The Lord of Ashes

A swamp that can trap a first-level knight is certainly not an ordinary place.

Thain noticed that as the wet mud in the swamp continued to drag the first-level knight, there was also a faint halo of earth elements emerging.

These soils are also valuable earth magic materials.

But judging from the posture, it is not something that ordinary people can collect.

Facing the call for help from a strange first-level knight, Thain thought for a long time on the edge of the swamp before starting to take out some magic materials from the space equipment.

The reason for thinking was not that Thain was considering whether to save the other party, but that he was thinking about how to save him.

After finally meeting a living person, Thain must want to get some information from the other person.

Thain's knowledge of Knight Continent is limited to the ordinary information he collected in the Western Islands, which is the kind of information that is known to the public.

The first-level knight in front of him is obviously qualified to enter the Knight Continent. He should know more than Thane.

Compared to knights, magicians are better at using their wisdom.

Knights may be helpless after encountering a swamp that can trap first-level creatures, but for magicians like Thain, they have more than one solution.

The sound of obscure spell chanting appeared in this jungle, and some special gray magic spices were spread out by Thain.

The originally damp and soft swamp, after the rearrangement and combination of magical elements, a straight and hard path appeared.

However, this trail will not exist for too long. Some small whirlpools and slight vibrations appear in the surrounding swamps.

After applying a light body technique and flying skills to himself, Thane quickly rushed towards the area where the first-level knight was trapped.

…

It didn't take Thain much time to rescue the first-level knight Gur.

Those magic spices were not worth much, but Thain also received a lot of thanks from Gur.

A first-class knight named Gur came from the east coast.

The east coast is located to the east of the Western Islands, and is the area that has the most interactions with the Western Islands.

The power of fighting spirit and magic is well balanced on the east coast.

There are even rare special professions such as magic swordsmen and battle mages.

The Magic Swordsman is a knight who majors in fighting spirit. After reaching a certain level of achievement, he begins to study magic and has the power to do both.

A battle mage is a magician who specializes in the power of elements. In addition to the normal path of magic elements, he has begun to explore his own path of melee combat.

He is better at fighting than normal magicians, but at the same time, it also causes his energy to be scattered and unable to devote himself to laboratory research. This is the advantage and disadvantage of a battle mage.

This information was all told to Thain by Gul.

Gur's eyesight was not bad, and at first he thought Thane was also a battle mage.

When Thane asked about the reason, Gur's answer was: "Your control of muscles is not like what a normal magician can do."

"I have met a few battle mages, and they gave me a feeling very similar to you." Under the bonfire in the evening, Gurr said to Thane while tending the flames.

At this time, Thain was playing with the light yellow soil he had just collected, as well as several worms ranging from a few centimeters to more than ten centimeters in length.

This mud was collected by Thain from the swamp. Not only is it incredibly sticky, but it also seems to contain a lot of magical properties.

These little bugs are accessories used by Thain to collect clay from the swamp.

After listening to Gur's answer, Thane nodded, then picked up the squirming little bug in his hand and said: "The culprits that caused you to be trapped in the swamp should be these little things."

"Hmm...weak elemental power, they should be some kind of demonized creatures."

Thain's words made Gur look bitter.

As a powerful first-level knight, he almost fell into the hands of a group of demonized creatures.

Of course, the characteristics of these demonized creatures were extremely weird and magical, but they also made Gur feel very embarrassed.

"You saved me, and I can meet one of your conditions, as long as it's within my tolerance." Gur said generously to Thane.

This guy has a loud tone and seems to have a lot of background.

In fact, there are existences that can enter the Knight Continent to participate in the trial.

Either he is the favored person of a certain region or holy tower, or he is a person with a deep background.

Seeing as Gur was trapped in an unknown swamp just a month after arriving in Knights Continent, it was obviously not the former.

Thain's breath-holding technique makes him look extremely ordinary.

Gur saw that Thane had some qualities as a battle mage, but he didn't know what Thain's specific strength was.

In fact, there is no weak battle mage in the first place.

Although battle mages above the second level are extremely rare, among the first level, they are still at the forefront.

Thain has no interest in Gur's gift. He now has no shortage of resources and magic coins.

"Tell me everything you know about Knight Continent. I'm more interested in the information." Thain said to Gur.

Gur looked at Thain blankly for a while, his mouth slightly opened, and he asked: "Didn't your mentor and family elders tell you about the situation inside before you entered the Knights Continent?"

Thain thought of Lu Lianman who was far away in the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, and then calmly shook his head.

"Your division commander must be an irresponsible guy." Gul muttered in a low voice.

…

The contact with the first-level knight Gur was just a small episode after Thane entered the knight continent.

It was also from this first-level knight that Thain learned a lot of secret information about the Knights Continent that could not be collected by the outside world.

The total number of creatures participating in the Knight Continent trial this time is estimated to be 100,000.

So many people were scattered and distributed in various trial areas in the Knight Continent.

The female magician that Thain had noticed before was not necessarily assigned to the same trial area as Thain.

And the trial areas are not necessarily coherent.

It is very possible that the rule controllers behind Knight Continent just randomly selected a few areas and let these trialists roam.

Not all of the trial participants were human knights or magicians.

Starting many years ago, some sea people also joined it.

This information from Gur reminded Thain of the sea people he saw in Port Allen.

Port Allen is just a relatively close port around the Knights Continent.

There are several port cities like this in Greenland of the same size, not to mention those that are smaller than it.

Coupled with the testers entering from the other three directions of Knight Continent, it is no wonder that the final total number of testers will reach a hundred thousand.

But for the wizard civilization, these are just a new batch of potential seeds that have been enthusiastically born in the wizard civilization in the past thousand years.

In terms of proportion, this group of beings who can participate in the knight continent trial can be regarded as one in a million in the wizarding civilization.
