Plea

After hearing Mali's answer, Saine remained silent.

He had originally planned to take some of the medicine and exchange information with Mali in a friendly manner.

However, due to Stanson's sudden action and his forced retaliation, this friendly exchange could no longer continue.

In the Black Magician community of City of Mozhsuobula, the weak are not entitled to equal rights.

Saine's earlier intention to have a friendly exchange with the other party was not because the other party happened to be his neighbor.

Rather, it was because Saine was wary of Stanson's Advanced Apprentice level and therefore unwilling to take the relevant risks for nothing.

But now, Saine can get the information he wants without paying any price; that's the advantage of the victor.

No, Saine did pay a price, for example, he consumed nearly half of his Magic Power and Mental Strength, and his Invisibility Cloak was already in cooldown.

This is a magical artifact of a higher quality than the Corrosion Scepter that Saine made himself, and it contains an intermediate spell called "Earth Spike".

In terms of power, Earth Spike is only slightly inferior to the Flame Hand wielded by Saine.

Among Intermediate Magic Item, this staff is considered a top-tier item.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Saine ignored the two men huddled together.

The other person had just tried to kill him; Saine wouldn't share his precious potion with them. He wasn't that kind-hearted. →

After discreetly storing the newly acquired Magic Short Staff into his Space Ring, Saine continued his journey.

As for those two people, whether they died of thirst or starvation in this desert, Saine didn't care.

To Saine's slight surprise, as he set off, Intermediate Apprentice Mali dragged Stanson's strong, clumsy body and slowly followed behind Saine.

It's unclear how this guy managed to drag Stanson's body, and the fact that he's sticking so close to Saine is probably a sign of his refusal to give up on life.

After all, staying there would only lead to their deaths. If they used their last bit of strength to catch up with Saine, there might still be a chance to return to the camp.

Among Black Wizard Apprentice,

They were cold and indifferent to each other, but the camp was in dire need of manpower at the moment, and the Quasi-Magician and Advanced Apprentice should not stand idly by.

The premise is that they can return to the camp alive.

The scorching daylight of the Yellow Sand World drained the energy and fluids of Black Wizard Apprentice like Saine and Mali.

After traveling for almost a day, feeling the three suns overhead growing increasingly hot and stinging his skin, Saine finally stopped and rested on a sand dune to escape the sunlight.

Traveling and stopping frequently is the norm for these Black Wizard Apprentice in this Yellow Sand World.

Even the strongest of the apprentices were simply unable to adapt to the harsh environment of this Yellow Sand World.

A precious Nutrient Potion was carefully taken out of the Space Ring by Saine. There was about one-third of the Nutrient Potion left.

Saine only took a small sip, about one-fifth of the remaining potion, before putting the Nutrient Potion back into his ring.

The Space Ring has a preservation effect on most things placed inside it. Saine doesn't understand spatial science, so he doesn't know the specific reason why.

But he knew that if the Space Ring didn't have this function, he wouldn't have been able to last this long.

All medicines have a shelf life and expiration date, especially those that have already been opened. If they are not used soon, they may spoil and turn from a good medicine into a poison.

It was by taking the medicine in such small sips that Saine managed to hold on until now.

Even if Mali hadn't lied to him, based on the route, Saine might still have some potions left when he arrived at the Black Wizard Apprentice Camp.

After taking a sip of the Nutrient Potion, Saine leaned against the shady side of the sand dune and closed his eyes to rest.

In a place like this, sleeping is simply a luxury.

Only on nights that are cooler, about once every fifteen days, does Saine sleep more comfortably.

Most of the time, Saine could only try to enter a state of calm meditation, which was also a way for him to conserve his physical and Mental Strength.

Shortly after Saine entered a meditative state, a rustling sound came from the surroundings, indicating that someone was approaching.

The Strong Acid Scepter was immediately grasped by Saine. When he looked at the newcomer, what appeared before him was Mali, whose skin was cracked and whose lips were bleeding.

The other person's weak gait and the look in his eyes that suggested he might faint at any moment told Saine that this guy was not capable of anything.

Silk threat.

There are certain requirements for magic apprentices to cast spells. Given Mali's current state, Saine doubted whether the other party could cast a small Minor Fireball or an even lower-level Light Spell.

"Saine, I'd like to trade you some food, is that alright?" A weak voice came from Mali, his eyes fixed on the empty waist of Saine's Magic Robe.

Before Saine could refuse, Mali quickly added, "I can trade with you. I have some things here that you'll definitely be interested in."

It was only then that Saine noticed that a black tattered robe was being carried behind Mali.

This tattered robe must be the clothes of the Advanced Apprentice Stanson. Sure enough, when Saine looked at another sand dune not far away, he saw Stanson, his upper body bare and his muscular chest exposed, lying flat on the yellow sand, his life hanging in the balance.

"Why should we exchange them? Once you two are dead, these things will naturally be mine," Saine replied coldly.

Saine's cold reply left Mali speechless for a moment.

Mali opened her chapped, bloodstained lips as if trying to say something.

But when the words came out, it seemed there were no words that could salvage the predicament he and Stanson were currently facing.

A tear welled up in his eyes. A grown man was actually crying?

In the end, Mali turned and left. He didn't ask anything of Saine. Being with Stanson in the last moments of his life was the best ending for him.

The wisest thing Mali did before leaving was to leave behind the tattered robe.

It's unclear whether he didn't want to face death with these "wealths," or whether he was still hoping for something deep down.

Out of curiosity, really just curiosity.

After Mali left, Saine hugged the tattered robe and examined what was inside.

A total of 16 Element Pearl were found, which was beyond Saine's expectations.

Keep in mind that he only has two Element Pearl at the moment.

Besides the Element Pearl, Saine also found several Magic Beast Core, two Magic Book, and some useless Black Gold in the tattered robe.

Mali and Stanson didn't seem to be well-off; apart from the short staff he had acquired earlier, neither of them had any other magical equipment.
