The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Although the content said is somewhat different from the ceremony, there shouldn't be any major problems.

With a slight question in mind, Isaac casually straightened his wizard robes and confidently stepped into the thick white fog before him.

Following the direction from which the ominous sound had come, Isaac calmly walked through the white mist. After a while, the white mist dissipated, and he arrived at a green meadow.

Not far ahead, a large white umbrella was being held up, under which was a pure white table and two pure white chairs. On the table were a teapot and teacups from the ritual materials, filled with steaming hot black tea.

On the other side of the table sat a witch dressed in a purple robe, her face obscured by a large witch's hat, revealing only her fair chin...

That's how it was supposed to be, but...

"hiss!!!"

Seeing the shadowy witch not far away, Isaac gasped!

How come there are so many?

There must be at least a hundred of them, right?

"...Alright, it seems you don't even know what you've done." The only witch sitting on the stool looked at Isaac's bewildered expression and sighed softly, her voice pausing.

"Ahem...sorry...I thought this would increase the success rate." Looking at the hundred-plus witches, Isaac's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected this to happen after using his cheat ability...

He could only bow in apology, since, according to the ritual, the witch's power summoned at the witch's tea party was not just one.

Of course, despite my apologies, if he had to choose again, he would still choose to use the cheat code!

after all……

I'm really out of money...

"To find such a method, you are a genius. Come on," the witch waved her hand gently, gesturing for Isaac to step forward.

Isaac hung his wizard hat back on the chair and slowly sat down, looking timidly at the more than one hundred witches behind the "Great" Witch. Would he become the first official wizard to die in the first-order advancement ceremony?

"Don't worry. Although you are a legendary wizard, you are still our junior. They are just a little dissatisfied. They'll just be unlucky for the next two days, but they won't get hurt. Just be careful."

The "Great" Witch noticed Isaac's worry and reassured him in a slow, gentle tone.

Actually, this was a result of Isaac's own actions. Normally, even if they were dissatisfied with the wizard performing the ritual, once they reached this stage, they could only bless him and could not do anything else, let alone curse him.

But because of Isaac's... despicable methods, he attracted more than a hundred witches at once!

The blessing is limited by the ritual, so it cannot be given in large quantities; the amount is fixed. As a result, the power of the other witches is saved. Although each witch has very little power to use, when they are gathered together, it is quite considerable.

Ultimately, this resulted in a two-day curse of bad luck.

Upon hearing this, Isaac's lips twitched slightly. Although his understanding of rituals wasn't as deep as the witch's, and he couldn't see through everything in such a short time, he could vaguely sense that the formation of this curse was mostly related to his own shady actions...

"Thank you for your magnanimity, seniors..." Isaac apologized again.

There's nothing we can do; these are all big shots, we can't afford to offend them.

The "Great" witch gently touched her fair chin, raised her jade-like hand, elegantly poured Isaac a cup of black tea, and then presented it to him.

"Please~"

"Thank you, senior~" Isaac accepted the teacup with both hands, took a deep breath, and drank the black tea in the cup in one gulp!

The moment he drank it, a mysterious magic began to entwine around Isaac. The witch opposite him smiled slightly, and she and the more than one hundred witches behind her, all with wicked smiles, turned into white mist.

A moment later, all the white mist dissipated, and Isaac stood motionless in front of the magic circle with his eyes closed.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the magic power within him increase by a third. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and when he saw that the witch's saliva on the ritual was still there, his smile blossomed completely!

Although he had researched the Witch's Tea Party before purchasing it, he knew that the witch's saliva in the ingredients was only needed to utilize the magic it contained, and he didn't actually need to drink it.

But when he actually picked up the teacup in that illusion, he couldn't help but think in that direction...

After all, there are related legends circulating in both the past and present worlds.

So when he saw that the witch's saliva hadn't decreased at all, he was finally completely relieved.

The ceremony was a great success. As a dual-attribute ceremony of starry sky and mystery, the Witch's Tea Party provided him with excellent bonuses, with a slight increase in magic power and mental strength, and a minor boost to his own mystery attribute.

The actual improvement in combat power was not significant, but all objectives were achieved.

And don't underestimate the boost to the second mysterious attribute. Although it's a slight boost, it's a breakthrough for Isaac, taking him from zero!

Having acquired mysterious attributes, he was then able to perform some advanced modifications to his body, such as...

Magic Eye!

Legend has it that wizards are different from those who meditate and study the truth in a methodical way.

Legend has it that the path to becoming a wizard is essentially evolution!

The evolution from mortal to magical life!

Therefore, during the formal wizard stage, the main task of a legendary wizard is to accumulate magic power and corresponding attributes. As for the demon god trading ritual and legend collection, these are just side quests. It would be best to complete them perfectly, but doing them casually is also fine, as long as they don't affect the advancement.

The one who truly determines destiny and potential is the Grand Wizard, who is above the formal wizards!

Compared to formal wizards, arch wizards far surpass formal wizards in both magical power and knowledge, thus allowing them to begin modifying their bodies' magical abilities.

Magical transformation is not simply transplanting monster limbs, but rather solidifying magical power into the body, making it a part of oneself, thereby achieving self-transformation.

Among the many magical modifications, the most difficult and with the greatest potential is the mystical modification!

Therefore, whether or not it has mysterious attributes is quite important.

It won't help much right now...

After slowly experiencing the newfound power, Isaac stretched, turned around and walked out of the basement. He then asked the cook to prepare some food, ate it, and fell into a deep sleep.

I'm going to sleep now. I'll continue my research on witchcraft tomorrow!

He was incredibly curious about the witchcraft manuscripts and spellbooks his older brother and sister had sent him…

……

The next day, Isaac sat at his desk in the lab and rubbed his little hands together.

Now it is—

Unboxing time!

The first thing Isaac opened was his eldest sister's spellbook—"An Introduction to Arcane Energy, Volume One".

Hmm... not much of a surprise, pretty much what he expected.

The eldest sister is a pure arcane mage with excellent talent. She is only in her thirties and is already a great wizard. It is said that she is already researching advanced arcane arts. Once she succeeds, she will be promoted to a high wizard known as a demigod!

Therefore, her gift was the least surprising thing; it was definitely something he needed.

Isaac, due to his physical condition, had shown great interest, but because he lacked the talent to become an arcanist, his family never allowed him to become too engrossed in it.

If you're already in poor health, then using your brain too frequently will only make things worse.

But now that he has become a wizard, there is no need for these things to hold him back anymore.

Like the arcane attribute, "An Introduction to Arcane Energy, Volume 1" doesn't offer him a significant boost right now, but it will lay a solid foundation for him, allowing him to go further and more steadily in the future!

He put the spellbook aside, looked at the witchcraft manuscript his older brother had sent, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and breathed out a sigh of relief. This was the real thing worth looking forward to!

Because his elder brother Caesar was a barbarian knight, not a noble spellcaster, the sorcery manuscripts he sent were mostly spoils of war, making them extremely unpredictable!

As he slowly turned to the first page of the witchcraft manuscript, Isaac's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in shock!

The first page reads: "Handbook for the Study of Deities: Anatomy!"

Chapter 21 The Forging of a God!

Handbook for the Study of Deities: Anatomy Edition!

The large characters that caught Isaac's eye stunned him. So imposing? So high-end?

Is the witch's curse just making your luck worse?

Isaac stared at the witchcraft manuscript, unable to calm down for a long time. Slowly, he raised his right hand and gently pinched his cheek...

"hiss!!!"

The pain on his face and the shock in his heart made Isaac gasp. Was this thing real?

Where did you get this, brother?

"Goo~"

Swallowing hard, Isaac carefully flipped through the pages, now extremely curious about the contents!

"Ah, this..." After seeing the contents of the witchcraft manuscript, Isaac blinked, somewhat bewildered. He seemed to be able to understand this thing.

Are gods really that lowly?

With some doubt and disappointment, Isaac continued reading...

A moment later, he put down the sorcery manuscript, his tense mind relaxing, but at the same time, a sense of disappointment also crept into his heart...

Although the title of the witchcraft manuscript sounds very sophisticated, it is actually just so-so. The level of knowledge it involves is still within the scope of a formal wizard, and the gods mentioned in it are not real gods.

To be precise, it should be called a divine species.

The most basic form of a deity.

Of course, they also have other more conventional names, such as totem, spirit, or the soul of something, representing beings whose power comes from faith.

In essence, they are no different from gods.

However, as everyone knows, discussing effects without considering dosage is meaningless. Although the essence of the divine species is the same as that of gods, the difference in their power is like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

This sorcery manuscript has a rather lofty purpose: to study deities by studying deities. The various anatomical data in it are also about deities, mainly involving three deities: a black snake totem with flesh and blood, a bear spirit with only a soul, and a wilderness spirit born in the wild.

In terms of variety, it is fairly complete.

Besides the research materials, there is also a kind of witchcraft created from this knowledge—divine alchemy!

Of course, after getting a general understanding of the witchcraft manuscript, Isaac knew that the name was definitely an exaggeration, and a very large one at that.

Strictly speaking, this should be called totem forging.

Because let alone the high and mighty gods, this witchcraft couldn't even create the other two spirits and the spirit of the wilderness; it was a half-finished product.

Of course, it is also possible that it was perfected in later witchcraft manuscripts.

But at least the one he has is like that.
