Chapter 240: Chapter 192: This Online Loan... Can I Milk It?
In the blink of an eye, Isaac had brought everyone back to his territory’s training grounds. Liu Li, who had been waiting for some time, bowed in greeting, then her gaze fell upon Mechanical Remington, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.
’Remington, the one who betrayed Master back in the Imperial Capital!’
’And now, he’s somehow been resurrected!’
’She would never allow such a thing to happen!’
But...
Liu Li glanced at Isaac and refrained from acting, simply standing quietly to the side while clutching a report on the territory’s recent developments.
After returning safely to his territory, Isaac let out a long sigh of relief. ’The greatest crisis has been dealt with.’
Isaac then turned to Remington, whom he had also brought back. He didn’t really have any strong feelings for Remington anymore. After all, he’d already killed him once.
But this was just his personal opinion, not his father’s or Caesar’s. So, he had to leave the final judgment to Caesar and the others.
"You will stay here for the next two days. I’ll have someone prepare a room for you. You’re not to go anywhere until my eldest brother and the others send someone."
Hearing this, Remington withdrew his gaze from surveying Isaac’s territory. He looked at this third brother who now felt like a complete stranger and said coolly, "I am now under the direct command of Prince Norns. Are you sure you want to forcibly keep me here?"
"Heh. Don’t try to use the Prince to pressure me. If it were the Emperor, I’d release you without a second thought, but a Prince... Heh." Isaac chuckled softly.
Generally speaking, a noble’s title is linked to their strength, because the path of a Knight requires sufficient territory and subjects to support them, just like the Solomons.
But that was the general rule. And where there are general rules, there are naturally exceptions.
And these so-called exceptions referred to members of the Royal Family like Prince Norns. They were royalty; even if they had little strength, they were usually given a respectable title and a sum of money, and then left to fend for themselves.
Although Prince Norns was one of the more outstanding ones among them, his own strength was limited. He was merely a High-level Knight. Perhaps he had used his status and power to recruit a number of experts.
But given the current situation of the Terra Royal Family, they would never allow any royal faction to move against Isaac. They had only just managed to de-escalate the conflict. At a time like this, before a new Demigod pillar appeared in the Empire, it was impossible for them to make a move on him.
Of course, Isaac’s true reliance wasn’t the Terra Royal Family. Once he finished digesting his recent gains, he would be able to put up a fight against a true High-level Mage, not just run away.
Although Remington didn’t know the source of Isaac’s confidence, he knew one thing—Isaac was a Mad Witch!
Therefore, he had no doubt that Isaac was capable of doing such a thing.
"Don’t underestimate the Prince. He doesn’t play by the rules. Besides, I believe he has some conflict with our Solomon family."
"’Our Solomon family?’ Heh. Are you even qualified to say that anymore?" Isaac sneered, then waved a hand, having Smith lead him away. He then headed for the newly built Mage Tower behind the castle with Lorna and Liu Li.
This was an Extraordinary World. Its productivity was actually quite high, but this strength only benefited Transcendents and the Nobility. Ordinary people couldn’t enjoy it.
And so, in the time it took for Isaac to go on a trip, the Mage Tower promised to him by the Terra Royal Family was already complete.
Isaac’s Mage Tower had nine floors in total, the highest specification for a standard Mage Tower. It was also fitted with space-expansion technology, making the interior very large. For Isaac, however, not much of it was usable.
He looked at Liu Li’s report. The overall layout was similar to his plans before he left. Most of the Mage Tower’s space was currently idle. The first and second floors were used for raising Demons; the first floor was for adult Demons, and the second for cultivating young ones. Most of the young Demons were Dragon Lizards.
The third and fourth floors were vacant. The fifth floor was configured for a standard Arcanist, equipped with a laboratory, a Spell Target Range, a Magic Potion Room, an Alchemy Room, a Ritual Room, and a Study.
A normal Mage Tower certainly wouldn’t have a single floor divided up so meticulously. But this floor was one Isaac had allocated to Lorna. Considering her current abilities, this was more than enough. When she needed her own separate Mage Tower in the future, it wouldn’t be too late to prepare one for her.
However, given Lorna’s current personality, that day was likely a long way off.
The sixth floor was Isaac’s laboratory, the seventh was his Study, and the eighth held the Magic Pool, which powered the entire Mage Tower. The highest floor, the ninth, served as the place for Isaac to conduct his rituals.
This was the highest point of the entire Mage Tower, and it inherently occupied a Concept of "High Position," which would be quite beneficial in rituals for trading with Outer Gods.
At the same time, the Magic Pool was on the eighth floor below, its abundant energy ensuring that even if an accident occurred, he would have some ability to recover.
’The possibility of that happening in my hands is very low, but low doesn’t mean impossible.’ It was always better to be cautious. This was the principle behind the saying, "Consider defeat before you consider victory."
After giving Lorna and Liu Li a tour of the Mage Tower, Isaac was very satisfied. In addition to the spatial planning, the Mage Tower was also enchanted with several spells.
For example, the most important Barrier. The Mage Tower’s Barrier was an Erisis Type-3 Magic Barrier. While it wasn’t the newest standard model, it was the most mature Magic Barrier, possessing great adaptability that allowed it to be modified according to one’s own needs and areas of expertise.
