The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Next, he changed into each set of clothes and then came out to show Isaac.

Actually, Liuli didn't know what the point of doing this was, but every time she changed her clothes and came out, she could see the surprised expression on Isaac's face, and then she enjoyed it.

For Liuli, when doing something, she doesn't consider whether it has meaning, but rather whether it helps Isaac and whether Isaac likes it.

Soon, they tried on all the clothes that had been picked out. Isaac was very satisfied, so without much hesitation, he bought them all. After letting Liuli choose any outfit to change into, the two left the shop and began to stroll around Nebula City.

Chapter 211 Isaac: You're the mad witch, aren't you?

Three days passed in this way. During these three days, Isaac and Liuli explored most of Nebula City and bought a lot of small things. Some of them were somewhat useful, but most of them were just small things that they bought because they were novel.

It doesn't cost much, and it's worth it to spend money to have some fun.

Of course, that was the end of his stroll. It wasn't that he'd had enough of the sightseeing, but rather that news had come from the Truth Association that they had made contact with the person and that he was at the association today. So Isaac needed to get there as soon as possible, since it would be impolite to keep people waiting.

Soon, Isaac arrived at the magnificent Truth Association again. Led by the round-faced little wizard, Isaac and Liuli went to a conference room where a young man in a silver wizard's robe was sitting, looking somewhat worried.

However, the moment he saw Isaac, the young man, Shival Itlas, lost his worry and asked with a smile, "Isaac Solomon?"

After bringing Isaac to her, the round-faced wizard lady bowed respectfully and then turned and left.

Isaac entered the room, and after Liuli closed the door behind him, Isaac sat down and asked with a smile, "You know me?"

“It’s hard not to know.” Shival shrugged helplessly, saying with a touch of emotion, “Isaac Solomon, the infamous usurper of gods, who, as a mere second-tier cultivator, defeated a third-tier high knight, and advanced to high rank as a wizard in less than three years—your name is now legendary.”

Isaac raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He... had he become so famous now?

And the usurper of the gods...

This title is quite grand. Isaac has only made more deals with the Outer Gods and picked up some unwanted items along the way. What makes him worthy of such a title?

However, Isaac did not object, because he knew it would be useless. The title was given by others, and since the title had spread, it meant that in the eyes of the world, this was the image of Isaac.

So no matter how much you talk, it's not as good as doing more things to change your image in the eyes of others.

"So, are you interested in my research?" Isaac asked curiously, handing his research findings to Shiva.

“I’ve heard some of those, some very bold ideas.” Shival smiled slightly and confidently took the documents from Isaac’s hand. As a high-ranking wizard who studied the divine magic system, Shival did not fear the true gods as others did.

Only after in-depth research will you discover that these so-called gods are not so scary. As long as your procedures are proper, no god will be angry because you are studying His power.

Even if the process isn't entirely legitimate, He won't object to your research into His power; it's just that the churches under His command will be very angry.

Therefore, Shival scoffed at the idea of ​​some friends telling him to stay away from Isaac. Only a wizard who didn't understand the study of the gods would be so averse to Isaac's research.

After all, although Isaac was a mad witch, his research proposal was still approved by the committee. How could it still be the mad witch's stuff?

But... after Shival finished reading the documents Isaac handed him... he fell silent...

Was this research project... really approved by the committee?

The confidence on Shiva's face vanished, replaced by a faint fear!

Only a wizard like him, who studies the pantheon, could understand just how incredible Isaac's research was!

Compared to this old man, those of us who study divine power attributes and divine magic systems are nothing!

This old man was actually after the power of the gods!

Damn it, the gods will only allow these wizards to visit their homes, not for you to secretly change the name on their property deeds to yours!

However, seeing Sylvanas's sudden change in expression, Isaac was not disappointed, but rather delighted, because he saw a hint of barely perceptible madness in Sylvanas's eyes!

Legend has it that wizards are never peaceful beings.

Because their initial power was plundered from beings outside the realm, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After trying the shortcut, few people can tolerate the feeling of their power slowly increasing, or even not increasing at all for a long time.

This is why mad witches continue to emerge to this day.

Desire is the greatest flaw in human nature!

Shival was also a legendary wizard. Although he was a relatively normal legendary wizard, he still had that madness flowing in his veins.

Moreover, he was a wizard who dared to study the power of the gods!

Although the methods were somewhat legitimate, a normal legendary wizard would not study the power of gods, because the power of a legendary wizard comes from such beings.

Therefore, normal legendary wizards will maintain a certain degree of fear of gods, even righteous gods!

This faint sense of fear usually lasts until the legendary wizard has enough power to contend with the true gods.

Therefore, Shival must have extraordinary ambitions, but he had suppressed them in the past. Now, the opportunity to unleash these ambitions has come—Isaac's research project!

This research project received support from the Flesh and Blood Cult, which meant that as long as they achieved significant results, they could suppress not only the wrath of one god, but also the wrath of an entire pantheon or even all the righteous gods!

Of course, this requires them to achieve sufficient results.

This was originally the biggest challenge, but now, this biggest challenge has been guaranteed to a certain extent—the usurper, Isaac Solomon!

The entire research project was proposed and designed by him. As a mad witch who frequently deals with Outer Gods, no one understands the gods better than him. Moreover, he possesses very advanced technology for creating artificial gods, making it highly likely that he will achieve great results!

That's only one aspect. On the other hand, the entire project was built by Isaac, so if something goes wrong in the future, the worst off will be Isaac, the mad witch. They will at most be considered accomplices, and although the punishment will be severe, their lives will not be in danger.

Therefore, although a trace of fear remained on Shiva's face, it was only a trace; the rest had transformed into the most extreme madness!

"I can join, but I have two conditions!"

Isaac raised an eyebrow and nodded happily: "Don't just say two, I'll do two hundred if I can!"

"Don't need two hundred. My first condition is that there's a demiplane in the Isman Valley outside Nebula City, where there are three powerful high-level monsters. Kill them and bring their corpses and the Moon Goddess Flower from their lair." Shival's emotions gradually calmed down, and his expression was under control. Both fear and madness had almost disappeared.

“No problem.” Isaac nodded, then asked, “What’s the second condition?”

"My second condition is that I would like to add a research project to the program—creating Lunar Familiars!!!"

"!!!"

Isaac's pupils constricted!

Chapter 212 Sylvanas's Trial

"My second condition is that I would like to add a research project to the program—creating Lunar Familiars!!!"

"!!!"

Upon hearing Sival's second condition, Isaac's pupils constricted slightly. He stared at Sival in shock. According to the intelligence, wasn't this guy researching the transformation of magic into divine magic and the transformation of divine magic into spells? How did he end up researching this kind of thing?

It is important to know that the Moon's Kin are products of the authority of the Moon Goddess, Sia. To create the Moon's Kin is to steal that authority from the Moon Goddess, Sia!

This is the behavior of a mad witch!

wrong!

This is even crazier than a mad witch!

Because mad witches don't harm true gods!

Even more outrageous than Isaac's plan, although he also wanted to steal the authority of the God of Credit, he did not intend to completely possess it, nor could he possess it. His authority was very useful to all high wizards, so when the time came, he could simply pass it around, like the Book of Privileges of the Truth Society, making it a tool that all wizards could learn, and then the God of Credit would have nothing to say.

However, the power to create Moon Families is different. While it does provide some benefit to a wizard's strength, it is not significant. Not all wizards are enthusiastic about this power, so its risks are definitely higher than Isaac's plan.

After a brief moment of shock, Isaac smiled. He did not refuse the condition, but nodded and said, "No problem, but this has to be put after my research project, and I will only take action if I have a feasible plan. After all, you are more aware of the risks involved than I am."

Upon hearing this, Shival looked at Isaac in surprise. He now had a more comprehensive understanding of the Mad Witches. These guys were indeed a bunch of madmen, and madmen who had no reverence for gods or powerful beings.

But what he needs most right now is this kind of madman!

“Well… I’ll wait for your good news.” With that, Shival handed me a piece of parchment. “If you succeed, use this to contact me.”

A look of surprise flashed in Isaac's eyes. Was this... a lack of faith in his strength?

After all, they belonged to the Cult of Flesh and Blood, and could have communicated directly through the cult's spellbooks without going through such trouble. The parchment used for communication was usually only for temporary purposes.

Therefore, what Isaac could think of was that while Shiva acknowledged his courage, he didn't recognize his strength. After all, he was just a newly promoted high-level wizard, although he had once had the terrifying feat of defeating a third-tier high-level knight while only being a newly promoted second-tier wizard...

Many wizards have a sense of superiority over knights; to them, a high-ranking knight is hardly a third-tier knight.

Therefore, it's normal for Silva to test Isaac's strength.

So Isaac didn't say much, he just took the parchment, got up, dusted off his wizard robes, and walked out.

"Wait for my good news."

After saying that, Isaac took Ruri away from the Truth Association's headquarters without making any promises.

Although he was confident in his own strength, he knew nothing about the monster, so it was better to be cautious.

Therefore, after leaving the headquarters of the Truth Association, Isaac first went to the largest adventurer's tavern in Nebula City, intending to gather information about the Eastman Valley.

Unfortunately, the drawbacks of advancing too quickly became apparent at this point. Because his strength improved so rapidly, Isaac's understanding of some things had not yet caught up.

For example, the adventurer's tavern, which he considered a convenient place to gather information, actually mostly sold information about first-tier monsters and superhumans, with very little information about second-tier monsters, and as for higher-tier monsters...

That's practically nonexistent.

Because the adventurers in this world are different from the adventurer guilds that Isaac knew. Being an adventurer is actually a very unpromising profession. Although in the stories of this world, whenever the world is in chaos, it is the adventurers who save the world, and nobles often become adventurers to go out and gain experience.

But in reality, the difference between reality and fantasy is huge!

Adventurers in fantasy live a life of luxury, constantly exploring labyrinths and battling evil gods, leading incredibly exciting lives.

But in reality, adventurers often struggle to make ends meet, resorting to petty theft or other unethical practices. Those who can consistently hunt wild monsters are already considered high-level adventurers.

Moreover, there are two major differences from the story. One is the environment. In the story, adventurers can easily make a lot of money by going out to kill some monsters and explore some dungeons after arriving in any town. But in reality, there are basically no monsters outside the town for the sake of stable development. Apart from goblins, those things are too difficult to kill. As for dungeons, once they appear, the local lord will take care of them himself.

It's not up to adventurers to get a share of the pie.

Places like the town of Phyllis are specifically designed for adventurers. There are no ordinary civilians there; they are either merchants or adventurers. After all, adventurers are a group of extraordinary individuals, and even if they are not the strongest, their combat power is still stronger than that of ordinary people. These people definitely need to be given something to do, which can also generate more tax revenue.

The second problem is also the biggest and most serious problem!

strength!

This world is ultimately a world where the strong rule, and even the strongest adventurer is only at the second tier...

Firstly, most adventurers' extraordinary professions are quite weak, with a maximum level of only tier two. Secondly, even if a few are legitimate extraordinary professions like knights and wizards, they are either nobles who have come down to train and will return after a while, or they have joined some large organizations in order to advance further.

After all, although the advancement of extraordinary beings in this world does not require certain pills like in the mortal cultivation novels of my previous life, there are similar things, and the control is even more strict!

Even if a lucky few obtain the few advancement methods scattered outside or from the ruins, after advancing to the third rank, they will find a powerful force to join. If they had a choice, who the hell would want to be an adventurer?

But Isaac didn't know any of this before, because he had risen through the ranks too quickly, and Rona, who was a proper adventurer by his side, had spent most of her time doing worse than an adventurer...

Therefore, Isaac's impression of adventurers remains unchanged.
