Kindred

"Going back? Where are you going back to?" The Giant Turtle had just saved his life, and its words and aura conveyed a sense of closeness, so Saine couldn't resist asking. →

This more casual way of talking can actually increase the sense of harmony between the two parties.

"Back to the Western Islands, what's wrong?" The Giant Turtle answered bluntly, whether it was genuinely harmless or just a bit simple-minded.

Saine was taken aback upon hearing this, but his face quickly lit up with joy.

Saine then said, "I happen to be going to the Western Islands as well. Would it be possible for us to travel together?"

Faced with Saine's invitation, the Giant Turtle glanced at him with its round, dark eyes before replying, "Of course, and you don't need to be so reserved. You're making me feel a little uncomfortable."

Mage are typically reclusive individuals who spend most of their time in laboratories, but Saine is even more of a "recluse" than the average Mage.

But no matter how much of a homebody Saine was, he was still Great Witch for this Giant Turtle.

The other party claimed to have helped the Summer Guardian suppress the Sea Eye for a thousand years, but in reality, they probably slept in this sea area for a thousand years.

The Giant Turtle gave Saine a friendly feeling, and unlike Master Midiqi, it wasn't good at socializing.

Speaking frankly is his style.

Of course, it's also possible that it's so powerful that it doesn't need to be polite with anyone.

"Thank you very much!" Saine said again.

"You can call me Bixi," the Giant Turtle said.

It was a strange name, but Saine remembered it.

With such a Giant Turtle by his side, Saine's journey to the Western Islands will undoubtedly be much smoother and safer.

And judging from the situation, this Giant Turtle's home is actually in the Western Islands?

The environment in which the Giant Turtle lived was certainly not the Black Domain in the northern part of the Western Islands, but rather the vast southern region.

The Western Islands are a unique region in the Wizard World, although the Black Domain there is notorious.

However, in terms of both territory and influence, the vast southern region of the Western Islands is far more famous than the Black Domain, and it is also more important in the Wizard World.

The homeland of Saine's mentor, Moxidu, is Thousand Leaf Coral Island, located in the central part of the Western Islands. Judging from the map alone, it does not actually belong to the Black Domain.

As for why Moxidu eventually became a Black Magician, that's beyond Saine's comprehension; it's probably related to Moxidu's early experiences.

Having such a Giant Turtle as a companion, and getting along well with it.

Whether on the way to the Western Islands or after arriving Western Islands, you will benefit immensely.

Saine then asked, "Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you?"

Saine's question was not only an attempt to solve the unknown, but also an attempt to bring them closer together.

Don't assume that just because Saine doesn't like socializing, he's incapable of it.

Because of his somewhat aloof personality, Saine is better at gauging the situation than most people, and at least he won't say the wrong thing.

When Saine's father, Kelman Grant, was promoted to the first rank, his great-grandfathers Ulysses and Jeremy, invited a large number of first and Level-2 Knight Knights' Hall Knights to be their guests.

Didn't Saine manage to socialize quite well back then?

Therefore, the issue is not whether Saine can do it, but whether he is willing to do it.

"This is because we all belong to the same type of life form, individuals who are specially favored by the Wizard World Will," the Giant Turtle said, shaking its head as if it knew a lot.

"Of course, I have more Plane Source Power within me, which comes from the contributions I and my family have made to the Wizard World."

"Your strength is a bit low, but I find you quite pleasing to the eye. Don't worry, I'll protect you from now on," the Giant Turtle said generously.

Before he could even speak, the Giant Turtle offered to protect Saine.

Such a good thing is truly hard to find even with a lantern.

Saine was naturally very excited by the Giant Turtle's kindness.

It's a pity he didn't know what the Giant Turtle's hobbies were, otherwise he could have catered to them and deepened their relationship.

The surrounding storm and ocean waves had long since disappeared.

Golden sunlight shone from the west, giving people a warm and cozy feeling.

It is now evening.

This enormous Giant Turtle, with its astonishing size, clearly possesses the power to control the wind, rain, and the sea.

This kind of power is beyond Saine's current comprehension and understanding. It is estimated that he will only have the opportunity to access similar methods when he advances to level three or above.

After a busy period of time, Saine treated the injuries of himself, Yuli, and Little Seven.

The giant sea Giant Turtle named Bixi offered to help them, but Saine declined.

Saine was not a Mage who didn't know when to back down. This Giant Turtle had already helped them a lot, so how could they ask for more?

Furthermore, Saine's refusal actually signifies his greater ambition.

It would be a waste for Saine to use the affection the Giant Turtle has shown him to heal his injuries!

If he were to actually speak up, Saine would definitely make a higher-level request in order to diminish the Giant Turtle's goodwill towards him.

Saine's polite refusal made the Giant Turtle, who had spent most of its life at the bottom of the ocean, feel somewhat guilty.

Then it opened its mouth and said, "The few Silver Silk Spirit Apricot on my back were given to me by my elder brother last time. They've been planted for quite a few years. You can go and pick some fruit."

"It should be good for your recovery."

This time, Saine did not refuse the Giant Turtle's offer.

Or rather, Saine was reluctant to refuse.

Before the battle even began, Saine and the Black Magician had already noticed the strange and special nature of the rare plants on the Giant Turtle's back that resembled coconut trees.

After thanking the Giant Turtle, Saine flew to the plants and picked seven fruits.

In fact, Saine did not intend to eat these seven fruits directly; he would first need to study their medicinal properties and components.

Including Saine's thought, his mentor Luluman, possessed extraordinary abilities in plant cultivation and had also established a large-scale plant cultivation base such as the World Laboratory.

I wonder if these fruits, if given to Luluman, can be directly planted into something.

Besides the seven special fruits that the Giant Turtle called "Silver Silk Spirit Apricot" as an unexpected gain, Saine did not forget the Second-Level Black Magician who was shoved into the sea by the Giant Turtle.

This level -Second-Level Black Magician was, of course, dead beyond any doubt.

The Elemental True Body ability that Second-Level Magician is so proud of is utterly insignificant in the face of the Giant Turtle's magnificent power and oppressive aura.

It was also from the Giant Turtle that Saine saw another drawback of the Elemental True Body ability.

It turns out that the Elemental True Body ability of Second-Level Magician doesn't completely negate physical damage; it simply means that they generally don't withstand enough physical damage...

If a being of the size and immense power of Giant Turtle were to strike with such force, even Second-Level Magician would likely be unable to withstand its blows, let alone a level Level-3 Magician.
