Chapter 278 Isaac's First Miracle

"Whom do you want me to help get promoted?"

Upon hearing Isaac's words, Philo put down the teapot he was about to refill and handed Isaac a piece of parchment, explaining, "Prince Norns is going to the Wilderness Palace. In the thirty-eighth level of the palace, there is the legacy of the Thunder God. After passing the test, you can obtain the extraordinary legacy of the Thunder Blade."

“Norns? The Blade of Thunder?” Isaac was stunned. He looked up at Philo in surprise.

What does it mean?
It's important to understand that Solomon's feud with the Terran Empire stemmed primarily from Norns, and this was especially true for Isaac, since it was Caesar, not Isaac, who had his "Supreme Bone" removed by the Terran royal family.

To say he had absolutely no thoughts about it wouldn't be accurate, but he certainly didn't harbor any deep hatred. Moreover, since Caesar himself wasn't even thinking about revenge, Isaac naturally didn't have any particular thoughts either.

Of course, the above applies only to the Terran royal family, not Prince Norns!

To Isaac, this guy was like the mad witch master Gailard – someone he had to kill!
The Terran royal family couldn't possibly be unaware of this, so it's highly questionable that they would still pair the two of them together...

Isaac's eyes flickered, and he quickly understood the Terra royal family's intentions.

Prince Norns is a scapegoat!
If the Empire's reluctance to act against Isaac in the past stemmed from its fear of his status as the "Son of Prophecy," then now it's simply because it can't. Isaac is now a genius of the Flesh and Blood Cult, and to kill him, one must send someone of equal rank; otherwise, the cult will intervene.

But ironically, Isaac is now almost invincible among his peers.

Of course, it's not that killing is impossible, but the cost is too high and not worth it.

Therefore, under these circumstances, winning him over became the best option for the empire, and Prince Norns was the pawn the empire sacrificed to win over Isaac.

This can be seen from the tasks the Empire assigned to Isaac.

The Boundless Tower is similar to the Endless Sea, with an area that is almost infinite. The difference is that the endlessness of the Endless Sea is reflected in the boundless ocean, while the endlessness of the Boundless Tower is reflected in one parallel world after another.

The size of each parallel world varies depending on its corresponding power level, and each parallel world has its own theme, much like... the stories of legendary wizards.

Within these small worlds lie countless treasures. Some of these treasures are unique, left behind by powerful individuals who previously entered the Boundless Tower, while others are automatically collected by the Boundless Tower itself.

Yes, automatic collection!
Another important function of the Boundless Tower is to prevent the continuity of traditions in the real world from being interrupted. Therefore, it automatically collects those traditions that have been lost in the real world for various reasons from the long river of history.

For example, the path of the Radiant Knights that the Empire needs most is the latter. The gods' aversion does not yet have the power to affect the Boundless Tower, nor does it dare to.

After all, according to the Empire's records, every great creation was made from the remains of multiple gods!

Getting back to the main point, what the Empire needs most is the legacy of the Radiant Knights. This knightly legacy resides in the Realm of Light and Night. While the Thunder Blade in the Wilderness Dungeon is also a decent legacy, it cannot compare to the Radiant Knights. Moreover, the Wilderness Dungeon cannot allow knights to adapt to the power of the fifth tier in advance. With these additions and subtractions, even if Norns successfully obtains the legacy with Isaac's help,

In the end, he only became a legendary knight who was slightly weaker than the average level of a fifth-tier knight, and his impact on the empire's situation was not significant.

That's why Isaac said Norns was nothing more than a pawn discarded by the Empire. "Yes, some things will eventually come to a conclusion." Facing Isaac's surprised gaze, Philo nodded calmly.

"Tsk~ As expected of the Empire~" Isaac shook his head with a hint of admiration. "When will you give me the Miracle Lamp Wick and the Soul Mirror?"

“Once you sign this contract, I can give it to you now.” Seemingly afraid that Isaac might misunderstand, Philo paused for a moment before continuing, “This contract is also proof that you can enter the Wilderness Palace.”

'Does she really want me to go to the Wilderness Palace?' Isaac looked up at Philo. Although she didn't say it, Isaac could guess that it was probably because the empire didn't have any important needs there, so they "exiled" him there.

However, Isaac had no objection to this. At his level, the need for resources was much less, especially since he was a mad witch with a large number of cheap and convenient "resource suppliers".

“Okay.” Isaac nodded, carefully examined the contract, and after confirming there were no problems, he decisively signed it. Then, glancing at the blank signature field, he asked curiously, “Prince Norns…can he agree to this?”

If Isaac could see that the Empire wanted Norns to die, there was no reason why he couldn't see it.

“He had no choice,” Philo said calmly, revealing the ruthlessness of the royal family.

Isaac glanced at Philo in surprise, nodded, and said nothing more. After handing the contract to Philo, he left with the book containing information about the Boundless Tower. There was so much to discover in it; he wanted to study it carefully.

After leaving the palace, Isaac went straight back to the manor to continue studying how to use the Miracle Lamp Wick. He stopped going out for meals. Prince Norns sent people to find Isaac several times, but he never saw them, eagerly awaiting the opening of the Infinite Tower.

Talk about peace?

What a beautiful thought!
……

In the manor, Isaac gazed at the magic book, radiating multicolored light, floating above the menacing palm of Hamon, and stroked his chin, lost in thought. He was pondering which one to elevate into a miracle.

In his original plan, he intended to elevate the story of "The Ugly Duckling," as its ability to awaken bloodlines would be of some help to the Madheart Wizard that Isaac was researching. However, that referred to Isaac's step-by-step advancement to the fourth-tier wizard. But if he wanted to take a shortcut, he would definitely have to choose one that could bring combat power, which was exactly what he needed most at the moment.

but……

He has written four stories so far: Cinderella and The Ugly Duckling (first level), Snow White (second level), and Investiture of the Gods (third level).

Yes, it's *Investiture of the Gods*!
This wasn't originally in Isaac's plans, firstly because the subject matter was sensitive, and secondly...

To be honest, the original work of this thing is not that great compared to those famous works, and it is quite difficult to Westernize.

But as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes; who told him to start researching the enslavement of gods?
Is there anything simpler and more direct than this?
However, this puts Isaac in a somewhat awkward position. Although he has one more story than a typical legendary wizard, it seems that none of them can provide him with powerful combat abilities...
