The Missing Key

The following morning, after delegating various tasks to Farhan, Arias set off immediately for the Ramgis Forest. Farhan now held a prominent position in the Refania Kingdom, known to the people as Lord Farhan. He was responsible for overseeing the treasures in the royal treasury, a position Arias had appointed him to with royal authority. As Arias’s grandfather, Farhan’s influence and prestige were on par with that of the high nobility.

Since narrowly escaping death previously, Farhan’s power had advanced from the first level of sage to the second level. With the abundant resources and Arias’s guidance, it seemed that reaching the third level of sage was within his grasp. However, Arias believed this was not enough. Within ten years, he intended to elevate Farhan to the level of master mage and promote Maria and Albert to the sage level.
