This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 228 Isaac: Whose subordinate is this? He's even more valiant than me!

“Conditions?” Isaac pondered for a moment under Phoenix’s gaze, then said, “Nothing much. Let me study your powers. Powers that are like the sun are truly intriguing.”

As he spoke, Isaac was already prepared for battle; he would act immediately should anything go wrong.

Because knights are different from wizards, the path of wizards now emphasizes sharing. Only by pooling the strength of many can one quickly overcome one research problem after another, allowing the path of wizards to go further.

Knights are different. To this day, the path of the knight remains in the hands of the nobles, with only a small portion spreading to the outside world. But even those that have spread are mostly returning to the control of the nobles.

Because after being promoted to knight, one is usually granted the title of noble by the local lord, or at the very least, a knighthood with only a title.

Furthermore, since the path of knighthood originated from the research of wizards, they were even more reluctant to allow wizards to study them.

Generally speaking, once this point is raised, the knights will start fighting desperately, giving it their all.

however……

"That's it? No problem."

To Isaac's astonishment, Phoenix nodded in agreement. Not only did he agree, he even felt that the request was quite ordinary.
In this world, are there still knights who aren't afraid of being studied by wizards?
Isaac blinked and asked cautiously again, "What I meant was that I need to study your powers. In the process, you might need to take some testing potions. Is that alright?"

"Is that all? No problem."

Phoenix readily agreed.

This completely shocked Isaac. He looked at Phoenix in astonishment. You see, in this day and age, although knights are relatively taboo about studying wizards, as the saying goes, the bold get rich while the timid starve. As long as you pay more, there will always be some knights who are not doing well who are willing to accept wizards' commissions and be studied by them.

Even they wouldn't accept taking potions, because apart from wizards, no one knows what the effects of a potion you drink will be.

However, what Isaac didn't know was that Phoenix's situation was similar to that of the arrogant man. His power was also innate, and that terrible power had been hidden deep within him since childhood, causing him great suffering.

The reason he has been able to get to where he is today is because he was once used as research material by wizards, which not only allowed him to gradually master his own power, but also gave him the resources to advance step by step.

Therefore, his resistance to wizard experiments was relatively weak, and it was just a magic potion. Phoenix was least afraid of such things. Once it was inside his body, he could still make his own decisions.

If the potion is truly harmful, his own power will instantly incinerate it!
That's why he agreed so readily. And to be honest, Isaac's conditions were nothing compared to what he had experienced in the past!
So, Isaac, unaware of all this, was naturally astonished by Phoenix's swift action. Fortunately, Isaac didn't dwell on it for long. After all, he was stronger than Phoenix, and before absolute power, all schemes and tricks were futile.
Furthermore, he was quite confident in his research abilities (his cheat code), believing that he would get results soon. Their relationship wouldn't last long, and even if there were any schemes or tricks, Isaac wouldn't give him time to use them.

Therefore, after only a moment's thought, Isaac waved his sleeve, removing the Sighing Wall surrounding Phoenix, and at the same time, handed Phoenix a magical contract.

Phoenix was slightly taken aback as the parchment floated down in front of him. He looked at Isaac in shock. There was even a witchcraft contract inside? And there were some restrictions on Isaac himself? Was it really that generous?

Seeing Phoenix's shocked expression, Isaac frowned slightly. This shouldn't be the case. The text of the witchcraft contract is a standard template commonly used in the wizarding world and does not contain any traps. After all, as a mad witch, if he really wanted to tamper with it, he wouldn't need to do so within the witchcraft contract; he could simply interfere with the contract directly.

So, why is Phoenix frowning? What's causing this shock?
"Do you have any questions or concerns about the terms here? If so, please let me know, and I can make changes." "Questions..." Phoenix looked at the terms concerning Isaac, and indeed, he was quite puzzled...

However, there's no need to change it. He's not stupid; he understands the principle of knowing when to quit while he's ahead. With such lenient conditions, there's no way he could refuse.

So after shaking his head, Phoenix immediately signed his name on it and threw the witchcraft contract at Isaac, watching him in amazement.

"You're actually Isaac?"

"You know me?" Isaac asked, somewhat surprised.

“Isaac Solomon, the infamous usurper, rose from a mortal with no magic to a high wizard in just a few years. In the Truth Association, your name is known to everyone.” As he spoke, Phoenix sighed and looked at Isaac with a complicated expression. “I just didn’t expect that not only did you rise so quickly, but your combat power was also so strong.”

"The Truth Association? You're a member of the Truth Association?"

“Hmm.” Phoenix nodded, while his right hand traced a peculiar magical symbol across his chest.

In this ritual at the Endless Sea, this magical symbol signifies withdrawal, meaning that from this moment forward, Isaac has truly achieved victory.

Just as Phoenix conceded defeat, new information appeared in Isaac's mind, causing him to show a surprised expression.

In this ritual concerning the struggle for divinity, the Empire's battles at the third tier mainly took place on three battlefields, and Isaac was the last to finish the fight!

He's already this fast, how can there be someone even faster than him?

Of course, it wasn't the first time, so he had a bit of a premonition. After all, Archmage Mensa had also spent many years honing his skills at the High Wizard level, and he had almost reached the limit of the third tier. Isaac knew in his heart that he could be faster than Mensa.

But he actually came in last place...

Isaac didn't understand.

Do not……

maybe……

Looking at the information in his mind, Isaac narrowed his eyes. It wasn't that he couldn't understand, because the first person to complete it was a high-ranking knight!
As for the knight, he might be the one who seized the power of his elder brother Caesar [Boundless]!

Of course, that's not necessarily true. After all, even after his elder brother Caesar was stripped of [Boundless] and reached the third rank, he has now obtained this power that is extremely suitable for knights, so he should be more than the third rank now.
