As if examining a rare and precious artifact, Saine scrutinized the Nesser Civilization Construct Master before him.

Eyes that gleamed with a faint light seemed to coalesce into knives, slicing across Yuli's body.

It seemed as if they wanted to cut open her clothes and see through the mystery within.

Saine's blatant gaze startled Yuli, and a blush crept onto her face.

In fact, from many perspectives, the Nesser Civilization Creature and the humans of the Wizard World share commonalities and similarities.

As humanoid creatures, they seem to share some similar organs and characteristics.

After staring at Yuli for a long time, Saine finally sighed softly and did not rashly make a move on this precious "specimen".

Spoils of War worth at least two Level-2 Energy Crystal... Yuli is Saine's biggest gain so far in the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

A pale yellow ray of magic shot from Saine's fingertips as he pondered.

This magical ray is called Sleep Spell. The spell itself is not of high quality, but it is often very effective against creatures that have been rendered unable to fight.

In the Wizard World, when Mage conduct certain live experiments, they often use Sleep Spell and other methods to subdue the subjects to prevent them from struggling and causing trouble on the Laboratory Table.

The Construct Master of the Nesser Civilization are even weaker than the Mage of the Wizard World. After losing the outer layer of sturdy Constructed Magic Puppet, these Construct Master have almost no power to fight back.

A single Sleep Spell to put the female Construct Master to sleep caused her to collapse and lose consciousness instantly.

However, just to be on the safe side, Saine bound her with Magic Power chains and also fed her some Paralysis Potion commonly found in the laboratory.

"With such a weak physique, yet able to control Constructed Magic Puppet exceeding ten meters in size, and even more than one..."

"Perhaps the secret of the Nesser Civilization's Construct Master lies in the horns on their foreheads," Saine mused, looking at the unconscious Yuli at his feet and stroking the oval-shaped horn on her forehead.

Yuli was clearly asleep, but it seemed that the horn that Saine was stroking was the most private part of her body. She let out a soft moan, and her body temperature rose at a visible rate.

Her complexion, which had already faded, flushed red once more.

Yuli's change amused Saine.

The creatures of the Nesser Civilization were quite peculiar. Seeing that Yuli's chest seemed to have become more bulging, Saine stopped what he was doing.

A barely audible sigh then echoed in the laboratory.

After leaving the lab, Saine first went to the adjacent Cultivation Room to check on Little Seven.

Owl Little Qi was still curled up into a ball, but Little Seven seemed to have grown a little larger than when Saine left the Space Fortress.

Saine tried to call out to Little Seven with his Mental Strength, but could only get a vague response from Little Seven.

At this time, Little Seven should be in a critical period of qualitative change.

Looking at the wind-elemental Energy Crystal placed around Little Seven, most of their elemental energy had been lost, so Saine placed down many more Energy Crystal.

After leaving the Cultivation Room, looking at his injured left arm and feeling the pain and subtle tingling sensations throughout his body, Saine finally headed towards the Meditation Room.

Meditation is an excellent way for a Mage to restore their Mental Strength, and this method of restoration is better than simply taking Magic Potion.

Because Mage develop resistance to excessive Magic Potion, they must eventually choose other types of Magic Potion as substitutes once the resistance reaches a certain level.

Furthermore, almost every Mage knows that frequent use of Magic Potion will inevitably lead to the accumulation of potion residue in their bodies.

A small amount of medicine residue is not a big problem, but if it accumulates over time, it will harm the Mage ' bodies.

The generally weak physique of Mage in the Wizard World may be partly due to this.

Meditation, however, is a way to restore Mental Strength without any side effects. Moreover, after each major battle or long experiment, Mage immediately use meditation to recover, which also has a certain benefit on breaking through the total value of their Mental Strength.

Sitting cross-legged on the soft, comfortable magic carpet, before entering a meditative state, Saine suddenly recalled the Azure Fire Body Tempering Mysteries of his master Cuilisi. While improving the physique of Mage, it might also have a purifying effect on the residue of those residual potions.

With the nourishment of Magic Potion and the timely and appropriate treatment from Saine, Saine's body had almost fully recovered half a month after he returned to the Space Fortress.

Apart from his left arm, which is still difficult to use normally, the injuries on his chest and back have long since scabbed over.

Speaking of which, Saine is quite unique as a Mage.

Most of the Mage he had ever seen were fair-skinned, delicate-looking noble gentlemen.

Saine is also very handsome, but if you peel off his Magic Robe, you can see that Saine has many scars on his body.

Some scars may have healed, but they may still leave marks.

For example, the several noticeable marks on Saine's abdomen were left by him in the Yellow Sand World back then.

There were also some smaller and less distinct scars, dating back to his youth at the City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy.

After putting his black Magic Robe back on, Saine tidied his makeup slightly in front of the magic crystal mirror.

The magic crystal mirror in his room has some minor functions such as magnification, conduction, and illumination.

Compared to two weeks ago, Saine, whose injury has largely recovered, looks noticeably more energetic.

After staying in the room for a while, Saine pushed open the door and left, flying towards the middle level of the Space Fortress.

Just today, he received a message from Irene, a familiar Mage of the Azure Source Holy Tower, along with information about Johnny and other Mage Mage the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Irene is injured, and her injuries are more severe than Saine's.

Johnny the Mage was mostly unharmed, but Saine learned that dozens of Mage had perished in the Azure Source Holy Tower Poison Fire Green Flame World so far.

Considering the total number of Mage participating in the battle at the Azure Source Holy Tower, this casualty figure is definitely quite high.

Furthermore, its casualty rate is definitely higher than that of the other three Holy Tower.

This is because many of the Mage participating in the battle at the Azure Source Holy Tower are novices who are participating in Plane War for the first time, such as Saine and Irene.

There's nothing that can be done about it; war inevitably leads to casualties.

Every Mage in the Wizard World should prepare for the worst before participating in the Plane War.

In the recuperation and medical area of the middle level of the Space Fortress, Saine met the Mage Irene, who was wrapped up from head to toe, with only her fair shoulder exposed.

When they first met, Saine almost burst out laughing.

However, when he saw the two angry eyes of the Mage Irene beneath the White Bandage, Saine held back.

"I didn't expect your condition to be so serious. Is there anything I can help you with?" Saine looked Irene up and down before asking.
