The Lord of Ashes

In the living room on the second floor of the Magic Tower, Thain and his senior sister Feier talked about each other's experiences over the years.

Mayfair is not a woman who knows how to clean up things, which Thain has known since his apprenticeship decades ago.

At that time, Thain was always forced to go to her apprentice dormitory by his senior sister Feier.

In the more than twenty hours just now, Mayfair probably focused mainly on taking care of her appearance and skin, so that the entire magic tower felt very messy to Thain.

Although it was chaotic, Thain felt at ease.

Because the place was filled with the smell of senior sister Fei'er, which reminded him of some scenes from back then.

Over the years, senior sister Fei'er must have lived alone.

Indeed, without their mentor Moses as a link, no matter how good the relationship between senior brothers Zorro and Feier is, it is unlikely that they will live together.

Both of them had their own experiments to be busy with, and it was also from Mayfair that Thane learned the exact news about his senior brother Zorro's promotion to an official magician.

Senior Brother Zorro was a formal magician who was promoted twenty years ago, not much different from when Thain was promoted to the first level.

As the being who inherited most of the alchemy inheritance from his mentor Moses, senior brother Zorro did not disappoint Moses.

In addition to inheriting the alchemy ability of his mentor, Zorro also inherited many of Moses' connections in the Black Realm.

Even though Moshe was relatively inconspicuous in the Black Magic Academy, he actually had a wide network of contacts in the Black Domain.

Many black magicians, above the official level, owed Moses a favor, and the alchemy skills they mastered were quite popular no matter where they were.

It was also by relying on the connections left behind by their mentor that Zorro and Feier got through the most difficult decade after arriving in the Black Realm.

It was not until Zorro was promoted to the first level and showed his alchemy ability that the two of them truly established a foothold in the Black Realm.

Relying on the legacy of his father's generation, he can indeed do well in the wizarding world outside the dark realm.

But here in the Black Realm, what people should rely on most is themselves.

After all, the favors Moses accumulated over the years would not be able to protect Zorro and Mayfair for dozens or hundreds of years.

Thanks to Zoro's timely promotion to the first level, they avoided a lot of trouble.

In the Black Domain, including the current Modolon Island, Zorro and Mayfair both have their own enemies.

Being in this big quagmire, it is simply impossible to be alone.

Senior sister Fei'er understands the situation in the Black Territory and the division of forces on Modolon Island better than the quasi-magician whom Thain casually crushed to death.

Under Faile's narration, Thane gradually understood that senior sisters Faile and Zorro are still basically attached to the second-level black magician Joanne.

And the second-level black magician Joanne is now following the third-level black magician Martin to gain a foothold in the black realm.

Martin, the third-level black magician, was one of the three deans of the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City.

Ever since the city of Mensobra was razed by the Holy Tower of Dawn, this faction of black magicians has been having a hard time.

The second-level dean, Dadalong, died, and the other black magicians with first-level strength were either dead or injured.

Most of the people who escaped back to the Black Territory were not injured.

Of course, the heaviest blow to this group of black magicians was the destruction of the city of Mensobra and the fall of the demigod black magician Mejana.

The demigod-level black magician Mejana was the actual builder of the original city of Mensobra and the mentor of the third-level great magician Martin.

At that time, a demigod-level magician and two demigod-level knights from the Holy Tower of Dawn joined forces to target Mejana.

Maijana, who was suffering from serious old illnesses and had a short lifespan, could not get out of the underground after all.

Another direct result of Meijana's death was that the twelve islands in the southwest of the Black Territory, including Modolon Island, directly lost control.

You know, the demigod-level black magician Mejana had a chance to reach the fourth level.

If he could really get the crystal core of the Level 4 creature, the Sandworm King, even if it was a damaged Core of the Level 4 creature, he would have a nearly 60% chance of reaching Level 4.

But alas, Mejana failed.

Correspondingly, Thain knew the tower owner of the Holy Tower of Dawn. After that, a clear crystal core of earth element appeared on the head of a certain magic wand.

Just as it was difficult for Zorro to inherit all the inheritance and connections of Moses, Martin, the third-level black magician, also failed to keep the plate left by his mentor.

At least Zorro has also been promoted to the first level of black magician. Although there is still a certain gap between alchemy and Moses' level, the gap is not that big.

As for Martin, the early-level third-level black magician, it was a bit of a stretch to completely defend the wealth accumulated by a demigod-level black magician in the past ten thousand years.

Today, there are only four islands left under Martin's true control.

And these four are not completely under his control.

It is not easy for third-level black magicians to convince others at the early stage. In addition to those more cunning black magicians of the same level, sometimes even some second-level peak black magicians dare to challenge Martin's authority.

Now the only second-level black magician that Martin can really rely on is Joanne.

For this reason, although this group of black magicians headed by Martin is struggling in the south of the Black Territory, on the whole, it is relatively united internally.

There's no way, we can't survive without unity.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and not all black magicians in the black realm are loners.

Because Zorro has been promoted to the first level and has good alchemy skills, his status is quite high among the black magicians of Martin's group.

With the protection and help of Zorro, Mayfair was treated first-class among the magic apprentices on Modolon Island.

Not only are there special magic towers built, but there is also a shortage of other training resources.

The only regret is that Feier failed to advance to the first level.

As early as twelve years ago, she tried to challenge the official magician, but failed.

The resource conditions here in the Black Territory are much worse than those on the main continent of the Wizarding World.

They also failed to attack the first level. Ana, the quasi-magician of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower, also had a second or even third chance to attack the first level.

As for the black magic apprentice Mayfair, her failure once basically means that she will not be able to reach the first level.

Including that Mayfair's appearance was seriously aging at this time, which was also caused by the sequelae of the failed attempt to become an official magician. Not all of it was due to age.

"Senior brother once said that he would find a way to get me another resource to become an official magician, but I rejected him."

"I know, senior brother, he hasn't had a good life these years. How can I hold him back? He has already helped me a lot." Feier said in a low tone in front of Thane.

Unable to help but step forward and hold Mayfair's hand, Thain looked into her eyes and said, "No, you should continue to attack level one until you succeed."

"I believe you can be promoted to a formal magician, and I can also provide you with the corresponding resources."

"Senior sister, we have to walk a further distance together on the Avenue of Truth." Thain said with a burning gaze.
