Moreover, there is a Magic Master here with the strength of a Level 2 Wizard, facing Herag would be nearly a life-and-death situation.

Earlier, when he acted, he used pure physical strength without a trace of magic power.

When Herag and Lins entered Obestan, they didn't attract any attention.

The two looked like adventurers; there had been quite a few adventurers entering Obestan recently, so people were used to it.

Herag glanced at Shenlan's environment scan feedback; nearby were only some common folk and a couple of Knight Level individuals among the soldiers.

The roads in Obestan City were all very wide. After studying the construction here, Herag found these roads should be built this wide to facilitate army passage during wartime.

Along the way, they met many adventurers, some of whom were casters.

But these casters were all very ordinary; not even a single Third Class Wizard Apprentice Level was seen.

So although these people were casters, their strength was not threatening. Herag just made a brief note of them without paying much attention.

"Sir, over there is my and my sister's home."

After crossing the main road, they reached a low residential area. Lins pointed at a house in the distance and introduced it.

The houses in this area were not luxurious, all were quite ordinary, yet they were clean and tidy.

The ground nearby was clean, which showed that someone often cleaned it.

The location here was not bad; it probably still required some money.

As an adventurer, Asuna had earned some money over the years.

She supported the family by herself, bought a house, and could even support her brother's education.

Herag couldn't help but marvel at how tough this girl was.

Herag followed Lins into the house and looked around; there wasn't any excess decor, and the place was overall tidy and clean.

There were only two rooms inside the house, one for each sibling.

Lins's room was messier; Asuna's room looked very comfortable and was extremely tidy at a glance.

Herag glanced at the wardrobe, pondering to bring Asuna some clothes when he had time.

Currently, Asuna only wore black silk and white silk maid outfits, without casual wear.

Although it provided Herag a great visual and tactile experience and increased his attack speed,

some casual clothing should be prepared.

The clothes in Asuna's closet would fit just right.

Certainly, he couldn't take them now; without a proper reason, Lins might even think he was a pervert.

"What are the main buildings inside Obestan? Such as the City Lord's Mansion?" Herag asked.

The main purpose of his trip was to scout for individuals of considerable strength.

Such beings were likely to reside in important places.

Herag planned to take advantage of the daytime to scan directly and check them out.

Lins pondered, "There is no City Lord's Mansion in Obestan, but there is a City Hall. The Governor usually resides there, and sometimes important figures stay there."

"Take me over there for a look; this is my first visit to Obestan, so I plan to wander around." Herag said casually.

"Okay, it's not far from here." Lins started to lead the way ahead.

The City Hall has a complex of buildings, with high walls erected outside, guarded by soldiers.

Outside the City Hall is an open square, only half of which is accessible, while the other half is a restricted area that cannot be approached freely.

Herag stood on this side of the square, gazing toward the City Hall.

At the same time, Shenlan's environment detection was activated, quickly clarifying the situation inside.

Inside the City Hall were three Elf Race members, judging by their aura to be at the Crystalization Wizard's Level.

There was also a Level 2 Wizard Elf who hadn't been found and wasn't currently inside the City Hall.

Another Level 2 Wizard caster was also not detected, seemingly not inside the City Hall either.

Besides these individuals, the only somewhat more formidable ones inside the City Hall were two Great Knights, while the rest's combat power was negligible.

What concerned Herag was where those two Level 2 Wizard level entities had gone.

Afterward, Herag spent several hours walking through the entire Obestan City.

During this time, he discovered two Level 1 Gasification Wizard level casters, both adventurers.

After completing the search inside Obestan City, there was still one place unchecked, which was the Border Camp.

The camp is southwest of Obestan, facing the Lime Mountain Range from afar.

To scout the camp, it was necessary to leave the city.

Before leaving the city, Herag prepared to arrange things for Lins.

"I plan to go out of the city and look at the Lime Mountain Range from afar; you don't need to come," Herag said.

Lins said, "You can't go over there now; it's guarded by soldiers, and all access is strictly prohibited."

"It's fine; I only want to look from a distance, not intending to go over," Herag explained.

"Then there shouldn't be a problem. Do you have a place to stay tonight? You can stay at my home." Lins enthusiastically invited.

Herag shook his head, "No need. You want to become a knight, right?"

When Lins heard this, he became serious instantly, "Yeah, I want to become a knight!"

"Here are a hundred Gold Coins. Twenty of them are the tuition for five years at the Gray Knight Academy. You should set off immediately to study there and don't return unless necessary."

Earlier, during the couple's nightly conversations after exercises with Asuna, Herag mentioned that Lins always wanted to attend the Gray Knight Academy to become a real knight.

But the Gray Knight Academy is far from Obestan, on the far east side of the Noen Kingdom, taking at least a month's journey.

Asuna naturally wasn't comfortable letting Lins go alone that far.

The tuition wasn't an issue; Asuna could afford it.

The problem was that Lins didn't actually have much knight talent; this path wasn't suitable for him.

But now, these were no longer issues. Herag didn't intend for Lins to truly become a knight, just to temporarily keep him away from Obestan.

In Herag's view, Asuna's constant obstruction would only make Lins more rebellious.

Instead, letting him experience it firsthand made him realize he truly had no knight talent.

Young people are like that; you can't reason with them; only by stumbling and falling can they truly understand.

Looking at the hundred Gold Coins, if it were before, Lins would've been ecstatic.

But now, with Asuna's fate unknown, he was somewhat reluctant to leave Obestan.

Seeing the hesitation in his eyes, Herag continued, "What use is there in staying here now? You can't lend any help. Go to the Gray Knight Academy; only by becoming stronger do you have the qualification and assurance to discuss other matters."

Lins nodded silently, "Thank you, sir. I understand."

Herag got directly to the point, contacting a caravan and, after paying a bit, arranged for Lins to go east with the caravan toward the Gray Knight Academy.
