The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 126

Among all spellcasters, arcane mages are arguably the most learned, because they begin their studies at the age of eleven or twelve by entering the mage tower as servants... no, they begin learning.

Moreover, their knowledge is not only extensive but also highly systematic. In terms of erudition alone, many second-tier wizards among the legendary wizards may not be able to match them.

Therefore, it is quite remarkable that Rona was able to achieve such great success in such a short period of time, which shows that she has put in a lot of hard work.

Although it was not voluntary.

But that doesn't matter.

Compared to Rona's progress in magic power level and spells, this aspect made Isaac even happier. For witches, magic power level and spells are things they can acquire sooner or later; they can reach the second tier just by eating and drinking all day.

But knowledge is different; it not only determines her future potential but also greatly enhances her vision.

The most obvious difference is that now Isaac will have to put in a lot more effort to lock Lorna in a dark room to study.

Of course, not everyone makes progress, or rather, Isaac can't detect everyone's progress.

Like Angela, Isaac could only tell from her aura that she had made considerable progress recently, but he couldn't tell exactly what she had gained...

He didn't know that. He rarely communicated with Angel. Most of their meetings consisted of nodding or simple handover of work, and that was it.

Stepping out of his study, Isaac went to the training ground and looked at the sky. He squinted, and a phantom appeared beside him—it was Philo, who had been fighting alongside Remington.

"I'm all ready on my end and can start anytime. What about you?"

“I’m all set, why are you suddenly bringing this up? What happened?” Isaac turned to look at Philo with curiosity.

Thought Entities are a form of communication over medium to long distances. It is said that powerful wizards can even use Thought Entities to cast spells, much like creating clones, which is quite terrifying.

However, Isaac and Philo are not yet at that level. For them, the thought entity is just a phantom used for observation and communication. Moreover, its range is not only limited by distance, but also requires the prior setting of a magic circle, which can be described as very cumbersome.

Of course, once the setup is complete, the benefits will be quite substantial.

"I couldn't find the specifics, but it seems like other people have teamed up, which is a bit unusual."

"Others?" Isaac raised an eyebrow. "Including the Kingdom's army and the rebels?"

“Yes, including them.” Philo nodded solemnly.

"It seems our plan has been discovered to some extent, but it doesn't matter. As long as the high wizards don't interfere, the outcome of this battle is already a foregone conclusion," Isaac said with a light smile.

Philo's pupils contracted slightly as she keenly noticed Isaac's choice of words—as long as the high wizards didn't interfere.

So even a high-ranking knight can win?

This guy……

So confident?

Philo gave Isaac a deep look. She knew that Isaac had been researching privilege magic during this time, but even if it was privilege magic, there was no reason why it could be this powerful.

That's a high-ranking knight!

However, Philo didn't say anything, she just nodded. She had known Isaac for quite some time and had already witnessed how outrageous this guy was. So, let alone a high knight, even if Isaac said he could kill a high wizard, she would...believe it!

Although I might have a tiny bit of doubt, I'll definitely believe it in the end.

After all, this guy is just outrageous!

"Then I'll get started."

"Yes, I will have Smith cooperate with your operation. Let's take over the entire Kingdom of Itra within a month."

Philo nodded, and then his figure vanished.

"Alright, come out. You heard what I just said, so tell me why those people united." Isaac glanced at the corner behind him.

"Hehe, I didn't mean to." From behind the corner, Rona peeked out, scratched her head with an embarrassed smile, and walked over to Isaac.

After a moment of contemplation, she said, "Two points. One is that we are too strong. To put it bluntly, this war is just a game of dividing the cake, and..." Rona looked up at the sky, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. When she learned this knowledge herself, she realized how incredible Isaac's actions were!

"Moreover, as the strongest force, we not only get a share of most of the treasure vault, but we also completely take over the most important blood sacrifice ritual here. If they still have any desire for the treasure vault, they will never stop like this."

After a pause, Rona continued, "Secondly, it should be the Etra royal family that united them! Our intentions are actually impossible to hide. In the past six months, Philo and his people have gained almost de facto control over the occupied territories. If they still can't react by this point, then this country would have been gone long ago."

"Hmm, not bad, it seems that reading more books is indeed very useful." Isaac patted Rona's head with satisfaction, but she dodged away with a look of impatience. Moreover, upon hearing the word "reading," her face turned pale, and she assumed a posture ready to run away at any moment.

Clearly, the special magic that granted Rona the privilege of studying time during this period has caused her considerable psychological trauma.

"Alright, you can take a break from reading for now. You've developed for so long, it's time to get moving." Isaac looked into the distance and smiled slightly.

As for the Etra royal family's underhanded tactics, both he and Philo could find out if they wanted to, and they could also thwart their operations, at least preventing them from succeeding so smoothly.

It's all about forming alliances and counter-alliances. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've still seen pigs run, right?

Besides, if Isaac doesn't work, there's always Philo, right?

She just can't bring in a large number of people, but she can still bring in a few strategists sporadically.

However, neither of them paid much attention to what was going on, because there was no need. In the face of strength, all schemes and tricks were futile!

In the current Kingdom of Itra, Isaac can be considered invincible!

Even if we include the Etra royal family, this is still the case!

Because they lacked high-level wizards, and that fourth-tier ancestor was unlikely to harm them. In fact, Isaac and his group were more than happy for him to do so, as it would give the empire's powerful figures a reason to eliminate him.

Fourth-tier, Miracle Knight. To most small and medium-sized forces, that's no different from being a god. But to the Empire, that's just so-so. Isaac's father isn't far from that level, while their family has only just been promoted to earl.

Although he was a rather special count, this also demonstrates the power of the empire.

"I'll give you a task."

"Who do you want to kill! Tell me!" Rona said excitedly when she heard that she didn't have to look at the book.

“Hehe~” Isaac chuckled, shook his head, and said with a smile, “You don’t need to kill anyone. Your task is to protect Roton Fortress with the Silver Knight.”

"Huh? Me?" Rona pointed at herself, looking completely bewildered.

“Don’t underestimate yourself. You can now summon a third-tier dragon. If it really comes down to it, even I wouldn’t be a match for you. So, have some confidence.” With that, Isaac patted Rona on the shoulder.

“But…” Although Isaac’s trust gave her more confidence, she still looked conflicted. “But, can I really do it? Miss Clara’s summoning time is too short, only three minutes. Can I hold out?”

Miss Clara is a dragon who has signed a summoning contract with Rona, and she is a pure-blooded dragon!

“Three minutes…” Isaac couldn’t help but chuckle. “That’s a pureblooded dragon. Even if it’s just a young dragon, it’s not something an ordinary person can handle. In this battlefield, three minutes is a long time. So be confident, you’re very strong!”

Isaac patted Rona on the shoulder again and said.

Lorna has been making rapid progress lately, and her strength has improved quickly, which has led to a problem: although she has enough power, she lacks confidence.

Chapter 183 Powerful Privileged Magic!

Lorna stared intently at Isaac, then nodded heavily. Although she was still a little worried, since Isaac had said so, she was sure she could handle it!

She believed Isaac wouldn't harm her!

Well, besides locking her in a dark room to study!

"There's no need to feel too much pressure. The ritual is different now than before." Isaac turned around, looking in the direction of the ritual with a mysterious smile. If someone tries to destroy this place, then...

The Lord of Flesh and Blood will show them what it means to protect one's food!

"What do you mean..." Rona was a little confused. Wasn't this their weakness?

"You'll find out later. Anyway, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you really feel like you can't hold on anymore, then run. Compared to a ritual, your life is the most important thing."

“…Hmm.” Rona nodded slightly, though it was unclear whether she had taken it all in.

However, this doesn't matter to Isaac, because as he said before, Rona, who can summon a third-tier dragon, is invincible at this stage!

"Alright, that's it, I'm off." With that, Isaac's body slowly lifted off the ground and flew into the air.

"Huh? So fast?" Rona was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. This game has dragged on for a while, and..." Isaac looked at his hands, a hopeful smile appearing on his face, "After studying the privilege magic for so long, I also want to know just how powerful it is! I'm leaving the fortress to you and the Silver Knight. Angel has already left the fortress. Like I said, your safety is the most important thing!"

"Yes!" Rona nodded heavily, then waved to Isaac. For some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Isaac, who had already turned and was flying rapidly into the distance, could not see this scene...

The tears welling up in her eyes startled Rona for a moment, then she smiled. It turned out that, without realizing it, she no longer wanted to leave his side…

'Mother of Dragons, please bless Lord Isaac so that he may return safely!'

……

The wind whistled past his ears. Isaac focused his mind slightly, and his mental energy instantly connected with the barrier that enveloped the entire Kingdom of Etra. Although he couldn't make any changes to the barrier, he could still monitor the entire Kingdom of Etra through it.

Of course, like the wizards outside, he could only roughly know who was gathered where, but he couldn't know exactly what they were doing, but that was enough.

"Found you! You rats!"

A moment later, a glint flashed in Isaac's eyes, and the gale enveloping him suddenly howled. He accelerated again, flying towards the direction he had sensed.

While Isaac was flying towards the enemy, on the other side, in the mysterious space outside the kingdom, the wizards were in chaos again. They had already discovered it when Isaac's mental energy connected to the barrier.

Without a doubt, this kind of thing is not allowed; isn't it the same as using a cheat code?

This is so unfair to the others, especially given Isaac's overwhelming strength, but unfortunately...

Although they discovered it, they were completely helpless. They couldn't block Isaac's connection at all, and they couldn't even close the barrier...

Unless you destroy the barrier by brute force!

But that had a more serious impact.

The reason for this situation is not that Isaac's technology is superior to that of these wizards, but rather because of the ritual in Roton Fortress that is constantly collecting energy.

As mentioned above, the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood is very protective of his food!

The barrier has now been subtly assimilated by the rituals within Roton Fortress. The barrier is no longer maintained by these wizards, but by the Dimensional Demon God, Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood!

This is not a difference in technology, it's a difference in strength!

Therefore, although the faces of the high-ranking wizards on the platform turned dark, they did not react, because they knew that they could not move it, and even less could they forcibly break the barrier.

Otherwise, they would not only have to face the costs of building this barrier over the years, but also a dimensional demon god who is both grumpy in the morning and possessive of his food!

The consequences could be disastrous!

So even though Isaac had the X-ray vision cheat, that was all he could do. Besides, to put it positively, he got the X-ray vision cheat based on his own abilities. If you're not happy about it, why don't you try connecting to the barrier yourself? Don't you want to?

Although it smacks of shirking responsibility, there's really no other way; this is the only option...
