Setting Out

Spring goes and autumn comes. When the leaves fall and the cicadas of summer gradually disappear, it is time for Saine to set off south.

"Can't I really go with you?" In the Magic Tower, Fei'er asked Saine with obvious reluctance in her eyes.

"Your strength is still too weak, and this is precisely the time when you need to meditate your Mental Strength and accumulate Magic Power."

"I'd prefer to see you promoted when I come back."

"Instead of the brief time I'll get from my trip to the South now."

"If you can advance one level, we'll have more time to spend together in the future," Saine said to Fei'er.

Saine spoke very bluntly because he had to be so blunt with Fei'er and make the pros and cons clear.

In public, Fei'er is a shrewd and intelligent Black Magician, but in front of Saine, she often acts like a rogue.

Her behavior suggests a close relationship with Saine.

However, on the other hand, it seems rather immature.

Ultimately, Fei'er was unable to travel with Saine to the Knight Continent of the Western Islands; she accepted Saine's suggestion.

And Fei'er also knew that she would only cause trouble for Saine if she went there.

After watching Saine's figure disappear into the horizon in front of the Magic Tower, Fei'er silently returned to the Magic Tower behind her. →

What she will complete next is the learning and training plan that Saine tailored for her.

Perhaps it was Saine's departure that further stirred up some of Fei'er's thoughts.

On the contrary, after Saine left, Fei'er's growth and improvement accelerated significantly.

Just as Saine had hoped, Fei'er also wanted to give him a surprise.

After leaving Moduolong Island, Saine did not travel south alone, but instead traveled with his senior brother Zorro.

Even his senior brother Zorro wasn't alone; there were also many Black Magician from the vicinity of Moduolong Island traveling with him.

After reuniting with his senior brother Zorro, Saine also met two other acquaintances.

First, there's Lady Qiongni, Second-Level Black Magician, who is Zorro's current direct backer.

Back then, Zorro and Fei'er were able to successfully arrive in the Black Domain and establish themselves there thanks in no small part to Lady Qiongni. In some ways, Lady Qiongni's kindness to Zorro even surpassed that to the Level 3 Black Magician Martin.

Martin only provided protection to Zorro and the others for personal gain.

As for Lady Qiongni, she only gave Zorro so much help because of Moxidu' request and the favor he had done for her.

It is precisely because of this favor that Zorro has been able to do quite well in the Black Domain Zone near Moduolong Island all these years.

Zorro had always wanted to accumulate resources for Fei'er to break through to the top tier. Many of the customers who commissioned Zorro to customize magical items, especially those from the East Coast, were helped to obtain these items by Lady Qiongni.

Saine could tell that Senior Brother Zorro was genuinely grateful to Lady Qiongni.

Besides Lady Qiongni, the second acquaintance that Saine met was Lady Qiongni's apprentice, Lilianya.

The woman who liked to wear leather pants and boots during her apprenticeship has now been promoted to Formal Magician.

When Lilianya appeared before Saine, her attire was quite different from what Saine remembered.

The leather pants and boots of the past have been replaced by a long, black magic robe that covers the body.

Although this magical robe did not conceal Lilianya's tall figure and good posture, at least compared to before, this woman was less arrogant.

People change, and Lilianya is no exception.

Back in the City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy, Lilianya was Top Existence among the apprentices, a prominent figure in the entire academy, and her mentor was the then Vice Dean, Lady Qiongni. Naturally, she wouldn't take ordinary people seriously.

However, upon returning to the Black Domain of the Western Islands, even a Level 3 Great Black Magician like Martin suffered a series of blows and setbacks.

What is Lilianya, a newly promoted Black Magician has only recently broken through to level one?

It was precisely because she understood her situation and the cruelty of this world that Lilianya did not inherit her spoiled princess temperament.

Even after seeing Saine, she greeted him, Saine was also dressed in a black robe, saying, "Saine, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see." After his gaze lingered on Lilianya's face for a moment, Saine nodded in response.

These Black Magician from the Black Domain have their own unique route to the southern outskirts of the Knight Continent.

This passage must have been opened up by the Holy Tower and Knights' Hall of the Western Islands specifically for these vicious Black Magician.

After all, there are also some slots available for entering the Knight Continent within the Black Domain.

This special passage is also to prevent those from the Black Domain from affecting normal Mage from other parts of the Wizard World.

There were quite a few Black Magician accompanying Saine and his group, numbering as many as twenty or thirty.

These Black Magician are mostly based near Moduolong Island and can be considered Martin's direct subordinates on Moduolong Island.

Saine didn't see Martin, the level three Black Magician, guessing that either Martin wasn't there yet or had gone somewhere else.

Social classes have always existed.

In the Wizard World, or rather, in the entire Star Realm, the difference between each level of Life Level represents vastly different status, perspectives, and influence.

Level-3 Magician have their Level-3 Magician circles, and Second-Level Magician have their Second-Level Magician circles.

As for Level-1 Magician like Saine, they naturally have the most contact with other Level-1 Magician of the same level.

Of the twenty or thirty people traveling with them, besides Lady Qiongni, there were two other Second-Level Black Magician.

However, those two Second-Level Black Magician probably didn't receive as much trust from Martin as Qiongni, and their individual strength was also far inferior to Qiongni's, so their presence in the team was relatively low.

The other party didn't even greet Saine, but just smiled at Zorro next to Saine.

Zorro has made a name for himself in the vicinity of Moduolong Island over the past decade or so thanks to his apotheosis skills.

Even these Second-Level Black Magician might sometimes need Zorro's help.

Unlike when Saine set off for the Poison Fire Green Flame World to fight, the Mage from the Azure Source Holy Tower and the same sect system were closer and had some basic social interactions.

The group of Black Magician around them, though all from the vicinity of Moduolong Island and subordinates of Martin, a level three Black Magician, did not interact with each other.

Aside from the very beginning when someone would exchange a few words with Lady Qiongni, everyone else went their separate ways.

Even during their flight, each Black Magician maintained a considerable distance from the others.

Black Magician, what a cold and indifferent group.
