Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Moreover, the rest of the tower was also in a state of devastation.

The white crystals were covered with cracks of all sizes, indicating that a similar explosion had occurred, but with far less power than the one at the top.

This has made the entire spire teeter on the brink of collapse; the once magnificent and noble tower of knowledge is now almost on the verge of crumbling.

"How could this happen?"

Looking at the spire that was almost reduced to ruins, Hughes was undoubtedly shocked.

Putting aside the fact that this is an important place in the academy, the white crystals that make up this tower of knowledge are a material that is difficult to damage even with first-level sorcery.

Moreover, judging from the traces at the scene, this was not caused by an experimental accident, but by deliberate sabotage.

With that thought in mind, Hughes slowly landed.

After his identity was verified, he successfully passed through the magic barrier and arrived at the crumbling Koya Spire.

By this time, a crowd had already gathered in front of the tower. Hughes glanced around and saw that there were wizards from the Tower of Order as well as a group of wizards from the Koya Spire.

Of course, those that weren't sent to Kudo Snow Mountain are among them.

The two sides were discussing something at the moment, but it seemed that the people of Koya Spire were being questioned by the wizards of the Tower of Order.

Just as Hughes was considering how to intervene, a voice that sounded somewhat familiar to him suddenly came from the crowd.

"Is that Hughes?"

He looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the speaker was Tilly, one of the wizards he knew well in the Tower of Koya.

"Is it really you? You're back? Where is Lord Clotilde?"

After confirming that it was indeed Hughes, Tilly walked over and looked puzzled when he saw that the other man was alone.

"Something seems to have happened there as well, Tilly."

Hughes walked up to Tyrell and briefly explained the situation to him.

"What! Something's happened on your end too?!"

After he finished recounting the events, Tilly's expression immediately changed, and he revealed a sinister look.

"It's Mena! It's all that girl's fault! The current state of our Spire is all her doing!"

Upon hearing this name, Houston was immediately taken aback:

"Mena? The Mena who detected the Cold Storage Worm King's nest?"

Although I was a little surprised, the fact that she was the mastermind behind it all made a lot of things clear.

After all, it was she who detected the location, and given her status, she certainly had the ability to tamper with the specially made communication crystal.

only……

Hughes asked in confusion:

Why did she do that? Who is she anyway?

Upon hearing this, Tilly pulled him aside to a corner and then said in a deep voice:

"We've all been fooled by her! She's not human at all, but... a level-two ice elemental life form with a true name!"

Upon hearing this, Hughes was startled.

He immediately thought of Flora, the second-level ice elemental life form who was imprisoned in the deepest part of the top of the Koya Spire and also had a real name.

Sure enough, Tilly's next words confirmed his vague suspicions.

"She infiltrated our academy to rescue the ice elemental being imprisoned in our spire, and... to completely destroy the Eye of Erdos."

As he spoke, he turned and glanced at the spire again.

"Our tower master modified the Eye of Erdos to enable it to track Flora's whereabouts permanently, so even though she escaped from the spire several times, she was always able to be captured by us again."

"And they knew that they could only escape completely by destroying the Eye of Erdos, so they had already planned it: one of them would be captured by us again, while the other would disguise herself as a human and infiltrate the academy..."

"Until these past few days, when the Tower Master was away and you were about to embark on a mission to the Kudo Snow Mountain, she finally took advantage of the situation and succeeded."

At this point, Tilly's expression darkened further, after all, he was about to graduate from the Spire, but this had happened.

"Now our Spire is completely finished. Not only have the ice elemental life forms escaped, but the precious Eye of Erdos has also been destroyed. In the end, even the Spire itself, which carried the knowledge system, has become like this."

"..."

"What happened to those two ice elemental beings? Did they just escape from the academy?"

Hughes frowned, wondering where the two had gone.

"Yes...it would be easy for them to escape; they could just use the teleportation array on the spire."

Tilly nodded.

"Krotir is going to Mount Kudo, leaving only Mena, a 'Level Two Wizard,' in the Spire. Therefore, before leaving, the Spire Master granted her the highest level of access."

As he spoke, he glanced at the group questioning them about being wizards of the Tower of Order, then changed the subject:

"But they can't go back to the Ice Elemental Plane... so they must still be somewhere in the Oren Plane."

Flora was summoned by the tower master of the Koya Spire, and she was a physical entity summoned without being a phantom.

As for Mena, no one knows her actual situation at present.

In short, now that they have descended into the Oren plane, they can no longer return to the Ice Elemental plane.

Unless, of course, they can go to the wizarding plane.

This is mainly because the Wizarding Plane only granted the Oren Plane the authority to summon, but not the authority to recall.

Even for powerful beings with true names, they are restricted to summoning only phantom images.

This is true not only in the Oren plane, but also in most other sub-planes.

The reason for this is that they fear wizards might use these elemental lifeforms to travel to the elemental planes, and then use them to travel to the wizarding planes that are "adjacent" to them.

This is why most elemental wizards in different planes nowadays choose to use soul stones or secret source technology to summon elemental life forms.

After all, if they were summoned directly from the elemental plane, once the elemental life forms were used up, they would have nowhere to go back and would forever occupy a portion of their spiritual power.

Unless, kill them, but that would be a waste.

"..."

After learning the details, Hughes bid farewell to Tyre and headed towards the Koya Spire to see the actual situation...

He remembered that he still had some things at the Koya Spire, though none of them were anything important.

He also undoubtedly loathed the two ice elemental lifeforms, since the spire was blown up like this and the facilities on it were probably unusable.

In this case, my research on "The Secret Source of Frost Breath" will undoubtedly be greatly hindered.

……

Unfortunately, before Hughes could even get close to the spire, the wizard of the Tower of Order summoned him over.

Although he wasn't present at the time, he is currently the only wizard in the room who was sent to Mount Kudo, so he knows a lot of different information.

A few minutes later, after Hughes recounted his experiences on the mission and his "lucky" return to Mount Kudo, the wizard of the Order Tower ended his interrogation.
