The Lord of Ashes

After Capecchi completed the transaction, Thain thought for a while and did not continue to inspect and travel east or west. Instead, he returned directly to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin.

When ideals are broken, everyone should return to reality.

There are actually quite a lot of areas in the Wizarding World that are currently unexplored.

Because the wizarding world is so big.

Even if there are nearly 10,000 holy towers in the mainland, scattered throughout the wizarding world, they still appear to be very sparse.

Many magic apprentices have never come into contact with or seen a holy tower in their entire lives.

In the eyes of most low-level creatures, the Holy Tower is still synonymous with "mystery" and "power".

The area surrounding the Green Source Land is actually an area that has not yet been deeply developed.

The simplest example is that there are no medium-sized or above power organizations established by strong people above level six.

Although there are only a few holy towers that work together to keep warm and often engage in strategic cooperation, the vast majority of holy towers work on their own.

Unless a regional academy war breaks out, apprentices from neighboring holy towers may not see each other for decades.

Because the distance between the two holy towers is too far.

Only magicians of level one or above have the ability to cross different holy tower areas.

…

The high operating costs and the unsatisfactory site for the construction of the holy tower made Thain not stop after returning to the Holy Tower of Green Source, and he intensively devoted himself to the investigation of the surrounding areas of the Land of Green Source.

The Land of Green Source is what Thain is most familiar with, and the one he is closest to is Lu Lianman. Naturally, he will give priority to finding a suitable place to build a holy tower around the Land of Green Source.

As for heading to the Mamet United Alliance or the Western Islands...hell, Thain doesn't even know anyone there, and as the top power in the wizarding world, the operating costs of the Holy Tower will not be much lower.

Instead of choosing those two places, Thane might as well go to the Flame Conclave and defect to his master.

While Thain was inspecting the area around the Land of Green Source, the war in the Flowing World was gradually ending.

Except for a small number of knights and magicians who are still exploring and traveling in that low-level plane.

Most of the magician legions in other major holy towers have returned to the wizarding world during this period.

Lu Lianman also returned to the wizarding world.

Lu Lianman was quite happy to hear that her apprentice was willing to stay in the area around the Green Source Land to build a holy tower.

After all, magicians care more about their inheritance, and Lu Lianman doesn't have any closely involved family behind her. Thain is equivalent to one of the people closest to her.

But seeing Thain struggling to find a suitable site for the Holy Tower around the Land of Green Source, Lu Lianman couldn't help but feel a lot for her apprentice.

To be honest, Thain was promoted quickly and had treasures such as world-class secret treasures, which gave Lu Lianman a lot of face.

But as a mentor, Lu Lianman also knew very well how much effort his disciple had put in behind the scenes.

There is no such thing as instant success in the world, and it is rare to gain great power without any effort.

Thain has been able to reach this point because of his hard work and talent.

There is also a little bit of luck and fighting spirit.

Lu Lianman wanted to do something to help Thain.

Asking herself, Lu Lianman felt that she was quite incompetent as a tutor.

Thain was promoted several times, but she did not have much credit.

Including this promotion to the fourth level, it mainly relies on the inheritance of Wuxiang Mask and the guidance of Cuilis, including the completion of the primitive accumulation of basic law knowledge and resource wealth in Faerûn, which has little to do with her as a mentor.

Feeling a little guilty and extremely distressed for her disciple, Lu Lianman did not rush to deal with the various magic experiments at hand after returning to the wizarding world.

Instead, he followed Thain to conduct inspections around the Land of Green Source.

The area around the Land of Green Source is quite vast, but the abundance of resources here is far inferior to that of the Ebalut Empire.

At the same time, the distribution density of plane nodes here cannot be compared with the territories under the jurisdiction of those top forces.

Master Lu Lianman and Sai En searched for a long time, but failed to find any suitable places.

…

"Why don't you go and take a look at the Flame Conclave? There are a lot of volcanoes there, and many of the earth's laws are also fire-based." Lu Lianman suggested to Thain.

"But that way, I will be further away from you, my mentor."

"Besides, Tourmaline is most likely not used to the scorching fire element environment there." Thain curled his lips and said.

Regardless of whether it was because of deep friendship or profit factors, after Thain established the Holy Tower, he hoped that Tourmaline could stay by his side.

Looking at the various crises that Thain has experienced in the past, it seems that tourmaline has played an indelible role in this process.

Thain is not an astrologer, and rarely dabbles in occultism, but after experiencing so much, Thain can't help but believe that there is a mysterious and mysterious power factor - that is, if he takes Tourmaline with him, he may become luckier.

The power of luck does exist.

Thain had already confirmed this power factor in the goddess of luck in Faerûn.

"But there's no better place, so let's go take a look first." Lu Lianman said with her tired eyebrows twisted.

"If you really don't have one, go to the Western Islands, where Tourmaline's family is mainly established."

"Or, as your master suggests, you can try your luck in the Mamet Alliance." Lu Lianman continued.

"That's all it can do." Thain nodded and replied.

It took several more decades for Thane to travel further around the Conclave of Fire and the Land of Greenland.

But maybe Thain was too harsh in selecting the plane nodes and the surrounding environment. He didn't even find the most perfect and desired site for the holy tower.

In fact, there are a few plane nodes, which is barely enough.

But Thain is not a man who gives in. After much thought, he still did not make a decision blindly.

…

The sky was overcast, and several thick clouds in the distance were slowly approaching this small hill.

The soil on the ground is black and contains extremely high concentrations of heavy metals, making the nearby area a barren land.

Standing at the top of the hillside, Thain couldn't help but sigh.

This is the Darville area.

In the past few decades, Thain has frequently visited the area around the Green Source Land in search of a suitable site for the Holy Tower, and has been here three times.

The Daweil area can also be considered one of the candidates for Thain to build a holy tower.

First of all, it is very close to the Green Source Holy Tower. Going north is the land of Green Source.

Secondly, the geographical environment here is relatively good. To the east is the Belen Empire, to the south is the South Coast, and to the west are several vast forests of Warcraft. There is also great potential for development and exploration.

But similarly, the shortcomings of the Darville area are also obvious.

The population here is not large, and the total population density is far lower than other areas in the Wizarding World.

At the same time, there are a large number of black magicians wreaking havoc here, and there are countless dark creatures and demi-human species in the underground world.

If a holy tower is built here, maintaining stable rule will be a big problem.

Of course, the most troublesome thing is that Thain did not find a suitable plane node here.

The few fire plane nodes were not in line with Thain's psychological expectations.

Sighing again, just when Thain was thinking about going to the south coast or other areas of the Wizarding World, his sharp eyes suddenly saw an underground cave on the hillside in the distance.

That cave reminded Thain of the cave he walked out of the underground world when he was a magic apprentice.

"Forget it, I'm here anyway, let's go to the ruins of Mensobra City." Thain thought.

"I'm not very inspired today, so I won't update. I'll keep working hard tomorrow~"
