"How's your studies going lately? Do you have any questions?" Saine asked Serena, who was sitting next to him, during dinner.
In fact, once he reached the level of Formal Magician, the transformation of his physical constitution meant that Saine no longer needed to eat three meals a day.
Many Formal-Ranked Magician can work day and night for days, or even a month, and their bodies can withstand it.
However, Saine had just been promoted one level and hadn't changed many of his habits.
And enjoying delicious food is actually a way to enjoy life.
Although Saine is passionate about exploring the Truth and the Element Profound Truths, he does not torture himself; on the contrary, he often relaxes and enjoys himself.
While you're young, it's not a bad thing to enjoy yourself Dodo.
Take food as an example. If Saine lives for hundreds or thousands of years in the future, even the most delicious food will taste bland to him after eating it too much.
Sometimes there's no need to dream about things too far in the future; cherishing the present is what truly matters.
Saine's voice remained as steady and deep as ever.
In response to Saine's question, Serena put down her knife and fork and said, "My recent studies and research have been going quite smoothly, except that I'm still facing some bottlenecks in building the Spell Model for the Scorching Eye. I plan to go to the library in the next couple of days to take a look."
Serena is now a Advanced Magic Apprentice; she broke through to that level six months ago.
At her age, breaking through to the Advanced Apprentice puts her among the top students in the academy.
Serena's breakthrough was largely due to the resources provided by Saine and the guidance he gave her during meals.
Although Saine is her cousin, in some ways he can be considered Serena's mentor.
For example, the advanced Spell Model of the Scorching Eye that Serena recently researched and constructed is a weakened version of the advanced spell of the Sun's Eye Magic.
Unfortunately, the original Sun's Eye Magic is quite difficult to master, and Saine's improved version of Sun's Eye is even more beyond the reach of Serena, who has just been promoted to Advanced Apprentice.
Although the Scorching Eye spell is slightly less powerful than the original Sun's Eye, it is still considered one of the stronger spells among high-level spells.
In addition Serena has often assisted Saine in Alchemy Experiment over the years, and has also gained some knowledge of alchemy herself.
The Scorching Eye spell that Saine taught him, along with the Crimson Mask, a high-level magical artifact she now possesses, have a certain synergy.
Regarding Serena's answer,
En nodded, without making any further comment.
If Saine had enough time, he could have helped Serena improve her Spell Model and checked where she was hitting a bottleneck.
But Saine did not do that.
He was just Serena's cousin, not her nanny.
Even when he taught Serena the Scorching Eye spell, Saine only briefly explained and revealed the principles of the Scorching Eye spell and how to construct the basic Spell Model at the dinner table. →
As for the specifics of operation, that's something Serena will have to figure out herself.
On the path of Truth Exploration, you can't always have someone leading the way.
Furthermore, compared to the kind of cramming of knowledge, Saine prefers to let Serena grow through her own exploration and learning.
Saine was quite pleased to hear that Serena would go to the college library to look up the relevant knowledge she needed for her research.
In fact, Saine hasn't really helped Serena much over the years. The low- and mid-level magical materials that Serena uses are all low-end materials that Saine can no longer use at this stage.
Of course, it's also possible that as a Level-1 Magician, Saine was simply too wealthy to care about the gift of those magical materials.
Magical materials can be given away, but Academy Points cannot be given to Serena for free.
Unlike Saine, Serena wasn't so extravagant as to exchange Energy Crystal and Magic Coin for Academy Points points.
To ensure that her research and studies do not fall behind, Serena also has to frequently perform some academic tasks.
This is also a way of gaining experience.
"As you probably already know, next month, I will be traveling to another Alien Plane with my mentor and other Formal Magician of the Azure Source Holy Tower to wage war."
"This war may last for nearly thirty years. I hope that when I return, I will see you advance to the level of Quasi-Magician, or even Formal Magician," Saine said, looking at Serena.
"Clang!" The silver spoon fell from Serena's hand and hit the ground with a sharp, piercing sound.
She did know that Saine was about to leave, but she did not know that Saine would be gone for thirty years.
How old is Serena this year?
Thirty years is roughly Serena's entire life so far.
Serena couldn't imagine what it would be like to not see Saine for thirty years.
She had grown accustomed to Saine's presence and considered Saine her home.
people.
No, deep down, Serena may have already regarded Saine as someone even closer than family!
In fact, Selena is even lonelier than Sion.
At least Saine has a father, a half-brother, and a nephew.
But after her grandfather passed away, Serena's closest relative was her cousin, Saine.
As for the Ferrell Family, although Serena has quite a few relatives, it's best not to mention them.
She also said that she would not return to the Ferrell Family until she was promoted to Formal Magician.
Serena's fair hands trembled slightly as she lowered her head and picked up the silver spoon that had fallen under the table.
Serena's emotional outburst surprised Saine somewhat.
Of course, it's also possible that Saine had anticipated this in advance.
That's why he chose to bring it up with her in the last month.
Serena's long, loose hair obscured her facial expression.
Saine didn't dwell on the matter too much. After drinking the juice that Serena had mixed for him in one gulp, Saine got up to leave the table.
Before leaving, Saine turned around and added, "I've already told my mentor that even if we leave the Azure Source Holy Tower to fight in Alien Plane, floors 701 and 702 of the Holy Tower will still be open for you."
"I'll also leave you some Energy Crystal and Magic Coin later."
"If you encounter any insurmountable difficulties, you can go to the 662nd floor of the Holy Tower to find Green, or to the 259th floor of the Holy Tower to find Daniel, or to find Anna. They will all help you." After saying this, Saine left the restaurant.
night.
After a full day of Experimental Research, Saine lay down on his bed.
Recently, with the departure date approaching, and some of Saine's research and experiments reaching a crucial final stage, the situation has become increasingly complex.
Therefore, he felt somewhat tired, both mentally and physically.
"Poison Fire Green Flame World... is it Alien World similar to the Yellow Sand World?"
"According to my master, it's a completely regulated Alien Plane, with billions of native intelligent beings alone," Saine muttered to himself, leaning back on his pillow and staring at the ceiling.
As Saine fell into thought.
With a creak, the door, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened.
