Saine's trip back to the Lisia Alliance was intended to be a direct flight back home.

Another major difference between a formal-level Mage and a magic apprentice is that, thanks to their powerful Mental Strength and internal Magic Power, they can already manipulate gravity.

Even without learning Levitation Spell -like magic, a formal-level Mage can still possess the ability to fly.

Of course, if one learns magic such as Levitation Spell, the flight speed, altitude, and endurance of Formal-Ranked Magician will all be improved.

Higher-level flight magic suitable for formal-level Mage to learn includes: Flight Spell, Soaring Sky Spell, etc.

This type of magic is something that Saine has just broken through to the first level and hasn't had time to learn yet.

However, the Levitation Spell and the Mental Strength and Magic Power power of Formal Magician were enough for Saine to carry Serena back to the Lisia Alliance.

Not to mention, Saine also has Metal Discs and Warcraft Little Seven as his means of flight.

"Come on up." Outside the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine stood on Metal Discs and reached out to Serena.

The area of Metal Discs is large enough for two or three people to stand on.

Serena blushed slightly, but when Saine reached out, she still extended her hand and stood in front of the Metal Discs.

Because Serena's strength is low and she has not yet mastered the Levitation Spell, she is in a situation where she is almost in Saine's arms to prevent her from falling.

The scent of Saine wafting from all directions made Serena's face flush even more.

Saine himself didn't seem too unusual; before setting off, he even gave Serena some pointers on her training.

"Judging from your Mental Strength, it seems you are very close to breaking through to the Advanced Apprentice."

"Work hard as soon as possible. Advanced Apprentice is not your end. Only when you reach the Formal-Ranked Magician will it be a new beginning," Saine said.

"Yes!" Serena nodded emphatically.

Originally, Saine wanted to mention to Serena that after returning this time, he planned to move to the top floor of his mentor's Holy Tower.

But the words were on the tip of his tongue when Saine swallowed them back.

She has been living with Serena for several years in total, and this Cousin Serena has behaved very well in every aspect.

Especially in the areas of housework and cooking, she has won over Saine's taste.

The sudden separation will likely leave Serena feeling disappointed, and Saine will probably also find it difficult to adjust.

I wonder if my Saine can let me take on one more person.

Taking Serena to the top of the Holy Tower to study will definitely be beneficial to Serena.

However, it's likely that Saine will have to do some work with his mentor Luluman.

Under Saine's control, the Metal Discs "whooshed!" and flew towards the southwest horizon of the Azure Source Holy Tower, which was roughly the location of the Lisia Alliance.

Along with Saine, Owl Little Qi, who spreads its wings and takes flight, also sets off.

Because of the costless feeding by Saine, Little Seven has gained a lot of weight.

However, this does not affect its flight speed. →

As Saine and Little Seven's figures gradually disappeared into the horizon, Luluman, yawned as she walked out of her bedroom on the top floor of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

In fact, at Luluman's level, sleep is no longer a necessity.

However, some Mage still maintain this habit because sleep does indeed help restore Mental Strength.

Especially after a long and arduous experiment, a short rest is a very comfortable thing.

"Huh? Where's my apprentice?" Luluman looked at the empty room in surprise.

Until she saw the Magic Note that Saine had left on the table.

The lettering was undoubtedly left by Saine, and there was a faint layer of Fire Element fluid on the red lettering.

Such masterful manipulation of Element Power signifies that Saine has successfully advanced to become Formal Magician.

After reading the letter, Luluman muttered to herself, "Did he go home? Well, it's good that the little guy went home after becoming Formal Magician."

"Home? That's such a distant word." Luluman shook her head.

He then stretched and walked towards the laboratory.

"Although my mentor is a top-tier Level-6 Great Magician proficient in both fire and Plant Element magic, the magic he passed on to me is only Plant Element."

"I need to go through all those old fire Magic Books, otherwise I won't know how to teach my apprentice, Saine," Luluman muttered to herself as she walked toward the laboratory.

When Saine traveled from the Lisia Alliance to the Azure Source Holy Tower, he endured a long and arduous journey without a moment's rest, taking nearly half a year to arrive.

The entire journey from the Azure Source Holy Tower back to the Lisia Alliance took only two months.

The speed is nearly three times faster than before.

This was because they brought Serena along, and the two of them took a short break in the capitals of several prosperous human kingdoms along the way.

Otherwise, Saine would have returned to the Lisia Alliance much faster.

During his journey through many human kingdoms, Saine had determined that not all Formal Magician stayed in the Holy Tower.

Indeed, there are still a large number of beings at level one or above in the secular human realm.

For example, when passing through the Malgeria Kingdom, the Macedonia Empire, and the Gruni Kingdom, Saine received Mental Strength invitations from formal-level Mage and Knight.

Saine politely declined all the invitations, citing his need to travel.

In the other human kingdoms, although Saine did not receive any enthusiastic invitations, he could still sense traces of the Mental Strength sweeping over him by beings of official rank.

In particular, the capitals of those prosperous kingdoms are basically guarded by powerful figures of official rank, and there are more than one.

After crossing the last Volcano Cluster, Saine finally arrived in the territory of the Lisia Alliance.

Perhaps because this was Saine's hometown, Saine's mood inexplicably brightened after seeing the endless green plains in the central part of the Lisia Alliance.

Grant Territory.

Starting six months ago, the residents of Grant Territory entered a festive atmosphere.

This is not only because both last year and this year have seen favorable weather and abundant harvests.

Furthermore, this is because the Earl Grant reduced taxes by 70% across the entire territory under his jurisdiction this year.

In addition, the Earl's Castle has been distributing a lot of free farm tools and inexpensive small gifts to the public in recent months.

News of a renewed expansion of the guard force has spread throughout the cities of Grant Territory.

In fact, this is not unique to Grant Territory.

The entire Lisia Alliance, and even the surrounding human kingdoms such as the Sifa Kingdom and the Ok Empire, have experienced corresponding benefits and celebrations in the past six months.

This is a good thing that ordinary people might not encounter even once in hundreds of years.

The common people had no idea why the nobles were suddenly so kind, nor did they know that similar things were happening in neighboring territories or neighboring countries.

For the vast majority of ordinary human civilians in the Wizard World, protecting their few acres of land and their large families has been their only aspiration for decades.

If there is any chance to change one's fate and social class, there is basically only one: to join the army or run for the city lord's guard.

This means that these ordinary human civilians will have the opportunity to come into contact with the power of Battle Qi.

This is essentially the only way for them to transform and elevate their Life Level.

Many ordinary people don't see this point; the physical fitness test alone is enough to eliminate many people.

Furthermore, the path to advancement for commoner Knight is not so easy.
