The Yellow Sand World, or perhaps the world of desert, is the name given to this world by the Black Wizard Apprentice from City of Mozhsuobula arrived in this Alien Plane.

Even someone as learned as Zorro, Quasi-Magician, couldn't give a rough estimate of how big this world really is.

He simply stated that it certainly wouldn't be as big as the Wizard World.

The Wizard World is vast and expansive; according to his mentor Moxidu, it is among the most advanced in the billions of planes of the astral Star Realm.

Saine had no idea how big the Wizard World was, let alone be able to compare it to the Yellow Sand World before him.

However, it is still a world. Through communication and speculation, these Black Wizard Apprentice believe that the area they have been active in over the past few months may be less than one percent, or even one-thousandth, of this Yellow Sand World.

Their apprentice-level perspective limited their viewpoint to very little.

Not to mention those Alien Plane beings who were hostile to the Wizard Civilization according to historical records.

The sheer difference between this Yellow Sand World world and the Wizard World was enough to make these apprentices, who hadn't even reached the first level of Life Level, complain endlessly.

It was during his conversations with his senior sisters and brothers that Saine learned that the group of Black Wizard Apprentice were able to survive for several months in the harsh environment of the Alien Plane, and that the water source was naturally obtained by the water magic apprentices by condensing water spheres.

The food supply mainly came from a few apprentices who were proficient in Plant Element magic.

As long as they can use Earth Element magic to create soil and have enough water, those Plant Element magic apprentices can cultivate the corresponding edible plants.

This must be part of the charm of magic, right?

If ordinary civilians from the Wizard World, who are powerless to even kill a chicken, came here, they might not even last a day.

On the afternoon of the day he arrived at the camp, Saine met Lina.

For Saine, it was just that he hadn't seen Lina for a month.

But he knew that Lina hadn't seen Saine for more than four months.

The two, reunited, were both quite emotional.

However, they all hid it very well, especially Lina. Outsiders could not see any emotion in this cold-faced female apprentice.

On the contrary, it was Saine's senior sister, Fei'er, who expressed her feelings and even told Saine that she would introduce a sister to him.

The camp built by the Black Wizard Apprentice in the Yellow Sand World was not large.

The entire campsite contained only a dozen or so portable tents of varying sizes.

These tents were said to have been brought by a Quasi-Magician, and there were also some special magical equipment inside the tent in the center of the camp.

According to Zorro, the senior apprentice, these devices are the main components that make up the Coordinate Generator. →

Following behind his senior sister Fei'er, Saine arrived at his residence for the next period of time.

Having already lived in a dug-out pit in the sand for a month, Saine felt genuinely comfortable being able to move back into a tent.

In particular, having a place that provides shelter from the wind and sun will allow him to sleep more soundly when he is resting.

The only awkward thing is that the tent isn't very big.

And there were already people here beforehand.

"No way, Fei'er. This tent is already cramped enough for the two of us, and you brought someone else back?"

The voices came from inside the tent, but because there was a curtain separating the two sides of the tent, Saine couldn't see what the other person looked like at first.

Judging from her voice alone, she must be a young woman who has a good relationship with her senior.

"If you think it's too crowded, go live somewhere else. I'm going to stay with my junior brother anyway," Senior Sister Fei'er said casually.

As soon as her senior sister finished speaking, a female magic apprentice dressed in a black robe stepped out from behind the curtain.

This female apprentice does look quite young, but she's wearing much more makeup than her senior sister, Fei'er.

Saine felt very uncomfortable looking into those peach-blossom-like eyes.

In particular, the fact that the other party seemed to have sprayed some kind of fragrance on them made Saine feel a little resistant.

Unlike Saine's reaction, the female apprentice who stepped out from behind the curtain had her eyes light up when she noticed Saine's appearance.

After walking up to Saine, he not only stared at Saine without restraint, but also let out a lewd laugh and said, "So this is your junior brother? Not bad, not bad, no wonder you can't bear to part with him."

"My name is Malina. Actually, I've heard your name before. Merri is my junior apprentice." The heavily made-up female apprentice introduced herself quite generously after walking up to Saine.

First impressions of a person do not affect Saine's attitude towards them.

Spend.

Although he didn't particularly like the heavily made-up female apprentice who exuded a strange fragrance, Saine still smiled and replied, "Hello, I'm Saine."

Since Malina is Merri's senior, she must also be a disciple of the Formal Black Wizard Di'ersi.

It seems that Master Deers's lineage and Mentor Moxidu' lineage are quite connected.

Not only are the two Formal Black Wizard friendly allies, but their disciples are also friends.

I heard that Merri has two senior sisters, but I don't know who the other one is or if she is in this camp.

After a brief exchange with Malina, Saine, exhausted from days of travel, found a corner in the tent and lay down.

Lina went to find another Quasi-Magician in the camp to hand over the mission, and she won't be back for a little while.

A comfortable environment is indeed more conducive to relaxation.

With his composure and caution, Saine quickly fell asleep after lying down.

This may also be related to the fact that the tent's main color is black, as a black environment makes it easy for people to fall asleep and can also evoke images of the Underdark underground world.

In the darkness and in his sleep, Saine vaguely felt someone slip into his arms.

The other Saine Saine n't wake up but instead hugged her.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are really having a blast, all three of you together?"

"I haven't tried this in years, would you mind adding me?" Malina's voice came from the darkness.

"Get out of here, I don't want you to dirty my junior brother."

"If you're itchy, go find your Jack or Thomas, don't bother us," Fei'er replied fiercely.

"Hmph, I'd like to go, but Thomas is just an Intermediate Apprentice. It's not certain whether he'll even make it to the camp alive."

"And Jack, that guy, was swept away in a sandstorm two months ago, and his body has never been found. Where can I find solace?"

"How about this, I don't want all of it, just give me one of his hands, I'll handle it myself," Malina said, equally surprising.

This time, Fei'er only replied with one word, "Get lost."
