"It's simple. I contacted Him before I came, but He didn't respond."

"???"

Everyone stared at Isaac in bewilderment. After a long while, they came to their senses, their expressions gradually turning to terror. They slowly stood up and assumed a fighting stance!

Fortunately, Caesar was the first to react, and hurriedly asked, "Third brother, which time are you referring to?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their shocked gazes to Caesar's face. What the heck? What do you mean by "which time"? Is the pressure of facing the wilderness really that great now?

"Um...it's been going on these past couple of days, but don't worry, I didn't have any in-depth conversations, I just tested the waters." Isaac gestured with his right hand, indicating to Caesar not to panic.

Although the ceremony was only recently held, Isaac was merely making a routine probe and did not intend to trade with the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood here at the fortress, even though he had made ample preparations to ensure that everything would go smoothly.

But what if?

Isaac didn't want to take any risks, especially not his family.

Although each wizard level only has three spellbooks, it doesn't mean you can only trade with the Outer Gods three times.

In theory, as long as you are bold enough and have extraordinary means, you can trade as many times as you want. However, the maximum number of trades that can be written in the magic book is only three.

However, the more times you trade with the same Outer God, the greater the risk of failure, because in the process of trading, while you become familiar with the other party's power, the other party also becomes familiar with your methods.

And when your methods are fully exposed, that's when the Outer Gods begin to reap the rewards!

However, Isaac didn't have this concern, as he could see the success rate before the ritual was even started.

"Testing..." Everyone looked at Isaac as if he were a madman. Is this... the Mad Witch?

Among the crowd, Gaia's eyes were filled with worry as he looked at Isaac. Just as he had expected, Isaac plunged headlong into the abyss, showing no sign of turning back...

My body has only just recovered...

However, Gaia wasn't affected by this emotion for long. She quickly composed herself and asked with a frown, "Could it be that He ignored you?"

"Impossible." Before Isaac could answer, Cheryl shook her head. "If He knew the identity of his third brother, then the third brother would be dead by now. This is the ultimate bottom line in the legendary battle between wizards and outer gods."

"So... the Black Orcs really have gained an Outer God to aid them?" Gaia's face darkened.

For border lords like them, dealing with the Black Orcs every year meant they were all too aware of how much the situation would change if the Black Orcs had an Outer God on their side.

Cheryl shook her head gravely and said, "One more is just the best-case scenario; there could be more than one! Because there are too many high priests! The Outer Gods couldn't possibly have that much influence over the inner world."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent again. This matter was beyond their capabilities. Among those present, only Gaia was qualified to participate, and even then, she was only qualified to participate, not a main force.

"Young Master Isaac, isn't he able to communicate with the Outer Gods? Could we ask them to help us as well?" Just as everyone was silent, the Mad Sword Alythos said to Isaac.

"..." Isaac looked at him like he was an idiot. "First of all, I can only communicate, not command. If we really made contact, their first thought would definitely be to take my soul. Secondly, none of the Outer Gods are good people. They are not doing charity. The Black Orcs do this because they don't treat the Black Orcs as human beings and sacrifice them at will. Finally, the Outer Gods are not so easy to contact."

Upon hearing this, Alythos lowered his head with a grim expression. If that's the case, then it's all over.

"Thump!"

Just as everyone's mood was becoming increasingly depressed, Gaia slammed his sword down again, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and said.

"Things have come to this, and we have no choice but to fight. Neither the Black Orcs nor the Outer Gods are good people, and with them together, it's even less likely to end well. So, abandon all unrealistic fantasies; we have no way out!" Gaia said solemnly and earnestly. "So, everyone, let's fight!"

After a pause, seeing that the crowd's emotions had been somewhat stirred, Gaia continued to give them a boost, saying, "And we're not without a chance of winning. We just need to hold out until the Truth Association and the Church of Light come to our aid. It concerns the Outer Gods; they will definitely come!"

After Gaia finished speaking, everyone's morale noticeably rose again, clearly seeing some hope in Gaia's words.

After that, everyone tacitly ignored the topic and began to discuss the battle plan based on the intelligence they had.

The discussion lasted from morning until afternoon before it was finally brought to a preliminary conclusion.

At first, Isaac was able to participate in the discussion, but later he gradually became an observer, then sat on the sidelines in a daze, occasionally glancing at the witch Barbara.

There are so many legends about witches in this world, and it is said that the earliest origins of wizards came from witches.

Of course, this source...

Not that friendly...

So Isaac has always been quite interested in witches. He is very curious about what kind of physiological structure allows them to be born with magic, and some of them are extremely powerful.

However, given Isaac's current moral standards, he is not capable of dissecting humans, so this curiosity is usually buried in his heart, only surfacing when he sees a witch.

After the meeting, Isaac intended to leave with everyone, but seeing that his older brother and sister hadn't moved, he quietly sat back down. It seemed there was another small meeting to be held.

Sure enough, after the four barons left the council chamber, everyone else's eyes turned to Isaac.

"You want to ask me about the Outer Gods?" Isaac said before they could ask, and everyone nodded.

"Tsk~ How should I put it? Just like I said, it's impossible for the Outer Gods to help us fight the Black Orcs. We can't afford the price. But we should be able to find out which Outer Gods are on the other side. It shouldn't be a big problem." Isaac shrugged helplessly.

This was the limit of what he could do.

Gaia nodded; he was aware of that. But after a moment's thought, he asked, "The one you mentioned... the one who controls the dimension of flesh and blood..."

"The Lord of billions of flesh and blood?" Isaac raised an eyebrow.

Gaia nodded. He wasn't a legendary wizard; uttering that name would be sensed.

"Could his slumber be related to you seizing a portion of his physical dimension?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it's that bad. What I took was only a very small part, insignificant compared to the entire flesh and blood dimension." As soon as Gaia said this, Isaac understood what he meant. "So if you want me to put those Outer Gods to sleep through a deal, that's not realistic."
