Herag could completely accept the ti fra of more than half a year. Anyway, he wasn’t qualified to view the contents just yet, so he let Shenlan slowly analyze it.
As for why he only used 30% of his magic power each day, it was because he wasn’t in the Moonlight Forest, and basic safety couldn’t be guaranteed.
Herag had to ensure he was always in good condition to deal with any unexpected situations.
He needed to retain at least 70% of his magic power to have decent combat capability.
If he consud too much magic power daily to analyze the Stone Slab’s contents and couldn’t cast even three shields during an ergency, it would be dangerous.
"Shenlan, from today on, analyze the Stone Slab’s contents during my ditation sessions and pause once 30% of magic power is consud."
"Task archived."
After arranging the task of analyzing the Stone Slab’s contents, Herag began to observe the Stone Slab from the side.
He didn’t look directly at the contents on the Stone Slab but stood aside to examine the material of the Stone Slab.
At first, he thought the Stone Slab was made of ordinary stone and didn’t check carefully due to the circumstances at that ti.
But after observing it carefully again, Herag found that it wasn’t rely ordinary stone. It seed to be a stone containing gold, a type he had never seen before.
The Stone Slab was very hard. When Herag pressed it, he felt that even a Knight Level couldn’t leave a mark on it with a sword.
For a Great Knight, it might be different. Herag didn’t say for sure, as Great Knights had various thods, and their power in bursts was very high.
Herag then recalled the strange events in Valley Town and instinctively felt that there was a significant chance they were related to the Stone Slab.
He felt that by moving the Stone Slab, he had affected Storm City, even a hundred kiloters away.
Otherwise, he couldn’t explain why the mories of Milo and the others had changed, and the archive contents had changed, likely because Herag had moved the Stone Slab.
But this was just his guess, and Herag couldn’t confirm the specific reason.
After observing for a while and finding nothing conclusive, Herag put the Stone Slab back into the Space Ring.
The next morning, Herag called for Ed to drive because he needed to go out.
He was planning to visit the Adventurers’ Association in Ryan City, as he still had no leads on the Moonstone Grass matter.
The Doris Kingdom was too large for Herag to conduct a thorough sweep of every place.
His first thought was the Adventurers’ Association, which was spread throughout the Kala Continent, with nurous mbers and multiple channels of information.
The Adventurers’ Association didn’t belong to any one kingdom but cooperated with every kingdom, with its presence in every city.
The Adventurers’ Association in Ryan City was similar to the one in Storm City, with its own dedicated five-story building.
The division of areas on the first-floor hall was similar, giving Herag a feeling of being in a chain store.
He found the task posting counter and, after queuing for a while, it was his turn.
Behind the counter was a young man, seemingly in his twenties, nad Ward.
"I want to post a task to find clues about Moonstone Grass," Herag directly stated his needs.
Ward took a piece of paper, wrote so details, and then asked, "Do you have any requirents for the reward or deadline of the task?"
"Ten Gold Coins for anyone who can provide valuable clues. As for the task deadline, I can’t say for sure; the task will cease once I obtain Moonstone Grass," Herag replied.
Ward nodded and said, "Understood, sir. According to the Adventurers’ Association’s requirents, we need to charge you one-tenth of the task reward as a fee. Is that acceptable?"
Herag placed a Gold Coin on the counter, saying, "No problem, please post the task as soon as possible and notify promptly if there are any updates."
Ward took the Gold Coin, checked it, and then placed a piece of paper in front of Herag, "Please fill in your contact address and na, sir. We’ll notify you imdiately once there is information."
After Herag wrote down his current residential address, the procedure was completed.
Next, this task would be posted in the Adventurers’ Association’s task list in Ryan City, visible to all adventurers browsing tasks.
There is strength in numbers, and with so many in the Adventurers’ Association, it would be much faster than Herag searching alone.
After completing the task posting, Herag returned ho and continued his reclusive life.
Every day was spent dining, ditating, and studying. When he ran out of Starry Sky Potion, he would brew another batch.
Everyday matters didn’t require Herag’s attention, as Judy and Ed managed things well.
Half a month passed, and the slave mark on Ed’s face had almost disappeared. In a few more days, it would be completely gone.
Ed was truly grateful to Herag and placed imnse importance on every task Herag assigned.
Herag even suspected that if he now ordered Ed to die, he would do so without question.
Soon, another half month passed.
On this day, like every other, Herag was ditating when he suddenly opened his eyes.
Soone knocked on the door, and Ed imdiately ran to open it, seeing a young man in his twenties. He asked, "What brings you here?"
The visitor was Ward from the Adventurers’ Association, who smiled and said, "Hello, I’m here for Mr. Jelant. There’s news regarding the task he posted at our Adventurers’ Association."
Ed replied, "Please wait a mont; I’ll notify our master."
"Alright, thank you." Ward said politely.
By this ti, the mark on Ed’s face had completely vanished, and no one would view him as a slave anymore.
Before Ed could inform him, Herag had already co out.
"Master, there’s a..." Ed said respectfully.
Herag nodded, "I know."
He quickly reached the entrance and said to Ward, "Is there news?"
Ward nodded, "Yes, Mr. Jelant, there is news about your task."
"Can its authenticity be confird?" Herag inquired.
He was wary of adventurers who might deceive him with false information for the Gold Coins.
For example, they might na a random location, causing Herag to waste ti and energy if he went to search and found nothing.
Ward smiled, "Rest assured, Mr. Jelant. Since I’m here to inform you, you can be sure that the information has been verified. I guarantee it’s authentic!"
His smile was confident, and his tone firm, showing his trust in his information.
"May I et the person who took the task?" Herag asked.
Since Ward spoke with such assurance, Herag felt a bit more at ease. A large organization like the Adventurers’ Association wouldn’t likely have issues with such matters.
