"Mr. Reece, don't act impulsively, or if you start a fight and get hurt, it would damage our relations," Carolina said.

The duty of the three sisters is to protect Herag's safety and ensure the safety of the World Staff.

Now that Reece is making a move against Herag, it is natural for them to come out and protect him.

Not to mention, Herag previously gave them a benefit of thirty thousand Magic Stones.

Reece looked at the Tapia sisters, hesitantly stepping back.

His gaze skipped over the sisters to look at Herag, knowing he couldn't do anything to him here, he had to swallow his pride and leave, staying would only add to his frustration.

Herag watched Reece leave angrily, understanding that there would surely be more trouble to come.

But there was no choice, he couldn't possibly give up the World Staff, which was a conflict that couldn't be resolved.

...

Over two months later, Pries finally arrived at the Central Region with his people.

"Long time no see, Herag." Pries greeted Herag upon arriving at the Rose Inn.

Herag smiled and shook his hand: "Why haven't you reached Level 3 Wizard yet? I'm almost at Level 2 Wizard."

"You think reaching Level 3 Wizard is that easy? If it were that easy, everyone would be Lord Parker," Pries replied helplessly.

"Everyone, get acquainted, this is Herag, some of you may already know him, we are all direct affiliates of Lord Parker and can absolutely trust each other."

Pries was accompanied by four people, all Level 2 Wizards from Silver Moon City.

Herag glanced around, recognizing two familiar faces who he had seen at Silver Moon City Hall before.

Back then, Herag had been involved in quite a few Abyssal Cultist events, so he had some encounters.

"Little Pries, long time no see!" Carolina teased Pries.

Pries laughed, "Big sister Carolina, you are getting more and more beautiful."

After some pleasantries, Herag learned that Pries had grown up with the Tapia sisters from childhood, being companions since their Wizard Apprentice days.

At that time, Carolina was the leader of the group, with Pries being the youngest among them.

Everyone arrived at the dock in the Central Region, opting not to use Serlandir's airship but preparing to take the Wizard Alliance's airship back to Silver Moon City.

Although the Wizard Alliance's airship had a complicated personnel situation, no other organization would recklessly attack the Wizard Alliance's airship.

If any Wizard Organization dared to attack the Wizard Alliance's airship, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the entire Land of Dawn.

Thus, in terms of safety, taking the Wizard Alliance's airship at least reduced the likelihood of others flipping the table.

If Herag and the others took Serlandir's small airship, they might get entirely dealt with, and they had no doubt about others' means.

Once on the airship, Herag and his group went to their pre-booked rooms, with Herag's room at the center, surrounded by others protecting him.

The subsequent journey was to last three months; if everything went smoothly, they would arrive at Silver Moon City.

Once in Silver Moon City, security would greatly increase since it was Parker's territory as well as Dawn Mage Mick's domain.

It would be almost impossible for the Taylor Family to make a move there, as it would be like directly causing trouble at Mick's place, which was different in nature.

The first half of the journey was peaceful until the arrival of an unexpected guest.

"Haha, everyone, don't be alarmed, I'm just here to ask young Herag some questions."

A round-bellied, middle-aged man from the Mediterranean region suddenly appeared in Herag's room, prompting Pries, the Tapia sisters, and others to become immediately on alert.

"Wizard Fran from the Eye of the Storm?" Pries asked.

Fran nodded with a smile, "It seems you are all from Parker's side, don't be nervous, I won't bully the young, just ask some questions."

Herag stepped forward, saying, "Is there something you need?"

"Is Malcolm still alive?" Fran asked directly.

Herag didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a moment.

Just as he was about to answer, Fran said directly, "It seems he's dead."

Fran continued to ask, "Did you kill him?"

He squinted slightly, looking at Herag with a gentle smile on his face.

Herag hadn't spoken yet, and Fran smiled and said, "Your heartbeat has already told me, it seems that child indeed died at your hands. To be honest, I truly never would've thought he'd perish there. Because normally, no one within the Crystalization Wizards would be his match. You killing him shows that you are indeed strong and have great potential, I admire you."

Fran's gaze at Herag was indeed admiring, with a high evaluation of Herag.

He immediately changed his tone: "However, Malcolm was also a student I admired, I invested a lot of effort in him. Now that he's killed by you, naturally, I need to do something."

As Fran spoke, Pries and the Tapia sisters immediately moved closer, and a Level 3 Witch Array was promptly set up, surrounded by a green circle.

Seeing this scene, Fran chuckled, folding his hands behind his back like an old man, "No need to be nervous, I said I wouldn't make a move, so I won't, at least not now. Naturally, I'll follow the Alliance's rules, if I were to make a move here, it would inevitably affect others. So I only came to confirm things this time, young Herag, see you later. I'll be going now, don't want to stay and be an eyesore."

Fran smiled and his figure then disappeared.

After he left, Pries still didn't put away the Witch Array, maintaining a state of alertness.

After a while, Herag realized his back was full of sweat, only then recognizing how much pressure there was just now.

Facing the pressure from a Level 3 Wizard directly is something a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard could not withstand.

Though Fran didn't make a move, Herag didn't feel relieved at all.

Just thinking about it clarified that Fran refrained from acting merely because the place was unsuitable for action.

With Pries and the Tapia sisters assisting, they had already made ample preparations, even Fran wouldn't find it easy to handle.

If Fran attempted to resolve them, such an occurrence would inevitably cause the entire airship to fall.

The responsibility for the airship's fall couldn't be borne by Fran, not even the Eye of the Storm could escape the Wizard Alliance's punishment.

Upon weighing the pros and cons, Fran naturally chose not to make a move at this time and place.

In his view, Herag was just a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard, and once Herag handed over the World Staff, Serlandir wouldn't value him as much, and the protection force wouldn't be as strong as now.
