The Lord of Ashes

There were still many black magic apprentices like Thane in Mensobra City at that time.

For the group of black magic apprentices, the major holy towers in the wizarding world still have a certain tolerance and understanding.

After all, strictly speaking, black magic apprentices are also victims. They are innocent children who are forcibly abducted underground.

Moreover, in the wizarding world, if too many school-age children in a certain area are robbed by black magicians, it means that the holy tower and knight's hall in that area have seriously neglected their duties.

As for the Wizards Alliance, they will even increase the punishment on the holy towers or knights' halls in this area. In serious cases, they will even ban the established holy towers and other organizations.

It's just that due to the special geographical location and historical factors of the Underdark Region, no Holy Tower forces have ever been involved in that area of ​​​​no regard.

Including until today, even if the Dawn Holy Tower and other forces have cleaned up the black magicians in the Underdark Region, the Dawn Holy Tower has not extended its tentacles too far there.

After obtaining the crystal core of the Level 4 Sandworm King and other loot resources, the Dawn Holy Tower and other forces have gradually withdrawn from the Underdark Region.

It once again became a land of chaos and emptiness.

Some of the black magic apprentices in Mansobra City followed the black magicians and resisted stubbornly, but were eventually forcibly wiped out by the magicians of the Holy Tower and the knights of level one or above.

There is really not much possibility of survival against creatures above level one at the apprentice level.

Even during the Regional Academy War, a peak apprentice like Thane, with the dual effects of the Eye of the Sun magic and the mask, was not absolutely sure to kill a first-level magician.

The two are not at the same life energy level at all.

In addition to the black magic apprentices who stubbornly resisted, there were also a group of apprentices in the city of Mensobra at that time who had already defected to the Holy Tower magicians or were captured by the Holy Tower magicians.

Fortunately, among the group of holy tower magicians and first-level knights who destroyed the city of Mosobra, there were not just one or two beings with benevolent intentions like Midic.

These knights and magicians were not too harsh on the captured black magic apprentices.

Thain is not sure what screening methods the Holy Tower of Dawn uses. In short, according to Master Midici, most of the captured black magic apprentices have been forgiven and are still studying in the Holy Tower of Dawn.

Only a handful of black magic apprentices with evil intentions were liquidated.

At Thain's request, Master Midici quickly retrieved the information and data of the original batch of black magic apprentices through the crystal ball.

Thain guessed that the reason why the Holy Tower of Dawn kept these black magic apprentices in this academy was.

In addition to the law of survival of the fittest among black magicians, they have indeed cultivated a group of top and self-reliant magic apprentices, which aroused their love for talent.

Another factor is that locking these little guys who were originally identified as "black magic apprentices" in the academy can also make it easier to monitor them.

As expected, after these black magic apprentices stayed in the Holy Tower of Dawn, it was more difficult than other magic apprentices to obtain permission to go out to perform academy tasks.

However, now that they have escaped from Mensobra City, for most of these black magic apprentices, they have escaped from the sea of ​​misery.

With some restrictions on freedom, compared to the precarious state of life during the Black Magic Academy, this place is simply a paradise.

Many black magic apprentices have grown up in recent years, and based on their own strength and character, they have gradually become famous figures in the academy.

It can be seen from this that the survival of the fittest among black magicians, and the extremely cruel and bloody apprentice elimination method is not without merit.

It has been somewhat effective, especially in selecting good, strong apprentices.

This kind of character of Thane, as well as his ability to make a name for himself during the Jade Origin Holy Tower Academy War, are also inseparable from his early experiences.

Under normal circumstances, there are not many magicians like Thain who usually work hard in the laboratory or library.

There are quite a few lists brought by Master Midici, and there are actually dozens of them.

It can be seen that there were still many black magic apprentices who survived.

But then, to Thane's disappointment, he did not find the lives of Lina, Zorro, Mayfair and others in the list.

That's probably true, based on the last words of Mentor Moses and the letter that Lina left for her.

Senior brother Zorro and senior sister Faile were looked after by Joanne, a second-level black magician at the time.

Lina, on the other hand, followed her mentor Ferena.

With such first- and second-level magicians escorting them, it is unlikely that they will be captured by the Holy Tower of Dawn.

Because even if they are intercepted by the Holy Tower of Dawn, the final result should be to fight to the death, and it is basically impossible to surrender and be accepted by the Holy Tower of Dawn.

However, among the lists that seemed strange to Thain, Thain finally saw a familiar name.

And the appearance of this name made Thain extremely excited!

"Master Midi Qi, can you let me meet this person? She is my friend!" Thain emphasized the word friend very hard, and he looked at Midi Qi expectantly.

The name on the crystal ball that Thain pointed to was a quasi-mage named Meili, and there was a series of basic information about Meili on it.

Midic actually had some impression of Meili, and he said in surprise: "It's actually her."

"Yes, he is a good boy. In such a repressive environment, it is reasonable for the two of you to become friends." Midic nodded.

Later, Midic did not use the crystal ball to notify Meili to come, but took Thain and flew to the 336th floor of the Holy Tower.

Following Master Midic, Thain basically made a general judgment on the matter.

When Master Midici rang the magic doorbell, and finally a first-level female magician in a yellow skirt walked out of the room on the 336th floor of the Holy Tower, Thain was even more sure of his guess.

"Master Midici, why do you think of coming to my place as a guest?" the female magician asked with a smile.

"I kind of miss the mint yellow tea you made. Let's try it today."

"By the way, the Thain magician behind me comes from the Holy Tower of the Origin of Blue. He is a friend of your five disciples. They are all..." Midic said, and leaned closer to transmit the sound with his mental power. The origin of Thane was introduced.

This first-level female magician with pretty good looks quickly showed a look of understanding.

Then she turned towards the laboratory behind and shouted: "Meili, your friend is here!"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding!" came the sound of glassware being smashed.

An angry female voice came: "Angie, what are you doing?!"

"Dong dong dong!" After a rather reckless running sound, a female magic apprentice with short green hair ran out of the laboratory.

There was also a little girl who was probably only about ten years old and had pigtails stuck between her creaks.

"I don't have any friends. I told him to keep that guy Kled away from me!" the green-haired female apprentice couldn't help complaining, but when she looked up and saw Thain's appearance, she couldn't help but froze.

At this time, Thain also saw the other party's appearance clearly, and saw a smile on his lips, saying: "Long time no see, Meili."

"Bang!" The little carrot head that was originally trapped in the creaking nest by Meili fell to the ground in an instant.

Although it was a wooden floor, the little girl with a cute face was hit hard.

"Senior sister~!" A burst of unwilling shouting came from the little girl.
