Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 27 The Nobles' Discontent, the Knights' Obsession with Guidance

Carrie's words made John's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

He originally wanted to hear Carella's sharp critique of Leo, but unexpectedly Carella suddenly started criticizing them, these ordinary knights.

Hughes remained silent, his face still youthful, his head bobbing from side to side as he curiously surveyed his surroundings.

"Lord Danville, please have a seat."

As Leo found a seat, John, sitting next to him, had a fleeting look of conflict on his face.

Just a month ago, John and Leo were classmates and budding wizards.

A month later, John has become a knight, a position lower than that of a wizard.

Just look at these seats.

John had to stand, while Leo could sit.

However, John still had an unquenchable fighting spirit within him.

It was like a sound that kept echoing in my ears.

The voice kept telling John that even though he had become a knight, he could still possibly trample Leo underfoot.

He was a nobleman who was superior to the commoners.

It was a mistake for the Tower of Dawn not to need him.

One day, he will return to the Tower of Dawn as a powerful figure.

The voice was highly seductive, uttering words that shook John's resolve.

After Leo took his seat, Eiffel said, "Wizard Danville, Wizard Hughes, let's begin with the objectives of this mission."

Eiffel placed a blank sheet of paper on the table and said, "This is a portrait of a sea monster that we commissioned a wizard to draw."

The pattern appears on the white paper.

The pattern is so lifelike.

There's also the feeling of being there during a storm.

In the storm, you can see a large fish covered in gray, stone-like scales.

Leo was somewhat surprised by this scene.

He never expected that wizards would have this kind of ability.

Eiffel said, "This is the sea monster we're going to hunt on this trip, the Stonefish."

"This stonefish has a magic pressure of 11 and its bloodline ability is unknown. However, its body is extremely tough. Even if we use the Knight's Breathing Technique to strengthen our bodies and weapons, we still cannot leave a mark on the stonefish's body."

Eiffel said with a solemn expression.

Leo had never heard of the terms "magic pressure" and "bloodline ability".

You need to learn about things you don't understand.

Leo asked, "Excuse me, Knight Eiffel, what do you mean by magical pressure and bloodline abilities?"

Upon hearing this, Carrie slammed her hand on the table and said, "Eiffel, I told you long ago that these wizard buddess are completely useless! Look, they don't even know this most basic common sense!"

Seeing that Leo was a complete novice, Eiffel was a little disappointed, but he still explained to Leo with a wry smile: "Wizard Danville, some creatures are born with the ability to use mental energy, and we can determine their specific abilities based on the amount of mental energy they possess."

"Magic pressure is the numerical value of mental energy that we can see."

"A wizard who has condensed a spiritual seed will have a magic pressure of 10 points."

"Bloodline abilities are special abilities that these creatures can use."

Leo nodded slightly, understanding.

Magic pressure is spiritual energy, and bloodline ability is magic.

The magic pressure of this stone fish is 11, which means that this stone fish is comparable to a wizard who has condensed a spiritual seed.

The thought first crossed Leo's mind.

Then, however, I felt something was wrong.

If this stone fish is truly comparable to the level of a wizard seed, then Eiffel and his knights shouldn't be looking for wizard buds like Leo; they should be looking for wizards who have condensed spiritual seeds.

Carrera slammed her hand on the table and said, "Eiffel, you're wasting too much time talking. Let me explain. In this operation, our Knights will be responsible for suppressing it. Your job, you two wizard buds, is to use your magical hands to break through its defenses while we're suppressing it. Don't get in the way at other times."

Upon hearing this, Hughes asked, "My magical hand can only conjure shields, I'm afraid it can't..."

Before Hughes could finish speaking, Carella interrupted him, saying, "Eiffel, that's why I said these wizard buddies are completely useless. They haven't even learned mental radiation yet."

Upon hearing this, Eiffel shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I'm sorry, Carrera, this time it was my fault. Because Wizard Nova and the others were urging us to set sail, I didn't have time to screen those who were assigned the mission."

Eiffel asked, "Wizard Hughes, Wizard Danville, do you know what mental radiation is?"

Hughes shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know."

Eiffel was a little disappointed, then looked at Leo, a hint of expectation rising in his eyes as he gazed at the badge on Leo's chest, and asked, "Lord Danville Wizard, and you?"

The badge on Leo's chest is proof of his abilities.

Hughes's badge is ranked 55th, while Leo's badge is ranked 7th.

At this moment, Leo was recalling and pondering the word "mental radiation" in his mind.

However, Leo had never heard of this word before.

Of course, although Leo had never heard of it, he felt that he might understand the principle of this mental radiation.

Something a wizarding novice can understand... mental radiation... has very high destructive power...

Putting all of these together, it's roughly...

Leo stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the table.

Leo put on a glove made of magical hands.

The gloves emitted that mental fluctuation.

Instantly, a handprint was corroded onto the surface of the table.

Leo asked, "Is this what you're talking about?"

Upon seeing this, Hughes looked shocked, Eiffel next to him smiled, and even Carrie's expression softened considerably.

Carrera said, "That's right, that's exactly what we need. It seems you're much better than those pretty but useless wizard seedlings."

Even though her words were harsh, Carrera still expressed her agreement with Leo.

Leo remained expressionless, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, though he was also somewhat surprised.

The effect of this mental radiation was far beyond Leo's expectations.

He had thought that many wizard buddies would know this trick, but it now seemed that only a minority of them could actually learn it.

Eiffel also looked delighted and said, "Master Danville, you will be the one to use your mental radiation to break through the stonefish's defenses, and then we will kill it."

As for Hughes, he has already been ignored by Eiffel.

Without mental radiation, Hughes couldn't break through the Stone Fish's defenses at all, and was less effective than the knights.

Seeing how highly regarded Leo was, John couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

The voice that drove him mad grew louder and louder in his mind.

Leo nodded and said, "No problem."

Carrera said, "Eiffel, it's not enough to just say it. Listen carefully, Wizard Seedling, what you need to do is use your mental radiation to break through its defenses when we've determined the right moment and think it's ready. Don't try to kill it; you don't have that ability."

"We'll decide the timing; we'll kill the stonefish after we break it open."

"Until the time comes, you just need to stand by and do nothing."

"I've worked with you wizard buddies many times before. You have a particular fondness for acting impulsively, which disrupts our rhythm and causes us to miss the opportunity to unleash your mental radiation."

"Especially you Pros, your favorite thing to do in battle is to act on your own."

"When the time comes, you only need to remember one thing. If we tell you to do something, then you do it; if we don't tell you to do something, then you just stand there and do nothing."

Leo raised an eyebrow and said, "Sorry, the condition I agreed to come here was that I would make my own judgment. If I determine that this is not the right time, then I will not take action."

Leo would not entrust the decision-making power in battle to a group of strangers.

"What did you say?!" Carrera slammed her hand on the table, her expression furious.
