All Benefits, No Harm

The sound of whips cracking echoed on the stone bridge outside Grant Castle. →

With the release of Battle Qi and the power of magical elements, the originally flat and white stone bridge quickly became pitted and uneven.

Earl Grant was undoubtedly a battle-hardened noble Knight.

Although he uses a whip, a rather unconventional weapon, he handles each attack with remarkable skill, controlling the force and direction of his Battle Qi with practiced ease.

In addition, he was able to handle the battle with remarkable ease, pointing out Saine's weaknesses and areas for improvement.

Thank goodness, although Saine lived in the Underground World City of Mozhsuobula for more than ten years, those years were not like those of Earl Grant, which were spent in war.

Experimentation and research are what Spellcaster like Saine spend the vast majority of their time on.

While Saine is ruthless in his attacks and battles, this is merely in line with the temperament of Black Wizard Apprentice.

Unlike his father, Earl Grant, who was a full-fledged professional soldier.

With his profound Battle Qi spirit Quasi-Knight and countless rich combat experience, Earl Grant finally managed to suppress the arrogance of Saine, who had been showing off his prowess since arriving in Grant Territory.

At first, Saine was somewhat dismissive of Earl Grant's tips and advice during the battle.

However, he was unable to break through Earl Grant's Battle Qi and whip.

Even a proud Advanced Magic Apprentice like Saine had to admit that the heights his father had reached in the Combat Domain were beyond what he, at only twenty-five years old, could surpass.

Of course, for Mage, the most important thing is knowledge.

Knowledge is power.

As long as Saine continues to learn and grow, he will eventually surpass his father.

"My Mental Strength and Magic Power power are almost exhausted. Is this the extent of Quasi-Knight's Battle Qi?" Saine thought to himself as he unleashed another Flame Hand spell.

"No, an ordinary Quasi-Knight shouldn't be able to do this. The fact that he can reach this level is also related to the refinement of his Violet Flame Battle Qi and the perfect timing of the Battle Qi releases each time," Saine thought, shaking his head.

The whip, wreathed in purple flames, lashed out in mid-air and directly shattered Saine's intermediate-level magic Flame Hand.

Regarding Saine's performance, Earl Grant commented again, "The attack power of this intermediate spell is not bad, but I have noticed a problem."

You only know one advanced spell, right?

"Including that high-level spell you just used to injure Carter, that should also be an offensive spell that comes with that Magic Staff, right?"

"That's why you mainly use intermediate-level magic."

"That's true. At only twenty-five years old, it's already quite an achievement that you've been promoted to Advanced Apprentice."

"How could one possibly master too many complex and obscure advanced spells? Logically speaking, advancing as a magic apprentice is much more difficult than advancing as Knight Attendant," said Earl Grant.

Earl Grant's words essentially revealed everything True Details Saine.

This also demonstrates that he is suppressing Saine from all sides.

Saine seems to have exhausted all means, but Earl Grant hasn't gone all out yet.

Faced with this situation, Earl Grant did not want to strain his relationship with his son, whom he had just reunited with.

The count slowed his attack and said, "Stay here. With the power and resources of the Grant Family, we can help you find several advanced Spell Model."

"And I know that Mage ' research and experiments are very expensive."

"I can allocate 50,000 Gold Coin to you annually in the name of the Earl and Grant Territory for the expenses required for research," Earl Grant promised.

The Gold Coin of the Lisia Alliance are still quite valuable, especially since the terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, and the grain production is abundant.

In terms of the value of Gold Coin, the currency of the Lisia Alliance is more valuable than the Sifa Currency of the Sifa Kingdom, and only slightly less valuable than the Ok Empire's Aojin.

Fifty thousand Gold Coin a year is already an extremely extravagant figure.

Many impoverished noble families might not even have this much wealth.

With such a large investment of Gold Coin, even Quasi-Magician might be tempted, let alone Advanced Apprentice apprentices.

After all, Earl Grant was right; the Mage ' research and experiments were far too expensive.

Those like Saine, who come from wealthy families or have inherited a substantial fortune from their mentors, are ultimately a minority.

Most magic apprentices spend nearly half of their lives not on Experimental Research, but on acquiring resources and materials for their experiments.

This situation is actually quite common at the level of Formal Magician or above.

Besides the 50,000 Gold Coin, the power and connections possessed by the Grant Family cannot be measured by ordinary money.

For example, Earl Grant could find ways to obtain rare experimental materials or precious items for Saine's research.

Expensive Energy Crystal.

This ability is something that some impoverished minor nobles or magic apprentices without any organization behind them would never even dare to dream of.

More importantly, all of this is free; Saine doesn't need to give anything in return!

Therefore, from any perspective, Saine's agreement to return to the family is entirely beneficial.

Aren't Mage synonymous with rationality and erudition?

Saine should be able to figure this out.

Earl Grant believed he had Saine firmly under his control, both in battle and in other areas.

But this count was clearly unaware of what Saine had gone through over the years, and knew nothing about Saine's background.

The estate of an earl's family...

Hmph, if Saine were to convert all of his mentor's relics from his Space Bracelet, as well as those thirty Level-2 Energy Crystal, into cash, I wonder how much of that enormous Earl's Castle would be worth.

Earl Grant slowed his attack, and after releasing a Fireball Spell, Saine also took a few steps back.

It's clear that Earl Grant had no intention of harming Saine.

His riding whip was always aimed at the magic released by Saine; the whip, which contained Violet Flame Battle Qi, never once landed on Saine.

However, Saine was still mostly thinking about leaving. With his Mental Strength and Magic Power depleted, Saine could no longer afford to waste any more time with Earl Grant.

A simple, black Magic Staff was taken out of the Space Bracelet by Saine.

This is one of the two Magic Staff that Moxidu left for Saine.

The other, more aggressive metal Magic Staff, Saine has not yet fully figured out and mastered.

As for the black Magic Staff, Saine had already figured out its general purpose, and with his Advanced Apprentice Mental Strength strength, he could barely control it.

In addition to containing a restorative Flesh Regeneration spell, the black Magic Staff Magic Staff also possesses two other spontaneous spells.

One was an offensive formal magic Fire Ember Impact; the other was a functional formal magic, Song of the Great Wind.

The Mental Strength required for the Fire Ember Impact is too high, and the Magic Power consumption is also too great. It is clear that Saine is not in a position to bear it at the moment.

And this level of formal magic... unless Saine wanted to destroy half of the Earl's Castle.

The other Wind Attribute spell, Song of the Great Wind, requires a low amount of Mental Strength, and in terms of power and performance, it is quite suitable for Saine in the current situation.
