The Lord of Ashes

After leaving the underground world, Thane flew straight towards the Ebalut Empire in the north.

The prosperous Ebalut Empire is worthy of the title of "Magic Empire".

Compared to other regions, the atmosphere of spellcasters here is indeed stronger.

And because of the universal promotion of magic, the underlying foundation here is far greater than that of other areas in the wizarding world.

This time when he came to the Ebalut Empire, Thane did not come as an ordinary magician. As a powerful fourth-level spellcaster, when he arrived in a larger southern city in the empire, he revealed that some of the magicians belonged to the fourth level. When he smelled the breath of a super creature, officials from the Ebalut Empire quickly found him.

"Dear Master, how can I help you?" A third-level great magician appeared in front of Thain and asked respectfully.

"I have just been promoted to level four, and I am still selecting a site for the Holy Tower."

"I came to the Ebalut Empire this time because I have longed for the magical environment here, so I came to investigate." Thain said frankly.

Although Thain knew many people in the wizarding world, his connections were not of much help in building the site of the Holy Tower.

Master Jos, the maker of the Formless Mask, was even known to Thain's master Cuilis, and he was probably not a minor player in the Western Islands back then.

But Thain had no intention of going to the Western Isles to build a holy tower, because he was even less familiar with it.

Rather than being in the Western Islands, it would be better to stay in the Conclave of Fire. Anyway, with the help of his master, it wouldn't be much worse.

As for the communication problem with Lina, he and Lina were able to complete the teleportation array to the world of the undead back then. With Thane now promoted to level four, there was of course no big problem.

Although the trouble is a bit troublesome, Thain doesn't care much about the cost of energy crystals now.

Of course, Lina had to take the initiative to come to Thain. If Thain went there, the cost of the teleportation array for a fourth-level creature like him would be a bit overwhelming if used too much.

So for Thane now, his main dilemma is whether to build a holy tower in the Abalut Empire.

Thane's request is definitely not the only case in the Ebalut Empire for thousands of years.

After the third-level great magician showed a look of surprise, he said respectfully, "Please wait a moment. Next, a professional magician from the empire will introduce to you the various benefits of joining the magic empire."

Not long after the third-level great magician left, a demigod-level male magician who was obviously more capable and very young appeared in front of Thain and introduced himself, "Hello, master, my name is Schubert. I am a specialist in the empire." A magician sent to guide you into joining the Magic Empire and answer your questions.”

"My name is Thain, but I haven't completely made up my mind to join the Ebalut Empire for the time being. It's still in the investigation stage." Thain nodded.

"For knowledgeable masters of Level 4 and above to build a holy tower, the most critical factor is to choose a suitable plane node and the policy support they will receive."

"Next, I will take you to visit several plane nodes on the spot, and introduce to you in detail what resources our Ebalut Empire will provide for powerful magicians like you to join." Demigod-level magician Schubert smiled very professionally.

Thain nodded and signaled Schubert to start.

"I would like to ask first, Master, what are the attributes of your original power of law."

"Perhaps my vision is so poor that I can't tell which type of magician you are." Schubert asked politely.

With the mask of formlessness as a cover, Schubert certainly couldn't see through Thain's true nature.

As a ball of ash flames ignited in Thain's hand, Thain said, "My main profession is a fire elementalist, so the choice of plane node is best in a place where the fire law is strong."

"It turns out to be the law of fire, please wait a moment." Schubert said clearly when he saw the ash fire burning in Thain's hand, and then a crystal ball appeared in his hand.

"In the south of the Ebalut Empire, there are still 73 blank fire plane nodes at this time. Four of them are very close to here. How about I take you to see them first?" Schubert fiddled with the crystal in front of him. Ball said.

"Okay." Thain nodded.

To measure whether a world is prosperous or not, we can see the clues from the rule nodes contained in the world.

Just for the Ebalut Empire, there are more than 70 blank fire plane nodes in its south. In other words, these more than 70 blank plane nodes can supply more than 70 level 4 or above fire fighters. Become a magician and build a holy tower.

Of course, data sometimes doesn’t work out that way.

Plane nodes are not valuable, what is truly valuable are those extremely precious and rare rule nodes.

To put it bluntly, among the more than 70 fire nodes, there are no more than 20 that can really be favored by magicians of level 4 or above and be selected as the site for the holy tower.

Building a holy tower doesn't mean you just find a random fire node and make do with it.

The degree of purity of the flame law near the plane node, the surrounding underlying environment, whether any special resources are produced, and what holy towers or knight halls are built in the neighborhood... these are all issues that need to be considered.

While going to nearby plane nodes for inspection, Thane also learned about the talent introduction policy of the Ebalut Empire through the demigod-level magician Schubert.

What is talent? Magicians of level 4 and above like Thane are definitely talents, and they are also the ones that all the major forces try to win over.

The Ebalut Empire is somewhat similar to the Flame Conclave in its policy of co-opting foreign magicians of level four or above.

The Ebalut Empire is also willing to spend at least one million magic coins to provide financial support to the owners of the new holy tower.

One million magic coins is an unimaginable amount of money for many magicians below level 4, but for a new holy tower, it seems a bit insignificant.

The investment cost to build a holy tower is in the tens of millions at least.

The Ebalut Empire has apprentice advantages and environmental advantages, but the cost of building a holy tower here is also several times that of other areas.

However, in addition to the Holy Tower Basic Loan and many other low-interest loans from the Wizards Alliance, the Ebalut Empire will also provide low-interest loans to magicians above level 4 who build holy towers in the empire, which is slightly higher than the Wizards Alliance's low-interest loans. .

"Actually, our Magic Empire also provides interest-free loans to the owners of holy towers, but that requires at least three local holy tower owners as guarantees, and they also need to go to the imperial capital to plead their case."

"The empire will provide all-round support to those magicians with real potential." Schubert said with a smile.

In response, Thain just nodded slightly and did not make any comments.
