The Lord of Ashes

"The construction of the Land of Ashes is still in its initial stages. Is it too early to build a floating port now?" Thain asked hesitantly.

"It's not early. The location of Ashland is very clever, but the level of development here is very low."

"We cannot rely on the natural vitality of the local economy, we must rely on stimulation from external forces."

"Building multiple floating ports will be conducive to the development of our place. I would also like to ask you, as the Ashes Holy Tower, to purchase a large number of floating ships for transportation or other matters." The goddess of wealth talked eloquently.

Vol'jin explained to Thane in detail why the money should be spent and how it should be spent.

Although the overall performance of Woking has been good over the years with the support of Thane's wealth.

But so far, she hasn't made any money for Thain, she's just spending money blindly.

However, the area around Thane's visible Ashes Tower has become more prosperous.

During the short period of time when Thain followed Lu Lianman to the Holy Tower of Light above the ground, Vol'jin even finalized a deal for a batch of solid sand worm slime and orcs.

The millions of tons of solidified sand worm slime were sold to the bear tribe in the orc world, and the half-orcs only acted as intermediaries.

The goddess of wealth once suggested to Thane that he could completely bypass the orcs and actively try to contact the bears in the orc world.

It would be best to find a Ursine God to negotiate directly.

But Thane rejected the goddess of wealth's offer, allowing her to continue trading with the orcs.

Vol'jin values ​​​​the value of wealth more, but Thain also values ​​​​some other interests.

Earning magic coins is just a way for Thane to become stronger, not his main purpose.

Regarding the "Grand Development Plan for the Land of Ashes" proposed by Vol'jin, Thane pondered for a long time and finally nodded in agreement.

He handed over nearly 10 million magic coins to Wojin, plus the loan from Spider Queen Rose that was about to arrive, which was enough for this goddess of wealth from the Faerun continent to do a lot!

After receiving Thane's authorization, Vol'jin's beautiful face turned red.

It's all exciting.

Although Spider Queen Rose also gave her other clone a large amount of magic currency resources to operate, the freedom she was allowed to exert was far from as high as it was here in Thane.

In addition, working under Rose, Vol'jin did not dare to overdo it to enhance his power of law.

Invisibly, Wo'jin's talents were not fully developed under Rose.

…

After handing over his money to Vol'jin for operation, Thane once again devoted himself to experimental research.

He is indeed very similar to the Master of Dark Fire back then. Although he has the experience of being the dean of the Holy Tower, Thane prefers to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Fifty-one years passed unknowingly after this investment in the experiment.

As he was promoted to level four, it seemed that his usual experimental time span had become longer.

Fifty-one years later, Thain did not leave the laboratory on his own initiative, but was visited by a friend.

There are very few people in the wizarding world who can call Thain friends at this stage, and most of them are powerful people above level four.

But this time, the one who visited the Holy Tower of Ashes was a magician below level four.

The arrival of the other party made Thain both surprised and delighted.

The person who came to visit Thain was Meili, who had been promoted to level three.

At this time, Meili was no longer the young and beautiful girl in Sean's memory.

In the process of being promoted to the third level, Meili may have been traumatized by damaging her life source, so that she now has some small wrinkles on her face.

However, the overall temperament is more mature.

Meili came to the Holy Tower of Ashes with her junior sister.

After a conversation, Thain learned that Meili's mentor had passed away. He died of natural causes and was considered to have died.

"After finishing my tenure at Qiming Holy Tower, I plan to go to Jizhiyuan Holy Tower to meet my old friends."

"I didn't expect to learn that you had been promoted to level four and established the Ashes Holy Tower."

"Why didn't you tell me when you were building the Holy Tower? Are you a little tired of me as an old friend?" Meili said angrily to Thane.

"No, no, I was really busy at the time. This was an oversight on my part." Thain apologized hastily.

In fact, Thain didn't forget, but was a little worried that Meili had died.

After all, the last time they met, Meili was only at level one, and so many years have passed...

There are always some people who will gradually fall behind and disappear as they grow up. Although Thain looks strong on the surface, he is actually an emotional person deep down.

It's just that there are fewer and fewer people to whom he can reveal his true feelings.

Meili is one of them.

After hurriedly bringing this topic to an end, Thane asked, "The Holy Tower of Enlightenment? Weren't you in the Holy Tower of Dawn before?"

"I transferred to the Holy Tower of Enlightenment five hundred years ago. This was my mentor's last wish before his death."

"I also successfully advanced to the third level in Qiming Holy Tower. Master Midici helped me a lot." Meili said.

"By the way, the Holy Tower of Enlightenment is the Holy Tower built by Master Midici." Meili added.

"Has Master Midici been promoted to level four?" Thain sighed.

In terms of the time it takes to advance to the fourth level, Master Midic is much earlier than Thane.

Thain also basically doesn't return to the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade now. He doesn't know that Master Johnny, as the deputy dean, has officially submitted his resignation to Lu Lianman.

The next step for Master Johnny is to go to the Enlightenment Holy Tower of his good friend Midici to serve as the dean.

In fact, before coming to the Holy Tower of Ashes, Master Midici had already retained Meili and promised her that she could serve as the deputy dean.

Level three great magicians are also rare and powerful in Qiming Holy Tower.

Regarding the construction environment of the Holy Tower, Master Midici, who built the Holy Tower earlier than Thain, is no better than Thain.

However, Master Midici has joined the Dawn Conclave, and is also a fourth-level magician trained by the Dawn Conclave, so he has received a lot of resources.

This made the initial development of his holy tower much better than others.

Faced with Master Midici's attempt to stay, Meili finally refused. She chose to follow her own thoughts and come to the Holy Tower of Ashes.

The only person who came at the same time as Meili was her junior sister.

After the death of their mentor, the two became inseparable over the years.

The arrival of an old friend made Thain very happy. He took out two recovery potions that Lu Lianman made when he was in the White Sand World and stuffed them into Meili's hands.

"If your life source is damaged, these two potions should be able to help you a lot." Thain said.

When Thain and Meili's hands touched, Meili's face turned visibly red.

Regarding this old friend who has been promoted to the third level, Thain couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any ideas about taking up the position of dean of my Ashes Holy Tower Academy?"

"Huh? But... I have no experience." Meili was stunned and replied.

Don't look at the fact that before leaving the Holy Tower of Kaiming, Midici promised Bili that she could be the deputy dean, but in fact, Meili had no relevant work experience before.

However, she is a studious and gentle person, and she helped a lot with the construction of the college during her time at the Qiming Holy Tower.

Midic also said this because he took a fancy to Meili's talent.

"I believe you can do a good job. My Holy Tower of Ashes started late, and I need more help from old friends like you."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly." Thain smiled.
