The Lord of Ashes

When Thane woke up, he found Yuri leaning in his arms.

The recliner in Thain's laboratory is not big enough for two people to lie on it.

Yuri was only half-leaning in Thain's arms. She didn't even put her body weight on Thain.

Probably because he was afraid of waking up Thain.

When Thane woke up, Yuri was still awake.

This Neisser civilization constructor enjoyed the peaceful environment very much. Smelling the scent from Thain, she actually slept very peacefully.

Looking down at his magic robe, there was no trace of mess.

Thain knew that the influence of Mirachi's Soul Code on Yuli was getting deeper and deeper.

Fortunately, this slave girl has no intention of disobeying Thain's will, otherwise she might rebel against Thain one day.

After all, they had been together for decades, so Thain naturally did not regard Yuli as a slave at his own will.

Just when Thain quietly stood up and pulled himself out of Yuli's arms, Yuli, who was sleeping lightly in front of him, was also awakened.

"Master, you're awake." Yuli whispered with a blushing face.

For some reason, Yuli's face was extremely shy at this time, and even her eyes were twinkling.

This was the first time she had acted so boldly and proactively, and she was probably a little shy even herself.

The "Miracchi Soul Code" subtly influenced Yuli's transformation, rather than directly distorting her sanity and judgment.

Yuli now still has her previous values, outlook on life and memories.

She must be shy about her behavior. During the Neisse civilization, many outstanding constructors expressed their love to her.

But Yuli has always been someone who takes the initiative to pursue excellence. This is the first time for her to take the initiative to back down like this.

"Well, let's just clean up and let's continue the experiment." Thain's expression didn't change much. He nodded and said in a calm tone.

The colder Thain acted, the hotter it felt like a fire in Yuli's heart.

Yuri didn't know what was wrong with her. In short, she liked the way Thain looked now and wanted to stay by Thain's side all the time, even if she just looked at him quietly.

"Okay." Yuri replied meekly.

…

Such is the life of a magician.

Three points and one line.

Repeat daily experiments and research, meditate on spiritual power, and accumulate magic power.

Perhaps to outsiders, this is an extremely boring and boring life.

But the vast majority of magicians who are immersed in it don't think so.

They enjoy this fulfilling life. And every experiment and every exploration of truth will give them a special sense of satisfaction.

Thane stayed in the Deep Blue Summoning Tower of the Summoning Alliance for more than two years.

After the initial lease of the Magic Tower expired, Thain extended the lease for another half a year based on the research situation at the time.

Nearly two thousand magic coins were spent by Thane in the Deep Blue Holy Tower during this process.

So, when Thain finally left, the first-level female magician in the Deep Blue Holy Tower who was responsible for receiving Thain was still a little reluctant to let him go.

Not all magicians are as rich as Thane.

Many magicians face the dilemma of insufficient funds when exploring the mysteries of truth.

It is impossible to wander unscrupulously in the study of truth. Even Thain cannot do this.

Although he has money, it is just money. There are also other constraints.

But what's better than other magicians of the same level is that Thain doesn't need to be distracted by resources for the time being.

More than 90% of magicians participate in plane wars not for pure killing, but just to earn a magic coin.

Or explore novel knowledge and mysteries in the process of conquering an alien plane.

Two thousand magic coins are not all of Thain's expenses in recent years.

Since that time, Thain has conducted several long-distance communications with Lina. Each communication cost an astronomical figure.

However, gains and efforts are directly proportional.

Both Thain and Lina's spatial knowledge improved rapidly during this process, and they even completed preliminary experimental conjectures on cross-space bartering.

Maybe it won't be long before Thane and Lina can exchange items through the magic circle.

In this case, will it still be far away before they meet?

More than six thousand magic coins were all Thain's expenses in recent years.

No wonder Thain doesn't waste too much time talking about love every time he communicates with Lina.

Every hourglass wasted represents the consumption of an energy crystal.

Lina's side was a little better. I heard from her that she borrowed the power of death from the underground corpse cave of the Cangke Black Tower as energy source.

Thane was just holding on with his energy crystal reserves.

Only after returning to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, Thain can reduce his losses by using the elemental pool inside the Holy Tower as the energy source of the magic circle.

Thain spent a total of four years in the Summoning League.

He originally wanted to stay longer, especially if he planned to visit the underground world here.

But Thain finally canceled his plan. In comparison, his and Lina's summoning channel experiment and matters related to promotion to the second level were more important. Summon the underground world here in the Alliance... Come back when you have the chance.

After leaving the Summoning Alliance, Thane continued eastward, passing through many small forces and many holy towers and knight halls.

This is the inland area of ​​the wizarding world, where magical civilization is extremely prosperous.

Thain has discovered that in the wizarding world, space teleportation arrays are not a scarce thing.

It's just that Jizhiyuan Holy Tower was established not long ago and has not yet built a complete set of teleportation arrays.

But in most other holy towers, and even in knight halls, space teleportation arrays have become quite popular.

Basically every holy tower has several sets of teleportation arrays, and some prosperous holy towers have as many as a dozen sets of corresponding teleportation arrays.

There are also some holy towers that directly have teleportation arrays that connect to other dimensions.

As long as they pay a certain magic coin fee, any magician can pass through these holy tower teleportation arrays and reach the occupied planes they control.

Of course, Thain is very interested in these small and micro-planes whose names he has almost never heard of.

But after careful consideration, I finally gave up on the more reckless exploration trip to another dimension.

It’s better to wait until you return to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin before making a good plan.

Having been out for more than thirty years, Thain actually misses the people and things in the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade.

…

After crossing a small force dominated by necromancers called "Bell Tower of Bones", Thane arrived at a special area called Fengxin Castle.

The Skeleton Bell Tower Organization owns a total of four holy towers and eleven knight halls. While traveling through this area, Thain purchased a large amount of death magic materials at a relatively low price for use in subsequent experiments.

Fengxin Castle is a special area that is rumored to have been established by a certain sixth-level knight.

The sixth-level knight was also very strange. He did not build a knight's hall, but built such a special link that connected many large, medium and small forces in the surrounding area.

There are no eye-catching specialties in Fengxin Castle. If we say the only speciality, it should be that the transportation and communication capabilities here are very developed.

It claims to be able to deliver magical letters or related items anywhere in the wizarding world.

After learning about this situation, Thain pondered for a long time, wrote two magic letters, and asked the people from Fengxin Castle to help deliver them.

These two magical letters were both sent to the Land of Green Origin, one to the Holy Tower of Green Origin, and the other to the Grant family.

The person who came to pick up the package turned out to be a second-level knight.

After paying the other party a total of fifty magic coins, Thain said: "Please."

The second-level knight looked at the address, and then said with a smile: "If it's the land of Green Source, it can be delivered to you in half a year at the latest."
