Silver Moon City is indeed too large. Due to the three houses Herag selected being in different locations, it was impossible to view them all in one day.

The group took a carriage and spent two days reviewing the houses and their surrounding conditions.

After comprehensively considering the conditions of the three places, Herag ultimately chose the residence on King Street.

Upon inspection, Herag found that the place on King Street was the quietest, with fewer residents around.

He only learned that the houses in this area could only be purchased by members of Serlandir.

The number of official Serlandir members is not many, and with the vastness of Silver Moon City, they are more sparsely distributed, making it relatively quieter.

This fitted Herag's requirements even more, as an area comprised entirely of Serlandir members made for a simpler social composition.

After comprehensive consideration, Herag decided to purchase the house on King Street.

As a formal member of Serlandir and a first-time property buyer, he received a 50% discount.

The original price was eighty thousand Magic Stones, and Herag paid forty thousand Magic Stones to buy the courtyard on King Street.

After completing the transactions, Herag paid the forty thousand Magic Stones directly with Talisman Stones, leaving a balance of two thousand Magic Stones, which, combined with the four thousand Magic Stones on him, amounted to sixty thousand Magic Stones remaining.

Residences on King Street are all standalone courtyards, separated by dozens of meters.

There are no bustling populated areas nearby, so it is very quiet.

Herag put his hand on the doorknob at the entrance, and when he touched it, the door opened automatically.

This small courtyard is equipped with a Witch Array, which can autonomously record personnel information and automatically identify who may enter freely.

Those without recorded identity information cannot open the door to enter.

The house comprises three floors and many rooms.

David voluntarily requested to stay in a room on the first floor, while Herag and Reese chose the master bedroom on the second floor.

Having moved into the new home, Herag, following past life's customs, decided the three of them would cook a meal themselves at home.

He and Reese went to a nearby market to purchase some ingredients and discovered that the prices for vegetables and fruits were indeed ridiculously high.

They spent a total of five Gold Coins on a pile of ingredients.

While they did buy quite a lot, the expense was still unreasonable.

Herag was not short on Gold Coins, but ordinary people without his wealth could not afford these vegetables in their daily life.

Herag seldom revealed his culinary skills, but he took out the wok and other cooking utensils he previously had made by a craftsman to cook several dishes, leaving David and Reese surprised.

They never imagined Herag could make delicious food, and though they had never seen these dishes before, the aroma was enticing and mouthwatering.

At the table, the three quickly started eating heartily.

After eating for a while, Herag said, "We currently have enough Magic Stones to last us for some time, so during this period, let's focus on diligently improving our skills."

"Aren't we going to take on tasks?" Reese asked.

"We can take on tasks, but it depends on the situation. Avoid dangerous ones as much as possible; we must focus on making ourselves stronger during this time," said Herag.

Herag's subsequent strategy was simple: grow steadily.

First, use the existing Magic Stones to exchange for resources, while also taking on some low-risk tasks to earn Magic Stones and Contribution Points.

Once strength has increased, and if resources become inadequate, then consider taking risks.

"Tomorrow, we go to Silver Moon City's library to enrich our knowledge base as much as possible," Herag said.

"Okay." David and Reese had no objections and followed Herag's lead.

At night, Herag glanced at the Talisman Stone; Lillian's friend request still hadn't been accepted, leaving him wondering what she was doing.

...

The library of Silver Moon City has a total of five floors, and the first three are open to the public, requiring just a card, costing ten Magic Stones a month.

The price isn't too high, and most people can afford it.

As an official member of Serlandir, Herag can use the first three floors of the library for free.

The fourth and fifth floors are more special; Herag discovered that entering the fourth floor requires 100 Contribution Points to borrow books, which are charged per book.

The fifth floor requires 500 Contribution Points to enter, and it is also charged per book.

Herag browsed the tavern forum, searching for information related to the library.

He learned that the first three floors of the library mostly hold foundational knowledge, lacking advanced or profound content.

The fourth and fifth floors of the library contain more advanced and profound knowledge, with each book needing separate payment of Magic Stones to borrow.

Prices vary for different books, with some even costing tens of thousands of Magic Stones, just for borrowing, not purchasing.

The next morning, Herag and the two others took a carriage to the library of Silver Moon City.

The library of Silver Moon City is a cylindrical building, standing there very prominently and visible from afar.

"Hello, registration." Herag and the two others said upon arriving at the library's front desk.

The receptionist was a young lady, looking about twenty years old, with a very weak magic aura, only at the level of a First-Class Wizard Apprentice.

In the Land of Dawn, Wizard Apprentices with such poor qualifications usually engage in ordinary work, slightly better than ordinary people.

Many job positions require only a bit of Magic Power, typically filled by those with poorer qualifications.

"Okay, please show your Talisman Stone," the lady said.

Herag took out his own Talisman Stone and quickly completed the registration.

"Mr. Herag, as an official member of the organization, you are free to browse the first three floors. Since your current Contribution Points are zero, you cannot access the fourth and fifth floors," the staff member respectfully returned the Talisman Stone, saying.

Herag nodded and let David and Reese proceed with their own procedures.

Each of them paid ten Magic Stones and could view books on the library's first three floors for one month.

One month will certainly be insufficient; they can renew it later.

David and Reese each had three thousand Magic Stones provided by their families, enough for their long-term use, so there was no need for Herag to pay.

"Let's go, you two go check out the catalog and choose the books you want to read," Herag said.

Unlike these two, Herag intended to enter all the books' content from the three floors, then decide which to focus on.

Upon entering the library, the three separated and began searching for their desired books to study.

Herag started storming through the books, recording the contents of every shelf as he passed.

While recording books in the history section, Herag paused for a rare moment.

From a book titled "Brief History," he saw the words Sixth Ring Tower.
