"Uaaahhh~~~"
The next day, after studying witchcraft through the night, Isaac stretched lazily and rose from his chair. Seeing that the learning progress for the spell Material Shield had reached 63% on his panel, the corners of his lips lifted slightly. After loosening up his body, he closed his spellbook and prepared to head out.
He planned to visit the Tower of Truth, rent a laboratory, settle his advancement ritual first, then purchase some essential materials—such as Demonic Beast Flesh Essence, Demonic Beast Flesh Essence, and Demonic Beast Flesh Essence...
After that, he could set off for the city where the Lamp Trial was held.
Otherwise, being constrained at every turn in the Imperial Capital was terribly inconvenient. A rented laboratory was ultimately nowhere near as secure as his own. When traveling outside, it was best to keep a guard up.
The Tower of Truth's laboratories were rather bare-bones. Of course, that also had something to do with the price Isaac had paid. The entire laboratory contained only a table, a magical alcohol lamp, a pile of beakers and test tubes, and nothing else. It could not have been more rudimentary.
It could only be used to brew potions—and only simple ones. The equipment needed for anything even slightly more advanced simply was not there.
