Moxidu left behind a very rich legacy. →

As an alchemist, Moxidu's personal wealth is at least three times that of Black Magician of the same level, or even more!

His substantial wealth was also reflected in his legacy to his disciples.

At least Saine and Zorro have both advanced one level.

Fei'er, who had not yet been promoted to Formal Magician, had previously tried to advance with considerable resources, but unfortunately failed.

Saine has no intention of squandering the legacy that Moxidu entrusted to him before his death.

The things I gave to Fei'er a couple of days ago were not part of Moxidu's legacy; they were merely resources that Saine himself funded for his senior sister.

A dozen or so Level-1 Energy Crystal, three Level-2 Energy Crystal, a Five-Hundred-Year-Old Magic Tree Branch, two Metal Discs, nearly a hundred Magic Books, and some alchemy tables with special functions...

In fact, for Saine now, there are many things in Moxidu's legacy that he no longer needs.

Leaving aside the Energy Crystal, Saine is not short of money at all right now.

As for that magical branch, Saine originally intended to forge it into his own Magic Staff, but later Saine found better materials and created the Azure Fire Heart Magic Staff, a top-tier Magic Staff.

The two Metal Discs are still quite useful. These Metal Discs were probably Moxidu' signature Magic Conductor. There used to be many, but now only two remain.

Upon seeing the two Metal Discs, Zorro's mood noticeably sombered further.

As for the alchemy table personally passed down by Moxidu, it is definitely a valuable item for alchemists, especially for people like Saine and Zorro.

However, now that Saine has Azure Source Holy Tower and is the personal disciple of the tower master, most of the laboratories on the top floor of the Azure Source Holy Tower are open to him.

The experimental equipment of a level four tower master is clearly far superior to that of a level one Black Magician.

Now, Saine rarely uses the experimental equipment left behind by Moxidu; he mostly uses the equipment readily available on the top floor of the Azure Source Holy Tower.

So, of all the legacies left by Moxidu, what truly interests Saine now are the hundreds of Magic Books and alchemy notes.

This is the culmination of hundreds of years of experience and knowledge accumulated by a first-level alchemist, enough to save Saine from many detours in the future.

Zorro did not refuse the generous inheritance offered by Saine.

Even close brothers keep clear accounts; Mage are beings who pursue Truth and uphold the Principle of Equivalent Exchange.

In the end, Zorro only took one-third of the inheritance that Saine had given him.

Regarding the two Metal Discs, Zorro opened his mouth, but finally said, "I couldn't find any instructions on how to make the metal discs in my mentor's notes. Could I have one?"

"Senior brother, you can take them all. I have other means of transportation," Saine said, referring to the Mechanical Bee he had recently acquired in City of Steel.

Zorro shook his head; he could see that Saine's situation was no longer what it used to be.

And I just learned from Fei'er that Saine had a remarkable achievement yesterday in killing the first-level Black Magician, Babaluka.

However, Zorro did not have any intention of taking advantage of Saine. Seeing that Saine really had no interest in the two Metal Discs, Zorro said, "Then let's give one to our junior sister so she can protect herself."

Fei'er laughed and said, "I don't want one. A formal-level Magic Conductor would be too difficult for me to use with my Mental Strength and Magic Power power."

"You should take it, senior brother. If you can decipher the secrets of the mentor's metal plate, make me a new one later," Fei'er said with a smile.

This time, Zorro didn't refuse, but nodded firmly.

Saine was unaware of the specifics of how the disciples of other Mage divided their families.

At least the process of dividing the inheritance between Saine and his senior brothers and sisters was very harmonious.

Saine didn't want the Energy Crystal and experimental equipment; he really didn't need them.

However, he carefully collected and kept the Magic Books and alchemical notes that Moxidu left in the Western Islands.

There were also some Magic Books and notes that Zorro himself had never read, let alone grasped their secrets and essence.

Saine did not insist on keeping these books, but instead took away photocopies using magical imprinting.

This was a very harmonious process of dividing the inheritance, and everyone got what they wanted.

Especially for Zorro, a few Level-1 Energy Crystal and one Level-2 Energy Crystal might not seem like much to Saine, but for Zorro, they represented a substantial sum of money. Furthermore, the experimental equipment from Moxidu' lifetime that Saine had taken out was of immeasurable value.

In places like the Black Domain, rare and sophisticated experimental equipment is not necessarily available even if you have the money.

With these experimental instruments, Zorro's alchemical abilities will increase by at least 30%.

During this time, Fei'er was not very willing to take away too much of the inheritance.

Because she had previously received an even more generous gift from Saine.

However, in the end, Fei'er still took what she deserved.

Neither Saine nor Zorro would stand by and watch Fei'er suffer.

"It would be best if you could join a legitimate Holy Tower organization."

"The Black Domain is not a benevolent place. Only on the Wizard Continent can you obtain the best resources and the broadest space for growth."

After the inheritance was divided, Zorro spoke earnestly to Saine.

Zorro, Saine's senior brother, is quite knowledgeable.

Back then, I traveled all over the world with Moxidu and personally witnessed the differences between the Western Islands and other regions of the Wizard World.

Being able to clear one's name is definitely more promising than being a Black Magician.

Aside from those inherently vicious bastards, they are still normal Mage, suitable for exploring the Truth Dao.

"Senior brother, you should come with me later. I can introduce you and senior sister to Azure Source Holy Tower," Saine said.

Upon hearing Saine's suggestion, Fei'er's face clearly showed a hint of interest.

Zorro's appearance had indeed changed somewhat, but he finally sighed and replied, "Never mind, I've adapted to the environment of the Black Domain. You and Fei'er can go."

"What our mentor left behind needs to be inherited, including some grudges that should also be dealt with," Zorro said solemnly.

Zorro's solemn tone also made Saine's expression darken.

"Is it the first-level Black Magician, Di'ersi?" Saine asked.

"Crack!" A corner of the stone table in front of them shattered.

As Zorro's uncontrollable Magic Power surged, some scattered items around him also rose into the air.
