The Lord of Ashes

Before leaving the Western Isles, Thane spoke a lot to Lina and Faile.

Many of the things that Thain had said to Lina took the trouble to say many times in the trial area of ​​​​the Knight Continent.

But Thane just wanted to say it, and Lina wanted to hear it.

Although he didn’t say as many words to Mayfair as Lina, many of them were pertinent words from Thain.

"Senior sister, if there is no need to keep the slave creatures in the underground laboratory of your magic tower, let them go." Thain said to Mayfair.

Thain does not want Mayfair to completely degenerate into a pure black magician.

Mayfair also heard the words of the giant mermaid Bai Xing that day, and naturally knew the intention of Thain's words.

Nodding heavily, Feier still listened to her junior brother.

In fact, the black magicians in the Black Realm are very keen on human body research and related explorations in the bloodline field, and have achieved remarkable achievements in the fields of corpse training, death, summoning, etc.

External factors account for the majority.

Not all magicians are born with a special liking for biological anatomy and blood transformation.

This is entirely because in the Black Domain, a barren and blocked land, the research materials that black magicians want to obtain are limited.

Under this premise, what type of magic and truth knowledge has the most market?

It’s not just biological research, bloodline transformation, corpse training, creation of synthetic beasts, and undead and summoning magic.

These materials are basically ready-made, using local creatures in the wizarding world.

Within the Black Domain, basically every black tower has established its own underground corpse cave and consciously cultivated a forest of monsters.

Is it really just to satisfy the evil interests of some black magicians?

Of course not, not because this type of resource is easy to establish and sustainable.

After receiving assistance from Thain, Mayfair basically had no shortage of resources. Naturally, there was no need to delve into areas such as bloodline transformation and corpse-synthesizing beasts that she was not good at.

In the end, Thane thought about it and gave Mayfair a metal puppet to serve her in her future life.

This metal puppet was a legacy left by Moses to Thain. When Thain was still in the apprenticeship stage, this puppet helped Moses organize the housework.

However, after going to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, Thain was busy with experiments and could not take care of the metal puppet. Later, he received attentive service and daily care from his cousin Selena, but there was no room for this metal puppet to perform.

Giving the metal puppet in front of me to Feier seems to be the most appropriate thing now.

But it was obvious that Mayfair was not aware of Thain's intentions. Keeping a few slaves to serve him was nothing to her, as long as they were not killed.

After looking around in wonder at the gift given by Thane for a few times, Feier said, "I'll give it to my senior brother."

"Senior brother must like this puppet very much. Maybe it has been in the mentor's laboratory longer than our apprenticeship."

Regarding Mayfair's suggestion, Thain was stunned for a while, and then agreed with her statement.

…

The atmosphere before leaving is always accompanied by reluctance and sadness.

But when Thane actually set foot on the road to leave the Western Islands, deep down in his heart, he no longer felt the same shyness as before.

Perhaps, this is also because Thain felt relieved after meeting Lina and others and knowing their current situation.

Including Sean and Lina, they all now have a common motivation in their hearts.

That is to unravel the mysteries of space as soon as possible so that we can meet again in the world of the dead in the future.

Based on Lina's research progress, this time will not be too far away.

Optimistic estimates suggest that breakthrough progress can be achieved in as little as fifteen years or as long as thirty years.

For those who have been promoted to the first level and have a life span of nearly a thousand years, this time is really not long.

Not to mention, both Thain and Lina were about to hit the second level at this time.

The theoretical lifespan of a second-level magician in the wizarding world is three thousand years.

…

Across the ocean, from the Western Islands to the East Coast, Thain's means of transportation is an ocean giant crab with a body size of nearly 400 meters.

This thing should also be considered a Neptune type, but it is not as exaggerated in size as the ones Thain encountered before, and its strength is not as strong.

What I’m talking about here is that it’s not strong, it’s compared to the pets that are close to Bai Xing.

In fact, this big guy with a physique of nearly 400 meters also has a third-level life level.

Since there are few Level 4 creatures in the Wizarding World, this thing can definitely be regarded as the dominant player in the nearby sea area.

Originally, Bixi planned to send off to Thain in person, but was declined by Thain. Thain knew very well that he could not spend too much on his friendship with Tourmaline.

This brief separation actually helps deepen their relationship.

Tourmaline had promised Thain before that it would go to the Holy Tower of Source of Jade to find her.

After knowing Tourmaline for so many years, he still believes in the quality of Tourmaline.

Of course, Thain couldn't just stay and waste time while drifting across the ocean on the back of this giant ocean crab.

Taking advantage of the crab's wider back, Thain arranged several laboratories.

In recent times, Thain has been studying more cans of whale oil he obtained from narwhal whales in the North Sea.

After combining these whale oils with many auxiliary materials, Thain made a special potion specifically for his body refining experiments.

"Ice Burning Potion" is the name given by Thain to these reagents. For some time, their effect on Thain's tempering body has been better than Thain expected.

"The thirteenth ice-burning quenching experiment has begun, you go ahead." Leaning on the experimental stand, Thane said to Yuli in front of him.

Since leaving Knight Continent, Yuli, Xiao Qi and the others have been able to freely enter and exit Thane's space equipment.

Lina has also seen creatures such as Yuli and Xiaoqi.

She even made a dark crystal necklace for Xiao Qi and hung it around Xiao Qi's neck to express her gratitude for Xiao Qi's help to Thane.

Regarding the existence of the constructor Yuli and the other female mermaid, Lina did not show too many strange emotions at the time.

She already occupies too much weight in Thane's mind, and there is no need to occupy him all.

Even Thain's cousin Selena, whom she has never met, and Meili, whom she has not seen for many years, each prepared a gift for Thain to take back.

Only Irene's existence, Lina chose to ignore.

Because from Thain's mouth, Lena learned that Irene initially wanted to become a partner with Thain and start a family.

On matters of principle, Lina will never let go.

She hasn’t helped Thain conduct experiments for more than 20 years, and Yuri’s methods are obviously a bit unfamiliar.

Mainly in terms of emotion, she seemed a little nervous.

Some small beads of sweat appeared on Yuli's forehead and chest.

Could it be too hot?
