Herag originally intended to go straight in and ask, but he noticed a child lying in a cradle inside, it seemed to be a family of three.

He thought for a moment and knocked on the door.

Footsteps came from behind the door, and a woman who appeared to be in her twenties opened it, looking at Herag with some confusion, she asked, "Hello, may I help you?"

"Are you the owner here?" Herag asked.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, sir, this is the residence of the Blancard Family."

The woman was evidently somewhat nervous and very cautious; there was a child inside, she couldn't help but be careful.

After all, Herag looked a bit unusual, which inevitably aroused people's vigilance.

"The Blancard Family..." Herag had heard a little about them, a wizard family of moderate size.

"Where did you purchase this house from?" Herag asked.

"The City Hall, sir." The woman felt a bit perplexed, as the houses on King Street are all bought from Silver Moon City Hall.

Her husband had just joined Serlandir, only then was he qualified to purchase property here.

"Understood, thank you." Herag promptly turned to leave, and the woman behind him felt he was increasingly odd, hurriedly shutting the door.

The people of the Blancard Family had clearly acquired the property through proper channels from Silver Moon City. The properties on King Street would not be sold to anyone outside of Serlandir's influence.

From this perspective, the Taylor Family, who is currently in control of Silver Moon City, has indeed reclaimed their property and sold it again.

Though Herag had returned to Silver Moon City, he was left homeless, unsure of where to go for the moment.

He couldn't reach Pries now either, as the Small Plane made it impossible to use the Talisman Stone for communication.

Originally, he and Pries communicated via Messenger, but since the Toad was busy and unable to respond, he had to wait for Pries to initiate contact.

Herag thought for a moment and sent a message to Vernon using a Talisman Stone: "In Silver Moon City?"

Vernon was napping at home. He took out the Talisman Stone, surprised by the change in demeanor after seeing Herag's message.

He originally thought it was a business matter and was shocked to receive a message from Herag.

Vernon immediately sat up, drank a cup of tea to regain composure, and replied, "Long time no see, Herag, I'm in Silver Moon City."

"At home, huh? I'll come find you, I need your help with something," Herag replied.

Vernon responded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Vernon knew that Herag must have already entered Silver Moon City, though he had no idea how.

Currently, Herag was a wanted man yet dared to contact him so openly, suggesting he had something to rely on.

No one knew where Herag had gone during his years of absence or how he left.

Even Vernon was entirely in the dark about these matters.

Vernon didn't consider notifying Silver Moon City, as there was no enmity between him and Herag.

Not only was there no enmity, but over the years, Vernon had been supportive of the Cheqi Family, tending to their trade partnerships.

The share of profits belonging to Herag was placed in a special account by Vernon, untouched.

The account was nominally under his name, so naturally, no examination was conducted.

Vernon always held Herag in high regard, focusing on people when making any investments.

Although Herag had clashed with the Taylor Family, one couldn't simply provoke such a wizard family without outstanding abilities and still come out unscathed.

Therefore, Vernon adhered to the verbal agreement with Herag, handling matters impeccably.

Actually, the Taylor Family had persistently tried to devour the Cheqi Family's share, and if not for Vernon's intervention, the Cheqi Family would have been wiped out long ago.

Vernon originally thought Herag wouldn't appear until there was a significant shift within Serlandir, giving him a chance to escape the vortex.

But unexpectedly, he received Herag's message so soon, and it seemed Herag was no longer afraid of the Taylor Family.

Vernon was quite curious about what help Herag needed from him.

Soon, Herag arrived at the entrance of Vernon Mansion, and Vernon came out personally to greet him.

The moment Vernon saw Herag, he sensed something different.

Though Herag appeared unchanged from before, the magic power aura around him was completely gone, not a trace left.

Vernon himself was an Official Wizard, and he used to be able to sense the magic power from Herag, but now it was entirely absent.

Not only that, but when making eye contact with Herag, Vernon felt an inexplicable humility emanating from the very depth of his soul, as if glanced at by some ancient existence.

Vernon's heart tightened, knowing that Herag must have made significant progress, possibly now being a Level 3 Wizard.

If he had become a Level 3 Wizard, indeed he'd have the credentials to negotiate.

Parker was merely a Level 3 Wizard, if Herag had advanced to Level 3, perhaps he could reclaim control over Parker's faction.

"I need you to send a letter via Messenger to Pries for me," Herag said bluntly.

He needed to convey some situations to Pries, while also asking Pries some questions to decide his next actions.

Vernon nodded, not questioning why Herag didn't use his own Messenger. He summoned his Messenger to help Herag deliver the letter.

Herag prepared to wait for a response from Pries while chatting with Vernon, learning a lot about the past few years, gaining a rough understanding of the current situation.

Before long, Pries's Messenger arrived with his reply.

Herag opened the envelope, noticing the ink was still wet, indicating it had just been written and promptly delivered.

After reading the letter, he learned that Parker's injuries had stabilized, not life-threatening, but recovery would still take time.

Additionally, Herag had previously asked Pries a question, whether he wanted to reclaim Silver Moon City.

Pries was startled by Herag's rash return to Silver Moon City, warning him of the danger and advising him to leave quickly.

He was also puzzled by how Herag intended to reclaim Silver Moon City.

Pries did not doubt Herag but was curious about how he, being a wanted man, could reclaim Silver Moon City.

Herag offered no explanation, merely writing back to ask if he wanted it.

Though puzzled, Pries had no doubt about his answer, "Yes!"

Herag smiled and put away the letter; since it's like this, the plan is clear.

"I've been looking for you for so long but never found you. I didn't expect you to show up by yourself, what a surprise," Reece's voice came from the front yard.
