Old Acquaintances

At the beginning, Saine flew with Zorro.

The two brothers, who were fellow disciples, had nothing to hide from each other, including most of Saine's secrets, which they also shared with one another.

To outsiders, Zorro is not good at fighting, and Saine is a new face. As Zorro's junior brother, he must also be a newly promoted Black Magician.

Therefore, the fact that the two were close together can be considered as these two fellow disciples helping and watching over each other.

Such mutual assistance and support is extremely rare within the Black Domain.

At the same time, this situation also indicates that this duo is at least not to be trifled with.

Even without Lady Qiongni's authority, it's estimated that few Formal Magician would want to provoke two beings of equal rank without cause.

However, halfway through the flight, Lilianya, who had only given a brief greeting before, took the initiative to come closer.

Lilianya came to see Saine; this woman had already heard the news of Saine's powerful killing of Babaluka.

Although there is suspicion that Saine relied on the power of the Tier Little Seven Level Magical Beast, in the Black Domain, strength is the foundation of everything, regardless of whose power Saine borrowed.

People only respect the strong.

Lilianya is no longer the prominent figure she was at the City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy. She is now very low-key, and of course, no one looks down on her. Her mentor alone is enough to command respect.

Seeing that Lilianya had come to find Saine, the rather sullen Zorro glanced at the two of them, then flew a certain distance away.

Zorro knew that his junior brother was a womanizer; back in the Black Wizard Academy, Saine had been in relationships with both Lina and Fei'er at the same time.

Zorro assumed that Lilianya was also one of Saine's lovers from his early years.

Under these circumstances, it's really inappropriate for his senior to continue standing there.

Zorro has truly wronged Saine this time; he has absolutely no connection with Lilianya.

Even Saine himself was curious about what this woman wanted to do by coming over.

Lilianya didn't say anything about Zorro's departure.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the female Black Magician transmitted her Mental Strength to Saine, saying, "Saine, I heard you also have a Gray Feathered Owl, a level Level Magical Beast. Why haven't you brought it out?"

The Gray Feathered Owl is the breed of owl that Little Seven belongs to, and it is also a species that Martin, a level three Black Magician, keeps in large numbers.

In response to Lilianya's question, Saine replied, "It's not feeling well right now, so I've put it to rest in the Dimensional Bag."

Lilianya nodded thoughtfully at Saine's answer.

The woman probably assumed that Little Seven had been injured during the previous killing of the level one Black Magician, Babaluka, so she didn't ask any further questions.

After a moment, Lilianya continued with a sigh, "I didn't expect that you, Saine, have also advanced to the next level and even raised Gray Feathered Owl of the Level Magical Beast level."

"You must have gone through a lot after you came out of the Underdark, right?" Lilianya asked.

Saine did not answer Lilianya's question, but remained silent.

His previous explanation to Martin, a level three Black Magician, was that after narrowly escaping from the Underdark, he traveled south to the South Coast South Coast, where he spent over thirty years honing his skills before finally advancing to the next level.

After advancing one level, Saine immediately went to the Western Islands to find his senior brothers and others.

Little Seven was indeed an owl he had rescued from the academy, and she and Saine advanced to the next Level Magical Beast on the South Coast.

Saine's explanation has many flaws and ambiguities.

Fortunately, Martin, a level three Black Magician, didn't press the issue to get to the bottom of it.

This is related to the habits of the Black Magician community; which Black Magician doesn't have a dark past and secrets?

It's normal for Saine to keep some of his circumstances hidden.

Mage like him, who was all alone on the South Coast but rose to the next level in just thirty years, must have had some extraordinary encounters and special circumstances.

Lilianya, who had also recently been promoted, was extremely curious about Saine's situation.

She wanted to know how this man had managed to reach such a level.

It's possible that Lady Qiongni and others prompted her to come and test Saine, or it could be that this woman's pure pride was at play.

Why is Saine stronger than her?

This should be a true reflection of Lilianya's inner thoughts.

Despite both being level one Black Magician, Lilianya absolutely lacks the ability to kill Babaluka on her own.

Furthermore, through her mentor Qiongni's connections, Lilianya had heard some things about Lina and how Lina had taken the initiative to seek out Saine. All of this fueled Lilianya's burning jealousy, a sentiment she had once held dear.

Saine had no interest in considering Lilianya's true feelings, Saine remained rather indifferent throughout their interactions.

After noticing Saine's indifference, Lilianya stopped asking any further questions.

Just as she was about to leave empty-handed, Saine suddenly spoke up and asked a question that was completely unrelated to what she had asked before.

"Lilianya, besides you, me, and Senior Brother Zorro, who else from the group of apprentices at the City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy has advanced a level?" Saine asked.

Saine's question startled Lilianya for a moment, then she smiled and replied, "Quite a few. Mike and Xila have both advanced a level, but they're not usually on Moduolong Island."

"Actually, there are many apprentices in the academy who are stronger than us, but many of them have not been able to leave City of Mozhsuobula."

"I heard not long ago that Stanson also got promoted. I wonder if he'll be heading south with me this time," Lilianya said.

Saine probably remembered all the names Lilianya mentioned.

These apprentices who were promoted were originally top apprentices at the Black Wizard Academy.

It was Lilianya's mention of Stanson that surprised Saine.

"Stanson? The one who had a homosexual relationship with Mali..." Saine pondered.

"Oh, you know about this too?"

"That's right, they're dating now! I heard Stanson wanted to raise enough resources for Mali to become a Formal Magician, and he even argued with his mentor about it," Lilianya said.

Women's innate gossip-loving nature allowed her to know a lot of inside information about the area around Moduolong Island.

Lilianya explained that Saine had been neighbors with Stanson and Mali, and was therefore curious about their current situation.

But in reality, what Saine was thinking about was his experience with these two magic apprentices back in the Yellow Sand World.

Saine had once fought with these two magic apprentices and nearly lost his life.

However, his conflict with Stanson gradually eased later.

These are a pair of very distinctive Mage.

Especially when they fled the Yellow Sand World, Saine, in a strict sense, owed them a favor.
