The Lord of Ashes

Different holy towers and knight halls have their own areas of responsibility.

Since the Dark Fire Holy Tower is relatively close to the five holy towers in the surrounding area, there was some overlap during the investigation.

This time, the Xingyang Holy Tower sent out to carry out the investigation mission were Thane's "old friends" Andre and Genis.

In addition to the two of them, many of the other third-level magicians led by the Holy Tower are "acquaintances" of Thain.

Because in recent years, Thain has frequently gone to other holy tower areas to collect magic materials, including the third-level great magicians from other holy towers, who also often come to the Dark Fire Holy Tower area to collect materials, and everyone knows each other.

From fighting each other at the beginning, there was a tacit understanding between them later.

In fact, in the past ten years or so, there has been no such thing as hostility or targeting.

It is said to be a battle, but it is more like a competition between magicians of the same level.

Although there are still opposing emotions between the apprentices of the major holy towers and ordinary first- and second-level magicians.

But at the level of a third-level magician like Thane, there is a tacit understanding between them that is difficult to describe in words.

From a certain perspective, the relationship between the six Holy Towers seems to be better than a hundred years ago?

Thain noticed that the other five holy tower organizations also did not send demigod-level experts to participate this time.

The highest level of existence is the ordinary third-level magician's combat power.

However, the investigation teams sent by other holy towers are much larger than those of the Dark Fire Holy Tower.

The most eye-catching thing is the Xingyang Holy Tower, which has sent more than 300 official magicians.

You know, Thain doesn't even have a hundred people under his command.

After seeing Thain, Guinness, who had a lot of resentment towards Thain, snorted lightly and did not come forward to say hello.

But Andre nodded to him.

Thain has also initially dabbled in and studied Andre's secret of fire element fusion over the years. It is indeed an extremely profound secret of fire element.

But unfortunately, Thain's path is completely different from Andre's.

He could only learn from it a little and study it on the surface.

It is impossible for Thane to give up his own path and turn to pondering the truth of others.

When every third-level great magician embarks on the path of being a demigod, the path he chooses is unique and difficult to copy.

Both Thain and Andre have a heart to pursue higher-level truths and mysteries, and their eyes are always on demigods.

After meeting with the Holy Tower team in the surrounding area, Thane called to his magicians to continue moving forward with him.

These dozens of magicians are all elite members of the Dark Fire Holy Tower Academy and have rich practical experience.

Thain judged that the reason why the major holy towers and knight halls did not devote all their knights and magicians to the investigation of this task.

They were probably also worried that the so-called fluctuations in time and space would turn out not to be a big rift in time and space, but an ordinary space-time anomaly.

At that time, there was such a big movement, but in the end it was all in vain, and the entire Erie Knights League lost face.

It is better to wait until it is confirmed that there is a real big rift in time and space, and then the Yili Knights Alliance and the wizard civilization will show the true appearance of their huge war machines.

The current status of Thane and others is, to put it bluntly, they are just scouts.

…

Thain and his party continued to move northwest of the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, and finally arrived at the entrance of a graben called "Matoru".

The wizarding world has an astonishing depth of knowledge. In addition to the extremely prosperous and vast surface of the earth, the underground world is also equally broad and deep.

The underground world of the Davill area where Thane was in his apprenticeship is only a small part of the vast underground territory of the wizarding world.

However, because the surface world is more suitable for reproduction, and after the extremely brilliant wizard civilization was created on the surface, the knights and magicians of the wizard world soon set their sights on the more splendid and boundless star realm.

Therefore, the vast underground space of the wizarding world has been developed by major holy towers and knight halls in recent years.

Of course, it may also be the influence of the Guardian rules and the rules of the Holy Tower and Knights Hall.

The wizarding world is obviously extremely rich, but 95% of the resource consumption of wizarding civilization in the past hundreds of thousands of years comes from plundering from other worlds.

As for the resources produced locally in the Wizarding World, except for a very small number that are developed and used, the vast majority are still buried deep underground in the Wizarding World in the form of raw ore. These resources on the wizarding world's own plane are the greatest wealth left to the future by wizarding civilization.

The energy concentration in the wizarding world is extremely exaggerated, and the elemental factors are also extremely active.

It is probably not just because the wizarding world is a top level.

Another possibility is that a large number of energy crystal mines are scattered in various areas of the wizarding world. Because they have not been mined for a long time, they spilled over.

Although the knights and magicians in the wizarding world do not make much use of the underground resources in their own planes.

But compared to the surface, the "bitter cold" and "dark" underground world has become a paradise for many underground monsters and subhuman creatures.

Especially subhuman creatures. According to statistics from data and systems, 89% of the subhuman species in the wizarding world all live underground.

The so-called demi-human species include not only the short, despicable cavemen or gray dwarves that Thain saw during his apprenticeship, but also some special groups with ancient bloodlines.

The lineage of demi-human creatures in the wizarding world is only slightly smaller than the lineage of the sea family, but it is still an extremely large group.

As human beings, the knights and magicians of the wizarding civilization agreed to allow these subhuman populations to reproduce underground in order to ensure species diversity and prevent these creatures from the same plane from the wizarding world from being overtaken by more competitive humans. , those who were excluded were completely extinct.

Thain once saw in the Holy Tower Library that in the history of wizard civilization, the demihuman race had also created relatively brilliant civilizational achievements.

It's a pity that time is too long. The history of wizard civilization is still written by human knights and magicians. Many historical records from ancient times have become unclear and the distortion is extremely serious.

If Thane wants to truly explore the truth, he probably has to go to the Sky City.

As a holy place for wizards and civilized casters and the core of civilized knowledge, the City in the Sky must have the most complete set of civilized historical materials.

However, one thing that Thain knows at this stage is that although the demi-human species is not as powerful as the sea tribe, the best of these underground tribes also have powerful individuals who have reached the fourth level of life or above.

When Thain was in his first level, he traveled around the wizarding world, and also briefly visited the underground world in a certain area.

This piece of information was what he collected at that time.
