The Lord of Ashes

The Grant family is currently located in one of the most fertile plains in the Land of Ashes. It is also connected to rich underground resources that connect the ground, and there are several unusually vast magical beast forests in the surrounding area.

As the direct family of Thain, the Grant family at least directly controls the seven large and small empires and human kingdoms in the Land of Ashes.

As for the kingdoms and forces affected by the radiation of the Grant family, they are countless.

With the Holy Tower of Ashes as the core, more than thirty human nations in the surrounding areas are all influenced by the Grant family.

Even some foreign earth knights or sky knights who want to establish a country in the Land of Ashes must first visit the Grant family.

This is a typical example of one person achieving enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

As long as Thane's Holy Tower of Ashes still stands in this area, the Grant family can maintain their everlasting prosperity.

But then again, no well-established force or family can only rely on one person.

Many times, it's not enough to have a "big brother"; you also need a "second brother" who can handle the situation.

Only in this way can the family and power develop more firmly.

Today, Ulysses is the much-anticipated "second brother" of the Grant family.

To put it bluntly, as long as Ulysses can advance to the fourth level, if an accident like the one where Thain disappeared for thousands of years or even died happened again, the Grant family would not fall to the bottom overnight.

The first family fourth-level knight, this has been the obsession of the Grant family for nearly a thousand years.

Ulysses has one last chance left. If he fails again, the Grant family will make every effort to push Isaac to reach the fourth level.

Although Isaac is far superior to Ulysses in terms of personal potential and time performance in being promoted to demigod.

But both Thain and the Grant family still prefer Ulysses to be promoted to the fourth level.

As the founding ancestor of the Grant family, most family members hope that Ulysses can lead them to create greater glory.

And in terms of close relationship, Thain also cares more about Ulysses and Kelman.

For Isaac, only

It can be regarded as a "stranger" with some kinship.

In the process of returning to the Grant family, Thain thought for a while and only brought Xiao Qi, who was also a little old.

Originally, Thain and others could take a floating ship or fly there on their own.

But Xiaoqi showed a rare stubbornness and wanted to carry Thain back.

Although his physique is a bit old and his feathers have faded a lot, Xiao Qi, who shows off his true form as a monster, is still very majestic and majestic.

When Thain stood on Xiao Qi's back and passed through the clouds, and the green forests, plains, and rice fields in the distance appeared in front of him one after another, Thain couldn't help but said, "I suddenly remembered when I first returned to the Grant family. , also the two of us together.”

"Gu Gu." Xiao Qi, who was in a flying position, let out a cry, and it seemed to be recalling the past.

Thain thought of something, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "I remember that you were beaten down by a would-be magician using air magic."

"Gugu." Xiao Qi's eyes became a little more lively.

…

The giant manor and white jade lion statue owned by the Grant family seemed a bit more majestic than when Thain returned last time.

It's better to say it's a manor than a castle.

There are currently more than 10,000 members of the Grant family lineage. (In order to ensure excellent bloodlines, and the main marriage partners are often from families with good bloodline strength, the fertility rate of offspring of any powerful family will not be too high.)

But there are more than 100,000 people living in the castle, and their main duty is to serve members of the Grant family.

That huge white jade lion statue, no matter how Thain looked at it, felt a bit like the Reverse Feather Lion King.

But what made Thain hesitate a little was that the vicious monster didn't have one-tenth of the nobility of this giant white jade statue.

Xiao Qi finally fell into this giant white head

The tip of the nose of the jade lion statue.

When a group of them arrived at the Grant family, there were at least more than two hundred lion-like monsters running out of the manor inside and outside the manor, and each of these lions carried a knight on their backs. Half of the lions had wings on their backs.

These demon lion knights are the guard of honor used by the Grant family to welcome Thane.

The fertility of the Niyu Lion King is really exaggerated.

Thain didn't even create a single descendant. I heard that the Niyu Lion King had already harmed more than a dozen World of Warcraft forests.

These selected demon lion knights generally have the strength of quasi-knights or even full-fledged knights.

This also highlights the strength of the Grant family from the side.

Originally, according to the plan of the contemporary head of the Grant family, Jefferson Grant, he planned to hold a welcome banquet for Thain and others.

But Thain was not interested in participating in such activities. He directly ordered it to be cancelled, and then took Xiaoqi to the retreat of his great-grandfather Ulysses. 🅆

A vast group of stone rockeries is where Ulysses retreated for nearly a thousand years.

After flying here, Thain went straight to the center of the rockery group.

In the huge white jade stone clearing, the Niyu Lion King, who was also ten meters away, yawned lazily.

Not seen for so many years, this lion has become much older.

It can even be said that the Niyu Lion King is skinny and bones at this time, including its hair which is also a little dry and sloppy.

After replenishing Ulysses with a wave of life source through the power of blood contract, the Reverse Feather Lion King also reached the end of his life.

However, this demigod-level lion seemed quite optimistic and showed no signs of imminent death.

After seeing the arrival of Thane and Xiao Qi, the Niyu Lion King said, "I heard those little guys coming to greet you just now. I didn't expect you to arrive in the blink of an eye."

Xiao Qi, whose wingspan had returned to the size of an owl about one meter, now landed on Niyu Lion King's somewhat skinny shoulders.

The huge lion head of the Niyu Lion King glanced at Xiao Qi, and then whistled in greeting.

\u003cb

r\u003eThe wind with Niyu Shiwang's rich tone ruffled Xiao Qi's feathers.

It barked twice in response.

The aging lion and the aging owl go well together.

Thain first observed Niyu Lion King's condition for a moment, opened his eyes and looked at him for a long time, and even took Niyu Lion King's blood on the spot.

In the end, Thain temporarily prepared several weakened versions of the blood crystal life mixture based on the blood crystal potions left by his mentor, and handed them to the Niyu Lion King in front of him.

"If the blood crystal concentration is too high, it will be harmful to you."

"This is just the right amount, you should try it first."

"It can help you restore part of your vitality." Thain patted the lion's feathers of Niyu Lion King and said.

Niyu Lion King sniffed exaggeratedly with his huge nostrils.

Then he looked at the several potions that Thain had prepared in front of him with gleaming eyes, licked his tongue and said, "Good stuff."

After settling the Niyu Lion King, Thain glanced at the huge rockery behind the opponent.

A dark grotto, relatively eye-catching.

That was Ulysses' retreat, and Thain had already sensed his hidden aura.

Then, patting a section of Niyu Lion King's claw, Thain said, "I'm going to see my great-grandfather."

"Go ahead, he's inside." The Niyu Lion King rolled up the potion prepared by Thain with his tongue and said vaguely.

This huge stupid lion thought for a moment and did not change into a human form.

Instead, these medicines were directly rolled into the mouth, along with the reagent tubes, and slowly chewed and swallowed by it.

Watching Thain walk into the cave, the Niyu Lion King chewed and said to Xiao Qi who was standing on his shoulder, "I am doing this to avoid waste."

"Gu Gu."

"I had a meal in the village today. I got up this morning to squeeze in the time code for this chapter. I had already asked for leave yesterday, but I still thought I should write as much as possible.

I’ll take the car back in the evening, and I’ll be able to resume normal updates tomorrow~”
