Mentor's Legacy

Nothing unusual happened in the following days. →

Moxidu must have known the correct way to the surface of the Surface World.

Under his instructions, Saine helped Moxidu along, turning left and right as they continued their journey through the Underground Space.

Although the route was complex, Saine could generally sense that they were constantly moving upwards.

During the journey, we even passed through several dark tunnels that went vertically upwards.

During these few days, Saine noticed that his mentor was noticeably different from before.

In the past, although Moxidu cared about Saine, his concern was still relatively normal, and of course, much better than the attitude of a typical Black Magician towards his disciple.

In recent days, Moxidu has shown extreme concern and enthusiasm for Saine.

He would inquire about Saine's studies and training almost every day, and promptly answer Saine's questions about Fire Element Magic and alchemy.

In the past few days, Moxidu also taught Saine a high-level spell— the Spell Model of the Flame Blade.

The Advanced Magic Flame Blade is actually an enhanced version of the Intermediate Magic Fire Chain Blade that Saine possesses.

Because the Spell Model of Flame Blade is relatively simple compared to other advanced spells, and Saine also has the foundation of the intermediate spell Fire Chain Blade.

Therefore, Moxidu chose to first teach this advanced magic to Saine and help him quickly establish himself as Advanced Apprentice.

In the past, when Saine studied several intermediate Mage such as Flame Hand and Object Control Art, Moxidu simply handed Saine a bunch of Magic Books and let him learn and comprehend them on his own.

But with the personal instruction of Moxidu, a Formal Black Wizard, Saine mastered this advanced spell much faster than expected.

The changes in his mentor Moxidu's behavior and his deteriorating physical condition made Saine suspect that something unexpected was about to happen.

This caused his joy at having just reunited with his mentor to sink.

However, Moxidu, the mentor, although his complexion and energy were deteriorating day by day, his demeanor and expression remained calm and normal.

That day, pointing to Saine's Crystal Ball with a crack, he commented, "The repair is not bad, but the technique is a bit rough. You should have done it like this..."

Moxidu held

Two alchemical tools resembling metal pens were used to teach Saine the technique of repairing Crystal Ball.

Repairing the Crystal Ball is not a particularly advanced alchemical technique. Moxidu' greater intention was to impart his own unique alchemical insights and special skills to Saine while teaching him how to repair the Crystal Ball.

At such times, Saine would promptly pull out a Magic Book filled with dense notes and respectfully record the Truth Arcana his mentor had imparted to him. →

Besides improving skills by handwriting, writing down Magic Notebook also makes it easier for Saine to review them later.

Looking at the studious and upright Saine, Moxidu sighed more than once.

"Your senior brother has impressive alchemy skills, but like me, he has neglected to explore the path of elemental magic, so his chances of advancing to a higher level in the future are not high."

"Your senior sister has a free-spirited personality. Although she has a natural affinity for Fire Element Magic, she is not the kind of person who can patiently explore the Truth, and she has not inherited much of my alchemical heritage."

"You are very likely the only hope for our lineage."

"I hope that you will reach a higher level in the future and carry forward our lineage." Moxidu said solemnly to Saine by the campfire in the underground world.

Faced with the heavy responsibility of passing on the torch and the high expectations placed upon him by his mentor, Saine nodded solemnly.

A month and a half later.

As they drew closer to the Surface World, Saine's heart grew heavier.

The reason why Saine knew they were getting closer to the Surface World was purely intuition.

It was also intuition that told Saine that his mentor Moxidu, might not make it.

Sure enough, on the third night after Saine had this intuition, Moxidu summoned Saine to his side.

At this time, Moxidu was in much worse health than he had been a month or so ago.

Not only did it become emaciated and skin and bones, but even its originally yellow eyes became cloudy and dull.

However, when he called Saine to his side, Moxidu managed to muster his strength and placed three things in front of Saine.

He straightened his back in one breath and looked at Saine in front of him.

At this moment, Saine knelt before Moxidu with the respect due to a disciple and bowed his head deeply.

"This Space Bracelet contains my life savings, as well as some magical equipment and alchemy tools."

"Whether you're a Mage or an alchemist, reaching a higher level inevitably requires a demand for various resources."

"Back then, I stumbled into the world of alchemy by chance, and my initial intention was nothing more than to earn a few low-level Energy Crystal."

"The contents of this Space Bracelet will make your path to becoming Formal Magician smoother and easier."

Moxidu first pointed to an antique bronze bracelet and said this to Saine.

Then, Moxidu pointed to a thick Magic Books next to the bracelet and said, "This book of alchemy notes is the culmination of my years of painstaking research and the notes I made in my spare time during experiments."

"Although there are other Magic Books and alchemy notes in the Space Bracelet, this one is the most important, and it was created by me."

"Besides you, only your senior brother Zorro has read and perused this book on alchemy."

"I hope that you will study the mysteries of alchemy well in the future and forge your own path."

Mentor Moxidu ' words made Saine lower his head even further.

He knew that compared to the wealth within the Space Bracelet, this alchemy manual was actually the most valued inheritance from his mentor.

This represents the Inheritance of Knowledge and the extension of will.

Finally, Moxidu pointed to a small, Short Flute- like object next to the Space Bracelet and Magic Book and said, "I've already repaired your Earth Elemental Shield Ring and Invisibility Cloak, among other things. This Short Flute is for that owl."

"The Dawn Holy Tower's search for the group of Black Magician in the Underdark will likely continue for a long time."

"You, a mere apprentice, can hide your identity well enough that the Dawn Holy Tower shouldn't discover your Black Wizard Apprentice status. But this owl is not so easy to hide. Its kind are magical birds raised by the Dean, and it should already be marked by the Dawn Holy Tower."

"Only by leaving the Underdark will you truly be free from the threat," Moxidu said.
