Steadfast Wizard: From Heart-Swapping Rat to Dimensional Demon God

The wand, one of the most important pieces of equipment for a spellcaster, is even more important for legendary wizards, and together with the wizard's robe and wizard's hat, they are known as the wizard's three-piece set.

The wand is even more important in the three-piece set, because even for spellcasters who do not rely on the [Legendary] set, the wand can significantly enhance their power.

Of course, the touching effect also brings with it a touching price. Isaac knows a little about the price of wands, but he doesn't currently have any plans to buy one, or rather, his budget...

Although he didn't have that plan, since he was already there, Isaac decided to take a stroll along Wand Avenue first, just to broaden his horizons.

……

Before long, Isaac not only finished looking at Wand Avenue, but also visited the other three avenues: Spell Avenue, Materials Avenue, and Department Store Avenue.

Well, how should I put it?

Although the names are very down-to-earth, the items inside are all genuine, and Isaac was overwhelmed by the sheer variety.

Luckily, he wasn't very wealthy, otherwise he would have been tempted to go on a shopping spree.

Although he didn't buy anything after walking around, Isaac didn't come away empty-handed; he now had a clearer understanding of the town in the lake.

First of all, Lake Town is not, as he previously stated, the trading center for all spellcasters in his world. To be more precise, it should be described as one of them.

However, the spellcasters in the lakeside town seemed to come from all over the world. After this round, he heard five or six languages, and even more common languages ​​with accents.

Secondly, although the goods sold are mainly concentrated on the four main streets, this does not mean that there are only these four main streets. The four districts divided by the four main streets have their own unique characteristics.

According to the information he gathered, most of these places are strongholds of various wizarding organizations, with a small number of shops that reportedly sell all sorts of things.

However, Isaac is not interested in this, at least not very much so now.

He was interested in joining a wizarding organization, but unfortunately, they wouldn't accept him. The wizarding organizations in Lake City only accepted wizards who were at least Grand Wizards, and he had only just become a formal wizard; he was still far from that level.

Once Isaac had a general understanding of the town in the lake, he no longer hesitated and headed straight for his destination to get down to business!

First, he sold the Bloodline Essence Potion he had to the potion shop for 80 gold coins. This price was 20 gold coins lower than the market price, but there was no other way, since he was in a hurry.

If you try to sell your wares at a stall on Department Store Avenue, you might not even find a buyer. Even if you do, you'll probably only sell them for 90 gold coins, not 100. Otherwise, people would just buy directly from the shops.

After selling the potions, Isaac stopped by the potion shop and bought three sets of materials for the Bloodline Essence potion for 120 gold coins. He then went to the Department Store Avenue and bought a Knight-level Alchemist Puppet for 100 gold coins. Finally, he went to the Spellcasting Avenue and bought three spellbooks for 156 gold coins.

By this point, the funds Isaac had brought with him had been almost entirely spent.

After finishing his shopping, Isaac didn't linger. With only four gold coins left in his pocket, there was no point in staying. He might as well go back and continue studying magic to improve his strength.

After taking the puppet and riding a small boat through a layer of white mist, Isaac returned to the woodland. The old witch was still stirring the cauldron at her own leisurely pace, showing no reaction to Isaac's arrival.

She didn't react, but Isaac couldn't remain silent. He bowed slightly to the old witch to show his respect, then led the alchemical puppet out of the woods and onto the training ground in front of the castle.

On the training ground, Barton, his upper body bare and flushed red, was practicing under Smith's watchful gaze. Isaac could sense the magical fluctuations emanating from him, indicating that he had already taken the potion.

but……

"Young Master Isaac." x2

Isaac glanced at Barton up and down, raising an eyebrow slightly. Hadn't he made a breakthrough after drinking a whole bottle?

Turning his head to look at the alchemical puppet that looked like a black knight behind him, Isaac immediately understood why his family hadn't given Barton any potions to help him break through. Giving a hundred gold coins to a living person might be a waste, but giving it to a puppet would bring a sure thing!

Meanwhile, Barton was already in a bit of a predicament because he hadn't made a breakthrough, and now that he saw the magical puppet behind Isaac that was radiating a dangerous aura, he felt an even greater sense of crisis!

"Uncle Smith, give it a go and see how strong it is." After waving his hand to signal Barton to continue practicing, Isaac said to Smith.

"Yes, young master." Smith nodded slightly.

He was no stranger to puppets, as the Solomon family had them and even formed a legion of them. Of course, Isaac's was only slightly better than the lowest-level puppet and couldn't compare to the ones at home.

Naturally, this kind of puppet wasn't too much trouble for Smith.

"boom!"

As soon as Isaac gave the order, the black knight behind him charged out first, his eyes flashing red light, wielding a greatsword, and collided with Smith!

Isaac's pupils contracted slightly because he hadn't seen either the Black Knight's or Smith's movements clearly!

As Smith, wielding a cane-sword, clashed fiercely with the Black Knight, who was wielding a greatsword, Isaac's unrealistic thought slowly faded away—he should just give that potion to Claw.

He originally wanted to try dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, which is a pretty good path. There are quite a few wizards in the wizarding world today who follow this path, and he has even seen several wizarding organizations in this field.

He thinks he can do it too!

Isn't it just about physical strength?

Isn't it just a special ability?

There's no problem that magic can't solve!

But that was Smith's thought before he faced the Black Knight; now...

Go to sleep.

Looking at the surging sword energy and dazzling movements in the training ground, Isaac abandoned his unrealistic ideas. He should just stick to casting spells; melee combat wasn't for him.

A knight's strength stems from his physical prowess, but his honed combat skills are also crucial.

For example, in the battle on the training ground, as the battle progressed, Isaac could now see Smith and the Black Knight's movements more or less clearly.

In this battle, the Black Knight, as an alchemical puppet, is definitely superior to Smith in terms of physical ability, after all, it is made of steel, while Smith is old and his physical functions are beginning to decline. However, Smith is the one who has the upper hand in the battle.

He effortlessly parried the Black Knight's attacks, wielding his staff and sword with ease, guiding the Black Knight to display the three pre-set fighting styles one by one.

This composure and confidence cannot be acquired through drugs!

And Smith isn't even among the strongest players in the Cavaliers!

"Stop it, I understand the gist of it." He waved his hand, signaling Smith to stop. He had a pretty good grasp of the situation. If they continued fighting, they would have to change the energy source. They had a small business to manage, so they had to be careful with their money.

"Yes, Master Isaac."
