This is a three-story stone building. When Sain followed the silver-armored knight to the third floor, what appeared before him was a man with short platinum blonde hair, wearing a white robe, and exuding a scholarly aura.
On the third floor of this stone building, Sain could even see the rough outline of the Black Magic Academy in the city center through the window.
There, intense battles were still raging, with elemental explosions and flashes of fire appearing from time to time.
The Black Magic Academy, a symbol of the last resistance of the black mages in Muzobura City, had been operated by them for a long time. The dense restrictions and magic towers marked it as the toughest bone to chew.
His thoughts were involuntarily drawn to the Black Magic Academy far away outside the window, and Sain was very curious about the situation there.
The silver-armored knight seemed to have already completed his communication with the white-robed mage. As a first-level or higher power, they possessed the ability to communicate telepathically.
"Are you very concerned about that place?" the white-robed man suddenly asked.
As a powerful Holy Tower mage, the white-robed man before him did not possess the cold and arrogant aura commonly found among the official black mages of the Black Magic Academy.
Instead, he gave off a warm and gentle feeling.
"My friend might still be there," Sain replied softly.
He did not mention that he had a mentor.
With Sain's status as a black magic apprentice, his mentor would inevitably be an official black mage, which would bring him unnecessary trouble.
The white-robed man nodded and then said, "Bakuda said you are a black magic apprentice who still has a good heart and acts with integrity, especially for saving many ordinary civilians in Muzobura City."
"Although I am not a commoner knight like Bakuda, your qualities and actions still earn my great admiration," the white-robed man said.
The words of the white-robed man suddenly made Sain recall something.
It was two years ago, near the temporal passage in the Yellow Sand World. When two peak third-level archmages were fighting on the other side of the passage, a Holy Tower mage seemed to speak up for the safety of them, the black magic apprentices.
If Sain was not mistaken, the voice of the person speaking was no different from that of the white-robed mage before him.
A beam of white light shot from the mage's fingertips, which was a healing light.
Under the effect of the healing light, Sain felt that the scars on his skin and the many internal injuries he had accumulated were significantly healed.
The quality of the healing light far exceeded the muscle regeneration magic stored in the head of his mentor Mosaic's magic staff.
"It seems you suffered a lot in the Yellow Sand World."
"Tell me, what did you discover in that world that needs to be reported to us at the Holy Tower?" the white-robed mage asked, his expression calm as he looked at Sain.
The demeanor of the knights and mages before him was clearly different from that of the black mages underground.
Licking his slightly dry lips, Sain recounted his discoveries in the Yellow Sand World one by one.
Originally, he wanted to inform his mentor or the dean of the college about the existence of the Sandworm King.
But given the current situation, he could only reveal all the information to these Holy Tower mages.
And the Sandworm King initially seemed to have asked Sain to seek help from the Holy Tower?
As Sain spoke, the expressions of the white-robed mage and the silver-armored knight standing beside him were quite vivid.
It was a mix of surprise and excitement.
Sain could guarantee that the expression the Sandworm King wanted to see from the powerful wizards was not what was currently displayed.
"It seems our intelligence was incorrect. The information from the Beren Empire stated that there was a dead fourth-level creature's corpse in that broken plane, not a living one."
"It seems I need to report this matter to Dean Romwitz and the Tower Master as soon as possible," the white-robed mage said.
"Yes, High Knights Franz and Jensen accompanied Dean Romwitz to the depths of the underground six months ago to pursue that peak third-level black mage."
"Besides trying to contact the two High Knights, I will also quickly relay this matter to the Hall of the Sword of the Earth," the silver-armored knight nodded.
The conversation between the two second-level powers did not exclude Sain.
After Sain took out some sandworm eggs and sandworm specimens from his spatial ring, the two second-level powers no longer doubted the authenticity of his words.
The obvious aura of extraterrestrial creatures and the nature of the broken plane, which could not nurture native life, indicated that something must exist in the Yellow Sand World.
However, at the end, the white-robed mage asked one more question, "Did that extraterrestrial fourth-level creature not ask you to sign a contract?"
Sain shook his head and replied, "No."
Exchanging a glance with the silver-armored knight, the white-robed mage said, "That extraterrestrial fourth-level creature might be planning to escape, and its current condition may be even weaker than we imagined, otherwise it wouldn't even sign a rule contract."
"As for its intention to join the Wizard Alliance... hmm, it's probably just a ruse, and it doesn't have much confidence in it."
"Causing destruction and turmoil within the Wizard World and then wanting to join the Wizard Alliance?"
"The Guardian of Summer didn't kill it with one strike, which is a stroke of luck for it!" the white-robed mage said with a cold laugh.
Perhaps the suddenness of the news and the possibility that the Sandworm King might escape added a sense of urgency to the two knights and mages.
They even didn't specify how to handle Sain.
The white-robed mage just told Sain to stay here and not wander around, and then hurriedly left the stone building with the silver-armored knight.
However, before leaving the stone building, the white-robed mage casually set up a magical barrier.
Under normal circumstances, with Sain's apprentice level, he would be unable to break this magical barrier.
Thus, Sain temporarily stayed in the stone building.
For three consecutive days, he did not see the white-robed mage or the silver-armored knight again.
Three days later.
Intense explosions and elemental impacts appeared at the Black Magic Academy in the center of Muzobura City.
Standing on the third floor of the stone building, Sain saw flames rising from the south and west sides of the academy, and the noise of this explosion was much louder than in the previous days.
"Whoosh!" The sound of creatures flapping their wings echoed in the sky above the academy.
Amidst the thick smoke and flames, Sain vaguely saw about twenty owl monitors and a dozen flying dark creatures escorting several black mages and some black magic apprentices slowly ascending.
One bald mage in a white robe, Sain recognized immediately.
Vice-Dean Martin, the second most powerful figure in the academy after the mysterious dean!
At the center of the many owls, Martin waved his hand, and a large number of rhomboid meteorites suddenly descended from the sky.
These meteorites were originally the fluorite veins in the sky above Muzobura City.
Therefore, in Sain's view, he saw a dense cluster of bright orange, sharp meteorites falling from the sky, accompanied by scorching flames as they descended.
A meteorite rain that swept across the entire Muzobura City descended!
This was an indiscriminate attack. Without waiting for the knights and mages on the ground to take action, Vice-Dean Martin, the founder of Muzobura City, would personally bury this city.
However, his actions seemed to be intended to cover their retreat.
