The Lord of Ashes

After the fierce battle, Thane rested on the bedside to meditate.

He has long discovered that every time he does this kind of thing, the efficiency of meditation will be significantly improved.

The red scales with many red marks on her body are also resting. This female knight is much more tired than Thane now.

After a long time, Thane opened his eyes and asked, "What's your name? 'Red Scale' is just your nickname."

Hong Lin's physical strength had almost recovered at this time, but the woman was still lying comfortably on the bed.

Faced with Thain's inquiry, Hong Lin didn't even open his eyes and said, "What's the point of knowing my name? Will you marry me?"

Hong Lin's answer was very in line with her fierce style.

This also signifies that she is not pestering Thane's thoughts.

This woman is free and easy.

"That's right, the name is just a code name. It would be nice to call you Red Scale." Thane nodded.

"I see that your armor has been briefly enchanted, but that big sword has not. Do you want me to help you refine it and upgrade it?" Thain then asked.

"Okay!" Hong Lin's originally closed eyes opened instantly.

…

After staying in the Principality of Gigson for another two days, Thane set off to return to the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue.

He took the magic carriage and left directly. Hong Lin and her team members did not have such luxury.

After contacting and communicating with the other party, Thain learned that their mercenary group would go to the Orlov Empire next door to take over work in the second half of the year.

"Don't die, we might not have a chance to meet again in the future!" Before leaving, Thain slapped the red-scaled buttocks again.

Perhaps because of the female knight, the red-scaled buttocks are very plump and firm.

Thain gradually became addicted to taking photos.

"Hmph, even if you die, I won't die." Hong Lin snorted, then turned around and waved to Thain, who was about to board the magic carriage.

This woman is not used to this kind of parting atmosphere, and this guy actually wanted to hire Thain to serve in her mercenary group after graduating from Holy Tower Academy at the ultra-low price of one thousand gold coins a year, but he was Thane refused.

As the magic carriage gradually moved away, Hong Lin's figure became increasingly blurry.

Under the setting sun, only the handle behind him exudes the power of the red fire element.

The huge sword is extremely eye-catching.

In the process of returning to the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade, Thain did not experience any more troubles.

The duration of this mission was within Thain's expectation. Although there were some additional variables, overall, it was relatively successful.

After returning to Holy Tower Academy, Thain immediately went to the mission hall to submit the mission.

What only slightly surprised him was that he was not submitted to the task directly in the hall, but was taken to a room on the second floor of the task hall by the apprentice on duty.

After taking Thain to the place, the apprentice left directly.

Thain didn't wait for a while when a black-haired male magician walked in.

"Are you the apprentice who carried out this mutant monster investigation mission?" asked the male magician with long hair.

"Yes." Thain replied.

The magician in front of him is definitely not an ordinary formal magician.

This is another powerful magician who is on par with Director Johnny in terms of aura, and should have second-level strength.

"A quasi-magician-level apprentice, not bad."

"Tell me carefully about what you encountered this time, and give me the relevant mission materials." The black-haired magician said.

So Thain talked in detail about what happened after entering the underground mine in the Salt-Coke Basin.

Thain did not go into too much detail about the combat areas.

Presumably a powerful second-level magician has little interest in hearing about the combat experience of an apprentice.

When Thain was describing the mission process, the black-haired magician's main attention was on the fragments of the lion spider beast's corpse and the blood of the Warcraft that Thain took out.

This magician was quite professional. He actually took out the corresponding research equipment in the room, as well as an elemental microscope that Thain had not come into contact with before.

Thain's alchemy uses many experimental instruments, except a microscope.

This elemental microscope is more suitable for magicians who study flesh magic or life transformation.

Although there are official magicians teaching related courses at Jade Origin Holy Tower, Thain only listened to one or two classes and did not go further.

Because the official magician who taught the public course was talking about transformation related to the plant system, an area in which Thain was not interested.

"Oh! It turns out that one of them is about to reach a breakthrough.

A critical quasi-level monster, it seems to the apprentice that you are quite capable. "While Thain was describing the mission, the black-haired magician suddenly discovered something from the element microscope in front of him. He raised his head in surprise and said to Thain.

Thain didn't say anything about this.

The black-haired magician probably didn't expect that this critical quasi-level monster was killed by Thain.

He only thought that Thain, the mercenary knights, and the soldiers of the Gigson Principality worked together to surround and kill him.

After Thain finished telling all the details of the mission, the black-haired magician in front of him frowned slightly and continued to ask: "If you think about it again, don't you find anything else?"

"Especially about the origins of those demi-humans?"

"Also, was there any special magic array in the underground space where the lion spider beast was at that time?" the black-haired magician asked.

Thain shook his head after hearing this, but suddenly remembered something, and took out the black idol stone from the space ring.

The appearance of the black stone really moved the black-haired magician a little.

After carefully looking at the stone handed over by Thane, the black-haired magician, who understood what was going on, waved his hand and said, "You can go out. Just go to the lobby to receive the mission reward."

Thain was also very curious about the origin of the black stone, but unfortunately, this second-level magician had no intention of explaining it to his apprentice.

After leaving the room respectfully, Thain walked straight to the lobby on the first floor.

This time, in the lobby on the first floor, Thain indeed received his academy award.

And to Thain's slight surprise, the reward for this mission was actually three times the original amount.

In addition to up to 60 academy points, Thain was also awarded three high-level energy crystals.

After getting the three specially requested high-level light energy crystals, Thain sighed: "Not bad!"

This is already a relatively high-level mission reward. If this investigation mission had such a high reward from the beginning, it would probably not even be Thain's turn to carry it out, and it would have been snatched away by the veterans who have been wandering the mission hall all year round.

After receiving the mission reward, Thain walked straight towards his dormitory.

In this underground mission, in actual combat, Thane gained new ideas and insights into the Eye of the Sun magic.

Now is the time to put it into practice as soon as possible and test the feasibility of the idea.
