The Lord of Ashes

Earl Grant and Sauron only stayed in the castle for a week before returning to the frontline battlefield again.

This time, the Oak Empire seemed to be coming with force, even launching a strong attack in the snowy winter.

Strong men like Earl Grant were needed on the front line. Before leaving, Thain personally sent the Earl and others outside the castle.

After the Earl and others left, Thain spent nearly two months in the castle for personal research and study.

This winter, although the snow fell relatively thickly, the overall temperature was not too low.

According to the judgment of experienced farmers in Grantland, next year will be another bumper harvest year.

The Lycian Union's food production exceeds that of several surrounding human countries.

Sometimes, not only merchants from the Kingdom of Western France and the Oak Empire would come to the Lycian Alliance to purchase food.

Even countries further away would come to the Lycian League to do business in certain years.

In the last two months at Earl's Mansion, Thain did not do any targeted experimental research.

The advanced magic Eye of the Sun finally achieved staged results through his experiments and failures again and again.

Regarding the spell model of this advanced magic, Thain has roughly completed it in his mind.

In the past two months, Thain has been doing relatively leisurely things.

Conduct some simple alchemy experiments, or make new interpretations on a magic book you have already read.

Not to mention, the gains gained from these two months are no less than those gained from Thain's hard work on some high-end magic.

Also two months later, after leaving a letter to Earl Grant, Thain set out to leave the Earl's castle where he had lived for more than half a year.

The night before Thain left, a very rare banquet was held in the Earl's Castle.

It was not Thain who wanted to hold this farewell banquet, it was his stepmother who pushed and hosted it.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Tiya was sincere or not, during the banquet, the other party said that the high tower in the castle would be kept for him forever.

And I look forward to Thain being able to return to the castle one day in the future.

Mrs. Tiya's performance made Thain smile.

He raised the red wine glass, touched it lightly to his stepmother, and said, "I will, madam."

…

When leaving the next day, Old John drove a giant luxury carriage and took Thain toward the northeast of the Lycian League.

The Holy Tower of Blue Origin is not in any way

Within the West Asian Alliance, although the Lycian Alliance can barely be regarded as the area radiated by the power of the Blue Origin Holy Tower.

But in order to reach the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, in addition to leaving the Lycian Alliance, Thane also had to cross several human countries in the northeast.

Originally, Thain did not intend to let Old John send him off, but Old John insisted on sending him off in person, and stated that this was the count's request before leaving.

Regarding this situation, Thain could only say that Old John could just send him to the border of the Lycian League.

Thain will walk the rest of the way on his own.

The Lycian Union has mostly plain terrain and smooth roads.

Although it was winter when Thain left, thanks to Old John's driving skills, it only took him one and a half months to reach Gray Territory, the northeastern border of the Lycian Alliance.

The northeastern part of the Lycian Union is connected to a series of extinct volcanoes.

The season at this time is still at the end of winter, but the temperature here in Grayland is already as good as midsummer in Grantland.

The situation in Grayland is relatively good. If you go a little further south, there are endless active volcanoes there.

It has high temperatures all year round and is not suitable for human habitat and reproduction.

It is said that there are many powerful fire monsters living there, and some people have even seen giant dragons.

Moreover, there are rich minerals and related fire resources under the volcanoes.

It's just that it's rare to hear that any noble family can develop there.

After sending Thane to Gray Territory, Old John will drive the carriage back to Grant Territory.

In fact, when leaving, Old John also asked Thain if he wanted to bring some maids and servants with him.

But considering that there is still a long way to go to the Blue Origin Holy Tower, carrying these burdens will only slow down your speed.

And, in this world, what can’t you do with money?

There are more than 300,000 gold coins in Thane's space ring, all of which were prepared for him by Earl Grant.

In addition, Thane himself also has a lot of energy crystals.

Not to mention just a mere human maid, once he reaches the core area of ​​​​Jizhiyuan Holy Tower, he can definitely afford even non-human maids.

After bidding farewell to Old John, Thain and Owl Xiaoqi began a long journey across the extinct volcanoes in front of them.

Based on the magic map left by his mentor, as well as the information about surrounding countries that Thain collected when he was in Grant Territory.

With the speed of him and Owl Xiaoqi, if they want to reach

The Holy Tower of Origin of Dabi will take half a year at the fastest.

“It’s still too slow to travel on foot by physical means.”

"Magicians of level one or above travel around the wizarding world. In addition to using the rumored space teleportation array, mastering the ability to fly is also one of them."

"It's a pity that I have advanced magic levitation. Although I have magic books that introduce related spell models, I haven't spent much energy on it."

"And the total amount of magic power at the apprentice level... is not enough for me to travel for a long time." Thain thought.

Perhaps due to his apprenticeship experience at the Black Magic Academy, when Thane was learning a new magic, his priority was still practicality and specific power.

Levitation is only suitable for apprentices to take to the air for a short period of time. Whether it is flight speed or durability, it is not very ideal.

They are both high-level magic, but the Eye of the Sun, which Thain spent more than half a year mastering, is different.

This is a powerful spell that is enough to pose a threat to quasi-magicians and quasi-knights. In terms of practicality and value, it is more than a step ahead of the levitation spell.

"Qi, in order to get to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin as soon as possible, I have to work hard for you." Thain said.

"Gu?"

…

After spending more than a month traveling through the extinct volcanoes, Thain successively arrived at and passed through: the Kingdom of Gruni, the Principality of Ethiopia, the Macedonian Empire and the Fit Alliance.

Sein’s last stop was the Kingdom of Malgeria.

It was also in the Kingdom of Malgeria that Thain finally saw what the ultimate use of magic was.

Gem Bay in the east of the Kingdom of Malgeria.

In the evening, the red-orange sunset reflects the sea and sky into a beautiful crimson scene.

And above this beautiful sea, looking up, several giant ships with huge "wings" streaked across the sky.

The turbocharger device at the bottom of the giant wheel not only provides power to these floating ships, but also causes ripples in the Gem Sea below.

In the distance, a blue whale that was hundreds of meters in size emerged from the water.

It brought exclamations of surprise to ordinary residents and tourists near Gem Bay.

It was also in this exclamation that Thain, wearing a black noble robe, walked out of a magic carriage.

After flicking a gold coin from the Kingdom of Malgeria to the coachman, Thain looked at the magnificent coastline in front of him and sighed: "We are finally here, the Holy Tower of Blue Origin."
