The Use of Element Pearls
When Saine awoke from his sleep, he was startled to find himself on either side of him, with two women, each with their own unique charm, lying in his arms.
Judging from the state of everyone's clothes, they probably didn't actually do anything last night.
But Saine's hands were quite restless, holding one on each side.
The Advanced Apprentice Malina was nowhere to be found; only the three of them remained in the tent.
Carefully withdrawing his hand, and after slightly straightening the wrinkles in his Magic Robe, Saine cast a magical spell on himself— Clean Spell.
This simple yet practical magical trick is one of the most frequently used spells by Saine after he descended upon the Yellow Sand World.
Because he did not possess any similar techniques such as the Water Ball Spell, he could only use this magic to maintain his cleanliness.
After Saine got up, his senior sisters Fei'er and Lina didn't stay in bed any longer.
Lina was very self-disciplined; almost the instant Saine stood up, she opened her eyes and stood up as well.
Senior Sister Fei'er dawdled for a while, but in this Yellow Sand World, everyone has their own mission.
If these magic apprentices don't want to be imprisoned here for the rest of their lives, they'd better complete the tasks assigned by the Formal Black Wizard as soon as possible.
"The Vice Dean and his team mainly rely on Advanced Apprentice and Quasi-Magician. You mid- to low-level apprentices can only serve as cannon fodder."
"The Coordinate Generator at both camps are about 70% complete, and should be finished in another two months," Senior Sister Fei'er said to Saine while changing her underwear.
"What exactly is the use of the Element Pearl that each of us received?" Saine couldn't help but ask.
"The Element Pearl are the main energy source for the Coordinate Generator. When the Quasi-Magician came, each of them carried thirty beads, and when the Advanced Apprentice came, each of them carried ten beads," Fei'er replied.
"Why is there only one Intermediate Apprentice among us?" Saine asked, frowning.
"Perhaps they don't trust you. There are two Coordinate Generator, and each one requires more than 150 Element Pearl."
"The reason why not all the Element Pearl were given to the same Quasi-Magician was because the Formal Black Wizard were worried about something happening to him, so they distributed them to each of the other advanced and prospective mage apprentices," Fei'er said.
This information is not from Fei'er
She didn't learn about it beforehand, but rather indirectly from her senior brother Zorro and other Quasi-Magician several months after arriving in the Yellow Sand World, including some information that Fei'er herself guessed.
Of course, these speculations are not far from the truth.
Senior Sister Fei'er wasn't a diligent person in learning magic, but she was undoubtedly intelligent.
He couldn't help but recall that he still had more than a dozen Element Pearl in his Space Ring. Just as Saine took them out, his senior sister Fei'er, grasped and pressed his hand down, whispering, "Quickly put them away."
"Although there is no accurate information, my senior brother once mentioned to me that these Element Pearl are very likely to be the key to our return to the Wizard World."
"If the spatial Coordinate Generator fails to be constructed, the only way to get back will be for the Formal Black Wizard on the other side of the Time-Space Rift to pull us back."
"And if we want the Formal Black Wizard on the other side of the Time-Space Rift to accurately locate us, we will need these Element Pearl as a guide."
"According to estimates, it would take ten Element Pearl to barely meet the minimum requirements for Formal Black Wizard to locate us. And the more orbs we have, the higher the success rate," Fei'er said in a low voice.
It was because of this factor that the Black Wizard Apprentice in the camp began to consciously collect and accumulate more Element Pearl after they had gathered Element Pearl to construct the Coordinate Generator.
No Black Wizard Apprentice would place all their hopes on someone else or on a particular tool.
Unless it's a relationship like that of Saine and Lina, for the group of Black Magician, when a crisis comes, won't they all flee for their lives when disaster strikes?
"Lina and I just finished collecting our Element Pearl. We were thinking about how to collect the rest for you, but I didn't expect you to have already collected them all, and even have some left over?" Fei'er chuckled.
"Yes, something happened on the way, and I learned about it from the other apprentices," Saine nodded.
He then thought of Intermediate Apprentice Mali and Advanced Apprentice Stanson, who had entered the camp with Saine yesterday.
However, after entering, Saine went directly with his senior sister Fei'er to find his senior brother Zorro, and the two of them ended up settling down somewhere.
After the senior sister finished packing, Saine and his group went to find their senior brother Zorro.
Although Saine mainly talked to his senior sister Fei'er during this process, a large part of his attention was focused on Mo.
On the silent Lina.
I believe Lina feels the same way.
Saine's side Senior Brother Zorro, when Saine came to him, he had already prepared the Crystal Ball for Saine.
The communication range of the Crystal Ball is only one-third of its original range.
But this is enough to cover the area around the camp, and even barely maintain communication between the two camps.
"Senior Brother, is there a chance of failure when setting up the Coordinate Generator this time?" Saine couldn't help but ask.
Advanced Magic Apprentice and Quasi-Magician are undoubtedly among the first and most knowledgeable about the camp's situation.
Yesterday, a Advanced Apprentice ambushed people outside the camp and demanded the Element Pearl, which made Saine realize that something was amiss.
My senior sister's reaction this morning was the same.
When Saine asked this question, Senior Brother Zorro first glanced outside the tent, and after finding no other outsiders around, he replied in a low voice, "There is indeed a certain chance of failure, and the success rate is about sixty percent."
"Due to the quicksand environment of this world, the coordinates of the two camps are constantly changing, which has added a lot of trouble to our deployment of Coordinate Generator."
"We have to send out apprentices every day to survey the terrain and record information, but this only plays a very small role."
"As for whether the final Coordinate Generator can be activated to construct a passage between two worlds that can accommodate Formal Magician."
"Besides Saine's side efforts and a bit of luck, it really depends more on the mentors and Vice Dean on the other side of the Time-Space Rift," Zorro said.
"The Vice Dean and his team went to great lengths to send us here; they must have had their reasons and goals."
"So I don't think there's any need to be too pessimistic. The final passage should be feasible. As for collecting the Element Pearl, that's just a precaution and backup plan," Zorro reassured him.
Senior Brother Zorro's words of comfort completely dispelled the last trace of doubt in Saine's heart.
However, Saine did not mention that his mentor had left him a grip.
According to what his mentor had told him, this grip was a backup plan specifically left for him.
The fear is that if the Coordinate Generator fails to be constructed, the Formal Black Wizard will only be concerned with rescuing the Advanced Apprentice and Quasi-Magician, while neglecting him, a mere Intermediate Apprentice.
