Fighting is strictly prohibited in the black market.

Saine had no interest in breaking the rules set by a few level-three Black Magician.

Therefore, the enormous Azure Fire Fist ultimately only grazed the face of the Gray-Armored Knight.

Despite Saine's precise manipulation of the elements, not a single trace of Fire Element escaped and burned the opponent's eyebrows.

This exquisite control over Element Power, along with the formidable attributes of the Azure Fire Magic, caused the Gray-Armored Knight to involuntarily take a half-step back.

This guy is a Black Knight from the Black Domain. He has gone through countless battles and trials to get to where he is today.

The move that Saine just made is enough to prove that he is stronger than me.

However, the Knight all valued their reputation, and this guy, despite his rugged appearance, seemed to be quite popular.

Saine's side suffered a setback, his two companions behind him gave a low shout and walked up to him.

The combined force of three Level 1 Knight was quite intimidating.

However, Saine remained unmoved throughout. With his current strength, dealing with three Knight whose strength was in the early to mid-stages of level one was not difficult.

These three guys are not the elites from the Knight Continent Trial Zone.

Not only was his own cultivation level relatively low, but the equipment he used was also rather poor.

Saine doesn't need Lina's help to deal with these three Knight.

"Pah! Kid, want to practice outside the black market?" The Gray-Armored Knight was so frightened by Saine that he took a half step back. When he came to his senses, his bearded face showed undisguised embarrassment and anger.

Knight value face far more than Mage, and this Gray-Armored Knight sensed the Mage's arrogance.

"This is definitely a tough opponent!" the Gray-Armored Knight thought to himself.

But he couldn't just swallow his pride and let it go. Without outside intervention, a fight was inevitable.

It's just tough on this Gray-Armored Knight; his Magic-Infused Armor was already riddled with holes, and it's uncertain whether it will be completely destroyed after this battle.

When faced with the challenge from the Gray-Armored Knight, Saine raised an eyebrow.

His original intention was not to fight this guy. The Gray-Armored Knight hadn't done anything wrong; he was just a little loud, and he had been bargaining with Zorro before, so it didn't come to the point of fighting.

All I can say is that Saine underestimated how much this guy cared about his image.

Having been away from the Black Domain for so long, Saine had almost forgotten that in the Black Domain, face was perhaps equivalent to life itself. Those who showed weakness wouldn't have a comfortable life in the Black Domain, because such people would be bullied wherever they went.

Although his original intention was not to fight the other party, since the other party brought it up, Saine was no longer afraid.

Taking a deep breath, just as Saine was about to accept the challenge, Zorro rushed out from in front of the booth.

"Junior brother, you're finally back!" Zorro said to Saine first.

"This is a misunderstanding!" he then said, turning to the Gray-Armored Knight.

Before either of them could say anything, Zorro patted his chest and declared, "How about I lower the price of this Aquamarine Shield by 2 Magic Coin, and sell it to you for 25 Magic Coin?"

Zorro's proactive price reduction made the Gray-Armored Knight look much better.

More importantly, it's two Magic Coin cheaper, only 25 Magic Coin... It's really hard to buy Magic Conductor cheaper than this within the Black Domain.

The Gray-Armored Knight was still hesitating and pondering when Zorro saw this and lowered the price again. "24 Magic Coin, this is the lowest price, I can't give you any more discounts!"

This time, before Zorro could say anything more, the Gray-Armored Knight answered directly, "Deal!"

Just kidding. Compared to saving face, this Gray-Armored Knight is actually more pragmatic.

Furthermore, this Gray-Armored Knight usually stayed in the Black Knight' territory west of the Black Domain and didn't have much contact with these Black Magician.

Even if he suffers some loss of face, it probably won't reach them. In such a vast Black Domain, who would even know him?

The Gray-Armored Knight paid very quickly and decisively, as if afraid that Zorro would change his mind.

Furthermore, this guy's payment method was quite interesting; he took out 13 Magic Coin, 11 High-Level Energy Crystal, and 5 high-grade Soul Crystal.

The value of currency in the Black Domain differs from that in other parts of the Wizard World.

The exchange rate for Energy Crystal and Soul Crystal here is higher than that for Magic Coin.

The items he brought out could probably be exchanged for 30 Magic Coin in other Holy Tower outside the Black Domain.

Knight and Mage from other parts of the Wizard World also frequently visit the Black Domain.

The Black Domain is indeed known for its scarce resources, but it also has many unique products.

After quickly completing the deal with Zorro, the Gray-Armored Knight didn't forget to glare at Saine one last time.

Saine frowned, and just as he was about to teach the Black Knight a lesson, Lina walked up to Saine.

"Lina, it's been a long time," Zorro greeted Lina, who was standing next to Saine.

At this moment, Lina maintained her form as a red-haired little girl, which was the form that Saine and Zorro were most familiar with.

Lina's appearance almost instantly attracted the attention of most of the surrounding Black Magician and dark Knight.

Because at this moment, Lina was wearing a special gray medal on her Magic Robe.

The chilling aura emanating from the medal clearly indicated that this was a Great Black Magician from the Black Tower.

Many knowledgeable people recognized Lina's Identity Badge as coming from the Pale Bone Black Tower.

"Long time no see, Senior Brother Zorro," Lina said with a smile.

Lina addresses Zorro as "senior brother" from the perspective of Saine's wife.

At this moment, Saine naturally put his arm around Lina's slender waist, causing many Black Magician who saw this scene to widen their eyes.

Even the still resentful Gray-Armored Knight, upon seeing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Without even turning his head, he immediately told his two companions behind him to leave quickly.

"If you still need magical equipment repair services, you can contact me through that contact information," Zorro said to the departing Gray-Armored Knight. They seemed to have exchanged contact information earlier.

The Gray-Armored Knight waved his hand, his meaning unclear.

With Saine's return, Zorro temporarily closed his stall.

"Senior brother, the official Magic Conductor you made are selling for way too cheaply!"

"Even the simplest formal Magic Conductor would sell for at least 50 Magic Coin in the Holy Tower Shop. How could someone possibly take it for just over 20 Magic Coin?" Saine said.

Zorro was still packing up his alchemical materials when he stopped in response to Saine's words. Zorro shook his head and replied, "Perhaps it's worth that much outside the Black Domain."

"But in the Black Domain, it's only worth this much."

"Besides, I have other reasons for doing this..." Zorro said.

"Is it to build connections?" Saine asked.

Zorro replied, "The revenge for our mentor must be taken."

"I've come back this time to avenge my mentor!" Saine said resolutely.
