This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 209 A Truth Association That Doesn't Look Like a Truth Association

It wasn't until he reached the fork in the road that Isaac realized where this familiar feeling of déjà vu came from.

The overall layout of Nebula City was modeled after Lake Town, with two wide avenues running through the city in a cross shape, dividing the city into four areas.

The difference is that Lake Town is a town that serves wizards exclusively, so its layout is more standardized and professional, with different streets responsible for different types of goods.

Nebula City, on the other hand, is a commercial city that caters to a wider variety of customers, so it doesn't have a very detailed classification system. At least, there isn't one on the four main streets; everything is sold here.

This can create a more prosperous scene.

Of course, if you just want to buy something, you can go to the four main districts, which are divided into areas with plenty of directional signs. There are also guards patrolling the streets at all times. They are all living maps, guiding people who can't understand the signs or are lost.

In reality, this layout is not very popular in this world, at least not on the main roads, because it makes the city look very large, but in fact it creates a lot of ineffective space, does not create much benefit, and increases defensive capabilities.

This is very different from the commercial street of the previous life.

While the productivity of this world, including the power of magic, is no less than that of Isaac's previous technological civilization, and may even be much stronger, the land area here is much larger than in his previous life, and the population is much smaller. Therefore, there are no high-rise buildings like in his previous life, and the population density is not high. As a result, this commercial street model naturally cannot develop.

This model can only be successfully implemented in a commercial megacity like Nebula City. I just don't know how it developed here.

Isaac looked around the bustling city with curiosity, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

However, he didn't delve too deeply into the reasons behind this. In any case, he didn't plan to develop his territory, and the development plan of the wizarding organization didn't conflict with this kind of city. At most, he would build a branch here when the organization grew up.

As for the rest...

Isaac doesn't even need to go here for shopping!

Does this place have all the magical materials that Lake Town has?

It's just a joke.

So even though Isaac was curiously looking at the scenery around him, his steps did not falter at all, and he walked steadily toward the headquarters of the Truth Association.

As a high-ranking wizard, no matter how much Shival Etras concealed his identity, the Truth Society here couldn't possibly be completely unaware of it, right?

If that's the case, then Isaac will have to keep asking around.

Of course, it would be best to ask the sect about such matters, but unfortunately, the sect does not have a presence in Nebula City.

Yes, although Nebula City is the most prosperous commercial city in the empire, the sect has not established a presence there because there is no need for it.

The Cult of Flesh and Blood is an ancient wizarding organization with its own recruitment channels, headquarters, and even a more comprehensive magical materials market (Lake Town) than Nebula City. Therefore, there's no need for them to establish a base here. Generally, aside from the capitals of major empires, only certain special towns are designated as strongholds by cults, and Nebula City is clearly not one of them.

Therefore, if Isaac wants to find Shiva, he can only pin his hopes on the Truth Society.

Soon, Isaac arrived at the Truth Association's headquarters in Nebula City, located on the left side of the middle of North Street. As a branch of the Truth Association in this commercial city, the headquarters here was not filled with the mysterious aura of magic like the headquarters in other areas.

Here, only a mysterious magical aura exists...

Because what comes into view is a magical gem that is dazzling enough to blind people!
Just looking at that door shimmering with seven-colored light, Isaac felt a strong aura of magic wash over him. However, despite the abundance of magic gems, it only amplified the nouveau riche's ostentatious air...

Isaac's lips twitched. He checked the flag hanging on the door several times to make sure this was indeed a branch of the Truth Society before slowly stepping inside...

Stepping through the gate, which reeked of nouveau riche wealth, Isaac was immediately dazzled by the even more extravagant display of wealth. He stopped in his tracks, somewhat speechless. The nouveau riche here were even more extravagant than he had imagined…

This has made him want to do business here.

However, it was just a thought. Doing business is different from doing research; it requires a lot of talent. So Isaac only thought about it briefly before walking to the front desk and asking a round-faced wizard with frameless glasses standing behind the counter, "Hello, I would like to ask you to help me make an appointment with the High Wizard Shival Etras, is that alright?"

The round-faced wizard glanced at the strangely dressed glass figure behind Isaac, her pretty face flushing slightly. However, her professionalism allowed her to quickly regain her composure, and she bowed respectfully to Isaac, saying, "Respected High Wizard, may I ask what business you have with him?"

Upon hearing this, Isaac smiled slightly. It seemed he had come to the right place; otherwise, he would have been directly refused instead of being asked about the purpose of his visit.

This is normal. After all, they don't want to offend Isaac, who is a high wizard, but they also can't afford to offend Shiva, so they can only do this.

Isaac had nothing to hide and took out his research proposal. Of course, only the signature and list of recommendations at the end were revealed; the specific research content, or even the title, were not disclosed. It wasn't for secrecy; Isaac simply didn't want to scare anyone.

Of course, the round-faced little wizard also displayed extremely high composure at this moment. She only looked at the signatures on the application form, the recommended candidates at the back, and the Flesh and Blood Cult wizard insignia in the corner of the application form, which could confirm its authenticity. She didn't look at anything else, and her gaze did not wander at all throughout the entire process.

"Okay, I'll contact them for you. Where are you staying now? We'll let you know once we've contacted Wizard Etras." The round-faced little wizard quickly registered the information and then said with a smile.

“The address hasn’t been decided yet. If you get in touch with him, use this to contact me.” As he spoke, Isaac handed over a piece of parchment with a magic circle drawn on it, a magical scribbling book used for communication.

The advantages are that it is cheap and fast, but the disadvantages are that it has poor confidentiality and can only be used for daily communication.

Yes, although this world can communicate over long distances, even across dimensions and dimensions, through some magic books, those magic books are more like a local area network, where only a fixed group of people can contact each other. Convenient communication methods like mobile phones and the internet in my previous life do not exist in this world.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the poor security of the technology and the lack of widespread adoption. The communication capabilities of the spellbook were already sufficient for wizards, so there was no further development of it.
