The Lord of Ashes

When Thain landed in front of Mark and others, the few little magic apprentices in front of them were obviously a little reserved and nervous.

We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Thain's face has not changed much, but Mark has changed a lot.

This magic apprentice, who was already in his forties or fifties, had grown a beard. Although he didn't look particularly old, he at least looked like a middle-aged man.

When he recognized that the official magician in front of him was Thane, Mark hurriedly saluted him.

The relationship between Mark and Thane was settled as early as the Regional Academy War.

At that time, Thain turned the tide as a peak apprentice and pushed the entire Jizhiyuan Holy Tower into the top two in the overall ranking, but it made him a myth for a while.

And this myth can still be circulated in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower for at least hundreds of years.

As the pinnacle apprentice who ranked first in personal points during the Regional Academy War, I don’t know how many years it will take for such a figure to be born in the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade.

Mark's politeness made Thain almost forget how arrogant and domineering he was back then.

Sure enough, people change, and Mark is no longer the dandy apprentice he used to be. The other person's maturity and stability at this time made Thain couldn't help but nod.

But thinking about Mark calling Erin grandma, Thain looked a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the magic apprentices around him looked at Thain with awe and reverence, so they didn't notice anything strange about Thain.

Among the apprentices in front of me, besides Mark, there are three other apprentices who also know Thain, but Thain doesn't know them.

The Regional Academy War allowed Thain to steal the spotlight.

Nowadays, most of the senior and above-level apprentices in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower have participated in that academy war. A large part of the myth created by Thane in the academy is promoted by these apprentices.

After thinking about it, Thane took out a flame bracelet from the space bracelet.

This was Thain's practice work in his spare time. The specific power of this flame bracelet was close to the strong acid cane he got during his early apprenticeship.

The flame bracelet in front of him was not a vulgar item, and Mark accepted the gift from Thain with some surprise.

Perhaps seeing the surprise in Mark's eyes, Thane mused: "This is a gift your grandmother asked me to give you. We formed a good friendship during the plane war that just ended."

Thain's answer made Mark's expression even more strange.

But Thain will definitely not have much time to talk to Mark next, because Dean Archimedes and the others are already here.

"Okay, I have to leave here first. If you need any help in the academy, you can come to me." After saying that, Thain flew towards the sky of the academy.

Ignoring the doubts and confusion in his heart, Mark hurriedly asked when Sean stood up and flew into the air, "Then when will my grandmother come back?"

In Mark's family, Eileen usually takes the most care of him, so Mark is more concerned about his grandmother's situation. After all, Eileen has not returned to the wizarding world for more than ten years.

The first batch of magicians to leave will return to the wizarding world in two months. Irene was the second batch to leave at that time. Thain thought about it and replied: "It should be in half a year."

After saying that, Thain left directly near the apprentice mission hall.

In the mid-air of the main teaching building of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy, Thain met Dean Archimedes and several other second-level magicians who stayed in the academy.

Dean Archimedes still looked like a gray-haired wise man. After seeing Thain, he exchanged greetings for a while and asked about Thain's plane wars in recent years, as well as the tower master and other Bi When will the magician of the Holy Tower of Origin return?

After roughly telling the Dean the return time of the Magician of the Holy Tower of Jade Origin, Thane mentioned that the time when his mentor Lu Lianman would return to the Holy Tower of Jade Origin has not yet been determined.

"My mentor is still in the poisonous green flame world, but before returning to the wizarding world, my mentor told me that she would not stay in that alien plane for long and would return soon," Thain said.

Thain's answer made Dean Archimedes nod.

Now that it is known that the first batch of Holy Tower magicians will return in two months, Archimedes and others also need to make some preparations.

Of course, Dean Archimedes also asked about the damage done to the magicians of the Holy Tower of Blue Origin.

When he raised this question, several second-level magicians beside him also cast their sights.

Thain is not very clear about the overall situation of the magicians of the Holy Tower of Jade Source. He is not a particularly gossipy magician. He only learned from Irene that the Holy Tower of Jade Source was destroyed in the world of poisonous fire and green flames. The number of lost magicians seems to be close to 30%.

This is already an extremely high number. The proportion of damaged magicians in the other three holy towers is definitely not as high as that of the Blue Origin Holy Tower.

The reason why this is the case is that many of the first-level magicians who participate in the Holy Tower of Blue Origin are newcomers like Thain who are participating in the plane war for the first time.

As a newly built holy tower, the gap between Jizhiyuan Holy Tower and other established holy towers is not only the gap in the apprenticeship field, but also the gap in the circle of formal magicians and above.

However, the situation of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower is a common situation in most newly built holy towers.

The total number of magicians participating in the battle in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower was not large. Although the battle loss ratio was more than 20%, close to 30%, the number of official magicians who were lost in conversion was only more than a hundred.

Compared to the nearly 200,000 magicians on the battlefield of the entire poisonous green flame world, it is nothing at all.

Not to mention, in this plane war, the slave biological legion that Thain witnessed alone consumed millions of people, and the number of dead indigenous creatures from the alien plane was even more numerous.

It is completely normal for a mere hundred or so official magicians to fall on the battlefield in another dimension.

Thain's expression was indifferent and calm, but the faces of the several second-level magicians in front of him who heard the damage showed a trace of sadness.

These second-level magicians obviously possess more powerful elemental power than Thane, but they are outright "academic" magicians.

Perhaps they also participated in some arduous alien wars in their early years, but they also saw the cruelty of alien wars, so they gave up the idea of ​​becoming a combat magician and focused on the development of the academy and wizard civilization. Interior construction.

With the end of the Poison Fire and Green Flame World War, it is estimated that some of the magicians who participated in the war will then become "academic" magicians.

As far as Thain knew, Irene, with whom she had a physical relationship, had the idea of ​​becoming an academic magician, but she had not made up her mind yet.

Erin also asked Thain if he wanted to be an academic magician, and Thain slowly shook his head.

Although it is fascinating to stay in the laboratory for a long time to explore the truth, Thane knows that exploring magical truth also costs money.

Plane war is the fastest way to plunder resources, and different alien faces are also very attractive to exploratory magicians like Thane.

In addition, Thain must admit that he can grow faster with the external pressure of war.

In the world of poisonous green flames, Thane has made great progress in the fields of green fire magic and alchemy.

In the wizarding world, with the same time and energy, he might not be able to do better.
