After the fierce battle, Saine leaned against the headboard and meditated to rest.

He had long discovered that his meditation efficiency would significantly improve after doing such things.

The Knight woman, covered in numerous red Red Scales, was also resting; she was much more tired than Saine.

After a long while, Saine opened his eyes and asked, "What's your name? ' Red Scales ' is just your nickname, isn't it?"

Red Scales's strength had almost recovered, but the woman was still lying comfortably on the bed.

Without even opening her eyes, Red Scales replied to Saine's question, "What's the point of knowing my name? Do you think you'll marry me?"

Red Scales's answer was very much in line with her fierce style.

This also indicates that she did not pursue the idea of pursuing Saine.

This woman is quite free-spirited.

"That's true. A name is just a label. Calling you Red Scales is quite nice," Saine nodded and said.

"I see your armor has been lightly enchanted, but your greatsword hasn't. Would you like me to upgrade it for you?" Saine then asked.

"Alright!" Red Scales's eyes, which had been closed, opened instantly.

After a brief two-day stay in the Giggson Duchy, Saine set off back to the Azure Source Holy Tower.

He traveled directly in a magic carriage; Red Scales and her group members didn't have such luxury. →

After contacting and communicating with them, Saine learned that their mercenary group would be going to the neighboring Olaf Empire in the second half of the year to take on jobs.

"Don't die, we might meet again in the future!" Before leaving, Saine slapped Red Scales's buttocks again.

Perhaps because she was a female Knight, Red Scales's buttocks were very full and firm.

Saine gradually became addicted to filming.

"Hmph, even if you die, I won't die." Red Scales snorted lightly, then turned and waved to Saine was about to board the magic carriage.

This woman was very uncomfortable with this atmosphere of parting, and this guy had even wanted to hire Saine to work for her mercenary group after graduating from the Holy Tower Academy for the incredibly low price of one thousand Gold Coin a year, but Saine refused.

As the magic carriage gradually disappeared into the distance, Red Scales's figure became increasingly blurry.

In the setting sun, only the weapon behind him, radiating a blazing red Element Power, was visible.

The giant sword was exceptionally conspicuous.

On his return to the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine experienced no further trouble.

The mission took the time expected by Saine. Although some unexpected events occurred, it was generally successful.

Upon returning to the Holy Tower Academy, Saine immediately went to the Mission Hall to submit his mission.

To his slight surprise, he didn't submit the task directly in the hall, but was instead led by the apprentice on duty to a room on the second floor of the Mission Hall. →

After taking Saine to the location, the apprentice left immediately.

Before Saine, a black-haired male Mage walked in.

"Are you the apprentice tasked with investigating this mutated magical beast?" the long-haired male Mage asked.

"Yes," Saine replied.

The Mage before us is no ordinary, Formal Magician.

This is another powerful Mage aura is comparable to that of Director Johnny, and should possess level two strength.

"An apprentice at the Quasi-Magician level, not bad."

"Tell me in detail what you encountered this time, and also give me the relevant mission materials," the Black-Haired Magician said.

So Saine recounted in detail what happened after entering the underground mines of the Salted Basin.

Saine didn't go into the details of those Combat Domain.

Presumably, a powerful Second-Level Magician wouldn't be interested in hearing about an apprentice's combat experiences.

While Saine recounted the mission, the Black-Haired Magician's main attention was focused on the fragments of the Lion Spider Beast's corpse and the monster's blood that Saine had taken out.

The Mage was quite professional, as he took out the relevant research equipment and an Element Microscope Saine had never had much contact with before, right in the room.

Saine's alchemy uses many experimental instruments, but notably does not include a microscope.

This type of Element Microscope is more suitable for Mage who study flesh magic or life modification.

Although the relevant courses were taught by Formal Magician at the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine only attended one or two classes before not pursuing them further.

Because the Formal Magician who taught the general courses talked about Plant Element- related modifications, a field that Saine was not interested in.

"Ho! It's actually one that's almost at the breakthrough level."

"A near- Quasi-Level Magical Beast at the Critical Point point. Apprentice, it seems your strength is quite impressive." As Saine recounted the mission, the Black-Haired Magician suddenly noticed something in the Element Microscope in front of him and looked up at Saine with considerable surprise.

Saine didn't say anything about it.

The Black-Haired Magician probably never expected that it was Saine who single-handedly killed this Critical Point -Quasi-Level Magical Beast on the verge of extinction.

He assumed that it was Saine, along with the mercenary Knight and soldiers from the Giggson Duchy, who had joined forces to kill him.

After Saine finished recounting all the mission details, the Black-Haired Magician frowned slightly and continued, "Think again, haven't you discovered anything else?"

"Especially regarding the origins of those demi-humans?"

"Also, were there any special magic runes in the Underground Space that Lion Spider Beast was located?" the Black-Haired Magician pressed.

Upon hearing this, Saine shook his head, but then suddenly remembered something and took out the black Divine Statue stone from his Space Ring.

The appearance of the black stone did indeed stir something in the Black-Haired Magician.

After carefully examining the stone that Saine handed him, the Black-Haired Magician, having roughly figured out the situation, waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. Just go to the hall to collect your quest reward."

Saine was also very curious about the origin of the black stone, but unfortunately the Second-Level Magician had no intention of explaining it to his apprentice.

After respectfully leaving the room, Saine went straight to the lobby on the first floor.

This time, in the lobby on the first floor, Saine indeed received his academy reward.

What surprised Saine a little was that the reward for this mission was three times the original amount.

In addition to the sixty Academy Points, Saine was also rewarded with three High-Level Energy Crystal.

Having received the three specially requested High-Level Energy Crystal, Saine exclaimed, "Not bad!"

This is already a relatively high-level mission reward. If this investigation mission had been advertised with such a high reward from the beginning, it probably wouldn't have been possible for Saine to carry it out; it would have been snatched up by those veterans who linger in the Mission Hall for years.

After receiving the mission reward, Saine headed straight for his dormitory.

During this underground mission, in actual combat, Saine gained new insights and understanding of the Sun's Eye Magic.

Now is the time to put our ideas into practice as soon as possible and test their feasibility.
