Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 42 Powerful Formal Wizards

The formal wizard said, "Gentlemen, would you please come down from the ship and say a few words to me?"

Leo and Hughes exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

The other party is a formal wizard; if they really want to harm them, there's nothing they can do.

Leo took the packed items with him and jumped down with Hughes.

However, as soon as Leo and his companion landed on the island, they witnessed the formal wizard suddenly casting a spell.

A plant resembling a trumpet flower, its buds ablaze, fell to the ground.

The plant spat out a bright red fruit toward the Knight Ship.

The fruit is shot at an extremely high speed.

Smash the railings of the knight's warship.

Flames erupted atop the enormous ship.

The flames burned fiercely, and the entire ship was reduced to ashes in an instant.

Hughes was so frightened that he jumped into the sea.

However, before Hughes could even enter the water...

A suction force was seen emanating from the hands of the formal wizard.

Hughes was pulled back in mid-air.

The formal wizard casts out a seed.

The seed quickly took root and sprouted, enveloping Hughes.

The growing plants emitted arcs of electricity, causing Hughes to scream in pain.

Hughes shouted, "I surrender! I'm not running anymore! Stop shocking me!"

The shaman smiled and extended his right hand to take the seed back.

The formal wizard looked at Leo.

Leo had been standing still since the wizard began to reprimand Hughes.

The formal wizard asked, "And you, why didn't you try to run away, or resist?"

Upon hearing this, Leo shook his head and said, "If you want to kill us, then it makes no difference whether we run or not."

The formal wizard said with surprise, "You are different from the average Pros, you are not so reckless. That is a very good quality."

He gave Leo an approving look and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, please calm down. I really have no intention of being your enemy."

Leo stood still, pondering the other party's purpose.

Although the official wizard's actions were suspicious, he clearly had no intention of killing them.

If he wanted to kill Leo and the other man, he could have killed them along with the ship, instead of letting them disembark and then destroying the ship.

Seven-colored dragon scales slipped from Leo's fingertips.

The message conveyed by the seven-colored dragon scales was that this formal wizard harbored no hostility.

The formal wizard smiled and said, "First, let me introduce myself. My name is Esmond, and I am the mentor of the Esmond Gathering at the Tower of Dawn."

Leo frowned. Something was wrong with him. He clearly heard what the man said, but the latter part of the content was like a jumbled musical score in his mind, impossible to organize into useful information.

In fact, not only what he heard, but even Esmond's face was blurry and he couldn't form an image in his mind.

After being freed from his restraints, Hughes immediately moved closer to Leo.

Leo asked in a low voice, "Hughes, can you hear what he said next?"

"I can hear you, but..." Hughes stammered.

Leo said, "I can hear him clearly, but I can't understand what he means?"

Hughes nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, that's it."

Leo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Hughes, can you see his face clearly?"

"He looks like an ordinary passerby, yet he also looks like a handsome middle-aged man, but..." Hughes was confused again when Esmond's face was mentioned.

Leo said, "I feel the same way."

Esmond watched the two whispering with a smile, without interrupting.

His gaze would occasionally fall on the badge on Leo's chest.

At this moment, a look of joy will appear in his eyes.

Esmond said, "I know my actions just now have confused you, but this is not the place to talk. Why don't you come with me to my place first, and we can talk slowly."

Leo looked back at the spot where the knight ship had been docked, but there was no trace of it left.

Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "As you wish, Wizard."

Esmond smiled with satisfaction and then walked ahead.

Leo took a step forward, ready to catch up.

Hughes then pulled Leo back, saying, "Leo, do you really want to go with him? He wrecked our ship and taught me a lesson."

Leo felt that the latter might be more important to Hughes.

Leo countered, "Do you think we have the option to refuse?"

Hughes, recalling the helplessness he felt when facing Esmond earlier, said with a wry smile, "Well, we really don't have a choice."

Hughes has just experienced firsthand what happens when you disobey a formal wizard.

Moreover, now that their ship has been destroyed, they have no choice but to obediently follow the other side.

The two followed in Esmond's footsteps.

This island is not very large.

The island has a very good natural ecological environment.

Jungle, wild beasts, and...

Leo stared at the mosquitoes flying around in front of him.

He activated his spiritual energy.

The mosquito twisted and fell to the ground, its original shape completely unrecognizable.

After becoming a wizard, Leo became even more adept at using mental radiation.

Hughes, who was standing next to him, had not yet mastered mental radiation. He reached out his hand, trying to swat the mosquito, but he couldn't hit it.

Esmond led the two to a huge plant.

This plant resembles a pea pod, and it grows as tall as a tower, reaching straight into the sky. It is estimated to be about twenty stories high.

Inside the plant, there are staircase-like passageways that lead all the way up.

Around this enormous plant are fields of flowers.

A variety of plants are grown in the flower field.

Leo's mind was filled with prompts from the illustrated guide.

"A plant that emits flames has been discovered. Should it be added to the database?"

"Discover..."

Leo's gaze fell on the plants, and a thought struck him.

These plants are all demonic plants, possessing magical pressure.

Esmond came to the base of the towering plant and went up the stairs.

Hughes followed cautiously behind.

Leo, on the other hand, looked around curiously.

The fact that this towering plant isn't listed in the encyclopedia suggests that it's likely part of the spells cast by this formal wizard.

As Leo and his companions walked through each floor, they discovered that there was a small house on that floor.

Esmond went all the way to the top.

There is also a cramped little house here.

Inside the cabin, there was a pea-shaped bed, and a mushroom-shaped table and chairs.

Esmond walked into the cabin, sat on the mushroom chair, and smiled at Leo and the other man.

Leo and his companion sat down on the mushroom-shaped chairs.

The mushroom chair has a very bouncy texture. When Leo sat down, it felt a bit like sitting on a sofa from his previous life, which was very comfortable.

Esmond said, "Gentlemen, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Esmond, and I am the mentor of the Esmond Gathering."

Leo frowned.

When Esmond spoke, he seemed to be distracted by something; he heard it, but didn't understand it at all.
