Greenland Island. →

This is a large island located in the north-central part of the Western Islands. By the time Saine arrived here after circling around, nearly two months had passed.

Greenland Island is very large; it is the largest island that Saine has ever come into contact with.

No, it should be said that he is even more exaggerated than the continents of ordinary planes.

Poison Fire Green Flame World as an example, the total area of the eastern and western continents of this Low-Level Plane, when put together, is less than one-fifth the Greenland Island.

Throughout Greenland Island, there are seven Holy Tower organizations alone, and more than fifteen Knights' Hall.

In other words, this large island in the central part of the Western Islands, on its own, is almost half the size of the South Coast.

Aside from the fact that Greenland Island itself has a very large territory, several medium-sized islands and more than a dozen small islands surrounding this large island are all within the sphere of influence of the aforementioned Holy Tower and Knights' Hall.

Saine is not a native Mage of the Western Islands, so he is not very familiar with the power structure here.

However, after arriving at the Western Islands, he deeply felt that the magical civilization here was also quite advanced.

It's much better than the areas surrounding the South Coast and Green Source Land.

The exceptionally convenient and fast space teleportation network enabled Saine to travel around the area and reach southern Greenland Island in just two months.

Saine's exact location is now on the southwestern edge of Greenland Island.

A huge pale blue energy barrier stretched across the distant horizon between the sea and the sky.

This pale blue energy barrier serves as both a barrier between the Knight Continent and the outside world, and a separation between the Western Islands and the Black Domain forces.

For the past two months, Saine has been almost entirely bypassing this barrier to reach Greenland Island.

Regarding the opening of the Knight Continent, Saine has also collected a lot of relevant information.

For example, the interior space of the Knight Continent is exceptionally vast, and the area opened this time is only a few blocks within it.

Each participant in the trial will not necessarily appear in the same area after entering the Knight Continent; this is a result of random allocation.

The entrance to the Knight Continent is not limited to Greenland Island, which is right in front of us.

Greenland Island is merely an entrance to the northern part of the Knight Continent, and it receives mostly a small number of trial participants from the Western Islands, the East Coast, and the Black Domain.

In the eastern, southern, and western parts of the Knight Continent, there are also separate trial entrances.

With the start time fast approaching, Saine didn't bother going to other trial entrances.

Looking north towards the pale blue energy barrier, Saine couldn't pinpoint the exact location of his senior brother Zorro and the others.

Even on this empty sea before him, Saine did not see a single Black Magician.

It was obvious that they were all separated on the other side of this energy barrier, and quite far away from here.

The opening of the Knight Continent should be soon, Saine breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and flew towards the coastal city behind him.

With the opening of the Knight Continent, coastal cities throughout Greenland Island are much more bustling than in previous years.

Knight and Mage from all corners of the Wizard World gathered here, contributing to the prosperity of Greenland Island and the entire Western Islands.

The exceptionally prosperous coastal city behind Saine was among the most affected, and also the wealthiest and most open city.

Hundreds of thousands of Knight and Mage have gathered here, but it is unknown how many of these beings of level one or above are qualified to enter the Knight Continent.

The massive coastal city of Ellen Harbor has a commercial atmosphere that rivals any of the Wizard Civilization cities that Saine has passed through before.

Perhaps because the Knight Continent is about to open, not only first and Level-2 Creature, but even third level powerhouses can be encountered from time to time.

Furthermore, the Wizard Civilization creatures that appeared in Ellen Harbor were not limited to human Knight and Mage.

Saine also saw many sea creatures from the Wizard World.

The sea creatures here are somewhat different from those that Saine encountered on the South Coast.

After all, they are not from the same region, and their decorations and ethnic cultures are very different.

As a Level-1 Magician, Saine was inconspicuous in the bustling Ellen Harbor.

Because this city brings together creatures from all over the Wizard World, its commerce is extremely developed and its goods are extremely abundant.

However, the price was also higher than Saine had anticipated.

For example, Saine saw some specialty resources from the South Coast and City of Steel. These resources increased in price by 20% to 30% after arriving in the Western Islands.

Nevertheless, there are still many people with deep pockets.

While Saine is indeed considered wealthy among Level-1 Magician, there is no shortage of wealthy people in the Wizard World.

Perhaps that seemingly ordinary level one Level-2 Creature is actually a direct descendant of a level four or higher powerhouse?

"Tsk, how come there's Black Magician here?!" A commotion arose from not far in front of Saine.

Perhaps it was the words "Black Magician" that piqued Saine's interest, and he moved forward without making a sound.

Sure enough, there were indeed Black Magician in Ellen Harbor.

More than twenty Mage dressed in black robes were surrounded in the center of the crowd.

These Black Magician have an average life energy level of only level one, and their strength is not remarkable among the many level two and three creatures in Ellen Harbor.

However, their unique aura of menace and coldness makes them instantly distinguishable from ordinary Mage.

Even though Knight were being watched by other Knight and Mage in Ellen Harbor, including some level two and three Mage, these Black Magician showed no panic or unusual behavior.

All that remains is an utterly cold indifference.

This group of first-level Black Magician was no ordinary people; Saine seemed to sense a chilling aura emanating from them, as if they had emerged from a mountain of corpses Blood Sea.

"As expected, they are Black Magician from the Black Domain. How could they appear in Ellen Harbor? I really want to crush their heads one by one!" A Knight was at least three meters tall and had a burly build said, clenching his wrist.

This was a Level-2 Knight, clad in heavy gray armor, with a greatsword slung across his back; he clearly didn't look like someone to be trifled with.

The sound of bones snapping and cracking came from the Knight's wrist.

It seems he really dislikes Black Magician, and it's unclear whether this is related to some early experiences.

The words of this Level-2 Knight resonated with many Knight and Mage around him.

Black Magician and dark Knight have always been a group that is ostracized and vilified in the Wizard World.

Not many people want to deal with these rule-breakers.

Aside from a very small number of genuine Black Magician who have grown up from the apprentice stage, only a very few can become Black Magician.

The vast majority of Black Magician are those who have committed crimes and been wanted by the authorities, which is how they ended up as Black Magician.

Generally speaking, the major Holy Tower are quite tolerant of the Mage in their surrounding areas.

For minor mistakes, the penalty is either a fine of Magic Coin or a verbal reprimand.

Being wanted by the Holy Tower... one can imagine how big a mistake they must have made.

In the Wizard World, there are generally two situations for wanted Mage.

One type is those who have taken lives on their hands.

Another type has a significant negative impact on the development of the Wizard World.

Many Black Magician do not reach the latter level.

Therefore, the vast majority of Black Magician originate from the former.

Moreover, to reach the point of being wanted by the authorities, the number and level of the creatures they have killed are not ordinary.
