The Lord of Ashes

The appearance of the quasi-magician in front of him made Thain feel happy.

He just needed to find someone to familiarize himself with the situation on Modolon Island. The appearance of this quasi-magician came at just the right time.

A hand of flame appeared in front of Thain and grabbed the would-be magician in front of the wooden house below.

In the Western Islands, especially the Black Territory, the magicians and knights here have a particularly keen sense of danger and enemies.

Before that, this would-be magician had regarded Thain as a passing senior apprentice and planned to kill him severely.

However, when this flaming hand appeared and felt the surging power of the fire element, the expression of the black-robed quasi-magician changed.

A gust of wind elemental power appeared on the leg of this quasi-magician, and this guy chanted spells quite fast.

But no matter how fast he went, facing a genuine first-level magician like Thain, the apprentice still had no room to escape.

The covering of the flame hands made the quasi-magician let out a miserable howl.

There was the smell of burning flesh and blood in the air.

However, Thain was still very measured in his actions. The would-be magician did suffer some physical injuries, but his life was not worried for the time being.

Thain wouldn't let him die, so even if he wanted to die, he couldn't.

Besides, even if he died, Thain would still have a way to get the information he wanted.

During this time, Thane gained a deep understanding in the field of soul science and magic.

For those corpses that had just died not long ago, he had a certain way to get the information in the other party's mind.

This magical method of soul science is very similar to the method recorded in the records where demons devoured brains to obtain relevant information.

The reason why Thain knew part of the situation about demons and demons was due to the second-level black magician trophy he got.

From the portable magic notes of this second-level black magician, Thane learned the location of the hidden laboratory he built in the Western Islands, and also learned what other assets he had in the Western Islands.

Thain doesn't value relatively basic material wealth because he is not short of money.

On the contrary, it was the many rare specimens in the records of the second-level black magician that really aroused Thain's interest.

However, it is not easy to get to the hidden laboratory of the second-level black magician.

According to the map of the Western Islands obtained by Thain, the island where this second-level black magician usually lives is still north of Modolon Island, closer to the depths of the Black Territory.

The closer you get to the depths of the Black Territory, the more dangerous it is, there is no doubt about it.

The simplest example is that many of the continents and islands in the depths of the Black Domain are dotted with black towers built by black magicians of level four or above.

There are no black towers on Modolon Island and some of its surrounding islands.

On the one hand, it is because it is close to the south, and on the other hand, it is also because the resources here are too poor.

Not to mention those black magicians of level 4 and above who don't like it, even the great magicians of level 3 rarely visit.

Geographically speaking, Modolon Island, where senior brother and sister Thane are located, is still on the edge of the Black Territory.

As for the fallen second-level black magician Van Basten, his island is close to the center of the black domain.

Van Basten's death was unjust. If Tourmaline hadn't killed him powerfully, this second-level black magician who had earned a large amount of resource benefits on the south coast would have had a great chance of reaching the third-level realm.

I have to say that luck is also a part of strength, and Van Basten's luck is really bad.

…

With soul-learning magic, no matter whether the would-be magician cooperated or not, Thain finally got the information he wanted.

He knows what kind of group black magicians are, and has the experience of almost falling into the hands of black magicians.

Therefore, Thain had no mercy for this quasi-magician-level black magic apprentice.

After getting all the information he wanted, Thain directly broke the neck of this guy whose skin was nearly a third cooked.

Without the blessing of any magical element, the corpse of this black magic apprentice was separated by just the power of his wrist.

The powerful physical strength gave Thain the idea of ​​​​continuing to run wildly on this road.

However, Thain finally suppressed this idea.

This is the quality that a rational magician should have. The staged benefits and immediate interests will not affect Thain's judgment.

He is a magician pursuing truth, not a knight pursuing individual power.

The reason why he has such a powerful physique is also the benefit of the Jade Fire Body Tempering Magic he has studied.

On the contrary, if Thane puts too much effort into the field of physical enhancement, it will not have much stimulating effect on his magical elemental power.

Thain can still understand the gains and losses.

"Modolong Island is an ordinary small island on the edge of the Black Territory. Is there actually a second-level black magician on this island? And there are more than one..."

"The fighting and killing situation here is indeed much higher than other areas in the wizarding world."

"Peace is the rarest word here. The reason why the island does not show too strong fighting fluctuations is entirely because the distribution of forces here has been solidified."

"Those black magicians are afraid of each other, so they will not fall into endless fighting with each other." Thain said looking at the horizon in the distance.

Throwing away the body of the black magic apprentice in his hand, Thain continued to move towards the center of the island.

With his strong mental power, Thain had already detected what was inside the wooden house that the black magic apprentice walked out of.

The fragmented body organs, as well as some extremely disgusting living specimens... These bloody things reminded Thane of some of his experiences at the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City.

Black magicians are indeed masters of human anatomy.

Thinking about it, if the situation in the Black Realm is really as barren as Modolon Island, those black magicians seem to have no choice but to turn to the most common "resources" in order to satisfy their desire for research and acquisition of knowledge. Start with—human beings.

The humans in the Western Islands are all "two-legged sheep" raised in pens. If necessary, the black magicians will collect some.

If there is no need at ordinary times, just let them reproduce on their own.

However, because most black magicians are too demanding and have little energy to promote the reproduction of these humans, the population in the Black Territory is getting smaller and smaller.

It's a vicious cycle, but unfortunately no one pays attention to it.

Including the various black towers that represent certain rules in the black domain, they have no intention of paying attention to such "little things".

"This quasi-magician has some knowledge. Is the Black Territory divided into two major areas?"

"The islands east of the Black Territory, occupying nearly two-thirds of the Black Territory, all belong to black magicians."

"The island west of the Black Territory, which occupies one-third of the total area of ​​the Black Territory, belongs to the Black Knight?"

"I wonder what the island territories controlled by the Black Knights are like?" Thain thought to himself as he glanced to the west.
