This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 219 Ifans: Isaac! You're a madman!
Isaac was there to find research partners, not to cause trouble, so he wasn't upset that the guards didn't welcome him in immediately. After all, he could understand this approach; if he lived in such a place, he would be just as cautious.

However, Isaac didn't have to wait long. Soon, a golden light flashed, and Ifans, wearing a wizard's robe adorned with stars, walked out with a smile.

“Isaac Solomon?” Ifans looked at Isaac, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He knew Isaac had become a high wizard in a very short time, but he hadn't expected him to be so young...

Although many wizards use magic to make themselves look younger, some things cannot be changed, such as life force. Isaac's life force is incredibly vigorous, which magic cannot alter.

Or rather, the vast majority of magic could not be hidden from Ifans, who was a high wizard.

only……

Ifans' expectations for Isaac inexplicably diminished. In any world, there is an inevitable tendency to look down on young people.

Of course, as a veteran high wizard and the ruler of the divine monarchy, he would not reveal all his thoughts on his face, so he remained outwardly calm and composed.

Isaac nodded and said with a smile, "Master Ifans, it's good to finally meet you. It's not easy to see you."

Ifans glanced at the slight tear on Isaac's clothes, nodded approvingly, and exclaimed, "Yes, it's quite an achievement."

As the leader of the Holy Royal Authority, Ifans knew very well how troublesome his "old friends" were. Isaac had charged all the way here, and although he mostly ran away, he still arrived here unscathed, which showed that his strength was indeed extraordinary, at least his defensive and escape abilities were excellent.

"Come in and talk. I'm sorry, things are a bit chaotic here, so they're being cautious. I hope you understand." After a brief greeting, Ifans apologized to Isaac first.

“It’s fine, that’s how it should be.” Isaac shrugged indifferently, then followed Ifans into town.

Upon entering the town, Ifans led Isaac to a side hall. As soon as they sat down, Ifans said directly, "I roughly know why you've come, but I think you also know my current situation. Even if I were to participate in your research, I probably wouldn't have much time to dedicate to it."

Faced with the straightforward Ifans, Isaac raised an eyebrow. As expected of a wizard who had slowly climbed up from the bottom, he spoke very directly. However, Isaac did not dislike him; in fact, he quite liked him. Being direct was good; being direct made things easier.

Therefore, Isaac said bluntly, "But you should also know that with your current abilities, no matter how hard you try, you can't save this country, even if you advance to the fourth rank."

Upon hearing this, Ifans fell silent, because what Isaac said was indeed true.

Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife!

In theory, a fourth-tier warrior, whether a knight or a wizard, is capable of quelling the chaos in a kingdom.

But that's just the normal situation.

The situation in Norwegian Manchuria is complex. What appears to be an internal strife within a kingdom is actually a complex web of power struggles, with almost every one of the factions involved having the support of neighboring countries behind it.

Divine monarchy is no exception.

In addition, the long-term chaos has attracted a large number of people from the dark world, including many fourth-level powerhouses. Therefore, fourth-level powerhouses alone may not be enough to quell the chaos in this country, after all, it has been in chaos for hundreds of years and is intertwined with a large number of interests.

Aside from the poorest people in the country, it's safe to say that no one wants the war here to end.

Including the forces behind the sacred monarchy!
It can be said that once the Holy Monarchy demonstrates the power to quell the rebellion in the country, they will instantly abandon the Holy Monarchy and immediately support a new force to continue to contend with the Holy Monarchy, or to completely destroy the Holy Monarchy!
Isaac smiled slightly at the silent Ifans and continued, "So you need to find a different way to make yourself stronger and find more companions to save this country with you."

"You mean...you guys?" Ifans looked at Isaac with a complicated expression. As a high wizard, Ifans was not stupid and naturally understood Isaac's implication.

but……

Honestly, he was tempted.

Because in Isaac's words, the focus is not on his present self, but on his future self!

To be honest, although he did have a slight feeling of contempt when he saw Isaac's excessively young age, that contempt was just a slight doubt about his current strength and past achievements.

They had no doubts about Isaac's talent; on the contrary, they were even more amazed by it.

After all, his rank as a high wizard cannot be faked. As a fellow high wizard, Ifans knows very well how many difficulties it takes to get to this point, even if you took a shortcut!
You must understand that the shortcuts to becoming a wizard, especially a legendary wizard, are not easy to take. A slight misstep can lead to utter ruin!

So if we're betting on Isaac's future, the probability of saving the Norwegian Manchurian Kingdom might be even higher than with his current plan!
So Ifans hesitated for only a moment, then looked at Isaac with a complicated expression and extended his right hand: "Then... let's take a gamble!"

Isaac grinned. Sure enough, he was right. Every legendary wizard was a potential gambler!
Those who dare not gamble are simply those whose potential returns haven't reached their desired threshold.

"You won't be disappointed, believe me. Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that this is my most resounding title. So, I guarantee you, under the title of 'The Usurper of Gods,' that I will help you save this country!"

Ifans' eyes flickered; Isaac's words...

The difference between "help you save this country" and "to save this country together with you" is quite significant.

However, Ifans said nothing, because he understood that a genius like Isaac was extremely arrogant, so he certainly wouldn't share life and death with someone like him. But that didn't matter; Ifans had already put his personal interests aside. As long as the country could be saved, he wouldn't hesitate to give up his own life! Of course, this didn't mean he would easily give up his life. He wasn't that naive. In this world where the strong are respected, one's own strength is everything!
As the strongest of the divine monarchs, once he dies, even if peace appears, it will only be a fleeting moment.

“I’ve always believed that day will come!” Ifans looked into Isaac’s eyes and said earnestly. Then, a flash of magical light appeared in his hand, and a spellbook appeared. He handed it to Isaac and said, “This is something I’m currently researching. I hope it will be of some help to you.”

Looking at the spellbook handed to him, Isaac was somewhat surprised. Was the bet... really that big?
It's a real shame this guy isn't a mad witch!
Isaac nodded, took the spellbook, and slowly opened it, saying, "Thank you for your trust. Don't worry, I will too..."

Before he could finish speaking, Isaac, having just opened the spellbook and seen a portion of its contents, involuntarily leaned back, his expression one of shock. This guy… really isn’t a mad witch?!
To be honest, as a mad wizard who frequently deals with Outer Gods and is even called a madman by other mad wizards, Isaac rarely encounters research that can surprise him. But in just a few days, he encountered two...

One is Shiva, that guy covets the power of the Moon Goddess, something Isaac never even considered, but Shiva might already be making his move...

And then there's Ifans, standing right in front of us, who's even more insane than Sylvain!

Simply because his research focused on analyzing the reasons for the power of deities!

At first glance, it seems like a very serious research topic. There are at least 800 to 1,000 such research projects in the Truth Association every year. Most of them are just a pretext to get funding and points. The few that are really doing research are just repeatedly rewriting previous research projects, going around in circles with the same old story. After all, that's God, the strongest group in the world right now!

But in reality, Evans' research was completely different from that of the proper wizards in the Truth Society!
It's simply because the "dissection" he's talking about is the kind of dissection that involves dissection!
Yes, he is dissecting a deity!
It is a deity, not a species of deities!

Of course, he certainly didn't kill this god. Although high-level wizards are still called demigods in some ancient places and among some tribes, their actual combat power is vastly different from that of demigods today. No matter how many high-level wizards there are, they are no match for a god.

This divine corpse was probably found by Ifans in some ruins of a divine war. Although such a thing is absurd, it is not unheard of. One of the current Gods of War, Isshuar, found a divine corpse in a ruins of a divine war many years ago. It was the corpse of a former God of War.

It was with the help of this corpse that Isshuer, who was just a mortal at the time and not even a high knight, overcame all obstacles and became one of the powerful new war gods, wielding a portion of the power of war!
Of course, there has been much discussion about this god of war in later generations. Because the research on the power of gods was not very clear at that time, almost all methods of inheriting the power of gods were problematic, unless the god was willing to give up everything of himself and become the kindling for your ascension to godhood.

Therefore, many people believe that the current Isshuer is the product of the fusion of the former God of War and the mortal Isshuer.

However, these are just speculations, since Isshuar has already become a god, and a powerful war god at that, so it is impossible to conduct in-depth research.

But that was then. Now, with the opening of the wizarding path, the once mysterious and powerful divine power has been partially unveiled in the hands of wizards. At least inheriting divine power without any side effects is no longer a problem.

So Isaac was shocked and also surprised that Ifans had not chosen to inherit the power of this god, but instead chose to dissect Him and study the power within Him in depth...

Really...

Isaac looked up at Evans, the corners of his mouth gradually turning upwards, his face once again displaying an extremely crazy, even manic, smile. Evans couldn't help but shrink his neck and frown slightly. What kind of madness is this guy going to have?

"You want to use this guy to create a network of divine magic so that the people of the Holy Kingdom... or rather, the Norseman Kingdom, can use powerful divine magic to protect themselves, right?" Isaac asked Ifans with a strange smile.

Ifans paused for a moment. He hadn't expected that Isaac would understand his plan so thoroughly after only reading a small part of the research...

However, there was no point in hiding it anymore. Evers had been prepared to expose this ever since he handed Isaac the magic book, so he simply nodded.

"That's right, but this plan still has major flaws, such as the church, and how to protect this thing, etc."

“Hmm.” Isaac nodded. “But these are easy to solve. After all, you are a member of the cult. As long as you contribute this technology to the cult, the cult will solve these problems for you. The price you need to pay is just a portion of the control over the divine magic network.”

Isaac waved his hand casually: "This would indeed save your kingdom, but there are risks involved. What if there are cult members behind the cholera outbreak in the Kingdom of Norsemania?"

Ifans fell silent again. Isaac was absolutely right. The sect was indeed very united, but that was only in terms of external relations. Internally, as a large organization, it had long been composed of various complex factions, which was what he had always been worried about. Otherwise, the divine magic network would have been completed long ago.

After all, this thing isn't that difficult. The biggest challenge in this technology is actually the materials needed to build the divine magic network.

"So, I have a plan, a plan that can truly and completely save the Norseman Kingdom. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Ifans silently observed the sinister and manic smile on Isaac's face, a chill creeping into his heart. For some reason, he was beginning to regret entrusting his research to Isaac...

but……

To be honest, Ifans was also very curious about the plan Isaac had mentioned, so although he didn't say anything, he nodded almost imperceptibly.

"It's very simple. A fourth-tier being can't protect the current Norseman Kingdom, but a god! A true god! Can definitely protect the Norseman Kingdom! It's even possible that the Norseman Kingdom's territory could multiply several times over!"

"That's it?" Ifans said with some disappointment. "I've thought about your idea, but unfortunately, it's unrealistic. Even with current technology, inheriting the power of gods wouldn't be something that can be done in a short time. It would take at least a hundred years, and even then, success isn't guaranteed. The impact would be too great. Besides, the path to godhood isn't suitable for witches..."

At the end, a somewhat disappointed Ifans saw Isaac's confident eyes and was taken aback, asking in confusion, "Isn't this what you meant?"

“Of course not!” Isaac smiled mysteriously and said something that sent a chill down Evans’ spine, “Do you know… the God of Blood and Bone?”

The God of Blood and Bone, a dimensional demon god, a dimensional demon god kept in captivity by the Cult of Flesh and Blood!
