The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 30

"You want to ask me about the Outer Gods?" Isaac said before they could ask, and everyone nodded.

"Tsk~ How should I put it? Just like I said, it's impossible for the Outer Gods to help us fight the Black Orcs. We can't afford the price. But we should be able to find out which Outer Gods are on the other side. That shouldn't be a big problem." Isaac shrugged helplessly.

This was the limit of what he could do.

Gaia nodded; he was aware of that. But after a moment's thought, he asked, "The one you mentioned... the one who controls the dimension of flesh and blood..."

"The Lord of billions of flesh and blood?" Isaac raised an eyebrow.

Gaia nodded. He wasn't a legendary wizard; uttering that name would be sensed.

"Could his slumber be related to the fact that you seized a portion of his physical dimension?"

“I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s that bad. What I took was only a very small part, insignificant compared to the entire flesh and blood dimension.” As soon as Gaia said this, Isaac understood what he was thinking. “So if you want me to put those Outer Gods to sleep by making a deal with them, that’s not very realistic.”

Chapter 43 Holy crap! There's a monster here!

Upon hearing this, Gaia sighed, even though she hadn't held out much hope to begin with.

However, Gaia felt a slight sense of relief upon hearing the answer, because he didn't know if he would have let Isaac do it if Isaac had said yes...

On one side was his most beloved youngest son, and on the other were the people he swore to protect with his life...

Choosing either one is painful!

"Is it dangerous to find out which Outer Gods are on the other side?"

“Emmmm,” Isaac didn’t know what to say.

It's definitely not dangerous. This level of intelligence doesn't require high-quality offerings. Don't overestimate the moral standards of the Outer Gods; those guys are even less reliable than the Holy Lord.

At least outwardly, the Holy Lord will still say that he has always kept his promises.

These Outer Gods, if they are even a second slow in betraying their teammates, it is an insult to their Outer God status!

So finding out the news was easy, but what made Isaac hesitate was whether it would be too much of a waste to hold a ceremony just for the news.

Even though he currently has a bunch of research projects waiting for him and doesn't lack much, he can still manage to snag some resources for the cultivation dimension. As the saying goes, a thief never leaves empty-handed.

But wouldn't this raise suspicions of misappropriating funding?

Hmm, no, there's no suspicion.

However, the pangs of conscience are one thing, but the most important thing is that if he tells the truth, Gaia will definitely not agree, without a doubt.

So after hesitating for a few seconds, just as Gaia was about to regret it, Isaac nodded: "No problem, it's very simple. However, I need to think about the target of the transaction. Different targets have different requirements for rituals and offerings."

“…” Gaia swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. After a moment of silence, he sighed heavily. “Then go and pack up what you need and give it to your older sister. She will give it to you.”

"Understood, then... I'll go back and do the experiment first?" Isaac blinked and said cautiously, looking at his family members who had somewhat somber expressions.

"Go back." Gaia waved her hand and sighed again.

Isaac nodded, turned and walked out of the council hall. He couldn't wait to choose the Outer God of Fortune!

"Sigh~" After Isaac left the council hall, Gaia watched his departing figure and sighed again, saying with a dejected expression, "Was what we did really the right thing?"

Caesar pursed his lips, clenching his fists; he didn't know how to answer this question...

From the family's perspective, it is naturally the right thing to do. To put it bluntly, the family is now at a critical juncture of life and death. At this time, the more information they have, the greater their chances of winning. As a member of the family, Isaac has this obligation, after all, the blood of the Solomon family flows in his veins!

but……

From Isaac's perspective, this is wrong... because Isaac has been physically weak since childhood and has never had a good life. Now that he has just recovered, he has to go on another risky journey... It's unfair to him...

The atmosphere in the council chamber grew even heavier...

……

Of course, this was all wishful thinking on their part, since they didn't know that Isaac was a cheater.

Isaac had already strode out of the castle, returned to the mage tower in a pumpkin carriage, and then plunged into his study to happily search for the lucky one.

Before long, Isaac had identified three targets: the God of Courage, the Dream Fairy, and the God of the Black Orcs.

There might be other more suitable items, but they weren't kept in the eldest sister's study, which is understandable, since Cheryl is a truth wizard and doesn't know much about the outer gods.

However, these three are enough. Among them, the God of Courage is a very misleading name. Judging from the name alone, you might think that he is a good god, but he is not.

The god of courage should actually be called Khorne, also known as the god of blood. He represents uncontrollable belligerence, mindless madness, and the rolling sea of ​​blood that engulfs the battlefield. He has an uncontrollable thirst for blood, and anyone who takes up arms and kills in his name will be favored by him.

It is an extremely dangerous evil god, but also very generous. It is the most common type of bus among the Outer Gods. You can get on the bus by swiping your card. Of course, whether you can get off smoothly depends on your ability. Outer Gods of the bus type are usually extremely powerful.

There are many ways to trade with Him; Isaac alone found three basic rituals in Cheryl's study, and they were all effective!

Of course, the probability is very low.

What's particularly interesting is that, based solely on my knowledge of rituals, the success rate of these three basic rituals is extremely high, reaching as high as 90%!

No wonder it's a notorious bus!

But just like His title of God of Courage, it's all a facade. In reality, the success rate of these three rituals, as shown by the cheat code, is only one percent. If you actually use these three rituals, it's practically a freebie.

Khorne is a good trading partner. Besides being easy to seduce, the most important thing is that he is passionate about war and must know the situation of the Black Orcs very well. He might even be involved in this, and he should gain a lot.

The second Dream Fairy was chosen from the perspective of dimensional development. Based on the limited information he had gathered in recent days, the Dream Fairy's realm possessed a special crystal that could significantly accelerate dimensional growth. Moreover, the Dream Fairy's dream realm was closely connected to the real world, so it was certain that it knew about what was happening on the Black Orcs' side.

The third Black Orc God was added by Isaac after much deliberation.

As is widely known, Outer Gods have no credibility.

Not at all, so even if it's a plan they set themselves, as long as you give them offerings, they will tell you, provided that you survive the ritual.

Therefore, the God of the Black Orcs can also be used as a trading partner, and this has two advantages: first, offerings are easy to obtain, as Black Orcs are readily available; second, the benefits obtained from Him may have a miraculous effect on the Black Orcs!

All three are pretty good, how do I choose?

Isaac looked at the three targets and fell into deep thought.

If it were other magical knowledge, Isaac wouldn't be so conflicted, as an adult he would choose to have it all!

But this involves Outer Gods after all. Even if he has a cheat code, he should still take it easy and do it one step at a time. Otherwise, he might not be able to resist the pleasure of shortcuts and become careless.

Furthermore, these three summoning rituals are all very basic, with a success rate of only one percent. To achieve a success rate of one thousand percent is no easy feat...

The materials alone require a long time to collect.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he ultimately chose the God of the Black Orcs!

Firstly, sacrificial black orcs are easy to find, and can even be bought. Secondly, using the divine power of the black orc god to fight against the black orcs sounds exciting! It inexplicably gives off a sense of immorality!

Chapter 44 Local Specialties of the Wizarding World

After finding the sacrificial ritual of the Black Orc God, Isaac first estimated the materials needed.

The actual base success rate is the same as the other two, which is one percent. However, the Black Orc God's materials are easier to obtain. One Black Orc can increase the success rate by about one percent, and the increase varies depending on the individual's stats.

A tenfold success rate means a thousand Black Orcs...

There are quite a few, but fortunately, ordinary black orcs can also be used as sacrifices, and black orc warriors are even more effective, so around five or six hundred is enough to fill the gap.

Well, five or six hundred black orcs is still a bit too many, after all, they need to be alive.

But that has nothing to do with Isaac; that's something his older brothers need to consider.

However, this is still the simplest of the three. Khorne's cushion is Battle Blood. Only the blood of warriors who died in the midst of a frenzied battle can increase the success rate. One warrior can provide ten portions of Battle Blood, and at least three hundred portions are needed to accumulate to one thousand!

That's hard to find, but the hardest one is the Dream Fairy, whose cushion is the fused bodily fluids of a virgin after intercourse...

We need a full thousand servings!

This is somewhat perverse...

And they're hard to gather.

However, the latter two can be done gradually, without rushing.

After handing over a list of the necessary materials to his older sister, Isaac once again immersed himself in his research. His research on flesh-and-blood conversion had made great progress after Harmon's enhancement was completed.

The new optimization is expected to be completed soon, at which time his fighting style will be more diverse. Everything is progressing steadily and positively.

Meanwhile, Caesar and his group, having received the list, fell into deep thought, especially regarding the hundreds of black orcs…

"Why do we need so many orcs to offer sacrifices to Him? Isn't He the god of the orcs?" In the lord's manor, Gaia, Caesar, and Cheryl were looking at the list Isaac had made on the table with puzzled expressions. Caesar asked Cheryl in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Gaia also looked at Cheryl. Although he was of a higher rank than his daughter and was the only high-ranking knight in the territory, he still couldn't compare to Cheryl in terms of knowledge.

However, even Cheryl, after looking at the list for a long time, couldn't understand why the black orc sacrifice was needed...

There were quite a few sacrifices made to the Black Orc God, including spellcasters and ordinary people, but the majority were Black Orcs from the wilderness. However, regardless of the type of people, there was no record of using Black Orcs as living sacrifices...

But she trusted Isaac's expertise as a legendary wizard, and since Isaac had said so, she would do it.

“I don’t know either, but trust my third brother… a few hundred black orcs… the number is so vague, let’s prepare for a thousand black orcs, according to the standard for warriors!” Cheryl looked at the list and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Gaia and Caesar.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you. Gather them as soon as possible!" Gaia looked at Caesar and patted him on the shoulder.

“I’ll lead the team myself!” Caesar nodded and decisively turned to leave.

There are quite a few, and they need to be processed as soon as possible; they don't have much time left.

After Caesar left, Gaia said to Cheryl, "Besides us capturing them ourselves, you should also ask Remy if he has any."

“Okay.” Cheryl nodded and vanished from the room in a beam of arcane light.

“Isaac…”

In the room, Gaia took out a painting from a drawer, looking at the beautiful woman in it with a complicated expression... This was Isaac's mother, who unfortunately passed away while giving birth to Isaac. Her last words before her death were that she hoped Isaac could live a peaceful and safe life...

So when he learned that Isaac didn't have arcane talent, he was disappointed but also a little happy, because although Isaac's body couldn't be cured, at least he could live a peaceful life under his protection.

As a result, no one expected that Isaac's talent was so outstanding that he became a legendary wizard simply by collecting some random things on his own...

And they went all out...

"Sigh~"

As her thoughts wandered, Gaia's anxieties eventually coalesced into a sigh of melancholy. She put away her painting, quickly composed herself, and returned to her work.

Although the Black Orcs have only just begun to assemble and are still quite a distance from the fortress, this does not mean that they can only wait idly during this time. While preparing war supplies, they must also send out cavalry units to constantly harass the Black Orc army.

While disrupting their march, they could also gather intelligence.

Intelligence is something that you can never have too much of.
