Before finalizing the expedition arrangements, Saine first holed himself up in the laboratory for a while.
He was mainly dealing with the Flame Law ore Gongsun Wudi had given him.
The profound Flame Element law power contained within this thing far surpassed the low-level plane hearts Saine had previously used to make the staff head, particularly in its amplification of fire magic.
It was merely an inlaying process, not a dismantling and reconstruction.
Saine did not remove the two plane hearts that had originally served as the staff head either. Instead, he used a certain alchemical method to make the two plane hearts into auxiliary components, replacing the staff head's primary amplification material with this enormous ore.
From refinement, to reinforcement, to inlaying, and finally shaping.
When Saine's "Staff of Ashes" was finally completed, he could not help but smile in satisfaction as he looked at the finished work before him—a magic staff with an enormous head, a heavy shaft, and spell-array patterns covering its surface.
Only a magic staff of this caliber suited Saine's current strength and realm.
And after the previous incident in which cracks had appeared in the staff shaft, Saine had deliberately reinforced his magic staff's hardness this time.
In other words, if Saine swung his magic staff around and went toe-to-toe with someone on the battlefield this time, there "probably" would not be any major problems.
When Saine left the Magic Tower laboratory, the Nation Protector Great Peace Princess Residence outside had already made all preparations for the expedition.
Gongsun Wudi did not appear in person. She was currently at the military camp.
However, through the maids within the Princess Manor, Wudi informed Saine that he could go directly to the Tiger Brave Army to find her.
