The exchange event was initially scheduled for three days at the Avila Restaurant, but unexpectedly, it was resolved in one night—it was quite surprising.

Israel joked that Herag was saving money for the Witch Array Master Association.

On the second day, the ten thousand Magic Stones and five hundred Contribution Points were credited in full. Herag looked at these numbers and felt a bit more secure.

This trip to the exchange event was definitely worth it—not only did he earn ten thousand Magic Stones, but also five hundred Contribution Points.

Additionally, he expanded his network a bit.

Networking seems useless when you don't need it, but it always plays a role at crucial moments.

Herag's subsequent plans were simple. Now that he had enough Magic Stones, he decided to continue his Meditation Practice at the Wizard Tower, aiming to quickly reach the Crystalization Stage.

...

In the Mozambique Slums, Franz stayed in his family's hall.

The lighting here was dim, with only a few oil lamps lit.

A high table akin to an altar was placed in the deepest part of the hall, and Franz stood before it, eyes closed, muttering something.

Strangely, the altar was empty—there was nothing on it.

Brown, standing behind Franz, knew why.

Lord Franz had once said that placing things on the altar could easily leave evidence.

As long as one has the great Gods in their heart, whether there is a statue on the altar is actually irrelevant.

Franz was chanting prayers, and Brown followed behind, bowing his head in prayer too.

After a long while, Franz opened his eyes and calmly said, "Is there any recent situation?"

Brown lowered his head and said, "Nothing particularly noteworthy, but there is one person who might need attention. His name is Herag, and recently he resolved a Witch Array at the exchange event of the Witch Array Master Association—he is a very promising Witch Array Master."

They had always paid attention to talents in Silver Moon City, recording anyone who was excellent.

The records were not for recruitment or alliance—they were to find opportunities to eliminate them.

Their goal was to bring forth the descent of the Evil God from the Abyss Plane, and these talents in Silver Moon City might become obstacles.

Therefore, those recorded on the list were all targets that needed to be removed.

"Hmm, record it." Franz wasn't too concerned; their list often added rising stars like Herag.

Brown continued, "Another thing worth noting about Herag is, according to internal information, Doron, Max, and Digran, who were caught previously, all had connections with him. These events were triggered because Herag discovered some clues, leading to subsequent capture actions."

Franz, who was originally wiping the table, paused and asked, "Really?"

They had informants embedded within the City Hall of Silver Moon City, ensuring they could learn about any actions over there.

Brown said, "Yes, although those instances seemed coincidental, I have a feeling that Herag might have some issues—it's unreasonable for such coincidences to happen every time."

Franz continued wiping the table with a handkerchief and said, "Then use him to test it."

"Test on him?" Brown asked, somewhat surprised.

"Yes, I recall this person's strength is merely that of a Level 1 Liquidation Wizard. Not very strong but not weak either, and he lacks background. Plus, he has caused us damage several times—use him for experimentation." Franz said solemnly.

Brown nodded, "Alright."

"The Holy Artifact this time is the first gift from the Gods. To ensure things go smoothly, you will handle it personally. It's also a chance for you to enter the Abyss Plane." Franz said.

Brown nodded excitedly, "Thank you, Lord, for giving me this opportunity!"

"Take it. Once Herag's usual habits are clear, pick a suitable place to make your move." Franz took out a red stone, crystal clear like a piece of jade.

Brown received the stone with both hands, gazing at it in his palm with slightly heavy breathing.

This Holy Artifact, recently gifted by the Gods from the Abyss Plane, could temporarily drag both the bearer and the target into the Abyss Plane.

These Abyssal Cultists possess powers bestowed by the Evil Gods from the Abyss Plane—powers heavily suppressed in the Wizard Plane.

However, once in the Abyss Plane, these powers can be fully unleashed.

In contrast, Wizards from the Wizard Plane would find their powers suppressed in the Abyss Plane.

This one increase and one decrease would form a massive disparity in power.

This Holy Artifact, given by the Evil Gods of the Abyss Plane, is meant to deal with specific target individuals.

Since the process involves a temporary shift into the Abyss Plane, if the target dies there, the corpse remains in the Abyss Plane permanently.

To those in the Wizard Plane, the person would seem to have vanished without a trace, without any evidence left behind.

Through these means, Abyssal Cultists can accomplish targeted killings.

As long as the general strength of the target is known beforehand, one stronger than the target can be chosen for the task.

In one-on-one duels in the Abyss Plane, these Abyssal Cultists have absolute crushing superiority.

The only issue is that this has never been used before, so its effects must be tested.

Herag perfectly suited as a test subject—not very strong, not very weak, and lacking background—avoiding relentless pursuit from those extremely powerful.

Silver Moon City is full of talented young individuals, but they generally hail from Wizard Families or are direct descendants of Serlandir's upper echelon.

Targeting these individuals is highly troublesome, as there would certainly be powerful Wizards tracking relentlessly.

Franz and the Abyssal Cultists prefer not to confront Wizards directly, thus they've never targeted those with deep backgrounds.

However, Herag, who suddenly appeared and perfectly matched the criteria, naturally became a target after entering Franz's view.

Brown put the red stone away and said, "I will handle this beautifully, ensuring the Holy Artifact bestowed by the Gods is not wasted."

He took a deep breath to calm himself.

Brown had believed in the Gods from the Abyss Plane since childhood, yearning for the Abyss Plane, considering it a Holy Land.

Now, with a method to enter the Abyss Plane, how could he not be thrilled.

Brown almost wished to use the red stone immediately—just to see the Abyss Plane.

But this is an important Holy Artifact given by the Gods, and it cannot be wasted recklessly—its value must be maximized.

After respectfully bowing, Brown turned to leave the hall.

Upon reaching the courtyard, he glanced at the sky, his gaze firm.

...

For half a month, Herag had been unable to fully realize his idea of stealth at the Wizard Tower.
