Homeward Bound
Before my eyes lay a continent filled with pitch-black rocks; this was the East Continent of the Poison Fire Green Flame World.
In the sky, a figure in black robes flew slowly from a distance and eventually landed in a makeshift camp.
There was even a low Magic Tower, more than ten meters high, standing in the camp. The faint Elemental Light at the top of the tower warned the surrounding Flame Creature that this was not a place they could provoke or set foot in.
After the man in black robes descended from the sky, he lowered his black hood, revealing a handsome face with short, elegant blond hair.
Before long, three Mage flew out from the Magic Tower in the camp and finally appeared in front of the man in black robes.
The man in black robes before them was none other than the Level-1 Magician, Saine.
"Gugu!" A peculiar sound came from the sky.
A giant owl with a wingspan of over five meters descended from the sky and landed steadily on Saine's shoulder.
Even the size of owls quickly shrank to the size of a shoulder.
The majestic and aloof giant bird suddenly became somewhat adorable.
"Is the Mage Saine planning to return to the main base?" one of the three Mage who came to greet them asked.
"That's right, the fortress has approved my application to return to the Wizard World, and I will be returning to the Wizard World with the next batch of Mage," Saine replied calmly.
The three Mage in front of him were "companions" that Saine had met in the past six months.
Two of them came from the Azure Flame Holy Tower, and the other came from the Flame Sigh Holy Tower. →
After hearing Thain's answer, the three magicians all showed a hint of envy and emotion.
Having been away from the Wizard World for over a decade, these Mage are starting to miss home.
"Since the Mage Saine is about to leave our camp and embark on his journey back to the Wizard World, why don't we hold another trade fair today?" said another Mage who looked more mature.
"Good!" The suggestion from this Mage was echoed by the other two Mage.
"I'll go get the others," said the last Mage.
Whenever a Mage leaves this camp, especially after confirming their return to the Wizard World, this Mage camp located in the southern highlands of the East Continent holds a farewell trade fair.
Mage are generally reserved in expressing their emotions, and in the current environment, it is almost impossible to hold a farewell party for nobles.
A farewell trade fair where everyone gets what they want would be perfect.
Especially since Saine and the others were about to leave the Poison Fire Green Flame World, and would not be able to collect so many fire-type materials at low prices in the short term, most people were extremely generous in their spending.
At this time, apart from the Mage were out on missions, there were seventeen Mage remaining in the camp.
In the end, sixteen people came to participate in the trade fair. The only one who didn't come seemed to be busy with an experiment and couldn't spare the time to attend the trade fair.
Having spent so many years in the Poison Fire Green Flame World, Saine has amassed considerable wealth and accumulating considerable riches. →
Most of the other Mage in the camp are certainly not as wealthy as Saine, but they are still all well-off Mage with their own assets.
The benefits of Plane War are now fully apparent.
Not only did the Holy Tower and Mage of level four and above reap the rewards of an entire plane's resources and wealth, but even low-level Mage below level four also profited handsomely from the Plane War.
Only profit could drive so many Wizard Civilization from the Mage to cross the vast starfields and arrive at this Small World of Poison Fire Green Flame World.
The pre-departure trade fair for Saine was not crowded, but the overall atmosphere was quite enthusiastic.
This wasn't the first time Saine had participated in the trade fair. As his last move before leaving, Saine not only spent a large amount of Magic Coin to buy a large batch of fire-type materials, but also brought out quite a few good items to trade.
Saine's immense personal wealth attracted the attention of many Mage in the camp.
Even the only Second-Level Magician in the camp, Forkan, couldn't help but glance at Saine again.
However, recalling the rumor that Saine might be a disciple of the Azure Source Holy Tower Master, this Second-Level Magician from the Azure Flame Holy Tower was relieved.
The items that Saine is selling are Magic Conductor that he made in his spare time during the past two years while carrying out missions.
To this day, Saine's alchemy skills are slowly improving. Although he has not yet figured out the technical secrets of micro-carving the Azure Fire Power into Magic Conductor, he has made great progress in other areas of alchemy.
Some of the Magic Conductor that Saine sold were definitely top-quality items among first-class Magic Conductor.
Saine is not a Mage who only cares about spending money and doesn't know how to generate revenue.
His decent alchemy skills could also serve as another important source of income for Saine.
However, alchemy requires a considerable investment of resources and expenses, and without sufficient financial resources, one could easily go bankrupt.
Fortunately, Saine has a solid foundation.
The day after the trade fair ended, Saine bid farewell to several familiar Mage and then embarked on his journey back to the Space Fortress.
At this time, the Azure Flame Holy Tower Space Fortress was still located in the Magma Sea of Poison Fire Green Flame World. It would take Saine quite a while to travel from the East Continent to the Space Fortress.
Half a month later, at the Azure Flame Holy Tower Space Fortress.
Saine's return to the fortress is happening sooner than expected.
This was because Saine happened to encounter a War Airship that was returning to the Space Fortress on the way, so he hitched a ride.
In the upper levels of the Space Fortress, in the same room belonging to the Azure Source Holy Tower Master, Saine met his mentor Luluman.
"I didn't expect you to be back so soon. I thought I'd have to wait another half a month," Luluman said with a smile.
So Saine told everyone that he had hitched a ride on a War Airship. Of course, the real reason Saine returned to the Space Fortress so soon was that he also missed the Mother Plane and wanted to go back as soon as possible.
"The Cross-Star Territory Teleportation Array is located in the Fortress Operation Zone. Your Sixth Senior Uncle is there right now. You can just go there directly," Luluman said.
"Mentor, aren't you coming back to the Wizard World with us?" Saine couldn't help but ask.
Luluman shook her head and said, "I still have to stay in this world for a while, but don't worry, it won't be long."
"The laws of this world are not compatible with me. After I finish dealing with some matters at hand, I will return to the Wizard World."
"But your grandmaster and grandmaster uncles are likely to stay in this world for a very long time," Luluman said.
Saine nodded, and after talking with Luluman for a while, he took his leave.
The Fortress Operation Zone is located in the middle layer of the Space Fortress. When Saine arrived in this area, he was surprised to find that Sylph was also there.
Not only Sylph, but also two other Level-1 Magician Saine knew were also present here.
They were all disciples of the lineage of the Azure Blaze Grandmaster, one of whom was the grand-disciple of Saine Fifth Uncle-Master Andres, and the other was a disciple of the Sixth Uncle-Master Hoffs.
"Greetings, junior brother/ Martial Aunt!" The two Level-1 Magician greeted Sain upon seeing Saine.
Although Saine is not old, he is quite senior.
The Fifth Uncle-Master Andres, was clearly much older Saine, but he still had to call Saine his Martial Aunt.
After nodding to his two fellow Level-1 Magician in reply, Saine turned to look at Sylph, whom he was more familiar with.
Before Saine could ask, Sylph said with a smile, "I guessed you would be returning to the Wizard World soon, but I didn't expect you to be back after only a week."
