Max is a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard, and Herag finds it relatively easy to kill him.
However, controlling him is not as easy, especially while ensuring the contents of the three-story building remain intact.
This task is difficult to execute; a single mistake could result in the loss of evidence.
Herag has never observed the small attic closely, but judging from Max’s strict precautions, there must be a contingency plan, and he shouldn’t act rashly.
Considering everything, Herag realized that with his current abilities and thods, he is unable to completely control the situation.
It is ti to report the information to Pries.
Handing over the collected intelligence to Pries at this ti ensures that no matter how the subsequent handling of Max and Luqi proceeds, he will earn significant rit.
But if he acts against Max and Luqi, and any unforeseen circumstances arise, or if he overlooks anything, it could turn a good deed into a bad one.
At that point, instead of getting a reward, he might even face punishnt, making things counterproductive.
Herag took out the Talisman Stone and inford Pries of the situation he had gathered.
"You’re at the Kawat Comrcial District now?" Pries asked after reviewing the information.
"That’s right, I’m in a tavern now, not getting close to them anymore," Herag replied.
Herag only reported the situation he discovered about Luqi, without elaborating on Max’s situation.
According to normal reconnaissance thods, he couldn’t have entered the three-story building without being detected.
Therefore, Herag didn’t say much about the situation inside the three-story building, only ntioning that Luqi went inside for a while and then ca out.
In his statent, Herag made modifications to every part to better align with the typical reconnaissance thods of a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard.
Many of the information he conveyed was quite rough; it’s impossible for a normal person to understand things as thoroughly as if they were under surveillance.
From Herag’s description, it appeared he discovered Luqi because a beggar gave him a wood carving, leading him to figure things out, up to Luqi entering the small building.
He didn’t elaborate on his reconnaissance thods, only stating his findings.
Pries typically wouldn’t ask, as every wizard always has so small tricks, which is normal.
Pries replied, "Good, do not alert them for now. After we have planned everything, we’ll take action and aim to capture them with the least cost possible. During this ti, continue to monitor the movents within the building and inform imdiately if anyone leaves."
"Understood," Herag replied.
It seems like he won’t be able to go back for a while, needing to monitor Max’s actions here.
Herag held the Talisman Stone and sent Reese a ssage: "I’ll be on a mission outside for the next few days and won’t be back, take care of yourself at ho."
"Do you need my help?" Reese asked.
Monitoring Max only required Herag to activate Shenlan’s environntal detection, Reese’s presence would only make an additional target more noticeable.
He replied, "No, it’s easier for to hide alone."
"Got it, then stay safe," Reese understood Herag’s implication and instructed accordingly.
After putting down the Talisman Stone, Herag planned to stay around the area for the next few days.
After all, Kawat Comrcial District is bustling with people, so he wouldn’t appear out of place and wouldn’t attract attention, nor would he draw the notice of Max and Luqi.
To this day, neither of them has faced Herag directly; they’re completely unaware that they’ve exposed themselves to Serlandir.
After receiving Herag’s ssage, Pries imdiately halted his work and summoned several organization mbers, beginning to discuss the specifics.
"Minister Pries, is the information reliable?" asked a mber nad Shaq.
Pries nodded, "The information cos from our own people, so there shouldn’t be any issues. But we also need to send people to verify the specifics to facilitate subsequent arrangents. Herag is watching over there, and there’s nothing unusual for now."
"I’ll go then; reconnaissance is my specialty," Shaq volunteered.
He’s a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard specializing in Shadow Elent, frequently engaged in intelligence reconnaissance work.
Pries nodded, "Yes, Shaq, you’re a suitable choice. First, go investigate the residence there. I found out the owner is nad Max, a renowned Wood Carver. I suspect he’s hiding many abilities and thods. Be careful during reconnaissance, absolutely avoid exposure and detection."
"We’re in the dark, he’s in the light; this is our advantage, and we absolutely cannot let them beco aware before taking action."
"Understood, Minister," Shaq nodded, always careful and cautious in his work.
Pries trusts him comparatively, without excessive worry.
"Additionally, we need to assign soone to keep an eye on Luqi. He’s just a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice, so we don’t need to handle him urgently, just keep an eye on him. Naya, you go," Pries continued to arrange.
Naya, a quiet girl wearing glasses with the power of a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard, nodded, "Yes, Minister."
"Next, let’s discuss the specific combat plan," Pries continued, "Max’s residence is located in the central area of Kawat Comrcial District, surrounded by heavy traffic. When we initiate action, we must strive to catch him off guard to capture him instantly, giving him no ti to react and no opportunity to resist. Otherwise, it may cause harm to the surrounding residents."
On the table before Pries was a map, marked with the location of Max’s residence and so surrounding terrains.
"Evacuate in advance?" soone suggested.
Pries shook his head, "Impossible. What’s the excuse for evacuation? Max will inevitably detect sothing under such circumstances; it’s not entirely possible to conceal it from him."
"From this perspective, if the action is not swift enough, we might inadvertently impact the surrounding people," Naya frowned.
Pries nodded, "Correct, this is the most important issue. I will personally intervene at that ti..."
After discussing and consulting with the crowd about the specific details of the plan, Pries sent people off to complete their tasks.
An invisible net began to spread, arranged around Max, although he hadn’t detected any of this transpiring.
After drinking at the tavern until midnight, Herag went to a nearby inn to get a room.
This inn is actually right across from Max’s residence, only separated by a comrcial street.
