With Mayer's abilities, he couldn't find any other women with backgrounds, and others didn't think highly of him either.

For him, it was entirely a matter of begging Misu, which is why he humbled himself before Misu.

Mayer for the sake of dividing the inheritance had almost lost his sanity, hence came up with such an absurd idea.

Misu became thoroughly disappointed with this man after hearing what Mayer said.

The two have been married for three years, but the marriage has always been in name only.

Aside from the lack of ability in that aspect, Mayer has indulged in every other bad habit he could.

Misu only barely maintains the role of a wife because of family reasons.

She even prayed to the gods to conceive a child, but all just for the sake of this family.

To Misu, she actually didn't care about that money.

She was born into a Wizard Family and naturally wouldn't value this money too much.

Herag watched this unfold without knowing what to say, he couldn't really help Misu.

He could guide Pex in Swordsmanship, but with Misu, he was truly powerless, unable to reach out.

...

A month later.

Herag, during this period, continued to research several Spell Models for Second-level Spells, delving into Spatial Rules and Time Rules.

Many things happened during this period, the Nightingale Commerce Association had officially launched their Magic Potion, rapidly occupying the market.

Because the Magic Potion introduced by the Nightingale Commerce Association was cheaper and more effective, it was very popular, causing a huge impact on other Magic Potion merchants.

Some associations even directly complained to the Wizard Alliance, accusing the Nightingale Commerce Association of malicious competition, suppressing other associations.

Everyone usually sells so much, you suddenly drop the price, are you flipping the table?

However, after the Wizard Alliance accepted the complaint and investigated, they found that the Nightingale Commerce Association truly did not maliciously lower prices; their costs were indeed much lower, so selling cheaper was appropriate.

Moreover, with the potion being more effective and popular, it is very reasonable.

This was someone else's capability, and the Wizard Alliance couldn't interfere.

Herag wasn't too concerned about these business matters, with Vernon in charge over there, he didn't need to worry too much.

What he cared about was another matter, which was the trade between the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land officially opening up.

Everyone could apply to the major Wizard Organizations to go to the Barren Land and establish trade relations.

The people on Herag's side acted quickest and had long prepared a series of things.

As he was with Serlandir, coupled with Serlandir having a share in it, all applications were instantly approved.

After trade opened up, an airship took off from Silver Moon City heading towards the Barren Land.

In the past, it was necessary to go through the Wizard Alliance for review, but now the major Wizard Organizations reviewed them themselves, equivalent to having no restrictions.

Herag did not take this opportunity to go to the Barren Land, as he knew there was still a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

And that was Fran, the Level 3 Wizard of the Eye of the Storm.

These years Herag has stayed in Silver Moon City, focused solely on Meditation Practice, not going anywhere.

Everything seemed calm, as if Fran had forgotten him.

But Herag knew very well that these few years are just a brief moment for Wizards, Fran definitely has the patience to wait.

As long as there's an opportunity, Fran would certainly strike.

Besides Fran, the Taylor Family over there also wasn't peaceful.

Even though Herag had already made the situation in the Demon Plane clear, Serlandir still asked about it every now and then.

The topic of inquiry was always the same, whether there was any information related to Medel.

After the experience of Fran's questioning, Herag spent a lot of money buying a Witchcraft Artifact called Pale Heart.

This is a Level 2 Witchcraft Artifact, shaped like a feather badge, small and exquisite, costing one hundred and eighty thousand Magic Stones.

Pale Heart can shield against other Wizards' detection and hide its own various auras and information.

Herag didn't want to be questioned by a Level 3 Wizard like Fran again, revealing everything without speaking.

With Pale Heart, it was much safer.

Soon after Herag wore Pale Heart, people from the Taylor Family came, through formal channels to ask about some things.

It involved a lot of key issues regarding Medel, and Herag answered them without any leaks.

Anyway, he just said that there were indeed some conflicts in the X-617 World, but after entering the Demon Plane, he never saw Medel, and he quickly returned from the Demon Plane.

With the protection of Pale Heart, the Taylor Family didn't discern any information from him.

Moreover, Herag indeed hadn't stayed long before being sent back by the Expedition Team, from a probability standpoint, it was truly difficult to encounter other Wizards in such a short time, let alone just happening to meet Medel.

Therefore, for the time being, the Taylor Family had no concrete evidence to prove that Herag did anything to Medel.

The past two years were fine, but because they hadn't found Medel, the Taylor Family started asking again occasionally.

Herag just played dumb, distancing himself from the matter altogether.

Medel died in the Demon Plane with even her soul being dealt with by Herag, hence he wasn't worried about the soul being retrieved.

Over the years, some Wizards who participated in the Cradle Action gradually returned, around twenty people.

Most of them were still in the Demon Plane, either not found or dead.

The entire plane was simply too large, the Expedition Team only had so many people, and it was remarkable to find around twenty people in these few years.

Even though the Taylor Family haven't done anything to Herag for now, he remained vigilant at all times.

He knew these big families sometimes didn't need evidence to act, they only needed a reason, so he couldn't relax his guard.

The problem Herag now faced was, in order to advance to a Level 3 Wizard, he needed the aid of the Key of Rules.

If he relied solely on his own comprehension of the Power of Rules, it would probably take thousands of years to fully comprehend all rules.

This time span was excessively long, Herag couldn't afford to wait now.

He had already seen such a future, therefore couldn't follow the previous idea of slow growth using time, eventually advancing to a Level 3 Wizard.

Now, he must rapidly increase his strength as quickly as possible, so he continues to pursue the Key of Rules to help him swiftly comprehend rules.

But the reliable channels for acquiring the Key of Rules currently are only Serlandir's secret vault, requiring several thousand Contribution Points to exchange.

Herag clearly knew he couldn't accumulate Contribution Points slowly for exchange, as that process would also take a long time.

By the time he's amassed enough Contribution Points, the Wizard Plane might be destroyed.

Therefore, he needs to find other channels for acquiring the Key of Rules.
