The Lord of Ashes

When Sylph left in the floating boat, Thane did not realize that there was an acquaintance in the floating boat high in the sky above him.

Sylph on the deck of the floating ship looked at Thain and Lina who were walking together below with interest.

Sylph had not met Lina before, but she was relatively familiar with Thain.

After examining him a few more times, Sylph finally confirmed that the other person was indeed her junior brother Thain.

"I heard that Junior Brother Thain missed the Knight Continent trial this time because he was traveling in the wizarding world."

"But since the other party is here now, and there is a female magician accompanying him, tsk tsk..." Sylph stared at Lina a few times, as if she wanted to see the other party's appearance clearly.

"I have long heard that Junior Brother Thain is very romantic. During the Poison Fire Green Flame World War, he was very close to a female magician from the Jade Source Holy Tower."

"Besides studying magic, he still has the energy to do this? So how exactly did he go so deep into the field of magic?"

"And in my impression, junior brother is very introverted and withdrawn. Why is he so good with women?" Sylph couldn't help but be curious.

For now, no one can answer Sylph's doubts.

It is estimated that one day in the future, Sylph will have to ask Thain to find out.

The power systems on both wings of the aerostat ejected two white streams of air, driving the aerostat to fly east of the wizarding world.

Based on the geographical distance between the Western Islands and the Holy Tower of Green Fire, even if there is an airship to travel, it will take more than half a year for Sylph to go back.

In the sky, a floating ship gradually moved away, but it did not attract any attention from Thane and Lina.

But Lina looked up a little strangely.

"What's wrong?" Thain asked beside him.

Lina shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just felt like someone was spying on me just now."

When Thain heard this, his face became slightly more solemn and he said, "Did someone recognize your identity as a black magician?"

"Then let's get out of here quickly and try to avoid large cities in the future."

"This is not a dark area after all, so we should be careful," Thain said.

"Yeah." Lina nodded obediently.

Unlike when he was a child, Thane had to listen to Lina's words.

Nowadays, more often than not, Lina listens to Thain's wishes. It's not because Thain is stronger than her, but Lina is also a woman, and sometimes, she also needs a solid chest to rely on.

The group of two people quickly left this place. During the following days heading to the northern part of the Western Islands, Thain and Lina almost always passed through some small and medium-sized cities.

Perhaps because they spent more than twenty years in the Knight Continent trial area in experiments and combat trials, in the past year, Thain and Lina rarely conducted any in-depth experimental research.

The two people were walking in the Western Islands just like ordinary travelers.

Since the Western Archipelago is composed of thousands or tens of thousands of islands, the area of ​​each island can be called a small continent.

Therefore, the customs, customs, environment and landforms in the Western Islands are also very different.

Walking here, passing by islands and countries, you can experience different customs and cultures.

It was only then that Thain began to truly look at the underlying landscape of the Wizarding World from a personal perspective.

In the past, Thane traveled across half of the Wizarding World, from the Land of Green Source to the Western Islands.

But looking at the areas he passed through on his way to the Western Islands, Thain seemed to have not carefully observed what was going on there, let alone actively experienced life like an ordinary person.

First-level magician Irene said that Thain was a dull person who had never even attended a noble ball.

Even the first noble dance step was taught to him step by step by Irene.

Now walking with Lina, Thane finally began to enjoy life and this magnificent and dazzling world like a real person, instead of being a pure experimental research machine like in the past.

During the journey back to the Western Islands, Thane and Lina dressed up as nobles more than once and participated in balls held by nobles in some small and medium-sized cities they passed through.

Just like Erin did, the first noble dance step Lena learned was taught to her by Thain.

When the two danced on the pure white marble floor of the luxurious aristocratic castle, Thain and Lina only had each other in their eyes.

…

Unforgettable time is always short.

Even though Thane had slowed down in the second half of the journey, after two years, he and Lina still arrived in the northern part of the Western Islands.

The special geographical environment of the Western Islands has meant that in the past two years, Thain and Lina have spent more than half of their time on ships and sailing.

For hundreds of evenings, the two of them watched the sunset set under the sea together, and at night, they looked up at the stars in the sky.

The stars in the wizarding world are very bright at night. This is because there are a large number of fire-attributed planes in the star field surrounding the wizarding civilization.

Every hundred years, these planes contribute a large amount of energy crystals and other mineral resources to the wizarding civilization.

Looking at the stars in the sky, Lina suddenly asked: "Do you think there will be a plane in the future that belongs to us alone?"

Faced with Lina's inquiry, Thain replied in a positive tone: "Definitely!"

"I will use that plane as a gift to commemorate our relationship!" Thane said to Lina with an expression.

Lina leaned on Sean's shoulder with a look of relief and joy on her face, watching the stars in the sky with him.

In addition to truth, emotions should also be eternal.

…

After leaving Sertos Port, Thane and Lina generally entered the northern part of the Western Islands, the activity range of the black magicians in the Black Realm.

In normal times, this place still belongs to the central area of ​​the Western Islands. Many holy towers and knight halls nearby strictly prohibit the black magicians of the Black Domain from crossing the border.

It's just that because of the once-a-millennium Knight Continent trial, the nearby sea area has been limitedly opened for a hundred years.

In the past hundred years, black magicians and black knights from the black realm can communicate and trade in this public sea.

Many bold magicians of the Holy Tower and registered knights of the Knights Hall dare to bite the bullet at this time and go to the public waters to trade with those black magicians and black knights.

Interests blind people's minds.

In the face of a rate of return as high as 300%, few people can remain rational.

So every thousand years, gray transactions in this public sea gradually become public.

The black magicians and black knights in the black realm are often very disciplined at this time, and there are almost no cases of gangsterism.

If there are really some black knights and black magicians with dirty hands and feet, there is no need to wait for the holy towers and knight halls across the Western Islands to deal with them.

Only those big black magicians and black knights of level three or above will take the initiative to clean up the scum.

Compared with the meager profits in front of them, those higher-level black knights and black magicians value this once-in-a-millennium trading platform more.

Without this semi-public trading market that has lasted for nearly a hundred years, the resource acquisition situation of the black magicians in the black domain would have become even more difficult.

No wonder many local knights and magicians in the Western Islands don't have much aversion to the Black Realm.

The rabbit hasn't eaten the grass on the edge of the nest yet.

In terms of tolerance for the Black Realm, among all regions and forces in the wizarding world, it is estimated that only the Western Islands are slightly more tolerant towards the Black Knights and Black Magicians of the Black Realm.
