The Lord of Ashes

As Thain and this level five giant beast stared at each other, the giant beast couldn't help but twitch its nose a few times.

The huge red nose gives this giant beast a keen sense of smell and judgment that are beyond ordinary creatures.

After staring at Thain for a long time and sniffing Thain's magic robe, the giant beast asked strangely, "It's strange. The aura on your body is indeed still at level three, but why was there something beyond the level just now?" Boundary power explosion?”

The Knight Continent Trial Area is an important secret place for wizard civilization to cultivate future generations of geniuses. It obviously also has supervisors and protectors.

This level five big-nosed beast is the supervisor of the nearby area, and its immediate boss is a cow.

The concealment function possessed by the Formless Mask was such that even this big-nosed giant beast could not detect any clues.

This is the wisdom of Master Jos. Due to the secret realm he set up, only creatures below level four can participate.

In order to prevent the successors of the truth he selected from being targeted by higher-level life forms prematurely because he carries a heavy treasure.

Therefore, the Formless Mask theoretically has the ability to cover up the perception of level six creatures.

As for domination-level life forms above level seven...of course they are not covered by the Formless Mask.

Master Jos himself is not a master. If even the master's perception can be easily obscured, this formless mask should be a hidden treasure rather than a functional secret treasure.

Faced with the big-nosed beast's inquiry, Thane chuckled and said, "Maybe the magic I just used was too powerful."

"We were just discussing academic research."

"It is possible for magicians to leverage higher levels of elemental energy with wisdom and knowledge of truth at a lower level of life." Thain said with a smile.

In response to Thain's remarks, the big-nosed beast glanced at the six deep pits behind Thain, as well as the third-level great magician who was injured but not dead.

Then he nodded, as if he really believed it!

Thain did not kill these magicians, which was a very wise thing.

If he really does this, not only will he be in trouble when he goes out in the future, but the current level five beast will not be so easy to talk to.

Naturally, you can be as ruthless as you want to creatures that are hostile to civilization, but you can't do it to your own people who are of the same civilization.

This is the benefit brought by rules, and sometimes it is also the disadvantage.

"I have seen a few magicians who can perform beyond their limits, but you are the most ordinary among them."

"Okay, I suggest you not use this kind of dangerous magic in the trial area after this."

"In more than twenty years, this trial area will be closed. Don't bring me any trouble." The big-nosed beast looked at Thain with wide eyes and said.

Although Thain's aura was the most inconspicuous among the many magicians present, he could feel that this little guy was the most dangerous one among everyone present.

It's not that this level five behemoth has keenly detected the critical aura hidden under Thane's phaseless mask.

It says this purely out of intuition.

"Okay, I promise, as long as others don't cause trouble for me." Thain glanced at the many magicians behind him and replied.

The big-nosed beast then exhaled a large wave of air. After it glanced at the many trial magicians behind Thain, it stretched its wings behind its back and flew away.

After the giant beast left, Thain called for Lina and Green to leave this place as well.

Now that the secret trial about Master Jos has ended, there is no point in staying here.

…

It was another sunny day, and Thain, Lina, and Green were flying side by side in a low altitude area of ​​the trial area.

Green knew that Thain had a wife named Nataya, and also knew that Thain seemed to be living with his cousin all year round.

Green didn't ask any questions about Lina who appeared next to Thain, and he didn't say much.

Two friends who had not seen each other for many years talked about their experiences over the years.

Except for his experience in Faerûn, which Thain did not discuss with Green, Thain briefly introduced most of the other wars and travels he participated in to Green.

Similarly, Green also talked about his experiences and changes over the years.

"It turns out that Master Archimedes has passed away?" Thain said regretfully.

"Yes, the mentor left a hundred and thirty years ago."

"Before leaving, my mentor spent half of his life savings to send me to the Knights Continent for trial."

"The mentor said that my senior brother and I are his most proud disciples in life." Green said sadly.

Green's senior brother is the fourth-level magician who built the Red Flame Holy Tower, named Freddy.

Green is currently also a registered magician of the Red Flame Holy Tower.

Apart from him, most of the disciples of Master Archimedes are affiliated with the Red Flame Holy Tower.

Master Archimedes played at least 40% of the role that the Red Flame Holy Tower could survive the most difficult period in its early days.

Green has experienced a lot over the years.

He has even been to an exotic low-level plane not marked by the Wizards Union, which was the product of an experimental accident.

After experiencing Master Jos' secret realm inheritance test, Green is only a hair away from the realm of demigods.

Because Green didn't have many friends, and Thain was a very close friend, Green smiled and mentioned that if he invaded that low-level plane in the future, he would definitely ask Thain to join him.

It can also be seen from here that although Green is low-key, he is also a person who is extremely confident in himself.

His words also indicated that he would definitely advance to level four and build his own holy tower.

This is not only Green's path of truth exploration, but also the ardent expectations of his mentor Archimedes before his death.

Green's words made Thain laugh heartily.

Thain thought that the continent of Faerun would inevitably be invaded and conquered by the wizarding civilization in the future, so he put his arm around Green's shoulders and said, "It just so happens that I have a suitable target for invasion here. When I launch an invasion of that plane in the future, I will definitely call you." .”

The two good friends have not seen each other for many years, so naturally their relationship is very harmonious.

Lina's eyes were filled with envy for the friendship between Thane and Green. In the Black Realm, there was no such thing as "friends".

Green didn't have any strange emotions about Thane winning the final trial reward of Master Jos. Originally, this world was for those who were able to win. If he lost to his friends, Green was convinced.

According to what the big-nosed giant beast said, this trial space will be closed in more than twenty years.

Since there was not much time anyway, Green simply accepted Thain's invitation and traveled with them next.

During his travels, what Thain did most often was to conduct experiments that seemed relatively low-level to outsiders.

He was at the critical point of being promoted to the fourth level, and he did not delve into the experimental research on high-level laws above the fourth level as soon as he came up.

What he is mainly doing now is to use the answers provided by Master Jos in the knowledge inheritance to conduct experimental verification of those issues that he had been confused about for a long time in the third level and demigod stages.

Even some of the experiments that first- and second-level magicians would do, Thain would also review.

Although his approach seemed a bit strange to Green and Lina.

But Thain himself enjoyed it and felt unparalleled fulfillment.

This is also another kind of progress and improvement. In this process, Thain's foundation has become more solid!
