"With such a major incident like the airship crash, didn't Serlandir send people to rescue?" Herag asked.

He had been in seclusion for training recently, and hadn't been keeping up with events elsewhere.

Crystal City is located in the eastern part of Serlandir and is quite a sizable city.

Toby said, "Serlandir rushed to rescue as soon as they heard; those who could be saved were saved. However, abyssal creatures appeared on the airship at that time, and many people scattered trying to escape. Those scattered across the polluted areas couldn't be rescued and had to rely on themselves to make it back."

An airship crash is certainly a big deal, and Serlandir sent people to rescue right after hearing the news.

However, by the time they arrived, aside from some abyssal creatures and a few survivors near the airship, there weren't many people left.

Most of the surviving individuals fled to various parts of the polluted area to avoid attacks by the abyssal creatures.

This made things difficult for Serlandir as well; they had no way to rescue those scattered everywhere.

The cost would be too high, and sending people to rescue was already fulfilling their basic obligation.

Those scattered across the polluted areas had to rely on themselves, or various factions could send their own people to rescue them.

Serlandir was only responsible for handling matters near the airship; beyond that, they couldn't do much.

"When did this happen?" Herag asked.

"It was last night. After I received the message from David, I hurried over to contact you. Recently, I happened to be managing business around Silver Moon City," Toby replied.

After a moment of contemplation, Herag said, "Mr. Toby, could you send me more detailed information? I'm planning to head to Crystal City tomorrow to look for David."

"Herag..." Reese couldn't help but grab Herag.

She hoped for David's safety but didn't want to see Herag risking himself in the polluted area.

Herag held her hand and smiled, "Don't worry. The polluted area inside the Land of Dawn isn't as dangerous as the ones outside. My experiences are rather rich, at least I can ensure my safety."

"Besides, if I don't go to save David, no one in the Land of Dawn will care about his life or death."

Herag always acted cautiously, but this time he decided to take a risk.

Considering their relationship, the Cheqi Family had helped him so much along the way, he felt obligated to go once.

From Mr. Larry's various helps at the beginning to the later opportunity to visit the Elf Plane, all were given by the Cheqi Family.

Without their assistance, Herag wouldn't have come this far, at least not so fast or so easily.

Moreover, David was a decent person, and Herag always found him quite satisfactory.

Although he spoke little and was reserved, he always worked without complaint or fatigue.

Herag brought David and Reese to the Land of Dawn naturally hoping they would improve.

Now knowing David's life was uncertain in the polluted area, Herag was aware of the risk but would still go.

Just as Herag said, only he could go to save David in the Land of Dawn.

"I'll go with you," Reese said.

Herag shook his head, "You stay at home. The polluted area isn't about having more people to solve problems. I can handle many situations flexibly on my own, trust me."

Reese was still a bit uneasy, but Herag reassured her with some persuasion.

Eventually, Reese stopped insisting on going; she didn't want to be a burden to Herag.

"I can help Mr. Herag contact a small airship; it's the airship of our East Source Commerce Association," Toby said, admiring Herag's courage and volunteering to assist.

"Then please, Mr. Toby," Herag thanked.

...

Toby efficiently contacted the airship of East Source Commerce Association to approach Silver Moon City, expected to arrive at Silver Moon City pier in a few hours.

Herag took this time to learn more about the details of the airship crash near Crystal City.

Crystal City isn't far from Silver Moon City; it's about a six-day trip by airship.

Usually, six days isn't long, but right now it feels a bit prolonged.

However, there's no choice as the airship is the fastest form of transportation.

After some simple preparations at his home, Herag left to go to the Silver Moon City pier with Toby.

While at home, through the channels of Pries, he had obtained detailed information about the airship crash incident near Crystal City, confirming that what Toby said was indeed true.

For safety's sake, Herag also asked Pries to help check the crew's list from that airship; David was indeed on it and remains missing.

He did this to guard against any ulterior motives Toby might have, as they weren't well-acquainted, and he couldn't fully trust Toby.

But the information channels from Pries are reliable enough.

Herag informed Pries of his situation here, though Pries couldn't spare any manpower at the moment to help Herag with this personal matter.

Herag didn't intend for Pries to send anyone to help, he just wanted to inform him of the situation.

The pier in the northern part of Silver Moon City was a bit quiet since it was already late at night.

Airship arrivals usually occur from dawn until shortly after dusk, generally not opting to arrive at a city deep in the night.

Due to the loud noise of airships, landing in the middle of the night is too disruptive to residents.

However, the airship of East Source Commerce Association is a small one, with much less noise, and arriving at the pier at night causes less noise pollution.

Herag arrived at the pier and saw the airship parked in the pier square.

This airship looked like a regular three-layered ship, but its internal and external structures were quite different.

Small airships don't have open decks and have a much smaller internal space.

The airship had five people in total, all members of the East Source Commerce Association, responsible for the airship's daily operations.

Toby followed Herag aboard the airship; he also needed to handle some related matters at Crystal City.

Once the two boarded the airship, it immediately took off, heading toward Crystal City.

The interior decoration of the airship was very luxurious; the space was small, with few seating, but it wasn't meant for ordinary people.

This kind of private airship is prepared for those with wealth and status.

After a brief conversation with Toby, Herag returned to the room assigned to him, entering a state of meditation.

While meditating, he planned his next steps; Herag knew well the dangers in the polluted area.

Though the internal polluted area in the Land of Dawn is relatively safer, he must still remain vigilant.

A map flashed in his mind; it's a rough terrain map of the polluted area outside Crystal City.
