Kane was also a Wizard of Serlandir and was Parker's direct subordinate, just like Pries.

The only difference was that Pries was responsible for managing affairs within Silver Moon City, while Kane followed Parker in various plane wars.

The news of Herag's arrival had been communicated long ago, but since there was no exact time confirmed, no one had come to greet him.

He had already been here once, so he didn't need any guidance.

As Herag walked into the camp, he saw Kane sitting at a table, with thick stacks of parchment piled high.

Kane was busy writing something quickly on a piece of parchment, looking very occupied.

Herag approached and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Kane."

Hearing the voice, Kane lifted his head and, after looking for a moment, suddenly realized, "So it's Mr. Herag. I didn't expect you to grow so fast in just a few years. Honestly, when I first heard this news, I was a bit skeptical and even wondered if it really was the Herag I used to know."

Herag smiled and replied, "Maybe I've just been lucky."

"How does that saying go? Luck is an excuse for the weak, a modesty for the strong." Kane remarked.

Kane was quite moved, as he had personally witnessed Herag's events after entering the Elf Plane.

What was once just a Gaseous Wizard had, in a blink of an eye, become a Level 2 Wizard, with an aura not at all weaker than his own.

Such a rapid advancement could definitely not be explained by luck alone.

"How is Lord Parker now?" Kane asked.

He had stayed in the Elf Plane for a long time, and his information was not up to date.

Herag said, "Lord Parker has been recuperating in the Floating City, with no news being disclosed."

"Understood..." Kane nodded, his face full of worry.

Herag asked, "I heard that Lord Parker wasn't injured by the Elf Race, could it be that they hired some help?"

"Well..." Kane was a bit hesitant, "I'm actually not very clear on it, as a lot of information has been sealed. Even with my level of access, I cannot know the full details. The only thing I can be sure of is that Lord Parker was indeed not injured by the Elf Race."

Kane looked around, cast a sound insulation spell, and then said, "Since you are one of Lord Parker's men, I can tell you what I've seen. In my view, Lord Parker was injured by a Wizard's magic. Such traces on the wounds, with strong Magic Power residue, must have been caused by a Wizard."

"A Wizard? Aren't all the people in the Elf Plane part of the expedition team? The expedition teams shouldn't be allowed to kill each other, right?" Herag exclaimed in surprise.

Kane sighed and said, "That's the rule, but these rules don't apply to the big shots. Who knows what kind of grudges these big shots have, meeting in another plane and fighting it out is quite normal. It's just unknown which power's Wizard has injured Lord Parker."

"The information is so tightly sealed that, from my perspective, it must have been an extraordinary big shot who injured Lord Parker, which is why everything has been sealed. And for Lord Parker to suffer in silence, it can only be those few individuals."

"Those few?" Herag immediately thought of the Level 4 Wizards from various powers.

Given Parker's strength and status, only those Level 4 Wizards could grievously wound him.

And only those Level 4 Wizards could cause Parker to suffer in silence and not speak of it.

As for the information being sealed, it makes perfect sense since internal conflicts like this shouldn't be spread.

This was Kane's understanding of the events from his perspective.

But in Herag's view, it was entirely different; he considered another possibility.

Herag believed that Parker might not have been injured by a Wizard from the Wizard Plane.

He had once encountered a Wizard with a crow on his shoulder in the Demon Plane, who wasn't part of the expedition team, nor from the Wizard Plane.

"The dignity of the Holy Tower cannot be violated!"

This sentence had been etched in Herag's mind, and based on this, he speculated that there might be another group of Wizard influence.

This group of Wizards was not from the Wizard Plane but located somewhere else.

Given the strength demonstrated by that Wizard, it appeared to exceed the realm of Level 4 Wizards.

But this was merely Herag's conjecture; he could not ascertain what level of power that Wizard truly possessed.

Herag thought, since he encountered such Wizards in the Demon Plane, it was naturally possible to meet such Wizards in the Elf Plane as well.

After Parker was severely injured, he remained in the Floating City all these years, his injuries must have been very serious.

Currently, in the Land of Dawn, where strength is lacking, Level 3 Wizards are the absolute backbone.

Even if there were any grudges, it wouldn't be possible to injure Parker like this just at this moment.

Moreover, there was no known life-and-death enemy of Parker. If there were, there would have been some rumors long ago.

However, there hasn't been any word of it, making the possibility of another force's Wizards making a move much less likely.

After all, he is a Level 3 Wizard; if another force had taken action, Serlandir would certainly have reacted and not suffered in silence.

As for it being an internal action within Serlandir, that made even less sense, as there's no reason to deplete one's own strength, especially during plane wars.

Herag further connected this with the expedition team's action of sealing information, making him more certain of his guess.

The Wizard Alliance in the Land of Dawn does not want other Wizards to know there exists another Wizard influence, hence the sealed information.

And after Parker was injured, knowing this full well, he didn't disclose any information.

Given the power demonstrated by the Wizard seen in the Demon Plane, disposing of Parker should have been an easy task.

The ones who acted this time were mostly other Wizards. Unknown whether they couldn't completely kill Parker or if they intentionally held back.

Herag's mind was rapidly analyzing various possibilities based on the information he had.

He first considered the standpoint issue of this group of Wizards. Since they severely injured Parker, their standpoint was obviously not on the side of the expedition team, or with the Wizard Alliance of the Land of Dawn.

Of course, this also has to consider the reason for their clash with Parker, and not hastily draw a conclusion.

Herag recalled how he was saved by these individuals on the Demon Plane and was not harmed by them.

This made Herag wonder whether these individuals do not harbor hostility towards the Wizards of the Wizard Plane either.

However, Herag also speculated that this might be attributed to his Meditation Method.

If those individuals were truly Wizards of the Sixth Ring Tower, then it made sense that they saved him, but this does not mean they stood on the side of the Wizard Plane.
