The Lord of Ashes

In the end, Mayfair declined Thain's gift.

The corpse of a first-level magician was given as a gift... My junior brother's taste is really unique.

It's not that Mayfair doesn't look down on this corpse, but the value contained in this corpse is too precious.

And judging from Thain's appearance, what he wanted to give to Mayfair was not only the body, but also the magic props and storage equipment of the black magician.

Regarding the senior sister's polite refusal, Thain did not force it.

After shrugging, Thain put the guy who smelled like coke into the space ring.

After killing the first-level black magician, Babaluka, Thain's mood inexplicably became much better.

A lot of the anger in his heart has been released, and now his rationality has returned.

Thane didn't pay much attention to the other black magicians hiding in the darkness outside the magic tower.

After setting up a few magic restrictions, at least for a short time, there should be no blind people coming to disturb them again.

In the evening, after more than thirty years, Mayfair once again tasted the mushroom soup made by Thain himself.

Over the years, Thain has been so well pampered by his cousin Selena that his cooking skills have been ruined a lot.

Mayfair has been living alone on the plains in the middle of Modolon Island for these years. She usually either uses nutritional medicine to replenish her physical strength, or lets a few experimental specimens who can cook in the cage below help her prepare ingredients.

No matter how good the nutritional medicine tastes, you should be tired of it after taking it for so many years.

Those experimental specimens were more afraid of Mayfair than anything else, and with limited ingredients, they couldn't make anything good.

Feier was very satisfied with this dinner.

After a brief exchange with Thane, the two agreed to go to the northern part of Modolon Island tomorrow to visit their senior brother Zoro.

Mayfair usually lives on the third floor of the Magic Tower. That night, Thain took a short rest in the living room on the second floor of the Magic Tower.

Mayfair kept her word, she didn't want to show her ugly side to Thain now.

She had to wait until she was promoted to the first level and regained her youthful beauty before she presented her most beautiful appearance in front of Thane.

Thain also has a certain understanding of his senior sister's mentality, especially as Thain gets older. In addition to Eileen, who is a first-level magician, other people around him, such as his cousin Selina and Meili from the Holy Tower of Dawn, are also Not promoted to one level. Therefore, Thain can also get a rough idea of ​​what these women are thinking.

So far, the people of the opposite sex that Thain has come into contact with and had close relationships with are basically excellent women.

As for whether Serena, Mellie, and Mayfair can be promoted to level one, Thane is generally optimistic and positive.

In short, he did everything he could to the limit, and the rest was up to them.

Before his senior sister Fei'er went upstairs, Thain finally couldn't bear the question that he had been holding in his mind for the past two days.

I saw Thain asking: "Senior sister, do you know the news about Lina?"

Thain's question made Fei'er, who was standing on the stairs, turn around and smile.

"I thought you would keep putting up with it."

"In terms of your attitude towards Lina and me, you little guy, you should value Lina more, right?" Feier joked as if she was complaining.

It seems that there is always an inexplicable feeling of comparison between women?

Thain has behaved well enough for Mayfair in the past two days, but it is inevitable that Mayfair will be jealous of Thain.

This is probably because Mayfair wants to occupy Thain, an outstanding junior brother.

When she was in the previous Black Magic Academy, Mayfair had no similar thoughts.

After not seeing each other for more than thirty years, the bond between Thain and Mayfair became even deeper when they suddenly met.

After all, she was a senior sister, so Fei'er didn't tease her too much about this matter.

Regarding Thain's question, Mayfair thought about it and recalled it, then replied: "When I first came to the Western Islands, I did meet Lina once, and that time she even took the initiative to come to Modolon Island to find us. "

"At that time, Lina had already reached the level of a quasi-magician. Senior brother once said that he was no match for Lina." (ps: Zoro had not yet broken through the first level at that time)

"Lina also wanted to find out your whereabouts through us."

"But we don't have any news here. We just learned that our mentor died."

"After that, we never saw each other again."

"Lina's mentor, Master Felena, quickly broke away from Master Martin's group after returning to the Western Islands. I heard that he went to the north."

"Lina should still be with her mentor. Senior brother or Dean Martin may know more about Master Ferena. We can ask after we find senior brother." Feier elaborated.

After hearing Mayfair's words, Thane was obviously relieved.

It would be good to know that Lina is still in the Western Islands, and with Lina's talent, she might have been promoted to the first level.

The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Thain felt much more relaxed and comfortable.

Senior sister Fei'er has returned upstairs to rest. As a first-level magician, Thain's energy and physical fitness are enough to support him in a state of high-intensity research for a month or two.

Leaning on the sofa on the second floor of the Magic Tower, looking at the twinkling stars in the dark sky outside the window, Thain didn't know what he was thinking.

…

Early the next morning, Thain and Mayfair set off for the northern part of Modolon Island.

According to Mayfair, although Modolon Island appears to be extremely barren on the outside, in fact, this large island also produces some special resources.

For example, the volcanoes in the north-central area of ​​Modolon Island produce some mid- to low-end magic materials including sulfur crystals, red lava, and mist lime beneath the craters.

In the northern area of ​​Modolong Island, there are also some low-end resource points in the soil system and water system.

It is said that thousands of years ago, Modolon Island even had a vein of energy crystals with considerable reserves.

It's a pity that due to the reckless and excessive mining by the black magicians of the black domain, those energy crystal veins have long been exhausted.

The many deep mines left in the western area of ​​Modolon Island mark the former glory of Modolon Island.

"When a normal holy tower or knight's hall discovers energy crystal veins in this world, they will protect and sustainably mine them."

"Energy crystals, the most basic public resource for our wizard civilization, are actually renewable. It is a pity that they have been dug up like this." Thain commented.

"Only during the plane war, the invading legions will conduct destructive exploitation of various resources for those alien planes that do not belong to our wizard civilization." Thain sighed.

"The environment and atmosphere here in the Black Realm certainly cannot be compared with other parts of the Wizarding World."

"For all black magicians, only what they can hold in their hands is theirs."

"How can they consider future issues and the sustainable development you mentioned?" Mayfair chuckled.

"By the way, Modolong Island is also rich in underground resources. There are many underground creatures that live in the underground of this island continent." Feier added.

"Oh?" Thain said in surprise.
