A jellyfish-like tentacle monster!
Grass!
Isaac looked gloomy. He was very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do now. The legend had come true, and there was no going back.
Besides, this thing was bound to come sooner or later. If you don't want it now, you'll want it next time. Although readers of the Cinderella story have other desires, none of them are enough to form a wishing star, and therefore cannot become a legend.
That’s it for now, let’s eat first.
Isaac sighed wearily.
Chapter 144 Isaac: I'm not eating beef anymore
“Puff~Puff~”
In the lab, Isaac ate his food half-heartedly, looking at the fairy sprites that were dancing and flying around in the lab with their tentacles. Damn it, how did I attract such a thing?
The more Isaac thought about it, the angrier he became, and then channeled all his anger into his appetite, eating large mouthfuls of food.
Otherwise, what else can be done?
Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to accept it.
Moreover, to be fair, aside from their abstract appearance, fairies and elves are quite powerful. They are proficient in transformation magic, and although they cannot apply it to themselves, it is still quite remarkable. Isaac's transformation magic can only transform a carriage now, and the speed is not very fast.
You should know that one of the key elements of the pumpkin carriage concept is punctuality. What does punctuality mean?
Even if it's the ends of the earth, as long as it's within the allotted time, the pumpkin carriage can get there!
The pumpkin carriage that Isaac conjures up now is only faster than a regular carriage, but that's because his research direction is different. Previously, Isaac used the pumpkin carriage more for storage than for traveling, so he focused on developing the interior space.
The pumpkin carriage created by the fairy spirit is the complete version that embodies the concept of "punctuality"!
Besides the pumpkin carriage, most of the other transformation items also carry special concepts. For example, the transformation princess dress carries the concept of "identity," meaning that when you wear the princess dress, you truly possess the identity of a princess!
Of course, such top-notch changes are currently limited to the three stories of pumpkin carriages, princess dresses, and glass slippers. Other changes are much less impressive; if they can achieve the same effect as the same object, that would already be an extraordinary achievement.
And that's what makes Isaac uncomfortable; it knows to gravitate towards the story in these situations...
Really...
Besides the extremely practical transformation magic, fairies also possess the wish-granting spell, but this spell...
It's hard to explain, it's very abstract!
First of all, wishes can indeed be granted, although the scope of what can be granted is very limited. For example, an ordinary person can be transformed into a knight out of thin air, and skills such as breathing techniques, swordsmanship, horsemanship, and combat skills will also be granted accordingly.
but!
This ability has many limitations. First, it can only be used once a year. Using the wish spell requires consuming energy called wish power, which fairies and elves need to slowly collect from the dreams of all living beings. Granting wishes to people is a shortcut.
Secondly, making a wish comes at a price. You need to complete the tasks assigned by the fairy or follow certain rules. The specific price is beyond the fairy's control; you will only know the price before your wish is granted.
Finally, the ability of wishing cannot be improved; its maximum potential is determined at the birth of each fairy. The effect can only be enhanced by consuming additional wish power, which cannot be naturally replenished and must be collected again.
Overall, although it still has many shortcomings, it is still a very good support.
Especially the Prayer spell; although its potential is not high, if used properly, it can make Isaac's experiments much smoother.
After finishing his meal, Isaac had mostly sorted out his complicated feelings. He beckoned and summoned the fairy elf.
"Chirp~"
A fairy-like creature, resembling a transparent jellyfish, floated in front of Isaac, its tentacles waving up and down, emitting a puzzled cry.
"Your voice... is quite unique~ Do you have your own name?"
“Chirp… My name is Ein Dolanbalse Kyinar Dobanro Qirusescoria En…”
Isaac listened silently to Ain's true name, which was over a hundred characters long, then nodded: "Very good, Ain, can you use the wish spell now? I want to obtain the secret technique that can sense my dimensional world!"
"Chirp?" Ain hesitated for a moment before realizing that "Ain" was calling him. He shook his tentacle and said in his ethereal and melodious voice, "You can use it, but to make this wish come true, you cannot eat beef for the next three months."
"That's easy? Let's get started then, anyway I don't eat beef!" A smile appeared on Isaac's lips. He wasn't the kind of person who hesitated; if he needed to use something, he would.
Although he estimated that he could complete the optimization of the secret technique in another month, he actually had quite a few research projects on his hands, and the extra month would allow him to do a lot of things.
Besides, how do you know that the next thing you need to do will definitely require this wish?
And the cost isn't high; the delivery person will just come and tell him not to give him beef for the next three months, so Isaac agreed very readily.
Ain did just that, waving his slender tentacles and circling around Isaac. A piece of parchment appeared out of thin air and slowly fell down.
Isaac caught it and took a closer look. He found that it was a wonderful technique for sensing. However, although it was wonderful, the technique itself was not difficult. So Isaac learned it after only glancing at it.
"So it's that simple..." Isaac sighed softly, looking at the sensing technique in his hand. He hadn't expected to get stuck at this point...
But then Isaac thought about it again and felt relieved.
It's actually quite normal. Many technologies in this world are not complicated or difficult; what they lack is just a spark of inspiration.
For example, what are the insurmountable difficulties in woodblock printing and movable type printing?
No, but their efficiencies are completely different.
Isaac was overjoyed to have obtained the secret method and immediately led Ein out of the laboratory.
“Come on, Ain, I’ll introduce you to the other companions.”
"唧~"
After briefly introducing Iin to Smith and the others and revising the research schedule for the next period, Isaac returned to the laboratory.
He couldn't wait to try out his secret technique!
The true infinite magic, here I come!
In the laboratory, Isaac's excitement quickly subsided. He stood in the open space of the laboratory, with a target not far in front of him. He quietly closed his eyes, and magic flowed slowly through his body, with sparks of magic flashing around him.
In fact, normal arcane mages need to rely on external objects when they first learn arcane arts, because arcane mages are essentially people without talent, so they need to trade with dimensional demons to obtain power.
However, Isaac's situation is different. He is already a wizard, so he can use his own magic.
As Isaac activated his secret technique, an infinitely large world appeared before him in his perception, filled with a terrifying, towering sea of blood and a silent void.
The moment he saw these images, a feeling called fear began to spread through Isaac's heart, but he was not affected by this unfounded emotion.
Because he is the master of this dimension, he knows very well that this dimension is not infinitely large; the boundless sea of blood is a flesh-and-blood lair he set up, as for the silent void...
That's because he hasn't had time to put anything in it yet...
Seeing his own dimensional world from such a tiny perspective gave Isaac a sense of novelty, but he didn't immerse himself in it too much, after all, he still had important matters to attend to.
After sensing the dimensional world, the next step is to establish a connection with it, that is, to sign a contract, but not with the master of the dimension, but with the dimensional world itself.
It's worth mentioning that this contract actually comes without any cost; it simply serves as a legitimate channel for transmitting power between dimensional worlds.
It's not that those demon gods were benevolent; in earlier years, mages also needed to sign some complex contracts. However, after the emergence of the Demon Ruler school of wizards, these complex contracts disappeared.
Although they are quite confident, who knows when a monster might suddenly appear and create an entire school of demon rulers?
Therefore, the content of the arcane mage's contract has been simplified infinitely, and to this day, it has become a simple channel for power.
The contract process went very smoothly. After all, there are no barriers to becoming a sorcerer, and this contract does not require any permission from any being. The demon god is more than happy for you to use His power, the more the better.
At least that's the case now!
So Isaac completed the contract without much effort, and thus, Isaac's secret cultivation was completely finished!
He slowly opened his eyes, sensing the passage in the darkness and the almost endless magic power on the other side of the passage, and couldn't help but smile.
Now he can begin training his own arcane mage!
Although there's only the simplest arcane spell, Magic Ray, available right now, at least we can get started, can't we?
"Whoo~"
Isaac let out a long breath, stretched out his right hand towards the target not far away, and a blood-red magical glow appeared on the tip of his index finger. In an instant, a blood-red ray shot out from Isaac's fingertip!
"call out!"
"laugh!"
The target was completely pierced by the ray, leaving a transparent hole at the bullseye.
Its power is not bad, not as good as a single arcane missile, but its casting time is much shorter than that of an arcane missile. Moreover, its power is related to the amount of magic power Isaac puts in. As long as there is enough magic power, it will not be a magic ray, but a magic cannon!
However, the efficiency of magic release still needs to be optimized...
and……
Isaac narrowed his eyes as he looked at the crimson flame on his right hand. The magic power of his dimensional world seemed to have a strong corrosive ability, especially for flesh and blood life forms. This seemed to be a power characteristic brought from the billions of flesh and blood lords.
Well, this trait has its pros and cons. The advantage is that attacking arcane magic will inflict additional damage when it comes into contact with flesh and blood creatures, and it will also hasten the death of the arcane mage, allowing them to reclaim their power in a very short time and give it back to the dimensional world.
However, the downside is that arcane mages die very quickly, since Isaac wanted to expand the number of arcane mages and use them to build his intelligence network.
It seems we can only use it for now...
The erosion of dimensional magic on arcane mages is irreversible and uncontrollable; even Isaac, the lord of dimensions, cannot control it.
Fortunately, the dimensional magic originated from the dimensional world, which belonged to Isaac, so he himself would not be corrupted by the dimensional magic, which was consistent with his previous guess.
Therefore, we still need to think of ways to improve our intelligence network.
Although we have now reconciled with the eldest princess and can no longer take advantage of her, there will definitely be a use for her in the future. Legend has it that the path to becoming a wizard is destined to involve causing trouble. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!
After testing the power of the arcane arts, Isaac stretched and yawned. Although he still needed to develop more arcane arts, this step was much simpler. He could make other arcane arts his own by slightly modifying them. In other words, some arcane arts that borrowed special powers from dimensions could not be modified.
Even if it can't be made into one's own, it can still be used as a reference. Isaac doesn't even need to worry about this; once the arcane mages are trained, they will solve this problem themselves.
So now, let's see if higher-level spells can be stacked!
With an expectant expression, Isaac approached the two iron cages. Liuli was standing respectfully to the side, and inside each cage was a dragon lizard that Liuli had just delivered.
"Have you recorded the blood plasma concentration?"
"It's all been recorded; it's less than one in ten thousand."
Isaac nodded, not surprised. If the dragon blood of a monster like a dragon lizard were more concentrated, it wouldn't be sold so cheaply.
"Transform from an ugly duck into a noble swan!" Isaac murmured, pointing to the dragon lizard on his left. A multicolored magical light entered the dragon lizard's body and then disappeared completely, nothing more.
This is normal. For this advanced spell to be effective, it requires a certain amount of training. Although you can develop your bloodline by lying still, it is definitely not as efficient as training.
Then, Isaac did the same thing again, casting a high-level spell on the one on the right. The difference was that he used ten high-level spells in a row!
