Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"The Black Ringed Crown!"

Hughes was startled. Just as he had expected, this vampire was a member of the Black Ring Crown, and even a member of the third ring.

Since the family in the center of Maransel launched a campaign against the Black Ring Crown a few years ago, all their hidden strongholds, large and small, throughout Maransel have been completely destroyed.

At the same time, they also conducted a large-scale search of the visible racial forces on the mainland. Some races were found to be cooperating with the Black Ring Crown and were imprisoned or even exterminated.

However, the high-level combatants of the Black Ring Crown have still not been found, and—no one can be sure that the only members of the Black Ring Crown are those who have been killed.

They had considered capturing prisoners, but every time the stronghold fell, the assassins inside the Black Ring stronghold would exhale black mist and die automatically, their souls never to be found.

The Black Ring Crown has thus faded from public view, and there has been no trace of Black Ring Assassins in recent years.

Of course, the absence of the Black Ring Crown also means that a new assassin organization has quietly emerged.

but--

"The existence of vampires in the Black Ring Crown means—is the current Black Ring Crown supported by vampires?!"

An even more terrifying thought surfaced in Hughes's mind, but given the lack of sufficient evidence and the fact that the Black Ring Crown had disappeared for many years, he dared not draw any conclusions.

Holt and Willow also came over, expressing their shock at the fact that Imos was a member of the Black Ring Crown.

All I can say is...

Willow frowned, her eyes fixed on the glove that Hughes was clutching.

"At that time, the people from the Golden Ring Crown even went to the Blood Domain, but the news released to the outside world was still that they had not found the high-ranking members of the Black Ring Crown."

……

The discussion ended there. Holt went to collect the life dew drops from the Dewdrop Flower, while Hughes and Willow collected the storage bags of the others.

After everyone had divided the items, the next thing to consider was how to get out and how to avoid being discovered by the Natural Speakers.

"That sorcerer, the official wizard, should be arriving soon..."

Holt's expression was somewhat solemn. To be honest, if the formal wizard hadn't left in advance, leaving the rest of the game to those third-class apprentices, the group of them really wouldn't have been able to escape.

Of course, Hughes was an exception. He summarized the battle, and the gap anchor was indeed very useful. Not only did it launch surprise attacks on several enemies in succession, but also...

Hughes sensed something and looked up into the distance. Willow and Holt beside him also felt the terrifying aura and looked up at the sky in surprise along with Hughes.

In the distance, a faint icy blue light appeared in the clouds. A few seconds later, the blue light became more and more obvious, and the three of them could vaguely see a figure flying rapidly towards them within the light.

Soon, as if torn apart by an invisible hand, a huge crack appeared in the clouds in the sky, and an ice-blue "meteor" flew out from within.

A few breaths later, the "meteor" easily pierced through the black shield and entered the Dahl Forest. The light dissipated, revealing a slender figure—it was none other than Shirinville, who had already advanced to the second level.

Her long silver hair was whipped about by the cold wind, the pattern on her forehead became two lines, and her aura became even more mysterious and colder.

Shirinville looked around, her gaze landing on Hughes and the other two. Then, with a flash of silver light, she instantly teleported from the air to in front of them, a chilling aura emanating from her.

"There is indeed the aura of Olympus here. I will send Keller with the payment for this in three days."

Her gaze swept over the remaining traces of the battle on the ground, finally settling on Hughes, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.

"It's all for the friendship between Everfrost Spire and Ice Rift Corridor, Lady Shirinville."

Hughes said politely, but inwardly he couldn't help but look forward to the reward he would receive from a second-level wizard.

However, Hughes was quite surprised that Shireenville had come in person.

In order to prepare for the upcoming investigation by the formal wizards and the subsequent Nature Speakers, Hughes used the Rift Anchor to teleport back to his dormitory.

Hughes then found Keller and gave him the recording of his conversation with Talis, asking him to contact the village to find a qualified wizard for help, and of course, to bring the incident to their village.

After all, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Shireenville was determined to fight Olympus and his group to the death, especially since she had successfully advanced to become a second-level wizard.

However, according to Hughes' original intention, he only planned to have Kate call a formal wizard to help, but he did not expect that Shireenville would come in person. Hughes was even a little "flattered".

As for Holt and Willow behind Hughes, they were too shocked to speak. Holt was even wondering what Hughes had been doing before, managing to invite even a second-level wizard.

"The official wizard of the Natural Speakers will arrive soon. I have opened a passage in the west. You have only three minutes to evacuate."

The three dared not delay and were about to leave when Shirinville handed them an ice-blue badge.

The badge is engraved with several ice-blue lines and emits a faint aura.

"This is the Ice Concealment Badge, which can temporarily shield your magical fluctuations."

Hughes thanked him, then picked up the Ice Concealment Badge, activated it with magic, and quickly left with Holt and the others.

Meanwhile, Shireenville had already changed direction and flew upwards, preparing to attack the soon-to-be-former wizard.

At the same moment, not far from the Dahl Forest, the oppressive aura of a formal wizard could be felt.

Trevens is a first-class wizard under Orinius and a member of the Orinius Project.

This time, he was in charge of sending Talis and the others to the Dahl Forest and eliminating the formal wizard-level combatants inside first.

He was speeding through the air, his fiery wings flapping behind him, transforming into a red meteor as he flew towards the Dahl Forest.

His face was very pale, and he released his mental energy in a venting manner. The trees below shook violently under his influence, as if they were about to be uprooted at any moment.

Originally, after completing what he was supposed to do, he returned to the Natural Speaker to conduct his own experiment. However, just as the experiment was halfway through, Talis sent a message that the mission had encountered an unexpected problem, and the experiment was forced to be interrupted.

"Hmph, I hope that kid Talis isn't lying to me and that a dragonborn really has appeared," Trevins said disdainfully.

In his mind, a place like the Dahl Forest, which was remote and resource-rich, would never be visited by a formal wizard. Even if a third-class apprentice went there, Talis and his group could easily handle it with their strength.

Soon, Trevins flew over the Dahl Forest. Through the black light barrier, he saw that the Dahl Forest had completely lost its vitality. The forest was full of dead trees, and even the land had turned grayish-white.

"Isn't this done quite well?" Cui Wensi observed from the outside for a while, then entered the black light barrier.
