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

Chapter 145 Slave Traders

Of the four Mystic Eyes, Petrify and Immobilize are the easiest to obtain and have the best practical effects. They can basically be perfectly adapted to all combat systems and are Isaac's second choice.

Although the Demon Eye is the most powerful demon eye, it is highly bound to the Demon Dominator school, so it is actually his last target.

Because the Demon Dominator style currently overlaps with his fighting style, the Demon Dominator has two main fighting styles: one is to summon a large number of demon legions and directly overwhelm them with sheer numbers, and the other is to use the contracted demons as power banks, frantically squeezing their magic power and directly using spells to wipe them out.

The former has the ability to transform flesh and blood, which, although not as convenient as summoning demons, is much more free. The latter already has his own secret techniques and no longer lacks magic power, at least not now.

However, it's not to say that the Demon's Eye is completely useless. That's not entirely true. For wizards, demons are excellent research material, especially for legendary wizards.

Legend has it that wizards are not like arcanists; their personal styles are much stronger, even when conducting the same experiments.

Different legendary wizards may produce different results, because each legendary wizard has a different level of mystery and carries different concepts.

Therefore, it is said that among wizards, there is rarely a master-apprentice system like that among arcane wizards. Their knowledge can only be exchanged, but it is difficult to replicate.

The Demon Eye's powerful control over demons can greatly assist wizards in conducting a series of experiments on demons, and even in breeding them.

As for the final Kaleidoscope Eye, that's Isaac's first choice!

It's not necessarily because this demonic eye is more powerful than the previous ones.

Isaac listed it as his top choice because it has a gacha (gacha) feature!

Before the transplant, it is completely unknown what kind of power the Kaleidoscope Eye will awaken!

It could be world-destroying, or it could just be a small trick; it's very exciting.

Compared to other stable abilities, Isaac prefers to seek out this kind of thrill. Of course, besides the thrill, Isaac also wants to try and see if he can use his cheat code to control the Kaleidoscope Eye and awaken its highest level of ability!

Unfortunately, only the Frozen Eye and Petrifying Eye are relatively easy to obtain; the others are nowhere to be found, especially the rarest Kaleidoscope Eye, which is said to have been made from a treasure of the Kingdom of Etra.

Only one is produced per year, making it extremely precious; even with money, you might not be able to buy it.

So after posting a thread on the cult's forum, Isaac stopped paying attention and started thinking about how to choose his mage tower. Keeping the Terra royal family hanging in the air wasn't a good idea; if he landed sooner, they would be at ease, and Isaac would be at ease too.

And this period of reflection lasted for three days!

Over the next three days, he discussed the matter with the mage tower construction team sent by the royal family, and finally chose their first proposed design—an ultra-large standard mage tower.

This mage tower isn't particularly outstanding in terms of performance; it's just a standard mage tower without any extra equipment or production lines. Its only notable feature is its size!

And empty!

This mage tower is enormous!

Four sets of energy systems alone are prepared!

Later, Isaac can simply add the corresponding functions to whatever style he wants to go with. This was specially designed by the design team considering that Isaac is currently only a second-tier archmage, and his personal style and school of thought have not yet been determined.

Of course, while it's called a specialized one, Isaac knows that's just a figure of speech; it's still a standard mage tower, albeit one designed for second-generation mages.

The mage tower of the eldest princess that he visited before was of this type, with only the most basic functions of a mage tower, leaving a large space for her to customize it herself.

Of course, hers can't compare to Isaac's in terms of size. Firstly, Isaac's mage tower was built to shut him up, as compensation, so the funding was much more abundant. Secondly, this isn't the capital city, and the three brothers have a very harmonious relationship now, so they can build as big as they can without any taboos.

As for what to do if there are any taboos in the future...

Then just move it. Why is the mage tower such an inconvenient thing?

Although the mage tower has strong territorial attributes and is not as mobile as the floating city, it is not impossible to relocate it. However, the cost will be slightly higher, and the mage tower will be in a silent state during the relocation process, with all functions suspended.

After Isaac finalized the plan for the mage tower, it was as if something had been decided in the dark, and good news kept coming one after another!

First and foremost, the experimental results of advanced spells have come out, and the results are very encouraging!

The spell's effect is excellent, and it can be influenced by cheat codes, with the effects stacking!

Three days later, the ordinary dragon lizard, after being subjected to only one high-level spell from Isaac, awakened its dragon blood, grew wings, and transformed into a blazing dragon lizard!

Tier 1 High-Rank Monster!

Outstanding individuals can advance to the second tier!

The effect is fantastic!

Even better, it can be stacked!

The only downside is that even advanced spells cannot break the law of conservation of energy. Ten advanced spells are indeed roughly equivalent to ten times the growth, but the energy required for them also becomes ten times!

However, the dragon lizard's energy intake rate couldn't keep up with its energy consumption rate, and therefore it starved to death on the second day.

This was only because Liuli lowered the training intensity of the second dragon lizard; otherwise, it would have died even faster!

This temporarily put an end to Isaac's idea of ​​casting high-level spells on Smith and the Holy Lord. It's better to wait and see; there's no rush. The best course of action is to play it safe.

Secondly, the date for the exchange meeting on the Dragon Transformation Elixir, which Isaac had been waiting for for a long time, has finally been set, in just two days!

Ninety percent of the core members of the Dragon Blood Purification Research Group will be present, including a fourth-tier miracle wizard!

He was also one of the founders of the research group.

Its value is off the charts!

Finally, there's the Kaleidoscope Eye. It's said that another uprising has broken out in the Kingdom of Itra, and they're seeking help, offering the Kaleidoscope Eye as a prize. However, the veracity of this information is uncertain, as the person who gave him the tip said it's a regular event in the Kingdom of Itra—an annual event—…

Isaac remained skeptical. How could a country survive for so long if it experienced uprisings every year?

After all, according to the information Isaac found, the Kingdom of Etra is a kingdom with a history of five hundred years. Without exception, such kingdoms with a long history have strong leaders who can regularly use force to clean up the problems within the kingdom. How could such a country regularly break out in rebellion?

It's still only once a year...

But no matter what I think, I should still go. What if it really is true?

Anyway, it won't cause any delays.

Oh, and there's a little thing that happened in between. The Terra royal family found out about Isaac's deal with Princess Filo at the Mad Witch Guild. Instead of making Isaac cancel the deal, they directly cashed out the golems and gave Isaac a full ten million gold coins in cash!

Behind this, there must be some guidance from Old Deng!

Otherwise, judging others by one's own standards, Isaac didn't think Philo would so readily give away ten million gold coins in cash.

But no matter what, Isaac is very happy with this situation. Both his wallet and his mood are very good. He can exchange so much money for the face that has been regained. Who wouldn't be happy?

Therefore, when it comes to training arcane mages, Isaac decides to use his financial power!

That day, carriages laden with goods drove into Isaac's castle under Smith's guidance and stopped in the former training ground. A portly merchant with ten fingers adorned with magnificent jeweled rings and a large gold necklace around his neck stepped down from the carriage, rubbing his hands together and nodding respectfully to Smith.

"Sir Smith, is Baron Solomon available right now?"

"Young Master Isaac is conducting an experiment and will be here shortly. Please wait a moment."

Although the businessman adopted a humble attitude and his various stereotypical little actions were quite unpleasant, Smith showed no disdain whatsoever, either in his heart or on his face.

Because despite his appearance, he is actually a second-tier legendary wizard!

Remy, a rather legendary fellow, was born a slave. By chance, he underwent a ceremony to become a legendary wizard and was fortunate enough to survive. No one knows what he went through, but he has now escaped his slave status and transformed into a second-tier legendary wizard, as well as a slave trader.

All the stereotypes about him as a shrewd businessman were intentional; it was a story he wrote for himself, the story of a slave trader.

Before Smith separated from Isaac, he had dealt with Remy a lot and often bought slaves from him.

Or rather, any nobleman who wanted to explore the wilderness could not avoid the slave trader, because in those desolate places, no one except slaves would want to settle down.

Remy nodded upon hearing this, without any objection, then subtly sized up Smith, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.

Smith knew him, and he naturally knew Smith too, after all, Smith was an elder of the Solomon family. But the Smith he knew wasn't this strong, and the violent magic emanating from him was...

"A monster? No wonder he's a mad witch!"

Remy's eyes narrowed slightly, and he became secretly on guard. As a legendary wizard, Remy had long heard of Isaac's reputation as a mad wizard!

I'd only ever heard about it; this was my first time actually doing it. I never expected to give someone such a big surprise before even meeting them. How could someone so close as family be so capable of such a radical transformation?

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at the numb-faced slaves in the carriage behind him with pity. Falling into this guy's hands is your bad luck.

However, despite his sympathy, business still had to be done. Remy's childhood as a slave did not make him resent the slave system; his only resentment was that he was not the master.

So after being freed from slavery, the first thing he did was become a slave trader!

Unlike most superhumans, Remy did not aspire to a noble status because he had seen many slaves born into noble families when he was young. In his opinion, what was the point of becoming a noble?

Even if you lose, you'll still become a slave; there's no difference between us!

In this world, what matters most is not power, but money and strength!

Being a slave trader means you can make money and gain power by following his legendary path—it couldn't be more perfect.

So while Remy felt sorry for these unfortunate slaves, he still had to sell them. Who would turn down money?

Remy didn't have to wait long. Soon, Isaac, dressed in a gray wizard's robe, walked towards him, followed by Liuli, who was wearing sexy lingerie.

However, Remi did not focus on Liuli's clothes like the other adventurers before him. He glanced at Liuli and then quickly lowered his head, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Damn it!

I saw a demon in broad daylight!

As a legendary wizard, although he was not a mad wizard, his power came from various outer gods, so he was very sensitive to the power of the outer gods. Therefore, he could tell at a glance that Liuli was not human!

Although they were just demon gods' servants, to ordinary legendary wizards, they were no different from demon gods. This terrified Remy, and he gained a completely new understanding of Isaac's "mad reputation"!

No wonder he advanced to the second tier in such a short time. Remy was quite envious at first, and even had the idea of ​​becoming a Mad Witch along with him. But now that he thinks about it, he should forget it. The Mad Witch is just too crazy!

At this moment, Isaac was unaware that his image had undergone a complete transformation in Remy's eyes. He greeted Remy with a smile and said warmly, "Uncle Remy, it's been a long time."

Yes, it has been a long time. The last time we met was ten years ago. At that time, he only glanced at Remy from afar by the window before the maid pulled him back into the room, afraid that he would be frightened by the slave.

"It's been a long time. You've become so powerful." Remy quickly suppressed his panic, a professional smile appearing on his face. He unconsciously rubbed his hands together in front of him. "Baron, shall we take a look at the goods?"

As a well-known slave trader, Remy was quite good at judging people. He treated different people differently. Some people needed to exchange pleasantries with him, some needed to be flattered first, and others needed to be provided with some extra services in order to make the transaction go smoothly.

Isaac, on the other hand, is clearly the type who dislikes small talk and prefers to get straight to the point.

"Okay, let's take a look at the goods first." As expected, Isaac didn't show any dissatisfaction, but nodded and followed behind Remy.

Soon, Remy led Isaac to the first carriage. Lifting the black cloth, they found a small iron cage filled with more than twenty adult men. It was crowded and the conditions were quite poor, but the food was decent. These were high-quality laborers.

"They come from the recently destroyed Kingdom of Ray. Although they don't have much technology or extraordinary talent, they are healthy and strong. They are worth one gold coin each."

"One gold coin?" Isaac looked at Remy in surprise. It wasn't that it was expensive, but rather cheap. "This is probably the cost price, right?"

Generally speaking, slaves are cheap, but it depends on what kind of slave they are. Different slaves naturally have different prices. Slaves who are healthy, strong, and have a good background are high-quality slaves and can be bought to build territories. Their market price is around ten gold coins, and bulk purchases will cost at least seven or eight gold coins.

One gold coin is a rock-bottom price, practically worthless!
