The red crystal acts as a teleportation coordinate, and it's quite simple to use.

Infuse it with magic power and then touch it to the ground, it will automatically merge into the surface.

The whole process is quick and silent, without any disturbance.

Herag glanced at the ground beneath his feet; there was no change at all.

Unless the Elf Race sends people to check every inch of this area, it's difficult to find this teleportation coordinate.

Herag quietly placed all three teleportation coordinates down without attracting any attention.

Two on the ground, one inside a large rock.

Throughout the process, Herag maintained a natural demeanor, showing no abnormalities, even though no one was watching him secretly.

Herag completed the task Parker assigned him with just a leisurely stroll.

All three teleportation coordinates are outside the forest, so when they teleport over, they can bypass the defenses of this forest area.

The Elf Race in Miracle Valley, caught off guard, will certainly suffer a devastating blow.

Herag followed the path within the forest and walked out.

Upon reaching the wooden door, it automatically opened.

After Herag stepped out, the wooden door silently closed again.

He looked up at the sky, it was already nighttime, and the streetlights in town had been lit, with the faint sound of tavern chatter in the distance.

Herag dispelled his elf form, returning to his original human appearance, and headed towards the inn.

Not far along, a shadow darted over from a corner in the distance.

Herag had already noticed him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

The man was Bain, who respectfully greeted, "Bain greets Your Highness, the Prince."

Herag slapped him on the head: "What Prince? Don't speak nonsense, or bear the consequences yourself."

Bain then realized that the Prince deliberately disguised himself as human, and calling him that would expose his identity.

He quickly apologized in panic, "M-Master, I'm sorry, I misspoke."

"Is there anything you need? If not, don't bother me." Herag said impatiently.

Bain smirked: "Master, this is a little token of my appreciation, along with the ten gold coins you gave me earlier."

Herag glanced at the security box in Bain's hand, which appeared quite heavy and was filled with gold coins and gems.

Herag naturally couldn't refuse such a windfall.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way."

He accepted it directly into his space ring and prepared to leave.

Bain quickly said, "Master, I didn't know the Ruby Commerce Association had dealings with you today, I apologize for any offense. I will immediately compensate and offer some amends."

Herag scolded him directly: "Fool! Do not take unnecessary actions, and do not let anyone know you are acquainted with me. I'm just an adventurer escorting a caravan, understood?"

"Do not act clever."

Herag's cold tone frightened Bain, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

In his eagerness to impress Herag, Bain realized he almost made a mistake.

Since the Prince disguised himself as a human, naturally, he should not be exposed.

If Bain senselessly compensated and offered amends without reason, it would be far too conspicuous.

Bain was relieved that he did not carry out those actions directly, otherwise, he would have messed things up.

Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Bain's forehead.

If he ruined the Prince's plans, not even ten lives would be enough to compensate.

While Bain trembled in fear, Herag had already walked far away, leaving Bain with just the sight of his back.

Only after Herag completely disappeared from view did Bain breathe a sigh of relief.

The pressure from the Prince was immense, especially after realizing he misspoke and mishandled the situation, causing great anxiety.

Fortunately, perhaps the Prince did not want to reveal his identity, so he let him off without punishment.

After leaving the area near the fence, the crowd on the streets began to grow, the surroundings becoming livelier.

The area close to the fence was quite desolate, with no one daring to approach.

Returning to the inn, Herag opened the door to find Reese leaping onto him, hanging on his neck.

He naturally caught Reese into his arms.

"The mission is complete," Herag said.

Reese exclaimed, "Already completed?"

Herag nodded, "Correct. In a few days, we'll head back with people from the Ruby Commerce Association. Once we return to Nightfall City, we'll go back to the Lime Mountain Range. Considering the time after our return, it should be about a year."

Reese smiled, "Then can I later go with you to the Land of Dawn?"

She didn't ask how Herag completed the mission.

There must be a reason for Herag's silence, if he intended for her to know, he would tell her, and she knew not to ask otherwise.

"It seems so," Herag chuckled.

The two embraced tightly, the atmosphere turning intimate with just a slight movement.

Reese gazed at him seductively, slightly parting her red lips…

...

A few days later, Herag and the three of them began the journey back with the trade convoy.

The returning goods were significantly fewer, allowing the convoy to move much faster.

After twenty days, Herag and the others returned to Nightfall City.

"Mr. Herag, thank you for your escort during this time. We may set off again in a month, and if you're available, feel free to find me at the Ruby Commerce Association," said Ladored, offering thirty gold coins as a gesture of goodwill.

Herag replied, "If we're not assigned to other tasks at that time, I'd be pleased to cooperate with the Ruby Commerce Association."

Herag uttered these words merely as a formality.

They certainly wouldn't be in Nightfall City by then, but there was no need to mention this to Ladored.

After parting ways with the people from the Ruby Commerce Association, Reese asked, "Herag, are we taking the same route back?"

"Yes, let's take the original route back for now, the situation on the other side is still unclear."

Many paths could take them back, but having never traversed them, unforeseen problems might arise.

Returning via the initial path could help minimize uncertainties.

They had been in the Elf Plane for ten months, with about a month left once they returned to Base 27.

Herag's current strategy was to prioritize safety, ensuring the trio could return to the Wizard Plane and secure entry into the Land of Dawn.

Thus, returning by the original route was the safest choice, as other paths might present various unforeseen circumstances.

The situation in Oberstein was surely becoming more tense, with the Elf Race already reinforcing their forces.

Traveling via other normal routes could inevitably lead to encounters with them.

Herag and his companions stayed in Nightfall City for a day, replenishing necessary provisions before leaving the city early the following morning, beginning their journey back via the original route.
