Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"But...I...I really sensed something unusual about that Hughes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bloody light in Vacarius's hand dissipated, and he finally put Barossa back on the ground.

"Are you really sure about what you told me before?"

"Valellius said coldly."

Barossa had previously reported to him that he sensed a trace of Osiris's aura on the badge belonging to the man named Hughes Craig.

However, he was too busy with matters concerning both the Golden Ring and the Vampire Clan to pay attention to this matter.

Furthermore, he and this "disciple" had only just met through Bevik, and they were not familiar with each other.

Therefore, he naturally didn't take what the other person said to heart.

However, after spending time together, he also witnessed the other party's keen sense of smell, which far surpassed that of magical beasts.

Furthermore, the fact that the other party went so far as to bring in their accomplices to join the operation made him truly take this matter seriously...

"Yes, yes... Lord Valerius, I already smelled it when we came out of the Bloodbone Rift."

Barossa answered haltingly, while enduring the impact of the force field.

"Later, I approached him several more times and found that the smell was still there, but it was coming from the storage bag, and it should still be that badge."

As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure on him suddenly dissipated.

"That's indeed strange. Back then, besides you... no one should have known that the so-called 'points' were Osiris."

Valerius had already removed the crimson field and then turned and walked to the window.

"Even if Hughes knew about this, what use is Osiris's blood to a human like him?"

"Yes, I find it strange too."

Barossa immediately responded.

"Until later, I vaguely...smelled another scent on him..."

At this point, his voice began to tremble with excitement.

"It's... the scent of our missing princess."

"clatter--"

Upon hearing this, Valerius on the other side suddenly turned around.

"Her? The eldest daughter of the Vasiti family?"

The frequently missing princess is the child of the current vampire king, Komorod Vasiti, born more than twenty years ago, and is also the future heir to the throne.

Of course, this is all before Osiris's resurrection.

If Osirien were to return, the entire Vasiti family would be the first to become his servants due to the soul blood pact established by their ancestor, Viser Vasiti.

That is why the vampires are not in a hurry to find the princess.

After all, once Osiris is resurrected and the soul blood pact is re-established, then no member of the entire Vasiti family will be able to hide.

But now, at this critical moment for the vampires, he has learned of their whereabouts, which has stirred up a storm in Valerius's heart.

"Aldec, are you really sure?"

In his desperation, he even blurted out Barossa's real name.

Barossa immediately nodded, stating confidently:

"Yes, but nothing happened after that..."

He then seized the opportunity to immediately defend himself:

"Lord Valerius, it was because I suspected that Nathius was connected to the princess that I summoned Bacarda to examine him with the Bevik mark."

"result?"

"Hughes doesn't have Bevik's mark on him, but that doesn't rule out the possibility that he hasn't been in contact with the princess. It just means that he wasn't controlled by her."

This is what Barossa is most worried about.

Nashius had contact with a vampire, but was not controlled by him.

That can only mean that either he killed that vampire, or he had already informed the Golden Ring Crown of the vampire's existence.

"Lord Valerius, I've had someone test him several times already. That Hughes is very strong, I'm afraid..."

Needless to say, he feared that the princess had already fallen victim to Hughes's cruelty.

But to everyone's surprise, Valerius scoffed and remained completely indifferent.

"Ha, what are you so afraid of? Even if that Hughes is strong, can he be stronger than our princess?"

He smiled and shook his head, then went back to the window.

What few people know is that Komorod only had one child, which was not actually his own wish.

He reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​having children to prevent his children from killing each other.

For some special reason, his child will definitely possess the most unique characteristic of vampires—the ability to drink the blood of their own kind.

Vampires, possessing these characteristics, will instinctively absorb the blood of their siblings after birth, regardless of whether they possess reason, to enhance their own talents.

This characteristic has only been observed in the symbolic blood of one vampire throughout history.

That was Osiris Rajis, the former supreme ruler of the vampires.

However, his characteristics are even more powerful.

This is because he can absorb blood from not only his own siblings to become stronger, but from all vampires.

"..."

However, Valerius was not prepared to reveal this secret information to Barossa, or rather, Aldec.

This is because, whether it's Aldek or Bakarka... this new generation of vampires was personally taught by Bevic and even brought along by Maransel for training.

And, the princess who hasn't returned for many years.

From the very beginning, it was nothing more than a "feast" they had prepared for the resurrected Osiris.

After enjoying the feast, the reborn Osiris will surely return to his peak.

And this is their fourth plan for the revival of the vampire race:

By sacrificing the young bloodlines of the thirteen holy blood families, Osiris's supreme power is restored, allowing the pinnacle vampire king to once again reign supreme over Maransel!

Thinking of this, Valerius turned his face to the side, his gaze sweeping coldly over Barossa kneeling behind him.

"I will get involved in Hughes's matter. After I retrieve the remaining Osiris flesh from the Blood and Bone Secret Realm of the Myriad Spire, I will personally confront him."

As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes had turned golden again.

"Also, have your companions set up similar attacks in the other four academies, disguising this series of terrorist attacks as the Black Ring Crown."

"Yes"

Barossa nodded, and the wounds on his body began to heal slowly.

"But sir, I don't quite understand why you keep delaying the counterattack plan?"

Upon hearing this, Valerius slowly turned around, a strange smile flashing in his eyes.

"Hehe, let me tell you this, because soon, a member of the Five Rings Family will be going to the Wizarding Plane."

Having said that, he turned around and quickly left his tower of knowledge.

Before seizing Osiris's flesh and blood, he must not allow the Golden Crown's gaze to fall upon the Myriad Spire.

Therefore, he had to meet with his colleague who had just come from afar.
