The Lord of Ashes

After returning to Modolon Island, Thain's time and routine returned to the same state as when he was at the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue.

In fact, in the past few years, Thain has been on the road.

From the land of green source, it spans half of the wizarding world.

During this period, he flew at high speed, took a boat, used a teleportation array, and finally used the Dragon Turtle Tourmaline as a means of transportation to reach the black area of ​​the Western Islands.

Even though he was stranded in the City of Steel for a year and a half, Thain still traveled a lot during that time.

As a magician with a relatively homely personality, Thane doesn't really like the lifestyle he has had in recent years.

He still prefers to conduct experiments quietly in the Holy Tower Laboratory, pursuing his own path to truth.

In the eyes of some people, this kind of life is boring and boring, and even drives people crazy after a long time.

But Thain likes this kind of life, or in other words, he has become accustomed to this kind of life.

Exploring the unknown is indeed exciting, but Thain still resists it instinctively.

This is a man who looks strong on the surface, but is actually quietly closed in his heart.

So, when exactly did Thain close his heart?

…

On Modolon Island, Zorro's original intention was to build another magic tower for Thane.

Although they were taught by the same instructor, and the alchemy inheritance they received was not much different.

However, Zorro and Thain formed different alchemical styles and development directions due to their respective experiences and concepts.

What Thain is currently better at is making small alchemical equipment such as magic wands, magic necklaces, and magic rings.

Whether it is the Heart of Jade Fire magic wand or the space collar that Thain made for Yuli, they are all his proud works in recent years.

As for Thane's senior brother Zorro, his development direction on the path of alchemy gradually changed to the production of large-scale magic equipment and some rough and practical magic equipment.

For things like the magic tower, Zorro has several design drawings and related magic array chassis in his hand.

Some of these drawings were left to him by Moses, and some were designed by himself.

Thain did not expect that his senior brother would show expertise in this area.

In fact, the development directions of Thane and Zorro also reflect their different living environments and personal needs. Zorro stays in the black realm with poor resources all year round, so his alchemy research is more pragmatic.

With limited material reserves and being surrounded by strong men, Zorro simply could not afford the high price of failure.

Some magic props that are rough in workmanship but have a high success rate and high practicality are more popular in the Black Domain.

The magic equipment that Thain pursues is smaller, more refined, and stronger.

It does look better than the ones Zorro made, but no one can ignore the sheer amount of resources and effort that Thane had to put into it.

Among first-level magicians, almost no one can match Thane in this regard.

Even among second-level magicians, there are few who can be as "lavish" as Thain.

Regarding Zorro's proposal to build a magic tower for Thane, before Thain himself could say anything, his senior sister Faile vetoed the matter on Thain's behalf.

"Let Thain stay with me during this period. We haven't seen each other for more than thirty years. I have a lot to say to him," Feier said.

After senior sister Fei'er expressed her stance, Thain also mentioned: "Senior sister's current status, there is still a great chance of hitting the official magician class."

"I stay here and can take care of my senior sister as much as possible and help her advance to the first level."

After hearing Thain's answer, Zoro looked back and forth between Thain and Mayfair, and then nodded in approval.

"It's true that I don't know how to teach others... If you need anything, please contact me directly. My crystal ball communication will not be closed." Zoro said to his junior brothers and sisters.

After a few more instructions to the two of them, Zoro turned around and flew towards his magic tower.

After Zorro left, the atmosphere between Thane and Mayfair became obviously more relaxed and free.

This may be the reason why the two have the closest relationship they have ever had.

Even though Fei'er's body doesn't support that kind of thing now, the friendship between the two of them is definitely more than that of a senior brother and a younger brother.

…

Although he was temporarily living in Mayfair's Magic Tower, Thane opened another floor underground in Mayfair's Magic Tower as his private experimental space.

After all, the experiments in Thain's hands and the experimental equipment required occupied a large area.

With Feier's perspective as a magic apprentice, she couldn't understand some of the experiments that Thain had done.

Especially the Jade Fire Tempering Experiment, and the Jade Fire Eye Mask Transformation Experiment...

It is a very "unique" thing for magicians to conduct experiments. Thain's senior sister, Faile, is not as considerate as her cousin Selina.

When we first started living together, we were a little uncomfortable.

However, Thain showed great tolerance towards Mayfair in this regard. In addition, later on, Mayfair rarely disturbed Thain's experiments that she did not understand.

Therefore, the days gradually calmed down.

A qualified magician is a master of time management and can accurately allocate his time to every hourglass.

With his senior sister Fei'er, although Thain is not yet able to reach this level, the goals he has set are all progressing in an orderly manner.

Than Zorro is indeed better at teaching others.

It is also possible that Thain was more able to answer Mayfair's questions because of the example of teaching his cousin Selena.

After living together with Mayfair, it only took half a year in total.

Mayfair's mental power and magic power values ​​have improved significantly, reaching around 87 points.

It's a pity that her physique has not changed much. She is older and her body bones are too fragile. Thain does not dare to use the methods of Jade Fire Tempering Body on her.

It is estimated that we will have to wait until Mayfair reaches the first level and her life source is further improved before she can consider related matters.

87 points of mental power and magic power are not enough to support Mayfair to reach the first level.

According to convention and the data ratio recorded in the Holy Tower Library, although those with more than 70 points of mental power can be classified as quasi-magicians, in order to truly reach the level of impact, magic apprentices must at least improve their mental power. Until 90 o'clock.

In this ratio, a magic apprentice with a mental power of around 95 points has a higher chance of success at level one.

Around 90 to 95 points, the success rate is relatively low.

If you rush to Level 1 with less than 90 points, it's not a question of success rate, but a joke with your own life and future.

During the conversation with Mayfair, Thane learned that the last time Mayfair hit level one, her mental strength was at 93 points.

This is a number that has just reached the passing mark.

However, after she failed to attack the first level, the double backlash of mental power and magic power caused her two values ​​to suddenly drop below 80 points.

After more than ten years of recovery, it slowly returned to around 80 points.

Now, within half a year, it has climbed to 87 points, which is already a good achievement.

If this momentum continues, Mayfair will indeed have a high probability of reaching the realm of an official magician.
