After the apprenticeship ceremony ended, free from outside interference, Saine held a private discussion with his Second Apprentice.
Saine wanted to determine what Felin was most interested in, as well as roughly what level his mastery of Truth Arcana had reached.
Felin could also take this opportunity to seek Saine's guidance on certain questions.
Saine was neither the only magician in the Wizard World to take an alien creature as a disciple, nor would he be the last.
Many powerful knights and magicians, while traveling through the Star Realm, would always encounter a few promising talents and proceed to pass on their legacy to them.
The Wizard Civilization had never been a closed civilization.
It was precisely its exceptionally open and inclusive posture of civilizational expansion that had allowed such a colossal entity as the Wizard Alliance to exist.
Moreover, after developing to this point, it was no exaggeration to say that at least forty percent of the Wizard Civilization's formidable overall strength came from the Wizard Alliance.
Even now, that proportion continued to rise.
To magicians, the bond between master and disciple surpassed even ordinary blood relations.
What Saine needed to teach Felin was not merely magical truth, but also the inheritance of a certain will belonging to the Spellcaster community.
Respecting one's master and honoring the path was a virtue among Wizard World magicians.
Saine needed Felin to confirm that he would not betray the Wizard Civilization in the future, nor do anything harmful to it.
Should he commit such an act of betraying his master and forsaking his ancestors, Saine would personally clean house.
Felin accepted Saine's views with great trepidation and sincerity.
He was also willing to follow his mentor's will, advancing himself while helping the Wizard Civilization progress toward greater strength, prosperity, and flourishing!
