Now that Dome, a Level 3 Wizard, is paying attention, that small plane rift is no longer a big problem.
This kind of small plane rift has just appeared, and there's still time for repair.
After leaving Dome's Wizard Tower, Herag followed the location Irina gave him to find David.
After some treatment, David was settled in a hotel.
Herag looked at the address on the Talisman Stone, hailed a carriage by the roadside, told the driver the destination, and then set off.
Riding in the carriage, Herag observed the surrounding scenery; it was his first time visiting Crystal City.
The main structure of Crystal City is similar to Silver Moon City, only the internal style is a bit different.
Buildings on the street sides are adorned with various crystals, which serve not only decorative purposes but also have a faint effect of gathering Free Energy Particles.
It's said that Crystal City was built on a massive crystal vein, hence the name Crystal City.
After getting off the carriage, Herag looked up at the name of the hotel, Desert Wind.
The hotel's sign was wooden but used crystals for decoration, fitting the local style well.
As he entered the hotel, a skinny young man approached and said with a smile, "Sir, do you need a room?"
"I'm here to find someone named David," Herag replied.
"Oh, the guest arranged by Lady Irina, right? He's on the second floor, please follow me." The young man led the way after speaking.
The young man led Herag to a room in the corner on the second floor and knocked on the door, which was opened by a woman with a delicate face.
"What is it?" the woman asked.
"Miss Lela, this gentleman is here to see Mr. David," the young man explained.
Upon hearing this, Lela stepped out and looked at Herag, asking, "Are you Mr. Herag?"
"Yes, that's me," Herag nodded, not knowing who Lela was or why she was here.
Lela said, "I was arranged by Lady Irina to ensure Mr. David's safety. Since you're here, I shall take my leave."
"Thank you, Miss Lela, for your care," Herag politely responded.
Lela gave a shy smile and trotted down the stairs in her high heels.
After watching her leave, Herag walked inside and saw David lying on the bed.
David's limbs were bandaged, and a medicinal scent lingered, clearly indicating some medicine was applied to his wounds.
Herag noticed that the bandages on David's limbs were neatly and regularly tied, showing the attention and care of the person who did it.
David was sleeping soundly; hearing Herag's footsteps, he gradually awoke.
Upon seeing Herag, David smiled foolishly and then glanced around the room.
"Don't look around, she's gone," Herag said with a smile.
David seemed a bit disappointed: "Miss Lela left?"
"You want her to stay with you? I can tell Irina," Herag pretended to take out the Talisman Stone.
"No no no!" David immediately panicked, stammering as he spoke.
If he could move, he might have jumped up from the bed.
Herag chuckled, put away the Talisman Stone, understanding everything.
"Did you add Miss Lela's Talisman Stone?" Herag asked.
David said awkwardly, "I... I didn't dare to ask."
"I'll ask for you." Herag took out the Talisman Stone and sent a message to Irina.
Not long after, Irina replied: "Did you fancy Lela?"
Herag replied in a bad mood: "It's not me who fancies Lela, it's David."
"Who is David?" Irina inquired.
"He's my attendant, didn't you arrange for Lela to take care of him?" Herag explained.
"Oh, I don't have much of an impression. Here's Lela's Talisman Stone number," Irina immediately sent over Lela's Talisman Stone number.
She had completely no impression of David; her attention was all on Herag outside the city.
If Herag hadn't mentioned him, she might have forgotten his existence.
Herag then forwarded Lela's Talisman Stone number to David, saying, "Add her when you can move."
David seemed troubled: "I... If I add her, I wouldn't know what to say, better not."
"What do you say? Just invite her out for a meal," Herag said.
"Huh? I, better not, don't disturb her," David said timidly.
"She took care of you, shouldn't you treat her to a meal?" Herag asked.
David thought this made sense and nodded, saying, "I'll give it a try."
...
Three days later, Herag and David boarded the airship back to Silver Moon City.
Although David's injuries hadn't fully healed over the past few days, he could move freely.
There was still no news from Irina's side, indicating that dealing with that plane rift would take some time.
David initially wanted to return to East Source Commerce Association, planning to continue working after a few days.
Herag persuaded him to return to Silver Moon City and rest for a month, as it had been quite some time since he'd been back.
David was initially reluctant to return, feeling embarrassed about having achieved nothing significant.
Herag just patted his shoulder, "At home, no one cares about these things, as long as you're safe."
David listened and silently nodded, no longer insisting on going back to East Source Commerce Association.
When they landed in Silver Moon City and returned to King Street, to the familiar courtyard, David saw the familiar scene unchanged since he left, as if he had never left.
Reese felt relieved seeing Herag safely bring David back.
She was wearing an apron and holding a spatula crafted by an artisan at Herag's request, smiling: "I'll go cook, you two rest."
"You actually learned to cook?" David's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I've learned quite a bit these days," Reese boasted proudly.
The three of them ate dinner together as they used to.
The only difference now was that all the dishes were cooked by Reese alone.
David's room was still there, with the furnishings unchanged, allowing him to recuperate over this period.
Having been working tirelessly for the past few years, returning suddenly allowed David to relax, feeling like everything he went through was just a dream.
...
Outside Crystal City, in the contaminated area.
At the plane rift area, Dome, Irina, Mot, and four other wizards were gathered around.
These seven were at least Level 2 Wizards, with Dome being a Level 3 Wizard.
The plane rift had disappeared, and the black vortex was gone too.
Yet, Dome and the others still wore serious expressions, Dome said solemnly, "Although the plane rift has been repaired, I feel something has happened."
Dome had a lingering feeling that this particular plane rift might have caused some unforeseen effects that none could anticipate.
