Returning Alone
Lina and Fei'er were unable to return to the Wizard Continent with Saine to clear their names for their own reasons.
Finally, even Zorro declined Saine's suggestion to return to the Wizard Continent.
"I am Mage from the Western Islands. I have lived in the Black Domain with my mentor since childhood. This is my true home."
"The normal way of life in the Holy Tower and the Knight Continent is no longer suitable for me," Zorro sighed.
"Besides, if I stay here, I can also help take care of my junior sister."
Fei'er has only been promoted one level for a short time, and she is undoubtedly at her weakest point right now.
Even in the Black Domain, Fei'er doesn't have many resources or decent connections. If Zorro stays in the Black Domain, the two siblings can help each other out.
After Saine avenged his mentor Moxidu, Zorro was left with no ties to him.
He had no desire or interest in going to the Wizard Continent and living a normal life in the Holy Tower.
Following his mentor's wishes, constantly studying alchemy, and helping to take care of his junior sister Fei'er is probably one of Zorro's few remaining aspirations.
Saine did not object to his senior Zorro's decision.
Fate played a cruel trick on him. When Saine set off from the Azure Source Holy Tower, his initial intention was to reunite with his old friends and stay together with them forever.
Unexpectedly, during his final trip to the Western Islands, none of the three people he valued most returned to the Wizard Continent with him.
Sometimes Saine thought, maybe I should just stay in the Black Domain too.
However, the Giant Mermaid Bai Xing coldly reminded Saine that one is influenced by one's company, and even if Saine had certain principles, staying in the Black Domain, this great dyeing vat, would definitely not lead to a bright future for him.
Even the faint Light of the Planes within Saine's body will likely be consumed without him realizing it.
Besides, there is a genuine master-disciple relationship between Saine and Luluman.
How can we explain to her mentor that Saine has stayed in the Black Domain without a word?
The Mage, including Saine's family, his Cousin Serena, and Irene, with whom he has a certain bond, are also in the Azure Source Holy Tower.
Saine does Lina the most, but it is undeniable that other bonds also influence and entangle Saine.
Life is like a multiple-choice question, and Saine would love to select all the answers, but the rules don't allow it.
After his duel with Di'ersi, Saine accepted the invitation from Bixi and the Giant Mermaid Bai Xing to travel to the Ice Ocean in the Black Domain Northern Part, intending to meet their eldest brother, the leader of the Dragon Clan.
At that time, Lina naturally traveled with Saine.
Saine won't have much time left in the Black Domain, so Lina must cherish every second she spends with Saine.
Saine's senior sister, Fei'er, also stood silently behind Saine.
Only Zorro, Saine's senior brother, did not intend to go to the Black Domain Northern Part with Saine.
"I plan to return to Thousand Leaf Coral Island first to pay my respects to my mentor," Zorro said, holding a charred Magic Staff in his hand.
This Magic Staff belongs Magic Staff Di'ersi, and it is also one of Moxidu's original creations.
Saine nodded in approval of his senior brother's actions.
When he left the sea area with Bai Xing and Bixi, Saine also encountered Martin, a level three Black Magician, and Jigson, Demigod-level Black Magician.
Martin and Jigson were luckiest because they were a step too slow.
Otherwise, their fate... just look at Kanterla.
Martin glanced at the giant Sea King Class and Bai Xing in the distance with extreme fear and disbelief. With his limited understanding, he simply couldn't comprehend how Saine knew these important figures.
Because the Magic Contract signed by Martin and Zorro did not involve any complex laws of power, Bai Xing easily modified its contents.
As the other party to the contract, Martin must have already been aware of this situation.
Saine is a man of principle. As long as Martin doesn't openly threaten him, Saine won't take advantage of Martin's power to specifically target him.
In retrospect, Zorro and Fei'er were able to settle down after arriving in the Black Domain because they did owe Martin and Qiongni a favor.
"My senior brothers Zorro and the others will Dodo Dean Martin's help in the future," Saine said to Martin in a gentle tone.
"No problem! You're all from City of Mozhsuobula, and you're Moxidu's disciples, so I'll definitely take extra care of you," Martin said.
Saine nodded and continued, "I still feel that the Magic Contract is a bit unfair to my senior brother, so I reduced the contract duration to ten years. You see..."
"I also think that contract is a bit unreasonable," Martin agreed. "How about this, I just cancel the contract with Zorro?"
"We Mage follow the Principle of Equivalent Exchange, and even my senior brother said that he owes you and Lady Qiongni a lot."
"It's just a ten-year contract, and my senior brother said he has an obligation to fulfill it," Saine said.
Zorro, Saine's senior brother, is very much like Moxidu in many ways.
So much so that Martin was stunned for a moment after hearing Saine's explanation.
Martin suddenly thought of Moxidu, who had already fallen, and who had also been a stubborn person who adhered to his principles.
Black Magician with this kind of personality are becoming increasingly rare in the Black Domain...
But it is precisely because of their rarity that many Black Magician are willing to make such friends.
Even though Moxidu is dead, Zorro, who had not yet been promoted to the next level, is still protected by Qiongni, Martin, and others.
It must be said that it was the legacy left by Moxidu.
While Saine and Martin were having a brief conversation, Lina was called over by Jigson.
Goodness, I thought it was just a routine trip to help a junior that the tower master had taken a liking to.
Who would have thought that such a dramatic scene would unfold!
Jigson could naturally tell that those Sea King Class and the unfathomably powerful Bai Xing were all acquaintances of Lina's boyfriend, Saine.
Jigson called Lina over, mainly to ask about Saine's situation.
Besides, Jigson was also quite worried that Lina would leave with Saine.
With Jigson's abilities, he couldn't possibly snatch people away from so many Sea King Class and terrifying beings.
He's not qualified, and neither is the Pale Bone Black Tower Tower Master behind him.
But if Lina is lost like this, Jigson won't get away with it when he goes back. First of all, the tower master won't let him off easily.
Of course, if Lina could stay in the Pale Bone Black Tower, or even leave her boyfriend Black Tower too...
The information Jigson reported upon his return was enough to cause a major earthquake in the upper levels of the Pale Bone Black Tower.
Lina's status and treatment in the Pale Bone Black Tower will also be completely different from the past.
In the past, the extra care Lina received in the Pale Bone Black Tower stemmed from the tower master's high regard for her.
But this time, with the information brought back by Jigson, Lina's treatment in the Pale Bone Black Tower will probably be several times better.
Even the powerful Tower Master would probably be terrified. If Lina suffered any injustice in the Pale Bone Black Tower, would Saine lead a dozen giant Sea King Class to demolish the Pale Bone Black Tower?
Strength is the prerequisite for everything. Saine himself may not be strong enough, but he can leverage external forces.
