Fran waited until then to make a move, which would make it easier to take down Herag without causing too strong a reaction from Serlandir's side.
After all, by that time, Herag would just be an ordinary Level 1 Wizard, and it would only require a bit of compensation.
Fran was a Level 3 Wizard, and Serlandir wouldn't make a big deal over a Level 1 Wizard.
Herag knew this very well, so he didn't hand over the World Staff directly when Pries and the others arrived.
This thing was like a Protective Talisman; as long as it was there, the Serlandir side would at least protect him.
Pries naturally wouldn't ask for it either; he had a good relationship with Herag and understood these principles.
In the following two months, everything was very calm, and there were no other troubles.
When the airship landed at the dock of Silver Moon City, Herag finally felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
Once here, it was truly his own territory.
After returning to Silver Moon City, Herag looked at the sky; Parker's Floating City was still hovering there.
This Floating City was a symbol of strength and power; even if the Eye of the Storm or the Taylor Family wanted to target Herag, they wouldn't make a move on him in Silver Moon City.
Herag had already decided that he wouldn't leave Silver Moon City until he advanced to Level 2 Wizard.
The Spiritual Crystal in his mind had grown larger than before, almost reaching the limit of a Crystalization Wizard.
The energy from the Divine Core stored in the Bloodline Mark had provided Herag tremendous help, greatly speeding up his meditation.
On the airship recently, Herag felt that his meditation speed was significantly slowing down.
After landing in Silver Moon City, he followed Pries to the City Hall to take care of the most important matter first.
In City Hall, Herag placed a World Staff on the table.
Pries picked it up, looked it over, and said with a smile, "This one has control rights, right?"
"It definitely does; I wouldn't trick my own people," Herag said with a smile.
Pries nodded with a smile, took out a stack of parchment, and began filling out various documents, occasionally needing Herag's signature.
This was for registration; once the registration was complete, this World Staff would officially belong to Parker's faction, and everything would be settled.
After signing all the tedious documents, Herag handed the World Staff over to Pries; they would manage it in the future.
Having this was equivalent to having the key to the X-617 World, and all subsequent resource development and utilization depended on them.
Additionally, the teleportation point for the X-617 World would be removed from the Twilight Temple.
Parker's side could choose to keep the teleportation point at the Twilight Temple, but they would need to provide maintenance costs to the Expedition Team.
The number of teleportation points at the Twilight Temple was fixed, and it was very expensive for individuals or other organizations to set one up there.
Silver Moon City could also choose to establish its own teleportation point, but the costs were equally high, depending on their future plans.
These matters had nothing to do with Herag; his task was completed, after all.
"Alright, it's finally done. I'll submit the application tomorrow, and your First-Class Honor Medal should be no problem. Once the medal is approved, there will likely be a celebratory banquet, and you'll be the main character," Pries said with a smile.
Herag wasn't too concerned about this; he just wanted to go home now.
"Nothing else, right? I'm heading back," Herag said.
Pries replied, "You're done, go ahead. I still have a lot to take care of."
...
After leaving City Hall, Herag called for a carriage and headed back to King Street.
When he returned to the Wizard Plane, he contacted Reese and David, telling them to stay safe and not to leave the city area casually.
This was to guard against the Taylor Family making a move on them.
But for now, it didn't seem to have reached that point; the Taylor Family's focus was still on the World Staff.
Another reason was that Medel's death had not been reported, so he was still considered missing, and they were still sending people all over the Demon Plane searching for Medel.
Finding someone on a Plane wasn't easy, and there wouldn't be results soon.
Herag had a buffer period, at least in the short term, he wasn't afraid of the Taylor Family finding out anything.
Currently, the main threat was from Fran, the Level 3 Wizard, and it was hard to defend against such a level of existence if they wanted to attack him.
The best Herag could do was to avoid leaving Silver Moon City as much as possible, and even after advancing to Level 2 Wizard, he should still be very careful.
After the carriage stopped, Herag paid the fare and arrived at the familiar courtyard gate.
The lights inside were still on; Reese was waiting for him, knowing he would return today.
As soon as Herag opened the courtyard gate, footsteps sounded from inside, and Reese opened the door to look at Herag with a smile.
She was wearing a short skirt, with her legs wrapped in not-too-thick or thin black stockings, which reached just to the thigh, revealing white skin.
When they met, they immediately hugged each other tightly, feeling the warmth of each other's breath.
Herag looked at Reese's bright eyes and her fiery red lips...
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and they didn't sleep a wink all night.
...
Fifteen days later.
Herag wore a luxurious and noble noble's attire, while Reese also wore a gown, adjusting Herag's collar.
They were heading to attend a banquet, the banquet for the award of the First-Class Honor Medal.
Not just anyone can get a First-Class Honor Medal; it represents not only ten thousand Contribution Points.
Those who receive this medal are extremely promising individuals who have made significant contributions.
Herag earned this as just a Crystalization Wizard, which was unprecedented.
The banquet was held at the Avila Restaurant, attended by various celebrities of Silver Moon City, and even important figures from other cities.
Among them was Irina, the Level 2 Wizard from Crystal City, wearing an extremely low-cut V-neck dress, chatting and laughing with people around her.
Seeing Herag arrive, she walked over, glanced at Reese holding Herag's arm, and said, "Finally, we meet again, handsome. Why didn't you come out for dinner last time when I asked you, claiming to be busy? Afraid I'd eat you up?"
Herag felt a hint of hostility from Reese and quickly said, "I really was busy preparing for Cradle Operations then, no time for dinner."
"So do you have time now?" Irina said, completely unconcerned with Reese's reaction.
