Sixth Ring Wizard

Herag had already prepared to run away, to hastily leave this Storm City, to leave the Violet Kingdom.

There were two reasons for the escape. One was having picked up quite a few things from Valley Town, and if there happened to be an owner there, he feared the owner would come to reclaim his belongings.

Herag was definitely no match in a fight, so he had no choice but to run first.

The second reason was that Valley Town was too bizarre a place, affecting even Storm City.

Herag decided to distance himself further, for even the strongest power has its limits.

"Mr. Larry's mission is still incomplete, it's time to set out for the Doris Kingdom." He hadn't forgotten his mission, which was to go west to the Doris Kingdom to find Moonstone Grass.

Although this mission was merely an excuse, it still needed to be completed.

"I hope the matters in Moonlight Forest are concluded soon."

Herag touched the Talisman Stone in his pocket, still without any message.

If the war had ended, Larry would have notified him through the Talisman Stone.

Holding the Talisman Stone outside, he was unable to use the communication function properly or browse the internal Gossip Tavern and missions of Moonlight Forest, only passively receiving some messages, and only someone with Larry's level as an Official Wizard would have permission to send messages.

Having made up his mind, Herag prepared to leave, speaking, "Alright then, I'll be leaving Storm City in the next couple of days."

"Ah?" Robert was a bit panicked, "Sir, where are you going? Can you take me with you?"

Herag decisively refused, "No way, taking you along is too troublesome, you're not a beauty, why would I take you?"

"But... I feel it's a bit safer following you. If you leave, who knows what I'll encounter." Robert was feeling quite insecure.

Herag laughed, "Safe with me? Are you sure? You've only been with me for one trip and already encountered these incidents. What about later?"

Robert thought about it and felt it made sense, he was just unlucky to have led the way and ended up encountering such strange matters.

If things went on, it could only get more dangerous, and he couldn't withstand such plights with his fragile life, he thought, and fell silent.

Herag chuckled and then spoke to Milo, "Vice President Milo, there's something I need your help with."

"Sir, please go ahead." Milo listened attentively.

...

After leaving the Adventurers' Association, Herag returned to the Banks Family's inn.

Sid was the first to learn of this news and hurried back, reeking of alcohol, "Sir, you're back!"

Herag was packing his things in the room, looked back, and said, "Hmm, I'll be leaving in a few days, you can also return."

"Leave? Where are you going, sir?" Sid sobered up slightly.

Herag said, "That's not something you need to know. When you return this time, help me give my thanks to Count Hu En."

"Alright, I'll relay the message to the Count." Sid nodded.

At night, Herag lay on the bed and began to meditate.

The recipe for the Magic Potion to speed up meditation still needed verification. He originally planned to stay in Storm City for a while to finalize this recipe through experimentation.

But due to the Valley Town incident, Storm City was no longer a place to stay, a distance of over a hundred kilometers clearly wasn't enough.

Upon reaching the Doris Kingdom on the West Coast, it should no longer be under the influence of Valley Town.

However, traveling from the Violet Kingdom to the Doris Kingdom is quite troublesome, requiring identity verification and some official documents from the Violet Kingdom, which is quite a hassle.

Having discussed his plans with Milo, Milo assured him he would handle it, preparing a fabricated identity for Herag, with all necessary documents in place.

Being the Vice President of the Adventurers' Association, Milo had an extensive network, and it would be easy to arrange such matters with a connection to the nobility.

Milo said that completing these formalities would take about seven days, so Herag would stay in the city during this period.

On the third day, Robert came.

"Sir, I've been having nightmares these days, dreaming of a monstrous man with an axe chasing me, every night being chopped on the head with an axe. Sir, do you think something's haunting me?" Robert looked worried, with prominent dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadn't slept well these days.

Herag pondered for a moment, then took out a pocket watch and said, "Seems like something is indeed there, I can't be sure, let me clear it for you. This is the High-level Holy Light Technique, capable of dispelling all curses and nightmares. The usage is limited though, but I'll help you this time, after all, you helped me find my way."

Of course, there was nothing on Robert, at least Herag didn't see anything.

But to let this unfortunate guy have a good sleep, Herag decided to do a bit of psychological therapy.

He had already used the Holy Healing Technique on himself, but nothing happened, it only left his body warm for a while.

"Thank you, sir!" Robert immediately recognized the pocket watch as a treasure, its seamless construction was unlike anything he had seen.

Having been an adventurer for so many years, his eyesight was quite excellent too.

Moreover, since Herag wore this pocket watch intimately, anything a Mystic wore closely wouldn't be simple.

With these thoughts, Robert felt a bit excited, feeling he might be saved.

Herag held the pocket watch, dangling it in front of Robert, and then began to infuse it with magic power to activate the watch.

The pocket watch soon emitted a white glow, and a woman's phantom appeared, casting a glance at Robert, then gently exhaling a breath towards him.

This breath enveloped Robert, making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his whole body warming up.

At the same time, a plume of black smoke emanated from Robert's body, quickly dissipating after emerging.

"So there really was something..." Herag was a bit surprised, not expecting there really was something on Robert, and that the Holy Healing Technique actually worked.

Witnessing this, Robert felt a chill of fear, "I knew it, something felt off about my body, glad I came to find Sir Herag. If I waited till he left, my life might not have been saved."

Once that black smoke dissipated from his body, he felt much lighter, having previously felt a lot of pressure weighing down on him.

"You should be able to sleep well now," Herag said in a low voice.

"Thank you for saving me, sir!" Robert, overwhelmed with emotion, knelt on the ground and knocked his head against the floor, clearly having been severely tormented these past few days.

"Alright, go on, head back." Herag waved his hand.

Robert nodded, got up, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Herag called out to him, "There's something I want to ask you, though you don't have to answer if you don't want to. I'm just a bit curious."

"What's it, sir? Please ask, and I'll answer whatever I know." Robert said earnestly.

"I just want to know, who was it that hired you to assassinate Josh?" Herag asked.
