Sixth Ring Wizard

Herag did not deliberately conceal his presence, otherwise Raymond would not have been able to detect his existence.

He smiled and said, "My name is Herag, and I am a wizard from the continent of Karrag. The continent of Coulson is also my hometown. I am here today mainly because I need Your Majesty's help with some matters."

Raymond didn't seem surprised that Herag was from the continent of Karrag, but asked curiously, "Mr. Herag, is there anything I can help you with?"

It was rather strange to him that Horrag, a wizard from the continent of Karrag, needed the help of a king from a mortal kingdom.

Herag then recounted the events in the Dul Valley, and Raymond gained a general understanding of the situation.

He said, "I understand. According to the laws of the Kingdom of Norton, the Dul Valley does indeed belong to Miss Melissa. I will handle this personally immediately, so you don't need to worry."

Raymond took this matter very seriously. Besides Helag's identity, Helag's methods and attitude in handling the matter also made Raymond value Helag even more.

For a wizard, even though there are other ways to deal with it directly, they still choose to handle it through their own channels. This shows their trust in themselves and is also a signal of goodwill.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" At this moment, a gaunt old man suddenly appeared in the room, standing protectively in front of Raymond, watching Herag warily, his body radiating a magical aura.

"A crystallization wizard?" Herag was somewhat surprised, not expecting to encounter a crystallization wizard here, who seemed to be protecting Raymond.

"Senior Steve, it's alright. This is Mr. Helag, also from the continent of Karag," Raymond said, reassuring Steve not to be nervous and introducing him.

"Hrag?" A glint flashed in Steve's eyes as he looked closely at Hrag, as if trying to confirm something.

He didn't sense any magical energy from Horag, but that was precisely what made him most wary.

Herag asked, "Which wizarding organization are you from?"

"Alf Swamp," Steve replied, still on guard, seemingly trying to recall something, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Herag nodded: "So you're a wizard from Aluf Swamp. I used to live in Moonglade, but I've never been to Aluf Swamp."

"Moonglade...you really are Helag?" Steve seemed to finally remember, somewhat shocked and somewhat incredulous that he would meet Helag in this place.

Herag said, "You know me?"

Steve nodded, lowering his guard as well: "So it really is Mr. Herag. I didn't expect to meet you here. I've heard your name a long time ago, and in recent years I've heard news about you almost every day..."

Herag chatted with Steve for a while and learned about his situation.

Steve was not originally from the continent of Coulson; he came here only to fulfill a promise to an old friend.

His old friend was also a wizard from the Aluf Swamp. The two had been friends for many years, and the other party was from the continent of Coulson and was a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Norton.

My old friend was unable to advance to the second level of wizard and was nearing the end of his life, just as the Kingdom of Norton was undergoing a period of transition.

As one of the ancestors of the Kingdom of Norton, he did not want to see the Kingdom of Norton in turmoil and on the verge of collapse, so he asked Steve to go to the continent of Coulson to take care of his descendants.

Steve has been a great help to Raymond in all these years, helping him solve many problems. Otherwise, the reforms would not have gone so smoothly and would have been much more bloody.

As a first-level crystallization wizard, Steve is invincible in the Coulson Continent; there is no problem he cannot solve once he takes action.

However, Steve also followed the unspoken rules of the wizarding world, keeping a low profile and rarely taking large-scale actions. He mostly assisted from behind the scenes and did not massacre ordinary people. Most of the time, he only took action to protect Raymond.

Steve had just noticed the unusual situation and rushed over immediately to prevent Raymond from being harmed.

Over the years, Herag has become incredibly famous among wizards in the wizarding world, known to everyone, and Steve is naturally very familiar with him as well.

For Steve, beings like Helag were extremely distant from him, far beyond his reach.

So when Steve first heard the name Helag, he didn't immediately connect the two; he was just a little skeptical.

It wasn't until Herag mentioned that he had spent time in Moonglade that Steve realized he had actually met Herag.

Raymond roughly understood what was going on through their conversation. He hadn't expected that Hrag was such an important figure, and even Steve was so cautious after learning Hrag's identity.

For someone like this to actually take the initiative to ask me to help with some things is truly a great honor.

Raymond then said, "Mr. Herag, besides the Dul Valley, I can also give this area to Miss Melissa and her family."

He pointed to a large piece of land next to the Dur Valley, which seemed to belong to a duke.

Hrag shook his head: "No need. I just want to help them get back what's rightfully theirs. Extra land will only cause them trouble."

Giving such a large piece of land to Emir and his people is meaningless; having acquired so much land, they still have to be able to defend it.

Even with Raymond's help, he couldn't possibly keep an eye on things 24/7; there would always be some extra trouble.

Herag didn't plan to let Emir's family live there indefinitely. He might move them there after the North was developed, so it would be easier to take care of them.

Raymond quickly understood what Herag meant and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

After discussing the details, Raymond was very efficient, issuing orders from the palace, which were quickly put into action.

The Valley of Duer has returned to the Sara family, to which Melissa belongs. After thirty years, it has once again welcomed its master.

As for Count Betz, who originally occupied the Dur Valley, he dared not utter a single word of dissent.

For him, a direct order from the current king was something he could not possibly disobey. He immediately scrambled to withdraw his forces, not daring to linger for even a moment.

The young king had left a profound impression on these nobles, an impression etched in blood by countless heads.

Bates was merely a regional earl; he had no capacity for such wicked thoughts.

Moreover, for added security, Raymond also dispatched an army to the Dur Valley to safeguard its security. (End of Chapter)
