The Lord of Ashes

Although there was a foul-mouthed parrot as an interlude, it did not affect the relationship between Thain and Green.

The two of them and Selina were walking in the trading area outside the Holy Tower as usual, talking and shopping for some products that they were interested in.

The owl and parrot standing just on the shoulders of the two of them stared at each other, looking like they were unwilling to give in to the other.

But overall, Xiaoqi still has the advantage.

Whenever Xiao Qi pretended to flap his wings, the flame parrot would tilt its head to hide, for fear that Xiao Qi would hit it again.

Once upon a time, Thain felt that the peripheral trading area of ​​Jizhiyuan Holy Tower was very large.

During his apprenticeship, he thought that there were countless resources and countless products for him to choose from.

But now, Thain feels that the trading area here is still a bit small.

After the group of three people completed the trading area, Thain was still a little unfinished, especially some of the materials needed for Thain's experiment, which he did not find in the trading area outside the Holy Tower.

It seems that the only option is to purchase it from the Holy Tower, or issue a bounty call order.

"The total amount of resources of the Jade Source Holy Tower is still not comparable to that of the Jade Burning Fire Holy Tower."

"The ice marrow required for my experiment was originally sold in the Space Fortress of the Holy Tower of Jade Burning Fire. It's just that the price is very high, but it's better than nothing."

"If I had known about this situation, even if I had to grit my teeth, I should have bought more and stored more in the Holy Tower of Green Fire." Green sighed beside Thain.

During the Plane War, Green also lived in the Jade Fire Holy Tower Space Fortress.

It's just that he happened to miss Thain every time he was in the fortress, so that after the entire plane war, he never met Thain.

Thain also agreed with Green's sigh, but he didn't say anything on the surface.

It is impossible for Green and Thain to leave the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, at least not in the short term.

Thain has his mentor Lu Lianman as a bond. No matter how desolate and barren the Holy Tower of Origin is, Thain cannot leave here, not to mention that his mentor treats him quite well.

In addition to his mentor being one of the three deans of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy, Green himself also signed a very long-term contract with Jizhiyuan Holy Tower.

Jizhiyuan Holy Tower has trained him for so many years, not in vain for its charity work.

And because Green's background was relatively low, the Holy Tower focused more resources on him during the apprenticeship stage, so that Green had to devote more time to the Holy Tower of Origin.

Green's sigh was just a sigh, not even a complaint.

After all, he did not complain about the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan, and even deep down in his heart, he had always been faintly grateful for the existence of the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan.

Green lives on the 662nd floor of the Holy Tower, which is the dean's residence, not far from where Thain and the others live.

In fact, the Holy Tower has allocated a residence to Green, but Green has lived with his mentor Archimedes, his wife, and others until now, which is enough to prove the good relationship between their teachers.

After parting ways with Green, Thane and Selena went straight back home.

Thain went to the laboratory to process some experimental materials he had just brought back, while Selina went to the kitchen to cook.

The tacit understanding between the two of them has been maintained for a long time. This naturalness and a touch of warmth and warmth make it feel like home.

There is a big difference between Irene and Selena, and the feelings that Sean gets from these two different women are also very different.

Dinner was still sumptuous.

Thain once told Selina not to spend too much energy on cooking, but that she should devote herself to learning and research.

It's just that Selina explained to Thain aggrievedly that it actually doesn't take her long to cook. Even a large table of extremely rich dishes will not take more than half an hour.

The reason for this efficiency comes from the fact that Selena also uses the power of magic when cooking.

Magic...can indeed make people's lives more convenient.

Sometimes after Thane's experiment, he was sweating and tired. He didn't need to take a shower, just a cleaning technique could solve the problem.

As the top meal tonight, there is nothing more than a pot of thick soup stewed by Selina, which is placed in the middle of the table.

The milky white soup is accompanied by a fragrant aroma that can easily arouse people's appetite.

The main ingredient of this pot of soup naturally comes from the two plant monsters purchased by Thain.

After he drank two bowls in a row, Thain said to Selena: "You should also drink more. It is good for your skin and can prolong your life."

…

Almost half a year has passed.

Thain received good news from the Lycian Alliance - Old Grant was promoted to the first level.

Thain's father was promoted to a first-class knight, which was not only a great joy for the Grant family, but also had a certain impact on the Lycian Alliance.

Over the years, Thain has gradually learned that not only the Lycian Alliance, but also all the knights above the first level in the surrounding Kingdom of Western France and the Oak Empire seem to belong to a knight's hall in the north.

It's just that knights of the first level and above from different countries must be divided into factions in the knight's hall.

In particular, wars break out all year round in the Kingdom of Western France, the Oak Empire, and the Lycian Alliance. Even if those knights above the first level belong to the same knight hall, there must be some internal barriers.

Likewise, this also leads to knights above the first level within the same faction and country becoming closer.

Old Grant was promoted to the first level and received congratulations from almost all the noble families in the Lycian Alliance.

Just the large number of congratulatory gifts was enough to cover the expenses of Old Grant's two attempts to reach the first level.

Compared to the magicians of the Holy Tower, the knights are obviously more secular and utilitarian.

Not only the Lycian Alliance, but also the Kingdom of Western France and the Oak Empire, as well as some further human kingdoms, had nobles send envoys to congratulate them.

The visitors from the Kingdom of Western France are mainly from the side of old Grant's wife. Both parties are relatives after all.

The visitors from the Oak Empire and the human kingdom further away were old friends of the two ancestors of the Grant family who met in the Knights Hall and came to congratulate them.

Therefore, despite the fact that the Grant family only has two first-class knights and above, in fact, this family has a wide range of connections and influence.

With the number of first-level and above strong men in the Grant family reaching four, this noble family in the Lycian Alliance seems to be showing signs of renaissance.

In the magical letter sent from the Grant family, Grant Sr. mentioned that he hoped Thane would come back.

This was not the intention of Thain's father, Grant Sr., but actually the idea of ​​the second-level knight Ulysses and the first-level knight Jerami, who just used old Grant to spread the word.

The two ancestors of the Grant family seemed to want to take the opportunity to introduce Thain to some first- and second-level knights.

Expanding contacts will do no harm to Thain and the Grant family.

Thain himself hates this kind of social interaction, especially since his recent experimental process has become more and more tense.

But in the end, Thain sighed and prepared to go back to the Grant family again.

After all, it was his father who was promoted to the first level of knight, so Thain had to go back for a while.
