The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 93

In the garden, two little boys, about three or four years old, were playing a game of knights, each holding a straight wooden stick. Beside them, a plump young woman and a maid were watching them with a kind expression.

As he walked into the garden and saw the two boys playing, Isaac smiled, immediately squatted down, and stretched out a hand to them.

"Suckling sound~~~"

Chapter 139 Choice

"Suckling sound~~~"

"Snapped!"

Isaac was sucking on the dog when a clod of dirt hit him on the head. The young woman sitting by the garden rolled her eyes at Isaac and said irritably, "Are you teasing the dog?"

"Hehe~ Hello, sister-in-law." Isaac smiled brightly, patted his pants, and stood up.

"Uncle!" x2

The two little guys who were playing the knight game saw Isaac and dropped their sticks to run towards him.

Isaac had a good relationship with them. After all, he was very weak before he left home and couldn't do many things, so he could only play house with the children.

Isaac taught these two boys many of their games, and they're very close to him.

Isaac patted the two boys on the head, then looked at his sister-in-law, Caesar's wife, Serene Solomon.

"Sister-in-law, you go and rest first. I'll play with them for a while," Isaac said with a smile.

Serena Solomon, whose original name was Serena Joseph, was the daughter of an earl, but her marriage to her elder brother was not a political one. This was because her earl was a down-on-his-luck earl who had lost all his fiefdom and was now just a title.

She met her older brother Caesar during an adventure and went through many life-and-death situations together. She was originally a witch, but unfortunately, in order to ensure the safe birth of these two little ones, she sought out a witch from the Witch Kingdom to seal her own magic and magical power, which resulted in her being extremely weak, only slightly stronger than Isaac before.

Serena didn't stand on ceremony with Isaac; she nodded, got up, and left with the maid.

Although Gaia and the others were wary of Isaac's identity as a mad witch, and even distanced themselves from him because of it, Serly's own identity as a witch wasn't much better.

Therefore, in her eyes, Isaac was still her younger brother.

Watching Serena's departing figure, Isaac pondered for a moment before giving up the idea of ​​restoring Serena's strength. This was not his responsibility, nor could it be entrusted to a mad witch like him.

After all, the eldest sister has now successfully advanced to the rank of Grand Archmage, and has enough time to deal with this matter.

Serena's magic and power can naturally be restored, since it was only sealed, not removed. However, this is very difficult, and even if the people of the Witch Kingdom were to take action, the mortality rate would be extremely high.

Ultimately, it is related to the nature of the witch's power.

The witch's power comes from her bloodline, more like the bloodline sorcerers in Isaac's previous life's wizard novels. It's very simple for them to become stronger; they just need to tap into the power of their bloodline.

This kind of exploration can be divided into active and passive methods.

The power of a witch increases as she grows. This growth is not just about increasing age, but also includes more abstract concepts such as experience and status.

This is also the danger of this kind of seal. Nine out of ten witches who perform this kind of seal do so in order to have children. And having children is definitely a major growth for a woman!

Whether it's experience, mindset, or status, there will be a huge change, and this will be reflected in the witch's power as a significant increase.

Take the eldest sister-in-law, Serlie, for example. Once her seal is broken, she will directly become a high witch!

But this is not a good thing, because she is too weak right now!

Once a high-level witch's magic floods into her body, there are only two possible outcomes: either she explodes or she is mutated by the magic, becoming a monster with only destructive desires!

There is no third possibility!

The Witch Kingdom has been researching for so many years, but they can only reduce the amount of magical power released at once by breaking the seal step by step. However, witches are not good at research. Their scientific research level is mostly limited to developing their own magic, and many witches do not even have the level to develop their own magic.

Therefore, the mortality rate after the seal is broken remains high to this day.

However, if it's a Grand Arcanist who takes action, there shouldn't be much of a problem, right?

At least a personal version should be possible.

Isaac had no idea about the research level of the Archmages, so he wasn't entirely sure.

It doesn't matter, anyway, if the eldest sister can't do it, he can step in. The omnipotent Outer God will take care of everything!

Because the power of witches relies more on mystery than that of legendary wizards, and mystery will yield to a higher mystery!

"Uncle?" The little guy on the left tugged at Isaac's clothes and called out to him.

"Alright, alright, here they come. Hurry up and hide, the evil wizard is coming to catch you!" Isaac raised his hands, a vicious grin spreading across his face.

"Whoa! Run!"

……

For the next few days, Isaac stayed there. His elder sister's mage tower was not built in the castle, and because of his status as a mad witch, Isaac did not have permission from the castle's barrier to travel to and from his territory through the phase space.

Although it wouldn't take him long to run out of the castle and teleport, it was still a bit of a hassle.

On the other hand, Isaac doesn't have any important experiments to do right now. The cultivation of the demonized flesh hasn't even started yet, and the optimization of the dragon transformation elixir requires a meeting at the cult first. With so many big shots in the research group working together, it's definitely more convenient than Isaac's efforts alone.

Most other research projects are similar and can be temporarily suspended.

Besides, Isaac has now advanced to the rank of Grand Wizard, and there are more important things to do than research right now—body modification!

Legend has it that the formal wizarding stage involves acquiring magical talent and strengthening that talent through various rituals to reach a certain standard.

By the time a high wizard reaches the level of a human, the normal magical reserves have reached the limit of the human body. The arcane mage's approach is to inscribe primordial arcane magic into the soul through meditation, first modifying the soul, and then using the soul to modify the body, so that the body can contain more magical power.

However, normal legendary wizards cannot do this because they cannot learn meditation, which is reserved for those with special talents.

Therefore, they need to find another way to further modify their bodies, allowing the physical changes to influence their souls, thereby completing their evolution from a lower to a higher level.

Of course, this statement is somewhat contrary to the natural order, because arcane mages evolved from legendary wizards, meaning that legendary wizards existed before arcane mages.

However, that's the logic. After all, the arcane mage's meditation method was created by countless wizard predecessors who dissected and studied many witches and then refined the witches' bloodlines.

Compared to the bloodline tempering method of the witch, where the soul and body undergo transformation together, the mage's meditation method can clearly demonstrate the difference of the legendary wizard's path more directly.

Therefore, in modern textbooks, wizards are traditionally compared to arcane sorcerers.

Therefore, Isaac's next step requires him to modify his body.

This transformation was not done casually. Legend has it that the power of wizards originated from the "mystery," so at the Grand Wizard stage, the means of advancement are still closely related to the number "3."

For example, after every three body modifications, a ritual is needed to harmonize the body and increase its connection with the world before the modification can continue. This cycle repeats, and after three rituals, the path of the great wizard is considered complete.

But this is only the end of the path to becoming a great wizard. To become a high wizard, one still needs to undergo three more advancement ceremonies to completely integrate all of one's magical abilities and then transform into a high magical creature!

Furthermore, these three promotion ceremonies are not just any random rituals; they are related to whether one can gain additional powers after being promoted to a high-ranking wizard.

For many wild wizards, let alone the final ascension ritual, even the first three rituals are not so easy to obtain.

Wizards have always had a generous yet stingy attitude towards knowledge.

Wizards often choose to share a great deal of knowledge with others. Even if you are not a wizard, as long as you have a thirst for knowledge, you can obtain a great deal of knowledge from wizards. This is how the extraordinary path of knighthood developed.

However, wizards are also extremely stingy, especially towards their own kind!

Knowledge like advancement rituals can be purchased from outside during the formal wizard stage, but once you reach the Grand Wizard level, you must join a wizarding organization to acquire it, and sometimes you even have to join several times!

Because not all wizarding organizations have a complete ascension ceremony.

Therefore, many of the legendary wizards who are idle and reach the level of great wizards only have three, six, or nine body modifications, with three and six being the most common.

Moreover, even if you join a wizarding organization, it will take a lot of effort to obtain these advancement rituals. You can forget about it if you don't work hard for several years!

However, Isaac didn't have this problem. Firstly, he could replace the first three advancement rituals with the Cult of the Evil God's Summoning Ritual after some research. Secondly, he could obtain the final High Wizard advancement ritual from the Cult of Flesh and Blood.

Moreover, since he could handle the first three rituals himself, he had plenty of time to accumulate contribution points, which he could then exchange for the advanced wizard promotion ritual.

His current dilemma is which direction to take...

The transformation of a great wizard's body is not simply replacing parts of a magical creature's body; it cannot be considered evolution.

Of course, if these body parts originated from higher magical creatures, that would be a different story.

Isaac's dilemma lies here. He has two paths before him. One is the blood of dragons, a classic way to modify the body, which leads to becoming a high-ranking dragon shaman, possessing the magic, body, lifespan, and knowledge of dragons!

Although its power originates from dragons, it possesses power that surpasses that of dragons and naturally has the ability to control pure-blooded dragons!

The advantage of this modification approach is that it is comprehensive enough, and the corresponding technology and materials will be provided free of charge by the research group, which will save Isaac a lot of effort.

The second option was Isaac's original idea, which leaned towards the mysterious. He would DIY his own set, which had the advantages of being more free and flexible, with a higher ceiling, but at the same time, a lower floor.

Compared to high-level dragon witches, this path offers far more possibilities!

After all, the path of the Dragon Witch...

Incomplete!

Because dragons are not the strongest creatures in the world; they are comparable to demons, gods, and other forms of transformation.

This is what Isaac is hesitating about: whether to gamble on the ceiling or play it safe and secure a floor...

"Tsk~"

"Splash!"

Isaac crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball and then casually threw it on the ground.

"Still struggling with this?" Cheryl, who had come to call Isaac for dinner, pushed open the door and saw crumpled pieces of paper scattered on the floor. She said with a helpless expression.

Although the path of an arcanist doesn't involve as many choices as that of a legendary wizard, it still does. She hesitated for a long time when choosing her primal arcane arts.

Ultimately, burdened with the expectations of her family, she chose a more prudent approach—to inscribe existing primal arcane arts.

So, as a fellow genius, she actually understood Isaac's feelings; geniuses are all proud.

Unlike her, Isaac did not carry anyone's expectations, so he would not make choices under the influence of external forces.

However, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage!

Because he is very likely to hesitate for too long at this stage, thus missing the best time for renovation!

After all, the Grand Wizard is only at the second stage of the superhuman realm. Although he has many incredible abilities, he is still a mortal in essence and will still be subject to birth, aging, sickness and death. Moreover, this period is particularly short compared to that of demons. If you are not careful, time will pass by quietly.

“Yeah, it’s so hard to choose…” Isaac put his hands on the table, let out a long sigh, and then suddenly stood up. “Big sister, you guys eat, I don’t have an appetite. I’m going to go outside for a walk to clear my head.”

"Okay, go ahead. Don't overthink it. With your talent, no matter which path you take, as long as you survive, you'll become very strong. There's no need to pursue perfection."

“I know,” Isaac nodded.

He understands all the principles. With his cheat system and the help of external gods, he can even arrogantly say that as long as he has some time to mature, he will definitely be the strongest among those of the same level!

In other words, the gap between higher levels is getting bigger and bigger; otherwise, he would still be confident of surpassing him by several levels!
