The Lord of Ashes

Since she missed the admission period of the Holy Tower, cousin Selina's admission took a long time.

Irene, the official magician, helped to introduce him, so naturally he got the green light all the way.

The only thing that could be called an episode during this period was when signing the enrollment contract for Selina, the somewhat irritable official magician Irene directly reached out to Thain.

Faced with Thane's slightly confused look, Magician Erin asked: "What? I even have to pay the admission fee for you?"

Magician Erin asked back with some anger, causing Thain to choke.

Including cousin Selina, they also noticed the impatience and harshness in the words of this female official magician.

She couldn't help but move a little closer to Thain's position. The only one she could rely on now was Thain.

"How many are needed?" Thain asked.

"Two first-level energy crystals!" Eileen replied.

Two first-level energy crystals are not a small amount of money for first-level magicians.

Such a high admission fee also explains why the college issues two energy crystals to its apprentices every year, including a large number and variety of public courses, which are also taught for free.

However, before Thain could answer, Magician Erin said to herself: "Forget it, let's blame it on Director Johnny. He is your recommended magician anyway!"

"Speaking of which, when those two guys from Terra can't contact you today, why don't they just contact Director Johnny!"

"I clearly filled in the recommendation form at the beginning, Director Johnny. I'm just a guide, okay?" Magician Erin said with some sadness.

Regarding the dissatisfaction of the magician Erin, Thane, like his cousin, chose to remain silent.

As for the admission fee being deducted from Director Johnny... Thain didn't say anything, even though he had the financial resources to pay it.

Speaking of which, I don't know whether to say that Director Johnny is busy, or that he has forgotten about Thain as an apprentice.

Since Thain joined Jade Origin Holy Tower Academy more than five years ago, the other party has never appeared in Thain's sight again.

All that was left for Thain was a list of the other party's residential floors in the Holy Tower.

Of course, in the past few years, Thain has never taken the initiative to disturb the other party.

He must be quite busy. The teachers that Thain has come into contact with in recent years are generally first-level magicians.

It seems that there are no second-level magicians teaching public courses.

…

After completing all the enrollment procedures for Selina, Magician Erin left in a hurry.

Originally, Thain wanted to give the other party two or three first-level energy crystals to show his gratitude.

But still

Before Thain could speak, Magician Erin left in a hurry.

The other party seems to be really busy, and a certain experiment has reached a critical moment.

It can also be seen from here that even though Magician Erin was running the enrollment process for Selina today, she was extremely angry and impatient.

But in fact, this official magician is very easy to get along with and responsible.

As for the other party’s complaining words and expressions of impatience.

It can be understood as the normal behavior of magicians after their experiments are interrupted.

When Thain first appeared outside Holy Tower Academy today, his face was gloomy and scary.

Magician Erin flew directly towards the holy tower building.

In the Holy Tower, flying is strictly prohibited at the apprentice level. Only those who have reached the level of a formal magician or above have certain permission to fly.

Watching the magician Erin go away, Selina beside Thain couldn't help but sigh: "This official magician is a good person."

Although Selena looks like an aristocratic girl who is inexperienced in the world, she is very thoughtful and can judge people accurately.

Faced with Selina's sigh, Thain said nothing.

After looking at Selena for a moment, Thain suddenly asked: "How old are you this year?"

"I am eighteen years old." Selina whispered while holding a pile of apprentice tools.

"So young?" Thain was a little stunned.

An eighteen-year-old intermediate apprentice, he is quite outstanding in the Holy Tower Academy.

No wonder grandpa would be so proud of this little girl back then.

And when Selena came, she should have brought storage equipment given by her family, but the space should not be large.

Being able to get the Ferelen family to take her seriously would at least prove that she is not a waste.

Thain is not good at negotiating with others, even if the other person is his relative.

Therefore, after briefly asking about each other's situation, the two of them inevitably fell into an awkward situation.

Similarly, Selena is not a familiar character. The two stuffy people are here, and the atmosphere is indescribably weird.

After a moment, Thain suddenly realized something.

He couldn't help but slap his forehead and said: "It seems that Magician Erin didn't arrange a place for you?"

The apprentices of Holy Tower College have their own apprentice dormitories, but now is not the enrollment period, so there should be no extra dormitories available.

And with Thain's reputation, he probably wouldn't be able to find the official magicians in the college affairs hall to arrange a dormitory specifically for Selina.

Is it possible to use energy crystals to bribe an official magician to do this?

Thane's depression and headache

Pain is not something Selena can understand.

This girl seems to have a happy-go-lucky attitude.

Since entering the Holy Tower, she has regarded Thain as her support and harbor.

It seems that everything can be solved by relying on Thain.

This mentality is very much like that of a little girl who has just left home.

Looking at Selina's ignorant and meaningless eyes, Thane said with a headache: "Then you can live with me temporarily."

"Okay!" Selena narrowed her eyes and smiled.

…

It is true that Selena has just left the family and is not deeply involved in the world.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.

The wisdom of any magician should not be underestimated, even if he is just a magic apprentice.

Selena is not actually thinking about nothing as Thain thinks. She actually thinks about it a little more.

Long before she left the family, the family elders had reminded Selina to have a good relationship with Thain.

An apprentice who can join the Holy Tower Academy must have a bright future.

Even if Thane is unable to be promoted to an official magician in the end, the classmates and connections he made while at the Holy Tower will be enough to benefit the weak magic families in remote areas such as the Lycian Alliance.

Not to mention, Thain was able to recruit formal magicians for help, and even introduced her to join the Holy Tower Academy, which marked Thain's unusual connections and abilities.

When my grandfather was still alive, he mentioned to Selena more than once that he wanted to find a noble and talented husband for her.

It's just that there has never been a suitable one.

Although the Ferelen family has declined, it is still a magic family and still holds the title of baron.

With Selina's status, it is possible to find an outstanding talent from the Viscount family to marry.

After all, most of the noble families in the Lycian Alliance are knight families.

Many knight families don't mind being associated with a magic family, and Ferelen is not as unlucky as anyone thought.

Before leaving the family, the words that impressed Selina the most were what the family's quasi-magician, great-grandfather Zelato, said to her, "You can actually marry Thane."

"The combination of the two of you will not only purify the blood of our Ferelen family, but also deepen the connection between the Grant family and the Ferelen family."

"Of course, this will be more beneficial to you." Her great-grandfather's teachings continued to echo in Selena's ears.
