On the panel, the Spider Walk spell is marked with the word "Temporary".
This clearly means that the panel does not fully acknowledge his level of mastery of the spell.
Kane understood perfectly; he knew the reason behind it all.
In fact, he did not truly grasp the essence of the Spiderwalking Technique.
He was simply copying the model, imprinting the spell onto his body in the form of a seal, which was no different in essence from a regular spellcaster using a magic network to activate a spell.
However, he didn't care about it.
Following the conventional path, regardless of the caster, mastering a second-tier spell requires years of dedicated study and practice, repeatedly refining the spell model.
With the help of the control panel, he had already taken a shortcut, which could be considered cheating.
"The advancement is complete. Now, it's time to prepare for Duke Eisenberg's conspiracy."
The following morning, at the Twin Port docks, a ship bearing the logo of a Nord Chamber of Commerce slowly moored at the shore.
Kane and Risa stood side by side on the dock, their gazes falling on Ms. Theresa, who had already changed into casual clothes.
Risa stared at Teresa with a complicated expression.
Theresa gently took Risa's hand, a soft smile on her face: "Risa, while I'm away, you must listen to Lord Kane, don't cause trouble easily, and don't forget our agreement."
"Okay—you too, take care of yourself."
Risa pouted, her tone still awkward, but the concern in her eyes was hard to hide.
Kane nodded slightly, looked at Theresa, and said in a calm but cautionary tone, "Ms. Theresa, don't forget my previous advice: please be sure to pay attention to your personal safety."
Nord's security was already much more chaotic than Sussas's, and he didn't want the favors he had done for others to be completely wasted due to an accident.
Moreover, the situation on Susas's side is turbulent, and he cannot leave at all; he must stay where he is and deal with any subsequent developments.
According to the intelligence Risa had previously obtained, he would soon set off to find Lady Ella in order to make further contact with the royal court.
Theresa nodded solemnly: "I understand, Lord Kane. Also, please take good care of Risa."
Kane nodded in agreement.
In his view, this demon was not entirely beyond redemption, and since she and the demon cult were sworn enemies, she could be considered a potential ally.
He naturally had no reason to waste such a useful asset.
Seeing that Kane had agreed, Theresa's smile softened even more. She gently patted Risa's hand, turned around, and boarded the merchant ship.
Kane and Risa stood quietly by the dock, watching the ship slowly sail away.
Only after the ship disappeared from sight did the two turn and leave the dock.
They planned to go to another dock and board a ship to Mrs. Ella's estate.
Mrs. Ella's estate is located on the outskirts of the city and can only be easily reached by boat.
Recently, Mrs. Ella has been keeping a low profile and rarely makes public appearances.
Even with Risa's abilities, it's currently impossible to obtain more information about her or make direct contact.
That's why Kane decided to change his approach and pay a special visit under the guise of expressing his gratitude.
Although, according to the previous agreement, Lady Ella was obligated to help him find a translator for the ancient Elven script.
However, from a courtesy standpoint, it was reasonable for him to visit and express his gratitude under the pretext of his outstanding translation work, and it was unlikely to arouse suspicion.
The two had not gone far when they were stopped at the entrance of an alley by the scene before them.
Several uniformed sheriffs were stopping passersby one by one, their expressions serious.
Many passersby were roughly pushed and scolded by the sheriff, and were only allowed to pass after a careful inspection to confirm that there were no signs of concealment on their faces.
Every sheriff had an extremely stern look in their eyes, their gazes fixed on every passerby like those of a hawk, not daring to miss the slightest abnormality.
A sheriff noticed Kane and Risa. He glanced at Risa first, then walked straight up to them.
He reached out to stop the two men, preparing to question them.
But when his gaze fell on Kane's dark skin exposed beyond the mask, he paused, his brows furrowed, and he murmured, "Drow—"
He looked Kane up and down for a moment, his expression complex, but finally waved his hand impatiently and said, "Get out of here and don't block the way."
Risa pursed her lips, clearly quite dissatisfied with the sheriff's attitude, but said nothing more.
Kane's heart skipped a beat. After a moment's thought, he took the initiative to ask, "Sir, excuse my intrusion, but may I ask what mission you are carrying out? Why are you checking passersby?"
"This is none of your business, Zhuo'er. Mind your own business and get out of here!"
The sheriff's face darkened, and his tone became increasingly unfriendly, clearly showing no intention of explaining or saying another word to Kane.
Seeing this, Kane calmly took out a silver coin and quietly slipped it into the sheriff's hand. At the same time, he secretly activated his friendship spell, softened his tone, and said with a smile, "Please calm down, sir. I am just a bounty hunter, and I have always been particularly interested in jobs that can make money. I asked casually when I saw you searching around, and I had no other intentions."
The sheriff squeezed the silver coin in his hand, his expression softening slightly. He looked at Kane and Risa, frowning as he said, "A group of arrogant mercenaries killed the guards of Duke Eisenberg's merchant guild."
We are now conducting a city-wide manhunt for these murderers. If you can find their whereabouts, His Highness the Duke will offer a substantial reward.
He paused, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and sneered, "However, this bounty probably won't be available to you bunch of opportunistic hyenas."
After saying that, he snorted twice, ignored Kane and his companion, and turned to continue questioning other passersby.
Kane's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously turned to look at Risa beside him.
He knew perfectly well that Risa was currently in Dorothy's body, and Dorothy was already involved with that mercenary group, so she should also be on the wanted list.
But the sheriff just now ignored her and showed no intention of questioning her.
Risa seemed to see through his thoughts, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and said with a hint of smugness, "Don't look at me like that. You're not the only one who can use mind control spells."
If I couldn't even handle this little trouble, I would have been killed by the pursuers sent by the demon cult long ago.

Kane understood, nodded, and said, "Let's go. We still need to find Mrs. Ella. We'll need your cooperation with what happens next."
Risa pursed her lips, didn't reply, but silently quickened her pace to keep up with Kane's rhythm.
As Kane passed by a street stall, he casually bought some gifts as a token of his visit. As he walked, he pondered his next steps and countermeasures.
The two soon arrived at another dock and boarded a ship bound for the suburban manor.
The boatman, with his oars, steadily steered the small boat, slowly moving forward along the waterway.
Just then, Risa's expression suddenly changed. She tugged at Kane's sleeve and whispered, "Get away from that area, the sooner the better."
Kane looked in the direction she indicated.
Not far away on the shore, there stood an exquisite and beautiful chapel with an elegant architectural style.
Many small boats were moored around the area, and from time to time, believers dressed in devout clothing would emerge from the chapel with solemn expressions.
Kane recognized him at a glance.
That was the church of Corellon Laresian, the chief god of the Elven pantheon, that he had seen when he first arrived at Twin Harbor.
The boatman, upon hearing Risa's words, paused for a moment, then turned to explain, "Sir, I'm truly sorry, but this is the only waterway to the outskirts of the city; there's no way to bypass it. We can only pass near the church."
Risa's expression grew increasingly grim, a hint of undisguised disgust and rejection flashing across her face, and her aura turned somewhat cold.
Kane noticed her unusual behavior, his eyes flickered, and he quickly lowered his voice, instinctively asking, "Is there something wrong with this church?"
