The Lord of Ashes

The yellow sand world, or the desert world, this is the name given to this world by the black magic apprentices of Mensobra City who arrived in this alien plane.

Even a knowledgeable and quasi-magician named Zorro cannot give a rough idea of ​​how big this world is.

He just said that it would definitely not be as big as the Wizarding World.

The vastness and vastness of the wizarding world, according to his mentor Moshe Duo once introduced to him, looking at the billions of planes in the star world, they are all at the top level.

Thain didn't know how big the wizarding world was, and naturally he couldn't compare it to the yellow sand world in front of him.

But after all, it is a world. After communication and speculation by these black magic apprentices, the area where they have been active in recent months may not be one percent, or even one thousandth, of this yellow sand world.

The apprentice-level field of vision left them with too little to see.

Not to mention the alien creatures recorded in the records as being hostile to wizard civilization.

Just the fact that this yellow sand world is completely different from the wizarding world is enough to make these apprentices who have not even reached the first level of life complain endlessly.

It was also during the exchange with his senior sisters and brothers that Thain learned that these black magic apprentices could last for several months in the harsh environment of the alien plane. The water source was naturally obtained by the water magic apprentices through condensation of water balls.

The source of food is mainly supplied by a few apprentices who master plant magic.

As long as soil can be made using earth magic and there is enough water, the few plant magic apprentices can produce corresponding edible plants.

This must also be the charm of magic, right?

If those ordinary civilians from the wizarding world who were powerless came over, they might not be able to survive even a day.

On the afternoon of the day he arrived at the camp, Thane met Lena.

For Thane, it was just a month since he saw Lina.

But he knew that Lina had not seen Thain for more than four months.

The two people who met again were a little excited inside.

It's just that they hide it very well, especially Lina. Outsiders can't see any emotion from this cold-faced female apprentice.

On the contrary, it was Thain's senior sister, Feier, who expressed her feelings and told Thain that she would introduce a sister to him.

…

The camp built by the black magic apprentices in the yellow sand world is not large.

There are only a dozen portable tents of various sizes located in the entire camp.

These tents were said to have been brought over by a certain quasi-magician, including the tent in the center of the camp, which also contained some special magic equipment.

According to senior brother Zorro, these equipment are the main components of the coordinate generator.

Following his senior sister Feier, Thain arrived at his residence for the next period of time.

After digging holes in the sand for a month, Thain felt really comfortable being able to live in a tent again.

Especially if he has a place that is protected from the wind and sun, at least he will sleep more soundly when resting.

The only embarrassing thing is that this tent is not big.

And there were already people here beforehand.

"No way, Fei'er. Such a small tent can be crowded with just the two of us, and you brought someone else back?"

The voice came from inside the tent. Because there was a curtain in the middle of the tent, Thain didn't see what the other person looked like at the first time.

Just from the voice, I could tell that she was a young woman and she had a good relationship with her senior sister.

"If you find it too crowded, you can go live somewhere else. I want to stay with my junior brother anyway." Senior sister Fei'er said casually.

As the senior sister finished speaking, a female magic apprentice wearing a black robe walked out from behind the curtain.

This female apprentice does look young, but she wears much more makeup than Senior Sister Fei'er.

Those peach-like eyes made Thain feel uncomfortable.

Especially because the other party seemed to have some perfume sprayed on him, which made Thain feel slightly resistant.

Different from Thain's reaction, the female apprentice who walked out from behind the curtain lit up after noticing Thain's appearance.

After walking up to Thain, he not only looked at Thain unscrupulously, but also let out a wild laugh and said: "This is your little junior brother? Yes, yes, no wonder he will make you miss him."

"My name is Marina. In fact, I have heard your name from elsewhere. Meili is my junior sister." This female apprentice with heavy makeup walked up to Thain and introduced herself quite generously.

The first sense of people does not affect Thain's attitude towards the other person.

Spend.

Although he didn't like this female apprentice who was wearing heavy makeup and exuding a strange fragrance, Thain still smiled and responded to the other party: "Hello, I am Thain."

Since Malina is Meili's senior sister, then the other party must also be a disciple of the official black magician Dils.

It seems that the lineage of Master Diers and the lineage of Master Moses are quite close.

Not only are the two official black magicians a friendly alliance, but their disciples are also friends.

I heard that there are two senior sisters above Meili, but I don’t know who the other one is and whether he is in this camp.

After a brief exchange with Marina, Thain, who was already exhausted from traveling for days, consciously found a corner in the tent and lay down.

Lina went to find another quasi-magician in the camp to hand over the task, and would have to come back a little later.

The cozy environment is indeed more relaxing.

With Thain's determination and caution, he fell asleep quickly after lying down.

This may also be related to the fact that the main color of the tent is black. The black environment can easily make people fall asleep and can also remind people of the underground world in the Underdark.

But in the darkness and sleep, Thain vaguely felt someone crawling into his arms.

The other person had an aura that was familiar and reassuring to Thain, so Thain didn't wake up, but hugged her.

"Tsk, tsk, you guys are really having fun, three of you together?"

"I haven't tried it in years, would you mind adding me?" Malina's voice came from the darkness.

"Go away, I don't want you to dirty my junior brother."

"If you feel itchy, go find your Jack or Thomas, and don't bother us." Faile replied in an extremely tough manner.

"Hmph, I'd like to go, but Thomas is only an intermediate apprentice. It's not certain whether he can reach the camp alive."

"As for Jack, that guy was swept away in a sandstorm two months ago, and his body is still gone. Where can I seek solace?"

"Otherwise, I don't want them all. Just give me one of his hands and I'll handle it myself." Marlena also said in an astonishing tone.

This time, Mayfair only replied with one word: "Go away".
