The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 203

Although this summons wasn't a test for Isaac as he had hoped, it was certain that he would be transferred away.

The prophecy about Isaac was not as predetermined as that of the Emperor; it was a common prophecy that could be avoided. Under such circumstances, the empire, which prioritized stability, would naturally not act rashly.

Of course, stability is the empire's principle, so Isaac cannot stay in the real world during this period!

They weren't sure if Isaac was interested in the Infinite Tower, so they could only send him there by issuing a summons.

To be honest, before Isaac entered the capital, they were worried that Isaac might respond to the summons. After all, he was such a genius. Geniuses are always proud and unconventional, especially since he was also a mad witch.

Fortunately, Isaac responded to the call to action, preventing the situation from escalating to its most awkward point.

"Alright, he's here. Now, we need to consider how to ensure he enters the Boundless Tower," a handsome man in fine clothes with bright red hair, exuding a cold aura, said coldly.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Princess Filo, who was sitting to the right of the eldest prince.

Chapter 276 The Grand gesture of the Terra royal family and the mature Filo

Although the eldest princess is far inferior to Isaac on the path of wizardry, as a fellow legendary wizard and a fellow mad wizard, she should still be very clear about what Isaac currently needs.

At least that's what other people think.

Philo didn't speak, but pursed her lips, then picked up the list in front of her and looked at it carefully.

The list didn't contain many items, only six. The first item was the Emperor's Decree, a one-time magical item that sealed a portion of the Emperor's power. Once used, it could directly repel most of the Outer Gods in the real world!

For Isaac, this is the most valuable thing the Empire can offer right now!

It also offers the best value for money!

The reason is simple: the Emperor's destined death is drawing ever closer, and the Emperor's Decree will lose all its power once the Emperor dies!

Therefore, the conditions for issuing this item were relaxed accordingly.

However, Philo's gaze did not linger on it for long, and she quickly glanced at it. For Philo, who had once regarded Isaac as a rival, although she was very unwilling, she had to admit that this thing did not have much value to Isaac.

Because the value of the Emperor's Token is not actually that outstanding, as a mad witch with the Emperor's Token at max proficiency, Philo has a lot to say about this. The most important point is that not just anyone can use the Emperor's Token. Only those recognized by the Emperor or the Empire can use it.

If an outsider or enemy obtains this item, they won't even need to activate it; they will be directly crushed by the Emperor's Will within the Emperor's Decree!

Someone like Isaac would never use something like that.

Judging from her own experience, if the Emperor weren't her father, Philo wouldn't have used the Emperor's Decree. Of course, if Philo weren't the Emperor's daughter, the Emperor's Decree wouldn't even exist.

Therefore, although the Imperial Decree is highly valuable, the demand for it is very low.

But the second one is different...

Philo's eyes narrowed as he saw that the second item on the list was none other than Francis's Life Derivation Technique, a spoil of war he had obtained from the treasury of the Kingdom of Ifans!

Among the spoils of war in the Kingdom of Ifans, this crystal ball is not of the highest rank, but for a faction, it is definitely the most practical!

Because it can create an almost endless number of soldiers!

Even though these soldiers cannot compare to elite legions, their numbers are simply too large. They are fearless and can overwhelm most extraordinary legions with sheer numbers.

But for Isaac, that madman, it was a different story...

For Isaac, this thing could produce a large number of sacrifices...

but……

Philo isn't sure if Isaac wants this right now. After all, Isaac had possessed it for a while after the Battle of Ifans. A complete replica is probably impossible, but Philo feels that Isaac can replicate some of the related technology.

So this is appealing to Isaac, but perhaps not enough; we'll have to see what happens next...

Thinking about it, Philo's gaze shifted downwards, looking at the four behind him—the Mirror of Souls, the True Artifact: The Box of Infinity, the Ouroboros Avatar Technique, and the third part of the Legendary Wizard Ascension Ritual!

The remaining four are ranked relatively low, but they are no worse than the first two.

The Mirror of Souls is similar to Francis's Life Derivation Technique, except that the latter creates a physical body while the former creates a soul. Legend has it that the two combined can create true life!

However, the truth remains unknown, because in mysticism, creating life in violation of the laws of nature is taboo and will be cursed by the world. Therefore, although the Terran royal family has collected these two treasures, they have never conducted any related experiments.

After all, there's no real need for it. Only wizards would be interested in such things, and even among wizards, it's a rather niche area. The extraordinary individuals in the Terra royal family are mainly knights, with a few following the path of wizards, and the royal mage order is mostly composed of perfectly normal arcane mages. They aren't particularly interested in such unorthodox fields.

Of course, even if it cannot be used to create life, it is still very valuable to create a soul. You know, a soul is a hard currency for devils and demons!

Even among the Outer Gods, there is a certain market for it, especially for a mad witch like Isaac. Like Francis's Life Derivation Technique, it is a standard professional divine equipment!

The True Divine Artifact - The Box of Infinity, the true divine artifact of the former God of Alchemy, theoretically capable of synthesizing all materials in the world.

The so-called true divine artifacts refer to artifacts with supreme power, which are created by gods using a portion of their own divine essence combined with a large number of precious materials. They are different from those artifacts that have only been used by gods and have been tainted with a little divine aura. They are much more powerful.

Some powerful true divine artifacts are no different from a god!

Of course, the Endless Chest is clearly not at that level yet.

Compared to the first four, the last two are relatively ordinary. Of course, this is only relative to Isaac. In terms of value, the last two are in no way inferior to the first four.

The Ouroboros Transformation Method is a knight training method that leads directly to the sixth rank. Upon reaching the sixth rank, one will transform into the legendary, immortal Ouroboros!

The third part of the Legendary Wizard Ascension Ritual, the one-sixth of the Legendary Wizard Ascension Ritual, the complete Legendary Wizard Ascension Ritual is the only way to become a Legendary Wizard besides the Great Creation!

However, like the Ouroboros Incarnation Technique, it was rather ordinary for Isaac. The former was because Isaac was a wizard and didn't really need the knight's training methods; it was only given to him because of Solomon's backing. As for the latter...

It would be useful, but Isaac doesn't need it.

As a genius of the Flesh and Blood Cult, once Isaac reaches that level, the cult will provide him not only with the knowledge of rituals, but also with the materials for those rituals!

That's a legendary wizard, a true top-tier fighter!

Therefore, compared to the first four, these two are really not good enough. So after thinking for a while, Philo crossed out the first Imperial Decree, and a magical light appeared at her fingertips, and a new name appeared on it - Miracle Lampwick.

“He can’t possibly accept the Emperor’s decree. Instead, take this; it’s what he needs most right now.” Philo placed the parchment on the table, and a magical light flickered. The contents of the parchment in front of everyone changed accordingly. “Next, we need to discuss how much he can take.”

Upon hearing Philo's words, the others remained silent, their expressions normal. After all, this was within their expectations. As long as Isaac could temporarily leave the real world, it would all be worthwhile.

The eldest prince's gaze lingered on the wick of the miracle lamp for a moment, then he looked at Philo with a gratified expression. The little girl who used to be so unruly just because she was a princess had finally grown up.

The Miracle Lamp Wick, a product of the Genie's Lamp Trials, has only one function—it can directly complete the construction of a [miracle]!

Chapter 277 The Road to the Empire's Redemption

Looking at the list of miracle lamp wicks, everyone paused for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.

Although the value of this item has skyrocketed at this time, they have to admit that it is indeed the most suitable item for this purpose. It seems that the eldest princess has indeed grown a lot over the years, and it is growing in a positive direction, unlike Isaac who ran wildly down the path of mad witch.

The reason is simple. First, the prophecy foretold that the empire would be destroyed by Isaac, who was at the third rank, not the fourth rank. Therefore, if he were to advance to the fourth rank, it would be a way to circumvent the prophecy in a sense.

Secondly, although the Miracle Lamp Core has incredible effects, it is not usually that attractive to a genius like Isaac. The fourth tier is not a threshold for him, but now it's different!

The Boundless Tower is about to appear. If you can enter the Boundless Tower now as a fourth-tier character and successfully complete the level, you will be perfectly promoted to fifth tier when you come out!

The fourth rank might not be a threshold, but the fifth rank is definitely a strong threshold for a genius like Isaac, especially since he is a mad witch!

Finally, the Empire and Solomon have some grudges, but these grudges are nothing in front of a fifth-tier legendary wizard.

It's nothing more than admitting fault and making compensation.

Even if they personally sent this fifth-tier legendary wizard.

But there's no way around it, that's just how reality is. Even in the extraordinary world, human relationships still matter.

……

Three days later, a line of luxurious noble carriages drove toward the palace, and the meeting convened by the summons was about to begin!

Three days later...

Yes, three more days passed. For Isaac, these three days were extremely boring. For the other nobles, these three days were essentially just a change of scenery for socializing, networking, and making friends.

As for Isaac, he ate at a different place and briefly pondered the new experiment, while also waiting for the Empire's arrangements for the Boundless Tower. Over the next three days, several nobles would be summoned by the royal family for special missions.

Isaac guessed that he probably had a similar mission.

Sure enough, just three days after the party began, when Isaac came to the palace again to "mooch a meal," a maid came up and bowed respectfully.

"Lord Isaac, this way please. Princess Philo invites you."

Isaac glanced in the direction the maid pointed, nodded, popped the pastry in his mouth, and walked in the direction the maid pointed while chewing.

It's finally here... Is a choice about to be made?

Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly, his face remaining expressionless, but he secretly gathered up magical power, ready to immediately escape into the dimensional world should the situation turn against him!

After a while...

Inside, Philo sat on the sofa, quietly sipping her black tea, while Isaac stared at the parchment in his hand with a look of astonishment. "Dude, I was all set to work my butt off, and this is what you're telling me?"

Isaac glanced at the parchment, then at Philo, paused for a moment, then casually circled the Miracle Lamp Wick and the Realm of Souls before handing it to Philo, asking directly, "What do you want me to do?"

Isaac didn't refuse, nor could he find a reason to refuse, after all, it was an opportunity to directly advance to the fifth rank!

Although it was very difficult, it was worth the gamble!

Besides, even if he fails, Isaac won't lose much, because he'll at least be a fourth-tier miracle wizard. As for whether those who took shortcuts might be weaker...

He will definitely be weaker, after all, it's a shortcut, but he won't be much weaker, because he is a legendary wizard. Knowledge is important, but the "legend" is also important. After advancing to the fourth rank, he will awaken a miracle spell. This spell is similar to a talent spell, with low energy consumption, fast activation, and extremely high power.

The specific type of miracle spell depends on the miracle itself.

Moreover, he also possesses the [Analysis] ability, an extremely powerful ability for wizards. With this ability, he can learn a series of fourth-tier wizardry in a very short time, thus acquiring the standard combat strength of a fourth-tier wizard.

The biggest difference between wizards and knights lies in this: for wizards, as long as they master the three types of spells of the same level—attack, defense, and movement—and can quickly cast them, they will have the basic combat strength for their current level.

But knights are different. In addition to their strength level, combat experience and mastery of their own power are also very important for knights. This is why shortcuts often come from the wizard's path, because only wizards can master combat methods appropriate to their current level so quickly.

“Well…you can look into this first.” Philo didn’t answer directly, but instead handed a book to Isaac.

"Hmm?" Isaac raised an eyebrow, opened the book, glanced at it casually at first, then his expression gradually became serious, and his expression became more and more solemn.

This is because the book contains information about the boundless tower!

Isaac looked up at Philo and saw him calmly sipping his black tea. He then turned his attention back to his book and began to read it seriously. It was exactly what he needed right now.

After a while, Isaac slowly closed the book, tapping the cover lightly with his fingers, looking thoughtful.

"Whom do you want me to help get promoted?" After a long pause, Isaac looked up at Philo.

Although it was a question, Isaac already knew who that person was.

The Boundless Tower, this great creation of the first generation, is even greater than Isaac imagined. In addition to its perfect upgrade to a magnificent and colorful design, its interior is like an endless sea, rich in resources, ranging from magical combat techniques to the dimension of divinity!

Moreover, unlike the Endless Sea, which requires exploration, these things in the Boundless Tower can be obtained by completing specific tasks.
