After exchanging ideas with his mentor, Luluman, Saine benefited greatly.

He gained so much this time, some material and some knowledge and information.

These gains will require Saine to spend a considerable amount of time digesting them.

Before leaving, Saine also mentioned his hope to borrow books from Luluman's private library again.

"You have access to my private library; you can go there anytime you want."

"But don't wander around here... If you get hurt by one of my Experiment Specimen, I might not be able to save you in time."

Luluman nodded in agreement, but she still tried to scare Saine.

Most of the space on the top floor of the Holy Tower belongs to Luluman. There are some places that Saine can go to, but there are some places that he shouldn't disturb rashly.

For example, some private laboratories, Collection Room, and even areas where Luluman rests and lives.

Saine naturally understood what Luluman meant, and he assured her, "I will only go to your private library, mentor, and I will absolutely not wander in."

"Hehe, you can go to other places if you want. There aren't any particularly taboo areas here."

"Including the World Laboratory on the top floor of the Holy Tower, I might need your help with something in a while," Luluman said with a smile.

Luluman's words made Saine nod.

However, he then lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Mentor, I plan to leave the Holy Tower soon and travel throughout the Wizard World..."

"My original plan was to help you make a rough plan for traveling around the Wizard World when you are around two hundred years old," Luluman said in surprise.

In fact Luluman had already planned out a rough path for Saine's future growth, just like Cuilisi had planned a learning and growth plan for Luluman back then.

Having a good mentor can save you a lot of detours.

The fact that three of Cuilisi's disciples are also Holy Tower Master is enough to prove her outstanding ability in teaching students.

What Luluman said was naturally the most suitable development plan for Saine.

But Saine also had his own ideas.

Saine is 51 years old this year, making him the youngest among Level-1 Magician.

However, among ordinary humans and magic apprentices in the Wizard World, this age is already considered relatively old.

Saine couldn't guarantee that Lina would advance to the next level. Although he firmly believed that Lina had the potential and ability to become Formal Magician, what if...?

The sooner he travels to the Western Islands, the more he can alleviate the anxieties and obsessions that have haunted Saine for decades.

Saine didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life, so he had to make Choice.

The determination in Saine's eyes told Luluman that her disciple had made up his mind.

She wasn't a particularly controlling mentor. If it were her grandmaster Cuilisi, who appeared here, she might have forcibly interfered with and affected Saine's future learning plans, but Luluman wouldn't.

While providing some assistance to Saine, Luluman would prefer to see Saine develop and grow freely.

Every Mage is unique.

Perhaps the learning paths devised by the Holy Tower Master like Cuilisi Luluman are indeed the most rational and efficient, but that doesn't mean they have to be applicable to Saine.

The road is one you make by walking it yourself.

"Tell me when you're leaving, and I'll give you some more things," Luluman said to Saine.

"Yes," Saine replied respectfully, his eyes filled with genuine love and gratitude for Luluman.

"By the way, how's your travel itinerary planned? Where do you plan to go first?" Luluman asked, as if she had just remembered something.

"I plan to go to the Wizard World South Coast first," Saine replied.

"Huh?" Luluman was stunned when she heard this, her expression full of astonishment.

When Luluman was a first or Second-Level Magician, she traveled through the Wizard World, choosing a route that led north and east, roughly circling the Wizard World.

However, at this moment, Saine's initial direction was completely opposite to that of Luluman, so Luluman didn't have any good advice to give Saine for the time being.

The central and northern regions of the Wizard World Wizard World, north of the Azure Source Holy Tower, contain iconic areas such as Sky City, the Magic Empire Ebarute, and the Commercial Alliance Capecci.

Sky City needs no introduction; it is the supreme hall representing the magical elements of the Wizard World. The title of Arcanist above level three must be assessed there. It is said to be the place where about 80% of the Wizard World's Knowledge Inheritance is gathered, making it the most important place in the Wizard World.

The Magic Empire Ebarute is the most powerful ancient force in the Wizard World, with magical power being the strongest among all the top forces. Large Spellcaster forces such as the Flame Conclave are all "juniors" in front of the Ebarute Empire.

The Commercial Alliance Capecci, is actually the largest creditor of the basic loan to Luluman Holy Tower, which is also the largest Space Fortress, War Airship cluster, and heavy factory area in the Wizard World.

In terms of individual responsibilities, the Commercial Alliance Capecci even shoulders the duties of macro-controlling the economic development of the Wizard Alliance and promoting the issuance of Magic Coin.

These three major powers, regardless of which one, are clearly much more interesting than the Wizard World South Coast.

If Saine insists on going to the South Coast, then Luluman can only offer him two suggestions.

Alternatively, head east. In the south-central and southeastern regions of the Wizard World's Main Continent, there are two top Knight powers: the Beren Empire and the Desert Kingdom Jahana.

Both of these imperial powers have Overlord-level Knight in charge, and thousands of Knight and Mage level four or above, Flame Conclave.

Alternatively, one could head west, which could take one as far as the Mamet United Alliance and the City of Steel, both of which are also governed by True Spirit Dominator -level powerhouses.

Furthermore, between these two major forces lies the largest Magic Beast Forest in the Wizard World, which is said to be inhabited by powerful magical beast lords with Life Level as high as level five or six.

In her early years, Luluman had visited the Mamet United Alliance, but she didn't know much about the City of Steel.

It is said that the mechanics of the City of Steel are the most vibrant and dynamic emerging profession in the Wizard World in the last hundred thousand years. They also undertake the manufacture of nearly 30% of the Space Fortress and large-scale war machines in the Wizard World.

The Silver Armor Magic Puppet in Luluman's laboratory might fetch a good price once it's in the City of Steel.

Saine carefully noted down all of Luluman's suggestions.

As a Mage, he most likely wouldn't go to the Beren Empire or other powers. However, if he had enough time, he would probably visit the Mamet United Alliance to the west.

Saine did not tell Luluman his final destination was the Western Islands because he could not explain his original intention, and his mentor Luluman was likely to stop him.
