The Lord of Ashes

As time went by, the resistance to Thain and Lina continuing to move northwest in the trial area became greater and greater.

There is another reason. Thain discovered that there are many intelligent life forms in the beast tide, and is consciously expelling them as trialists.

Whether these intelligent life forms are native to the Knight Continent, Thain cannot yet draw a conclusion.

However, he has discovered that among the beasts, there are gradually some powerful second-level creatures.

And as time goes by, Thain speculates that based on the background of Knight Continent, even if there is a third-level or even stronger cleanup, it is reasonable to expel them as trialists.

The sudden increase in external pressure caused Thane and Lina to suffer frequent injuries during their explorations in the next few years.

Thanks to the Dragon Turtle Tourmaline's breath-containing technique, the effect is really exaggerated.

Although several times, Thain and Lina were almost discovered by the powerful second-level cleaners, they managed to escape without any danger every time.

It's not that Thane and Lina are afraid of those second-level cleaners, but because these cleaners are in the midst of a beast tide, with thousands of powerful monsters around them for them to dispatch.

No matter how conceited Thain and Lina are, it is impossible for two people to fight against a large group of beasts and a second-level monster.

In the eighteenth year that Thain entered the trial area of ​​​​Knight Continent, he and Lina met a wizard world creature who was also a trialist for the last time.

"Oh? I didn't expect anyone to reach this place..." A purple-haired man with his eyes covered with black cloth sat on the treetop and said to Thain and Lina in surprise.

At this time, Thain and Lina were still in the breath-holding form. Without using his eyes and other mental detection methods, it was incredible that the purple-haired man could find Thain and the two hiding in the dark.

The purple-haired man had two crossed swords slung across his waist.

These two long swords are different from the long swords Thain has seen before.

Their blades are longer and have a curved edge at the tip rather than a straight edge.

The appearance of two long swords marked the blindfolded purple-haired man in front of him as a knight, not a magician.

And unlike other knights, the man did not wear any armor, including the clothes he wore, which were just ordinary brown leather coats without any energy element fluctuations on them.

Looking at the man's body, Thane, with the eyes of an alchemist, only found some elemental fluctuations in the man's swords, boots, eye straps and fingers.

As a trialist entering the Knight Continent, this guy's outfit is extremely simple.

Faced with the words of the blindfolded purple-haired man, Thain and Lina did not reply for a while. By coincidence, Lina's left arm was injured in a previous attack by a beast wave.

Although Thain himself was not seriously injured, his mental strength and magic power were not at their peak.

Therefore, there was not much thought of in-depth communication with this knight whose origin was mysterious and whose aura was not discernible at all.

Over the years in Knight Continent, they have not seen many disputes between knights and magicians who are also in the wizarding world.

Especially as the Knight Continent trial draws to a close, such fights have become more frequent, and some have even resulted in human deaths.

Although the purple-haired man did not see the alertness of Thane and Lina, he could feel it.

He chuckled lightly and said, "I am a swordsman from the Desert Kingdom. I didn't expect that there are still people in this trial area who can come here. There are indeed many geniuses in the wizarding world."

"You still plan to continue heading northwest, right?"

"I wish you success, because that is the end of this trial area and the junction with another trial area."

"Ahem, it's a pity that I can't move on."

"I wonder what the scenery is there?" the purple-haired man said with a slight cough.

It was also at this time that Thain discovered a trace of blood on the man's lower back.

It seems that the opponent has also experienced a hard battle before, and may not be in better condition than Thain and Lina.

The purple-haired man's proactive statement made Thain relax a lot of his wariness against him.

I saw Thain saying: "I am a magician from the Holy Tower of the Origin of Blue. We do intend to continue to move northwest."

"Where is the junction with another trial area? What level is that trial area?" Thain couldn't help but ask.

The purple-haired man shook his head. He didn't know. He had only judged that there was another trial area adjacent to it through some details and other aspects of contrast.

The communication between Thane and the purple-haired man was limited to this.

They didn't even tell each other their names, they just knew each other's origins.

But based on the special aura of the purple-haired man, Thain judged that the opponent's strength was no less than that of himself and others, and might even be stronger.

Because knights only need to hone their skills and combat prowess, while magicians often need to be distracted by experiments.

If we fight at a distance, the magicians will naturally have the upper hand with more methods and trump cards.

But in close combat, knights often have more initiative.

However, the shortcomings of the knight profession are also obvious. Even if the purple-haired knight has a natural talent, his exploration in the knight continent will come to an end.

But Thane and Lina can continue to explore this trial space for a while with their own strength and wisdom.

This won't take too long, but it will definitely bring them more benefits than before.

After the blindfolded purple-haired knight, Thain did not see any testers in the trial area.

In Nuoda's trial area, it seemed that there was only the tide of beasts sweeping past, and Lina in front of him.

As we continue to move northwest, dangers and opportunities coexist.

Perhaps because there were no other trialists, Thain and Lina discovered and explored two more small secret realms during the process, and harvested a lot of rare resources.

Thain even received a fighting qi technique that can be practiced up to the third-level Sky Knight stage.

Of course, Thain himself has no use for this fighting qi technique, but he can bring it back to be used by the knights of the Grant family.

At least in terms of grade, this fighting qi technique surpasses the Purple Flame fighting qi inherited from the Grant family.

In the 21st year when Thane and Lina entered the trial area of ​​​​the Knight Continent.

The two of them finally reached the end of the trial area.

What you see is a giant translucent energy light film that has no end and stretches across the sky.

The existence of the energy light film separated the trial area where Thain was located from another trial area.

The trial area where Thain is located is full of jungles and trees, while the trial area on the other side of the light film is full of mountains and plateaus.

An elemental vortex appeared directly under the light film, and a "rumbling!" beast wave was rushing over from the other side across the border.

Sure enough, this was the real source of the beast tide in the trial area they were in.

Thain originally thought that the birth of the beast tide was based on some kind of rejection mechanism.

His idea may be correct, but what Thain never expected was that the beasts did not rush over on their own initiative, but more like they were driven and frightened.

On the other side of the translucent energy light film, "Beep!" came the ear-piercing eagle whistle.

I saw a giant white bird with a wingspan of more than 700 meters flying in the sky.

Although there is a translucent energy light film as a barrier, the life energy level of this giant white bird is definitely far beyond the imagination of ordinary low-level creatures, reaching a life level of level four or above!

"Could it be that the trial area next door to us is a trial place for powerful people above level 4 in the wizarding world?" Thain couldn't help but murmured as he looked at the giant white bird flying farther and farther away from the end of the sky.
