Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"I thought you didn't know the speed of the airship, and I was going to tell you to fly back quickly."

Corinne covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

"Whoosh...whoosh!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the scenery around them suddenly rushed backward, revealing that the airship beneath their feet was accelerating.

"You seem to know a lot about airships?"

Thinking about why he remembered her, Hughes couldn't help but ask.

"Let's get to know each other."

Upon hearing this, Corini stretched out her hand, revealing the five-ring logo on her glove.

"Corinne Gadio, the airships in the Oren plane were all built by our family."

That's right. He had been at the Vulture Peak for more than two years, and it wasn't until recently that Hughes met a student from the Five Rings Family at the Radim Peak.

That's why he had some impression of the other person.

Hughes Craig.

Hughes gently squeezed the other person's hand.

"From the Everfrost Spire."

Corinne nodded, not bothered by the other party's status as the champion.

"This ship is actually designed to transport all kinds of cargo, which is why its structure is a bit unusual."

She also knew why Hughes had been hovering in the air for so long, and spoke up before he could ask.

"We only had the opportunity to board this ship because of Bradis."

Upon hearing this, Hughes was somewhat puzzled.

"You mean... this is specifically for transporting goods?"

He then frowned, as if he understood the meaning behind the other person's words.

"So, in addition to sending us to the Golden Crown, the academy is also sending something else there?"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think we couldn't just teleport there directly? And why was Bradis able to go to the Wizarding Dimension ahead of time?"

Corinne nodded.

"Every 100 years, our Oren plane must offer various resources, as well as the knowledge we have acquired during this period, to the organization above us in the Wizarding Plane."

As she spoke, she suddenly pointed to the cabin under her nail plate.

"And now, the resources and knowledge that are about to be offered to the Wizarding Dimension are right beneath our feet."

Upon hearing this, Houston suddenly realized.

He then realized why Bradis was able to travel to the Wizarding World alone ahead of time—he had hitched a ride on these resources.

"The 'closed areas' Lord Azerian refers to are those places where resources and knowledge are sealed away."

As she spoke, Corinne turned around and said softly:

"I'll be going now. It was a pleasure meeting you, Wizard Hughes."

After saying that, she left the place.

"..."

Hughes stood still, turning to look at the scenery beside him. It was still rushing past, and even the clouds below were being torn apart by the ship's hull.

Beneath his feet lay the rare and precious resources collected by the Myriad Peaks Tower over the past century, and the academic efforts of countless wizards who had spent a hundred years researching and developing these resources.

"..."

The Golden Crown was not far from the Myriad Peaks, and the airship was already traveling at a very fast speed.

So a few hours later, it carried Hughes and the others to the outer perimeter of the Golden Crown.

"Buzz..."

With a buzzing sound, the airship came to a stop on a vast plain.

Looking out from the deck, Hughes could see the golden buildings faintly visible in the distance.

That place was the stronghold of the Golden Crown.

"Alright, we've arrived."

At that moment, Azerian appeared from behind and flew to the front of the group.

It seems that even after arriving here, he is hesitant to use teleportation.

"Next, we'll fly there. Everyone, set off immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, he blurred and sped away.

The others also activated their flight magic and followed behind Azerion.

Hughes was among them, activating his levitation spell and silently following behind the group.

He turned his head and saw that the airship was not stationary, but was automatically heading in another direction.

That must be where the Golden Ring Crown received the resources offered to it.

"..."

In the air, Hughes followed Azerian and the others, flying rapidly toward the golden building that was floating in the air ahead.

Below them stretched an endless golden grassland.

The grassland is covered with golden grass, which sways in the wind and emits specks of golden light.

They appear to be enchanted plants from the Wizarding Realm, but their specific function remains unknown.

In fact, this is the landscape of the entire area, making the whole region look like a golden ocean.

Soon, the group arrived at the very center of this "ocean," and the full view of the Golden Ring Crown stronghold gradually appeared before their eyes.

"This is……!"

Hughes' pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the "golden behemoth" before him, a sense of indescribable shock washing over him.

If the entire region is described as a vast, boundless golden "ocean".

So the golden crown is that giant airship floating in the middle of the ocean.

It is like a golden behemoth lying dormant in mid-air, quietly overlooking the entire land, with no other buildings visible within a radius of a thousand miles.

...Buzz! !!! !!! !!!

——!

With just one glance, Hughes felt an intense pressure emanating from the five giant rings, and even his soul trembled involuntarily.

Such immense spiritual pressure can only emerge when several top-tier level two wizards gather together.

Without a doubt, the five top rulers of the Oren plane are standing inside the giant ring building, watching them in some way!

Fortunately, the pressure on everyone eased quickly, and several figures flew out of the building and flew towards them.

"Lord Azerian, haha, it's been such a long time..."

Leading the group was Prius, who wore an empty white robe and whose face showed undeniable weariness and age.

Azerian clearly knew him, and the two immediately struck up a friendly conversation.

"Prius, why did you come first? I thought you would be with us."

Seeing the other party's appearance, Azerian couldn't help but frown.

"And what's wrong with you? It seems more serious than I thought?"

Prius is now not only incredibly old in appearance, but his mental energy fluctuations are also somewhat unstable.

However, he was not a wizard who relied heavily on the physical body like those who focused on body refinement or bloodline cultivation. Theoretically, his strength would not be greatly affected even before his death.

However, his mental state is currently declining, seemingly about to fall to the level of a formal wizard.

"Ahem, I guess he got caught in the crossfire a few days ago, you know... that guy's self-destruction was insane."

Prius responded, his voice unusually hoarse.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Azerian nodded silently, of course knowing who "that guy" was referring to.
