The Lord of Ashes

The parchment in front of you is not an ordinary map, it is a magic map.

When Thain gently touched the parchment with his elemental power, the entire parchment emitted a faint light.

Baron Snera probably doesn't think much of this map.

Also, the Snera family has been rooted in Gazes City on Qianba Coral Island for more than a thousand years, and they are familiar with every plant, tree, mountain and water here.

How could it be possible to use this magic map to find refuge in the north where the future was uncertain?

However, this magic map is also of great importance to the Snera family. To this day, only Baron Snera himself and his eldest son know about the existence of this map.

Examining the magic map in front of him, Thane discovered that it was a regional map focusing on the southern part of the Black Territory.

The workmanship of this magic map is very rough, but the information recorded inside is relatively comprehensive.

On this map, Thain found two marked coordinates.

These two coordinates should be one of the destinations of Thain's trip.

His senior brother Zorro and senior sister Feier are probably there.

And looking at the distance, the place where Zorro and the others live is not far from Chiba Coral Island.

It is almost on the edge of the southern part of the Black Territory. A little further south, we come to the junction area between the Black Territory and the central part of the Western Islands.

Of course, the "not far" mentioned here is for a first-level magician like Thain who has the ability to fly.

For those bottom creatures below level one, it would be an unimaginably long journey for them to cross the sea and at least three islands.

No wonder Baron Snera has almost never considered going to the Black Realm to seek help from Zorro and others.

With this magic map in his arms, Thane's goal of coming to the Snera family has almost been completed.

However, before leaving, for the sake of safety, Thane reaffirmed the identity of Baron Snera and the accuracy of the magic map.

How to be sure? Naturally, soul magic is used.

When Baron Snela didn't notice, Thane put his hand on his shoulder.

The eyes, which were originally apricot-yellow and bloodshot, couldn't help but turn up.

A blurry image frame with a gray-white background soon appeared in front of Thain.

The scene presented in the image frame should be from thirty years ago, when Baron Snera was still a twenty-year-old young man who had just inherited the title for two years.

The passage of time has made the picture in the image frame very blurry.

Thain could only roughly judge that the tall man wearing a metal mask who appeared in the image frame looked very much like his senior brother Zorro.

As for the other woman, she has a hazy beauty in the picture, and she is not wearing a mask.

This woman obviously left a deep impression on the then young Baron Snella.

Thain recognized this woman at a glance. She was indeed his senior sister Feier.

However, in Thane's memory, senior sister Fei'er did not have such a hazy and fairy-like temperament.

The reason why Baron Snera had this scene in his memory... Thain glanced at Baron Snera in front of him, it should be his own reason.

In addition to the scenes from thirty years ago, Thain also recalled the scenes from seventeen years ago from the memory of Baron Snera.

The picture from seventeen years ago is clearer. It is Zorro, Thane's elder brother, and Zorro's temperament at this time is obviously different from that of thirty years ago.

However, Thain did not see the figure of his senior sister Faile, including Baron Snera's own emotions, which also contained a trace of obvious loss and regret.

The weirdness and power of soul science magic has been verified many times.

Thane did not use soul magic on Baron Snela for too long because it might cause permanent damage to his spirit and soul.

In addition to the extraction of some memory scenes, the power of soul magic lies in the analysis of the mind and deep thoughts of the person involved.

No wonder the most common torture method used by magicians in the wizarding world is soul torture.

When it comes to the soul level, no matter what kind of creature they are, there will be no escape.

Glancing at Baron Snera who fainted from looking through his memories in front of him, Thain did not stay in this underground cellar for a long time, but left straight away.

There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason.

Baron Snella in front of him was obviously very excited and grateful for the help Zorro and the others had given him.

But as time went by, this gratitude gradually turned into dissatisfaction and complaint because Zorro did not help them solve all their troubles.

Baron Snera and his family wanted more.

It's just that Baron Snera didn't express it easily. He just kept this idea in his heart, and Thain finally learned about it.

Including Baron Snera, he had some undue thoughts towards his senior sister, Faile, which made Thain even more dissatisfied with this middle-aged man.

After leaving the Snera family, Thain came to a mountain col northeast of Gazes City.

There is a well-built manor here, and behind the manor is a cemetery. This is the ancestral grave of the Snera family.

Carefully taking out a jar of ashes from the space bracelet, Thain dug up the soil solemnly and finally put the jar of ashes in.

From beginning to end, Thain did not use magic, nor did he ask Yuri and Xiaoqi to help.

After finishing everything, Thain stood up and bowed to this unattractive hill.

Thain did not erect a monument to his mentor Moses, nor did he have any other decorations.

I believe his mentor Moshe Duo also hopes so.

After burying the ashes, Thain felt inexplicably lighter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart.

Simultaneously with this relief, Thain's mental power value increased by several points.

Thain did not use a crystal ball to observe how many points he had improved, but this level of improvement was enough to make Thain work hard for several months.

"Master, where should we go next?" Yuli took a step forward and asked.

Patting the dirt between his hands, Thain glanced at the distant sky and said, "North, let's go to the north next."

After hearing Thain's answer, Yuri stood respectfully behind him again.

She is like a loyal guard, always attached to Thane and never betrays him.

Yuri's performance reminded Thain of Baron Snera of Gazes City.

The human heart is truly a wonderful thing.

When you give favors, you may not get gratitude, but dissatisfaction and complaints.

After giving torture, what you gain is not necessarily hatred, but closeness and love.

…It’s really complicated.

Because of this emotion, Thain suddenly had a deeper understanding of soul magic.

Especially some of the things recorded in the Mirachi Soul Code, Thane didn't quite understand in the past, but now he understands them somewhat.

"Let's go to the north." After touching Yuli's head, Thain said after Yuli showed a hint of comfort.
