A month and a half passed, the airship passed through many cities, with passengers leaving constantly, and new ones coming aboard.

This period was relatively calm, with no unexpected incidents encountered on the way.

Ever since the airship crash incident over in Crystal City, all airships in the Land of Dawn have strengthened their security measures, increasing the number of personnel patrolling around the airship.

The identity verification of passengers boarding and disembarking from the airship has also become stricter, with any slight anomaly prompting further questions.

It's said that the current airships have added monitoring and sensing witch arrays; any change in situation can be detected immediately.

With this in place, it has become significantly more challenging for the Abyssal Cultists to cause trouble on the airship, with no incidents occurring currently at least.

Herag's life has been very monotonous during this period, consisting almost entirely of meditation practice, studying, eating, and sleeping.

The airship's passengers are varied and mixed, so he tries not to go out in order not to bring trouble to himself.

The airship is heading towards the direction of the Central Region, and along the way, Herag has sensed the presence of several powerful magic power auras from wizards boarding and disembarking from the airship.

These wizards come from various cities in Serlandir, belonging to different factions, with various allegiances.

Herag's direct superior, Parker, is a subordinate of Dawn Mage Mike.

Dawn Mage Mike is one of the three Level 4 Wizards in Serlandir, yet his influence only covers about a third of Serlandir.

The different factions aren't exactly amicable towards each other; the internal strife is no less fierce than the external conflicts, even more intense sometimes.

Herag has been cautious and kept a low profile along this journey, precisely because he understands this point.

He is indeed a subordinate to Parker, but others' backgrounds aren't shabby either; in an actual conflict, such a background doesn't amount to much.

Herag glanced at the window; it was already night outside, pitch black.

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and Herag sensed it was a waiter and a blond young man outside the door.

He glanced and saw these two were strangers to him, not knowing why they had come to see him.

After opening the door, Herag asked, "Is there something you need?"

The waiter was about to speak when the blond man stepped forward with a smile, "Are you Mr. Herag? I'm Medel Taylor, and I've come specifically to invite you to tonight's ball."

"Medel Taylor..."

Herag pondered for a moment and asked, "Is Mr. Medel from the Taylor Family over in Heart of the Sea?"

"Indeed, I didn't expect that Mr. Herag would also know about our far-off Taylor Family." Medel replied with a smile.

Herag chuckled, "The Taylor Family isn't some remote family; Red Witch Aria is your ancestor. Based on that alone, the Taylor Family is a top-notch family in the entire Land of Dawn."

Red Witch Aria, one of Serlandir's three Level 4 Wizards, she originates from the Taylor Family.

To be precise, it's because of Aria that the Taylor Family is as prosperous and flourishing as it is now.

Heart of the Sea is the name of a city located in central Serlandir, very developed, and a bustling city where the Red Witch resides.

Herag took another look at the young blond man; he didn't expect a descendant of the Red Witch to come looking for him.

This Medel is truly from a wizard family, and the Taylor Family has sustained its prosperity for countless generations.

As long as Aria is around, the Taylor Family is the absolute powerhouse in the Land of Dawn.

Other wizards might be Second or Third Generation Wizards; this Medel could be several dozens of generations down the line.

Herag sensed Medel's strength, which is that of a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard.

He then thought that Medel is likely also a participant in the Cradle Action.

Medel smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Herag, for praising our Taylor Family, though it's precisely due to the excellence of our ancestors that we younger generations must strive harder. Even a slight slackening feels like a disgrace to the family."

"Had Mr. Medel heard of me before?" Herag asked.

He was somewhat puzzled because Heart of the Sea is one of the top mega-cities in Serlandir, and Silver Moon City is just a small city on the southern edge.

How would Medel, such a Super Second Generation Wizard, specifically come to invite him to a ball?

Medel looked at Herag earnestly and said, "During the Silver Moon City slum incident, I took notice of Mr. Herag, and later learned more about you. I found that you are truly an exceptional wizard, especially since you've come this far from the Barren Land, a place so scarce in resources, which is really not easy."

"So I've been secretly admiring Mr. Herag for a long time. Since I also need to participate in the Cradle Action this time and heard that you are also on the airship, I couldn't help but take the liberty to get to know you. If I've disturbed you, I truly apologize."

Herag, seeing Medel speak with such confidence, though not entirely convinced, didn't express it. Instead, he politely replied, "How could it be an inconvenience? It's my honor to meet someone like Mr. Medel. Though I usually don't fancy balls and prefer quiet, since Mr. Medel personally invited me, I have no reason not to attend."

Herag was well aware that when dealing with these people, regardless of what they truly think, one must at least maintain appearances well.

The saying goes, 'One doesn't hit a smiling face', so saying a few nice words won't hurt.

Medel beamed with joy, "Then let's quickly go to the ball; it should have already started. If we're late, the beautiful ladies might all have partners."

Herag nodded, closed the door, and walked to the ball venue with Medel, chatting along the way.

"Mr. Herag, actually there's something you might not know. The main reason I came looking for you this time is to ask for your help." Medel showed a slightly worried expression.

"Oh? I wonder in what way I could be of assistance to Mr. Medel. I'm just a junior wizard." Herag replied.

Medel said solemnly, "This time the Taylor Family is determined to win control over that Low-tier World. If I can successfully seize control over that world, my status within the family is bound to rise significantly, and my elders' evaluation of me will undoubtedly improve greatly."

"Herag, to be honest with you, the Taylor Family is indeed very powerful and has many outstanding wizard descendants. But precisely because of this, we younger generations are under great pressure. Resources are limited; if you perform poorly, the resources allocated to you will be much less."

"This Cradle Action is really important to me, so I wish to invite you, Mr. Herag, to be my ally and help me seize control of the Low-tier World."
