So Erza was puzzled as to why such an entity would sign a contract with Herag.
Moreover, she was even more perplexed that Herag’s ssenger could actually transport people, sothing unheard of.
She had heard of many powerful ssengers, but none that could transport people.
Regarding the toad, Herag couldn’t reveal much and just smiled, saying, "Don’t be puzzled, a man as charming as I am having such a ssenger is only normal."
Erza knew this was probably laden with secrets, so she didn’t inquire further, instead, she gently bit Herag.
"Since that’s the case, make sure to visit often in the future. Don’t be like before, disappearing for over a decade without a heart. Co directly to , and I’ll explain to the people at Dream Island," Erza said.
Herag nodded, "I’ll co as often as I can."
Herag’s initial reason for visiting Erza was to inform her of potential future crises and the situation with the Elf Plane as a backup plan.
But it seed Erza was already aware of these issues, so he didn’t need to tell her.
Besides, Dream Island itself, being a small plane, was safe enough for Erza, even safer than the Elf Plane.
Herag even considered whether to use Erza’s place as another alternative route.
The saying "a wise rabbit has three burrows" points out that having another option is always good.
From all angles, Erza’s location seed a very good choice.
The only concern was the wizards on Dream Island.
Dream Island remained part of the Wizard Plane’s organization, and Herag was still sowhat wary of them.
After all, Erza was just a Level 1 Wizard and didn’t wield much influence there.
In this small plane of Dream Island, everything was under its control, which always posed a hidden risk.
Herag would not fully trust these wizard organizations and risk his lifeline in their hands.
The Elf Plane, being a middle-tier world, was vast enough where no force could monitor or control the entire world.
Even if Herag didn’t go to the Elves, he could easily find a secluded forest to live in his whole life without being discovered.
"By the way, beco my follower, that way it’ll be easier to contact you in the future," Herag suggested.
"Follower?" Erza didn’t understand what Herag ant and didn’t imdiately grasp it.
Herag then explained briefly, after which Erza, half believing, tried it out and found it to be true.
At this, Erza once again couldn’t quite see through Herag, finding it hard to imagine how he had grown over the years to possess such ans and abilities.
Nonetheless, the stronger her man was, the happier and more secure she felt.
"Oh, my great god, what would you have your devoted follower do?" Erza whispered into Herag’s ear, her warm breath making his neck tickle.
...
A month quickly passed.
During the month, Herag spent all his ti with Erza.
Whether exploring the island, camping, or sailing at sea, they did it together.
Herag even took Erza underwater, exploring and experiencing the sights of the deep sea like never before.
This was sothing Erza had never tried, she hadn’t thought she could ever venture the sea this way.
Happy tis are always fleeting, and if possible, Herag wished he could stay there forever.
But pressures from all directions still existed, and Herag didn’t think he could completely control his own fate yet.
There were still many things he needed to accomplish, so he had to leave.
While he ca on Staven’s ship, he left on Erza’s ship from Dream Island.
Returning didn’t have to be like when he ca, slowly sailing.
Herag utilized the ssenger function of the toad to directly return to Black Rock Valley, outside Booker’s vegetable garden.
Upon landing, Herag felt that even the witch array didn’t seem so formidable.
With ans like the toad’s, any witch array defense seed aningless, lacking any real defense capability.
But entities of the toad’s caliber were always rare, and if such a being wanted to act against you, no witch array would suffice.
Though surprised by Herag’s sudden appearance, Booker was sensible enough not to ask questions, just greeted him and briefly updated him on recent events.
To Booker, Herag must have used so kind of transfer thod, so he didn’t inquire further.
Herag learned from Booker that everything seed peaceful recently, with nothing specific happening.
The cooperation with the Nightingale Comrce Association was going well, without any issues.
Herag felt uneasy in his heart; everything seed calm only because the storm had not arrived.
And at the level Booker and his kind were involved with, they couldn’t possibly know those hidden secrets or the crises of the future.
"Mr. Booker, I’m heading back to Wisteria Ridge," Herag said, bidding farewell.
Booker hesitated, as if wanting to say sothing before finally stating, "Uh... Go back, Reese and the others are surely missing you."
Herag didn’t say much, and upon returning to the castle, he tossed another Gold Coin to the toad, arriving at Wisteria Ridge beside Reese.
As he landed, he noticed the place was humid, with a bathtub and a graceful figure inside.
"You! Couldn’t you at least say sothing before showing up like that!" Reese exclaid, covering her chest with both hands, her initially fierce magical aura gradually calming down upon seeing it was Herag.
She had been taking a bath, and suddenly sensed another presence in the room, giving her quite a scare, ready to act without caring who it was.
Yet unexpectedly it was Herag, leaving her both joyful and annoyed.
Herag quickly apologized, "I... I didn’t know you were bathing, but I guess timing couldn’t be better, mind if I join?"
"You scoundrel!" Reese’s face turned red.
...
The vigorous movents caused a lot of water to splash from the bathtub, wetting the surrounding floor.
After the intense skirmish, Herag and Reese erged from the tub, drying off and donning loose robes.
"Hmph, ca back and visited your old fla right away, truly deep in your feelings," Reese remarked sarcastically.
She had heard about Herag’s return, but he didn’t co back.
Curious, Reese asked Booker about it.
But Booker was evasive and reluctant to say much.
Under Reese’s pressure, Booker had no choice but to divulge that Herag had received a letter from soone nad Erza.
Upon hearing it, Reese understood imdiately, knowing Herag had a woman nad Erza.
