Preparations Before the War

Upon returning to the Azure Source Holy Tower, both their mentor Luluman, and the other Formal-Ranked Magician within the Holy Tower displayed a subtle sense of tension. →

Saine might not see his mentor for many days at a time.

I don't know exactly what my supervisor is busy with, but I occasionally overhear her muttering bits and pieces, which are probably about the World Laboratory.

As for the other Formal-Ranked Magician in the Holy Tower, they should have all learned from their mentors about the expedition to the Poison Fire Green Flame World two years later.

As a result, the atmosphere of the entire Holy Tower changed.

The vast majority of low-level apprentices had no idea what had happened.

Because the Formal Magician in the Holy Tower generally had solemn expressions, these junior apprentices also worked diligently in their daily lives, not daring to show the slightest laziness or slackness.

Meanwhile, some highly skilled Advanced Apprentice or Quasi-Magician, who have Formal-Ranked Magician as mentors, have also begun to eagerly prepare themselves for a breakthrough to a higher level as soon as possible.

Those Advanced Apprentice are probably out of luck, but many Quasi-Magician have just participated in the Regional Academy War may break through to the level of Formal Magician within the next ten years or so and then participate in the subsequent Plane War.

It is worth mentioning that the number of Formal Magician in the Azure Source Holy Tower is far more than five hundred, but has reached nearly a thousand.

The reason why Tower Master Luluman could only recruit five hundred Formal Magician to participate in the war was because many of the Formal Magician in the academy were not good at Plane War.

These Formal Magician are often referred to as "Academy Mage".

This means that these types of Mage are better at conducting research within the academy than fighting with others.

There are quite a few Mage of this type in the Wizard World.

After all, the Truth Exploration and the acquisition of knowledge are the original intentions of the vast majority of Mage who embark on the path of elements.

From this perspective, whether conducting research in the laboratory or seeking flashes of knowledge in Plane War, both are ways to explore the Truth Arcana.

However, compared to the former, the latter lags far behind in terms of the speed of resource acquisition.

Even a newly Formal Magician Saine needs so many resources and wealth for his experiments and his own cultivation.

Those veteran level one or higher powerhouses who have achieved the status of Formal Magician for many years require even more resources.

They should not be underestimated.

Conducting magical research is very expensive.

Magic Coin cannot be researched simply in a laboratory.

Only by participating in Plane War and demonstrating their power and contributions to the Wizard Civilization can they obtain sufficient rewards and benefits.

Of course, that doesn't mean Academy Mage are bad.

Everyone has their own ambitions; you can't force a research-oriented talent to become a combat-oriented talent.

Furthermore, research-oriented talents also have their place to shine and utilize their abilities.

For example, Saine recently learned that the most famous large-scale War Platform in the Wizard World — the Space Fortress —was developed and upgraded by the "Academy Mage" who conducted research in the Alchemy Laboratory.

In addition, Light Prism Fortress, War Airship, Individual Magic Energy Golem, Magic Conductor Cannon, and other such things are almost all areas of expertise for Academy Mage.

Every Formal Magician in the Wizard World has their place.

Like a screw in a giant ship that is moving forward with a roar, it plays its role in a specific position.

It was this discovery and realization that reminded Saine of the group of Formal Black Wizard in City of Mozhsuobula.

It seems that none of the official Black Magician in City of Mozhsuobula are not good at fighting?

Only overwhelming strength could prevent these vicious Black Magician from being bullied by other, more powerful Black Magician.

Furthermore, the generally unruly nature of the Black Magician community indicates that almost none of them are kind-hearted.

Indeed, just think about the environment in which those Black Wizard Apprentice at the Black Wizard Academy grew up.

How could an apprentice who grows up in such a dark and harsh environment not be skilled in combat and killing after he becomes Formal Magician?

After arriving at the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, Saine had repeatedly sighed inwardly at how peaceful and wonderful the learning environment was for these Holy Tower apprentices.

Every day, students are immersed in a sea of knowledge, and receive instruction from highly responsible Holy Tower instructors.

Compared to those Black Wizard Apprentice in City of Mozhsuobula, they are infinitely more fortunate!

For two years after returning to the Azure Source Holy Tower, mentor Luluman was nowhere to be found and was always busy.

Saine didn't rest either.

Since the Grandmaster said that the Poison Fire Green Flame World is of great benefit and fits well with the Azure Fire Magic knowledge system of their lineage,

Naturally, Saine's main research focus during this period was on learning about the Azure Fire Magic.

The goal is to maximize personal gain in the war in the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

In addition to studying and researching the Azure Fire Magic system in depth, Saine also made sure to strengthen his knowledge of the light and fire magic elements during this time.

Because of limited time and energy, Saine didn't learn any new or overly profound knowledge.

After mastering two new Spell Model, he also dealt with the Magic Conductor he could use in the Plane War.

Saine originally planned to make a Magic Conductor himself, but due to time constraints, this plan had to be put on hold.

The Magic Staff that Saine was using at this moment was the metal staff left to him by his previous mentor Moxidu.

As a top alchemist among Level-1 Magician, Moxidu's Magic Staff is definitely a rare find for Saine at this stage.

The metal Magic Staff contains three powerful formal spells. In addition, its enhancements to Mental Strength and Magic Power are many times greater than the one that Saine used before.

There's also the Metal Discs that provided Saine with considerable flight assistance during the Regional Academy War.

Inside Saine's Space Bracelet, there were also two Metal Discs that were not severely damaged.

In the last six months, Saine spent a great deal of time and effort and magical materials to finally repair the two Metal Discs.

The three Metal Discs are another major guarantee for Saine's participation in the Plane War.

In the past, Saine only used Metal Discs as a means of transportation.

However, Saine, who had witnessed Moxidu' battles, knew that these Metal Discs actually possessed considerable offensive and defensive characteristics.

"Actually, I've figured out the principles and manufacturing techniques of these Metal Discs quite well over the years."

"Alas, time is the biggest constraint."

"Given enough time, I could have prepared much more thoroughly!"

In the laboratory on the Holy Tower 717th Floor, with only one month left until the departure date, Saine couldn't help but sigh.
