The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 95

In terms of legion combat power, it has directly leaped to the top-tier level of the Empire!

In this extraordinary world, as long as combat strength is not an issue, other aspects will be even less of a problem, not to mention that there is a Grand Arcane Master among the high-end combat force, who is also a Grand Arcane Master specializing in alchemy, and whose production capacity is among the best in the empire.

As expected, Solomon is destined to become a high-ranking nobleman in the empire. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to curry favor with him now, we might miss our chance later...

As for the conflict between Princess Philo and Isaac...

How could children's play possibly affect the friendships between adults?

Moreover, since the Terran royal family themselves sent representatives to the banquet, the other nobles had even less reason to object.

Therefore, on the day of the banquet, carriages visiting Solomon's Castle did not stop from morning till night!

Cheryl even set aside a large space to park the carriages; she was practically ready to use a teleportation array to get to the banquet hall!

It was quite a grand affair!

Night, Solomon's Castle.

Amidst the lively banquet, Isaac wandered alone through the banquet hall, his eyes scanning the surroundings. He had just spotted many familiar faces, such as his second brother Remington's fiancée, who had become a widow before marriage, the blonde girl he had met on the island, and the young man from the Norman family...

However, after circling around several times, Isaac still couldn't find Princess Philo, who was of most interest to him...

After circling around for a while, Isaac finally found the Terran royal family. They were chatting and laughing with Gaia, Caesar, and Cheryl, along with his widowed sister-in-law, and seemed to be in a very harmonious relationship.

"Tsk~"

Unfortunately, Isaac didn't see Princess Filo among the group. Clearly, she hadn't attended the banquet, which left Isaac slightly disappointed. He had been thinking of using a spell to locate her…

This is a disaster...

It seems we still have to honestly build our own intelligence network...

It seems that after we return, we can try to have the Holy Lord absorb the power of the Dimensional Demon God...

Chapter 141 The Emperor is Dead!?

With his old flame absent, the banquet instantly lost several levels of appeal for Isaac. After all, he neither managed his territory nor developed his power, so social interactions among nobles were meaningless to him.

Furthermore, he was a mad witch.

So Isaac didn't even go to his older sister's place. He wandered aimlessly around the banquet, occasionally popping a few pieces of pastry into his mouth.

"Hello, why are you alone? Are you having problems with your family?"

Unfortunately, although he was a mad witch who inspired fear in everyone, he was still receiving a lot of attention as a member of the Solomon family. Sure enough, a young girl came up to Isaac with a glass of red wine.

Isaac glanced at the girl's ample chest, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes. Just as he had guessed, the reason it was so flat was because it had been tied up.

The girl who walked up to Isaac and greeted him was none other than the blonde girl Servy, whom he had seen during the island battle. Unlike the light and simple leather armor she wore on the island, Servy was now dressed in an elegant white dress, her chest full and revealing half of her large, white breasts, making her extremely alluring.

However, Isaac only glanced at it before looking away. He glanced in the direction Servie had come from and asked with some confusion, "Didn't Evan come with you?"

Servie's eyes held a complex expression...

She didn't know whether to be happy or angry that Isaac, the mad witch, had no interest in her...

"Evan has returned to the Truth Society. He's going to take some further studies, so our adventure team is currently on holiday."

Isaac suddenly understood. It was a pity; he wanted to thank Evan properly. It would have been even better if they could have discussed the knowledge related to the evil god's ritual in more depth.

Unfortunately, he didn't come.

"You still haven't answered me. Why are you alone? Is it because you don't get along with your family?"

"It's alright, but I'm a mad witch, isn't it normal for me to stay away from them?" Isaac looked at Servie with some surprise. "But you, shouldn't you hate me? Why are you hanging around? If you want to socialize, you should go to my older brother or sister, right?"

"That's true, you are a mad witch, but you're wrong. I don't dislike you. Although you are a mad witch and you might make mistakes in the future, at least you haven't done anything right now, so I have no reason to dislike you... although I'm not interested in befriending you either..."

After saying that, a helpless smile appeared on Servie's face. If it were two years ago, when she had just started her adventures, she would definitely have been very interested in Isaac, mainly because she wanted to bring him back to the right path.

But now...

She didn't understand, but she respected.

"You don't want to befriend me... then why did you come?"

"It's a requirement from my family~" Servie shrugged helplessly. Being a noble isn't all good things.

Sometimes, personal interests must be sacrificed for the benefit of the family; this is unavoidable. If you enjoy the rights brought by the family, you must bear the corresponding obligations.

“I see.” Isaac nodded, and he understood. Although the Mad Witch was infamous, they weren’t after Isaac, but rather Solomon behind him.

"Did they tell you what level of effort they wanted you to go through?" Isaac asked curiously, taking a glass of orange juice from a passing waiter. "For Evan's sake, I can help you if it's convenient."

"Then you probably can't help them. They want a marriage alliance," Servie said with a smile, sounding helpless.

"Huh?" Isaac's orange juice stopped at his lips, and he froze. "A marriage alliance? You?"

"Is it strange? Isn't this how all nobles do it? It's just political marriage."

"That's strange!" Isaac looked at Servie with surprise before saying, "You're the Duke's daughter, while we Solomon are just counts. Although we do have some strength, it's... not that bad, is it?"

“The Duke’s daughter… Ha~ You really don’t understand the nobility.” Servie smiled and said casually, “In your eyes, my status may be very noble, but in reality, it’s just so-so. I’m just the Duke’s daughter. I’m just the 132nd daughter of Duke Has. He probably doesn’t even know my name. Now, do you still think I’m noble?”

One hundred and thirty-two... and she's just a daughter?

Isaac's lips twitched slightly. "Damn, how can they have so many children?"

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Isaac realized that this seemed quite normal.

First, this world is not based on monogamy. As long as you are strong and rich enough, you can have as many wives and husbands as you want. Second, there are extraordinary powers in this world. The strong live a long life, and high-ranking nobles are basically first-class strong people who can live a long time, so it is normal for them to have many children.

After all, there is no rule in this world that makes it difficult for strong people to conceive. Of course, in many cases, there is no difference between the children of strong people and the children of ordinary people.

This rule is a bit unusual, but that's how it is.

Therefore, Servie's situation is not hard to understand. To outsiders, she is indeed very distinguished, after all, she represents the face of the Duke of Haas family, but internally...

That's it.

In reality, families like the Solomon family, with only four children, are extremely rare.

“Then I really can’t help you.” Isaac shook his head. Although Servie was very beautiful, he had no feelings for her, and he could also tell that Servie had no feelings for him either.

Anyway, he doesn't need a political marriage.

“Yes, so, just chatting will do.” Servie smiled slightly, but her thoughts were unreadable.

That being said, the two didn't actually talk much. After a few sentences, they ran out of things to say, and Servie tactfully walked away, since she had already completed her family's mission.

"Does she really not care?" Isaac smiled slightly as he watched Servie's departing figure. To be honest, he didn't quite believe it. After all, the girl was a great knight and couldn't possibly not have the idea of ​​taking control of her own destiny.

but……

This may be difficult.

"What? Interested in her? Want me to put in a good word for you? Given our family's current situation, it shouldn't be difficult." At this moment, Caesar, dressed in a white tuxedo, walked to Isaac's side with his hands behind his back, looked at Servie's back, and said softly.

"It's just a few words, brother, you're overthinking it," Isaac said helplessly, glancing at Caesar beside him.

After spending these days together, his relationship with Caesar had returned to normal. After all, Remington had acted first, and it wasn't the first time, so Caesar's initial displeasure had long since dissipated.

After all, she's already lost one younger brother; she can't lose another one, can she?

"I can't help but think about it. You're almost twenty. When I was your age..."

"How come I remember you got married to your wife when you were twenty-eight?" Isaac interrupted before Caesar could finish speaking.

"But I had my first woman when I was 16, what about you?"

"Wow, that's amazing! I'll tell my sister-in-law later!"

"...You...sigh~ You should hurry up, don't be so demanding."

“It’s not a matter of high or low standards. I’m a mad witch, who would want me? I don’t want to be someone’s tool for a political marriage, and my family doesn’t need that.” After a pause, Isaac continued, “Besides, I’ve already separated from the family. If I were to have another political marriage, wouldn’t that be a waste of time?”

Caesar shook his head helplessly: "Fine, I can't argue with you. Just pay attention yourself. Today, all the nobles with some reputation in the empire have sent people. Take a look for yourself."

"Yes, if I do, I'll tell you, brother. You probably didn't come to me just for this, did you?" After saying that, Isaac glanced in the direction of the Terra royal family, where Caesar had just come from.

"Yes, there is indeed one more thing. The royal family asked me to ask you if your conflict with the eldest princess can be resolved like this. As compensation, they will build you a mage tower. You can choose the design and the construction team. They will only be responsible for providing the money."

After saying that, Caesar glanced at the Terra royal family and continued, "Their sincerity is quite substantial. As long as you agree, they can guarantee that the eldest princess will not have any objections. If you are not at ease, they can even erase the eldest princess's memories of you!"

"!!" Isaac turned to look at Caesar in shock, his face filled with disbelief. "Really? That ruthless?"

Caesar nodded. This was one of the reasons he acted as the middleman. After all, the offer was really too much. In the end, the conflict between Isaac and the eldest princess wasn't that big. It was just that both of them had the kind of vindictive personality, which made the situation keep getting worse.

“This…” Isaac frowned. Just as Caesar had thought, his grudge with Princess Philo was actually nothing special. In the end, it was just a matter of face. As for face, as long as you give enough money, you can give as much as you want.

but……

The Terran royal family has given us so much!

Even if it were only his older sister who was promoted to Grand Archmage, or even if Isaac himself were to be promoted to High Wizard, he would not pose a significant threat to the royal family. It would not be worth the great cost to quell the conflict.

They can even erase the eldest princess's memories...

This is definitely not normal!

After a moment of contemplation, Isaac looked up at Caesar with a serious expression: "This matter is definitely not that simple, is it?"

Caesar sighed and nodded, but did not explain: "That's true, but... I can't tell you..."

Isaac and Caesar exchanged glances, Isaac narrowed his eyes, then he looked in the direction of the Terra royal family and said solemnly, "If you want to resolve this conflict, I don't need to erase the eldest princess's memory, and even compensation from the mage tower is acceptable, but you must tell me the reason!"

The compensation was tempting, but Isaac wasn't interested at all. The fact that the Terran royal family was willing to pay such a huge price meant that if he disagreed, they would have to pay an even greater price!

This price was probably not caused by Isaac himself. He was still somewhat self-aware. His strongest means, even at any cost, was to summon the power of an evil god to cleanse the mess.

This might be very intimidating to other factions, but for the Terran royal family, it's just so-so.

That's why Isaac was so curious about the reason behind it!

Caesar and Isaac stared at each other for a moment, but Caesar ultimately gave in. He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go ask for you. Wait here."

Isaac nodded, watching Caesar turn to talk to the Terran royals. Their conversation was clearly manipulated; despite the short distance, he couldn't hear a sound or even decipher their lip movements. He only knew that they seemed to have a heated argument.

In the end, the Terran royal family agreed. After glancing at Isaac a few times, they sighed and nodded in agreement.

After receiving permission, Caesar returned. Just as Isaac was about to ask a question, a golden light suddenly emerged from Caesar's body and enveloped Isaac.

"Huh? This is... the realm of gods?" A flash of golden light appeared before Isaac's eyes, and he appeared in a void, surrounded by streaks of golden light, emanating terrifying energy fluctuations that sent chills down his spine!

The Divine Realm, the source of power for high-ranking knights, the prototype of a divine kingdom, is also an important factor that allows the knight profession to rival wizards in high-end combat power.
