The Lord of Ashes

The deep, dark underground, no matter which world it is in, is synonymous with "mystery" for surface creatures.

Better than the obstruction of sight and the psychological pressure caused by the unknown darkness, most creatures that have become accustomed to the surface environment are extremely resistant to diving underground.

This mentality even includes two female knights and tyrannosaurs who are not afraid of anything.

Thain was different. His apprenticeship was spent in the dark underground world.

Including later studying as a magician at the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, Thain also preferred a quiet and dark research environment. I wonder if it was affected by the atmosphere he was accustomed to during his apprenticeship.

Most of the surface creatures in the wizarding world have an inexplicable rejection and resistance to the dark and depressing underground environment. ‏‎‏‎‏​‎‏‎​‏‏‎‎‏‏

Thane has an inexplicable affinity and adaptability to the underground world.

Being in the darkness, Thain felt inexplicably at ease.

Perhaps, only people like Thain, who have been integrated into the darkness and adapted to the darkness, can truly thrive in the dark environment.

The speed at which the third-level Golou earthworm could only escape on the earth was not unpleasant at all.

With Thain's mental strength, he only tracked the opponent for more than ten minutes before he completely lost his sense of the opponent in the complicated underground space.

It is worth mentioning that when they first dived from the surface into the underground, there was indeed only one passage in front of Thain and others, which was drilled out by the third-level Golo Earthworm.

But ten minutes later, when they reached a depth of several thousand meters underground, countless dark holes and a landscape similar to stalactite caves appeared in the sight of Thain and others.

Sure enough, no matter which plane they are in, the underground world has certain things in common.

The underground world of Gumo's plane in front of him reminded Thain of the underground space in the Dark Area of ​​the Wizarding World.

However, compared to the Dark Territory, the underground world of the Akale Plain has a wider internal space and more grottoes and caves extending in all directions.

Being in it feels like being in a huge maze.

The reason why this happens is that the Golou earthworm family are all good at digging holes.

Not only the Akalie Plain, but also two-thirds of the underground space of the entire Gumo Plane has been developed into a suitable living environment by these extremely adaptable Golo Earthworms.

If ordinary Golo earthworms were not too small and intelligent, these Golo earthworms would have established their own country long ago and become the only dominant group in the Gumo plane.

"In the underground world of our wizarding world, because the concentration of magic elements and energy in the entire plane is very high, there are a large number of luminous plants and special minerals."

"These lights, which seem insignificant to surface organisms, are the source of life for the underground world."

"But this Gumo plane... doesn't seem to have many light-based ores and special plants with the ability to emit light." Thain said with a slight frown.

Neither Natalya nor Lenna have ever traveled to the underground world of the wizarding world.

Therefore, the vast underground space is still synonymous with mystery and unknown to them.

Knights have always valued strength more, but at this moment, facing Thain's knowledgeable and calm tone, the two women felt a lot more at ease.

This is the sense of security that a knowledgeable spellcaster brings.

Natalya leaned closely next to Thain's body of light element. She didn't know if she was eating Thain's tofu by the way, or if she was really afraid of the dark.

Yuli, who was staying in the constructed demon doll, curled her lips quietly. She also wanted to go up and lean into Thain's arms, but she could only think about it.

The light element possessed by Thane's true form illuminates this underground world, but compared to the entire vast underground space, Thain's light is insignificant.

While appreciating the underground world of the Gumo plane that was different from the wizarding world, Thain took Lenna and the others forward.

Although it was temporarily impossible to find where the fleeing third-level Golo earthworm had gone, Thain still found many signs of lower life activities by relying on his mental power and several detection magics.

During the war, it didn't mean that Thain had to kill level two or level three alien creatures.

If he can kill a large number of first-level creatures, or a larger number of indigenous cannon fodder legions, the Holy Tower Combat Command will also give him mission points.

This place is located underground in the Akalie Plain. Among other things, there are definitely a lot of Golou earthworms who have suffered certain trauma and instinctively burrowed underground to take refuge.

...Fighting is not the main theme of a magician's life, research is.

Some people may find this time extremely boring, but most magicians in the wizarding world, including Thain, enjoy it.

After arriving in the underground world of Akale Plains, on the seventeenth day, Thain began his own experimental research in an underground cave excavated by external forces.

Only a pervert like Thain could do research while the war was ongoing.

In the past seventeen days, Thain took Natalya and Lenna to many places in the underground world, and also collected many rare resources and materials that are difficult for surface creatures to access.

A gray stone lake that looks like amber, a pitch-black underground river that exudes a pungent burnt smell, some indigenous humanoid creatures with no eyes and only one meter tall‏‎‏‎‏​‎‏‎​‏‏‎‎‏‏, As well as many unheard of and unseen indigenous monsters from the alien plane... These are what Thain and others have seen and heard in more than half a month.

It can be seen that the underground world resources in the Gumo plane are well protected.

The true value of this low-level plane far exceeds the estimate before the war.

To put it bluntly, because these billions of Golou earthworms have unconsciously opened up a second world for the Gumo plane during countless years of burrowing, survival, and reproduction.

The body fluids secreted by the Golodi earthworms have extremely high viscosity, which can prevent large-scale collapse of the underground space of Gumo World, which is full of caves.

The feces excreted by these earthworms, Thain learned through research, also contains extremely high concentrations of organic components and is the best soil fertilizer and nutrients for lower animals and plants.

That’s why we created such a colorful underground world!

If the Holy Tower of Dark Fire successfully conquers the Gumo Plane, it means that in addition to occupying the vast surface world and developing surface resources, it will also be equivalent to an underground world of equal breadth and depth.

Occupying one plane is equivalent to occupying two!

Only the Gumo plane that gave birth to Golou earthworm has such shocking properties.

No wonder the fifth-level magician Dark Fire is unwilling to share the Gumo plane with other powerful wizards of level four or above.

No matter how much money was spent during the war, the total amount of resources and wealth in the Gumo plane was enough to double the profit!
