Revenge

The cost of materials alone for making a proper Magic Conductor is at least 10 Magic Coin.

This also requires the maker to avoid too much waste of raw materials and experimental accidents.

Zorro sold the Aquamarine Shield to the Gray-Armored Knight. The material cost was about 12 Magic Coin. If labor costs are included, he only paid 24 Magic Coin to the other party. In fact, Zorro didn't make much money.

Don't forget, Zorro is under the protection of Martin, a level three Black Magician, and a portion of the profits he earns from selling Magic Coin must be shared with Martin.

Saine was also an alchemist, and naturally he was unwilling to have his magical artifacts, which he had painstakingly created, sold at a low price.

More importantly, Saine believed that time is money.

If labor and time costs weren't taken into account, Saine would never have made such a "loss-making" deal like Zorro.

This also reflects the personality differences between the two brothers.

Zorro did this to build up his network of connections in the Black Domain, hoping to avenge his mentor in the future.

Everyone has their own way of living, and it can't be said that Zorro's actions are necessarily wrong.

Zorro's current approach can also be seen as an investment.

If he can gradually build up his network within the Black Domain, and even maintain stable contact with the Black Knight in the Western Black Domain, he may not be without a way out in the future.

The Black Knight, in some ways, are far more loyal than the cunning Black Magician.

If Zorro can accumulate enough resources and connections, he might be able to persuade a level three Black Knight to avenge him.

The Black Magician were far too insidious and cunning. Martin, a level three Black Magician, only valued Zorro's alchemical talent and didn't truly support him.

On the contrary, those black Knight who only care about money might be willing to help Zorro with this one-off deal.

However, if Zorro wants to get a powerful Black Knight to help him, he'll have to save up his fortune for years.

Never underestimate the wisdom of a Spellcaster.

Zorro's seemingly unprofitable business deal might actually turn out to be profitable in the long run.

Saine doesn't want to be like Zorro, enduring hardship and biding his time for so many years.

Because Saine is now confident he has the absolute strength to avenge his mentor Moxidu. Zorro also saw the determination in Saine's eyes, then nodded and said, "Then I'll take you to see Dean Martin now."

As Zorro carried Saine and Lina toward the Magic Tower where Martin was located in the black market, he glanced at Lina beside Saine, gathered his thoughts, and whispered to Saine, "My junior sister sent word seventeen years ago that she has been promoted to Formal Magician."

Zorro was naturally referring to Fei'er, and it was a cause for celebration that Fei'er was able to advance a level. →

Saine's former mentor, Moxidu, was indeed a responsible and truly talented Mage.

Of his disciples, aside from those who perished, the remaining three have all advanced one level.

Such a high advancement rate is rare even at the Holy Tower Academy.

Lina already knew that Saine and Fei'er were having an affair.

Not only Fei'er, but also during the more than twenty years of Knight Continent Trial, Saine intermittently told Lina about his experiences over the years.

Lina was extremely magnanimous about the fact that Saine had other women.

Lina could sense that she was unique in Saine's heart.

Moreover, given Lina's identity Black Magician, she is likely destined to remain a woman in the shadows behind Saine for a long time to come.

Lina's almost doting love for Saine meant Lina didn't mind him having a few more women to satisfy his needs.

Because Lina knew that only she would be Saine's wife, and no one else could ever shake her position.

Why is Lina so certain?

Because she also loved Saine deeply, to the point of unconditionally trusting Saine.

"It's a good thing that my senior sister has advanced one level. I've already promised her that I'll take her to the Azure Source Holy Tower in the future," Saine nodded and said.

Fei'er has only just been promoted one level and has not been wanted by the Holy Tower or the Knights' Hall.

Logically speaking, she has a very good chance of clearing her name.

Zorro said, "Fei'er wanted to come to this Public Sea Domain more than a decade ago, but I sent back Magic Letter to stop her."

"Having just been promoted to Formal Magician, it's best not to run around. Stabilizing her cultivation level is her top priority."

Saine nodded in agreement.

Martin, a level Black Magician, resides in a small Magic Tower located north of the black market.

The black market is situated on an abandoned rocky reef, which Black Magician have transformed into a black market. Martin is one of the largest shareholders in this medium-sized black market.

Martin was not surprised by the arrival of Zorro and Saine.

It's likely that other Black Magician had already informed Martin of Saine's appearance.

Despite the Aura Concealment Technique, Martin, a level three Black Magician, still noticed some changes in Saine after they met.

In just over twenty years, Saine's various Mental Strength values nearly tripled, directly reaching the level of a peak first-level Mage.

If you also consider the effects of Saine's Azure Fire Body Ablaze and the Azure Fire Heart Magic Staff, he has enough confidence to go toe-to-toe with Second-Level Magician.

Martin glanced thoughtfully at Saine, but didn't investigate what Saine had gone through. He then greeted Lina, who was standing next to Saine, with a warm smile.

It wasn't because Lina and Saine had the same life energy level, but because of the Black Tower Badge pinned to Lina's Magic Robe, and the rumored level of importance the Pale Bone Black Tower Tower Master placed on her.

"You two are both graduates of our City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy. It would be nice if you could come and visit us more often," Martin said with a smile.

Since Saine did not sign any Magic Contract with Martin, and now that he has met with Lina, Martin subconsciously believes that Saine will go to the Pale Bone Black Tower with Lina.

This is a perfectly reasonable deduction. Given Saine's age and his mastery of alchemy, it wouldn't be difficult for him, a first-level Life Level, to join the Pale Bone Black Tower with Lina's personal recommendation.

Before Saine could exchange pleasantries with Martin, Lina cut to the chase. "Saine wants revenge for his mentor Moxidu. I heard that Dean Martin has agreed to negotiate with another level-three Black Magician, Kanterla, on his behalf?"

The level 3 Black Magician Kanterla, is the powerful backer of the level 1 Black Magician, Di'ersi. If Saine wants to kill Di'ersi, he will inevitably have to get past this formidable figure.

Di'ersi is now one of Kanterla's cash cows. If such a Black Magician with considerable potion-making abilities is to be killed, Kanterla must first agree to it.

With level four powerhouses rarely appearing, level three Black Magician are basically the most common high-end force in the Black Domain.

Therefore, Lina did not intend to use the power of the Pale Bone Black Tower to intimidate others from the beginning. If Martin could act as the initiator on Saine's side, things would be much easier.
