Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 31, Eye Cube, includes a Rubik's Cube illustration guide.

Leo lost track of time once he started reading.

At noon, Eiffel sent a knight to invite Leo to lunch.

However, Leo refused.

When Leo came here, he made some jerky.

The meat was obtained from the lizardmen servants at Esmond's Hut.

Leo Danville, a former soldier, often ate outdoors and carried his own food, so he was quite adept at making this kind of jerky.

Not long after Leo picked up the jerky, Hughes came and sat down next to him.

Hughes was holding a long loaf of bread in his hand.

After sitting down, Hughes took a bite of bread. The bread looked a bit stiff, and Hughes had some difficulty biting into it.

After swallowing his bread, Hughes asked, "Danville, you're from the Esmond Gathering, aren't you?"

Leo glanced at the badge on Hughes's chest and said, "That's right."

Hughes said, "I come from the Almon Assembly."

Leo nodded.

For these new students, the affiliation of the assembly was displayed on their badges.

When Leo first met Hughes, he knew he came from the Almon Gathering.

However, Leo didn't care about this.

Tesla the Wizard and the teaching assistant at the Almon Gathering did have a conflict, but that had nothing to do with Leo.

Hughes said, "At our Almon Gathering, apart from one Level 5 mental genius, I feel that everyone else is inferior to you."

"You flatter me too much," Leo said with a smile.

Hughes held the flat bread in his hand, took a big bite, and stuffed his cheeks full.

"Danville, are you aware that there will be an exchange meeting between our gatherings this month? Our Almon gathering and your Esmond gathering will be part of the same exchange meeting."

"I know."

Leo nodded; in fact, it wasn't just the Almon gathering.

The Uriel gathering, where Ryan was located, was also part of this exchange.

Hughes said, "You'd better be careful of that level 5 mental talent wizard buddy in our gathering at the exchange meeting. Our teaching assistant instructed him to target your Esmond gathering specifically during the meeting."

Leo frowned first, then said, "You're also from the Almon gathering, right? Why did you tell me about your teaching assistant's plans?"

"First, I don't like our teaching assistant and him. Second, I have high hopes for you; you're a promising wizard who can be personally mentored by Wizard Nova. He must think highly of you, so this is an investment in you."

"That might disappoint you," Leo shrugged and said, "Maybe they'll target me at the rally and I won't get good results."

"It's alright, it's just a trivial piece of information anyway," Hughes said with a smile. "Even if they succeed, I won't lose out. I'd be even happier if you didn't."

Leo dismissed Hughes's claim of targeting him as completely unfounded.

Why target each other at an exchange meeting? How childish!

After finishing the jerky, Leo continued reading.

I don't know how much time passed.

The ship sailed towards a sea area where a reddish liquid was shimmering.

Leo slowly closed the book, and a gentle prompting voice appeared in his mind.

"Inferior quality Basic Magical Arts illustration found. Would you like to add it to the catalog?"

"Already included."

Leo's gaze fell on the pale reddish seawater beside him, knowing that their destination was near. He found Nova and said, "Wizard Nova, I'm about to begin the hunt. Here's your book back. Otherwise, your precious book might get damaged during the hunt."

Nova's growing appreciation for Leo's love of books only deepened as he looked at him.

Nova took the book, and without any apparent movement, the book in his hand vanished.

Nova said, "Danville, the stonefish you're hunting is located near the Crimson Sea."

"The deep red sea is the most dangerous place in this ocean."

"It contains many sea monsters that even wizards can kill."

"This place is close to the Crimson Sea. Although there won't be any terrifying sea monsters here, it won't be easy for you to deal with them."

After thinking for a moment, Nova added, "The stonefish you are going to hunt have the bloodline of the ancient stone sea dragon. Their bloodline ability allows them to wear sturdy stone scales that are difficult for even mental radiation to penetrate directly."

"I, Fura, and Camon are just fellow travelers; we will not offer you any assistance."

"If the ship sinks, we will use magic to escape."

"You all have to rely on yourselves."

Leo nodded and walked towards the bow of the ship.

Eiffel and more than twenty knights were already waiting here.

John was not among them.

The Knights Order is divided into two types: ordinary knights and great knights.

Although knights cannot compete with wizards, they are still ranked within the knightly order.

The Grand Knight's status is comparable to that of a wizard who condenses the seed of spirit.

Ordinary knights correspond to wizard budding talents like Leo.

Of all the great knights on the ship, only Eiffel and Carella were present.

The two stood in front, gazing at a giant stonefish active in the sea.

This stonefish is exactly the same as the stonefish I saw in the wizard's white paper before.

A massive body that is over ten meters long.

Swimming in the sea.

What floated on the surface of the sea were patches of stone scales.

Eiffel said, "Wizard Danville, you've arrived."

Leo nodded slightly, recalling Nova's previous introduction to the Crimson Sea, and took out a Rubik's Cube.

Leo spins the Rubik's Cube.

An eyeball was released into the air.

This eyeball is the vertical pupil of a wild beast.

Faint blood vessels appeared around the eyes.

This is the Eye Cube, a magical item that Leo purchased earlier.

Leo channeled his spiritual energy, creating four eyeballs around the hull.

The sight of those eyeballs sent chills down the spines of the knights.

One of the knights remarked, "The things wizards use are still so terrifying."

"I've heard from some old knights that we knights used to be materials on wizards' experimental tables."

"Given the wizards' madness, it wouldn't be surprising if we really became materials on their experimental tables."

The knights murmured, their words filled with awe for the wizards.

Eiffel and Carrera were used to wizards, so they didn't feel much at this moment.

"Wizard Danville," Eiffel said, "is this an eyeball cube?"

"That's right, I will distribute four eyeballs around the perimeter, so that if other sea monsters or other interfering factors appear, I can detect them in time."

Seeing Leo's caution, Eiffel smiled and said, "Thank you, Wizard Danville, for taking this matter so seriously."

The hunt for the sea monster began soon.

Leo was curious about how Eiffel and the others planned to hunt the stonefish.

The knights were bound by a thick rope.

This rope is tied to the railing of the ship.

Then, the knights discarded their armor and jumped into the sea.

As they landed in the sea, the knights were enveloped in a dazzling silver-white light.

This is the Knight's Breathing Technique.

After using the Knight Breathing Technique, these knights walked on water as if it were flat ground.

"This is..." Leo was a little surprised.

A knight standing nearby, seeing Leo's surprise, said with a hint of pride, "Lord Danville Wizard, this is our knight's breathing technique. Although it is not as versatile as your wizards' abilities, after using it, not only can it enhance oneself and weapons, but it can also allow one to walk freely on fluid like this."

Leo could hear the knight's pride in his voice.

For these knights, being able to surpass wizards in some aspect is probably something to be very proud of.
