Herag accepted the three red crystals, nodded, and said, "We will complete the mission."

Parker patted Herag on the shoulder: "It's up to you. If you can complete this mission, there will be no further doubts about your assessment. This is my promise to you."

A promise from a Level 3 Wizard is something no one would doubt.

After leaving Parker, the three of them remained silent, feeling a bit tense.

When Herag returned to the cabin, Asuna was cleaning, wearing a maid outfit and sweeping the floor.

She wore a pair of red high heels, her legs wrapped perfectly in thick black stockings, accentuating their alluring curves.

Asuna knew Herag liked these, so even though she had her everyday clothes, she seldom wore them.

Herag walked up behind her, embraced her, and whispered, "Starting tomorrow, I need to leave with David and Reese for a while. Be careful during this time, we'll return once we're done."

"How long will you be gone, is it dangerous?" Asuna asked worriedly.

Herag replied, "Not too long, nothing to worry about. It's late, we should get things done too."

Asuna's face turned a little red, she softly replied with a hum, and then swayed her hips, rubbing against Herag.

Thinking about leaving the next day, Herag felt a surge of restlessness and picked Asuna up in his arms.

...

Early the next morning, Herag, David, and Reese were trekking through the Lime Mountain Range.

Herag held a map in his hands, which was found on the captured Sifler.

The map covered a large area, including the entire Noen Kingdom and its surrounding regions.

This time they didn't plan to go towards Oberstein but intended to head east through the Lime Mountain Range, as Miracle Valley was to the east of the Noen Kingdom.

"How do we... enter Miracle Valley, sneak into a caravan?" Reese asked.

Herag pondered, "Perhaps, there's another way."

He felt the Bloodline Mark on his chest, knowing the Royal Elf Bloodline within it could be utilized.

Herag had not yet fully unleashed the power of the Royal Elf Bloodline.

Once fully activated, the bloodline aura would undoubtedly change significantly, possibly altering his appearance as well.

He glanced at Reese and David, deciding not to attempt it in front of them.

When they reached a human town, there would be opportunities to try it in solitude.

"What method?" Reese leaned in and asked.

Her dress was low-cut, revealing a deep cleavage, along with a long scar.

Herag said, "I'm still considering it, let's keep moving for now."

They needed to traverse the wild Lime Mountain Range, which would likely take seven or eight days to completely pass through.

Everything here was primitive, with trails even harder to navigate than those near Base 27.

Though their path was meant to be a straight line according to the direction, the actual terrain was unpredictable, with cliffs and wide rivers being a common sight.

However, as wizards, these natural obstacles couldn't hinder their progress.

The journey was quite dull, but fortunately, the scenery within the Lime Mountain Range was quite pleasant.

Amidst the mountain peaks, layer upon layer of valleys twisted along with the terrain.

Fog draped over them, seeming as if they were shrouded in clouds and mist, with innumerable spiritual energies swirling within.

Red leaves fluttered, petals drifted, unknown wild birds hopped between trees, while insects chirped and birds sung, echoing all around.

On the sunlit hillside, green grass flourished, with herds of wild mountain goats leisurely grazing.

Herag and David were rather reserved, especially David.

If you didn't initiate a conversation with him, he could go an entire day without speaking a word.

Reese was more lively and often hummed tunes while traveling.

Whenever they came across beautiful scenery, she would drag Herag over to see it, as if they were on a sightseeing tour.

Herag thought that if they had cameras, Reese would definitely take pictures wherever they went.

Seven days later.

The three finally emerged from the Lime Mountain Range, stepping onto a wide road.

The road was rather muddy and uneven, riddled with the tracks of many passing carriages.

Glancing at the map, Herag started heading north along the road.

According to the map, if they just walked, it would take at least two months to reach their destination, even at their pace.

So walking was only temporary, they had to see if there were opportunities along the way to ride horses or join a caravan to ride in a carriage.

They walked for most of the day, and by the afternoon, the sound of hooves came from behind.

Turning back, they saw a group of adventurers.

At the forefront was a man on a tall horse, appearing to be around thirty years old, with the strength of a Great Knight Level.

There were seventeen people in total, with five at Knight Level.

All of them were dressed as adventurers, making them quite formidable within adventurer circles.

Herag and his companions stood by the roadside, and when the group reached them, they stopped.

The leading man glanced at Reese, her figure and face causing him to look twice.

Seeing Herag as the main figure among the three, he asked, "Are you three heading to Nightfall City? If so, we can give you a ride."

At this moment, others in the adventurer group also looked over, many men having a heated gaze when looking at Reese.

With their Concealing Rings hiding their aura, Herag and his companions appeared to be ordinary people.

The adventurers saw them as three ordinary folks, in this desolate place, with Reese's figure so alluring and her looks exceptionally pretty, it stirred up thoughts among many.

The lead man turned back and glared at them, causing their playful expressions to disappear instantly, and they lowered their heads, no longer looking at Reese.

"Apologies, we just completed a long mission, so these lads were a bit unruly. Please don't take offense, ma'am. By the way, I'm Pier, the leader of the Wind Sword Adventurer Group, and I'm a Great Knight." Pier said politely.

Reese deliberately showed admiration: "Wow, a Great Knight, you're impressive."

Hearing Reese's praise, Pier felt quite proud, but he remained stern on the outside and humbly said, "Thank you for the compliment, ma'am. A Great Knight is really nothing special. I've heard that over in faraway Oberstein, there are demons that even Great Knights can't withstand."

Reese said, "Really? Are there indeed people more powerful than a Great Knight? You're too modest."

Pier laughed, "Would you three like to ride in our carriage and travel with us?"

"Sure, thank you. I'm Herag, this is Reese, and that's David, wanderlust adventurers." Herag introduced.
