The Lord of Ashes

At this time, Thane was in the center of a broken magic altar.

This broken magic altar is the one that Thain passed through when he entered the yellow sand world.

Fortunately, the altar was not completely destroyed and still has some operational capabilities, otherwise Thain would not be able to come back.

It was only after discovering the magic altar at his feet that Thain realized that the place he was now in was Shadow Valley.

The Valley of Shadows, which was once brightly lit like daylight, is now dark, which seems to confirm its name.

Because he had survived for too long in the hot and dazzling environment of the yellow sand world, Thain, who had just returned to the Underdark, had not yet recovered his night vision.

Including the scrapping of the Pale Mask is also a big loss.

Don't look at this small mask, it is only a low-level magic item.

But Thain, who has become accustomed to using it, believes that its value is not inferior to ordinary intermediate magic items.

In addition to finding ways to repair it in the future, Thain can completely use his alchemy ability to add some other functions to it to improve its quality.

Equipment is also a part of strength.

If Thain had as much equipment as his senior brother Zorro or senior sister Faile when he was in the yellow sand world, he probably wouldn't have been homeless and wasted in the yellow sand world for two years.

As Thane gradually adapted to the darkness, he finally saw his surroundings clearly.

What you see is ruins and wreckage.

The entire valley terrain of Shadow Valley also turned into a small basin due to the collision of indescribable forces.

The collapsed magic tower and the ravaged ground mark the fierce battles that took place here.

Thain did not see any dead bodies.

Presumably, even if there are corpses, they were either collected by the warring parties or digested by the ecological environment of the underground world.

In the Underdark, there will never be a shortage of "scavengers".

The only thing that was not deeply affected by the war was the magic altar where Thain was at this time.

This is also a blessing among misfortunes. Except for a few cracks across the altar, the entire altar has not collapsed or sunken.

This is also the reason why this altar can barely operate and bring Thain back.

"What's going on here?"

"How are mentor and Lina doing now?" Thain was shocked when he saw the situation in front of him clearly.

He couldn't care less about the excitement of returning to the wizarding world and the joy of a sudden increase in mental power.

After discovering that there was no more information for him to discover in this Valley of Shadows, Thane looked into the depths of darkness and went there resolutely.

…

Shadow Valley is far away from the city of Mensobra.

When Thain took the float boat, the journey took a week, but now he returned on foot, which obviously took longer.

The lack of clarity on the specific route also means that the time for Thane to return to Mensobra City will be greatly extended.

But Thain doesn't care about the time spent.

After more than two years in the yellow sand world, are you still afraid of this last tremor?

The city of Mensobra is the most likely place where the mentor, Lina and others are currently.

If the Holy Tower organization on the surface even captures that place, I am afraid that there will be no room for black magicians in the entire Dark Region.

"Don't let anything happen!" Thought to himself, Thane rushed towards Mensobra City.

Even in order to rush for time, Thain didn't pay much attention to his diet.

I ate mushroom soup for more than two years, and continued eating it after returning to the Underdark.

Apart from killing a low-level monster Salamander lizard he encountered by chance and performing a tooth-smashing ceremony, he only collected a few edible underground plants to use as seasonings.

Not to mention, maybe it was because of the different worlds he was in, but Thain actually found the same elemental mushrooms a little more delicious.

A month later, Thane finally arrived at the border area of ​​Menzobra City.

Also while passing by a small demihuman tribe, Thane learned that four years had actually passed since he left the city of Mensobra.

Except for the two and a half years spent in the yellow sand world, the remaining time difference of more than a year, Thain guessed, is probably related to what his senior brother Zorro said about the time consumption when traveling through the time and space channel.

Especially when Thain came back, such a rough way of traveling was just like waking up again after a coma, but who knows how long it took.

Four years... In other words, Thain is twenty-four years old this year.

After reshaping his beard and hair, Thain was able to escape the category of savage.

A pair of deep,

With his calm eyes and golden hair, even though Thain was only wearing a cheap black moss coat that was very common in the underground world, his noble magician temperament could not be concealed.

And Thane is more mature than before.

When Thane arrived at the border area of ​​Mensobra City, a violent "rumbling" magic explosion suddenly sounded!

The battle in Mensobra City continues!

The battle is still going on, which means that the city of black magicians has not been lost, and it also means that the mentor, Lina and others may still be there!

After learning of this situation, Thane immediately rushed towards the center of Mensobra City.

However, when he could see the towering city head of Menzobra in the distance, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Most of the once majestic city head and solid walls collapsed under an unknown force of blow!

Rather than saying that the battle between the black magicians and the magicians of the Holy Tower on the surface is still going on, it is better to say that the black magicians in Mensobra City are struggling to resist the attack of the magicians of the Holy Tower on the surface and trying to make a move. The final struggle.

The place where the explosion just occurred should be the Academy of Black Magic in the center of Mensobra City.

Thick black smoke billowed from the city of Mensobra.

But what is somewhat surprising is that the city of Mensobra itself did not fall into too much chaos.

Thain even saw the civilians living in the city, maintained by some strong human beings wearing armor, maintaining basic order and gradually walking out of the increasingly chaotic city.

These armored humans did not have any elemental fluctuations, but the vitality and faint threat they possessed gave Thain the pressure to face an official black magician.

This is a being whose strength is comparable to that of official magicians. Are they... knights?

Many tauren corpses fell on the ground, as well as many dark creature remains that were torn in half.

Those who marked their killing were most likely these knights holding sharp weapons and wearing armor.

Just staring at one of the knights for a little longer, Thain felt a slight sting in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, "Zheng!" A spear came through the air and pierced the dark corner where Thain was hiding.

"Who is it?!" At the same time, a shout came.
