Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Soon after, with everyone's combined efforts to repair it, the cracks on the ground became fewer and fewer, and the super-abnormal variants that had been teleported out were successively strangled.

At the same time, a circle of silver light suddenly shone from inside the secret realm.

"Buzz—!"

Like the daytime in Rhoda, silver light surged rapidly, instantly covering the entire "sky".

Outside the secret realm, the adjacent plaza was also affected. The ground instantly burst forth with layers of silver light, engulfing even Hughes and the others.

In the blink of an eye, all the cracks that covered the ground disappeared without a trace.

As the silver light faded, Azerian's figure appeared clearly in the scene displayed on the ground.

He was suspended in the air above the secret realm, with dozens of milky white crystals floating around him and combining into different shapes.

"Whoosh—"

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked behind him, then disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".

Meanwhile, in the plaza, some people noticed that Azerian hadn't been teleported back here and couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Strange, has Lord Azerian discovered something?"

"I guess there's still some part that hasn't been fixed."

"..."

On the west side of the square, Hughes looked down at the scene of the secret realm reflected on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly.

Others may not know, but he knows it all too well.

It was because Azerian had just been looking in the direction of Valerius's hidden realm...

Sure enough, after a short while, the environment in the secret realm transformed into an distorted state, which was exactly the condition for the cave to appear.

A few minutes later, a portal suddenly appeared out of thin air in the square.

"Buzz... Swish!"

As the portal opened, Azerian and Rhoda stepped out one after the other.

Hughes looked up and noticed that both of them looked unwell, but there were obvious differences between them.

Rhoda was clearly angry, while Azerian had a furrowed brow and looked somewhat troubled.

...Sure enough, that place was discovered.

He observed their expressions and thought to himself.

The next moment, Rhoda's voice came from above, so loud that everyone in the square could hear it.

"Tell Ramis he has to give me an explanation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a golden ray of light and sped away into the distance.

"call out--!"

Standing there, Azerian watched the other person's departing figure and sighed silently.

"well……"

……

Not long after, outside the golden crown.

"Buzz—Boom!!"

As a giant beam of light descended from the sky, Rhoda's figure appeared prominently within it.

The next second, he transformed into a beam of light and flew directly into the innermost circular building.

At this moment, in the Golden Hall.

The four illusory figures had already taken their seats, and as the palace doors in the distance slowly opened, Rhoda also walked into the hall and sat down in the empty seat.

"snort."

He snorted coldly, then said to the four illusory figures:

"I think you all already know what happened at the Wanling Spire."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phantom of Frossis on the other side nodded and said:

"Yes, we already know. It seems my suspicions were correct."

Despite saying this, his tone was particularly solemn.

After all, no one could have imagined that the first undercover agent discovered would be a vampire, and even a member of the Five Rings Family.

He was even one of the key figures in the family.

Thinking of this, he immediately spoke:

"What about Valerius? Did you capture him?"

Upon hearing this, Rhoda silently shook his head, then sighed and said:

"No... I didn't expect him to be able to break free of my restraints. In the end, he just self-destructed, taking his soul with him, and... the symbolic blood of Osiris."

"Osiris's symbolic blood is gone too? Are you sure?!"

Seronil frowned; as a pure-blooded elf, he seemed to have some authority to speak on this matter.

"Given their obsession with Osiris, even if this thing fell back into our hands, they wouldn't want to destroy it, would they?"

"I didn't want to believe it either, but the moment he self-destructed, I immediately activated my mental perception to try and protect the symbolic blood."

Rhoda shook his head.

"But it was too late. Every drop of blood was converted into blood energy for self-destruction at the same moment, almost including my own."

"Rhoda".

At this moment, Pusil suddenly spoke up.

"You wouldn't be thinking of taking this opportunity... to possess the symbolic blood of Osiris for yourself, would you?"

The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall almost froze.

They all knew what this meant, since this blood was not only the most worthy thing to study in this plane, but also the thing most likely to prolong their lives.

Of course, this is assuming they don't request life-extending items from the wizarding plane.

"Prisley Corradius...do you know what you're saying?!"

Upon hearing this, Rhoda's face suddenly darkened.

"Do you think I can complete the subsequent experiments by myself?"

"Oh--"

Beside him, Pusil sneered.

"Who doesn't know... that among us you have the least amount of life left and are the most anxious about researching Osiris?"

"you--!"

"Alright! Stop arguing, all of you!"

Frossis shouted.

"Fortunately, we all kept Osiris's existence a secret from our superiors, so we won't be held accountable now."

After a moment's thought, he said:

"The teleportation ceremony is in a few days. I'll try to contact a prophetic wizard again and ask him to recall the specific scene from that time."

Then he looked at Rhoda:

"Furthermore, Valerius is a member of your family. You must give us an explanation regarding your family—why are there vampires among you!"

After he finished speaking, the five people present fell silent, clearly they hadn't expected this situation either.

First it was the Black Ring Crown, and then it was the vampires.

These two forces, which were supposed to be under strict control, actually had a level two wizard right under their noses.

"Speaking of which, do you have any new ideas about vampires now?"

Suddenly, Rhoda frowned and said:

"Tek seems to have discovered a problem with the final image of the Pillars of Quiris and has asked me for help to personally investigate the Blood Domain."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Meherus Gadio, the patriarch of the Gadio family, who had remained silent beside him, suddenly spoke:

"Now that a vampire like Valerius has appeared, we do need to re-examine this race, though... perhaps not the ones on the surface."

"But even if they really are hiding underground in the Blood Domain, how many vampires can that small place accommodate? How many wizards can it cultivate?"

"..."

"Perhaps there's one possibility..."

Suddenly, Rhoda said coldly:

"I've discovered... both Valerius and Barossa possess the Shadow of the Black Mist!"
