The Lord of Ashes

During this process of splitting into three directions, Trilis was temporarily in the center of the Sea of ​​Chaos Star Territory.

Because the wizarding civilization has not yet fought with the Gallente Federation in the Golden Rock World Group, Trilis does not have to rush to the border to garrison.

Saen's master Bogagaru quickly devoted himself to attacking the uncontrolled wandering interstellar groups in the Sea of ​​Chaos star field.

Gargaru seems to like doing this.

No, it should be said that Gargaru likes fighting, especially the feeling of punching to the flesh.

As Thain became more and more familiar with this uncle, he couldn't help but be surprised by his quirks.

In addition to being a magician and mastering the power of elements, Gargaru's preferences in other aspects do not seem to be much different from those of knights of the same level.

Thain couldn't say whether this situation was good or bad.

But as a staunch truth seeker, Thain still believes that knowledge is the greatest source of power for magicians.

Thain himself naturally followed the third group of people to the vicinity of Blue Star to help the wizarding civilization explore the situation of gray crystal and other inert crystal mineral veins.

In addition to Thane himself, his Ashes Holy Tower Legion, as well as the Kryptonian Legion and Huyan Legion in the Wizards Alliance will also go with him to set up defenses around Blue Star.

This legion's strength is not outstanding compared to the total number of legions brought to the Sea of ​​Chaos Star Territory by Trilis.

However, considering that there is no war breaking out around Blue Star at this time, it is enough to send this part of the army first.

When Thane led his army, took a short rest, replenished supplies, and was about to head to the vicinity of Blue Star, an interesting thing happened.

It turned out that Thain's master Bogagaru couldn't bear the loneliness and had already launched an operation to clean up the Sea of ​​Chaos Star Territory.

The purge does not mean to exterminate the wandering races in this star field. The wizard civilization has just arrived and does not want to leave a bad impression on the indigenous creatures surrounding this star field.

Either join the Wizards' Union or get out of here.

In short, it is impossible for the wizard civilization to continue the chaos in the Sea of ​​Chaos Star Territory.

During this period, there was a powerful astral wandering group, led by a fourth-level creature of their own. Before Gargaru even came to the door, they took the initiative to come to the vicinity of the wizard civilization base camp and surrender.

Sure enough, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

Previously, with the support of the Gallente Federation, the wealthy ancient desert wasteland world had hired most of the capable wanderers from the Sea of ​​Chaos star region with huge rewards.

Clans or intergalactic mercenaries.

The overall strength of the interstellar races remaining in the Sea of ​​Chaos star domain at this time is actually not very good.

But it is obvious that some ethnic groups place their treasure on the wizarding civilization.

I don’t know if I should call them cunning or far-sighted. They may have made such a decision after seeing the battle situation of wizard civilization in other star fields.

But the end result is pretty good.

With this moderately powerful interstellar wandering group voluntarily surrendering, Gargaru's process of clearing the Sea of ​​Chaos Star Territory was obviously smoother.

For those who came over temporarily, because they did not know the ins and outs, it was impossible for Cuilis and other powerful wizards to give them any more important tasks.

In addition to giving a small profit at the beginning to make these stupid alien creatures happy.

When war breaks out in the future, they will definitely be cannon fodder pushed to the front row to die.

Members of the Wizarding Civilization and the Wizarding Alliance will not have the slightest pity or sympathy for them.

Unless they can survive the arduous war and live longer and longer in the future, they may gradually become the "elders" of the Wizards' Alliance.

…

"Master Gilbert, do you think there are gray crystal deposits near here?" Outside the space fortress, Thane asked the rickety old man in white robes in front of him.

The magician in front of him only had level four strength, but Thain didn't show any slights to him.

This Master Gilbert was sent by the Wizarding Civilization and was a scholar who had made profound achievements in the field of inert crystal research.

The other party's research and academic achievements in the field of inert crystals are definitely not comparable to Thain, who has only been involved in gray crystals for a few hundred years.

Including this trip to explore the gray crystal veins around Blue Star, this Master Gilbert is the main identification expert sent by the wizard civilization.

The stooped Master Gilbert held a special crystal awl in his hand and tapped on a gray-white meteorite block.

This gray-white meteorite block was specially selected by Master Gilbert through certain instruments.

Anyway, with Thain's knowledge, he really couldn't figure out what truths and mysteries were involved.

It is precisely for this reason that Thain is very respectful to Master Gilbert.

This is a sign of respect for seniors in fields that are not involved in one's own.

Not long after, Master Gilbert finally unearthed a desktop-sized gray-white rough stone deep in the meteorite block.

Most of the raw stone is made of

It is the most common and useless ordinary elemental substance in meteorites, but the other half is made up of the gray crystal mineral factor that Thain is more familiar with.

It's just that the gray crystal in this rough stone is not pure enough. From such a large desktop-sized rough stone, the final amount of qualified gray crystal extracted through purification may only be about the size of a thumb.

The reserves and purity of gray crystal here are far inferior to those of the mineral veins around Blue Star.

In Blue Star, some gray crystal veins even exist in the open air.

Both the reserves and the purity are outrageously high.

It's no wonder that Blue Star is clearly a water-attributed plane, but in the end it developed pretty good technology with the help of gray crystal.

After looking at the rough stone in his hand for a long time, Master Gilbert replied to Dausain's previous question: "There should be inert crystal mineral deposits around here, but the reserves should be ‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏ ‏‎‎Not much.”

"I'm even more interested in Blue Star and the small blank star field you mentioned in your previous report just after exiting the space-time window."

"Let's go there next. This place will be left to other exploration teams." Master Gilbert clapped his hands and said after putting the gray rough stones he mined into the space equipment.

Thain looked around, then nodded in agreement.

This place is still within the Sea of ​​Chaos star domain, but it has reached the border area, and is in the general direction close to Blue Star.

Unexpectedly, there are also meager veins of inert spar in the Sea of ​​Chaos Star Territory.

"Perhaps the survivors of Krypton fled here and were able to thrive in this star field with difficulty, which is also related to the presence of a certain amount of inert elemental factors in this star field." Thain said with emotion.

The fourth-level magician Gilbert also heard Thain's sigh. He raised his head and glanced at Thain and said: "I have also read the overall research information on Kryptonians and Gray Crystals that you submitted to the wizard civilization. .”

"The general research direction is still right. Some speculations and application methods about gray crystal may seem primitive and simple, but it is already very good if you have this level and intuition for truth exploration."

"I am more interested in the information you have about the anatomy of Kryptonians, and it seems that you have begun to dabble in the relationship between Kryptonite and Kryptonian life."

"You did not hand over these research results to the wizarding civilization."

"Let's do this. I will give you some of the secrets of the use of inert crystals that I have mastered. In exchange, how about you give me the part of the secrets of truth that you have mastered?" Master Gilbert asked.
