Fei'er ultimately declined Saine's gift.

Level-1 Magician's corpse as a gift... My junior brother's taste is truly unique.

It wasn't that Fei'er looked down on the corpse, but rather that the value it contained was simply too precious.

And judging from Saine's appearance, what he wants to give Fei'er is not only this corpse, but also the magical items and storage equipment on this Black Magician.

Saine did not press his senior's refusal.

After shrugging, Saine put the guy, who reeked of charcoal, into his Space Ring.

After killing Babaluka, a first-level Black Magic user, Saine's mood inexplicably improved a lot.

He has released much of the anger in his heart, and now his rationality has returned.

Saine paid little attention to the other Black Magician hiding in the shadows outside the Magic Tower.

After setting up several magical barriers, at least for a short time, no fools should dare to bother them again.

In the evening, after more than thirty years, Fei'er once again tasted the mushroom soup made by Saine himself.

Over the years, Saine has been spoiled too much by his Cousin Serena, which has caused his cooking skills to deteriorate considerably.

For the past few years, Fei'er has lived alone on the plains in the central part of Moduolong Island. She usually either replenishes her strength with Nutrient Potion or has the Experiment Specimen in the cages below who know how to cook prepare the ingredients for her.

No matter how good the Nutrient Potion taste, you'd get tired of them after eating them for so many years.

The fear of those Experiment Specimen outweighed everything else for Fei'er, and coupled with the limited ingredients, they couldn't make anything good.

Fei'er was very satisfied with this dinner.

After a brief exchange with Saine, the two agreed to visit their senior brother Zorro in the northern part of Moduolong Island the next day.

Fei'er usually lives on the third floor of the Magic Tower, Saine rested for a while in the living room on the second floor of the Magic Tower that evening.

Fei'er kept her word; she didn't want to show her vulnerable side to Saine right now.

She would wait until she was promoted and regained her youthful beauty before presenting her most beautiful appearance to Saine.

Saine understood his senior sister's mindset to some extent, especially since Saine was getting older. Apart from Irene, who was Level-1 Magician, his Cousin Serena and Merri from the Dawn Holy Tower had not yet advanced to the next level. Therefore, Saine could roughly guess what these women were thinking.

So far, almost all the women with whom Saine has had intimate relationships have been outstanding women.

Saine is generally optimistic and positive about whether Serena, Merri, and Fei'er can be promoted to the next level.

In short, he did everything he could to the best of his ability, and the rest was up to them.

Before his senior, Fei'er, went upstairs, Saine finally couldn't hold back the question that had been weighing on his mind for the past two days.

Saine asked, "Senior sister, do you know anything about Lina?"

Saine's question made Fei'er, who was standing on the stairs, turn around and smile.

"I thought you would keep putting up with it."

"When it comes to how you treat me and Lina, you little rascal, you probably value Lina more, right?" Fei'er teased, seemingly with a hint of reproach.

It seems there's always a strange competitive spirit among women?

Saine has been very good to Fei'er these past two days, but Fei'er still can't help but be jealous of Saine.

This is probably because Fei'er wants to monopolize his excellent junior brother, Saine.

Fei'er never had similar thoughts back in the Black Wizard Academy.

Having not seen each other for over thirty years, their sudden reunion only deepened the bond between Saine and Fei'er.

As the senior sister, Fei'er didn't dwell on the matter or make too many jokes about it.

In response to Saine's question, Fei'er thought for a moment and then replied, "When I first came to the Western Islands, I did see Lina once. She even came to Moduolong Island to find us."

"At that time, Lina had already reached the level of Quasi-Magician. My senior brother once said that he was no match for Lina." (ps: Zorro had not yet broken through to the first level at that time.)

"Lina was trying to find out your whereabouts through us."

"But we haven't received any news from our Saine's side either; we just learned of our mentor's passing."

"After that, we never saw each other again."

"After returning to the Western Islands, Lina's mentor, Master Feilunna, soon left Master Martin's group and reportedly went north."

"Lina should still be with her mentor. Perhaps our senior brother or Dean Martin knows more about Master Feilunna. We can ask him after we find our senior brother," Fei'er explained.

Upon hearing Fei'er's words, Saine visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good to know that Lina is still in the Western Islands, and with Lina's talent, she may have already advanced a level.

With a weight lifted from his shoulders, Saine felt much more relaxed and at ease.

Senior Sister Fei'er has already returned upstairs to rest. As Level-1 Magician, Saine's energy and physical condition are enough to support him in a high-intensity research state for one or two months.

Leaning back on the sofa on the second floor of the Magic Tower, looking at the twinkling stars in the dark sky outside the window, Saine was lost in thought.

Early the next morning, Saine and Fei'er set off for the northern part of Moduolong Island.

According to Fei'er, although Moduolong Island appears extremely barren from the outside, this sizable island actually has some unique resources.

For example, the Volcano Cluster in the north-central part of Moduolong Island produces some low- to mid-level magical materials, including Sulfur Crystal, Red-Hot Magma, and Mist Lime, beneath its Volcano Crater.

In the northern part of Moduolong Island, there are also some low- to mid-level resources in the Earth Element and water systems.

It is said that thousands of years ago, Moduolong Island even had Energy Crystal veins with considerable reserves.

Unfortunately, due to the reckless and excessive mining by the Black Magician of the Black Domain, those Energy Crystal veins have long been depleted.

The numerous deep mines remaining in the western part of Moduolong Island are a testament to the Moduolong Island's former glory.

"Once a vein of Energy Crystal is discovered in a normal Holy Tower or Knights' Hall within this world, it will be protected and sustainably mined."

"Energy Crystal, a fundamental resource for our Wizard Civilization, are actually renewable. It's a real shame that they've been completely depleted," Saine commented.

"Only during interdimensional warfare, when Invasion Legion Alien Plane that do not belong to our Wizard Civilization, will they engage in destructive mining of various resources," Saine remarked.

"The environment and atmosphere Saine's side the Black Domain are certainly not comparable to other regions of the Wizard World."

"For all Black Magician, only what they hold in their hands is truly their own."

"How could they possibly consider future issues, or the sustainable development you're talking about?" Fei'er chuckled.

"By the way, Moduolong Island is also rich in underground resources. There are many underground creatures that inhabit the depths of this island continent," Fei'er added.

"Oh?" Saine asked in surprise.
