When Saine and his companion reached Angle, the level one warlock had already returned to his normal human form.

His eyes, too, reverted to those of a normal human, except that deep within his pupils remained an eerie bluish-green hue.

"Thank you for your help, Master. I am Angle from the Farrell Family of the West Coast." Although he had already introduced himself once during the battle, Angle solemnly introduced himself to Saine again.

"I am Saine, Level-1 Magician from the Green Source Land, the Azure Source Holy Tower. Hello," Saine said with a smile.

Angle probably hadn't heard of the small place called Green Source Land, but he did remember the words "Azure Source Holy Tower".

As for Lina next to Saine, she didn't take the initiative to introduce herself.

Finally, Saine added, "This is my wife Lina."

Perhaps the word "wife" touched something, for Lina's face turned crimson, and she involuntarily leaned closer to Saine.

Even through his Magic Robe, Saine could feel the slight warmth of his usually cold girlfriend's skin.

Upon hearing that Lina was Saine's wife, the first-level Angle also gave her a mage's salute.

As for Lina's appearance, which is that of a little girl, Angle was not surprised.

Mage in the Wizard World possess all sorts of abilities, and changing their appearance is nothing special.

Not to mention places like the West Coast, where warlocks roam freely and changing forms is as common as eating a meal.

Based on the strength Lina demonstrated in previous battles, it's absolutely impossible for her to be as old as she appears.

As for why it maintains this form, Angle, as an outsider, had no interest in investigating.

Angle glanced at Saine in front of him without making a sound, and subconsciously thought that this couple was quite shrewd.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Saine and Angle got straight to the point.

The reason I helped Angle this time was partly because Saine wanted to hone his skills, but the main reason was the Dragon Core Fruit.

This Dragon Core Fruit was a treasure that Angle had finally discovered in this Trial Zone. In fact, when he first found it, the Dragon Core Fruit was not yet at its perfect maturity.

Otherwise, he would have run away with the fruit long ago, and all the subsequent events wouldn't have happened.

With Angle's help, Saine discovered some faint traces of magic array patterns hidden around the Dragon Core Fruit.

This level one warlock also appears to be a Array Formation Master; the magic array in front of him, according to Saine, has the functions of energy gathering and heat preservation.

Besides these, it seems to have other special effects.

Angle introduced the magic circle, clearly intending to gain a larger share of the Dragon Core Fruit.

After all, he was the first to discover it, and he also devoted the most effort and resources to it.

Unfortunately, Saine wasn't the kind of person who was always agreeable.

What does Angle's contribution have to do with Saine?

To Angle's subtext, Saine simply replied, "A day ago, you invited my wife and me to join the battle, saying that you would share this Dragon Core Fruit equally."

Saine's blunt reply caused a subtle change in Angle's facial expression.

This is a look of heartache.

In the end, however, Angle did not break off relations with Saine.

This guy is still a man of his word.

After dividing the ripe Dragon Core Fruit into three parts, he gave two-thirds to Saine and Lina, while keeping only one-third for himself.

"Once the Dragon Core Fruit is cut open, its activity will be lost rapidly. I suggest you use it within two days," Angle reminded Saine and the other before leaving.

This guy never mentioned teaming up with Saine.

Ultimately, they were just passing through. Saine was currently spending all his time with Lina and had no interest in forming a team with people he wasn't very familiar with.

Even though they had already fought side by side once.

Nodding, Saine replied, "Thanks for the reminder."

"Then we shall meet again if fate allows. Farewell." After giving Saine and Lina a mage's salute, Angle's figure quickly disappeared into the jungle.

"That's a rather interesting Bloodline Warlock." Watching Angle's figure disappear into the depths of the distant jungle, Saine turned to Lina and said.

Saine's words did not refer to Angle strength, but rather to the fact that he had preserved the magic circle he had set up around the Dragon Core Fruit before leaving.

The trees surrounding the Dragon Core Fruit were mostly destroyed in the previous battle between the level one creatures.

Only the Dragon Core Fruit stood proudly, along with the magic circle that aided its growth.

It is estimated that in another thousand years or so, when the Knight Continent opens again, this place will once again be fruitful.

"Let's go too, let's find a place to absorb this fruit," Saine said to Lina.

The resting place that Saine and Lina finally chose was next to a Little Water.

In the distance, the crimson-orange sunset casts a tranquil and warm atmosphere.

Actually, when Saine was choosing resting places before, he wasn't this meticulous at all.

But since finding Lina, Saine has gradually begun to pay attention to these details.

This is perhaps what real life is like. Only when he's with Lina does Saine's daily life become more colorful.

A tent with a slightly metallic feel is where Saine and Lina rest.

This tent was made by Saine during this period of time. It can also be considered a magical item. When it is folded up, it is only the size of a capsule. When it is released and activated, it also has the ability to insulate and absorb shock.

The conveniences of alchemy are also evident in this kind of daily life.

At this moment, Saine was processing the Dragon Core Fruit they had just harvested.

After one-third of the fruit was cut off, the bright red flesh inside the Dragon Core Fruit was revealed, and a strange fragrance filled the air.

This fragrance has a hint of dragon's blood, no wonder it's named Dragon Core Fruit.

When dealing with the Dragon Core Fruit, Saine rejected the idea of eating it directly, instead intending to make it into Magic Potion.

In addition, Saine has a number of other high-grade magical materials that he can incorporate into the potion.

However, making Magic Potion is not simple; issues such as potency loss and fusion must be considered.

That's what Saine is thinking about right now.

On the Laboratory Table by the pond, Saine was busy with bottles, jars, and reagent tubes.

Lina lay on a magic blanket, playing with the gift that Saine had given her.

Saine gave her was the eye of an Owl-Eyed Elk.

This thing has a certain affinity for Lina's Dark Element constitution, and it's unknown what Lina will ultimately do with it.

However, what Lina cared about more than the eyeball was the black bracelet that Saine had taken out.

"I didn't expect you to still have this?" Lina said, lifting the Black Crystal Bracelet hanging on her wrist.

"Of course, I'll keep everything that's yours perfectly safe."

"It has accompanied me through many days and nights, especially in the Yellow Sand World," Saine replied gently while handling the props on the Laboratory Table in front of him.

A hint of contentment appeared on Lina's lips as she lazily straightened her body.

If Lina were still in her previous state of having long, straight black hair, her current appearance would undoubtedly be incredibly alluring.

But even though she was still a little girl at that moment, this action was undeniably adorable.

"Dragon Core Fruit is of no use to me. You've already taken the medicine made from it."

"Anyway, I don't need to improve my physique," Lina said.
