This is the apparition of a toad.
When Herag saw this apparition appear on the mirror’s surface, it felt strangely familiar. He felt that he had seen it sowhere before.
When the information about the toad transmitted into his mind, Herag rembered that he had seen this toad twice in the Abyss Plane.
The first encounter ended quickly as he couldn’t communicate, and not a word was exchanged before he was brought back to the Wizard Plane.
During the second encounter, the toad transferred the common language of the Abyss Plane to Herag, and then they chatted a bit.
At the last encounter, Herag was rely a Wizard Apprentice, but now he was a Level 2 Wizard.
The information transferred by the toad was: "Not seen for a while, and you’ve grown quite a bit."
To Herag, these past ten-plus years felt long and eventful.
But to the toad, it was rely a short mont.
Herag replied, "So it was you, I didn’t expect to et you here."
"I sensed your aura and ca to take a look. I didn’t expect your bloodline level to be so high. Last ti you ca to the Abyss Plane, you were far from . By the ti I arrived, you had already left. At that ti, I sensed the aura of an Ancestral Bloodline, and it turns out it was truly yours," the toad said.
Herag knew that the last ti ntioned by the toad was surely the ti he was dragged into the Abyss Plane by the Abyssal Cultist.
Back then, the Abyssal Cultist’s thod only allowed Herag to stay in the Abyss Plane for a brief period,
and after dealing with that Abyssal Cultist, he was forced back to the Wizard Plane in less than a minute.
Because he didn’t have ti to release his bloodline form, he was heavily injured as a result.
Herag had a deep impression of this event.
He quickly asked, "Toad, can I make a ssenger Contract with you?"
"I have rembered my na, Nicholas Carlos Camby," the toad replied.
"Nicholas Carlos Camby..."
Herag silently repeated the na, feeling it was quite familiar.
Suddenly he rembered sothing and quickly took out a pocket watch from his Space Ring.
It was this pocket watch that guided Herag on the path of becoming a wizard.
The Starry Sky ditation Technique that Herag practiced now ca from this pocket watch.
And the owner of the pocket watch was Nicholas Carlos Camby.
Based on the two pieces of hidden information in the pocket watch, Herag could deduce that Nicholas was a wizard of the Sixth Ring Tower, and he was likely very powerful.
What he didn’t expect was that the toad’s na was exactly the sa as Nicholas’s.
Herag recalled that when he first t the toad, it had ntioned sensing a familiar aura around him.
He now understood that this familiar aura was likely due to the pocket watch and possibly his own practice of the Starry Sky ditation Technique.
Herag quickly asked, "Was it you who left this pocket watch?"
"I... I don’t really rember. Although I have recalled quite a bit now, I have no mory of what you ntioned," the toad said.
The toad had no mory of what Herag ntioned, unsure if he simply hadn’t recalled it yet or if they were not the sa person.
Herag then said, "I beca a wizard through the Starry Sky ditation Technique hidden in the pocket watch. The information inside indicated that with this pocket watch, one could join the Sixth Ring Tower. Nicholas, are you a wizard of the Sixth Ring Tower?"
"Sixth Ring Tower... I feel very familiar with it, but I don’t yet have any related mory," the toad said.
Seeing the toad’s response, Herag roughly guessed the situation in his heart.
This toad was likely the very Nicholas who left the pocket watch. The nas being exactly the sa couldn’t be re coincidence.
What puzzled Herag was, why would a wizard turn into a toad, becoming a demon of the Abyss Plane?
Although the toad was strong, it seed unnecessary for a wizard to beco a demon of the Abyss Plane.
The specifics could only be clarified when the toad slowly recalled them, but the most important thing now was to sign the ssenger Contract for easier future contact.
Herag said, "We can discuss these matters later. Let’s first sign the ssenger Contract."
"No problem," the toad replied.
With mutual agreent, Herag and the toad successfully completed the ssenger Contract.
Herag would need to pay one Gold Coin each ti he required the toad to complete a task.
This cost was virtually no cost at all, rely for fulfilling the ritual.
Once the contract was completed, the black mirror lost its luster and was no longer capable of summoning the ssenger.
With a thought, a delicate ripple spread through the space in front of Herag, and a toad appeared before him.
"Is this your true form or just a projection?" Herag asked.
The toad glanced around and said to Herag, "Just a projection. The true form cannot reach your plane."
"What’s the strength of your true form now?" Herag asked.
"Equivalent to a Sixth Ring Wizard, I suppose," the toad replied.
Herag contemplated and continued to ask, "What level is this projection equivalent to?"
"This projection is quite special. The defensive strength is around the level of a Fifth Ring Wizard, but its offensive capabilities are limited, rely equivalent to a Third Ring Wizard," the toad said after pondering for a mont.
Herag understood. Simply put, this toad’s projection was invincible in defense, posing no threat to anything below a Level 5 Wizard.
However, as it was just a projection, many of the true form’s techniques couldn’t be utilized, with offensive ability only equal to a Level 3 Wizard.
For the toad, this was indeed quite weak, rely defensively sturdy with the offensive strength of little value.
But for Herag, it was a different story, as a Level 3 Wizard could dominate in the Wizard Plane.
As long as he didn’t encounter the top individuals from each Wizard Organization, he’d be nearly invincible.
Of course, this didn’t include the unknown entities in the polluted areas.
After learning this information, Herag stroked his chin and began to consider that many things could be reconsidered.
The toad shot him a glance and asked, "Do you need to deal with soone for you?"
Herag hadn’t expected his thoughts to be seen through so quickly and chuckled, "Indeed, I do have a bit of trouble that requires your help. What price do you require for your assistance?"
"Just one Gold Coin," the toad said.
It really didn’t care about these things, all for complying with the rules of the ssenger Contract.
Herag laughed, "Okay!"
The toad said, "Before that, tell what you know. Although I have rembered my na, I know very little about past events. I recently awoke and have forgotten too much."
Herag understood that the toad was referring to the Sixth Ring Tower, now almost certain that the toad was indeed Nicholas.
He took out the pocket watch and said, "Actually, I don’t know much."
