These people naturally have quite reliable channels of information and know what has happened as well as what might happen in the future.

Parker, Herag's superior, has fallen, and he has attracted the attention of a giant like the Taylor Family, so who would be close to him now?

These people can still meet him normally, only for the sake of past ties.

Herag's expression was as usual, his heart remained unperturbed; everything was as anticipated.

He had long seen through this world: strength is fundamental, everything else is illusory.

So there's no talk of anger; it's all very normal.

Herag was just doing business, directly purchasing some things from shops that were inconvenient to buy directly.

Some people avoided saying they had no stock, but Herag wouldn't bother entangling further and just moved on to the next place.

Some businesses still operated as usual; there's no reason to turn down business that comes to their door.

During this period, Herag spent 1.2 million Magic Stones to purchase eight Level 2 Magic spells, covering each category; many involve the Power of Rules that Herag had not yet mastered.

But it's not important; he decided to buy first and deal with it later.

The only somewhat tricky thing is the Keys of Rules; this stuff has no channel, and no one sells it.

Even if someone has it at home, they won't sell it easily.

If it were Herag before, there might have been room for negotiation.

But now, it's impossible to sell to him.

However, Pries over there gave Herag a huge surprise.

A yellow bee appeared before Herag, its slender limbs pulling out three ancient-looking wooden boxes and a letter from the void.

After placing these items before Herag, the bee disappeared.

Herag picked up the letter and glanced at it; it was personally written by Pries. As he read, his mood became somewhat excited.

Pries directly sent over three Keys of Rules to him!

The Wind Element's High-altitude Feather, the Thunder Element's Thunder's Tears, and the Earth Element's Deep Rock Earth Turtle Shell.

These three are Keys of Rules, capable of assisting a Wizard in understanding the Wind, Thunder, and Earth Element rules.

Herag was somewhat shocked. Where did Pries get so many, and he didn't want Herag's money for them.

He only found out after reading the letter.

Pries, through his own and Parker's network channels, scavenged from many places; the Deep Rock Earth Turtle Shell was taken directly from the Silver Moon City's warehouse.

Strictly speaking, these actions are somewhat against the rules, but no one said anything.

Because Parker and his people were the ones taking the blame, having suffered a huge loss, losing a city.

Although Parker's life was hanging by a thread, he was at least Mick's subordinate.

At this time, Pries, by using some relationships to get some benefits, no one would say anything.

Even if those above knew, they would turn a blind eye.

They are all still within sight, working within the same organization, not doing absolute things.

And at this time, in name, Pries still holds some power to do some things.

This is how he scavenged three Keys of Rules for Herag, and since Pries hadn't spent money to get them, he naturally wouldn't ask Herag for money.

Of course, if those above knew Pries was doing this to give them to Herag, someone might intervene.

But to those above, since Pries seemed to be gathering benefits for himself, they would say nothing.

They wouldn't believe Pries would directly gift such things to others.

Pries revealed that this is also Parker's intention, meant as a bit of an investment in Herag.

Since Parker's situation is special now, he can't meet Herag himself, so he lets Pries handle these things.

Previously, Parker could afford to overlook Herag because he had so many outstanding Wizards under him.

But now, with manpower scarce, Parker would naturally reconsider nurturing some people to prepare for future troubles.

Herag was one of those selected, having no background, and facing threats like those from the Taylor Family, making it the best time to draw him over.

Those who could follow Parker into the Small Plane were absolute confidants, and Herag wasn't qualified.

But what Parker considered was that once he entered the Small Plane, he would fall into a long period with little contact with the Wizard Plane.

When he fully recovered and came out, the outside might have completely changed.

Then, even if he recovered, he might have no voice; who would remember him?

So he needs to select some people and invest ahead of time; maybe there will be some returns in the future.

Even if the investment fails, it's okay; Parker's wealth can afford it—this is just a drop in the bucket.

Herag looked at those two Keys of Rules for the Wind and Thunder Elements thoughtfully.

He felt Pries sending these three Keys of Rules also had some other meaning.

Herag obtained the Level 2 Magic from the two Level 2 Wizards of the Taylor Family which are precisely Wind Element and Thunder Element.

Pries sending these three, does it mean he knows something happened to the Wizards of the Taylor Family, and speculates it was Herag's doing?

Sending these Keys of Rules at this time is exactly what Herag needed.

The Taylor Family must have detected something unusual long ago; a Level 3 Wizard and two Level 2 Wizards disappearing for so long—surely they'd investigate.

It's just that they haven't tracked down Herag yet, because since Herag arrived in Silver Moon City, he's been under their surveillance.

Pries naturally received this information over there, and after a little speculation and some bold assumptions, sent these three Keys of Rules.

Herag felt some urgency; it's estimated trouble would arrive soon, and he must quickly enhance his power.

He held the three Keys of Rules, preparing to comprehend the Powers of Rules, letting the Toad protect him from the side.

Pries was very considerate, not only sending these three Keys of Rules but also attached an explanation in the letter on how to use them, detailing the process thoroughly.

Following the information provided by Pries, the process of comprehension had almost no problems, successfully understanding them all smoothly.

Half a month later.

Herag had successfully comprehended the Wind, Thunder, and Earth Element rules and immediately began mastering the corresponding Level 2 Magic.

The Level 2 Magic for Wind and Thunder Elements are already in the Space Ring, acquired from the Taylor Family: Wind's Sigh, Thunder Fall Technique, Thunder Chain.

Mastery of these three magics could greatly enhance Herag's means, providing more ways to handle various situations.

The Earth Element's Level 2 Magic was also there; Herag purchased one named Earth Source Life when he was acquiring items before.

This Earth Element Level 2 Magic is very special; its effect is that once used, as long as the caster stands on the ground, they can transfer the energy impact they receive to the earth, only sustaining a slight amount of damage themselves.
