Herag continued to browse through this information.
He discovered that those powerful beings from the Abyss Plane seemed to have never given up on invading the Wizard Plane.
Those beings used various methods to entice people from the Wizard Plane to become their followers, then used those followers to do their bidding.
These followers are mostly some relatively weak wizards, knights, or just ordinary people.
With their willpower, if they come into contact with the powerful beings of the Abyss Plane, they would definitely not be able to resist their allure.
If they are wizards with a certain degree of strength, it's generally not easy to be swayed.
But if such a wizard comes into contact with the powerful beings of the Abyss Plane, they are mostly doing so voluntarily.
These people often pursue power, which leads them to willingly embrace the Abyss Plane.
Seeing this, Herag couldn't help but think of someone.
That person is Fegar.
He suddenly realized that Fegar was very likely a follower of some being from the Abyss Plane.
When Fegar first boarded the ship, he was already a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice, but his aptitude was only five points.
After entering the Green Cottage, he became Malcolm's experimental subject.
Fegar was promoted to an Official Wizard in Malcolm's laboratory, most likely without using a magic potion to break through.
Herag recalled that at the Death Swamp Ruins, Fegar deliberately sabotaged the witch array in the Death Swamp ruins, attempting to open a rift leading to the Abyss Plane.
All these actions and signs indicate that Fegar is very likely an Abyssal Cultist.
He has been utilizing the existence of the Abyss Plane to increase his own strength, enabling him to advance unimpeded and become very powerful.
Back on the ship, Dino once mentioned that Fegar's spiritual power was very unstable and must have been forcibly enhanced by some special means.
It now seems that Fegar had already come into contact with the Abyss Plane's existence before boarding the ship.
To him, wizard aptitude was irrelevant because his strength increase had nothing to do with his own qualification.
Behind Fegar is a certain being from the Abyss Plane.
As Herag continued browsing this information, he pondered many questions, and before he knew it, the carriage had arrived at number 13, King Street, the location of the estate Herag had bought.
"Sir, we're here." The driver quietly reminded, his words filled with respect.
The driver, having run cars in Silver Moon City for many years, naturally knew what King Street represented.
Only members of Serlandir's city were eligible to buy houses here and live there.
Every official member of Serlandir is a big figure, at least in the eyes of the driver, and not someone they could afford to offend.
"Hmm." Herag took out two silver coins; this was the fare.
The driver respectfully accepted them with both hands and watched Herag leave.
When Herag got home, Reese and David were already waiting in the living room downstairs.
They had already learned from the tavern forum about what happened at Israel's house.
Seeing their worried faces, Herag remembered he had been so focused on searching for information related to Abyssal Cultists that he forgot to check his messages.
"As long as you're fine, I was worried since you didn't reply." Reese breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry for worrying you." Herag said.
David asked, "What happened there? I read on the tavern forum that several people died, and it was something to do with Abyssal Cultists."
Herag nodded, "Right, some Abyssal Cultists used themselves as sacrifices to open a rift leading to the Abyss Plane. After the rift appeared, a gaze was cast from the other side, killing several people. Fortunately, those six people were all ordinary and not strong enough, and the plane rift lasted only about two seconds. Had it lasted any longer, the consequences would have been dire."
"Who are Abyssal Cultists?" Reese and David were somewhat puzzled.
Herag took out his talisman stone and displayed some of the information he had been browsing, saying, "You must learn to use this talisman stone. By using the tavern forum's search feature, you can find many valuable clues."
It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. David and Reese clearly hadn't fully learned how to use the talisman stone, having only used it as a communication tool.
"Understood." David and Reese, being smart, quickly caught on.
As Herag watched them start searching for related information, he also shared some of the intelligence summaries he had just gathered.
After an hour had passed.
"I feel like the Land of Dawn is much more dangerous than the Barren Land; there are even such beings as Abyssal Cultists." Reese muttered.
Herag nodded, "Indeed, the levels of power here are much higher than those in the Barren Land. So once you encounter danger, it might be a power far exceeding your own strength. We must be extremely cautious in our actions."
Reese and David both had somewhat grave expressions; they were weaker than Herag.
If they had encountered the situation Herag just faced, they might not have made it back.
Through this incident, the three of them became more aware of the importance of enhancing their own strength.
The next morning, Herag welcomed a guest.
Pries had arrived early outside Herag's courtyard, and Herag sensed it immediately, so he came out to greet him.
"Did you not sleep last night?" Herag noticed that Pries seemed somewhat tired, still wearing the same clothes he was in when they met last night.
Pries smiled bitterly, "Blame those damn bugs! With the appearance of Abyssal Cultists, we must thoroughly investigate the entire matter and inspect everyone present."
"Inspect?" Herag didn't quite understand what this inspection meant.
Pries explained, "Because the plane rift to the Abyss Plane was opened for a brief time, this is an extremely severe event. It could potentially allow the Abyss Plane to find a new invasion coordinate."
"We can only pray now that they didn't acquire a new invasion coordinate through this plane rift, otherwise..."
Pries' words were tinged with bitterness. Herag's eyebrows twitched, realizing the gravity of the situation.
For one plane to invade another, the first step is to acquire the plane's coordinates.
Then not every plane coordinate can serve as an invasion point. The coordinate point must be very stable to facilitate invasion activities.
However, such plane coordinate points are difficult to find; most are extremely unstable plane coordinates.
These plane coordinates cannot serve as invasion points.
That's why the probability of the Abyss Plane acquiring a stable coordinate through last night's opened plane rift is still very low.
Most likely, they are coordinates of no use.
This is not the first time such an event has occurred. It has happened many times before, but each time the Abyss Plane has failed to acquire useful coordinates.
