This is the apparition of a toad.

When Herag saw this apparition appear on the mirror's surface, it felt strangely familiar. He felt that he had seen it somewhere before.

When the information about the toad transmitted into his mind, Herag remembered that he had seen this toad twice in the Abyss Plane.

The first encounter ended quickly as he couldn't communicate, and not a word was exchanged before he was brought back to the Wizard Plane.

During the second encounter, the toad transferred the common language of the Abyss Plane to Herag, and then they chatted a bit.

At the last encounter, Herag was merely a Wizard Apprentice, but now he was a Level 2 Wizard.

The information transferred by the toad was: "Not seen for a while, and you've grown quite a bit."

To Herag, these past ten-plus years felt long and eventful.

But to the toad, it was merely a short moment.

Herag replied, "So it was you, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"I sensed your aura and came to take a look. I didn't expect your bloodline level to be so high. Last time you came to the Abyss Plane, you were far from me. By the time I arrived, you had already left. At that time, I sensed the aura of an Ancestral Bloodline, and it turns out it was truly yours," the toad said.

Herag knew that the last time mentioned by the toad was surely the time he was dragged into the Abyss Plane by the Abyssal Cultist.

Back then, the Abyssal Cultist's method only allowed Herag to stay in the Abyss Plane for a brief period,

and after dealing with that Abyssal Cultist, he was forced back to the Wizard Plane in less than a minute.

Because he didn't have time to release his bloodline form, he was heavily injured as a result.

Herag had a deep impression of this event.

He quickly asked, "Toad, can I make a Messenger Contract with you?"

"I have remembered my name, Nicholas Carlos Camby," the toad replied.

"Nicholas Carlos Camby..."

Herag silently repeated the name, feeling it was quite familiar.

Suddenly he remembered something and quickly took out a pocket watch from his Space Ring.

It was this pocket watch that guided Herag on the path of becoming a wizard.

The Starry Sky Meditation Technique that Herag practiced now came from this pocket watch.

And the owner of the pocket watch was Nicholas Carlos Camby.

Based on the two pieces of hidden information in the pocket watch, Herag could deduce that Nicholas was a wizard of the Sixth Ring Tower, and he was likely very powerful.

What he didn't expect was that the toad's name was exactly the same as Nicholas's.

Herag recalled that when he first met the toad, it had mentioned sensing a familiar aura around him.

He now understood that this familiar aura was likely due to the pocket watch and possibly his own practice of the Starry Sky Meditation Technique.

Herag quickly asked, "Was it you who left this pocket watch?"

"I... I don't really remember. Although I have recalled quite a bit now, I have no memory of what you mentioned," the toad said.

The toad had no memory of what Herag mentioned, unsure if he simply hadn't recalled it yet or if they were not the same person.

Herag then said, "I became a wizard through the Starry Sky Meditation Technique hidden in the pocket watch. The information inside indicated that with this pocket watch, one could join the Sixth Ring Tower. Nicholas, are you a wizard of the Sixth Ring Tower?"

"Sixth Ring Tower... I feel very familiar with it, but I don't yet have any related memory," the toad said.

Seeing the toad's response, Herag roughly guessed the situation in his heart.

This toad was likely the very Nicholas who left the pocket watch. The names being exactly the same couldn't be mere coincidence.

What puzzled Herag was, why would a wizard turn into a toad, becoming a demon of the Abyss Plane?

Although the toad was strong, it seemed unnecessary for a wizard to become a demon of the Abyss Plane.

The specifics could only be clarified when the toad slowly recalled them, but the most important thing now was to sign the Messenger Contract for easier future contact.

Herag said, "We can discuss these matters later. Let's first sign the Messenger Contract."

"No problem," the toad replied.

With mutual agreement, Herag and the toad successfully completed the Messenger Contract.

Herag would need to pay one Gold Coin each time he required the toad to complete a task.

This cost was virtually no cost at all, merely for fulfilling the ritual.

Once the contract was completed, the black mirror lost its luster and was no longer capable of summoning the messenger.

With a thought, a delicate ripple spread through the space in front of Herag, and a toad appeared before him.

"Is this your true form or just a projection?" Herag asked.

The toad glanced around and said to Herag, "Just a projection. The true form cannot reach your plane."

"What's the strength of your true form now?" Herag asked.

"Equivalent to a Sixth Ring Wizard, I suppose," the toad replied.

Herag contemplated and continued to ask, "What level is this projection equivalent to?"

"This projection is quite special. The defensive strength is around the level of a Fifth Ring Wizard, but its offensive capabilities are limited, merely equivalent to a Third Ring Wizard," the toad said after pondering for a moment.

Herag understood. Simply put, this toad's projection was invincible in defense, posing no threat to anything below a Level 5 Wizard.

However, as it was just a projection, many of the true form's techniques couldn't be utilized, with offensive ability only equal to a Level 3 Wizard.

For the toad, this was indeed quite weak, merely defensively sturdy with the offensive strength of little value.

But for Herag, it was a different story, as a Level 3 Wizard could dominate in the Wizard Plane.

As long as he didn't encounter the top individuals from each Wizard Organization, he'd be nearly invincible.

Of course, this didn't include the unknown entities in the polluted areas.

After learning this information, Herag stroked his chin and began to consider that many things could be reconsidered.

The toad shot him a glance and asked, "Do you need me to deal with someone for you?"

Herag hadn't expected his thoughts to be seen through so quickly and chuckled, "Indeed, I do have a bit of trouble that requires your help. What price do you require for your assistance?"

"Just one Gold Coin," the toad said.

It really didn't care about these things, all for complying with the rules of the Messenger Contract.

Herag laughed, "Okay!"

The toad said, "Before that, tell me what you know. Although I have remembered my name, I know very little about past events. I recently awoke and have forgotten too much."

Herag understood that the toad was referring to the Sixth Ring Tower, now almost certain that the toad was indeed Nicholas.

He took out the pocket watch and said, "Actually, I don't know much."
