This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 157 Forced awakening!

When they arrived at the palace hall, Isaac and others successfully met King Itra because of Philo's identity.

This king was pretty much what Isaac had thought before. Although there were uprisings in the country every year and the situation in the whole country seemed extremely turbulent, his face was beaming with joy.

Isaac guessed that either he had collected enough money and the death of his subordinates had nothing to do with him, or all of this was pretended for a more far-reaching plan!
As for Isaac personally, he was more inclined to the latter, because although this king was not the patron saint of the Kingdom of Itra, the miracle knight of the fourth level, he was also a high-level knight of the third level.

A great knight may be created by piling up resources, but a high-level knight must have a certain amount of talent, plus sufficient hard training. None of those who can become a high-level knight are easy to deal with!

Perhaps, their plan won't go so smoothly...

The king happily gave them four tokens, three of which were for the crazy trio, which were also the tokens in their plan, and the extra one was given to Isaac's second brother Remington.

Faced with this change, Philo seemed surprised as well. He turned his head to look at Remington, wondering what he was thinking.

I don't know if it was a show for Isaac, but it didn't matter. After getting the token representing the quota, Philo chatted with the king for a while, and the group left the palace with the king's farewell.

After the figures of several people were out of the king's sight, he turned around and walked back into the palace.

However, as soon as he stepped into the palace, his brows slightly frowned, and he saw an old man wearing golden armor and with white hair and beard sitting on his throne.

The anger in the king's eyes flashed, and then he stepped forward respectfully and bowed: "Ancestor, you are here."

Yes, the person in front of him is the patron saint of the Itra Kingdom, Finn Normanster Itra, an old guy who has lived for hundreds of years and a fourth-level miracle knight!

So faced with this act of usurping his throne, the king dared not speak out, let alone get angry!
At least it can't be shown on the face.

Of course, it would not work to not show any anger at all, as that would be too fake and not like a high-ranking knight, so a hint of anger must be shown just right.

Sure enough, looking at the flash of anger in the king's eyes, Finn was extremely satisfied. He didn't care about the king's thoughts because he was just a high-level knight, only at the third level, and posed no threat to him at all.

Besides, in this world, fighting is of little use. To survive, you need power and background. The reason why Itla's situation has lasted for so many years is not because of his strength of the fourth level, but because those forces have a sense of shame and they would not do such a thing as a blood sacrifice in their own territory.

Even if the blood sacrifice was just some soulless and mindless artificial humans.

In front of those forces, his fourth level is nothing!

He used to be just like the king now, extremely dissatisfied with the current situation of the Ithra Kingdom, and desperately wanted to seize every opportunity to climb up!

But he has changed his mind now. Resist?

That's so tiring.

Anyway, he is no longer on the path of faith, and has no demand for the land area and the number of subjects. Instead of holding on to unrealistic fantasies, it is better to lie down, do business with major forces, and use these massive resources to improve himself.

So even though he knew that the dilemma of the Ithra Kingdom was that it had no strength but possessed many treasures, he still continued to collect treasures over the years, and they were treasures that were the kind of treasures that had sustainable production resources.

Then all of them will be used in this huge feast once a year!

But he was not a fool. The plan went smoothly in the early stages, but as Itra acquired more and more treasures, the cooperating forces gradually began to develop some inappropriate ideas.

After all, just because Ithra couldn't keep these treasures doesn't mean they can't keep them...

Take this banquet for example, just from what he knew, there were three groups of people who wanted to do the business of destroying the whole family!
One of them is the eldest princess of the Terra Empire!
I just don't know if it was the Empire's idea or the Princess's own idea. If it was the former...

That's not good~
"What do you think?"

"It's like... acting. Filo's performance is okay, but the construct's acting is too fake." The king said with a frown.

This time, he was not acting, but really frowning, because it meant that it was the Terra Empire that was targeting them this time! It was not just the personal behavior of the eldest princess Filo as the prince said!

"Then what if this was something the princess showed us on purpose?"

The king was silent. This was also what he was worried about. He was not as strong as others. This was the case.

"Okay, you continue to deal with your things." Looking at the silent king, Finn shook his head, stood up from the throne, and left the palace in a flash.

The king was silent for a moment, then slowly sat down on the warm chair, his eyes drooping. After a moment, he rang the small golden bell at hand and asked someone to bring the documents to handle state affairs.

These things are boring, because even if he does nothing and cares about nothing, the rule of Ithra will not be affected and the country will not perish.

But he was happy to do these things, because only at this time did he feel like a king!

The real king!
……

On the other side, Isaac and his entourage walked out of the palace and immediately rushed to the barracks stationed outside the city. They had a total of four tokens and four places, which allowed them to lead an army of 40,000 people!
It's a pity that Rona and Smith have a close relationship with Isaac and can only be considered followers. They cannot obtain the token on their own, even if they don't take the shortcut of Philo and obtain it through trials.

Although it stands to reason that an army of 500,000 is definitely stronger than an army of 500,000 to 10,000, excluding the issue of the leader's level. Even if there is no one who can command 500,000 soldiers, an army of 70,000, 80,000, 100,000, etc. is definitely stronger than an army of 10,000.

But unfortunately, this was not a real war. The war in Ithra was essentially a transaction, so selling one million troops to two people and selling them to one million people were completely different concepts.

So they could only get four tokens, actually there were three, but Remington, who was supposed to join the battle as Philo's follower, got one.

"I think we should talk about the specific cooperation now, right?" Isaac looked at the silent Philo and Remington in the pumpkin carriage heading to the military camp, "What's going on with you two?"

"I am joining the war on behalf of Duke Nornes. I am here to protect Princess Filo and hide the actions of the empire." Remington was the first to speak.

"Is that so?" Isaac looked at Philo.

"I don't know." Filo shook his head. "This was not part of our plan. At least I don't know."

Isaac nodded. He thought Philo's acting was so good, but that didn't matter. Isaac extended his hand to the others.

"So, that means we are together. Then hand over the token. It would be more appropriate to let one person lead the 40,000-man army."

"Here." Hearing this, Angel handed the token in her hand to Isaac without hesitation. Anyway, the registration of information had been completed. In addition to the recording function, the only function of this token was to mobilize troops. And the recording function did not need to be in her hands. As long as her army performed meritorious deeds, the merits generated belonged to her. Anyway, she could not lead the troops, so it was okay to hand it over.

Philo, holding the token in his hand, looked at Isaac in confusion: "Can you lead troops?"

"No." Isaac said confidently, "But Smith can. There are only two people here who can lead the troops. You don't want him to lead the troops, do you?"

As he spoke, Isaac glanced at Remington, making no secret of his distrust of him.

Philo glanced at Remington, but didn't see anything different. This was probably the advantage of being a construct. As long as they kept silent and pretended to be good, it would be hard to expose them because their cold helmet and visor showed no expression.

"Okay." Philo handed the token in her hand to Isaac. As Isaac said, she didn't trust Remington either. This man was too closely tied to Duke Nornes!
Kind of stupid, to be honest...

Isaac extended his hand to Remington, saying nothing and just looking at him with a smile. Seeing that he did not move, Philo and Angel's eyes also shifted to him.

Remington sighed and finally handed over the token in his hand.

"Very good." Isaac nodded with satisfaction, and then handed his token to Smith who was driving the carriage outside the carriage.

"What should we do next? Just push forward?" Philo looked at Isaac.

"There's no rush. Let's get the army first. The ceremony you gave is too rough and needs to be modified first." Isaac waved his hand. If it were before, Isaac would definitely summon two thousand big sword ghosts and start the attack.

After all, his target at that time was only the Kaleidoscope Eye, and as long as he won, it would be fine.

But it’s different now. Now it’s not enough to just win, enough people have to die!

More is better!

Only in this way can billions of flesh and blood masters be greatly pleased!
Only when the Demon God is very happy can he better accomplish the goals of the Terra Royal Family, and only when he is very happy can he happily reap the harvest in the void!

"Too rough?" Filo frowned and looked at Isaac suspiciously. "This was designed by the Grand Archmage Mensa, who led the Royal Mage Corps. Are you trying to delay time?"

"What's wrong with the Archmage? Is the Archmage always right? The ritual does not believe in authority, but only in the truth!" After saying that, Isaac looked at Filo curiously, "Don't you understand such a simple truth? Could it be that your previous transaction rituals were also designed by them?"

Philo was speechless and whispered: "Not entirely..."

In fact, to be honest, it was not always like that in the past. In the beginning, she would still do the rituals by herself. However, after someone made some small improvements for her, she studied the rituals less and less by herself, and now she has almost completely given up studying the rituals by herself.

Of course, this is nothing. She has the Emperor's Order anyway, and she has to endure the failure of the ritual. Moreover, even if she studies the ritual, no one can guarantee success.

Of course, that was what she said, but feeling Isaac's surprised look, she was still a little embarrassed.

"So, how long do we have to wait?"

"It won't take too long. Give me two more days and it will be almost done. In fact, Master Mensa's ritual is very complete, but the target of the sacrifice is different, so some details need to be adjusted."

"You want to change the object of sacrifice?" Hearing this, Filo frowned. "Those artificial humans don't have souls, so few Outer Gods would want them. Besides, the old man from the Itla royal family is at the fourth level. Even if he is an Outer God, they can't kill him without sufficient benefits."

"Don't worry. Not all Outer Gods want souls. Billions of Lords of Flesh and Blood only want flesh and blood. These artificial humans are enough to satisfy Him. As for whether they can be killed... Ha~ Are you questioning a demon god?"

Hearing the name of the Lord of Billions of Flesh and Blood, Philo's frown finally relaxed.

Among the Outer Gods, the Evil Gods are the most active. Their thoughts are even more erratic than those of mad witches. As long as it makes them happy, they will participate even if it does not bring any benefit to them.

Therefore, many foreign invasions in history were initiated by evil gods.

Although they have invaded the most times, the evil gods are not the foreign gods who are most likely to interfere with the real world. In addition to their powers, if the evil gods want to interfere with the real world, they will have to pay a high price.

The one who is most likely to interfere is the dimensional demon!
Although they rarely cause trouble, due to the fact that their own dimension is parallel to the real world, they are the most likely to interfere with the real world. This is why there are more secret mages than any other evil god priests.

However, the dimensional demons sleep most of the time, so it is difficult to trade with them.

"The Lord of billions of flesh and blood? Isn't He asleep?" Philo frowned slightly, and she knew that he had just fallen asleep, because she had made transactions with this demon god, twice.

The first transaction was successful, and the second ritual was completed smoothly, but He did not respond.

And the Demon's sleep...

To be honest, it is very common for beings like them to sleep for hundreds of years.

Didn’t Isaac know that He was asleep?

"Yes, but I have been studying how to force Him to wake up recently, and I have made some progress recently. With such a large sacrifice this time, it will definitely work!" Isaac said confidently.

Everyone: "..."

Philo looked at Isaac for a long time without saying anything. After a while, he said with emotion: "You are really a lunatic!"

Forcefully awaken the demon...

She didn't even dare to think about such a terrible thing!

You have to know that being grouchy when waking up is not something that only humans have, demons also have it!

Normally, the demons need to calm down through sleep when they encounter unpleasant things or the dimension is unstable. They are already unhappy, and you are making them angry!
The most important thing is that Philo knew very well that Isaac would never just do a deal, this guy must want to get something from the devil.

Adding more fuel to His already burning anger!

madman……
