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

"This is... The Truth Wizard's Combat Manual, Volume 1? Can I have this?" Isaac looked at Cheryl in surprise after glancing at the title.

The "True Wizard Combat Manual" is a magic book that only a few arcane mages in the Truth Association can study. It is said to record a systematic set of extremely practical combat arcane spells. Although its research value is average, it greatly enhances combat power.

If you ask Isaac if he wants it, then he definitely does.

But the rules of the Truth Society are not so easy to follow.

"Take it. The right to inherit this spellbook has already been bought by Dad. It was originally intended to train our own arcanists, but unfortunately there are too few talented ones, so it has never been used much."

"You can do that?" Isaac was somewhat surprised, but he also took the spellbook without hesitation.

"Okay, you can start learning. If you don't understand anything, just call on the tower spirit and she will notify me. I'm going up now; I have some things to take care of."

"Okay, take care, big sister!"

After watching his older sister leave, Isaac immediately went to his desk and eagerly began to look through the magic book.

This spellbook doesn't record many spells, only three in total—magic imprint, fire arrow, and fire shaping.

Besides that, it's all about various battle plans, covering all sorts of unexpected situations; it's practically a practical encyclopedia of combat.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the magic mentioned above is unimportant; on the contrary, it is very important and powerful!

Magic Imprint, a type of arcane modification, allows the implantation of a magic imprint into a part of the body to store additional magic power, up to three times the user's own magic power!

Flame Arrow, a noble fire elemental magic, is the fire magic with the longest range, highest accuracy, and strongest power among first-tier magic.

Fire Shaping, a fire elemental auxiliary magic, can alter the shape, trajectory, and power of fire spells.

The three spells are interconnected and can be used to construct a very complex combat system.

Isaac quickly immersed himself in the profound ocean of knowledge. The various real-world scenarios recorded in the magic book greatly broadened his horizons. In addition to learning the coping methods in the book, he would also think of some solutions based on his own experience, verifying each other's findings and gaining invaluable insights.

Time flies when someone is engrossed in studying; in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

During these three days, Isaac learned a great deal of wizard combat skills. Although most of them remained on paper, he was able to digest most of them in just a few battles. In addition, he also learned two of the three spells: Fire Arrow and Fire Shaping.

The reason I didn't learn the most practical magic imprint is because I didn't have the materials.

Magic imprints are implanted into the body, and any spell involving self-modification cannot be taken lightly, whether it is a legendary wizard or a truth wizard.

"Fire Arrow!"

"boom!"

The laboratory on the third floor of the Mage Tower.

A blazing line of fire shot out from Isaac's chest, leaving a fiery red trail, and struck the target fifty meters away with precision, exploding into a violent burst of flames!

Looking at the power value given by the tower spirit, Isaac's lips curled up slightly. That's more like it, that's more like a wizard!

In high spirits, Isaac fired a few more fire arrows, thoroughly enjoying himself. Then he tidied up and began to conduct the experiments he hadn't been able to do before coming here, which he hadn't had the money to do.

……

"Is he still researching magic?"

At Solomon Fortress, Lord's Mansion, Caesar looked at Cheryl with curiosity.

"Hmm." Cheryl shrugged, somewhat wryly, "Now I understand why my third brother is so outstanding; he's truly insane!"

Caesar glanced at Cheryl. In her younger days, her obsession with magic was no less than Isaac's. In recent years, she had only had some free time because she had hit a bottleneck.

However, Caesar didn't say anything. He glanced in the direction of the mage tower and asked with some worry, "He's so crazy, won't something bad happen to him?"

"Don't worry, the tower spirit is watching over him, he won't have any problems. And his magical pet... tsk... although it looks a bit abstract, it's surprisingly the kind that's very caring. Don't worry."

"Since you've said so, then so be it." Caesar shrugged, then turned his gaze back to the sand table in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly.

Seeing this, Cheryl frowned slightly, her beautiful figure bending down slightly as she looked at the sand table with Caesar.

"Has the Black Orc army not been found yet?"

"No." Caesar shook his head. "Based on previous years, the Black Orc army should be almost assembled by now, but our scouts haven't found anything."

"That's a bit troublesome..." Cheryl hesitated for a moment while looking at the sand table, as if she was wondering whether she should say it.

"What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?" Caesar noticed the hesitation on Cheryl's face and asked curiously.

"Sigh~" After thinking for a moment, Cheryl sighed heavily, and finally decided to speak up. She said hesitantly, "Could it be the second brother...?"

Upon hearing this, Caesar fell silent. Cheryl didn't finish speaking, but he knew what she meant.

The second son is not the kind of person who can keep secrets. Many people know that he wants to compete for the title of viscount and has been working towards that goal.

Although Caesar was reluctant to suspect his brother of betraying the interests of the territory, realistically, he had to admit that it was something his second brother was capable of doing...

Because that's the level of the second-in-command: overly ambitious, short-sighted, and prone to taking unconventional approaches...

For example, in the recent goblin incident, in order to compete with Caesar for the position, he even went so far as to allow goblins in his territory to multiply!

He doesn't even consider how much damage this behavior will cause to the territory and its people!

Or rather, he didn't care; he only wanted to fight for the right of inheritance!

"Sigh~" After a moment of silence, Caesar also sighed and waved his hand helplessly. "Have your little elf keep an eye on the second one. I'll send the Shadow Guards to find the Black Orc army."

Cheryl nodded silently; she didn't want to see brothers turn against each other either.

"When is Father coming?" Cheryl asked.

It seems that if the second son really did such a thing, then only his father can stop him; Caesar's intervention would only add fuel to the fire.

"Soon, within a week. Preparing a gift for Isaac took a little longer." Caesar's lips curled up slightly when he mentioned Isaac, and his mood, which had been somewhat sour because of his second son, improved a bit.

What made him happiest during this time was that Isaac became a wizard, changing his previous frail and sickly appearance!

As the eldest brother, his greatest wish is for his brothers and sisters to be healthy!

……

"Haha! It's done!"
