Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"The Natural Codex and the spirits of the Chelca family?"

Hughes raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, seemingly knowing what Bilim was talking about.

"Those wizards who came to our academy for an exchange program? They arrived so quickly?"

Who knows?

Bilim shrugged, his tone full of curiosity about these visitors from afar.

"They seem to have arrived via a jump tunnel; how extravagant."

Hughes nodded noncommittally, then stroked his chin and lowered his eyes in deep thought...

After spending more than a year at the Continental Center, he gradually became familiar with the situation of the Continental Center's branches, especially those of the main campus.

In general, the center of the continent is divided into five regions: Maddya, Maddira, Maddim, Maddid, and Maddimmon.

These five regions are then each governed by one of the five five-ring families of the Golden Ring Crown.

As for the very center of the continent, that is the location of the Golden Ring Crown—the core stronghold jointly built by the five ring families.

It is said that the so-called "teleporter" is located here, because wizards who are granted permission to travel to the Wizarding Dimension must undergo a teleportation ritual at the Golden Crown.

The so-called main campus also consists of five schools, each located in one of these five areas.

For example, the Vientiane Minaret located in the Madedia region, and the Natural Secrets located in the Madedia region.

In addition, there are two wizarding academies: Waldo's Workshop and the Hengjin Chanter.

As for the last wizarding academy, the main campus of the Nature Speaker Wizarding Academy, it is the Chelka family itself.

This is because the Chelka family is not a family of the same bloodline in the traditional sense.

After all, the only person who truly has the surname "Chirka" is the only pure-blooded elf in the Oren plane: Seronil Chirka.

Therefore, the "Chilka family" is essentially a wizarding academy that uses a family model to conduct research and pass on wizarding knowledge.

The core of the academy consists of families that have been given the surname Chilka, in addition to other sub-elf families with different surnames.

The reason they were located in five different regions was twofold: first, to avoid resource conflicts, and second, to balance the power of the five major families.

After all, apart from the Chelka family, the other four are academies that came to the Oren plane. They are backed by other forces in the wizarding plane and have no direct connection with the Golden Ring Crown.

Therefore, their choice of sides is extremely important.

To maintain balance, the four academies were each located in a different region, and they all assumed good relations with the families in that region.

As for the Chelka family, who have no academy ties, they are somewhat special, since the only true five-ring family is Theronnil, so they are not included by default.

In order to promote the development of the Oren plane, wizards from the five academies would also visit the other four academies to exchange ideas, which was essentially to exchange the unique knowledge of each academy and learn from each other's experiences.

This year, it's the turn of the wizarding academies from the two regions adjacent to the Magdia region—Nature's Codex and the Chelka Family—to come to the Vanirmont for academic exchange.

Correspondingly, some wizards from the Tower of Ten Thousand Edges will soon travel to these two academies for exchanges.

Hughes had only been at the Spire of Ten Thousand Peaks for a little over a year, so it wasn't his turn to participate in the exchange.

But what made him ponder was not the exchange itself, but the Chelka family who came to exchange ideas.

At the Natural Speakers Academy on the outskirts of the continent, they select candidates to go to the center of the continent, to study at the Chelka family's home, through a competition called the Holy Branch Trial.

But there is another way to get there directly.

That is to rely on outstanding talent and the identity of the Golden Ring family to achieve the goal of going directly to the center of the continent through the specific assessment set up by the Golden Ring Crown.

As far as Hughes knew, among the apprentices who had successfully entered the heart of the continent through this method in recent years, there happened to be one he knew very well.

That is Mor's older brother, Tyr Cheese, who is now studying at the Cherca family!

Tyr is a human-half-elf and was previously a wizard apprentice at the Academy of Nature Speakers.

Therefore, without a doubt, if he enters the center of the continent, he will definitely go to the Chelka family for further studies.

Moreover, Tyre arrived at the continental center a few years earlier than him, so considering the timeline, with his qualifications, he had the opportunity to come to the Vulture Peak for exchanges.

—So… will Tyr come back to find me?

Hughes thought to himself, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes, mixed with a hint of fighting spirit.

Hughes was certain that the Chiss family knew about Moore's death during the Five Crown Trials.

But he wasn't sure if the other party knew that he had killed Moore.

But there is no doubt that the task that Cassidy Durin entrusted to the Chiss family must continue to be completed.

As for who among them is most likely to get close to him right now, it must be Tyre, who is in the same place as him.

Therefore, Hughes had to be wary that Tyre might take this opportunity to come to the Tower of Trials and steal his ring.

In a way, Hesius should "thank" the Chis family.

After all, if they hadn't controlled his servants to poison him, he wouldn't have been able to trigger the forbidden spell "Resurrection" and become the only one capable of casting that spell.

Thinking of this, Hughes chuckled and shook his head, then continued with his experiment.

"..."

On the way, Hughes noticed that there were indeed many more elf and half-elf faces in the academy, or more accurately, sub-elves.

Presumably, they must be the wizards who came to exchange ideas.

Actually, it's quite simple to distinguish between pure-blooded elves and sub-elves.

That is their aura, the aura originating from the symbolic blood within their bodies.

This aura is very special and can help other races quickly identify pure-blooded elves.

As for appearance alone, apart from their bright white skin, handsome faces, and distinctive pointed ears, pure-blooded elves are no different from ordinary humans.

As for the sub-elves, they will grow many special physical characteristics that are closely related to their living environment.

For example, forest elves' fur occasionally sprouts vines or flowers, sea elves grow gill lobes on both sides of their necks, and fire elves' skin has a certain resistance to fire, and their hair may even catch fire...

Some wizards speculate that this may be closely related to the Tree of Life that they have guarded for generations, and is also a natural manifestation of their bloodline's extreme bias towards a certain element.

As for the sub-elf that looks most like a pure-blooded elf, it is undoubtedly the forest elf.

Because they have the fewest special features, and not all forest elves have plants growing between their fur.

Some of them, which did not grow any plants, looked exactly like pure-blooded elves.

At the same time, the Forest Elf is now implicitly considered the leader among the subspecies of elves.
