The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 90

Moreover, everyone here is a mad witch, so no one will discriminate against him for researching Outer God trading rituals. He might even be able to buy some or even get some for free!

Seriously... Thai pants are hot!

In addition, Isaac wanted to find someone. He had not forgotten what his father had said: the high wizard who had cursed his mother was a mad wizard!

Solomon's power was considerable, and his intelligence capabilities were outstanding, yet they still couldn't find him.

Therefore, the only hope Isaac can have for finding him is currently the Mad Witches!

Unfortunately, the codenames within the Mad Witch Society cannot be changed, otherwise he would definitely have chosen one. Confidence aside, the codename "Solomon" is too easy to expose him. Whether the other party has become stronger or not, as long as they still have some memory, the name "Solomon" will definitely alert them!

Of course, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Using this name also has its benefits; with this name, it will be easier for him to find that guy.

With three highly skilled disciples from one family, plus a demigod emperor high above the empire, Isaac doesn't think his side will lose!

Soon, a dark crack opened in a corner of the laboratory, and Isaac stepped inside.

Passing through the crack, Isaac arrived at a white platform floating in the air. On the platform were white stone pillars. Upon closer inspection, it was actually something similar to the online shopping search platform from his previous life.

All resource and technology exchanges can be conducted through stone pillars, and every single stone pillar!

Isaac went over and flipped through it, only to find that it was simply categorized into free and paid categories. Apart from that, all the other resources and technologies were mixed together, and there was no search function, so he had to find them himself.

Furthermore, the trading method is extremely primitive. It is not a purchase with gold coins or tokens, but a very primitive barter system. Therefore, this stone pillar also has another function: to help you contact the wizard corresponding to the order.

Isaac thought for a moment and then posted his finished dragon transformation elixir and the divine species modification surgery, both of which involved biological modification technology.

After thinking it over, Isaac also put the Divine Rat on the list, wanting to exchange it for a golem or golem-related technology. Princess Filo had no reason not to attend such a grand event. If he exchanged it, Isaac would gain something; if he didn't, he could annoy Filo. He wouldn't lose either way.

After hanging up these things, Isaac began to stroll around the square.

Although Isaac didn't see the gathering as having any value for exchange, it was actually only for him. Isaac clearly hadn't yet realized that the conditions he possessed far surpassed those of ordinary legendary wizards, especially mad wizards!

Most mad witches only embark on this path when they are desperate and have no other choice. Their conditions were already not good, and the mad witch debuff only makes things worse!

Let alone an ancient and massive wizarding organization like the Cult of Flesh, even the Tower of Flesh, which Isaac had previously considered joining, rarely accepted mad wizards, since nobody wanted to get involved with their filth...

Therefore, the Mad Witch Association's platform is an invaluable platform for many Mad Witches to communicate in a friendly manner.

Therefore, looking around, the platform was full of wizards gathered in twos and threes discussing, some of them of the same level, and some of them of different levels, with an exceptionally strong academic atmosphere!

If you ignore the strange, abstract projections and the wizards whose bodies are constantly undergoing distortions, the scene is actually quite harmonious.

Chapter 135 Trading

As it turns out, people can sometimes be influenced by the atmosphere. Before coming, Isaac didn't expect any interaction here, but after wandering around the square for a while, he still slipped into a small group and started discussing and exchanging ideas.

There was nothing Isaac could do; he didn't want to either, but what could they do when their conversation revolved around how to make a deal with the dormant Outer Gods?

Although Isaac's "trade" method with the Outer Gods differs from that of the other mad witches, some principles are common and worth considering.

Unfortunately, after exchanging words for a while, for some reason, the others chased Isaac away with sour faces. Helpless, he could only continue to wander around the square and then sneak into a small group to participate in the discussion.

The discussion was still about how to make a deal with the sleeping Outer Gods, but unfortunately, just like before, we were chased away after only a few words...

He just didn't understand. It was just forcibly awakening an Outer God, why was he so afraid?

Why must we trade while He's asleep? A proper trade is hardly worth anything!

Shaking his head and sighing, Isaac continued to wander around the square, occasionally joining in other people's discussions. However, the topics were no longer the same as before, but rather a jumble of random thoughts, although many of them were just impromptu ideas and mostly nonsensical.

However, he did have some brilliant inspirations that were helpful to Isaac's experiments and studies.

However, this was still a gathering of mad witches, so the most discussed topics were related to the Outer Gods. There were other discussions, but not as many as this one. Unfortunately, these mad witches were all too timid. As soon as he expressed his opinion, they all kicked him out.

Seriously... with such a cowardly heart, what kind of mad witch are you?

What angered Isaac the most was that if you're going to ostracize someone, why give them such a ridiculous nickname?

Fine, if you're going to come up with a nickname, at least come up with something with some class. What kind of nickname is "madman"?

What's wrong with you? It's been like this for years! How can you spout nonsense with your eyes wide open?

Instead of looking for the reasons within themselves...

Although he wasn't very happy with the new nickname, Isaac figured it was their mouth, and he couldn't control what they said, so he just let them be.

Anyway, as long as it's not a topic related to Outer Gods, no one stops him from participating, and as long as he doesn't speak about topics related to Outer Gods, there's no problem.

This continued until the deal Isaac posted on the pillar was accepted, at which point he got up and headed to the agreed-upon location.

"It really is you." A moment later, Isaac arrived at his destination and smiled knowingly upon seeing the visitor.

The deal that was accepted was for the Divine Rat. Looking at the entire Mad Witch Guild, the only one who would want this thing was probably Princess Filo. After all, while divine creatures are rare, rats are a different story...

Ultimately, it's still a bit watered down. Shushu only achieved what he has today because he ate the divine rats as snacks. No one else has the same conditions as him.

Of course, it's possible that some people are genuinely interested in the divine species and want to trade for one, but Isaac's trading terms involve golems and golem-related technologies.

Golems are something only the rich and powerful can afford in the wizarding world; ordinary wizards simply don't have the ability to do so.

Due to various factors, the only person who could make a deal with him was basically Princess Filo.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, just as Isaac had predicted, it was indeed Princess Philo.

"Greetings, Princess. How have you been?" Isaac greeted her with a smile and a bow.

"Hmph~" Philo snorted coldly, her expression very displeased. She was clearly disgusted by Isaac. After all, she still wanted to trade with Isaac even after all this, which was enough to show how necessary the Divine Rat was to her. These days, wild Divine Rats were hard to find.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Isaac grinned. "Wouldn't it have been better if we'd done this sooner? We're all wizards; couldn't we just trade directly? Why insist on getting something for free?"

That person... is just despicable!

"Ten Obsidian Golems!"

"Impossible!" Philo refused without even thinking. Although the Obsidian Golem is a basic golem, its value is not low. You should know that even in Solomon's territory there are only three hundred of them, and his older sister's workshop can only make three a month.

Ten obsidian golems cost at least a million gold coins!

She also had the ability to modify the Divine Rat, so she knew how much it cost. She was asking for nearly a million gold coins right off the bat. Why didn't she just rob her?

Seeing Philo's angry expression, Isaac grinned: "Don't even think about getting less than ten obsidian golems! I can choose not to do this business; we can just wait it out."

Philo's face darkened; she was extremely displeased with Isaac's smug expression, but...

As Isaac said, he could choose not to do business with the Divine Rat, since it was only a scarce commodity with a mediocre market prospect and so-so profits.

But she's different!

The success rate of the God Network Transformation Surgery is shockingly low!

So much time has passed, and she has never succeeded even once!

She even asked a great arcane mage for help, but it still failed!

At this point, Philo understood that either the technology was incomplete, or it required a condition that Isaac could not fulfill.

The former is unlikely. Although Philo and Isaac didn't get along, precisely because of this, she knew Isaac's character very well; he wasn't the kind of person who would resort to underhanded tactics.

Therefore, there must be some condition that only Isaac can meet.

This is not surprising, especially for a legendary wizard.

After all, the path of each legendary wizard is unique, and often the legendary wizards themselves may not even realize that some of their techniques can only be used by them.

But this is tough on Philo...

Her current research is mainly stuck on the divine species, and the simplest and most efficient way is to trade with Isaac.

After all, experiments can fail, and if they fail, the divine species will be gone. How many can be captured...?

So after such a long stalemate, Philo finally gave in.

She understood perfectly well that although this was tantamount to indirectly supporting Isaac, which was a serious act of aiding the enemy, it didn't matter. As long as she became stronger faster than Isaac or about the same speed as Isaac, it would have no impact whatsoever!

only……

Ten obsidian golems? That's way too many!

"Hiss! Huff!" Taking two deep breaths, Philo nodded to Isaac's surprised look. "Alright! Ten obsidian golems, right? I want ten spirit rats!"

Isaac looked at Philo, the surprise on his face slowly fading. He looked at Philo seriously and nodded: "So confident? As expected of the eldest princess. Just send over those one hundred obsidian golems. I will give you the divine rat after I receive the golems."

"it is good!"

Philo said it crisply and decisively, then turned and left.

Isaac watched Philo's retreating figure for a long time, smiled, and then turned and left as well.

That's what makes it interesting!

Chapter 136 Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, Here I Come!

The deal with Philo was just a minor incident. Although he was surprised that Philo had the guts to be taken advantage of, it was nothing special because Philo was more confident in himself!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen to trade with the golem instead of changing the terms after Filo gave in.

Although golems are expensive, they are not easy to sell. A complete obsidian golem is worth around 100,000 gold coins, but that's for a single golem. If you buy them in bulk, each one will cost between 70,000 and 80,000 gold coins. If you buy 100 golems, you can sell them for at least 7 million gold coins!

But who would buy so many golems for no reason?

It's important to know that the Solomon Territory only maintains 300 military units on a regular basis. This is because they are a border territory with a larger military budget, and in addition to the territory's own attacks, the empire also allocates a portion of its military budget.

But that only resulted in the maintenance of three hundred units. After all, buying a Golem isn't the end of the story. Even if you don't use it regularly and just leave it there, the maintenance alone will cost a lot of money.

This thing is for combat, after all. If we save money on this, what if it breaks down when we actually use it?

So, in general, golems are valuable, but that's all they are. Their market is already saturated, and only war-torn areas need a large number of golems.

However, the golems in those places usually have fixed suppliers, so under normal circumstances, it's impossible to get involved.

One hundred units—such a large quantity would take even Solomon's territory a long time to absorb.

But Philo understood this principle, which was one of the reasons she agreed.

She was disgusted, so naturally she wanted to get her revenge!

If it were just pure gold coins, she wouldn't even bother with Isaac!

The end result was that Isaac became rich, but it also seemed like he wasn't...

So, let's keep going to parties!
