The Lord of Ashes

Twenty years passed in a blink of an eye.

For Thain, it is just a time spent on several small experimental projects, but for some people, it is the most important period of time in their lives.

"Are there any good ideas in this academy war?" Thane asked Meili.

As the dean, Meili had just completed a pre-war mobilization rally not long ago.

Looking at these immature and young children, Meili couldn't help but feel much younger.

"The overall apprenticeship level in our Holy Tower of Ashes is pretty good. There are seven quasi-magicians and 21 advanced apprentices."

"The total number of apprentices participating in the academy war this time is 3,182, ranking third among the six Holy Tower academies." Meili introduced.

"As for outstanding seeds... I am more optimistic about these two guys this time." Meili raised her right hand, and the faces of two young magic apprentices, a man and a woman, emerged in the emerald green elemental light curtain. 🄳

To say that they are "young" is only relative to Thane and Meili. In fact, the male apprentice in the elemental light curtain looks like a middle-aged man.

He actually looks a bit "older" than Thane.

This is a little guy who has reached the level of a quasi-magician. According to Meili, he is only 39 years old this year.

It is already very good to be able to reach the level of a quasi-magician at this age. No wonder Mei Li is more optimistic about him.

However, the most outstanding thing about this magic apprentice named Cohen is not his talent for training, but his frequent participation in apprentice trials initiated by the Holy Tower of Ashes in the past fifteen years.

Moreover, the academy missions performed are often extremely dangerous black magician annihilation missions.

On Cohen's cheek, there is a scar and scratch extending from the corner of his eye to his lip. It was caused by a black magic apprentice who was a quasi-magic during an apprenticeship mission seven years ago.

It was a leapfrog battle for Cohen, but the result was that Cohen successfully killed the opponent and brought back the opponent's head.

Wandering in dark and dangerous areas for a long time caused Cohen to suffer great physical wear and tear.

Therefore, he has a more obvious aging appearance at the age of less than forty years old.

Some magicians who pay attention to maintenance, regardless of gender, will look youthful and beautiful when they are in their fifties or sixties.

Cohen is clearly a magician who doesn't care much about his appearance.

In addition to Cohen, the other female apprentice that Meili showed to Thane was a senior apprentice whose right arm was broken and only one left arm was left.

This female apprentice is relatively thin, but her temperament is extremely strong and cold.

Thain actually had some impression of this female apprentice. He pointed at the female apprentice in the elemental light screen and couldn't help but ask, "Is this female apprentice..."

Melly obviously knew what Thain was going to ask, she smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, she is the female apprentice brought back by magician Flack. I heard that Flack has accepted her as his disciple.

"It's a pity. Originally, I was very concerned about this child and wanted to observe it first," Meili said.

The two apprentices, a man and a woman, are both outstanding.

Although these two little guys have not reached the limit of the apprentice level in terms of magic power, mental power and other index fields, measuring combat effectiveness does not just rely solely on data.

Both little guys have cases of leapfrogging challenges and succeeding.

That little girl defeated two quasi-mage brothers who were older than her in the academy challenge stage, and thus gained some resources from Ashes Holy Tower Academy.

The regional Holy Tower College War is not just about measuring and teaching a Holy Tower, but also the teaching work and overall teaching quality in recent decades.

If a few exceptionally outstanding apprentice seeds could emerge during the war, both the master of the Holy Tower and the dean of the academy would be honored.

This is the first time for Ashes Holy Tower and Purple Calyx Flower Holy Tower to participate in this academy war.

Not only to give face to the two Holy Tower Masters, but also to promote the harmonious relationship between the Holy Towers in the surrounding area, all six Holy Tower Masters came to the secret trial realm in person, and no one was absent.

…

When Thane arrived over the secret trial realm, five fourth-level magicians from the Beren Empire had already arrived in advance.

Thain was not late, it could only be said that they all arrived too early.

The five holy towers that participated in the Academy War are all located on the southwestern border of the Beren Empire.

Thain does not yet know how many holy towers there are in the Beren Empire.

However, judging from the fact that the Mamet United Alliance has thousands of holy towers, the Belen Empire is also an established top power in the wizarding world, so there should not be much difference.

It's just that compared to the Mamet Alliance, the Belen Empire is more powerful because of their knight corps.

Among the five tower owners of the Belen Empire's Holy Tower, only the tower owner of the Xiyue Holy Tower is a young woman, and the other four are all men.

Thain communicated with the owner of the Purple Calyx Holy Tower for a while.

This is the first time that both of their academies have participated in the Academy War. The highlight of this Academy War is probably the two of them.

Many people are curious about what ranking they will achieve.

According to the practice of previous college wars, the two holy towers participating for the first time won the titles of last and second last respectively, which would not cause ridicule, because this is too normal.

The owner of the Purple Calyx Flower Holy Tower is a relatively short male magician with a very delicate face.

Describing it as "refined" might not be the right word, but this guy certainly fits that description, and he even has a weird incense about him.

Thain was not used to smelling it, but it was a popular spice among the upper-class nobles of the Beren Empire in the past thousand years.

When asked why the other party named his holy tower "Purple Calyx Flower Holy Tower", Thain got the answer that the family of this fourth-level magician in the Beren Empire was called "Purple Calyx Flower Holy Tower". Calyx family".

"What about you, Master Thain? Why did you name your holy tower the Holy Tower of Ashes?" the owner of the Purple Calyx Tower asked with a smile.

The college war has not yet begun, but there is already a vague comparison between the two.

"Because the power of the original law I control is the power of ashes." Thain replied, and at the same time, a group of gray flames appeared from Thain's palm.

This flame that seemed to have no temperature actually caused the expressions of the other five level four magicians around to change slightly.

They are all fourth-level creatures. These five holy tower masters can obviously feel the violent and exaggerated power contained in the flames of Thane's ashes.

Judging from the legal attributes alone, Thain, who had just been promoted to level four, was actually the most outstanding one among the six.

"Haha, Master Thain's power of ashes is really special. It just so happens that I am also exploring the mysteries of the fire element."

"After this regional Holy Tower Academy war is over, we may be able to find an opportunity to discuss and learn from each other." The master of the Lava Volcano Holy Tower laughed and stood up to smooth things over.
