The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 44

These two spells can effectively fill his current shortcomings and enhance his self-protection ability. Moreover, there are very few spells involving space. Most of them can only be learned in the early stages of a great wizard. Only such primitive inheritance as witchcraft can allow a formal wizard to master them in advance.

Of course, this does not mean that ancient witchcraft was more advanced than modern magic.

Just like that famous saying goes—so, Dog Egg, what will be the price?

While this primitive witchcraft allows wizards to master the power of space ahead of time, the price is significant side effects, and it may even pose a life-threatening risk during the learning process!

While modern spatial magic can only be learned at the Grand Wizard level, it is safer. Even if you learn it step by step and are a little more aggressive, if something goes wrong, you will only suffer a mental shock and will be fine after resting for a month or two at most.

However, perhaps because it was quite dangerous, the two spells together only earned him 1,862 merit points. He had a little left, so he casually selected some magical materials to make up the remaining 2,000 merit points. Isaac then handed the spellbook to the tower spirit, and sat on the sofa leisurely drinking milk, waiting for the tower spirit to bring the items over.

"Huh? Isaac? What are you doing here?"

Isaac was drinking milk when suddenly, Princess Philo came down the stairs and looked at Isaac in surprise.

"Princess? I'm here to exchange merit materials. What about you?" Isaac looked at Philo curiously. Didn't she have her own mage tower? She couldn't possibly be here to ambush him, could she?

“I’ve told you many times, just call me Philo.” Philo walked to sit opposite Isaac, and with a flick of her wrist, a golden token appeared. “Coincidentally, I’m here to exchange something too.”

"Huh? The Emperor's Token?" Isaac's pupils contracted slightly, not only because he felt a deadly threat from this token, but also because this token was the very thing he had seen in the manual before!

-

Imperial Decree: Summons the power of the Terran Emperor, capable of instantly killing any higher life form or lower within the Empire! (If a deal with the Outer God fails, the Emperor can repel the Outer God, averting all costs. The Imperial Decree will be revoked upon use.)

-

"Are you going to make a deal with the Outer Gods?"

“Well, we’ve accumulated enough merit points over this period of time. We’ll take a gamble before the Genie’s Lamp Trial. If we succeed, our chances of victory will be even greater.” As she spoke, Philo smiled and shook the token in her hand.

Isaac's lips twitched slightly. Well, now he knew why Filo, the princess of the empire, chose to become a mad witch. So she wasn't afraid of failure...

So it turns out they're the wicked second-generation rich kids!

he tui!

Isaac despises this kind of person from the bottom of his heart!

All he knows is to rely on his father's glory, unlike him, who can only rely on himself!

"Since we've run into each other, shall we go and take a look?"

"Is this appropriate?" Isaac was slightly taken aback. The ritual of exchanging with the Outer Gods was the Mad Witch's specialty, and it was something that could be revealed so easily.

"It's okay, we're teammates, we should trust each other more," Philo said sweetly, tilting her head.

"Thank you for your trust!" Isaac nodded gratefully.

In reality, she curled her lip in disdain. "They make it sound so nice, but isn't it just because others can't learn it? There are no tricks to it, it's just because they have a good father they won't fail."

At the same time, Isaac became more wary of Philo; the guy was being far too enthusiastic.

Chapter 66 The Cheater and the Witch

A short while later, the tower spirit delivered two spellbooks and a small box of magical materials to Isaac. Carrying the items out of the mage tower, Isaac casually tossed out a pumpkin, which conjured a pumpkin carriage. After putting the items inside, he looked at Philo.

"Hmm, which way do we go?"

Filo withdrew her gleaming eyes, revealing a sweet smile once more, and said, "Let's go to my mage tower. Perfect timing, to meet our other teammate and get used to things beforehand."

"Adapt?" Isaac raised an eyebrow; it seemed this witch's abilities were quite unique.

Unfortunately, when faced with Isaac's question, Philo just smiled mysteriously and offered no answer.

Isaac didn't ask any more questions, immediately transformed the pumpkin carriage back into its original form, and then put it away.

"Huh? It can be used to store items?" Philo blinked, looking bewildered as Isaac put the pumpkin away. The things she had just put into the pumpkin carriage hadn't fallen out. Could this [Legend] really be used like this? She had thought Isaac was going to drive the carriage there.

"It's a new trick I recently came up with, but it's still a bit troublesome and can't compare to a real spatial artifact." Isaac shrugged helplessly and glanced at the gold bracelet with rubies and emeralds inlaid on Philo's wrist.

If he had spatial artifacts, why would he have developed such a troublesome method?

Moreover, this is not without its costs. During the time he puts the items into the pumpkin, he will maintain the magical energy consumption required to turn the pumpkin into a pumpkin carriage. Although the consumption is not very large, it will be difficult to sustain for a long time.

“That’s still amazing,” Philo said, shaking her head in praise.

Isaac smiled and didn't continue on that topic. Instead, he and Philo continued discussing totem crafting as they walked toward her mage tower. He noticed that Philo seemed to genuinely enjoy discussing this subject.

That's understandable, though, since the divine species involves the realm of gods. Even though it's only a tiny part of it, it's enough to drive most wizards crazy!

Especially wizards who are skilled in alchemy!

In the realm of alchemy, one of the greatest achievements is the creation of a god!

So it's normal for her to be curious about this.

Unfortunately, even though Isaac had completely taught Philo the God Network modification surgery, she still couldn't master it.

The reason is simple: this surgery is extremely dependent on Isaac's cheat codes. Without the ability to infinitely accumulate spells and ritual effects, it is impossible to complete. Even though Isaac has optimized it a lot, the success rate is still extremely low without using cheat codes. It is roughly estimated to be only one in a thousand.

In fact, there are many similar techniques in Isaac's current research system. While his "golden touch" can make some of his research very smooth, these techniques also lose their communicative nature after the addition of a huge number of variables.

Despite his efforts to simplify, many technologies still fall into this category, such as the awakening of the dragon bloodline in the dragon lizard, and this divine network modification technology...

This simplification, though cumbersome and not particularly significant for his research, was necessary.

Firstly, it can help him further organize his knowledge, which can also be considered a review process. Secondly, he always needs to communicate with others. It is not advisable to work in isolation. If knowledge does not circulate, it will not be of much meaning.

For example, if Isaac's god network modification surgery had a higher success rate, he could have used it to exchange more knowledge with Philo, instead of simply using it to repay the "favor" of the Outer God ritual as it is now.

Philo's mage tower wasn't far from the Royal Mage Tower, just across the street. While wizards weren't as physically strong as knights, their magical abilities were still quite good. After walking and chatting for a while, the two quickly arrived at Philo's mage tower.

Her mage tower was not tall, only five stories high, and could not compare with the other two towering mage towers.

Firstly, since she was only a formal wizard, there was no need to build the mage tower too high. Secondly, this was the imperial capital, right under the emperor's nose, the safest place in the entire empire, so there was no need for too many defensive measures, and naturally, the scale was not large.

Moreover, in terms of defensive capabilities, Philo's Mage Tower is not much different from the other two Mage Towers. However, the Tower of Truth and the Royal Mage Tower also have reception services and rental laboratories, so they are larger in scale.

But its overall performance is actually the same as hers; both are stripped-down versions of the mage tower.

The reason is simple: this is the capital, the safest place in the entire empire. If you set the defense level so high, who are you going to defend against?

Therefore, even living under the emperor's nose is not an easy thing to do.

When Isaac and Philo arrived at the mage tower, Isaac found that his former second brother Remington and his fiancée were already waiting at the door.

Isaac looked at Philo with a puzzled expression. Philo smiled mischievously: "The more people, the more successful you are. It's my secret trick, don't tell anyone!"

Isaac leaned back slightly, his face expressionless, but his mental defenses rose another level!

"Second Brother, it's been a long time."

"It hasn't been long, only three days," Remington said helplessly, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Isaac smiled slightly and said nothing. His second brother was still the same as always. No matter how dirty he did, he always remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. He really had a thick skin.

It's a pity he wasn't very bright; otherwise, he would have been a great candidate for politics.

"Since it's only a few days, let's skip the pleasantries and go inside." Philo waved her hand and led the three into the mage tower, then all the way to the rooftop.

As soon as Isaac stepped onto the rooftop, his heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

"Tear!!"

"Kaka!!"

At the same time, the rat and Hamon reacted, and two ferocious and terrifying giant claws appeared on the left and right. The pale bone claw and the purplish-black demonic claw quickly crossed, protecting Isaac in their palms!

"boom!"

Just as he was preparing to defend himself, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly slammed into Isaac!

Looking in the direction from which the spiritual pressure was coming, Isaac saw the back of a girl!

The girl wore a white dress, her beautiful black hair cascading down her back. She seemed to have some problem with her legs, sitting quietly in a wheelchair. A single glance from her evoked a feeling of pity in one's heart…

however!

This is just a superficial phenomenon, a normal person's perspective!

From Isaac's perspective, above the girl floated a malevolent spirit shrouded in dark energy!

The evil spirit hovered above the girl, protecting her with a ferocious claw even larger than Harmon's, while its other claw was aimed at Isaac, seemingly ready to attack at any moment!

That immense spiritual pressure was emitted by the evil spirit!

Thank you to the psionicist for the 500 Qidian coins!

Thank you for your support

Chapter 67 Damn it! Original

Isaac's sudden action startled Prince Norns' daughter and Remington. They couldn't see the evil spirit above the girl's head, so they clearly didn't understand Isaac's behavior.

Philo, who was walking ahead, noticed Isaac's actions, turned around to look at Isaac, and smiled slightly with satisfaction.

Clearly, she had anticipated that Isaac could see it and was quite pleased with his swift and cautious approach.

"Calm down, don't be impulsive. As long as you don't hurt Angel, the evil spirit won't act recklessly." Philo gestured with his right hand, indicating to Isaac not to be nervous.

"Harmon, Mouse, put away for a moment." After disarming Mouse and Harmon, Isaac looked at Philo with a puzzled expression. "She's a summoning witch? She doesn't seem like one."

Although Isaac hadn't met many witches, he was quite knowledgeable about contract magic. Even witches needed to rely on contract magic when summoning creatures, so there would be some subtle connection between them and their contractors.

He did not perceive any connection between Angel and the evil spirit.

"Because she really isn't. Angel's magic is called the Book of Time, which can change the past! This evil spirit was attracted by her power and spontaneously protected her; there was no contract between them."

"Change...the past?!" Isaac was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened as he stared at the girl in the wheelchair who was slowly turning around. "Holy crap! The...the Primordial Witch?!"

Seeing Isaac's shocked expression, Philo nodded in empathy.

Original Witch refers specifically to a witch whose awakened magic is extremely powerful. Usually, only witches who can manipulate the forces that constitute the world, such as time, space, and fundamental forces, can be called Original Witches!

They are called that because their magical power is so strong that it cannot be contained within their bodies, thus condensing into a magic book.

Unlike other witches, the Primal Witch can gradually gain control of her immense power through this magic book, and she is unlikely to lose control.

According to The Wizarding Path, the origin of wizards is said to have been based on the original witches.

The power to manipulate time...

Isaac looked at Angel with complicated emotions. Even Isaac couldn't help but feel jealous in the face of the Primal Witch. This was truly a gift from God!
