Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

After the glass cover was opened, Hughes did not reach out to take it immediately.

To control the Erga Silver, one must first establish a mental connection with the silver pouch contained within it.

So he then closed his eyes and quietly sent a wisp of his spiritual energy through the entire piece of Urga Silver.

Before long, he sensed the silver pouch at the very center of the Erga silver.

If the Urga worm is smaller than an ant, then the silver sac inside its body is something that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

But this one is now significantly larger, almost the same size as the Urga bug.

Clearly, this is a product modified by wizards, allowing them to control more Urga Silver.

As for whether it still has the function of secreting Erga silver, that is obviously impossible. After all, the secretion of Erga silver is essentially the result of the combined action of all the organs of the Erga worm.

"..."

Soon, Hughes established a mental connection with the silver pouch.

He could feel a strange spiritual connection between himself and the silver pouch, somewhat like the feeling of establishing a connection with a magical artifact.

The next moment, with a slight thought from Hughes, the writhing mass of Erga silver on the display stand suddenly stopped.

"Whoosh!"

Immediately afterwards, the Erga Silver Block transformed into a pool of liquid metal, which then flowed down from the display stand under his guidance and rushed towards him like a stream of water.

"Splash! Splash!!"

In an instant, the fluid metal climbed up his legs and then spread upwards.

Once it completely enveloped his body, the previously soft, water-like metallic fluid quickly hardened and solidified into a set of light, silver armor that fit his body perfectly.

The nail surface did not have a metallic sheen, but rather a faint silver sheen, as if moonlight had gently covered it.

Then he began to try bending his knees and raising his arms... the whole set of movements was clean and neat, without any hesitation.

Clearly, the sculpted light armor had little weight, as if it were integrated with his body.

However, this did not meet his expectations.

"Hiss... Is it possible to only create a light armor style using mental power alone?"

Inside the helmet, Hughes, who had just broken free from the silver pouch, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It seems we still need to find a sorcerer to forge it and give the Urga Silver Ingot 'memory'."

Even though activated metals can be freely shaped by mental power, wizards usually forge them.

However, this forging process is somewhat special because its tools are not hammers and fire, but mental energy.

This entire process of spiritual forging is actually about leaving a "memory" of shaping on the activated metal.

With these "memories," wizards can then use their mental power to trigger the activation of metals, causing them to be quickly reshaped into the pre-set form in the "memories."

Hughes had already conceived of this: he planned to reshape the Urga Silver into soft armor, or even into a more ordinary form of clothing.

After all, this way, the protective gear can be perfectly hidden inside his Blink set without hindering his movements.

Finally, with another thought, the hardened metal softened and slowly peeled off his skin, eventually turning back into a pool of silvery fluid.

After collecting the flowing Erga Silver in a container, Hughes prepared to leave the secret chamber. The ripples on his body did not dissipate, and thus he passed through the crystal door once again.

Before leaving the treasure vault, he also made a point to place a teleportation point in a corner.

This is to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, so that if necessary, he can secretly teleport over.

He wasn't worried at all that Nettil would find out, since the essence of the gap anchor was to make the teleportation point a part of the spatial structure.

Even if the other party perceives things in great detail, all they can detect are the original spatial structure traces of this area, with no traces of human intervention whatsoever.

"..."

After emerging from the underwater ruins, Hughes teleported directly back to his residence in Wiesholm.

He then took out a box-shaped container from the basement, and inside it was the previously activated silver.

As long as there is magic, activated silver can automatically regenerate the lost parts.

Therefore, after being nourished by magic for several months, the activated silver had completely returned to its original state and was now wriggling slightly in the container, almost overflowing.

Compared to Erga silver, activated silver has a less bright surface and does not gleam with silver luster; it is just like an ordinary piece of metal, a piece of flowing silver.

Now that Hughes has the Erga Silver, he no longer intends to use the Living Silver Armor.

Of course, this doesn't mean he's going to sell it.

After all, activated silver is a relatively rare material, and if its quality is upgraded to the maximum, it will be enough for a level 3 wizard to use.

Therefore, he planned to keep it for his necromancer servants who would later be more spiritually inclined.

As for Mr. Poison Demon and Nister now.

Although they barely possess the strength of a formal wizard or a level one magical beast, their intelligence is not high, and they cannot freely mobilize their mental power, thus they cannot control the living silver.

"But speaking of which, why hasn't Delipe contacted me yet?"

After carefully putting the activated silver away, Hughes took out his communication crystal.

Seeing the box of activated silver reminded him of the hot-tempered Delipe and the promise he had made to him.

"Didn't that guy say he wanted to try out dragon flames? I'm still waiting for him to take me to see dragons."

He murmured to himself, then glanced at the corner of the crystal in his hand.

There, the communication mark representing Delipe was clearly lit up, indicating that the other party had also arrived at the Maranseur Center.

However, the other party has not contacted me yet.

"The communication traces are still there, so they shouldn't be dead... Could it be that they were captured by the Golden Ring Crown?"

"No, I don't think I saw him on the list of illegal immigrants."

According to their original plan, once Hughes was promoted to a formal wizard, Delipe would use his connections to smuggle him to the center of Maranthelle.

Next, they would search for the newborn fire dragon and have Delip bathe in its flames.

Before his promotion, he had already legally entered the center of Maranseur as a champion and become a legal resident there.

He had already informed Delipe of his situation before entering the Holy Wall.

Of course, he did not mention his identity as the champion, only saying that he had found a way to get to the Maranseaux Centre.

Unfortunately, to this day, Delipe has only replied with "I understand" and has not been heard from since, even though he has arrived at the Maranseur Center.

"..."

Little did Xiu Si know that at the very moment he was wondering, in the distant region of Makdira...
