The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 76

"Yes, Master." Liuli nodded in agreement without asking any further questions.

As long as it's not her staying behind, that's fine!

"Okay, that's settled then." With that, Isaac got up and went straight back to the lab.

After more than a month of reflection, his period of magical instability has completely ended. At the same time, he has also found a suitable ritual for advancement. When he returns from this trip, he will be a great wizard!

At that time, many plans can be officially launched, such as the most important one: the eldest princess's debt repayment plan!

With the wealth of the imperial family, Philo's condition must have recovered somewhat after this period of development; it's time to reap the rewards.

He is Isaac Solomon!

an eye for an eye!

However, before setting off, he needed to organize and optimize the technology of the Dragon Transformation Elixir and then submit it. With this, he figured he should be able to formally participate in the research on bloodline purification.

Isaac had no intention of keeping the Dragon Transformation Elixir technology a secret. Firstly, there was no need for it. Although, after his repeated optimizations, the Dragon Transformation Elixir was much better than the God Transformation Surgery, and other wizards had an initial success rate of about 10% in brewing the Dragon Transformation Elixir, which was quite replicable, it was still not as good as his own 100% success rate.

Secondly, this potion is meant to be sold to the public; how much money can he make from producing it himself?

High-end products are always sold through licensing!

All he has to do is submit this thing, then spread the recipe through the cult, and for the rest of his life, all wizards who produce and sell potions will have to pay upfront!

You can make money while lying down!

Of course, this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that Isaac wants to use this technology to officially get involved in the major project of "Dragon Blood Monster Bloodline Purification Research"!

Compared to this, no amount of gold coins can compare.

This is a research project led by several high-ranking wizards, with countless funds invested each year, and a great deal of technology being put into it.

He gained so much from just heart purification; what would he do if he were to formally access the related technologies?

What kind of gains will he get then?

Any fool knows how to choose!

However, officially joining is not easy. In addition to the technology of the Dragon Transformation Elixir, he also needs to become a Grand Wizard as soon as possible, because theoretically, only Grand Wizards can join the Wizarding Organization.

He had gotten in through connections. Although there were many people like him in the sect who received the same benefits, it was just that the benefits were the same. In reality, these formal wizards could only be considered interns.

Because apart from personal research, all officially public research projects require a high level of expertise, while regular wizards can only assist and submit minor details.

Just like Isaac did before.

Fortunately, Isaac was very good at advancing in rank. Unlike other wizards, there was no issue of failure in his advancement. So he first organized and submitted the relevant materials, and after the sect completed its verification, he successfully advanced and returned.

Compared to the first seven days and seven nights, Isaac was much more efficient during the second remake, reproducing a bottle of Dragon Transformation Elixir in just three days and three nights. He then spent another two days organizing the files and completing the final optimization.

"Phew~ This should be a sure thing now." Looking at the documents in his hand, Isaac's lips curled up slightly. After his optimization, the initial success rate of the potion was now around 20% if there were no mistakes.

Considering the powerful effects of the Dragon Transformation Elixir, this success rate is already astonishing!

"Tsk tsk~ At this rate, could I write a biography of a genius potion master when I reach the Grand Wizard stage?"

This wasn't Isaac being arrogant; he had already researched the relevant potions beforehand, and among all the potions, his Dragon Transformation Elixir was definitely the one with the best overall stats!

Compared to the immense power of a dragon, the cost of his dragon transformation elixir is incredibly low!

And the initial success rate of 20% is incredibly high!

It's important to know that a qualified potion-making wizard will increase their success rate by about 20% when creating a new potion, bringing the total success rate to 40%. Even trash potions like Blood Essence Potions have a similar success rate.

Moreover, the success rate increases with the potion-making wizard's skill level, eventually reaching 100%, although that final goal is still a long way off...

Therefore, he was not worried that the technology of the Dragon Transformation Secret Medicine would not meet the requirements. Instead of worrying about that, he was more worried about whether some idiotic spoiled brat would come out and try to steal his achievements.

But surely no one would be that stupid? After all, he didn't hide his identity as a mad witch, so how stupid would someone have to be to scheme against him?

Shaking his head, Isaac banished these chaotic thoughts, picked up the documents and potions, walked to a corner of the laboratory, initiated the ritual, and headed to the cult dimension to submit the materials.

Upon returning, Smith fell into a deep sleep again. After checking and finding nothing wrong, he conjured a pumpkin carriage and took Liuli and Shushu away from the territory, flying towards the southern part of the empire.

Solomon Territory is located in the western part of the empire, near the Endless Wilderness. Outside of them, there is truly only wilderness, unlike other border nobles. Although there is wilderness beyond the border, it is not endless but just a buffer zone. Beyond the buffer zone are other countries. Therefore, those nobles not only have to guard against the monsters of the wilderness, but also have to guard against other countries.

Although the southern part of the empire is close to the sea, it is also not safe because there is a federation of countless large and small sea tribes in the sea.

Moreover, in terms of danger, the southern part of the empire is undoubtedly the most dangerous and the most dangerous border!

Because in addition to monsters and sea creatures, there are also natural disasters from the sea!

Even more worrying is that it's uncertain whether it's truly a natural disaster, as sea creatures, wizards, and deep-sea monsters all possess the ability to cause such disasters.

Normally, this is not a suitable place for advancement, because the forces here are so complex that even if he died here, the Solomon family wouldn't be able to say anything.

But Isaac still came, because in addition to the advancement ceremony, he also needed to release a white whale clone. That thing was too big to be placed in the sea, so he just did it this time.

Moreover, given his current strength, unless a high-ranking knight or a high-ranking wizard personally intervenes, it's uncertain who will kill whom!

Chapter 118 Did I lose out?

Terra Empire Imperial Capital - The Great Princess's Mage Tower

"He went to Eastport?"

In the laboratory, Philo, who was fiddling with a puppet arm, frowned slightly upon hearing the guard's words and stopped what she was doing.

As a qualified mad witch, Philo was used to getting things for free. Moreover, like Isaac, she also possessed the innate abbot's holy body. Therefore, although she was the one who struck first and was killed in retaliation, she only managed to save her life thanks to her royal status.

She lost, but that doesn't mean she admits defeat!

The main reason was that she knew Isaac would never let her go. Her status as the eldest princess could only protect her once. As long as she didn't kill Isaac, everything would not end!

So she had been keeping a close eye on Isaac's intelligence. Being a mad witch herself, she knew very well that Isaac couldn't possibly stay in the territory forever. Once he came out, she would have a way to deal with him, but…

Port East...

That was the territory of Duke Noi, a border duke in the southern part of the empire. Due to the influence of the sea tribes, the power dynamics there were complex. Even though the empire was at its peak, she dared not extend her reach there. If someone with ulterior motives were to use it and provoke a conflict with Duke Noi, that would be disastrous.

Let's skip this one; that place... is too complicated!

and……

Philo fell silent as he recalled the overwhelming monster tide that night in Phyllis Town. Could anyone below the third rank really win against such monsters?

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at a small booklet in her hand. It contained the instructions that Isaac had casually given her: to use the Emperor's Decree to withstand the backlash of the evil god's deal and then directly seize the evil god's power!

This ensures that every transaction yields the maximum benefit, without wasting a single Imperial Token!

Although Philo now dislikes Isaac, she has to admit that the guy is a true mad witch! A true genius!

To be fair, this method does improve strength quickly. She estimates that if she uses this method, she has a 30% chance of advancing to a high-level wizard within a year!

And he's not one of those high-ranking wizards who only have a high level of authority!

So, what is the price?

The Outer God's concern...

This is different from normal transactions. Once your identity is exposed, you will inevitably be besieged by the Outer Gods!

Does she really have that courage?

Philo looked at the manual beside her and fell into deep thought again. Her father's protection wasn't omnipotent; sooner or later, this method would not be able to protect her...

Of course, the same applies to Isaac's side. This kind of transaction is essentially a race, and it depends on whether you can outrun the Outer God.

If you win, everyone will be happy. All the power will be yours. Those Outer Gods whose power was stolen won't say a word. Forget about revenge, they'll even have to worry about you fighting back!

But if we lose...

That would be a terrible death!

Want to... gamble?

……

'Hmm? The success rate of this ritual is only three percent? Who's so generous?'

In Eastport, Isaac was wandering around the magic market with Ruri. They weren't really looking for bargains; they were just killing time before the ceremony started and showing off their incredibly charming maid!

Although he knew that Liuli was not human, the others did not!

Those envious looks were so satisfying!

Back to topic.

Isaac had only planned to wander around casually, but he actually stumbled upon a bargain: a Cthulhu trading ritual with a success rate as high as three percent!

That's incredibly generous!

Isaac sighed. On his way back from the capital, he had seen many evil god trading rituals, but they were all shady schemes with zero success rate, clearly designed to scam fools.

Surprisingly, I found a genuine product here...

Isaac glanced at the stall owner and memorized the frequency of his magic. Based on his experience, the person selling this stuff was most likely connected to the Church of the Evil God, and might even be a member of it. To him, this was a fat sheep!

But that's a story for later; for now...

Isaac focused his attention on the parchment in his hand, turning it to the back, wondering what god it belonged to.

Erickles, the god of shadows...

Hmm, I don't know... I only know the name so far, and I don't have any other specific information, especially the most important ritual incantation.

This is the rule for selling magical knowledge; after all, you have to let people see the specific content, otherwise what if they buy a fake?

However, the most crucial information must be kept hidden, otherwise it would be no different from giving it away for free to a wizard, since photographic memory is a basic skill for a qualified wizard.

"How to sell it?"

"One thousand gold coins!"

"...Heh~" Isaac scoffed, threw down the book, and got up to leave. He'd seen how excited Isaac had been and was ready to fleece him. A thousand gold coins? You think you're a cheater?!

"Hey, hey, hey~ Sir/Madam Wizard, wait a minute! Why don't you make a offer?"

Upon hearing this, Isaac stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and retorted dismissively, "Fifty silver coins."

After saying that, he turned and left. It was clear that his offer wasn't sincere, but he really didn't intend to take it anymore. He didn't need the ceremony.

"Deal! Fifty silver coins! Here you go!"

Isaac: "..."
