The Lord of Ashes

Thain was quite emotional when he heard that Baos purchased the goblin activation potion to extend his lifespan and was successfully promoted at the end of the first level.

The higher the level of life forms, the fewer friends they have.

Because those people who grew up with him are likely to fall behind and fall away.

Selena and others successfully advanced, and Thain was very happy.

But looking at Bos in front of him, Thane couldn't help but think of Merry far away in the Holy Tower of Dawn.

Of the few friends I met when I was a black magic apprentice, now only Meili is left.

It had been many years since he last met Meili, and Thain suddenly wanted to know if his friend was okay.

To be honest, at this stage of Thain, there are really too few people who can be "friends" with him.

The fat Bose in front of him looked more like his subordinate.

Fat Boss didn't have a strong desire to explore the truth, or in other words, the high-quality and comfortable life had worn away the heart of this academy magician who grew up from the bottom.

The sudden wealth and the years of walking on the tightrope made Boss accustomed to lavish spending.

He feels enjoyment is more important now.

Perhaps due to the influence of Baos's temperament, none of Baos' descendants practiced hard, but were all keen on business.

Relying on Boss's connections in the Holy Tower of Dark Fire and some obscure paths left in the Ebalut Empire, a new business family is growing vigorously.

But apart from him, the Boss family does not have a first-level magician or above, which is also a disadvantage.

If we use resources to build a first-level magician... Boss might have been able to do it before.

But since the Dark Fire Holy Tower stopped hunting operations, it has lost a large source of funds, and it seems to be dwarfed by comparison.

After all, Baos is still greedy for enjoyment and wants to maintain his high-quality life. His little savings are currently only enough for himself.

Perhaps, when Bose's life is approaching in the future, he will choose to take out his coffin book to help the younger generations of the family reach a higher level.

Or maybe he continues to buy some life-extending potions to stay alive. Who knows what will happen in the future.

"Are some of your 'friends' in the Ebalut Empire still in contact?" Thain asked.

In front of Thain, a well-informed boss, how could Boss dare to hide anything? He nodded honestly and replied, "It is true that we are still in contact with some, and some of them have been promoted to level two or even level three."

"One of them, I heard, became the vice-president of a public magic academy in the empire." Boss said.

These days, if you have resources, brains, and potential, promotion is a matter of course.

The group of people who collaborated with Boss at the beginning almost made the biggest dividends.

It is not surprising that some of those who have survived to this day have been promoted to level three.

Thain nodded. Seeing that Thain was quite interested in this matter, Bos smiled shyly and said, "Since the Holy Tower of Dark Fire stopped this business, they haven't made much money."

"Although some holy towers have been smuggling apprentices to them over the years, their efforts are not as big as ours. Even they are worried that the Ebalut Empire will cause trouble for them," Bose revealed.

"Oh? There are also other holy towers smuggling apprentices to them?" Thain couldn't help but be surprised.

"Well, I don't know if we made a bad start or if someone has been doing this since ancient times."

"Anyway, since we stopped the hunters, they haven't completely stopped, but they are just not as strong as before." Boss replied.

There are probably only a few fifth-level magicians in the entire wizarding world who are as courageous as the Master of Dark Fire.

The scale of smuggling apprentices in other holy towers is far smaller than that of the Dark Fire Holy Tower, which is reasonable in Thain's opinion.

After exchanging a few words with Bos in front of him, Thain was deeply moved.

Before leaving, Thain thought for a while and left a crystal ball for the other party.

This crystal ball is one of the few magic tools that Thain took the time to make after he was promoted to level four.

It does not have any combat capabilities and only has communication functions.

It is an ultra-long-distance communication device that ignores geographical areas.

In theory, it even has the ability to communicate directly with an alien plane that is relatively close to the wizarding world.

This is a means of making and using magic weapons that only creatures of level four or above have.

As for the mid-range star field plane that is far away from the wizarding world, or the long-distance communication props outside the extreme star field, Thain has not yet been able to develop them.

For that level of cross-dimensional communication, crystal balls and other magical devices alone may not be enough, but must also rely on the power of formations.

Leaving this crystal ball for Boss, Thain vaguely felt that he should still be able to use him in the future.

Not only the crystal ball, Thain also left several high-level magic materials for Bos.

Thain has gradually looked down on these materials that are suitable for the first and second levels, but Baos and his family members will definitely use them.

Especially those blood descendants of Baos.

After respectfully watching Thain leave, looking at the pile of magic materials in front of him, Baos put away most of them, and then called his beloved grandson over.

…

After leaving the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, Thane thought about it and did not immediately go to the Ebalut Empire. Instead, he revisited his old place and went to the underground world around the Holy Tower of Dark Fire.

The underground city built by followers of Spider Queen Rose is still there.

This underground city was probably torn down and destroyed, and was later rebuilt.

The huge full-body statue of Rose, the Spider Queen, amazed Thane.

The sculptures and craftsmanship of these underground creatures are of good quality, and they perfectly express the cool charm of the Spider Queen.

Looking at the giant statue in front of him, Thane had to sigh that the Spider Queen was really beautiful.

If only she could stay in human form.

Thane could never forget the full fighting posture displayed by the Spider Queen when he was hunting the goddess of night and cats.

With the Silver Spider Ring as a token, after arriving in the underground world, Thane was completely treated as a noble divine envoy by the dark creatures and demi-humans here.

A large number of tributes were offered by these creatures in the underground world.

But nowadays, Thain no longer despises this thing.

Looking at the full-length portrait of the Spider Queen and her gorgeously decorated temple, Thane suddenly had the idea to use the silver spider to try to communicate with the Spider Queen.

Logically speaking, the Silver Spider Ring was worn by Thane on his finger, and the Spider Queen had the ability to communicate with him at any time.

But since returning to the wizarding world, the Spider Queen has never taken the initiative to contact Thane once.

I don't know if the Spider Queen is still busy with her things.

Thain has not forgotten that before leaving the Tower of True Spirit in the Black Realm, the middle god Dark Night and the Cat Goddess were captured by the Spider Queen, but they had not yet been completely refined by the Spider Queen.

Originally, he just tried to contact him on a whim. Unexpectedly, this time, the Spider Queen actually responded to him.
