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

Chapter 92 Going Home

Isaac had originally intended to accompany her a little further, otherwise he would have felt guilty taking the magic book, since he hadn't really helped Angel much, except for giving her a ride at the end, which was a way of protecting her in the name of his family.

However, based on their conversations over the past two days, Isaac realized that Angel wouldn't have gotten into trouble even without him.

Because there exists a witch kingdom in this world, ruled by witches!

That country adheres to the principle of witch supremacy and has been recruiting witches from abroad; it is an extremely evil country!

After all, few witches are mentally sound; expecting them to be lawful and good is simply wishful thinking!

They are chaos and evil!

This also shows that the Witch Kingdom is extremely powerful!

Because if you're not strong enough, you simply can't withstand their constant antics. Those witches don't just run rampant in the Witch Kingdom; they can also turn the entire population of other countries, especially smaller ones, into pigs if a witch is in a bad mood, and play with them at will.

Even slaughter!

The reason why the Witch Kingdom can exist is entirely because they have three demigods in the light!

This is only what's on the surface; there's simply no way to count how many people can burn their life force to temporarily become demigod witches in private!

So as long as these lunatics don't do anything to destroy the world, other forces don't bother with them.

Behind Angel stands the Witch Kingdom.

And they value her very much!

After all, she was a noble Primal Witch!

Therefore, Isaac didn't escort her for long before she was taken away by the witches of the Witch Kingdom. The next time they met, things might be completely different.

Although Isaac still felt a little guilty, he quickly put it aside.

Since witches are all crazy, it's best to avoid them!

It's best to avoid contact!

After parting ways with Angel, Isaac and his group increased their speed dramatically!

After all, there weren't many people to begin with, just him, Liuli, Smith, and Barton. The others didn't come to the capital with him. And the four of them were all physically fit, so their speed on the road was quite good.

Compared to the month it took to go there, the return trip only took a week, a full quarter shorter.

If Isaac had visited fewer magic markets along the way, they could have gone even faster. However, they weren't in a rush to get home. Gathering materials was also quite important. After all, while the materials in Lake Town were plentiful, they were somewhat overpriced and far less affordable than those in the local area.

"Huh? We didn't go the wrong way, did we?" Back at the castle, Isaac paused for a moment, then turned his head in confusion to look back at the way he came.

No, I didn't go to the wrong place. So what's going on here?

Isaac stared blankly at the heavily guarded castle, now with several additional arrow towers and fortifications, his mind filled with questions.

However, when he saw the section of white tower peeking out from behind the castle, he immediately understood that when his older sister delivered the laboratory to him, she saw how shabby his place was and expanded it for him.

Sure enough, a short while later, a quasi-knight trotted up to Isaac, bowed, and handed him a document.

"Lord Isaac, these are some new buildings that Lady Cheryl has added to the castle: four arrow towers and two bunkers. Each of the two bunkers is equipped with a magic crystal cannon. Lady Cheryl has instructed that the cannonballs be provided by the territory."

Upon hearing this, Isaac paused for a moment. The magic crystal cannon—that's a deadly weapon! Are you sure you want to give it to him?

Isn't this the heart of the territory?

Isaac stood up and examined the castle. After observing it repeatedly, he confirmed that this thing could only fire outwards, not at the castle itself, and it was definitely not meant to defend against him.

"Pfft~ Making a mountain out of a molehill, why not just give me money?" Isaac shook his head helplessly, put the document away, and then walked into the castle.

As for exchanging money...

That's just talk; where would the territory get any money right now?

The landlord's family also ran out of surplus grain. Upon returning to the castle, Isaac sent Smith and Barton to handle some matters. They hadn't been back for a long time, and there were many things to deal with in the territory. One of them was to dismiss the herbalists in the territory.

The profit margin on Silvermoon Grass was too low, and he had other uses for these medicinal fields. Relocating the farmers was troublesome and required Smith's attention. In addition, he also received tax revenue from several nearby towns, which needed supervision.

It seems only Smith can go.

Compared to these two things, other tasks such as inspecting the work of the servants inside the castle were all considered time for relaxation.

It's thanks to Smith that Isaac was there, otherwise he might not have been in the mood to do all this. While Patton didn't have as many things to do as Smith, he still had quite a few, mainly because the number of guards had doubled!

There are now twenty people!

The patrol plan doesn't need to be rearranged; they've already arranged those themselves. What Patton needs to do is use his strength to win over the ten newcomers!

They were all elites belonging only to the Solomon family, and unlike Patton, who had been in the military for decades without any hope of advancement and had to retire, these ten quasi-cavalrymen still had the potential to break through!

He's quite the genius!

Geniuses are proud, and naturally they were somewhat resentful of Barton for breaking through by taking drugs. In their view, if they were given magic potions, they could also break through!

Therefore, in order to better manage the guard team, Barton needs to have a friendly exchange with them first.

Isaac then took Liuli to see the little creatures he had raised, partly to see how they had grown while he was away, and partly to teach Liuli how to handle these chores from now on.

Yes, Isaac has no intention of giving up raising these small creatures. Although the profit is small, it is still there, and once the scale is established, it can be quite considerable. Every little bit helps!

Unfortunately, without his guidance, the growth of both the Demon Rat and the Dragon Lizard was rather mediocre.

The main issue is that the dragon lizard is rather ordinary; it's just that its body has grown longer, but its bloodline hasn't changed much. This is to be expected, since the probability of a dragon lizard's bloodline awakening is inherently very low.

Most people don't raise these things to awaken dragon blood; the materials from the dragon lizards themselves can make some money.

Although I can only earn a little.

But that's reality. If it were so easy to make a fortune, would they even have a chance?

However, the Demon Rats are better than the Dragon Lizards. He had taken good care of them when he was in the fortress, and although he had been away for a month, their numbers were steadily increasing. Now they had reached more than 500, and the original breeding ground was becoming a bit crowded, so he needed to replace it as soon as possible.

In addition, because they are all from inbreeding, their bloodline factors have started to have some problems and need to be adjusted in order to continue to reproduce.

Overall, however, the problem isn't too serious!
