Crafty

The process by which his great-grandfather Ulysses introduced Saine to these Knight was actually Saine's process of expanding his network of connections. →

Despite his personality, Saine gives the impression of being low-key and indifferent.

Whether or not it was Saine's original intention, he has now gotten to know many high-level Mage and Knight above level one.

Personality factors will not affect Saine's judgment.

This is a Mage understands the pros and cons and is extremely good at assessing situations.

For example, at this moment, Saine clearly didn't like interacting with these rough-around-the-edges Level 1 Knight in an overly intimate manner.

However, Saine knew that befriending these Knight would benefit him and the Grant Family, so Saine patiently talked to them one by one.

Furthermore, not all Knight are as powerful and influential as Level-3 Knight Snapp, and they also understand the art of dialogue.

Many of the Knight spoke in a very crude manner. Through the secret Mental Strength transmission of his great-grandfather Ulysses beside him, Saine learned that of the more than two hundred Knight of the first rank or above who had personally visited him, nearly two-thirds of them were ordinary Knight who had risen from commoners.

Their ancestors were ordinary commoners who rose to become the first generation of nobles through fighting and battle, possessing Life Level as high as level one and a lifespan of nearly a thousand years.

Saine's great-grandfather, Ulysses, could also be called the first generation of nobles.

Despite his taciturn and well-mannered appearance, Saine's great-grandfather Ulysses was a nobleman.

In fact, by looking at what kind of creature his mount, the Reverse Feather Lion King, was, one could roughly know what kind of temperament his great-grandfather Ulysses was.

Some things are inherently unchangeable because they have become accustomed to their own style of doing things and principles.

Only powerful descendants of nobles like Old Grant and Jeremy are influenced by the aristocratic upbringing they developed from childhood.

Many Knight speak too bluntly. For example, one Level 1 Knight felt quite good about himself after talking with Saine, and he directly asked Saine if he could help him get his granddaughter to study at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

When Saine replied that he needed to comply with the Holy Tower's admission regulations and take an entrance test before a decision could be made, the Level 1 Knight didn't seem to care much.

Instead, he asked Saine another awkward question, "Can my granddaughter become your apprentice directly?"

"I know you Mage value lineage, and my granddaughter is very intelligent," the Level 1 Knight said bluntly.

This Level 1 Knight is also cunning. Saine is the disciple of the Azure Source Holy Tower Master. If his granddaughter becomes Saine's disciple, wouldn't she be the master's grand-disciple?

The other Level 1 Knight at the banquet were all talking among themselves, but they were also keeping an eye on what was happening Saine's side.

When the Level 1 Knight spoke, many people lowered their voices and looked Saine's side. →

Even the Level-3 Knight Snapp looked over, seemingly eager to see how Saine would respond.

The question posed by this Level 1 Knight named Rose caused Saine's lips to twitch slightly.

He had never even met the other party's granddaughter, nor did he know her age. He only knew her as "smart" from the other party's words. How could he blindly accept her as a disciple?

Saine flatly refused, saying, "I don't have any plans to take on apprentices at the moment."

"Alright." The Knight with a full beard sighed regretfully.

But then, his eyes darted around, and he suddenly asked, "Saine Mage, are you married?"

Saine: "..."

In conclusion, among the more than two hundred Knight invited to the banquet by his great-grandfather Ulysses and others, there were indeed a very few oddballs.

But overall, Saine felt that these people were actually quite easy to get along with and didn't have any bad Mind's Eye.

Saine also spoke briefly with a Level-2 Knight from his stepmother Lady Diya's family. The Level-2 Knight mentioned that the Sifa Kingdom also wanted to send some royal and noble children to study at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

The Sifa Kingdom seems to extend beyond the territory of the Azure Source Holy Tower, yet it also seems to remain within it.

Saine had no involvement in the recruitment of students for the Holy Tower, but his trip back to the Lisia Alliance unexpectedly generated so much business for the recruitment of apprentices for the Azure Source Holy Tower.

One reason for this is that this place was originally located on the edge of the territory controlled by the Azure Source Holy Tower, and was not the main area where the Holy Tower recruited apprentices in previous years.

On the other hand, these Knight had probably also heard that the Azure Source Holy Tower had just ended a Plane War.

Don't underestimate the Knight.

Like that Level 1 Knight named Rose, although he appears to be a straightforward and simple-minded old man, he actually thinks quite a lot.

After getting to know all the Knight, Saine finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the castle to rest. The energetic Knight were still eating and drinking on the lawn; unlike Mage, they didn't need to focus on the pursuit of knowledge and Truth in the laboratory.

From some perspectives, Knight do indeed live a more comfortable life than Mage.

Compared to the Truth Mysteries they cannot comprehend, Knight in the Wizard World generally prioritize pleasure before war arrives.

Of course, this also resulted in the status of Knight in the Wizard World remaining somewhat different from that of Mage, regardless of how many changes they went through.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow.

Mage in the Wizard World pay a higher price and wield greater power.

Furthermore, in many ways, such as resources, rights, and the right to speak, the Knight are hampered.

Therefore, the Wizard World has always been the Wizard World, and has never become the Knight World.

According to the principle of supply and demand, Level-1 Magician can have an equal dialogue with Level-2 Knight.

Because Level-1 Magician can create potions, equipment, and other items that Level-2 Knight desperately need.

However, the Level-2 Knight can only help these Mage in the field of raw materials by virtue of their great power; they cannot form a monopoly.

Yes, a "monopoly"!

Think about everything in the Wizard World, from Space Fortress and War Airship to the more basic floating ships, and almost all alchemical Magic Conductor Magic Potion.

It seems that everything was done by the Mage, and the Knight were just enjoying what was readily available!

This monopolistic situation has further strengthened the voice of the Mage community in the Wizard World.

So much so that even though the Wizard World has many incredibly powerful Knight overlords, and several of them are no less powerful than the most powerful True Spirit Magician in the Wizard World.

However, in many major decision-making areas, Mage still hold a dominant position.

As a member of the privileged class, Saine clearly felt the difference between the Knight and the Mage.

However, he has not yet cooperated with these Knight in the Plane War, so he is not yet clear on how the Knight and Mage interact during the war.

It seems that one of the main responsibilities of the Knight Legion is to protect the Magician Legion in order to ensure the Magician Legion's advantage in long-range bombardment against hostile creatures.
