Parting

Saine wasn't opposed to joining a small group. →

Guinness is right. In the trials on the Knight Continent, having a team to support each other will definitely take you further than going it alone.

Without much hesitation, he nodded and accepted Guinness's invitation.

Saine is thinking now is that he doesn't know where Level 1 Knight Guer has gone.

Otherwise, that guy would be a good business partner.

Saine's agreement made the campfire barbecue a truly happy occasion for everyone.

From Guinness, Saine learned that they were currently in the outer perimeter of the Trial Zone.

To find more valuable finds, or even creatures of level one or higher like the Owl-Eyed Elk, they need to continue venturing further north.

This is the advantage of having a team. The direction that Saine had been heading in was, to be precise, northeast.

Although it wasn't too far off course, it would definitely take longer to reach the center of the Trial Zone.

The direction that Level 1 Knight Guer left in was almost completely off course.

Of course, we can't say they went the wrong way.

Each Trial Zone on the Knight Continent is vast, and even Knight like Guer, who has strayed from the right path, can reap rich rewards that are unimaginable to outsiders.

Besides, who says that being biased is bad?

Perhaps they can find some special secret realm deliberately placed in a corner of the Trial Zone. →69🅂🄷🅄🅇.🄲🄾🄼

The reason Guinness and the others knew the right direction was because the four of them exchanged information and had also encountered two other groups of trial participants beforehand.

In addition to the information obtained from Saine, it was determined that heading north was the direction with the greatest expected returns.

The need for sleep has been greatly reduced for Level 1 organisms, and the campfire barbecue continued until late at night.

Except for Guinia, who went to rest for a while, the others became more and more energetic as they talked.

During the six months that Saine spent in the Knight Continent Trial Space, he didn't have any particularly special experiences; he mostly talked about things from the past.

Guinness, Hope, Mainz were very interested in Saine's travels from several years ago.

After briefly discussing their families and the Holy Tower they came from, Hope and the others mainly talked about the things they had experienced in the six months since they entered the Knight Continent.

What Hope Mainz were saying didn't particularly interest Saine.

But one thing Guinness mentioned made Saine's body tremble.

Guinness mentioned that when he and his sister had just reunited, they happened to encounter a group of Knight from the Eli Knights Alliance who were targeting several Black Magician.

The smell of gunpowder was very strong at the time.

Among the top powers within the Wizard World, the Eli Knights Alliance exert the greatest annual pressure and manhunt for Black Magician. →

In the annual update of the Wizard World's Black Magician kill count, the Eli Knights Alliance consistently top the list.

The generous rewards for completing these missions have driven Knight of the Eli Knights Alliance to travel to various Wizard World, especially the Western Islands, every year to hunt down Black Magician and black Knight.

Guinness had met several strong members of the Eli Knights Alliance in the past.

It was against this backdrop that the Black Magician and black Knight of the Black Domain gradually developed a deep-seated enmity with the Eli Knights Alliance.

Saine was quite familiar with the name "Eli Knights Alliance" because this top power in the Wizard World was located not far from the Green Source Land.

Strictly speaking, the Green Source Land is on the outskirts of the Flame Conclave's sphere of influence, and Saine's master Cuilisi, was an important member of the Flame Conclave.

The Eli Knights Alliance are located to the west of the Flame Conclave.

Furthermore, in terms of territory and historical significance, the Eli Knights Alliance surpasses the Flame Conclave.

This is an ancient force in the Wizard World whose seniority is comparable to that of the Mamet United Alliance.

In the realm of Knight power alone, the Eli Knights Alliance surpasses the Mamet United Alliance.

In the Wizard World, the only entities capable of challenging the Eli Knights Alliance Knight probably the Beren Empire and the Desert Kingdom Jahana.

If it were a simple conflict involving targeting and surrounding the Black Magician, Saine wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

What really concerned him was that Guinness mentioned that among the Black Magician who were surrounded, there was a female Black Magician who looked very much like the one that Saine had encountered in Ellen Harbor.

When Saine used his magical Element Power to gather and solidify the image of the tall female Mage, Guinness nodded in confirmation of her identity.

Taking a deep breath, Saine said, "It seems I won't be able to travel with you..."

"Who is that female Black Magician? Is she your friend?" Guinness raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.

As a native Level-1 Magician of the Western Islands, Guinness was not actually that resistant to the group of Black Magician.

This is also related to the region he lived in. Many Knight and Mage from the Western Islands had more or less dealt with those guys from the Black Domain.

Even rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows; at least in the Western Islands, the Black Knight and Black Magician of the Black Domain rarely cause trouble.

At most, they bully ordinary civilians and the lowest-class creatures on the border.

When asked about Guinness, Saine remained silent.

The next morning, Saine said goodbye to Guinness and the others.

Since no Magic Contract had been signed beforehand, Saine's breach of contract was merely a verbal violation.

"It's okay, you take care of your own business first."

"We're still friends, and we'll have the chance to meet again in the future," Guinness told Saine.

They've already exchanged contact information, so it shouldn't be too difficult for Saine to find them later.

Nodding, Saine flew rapidly towards the northeast.

A pair of fiery wings, formed from the Azure Fire Element, appeared behind Saine.

This allows Saine to maintain flight at speeds close to his own limits in this Trial Space where gravity and other rules differ.

Whether it's a coincidence or some kind of special connection, I don't know.

The direction that Saine had been heading in alone was exactly where the female Black Magician Guinness had mentioned had appeared.

A streak of emerald green light flashed across the sky.

Watching Saine leave, Guinness suddenly exclaimed, "He's better than me!"

Following up on the Guinness, Hope added, "Still better than me!"

"Is he really not Battle Magician? How can a pure elementalist have such a strong physique and resilience?"

"Even if he said he was a Bloodline Warlock, I would believe him," Hope said, shaking his head.

Finding someone in such a vast Trial Space is no easy task.

In particular, according to Guinness, he encountered the female Black Magician several months ago.

As the emerald green flame he transformed into swept across many areas of the Trial Zone, the feeling in Saine's heart intensified.
