Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 344 A straightforward person is more likely to be suspected.

In addition, Leo's luxurious equipment might have made the first-tier wizards of the Golden Eagle faction uneasy, thus hindering his advancement to a formal wizard.

Leo pondered for a moment: "Besides Wizard Anthony, I should help one or two other first-class wizard apprentices advance in rank to divert their attention from me. That would be more appropriate."

"But who should we contact?"

"Oh, right..."

A sudden inspiration struck Leo.

The names of two wizards came to mind.

Tower of Dawn, Beth's Research Lab.

Hearing footsteps, Beth turned around and said, "Anthony, you're here. Sit down first, I still have some experiments to do."

Anthony agreed and then patiently waited until Beth's experiment was over.

Beth asked, "Anthony, did you bring any blood pressure-lowering tea today?"

"I brought some. Wizard Beth, if you need it, I'll brew you a pot right away."

"Well, I've just run out of blood pressure-lowering tea. Please accept the rest as a gift."

Beth didn't mention how many magic stones he needed to buy the tea; instead, he simply asked Anthony to deliver the blood pressure-lowering tea to him. This reveals that beneath his outward politeness lies an extremely domineering mindset.

"Anthony, do you remember Sky Research?"

Anthony once conducted a study called the Sky Study.

When Anthony applied for this research, he was rejected by the divine messenger in charge. It was only after the wizard Beth intervened that the research was able to proceed.

"Of course, I will never forget your help."

"Very well, since that's the case, there's one thing I want your promise about this time."

"Anthony, help me stop Leo from becoming a first-ring wizard."

Upon hearing this, Anthony's teacup trembled slightly, and the liquid inside almost spilled.

Anthony said, "I'm sorry, Wizard Beth, I cannot agree to this."

Beth said, "Don't rush to refuse. I know your situation very well. You betrayed Leo before, handing over the research data he invested in to Lord Augusta. Now I just want you to do something similar. This should be within your acceptable range."

Anthony shook his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "Wizard Beth, it's precisely because I crossed the line that I cannot betray..."

Beth narrowed his eyes and released his magical pressure.

Anthony looked tense.

Finally, Beth withdrew her magical pressure and said, "Anthony, I can help you obtain the resources you need to advance to the first-ring wizard level, and I can also protect you from being coveted by other formal wizards."

"I do need these things, but I've already crossed the line. If I go any further, I won't be myself anymore. At that point, I won't be qualified to call myself a wizard anymore."

"Hmph, you blockhead."

"Anthony, remember this: once you betray someone, you betray them forever. You've never stood on the side of decency; you've always been far from it. If Leo finds out the truth, he'll never trust you again."

Beth said coldly, and then chased Anthony away.

Esmond rally.

Barbara's slender arms moved slightly as she wiped the table.

Normally, a second-class wizard apprentice like her would not be able to do this kind of servant work.

However, after being marked with the control mark, Barbara could no longer be a wizard.

Barbara's ears twitched slightly.

Footsteps came from the doorway.

Barbara put on a smiling face.

Leo came in through the door.

"Hello, Master. You're back so soon?"

Leo hummed in agreement, went inside, and said, "Barbara, help me contact the wizards who came to communicate earlier."

"Yes, Master."

Accompanied by Barbara's fiddling.

The communicator emitted a beeping sound.

Anthony's voice came through.

"The Wizard Leo".

"The Wizard Anthony".

The two greeted each other first, and then Anthony said, "Wizard Leo, I wonder if you have made any preparations regarding Mojin?"

"It's all ready. You can take it whenever you want."

"Then I'll make time to go to the Esmond Gathering to find you later."

"Yes, that's fine."

Leo and Anthony exchanged a few words.

Just as he was about to end the communication, Anthony suddenly said, "Wizard Leo, there is something I feel I must confess to you."

""

"Regarding the research on exoskeleton spell absorption equipment, I initially leaked some incomplete research details to a formal wizard."

Leo pondered for a moment and said, "Wizard Anthony, I have always trusted you. Why did you betray me? You should know very well that revealing important research to other wizards is an unforgivable act among wizards."

Anthony said, "Wizard Leo, I know I was wrong in this matter. If you don't give me the gold because of this, I have nothing to say."

Leo didn't answer immediately, but subconsciously raised his right index finger, lowered it, raised it again, and lowered it, as if he was thinking.

Actually, Leo originally planned to pretend that nothing had happened.

This is good for both Anthony and Leo.

But since Anthony brought it up, Leo couldn't ignore it.

Leo said, "Wizard Anthony. In any case, you have leaked my important research data, and you must compensate me accordingly for my losses."

Anthony quickly asked, "Wizard Leo, how many magic stones do you need?"

Leo held up his finger and said, "Two million magic stones."

"no problem."

Anthony readily agreed, saying that he could afford to compensate for not only two million magic stones, but even ten million magic stones.

Leo said, "I'll accept the magic stone. However, I hope that Wizard Anthony will not repeat this kind of behavior."

"Yes, Wizard Leo."

Anthony replied.

He felt much better now, as if a stone that had been weighing on his heart had finally sunk down.

Leo ended the call, his expression darkening.

"What exactly does Anthony mean by this...?"

Leo originally had a lot of trust in Anthony.

As for the leaked data mentioned by Anthony, Leo didn't seem to care.

Anthony leaked the data to Augusta.

This leak will not cause Leo much damage.

However, Anthony is now bringing this up.

What does this mean?

"Could it be that the wizard Anthony is testing me?"

"A test of my loyalty to Augusta?"

"Or is there another plan?"

Leo pondered for a while but still couldn't understand what Anthony meant by this. It couldn't be because his moral standards were too high and he was so bothered by the fact that he leaked the data, could it?

In that case, is Anthony too naive?

"Forget it, whatever his motives are, I just need him to help me divert the attention of other formal wizards. From that perspective, I don't need to worry about him betraying me."
