The Dark Church not only sent people into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to search, but also issued a warrant throughout its territory, ordering every kingdom under its control to look for Jonathan.
More than once, Jonathan encountered knights carrying his portrait and questioning him in a bullying tone.
He joined a merchant caravan and easily crossed the border between the Dark Alliance and the Holy Union, arriving in Holy Union territory.
The warrant for Jonathan was not as strict here as it had been in the Dark Alliance. He made his way to the capital of the Hess Kingdom, Hess City.
He bought a house on Keyan Street and settled there for the time being.
Hess City, the kingdom's capital, was very large. It was only a little smaller than Fenlai City, and its population was substantial.
One day, he went to the western part of Hess City.
Beside the Light Temple was a forge. Word had it that Master Colby was the greatest weaponsmith in Hess City.
When he arrived, a maid assumed he had come to buy a weapon and began introducing him to various greatswords.
"I've heard that Master Colby is here. I want to see him."
"See Master Colby?" the maid said. "Master Colby is the greatest weaponsmith in Hess City. There isn't a weapon he can't forge, but it isn't easy to meet him."
"How many gold coins? Just tell me. I must see him today."
"Fifty gold coins."
"No problem." Jonathan readily took a bag of gold coins from his pocket, though in truth he had taken them from his Space Ring.
Most of his money was on his Magic Crystal Card, but he kept more than a hundred thousand gold coins in his Space Ring in case of emergencies.
"Here, count them."
