Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

With many wizards returning to the outskirts of the continent to provide support, the riot, which was caused by a lower race, was quelled.

Meanwhile, many wizards vaguely sensed something from their various unusual behaviors, but fortunately, the Golden Crown seemed to have already sent people.

Most importantly, the roads in the wilderness were now much safer, so much so that the Craig family's convoy arrived in Cordia City a day later.

The process of entering the city was the same as before. After passing through the blue light membrane used for detection, the group successfully entered the city.

(As mentioned in episode 251, Hughes had been there.)

The subsequent resettlement process went very smoothly. With his status as a member of the Tower of Ten Thousand Edges, Hughes easily purchased a nice enchanted mansion in the upper city, as well as a large resource point.

With only a few days left before returning to the battlefield, he stayed there to tend to the mutated plants at this resource point.

In addition, he also took the time to perform a biological modification on the Grand Knight Oro...

"Thump! Thump!!"

After the biological modification was completed, Olo immediately found an open space to practice his swordsmanship.

He seemed to have undergone a transformation; although his face was still aged, his white hair was now faintly mixed with black.

The weapon he was wielding at that moment was a black heavy sword forged from demonic metal.

In terms of weight alone, this sword is ten times heavier than ordinary ones. At this moment, the blade does not produce a whistling sound when it is slashing, but rather a muffled sound of air being pounded.

"Thump! Thump!"

"..."

Upstairs, Hughes stood in front of an open window, looking at the scene outside while using his mental power to observe Olo's various data.

In this modification, he replaced the less-than-perfect heart of the mountain demon with the heart of a rockback troll.

The most direct effects are increased lifespan and enhanced strength.

After confirming that the renovation had proceeded without incident, he looked away and closed the window securely.

"Creak—"

In the room, Hughes paced back and forth for a moment before sitting down on the bed.

The next second, a silver light suddenly shone, and he disappeared from the spot.

"call out--"

When he opened his eyes again, Hughes was already back at his residence in Wiesholm.

He looked around and, seeing nothing unusual in the room, went straight into the basement.

"clatter--"

A moment later, Hughes sat down in a chair. In front of him was an empty table with only a silver ring lying on it.

This was the one he had taken from Mo'er, and the place of life was sealed there by him.

"Is the Land of Living Life really just... a storage space to house living beings?"

As Hughes spoke, he reached out and gently stroked the ring with his fingertips.

Creating a storage space that can hold living beings is indeed very difficult. Even spatial magic that can temporarily achieve a similar effect requires at least level three.

What's more, this has a permanent effect.

However, Hughes had a vague feeling that this so-called "Land of Life" must have another purpose.

Take the first ring for example. The meditation method and Esso language insights sealed inside the ring not only gave him the capital to stand firm in the wizarding world.

It also endowed it with two spells, [Gap Anchoring] and [Gap Shattering Impact], which were enough to shake the entire wizarding world.

The third ring can even sense the position of all the rings in the plane.

Therefore, this "Living Land" sealed in the second ring must also have a deeper purpose.

"Hmm... I'll go."

With that in mind, Hughes decided to go in and take a look for himself.

He immediately reached out, stroking the ring while softly chanting a spell:

"wohu iduogu ​​oni deyiji"

As soon as the incantation ended, the ring suddenly lit up.

"Bang—!"

The next second, Hughes vanished from his spot.

The ring remained lying quietly on the table, as if nothing had ever happened.

"..."

"call out--"

Meanwhile, within the Land of Living.

With a flash of silver light, Hughes's figure suddenly appeared and then fell into a forest.

"Thump—"

He stood up and slowly scanned his surroundings.

It must be said that the "Land of Living" seems to be no different from the secret realm. The sky above is an artificial sky, and the air is filled with rich magic.

The forest before us is filled with all sorts of demonic plants, which have been carefully planted together to form a complete ecosystem.

But this place is just a magical plant garden that Kashidurin casually planted.

Thinking of this, Hughes immediately took out a map from his storage bag.

The drawing above depicts the terrain of the entire "Land of Life" and the distribution of the various enchanted plants that Kashidullin has planted here.

He had "asked" all of this about Moll before...

During the hundreds of years that Kassidulin was in charge, the "Land of Life" had been transformed into a space specifically for cultivating enchanted plants.

As a result, this space has now been mainly divided into three major areas, namely the three major demonized plant gardens.

Hughes is currently in the very center of Botanical Garden No. 1, which mainly cultivates the types of enchanted plants that the Kasidolin family is most skilled at.

As for the No. 2 botanical garden, it was planted with plants that were learned from Theronier.

And number three... is the trial planting site for the Tree of Life.

While blasphemy against the Tree of Life will certainly be judged, it will not be counted if the purpose is to "plant" it.

Otherwise, the Tree of Life could not have spread across countless planes bearing traces of wizards.

Therefore, many elves also tried to cultivate the Tree of Life themselves.

And Kasidurin was one of them.

"The Tree of Life...?"

Thinking of this, Hughes felt he needed to visit Botanical Garden No. 3, since he had a "sapling of the Tree of Life" in his possession.

"clatter……"

A moment later, Hughes walked to a relatively empty place, but this was not the No. 3 Botanical Garden, but the research room of the No. 1 Botanical Garden.

Each botanical garden has a research lab that contains illustrations of the corresponding mutated plants, as well as related research.

His purpose in coming here was to leave teleportation points in the three research labs after he had done a thorough search.

"Hmm...not bad, not bad..."

The research room is a wooden house, but its layout is very ingenious, like a library.

The plant that records knowledge about various mutated plants is a mutated plant called "Record Vine".

They hang neatly on the wall, and one can obtain various classified plant knowledge simply by probing with one's mental energy.
