The Lord of Ashes

After helping Thain move the specimen back to the dormitory, the little girl Tiandi slowly left, looking back every step of the way.

She seemed to want to remind Thain if he had forgotten something.

But faced with Thain's indifferent face and his tone of farewell without any emotion, Tiandi did not dare to stay.

After Tiandi left, Thain shook his head.

The apprentice specimens on the experimental table are enough to last for two months without spoiling.

After spending the morning studying anatomy, Thane walked to the bed and read one of the five magic books given to him by his mentor Moses.

"Introduction to the Basic Knowledge of Pangea in the Wizarding World" This is the thickest and largest book that Thain has come across so far.

In addition to introducing some commonly used magic knowledge, there are also handwritten notes left by the mentor Moses at the end of many paragraphs.

Those valuable and commonly used magical knowledge are naturally one of the things that Thain cares about most.

In addition, what also aroused Thain's great interest was the many customs and customs introduced in this magic book about the wizarding world and the wizarding continent.

"Is this world we live in called the wizarding world?"

"Also, where is the Underdark in the wizarding world?"

"Where is my home in the wizarding world?" Thain thought to himself while flipping through the books in front of him.

It's a pity that this is a magic book that mainly introduces basic knowledge. In the end, Thain didn't find the answer he wanted.

Including the notes introducing the local customs and customs in various parts of the Wizarding World, they were also written very vaguely. It seemed that the person involved did not want to reveal too much about the surface of the earth and other areas of the Wizarding World.

Thain can only roughly know that the world he lives in is bigger than imagined.

Because from the notes left by his mentor Mosheduo, he also read a hint of the mentor's sense of insignificance when facing the entire vast wizarding world as a formal magician.

Speaking of which, it has been ten years since I came to the Underdark. Thane has never seen any apprentice who can leave the city of Mensobra and return to the surface.

The sunshine during the day and the stars in the sky at night seem to have become the images deepest in Thain's memory.

Here in the Underdark, Thane looked up and could only see the faint light of fluorite embedded in the sky above the ground.

The black magicians of the academy have blocked the way to return to the surface. Thane has explored many places around Mensobra City in the past ten years, but he has never found any possible way to the surface.

Surface roads.

Including every time new blood was snatched from the surface by black magicians, all Thain saw was a huge ship flying in mid-air.

Where did this giant ship come from, and what did it rely on to fly?

Thane is unknown.

Thain only knew that a large number of children of school age were transported to the city of Mensobra on this giant ship every time.

After dropping all the children into the city of Mensobra, the giant ship will disappear the next day, as if it had never appeared.

Under the dim light provided by the magic crystal lamp, the back of a young man reading a magic book became longer and longer.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the door opening sounded.

A girl who felt familiar and reassuring to Thane walked up to him.

After reading five more pages of the book with Thane, Lina said: "Go to bed early. Don't you have other magic courses tomorrow?"

Nodding, he closed the huge book in his hands and pushed it under the bed. Thain and Lina lay on the bed hugging each other.

The magic crystal lamp went out at some point.

In the darkness, in addition to bursts of suppressed breathing, Thain also whispered to the person in front of him: "Today, the magician of Corsolon gave me a specimen. The embalming fluid used in that specimen is very special. , I don’t know how to prepare it specifically.”

"Well...I'll help you identify it tomorrow." After a low groan, Lina replied softly.

In terms of skills in the field of anatomy, as well as knowledge of the doctrine of darkness and death, Lina, who is a senior apprentice, is more than ten meters ahead of Thain.

Including Thane's very stable dissection techniques, he also learned from Lina in countless practices.

As a senior apprentice majoring in fire and dark magic elements, Lina is also very interested in related majors.

If the secret of Corsolon's magician's antiseptic fluid can be cracked, or only a small part of the knowledge and secrets can be unlocked, it will be of endless benefit to Lina and Thane.

Talk about this stuff when you're doing errands.

It's not that Lena and Thane are more perverted, but this is the norm in the underground world.

Thane and Lina were used to talking about death or specimens casually.

This marks that they have truly adapted to their identity as black magicians and the atmosphere of the Black Magic Academy.

It also means that they stand at the top of the vast majority of apprentices in all aspects.

No matter from the aspect of strength, or from the aspect of adaptability and mentality.

…

In addition to Master Corsolon's anatomy class, with the full opening of the academy's public classes, introductory pharmacy courses, World of Warcraft identification courses, initial magic model construction courses, etc., courses that Thain is interested in or useful to him, he They will all choose to listen.

From the names such as "Introduction" or "Initial" in these courses, it can also be seen that the knowledge taught in these public classes is only the most superficial part of the department's magical knowledge field.

There's nothing you can do about it, and knowledge is priceless.

Unless you can become a disciple of a formal black magician, you will have the opportunity to enter the room and truly learn and delve into the in-depth knowledge of a certain field mastered by the magician.

It is tantamount to wishful thinking how far one can reach with the superficial introductory knowledge taught in public classes.

In fact, the opening of public classes is more aimed at entry-level apprentices and low-level apprentices in colleges.

Intermediate apprentices like Thain have basically listened to these courses in the past.

Including the official black magicians who give lectures, they rarely come up with anything new in public classes.

In addition, black magicians generally have a cold and unruly temperament. If you accidentally make the other party dislike you, even an intermediate or above apprentice will be at risk of being killed.

It's just that in terms of probability, mid-level apprentices are far less unlucky than those low-level apprentices and entry-level apprentices.

After all, the academy has trained them for more than ten years, and they have finally grown to the level of intermediate or above apprentices. They are not allowed to be killed by the formal black magicians at will.

While Sien was attending these public courses, one of the more interesting things was that the one who taught basic knowledge of the fire element and introductory explanations of alchemy happened to be his mentor Moshe Duo.

Perhaps because of Thain's presence, Teacher Mosheduo would come up with some new and in-depth knowledge every time he gave a lecture.

The occurrence of this situation not only caused many apprentices to fill the entire classroom every time Teacher Moses taught.

Including Thain, a direct disciple, he also acted as the assistant or class representative of many teachers of Moses, standing on the podium or in front of the experimental table, learning and feeling the mysteries of magic and truth at close range.

During this period, Thain also saw the entry-level apprentice Tiandi, who had crossed paths with him, many times.

The other party's behavior of taking the initiative to chat with Thain after class made many apprentices who did not know the truth regard the other party as Thain's favorite, so they did not dare to set their sights on this little entry-level apprentice.
