The Lord of Ashes

"Come back to my laboratory and I'll help you solve it."

"This potion can suppress the special power of fire in your body."

"In fact, in my opinion, the alien power you currently have in your body, and the path that is extremely suitable for you to take in the future, should be the 'power of desire.'" Thain stood up and said.

Jessica had splashed a lot of water just now, but not a drop of it hit Sean.

"The power of desire?" Jessica raised her head and looked at Thain.

As a demigod-level magician who externally identifies as a plant-based elementalist, although Jessica is indeed deeply involved in the mysteries of the fire element, it is still difficult for her to suddenly completely change the experimental direction of her main research.

She really needed to think about it.

Thain nodded and continued: "Have you heard of the power of emotions?"

"I heard ‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎ once said that I have read relevant introductions in Sky City, but I haven't covered much." Jessica nodded with difficulty.

In the wizarding world, the power of emotions is also an extremely partial truth.

Thain has not dabbled much in this area. He only studied it for a period of time in the Sky City in order to solve the impact of demon blood factors on personality and emotions.

So know more than Jessica.

In addition, Thain has conducted in-depth and practical research on the two races of living demons and demons, so he can see some of Jessica's problems.

"Then have you studied the devil race?" Thain asked.

"Compared to the devil, your situation seems to be more suitable to be solved by the devil's method." Thain said.

"No." Jessica shook her head.

Devils and demons are rare species within the wizarding civilization.

Demons are a little better. A special knight family like the Xaya family may have connections with some demons.

But the devil is even less so.

And devils have always been synonymous with "deception" in the surrounding star fields.

It was only during the Wild Orangutan World Battlefield that Thain had the opportunity to dissect and study a few devils with the help of the Tourmaline Family and the Alibaba Chamber of Commerce.

"I think that the combination of your plant-based mysteries and fire-based mysteries has gradually transformed into a power similar to 'desire fire'."

"It seems that this is an emerging force that you have never been involved in before, so you can't restrain yourself at certain times and show such a gaffe."

"Exploring the truth is the instinct of every spellcaster among us."

"Go and proactively pursue the use of emotional power and devilish power. This should change your current situation."

"You can also come to me for help, and I will help you." Thain said while looking at Jessica who was still kneeling on the ground, and then left the place.

When Thain left, he did not immediately remove the barrier he had arranged.

It wasn't until Jessica gradually recovered, quickly cleaned her body, and put on a new and clean magic robe that this small barrier gradually dissipated.

Thain didn't know whether Jessica would eventually come to him. He could only say that the other party's state was very interesting, and Thain wanted to study it.

If the other party is unwilling to come to you in the end, forget it.

The chance encounter with Jessica was just an interlude. Thain soon met his mentor Lu Lianman in the fortress.

Lu Lianman obviously knew about Thain's arrival. Thain did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts when he entered the Blue Origin Fortress.

And Lu Lianman should also be the only one in the fortress who noticed that Thain had just arranged the barrier and was talking to Jessica.

After the polite greetings and conversation between the master and apprentice ended, Lu Lianman asked casually, "Did you see Jessica just now?"

"Well, I met him by chance." Thain nodded, and he quietly looked at Lu Lianman's face.

At this time, Lu Lianman's expression showed no difference.

Because the mentor's face was very white and his appearance was so beautiful, Thain couldn't help but feel some kind of trembling.

This kind of throbbing may be the influence Jessica brought to Thain just now.

It's strange to say that Sean didn't feel much about the gesture Jessica showed in front of him just now, but now when he saw the dignified and beautiful mentor in front of him, Sean actually felt a tremor.

This kind of throbbing is just an impulse for beautiful things, and it has not turned into a fact. Thain will not hurt his mentor, but at this time, affected by this throbbing, Thain then said: "Master Jessica, It seems like we are facing a problem.”

After Thain finished speaking, Lu Lianman's face, which was originally very pale, suddenly showed a layer of reddish color.

This layer of reddish color is like the face of a young girl who has been drinking. She is drunk and makes people look cute and fond of her.

Sure enough, mentor Lu Lianman knew something about Jessica's situation.

But what's strange about Thane is that he was able to discover Jessica's anomaly in the first place because of his keen insight into the Maskless Persona.

And where did you find the mentor?

Jessica is a demigod-level magician after all. If a fourth-level creature conducts a comprehensive spiritual penetration exploration on her, she should be able to sense it.

After all, Jessica had hidden this kind of thing very well before, and ordinary fourth-level creatures couldn't really tell it at a glance.

Regarding Thain's doubts, he didn't take the initiative to ask, and Lu Lianman certainly couldn't take the initiative to tell him.

After a brief awkward stalemate, Thain said casually: "I think the problem with Master Jessica involves the special element of 'desire', which is a kind of power between the power of emotion and the element of fire. The special power factor between them, I didn’t expect that Master Jessica, as a plant magician, would eventually face this kind of problem.”

"Wood is flammable. Many plant-based magic apprentices and low-level magicians, when they first embark on the path of truth exploration, in order to grow faster and obtain stronger elemental power,‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎ ‎​‏‏‎‎You can indeed dabble in the mysteries of the fire system." Lu Lianman said.

"Wood is flammable? This is the first time this disciple has heard this statement." Thain said in surprise.

Lu Lianman nodded and continued: "However, the vast majority of plant magicians, after being promoted to the second level, will give up their research on the mysteries of fire and instead strengthen their own power to explore the origin."

"Jessica insists on the path of fusion of wood and fire. In addition, she may have encountered some problems in the search for truth, which is why she is in the current situation." Lu Lianman said.

"Teacher, what do you think Jessica should do?" Thain asked.

Lu Lianman remained silent this time. She didn't know whether she didn't think of a solution or was too embarrassed to say it.

Lu Lianman's silence did not affect Thain's performance. He further introduced that he might find a solution in the field of application of devil's power and emotional power.

This meeting between master and disciple gradually evolved into a discussion of Taoism, or a "truth discussion."

Most of the time, it was Thain who was talking, and occasionally Lu Lianman would chime in.

Also, if we just talk about the secret of Ashes Fire, which Thain is good at, Lu Lianman has nothing in common.

And if we simply talk about the mysteries of the plant system, Thain's academic achievements in this area are not enough.

Jessica's current level, as well as the integration problems she faces in the mysteries of wood and fire, are just right for the master and disciple to sit and talk.

Compared to boring entertainment and compliments, what is more suitable for conversations among groups of magicians is the exploration of the mysteries of truth.

Many relationships between magicians gradually become closer through the discussion of truth.
