This caravan just happened to be departing today, and was approached by Herag while waiting in line for inspection at the city gate.

The travel expense is one Gold Coin, and Lins can follow the caravan, with food and drink provided by them.

The Gold Coins Herag used were all provided by Parker, matching the commonly used Gold Coin specifications in this world.

Therefore, Herag didn't need to worry about revealing any information due to the Gold Coins.

Herag patted Lins on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, kid. Don't come back until you become a Knight."

Lins nodded excitedly, "Sir, I will definitely become a Knight!"

The caravan continued its journey, and Lins waved to Herag from the carriage head.

After sending this little rascal off, Herag turned and walked towards the city gate in the southwest direction.

He planned to check out the border camp there.

He had already gotten a basic understanding of the situation in the city, with nothing particularly unusual.

In Herag's mind was already a complete map of Oberstein, with every building recorded in detail.

These things needed to be drawn into a map later on and handed over to Parker when he got back to Base 27.

After exiting through the southwestern city gate, Herag found that there were already many Adventurers near the border.

They were all gazing towards the Lime Mountain Range, attempting to spot something from there.

Though the Lime Mountain Range was dangerous, the Adventurers were unafraid, and were even more eager to go inside.

Constantly, Adventurers from afar came to Oberstein, all wanting to explore and take risks.

After a brief pause, Herag pretended to stroll around while gradually nearing the military camp.

The outside of the camp was surrounded by a wooden fence, and these Adventurers had to stop two hundred meters away, unable to get closer.

Herag took a look; this distance was sufficient. Shenlan's environment detection could cover most of the tents without any problem.

Shenlan's environment detection expanded, and the situation inside the camp instantly came into Herag's view, with scenes of the camp surfacing in his mind.

Herag quickly saw Sifler; the magical aura of a Level 2 Wizard was too obvious.

Herag dared not observe for too long, quickly moving on to examine other areas.

If he stared for a while longer, it was very likely that Sifler would sense someone watching him.

Though there were many people here, there was no need to take that risk.

Knowing that a Level 2 Wizard was inside the camp was enough.

Herag switched his vision to other areas.

After scanning around, he found only a few scattered Wizard Apprentices and no one at the Official Wizard Level.

Then there were some Great Knights and Knight Level figures.

After confirming again, Herag had a rough idea of the strength in Oberstein.

Returning to Oberstein, he went to the back of the residential area where Asuna lived.

Checking Shenlan's environment detection, he flipped over into the backyard.

The door was locked, but for Herag, it posed no difficulty. A slight use of Magic Power easily unlocked the door.

He went to Asuna's room, opened the wardrobe, and put a large pile of clothes into the Space Ring for storage.

Herag opened a drawer and found all kinds of colorful small undergarments, thought for a moment, and also stored them in the Space Ring.

After collecting all the everyday clothes, Herag glanced at the nightstand where there was a drawing of Asuna and her brother.

In the picture, Lins appeared just a few years old, faintly resembling his current self.

Asuna also looked very young, probably only eleven or twelve at the time.

Herag thought for a moment and put the picture away, too.

Having done all this, Herag locked the back door and flipped back out.

Then he left the city directly, finding a secluded spot in the woods outside to hide.

Throughout the process, Shenlan's environment detection was active, constantly checking the surroundings for any approaching people.

He took out a piece of parchment, a quill, and ink, and started drawing Oberstein's map and the distribution of defense forces at the border army.

He marked the positions of the three Elves and the Level 2 Wizard.

Of course, people would keep moving, so these were only for reference.

After finishing the map, it was still early, so he could only wait for a while, needing to return after dark.

Going back in broad daylight would be too obvious and easy to be detected.

Herag was in no hurry and kept monitoring the surroundings for any activity.

A few hours later, nightfall arrived.

Herag still did not move. Even though it was dark now, there were still many people around.

In the distance, the sounds of drunken men laughing and shouting could be heard from time to time.

He planned to wait until after midnight, as moving then would be the safest choice.

Patiently, Herag continued to wait for a few more hours, and now it was deep into the night, with silence everywhere.

"Shadowy Corner."

Herag turned entirely into a pool of shadow, then moved towards the Lime Mountain Range.

The route was quite similar to when he came, without encountering any trouble.

On the way back, Herag noticed some changes in the patrol soldiers' positions.

He silently noted it down, though it wasn't particularly important.

In wars at the Wizard Level, ordinary people served no purpose.

...

After returning to Base 27, Herag handed over the completed map to Parker and said, "There is currently one Level 2 Wizard and three Crystalization Level Elf in Oberstein. I didn't see the Level 2 Wizard Elf, no idea where they went."

"Besides these, there are three Level 1 Gasification Wizard Level Adventurers; other forces are not worth worrying about."

Parker nodded, "It seems there's no hidden strength. That Level 2 Wizard Elf probably went back to seek reinforcements and shouldn't return anytime soon."

He glanced at Herag, "You did very well."

Parker then gathered everyone in the base once again, "This is our first offensive operation. The combat objective is to eliminate or capture the Level 2 Wizard and the three Crystalization Level Elf in Oberstein."

"Mr. Parker, please allow me to participate in this operation." A Level 2 Wizard immediately volunteered.

Soon after, many others also stood up, all eager to join this action.

Even a fool knew this was a great chance to gain merit.

Facing three Crystalization Wizards and one Level 2 Wizard, aside from that one troublesome Level 2 Wizard, the other three Elves were easy to deal with.

There were as many as eleven Level 2 Wizards in Base 27.

Parker raised his hand, signaling for everyone to quiet down.

Once the surroundings were silent, Parker said, "I know everyone wants to participate. This is our first operation out, so not only do we have to succeed, but we also have to do it beautifully. All Level 2 Wizards, come with me this time, and it's best if we can capture all four of them alive."

As soon as Parker said this, the Level 2 Wizards around cheered.

With Parker also taking action, the success of this operation was almost certain.

Parker was the only Level 3 Wizard at the base, also the top combat strength.
