The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 180

"This... there's such a spell?" Isaac frowned, looking at the smiling Innis, completely puzzled.

It's all because the spells recorded in this pink magic book... aren't exactly respectable...

Unlike the first spellbook, this pink spellbook isn't a research record of any particular spell, but rather a collection of spells—and, simply put, most of these spells are magical versions of aphrodisiacs…

Of course, Isaac wasn't surprised by the existence of such magic; after all, the need was there, and it was impossible for it not to exist. He himself knew some of it, since raising monsters also required it. But...

This was the first time he had ever met someone of such high status!

"Hahaha~~~" Seeing the surprise on Isaac's face, Innis laughed heartily. Sure enough, just as he thought, Isaac was a very traditional wizard, with only magical research in his mind, at least for now.

"Why can't there be? Is there a hierarchy of knowledge, high or low?" Innis retorted.

Upon hearing this, Isaac paused for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully. He realized it too; indeed, there was nothing strange about such things existing. After all, it wasn't like there were no gods without emotions and desires, so it was normal for them to have such magical versions. However…

"Will this... work for me?" Isaac asked doubtfully.

After reading a bit of "The Record of the Creation of Dimensional Life," Isaac, though unsure of Innis's motives for giving him these things, was at least certain that Innis believed they would be useful to him.

And the "Record of the Creation of Dimensional Life" also proves this point.

What about this one?

"And you've even written two fairy tales about love." Innis shook her head helplessly at Isaac's puzzled expression, saying with a hint of exasperation, "Don't you know that love is a deeper bond than friendship?"

Isaac paused, then looked at the pink spellbook in his hand with a strange expression, and said hesitantly, "Can love really be created with these things?"

The thing that comes out of this most often is probably the one with the surname "Anger"...

"I didn't tell you to use it all. Just keep working towards this goal. Don't you have the power of 'True Love'? You can try to use it. But remember, wizards are always rational. Knowledge and emotions are just chips in our hands. Gamblers cannot be controlled by chips."

Isaac's expression hardened, and he nodded solemnly: "Yes, I've got it!"

After saying that, he put away the pink magic book. Indeed, this was a good approach. As long as it wasn't a yandere relationship, love was definitely a deeper and more reliable bond than friendship!

Worth a try!

Besides, it doesn't necessarily have to be him and that god who fall in love. This is an experiment for two people. There's also Ifans, isn't there?

In any case, Isaac didn't care much about the experimental results; he only cared about the experimental process.

After putting away the spellbook, a portal appeared behind him. From the aura on the other side of the portal, Isaac could tell that it was a passage to the cult's dimension. However, he did not leave in a hurry, but looked at the kind-faced Inis and hesitated to speak.

After this brief exchange, Isaac was basically certain that Innis didn't have any bad intentions, or at least he hadn't noticed it.

But... are there really people in this world who are selfless and dedicated?

Isaac believed that such a person certainly existed, but judging others by his own standards, he didn't believe that such a person would appear before him, nor did he think that such a person could become such a powerful wizard!

"Hehe~ You're wondering why I'm so good to you, aren't you?"

Isaac nodded cautiously.

"I told you, there's no need to be so nervous. This isn't some secret that can't be told. Many people know this, and I've helped many wizards, both inside and outside the cult. The only difference is the degree of help. As for why I helped you, it's very simple. You should know who I am, the great wizard, right?"

Isaac nodded thoughtfully. If that was the case, he seemed to understand Inis's actions a little better.

Like demigods, the title of Great Wizard is not a realm, but a title. However, the conditions for obtaining it are different. A demigod needs to have combat power comparable to that of a god to obtain it, while a Great Wizard needs to make a great contribution to the real world to obtain it.

Such contributions can be creating rules, modifying rules, or even simpler contributions.

For example, cultivating talent!

“It seems you’ve figured it out.” Looking at Isaac, who seemed to be deep in thought, Innis nodded with satisfaction. “That’s right, just as you thought. Nurturing more wizarding geniuses is one of my experiments in my quest for the title of Great Wizard. So you don’t need to feel any pressure. Just grow up well, and that will be the greatest reward for me.”

“I understand, but can this really make me a great wizard?” Isaac was puzzled. Compared to the works of the two he knew, this seemed to be much worse.

“I may not be able to succeed, but this path is achievable. The creator of the Truth Wizard, also known as the Arcane Wizard, became a great wizard through this path and then stepped into the realm of mystery.” As he spoke, a hint of longing appeared in Inis’s eyes.

"..." Isaac's expression was somewhat complicated, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Isaac bowed deeply to Inis, then turned and walked into the portal, leaving the Court of Flesh and Blood.

This trip was absolutely worthwhile. Neither those two magic books nor the knowledge of the path to becoming a great wizard are things that Isaac could not acquire at his current level.

Chapter 242 Madness!

"What a pity." After Isaac left, piles of flesh and bones appeared on the ground, coalescing into the figure of a burly man behind Inis. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction Isaac had left with some regret.

"It's alright, not a big pity. This was just an experiment. Even if this path really works, I won't take it. You know I disdain following other people's paths." Innis glanced at the man beside her and said cheerfully.

"Indeed." The God of Blood and Bone shook his head and sighed, then his body turned into flesh and bones, and merged back into the courtyard.

Even so, He still felt it was a pity. It was a pity that the path of cultivating strong individuals had already been traversed by great wizards. Otherwise, based solely on the talent that Isaac had shown so far, there was a real possibility that he could become a great wizard.

But it's not a loss now, after all, Isaac is a member of the Flesh and Blood Cult, one of their own.

……

Meanwhile, when Isaac returned to the tower within the sect's dimension, before the great sphere of light of the tower spirit, the contribution for the ritual of the birth of the god had already been made.

First, there is one contribution for level 5, two contributions for level 4, and five contributions for level 3.

The so-called "contribution" is another currency within the sect besides magic stones. The difference is that this currency can only be used to exchange for knowledge. A level 3 contribution can be exchanged for a copy of the core research knowledge of a third-tier high wizard.

This kind of research knowledge may be a single spell, a series of spells, or even just experimental data or magical theories.

However it may take any form, this knowledge is absolutely worthy of the ranking assigned to it by the sect.

So when Isaac saw the result, his eyebrows involuntarily rose higher. He looked at the certificate given by the tower spirit, then at the magic book of the Birth of the Gods recorded in his hand, and was somewhat bewildered.

So this is what it is...

So awesome?

They can even exchange for the core research knowledge of a fifth-tier legendary wizard...

Isaac blinked. Until just now, he was actually quite confident in the thing he had researched using his cheat system. However, he thought he could at most exchange it for a few more level four contributions, because he didn't know much about the power of wizards above level four, so he didn't dare to make any rash judgments.

Of course, after a moment of stunned silence, Isaac's excitement gradually subsided, and he even felt a little slumped...

On the other hand, this is not exactly good news, because in his view, the Ritual of the Birth of the Gods is still a rough version, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the result. At least Isaac needs to improve it.

But if even this crude version can receive such high praise from the sect, then what about other god-making rituals...?

With that in mind, Isaac looked at one of the privileges granted by his contribution—free access to all god-making rituals.

"Hiss~" Upon seeing this thing, Isaac leaned back slightly and gasped. Another over-allocation?

Generally speaking, when donating one's research knowledge to a sect, the sect will give the donor two benefits. One is a contribution of varying quantity and level, and the other is a copy of the core research results of other wizards in the same field.

In other words, after Isaac donated the birth ceremony to the cult, in addition to his contribution, he could also choose any experimental record of the god-making experiment in the cult's collection to view.

But now, one piece has become everything...

Given how long this large sect has existed, he must have been more than one person who considered creating a god. So this might actually be a gift from the big boss Innis—how generous!

After a moment of reflection, Isaac put his things away and bowed towards the direction of the dimensional center. He wasn't really sure if Inis was there, but the true form of the God of Blood and Bone was most likely there, so it didn't matter.

After leaving the tower, Isaac didn't rush to exchange for [contribution] or check on other god-making experiments. Instead, he returned directly to the real world and went back to his mage tower.

While there are still many areas for improvement in the Ritual of the Birth of the Gods, if Isaac continues with his current abilities, the experiment will progress very slowly. Therefore, he will shift his focus to other areas, those that yield faster returns—such as the plan to steal the power of the God of Faith.

This thing greatly enhances his combat power; in this era of impending chaos, it is extremely important.

Furthermore, the study of the Ritual of the Birth of the Gods is too important; once it begins, he must devote himself entirely to it, and the current situation clearly does not allow him to do so.

Now, as time goes by and the cooling-off period passes, all countries and forces are fighting tooth and nail in the Endless Sea, reaching a fever pitch.

Several fourth-tier miracle wizards even died a couple of days ago!

Currently, the war is still confined to the Endless Sea. After all, the real world is the base that everyone has been building for years, and it would be too painful to fight it, so they are relatively restrained.

But as time goes by, this restraint will gradually dissipate, and war will be inevitable!

Isaac now has quite a few people under his command. Although he can't be considered a large and powerful family, he still has to put in some effort. Besides, even if he hadn't created or simply ignored this wizarding organization, Isaac is still a member of House Solomon and the Cult of Flesh and Blood.

He cannot escape this impending turmoil.

So it's better to prepare early.

In addition, there are two other urgent matters that he needs to handle personally—moving and choosing a name!

Isaac originally planned to move everything at once after the floating city was completed, but plans can't keep up with changes. The appearance of the Endless Sea, while accelerating his plan to build the floating city to some extent, also disrupted his original plans, such as the waterspout that fell from the sky.

Although the waterspout appeared in Isaac's territory, its ownership belonged to his elder brother Caesar, and only they had enough manpower and resources to operate the waterspout.

As people from Solomon’s territory moved in on a large scale, Isaac’s people would inevitably come into contact with them. And with more contact, no matter how much restraint they tried, conflicts would inevitably arise.

Although they were all minor conflicts, they made Isaac realize that he had to move.

This is a wizarding organization. For both the leader and the members, the most important thing is learning and research. Making money is just to enable them to learn and research better.

He can still distinguish between primary and secondary matters.

Whether for studying or conducting research, a relatively quiet environment is required.

Fortunately, the Silver Knight's territory was developing quite well, so it was a place to settle down. Apart from the inconvenience of movement, everything else was fine.

However, this aspect can be addressed by building portals. If the dimensional world is further enhanced in the future, it will allow others to bypass the dimensional world, just like members of the cult.

Overall, the problem isn't too serious.

However, Isaac didn't need to be involved in the move beforehand. Only when it was time to leave, as the owner of the mage tower, did he need to shut down the mage tower's magic pool and a series of defense systems before he could move it.

What he needs to do most now is to give the growing wizarding organization a name...

The time has come. Having a name will ultimately strengthen one's sense of belonging.

“Claws, curses, madness…” Looking at the names listed in front of him, Isaac’s head was spinning.

Naming a wizarding organization is no simple matter. In this world, names possess power, especially those related to the extraordinary. As an organization of legendary wizards, its name is naturally no exception.

Therefore, the name of a formal wizarding organization cannot be chosen arbitrarily. First, the soon-to-be-established wizarding organization must establish cooperative relationships with more than three formal wizarding organizations. Second, the number and quality of its members must meet certain standards. Then, whether it is a legendary wizarding organization or an arcane wizarding organization, it must have the ability to cultivate new wizarding blood.

Due to the unique nature of their abilities, arcane sorcerers must possess the ability to train ordinary people into wizards, while legendary wizards only need to be able to train formal wizards into great wizards.

After all, even if there were ways to imprison high-ranking demons and use them as a shortcut to power, demons are not so easy to capture. So, as a second-best option, they became the training of great wizards.

Of course, this is no less difficult than training an ordinary person.

Only after these conditions are met is your wizarding organization qualified to choose a name. However, the name is not decided by you, but by the Truth Association, which will work with members of at least three ancient wizarding organizations to examine the members of the wizarding organization.

Based on the magical specializations of the leader and members of the wizarding organization, several alternative names will be provided. You will then choose one from these names, and only then will you be considered a formal member of the wizarding organization.

Of course, not all wizarding organizations follow this process. For example, the Mad Wizards have not yet been recognized by the Truth Society and other major ancient wizarding organizations.
