The Lord of Ashes

Although the social atmosphere and national concepts of the Magic Empire make it difficult for traditional magicians like Thain to adapt.

But it is undeniable that this is indeed a holy place for spellcasters in the wizarding world.

The extremely terrifying base of spell casters has made all spell caster professions in the Ebalut Empire flourish.

If Thane had to choose, if he had the opportunity to build a holy tower in the future, he would definitely choose the Abalut Empire.

Because of the extremely exaggerated number of spellcasters in the Magic Empire, once any holy tower is established, the number of registered magicians can easily exceed a thousand.

Of course, the premise is that Thain has enough money.

They are also first-level magicians, and the pressure to survive in the Magic Empire is far greater than that in other parts of the Wizarding World.

When any fourth-level magician builds a holy tower in the Ebalut Empire, the first thing he needs to consider is not the location of the holy tower, but whether he can afford to pay all the registered magicians in his holy tower.

The extremely exaggerated number of spellcasters at the bottom of the Ebalut Empire makes the number of level 4 and above magicians far exceed that of other top forces in the wizarding world.

But the strange thing is that the number of holy towers announced by the Ebalut Empire is only more than 2,000, and the number is less than 3,000.

It is only twice as many as the Mamet United Alliance, and does not reach the number that matches its underlying base.

This shows that many magicians from the Ebalut Empire did not build a holy tower at all after being promoted to level four or above...

As for how the Magic Empire maintains the cornerstone of its governance, Thain later learned that those public magic schools were not completely free of charge.

Any magician who studies and graduates from a public magic academy must serve the Ebalut Empire for nearly thirty years.

As for magicians who successfully advance to level one or above, there are other terms and conditions.

I heard that the Ebalut Empire is the largest slave owner in the wizarding world.

It is the one with the most slave planes among all the top forces in the wizarding world.

Including foreign wars and expansion, the Ebalut Empire and the Beren Empire are also the two most aggressive giants among all the forces in the wizarding world.

Also, without sufficient plane war dividends, how could the Ebalut Empire afford so many magicians?

If one day, the war goes away from the Ebalut Empire, maybe the magic empire itself will collapse.

Its powerful magical civilization was formed by using magic coins as a means of operation, stimulating the economy and maintaining rules.

It is like a huge war machine that never stops moving forward.

Starting tens of thousands of years ago, the Ebalut Empire has begun to restrict its population.

It is also the only country in the wizarding world that limits the number of people at the bottom.

I don’t know if the increasing number of low-level spellcasters has made the senior leaders of the Abarut Empire somewhat unbearable.

…

French City, a city where Thane temporarily stayed in the Ebalut Empire.

It has been a year and a half since he arrived in the Ebalut Empire, but Thane is still somewhat elusive about this top force in the wizarding world.

The reason for stopping in France City is that the cross-border communication experiment between Thain and Lina has made new progress.

Just last month, they had completed their first long-distance barter.

Although the transmission channel still has strict requirements on the volume and weight of items, who knows whether large quantities of items will be replaced in the future.

In the early morning, Thain was still drinking tea in the laboratory. He had stayed up all night last night, and now it was time to regain his energy.

The little fox girl gently squeezed Thain's shoulders to relieve her fatigue, while Yuli was doing some finishing work in front of the experimental table.

Thain's experimental platform actually has a miniature elemental pool that supplies energy.

This elemental pool was not built by Thain himself, but was delivered to him by the City of France.

Not only his place, but also the entire French city has a high-power elemental pool underground, which supplies energy to the entire city.

The energy provided by the micro element pool is much more stable than the energy crystal.

When using this elemental pool, all Thain needs to do is to pay France City a large amount of magic coins every week.

Sometimes Thain is obsessed with experiments and forgets to pay him, it doesn't matter, France City will considerately continue to provide him with it for a month.

If Thain has not paid it after one month, the French city will send corresponding personnel to collect the fee.

At that time, Thain not only needed to make up for the fee, but also added another advance payment.

Otherwise, France City will stop supplying energy to him next month.

This kind of life that is very characteristic of the Ebalut Empire made Thain uncomfortable at first, but gradually, he became accustomed to this kind of life.

Because it's really convenient.

The little fox girl and Yuri were both busy, so the task of opening the door was left to the idle mermaid holding a broom.

France City even has magic apprentices who provide cleaning services to magicians, but Thain has never called them.

Because he doesn't raise idle people, the mermaid can complete this task very well, and most of the time, the little fox girl will also help her.

Outside the door was a magic apprentice who was only 1.5 meters tall. He had some acne on his face. The little guy looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, but he was already a low-level apprentice.

He is a newsboy from France City and delivers a magic newspaper to Thain every week.

As a price, Thain has to pay the newspaper fee of one magic coin a month.

Not only that, France City also has all kinds of weird charging rules.

For example, street lighting fees, air purification fees, etc.

These fees are not much, only one magic coin per year, and are charged on a family basis.

Fortunately, there is no water fee, because most magicians can condense water balls and be self-sufficient.

But this is enough to make Thain, an outsider, feel strange and troublesome.

However, the residents of the Ebalut Empire are accustomed to it.

And those living in cities are basically families with magicians or knights, and ordinary families can barely afford it.

It's no wonder that the Ebalut Empire advocates "money first". This is actually the social environment.

Today was probably not the day for newspaper delivery, so Thain was a little surprised by the appearance of the newspaper boy outside the door.

The freckled boy outside the door didn't know that a first-level magician was in the laboratory, watching him through spiritual exploration.

The little guy was obviously a little nervous when facing the beautiful mermaid, and he said tremblingly: "I have your letter!"

After that, he took out a magic letter from the brown canvas bag with a hint of elemental power.

The magic letter was quickly handed over to Thain. It was strange that someone could deliver the letter here.

After opening the envelope and reviewing the contents of the letter, Thain's aura and momentum changed obviously.

"It's time for us to leave here." Thain suddenly said ambiguously.

Looking at Thain's solemn face, Yuli didn't know what happened specifically, but she still nodded respectfully.

That magic letter was indeed addressed to Thane, and it came from the distant land of Greenland, and was sent by the Grant family.

The Knights Hall of Steel Wall Fist, where the three official knights of the Grant family are located, participated in a plane war fifteen years ago, and then fell into a bitter battle.

Thain's father, Kelman Grant, and the family's two great-grandfathers, Jerami Grant and Ulysses Grant, all participated in that war.

News came in the letter that his father had been seriously injured in the plane war and his life or death was unknown.

In any case, Thain had to end his travels early and return to the land of green.

Before Thane gave birth to an heir, there was no doubt that Kelman Grant was his closest relative.
