Herag had already prepared to run away, to hastily leave this Storm City, to leave the Violet Kingdom.
There were two reasons for the escape. One was having picked up quite a few things from Valley Town, and if there happened to be an owner there, he feared the owner would co to reclaim his belongings.
Herag was definitely no match in a fight, so he had no choice but to run first.
The second reason was that Valley Town was too bizarre a place, affecting even Storm City.
Herag decided to distance himself further, for even the strongest power has its limits.
"Mr. Larry’s mission is still incomplete, it’s ti to set out for the Doris Kingdom." He hadn’t forgotten his mission, which was to go west to the Doris Kingdom to find Moonstone Grass.
Although this mission was rely an excuse, it still needed to be completed.
"I hope the matters in Moonlight Forest are concluded soon."
Herag touched the Talisman Stone in his pocket, still without any ssage.
If the war had ended, Larry would have notified him through the Talisman Stone.
Holding the Talisman Stone outside, he was unable to use the communication function properly or browse the internal Gossip Tavern and missions of Moonlight Forest, only passively receiving so ssages, and only soone with Larry’s level as an Official Wizard would have permission to send ssages.
Having made up his mind, Herag prepared to leave, speaking, "Alright then, I’ll be leaving Storm City in the next couple of days."
"Ah?" Robert was a bit panicked, "Sir, where are you going? Can you take with you?"
Herag decisively refused, "No way, taking you along is too troubleso, you’re not a beauty, why would I take you?"
"But... I feel it’s a bit safer following you. If you leave, who knows what I’ll encounter." Robert was feeling quite insecure.
Herag laughed, "Safe with ? Are you sure? You’ve only been with for one trip and already encountered these incidents. What about later?"
Robert thought about it and felt it made sense, he was just unlucky to have led the way and ended up encountering such strange matters.
If things went on, it could only get more dangerous, and he couldn’t withstand such plights with his fragile life, he thought, and fell silent.
Herag chuckled and then spoke to Milo, "Vice President Milo, there’s sothing I need your help with."
"Sir, please go ahead." Milo listened attentively.
...
After leaving the Adventurers’ Association, Herag returned to the Banks Family’s inn.
Sid was the first to learn of this news and hurried back, reeking of alcohol, "Sir, you’re back!"
Herag was packing his things in the room, looked back, and said, "Hmm, I’ll be leaving in a few days, you can also return."
"Leave? Where are you going, sir?" Sid sobered up slightly.
Herag said, "That’s not sothing you need to know. When you return this ti, help give my thanks to Count Hu En."
"Alright, I’ll relay the ssage to the Count." Sid nodded.
At night, Herag lay on the bed and began to ditate.
The recipe for the Magic Potion to speed up ditation still needed verification. He originally planned to stay in Storm City for a while to finalize this recipe through experintation.
But due to the Valley Town incident, Storm City was no longer a place to stay, a distance of over a hundred kiloters clearly wasn’t enough.
Upon reaching the Doris Kingdom on the West Coast, it should no longer be under the influence of Valley Town.
However, traveling from the Violet Kingdom to the Doris Kingdom is quite troubleso, requiring identity verification and so official docunts from the Violet Kingdom, which is quite a hassle.
Having discussed his plans with Milo, Milo assured him he would handle it, preparing a fabricated identity for Herag, with all necessary docunts in place.
Being the Vice President of the Adventurers’ Association, Milo had an extensive network, and it would be easy to arrange such matters with a connection to the nobility.
Milo said that completing these formalities would take about seven days, so Herag would stay in the city during this period.
On the third day, Robert ca.
"Sir, I’ve been having nightmares these days, dreaming of a monstrous man with an axe chasing , every night being chopped on the head with an axe. Sir, do you think sothing’s haunting ?" Robert looked worried, with prominent dark circles under his eyes, indicating he hadn’t slept well these days.
Herag pondered for a mont, then took out a pocket watch and said, "Seems like sothing is indeed there, I can’t be sure, let clear it for you. This is the High-level Holy Light Technique, capable of dispelling all curses and nightmares. The usage is limited though, but I’ll help you this ti, after all, you helped find my way."
Of course, there was nothing on Robert, at least Herag didn’t see anything.
But to let this unfortunate guy have a good sleep, Herag decided to do a bit of psychological therapy.
He had already used the Holy Healing Technique on himself, but nothing happened, it only left his body warm for a while.
"Thank you, sir!" Robert imdiately recognized the pocket watch as a treasure, its seamless construction was unlike anything he had seen.
Having been an adventurer for so many years, his eyesight was quite excellent too.
Moreover, since Herag wore this pocket watch intimately, anything a Mystic wore closely wouldn’t be simple.
With these thoughts, Robert felt a bit excited, feeling he might be saved.
Herag held the pocket watch, dangling it in front of Robert, and then began to infuse it with magic power to activate the watch.
The pocket watch soon emitted a white glow, and a woman’s phantom appeared, casting a glance at Robert, then gently exhaling a breath towards him.
This breath enveloped Robert, making him feel as if he were soaking in a hot spring, his whole body warming up.
At the sa ti, a plu of black smoke emanated from Robert’s body, quickly dissipating after erging.
"So there really was sothing..." Herag was a bit surprised, not expecting there really was sothing on Robert, and that the Holy Healing Technique actually worked.
Witnessing this, Robert felt a chill of fear, "I knew it, sothing felt off about my body, glad I ca to find Sir Herag. If I waited till he left, my life might not have been saved."
Once that black smoke dissipated from his body, he felt much lighter, having previously felt a lot of pressure weighing down on him.
"You should be able to sleep well now," Herag said in a low voice.
"Thank you for saving , sir!" Robert, overwheld with emotion, knelt on the ground and knocked his head against the floor, clearly having been severely tornted these past few days.
"Alright, go on, head back." Herag waved his hand.
Robert nodded, got up, and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, Herag called out to him, "There’s sothing I want to ask you, though you don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. I’m just a bit curious."
"What’s it, sir? Please ask, and I’ll answer whatever I know." Robert said earnestly.
"I just want to know, who was it that hired you to assassinate Josh?" Herag asked.
