The information about the Black Domain that the three Soul Slave brought to Saine was extremely geographically limited. →

Because these three little creatures were at such a low Life Level, they had never even left the island where they lived.

However, by examining the details presented by these three children, Saine was able to form a general guess and judgment about the basic situation of the Black Domain.

In particular, Saine had never stopped collecting intelligence on the Black Domain over the years. After extracting all the information he knew from the three Soul Slave in front of him, Saine's face became extremely solemn.

No one could understand the somber mood that Saine was feeling.

After a long while, looking at the dim sky outside the cave, Saine suddenly said, "We should go."

Owl Little Qi Gugu twice, then flew back to Saine's shoulder and stood quietly.

A glint flashed in the eyes of the Construct Master Yuli, but she still summoned her Magic Puppet Mecha and stood firmly behind Saine.

"Master, would you please take me with you?"

"Besides having some training in alchemy, I can fulfill any of your requests!" On the experimental table, a female Black Wizard Apprentice dressed in tattered and somewhat revealing clothes pleaded excitedly with Saine.

This female Black Wizard Apprentice is probably no older than thirty, possesses the strength of Advanced Apprentice, and can be considered a minor genius in the Holy Tower.

More than two-thirds of the information about the Black Domain that Saine obtained from them was provided by the Advanced Female Apprentice in front of him. →

The female apprentice knew her strengths and was also adept at understanding Saine's temperament.

To be honest, if Saine were a Black Magician, or an ordinary Mage with a weak will, he might actually have let this female apprentice go.

but...

He glanced coldly and almost ruthlessly at the female apprentice on the Laboratory Table in front of him. Her value to Saine had essentially vanished from the moment she revealed all the information about the Black Domain.

To Saine, the other man's good physique and appearance were no different from a lump of white meat.

Saine is past the age of being impulsive. He's in his fifties now and has seen it all.

For Saine now, if he wants to resolve his sudden desires, in addition to the other person having a certain appearance, emotional connection is also very important.

For example, the one-night stand with his old friend Merri at the Dawn Holy Tower. Without any hesitation, he turned and left, quickly tidying up the experimental equipment in the cave Saine arriving outside.

It was already dark outside; it was nighttime.

The three Soul Slave inside the cave are still Burdens by Wind Chains, preventing them from being free.

The Wind Chains, personally applied by the Level Magical Beast Little Seven, would be difficult for even Quasi-Magician to break free from, let alone the three of them who were only intermediate or Advanced Apprentice.

"Let's get started," Saine instructed Yuli beside him.

Behind Yuli, a metal golem, about seven or eight meters tall and grayish-white in color, was suspended.

The surface of this puppet has many noticeable patches.

Compared to the Flame Mark Constructed Magic Puppet, the overall strength of this Gray-White Constructed Magic Puppet is only comparable to that of Quasi-Magician.

However, because Yuli upgraded its shoulder cannon, its power level in a short burst is barely at level one.

However, in other aspects, such as speed, vitality, and endurance, it is absolutely incomparable to a first-level creature.

For such a common, standard-issue puppet, Yuli doesn't even need to enter it to drive it; she can simply use her Mental Strength to remotely control it.

Saine has also studied many Nesser Civilization Creature, including Yuli herself, who was stripped naked and studied by Saine multiple times.

He discovered that the unique mental abilities of the Nesser Civilization's Construct Master were closely related to the oval-shaped horns on their foreheads.

At Saine's command, a black cylindrical cannon on the shoulder of the gray-white metal golem flashed with white light.

After gathering energy for about three seconds, a white beam of light was emitted and instantly engulfed half of the mountain in front of it.

A deafening roar followed as boulders tumbled down and the mountainside collapsed.

The extraordinary power possessed by beings at the first-level power level is unimaginably strong for those below the first level.

The difference in the Life Level is something that most organisms cannot overcome.

The tilt of the mountain signifies that everything that has happened here will become a thing of the past.

The cave was completely buried, with no trace of its existence.

Saine casually cast a detection spell, and after confirming that the three life signals had been extinguished, Saine turned and left.

Owl Little Qi stood silently on Saine's shoulder the whole time. Both of them came from the Underground World, and Little Seven's understanding of Black Magician was much deeper than that of ordinary Holy Tower Magician.

Construct Master Yuli also put away her Constructed Magic Puppet and followed behind Saine.

After doing all this, Yuli seemed to have something to say, her brows furrowing slightly.

She opened her mouth, but finally mustered her courage and asked in a low voice, "Master, I am also your Soul Slave. Will you abandon me in the future?"

This issue seems to be very important to Yuli.

She is still somewhat afraid of Saine, not because of the constraints of Soul Magic, but because of the indifference and confinement Saine unintentionally inflicted on her back then.

Seeing Yuli's somewhat hesitant gaze, Saine turned to look at her and said, "No."

Although Saine did not explain the reason.

It's also possible that Saine was just giving a perfunctory answer.

But after hearing Saine's answer, Yuli seemed to truly believe it and let out a deep sigh of relief.

The two people and the beast flew towards the edge of the jungle to the west.

Under the cover of night, the stars twinkled.

Just as they were about to fly away from the low jungle, Saine said, seemingly casually, yet as if explaining to Yuli, "Because you still have value to me."

Saine's answer revealed the coldness and ruthlessness of a rational Mage.

But this coldness and ruthlessness made Yuli's face blush slightly.

She was now completely convinced that Saine would not abandon her.

In order to stay by Saine's side for longer, she must constantly prove her worth and continue to grow.

The Ji Ge'mu Plain vast. Even though Saine was already in the border area of Dawn Holy Tower's influence, it took him almost a month to completely leave the Dawn Holy Tower's territory and arrive at the area of Scarlet Holy Tower in the west.

The fact that the South Coast of the Wizard World is more prosperous than Green Source Land is probably related to its topography.

The vast majority of the land consists of plains and low hills, which means that the number of people living at the bottom of society and their reproductive capacity far exceed those of the Green Source Land.

Saine has always firmly believed that the prosperity and strength of the superstructure cannot be separated from the support of the lower classes.

Even Knight and Mage of the first rank or higher were originally evolved from ordinary humans.
