The Lord of Ashes

The improvement in strength is certainly gratifying.

And because of all the gains he had just gained from the Immortal Land, and then being filled with time by various experimental studies, Thain finally filled a large part of his emptiness and longing for his hometown.

After Thane's body broke through to the half-step peak desperate state, he remained silent for many years.

Many creatures in the Mechanical City are thinking about what this mysterious city lord does every day.

Except during this period, something big happened in the City of Machinery, which required the city lord Thain to come forward.

Most of the time, including the famous desperate people in the Machinery City, it is difficult to see Thain.

…

Five thousand years after Thane returned to the City of Machinery, a very interesting thing happened.

The Azure Dragon Swordsman, who had a brief exchange with Thane and others in the Immortal Land, and left a good impression on both parties, unexpectedly also came to the City of Machinery.

The Qinglong Swordsman has always been wandering aimlessly in the desperate world.

Compared with five thousand years ago, the only change in this guy is that his beard is even more untidy.

Qinglong Swordsman didn't know at first that this was the city where Thain established the rules. When he first came here, he was stunned by the spectacular mechanical buildings in front of him.

If it weren't for the surrounding environment, there would still be a lack of energy elements, and outside the Mechanical City there would still be an endless white bone continent.

The Qinglong Swordsman will all think that he has returned to the material star realm and is in a technological civilization.

The first person to receive the Qinglong Swordsman was Ming, the desperate man in black.

Five thousand years ago, this guy returned to the City of Machinery alone, and at first thought that Thain might have fallen!

But one time later, Thain appeared in front of him again, and the danger of the rules of the Immortal Land no longer existed.

Ming seemed to have guessed something.

However, this guy didn't make any noise about it. After Thain met him in private, this chaotic blade swordsman with peak despair strength finally returned to the City of Machinery and became Thain's reliable subordinate.

Of course, Thain was able to subdue Ming, not by holding a magic sword, then holding the opponent's neck and asking him if he wanted to join the gang.

In addition to being a deterrent in terms of power, Thane also promised the other party that he would refine the two world-class secret treasure long swords and other sharp blades for him in the future.

But this time when the Qinglong Swordsman arrived at the Machinery City, he recognized Ming at first.

(sSince conquering Ming, with Thane and Gongsun Wudi rarely showing up, this peak despairer with outstanding combat power has become a role similar to the "Vice City Lord" of the Machinery City.

He handled a lot of things for Thain and others and maintained order in the Mechanical City.

Many wanderers in the Machinery City are more familiar with Ming than with the mysterious "Machine God Emperor". )

Qinglong Swordsman and Ming had met several times in the dangerous environment of the Immortal Land.

After arriving at the Mechanical City, he revealed to Ming that he wanted to settle in the Mechanical City for a while.

Ming then brought the Qinglong Swordsman to Thain.

"ah?"

"Aren't you the guy who calls himself the 'Lord of Ashes'?"

Although they had not seen each other for thousands of years, it was obvious that Qinglong Swordsman still had an impression of Thain and recognized him immediately.

After expressing his exclamation, Qinglong Swordsman stepped forward and asked in a very familiar manner, "Ahem, brother, are you old?"

Tell me the truth, was that peerless sword in the Land of Immortals taken away by you in the end? "

"I remember that you seemed almost to be..." Qinglong Swordsman gestured with his hands, which meant being cut into pieces with a thousand cuts.

Thain has a good impression of the person in front of him. In the world of despair, people with the character of Qinglong Swordsman are rare.

Not to mention, they had a good interaction before.

Thane did not directly answer Qinglong Swordsman's question, but said, "'Lord of Ashes' is just another title for me, this is my city."

"I heard that you want to join here?" Thain asked the Qinglong Swordsman in front of him with a smile.

The Qinglong Swordsman didn't dwell on the previous issue. Seeing that Thain asked about business, he nodded.

Although he is new to the Machinery City, Qinglong Swordsman also discovered that there is a lot of order here.

Unlike other settlements where top experts like him can come and leave whenever they want.

One of the biggest features of the Mechanical City is not the many high-rise buildings rising here, but the "order" here.

Qinglong Swordsman also heard that in the tens of thousands of years since the establishment of the Machinery City, there have been several deeds of expelling those who were at the peak of trouble and despair.

As a premise, it is no wonder that those wanderers who have a peaceful heart will gradually yearn for this place.

In addition, the City of Machinery will distribute a batch of energy crystals every once in a while, leaving it to the wanderers in the settlement area to fight for themselves.

The periodic release of these energy crystals replaced the opening of the original mechanical space secret realm.

After all, tens of thousands of years have passed, and all the valuable things originally contained in the mechanical space have been basically drained away by Thane.

Thane's joint fortress group, as well as so many advanced intelligent robots,

It didn't appear out of thin air.

Without the massive top-level civilization technological resources in the Source Energy Sub-City and the Mechanical Space Secret Realm, no matter how powerful Thain is, he would not be able to conjure so many things out of thin air.

What's more important is that these relics from top technological civilizations were all taken out of major ruins by Thane without spending a penny.

If it were in the material star realm, Thain would use magic coins to purchase materials needed for various experiments from the Wizards' Alliance.

Apart from anything else, I am afraid that just one joint fortress group experiment may wipe out nearly half of Thain's net worth.

As for the advanced intelligent robots he created, I am afraid that the serial numbers have only just been completed for half or even one-third, and Thain himself will be "bankrupt"!

Among the powerful people of the same level in the wizarding civilization, he is still considered to be one of those with few assets.

And the secrets of cutting-edge technology and laws are not something you can buy if you have money.

So far, the only living top-level technological civilization in the star world that Thane has come into contact with is the Gallente Federation.

But it is obvious that the Gallente Federation will not hand over its cutting-edge technological secrets or rare equipment containing technological laws to Thain for free without any reason.

Every harvest requires a war to pave the way.

Only in the world of despair, by exploring the rules and dangerous places everywhere, like discovering treasures, can Thane discover so many top-level civilization relics and obtain useful materials for himself.

For this reason, Thain had to lament that the world of despair is actually a "treasure place".

The progress and promotion of the creatures that enter it are also immeasurable.

But despite all the despair the world is a treasure.

Thain has gradually had enough!
