Sixth Ring Wizard

"Thank you, Mr. Brad," Herag expressed his gratitude.

Brad dared to unlock Herag's handcuffs so easily because he was confident enough.

He was a Level 2 Wizard, and Herag couldn't cause much trouble in front of him.

Herag obediently picked up the talisman stone on the table and then input a little bit of magic power.

The talisman stone immediately lit up, and Herag tapped on the personal page, which displayed his information.

"Mr. Brad, please have a look," Herag showed the information displayed on the talisman stone to Brad.

Brad glanced at it and said, "So it's you. I didn't expect you to still be alive."

"Mr. Brad, you know about me too?" Herag asked.

Brad nodded, "Yes, the incident in Silver Moon City at that time had a considerable impact, so I'm naturally aware. After you disappeared, Silver Moon City quickly discovered through positioning that you were deep in the pollution zone to the west."

"Unfortunately, at that time, we in Serlandir didn't have any Pioneers in that area, so we couldn't go to find you. Silver Moon City also applied for a search in the pollution zone to locate you, but the applications were all rejected."

"From the perspective of the higher-ups, sending so many people deep into the pollution zone to find a Liquidation Wizard was not worthwhile, and could potentially cost more manpower."

"Entering the pollution zone is not a simple task, and Silver Moon City couldn't just send people in to find you on their own."

"The matter was initially under discussion, but later one day your position suddenly disappeared. The sudden disappearance of a wizard's talisman stone position, especially in the pollution zone, likely indicates that he has perished."

"So after that, no further mention was made about looking for you, and without positioning, it was impossible to search for you."

"The pollution zone is extremely dangerous, and the probability of a Liquidation Wizard surviving there alone is very low..."

Herag understood approximately, it seemed that the people of Serlandir all thought he had already died in the pollution zone.

This was normal; it was too dangerous inside, and even Level 2 Wizards might not survive, let alone Herag alone.

Herag reflected on his experiences in the pollution zone; there were indeed numerous crises, several life-and-death situations.

It was only by turning danger into safety each time that he managed to return alive.

If even a small mistake had happened in between, Herag wouldn't be standing here now.

Herag glanced at the message list; many people had sent messages, Reese, Pries, Baron, and even Lillian far away at Augustus Academy; it seemed she also learned about his situation.

"Mr. Herag, you are free now; go handle your matters," Brad smiled.

He saw the clang of messages in Herag's talisman stone, knowing that Herag would be busy.

Herag asked, "Mr. Brad, is there an airship here to Silver Moon City?"

Seeing so many messages, he wanted to hurry back to Silver Moon City to understand and deal with some matters.

Brad replied, "There's no direct one to Silver Moon City, but there is one that passes through. It generally takes four to five months. If you need, I can help you arrange it."

"Four to five months... Then please, Mr. Brad, help contact me. I want to return as soon as possible. Thank you, Mr. Brad," Herag thanked.

Brad said, "No need to be polite, we are all on the same side. Besides, in my view, you are a hero who saved many people in Silver Moon City, although some people don't think so."

"Some people don't think so?" Herag pondered this sentence, gaining some information from it and silently contemplated.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Brad," Herag expressed his gratitude.

Brad waved his hand and smiled, "It's not much of a reminder, not a big deal."

"By the way, Mr. Brad, what about that Royce?" Herag asked.

"Royce? You mean that smuggling merchant, right? He will most likely be sentenced to seven or eighty years for smuggling," Brad answered.

Although nothing happened to Herag, that was because he was from Serlandir.

But Royce was a resident of Eye of the Storm, who indeed committed smuggling, so he had to bear the corresponding penalty.

Herag said, "He did kind of help me out, can he be let go?"

"Sure, no problem, it's just a matter of words. In fact, such affairs, seen as smuggling, can be phrased differently. If turned into helping a member of Serlandir escape danger, it's not a crime but a merit," Brad said.

"Thank you," Herag smiled.

Royce was Sam's man, and Sam was his servant; saving him might come in handy someday.

Royce and Sam's prowess might not be significant, but their value wasn't in strength.

Herag had no intention of dissolving Sam's contract either.

Sam was an underground figure in the Eye of the Storm area, likely useful in the future, dissolving was out of the question.

When Herag had Sam sign the contract, he had no intention of dissolving it, keeping such a person was useful.

Sam was well aware of this too; he could only pray inwardly that Herag would never die, or at least not before him.

After leaving, Herag found a hotel to stay temporarily, waiting for the airship to come and then setting off.

He sat on the hotel bed, starting to check messages.

Reese's messages were numerous, and from them, it was clear she was very sad.

"Applying to become a Pioneer?" Herag discovered from Reese's message that she applied to become a Pioneer.

Reese firmly believed Herag wouldn't die, but since Serlandir wouldn't send anyone to find him, Reese decided to become a Pioneer herself and head into the pollution zone to find Herag.

Seeing this moved Herag but also frightened him, having just come out of the pollution zone himself, knowing how dangerous it was inside.

Given Reese's capabilities, entering would be a death sentence, with little chance of survival.

Fortunately, upon seeing subsequent messages, he found that Pries contacted people on Serlandir's side and denied Reese's application.

In the message Pries sent to Herag, it also mentioned this, and Herag finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing these messages.

Fortunately, Reese didn't become a Pioneer to enter the pollution zone, otherwise, he would have to turn back and enter it again as soon as he came out.

After reading Reese's message, Herag sent Reese a message: "I'm back, expected to return to Silver Moon City in four to five months."

On the other side of the talisman stone, in Silver Moon City, Reese saw the talisman stone light up, somewhat puzzled as to who would send her a message.

She opened the talisman stone and saw it was Herag, momentarily thinking she was hallucinating.
