The Lord of Ashes

There was no sloppiness when Thain left the city of Peterte.

After only a few days' journey to the north, the originally smooth road was gradually replaced by mountain and forest trails.

People and villages are becoming increasingly sparse.

Fortunately, before leaving, Thain privately purchased a batch of daily necessities in Peterte City, which was enough to sustain him for several months.

As he headed north, Thain maintained a routine of rushing during the day and resting at night.

That evening, Thain released the owl Qi.

"The therapeutic effect of Light Resurrection is very outstanding. It seems that you can completely recover after two more treatments."

A beam of holy white magic light shot out from the badge in Thain's hand and sank into Qi's body.

Seeing Qi's condition getting better and better, Thane couldn't help but smile.

"Gugu, this is a magic that can only be released by a first-level light magician."

"That Midici doesn't look like an alchemist, but he can make such a badge, which shows that he is really a knowledgeable and powerful magician of the Holy Tower." Owl Qi replied.

"You don't have to blame yourself for my inability to join the Holy Tower of Dawn. Apart from your factors, the main reason is actually mine."

"From a certain perspective, it was the Holy Tower of Dawn that indirectly caused the death of my mentor, and separated me from my senior brother, senior sister, and Lina."

"How could I join them instead?" Thain shook his head and said.

Thain's answer made Qi cry out twice.

Since this place is located in a remote area and there are not many people there, Qi doesn't plan to go back to live in the Space Flute.

As a flying magical bird, the sky is its home ground where it spreads its wings and soars.

I saw Qi quickly turning into a black dot, heading for a ride high in the sky and deep in the dense forest.

Glancing in the direction where Qi Qi left, Thane was not worried about what would happen to a quasi-level monster.

Taking out the tent from the space ring, Thane lit a campfire and started preparing dinner.

Knowledge is the source of a spellcaster's power, and Thane is indeed as eager to learn as his mentor Moses praised during his lifetime.

Thain threw some condiments and pieces of meat into the iron pot on the campfire, while he himself took the "Illustrated Book of Peripheral Creatures" and looked through it.

"The low-level magic materials brought from the underground world are about to be used up. Just nutritional potions are not enough to make them."

"But I'm not a pharmacist, and I can't spend a lot of time identifying which underground materials can be replaced by surface materials."

"If I had known, I would have learned more about pharmacy from Meili." While stirring the broth

, Thain said to himself while looking at the book.

The breadth and depth of pharmacy is not much inferior to Thain's alchemy.

There is a lot of knowledge involved in controlling the heat, the order, quantity and time of adding materials.

Because the production of nutritional potions is relatively rudimentary, Thain was able to master it quickly.

Now that the raw materials are gradually exhausted, it is impossible for him, an outsider, to spend a lot of time messing around.

With that time, Thane might as well study more of the magic books left to him by his mentor Moses.

Including nutritional potions, they are also relatively low-level potions, and they are not worth spending too much effort on.

"After you go to the north, you can try to contact those magician organizations, or join the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade?"

"Whether it is the acquisition of pharmacy-related knowledge or the acquisition of other resources, it means that I cannot be too closed-minded." Thain thought to himself.

With his current apprenticeship level, he could study nothing for decades even if he was immersed in the laboratory.

The situation of the middle- and high-level apprentices around Peter City is the best example.

Only by joining the Holy Tower, or an organization with formal magicians or above, can Thane have a higher and broader platform to develop himself.

He has not forgotten his obsession to advance to level one or higher as soon as possible and go to the Western Islands.

In addition to completing the will of his mentor Moses, Thane also wants to find Lina.

When the dinner was about to be cooked and the broth in the pot began to give off an alluring aroma, a sound of "coo-coo" sounded in the sky, indicating that Qi was back.

Today Qi did not come back empty-handed.

In addition to three blue grasses, Qi also held two red vermilion fruits in her mouth.

Those two red fruits, Thain knew, were the first red fruits to be traded at the small trade fair a few days ago.

As for the other three grasses, Thain identified them and they seemed to be Biyou grass.

This is a relatively low-level, but precious magic material.

According to the illustrated book that Frank gave to Thain, this grass can be held in the mouths of apprentices to increase the efficiency of meditation.

But it is a pity that this kind of grass is only suitable for intermediate apprentices with a mental power of less than 50 points, and Thain himself cannot use it.

"Taking Biyouca directly into the mouth is a very primitive and inefficient way of using it."

"If it can be used as a material to make related magic potions, it will definitely be applicable to senior apprentices like me." Thain said as he took the three grasses.

It is also the acquisition of these three grasses,

The idea of ​​letting Thain dabble in pharmacy became a little deeper.

After putting the three green grasses into the space ring, Thane noticed that the feathers between Qi's wings were a little messy, and there was a trace of blue blood stained on them.

"You fought?" Thain asked in surprise.

"Well, when I was picking this fruit, a snake refused to let me go and struggled with it for a while." Qi lowered her head and combed her feathers.

There are no powerful monsters around, and the snake's level is probably not high either.

The blue blood stains on Qi's body were probably from that snake, but I don't know if that snake was killed by Qi.

Seemingly guessing what Thain was thinking, Qi said: "I ate the snake's magic crystal, but it was relatively large, so I didn't bring it back."

Qi's answer left Thain speechless.

I saw Thain saying: "Next time this happens, even if the opponent is huge, you can bring back some valuable parts."

"Don't forget, I am an alchemist." Thane reminded.

"Gugu, I understand, shall I go and bring it back now?" Qi asked.

"Forget it, let's eat first. I see you are also very tired." Thain shook his head and said.

Although Qi is a Warcraft, after getting along with him for a while, it has become accustomed to eating hot food with Thain.

Including the battle just now, it only ate the crystal core of the intermediate monster and did not touch the opponent's flesh and blood.

"Snake meat should be good too. Next time this happens, you can also bring back some of the flesh and blood of Warcraft." During the meal, Thain did not forget to say.

"Gugu." Qi called out, indicating that she understood.

"By the way, among my mentor's relics, there are two pieces of Regan's Reality."

"You said last time that it was useful to you, why didn't you eat it again?" Thain took a sip of the hot soup and suddenly remembered something and asked.

"The last time I said it was useful to me, it was because those two Regan's Essence could effectively speed up the recovery of my injuries."

"But now that we have the Holy Light Badge, there is no need to waste those two Regan's strength." Qi replied.

Then he paused again and continued: "Actually, the real role of Regan's Reality is to help quasi-level monsters like me condense their bloodlines in order to reach a higher realm."

"I feel that I am still far away from the first-order Warcraft. It would be a waste to directly consume Regan Zhi." Qi said.

"Then if you use Regan's essence as the main material to make related Warcraft potions, will your ability to attack first-order Warcraft be increased even more?" Thain asked.

"Maybe." Qi replied.
