The Lord of Ashes

The Corrosive Cane is the highest-quality magic equipment that Thain personally started and attempted to make after studying alchemy for several years.

Looking at the name, you can tell that this corrosive cane is a replica of the acid cane given to him by Thane's copying mentor Moshedo.

It's a pity that Thane doesn't have as many years of alchemy knowledge as his mentor Moses, including his mental strength and sensitivity to the power of elements, which are far inferior to his mentor.

Coupled with the limitations of the material level... After a lot of hard work, this piece of equipment is just on the threshold of an intermediate magic item.

But it’s enough to excite Thane!

Including if his mentor Moshe Duo or his senior brother Zorro knew about this, they would definitely admire him and praise him a few words under normal circumstances.

"This corrosive cane is made by me using the magic crystal and skull of the intermediate-level monster Saltwater Crocodile as the main materials."

"Due to the lack of some rare materials and the fact that my alchemy skills have not reached the level of my mentor's, the cooling time of this corrosive cane is a full forty hours."

"And what is released is only intermediate-level magic corrosive mucus, so you have to use it carefully at the right time." Thain said to Meili in front of him.

The source of power inspired by the corrosive slime is not the magic circle described by Thain, but the elemental power within the giant crocodile skull and magic crystal.

That's why the cooldown time is so long, and it doesn't have the dual effects of restoring mental power and magic power that Thane's own acid cane has.

After receiving the corrosive staff from Thane, Mellie's expression was complicated and touching.

Her lips moved, wanting to say something.

But under Thain's serious and solemn gaze, he still did not say any words of rejection after all.

More than four years have passed, and Meili has also transformed from the little girl who has not grown up, into a graceful young girl.

She is two years younger than Sean and is now eighteen years old. She has long emerald green hair that always makes people feel relaxed and happy.

And in terms of height, she has surpassed Lina, whose body shape has never changed.

It’s just that her breasts are mediocre, not as spectacular as Lina’s.

In the end, Mellie didn't say anything under Thain's gaze, but after returning home, her girlfriend Lina couldn't help but ask: "Does the corrosive cane have any effect on you?"

Wrong effect. If you give it to Meili, what will you do with yourself? "

There wasn't much complaint in Lina's tone, after all, Meili had also made a lot of potions for them in the past six months.

Especially the intermediate recovery potions and vitality potions, even if Lina is a senior apprentice, she can definitely use them, and they can even save lives at critical moments.

Lina's question was just concern. She hugged the person in front of her who was not even close to her shoulders. Thain said softly: "No matter how outstanding my alchemy ability is, the corrosion cane is already my limit, but you Don’t forget, I also have a mentor.”

When Lina heard this, her eyes showed surprise, "You mean?"

Thain nodded and said, "Although my mentor hasn't said anything yet, I know that he will never sit back and let me and my senior sister be put in danger."

"With the instructor's ability, even high-level magic items are nothing unusual."

"I believe our mentor will leave us corresponding trump cards and life-saving means." Thain said to Lina.

…

The half-year period has arrived.

All apprentices at the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City finally received the official announcement from the academy on this day.

When the college's senior officials issued this announcement, it was quite sudden.

Other than notifying all apprentices to leave for Shadow Valley in three days, no further information was revealed.

Only rare words such as "space-time rift" and "alien plane" are faintly spread among the apprentice group, indicating that these black magic apprentices have a rough idea of ​​what they are about to face.

No, these black magic apprentices don’t know!

Without actually visiting an alien plane in person, just getting one or two words from a few words, what kind of knowledge is that?

Only people like Thain, who have received the news in advance, checked relevant materials, and had mentors to help them, can be considered prepared.

Other apprentices below the lower level are really just going to die.

When the academy apprentices are hesitant or confused about the upcoming mission in Shadow Valley.

On the top floor of the central teaching building of the Black Magic Academy, a meeting belonging to the official black magicians began quietly.

The last person to enter this conference room was Thane's mentor, Moshe Duo.

When he walked in, sixteen formal black magicians were already sitting in the conference room, and he was the last one to arrive.

Although he was the last one to arrive, none of the black magicians present, including Dean Dadalon, said anything.

These black magicians basically know what Moses has been busy with recently. It is no exaggeration to say that whether the Shadow Valley can successfully open the space-time rift this time mainly depends not on the three deans, but on Moses in front of him. many.

When Moses sat down, the meeting officially started.

The first person to speak out was a black magician who always kept a low profile and rarely appeared in the academy.

I saw him directly asking: "If we rush to implement it seven years earlier than originally planned, will we really succeed?"

"There are also no Holy Towers or Knights' Halls near the Underdark, including those smaller magician organizations and knight families, which basically have secret connections with us."

"How are you sure that it is a Holy Tower force that is targeting us?" The official black magician asked in a slightly aggressive tone.

No wonder this black magician is impatient.

Anyone who had just walked out of the laboratory and suddenly learned that the plan that had been prepared decades ago would be carried out in advance in the last ten years without any warning in advance would be as angry as him.

Magicians generally invest a relatively long amount of energy and time in their experiments, especially the more advanced magicians, the longer the experiment cycles they frequently conduct.

The black magician who spoke has reached the late level of personal strength and is among the best among the seventeen black magicians in the conference room.

The experiment he had just concluded had lasted for five years, and he had indeed missed a lot of information and information without leaving home.

"Jetta, it's up to you to explain." Dean Da Dalon, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room, said.

At this time, most of the black magicians' eyes followed the dean's words and turned to the black magician on the right side of the conference room who was wrapped in numerous bandages and had obvious traces of flame element particles.

This is a black magician who was severely injured. One of his eyes was exploded, and half of his body was burned by the fire element.

I really don’t know how he survived such a huge trauma.

The black magician didn't say anything more, and slowly raised a silver logo with his remaining right hand.

The moment they saw this logo, as expected, the expressions of most of the black magicians present changed.
