind of acupuncture Isaac knew. After all, who would prick someone with acupuncture needles until they were covered in blood?

What he saw and heard on Dragon Island made him even more excited. Just by casually looking around, a lot of inspiration was flowing through his mind. What would happen if he actually got to use it?

As Isaac observed the monsters below, the floating platform beneath his feet slowly moved, eventually carrying him to a huge platform.

Isaac was stunned when he saw the huge platform that suddenly appeared in front of him. He glanced at Dragon Island, then at the platform, and suddenly his eyes widened. This looks like... a floating city?

Holy crap! Using a floating city as a laboratory?!

Chapter 132 Get rich overnight!

Although Isaac knew beforehand that the project team had money, he didn't expect them to be this rich!

They actually built a floating city to use as a laboratory!

For a moment, Isaac was even more eager to join the project team!

"Your Excellency Isaac, Lord Asan and Lord Klot are waiting for you in Laboratory 13. Please follow me." As soon as Isaac stepped into the floating city, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared beside him and said respectfully.

Just as the Mage Tower has a spirit, the Floating City naturally has a corresponding intelligent system—the Floating City Central Hub.

Isaac glanced curiously at the pointed ears of the floating central hub. An elf…

I just don't know if this is the designed appearance, or if it's how it actually looks...

Unlike the Tower Spirits, the floating city is too large, so artificial intelligence may not be able to control it well. Therefore, some wizards have taken a different approach and directly transformed some life forms into floating central hubs!

Of course, since it involves a powerful weapon like a floating city, the modifications are all voluntary. The subjects of the modifications are mostly people who don't have much time left or are seriously injured and dying. It can be said that they are living a second life in an alternative way.

However, as time goes by, artificial intelligence technology is constantly iterating, and now there are intelligent systems that can control floating cities, but it is unknown which one it is.

However, Isaac's attention did not linger on them for long. Instead, he quickly followed her, a hint of excitement on his face. The two people mentioned by the floating central hub were both high-level wizards, and one of them, Klot, was even a dragon!

Those two were far more attractive to Isaac than this floating central hub in front of him, who he didn't even know if it was an elf.

Led by the floating central control, Isaac wandered through a maze of turns and entered a gigantic laboratory. As soon as he entered, Isaac's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw it—an egg, a very large egg!

It's over twenty meters tall!

This is... a dragon egg?

Sensing the aura emanating from the giant egg, Isaac's expression twisted somewhat. He, Isaac, was no longer the clueless kid he used to be. Dragon eggs couldn't possibly be that big!

According to records, the largest dragon egg ever found was only a little over five meters tall, maybe twenty meters. Isn't that a bit too outrageous? Could it be a double-yolk egg?

Isaac's eyes flashed, and he instantly analyzed most of the data on the giant egg. Although it was very strong, it did only have a trace of life.

Incredible! Is it man-made, or a new species yet to be discovered?

There's too little information; it's impossible to tell the difference!

Isaac's eyes flickered, filled with intense curiosity.

Seeing his expression, the man and woman in front of the giant egg exchanged a smile. Now they were certain that the Dragon Transformation Elixir was indeed something he had researched himself, not only because of the intense curiosity in his eyes, but also because Isaac seemed to have really figured something out.

Yes, although he couldn't get any more information, Isaac still noticed something. This thing was probably man-made. Although the life force looked perfectly round, Isaac could still detect some ritual traces on the eggshell.

Although this giant egg may not have been made using ritual magic, most large-scale spells nowadays are basically simplified versions of rituals, so naturally some similar traces would remain on this giant egg.

Only someone like Isaac, who is skilled in rituals, could spot it at a glance; another wizard might not be able to tell.

However, that's all Isaac can tell; more detailed examination is needed to obtain more information.

"Greetings, Lord Asan, greetings, Lord Clot." After a brief moment of distraction, Isaac quickly regained his composure, strode up to the man and woman, and bowed respectfully.

This is a sign of respect for the strong.

The man and woman smiled and nodded. Yashan, on the left, said, "Tell us your thoughts on this little guy. You can take a look; its data is on it."

Isaac glanced at Ashan with some surprise, then froze, because behind Ashan, he saw a huge phantom, which was a dragon lying quietly on the ground.

Yes, Yalong.

He realized that this Ashan was not human when he first came in, but since he was far away at the time, he did not dare to look at him rashly. So it was only after he got closer that he discovered that Ashan had a strong dragon aura.

But it was only a sub-dragon.

Although it is a pterosaur species that is extremely similar to a pure-blooded giant dragon in terms of bloodline purity and appearance, a pterosaur is still a pterosaur, and there are still significant differences.

But Isaac quickly realized that it was true; it only mentioned that there were three dragons in the project team, but it didn't say that they were only Tier 3 dragons. For pure-blooded dragons, Tier 3 was just the starting point, but for most sub-dragons, Tier 3 was already the end.

Faced with Isaac's colorful gaze, Ashan did not show any dissatisfaction, but simply smiled and pointed to the huge dragon egg again.
