Premonition of Crisis

The Scarlet Holy Tower's sphere of influence is mainly concentrated in the northern, inland region. →

This is because in the ocean south of the Scarlet Holy Tower, and among many islands in the South Sea, there exists another force— the Earth Sword Knights' Hall.

The Earth Sword Knights' Hall, located on the South Coast of the Wizard World, is a renowned and powerful Knights' Hall.

It is said that the master of the Earth Sword Knights' Hall possesses level five strength.

The Earth Sword Knights' Hall was also the organization that contributed the most when cooperating with the Dawn Holy Tower in the operation to eliminate Black Magician in the Davier Region.

If Saine remembers correctly, the Level-2 Knight Bakda, who gave Saine certain preferential treatment back in the Underground World, also came from there.

In Saine's memory, his impression of Bakda was limited to his shiny bald head and his heavy silver full-body armor.

Furthermore, Bakda was a commoner Knight, and in terms of status and background, he was similar to Saine's great-grandfather, Ulysses.

However, the Bakda Duchy Bakda, where Bakda was located at this time, was situated on a relatively remote island in the Endless South Sea.

Furthermore, judging from the name of the principality, it is likely that the Level-2 Knight Bakda was the founder of this small principality.

A duchy typically founded by Level-2 Knight has a total population of no more than 300,000, making it a tiny duchy in the Wizard World.

This also suggests that the island where Bakda is located is some remote, secluded Li Island in the Endless South Sea.

If Saine has nothing else to do, he wouldn't mind paying a visit to the Level-2 Knight Bakda.

However, with his schedule already fully booked, Saine had no choice but to give up for the time being and wait for another opportunity to thank the Level-2 Knight in person for his help.

Following the sphere of influence of the Scarlet Holy Tower, Saine traveled westward.

After all, it is a Holy Tower that has been built for thousands of years. Although the Scarlet Holy Tower is not as developed as the Dawn Holy Tower, it is still considered to be in the middle to upper ranks among the Holy Tower built by Level-4 Magician.

Within the Scarlet Holy Tower lies two extremely prosperous mega-cities, one in the east and one in the west, each with its own Floating Skyport and Teleportation Array.

After traveling day and night for a period of time, Saine still chose to use the Teleportation Array array to shorten the time he spent on the journey.

While the customs and traditions of people and places along the Wizard World South Coast vary slightly, they are generally quite similar.

Since Saine has already been exploring the Dawn Holy Tower's territory for quite some time, there's no need for him to waste any more time Saine's side the Scarlet Holy Tower.

Of course, another more important reason why Saine was in such a hurry to get on his way was that he had a bad feeling about it.

Saine had a hard time figuring out where this premonition came from.

He even regretted not seeking out some occult knowledge to study carefully when he was at the Azure Source Holy Tower. →

Even if the Azure Source Holy Tower doesn't have Mage with outstanding achievements in the field of mysticism, I believe that the mentor, Luluman's, private library should contain many books and records on the subject.

Learning has no end, and among Level-1 Magician, Saine is considered an exceptionally diligent and hardworking individual.

But even now, he still feels his own insignificance and ignorance.

After spending a sum of Magic Coin, Saine arrived at City of Sony, a giant city in the western part of the Scarlet Holy Tower's territory.

Stepping out of the Teleportation Array and looking at the Teleportation Light Gate behind him, shrouded in Magic Power light, Saine couldn't help but marvel at the convenience of magic.

"Perhaps the Azure Source Holy Tower should also establish a related Teleportation Array as soon as possible. I wonder if our mentor has any such plans."

"The appearance of the Teleportation Array will greatly increase the siphon effect on free Mage in the surrounding areas, and will also promote the prosperity and development within the Holy Tower's sphere of influence."

"However, as far as I know, there don't seem to be any extremely prosperous mega-cities around the Azure Source Holy Tower."

"There are a few capital cities of human kingdoms that have great potential for development," Saine said, stroking his chin as his thoughts wandered.

After leaving City of Sony, Saine continued westward.

Next, before him lay a large, primeval Magic Beast Forest called "Maywesson".

This is the largest Magic Beast Forest Saine is about to pass through so far.

According to the records on the Magic Map, this Magic Beast Forest is very likely inhabited by a powerful King of Magic Beasts Life Level has reached level four.

This Magic Beast Forest is located at the border of the Scarlet Holy Tower and the Hurricane Holy Tower.

Hurricane Holy Tower will also be the last stop on Saine's trip to the South Coast.

Once Saine leaves the area under the influence of Hurricane Holy Tower, it will also mark Saine departure from the South Coast region marked on the Wizard World map. Continuing westward, traversing the highest mountain range on the southern coast of the Wizard Continent — the Qierqisi Mountain Range —and several large Magic Beast Forest comparable in size to Maywesson Forest, Saine will reach one of the Wizard World's most renowned and powerful factions— the Mamet United Alliance.

That place is the southwestern center of the Main Continent the Wizard World.

Although the City of Steel has also developed rapidly over the past 100,000 years, it is still far behind established powers like the Mamet United Alliance.

Even the Flame Conclave, which includes the ancestral Cuilisi of Saine, is not on the same level as the Mamet United Alliance.

The difference between the two is not only reflected in the quantity and quality of organisms below level four, but also in the quantity and quality of organisms below level seven.

Including those with combat power of level seven and above, the terrifying presence of the Mamet United Alliance firmly occupies a leading position among the major powers in the Wizard World.

The Maywesson Forest is vast, and because there are no Teleportation Array arrays, there aren't even any decent roads for people to travel on.

Therefore, it took Saine nearly two months to fly away from Maywesson Forest and arrive in the territory of Hurricane Holy Tower.

For Mage like Saine, the vast forest is also a treasure trove containing countless values and riches.

Although Saine had been mainly traveling for the past two months, he had also collected quite a few magical materials that he had never seen before.

The intelligence possessed by Level Magical Beast rank one and above is no less than that of humans.

Since Saine had been using the established public passageways for the past two months, no ignorant monsters had dared to offend him.

In fact, Saine was quite interested in trading with a few first- or second-tier magical beasts that possessed considerable intelligence. After all, as local tyrants in the Magic Beast Forest, these magical beast lords must have a lot of good stuff in their possession.

But intuitively, that faint sense of crisis made Saine abandon his plan to waste time.

Where exactly does this crisis come from?

It seems that Saine has had this feeling ever since he photographed those three Soul Slave in City of Munich.

As Saine moved further and further away from the West Coast, the sense of crisis did indeed diminish considerably.

He shook his head to dispel the doubts in his mind.

After entering the territory of Hurricane Holy Tower, Saine flew towards the Magilite City, which had Space Teleportation Array.
