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

Chapter 152 Resurrection and Reunion with "Old Friends"

Rona looked at the room key in Isaac's hand with a puzzled expression, still unable to understand why checking in would make the hidden surveillance agents leave.

Seeing Rona's puzzled expression, Isaac smiled slightly and explained, "Only people from the Terra Empire can stay at the Terra Hut. The person who was watching us from the shadows just now probably didn't have any bad intentions; it was just routine surveillance. After all, this is a country where a war is taking place."

"Oh~ so the Terra Empire isn't their enemy. As long as we can check in normally, it means we're at least not with the rebels." Rona suddenly realized. No wonder, she had just been wondering why a country at war would let them into the city so easily.

Although Isaac presented his noble badge and spellbook, not many people could recognize these two items, especially the former. As a newly appointed noble, and a subordinate noble of the border nobles, there were not many nobles within the empire who recognized this badge, let alone outside the empire.

"That's it." Isaac nodded, then led Lorna and Smith up to the second floor, where they each found their own rooms, and returned to their doors ten minutes later.

The reason they went to the room wasn't to put anything away. Isaac now had a huge phase space that could store a lot of things; all their luggage was inside. If anything happened, they could just leave immediately, which was very convenient.

Going to the room was just a routine check to make sure there were no listening devices inside.

Although this is Terra Hut, and theoretically these things shouldn't exist here, it's only in theory. Who knows if there are spies inside?

It's always better to be cautious when you're out and about.

At the entrance of the cottage, Isaac casually tossed a pumpkin that turned into a pumpkin carriage, then led Lorna into the carriage, while Smith sat in the driver's seat.

"Huh? What are you doing here?"

As soon as they stepped into the carriage, Isaac and Lorna were stunned. A transparent jellyfish was lying on the carriage seat, with several slippery tentacles moving unconsciously along the carriage walls and floor.

"Pfft~ I don't know, I woke up in here." Ain stretched out two tentacles to rub her sleepy eyes and said weakly, "Where is this? It seems we've come out?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, you went to the dream world..." Isaac looked at Ein speechlessly. Ever since he satisfied Isaac's wish last time, Ein had been staying in the dream world for a long time to accumulate wish power.

It had been so long since Isaac had seen her that he had almost forgotten he had such a fairy spirit.

"Lord Isaac, what is this...?" Behind Isaac, Rona blinked her big eyes, looking curiously at the transparent jellyfish lying on the chair.

"Let me introduce you. This is also my familiar, a fairy spirit named Ain."

"Another familiar... You have so many familiars..." Rona muttered, then looked at the transparent tentacle monster, Ein, in amazement, completely unable to associate it with an elf. "Um, is it a fairy elf?"

"Yeah, I hate to admit it, but it's true." Isaac shrugged helplessly.

"Okay, hello Ain, my name is Rona."

Ain looked at Rona's outstretched, fair hand, hesitated for a moment, then extended a tentacle and shook hands with Rona. Actually, it wanted to say that its name wasn't Ain, but after thinking about how humans named their children, it gave up the idea and continued to slump in its chair.

Isaac and Lorna each found a place to sit down, and the pumpkin carriage slowly drove towards the palace amidst the astonished gazes of the passersby.

Before long, Isaac's pumpkin carriage stopped in front of a manor next to the palace, and the three of them got out of the carriage.

"Wow~ What a huge manor! Whose property is this? It's so big!" Rona, with Ein perched on her shoulder, looked at the enormous manor in front of her with a shocked expression.

You must know, this is the royal city!

Although it was just the capital of a small country, every country's capital is a place where land is incredibly valuable. It's not easy to build such a large manor in the city, especially next to the royal palace.

This is more than just having money!

"Of course it's big, otherwise how could it be worthy of her status?"

"Her?" Rona looked at Isaac curiously. Although she was a woman, there seemed to be no ambiguity in her expression; instead, there was a hint of hostility...

Am I imagining things?

Rona's question went unanswered, because at that moment the manor gates opened, and as if anticipating their arrival, a construct clad in silver armor stepped out...?

"Huh?" Suddenly, Lorna was taken aback, because the moment the construct stepped out, she clearly felt a violent fluctuation in the emotions of Isaac and Smith!

"You...know each other?"

Isaac didn't answer. Instead, he squinted at the construct not far away, then chuckled and said, "I never thought we'd meet again. It seems His Highness the Prince values ​​you quite a bit, Second Brother..."

"Second Brother?!" Rona's shocked eyes darted back and forth between Isaac and the construct. This...

What's going on?

"I didn't expect it either... and what I didn't expect even more was that you would call me Second Brother, Third Brother." Isaac's familiar voice came from the construct.

"Strange, what's wrong with you? You should have been killed by me back then, there wasn't even much of your body left. How did you suddenly come back to life?" Isaac looked at Remington, who had come back from the dead, with curiosity.

No matter how you look at it, Remington doesn't have the slightest trace of necromancy, but that's not normal!

Remington was already beyond dead. To revive him, it would require either a true resurrection spell or a necromancy spell, but Remington's current situation is neither.

Resurrection is a true divine art, which can only be performed by gods or demigod-level wizards. Moreover, resurrection will automatically repair the body of the dead, and even a small piece of flesh can be restored to its original state under the divine power of resurrection!

In other words, resurrection using the resurrection spell will result in a physical body. The kind of resurrection that he is currently using, which is based on a construct, is generally a necromancer construct from necromancy. Although this spell can bring the dead back to life, the dead cannot have their own physical body and can only attach themselves to a construct.

Remington's current situation is similar to that of a Necromancer Construct, but only similar, because a Necromancer Construct is also a necromancer and has a large amount of necromancy within its body, while Remington has no necromancy within its body, not even any magic power, and is filled with the battle aura of a knight!

magical!

Remington didn't answer Isaac's question, but instead said, "The eldest princess is waiting for you inside. Let's go."

After saying that, he walked heavily into the manor with heavy steps.

Watching Remington's retreating figure, Isaac smiled. Things were getting more and more interesting.

"Let's go, it's time to go in." Isaac called out to Lorna, who was standing there in a daze, and followed Remington.

"Huh? Oh, oh." Rona was stunned for a moment, then took small steps to catch up with Isaac.

On the way, she followed closely behind Isaac, peeking at him and then at Remington, her little face full of conflict.

"Hehe~" Isaac glanced at Rona's conflicted expression out of the corner of his eye, chuckled, and said, "Are you curious about my relationship with my second brother?"

"Mmm!" Rona nodded emphatically, then realized what she meant and quickly shook her head. But then she looked at Isaac cautiously and asked softly, "Can I tell you?"

"There's nothing I can't talk about; it's all in the past," Isaac shook his head.

So, on the way to see the eldest princess, Isaac slowly recounted the events of Remington. After listening, Lorna remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Aren't you brothers? Why did things turn out like this?"

Upon hearing this, Remington paused for a moment, then continued walking as if nothing had happened. Isaac chuckled, patted Lorna's head, and said, "Because he is a true nobleman."

"Aren't you the same?"

"Me? Apart from my status, what do I have in common with the aristocracy you're familiar with?" Isaac countered.

"Huh? Oh right..." Rona fell into deep thought.

"Don't overthink it. Noble matters aren't worth pondering. You just need to know one thing: if you have the chance, kill him." Isaac pointed to Remington, who was leading the way, and said without any attempt to hide his intentions.

"Huh?" Rona was confused again. Wait, could she really say something like this to someone's face? And... "Why did you have to kill him? Aren't you brothers? Are you still holding a grudge?"

"Young Master, the Master and the Eldest Young Master should know about Young Master Remington's resurrection. Could there be something they're planning?" Smith glanced at Remington in front of him, sighed, and said.

"But they didn't say, so we don't need to worry about it. As for the hatred... heh~" Isaac chuckled, his laughter carrying a hint of disdain. "His actions aren't enough to make me hate him. It's just that he's too stupid, and I hate idiots."

After saying that, Isaac glanced at Remington, who was leading the way. To his surprise, Remington didn't react at all. If it were the old me, Isaac would probably have been furious, let alone angry.

It seems that dying once has indeed helped him grow a lot.

During their conversation, Remington led the three to a small garden behind the manor. The garden was filled with colorful flowers, and in one corner, a small pavilion made of magical flower vines stood, blending seamlessly into the garden. Although it was man-made, it looked so harmonious.

In the garden pavilion, two young girls sat: Princess Filo, dressed in a blue wizard's robe, and Angel, a witch in a purple wizard's robe. One was drinking tea, while the other quietly read a book. Both of them had calm expressions, as if they were sitting opposite a close friend.

"Tsk tsk~ I never thought we'd have the chance to meet again." Isaac swaggered into the flower pavilion, his gaze shifting between the two women before settling on Angel. He pointed curiously at Philo and said, "You can tolerate this?"

"There's nothing I can't tolerate, after all, I can't beat her." After a pause, Angel continued, "Besides, the Terra royal family contacted me and gave me a large sum of money to temporarily put aside my conflict with her. You should have received it, right?"

"Well, but I mean making up, not just temporarily putting things aside. After all, I don't have that much of a grudge against her." Isaac shrugged indifferently. Philo, standing beside him, curled her lip unhappily. Of course, she's the one who suffers! What grudge could she possibly have?

"But you, can you let it go?" Isaac looked at Angel with curiosity. Although Isaac didn't know much about their past, he figured it wouldn't be a good thing.

After all, Angel is a Primal Witch, and her magic is not as easily out of control as that of ordinary witches. Naturally, she would not be abandoned by her parents under normal circumstances and would have a very good childhood.

But all of this was ruined by Philo!

To be fair, if it were Isaac, he would definitely make Philo experience the same pain of losing his family and home!

So, did the Terra royal family lose their minds and give Angel money?

Isn't this aiding the enemy?

"We can't beat them."

"Hmm, very convincing." Isaac nodded, casually pulled over a chair and sat down, then looked at the two of them, "So tell me, why are you two here? Let's see if our needs conflict. I just want the Kaleidoscope Eye."

As he spoke, Isaac suddenly remembered something, glanced back at Lorna, and added, "And the Witch's Proof. I remember there are several of those, but I only need one."

The Witch's Proof is the core material of the Witch's Revival Ritual. This ritual allows a witch to skip years of hard work and directly ascend to the rank of Great Witch. In addition, this item is also very useful for Great Witches, and the demand for it is quite high.

"The Witch's Proof was just something I acquired incidentally. My goal is the Time Page, the third treasure of the Kingdom of Etra." Angel glanced at Rona behind Isaac in surprise. Daring to follow the Mad Witch, what a madwoman!

"It seems our three needs don't conflict. What I want is the Kingdom of Etra," Philo said with a smile, putting down his tea.

"Hmm, that's a good one... Hmm?" Isaac looked at Philo in surprise. No, girl, we're all second-tier wizards, how come you have such a big appetite?

Compared to Isaac's surprise, Angel's expression didn't change much, as if she already knew Philo's goal.

Isaac stared at Philo in surprise for a moment, then looked away at Angel and asked curiously, "I'm still wondering, why did you two get together? Was it love born from hatred?"

Isaac smelled gossip!

"No, I'm waiting for you here." Angel maintained her calm expression.

"Wait for me?" Isaac was taken aback, somewhat confused.

"Yes, I knew you would come to this country. The Time Capsule is very important to me, so I had no choice."

Although his expression remained calm, Isaac detected a hint of helplessness in Angel's words. "That's all?"

Of course, that's all. If she could, Angel wouldn't actually want to get involved with Isaac, that mad witch. He's a complete lunatic!

But there's no way around it; although Isaac is a madman, there's no denying that he's incredibly powerful!

She had seen the future, and to obtain the Time Page, she had no choice but to cooperate with Isaac…
