"So what kind of strength does your Fourth Brother possess?" Saine asked, lying on Bixi's back. →

He has already discovered that when dealing with Bixi, one cannot be too roundabout.

Because Bixi may not understand.

Instead of trying to hide it, it's better to just ask directly.

As expected, Bixi was not wary of Saine's question and answered directly, "Fourth Brother is not as strong as Third Sister. I saw him when I was a child, and he was beaten up by Third Sister once."

"But Fourth Brother is already an adult. Third Sister once said that Fourth Brother is very troublesome." Bixi shook its head and said, probably not quite understanding what its sister meant by "troublesome".

Nodding thoughtfully, Saine did not ask too many questions about Bixi's family affairs.

Bixi is indeed simple and straightforward, but don't treat it like a complete fool.

Some particularly deep secrets and family matters were not discussed by Saine.

For example, up to now, Saine has not inquired about Bixi's parents.

Saine didn't actually talk much about his older brothers and sisters either.

The true friend of Saine was Bixi, not its parents and siblings.

Furthermore, given the formidable strength of the other members of Bixi's family... it's unlikely that anyone would take a Level-1 Magician seriously.

They probably just think that Saine, who is only at level one, is Bixi's pet or playmate.

As long as Saine doesn't endanger Bixi, its family probably won't do anything to Saine. →

After rolling over on the soft, comfortable lawn, Saine suddenly asked Bixi, "Why don't you come visit Green Source Land sometime?"

"There is a Jewel Sea around the Azure Source Holy Tower; I believe you will like it there."

Bixi has heard quite a few stories from Saine lately.

The vast majority of the stories were Alien Plane that Saine had read in books, while some stories originated from Saine himself, especially his experiences at the Azure Source Holy Tower.

After all, before this, Saine had never left the Green Source Land region, and he only knew about the situation there.

Of course, Saine picked out some interesting and fun things to tell Bixi, so when she heard Saine's invitation, a hint of interest appeared in Bixi's round eyes.

Of course, things like being interesting or fun probably don't have much of an impact on Bixi. As long as there's a suitable place to sleep, Bixi can easily sleep with its head covered for decades.

With its pleasant scenery, expansive waters, and warm sunshine, Jewel Sea is clearly a great vacation destination.

However, Saine had never heard of any major shipping route connecting the Jewel Sea to it, so it would probably not be easy for Bixi to migrate there.

Bixi did not immediately respond to Saine's kind invitation.

This is an honest and simple Dragon Turtle; it won't make promises lightly.

He simply said, "I need to go back to the Western Islands first to see my parents and sister."

"If they agree, I can go and take a look at the place you mentioned."

Well, Bixi's principles of conduct are still stuck in the stage of listening to her parents and siblings.

Saine didn't say anything more, he just nodded.

The Mamet United Alliance was exceptionally powerful and prosperous, as were the scenery and cities along its route.

On this day, after arriving at a port city called Jimos, Saine asked Bixi to remain in the river and wait for him.

Saine himself, accompanied by the Construct Master Yuli, headed to the riverside city of the Mamet United Alliance.

Little Seven didn't come along; it's staying with Bixi to keep it company.

Of course, this could also be an unnecessary move by Saine.

Even if Saine and his group stayed in this port city for a week, it would be just a blink of an eye for Bixi.

This big guy can sleep a lot, and he always seems to need more sleep.

Looking at the many cities within the Mamet United Alliance, the port of Jimos is not particularly outstanding. It is neither the capital of any kingdom within the federation nor a major economic hub.

It was only because of its proximity to the riverbank and the relatively developed water transportation that it gradually became a large city.

The port city of Jimos also has its own Floating Skyport. Saine discovered that there are more Floating Skyport within the territory of the Mamet United Alliance than on the South Coast.

Almost every city that appears to be of any significant size has its own Floating Skyport.

Furthermore, the design of the airships of the Mamet United Alliance is somewhat different from what Saine saw on the South Coast and in the Green Source Land.

The airships here are smaller on average, but they are quite modern in many ways.

In particular, its propulsion system appears to be different from other airships.

While reducing production costs, carrying capacity and flight speed were not significantly affected.

What Saine didn't know was that over 70% of the airships of the Mamet United Alliance were built with the assistance of the City of Steel to the north.

Similarly, the Mamet United Alliance continues to absorb more than half of the City of Steel's annual orders.

The two top powers in the Wizard World complement each other. The prosperity of the City of Steel over the past 100,000 years and the continued strength of the Mamet United Alliance are inseparable from each other's support and the wisdom of their decision-makers.

In the Jimos Harbor, Saine's main purpose was to collect and purchase some specialty materials from within the territory of the Mamet United Alliance.

These rare magical materials, originating from the Mamet United Alliance and the Alien Plane it controls, are cheaper and more diverse than those found in other regions' Holy Tower shops.

Saine wasn't aiming for high-end materials; he was mostly focused on various resources and experimental equipment suitable for Level-1 Magician.

In particular, Saine has consumed a lot of materials recently, and some of them must be replenished.

The Magic Coin that Saine is spending now are the ones he has saved up before; he has not used the Spoils of War he received from the Black Magician.

Regarding that incredibly valuable Spoils of War, the best option is for Saine to sell it after arriving in the Black Domain of the Western Islands.

The situation in the Black Domain is far more chaotic than the black market that Saine had previously participated in.

Let alone some bloodstained stolen goods, even if it were an open trade in native slaves of the Wizard World of level one or above, there would be no investigation.

It was a wasteland teeming with evil, a stage where countless madmen and vicious villains of the Wizard World gathered and roared.

Saine spent two days exploring the port city of Jimos.

The following afternoon, after acquiring most of the commonly used resources on his list, Saine discovered a black shop located in the southwest corner of the city.

This is a dilapidated little shop that gives off a quiet, ominous feeling, and the things it sells are also very peculiar, all of them are old and worn Magic Books.

The man guarding the shop was a bald, hunched old man.

Wearing a gray short robe, his dead fish-like eyes slightly lifted when he saw Saine enter the shop.
