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

A short while later, the tower spirit delivered two spellbooks and a small box of magical materials to Isaac. Carrying the items out of the mage tower, Isaac casually tossed out a pumpkin, which conjured a pumpkin carriage. After putting the items inside, he looked at Philo.

"Hmm, which way do we go?"

Filo withdrew her gleaming eyes, revealing a sweet smile once more, and said, "Let's go to my mage tower. Perfect timing, to meet our other teammate and get used to things beforehand."

"Adapt?" Isaac raised an eyebrow; it seemed this witch's abilities were quite unique.

Unfortunately, when faced with Isaac's question, Philo just smiled mysteriously and offered no answer.

Isaac didn't ask any more questions, immediately transformed the pumpkin carriage back into its original form, and then put it away.

"Huh? It can be used to store items?" Philo blinked, looking bewildered as Isaac put the pumpkin away. The things she had just put into the pumpkin carriage hadn't fallen out. Could this "legend" really be used like this? She had thought Isaac was going to drive the carriage there.

"It's a new trick I recently came up with, but it's still a bit troublesome and can't compare to a real spatial artifact." Isaac shrugged helplessly and glanced at the gold bracelet with rubies and emeralds inlaid on Philo's wrist.

If he had spatial artifacts, why would he have developed such a troublesome method?

Moreover, this is not without its costs. During the time he is putting things into the pumpkin, he will maintain the magical energy consumption of turning the pumpkin into a pumpkin carriage. Although the consumption is not very large, it will not be able to withstand it for a long time.

"That's still amazing," Philo said, shaking her head in praise.

Isaac smiled and didn't continue on that topic. Instead, he and Philo continued discussing totem crafting as they walked toward her mage tower. He noticed that Philo seemed to genuinely enjoy discussing this subject.

That's understandable, though, since the divine species involves the realm of gods. Even though it's only a tiny part of it, it's enough to drive most wizards crazy!

Especially wizards who are skilled in alchemy!

In the realm of alchemy, there is one ultimate achievement: the creation of a god!

So it's normal for her to be curious about this.

Unfortunately, even though Isaac had completely taught Philo the God Network modification surgery, she still couldn't master it.

The reason is simple: this surgery is extremely dependent on Isaac's cheat codes. Without the ability to infinitely accumulate spells and ritual effects, it is impossible to complete. Even though Isaac has optimized it a lot, the success rate is still extremely low without using cheat codes. It is roughly estimated to be only one in a thousand.

In fact, there are many similar techniques in Isaac's current research system. While his "golden touch" can make some of his research very smooth, these techniques also lose their communicative nature after the addition of a huge number of variables.

Despite his efforts to simplify, many technologies still fall into this category, such as the awakening of the dragon bloodline in the dragon lizard, and this divine network modification technology...

This simplification, though cumbersome and not particularly significant for his research, was necessary.

Firstly, it can help him further organize his knowledge, which can also be considered a review process. Secondly, he always needs to communicate with others. It is not advisable to work in isolation. If knowledge does not circulate, it will not be of much meaning.

For example, if Isaac's god network modification surgery had a higher success rate, he could have used it to exchange more knowledge with Philo, instead of simply using it to repay the "favor" of the Outer God ritual as it is now.

Philo's mage tower wasn't far from the Royal Mage Tower, just across the street. While wizards weren't as physically strong as knights, their magical abilities were still quite good. After walking and chatting for a while, the two quickly arrived at Philo's mage tower.

Her mage tower was not tall, only five stories high, and could not compare with the other two towering mage towers.

Firstly, since she was only a formal wizard, there was no need to build the mage tower too high. Secondly, this was the imperial capital, right under the emperor's nose, the safest place in the entire empire, so there was no need for too many defensive measures, and naturally, the scale was not large.

Moreover, in terms of defensive capabilities, Philo's Mage Tower is not much different from the other two Mage Towers. However, the Tower of Truth and the Royal Mage Tower also have reception services and rental laboratories, so they are larger in scale.

But its overall performance is actually the same as hers; both are stripped-down versions of the mage tower.

The reason is simple: this is the capital, the safest place in the entire empire. If you set the defense level so high, who are you going to defend against?

Therefore, even living under the emperor's nose is not so easy.

When Isaac and Philo arrived at the mage tower, Isaac found that his former second brother Remington and his fiancée were already waiting at the door.

Isaac looked at Philo with a puzzled expression. Philo smiled mischievously and said, "The more people, the more successful you are. It's my secret trick, don't tell anyone!"

Isaac leaned back slightly, his face expressionless, but his mental defenses rose another level!

"Second Brother, it's been a long time."

"It hasn't been long, only three days," Remington said helplessly, showing no sign of anything amiss.

Isaac smiled slightly and said nothing. His second brother was still the same as always. No matter how dirty he did, he always remained calm and acted as if nothing had happened. He really had a thick skin.

It's a pity he wasn't very bright; otherwise, he would have been a great candidate for politics.

"Since it's only a few days, let's skip the pleasantries and go inside." Filo waved her hand and led the three into the mage tower, then all the way to the rooftop.

As soon as Isaac stepped onto the rooftop, his heart skipped a beat, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

"Rip!!"

"Click click!!"

At the same time, the rat and Hamon reacted, and two ferocious and terrifying giant claws appeared on the left and right. The pale bone claw and the purplish-black demonic claw quickly crossed, protecting Isaac in their palms!

"boom!"

Just as he was preparing to defend himself, a terrifying spiritual pressure suddenly slammed into Isaac!

Looking in the direction from which the spiritual pressure was coming, Isaac saw the back of a girl!

The girl wore a white dress, her beautiful black hair cascading down her back. She seemed to have some problem with her legs, sitting quietly in a wheelchair. A single glance from her evoked a feeling of pity in one's heart…

however!

This is just a superficial phenomenon, a normal person's perspective!

From Isaac's perspective, above the girl floated a malevolent spirit shrouded in dark energy!

The evil spirit hovered above the girl, protecting her with a ferocious claw even larger than Harmon's, while its other claw was aimed at Isaac, seemingly ready to attack at any moment!

That immense spiritual pressure was emitted by the evil spirit!
