Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

"Whether Valerius betrayed us or the Black Ring and the vampires joined forces, we have yet to find any substantial evidence."

Upon hearing this, Frossis responded calmly.

"So, why don't we set another bait, just like the final trial before?"

"A decoy? You mean...?"

Upon hearing this, Rhoda seemed to be deep in thought.

"You wouldn't be thinking of...?"

……

"Lord Valerius, thank you for your intellectual contributions to the Tower of Ten Thousand Edges during this time. This is the full access to the Bloodbone Secret Realm."

A few days later, in one of the spires of the Tower of Triumph, Ramius was branding a pale white rune onto Valerius in front of him.

Ingeniously, this milky-white rune, constructed from magic, even has a faint crystalline appearance.

And this is the highest-level access token for the Blood Bone Secret Realm.

"..."

Across from him, Valerius lowered his eyes, gazing at the runes that were gradually emerging on his palm, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"With it, you can freely enter and exit the Blood Bone Secret Realm, and open any of the restrictions within it."

Ramis explained as he branded the mark.

"Our researchers have worked with you before, so I believe that this time, your research on Osiris Flesh will go even further."

"That's natural."

Upon hearing this, Valerius nodded slightly.

"With the right to come and go freely, I will have more time to conduct research and will also advance the research on vampires."

"Crunch—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the runes on his arm were finished being imprinted, making a sound like crystals rubbing together.

He looked at it and said:

"Then, Dean Ramis, how is the cultivation of Osiris's flesh and blood progressing?"

Theoretically speaking, Osiris's skeleton is now a piece of flesh with strong vitality, so it can naturally be cultivated.

Therefore, the research arrangements for Osiris's flesh and blood by the Golden Crown and the Myriad-Edge Spire are also periodic.

For example, the Five Crown Trials were held precisely during that period when no research was being conducted.

"Hmm...you want to know this?"

Upon hearing this, Ramis thought for a moment and said:

"Just as the Five Crown Trials demonstrated, its radiation range alone is comparable to that of a level two magical beast."

"Really? I understand."

Valerius seemed quite satisfied upon hearing that the flesh and blood were now comparable to level two.

"Then, Dean Ramis, I'll take my leave now."

"..."

After leaving the spire, Valerius soared into the air and flew toward his own spire of knowledge.

"Has Lord Osiris's flesh and blood reached the level of a level two magical beast?"

As he nimbly navigated between the spires, he muttered to himself.

"Not bad, not bad..."

If the flesh and blood used for resurrection are stronger, then Osiris will be stronger after resurrection, which is naturally what they hope for.

"call out--!"

Soon after, Osiris flew into his Tower of Knowledge, where only Barossa remained.

"Lord Valerius."

Upon seeing the visitor, Barossa immediately greeted him respectfully, his face clearly showing barely suppressed excitement.

"Plan, are you ready to begin?"

Upon hearing this, Valerius landed slowly and then nodded, saying:

"That's right, a new cycle of research has begun, and this time I've also obtained dean-level authority, which will benefit my future plans."

"It must be the knowledge you have demonstrated over the past two years that has completely impressed them."

Barossa immediately offered a compliment, then cautiously inquired.

"Then, Lord Valerius... may I ask, what was the matter I raised earlier...?"

"Okay, I understand."

Valerius knew what the other person was talking about, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"I'll meet this Hughes you mentioned in person in a few days."

……

Now, Valerius, who holds the highest authority over the Bloodbone Realm, has long regarded Osiris's flesh and blood as his own.

He also turned some of his attention to Hughes, who seemed to have all the clues about Project Four...

A few days later, somewhere near the Wanling Pagoda.

"Hughes, here are the gauntlets you requested."

In a room, Lapris slowly pushed a pair of ice-blue gauntlets in front of Hughes.

"Uncle Tuer is a renowned craftsman in our tribe; you can rest assured about his forging skills."

Upon hearing this, Hughes nodded and then picked up the gauntlet from the table.

And this set of gauntlets was none other than the "Frost Grip," a sorcery tool he had been using during his apprenticeship.

Now, these elven gauntlets have finally been upgraded by the elven craftsmen, becoming an elven artifact capable of being imbued with level one ice magic.

Compared to before, the overall style of this gauntlet hasn't changed much.

The only difference is that the original inlaid ice crystals were replaced with higher quality materials, and all the leather materials were replaced with a kind of enchanted metal unique to the Elven race.

Hughes, with his keen eye, also noticed that some kind of elven rune seemed to be floating inside the ice crystals now embedded in the gauntlets.

Seeing this, he pointed to the elven runes within the ice crystal and said:

"Lapris, what is this?"

Seeing this, the other party smiled and said:

"Oh, you mean this? You speak a little Elvish, so you should be able to recognize our Elven runes."

"This was added by an elven runemaster on my own; it contains several ice spells currently unique to the elven race."

Upon hearing this, Hughes immediately reached for the storage bag at his waist.

"Then I'll have to give you some more magic stones."

To everyone's surprise, Lapris waved his hand and said:

"No, consider this my reward for saving my life. After all, if you hadn't teleported away in time to call for backup, I would have really returned to the Tree of Life."

Seeing that the other party had said so, Hughes stopped what he was doing and put the gauntlets into his storage bag.

Now that he has the Blink Set, which can amplify both ice and space attribute energy, the Frost Grip, which also amplifies ice attribute energy, will naturally conflict with the set.

Fortunately, the Flash Set works by switching between these two attributes.

Therefore, when the set is converted into an amplification space attribute, he can equip this gauntlet to amplify his ice attribute.

In any case, his current mental strength is more than enough to bind another magical artifact.

"Naraprins, thank you this time, and thank you also to Master Tour and Digpegi."

Originally, he actually wanted to ask an elven craftsman to upgrade his Frost Grip through Digpeg.

However, the other party recommended Lapplins, who had already become an apprentice of a certain elven craftsman, so he then asked Lapplins for help.
