Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Afterwards, the controversy surrounding Hector's death did not last long at the Academy, and people gradually stopped talking about it.

After all, although Hector was very famous, in this academy that held countless secrets, the death of a formal wizard was at most just something to talk about over tea.

As for the final outcome regarding the Heruno family, most people are unaware of it.

Perhaps they have temporarily shelved the matter and allocated the resources that belonged to Hector to other promising new wizards from other families.

Or perhaps Hector's branch of the clan has not given up and is planning to rely on the Soyavaren family, who are backed by him, to ask a second-level prophetic wizard from the wizarding plane to help investigate.

After all, everyone knows that in the cruel wizarding world, the dead have no value whatsoever, and only the living will keep climbing up the ladder every moment.

As for the person who started all of this—Hughes.

He did have a clear conflict with Hector, but no one connected this seemingly ordinary new wizard with the so-called murderer.

He continued to travel between the spire, the laboratory, and the academy's archives as usual, exploring new and advanced knowledge like a newly ordained wizard.

Moreover, during this period he also passed the knowledge system tests of "The Three Laws of Extracting Spatial Power" and "Isomorphism of Various Domains - Oren Plane Chapter", becoming a member of these two knowledge towers.

From then on, Hughes's student life at the Tower of Triumph was on the right track.

The five knowledge systems not only guided him to gradually adapt to the identity of a formal wizard, but also laid the foundation for his subsequent independent research.

And so, two months later...

In the training room of Dylan's Spire, Hughes stood in the center of the field, patiently refining the low concentration of spatial energy in the surrounding area.

This environment was deliberately designed by the builders to train wizards in the efficiency of extracting spatial energy.

The Dylan Spire is the knowledge spire to which the "Three Laws of Extracting Spatial Power" belongs.

The knowledge system studied by this spire is about the extraction and application of spatial energy.

Its founders summarized three principles that allow wizards to extract spatial energy from space more efficiently.

And soon after, the founder also explored the field of knowledge about shaping spatial energy, which made it part of the spire.

Of course, wizards had long been involved in shaping and refining spatial energy; this founder simply developed a different method.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, there are two sets of knowledge systems available for the Dylan Spire.

Hughes naturally chose to explore both sets, since one of his main combat methods is space.

Logically speaking, the plasticity and controllability of spatial energy are far inferior to those of natural elements.

Elemental wizards can shape elements into blades, shields, or various forms with a wave of their hand, but spatial wizards must rely on magic to transform spatial energy into tangible spatial magic.

Therefore, if he could condense spatial energy into blades, shields, or other forms and use them directly in battle without relying on witchcraft, it would undoubtedly be a great help to him.

— Buzzing

However, just as Hughes was practicing, a faint buzzing sound suddenly came from the communication crystal in his pocket.

"call out--"

Just as he pulled it out, a flash of crimson appeared.

He naturally noticed this scene, but his face did not show any confusion. Instead, he muttered to himself:

"Finally, there's news!"

Immediately, the communication crystal was activated, and the latest message was displayed:

See you at your dorm at 1 a.m.

There was only one sentence, and the last line was a blood-red communication mark, which was the one left behind by Ilya.

Regarding the matter of Barossa and Valerius, Hughes commissioned two people to investigate.

He first asked Elena, who was also a member of the High Rings, to secretly investigate Barossa, under the pretext of suspecting that Barossa was secretly on good terms with Hector, in an attempt to indirectly deduce the secrets hidden by the other party.

As for Valerius, Hughes entrusted the task to Iluia, whose whereabouts were unknown.

After all, he had realized that Iluya held a high position among the vampires—Vallerius must have held her in awe, otherwise he would never have invited her to visit his treasury.

His reason for commissioning the investigation was also straightforward, and he didn't need to deceive Elena like he did.

Simply say that you suspect Valerius has ulterior motives for coming to the Tower of Triumph, perhaps to continue investigating the person who infiltrated your secret vault.

As for whether Iluya is in the center of the continent?

In fact, from the very beginning, after Hughes entered the center of the continent, he knew that Iluya had also entered.

Because at that time, the communication signal from Iluya's communication mark on his communication crystal had not weakened at all, indicating that she was still in the same region as him.

To Hughes' surprise, even Iluya knew the location of his dormitory.

After all, it's worth noting that last time, Hector directly provided his own dormitory space to the Black Pact Nest, which shows that the survivability of his own dormitory was extremely poor.

"Looks like I'll have to find some time to apply for... no, it looks like I'll have to find somewhere else to stay outside the college."

Hughes murmured.

He had originally wanted to apply for a private, detached dormitory, but then he realized that it would be on the college's premises and would be recorded by the college.

It would be better to secretly find a place to stay outside the academy when you have some free time, and then set up a coordinate point for going back and forth there, which would be more discreet.

After making his plans, he stepped onto the unique floating staircase of the Dylan Spire and slowly left the spire.

I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of the factions, but it seems that all the knowledge towers of spatial factions have very distinctive styles.

For example, the Dylan Spire has most of its crystals floating in the air, as if the entire tower suddenly stopped breaking apart.

Moreover, their teaching methods are mostly unique.

For example, the Ladim Spire he visited yesterday is the knowledge spire whose knowledge system is "Isomorphism of Domains".

The teaching venue was an empty space, but through the methods of a certain magic spell faction, various regions of the Oren plane were perfectly reproduced here.

The wizards responsible for teaching would then explain the spatial structure of these visualized scenes.

Soon, night fell...

Thinking of his promise to Iluya, Hughes quickly returned to his dormitory to prepare to meet her.

"..."

Hughes did not light any lamps; the room was extremely dark, with only a few rays of moonlight streaming in from the window.

He set up a simple soundproofing array on the floor, then sat down in a chair by the window, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.
