A Debt of Favor

Sylph's room, compared to Saine's, exuded a more distinct feminine warmth. →

The overall color scheme of the room was soft, and Saine noticed that the curtains in various parts of the room were drawn.

If it weren't for Saine's visit, Sylph would probably be resting.

A glass of orange juice was quickly served to Saine by Sylph.

The aroma of this juice was familiar to Saine; his Cousin Serena had also mixed it when he was an apprentice.

Smelling the fruity aroma from the Wizard World, Saine suddenly felt a strong urge to "home".

Home is a broad word; it can represent either the family to which Saine belongs— the Grant Family —or his residence in the Azure Source Holy Tower —where his Cousin Serena is still waiting for him.

It can also represent the little nest that Sain and Lina built during Saine's vulnerable period—as time went by, Saine's longing for Lina not only did not decrease, but deepened.

Just like a famous wine that has undergone sedimentation and fermentation, that feeling is even more unforgettable.

Picking up the juice handed to him by his senior sister Serena, Saine couldn't help but sigh, "Unbeknownst to us, it's been almost three years since we arrived in the Poison Fire Green Flame World."

"Yes, three years have already passed in the Poison Fire Green Flame World. It will probably be even longer before we leave the Wizard World," Sylph said, picking up a glass of green juice.

Because it took a considerable amount of time for Saine and his companions to travel from the Wizard World to the Poison Fire Green Flame World, Sylph said that. →

Especially when traversing ultra-long-distance interstellar Space Channel, the time consumed cannot be primarily determined by the subjective Time Flow Rate of individuals like Saine.

Given the level of magical alchemy in the Wizard World, the time required to traverse Space Channel shouldn't be too long now.

However, time will definitely be spent, which constantly reminds them that they are currently in Alien Star Region that is unknown how far away from the Wizarding Dimension.

"Do you miss the Mother Plane?" Sylph asked abruptly.

Upon hearing this, Saine nodded and said, "Hmm, I'm thinking about it. I wonder when the war will end."

"I originally thought you were a cold person who wasn't interested in anything, but I didn't expect you to have this side to you," Sylph said with a smile.

The emotion that Saine had just revealed was clearly carefully observed.

Sylph caught it.

Like Saine, she, who was participating in the Plane War for the first time, also missed her Mother Plane.

However, considering that at the very beginning of the war, when the sect of the Azure Flame Holy Tower Sect Gathering, their master Cuilisi, said that this war would be compressed into thirty years.

Although it may not last a full thirty years, the mere thought of thirty years is enough to weigh heavily on the minds of these youngsters who are participating in Plane War for the first time.

In fact, in these Plane War that can determine the ownership of an entire world, a war lasting thirty years is really nothing.

In some extremely difficult or strategically valuable worlds, the warring parties may be engaged in a conflict that lasts for centuries.

That was a protracted war that lower beings could hardly imagine. Only those powerful and well-established World Civilization in the Star Realm possessed such war-making capabilities.

After catching up with Sylph, Saine brought up the real reason for his visit.

Sylph's help wouldn't be for nothing; rather than owing someone a favor that might take an unknown amount of time to repay, Saine preferred to settle it now.

Several boxes of Metal Boxes, featuring distinctive craftsmanship characteristic of the Nesser Civilization, were tossed out of Saine's Space Ring.

These boxes are all very large, and judging from the dull thud they make when they are placed on the ground, they must be quite heavy.

Saine lifted the deck of one of the Metal Boxes, revealing rows of white Energy Crystal Blocks inside.

This box of Energy Crystal Blocks alone is quite valuable, not to mention that Saine brought out four boxes in total.

"Junior brother, what are you doing? This is too valuable!" Sylph frowned slightly, put down the juice in her hand, walked up to Saine and refused.

"We Mage generally adhere to the Principle of Equivalent Exchange, which is something my mentor taught me."

"These Energy Crystal are only half of the Spoils of War I obtained from the Magma Sea Bottom Construct Base. Senior Sister, you absolutely deserve to share them," Saine said.

The mentor that Saine was referring to was actually his previous mentor Moxidu.

Having experienced the treacherous world of his apprenticeship in Black Wizard Apprentice, Saine especially values friends who are good to him.

"I'm not helping you in exchange for anything," Sylph said, arms crossed, and this time she didn't refuse again.

It may be because

I heard the word "mentor" in Saine's words.

Saine's mentor is none other than the Azure Source Holy Tower Master.

"No matter what, without your help, Senior Sister, I would never have been able to reap so many Spoils of War in this battle."

"Besides these Energy Crystal, I believe you'll also be interested in this, Senior Sister," Saine said.

A large metal cylinder was taken out of the Space Ring by Saine. When the cylinder appeared, a slightly unpleasant, pungent smell wafted into the surrounding air.

However, this pungent smell was of great concern to Saine and Sylph, who possessed the Azure Fire Magic Mysteries.

Sylph couldn't help but step forward and look into the barrel.

"Huh? There's so much Azure Glaze, and it seems to be of extremely high purity?" Sylph exclaimed in surprise.

"That's right, this is also one of my gains in the construct base during this battle."

"Furthermore, I discovered that the Azure Glaze does not seem to be a naturally occurring mineral deposit in the Poison Fire Green Flame World."

"The appearance of this type of substance seems to be intricately linked to the Nesser Civilization..."

Saine then told Sylph about what he had seen and heard in the construct base, especially the details after discovering the Azure Glaze.

Sylph was also surprised and curious. Her somewhat drowsy mind was refreshed by Saine's eloquent talk, and she expressed her opinions on some of the ideas Saine proposed.

Saine spent a total of half a day at Sylph's place.

Sylph ultimately did not refuse Saine's generous gift. The Energy Crystal Blocks were secondary; Sylph cared more about was the Concentrated Green Glaze that Saine had brought.

As a disciple of the Azure Blaze Grandmaster, Sylph naturally also studied Azure Fire Magic.

Both of them had not gone far on the Azure Fire Path, so during their communication, they not only had a lot in common, but also had great reference value in terms of their research directions and achievements.

After the conversation, Saine himself benefited the most.

After leaving Sylph's residence, Saine glanced back at the closed door, knowing in his heart that he still owed Sylph a favor.

If Sylph were to ask him for help in the future, Saine would never be able to find an excuse to refuse.
