Wendy is an extremely beautiful woman with great feminine charm, with countless outstanding talents and wizards captivated by her appearance.
She also relied on her beauty to maneuver among various forces, expanding White Mountain and Black Water's business increasingly.
However, Wendy is obviously a woman with her own means, and among those who covet her beauty, there are quite a few powerful and influential people.
But until today, no one has succeeded in pursuing her.
Instead, many men have been toyed with by her, giving a lot of resources and power, but without any advantage gaining.
Some have thought of using force, but the outcomes were not very favorable.
White Mountain and Black Water's business scale is very large, naturally involving many tangled interests.
Someone once tried to deal with Wendy, but in the end, their own side ended up dead at home, with no clue as to who did it.
Since then, few have dared to trouble Wendy again.
Herag, after browsing through the information about this woman Wendy, felt it was very similar to Erza's situation.
This Wendy must be pushed out by the wizard family behind her, aiming to seize White Mountain and Black Water's business, taking control into their own hands.
And Wendy standing for over ten years in the Land of Dawn and making her business even better is clearly inseparable from the help of the wizard family behind her.
This is not a woman to provoke easily; Herag quickly concluded.
He sighed deeply, feeling that this task was not easy to accomplish.
"What's wrong?" Reese saw Herag sigh, closed her book, approached, and leaned directly into Herag's arms, her long legs resting on the sofa.
Herag's hand slipped and held Reese in a bridal hold, saying in a low voice, "It's nothing, just planning to do a Witch Array task tomorrow to get familiar with witch arrays and accumulate some experience."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Reese lifted her head, gently parting her red lips…
Early the next morning, Herag went out and hailed a carriage parked by the roadside, heading towards 75 Heather Street.
Sitting in the carriage, Herag used Shenlan's environment detection to observe the surroundings.
As they got closer to the rich district in the southern part of Silver Moon City, the situation around also changed noticeably.
Firstly, the flow of people here was significantly less, and you could barely see anyone dressed in rags on the street.
In other parts of Silver Moon City, or rather throughout the Land of Dawn, many cities had people who lived like beggars.
They might be from the slums, or have fallen to this position for various reasons.
There is no dedicated institution in the Land of Dawn to shelter them, and without food supply outside the slums, they can only survive by begging on the streets.
To ordinary people, these people are sources of chaos.
Stealing and robbery are common occurrences; having become beggars, there's nothing worse for them, so they do things without scruples.
For many ordinary people, this is a huge problem; their homes don't have any witch arrays to protect them.
If fortunate, they just lose some belongings; if not, they could lose their lives.
For those with money and power, these people are also a nuisance, as they regard their lives as much more precious than those of the poor.
In civilian residential areas, this is a big problem and annoyance.
However, in the rich district, these beggars can't even enter; there are dedicated personnel for the security management of this area.
Anyone who looks suspicious will be questioned.
As for the ragged beggars, they are directly driven away with sticks.
Moreover, the mansions in the rich district are protected by witch arrays, so there's no worry about them being climbed into.
The carriage Herag took was stopped just as it entered Heather Street, and a man wearing a City Hall uniform checked the coachman's Talisman Stone and glanced at his identity information.
Then he asked Herag to take out his Talisman Stone for checking. Seeing Herag was a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard with Level 1 Witch Array Master and Level 1 Alchemist certifications, his expression immediately became respectful.
Finally, he also discovered that Herag was an official member of Serlandir, making him even more respectful to Herag.
"Take care, my lord. If you encounter any trouble here, feel free to look for me," this City Hall employee respectfully said.
Herag responded with a faint "Hmm" and then lowered the curtain, allowing the carriage to continue forward.
After entering Heather Street, the scene clearly changed.
The residences around were large courtyards with extensive grounds, and the distance between each was also quite far.
Some residences even had guards standing outside, whose strength was formidable, with two Knight Level personnel at the gate.
It was imaginable that the identity of the manor's owner was equally distinctive.
Although Herag could recruit some Knight Level entourage, it wasn't necessary.
For a wizard at his level, knight entourage were more like adornments, with symbolic rather than practical significance.
For such unnecessary expenses, Herag naturally wouldn't waste his Magic Stones.
"Sir, we've arrived," the coachman said respectfully outside the carriage after gently pulling it to a stop.
"Okay, thank you." Herag handed three silver coins to the coachman.
The fare was estimated based on the distance, without any meter like in taxis from past lives, relying on customary rules.
People generally paid based on the general distance, and those who could afford carriages wouldn't mind this amount of money.
If they encountered someone who only gave two copper coins or no money at all, these coachmen could only swallow the loss.
Such occurrences were rare, and if it happened, they would just have to consider themselves unlucky.
Therefore, these coachmen often parked their carriages outside rich districts or on places like King Street.
Those who lived in these places either had some wealth or status and wouldn't usually short on fare.
Herag glanced at the manor before him, seeing a large villa inside.
The villa had only three floors but covered a vast area, aligned from north to south, with dozens of rooms inside, presumably.
Standing outside, through Shenlan, Herag sensed the comings and goings of servants inside, numbering around forty to fifty.
According to the collected information, this manor housed only Wendy as the mistress, with the rest being servants.
Herag took out his Talisman Stone, opened Lorna's chat box, and sent a message: "Lady Lorna, I am at the gate."
"Okay, hold on, I will be right there," Lorna replied.
After a while, footsteps were heard from behind the door, which promptly opened.
A woman in her forties stood behind the gate, surprised to see Herag so young.
She had seen Herag's Level 1 Witch Array Master and Level 1 Alchemist tags, expecting an older wizard. Meeting him now, she found him remarkably young.
