From this point of view, the act of the other party disposing of the corpse in the sewers near City Hall seems very odd.
"Perhaps it’s a gesture of goodwill, or a provocation?" Pries said through the Talisman Stone.
Herag pondered, "Goodwill? You an the Abyssal Cultists?"
"Exactly, although we don’t know why they did it, for now, it seems only those Abyssal Cultists would do such a thing. They killed Digran and then deliberately threw the body in the sewers near City Hall for us to discover."
"By doing this, it seems like they want to communicate sothing to us, but we currently have no clue why they would do it. This action also carries a hint of provocation." Pries said.
The matter with Digran was almost about to die down, and Pries and the others had no hope of finding Digran.
In the past, there were many such incidents where people disappeared into the corners of Silver Moon City, never to be found again.
These individuals would slowly be forgotten because Silver Moon City had countless matters needing attention daily.
With limited manpower, it’s impossible to resolve every old case.
No one has the capability, nor the manpower and energy.
So normally, those Abyssal Cultists associated with Digran had no reason to kill Digran; they could just hide out as usual for a while.
Pries was unaware, but Herag had made so connections.
He suddenly thought it might relate to his recent investigation in the Mozambique Slums.
At that ti, as he manipulated the crow to fly over the Mozambique Slums, he was noticed and observed by so unknown presence.
Herag guessed it might be that the people in the Mozambique Slums thought it was soone from Serlandir investigating Digran.
Recently, the matters concerning the Abyssal Cultists revolved mainly around Digran.
If Digran was indeed hiding there, the Abyssal Cultists in the slums likely thought Serlandir was suddenly investigating because of Digran.
They didn’t seem to want conflict with Serlandir, so they killed Digran and delivered his body.
This is both an act of goodwill and a provocation.
The Mozambique Slums’ intentions were clear: I’ve given you the person, so don’t bother coming here anymore.
Herag linked the causes and effects, quickly unraveling and understanding the situation.
He thought that the Mozambique Slums seed quite complicated, and he needed to be more cautious in the future.
"By the way, your contribution points have been settled, totaling ten points, which isn’t insignificant." Pries added.
This ti, only capturing one small character Alda didn’t really earn any contribution points.
The ten points were because they identified Digran as an Abyssal Cultist.
Herag had no complaints; having ten points was already quite good. He now had a total of only a hundred contribution points—better than nothing.
Herag pondered and asked, "Mr. Pries, does our Serlandir have a small plane like Augustus Academy to accelerate ditation practice?"
Being aware of the various potential dangers, Herag needed to expedite his strength enhancent.
For a wizard, ditation was the most straightforward way to beco stronger.
Once the realm progresses, strength naturally increases significantly.
Currently at the Liquidation Wizard stage, Herag needed to accumulate ditation practice to break through to the Crystalization Stage.
But at the current pace, who knew how long it would take to progress to the Crystalization Wizard stage.
Herag had to consider more thods to expedite ditation speed.
Early promotion to Crystalization Wizard stage was necessary for becoming a Level 2 Wizard.
Once promoted to Level 2 Wizard, his ability to protect himself in the Land of Dawn would greatly improve.
Regarding thods to increase ditation speed, the first Herag thought of was continuing to develop magic potions to enhance his ditation speed.
Next, he rembered the small planes Lillian had ntioned before, where ditation practice would be much faster.
Lillian had once said every wizard organization had similar places.
"A small plane? We do have one. But the conditions to enter are stringent; you need at least a thousand contribution points, and it requires approval. For you, it’s challenging to pass. However, if you want to speed up ditation, you don’t have to go to a small plane, just go to the Wizard Tower." Pries suggested.
Herag, too inexperienced, even if he quickly earned a thousand contribution points, lacks the qualifications for the application approval to enter a small plane, making passing approval unlikely.
After all, small planes are crucial places for any wizard organization, not accessible to anyone.
As a new arrival, Herag was unlikely to be granted entry.
But Pries ntioned another place, the Wizard Tower.
Herag suddenly realized he had overlooked it.
The Wizard Towers were present throughout Silver Moon City, visible everywhere.
Each Wizard Tower guarded the security of the surrounding area, preventing the spread of contaminated zones.
Due to its ubiquitous nature, it’s easily forgotten.
Previously, Herag thought Wizard Towers were simply for city defense and didn’t pay much attention.
But Pries’s ntion reminded him that Wizard Towers also assist in wizard practice.
"Every Wizard Tower in Silver Moon City has a ditation Room, where ditation speed is two to three tis faster than usual. However, it is costly, and requires identity verification to enter, but for people from Serlandir like us, it should be no problem." Pries said.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Pries."
After thanking, Herag imdiately researched and quickly found information about the Wizard Tower ditation Rooms.
It turned out one could indeed speed up ditation there because of the Energy Well design in the Wizard Tower, making the concentration of energy particles much higher than outside.
However, the price was steep—one hundred magic stones per hour in the ditation Room.
Herag was a bit stunned at the cost, no wonder few ntioned it; who could afford it?
Eight hundred magic stones for eight hours a day, eight thousand for ten days, eighty thousand for a hundred days.
Herag currently had about fifteen thousand magic stones, enough to sustain ditation practice for less than two hundred days.
This estimation was only feasible if he didn’t eat, drink, or have any other expenses.
Herag thought about it, knowing he had to go to the Wizard Tower but needed to plan the timing.
Additionally, he needed to develop magic potions that aid ditation practice for it to be more effective.
