Larry turned around to return to Moonlight Forest; he still had some magic potion order tasks to handle temporarily.

Moonlight Forest was making full use of him, the Master of Magic Potions, after all, the employment fee was quite high, and they had to earn back the cost.

The safety of the road didn't need to concern Larry; with Blake, this Crystalization Wizard, there basically wouldn't be any problem.

Even if something did happen, he, as a Liquidation Wizard, couldn't help much.

Moreover, Larry wasn't good at fighting; most of the time he was studying magic potion.

The carriage followed the main road through Red Maple Forest and came to a crossroads.

When Herag returned with the caravan, it was here that he parted from them.

The carriage continued eastward at the crossroads, taking the same road the caravan had taken.

Three days later.

The carriage gradually entered flatlands; the terrain was flat, and the horizon was visible to the naked eye.

A shadow of a city appeared in the distance; this was Williams City, a border city on the westernmost side of the Kane Kingdom.

Entering the city also required strict ID verification and other procedures, but Pete just showed a metal badge, and the border soldier respectfully allowed them through.

This badge was the family emblem of the Cheqi Family, with the main feature being a plant engraved on it.

Even if the soldier didn't recognize the badge, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.

The carriage was driven by Great Knights, so what kind of person would be sitting inside?

They're not foolish; they can tell at a glance who they can afford to offend and who they can't.

Herag and the others stayed in Williams City for a day, mainly to bathe, eat, rest, and also to replenish some supplies like water and food.

They didn't need to rush; they rested whenever necessary.

After resting for a day, the three continued their journey, spending five days passing through two small cities before finally arriving at a valley.

This place is called Blackrock Valley, belonging to the Cheqi Family, mainly used for cultivating various magic potion materials and common herbs.

The soil in Blackrock Valley is special, pure black, making it very suitable for the growth of various magic potion materials.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the valley, which had a small castle.

Three guards stood atop the castle, all of Knight Level. Additionally, there was a Third Class Wizard Apprentice responsible for the defense work at the valley entrance.

When they saw Blake and the others get out of the car, they opened the castle gate.

Blake introduced, "This is Blackrock Valley. The whole valley is set up with defensive witch arrays. This array was purchased from the wizard organization in the Land of Dawn; even a Level 3 Wizard can't break through it quickly."

"So you can rest assured about the safety here; it's no worse than Moonlight Forest."

Herag observed the terrain while having Shenlan record the surrounding data.

He asked, "What is the Land of Dawn?"

"Larry hasn't mentioned it to you?" Blake asked in surprise, then realized, "You just advanced not long ago, so it's normal not to have had the chance to tell you."

Blake took out a map, a standard map of the Kala Continent.

The map of the Kala Continent extends from the Doris Kingdom in the west to the Kane Kingdom in the east, with every place marked.

The map Blake held was also detailed with the locations of each wizard organization and their jurisdictions.

At the northernmost part of the map, there was a void, depicting countless mountain ranges.

Blake circled a marked area with his finger, "This is the position most maps of the Kala Continent will label."

He then moved his finger to the continuous northern mountain ranges, "As for here, it has always been an unknown area to most ordinary people of the Kala Continent. And this, is the Land of Dawn."

Blake continued, "This place we are currently in is called the Barren Land by the people of the Land of Dawn."

"Barren? Does it mean a lack of resources?" Herag asked.

Blake said, "Yes, but it's not entirely accurate. Besides the scarcity of resources like magic potion materials, another critical point is the energy particle concentration."

"Energy particle concentration?"

This sentence suddenly made Herag realize that the energy particle concentration of the Kala Continent seems to be much higher than that of the Coleson Continent.

Before coming here, he was only a First-Class Wizard Apprentice with not much understanding of energy particles, so he wouldn't have noticed the issue of energy particle concentration.

Now that Blake mentioned it, Herag recalled that the energy particle concentration in the two places was indeed different.

Blake nodded, "That's right, it's about energy particle concentration. You won't feel anything because you've always been here, but once you go to the Land of Dawn, you'll experience how high the concentration is there."

"Meditating in such a place will be much faster than here. Moreover, in the Land of Dawn, there will be more people with wizard qualifications, making wizard cultivation and ascension relatively easier there."

"Then why don't people here go to the Land of Dawn? I haven't even heard of this name before."

After thinking about this question, Herag guessed that there might be some restrictions; the inside story here was apparently not something ordinary Wizard Apprentices could access.

Blake said, "These wizard organizations in the Barren Land, like the Green Cottage, Moonlight Forest, and Aluf Swamp, were once all wizard organizations of the Land of Dawn."

"Then why are they all here now?"

"They were all exiled. Once, the Land of Dawn had countless powerful wizards, and the number of people embarking on the wizard path kept increasing."

"With the development over time, another issue arose—the resources were insufficient."

"A lack of resources would lead to war, and war would have winners and losers. The wizard organizations here now were the former losers."

"They lost that war and were exiled here."

"Additionally, people from these wizard organizations can never set foot in the Land of Dawn again, unless under special circumstances, like Augustus Academy."

"Augustus Academy is special; it is a wizard organization of the Land of Dawn; this is just a branch. The people of this organization can enter the Land of Dawn, but if people from other organizations enter rashly without permission and are discovered, they will be exterminated."

"In fact, Augustus Academy acts as the manager of the Land of Dawn here, monitoring everything and occasionally intervening in some matters."

Blake tapped the mountains in the north with his fingers, "Originally, there weren't so many mountains here. After these wizard organizations were exiled here, the wizards from the Land of Dawn created endless mountains to block people from the Barren Land from going over."

"Ordinary people would have a hard time going over; wizards naturally have ways to pass these mountains. But as I said, once discovered, it would be a death sentence."

As he said this, he seemed to remind Herag not to impulsively venture over.
