The Lord of Ashes

On the lawn behind Tourmaline.

After a short spell of chanting, two black warriors and an undead knight riding a bone horse slowly walked out of the pitch-black summoning vortex.

Undead magic is divided into two categories in terms of summoning forms.

One is to summon directly from the place, which consumes less magic power, but requires enough bones or flesh and blood sacrifices around.

The other is to summon directly from another world. This kind of summoning consumes more energy and magic power, but does not have much requirements on the surrounding environment.

But no matter which summoning method is used, undead magic and summoning methods are inextricably linked.

At this time, Thain was practicing several undead summoning spells that he had just learned.

It is not yet known what the black domain of the Western Islands looks like, but he has had a confrontation with a black magician before, and Thain is still more inclined to hide his clumsiness.

Not only does his original appearance and aura need to be hidden, Thain even wants to cover up his ability to use the elements of light and fire.

Once he arrived in the Western Islands, Thain's apparent identity was that of a necromancer who had just been promoted to the first level.

Three undead creatures came out of the summoning circle. The two black warriors had the strength of high-level knight attendants, while the bone undead knight had the level of a quasi-knight.

He has achieved such an achievement just by studying undead magic for such a period of time.

In addition to Thain's relatively solid learning skills, there is probably another reason. He is very talented in the fields of undead and dark magic.

"It's a pity that there is no summoning magic for undead creatures above level one. The importance that magicians in the wizarding world place on knowledge has also led to some occlusion and monopoly situations."

"If I were in the Blue Origin Holy Tower now, with my mentor's collection and the foundation of the Holy Tower Library, I should also have some good undead magic books."

"However, the knowledge contained in this book 'On the compatibility of death and summoning magic' is too obscure and should not have been written by an ordinary magician." Thain sighed as he looked at the black book in his hand.

Putting away the black book, Thain waved his right hand.

The black warrior and the bone knight, who had recently emerged from the summoning array, quickly disappeared under a burst of elemental light.

Thain's expression was full of curiosity about that layer of gray elemental light and the complex formation patterns at their feet.

According to the introduction of these necromancy magic books, more than 70% of the necromancy creatures summoned from other worlds in the Wizarding World come from the large world within the Wizarding Alliance - the World of the Undead.

Although the status of the World of the Undead in the Wizards Alliance is not as good as that of the Titan World and the Elf World, it is almost comparable to a large world like the Orc World.

These are all powerful worlds where there are seven-level true spirit masters within the alliance, and they are an important cornerstone for the development and prosperity of the Defending Wizards Alliance.

And the world of the undead has been following the Wizards Alliance for a long time.

Magicians in the wizarding world can easily use summoning magic to attract the undead creatures in the world of the dead and its surrounding attached worlds of death to help.

It is also related to the rule structure and direction of the two worlds.

As for the power that can affect the rules... only creatures above level four, or even level seven, have such means.

Although Thain spent a lot of energy and attention on undead magic during this period, he still knew where his main direction was and did not deviate from it.

For example, so far, Thain has not dissected and studied the inner cells of those undead creatures, nor has he spent a lot of time studying the principles of summoning magic.

It's not that Thane doesn't want to, it's that he can't.

The energy of any magician is limited. At least so far, Thain has not seen any master who is proficient in each department.

When Thain only studied Jade Fire Magic, he almost used up all his time and energy.

Not to mention, he still has to find time to tinker with his alchemy.

Regarding the magic of summoning the undead, Thain's attitude towards it is equivalent to the cost of his energy invested in the field of pharmacy.

It is enough to be proficient in the relevant magic, there is no need to pursue the secrets and principles.

It is mainly used to prepare for the upcoming trip to the Western Islands, and to satisfy my curiosity about other types of magic.

Lu Lianman, the fourth-level magician of the Jizhiyuan Holy Tower, always laments in the laboratory that the disciple he has accepted is very worry-free.

Because Thain knows exactly what he should do and what he shouldn't do at all times.

This is an extremely calm guy, perhaps a born magician.

Due to the demand for summoning magic of the undead above level one, and recalling the rich collection of books in the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue, Thane couldn't help but think of the many holy towers in the Mamet United Alliance, and some of them should be open to the outside world.

For example, the arcane light that every holy tower basically possesses can be used by Thane at a certain price.

But considering the massive arcane points he spent the last time he used Arcane Light... Thain couldn't help but shake his head again.

"I wonder if there will be any related necromancy magic books among the legacy of that second-level black magician."

"There should be dark-type ones. This is basically enough." Thinking of the black beam released by the second-level black magician during the battle, Thain said to himself.

…

After practicing today's magic lesson, Thain walked towards Tourmaline's head.

Because of his simple and honest personality, this guy didn't mind that Thain stood on its head after getting Bixi's consent.

There is still no end to the vast river ahead. The wizarding world's majestic territory and carrying capacity are enough to make it difficult for a behemoth like Tourmaline to explore to its end.

At this time, Bixi was playing with the owl Xiaoqi, and the constructor Yuli was watching from the side. A light red constructed demon doll stood behind Yuli.

The appearance of Thain made everyone look at him.

Even Tourmaline raised her head slightly.

Thain smiled and said: "When we fought with the second-level black magician before, no one of us even noticed that you existed under the island."

"How on earth did you manage to hide your aura perfectly?"

"Under normal circumstances, the more powerful a creature is, the more intimidating and oppressive it is to the weaker creatures around it, right?" Thain asked curiously.

Regarding Thain's question, Bixi tilted her head slightly and looked like she was thinking.

Perhaps before this, Bixi himself had not considered such issues.

This should come from its origins and instinct.

However, Tourmaline's ability to understand and think is still very strong. It is just a bit honest, not stupid.

After a moment, Bixi replied: "Maybe...maybe it has something to do with my breathing rate?"

"Is it just the breathing rate? Does it involve subtle control of the body's muscles?" After hearing this, Thain couldn't help but ask.

This problem of Thain is somewhat difficult for Tourmaline.

"Yes...or not..." Bixi blinked.
