The Lord of Ashes

None of these alien gods are easy to deal with.

Not only is the goddess of misfortune like this, the succubus queen is also not a simple character.

Thain has always felt that he might have been used by the succubus queen Anna Karenina in some way.

But the fact is that he did get a lot of benefit from the Succubus Queen and the Infernal Demon.

As for the actual harm to himself, Thain has not yet felt it.

The succubus queen Anna Karenina and the goddess of misfortune Benshaba both seemed to have their abilities greatly restricted during the Saint Catastrophe.

Otherwise, with Benshaba's original strength as a mid-level god, a mere third-level creature like Thain wouldn't be able to spot the clues.

After meeting and saying hello, the Succubus Queen suggested that Thain go to the first level of Purgatory with her for a while.

‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏ Without thinking about it for too long, Thain nodded and agreed to the matter.

"By the way, another group of family members of the God-Slaying Society will be sent to purgatory."

"This time the Justice League and the Wings of Nature seem to be going to kill them all, and their purging actions are far greater than before." Queen Succubus said casually.

Thain nodded without saying anything.

"Actually..." The Succubus Queen spoke again, and this time her voice was lengthened a bit.

When Thain turned around to look at her, the Succubus Queen continued: "Actually, Ben Shaba has wanted to get to know you for a long time, including when you first came to Purgatory. She had already shown great affection to you. focus on."

"Although this is the first time you have met today," the Succubus Queen said.

"Really?" Thain turned to look at the goddess of misfortune.

"It looks like you've seen other gods like me before."

"I once tried to divine the situation of your wizard civilization..." Benshaba said. She had indeed been paying attention to Thain's situation for a long time.

"Oh? What was the result?" Thain asked casually.

A hint of helplessness and bitterness appeared on the face of Benshaba, the goddess of misfortune.

With her mere mid-level god power, what results can be achieved by divining a top civilization?

Fortunately, Ben Shaba did not force divination, otherwise the price she would have suffered would not be as simple as losing a few strands of hair.

It was precisely because she had sensed that the wizarding world was an extremely powerful world, far beyond the level of the demons in purgatory, that why Benshaba was so interested in Thain.

Just like Thain's position at the center of the purgatory demons, he is not an ordinary third-level creature. Behind him, he represents Rose, or the wizard civilization.

Including the Succubus Queen, she also frequently comes into contact with Thane. It is estimated that part of the reason comes from the prophecy of Benshaba, the goddess of doom.

Seeing the goddess of misfortune's expression, Thain probably guessed the result.

It's not because the two goddesses in front of him are level five creatures that Thain has too much flattery.

We've seen too many high-level creatures, and that's just the way they feel to us.

After having a brief contact with the two goddesses and asking Yuri and the little fox girl to receive him, Thane turned and returned to his laboratory.

This maverick attitude of Thain made Benshaba blink her eyes a little surprised when they met him for the first time.

However, the Succubus Queen has long been used to it. She even called the little fox girl to pour herself her favorite Biluo Panjin tea.

In Thane's castle, the Succubus Queen feels at home‎​​‎​‏‎‏​‎‏​‏‏‏.

Except for Thain's secret laboratories and collection rooms, which she did not enter, she had been to all other places.

…

The relocation of the castle was quickly carried out smoothly.

A purgatory princess offered help, and Thain didn't even bother.

It has to be said that among the creatures above Level 4 that Thane has come into contact with so far, this purgatory princess is the most "selfless" to him.

Not only did she rarely ask for anything in return from Thain, but she would try her best to give him whatever Thain wanted.

Thain had only experienced this kind of selfless dedication from his mentors Lu Lianman and Bixi before.

However, the former is a mentor and the latter is a close friend.

No matter how much the purgatory princess paid in front of her, she would definitely ask for something in return in the future.

Thain doesn't know yet what kind of reward this Purgatory Princess will ask for in the future, but according to the general principle of equal transactions among magicians, it is an indisputable fact that he owes this Purgatory Princess a favor.

As for the priceless exotic specialties or delicacies and tea that Anna Karelina received from Thain, Thain really did not put them on the same level as the support given by the other party.

Of course, perhaps for this princess who enjoys the entire purgatory space, the funding she gave to Thain is equivalent to those exotic specialties that are not very valuable in Thain's eyes.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

Both parties are investing, and the Purgatory Princess is just more generous.

Thinking of this, Thane couldn't help but compare the Spider Queen Rose with the Succubus Queen.

Thane also benefited greatly from Lolth, the Spider Queen.

In particular, the silver spider ring, the knowledge of dark and death elements, the secrets of formations, a corpse of Hercules, etc., add up to more than what the Succubus Queen contributed.

But judging from the last sensory experience, it was this succubus queen that attracted Thane's favor more.

Because the Succubus Queen never asserts her own strength and threatens Thane, instead she acts like a silly rich man who responds to every request.

Rose, the Spider Queen, has threatened Thane with her life more than once. Comparing the two, there is a huge difference.

Thain couldn't help but sigh slightly, and Thain didn't dwell too much on this aspect.

…

After arriving at the first level of Purgatory, Thain, who had become less affected by the Purgatory environment, continued to devote himself to his experimental research.

Most magicians are like this, for decades.

It has been decades since he came to Purgatory, and Thain has basically not done any other activities.

Even because many demon specimens and experimental materials were delivered to his door ready-made, he could only leave his castle a handful of times.

Flynn, who was Thain's experimental assistant, officially joined Thain's laboratory as his assistant twenty years ago.

Flynn's magic learning qualifications are not bad, and his understanding is not bad, but in Thain's opinion, this little guy cannot be classified as a "genius".

Where are there so many geniuses in this world? !

Thain's evaluation of Flynn is that he has a high probability of being promoted to Level 2, but reaching Level 3 depends on his own destiny.

After the first ten years of basic learning tasks, Flynn finally replenished his foundation and finally had a basic ability to join Thain's laboratory.

But Flynn's life level is too low, and his basic knowledge in all aspects is relatively weak.

The role he often plays in the laboratory is not as good as Yuri, the maid who has been with Thain all year round.

However, Flynn is a child who is modest and introverted, and has a strong desire to learn and inquisitiveness.

Many times, Thain had no time to talk to him, so Flynn would go to Yuri for advice.

Sometimes he would even go to the little fox girl Ai Jieli to ask for some basic laboratory knowledge.

Although the little fox girl Ai Jieli's job is to be a shaman, she has been cleaning Thain's laboratory all year round, and she has seen and learned a lot under the influence of her ears and eyes.

Compared to Yuri's aloofness, the little fox girl Aijieli, who has a more friendly attitude, provided Flynn with great help when he first joined Thain Laboratory.

It's not enough to just read and learn knowledge. You have to practice it to truly understand the mysteries of magic.

Thain pulled Flynn into his laboratory, also wanting to train him in this aspect.
