Living Specimens

Three months later, the second batch of participating Mage successfully returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower. →

The second batch of returning Mage who participated in the Holy Tower traveled in a Space Fortress that was said to be from a Holy Tower under the Northern Flame Conclave.

That Holy Tower must have had a significant relationship with Cuilisi, the grandmaster of Saine. Not only did it help the Celestial Holy Tower Magician return to their homeland free of charge, but after returning to the Wizard World, it also sent two airships to provide transportation for these Holy Tower Magician.

The two floating ships were a minor matter, but Saine vaguely saw the shadow of that Holy Tower, which seemed to want to befriend the Azure Source Holy Tower.

The commercial area surrounding the Azure Source Holy Tower's outer Chain Island has become even more bustling recently.

More and more Knight and Mage from the surrounding areas know that the Azure Source Holy Tower has just ended a Plane War.

Numerous airships, Knight, and Mage traveled from afar to the Azure Source Holy Tower, boosting its commercial prosperity.

"It seems that the Plane War has a greater impact on the development of a Holy Tower than we imagined," Saine mused.

Considering the recent measures taken by Master Archimedes, the Dean of the Holy Tower Academy, in the Trading District surrounding the Holy Tower, Saine's speculation was further amplified.

Serena had been looking forward to the return of the second batch of Mage to the Azure Source Holy Tower, because she had always been thinking about the "gift" that Saine had promised to give her.

No matter what it is, if it's a gift from Saine, Serena will cherish it and be very happy.

However, Serena didn't realize it until she saw Irene fly down from the airship and rush directly into Saine's arms.

This Cousin Serena, who was extremely gentle and obedient to Saine, suddenly fell silent.

Meanwhile, Mark, the Quasi-Magician, also appeared somewhat stiff, waiting outside the Azure Source Holy Tower to welcome Irene and the others back.

There is no taboo against marriage among Mage, and since Formal-Ranked Magician often have a lifespan of a thousand years, it is not uncommon for Mage who become husband and wife to have an age difference of several tens or hundreds of years.

The abbot of the Azure Source Holy Tower, Enpei Li, and his wife, Ms. Sarefin, seem to be nearly eight hundred years apart in age.

Therefore, there was no need to hide the special relationship between Saine and Irene within the Holy Tower.

Of course, as one of the parties involved, Saine was still somewhat unaccustomed to showing such intimate behavior with Irene in public.

It wasn't that he disliked Irene; it was simply because that was Saine's personality.

Just as Irene had described him, he was a reserved and steady Level-1 Magician.

Being with Saine might lack some romance and surprises, but he's a very reassuring man, which is why Irene chose Saine. →

Along with Irene, other resources and materials that Saine had acquired on the Plane Battlefield also returned to the Azure Source Holy Tower, mostly Living Specimen.

Among these Living Specimen, Saine gave Serena a palm-sized Fire Lizard.

Despite its unassuming appearance and tiny size, this Fire Lizard has already reached the quasi-level in terms of its Life Level.

A burst of Red Flame could suddenly erupt from its mouth, potentially causing even Formal Magician to suffer a minor setback.

This Fire Lizard is also one of the more precious Living Specimen collected by Saine.

Giving it to Serena also shows that Saine cares about Serena.

However, Serena's focus had clearly shifted to Irene, who was showing obvious intimacy with Saine.

Serena knows Irene; after all, it was Irene who helped Serena with her college admission procedures back then.

It seems a lot has happened in the more than ten years that Saine has been fighting in the Poison Fire Green Flame World.

Serena watched Saine and Irene walking in front of the crowd, without saying anything.

She wasn't a jealous woman, just a little heartbroken.

Besides Irene, who garnered Serena's intense attention, there was another Living Specimen among the many that Saine brought back that caught Serena's eye.

It was a "woman" locked in a cube-shaped glass dome, Serena probably guessed that it was not a human from the Wizard World.

Because of the oval-shaped horn on her forehead and the clothing she wears, she is significantly different from human women in the Wizard World.

Saine's humanoid specimen undoubtedly attracted the attention of many Mage and magic apprentices at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Even the Dean Archimedes and several Third-Level Great Magician, including Enpei Li, who had come to welcome Irene and the Mage back, looked at the cube-shaped glass dome with surprise. "It's actually a living Construct Master. It seems you've had quite a haul on the Poison Fire Green Flame World battlefield, Mage Saine," Dean Archimedes said as he walked up to Saine.

The old dean's eyes gleamed as he looked at the Construct Master. This highly respected senior dean was clearly also very envious of Saine's living Construct Master.

However, the dean did not express any interest in purchasing it, and neither did Saine mention that he would sell it.

However, Saine said that he had collected a lot of Nesser Civilization Creature as Living Specimen in the Poison Fire Green Flame World Battlefield, and he could give a few to the Dean later.

The dean nodded in response to Saine's offer and did not refuse.

The creatures of the Nesser Civilization are ordinary beings, not rare species.

At this moment, many ordinary creatures from the Nesser Civilization disembarked from the airship in order; they were all Spoils of War of war from these participating Mage.

Only Construct Master like those in Saine's hands can be considered rare.

Including the female Construct Master captured by Saine, the entire Azure Source Holy Tower has only captured two living Construct Master in this war. The other one was a Second-Level Magician's Spoils of War.

The Construct Master of the Nesser Civilization were quite spirited, and when Constructed Magic Puppet was severely damaged, the Construct Master inside could trigger a self-destruct program. Therefore, living Construct Master specimens are relatively rare.

There were quite a few remains of the dead Construct Master, which were mostly salvaged by Mage from the ruins of those magical puppets.

Some only have one arm, and some only have fragments of the body.

With his Spoils of War, Saine returned to the top of the Holy Tower.

The Mage Irene did not go to the top of the Holy Tower with Saine. She had her own residence inside the Holy Tower, and Irene had a considerable amount of miscellaneous Spoils of War and war profits.

She also needs to spend some time sorting out these findings.

"Tonight, will you come to me, or should I come to you?" Before parting, Irene leaned close to Saine and asked Mental Strength.

Saine's expression remained unchanged; he simply replied, "Either way is fine."

"Then I'll come find you. I haven't been to the Tower Master Area on the top floor of the Holy Tower yet!" Irene said.
