The Lord of Ashes

Thain usually keeps the door closed.

Of course, someone can come in.

For example, Selena, because sometimes Selena will help Thane clean his room and clean his personal hygiene.

It was Selina who entered Thain's room at this time.

Different from her usual simple attire, Selena, who has long hair and shawl hair, is wearing a white and cyan low-cut dress.

This is the first time that Thain has seen Selena dressed like this.

Today seems to be a special day, and Selena wants to show her best side to Thane.

Slowly walked towards Sean's bed.

As she advanced, Selena's cheeks gradually turned crimson, visible to the naked eye.

This should also be the first time Selena has shown such boldness and initiative.

There is no reason why Selena is not bold. If she does not make a decision now, she may lose her only chance and regret it for the rest of her life.

Finally, Selina walked up to Thane.

There were not many light sources in the room at this time, but Thain still relied on his excellent night vision and the mental power of a first-level magician to see the scene in front of him clearly.

Different from being coy and shy at the beginning, when Selena finally walked up to Thain, she had shown confidence and determination.

It looks like Selena is ready and has everything figured out.

Next, the choice came to Thain.

"Cousin..." A soft and soft voice came from Selena's mouth.

Thain had talked to Selina countless times before, and this was the first time he knew that Selina could make such a soft voice.

It was obviously just an ordinary title, but Thain seemed to think of a lot in an instant.

So much so that the heart that had been silent for a long time could not help but become alive.

The subtle changes in physiology and psychology did not affect Thain's will and judgment.

He still has some self-control, and he also knows that Selena is a little different from the other women he has interacted with before.

First of all, although Selina can't reach the level of Sharing the same troubles as Thane and Lina, she can almost match the close relationship between Thain and his senior sister Mayfair.

After all, they have lived together for so many years, and Selina has provided a lot of help to Thane in terms of housework and daily experiments.

In addition, there is an element of family affection in the relationship, which makes it impossible for Sean to regard her as the intermediate magic apprentice Mary who once had a one-night stand, or the one who left Sean with her.

Well, I definitely have an impression of the female knight Red Scales.

There is no one-night stand between Thain and Selena. If Thain touches each other, it means that Thain must be responsible to the end.

Although his personality is a bit like that of a black magic apprentice, Thane still has this bottom line.

He knew that he could never just "play" with his cousin Selina.

It is precisely because of this mentality that he must be responsible after making a move, so Thain is not willing to touch Selina so casually.

Not only for himself, Thane also didn’t want to harm Selina.

In the darkness, there was a distinct sigh from Thane.

Thain sat up from the bedside and said to Selina, who had already walked in front of him: "You don't actually need to be like this..."

The confidence and determination that Selina had maintained were instantly shattered by Thain's words.

Suddenly her beautiful expression was full of anxiety and fear, and she asked in a low voice: "Cousin, don't you like me?"

Faced with Selena's question, Thane shook his head.

Thain's shaking head gave Selina a glimmer of hope again.

Without waiting for Selena's psychological change, Thain said: "The life of ordinary people is so short."

"Even if you are a magic apprentice who has just begun to learn the truth, after exhausting all means, you only have a maximum lifespan of more than a hundred years."

"Only when you reach the level of a formal magician and have a life span of more than a thousand years can you truly enter the path of truth exploration."

"Life is short, but truth is eternal."

"Your cousin and I care more about the truth, not the emotional bond of just a few decades." Thain said.

Maybe what Thain said was a bit high and profound, Selena, who was sitting by the bed, shook her head, looking confused and not understanding.

"What does this have to do with us? I am willing..." Selina said excitedly.

Thane used his fingers to block Selina's next words.

It may be the first time that Selena and Selena have made such an intimate gesture. At this time, Selena's face suddenly turned red with shame, and her body became noticeably softer.

This cousin of Thain is good at everything.

She has a gentle personality, is hard-working, and is very beautiful, and in all aspects, Thain does not need to worry about anything.

Not only can he be responsible for Thain's daily life and housework in daily life, but he can also help Thain in the laboratory. He is truly one of the ideal companions.

Thane saw this too.

But compared to the temporary

Pleasure and indulgence, Thain saw something more profound.

Also to spur and motivate Selena, Thane put his hands on Selena's exposed shoulders, sat side by side with Selena on the bed and said: "It's not that I don't like you, but I think you did it. The decision was too hasty."

"Maybe this is just your impulse. You might meet a better person of the opposite sex in the future."

"And I'm about to leave the wizarding world for nearly thirty years..."

Before Thain could finish his words, Selina said excitedly: "I have thought about it carefully, and I am willing to wait for you at the Holy Tower of Blue Origin for thirty years!"

Selena's answer made Thane smile bitterly and shake his head.

Thain finally revealed his true feelings to Selina: "Promote to be an official magician as soon as possible!"

"As long as you are promoted to an official magician, I agree to accept it and be with you."

"Before that, you should put more thought and energy into the exploration of truth and learning magic."

"The lifespans of ordinary humans and magic apprentices are too short. If you really want to be with me for a long time, the best result is to be promoted to an official magician."

"Otherwise, even if we are together now, the mere decades of relationship will only leave eternal pain on our road to truth in the future," Thain said.

Selina finally understood Thain's relatively straightforward words this time.

She also suddenly thought that if she dedicated herself to Thain today, Thain would return from the battlefield in another dimension thirty years later.

Thain will still be young and charming by then, but what if he fails to be promoted to an official magician and becomes an old woman?

If this is the ending, Selina would rather not see Thane again and move away from home.

Only the most beautiful and youthful side of himself will remain in Thain's heart forever.

Her heart was suddenly filled with the motivation to explore the truth and the mysteries of magic. Although Selina did not force herself to do anything with Thain after that, she still held Thain's hand tightly and said: "Cousin, will you wait? Mine, right?”

"I will definitely be promoted to an official magician and won't let you down!" Selina said loudly.

"Well, I'll wait for that day to come."

"If you still remain true to your original intention after being promoted to an official magician, I will accept your friendship."

"But now, it's too early," Thain said.
