The Lord of Ashes
Chapter 124: All benefit and no harm
"Crack!" The sound of the whip whip appeared on the stone bridge outside Grant Castle.
With the release of fighting spirit and the power of magic elements, the originally flat and white stone bridge soon became pitted.
Earl Grant was undoubtedly a noble knight who had experienced many battles.
Although he used an unconventional weapon such as a riding crop, he was very skillful in the strength and direction of his fighting spirit in each attack.
Apart from that, he was still able to fight with ease. Tell Thane where his weaknesses are and where he can improve.
Unfortunately, even though Thain has lived in the underground world of Mensobra for more than ten years, after all, unlike Count Grant, those ten years were all coming from the war.
Experimentation and research are what spellcasters like Thain spend most of their time doing.
Including Thain, who is relatively ruthless in his attacks and fights, he only fits the temperament of a black magic apprentice.
Unlike his father, Earl Grant, he was not a completely professional soldier.
Earl Grant relied on the profound fighting spirit of the quasi-knights and his countless rich combat experience to finally suppress the arrogance of Thane, who had come to Grant's leadership.
At first, Thane was a little dissatisfied with Earl Grant's tips and instructions during the battle.
However, it was always difficult for him to break through Earl Grant's fighting spirit and riding crop.
Even an arrogant high-level magic apprentice like Thain has to admit that the height his father has reached in the field of combat is not something that he, who is only twenty-five years old, can surpass.
Of course, for magicians, the most important thing is knowledge.
knowledge is power.
As long as Thane continues to learn and grow, he will one day surpass his father.
"My mental power and magic power are almost exhausted. Is this the level of fighting spirit of a quasi-knight?" Thain couldn't help but think in his heart when he once again threw out a mid-level magic of Fire Hand.
"No, the average quasi-knight should not be like this. The ability to reach this level is also related to the degree of condensation of his purple flame fighting spirit, and the strength of each release of fighting spirit, which is just right." Thain shook his head and thought.
The horsewhip filled with purple fire threw a whip in the air and directly defeated Thain's intermediate magic hand of fire.
Faced with Thain's performance, Earl Grant once again commented: "The attack power of this intermediate magic is good, but I found a problem."
"
You only mastered one high-level magic, right? "
"Including the high-level magic you used to hurt Carter just now, it should also be the offensive magic that comes with the magic wand, right?"
"This is why you mainly use intermediate magic."
"Yes, you are only twenty-five years old this year, and it is already very rare for you to be promoted to a senior apprentice."
"How can it be possible to master too many complex and obscure advanced magics? Logically speaking, the promotion of a magic apprentice is much more difficult than that of a knight's squire." Earl Grant said.
Earl Grant's words basically revealed all the details about Thain.
This also shows that he suppressed Thain from all sides.
Thain seems to have exhausted all means, but Earl Grant has not yet exhausted all his efforts.
Faced with this situation, Earl Grant did not want to have a tense relationship with his son who had just reunited.
The earl slowed down his attack and said, "Stay. With the power and background of the Grant family, we can help you find several high-level magic spell models."
"And I know that magicians' research and experiments are very expensive."
"In the name of the Earl and Lord Grant, I can allocate 50,000 gold coins to you every year for research expenses." Earl Grant promised.
The gold coins of the Lycian League are still very strong, especially since the terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, and there is a lot of grain.
In terms of the value of gold coins, the currency of the Lycian Union is more valuable than the Western French coins of the Kingdom of Western France, and is only slightly less valuable than the Ordinary Gold of the Oak Empire.
Fifty thousand gold coins per year is already an extremely exaggerated figure.
Many poor little nobles may not have so much wealth in their families.
And with such an investment of gold coins, not to mention senior apprentices, even quasi-magicians might be tempted.
After all, Earl Grant was right, the magicians' research and experiments cost too much money.
After all, there are only a few people like Thain who have a mine in their family and inherit a rich inheritance from their mentor.
The vast majority of magic apprentices spend nearly half of their lives not on experimental research, but on obtaining resources and corresponding experimental materials.
This situation is actually normal for those who have reached the level of a formal magician or above.
In addition to fifty thousand gold coins, the power and connections possessed by the Grant family cannot be measured by ordinary money.
For example, Earl Grant can find a way to get Thain rare experimental materials needed for research, or rare
Expensive energy crystal.
As for this ability, some down-and-out little nobles or the unorganized magic apprentices behind them would never dare to even think about it.
What's more important is that all this is for free, no need for Thain to pay anything!
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Thain's agreement to return to the family is a matter of great benefit and no harm.
Aren’t magicians synonymous with reason and erudition?
Thain should be able to figure this out.
Earl Grant thought he had conquered Thane, whether in battle or in other fields.
But the earl obviously didn't know what exactly Thain had gone through over the years, and he didn't know anything about Thain's background.
The property of an earl family...
Hum, if Thane discounts all the mentor relics in his space bracelet and the thirty secondary energy crystals, I don't know how much this huge Earl's castle can be worth.
Earl Grant slowed down his attack, and Thain also took a few steps back after releasing a fireball.
It was obvious that Earl Grant had no intention of harming Thane.
His riding whip was always aimed at the magic released by Thain. The whip containing the purple flame fighting spirit never fell on Thain.
However, Thain still had most of his thoughts on leaving. As his mental power and magic power were exhausted, Thain could not continue to spend so much time with Earl Grant.
A simple black magic wand was taken out from the space bracelet by Thane.
This is one of the two magic wands that Moses left to Thane.
Another more offensive metal magic wand, Thain has not yet fully mastered it.
On the other hand, Thane has figured out the general purpose of this black magic wand, and with the mental strength of his senior apprentice, he can barely control it.
In addition to a restorative body regeneration magic, the black magic wand also contains two other spontaneous magics.
One is the offensive formal magic fire blast, and the other is the functional formal magic gale song.
The mental power required for the Fire Impact is too high, and the magic power consumption is also too high. Thain is obviously unable to afford it in his current state.
And this level of formal magic...unless Thane wanted to destroy half of the Earl's castle.
As for the other wind-attributed Great Wind Song magic, the mental power required is not high, and in terms of power and performance, it is more suitable for Thain in the current situation.
