This crazy wizard is quite stable

Chapter 33 Isaac the Courageous

Gaia looked at Remington coldly, his eyes full of disappointment.

He knew very early on that his second son wanted to fight for the inheritance. After all, all the people under Remington were appointed by him, and he could not hide any movement from him.

At the beginning, Gaia was very happy because his son was not a man who would resign himself to his fate and would not give up just because his opponent was too strong. As long as he maintained this spirit, even if Remington failed to snatch the inheritance from Caesar in the future, his achievements would not be low.

The Solomon family should maintain this kind of spirit!

This is also the reason why the Solomon family was able to slowly rise from a commoner to the position of viscount!

However, before he could be happy for long, facing Caesar's increasingly outstanding performance, Remington slowly couldn't stand the pressure and started to make some small moves and use some shameful means.

At first, he just tried to sow discord between Caesar and his subordinates, but later he began to frame Caesar and even planned to destroy the relationship between Caesar and his wife!

The means are becoming more and more despicable!
Of course, up to this point, Gaia was only slightly disappointed. Although the means were not presentable and he did not like them, Gaia had to admit that these means were indispensable in political struggles. You could choose not to use them, but you could not fail to master them.

So at this point Remington still has a chance, until…

Until he concealed the news of the goblin attack in the territory, preparing to use the goblins to cause an unprecedented civil unrest in order to create trouble for Caesar, who was temporarily in charge of the territory!
This method of harming the people touched Gaia's bottom line, not to mention that he didn't even consider his weak third brother during this process...

This made Gaia completely disappointed in Remington.

However, after learning that Isaac was fine and that the goblin issue had been resolved by him, Gaia did not show up to stop him, but continued to observe Remington. He wanted to know to what extent his second son would go, and the result was obvious.

"From today on, your name of Solomon will be stripped from you! After the disaster of the black orcs, you will leave the territory!"

Gaia's words made everyone's faces change suddenly, including Isaac. When the three of them were about to speak, they saw Gaia's eyes looking at them. Caesar and Cheryl immediately retracted their heads and stood there like quails. Only Isaac stood up, because when facing him, Gaia subconsciously restrained his momentum.

"Father, my second brother was just confused for a moment. He knows he was wrong. Please forgive him this time!" After saying that, Isaac immediately gave Remington a look, indicating that he should admit his mistake quickly.

In this era, being expelled from a family is no small matter. This means that unless Remington becomes a top-notch strong man in the empire in the future, he will never be able to regain his noble status!

Completely blocking other channels for upward mobility!

However, facing Isaac's gaze, Remington did not respond, but just lowered his head silently. He admitted what he had done.

Wrong is wrong.

"Hmph~" Gaia snorted coldly, but his serious expression eased a little. Obviously, he was quite satisfied that Remington did not ask him for help.

Gaia glanced at Isaac, who had a determined look on his face, then looked at Remington and said, "Since your brother pleads for you, I will forgive you this time. The expulsion will be postponed. If you perform well in the war with the black orcs this winter, you will not be expelled. However, all your territories will be confiscated. Do you have any objection?"

"No, thank you, father! I will never let you down!" Remington immediately raised his head and said seriously.

"Hmph~ Thank Isaac. Thank him for not being as ruthless as you!" Although the punishment on Remington was reduced, Gaia was obviously dissatisfied with Remington in every way.

Seeing this, Isaac and his two siblings looked at each other and all breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Gaia saw that the relationship between the four siblings had eased a little, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, but he quickly suppressed it so that no one noticed.

After waving his hand and signaling Remington to roll aside and stand still, he looked at Caesar and said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the movements of the black orcs during this period."

"Yes!" Caesar's eyes became more serious when this matter was mentioned. He stepped out and gently rubbed his waist with his right hand. Colorful magic light emanated from Caesar's waist, forming a three-dimensional sand table in front of everyone.

Looking at the lifelike magic sandbox in front of him, Isaac's eyebrows raised slightly. This thing is quite advanced. As the attention is focused, it will be enlarged accordingly, as if you are actually there.

A true war weapon!

I don't know what the market price is.
"At present, there is no sign that the Black Orcs are marching out, but according to our investigation, they should want to go big this year. They have already gathered a force of over ten thousand people! It is far larger than any other Autumn Plunder in history!" As soon as Caesar said this, everyone's expression instantly became solemn.

A war involving tens of thousands of people...

Even in this extraordinary age of magic, it is extremely rare.

Even countries rarely maintain such a large army, because the minimum standard for a regular legion is to be a quasi-knight, and a few strict ones even require knights to join.

The Black Orcs' combat units are basically quasi-knights, a level that is close to inhumanity. There are tens of thousands of quasi-knights...

This force far exceeds the thousand-man knight group led by Solomon...

"They gave birth to a king?!" Gaia frowned as he looked at the sand table and raised his question.

Caesar shook his head. "According to the accurate information we have received so far, no. They gathered for another reason. We are still investigating what it is."

"Yeah." Gaia's expression relaxed a little. It's good that he's not the orc king...

The king of the black orcs appeared once a hundred years ago. He was above the high-level knights and could command all the black orcs in the wilderness. He was far beyond the ability of the current Lord Solomon to resist.

Even if they ask for help from the Empire, Solomon Territory will inevitably become a frontline battlefield. Such an intense war is still not a good thing for them, and they might even be destroyed!
but……

"Send more personnel to find out why such a large group of troops have gathered. At the same time, notify other lords and ask them to bring their teams to the fortress to participate in the defense."

"Yes, father!" Caesar nodded seriously.

"How many alchemical golems can the Mage Tower provide in a month?" After giving Caesar the order, Gaia looked at Cheryl.

"There aren't many materials in the Mage Tower, and we've never prepared for a war involving tens of thousands of people, so there are currently three hundred Obsidian Golems that can be activated in the Mage Tower, and at most three can be made in a month." Cheryl said helplessly.

War is no joke. The principle that a cannon shot is worth a ton of gold applies to both worlds. Some things will continue to consume resources even if they are left alone.

For example, the Alchemical Golem, this kind of weapon of war is powerful, but it is very expensive!
Not only are the materials and fuel expensive, but even the maintenance costs are expensive!
This is because Cheryl herself is a great wizard affiliated with the Truth Association, and she also has her own wizard tower, so she can pull a lot of clear-sighted official wizards from the association to do free work, saving a lot of maintenance costs. Otherwise, the number of obsidian golems on standby would have to be reduced by at least fifty!

Such a high cost means that they will have no way to deal with such emergencies, and the output will be there.

Although it is possible to purchase from the association, it is expensive and...

The activation of the Obsidian Golem requires magical resources such as magic crystals. Even if you have money to buy a golem, you may not have money to buy magic crystals.

So after Cheryl finished speaking, Gaia sighed, but fortunately he was mentally prepared, so he was not too disappointed.

"Forget it. Three planes won't solve any problems. You should put aside other things during this period of time and concentrate on training. If you can become a high-level wizard, it will be of greater help!"

Cheryl nodded, she thought so too.

After saying that, Gaia frowned and looked at the sand table, silently thinking about the battle plan. This made Isaac, who was expecting something, stunned for a moment. He blinked his eyes and thought, should he not ask... him?
He was a little surprised that his father directly skipped over Isaac. He was not the second brother who made a mistake, so why did he skip over him?

Fortunately, the careful Caesar noticed Isaac's expression, and he immediately said, "Third brother, what do you think?"

Gaia was stunned when he heard this. He then noticed the expectation on Isaac's face. He coughed lightly, gave Caesar an approving look, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Of course!" Isaac nodded heavily. He was so resourceful!
Isn’t it just about military strength?

The eldest sister can’t recruit troops quickly, but he can!

"It's like this. Didn't goblins appear in the territory some time ago? During the process of encircling and suppressing the goblins, I found that the birth of goblins was very interesting, so I studied it, and then with my amazing wisdom, I successfully created a similar witchcraft called Flesh and Blood Nest!
It is a kind of position magic. After the arrangement is completed, as long as you continue to feed it with demonized flesh and blood, you can continuously create monsters! Although the wind wolf and demonized wild boar created at present are still very weak, as long as you give me some time, I can quickly optimize them! "

After saying that, Isaac raised his head confidently!

Although it’s not nice to say this, but in this battle, the Black Orcs did a great job in increasing their forces!

It was truly a timely help. All that was left for him to be promoted to a great wizard was for the active period of his magic power to end and for his legend to be written in the third magic book. This was a good opportunity to show off his prowess in front of others!

However, when Isaac said this, Cheryl's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself that something was wrong. Sure enough, when she looked at Gaia, she found that Gaia's face looked very ugly.

"Are you a crazy witch?!" Gaia asked with a sullen face.

"Uh..." Isaac blinked. He wasn't the kind of nerd who couldn't read people's faces. He could understand the atmosphere, but what he didn't understand was...

He had guessed that the Mad Witch had a bad reputation, but the Mad Witch seemed a little less mysterious. Could it be that his status was not that high?
Isaac glanced at Caesar secretly and found that his expression was also extremely ugly.

He immediately shrank his head and asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"Answer me! Have you become a mad wizard who trades with the Outer Gods?!" Gaia did not answer Isaac, but asked with a sullen face.

"Uh...yes."

"…Why would you do this? You should know that Outer Gods are all dangerous!"

'Because I have a hang.'

Of course Isaac couldn't say that, and they didn't necessarily believe it either. He could only shrug his shoulders and said casually, "Because it's fast. The legendary wizard's path is a shortcut for spellcasters in my opinion. Since it's a shortcut, then of course the fastest way is the best. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Am I fine?"

"You know what's going on, but I don't!" Gaia glared at Isaac, took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and said, "You chose your own path. I know I can't persuade you. Be careful. The mad witch's brain is not normal, just like you."

Isaac: “…”

So, why such a big reaction to the mad witch?

Moreover, why could we identify him as a mad wizard in an instant?
I think he didn't let it slip just now?

Seeing that his father and eldest brother refused to explain, Isaac looked at Cheryl curiously.

Cheryl sighed and said, "You are a legendary wizard. You should know the origin of the Goblin Nest. The power behind this kind of nest-type witchcraft all comes from the Outer Gods. This is a power that can only be mastered and bestowed by the Outer Gods. Mortals cannot learn it through their own research, even if they have extremely detailed magic books."

"Is there such a saying?" Isaac raised his eyebrows. He really learned something new. However...

“Then why did father and elder brother react so strongly? It shouldn’t just be because of the Outer Gods, right?” As he spoke, Isaac also looked at Gaia, his eyes full of curiosity.

He did not ask Caesar or Cheryl about this. In this family, Gaia's authority was still very high. As long as he did not nod, his elder brother and sister would not tell him anything.

"Father, my third brother can now stand on his own. There are some things that he should know."

"Brother is right. Besides, it's better for you to tell him than for him to find out through other channels. Third brother is a mad wizard, his mind is not normal."

"Huh?" Isaac looked at his eldest sister in confusion.

"Ah~" Gaia finally sighed. Cheryl was right. Isaac was a mad witch with an abnormal mind. Instead of waiting for him to ask the Outer Gods, it would be better to tell him himself. "Come to my room tonight and I will tell you something. Now, tell me about your witchcraft first. Tell me what you can say."

"Tsk~Okay." Isaac was a little helpless, but he still tried his best to suppress his curiosity, and then said, "There's nothing I can't tell you. I was talking to Yiwan... Well, when I was trading with that guy, I asked him to perfect the structure of the Flesh and Blood Nest. Theoretically, as long as there are enough monsters, there is no limit to the strength of the Flesh and Blood Nest!
However, due to my own strength, I can only breed first-level monsters at most. In addition, I also took a little bit of dimension fragments from Him, which can give me almost unlimited magic power in a short period of time, and I can even hide in the dimension instantly, so don't worry about me, I have enough self-protection ability, well, these are my only two trump cards."

After hearing what Isaac said, everyone fell silent.

I take it back, Isaac is not mentally ill, he is courageous!
