The Lord of Ashes

"The regional Holy Tower Academy war is about to begin. What on earth are you doing, you brat?" Director Johnny asked.

"Ah? Is it about to be turned on?" Thain, who was looking a little sloppy and embarrassed at this time, couldn't help but be surprised.

Thain's performance gave Director Johnny a headache.

But at this time, Johnny was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning.

Somehow, Johnny saw a trace of his past in Thane.

It was all for a magical experiment, and he spent many years studying it without sleep or food.

It's just that that happened after Johnny Magic was promoted to an official magician. It's rare for someone like Thain to get himself into such a mess just during his apprenticeship.

Not just Johnny, in fact most of the first-level and above magicians in the wizarding world have experienced this situation before Thane.

All spellcasters who can advance to level one or above have explored the secrets of truth and magic elements, and gained their own understanding and understanding.

And after being promoted to the first level, the greatly extended life span will also allow these spellcasters to have more energy and time to explore the avenue of truth.

Spending just a few years devoting yourself to research in a certain field is nothing.

The longest experiment Johnny Wizard ever experienced took a total of 56 years.

It was also after that research that Johnny found the secret of elemental true body magic that suited him, and used it to advance to the second level.

"Are you ready to be a magician?" Johnny suddenly asked after sizing up Thane for a long time.

"Ah? Yes, yes." Thain nodded.

Thain's mind at this time was mostly still on the Eye of the Sun Mask and the upcoming war at the Regional Holy Tower Academy, so he was a little distracted from Johnny Magician's inquiry.

Giving the guy a sharp look who was still distracted, Johnny said, "Don't miss tomorrow's pre-war mobilization training!"

"Also, try your best to earn a good ranking for me this time and don't fall into the academy war, you know?"

Johnny Magic originally wanted to slap Thane to wake him up.

But seeing that Thain's body was completely blown into darkness at this time, Johnny Magician stopped angrily.

Faced with Johnny Magician's request, Thane hurriedly said yes.

Although after entering Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy, Thain had very little interaction with this second-level magician.

But it can be seen that the grade director still cares about Thain.

.

After making sure that Thain was okay, Johnny Wizard quickly left Thain's residence.

The two official magicians who came with him also left immediately.

Before leaving, Magician Erin made a teasing face to Thane.

I don’t know if he was laughing at the sloppy appearance of Sean at this moment.

After watching Johnny Magic and others leave, Thain turned to look at his bombed-out, smoking house.

This is the first time that Thain's laboratory has exploded since he came to Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy.

Because unlike when Grant took over, there were so many attendants and servants to help.

So faced with a house filled with smoke and debris, Thain had no choice but to clean it up himself.

Fortunately, there is Selena nearby who can help. With the power of magic, it doesn't take long to clean up a house.

After returning to the laboratory, Thain did not immediately start cleaning up the surroundings, but walked straight towards the alchemy table.

The violent explosion just now destroyed most of the objects in Thain's laboratory, but the solid alchemy table was not greatly affected.

However, many of the instruments on the alchemy table were damaged in the explosion, but a golden light was very eye-catching in the dark laboratory at this time.

This is a pale golden mask with a slight fire element pattern appearing around the mask, giving this golden mask a sense of nobility and mystery.

Six clear light element crystals are embedded in the center and both sides of the mask. From a distance, they look like six strange eyes.

This is the top magic weapon that Thain spent three years and worked hard to finally successfully produce.

After actual inspection, this magic weapon has exceeded the scope of the apprentice class and has reached the level of the official magic weapon.

For Thane, who was still just a magic apprentice, this was no less than a miracle.

"Regional Holy Tower Academy War?" Touching this golden mask, Thain didn't know what he was thinking.

…

The next day, Thain, who had re-groomed his appearance, arrived at the central teaching building hall of Holy Tower College on time.

When he arrived at the teaching classroom, there were already many people in the classroom.

The apprentices who appeared in the classroom were all senior apprentices or above. From a glance, Thain could see that there were probably more than a hundred people, which was already a good number.

At least Thane had never seen so many senior and above apprentices in the same room.

Thain even saw Mark, who had a problem with him.

We haven’t seen each other for a few years, but Mark is still at the advanced apprentice level.

And it is worth mentioning that Mark was kicked out as early as a year ago, ranking among the top 20 in the academy's strength list.

As the regional Holy Tower Academy war draws closer, the old apprentices in the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue, as well as the capable ones among the apprentices, have emerged one after another.

Nowadays, the top twenty people in the Holy Tower Academy's power list are all quasi-magicians.

Thain also saw many old men in the classroom who were obviously not young, and almost all of these old men were in the quasi-magic class.

Not to mention their high achievements in the field of magic exploration, their age alone means that they must have pushed their mental power and magic power to the limit.

And don’t underestimate these old men. Many of them participated in the last regional Holy Tower Academy war...

"Okay, let's continue talking about the details of the regional Holy Tower Academy war today."

"And all the things you need to pay attention to when you enter the trial space." On the podium, an official magician said.

Thain has been curious about the regional Holy Tower Academy war for a long time.

With the introduction of this official magician, the face of the Holy Tower Academy war gradually appeared in front of Thane.

The so-called regional Holy Tower Academy War is actually an apprentice trial held at intervals in several adjacent Holy Towers in the same area of ​​the Wizarding World.

This is a grand event to select outstanding seeds for the wizarding world.

On a smaller scale, it may only represent the honor and disgrace of a few holy towers, as well as the situation of apprentices and teachers in recent years.

On a larger scale, this is the long-term plan of the wizarding world and the foundation of civilization.

The regional Holy Tower Academy War has a history of exactly how many years it has been in the wizarding world, and few people will specifically trace it back.

However, for the sake of the strong wizard civilization, in the alien war, they will not be killed by ignorant and weak alien creatures.

This kind of military training within civilization is very necessary to be implemented.

Yes, the regional Holy Tower Academy War can also be regarded as the internal training of the wizarding world.

Together with the "Kingdom War Plan" applicable to knights, they are also known as two important training strategies for knights and magic apprentices below the first level in the wizarding world.
