The Lord of Ashes

Perhaps because of Lina's extremely petite figure, her behavior under the bed was not as graceful as that of her senior apprentice.

Thain's physique is not bad either. He is only sixteen years old and has at least several years of room for growth in the future.

According to Thain's physical growth rate, when he is 25 years old, when his physical fitness is at its peak in all aspects, his physical fitness value is likely to exceed 12 points.

Compared with those tauren with strong physiques, or the underground people with other talents, Thain's physical fitness is really nothing.

But among the group of black magicians, his physique is sufficient.

After all, not all black magicians specialize in honing their physique and strength like Scarface Jock. Even Lina can't handle Thane's power, let alone other magic apprentices.

…

With the arrival of the grade assessment day, the usually silent Black Magic Academy gradually became lively.

Many apprentices who went out to perform tasks returned one after another, including those who stayed in their dormitories or libraries for a long time, and appeared in every corner of the college in twos and threes.

In addition to his live-in girlfriend Lina, Thain actually has a few "friends" over the years.

Without enough strength, it would be difficult for a lone ranger to survive in the Black Magic Academy.

Especially those entry-level apprentices who have just come to the Black Magic Academy, they know the importance of joining a group for warmth and relying on a supporter.

Thain has many ordinary friends, but there are only two who can truly be close to each other and understand him.

"Hey, Fatty, long time no see." Walking among the many buildings of the Magic Academy, Thain greeted a potbellied magic apprentice who was coming towards him.

Fatty Boss was one of the teenagers who came to the Black Magic Academy with Thane ten years ago.

Because we have the experience of fighting side by side, fighting for and protecting food together.

So over the years, their relationship has gotten better and better.

Especially among the batch of magic apprentices who came at the same time, many have died due to various reasons. Baos and Thain should be regarded as the pair of friends who have known each other for the longest time.

The low-level apprentice Irk, who is already dead, should have another enemy, and that is Bose in front of him.

Because strictly speaking, Bose was also the culprit who robbed his younger brother of food.

one.

Facing Thain's greeting, Bos was stunned for a moment, then the fat on his face trembled, he smiled and walked towards Thain with open hands.

The reason why Thain was not recognized immediately was because Thain was wearing a white mask at this time.

"Haha, Thain, I have long heard about the great things you have done in the past two months!"

"I heard that you are now accepted as a disciple by a great official black magician?"

"Isn't this mask the pale mask you captured from Irk? It's a low-level magic item. Let me take a look."

Boss is also a low-level apprentice, but unlike Thane, this guy has little interest in meditation and studying magic. Instead, he prefers doing business and is more interested in black gold.

Black Street is the commercial street within the Black Magic Academy, but in fact, in Mensobra City, there are also several corresponding commercial streets in the city, and the things sold there are from more wild sources, and they often need to be contacted by the Underdians or others. Dealing with dark creatures.

Fatty Boss is currently working there. Although he has not been officially accepted as a disciple by a black magician, the shop he runs seems to have the shadow of a certain black magician behind it.

The iron and phosphorus powder and other spellcasting materials that Thain purchased before heading to the territory of the saltwater giant crocodile were actually taken from Boss at a friendly price.

In the end, the fat hand did not touch Thain's mask, but patted his shoulder. But what made Thain roll his eyes was Bos's huge belly.

Boss was only one year older than Thane. I really don't know how he managed to gain such weight in such a dangerous environment like the Underdark.

It seems that when he first came to the underground world, Baos was not so fat?

This time when he returned to the Black Magic Academy, Bos certainly wasn't here to compete for the academy's rewards.

His strength was only ranked below average among low-level apprentices, and his return this time was mostly because he sensed business opportunities.

Since three years ago, Baos has been peddling his goods among the low-level apprentice circles whenever there is an assessment in the academy.

From spellcasting materials to some unsound spell models, this guy has everything here.

Of course, most of them are just low-end gadgets, with prices ranging from a few pieces of black gold.

After all, there are not many rich people among the low-level apprentices, and the apprentices above the intermediate level also look down on Baos's crappy stuff.

Or maybe Boss has it too.

There were some good things, but he didn't dare to sell them in front of intermediate and above apprentices for fear of being remembered.

Before Boss could speak again, Thain took off the mask on his face.

After putting it into Bose's hands, Thane asked: "Look, how much black gold is this mask worth?"

His fat hands nimbly toyed with the pale mask handed over by Thane. Boss was a guy who knew what to buy. The store he stayed in in Mensobra City occasionally sold low-level or intermediate magic items.

Faced with Thain's inquiry, Boss examined the mask in his hand for a long time before saying: "It can be sold for 120 black gold at the normal price, but if you give it to me, brother, I am willing to pay 150 black gold to take it over."

Boss's answer vividly demonstrated to Thain the expense of magic props and the popularity of the alchemist profession.

It's just that Thain didn't completely believe Baos's lies. With his unprofitable nature, even if he took it from Thain at the price of 150 black gold, he was confident enough to sell it at a higher price. out.

As for how much it can be sold for, it depends on the financial resources of the buyer on the one hand, and the eloquence of the fat man on the other.

In the city of Mensobra, because magic items are so rare, there is almost no fixed standard price.

The fat man was still looking through Thain's pale mask. Seeing that this guy still had no intention of returning it, Thain suddenly said: "I did get this mask from Ilk, but it seems that it is from an official official." A treasure given to him by the black magician.”

Thain's answer frightened Boss. The pale mask in his hand was instantly thrown out and fell into Thain's hand again.

The timid and fearful look of Bos made Thain chuckle. If it were more than two months ago, he would probably be the same as Bos, afraid of revenge from an official black magician.

However, as two months passed, the official black magician of the plantation, Katherson, never came to trouble Thain, and he gradually let go of his worries.

In addition, he has been in contact with his mentor Moshe Duo and his senior sister Fei'er for a longer time. Thain knows that if he really encounters any trouble, his mentor will not sit idly by and ignore it.

Because if a formal black magician comes to cause trouble for Thane, it is actually equivalent to seeking trouble from his mentor Moses.

Thain doesn't know the specific strength of his mentor, but judging from the performance of the deputy dean, Master Dadalon, and Lina's mentor, Master Ferena, in the dungeon, Mosheduo should not be considered weak among official black magicians. .
