The Lord of Ashes

The geographical location of Fengxin Castle extends in all directions.

To the east here are the endless plains and the inland area of ​​the Wizarding World, and the City in the Sky is in that direction.

The Magic Empire Abalut is located in the north of Wind Letter Castle.

The Business Alliance Capechi is located in the northeast of Fengxin Castle.

With the wizard continent's more convenient transportation tools such as space teleportation arrays and floating ships, it doesn't take much effort to get there.

The Knights Alliance of Ely is located in the south of Wind Letter Castle, and the Conclave of Fire is located in the southeast of here.

Therefore, after Thane arrived at Fengxin Castle, in terms of distance, he was not far away from returning to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin.

If he were to head straight towards the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, with Thain's speed, he would be able to go back in up to four years.

However, Thane does not plan to return directly to the land of green.

His initial idea was to continue heading north to Windsor Castle, first to the Magic Empire, and then to Cape Chi, Sky City and other places.

It is equivalent to going around in an arc, finally reaching the territory of the Flame Conclave, and returning to the Holy Tower of the Origin of Jade.

During this period, after arriving at the Sky City, Thain could use the teleportation array there to visit the Northland Witch Organization, which he had always been interested in.

The Northland Witches Organization is the most complete and top-level wizarding system in the wizarding world.

Why is the Wizarding World named "Wizard World"? This is a name that has been passed down since ancient times, ancient times and super ancient times, and has been used to this day.

To put it bluntly, wizards are the ancestors of all spellcasting professions in the wizarding world.

Thane and Lina, although superficially they prefer fire elemental masters and dark elemental masters.

But because they have learned so much and have extremely high achievements and academic knowledge in different fields.

They can definitely be called wizards.

Because wizards are the kind of truth seekers who are not bound by professional restrictions, wizards are interested in everything.

Ancient and knowledgeable are synonymous with wizards as a group.

However, in modern times, the wizard system has become increasingly declining. On the contrary, spellcasting professions of all types have flourished. This actually shows that the wizard system has lagged behind the trend of the times.

However, because of the tradition of respecting teachers and righteousness among spellcasters in the wizarding world, as well as various historical factors, the wizarding world is still called "the wizarding world".

I believe this will not change easily in the longer future.

"Each spellcaster profession has a corresponding label. The most eye-catching label for wizards, besides erudition, should be their expertise in the field of 'occult science'."

"If you have enough time, let's go take a look." Thain's finger pressed on the Northland Witch Organization logo carved on the magic map and whispered to himself.

…

After stopping at Windsor Castle, Thain headed north according to his travel plan.

There is nothing shameful in the magical letters written to the Grant family and the Holy Tower of Blue Origin.

The main thing is to report that he is safe and briefly talk about where he has been over the years.

When heading north to the Magic Empire of Ebalut, Thane's transportation tool of choice was a colorful-feathered eagle crane with a wingspan of nearly seven meters.

This is a large mount rented by Fengxin Castle.

Because of its huge size, gentle personality, strong flight endurance, and ability to understand human language, it is very popular among knights and magicians in nearby areas.

"After taking the colorful feathered eagle crane to arrive at Oubre, the border city of the Ebalut Empire, we can then use the teleportation array there to penetrate into the Magic Empire. This will cost less and the journey time will not be much different." Responsible for the rental The first-level knight of Fengxin Castle who gave Sain colorful feathers and eagle cranes said to Sain.

Two months later, Thane arrived in the Ebalut Empire.

As the top force in the wizarding world known as the "Magic Empire", the Ebalut Empire impressed Thane much more than the Mamet United Alliance, the City of Steel, and the Western Islands.

The main reason is that this place is too prosperous, and the magical civilization has developed to the point where it is almost at its peak.

Walking in every city in the Ebalut Empire, and even in every street and alley, Thane could see the shadow of the use of the power of magical elements.

Compared with other areas of the wizarding world, the power of magic is still in the hands of those with extraordinary power.

The Ebalut Empire has extended the power of magic to nearly civilians.

Civilians also have the right to use magic!

Whether it's the magic street lamps spread throughout the cities of the Ebalut Empire, the alchemy-powered buses, or the Elemental Wheels that spread the power of water vapor in the fields.

All indicate that the Ebalut Empire has used magic to the extreme.

Thane even heard the news that the Ebalut Empire conducts aptitude tests for school-age children in the empire every year.

As long as the child's mental power exceeds 10 points, he will have the right to go to the Imperial Public Magic Academy to learn magic.

What's even more unbelievable is that the admission fees for those public magic academies are really pitiful, and even those civilian families can completely afford it.

The almost terrifying nationwide magic craze has raised the comprehensive national power of the Ebalut Empire to an extremely terrifying situation.

It is said that nearly 40% of the magic casters in the wizarding world are gathered here, and the "Magic Empire" deserves its name. So much so that after arriving in the Magic Empire, Thane couldn't help but be curious about another top force in the wizarding world - the Beren Empire.

The Beren Empire is known as the "Knight Empire", and it has always competed with the Ebalut Empire for the reputation of being the first empire in the wizarding world.

In Thane's eyes, the Ebalut Empire was already unimaginably powerful, so what would the Beren Empire be like?

"With the power of one country, it supports hundreds of millions of civilians to learn magic. How on earth does the Ebalut Empire do it? Where do they get so many resources?"

"Also, won't the appearance of so many spellcasters affect the operation of this empire and the cornerstone of its rule?" Thain couldn't help but wonder.

It was with this doubt and curiosity that Thain continued heading north.

While heading towards the capital of the Ebalut Empire, he observed all the details in the empire, hoping to solve the problems in his mind.

Behind any phenomenon that is beyond common sense, there is always something reasonable and explainable.

After traveling to the Ebalut Empire for half a year, Thane's doubts gradually became clear.

The ratio of magicians in the Ebalut Empire is indeed extremely exaggerated, but magic apprentices are still the majority here, and resources seem to be more scarce than in other parts of the wizarding world.

In the Ebalut Empire, almost all of those who go to the Empire's public magic academy to study magic are ordinary civilians without a foot.

Capable nobles and children of magic families basically go to the Holy Tower Private Academy.

Moreover, the Ebalut Empire does not advocate the use of auxiliary medicines including Gran's Water.

The vast majority of magic apprentices rely entirely on their own talents and accumulation of knowledge when they become official magicians.

There are also potions including the Water of Lorraine, but the prices are very high and ordinary people cannot afford them.

This also allows the Ebalut Empire to maintain a very high "money first" craze.

In the Magic Empire, everyone from magicians to ordinary humans are keen on earning magic coins.

This kind of national culture is not something that Thain can get used to.

Because he still adheres to the traditional concept of "knowledge and IQ" and believes that knowledge is the key to the continuous transformation and growth of a spell caster, and money and other external objects are only auxiliary.

But in the Magic Empire, there are not many magicians like Thain who maintain a calm and clear mind.

In other words, there are not many civilian magicians who have Thain's level of consciousness.

All others have fallen into the various bills issued by the Magic Empire officials every year.

It is extremely difficult for low-level magicians to even maintain basic research expenses, so how can they think about other things.
