Sixth Ring Wizard

The Durr Valley.

Helag and his party returned to the front of the castle, which was somewhat dilapidated and looked like it hadn't been repaired for years.

But it wasn't a completely desolate or dilapidated scene.

Although Count Bates, who occupies this area, does not live here, his men reside here permanently to facilitate the management of the territory.

So it still looks somewhat alive, it's just that the castle isn't regularly repaired and maintained.

The people in the castle had already evacuated and dared not linger.

Emil came with Melissa and his children, and had no intention of moving back here.

Most of his resources and connections are in Swan City, and it's impossible for him to give them all up and return here.

For them, this place represents more of a symbolic meaning, and they most likely won't move back to live here permanently.

Of course, this doesn't mean we've given up on the Dour Valley.

There are still benefits from taxes and other sources here, but I won't be living here long-term.

With King Raymond's help, Emil and his men no longer needed to worry about many things.

As the group entered the castle, Emil and the others remained relatively silent, their presence evoking a flood of memories.

On the contrary, younger generations like Eric were more active and very curious about this place.

They didn't feel much about these things; they just treated it as a trip and were very curious about the place where their parents used to live.

Emil suddenly noticed something, nudged Hrag, and laughed, "Look, that's where you used to live."

Everyone heard it and looked over, discovering it was a very small and dilapidated wooden hut right next to the stable.

"Isn't this...the place where the stable boy lives?" Eric asked hesitantly.

"I used to be a stable boy in the castle," Herag laughed.

"Huh?" Eric and the other juniors were stunned and couldn't believe it.

They never imagined that such a noble wizard as Herag was once a stable boy.

Looking at the pitifully small wooden hut, Herag seemed to recall how he had just arrived in this world, shivering from the cold.

After wandering around the castle for a while, the group arrived at the cemetery behind the castle.

The tombstones and graves in the cemetery were not damaged, but they were overgrown with weeds, indicating that no one had been here for many years. Many tombstones were even completely covered and submerged by weeds.

This cemetery is where members of the Sara family are buried. The group began clearing away the weeds and finished clearing the area in no time.

Herag found old Henry's grave, but the tombstone he had erected had completely collapsed and decayed, and the place had become an unmarked grave.

These will definitely require further repairs.

Melissa was already weeping at Baron Buck's grave, her feelings genuine even though she knew she wasn't his biological daughter.

The group stayed in the castle for a month to handle various matters.

The cemetery has been completely renovated, and the damaged graves and tombstones have been repaired with the best materials.

The castle has been completely renovated, from top to bottom, inside and out.

The residents of the Dur Valley also learned of this news, and many of the older residents who had lived through Baron Buck's time were filled with emotion.

I never expected that the Sarah family would return after thirty years.

Melissa and Emil have changed a lot and have regained their youthful appearance, even looking younger than Eric.

After everything was settled with Emil, Hrag was ready to leave, as there were still some matters to attend to.

He took out a necklace, each with a pendant that looked identical.

"Keep this pendant on your person; it will protect you. Don't take it off unless there's a special reason," Herag said.

This is a talisman he obtained from the border region. It is essentially a level-two magical artifact that does not require active activation and can be used even by ordinary people.

For Emil and the others, as long as they wore this item, almost nothing could harm them.

Before the northern region is fully developed, it is most suitable for Emil and the others to stay on the continent of Coulson, where the danger level is low and it is a place they are familiar with.

……

After bidding farewell to Emil and the others, Herag prepared to travel to the Seville Empire in the east of the continent of Coulson.

The Seville Empire was ruled by the Stuart family, the same family Lillian belonged to.

Lillian happened to be home during this time, in the Seville Empire.

She has already advanced to the second level of wizardry, and once she reaches this stage, she can only take it slowly.

So Lillian took advantage of the time after her promotion to take a leave of absence and go home.

Lillian had originally planned to return to Augustus Academy in two months, but she never expected so many things to happen in the blink of an eye, and all of them were related to Herag.

After the historical truth about the Six Rings Tower was revealed, life became quite difficult for all the wizards at Augustus Academy.

Because of its less-than-glorious history, Augustus College can almost be considered the sinner of the entire wizarding world.

If it weren't for them, the development of the Wizarding World wouldn't have stagnated for so many years, or even regressed.

The wizards from other wizarding organizations didn't think much of it at first, but after seeing the people from the borderlands and learning that the borderlands had actually developed to this level, they couldn't help but have some opinions about Augustus Academy.

During this period, there were even some incidents of attacks on wizards from the Augustus Academy. It is unclear whether the attacks were genuinely due to resentment over past actions or were acts of revenge for personal grudges.

When Herag learned of this, he was speechless. At least the wizarding organizations in Dawn Land had no right to say anything. They were all beneficiaries, so how could they have the right to stand up and point fingers?

Herag had previously contacted Lillian and asked her if she wanted to leave Augustus Academy. With Herag's connections, entering the borderlands shouldn't be a problem.

With Lillian's qualifications, she might even be able to enter the headquarters of the Sixth Ring Tower.

Lillian did not give a direct reply; she was also somewhat conflicted and hesitant, after all, she had spent so many years at Augustus Academy.

During this time, Herag also thought that Lillian didn't actually need to leave Augustus Academy in name; she could just say she was going on a trip.

Anyway, it's just a title, and there's no real contract. The most important thing is to acquire the resources and knowledge of the border area.

As a friend, Hrag was naturally happy to help in these matters. (End of Chapter)
