At night, Herag entered a state of meditation as usual.

Although he had already been promoted to an Official Wizard, meditation practice could not be neglected.

Some white mist drifted in his mind, which was the spiritual power that had been gaseous.

At this stage, many sensations were completely different from before.

Herag now only needed to flick his finger to condense a fireball in his hand, which was no weaker than the Small Fireball Technique.

Due to being monitored, it was inconvenient for him to test the change in the strength of his magic for the time being.

Before starting the meditation, Herag drank a portion of the Starry Sky Potion, wanting to test its effect.

Half an hour later.

"As expected, the Starry Sky Potion has no effect anymore."

During meditation, Herag found that the Starry Sky Potion's speed boost to his meditation was now negligible.

He was not surprised by this; the effectiveness of the Starry Sky Potion had already greatly diminished when he was a Third Class Wizard Apprentice.

"I need to develop new potions afterwards."

Herag planned to continue experimenting with and researching new potions to accelerate his meditation speed once he settled down.

Being monitored now made everything inconvenient, so he hoped to reach the Cheqi Family's Magic Potion Garden and settle in soon.

Early the next morning.

Herag wrote a letter to Lillian, briefly explaining his situation.

He then took out a wooden box, placed the Heart of the Ocean Necklace inside, and finally found someone to send it out.

The original plan was to give it to Lillian in person, but the potential threat of Malcolm had not yet been resolved, so Herag could not go to Augustus Academy alone.

Malcolm was proficient in the Divination Technique, so if he wandered around outside, he might be found at any time.

Herag had just advanced and was in the Gaseous Stage. Malcolm was already a Crystalization Wizard, and Herag was not yet able to contend with him.

Malcolm was always a hidden danger, a bomb that could explode at any time.

Herag had been pondering how to solve this problem.

In terms of current strength, the gap was too large, and a hard fight was definitely not feasible.

Only by stabilizing his practice and quickly improving his strength could he overcome the issue.

Larry's actions were swift; as soon as Herag returned home after sending the letter and necklace, Larry arrived.

"How's the packing?" Larry asked.

Herag looked around. The room had been cleaned thoroughly, with tables and chairs back in their places, and everything was just as it was when he arrived.

He nodded and said, "All packed."

Larry patted his shoulder and said, "Then let's go, the family members have arrived."

Herag took one last look at the room before following Larry out.

When they left, they took the Hellfoot, heading to the Red Maple Post Station on the east side.

This was the far eastern part of the Moonlight Forest, where the main activity area of the Cheqi Family was located, in the eastern Kane Kingdom.

The Kane Kingdom was the largest kingdom in the east, under the jurisdiction of Augustus Academy.

The people sent by the Cheqi Family to meet him could not approach the post station and were waiting in the Red Maple Forest outside; Herag needed to walk there by himself.

When Herag got off and left, the Hellfoot nudged him gently with its head.

"Goodbye," Herag said with a smile, patting the Hellfoot's head.

This Hellfoot was familiar to Herag; it was the one he often rode before.

It seemed that this Hellfoot still remembered him.

At the Moonlight Forest's stables, Herag still had two horses, gifts from Erza for pulling carriages.

He directly transferred ownership to Larry, leaving them under his name to continue being maintained by the Moonlight Forest since it was cost-free.

If nothing unexpected happened, these two horses could live out the rest of their lives at the stables, no longer needing to go out to pull carriages every day.

Larry accompanied Herag as they walked out of the Red Maple Post Station and then descended the mountain into the Red Maple Forest.

After about half an hour of walking, a carriage was parked not far away.

Beside the carriage stood two people; from their aura, one was a Great Knight, and the other was an Official Wizard.

As soon as Herag saw them, the two also looked over.

Larry stepped forward and introduced, "Uncle Blake, this is Herag."

Blake had a beard that made him look in his forties, with a large sword at his waist and wearing armor, looking more like a knight than the Great Knight beside him.

"Herag, this is my uncle, Level 1 Crystalization Wizard Blake Cheqi. This is the family's Great Knight Pete, who usually takes care of some chores in the Magic Potion Garden," Larry introduced Herag.

"Mr. Blake, Mr. Pete," Herag greeted them individually.

Though Pete was only a Great Knight, he was part of the Cheqi Family. Herag understood that just because he was an Official Wizard, he should not look down on others but should show basic respect.

Being kind to people could avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Of course, this was also selective; with some people, indifference and ruthlessness were necessary.

Pete was surprised that Herag would greet him, his face showing a hint of surprise.

He had met many Official Wizards, and few had ever looked at him directly.

Pete's impression of Herag improved slightly, and he said respectfully, "I'm responsible for the daily operations of the Magic Potion Garden. If you need to purchase any daily necessities or other supplies, you can come to me, Mr. Herag."

In the Magic Potion Garden, he managed everyday logistics and personnel matters.

For Herag, Pete was essentially an errand boy who could help handle some daily tasks.

Blake looked at Herag and said, "Thank you for joining. Our Cheqi Family welcomes such an excellent wizard like you, and we will do our best to provide you with a good environment and excellent resources."

"Thank you, Mr. Blake, thank you to the Cheqi Family, and thank you, Mr. Larry, for providing me with a place to stay. I will do my best to prove my worth."

Herag was well aware that the Cheqi Family would not offer something for nothing; he had to show his usefulness.

Larry spoke up, "Uncle Blake, this kid is very quick at learning, and he has a great talent for Magic Potion Refining. You can trust him with many things, and he'll surprise you."

Hearing this from Larry made Blake pay more attention to Herag.

As Larry said, if Herag was new to the Magic Potion Garden, Blake certainly would not assign important tasks to him immediately.

First, he was not familiar with Herag's character, and second, he was not yet sure about Herag's capabilities.

Even though Herag was Larry's student, that only indicated sufficient talent, not necessarily experience.

But with Larry's strong recommendation of Herag, Blake began to reconsider some of the arrangements he would make for Herag.

Blake laughed and said, "It seems you have a lot of confidence in your student."

"Of course," Larry replied proudly.

After a brief conversation, they were ready to set off. Herag sat in the carriage facing Blake, while Pete sat at the front driving the carriage.
