The Lord of Ashes

Cohen is a low-level magic apprentice in the Holy Tower of Ashes. He is 18 years old this year.

Ever since the magician of the Holy Tower of Ashes rescued him from the black magician five years ago, the little guy has come to the Holy Tower of Ashes to learn magic.

Oh, and by the way, Cohen wasn't the only lucky one to be rescued.

At that time, there were a whole boatload of apprentices, more than two hundred people in total, who were rescued and sent to the Holy Tower of Ashes together with him. 🄼

Five years of studying at the Holy Tower of Ashes allowed Cohen to know what kind of place he had come to, and even more clearly what kind of place the "Daville Area", the predecessor of the Land of Ashes, was.

This information is detailed in the library of the Holy Tower of Ashes.

Cohen is lucky, and he is also full of gratitude to the Holy Tower of Ashes.

Because the five years of schooling and the many examples encountered in daily study all indicate how miserable these little guys would have ended up if they had not been rescued by the Holy Tower of Ashes and fell into the hands of the black magician.

Cohen is not the only one who has this idea, including the vast majority of apprentices in the Holy Tower of Ashes, who have a grateful heart and a strong sense of belonging to their Holy Tower.

Among the apprentice tasks issued by the Holy Tower of Ashes, the largest number of trial tasks are related to the investigation of "black magicians" and the tasks of clearing dark creatures in the Land of Ashes.

Of course, the characters left to the apprentices to deal with cannot be too strong.

Those so-called "black magicians" are basically apprentice-level black magicians.

But despite this, the extremely vicious and extremely ruthless black magicians also caused great damage to the little guys in the Holy Tower of Ashes.

Among the trial tasks issued by the academy, the one with the highest casualty rate is the black magician tracking task.

The second is the dark creature encirclement and suppression mission, and the last is the World of Warcraft clearing mission.

Compared with the Hungui monsters and dark creatures in the underground world that are causing trouble, the black magicians who seem to be "the same kind" as these apprentices are more difficult to deal with.

Cohen is a low-level magic apprentice, so he cannot take on the task of tracking down the black magician.

In the Ashes Holy Tower, only intermediate and above apprentices have this qualification.

Although he has never participated in it, through the introduction of some senior brothers and sisters, Cohen can roughly understand how dangerous such tasks are.

Even a senior senior sister he had become friends with once brought him some crystal ball images that recorded the black magician's secret laboratory.

The bloody scenes recorded in the crystal ball made Cohen vomit three times. After reading it, his face turned pale and his steps were a little erratic.

There are also anatomy-related courses in the public classes at the Holy Tower of Ashes.

However, for lower-grade magic apprentices, the main objects they dissect are frogs and rabbits.

The process of dissecting such animals will not have a strong impact on these inexperienced little guys.

When Cohen took the anatomy experiment class before, he didn't have any strong feelings.

But after seeing those pictures of the black magician's underground laboratory, Cohen not only stayed awake for several days, but also developed a great resistance to the anatomy experiment class.

Cohen, who had good academic performance in all aspects, had a very poor score in anatomy during the mid-term exam a month ago, and even failed.

This made a certain first-level magician who was secretly more optimistic about Cohen couldn't help but sigh.

On this day, Cohen, who was going to Holy Tower College for classes as usual, suddenly saw a red figure when he and his roommates were about to enter the main teaching building.

Cohen, who immediately abandoned his chattering roommate with a loud mouth, quickly chanted and blessed himself with a 'Light Body Technique', and rushed in front of him.

This magic apprentice in a red dress is Cohen's senior sister named Verit, who is a powerful intermediate apprentice.

When Cohen first came to the Holy Tower of Ashes, he received great care from him.

They met in the Holy Tower Library. Veriter, who was already an intermediate magic apprentice at that time, took great care of Cohen because his appearance was very similar to her brother.

Especially Cohen's brown curly hair, which was exactly the same as her brother's, made Veriter couldn't help but feel a fondness for this little guy.

Similar to Cohen's situation, Verit was also a kidnapped apprentice rescued by the Holy Tower of Ashes.

However, they are not from the same place.

Verit, who is nearly ten years older than Cohen, had actively participated in various apprentice trial tasks assigned by the Holy Tower of Ashes as early as three years ago.

It has to be said that the overall difficulty of the apprentice trial tasks in the Ashes Holy Tower is more than one step ahead of other Holy Tower academies!

In other Holy Tower academies, the trials for apprentices were still limited to killing thieves and collecting low-level magic materials.

The magic apprentices in the Holy Tower of Ashes are already facing off against the black magicians in the Land of Ashes and the dark creatures in the underground world.

The high-intensity trial tasks have caused the apprentices in the Holy Tower of Ashes to lose their jobs at a very high rate.

Fortunately, the benefits of the Holy Tower of Ashes are quite good, and high risk means high reward.

Cohen's senior sister, Verit, seemed to have just completed a trial mission. She and her companions were not only dusty, but several of them were even injured.

Verritt was also injured, but it was only a minor injury. There was a bloody mark on her left arm, which was covered by the magic robe.

When Cohen appeared, Verritt walked out from the surrounding companions and slapped Cohen hard on the head.

"I heard that you failed one subject in the public course?!" Verit put his hands on his hips and lectured Cohen in front of him.

A few years ago, Cohen was a head shorter than Veriter, but in recent years, Cohen has grown faster and faster, and he is almost taller than Veriter.

Verritt regarded Cohen as a younger brother. Of course she would be a little angry if this guy failed in his grades.

"It's anatomy...I will try my best to make up for this subject later." Cohen scratched his head and said with some embarrassment.

"I shouldn't have shown you the crystal ball last time. You brat's ability to withstand it is worse than I thought!" Veriter poked Cohen's forehead with her finger.

Cohen was giggling on the spot. It had been too long since he had seen Verritt, and Cohen also missed his senior sister.

"After you come back this time, you shouldn't go out for a while, right?"

"I'm a little confused about the basic matrix of the wind element, and I want you, senior sister, to help me with some lessons," Cohen said.

"Not yet. We have just cooperated with Master Dodge and tracked down a black magician's lair. We have already notified the academy."

"I may have to go out again next time."

"Wait until I come back. When I come back, I will give you extra lessons." Verita pinched Cohen's face and said.

She had pinched her brother like this before, but Cohen was 18 years old this year, and he was considered a little adult. Halfway through the pinch, Verritt also realized that her action was a little inappropriate, so she gradually let go of her hand. .

Behind the two of them, the preparation bell of Holy Tower Academy rang.

Cohen had to go to the classroom as soon as possible. After telling his senior sister, Cohen hurried back. The time limit for his light body technique was not over yet, so it shouldn't be a problem to get to the classroom in time.

Before entering the teaching building, Cohen looked back at his senior sister again.

Verritt also seemed to notice Cohen's stop and waved to him.

With a hint of joy on his face, Cohen plunged into the Holy Tower teaching building.
