Although Dawn Mage Mick is one of the three major Level 4 Wizards of Serlandir, this time, due to being at fault, he has been passive from the start.

Therefore, on Mick's side, he always has to suffer some losses and give up something, which is an unwritten rule accepted by everyone.

Taking the blame is not uncommon; today you take the blame, tomorrow he takes the blame. Everyone has experienced this.

It's just that this time, it's your turn.

Silver Moon City thus became a bargaining chip at the negotiation table, and its future ownership is still undetermined.

In fact, the reason Silver Moon City became a bargaining chip is not just because its City Lord is Parker.

The more important reason is that after the trade route between the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land was opened, Silver Moon City became a hot commodity.

Originally, Silver Moon City was the southernmost city of the Land of Dawn, remote and not considered a good city.

But now that the trade route between the Land of Dawn and the Barren Land is open, Silver Moon City instantly became the city closest to the Barren Land.

Many logistics from the Land of Dawn need to pass through here to go to the Barren Land, which has magnified the value of Silver Moon City countless times.

There are too many interests involved in this, with many people eyeing the piece of meat that is Silver Moon City.

Coincidentally, Parker got into trouble in the Elf Plane and became the scapegoat.

Those who have been eyeing Silver Moon City naturally and inevitably brought the topic to Silver Moon City, using it as a bargaining chip.

Those eyeing Silver Moon City naturally include people from the Taylor Family, but Silver Moon City certainly still belongs to Serlandir; no other Wizard Organizations can get involved.

Serlandir will not let Silver Moon City fall into the hands of other Wizard Organizations; no matter how Silver Moon City is divided, it ultimately belongs to Serlandir.

The Taylor Family very much wants to get their hands on Silver Moon City, using various means.

Upon hearing this, Herag couldn't help but recall his own experiences.

It seems that Svallo and the others came after me not just because of the Medel incident, but also due to the struggle over the interests of Silver Moon City.

If I fall into the hands of the Taylor Family, I will surely become a tool in their hands for negotiation.

At that time, they could pin the murder of Medel on me, making Mick suffer even more losses.

Although in the strictest sense, this does not count as pinning the blame, it seems that the Taylor Family actually does not have direct evidence.

They only saw me appear there, but did not see the process of me killing Medel.

But this is already enough. You went there, and then Medel was found dead there.

For the Taylor Family, this is enough evidence for conviction.

At that time, Herag would also become a bargaining chip for the Taylor Family in negotiations.

"Can Silver Moon City be preserved?" Herag asked.

He meant whether Silver Moon City could remain in the hands of Master Mick.

Pries sighed, "Very difficult, but we are trying our best. It all depends on Master Mick's thoughts. If he wants to maintain Serlandir's internal unity and give those watching a dignified explanation, he might let go. If that happens, no matter how hard we try, it will be useless."

Herag was silent for a while; he roughly understood the situation.

If Mick insists on not letting go, it could lead to other disputes.

How things develop in the future depends on what Mick values more.

It is unknown how high Silver Moon City's position is in Mick's heart. If he doesn't care about these things, then Silver Moon City will be handed over to others.

After all, from Mick's perspective, what people of his level care about is how to advance to Level 5 Wizard, not these petty intrigues.

Herag already had some ideas; he could not sit idly by, foolishly waiting for the upper echelons to divide the cake.

Waiting for the results to reach him, it would be too late to escape.

Especially when the Taylor Family learns about Svallo and the others' situation, linking it to himself, it would be even more dangerous.

"Thank you for informing me of these news, what are your future plans?" Herag asked.

Pries said, "No need to be polite, we are friends, it's what I should do. I will continue to follow Lord Parker, taking care of him. Lord Parker's Floating City should be entering Serlandir's Small Plane, and I will follow in."

Herag felt a bit heavy-hearted. Since Pries has already prepared for this, the ownership of Silver Moon City likely already has an answer.

Parker's Floating City itself is mobile; the whole Floating City is a mobile fortress.

Parker enters the Small Plane to heal, and someone like Pries, a close confidant, will definitely follow, perhaps inadvertently avoiding some crises.

"It seems I also need to consider my way out." Herag sighed.

Pries nodded, "Your situation is quite troublesome, being targeted by the Taylor Family makes it difficult to escape. If it was before, under the protection of Lord Parker, you wouldn't need to worry so much. But now, you'd better consider it early."

Herag nodded, also contemplating the road ahead.

"Aren't you familiar with Bannings? I suggest you use the Expedition Team's channels to go to some lower-risk planes, to lay low for a while," Pries suggested.

Pries' suggestion actually aligned with Herag's ideas, both involving leaving the Wizard Plane.

However, one is an official route, and the other is akin to quietly running to the Elf Plane.

"By the way, how did the message I passed to you go?" Herag asked.

He had previously passed the prophecy of the Sea Race to Pries, who certainly submitted it, but the result was unknown.

Pries said, "I passed the message up, but they seem not very concerned about it. Recently, the focus has been on Silver Moon City, and they don't seem to react to the Sea Race's prophecy."

Herag shrugged; in any case, he had fulfilled his responsibility.

The higher-ups in Serlandir surely know some information, so they have no special reaction to the Sea Race's prophecy.

Perhaps in their eyes, the future crisis is still far away.

The immediate interests are more important, and the issue of Silver Moon City must be negotiated quickly.

Herag said, "I will contact Bannings. By the way, keep an eye out for any news about the Key of Rules for me. I'm afraid that if I go to another plane, it will be hard to obtain that thing."

Pries nodded, "No problem, I will keep this in mind and help you inquire more."

Recently, Pries actually has not had much to do, as many things are gradually being handed over and are no longer under his responsibility.

He had no objections, understanding clearly that these were not things he could influence or decide.
