The Lord of Ashes

Among the more than 500 official magicians in the Ashes Holy Tower, there are more than 100 who have been recruited in recent years.

There are also more than 70 official magicians who have been independently cultivated by the Ashes Holy Tower for two hundred years since its establishment.

Because these official magicians were of ordinary origin, when they signed a contract with the Holy Tower of Ashes, they had to fulfill their obligations in the Holy Tower of Ashes for at least three hundred years.

There is no way, effort and gain are directly proportional.

The Ashes Holy Tower spent a huge amount of resources in the process of cultivating these official magicians, and these formal and above-level magicians naturally have to repay the efforts of the Ashes Holy Tower.

Moreover, after signing a contract with the Ashes Holy Tower, these Holy Tower magicians are not free labor. They also have their own Holy Tower salary to receive.

The overall benefits of the Holy Tower of Ashes are pretty good.

How to make a holy tower bigger and stronger is accumulated bit by bit like this.

These young magicians trained by the Holy Tower Academy tend to have a stronger sense of belonging to the Holy Tower.

A large proportion of them, even if they start traveling around the wizarding world in the future, will keep their registered identities in the Holy Tower of Ashes. 🄲

Maybe Thane's holy tower will be able to cultivate a demigod-level magician in the future.

Sean and Mellie's singing together was equivalent to completely blocking Chris' mouth.

As Thain guessed, Chris did not have direct evidence that Thain smuggled apprentices.

In fact, it is difficult to convict Thain for this kind of thing.

Some people at the top of the Ebalut Empire don't want to care about this matter. With the 25th Wizards Union Conference about to start and the War of Civilization about to begin, who has time to pay attention to the whereabouts of some apprentices.

The Ebalut Empire has a great cause, and the apprentices who come to the Holy Tower of Ashes in Thane are just a drop in the bucket.

If the Ebalut Empire hadn't taken advantage of the eve of the 25th Wizards Union Conference to conduct a nationwide case investigation, no one would have discovered anything fishy about the Holy Tower of Ashes.

Chris came to Thain this time, naturally not to seek justice for the civilian apprentices who had been kidnapped.

He just wanted to make sure that Thain was a black magician.

If Thane was a level four black magician, his nature would be huge.

Not only the Abarut Empire, but also the Wizards Alliance will send law enforcement experts to cause trouble for Thane.

Black magicians of level four and above openly rob apprentices in the Wizarding Continent.

If this matter is confirmed, a single suite will be reserved for Thain in the deepest part of the Atlanta Interstellar Prison!

And the length of his residence will not be less than ten thousand years.

The rules of the Wizards Alliance are inviolable!

But since coming to the Land of Ashes, based on what he saw and heard, Chris's sense of Thane has changed significantly.

Perhaps this is indeed a fourth-level magician who took advantage of the Abarut Empire and benefited from a large number of apprentices, but Thain and a black magician are really not compatible.

The apprentice crackdown in the Land of Ashes is the real deal.

And judging from the investigation by the Ebalut Empire and the results of divination by several astrologers, Thain is not a fourth-level black magician!

He has a legitimate apprenticeship, a legitimate identity, and even received a ray of light from the plane during his apprenticeship.

Such a fourth-level magician is impeccable. No wonder the upper echelons of the Ebalut Empire don't want to pursue this matter too much.

The prosecutor of the Ebalut Empire, Chris, did not disturb Thain for too long. After obtaining the law enforcement and investigation permission from Thain in the Land of Ashes, Chris immediately led his people to leave the place.

This Abarut prosecutorial team of about two hundred people will probably stay in the Land of Ashes for decades, with the goal of uncovering the apprentice smuggling network and apprehending the second-level magician Boss, who is suspected of major crimes.

Thain nodded in agreement with their request and made a request to Chris that was not too much.

"If it's convenient for you, can you help me clean up the black magicians in this area?"

"You know, because of the guardian rules, we creatures above level four cannot openly attack in the wizarding world."

"Since your prosecutorial team has law enforcement authority, you should be able to take action, right?" Thain asked Chris curiously.

"Of course, if we encounter some cancer, we will help you clean it up, Master Thain." Chris said helplessly.

After watching Chris and others leave, Thain looked at the other person's leaving figure for a long time.

It wasn't until the opponent's group disappeared from sight that Thain raised his right hand.

He moved closer to the silver spider ring and seemed to say something.

Not long after, the master of the Lava Volcano Holy Tower and others came over and asked kindly, "Is everything okay?"

"Nothing, just investigating a black magician activity. As you know, there is some chaos in my Ashland." Thain replied.

Several Holy Tower owners nodded. The Red Gold Dragon Holy Tower owner then smacked his lips and said, "These guys from the Magic Empire are really lenient."

"The activities of black magicians in the Land of Ashes are naturally targeted by Master Thane. Why are they here to join in the fun?"

"If they are really so hostile to black magicians, why don't they go to the outer reaches of the black domain to enforce the law?" The owner of the Red Gold Dragon Holy Tower seemed to be a person with an upright temper.

When he finished speaking, several other Holy Tower owners nodded in approval.

The strong men of the Beren Empire have always been somewhat difficult to deal with the strong men of the Ebalut Empire. This is probably due to the competitive relationship between the Beren Empire and the Ebalut Empire since ancient times.

Thinking about it, the closest border to the Land of Ashes is the Belen Empire. The top power of the Belen Empire has not interfered too much in the Davill area. What are these powerful people from the Magic Empire doing here?

"It's just an ordinary investigation. Don't worry about it. Let's continue to watch this regional academy war." Thain said with a smile.

During the conversation with the tower owners, Thain cast a reassuring look at Meili beside him.

…

This regional Holy Tower Academy War lasted for a total of three years and four months.

This was a regular apprentice war, during which no changes occurred, and no particularly eye-catching "desperate" apprentices appeared.

The so-called Desperate Apprentices are genius apprentices who, during their apprenticeship, can exert a combat power that exceeds that of the apprentice and reaches a level that threatens living creatures above level one.

Apprentices of this level may not appear in hundreds of years. It is normal that there is no academy war this time.

On the other hand, there were many peak apprentices.

What is quite surprising is that many of these peak apprentices came from Thain's Holy Tower of Ashes.

The Ashes Holy Tower, which participated in the regional academy war for the first time, was an upset.

In total apprentice points, the Holy Tower of Ashes ranked second, second only to the Holy Tower of Lava Volcano.

But the average points gained by apprentices, the Holy Tower of Ashes ranks first!

Such results far left the Purple Calyx Flower Holy Tower, which was also participating in the academy war for the first time.

The owner of the Purple Calyx Holy Tower, who was sprayed with the fragrance of the nobles of the Belen Empire, looked a little bad after the regional Holy Tower Academy war ended.

Because of his Holy Tower Academy, he took away two first places - the one from the bottom.

Ranking first in total personal points is an ice magic apprentice from the Flowing Waterfall Holy Tower.

However, the second and third ranked ones both come from the Holy Tower of Ashes.

Dean Meili's vision before the apprenticeship war started was indeed correct. The quasi-magician Cohen and the senior female apprentice named Amiya won these two dazzling rankings respectively.

In particular, the one-armed female apprentice Amiya, as a senior apprentice, defeated dozens of quasi-magician-level apprentices in this academy war.

His talent and fighting skills are remarkable.
