After Blake left, Herag not only continued his daily meditation practice, studying, and teasing Chatiya, but also took on an additional task.
That was to patrol various places in Black Rock Valley from time to time, count the number of people each day, and check if there were any unusual signs in everyone's condition.
As the only official wizard in Black Rock Valley, he had absolute authority over everyone.
After several days, Herag didn't find any problems.
All these people were veterans, with the shortest having stayed for at least seven years.
In the entire Black Rock Valley, ironically, Herag had been there for the shortest time.
Herag patrolled twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, only returning to the castle to continue his own affairs after ensuring nothing was amiss.
Five days later, Blake was still outside and hadn't returned.
