Basic Information
The appearance of the Quasi-Magician before him filled Saine with joy.
He needed someone to familiarize himself with the situation on Moduolong Island, and the appearance of this Quasi-Magician was just the right time.
A Flame Hand appeared in front of Saine and reached straight for the Quasi-Magician in front of the wooden house below.
In the Western Islands, especially in the Black Domain, the Mage and Knight here are particularly acute in their perception of danger and enemies.
Before this, the Quasi-Magician had mistaken Saine for a passing Advanced Apprentice and planned to rip him off.
However, when the Flame Hand appeared and he sensed the surging Element Power within it, the black-robed Quasi-Magician's expression changed.
A gust of Element Power appeared on the legs of this Quasi-Magician; the guy was chanting spells quite quickly.
But no matter how fast he was, the apprentice still had no chance of escape against a genuine Level-1 Magician like Saine.
The Flame Hand enveloped the Quasi-Magician, causing him to let out a bloodcurdling scream.
The air smelled of burning flesh and blood.
However, Saine was quite measured in his actions. The Quasi-Magician did suffer some physical pain, but his life was temporarily spared.
Saine doesn't let him die, even if he wanted to, he couldn't.
Besides, even if he dies, Saine still has ways to get the information he wants.
During this time, Saine gained profound insights into the field of Soul Magic.
He has a way of obtaining information from the minds of those who have just died.
This kind of Soul Magic is very similar to the methods recorded in history of demons devouring brains to obtain relevant information.
Saine's knowledge of demons and devils stemmed from the Spoils of War a Second-Level Black Magician he had obtained.
In the Magic Notebook that this Second-Level Black Magician carried with him, Saine learned the location of the hidden laboratory he had built in the Western Islands Western Islands, as well as what other assets he had Saine's side.
Saine doesn't value basic material wealth much because he's not short of money.
On the contrary, it was the many rare specimens recorded by the Second-Level Black Magician that truly piqued Saine's interest.
However, getting to the hidden laboratory of that Second-Level Black Magician is not an easy task.
According to the map of the Western Islands obtained by Saine, the island where this Second-Level Black Magician usually resides is located north of Moduolong Island, closer to the depths of the Black Domain.
The closer you get to the depths of the Black Domain, the more dangerous it becomes—that's an undeniable fact.
The simplest example is the continents and islands deep within the Black Domain, many of which are dotted with Black Tower built by Black Magician of level four or above.
No Black Tower was built on Moduolong Island or some of the surrounding islands.
This is partly due to its proximity to the south, and partly because the area is extremely resource-poor. →
Not to mention that even level four or higher Black Magician look down on it, even Third-Level Great Magician rarely patronize it.
Geographically speaking, the Moduolong Island, where Senior Brother and Senior Sister Saine are located, is still on the edge of the Black Domain.
Meanwhile, the island where the fallen second-level dark mage Van Basten was located was already close to the center of the Dark Realm.
Van Basten's death was truly unjust. If Bixi hadn't forcefully killed him, this Second-Level Black Magician, who had amassed a fortune in resources on the South Coast, would have had a great chance of reaching the level three.
It must be said that luck is also a part of ability, Van Basten's luck was really bad.
Possessing Soul Magic, regardless of whether the Quasi-Magician cooperated or not, Saine ultimately obtained the information he wanted.
He knew what kind of group Black Magician Black Magician were, and he had also almost perished at their hands.
Therefore, Saine had no pity for this apprentice Black Wizard Apprentice was at the level of Quasi-Magician.
After obtaining all the information he wanted, Saine snapped the neck of the creature, whose skin was nearly a third cooked.
Without any magical Element Power, he separated the Black Wizard Apprentice's body from his body simply by the strength of his wrist.
His immense physical strength gave Saine the urge to keep running wildly down this path.
However, Saine ultimately suppressed this idea.
This is the quality a rational Mage should possess; short-term benefits and immediate gains will not affect Saine's judgment.
He is Mage seeks Truth, not Knight seeks individual power.
The reason he possesses such a powerful physique is also due to the benefits he receives from the Azure Fire Body Tempering Magic he has studied.
Conversely, if Saine devotes too much attention to physical enhancement, it will not have much of an effect on his magical Elemental Power.
Saine is well aware of the gains and losses involved.
"Moduolong Island is just an ordinary small island on the edge of the Black Domain, yet it has Second-Level Black Magician stationed there, and more than one at that..."
"The level of fighting and killing here is indeed far greater than in other parts of the Wizard World."
"Peace is the rarest word here. The reason why there is no strong fighting on the island right now is entirely because the distribution of power here has become solidified."
"Those Black Magician are wary of each other, which is why they don't get caught up in endless infighting," Saine said, looking at the distant horizon.
Saine casually tossed aside the corpse of the Black Wizard Apprentice in his hand and continued toward the center of the island.
With his powerful Mental Strength, Saine had already figured out what was inside the wooden hut the Black Wizard Apprentice had come out of.
The mangled body parts and some disgusting Living Specimen... these bloody things reminded Saine of some of his experiences at the City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy.
Black Magician are indeed a group of masters of human anatomy.
That makes sense. If the Black Domain is really as barren as Moduolong Island, then to satisfy their research Desire and the acquisition of knowledge, those Black Magician seem to have no choice but to target the most common "resource"—humans.
The humans of the Western Islands are all "Two-Legged Sheep" kept in enclosures, and the Black Magician will collect some of them when needed.
When there is no need, let them reproduce on their own.
However, because most Black Magician are insatiable and have little energy to encourage these humans to reproduce, the population within the Black Domain is decreasing.
This is a vicious cycle, but unfortunately no one pays attention to it.
Even the various Black Tower, which represent certain rules within the Black Domain, had no interest in such "trivial matters."
"This Quasi-Magician does have some knowledge. Is the Black Domain divided into two major regions?"
"The islands east of the Black Domain, which occupy nearly two-thirds of the Black Domain, all belong to the Black Magician."
"The islands west of the Black Domain, occupying one-third of the total area of Black Domain, belong to the Black Knight?"
"I wonder what the island territories controlled by those Black Knight are like?" Saine thought to himself as he glanced westward.
