Herag asked Chatiya to confirm the attitude of the Elf Race, mainly for the consideration of Reese and others.

Moreover, if it weren't for special circumstances, he wouldn't let Reese and the others enter the Dark Night Forest.

If the Abyss Plane were to invade the Wizard Plane in the future, Herag would initially choose to bring Reese and others to a remote small town in the Elf Plane.

Herag considered that if he were to leave the Elf Plane in the future, he wouldn't be able to take care of Reese and others.

Leaving them to live on their own in the Elf Plane made him uneasy, but if another force could look after them, he would be much more at ease.

In the Elf Plane, the only ones capable of such a task are naturally the Elf Race.

Chatiya had a great relationship with Reese and others when she was in the Wizard Plane, being almost like sisters with Asuna.

With such a relationship, coupled with Randy's promise, Herag could be more at ease with the Elf Race.

As for why he might leave in the future, that is naturally to improve his strength.

Herag always believed that power is the most fundamental.

When the Abyss Plane invades the Wizard Plane, hiding in the Elf Plane may be safe, but it also lacks resources for cultivation and makes advancement difficult.

The Elves' way of cultivation is different from that of Wizards; they rely on bloodline power and naturally become stronger with age.

However, just to advance to a Level 3 Wizard, Herag needs various kinds of Power of Rules.

Herag contemplated that even if he would seek refuge in the Elf Plane for a short time, he would still likely leave eventually.

Otherwise, his power would remain stagnant, and there would be no hope.

As for where to go, Herag did not know, nor did he have any concrete plan or destination.

But now, Herag was intrigued by the Boundary Land mentioned by Acorn.

From the few words revealed by Acorn, it was clear that the Boundary Land is also a plane belonging to Wizards.

Acorn's words were full of confidence, not the kind of self-aggrandizing confidence, but a confidence that seemed justifiable.

He looked down upon the Wizard Plane.

Wizards of the Wizard Plane seemed insignificant to the Boundary Land, merely one of the bargaining chips in negotiating cooperation with the Elf Race.

As long as the Elf Race agreed, the Boundary Land could drive the Expedition Team of the Wizard Plane out of the Elf Plane.

And this is just one condition in their cooperation.

"What kind of power does the Boundary Land actually possess? Is it a Middle-tier World or a High-tier World?" Herag couldn't help thinking.

From Randy and the others' behavior, they showed deep respect and awe for Acorn.

Although Acorn's attitude had always been cordial, whenever cooperation was mentioned, Randy undeniably felt a lot of pressure.

He seemed completely unable to refuse the cooperation proposed by Acorn, only saying that the specific details needed further consideration.

Randy, as the Elf King, was arguably the most powerful person in the entire Elf Plane.

Even under the World Mother Tree, his reverence for Acorn suggests that either Acorn is extremely powerful, or the power behind Acorn, the Boundary Land, is extremely strong, or perhaps both.

Only with an absolute disparity in power would Randy be so cautious towards an outsider in his own territory.

Herag suddenly felt that the Elf Race was truly unfortunate; just the troubles from the Wizard Plane hadn't been resolved when another Wizard Influence more powerful than the Wizard Plane appeared.

It could only be said that without enough power, it's the same anywhere—always the law of the jungle.

Herag could confirm that the Boundary Land is at least a Middle-tier World, but he could not confirm if it was a High-tier World.

If it's just a Middle-tier World, then it's still manageable, with a limited top-tier combat capacity ceiling.

But if it's a High-tier World, then the upper limit is quite high.

Given the current strength of the Wizard Plane, it is indeed insignificant before a High-tier World.

Herag couldn't help but recall what Acorn said, that they have always sought to resolve issues with the Civilization Plane through peaceful means.

Analyzing the current situation, it seemed that the Boundary Land had only sent an Acorn to the Elf Plane.

Therefore, it was very likely that Parker was injured by Acorn; Parker, as a Level 3 Wizard, could only be severely injured by powers of at least Level 4 Wizard strength.

Acorn's arrival was both a negotiation and a deterrent.

From the perspective of the Boundary Land, achieving cooperation and trade without military engagement would certainly be more in line with beneficial interests than direct warfare.

The Boundary Land is now using its own strength as a deterrent, forcing the Elf Plane to cooperate with them.

What they want is actually the same as the Wizard Plane—a World Tree Seed.

Only the Wizard Plane's information channels were not as well-informed as the Boundary Land and didn't know about the existence of the World Tree Seed, continuing to research how to transplant the World Tree and keep it alive.

The Boundary Land apparently knew more, knowing that transplantation was useless, and only a World Tree Seed would do.

Randy was obviously reluctant to hand over the World Tree Seed, but faced with the pressure from the Boundary Land, he also had no choice but to be willing.

Since the other party came expressly for the World Tree, they would not rest until they achieved their goal.

So far, they are still negotiating by peaceful means; if the talks break down, they will face an invasion like that of the Wizard Plane—only much more ferocious.

Herag thought for a moment and called Toad out, asking: "Do you know of the existence of the Boundary Land?"

"Boundary Land? Never heard of it," Toad shook his head and said.

Herag then recounted the events concerning Acorn and the Boundary Land, explaining everything that had happened.

Toad, puzzled, said: "In my memory, the Endless Plane only had the Wizard Influence in the Wizard Plane. Even if there were Wizards in other planes, they were Wizards from the Wizard Plane, and their numbers wouldn't be large. But from the information revealed by Acorn, the Boundary Land he referred to is surely an Influence with many Wizards, and much stronger than the Wizard Plane."

"This is rather strange. What events occurred while I was asleep..."

Herag speculated: "Could the so-called Boundary Land be related to the Sixth Ring Tower?"

"It's a possibility," Toad said.

Herag's thought was that Toad's memory must be from many years ago.

Back then, the Endless Plane only had the Wizard Influence in the Wizard Plane, so the Wizards in the Boundary Land should also have originated from the Wizard Plane.

Throughout the years, the only Wizard Organization he could find records of that had left the Wizard Plane was the Sixth Ring Tower.

Whether it was due to betrayal or other reasons, it was true that they left the Wizard Plane.

Originally, it was thought they might be in the Abyss Plane, but now it seems they could very well be in this so-called Boundary Land.
