Herag didn't know exactly how strong a Level 3 Wizard was, because he hadn't even seen a Level 2 Wizard truly in action.

Last time, Kane only killed some ordinary people, making it impossible to estimate his true strength.

But Herag could imagine that, since these Level 2 Wizards dared not show any disrespect to Parker, it indicated that Parker's power had reached an extremely terrifying level.

The strongest being Herag had seen was the Toad from the Abyss Plane, which claimed to be around Level 4 to Level 5.

The Toad gave Herag a strong sense of oppression, and this was even when the Toad intentionally restrained itself.

In contrast, Parker seemed ordinary, always wearing a silly smile, making people feel no oppression from him.

"Level 2 Wizards stay, the rest can go back to rest." Parker called these Level 2 Wizards into his wooden cabin, ready to arrange specific matters.

The strength of these people could easily sweep Oberstein, but for the sake of caution, they still made specific plans.

Herag returned to the cabin, finding Asuna not yet asleep.

Asuna was still wearing her maid outfit, with her slender legs dressed in a pair of black garter stockings.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Herag asked.

Seeing Herag return, Asuna breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward and jumped into Herag's arms: "You hadn't come back, I... I was a bit worried about you. Also, I heard their conversation outside just now, and I'm a bit worried about Lins..."

Having learned the Sivir Language, Asuna knew that Herag and his group were planning to go to Oberstein.

This group was so powerful that once they went to Oberstein, Asuna didn't know who could stop them.

And Lins lived in Oberstein, as an ordinary person, he certainly couldn't protect himself.

Herag patted Asuna's smooth back and said, "I saw Lins today."

"You saw Lins!?" Asuna looked at Herag incredulously.

"Yes, it was a coincidence, saved him once. Don't worry, I've arranged for him to go to Gray Knight Academy, he left with a trade caravan, there's a certain guarantee of safety. He's no longer in Oberstein, so you need not worry too much." Herag reassured.

"Really?" Asuna's emotions fluctuated greatly, not doubting Herag, but instinctively feeling it somewhat surreal.

Herag smiled, took out a small pink garment: "Of course it's true, I even brought you some clothes."

Asuna took one glance, her face turned red, she grabbed it and put it behind her: "You went to my home?"

Herag nodded: "Yes, I thought you didn't have appropriate clothes, so I brought your clothes over."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the clothes from the Space Ring were placed on the bed, thick piles.

Asuna looked at these clothes, her expression complex, took two pieces and held them, suddenly started crying.

Herag didn't quite know how to handle this situation, he could only walk over and hold Asuna in his arms.

Herag then took out the painting from Asuna's bedside cabinet: "I also brought this back for you."

"Thank you!" Asuna stared at the painting, stunned, took it quietly and bowed her head, crying.

Asuna quickly composed herself, wiped away her tears, and began tidying up the clothes on the bed.

She categorized the clothes neatly and then placed them in the cabinet in the room.

"Will there be a lot of people dying in Oberstein?" Asuna asked.

Herag was silent for a while and said, "Possibly, although their target this time is the Elf Race and the Magic Master. But ordinary people are too fragile; even a slight impact can be catastrophic."

"This is war."

Asuna was silent, those people she grew up knowing might all die, but she couldn't do anything.

She also didn't blame Herag, for even without him, these events would still unfold.

After careful consideration, Asuna realized that meeting Herag was actually quite fortunate.

If she hadn't met Herag, Asuna would have been killed or captured by other Wizards.

Other Wizards wouldn't be as agreeable as Herag.

Moreover, Herag had helped Asuna resolve the issue with Lins, otherwise who knows what situation Lins might have faced today.

"Master, after your long day, let me boil some water for your bath." Asuna said after putting down the painting.

"Mm, alright." Herag indeed wanted to take a bath.

After this bath, another night passed.

...

Oberstein's battle ended faster than Herag had imagined.

Parker's group returned on the morning of the second day, bringing four captives.

Sifler and the three High-tier Casters of the Elf Race were all captured alive by Parker's group.

All four had heavy Magic-Banning Shackles on their bodies, with black iron tubes inserted in their backs, seemingly also to prevent the use of Magic Power.

Sifler appeared very haggard, his right hand was missing, hair disheveled, with many bloodstains on his face.

He appeared extremely weak, his robe in tatters and with multiple bleeding wounds.

The other three Elves were similar, just not as severely injured as Sifler.

Meanwhile, Parker's group seemed entirely unharmed, the battle apparently exceeding expectations with ease.

Herag watched as Parker's group ushered the four into the basement.

Awaiting them was undoubtedly endless interrogation until their value was fully extracted, at which point they would be executed.

The three Elves might survive, but would be deprived of all Casting Ability and raised as slave-like figures.

Crystalization Wizard-level Elves fetched a very high price, can be sold at a very high valuation.

Though these three Elves were all males, they're still highly marketable.

The Land of Dawn was full of nobility interested in them.

Herag sighed, knowing these people's fate was already sealed, destined to be tragic.

Next, he considered his own safety.

Seven months had passed, and he needed to stay at Base 27 for five more months.

However, these next five months likely wouldn't be so easy.

The capture of three High-tier Casters from the Elf Race wouldn't go unnoticed.

Base 27 was now officially at odds with the Elf Race, future friction and conflicts would certainly be plentiful.

This operation capturing Level 2 and three Crystalization Wizard-level Elves didn't involve those below Level 2, but in the future, many tasks would require Herag's participation.

When the time comes, the danger level would be uncertain.

Perhaps even a regular patrol task could encounter an ambush from formidable enemies, all these possibilities existed.

Thinking about this, Herag knitted his brows, feeling the subsequent troubles might be numerous.

Currently, his interests were thoroughly bound with Base 27.

Under no circumstances could the Elf Race breach Base 27, otherwise, he too would have nowhere to escape.
