The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

After flipping through the notebook in his hand for a while, Isaac closed it, having a general idea of ​​what the future held.

Next, Isaac put the notebook down and walked to a corner of the laboratory where the materials that had just been delivered were piled up.

Of course, it wasn't the stuff he bought, but rather the supplies his father had just approved for him.

Most of them are various kinds of monsters, and a small portion are monster body parts, including the refined essence of demonized flesh and blood.

The selection was very comprehensive; clearly, it was delivered after the eldest sister gave her instructions.

"Tear~"

The sound of flesh tearing suddenly rang out. The demonic claw Hamon emerged from the back of Isaac's neck, relaxed its five fingers for a moment, and then its palm suddenly split open, revealing a deep purple tongue that licked around the area.

"Heh~ Eat up." Isaac shook his head and gave the order casually.

"Sigh~"

Harmon let out an excited roar, then pounced on the monsters. There were five kinds of monsters delivered, and it picked one of each and ate it.

For a moment, only the screams and chewing sounds of the monsters filled the laboratory, making it exceptionally eerie and terrifying!

"Hi~hoo~"

After Hamon finished eating, Isaac staggered back to his desk and sat down, shaking his head vigorously to try to clear his head. Then he leaned over the desk and copied down all the body structures of the monsters that Hamon had just swallowed.

As the saying goes, a bad pen is worse than a good memory. Even though his memory was enhanced again after becoming a wizard, and even though his cheat ability could record information, Isaac still preferred to record knowledge on paper.

Firstly, this is an opportunity to organize what I've learned; secondly, if I happen to encounter something like the Mad Witches' Exchange Meeting again, I'll have something to trade, right?

You can't just copy it from scratch, can you?

That's so low-class!

There are five types of monsters delivered: the most common Tier 1 monster in the wilderness, the Gale Wolf; the most difficult Tier 1 monster to kill, the Horned Rabbit; the easiest Tier 1 monster to raise, the Meat Slime; the most common Tier 1 monster, the Wild Spirit Deer; and the rarest non-Tier 1 monster, the Blood Mosquito.

Isaac was very interested in all five of these monsters. The Gale Wolf and the Horned Rabbit were his main research subjects. One was a common mount and pet of the Black Orcs, with the highest conversion rate in the Flesh Nest. The other had extremely strong regenerative abilities and even possessed an almost heaven-defying splitting ability!

The horned rabbit itself is of average combat strength, but its innate magic allows it to split into individuals of the same size after death, thus avoiding death. According to the monster data that Isaac saw, a horned rabbit can split up to three times!

That is, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight. In this process, as long as any one of the individuals escapes, the rest will instantly turn into blood.

In other words, if you want to kill a horned rabbit, unless you completely destroy the evidence, like Hamon did by swallowing it whole, you would have to kill it at least 15 times to kill it!

However, compared to its incredible talent and magic, the Horned Rabbit is far inferior in other aspects. Its individual stats are extremely low. Although it is a noble first-tier monster, in terms of physical attributes, it may not even be as strong as a non-tiered demonized wild boar, after all, the size difference is obvious.

Isaac was well aware of this. After Hamon swallowed it, its body structure was fully revealed to Isaac, and he also roughly understood the magical principles of the Horned Rabbit.

This kind of splitting is not without cost. Each split will take the memory and soul in half, and the part lost in each split is permanent!

In other words, after eight repetitions, it only retains a tiny bit of instinct...

Furthermore, this spell can only be activated three times in a lifetime; after that, it will be impossible to divide it further.

A spell with both very obvious advantages and disadvantages.

No wonder no wizard has been able to replicate such an incredibly powerful spell. Both the soul and memories are extremely precious to wizards, especially memories!

That knowledge was all painstakingly researched!

They would rather lose their lives than lose their knowledge!

Of course, Isaac was more inclined to think it was useless.

When faced with a powerful enemy, death is inevitable. The reason why horned rabbits are considered difficult to kill is simply because they mostly encounter monsters in the wilderness. If they encounter humans, it's just a matter of getting a few more hits, so there's not much difference.

However, Isaac saw immense potential for warfare in the horned rabbit!

On the battlefield, one horned rabbit is equivalent to 15...

What if there are a hundred or a thousand?

Once his innate magic is unleashed at full power, the scene... wow!

486 means awesome!

Faced with sheer numbers, individual strength is insignificant!

Well, only for those below the higher level~

As for the latter three types, the Flesh Slime is just there to fill the gap. Its combat ability is actually quite considerable, with an incredibly powerful ability to devour. However, the Flesh Slime is a typical high-attack, low-defense, fragile creature. It dies with just one hit, unlike other types of slimes that require hitting the core to kill them in one strike.

The most outrageous thing is that the meat slime's attack method is to devour...

The academic community remains very curious about why the flesh slime monster has not been extinct.

Legend has it that the Wild Spirit Deer possesses the potential to become a divine species, the Wild Spirit, which was probably given to it by Cheryl. Unfortunately, this is a rumor, and Isaac did not see anything related to the divine system in the Wild Spirit Deer's body.

Blood mosquitoes are extremely rare insect-type monsters, and their combat power is considerable when their numbers increase.

Overall, despite differing opinions on the five types of monsters, Isaac believes that even the slime, which has the lowest academic rating, possesses considerable value in warfare!

Because the monsters bred in the Flesh Nest don't need to worry about the most important issue of rejection; as long as they can maintain their optimal combat strength for an hour, that's enough.

To be even stricter, half an hour is fine!

Therefore, we can be a little more flexible in terms of bioengineering.

However, the renovation will have to be carried out tomorrow...

After writing the last word, Isaac yawned widely, stretched, got up, took a few steps, and then collapsed onto the bed in the lab, falling into a deep sleep...

"Tear~"

Harmon quietly emerged from behind Isaac's neck, carefully moved his lower body onto the bed, gently covered him with the blanket, and hissed softly at the mouse at the head of the bed.

Then, the mouse and its claws quietly ran to a corner of the laboratory. Harmon spat out a luminous pearl from his palm, and the faint light illuminated the mouse and the enlightenment books in front of it.

"hiss~"

Hamon turned to the first page and quietly explained it to the mouse. The mouse listened attentively, nodding occasionally, looking thoughtful.

"hiss~"

Harmon tapped the first page with one paw, asking the mouse if it had understood.

"Squeak?" The mouse looked up, completely bewildered, its clear little eyes giving Harmon the creeps...

Chapter 36 Heartwarming Daily Interactions

"Ugh!!!"

The next day, Isaac roared and writhed on the bed, then slowly got up and yawned widely.

"Squeak~"

"Good morning."

Although he didn't know what the mouse was saying, Isaac still subconsciously replied. Just as he was about to walk to his desk as usual, he suddenly slapped his forehead, cast a spell to clean up, and then walked out of the laboratory.

My father is back, so I can't follow my old habit of starting my research as soon as I wake up; I need to have breakfast first.

Furthermore, it must be done in strict accordance with aristocratic etiquette...

Thinking about this, Isaac couldn't help but sigh. Coming home was just not a good thing...

And you can't not go...

Gaia is a high-ranking knight. If he were to capture a rookie who had just become a wizard, it would be a piece of cake.

So rather than waiting for your father to take action, it's better to be sensible and do it yourself.

"Squeak?" The bewildered mouse was picked up by Harmon and placed on Isaac's shoulder.

"Let's go eat."

As always, the mouse remained bewildered and offered no response.

Hamon sighed, seeing his dazed expression. It was all for nothing... a whole night of studying for nothing!

Although I've always been learning from the first page...

……

Amidst the guards' astonished gazes, Isaac arrived in a pumpkin carriage at a small castle behind the fortress. This was Isaac's and his companions' residence, where he also had a room.

In previous years, he would be brought here to live during the autumn and winter seasons, but he had never been allowed to leave the castle before.

Although he has separated from the family and moved out, that room is still reserved for him and has not been removed. After all, he is a top viscount and his family is about to become an earl, so it's not like they don't even have a room.

However, Isaac did not stay in this room this time, not because he minded anything, but mainly because running back and forth between the castle and the mage tower every day was too troublesome and a waste of his research time.

Upon arriving at the castle, Isaac slowed his pace and timed his arrival perfectly. By the time he reached the restaurant, everyone had just taken their seats, and he was the last one.

Same as before.

Sitting down at the table, Isaac looked at the breakfast in front of him and raised an eyebrow slightly. Compared to his own meager breakfast, the breakfast here was much more lavish—a pile of roast meat and delicate pastries!

The delicate pastries were for him and his eldest sister, while the roast meat was for his father, eldest brother, and second brother. They were knights with strong digestive abilities, so it was fine for them to eat a little oily food for breakfast. Moreover, they had a very high energy requirement, and unlike wizards, they did not have a high utilization rate of magic, so most of the energy their bodies needed came from food.

Therefore, the biggest expense in raising a knight is not the knight's secret medicine for training, as you don't need that if you're not aiming for improvement. The biggest expense for a knight is food!

Not only is the demand huge, but the quality requirements are also high. Ordinary food simply cannot meet the demand; it must be the specially prepared high-energy monster flesh and blood.

Not taking medicine only results in little or no progress, but not eating enough can lead to a decline in strength at best, and even starvation at worst!

Noble wizards are different. Their physical condition is only average compared to knights, and they can extract nutrients from magic, so they only need to maintain their daily diet, or even not eat at all.

Therefore, Isaac and his older sister's breakfast consisted of only light and delicate pastries.

It's really exquisite, with little animal patterns on it.

The mouse's beady eyes widened as it watched Isaac devour the small cake with its own image on it!

ate!

They actually ate it like that!

Without the slightest hesitation!

"His ha~~~"

Seeing the shocked and trembling mouse on Isaac's shoulder, Harmon popped out from behind Isaac's head, pointed a finger at the mouse, his palm cracked open, and let out a hoarse laugh.

Isaac smiled slightly, tapped the mouse's head with his finger, and then handed it a piece of cheese with a mouse head pattern on it.

The mouse hugged the cheese, looked at its own picture on it, opened its mouth several times, and finally gritted its teeth, but couldn't resist the tempting taste. It closed its eyes and took a bite!
