This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 20 Witch’s Tea Party (4000 words)
Breakfast was still the same old three things, bread, milk and eggs. There was nothing else he wanted to eat, so after quickly finishing breakfast, Isaac did not rush to study magic. Instead, he took the thousand gold coins given by his eldest brother and went to the town in the lake again.

The magic research can be put aside for later. Now that we have money, we can complete the promotion ceremony first.

Legend has it that after each wizard holds a promotion ceremony, there will be a period of active magic power, and the promotion ceremony can only be held again after the active period ends.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, as long as there are enough resources, there will be no bottleneck for legendary wizards!
The only things that limit legendary wizards are the active period of mana and the resources for promotion.

The active period of mana can be shortened through magical research, experiments and combat.

So although using a special promotion ceremony to get special effects, or even new talents and spells, that kind of ceremony is quite precious. He had already looked for it before, and it was not for sale in the town. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Conventional promotion ceremonies are generally divided into three categories: elements, starry sky, and mysterious.

Different promotion rituals have bonus effects on different spells. For example, the Fire Element Promotion Ritual will draw in the power of the Fire Elemental Lord from the elemental plane. After the promotion, the fire spell will receive a slight bonus.

Even though a single bonus may not seem high, you should know that there are three promotion ceremonies for the formal wizard level alone. If you choose the same type of promotion ceremony for all of them, the final bonus will not be low.

Among the three rituals, the elemental type is more inclined towards output, because most elemental spells are attack spells. The starry sky type is more versatile, because it increases the basic values ​​related to magic power limit, magic power recovery speed, mental power, etc. There is nothing much to say about these two.

The more profound one is the mysterious category. This category is more like other categories than mysterious. There are various strengthening directions, but the most mainstream ones are prophecies and spells, so they are all classified as mysterious.

It is worth mentioning that although the three rituals have different tendencies, their essence is actually similar. They all use rituals to borrow the power of higher-level beings to sublimate the life essence of the wizard, thereby completing the promotion.

The biggest difference between this and the demon ritual that Isaac just finished is safety!
All promotion ceremonies that fall into these three categories communicate with lawful good beings. They will grant power strictly according to the requirements of the ceremony and will never take more, which is completely different from the greedy demons.

Of course, there is gain and loss. They will not take more, and they will definitely not give more. They will not even leave you the chance to snatch.

Fortunately, Isaac didn't have any special thoughts about this. There were so many evil Outer Gods, so this wouldn't matter.

Isaac had already decided in his mind what ceremony to use for his promotion, so when he arrived in the town, he went directly to the shop selling magical knowledge. After spending eight hundred gold coins and signing a confidentiality agreement, he successfully obtained the knowledge and materials required for the promotion ceremony, the Witch's Tea Party.

However, Isaac did not rush back, but continued shopping.

After all, the Witch Tea Party is one of the few starry sky and mysterious dual-attribute rituals, and its success rate is relatively low, with a success probability of only 10%, so he has to purchase some. Although this ritual is relatively safe, it is better to increase the success rate to 200%, to be on the safe side.

……

After returning from the lake town, Eska said something to Smith, then returned to the basement again and began to prepare for the promotion ceremony and witch tea party in full swing.

As a small-stage promotion ceremony, the materials for the Witch Tea Party are not difficult to collect and can be purchased in the town in the lake.

A set of black tea sets that have accumulated a hundred years of history, fifty milliliters of witch's saliva, one kilogram of refined black tea, 190 pieces of witch's underwear and a bottle of magic ink.

The materials are rather strange, but they are still normal in a magic ritual. Although the one hundred and ninety pieces of witch underwear look rather abstract, these were added by Isaac himself. The original ritual actually only requires one piece.

Fortunately, the magic material store in the lake town is a well-established and well-known brand, otherwise it would be impossible to get so many witch underwear in such a short time...

Although the process was rather embarrassing, fortunately everything went smoothly. All the materials were collected and the arrangement was not difficult. With a 200% success rate, wouldn't that be a matter of minutes?

Two hours later, Isaac completed the arrangement of the ceremony. Normally, one hour would have been enough, but the cost was too high. The eight hundred gold coins used to purchase the ritual knowledge and basic materials plus the more than two hundred gold coins used to purchase the witch's clothes totaled more than a thousand gold coins!
He has invested all his fortune in this, so he can't be careless at all!

"Hi~hoo~"

After taking a deep breath, Isaac's slightly excited heart completely calmed down. He took off the wizard hat on his head, put it on his chest, then lowered his head to recite the spell, and a faint magic power surged at a special frequency.

Magical power swept through the magic circle, and wisps of white mist floated out of the magic circle~
The magic power swept through a pile of witches' underwear, and a huge amount of white mist erupted from it!
The entire basement was instantly enveloped!
"Young man, you are... a little... rude~"

Hearing the charming voice coming from the mist, Isaac slowly opened his eyes, put on the wizard hat on his head, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. There is no mistake, it works!

This sound is obviously a very ominous sound!
Although the content is somewhat different from the ceremony, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

With a hint of doubt, Isaac casually adjusted his wizard robe and took a confident step towards the thick white fog in front of him.

Following the direction from which the fierce sound came, Isaac walked calmly in the white fog. After a while, the white fog dissipated and he came to a green meadow.

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

On the other side of the table sat a witch wearing a purple robe and a large witch hat covering her face, leaving only her fair chin exposed...

It should have been like this, but...

"hiss!!!"

Looking at the shadowy witch not far away, Isaac took a breath!
How come there are so many?

There are at least a hundred of them, right?

"...Well, it seems that you don't know what you did either." The only witch sitting on the stool looked at Isaac's confused look, sighed softly, and spoke in a halting tone.

"Ahem~ Sorry... I thought this would increase the success rate~" Looking at the more than one hundred witches, Isaac's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't expect this to happen after using the golden finger...

In this regard, he could only bow to express his apology. After all, according to the ceremony, the witch tea party summoned more than one witch power.

Of course, no matter how sorry he is, if he were given another chance to choose, he would still choose to use the cheating finger!
after all……

I really have no money...

"You are a genius for finding this method. Come on." The witch waved her hand gently, motioning Isaac to come forward.

After hanging the wizard hat back on the back of the chair, Isaac sat down slowly, looking timidly at the more than one hundred witches behind the "big" witch. He wouldn't be the first official wizard to die in the first-level promotion ceremony, right?

"Don't worry. Although you are a legendary wizard, you are also our descendant. They are just a little dissatisfied. You will just be unlucky in the next two days. You won't get hurt. Just be careful. The "Great" witch saw Isaac's worry and comforted him in a slow tone.

In fact, this was also the result caused by Isaac himself. Normally, no matter how dissatisfied they were with the wizard who conducted the ceremony, once it came to this stage, they could only bless him and could not do anything else, let alone curse him.

But because of Isaac's...despicable means, more than a hundred witches were attracted at once!
However, the blessing was restricted by the ritual and could not be given in larger amounts. It was all in fixed quantities, so the power of other witches was saved. Although the power that each person could use was very small, when gathered together, it was very considerable.

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

Hearing this, Isaac's mouth twitched slightly. Although he didn't have a deep understanding of the ritual and couldn't see through everything in such a short time like the witch on the other side, he could vaguely feel that the formation of this curse was probably related to his own tricks...

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

There's nothing we can do. These are all big guys and we can't afford to offend them.

The "big" witch gently tapped her fair chin, raised her jade-like hand, elegantly poured a cup of black tea for Isaac, and then placed it in front of him.

"Please use~"

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

The moment he drank it, a mysterious magical power began to entangle Isaac. The witch opposite him smiled slightly, and he and the more than one hundred witches with evil smiles behind him turned into white mist.

After a while, all the white mist dissipated, and Isaac stood motionless in front of the magic circle with his eyes closed.

After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, feeling the magic power in his body increase by one third, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. When he saw the witch's saliva that was not missing at all in the ceremony, his smile bloomed completely!
Although he had already looked up the Witch Tea Party before purchasing it, he understood that the witch saliva in the ingredients only needed to be used for the magic power contained in it and did not need to be actually drunk.

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

After all, whether in the past life or in the present world, there are related legends circulating.

So when he saw that the witch's saliva had not decreased at all, he was completely relieved.

This ceremony was extremely successful. As a dual-attribute ritual of starry sky and mystery, the bonuses brought to him by the witch's tea party were also very good. His magic power and mental strength received an additional slight increase, and his own mysterious attribute was slightly improved.

The actual improvement in combat power is not significant, but all objectives have been achieved.

And don’t underestimate the improvement of the latter mysterious attribute. Although it is a slight improvement, for Isaac it is a breakthrough of zero!

With the mysterious attributes, he can then make some high-level modifications to his body, such as...

Magic Eye!

Legendary wizards are different from truth wizards who meditate and study the truth step by step.

Legend has it that the essence of a wizard's advancement is evolution!

The evolution from mortal to magical life!
Therefore, in the formal wizard stage, the main task of the legendary wizard is to accumulate magic power and corresponding attributes. As for the demon trading ceremony and legend collection, these are just side quests. It would be best if you can complete them perfectly, but you can do them casually as long as it does not affect your promotion.

The one who truly decides destiny and potential is the great wizard above the formal wizard!

Compared with formal wizards, great wizards have far more magical power and knowledge than formal wizards, so they can start to transform the magical power of their bodies.

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

Among the many magical transformations, the most difficult and most potential one is the mysterious side transformation!
Therefore, it is quite important to have mysterious attributes.

Although it doesn't help now...

After slowly experiencing the new power, Isaac stretched, turned and walked out of the basement, then asked the cook to prepare some food. After eating, he fell into a deep sleep.

Go to sleep first and continue studying witchcraft tomorrow!
He was so curious about the witchcraft manuscripts and magic books sent by his elder brother and sister...

……

The next day, Isaac sat at the desk in the laboratory and rubbed his hands.

It is--

Unboxing time!
The first thing Isaac opened was his eldest sister's magic book - "Introduction to Arcane Energy, Volume 1".

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

The eldest sister is a pure arcanist with great talent. She is only in her thirties, but she is already a great wizard. It is said that she is already researching advanced arcane arts. Once the research is successful, she will be promoted to a high-level wizard known as a demigod!

Therefore, her gifts are the least surprising and will definitely be what he needs.

Due to physical reasons, although Isaac showed great interest in it, his family would not let him become too obsessed with it because he did not have the talent to become an arcanist.

If you are already in poor health and then use your brain frequently, it will be even worse.

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

"Introduction to Arcane Energy·Volume 1" is just like the mysterious attribute. It does not bring him a very obvious improvement now, but it can lay a solid foundation for him, allowing him to go further and more steadily in the future!
Putting the magic book aside, he looked at the witchcraft manuscript sent by his elder brother, rubbed his hands excitedly and breathed a sigh of relief. This was truly worth looking forward to!
Because big brother Caesar is a knight barbarian and not a noble spellcaster, the witchcraft manuscripts he sent were mostly spoils of war, which were full of surprises!

Slowly turning to the first page of the witchcraft manuscript, Isaac's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock!

All I saw on the first page was - Manual of Divine Research: Anatomy!
