The Human Heart

The parchment in front of you is not an ordinary map, it is a Magic Map.

When Saine used his own Element Power to gently stroke the parchment roll, the entire parchment roll emitted a faint light.

For this map, Baron Snella probably doesn't attach much importance to it.

Also, Snella Family has taken root in Gezes City of Thousand Leaf Coral Island for more than a thousand years, and they are familiar with every plant, tree, mountain and water here.

How could it be possible to use this Magic Map to seek refuge in the north where the future was uncertain?

However, this Magic Map is also very important in the Snella Family. To this day, the only people who know about the existence of this map are Baron Snella himself and his eldest son.

Examining the Magic Map in front of him, Saine discovered that it was a regional map that focused on describing Southern Black Domain.

The workmanship of this Magic Map is very rough, but the information recorded internally is relatively comprehensive.

On this map, Saine found a total of two marked coordinates.

These two coordinates should be one of the destinations of Saine's trip.

His senior brother Zorro and senior sister Fei'er are probably there.

And looking at the distance, the place where Zorro and the others live is not far from Thousand Leaf Coral Island.

It is almost on the edge of Southern Black Domain. A little further south, we come to the junction of the middle part of Black Domain and Western Islands.

Of course, the "not far" mentioned here is for Level-1 Magician who has the ability to fly like Saine. →

For those bottom creatures below level one, it would be an unimaginably long journey for them to cross the sea and at least three islands.

No wonder Baron Snella has almost never considered going to Black Domain to seek help from Zorro and others.

With this Magic Map in his arms, the goal of Saine's trip to the Snella Family has almost been completed.

However, before leaving, for the sake of safety, Saine reconfirmed the identity of Baron Snella and the accuracy of the copy of Magic Map.

How to be sure? Naturally, the one used is Soul Magic.

Snella Baron didn't pay attention, Saine put his hand on his shoulder.

The eyes, which were originally apricot-yellow and bloodshot, couldn't help but turn up.

A blurry image frame with a gray-white background soon appeared in front of Saine.

The scene presented in the image frame should be from thirty years ago, when Baron Snella was still a twenty-year-old young man who had just inherited the title for two years.

The passage of time has made the picture in the image frame very blurry.

Saine can only roughly judge that the tall man in the image frame wearing a Metal Mask looks very much like his senior brother Zorro.

As for the other woman, she has a hazy beauty in the picture, and she is not wearing a mask. →

This woman obviously left a deep impression on the then young Baron Snella.

Saine recognized this woman at a glance. She was indeed his senior sister Fei'er.

However, in Saine's memory, senior sister Fei'er did not have such a hazy and fairy-like temperament.

The reason why Baron Snella has this picture in his memory... Saine glanced at Baron Snella in front of him, it should be his own reason.

In addition to the scenes from thirty years ago, Saine also recalled the scenes from seventeen years ago from the memory of Baron Snella.

The picture from seventeen years ago was clearer. It was Saine's senior brother Zorro who came, and Zorro's temperament at this time was obviously different from that of thirty years ago.

However, Saine did not see the figure of his senior sister Fei'er, including Baron Snella himself, who also felt a trace of obvious loss and regret.

The weirdness and power of Soul Magic has been verified many times.

Saine did not use Soul Magic on Baron Snella for too long because it might cause permanent damage to his spirit and soul.

In addition to the extraction of some memory scenes, the power of Soul Magic lies in the analysis of the mind and deep thoughts of the parties involved.

No wonder the most commonly used torture methods by Wizard World Mage are Soul Torture.

When it comes to the soul level, no matter what kind of creature they are, there will be no escape.

Glancing at Baron Snella who fainted from looking through his memories in front of him, Saine did not continue to stay in this underground cellar for a long time, but left directly.

There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.

Baron Snella in front of him was obviously very excited and grateful for the help Zorro and the others had given him.

But as time went by, this gratitude gradually turned into dissatisfaction and complaints because Zorro did not help them solve all their troubles.

Baron Snella and his family want more.

It's just that Baron Snella didn't express it easily. He just kept this idea in his heart, and was finally informed by Saine.

Including Baron Snella, he had some evil thoughts about his senior sister Fei'er, which made Saine dislike this middle-aged man even more.

After leaving Snella Family, Saine came to a mountain col northeast of Gezes City.

There is a well-built manor here, and behind the manor is a cemetery. This is the ancestral grave of the Snella Family.

He carefully took out the jar of ashes from Space Bracelet, Saine dug up the soil very solemnly, and finally put the jar of ashes in.

From beginning to end, Saine did not use magic, nor did he ask Yuli and Little Seven to help.

After finishing everything, Saine stood up and bowed to this humble hill.

Saine did not erect a monument to his mentor Moxidu, nor did he have any other decorations.

I believe his mentor Moxidu hopes so too.

After burying the ashes, Saine felt inexplicably lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

Simultaneously with this ease, the value of Saine and Mental Strength increased by several points.

Saine didn't use Crystal Ball to observe how many points it had improved specifically, but such an improvement was enough to take Saine through months of hard work.

"Master, where are we going next?" Yuli took a step forward and asked.

Patting the soil between his hands, Saine glanced at the distant sky and said, "North, let's go to the north next."

After listening to Saine's answer, Yuli stood respectfully behind him again.

She is like a loyal guard, always attached to Saine and never betrays her.

Yuli's performance reminded Saine of Gezes City's Baron Snella.

The human heart is truly a wonderful thing.

When you give favors, you may not get gratitude, but dissatisfaction and complaints.

After giving torture, what you gain is not necessarily hatred, but closeness and love.

...It's really complicated.

Because of this emotion, Saine suddenly had a deeper understanding of Soul Magic.

Especially some of the things recorded in "Mirach Soul Codex", Saine didn't quite understand in the past, but now he understands them somewhat.

"Let's go to the north." After touching Yuli's head, Saine said after Yuli showed a hint of satisfaction.
