Herag followed up with several sword strikes; facing an enemy without finishing them off easily leads to tragedy.
After confirming the masked man’s death, Herag checked the items on the corpse.
This masked man did not have a Space Ring, only a backpack with the space of a water tank, which is considered a relatively low-level space storage item.
Inside, Herag saw his own Resentful Doll, a few bottles of low-quality Healing Potion, and several Gold Coin Deposit Tickets from the Doris Kingdom treasury.
This person still had money; these Gold Coin Deposit Tickets totaled over thirty thousand gold coins.
Herag couldn’t use them because these tickets require identity verification.
If he tried to exchange the tickets for gold coins, he might encounter other troubles, and it’s not worth it for thirty thousand gold coins.
The rest were just so miscellaneous items, and the most valuable was his own Resentful Doll.
After counting the spoils, Herag used a Small Fireball Technique to burn the corpse.
"How did he find ?" Herag couldn’t understand where he went wrong, but now that the person was dead, there was no chance to ask.
After dealing with the corpse, Herag resud his journey.
He bought a horse in a village along the way and continued his journey.
From here to Ryan City, it takes two days on horseback; walking is too slow and easy to be overtaken.
Unfortunately, he killed the masked man’s horse, otherwise, he could have been faster.
About an hour after Herag left, the plump Calis arrived at the scene. Looking at the still blazing fire, he muttered to himself, "That kid is actually so fierce."
...
Two days later, Herag returned to Ryan City.
Once in Ryan City, Herag could relax a bit.
Wizards rarely fight in cities inhabited by ordinary people, because accidentally harming many ordinary people would cause trouble for themselves.
As for those casual Wizard Apprentices without any background, they wouldn’t dare to make a move in the city.
After entering the city, Herag headed straight to the City Lord’s Mansion, and after being reported, Erza’s Knight Commander, Lewandowski, personally ca to lead him inside.
Just like before, Lewandowski always had a grim face and remained extrely wary of Herag.
"You’ve returned so soon?" Erza, as before, was still lying slanted on the bed with black gauze draping around.
This ti, she wore a small tank top that fully showcased her figure.
Herag always felt the straps of the tank top might snap at any mont, given the imnse stress.
"This is Moonstone Grass, two leaves in total. As agreed, this is yours." Herag took out a wooden box and retrieved a piece of Moonstone Grass from it.
"How much did it cost?" Erza asked curiously.
Herag earnestly replied, "A lot; almost all the gold coins you gave were spent. Moonstone Grass is very rare, and they inflated the price quite high."
"Really? I didn’t hear it was so expensive before." Erza asked sowhat skeptically.
"I don’t know either, but it’s definitely expensive. By the way, why do you need this? Are you conducting Alchemy?" Herag asked.
It was a question he had wanted to ask; ordinarily, Wizard Apprentices are not worthy of using Moonstone Grass, so why was Erza, a barely First-Class Wizard Apprentice, using such high-level Magic Potion Materials?
Erza said, "I heard Moonstone Grass when soaked in water maintains youth and delays aging."
"I’ve never heard of such an effect." Herag recalled and couldn’t rember any such record in herbalism books.
"You formidable wizards naturally can maintain youth anyway, so you wouldn’t notice such trivial matters." Erza looked at Herag sowhat enviously; she had worked hard to beco a Wizard Apprentice mainly to preserve her appearance.
She had personally seen Dino, her great-grandfather, still retain the appearance of soone in his thirties despite being over a hundred years old, so she naturally aspired to beco a wizard.
But unfortunately, her qualifications were insufficient; even with Dino’s help, she barely entered the field.
After her hopes of further advancent dwindled, Erza began pursuing various thods of maintaining her appearance.
Especially in recent years, approaching thirty years of age, Erza increasingly sought to maintain her beauty.
This matter with Moonstone Grass was passed onto her by Dino, saying that soaking it in water could alleviate aging.
Many wizards naturally overlooked this effect as it holds no aning for them.
And ordinary people can’t afford such items, so naturally few know about it.
"Shenlan, does Moonstone Grass have anti-aging effects?" Herag asked.
"After testing and database research, Moonstone Grass has certain effects of delaying aging," Shenlan provided the answer.
"So it really has such an effect." Herag didn’t expect it to be true.
"Co over and give it to then," Erza said leisurely while lying inside.
Holding the Moonstone Grass, Herag put the wooden box back into the Space Ring and walked over.
Handing the Moonstone Grass through the black gauze, Herag passed it inside.
Erza reached out to take the Moonstone Grass but turned her hand to grasp Herag’s hand, while her fingers traced Herag’s palm, making him feel ticklish.
"Since you spent almost all the gold coins you had to buy Moonstone Grass, why don’t I give you another kind of reward?" Erza gazed at Herag seductively, murmuring with an enticing breath.
Herag imdiately pulled up the black gauze and slipped inside, pressing down on Erza: "You’re playing with fire."
Erza showed no fear; instead, she hooked her arms around Herag’s neck and leaned close to his face saying, "Dry kindling needs a blazing fire."
...
The most needed age encounters the most capable age; an entire night quickly passed.
Herag looked at the sleeping Erza in his arms, feeling no fatigue at all, whereas Erza was exhausted and asleep.
"Hmm?" Herag suddenly had a strange feeling.
"So this is the real application of the Starry Sky Potion?"
He closed his eyes and imdiately began ditation, discovering that his ditation speed was several tis faster than when he consud the Starry Sky Potion.
The unfortunate part is that this speed is due to a large accumulation of the Starry Sky Potion’s properties, manifesting all at once now and can’t be regularly maintained at such a pace.
The Starry Sky Potion’s latent properties were stored in Herag’s body, and they hadn’t been completely unleashed.
But after the frenzy last night, these properties once again activated and produced an even better effect.
"The effect is excellent, but I can’t possibly sustain this daily. Right, I could store this effect and release it after a week; that should be more reasonable."
The unactivated properties of the Starry Sky Potion would settle down and could be released all at once later.
During the period when the properties were effective, Herag seized the chance to ditate and didn’t miss any opportunity to enhance himself.
