The Lord of Ashes

The power of the intermediate magic hand of fire is even better than the fire wall technique.

Since the flames burning nearby have not been extinguished, the relatively dense fire element energy particles also make the flame hand released by Thane appear larger than usual.

The moment the huge flame hand appeared, the Green-jawed Feather King's movement towards Thain stopped abruptly.

It's true that low-level monsters are irritable and have low intelligence, but that doesn't mean they want to die.

The desire for life and the fear of death made the Green-jawed Feather King, who was running, want to turn around and leave.

But by this time, it's too late for it to run away!

The huge flaming hand caught up with the Green-Pawed Feather King in an instant. Not only did it completely cook the Green-Palated Feather King with a gentle squeeze, but it also turned several adult Green-Palated Feather King around it into a piece of charcoal.

The death of the Green-jawed Feather King and the increasing heat of the surrounding flames finally caused the remaining Green-jawed Feathers to completely lose their fighting spirit.

Under the threat of flames from all sides, these Green Palate Feathers fled in all directions. They didn't even care about the immature Green Palate Feathers behind them, and the more important Green Palate Feathers eggs.

A fire made the gray-white valley seem like daylight.

…

When the flames gradually dissipated and the high temperature was neutralized in the cold and dark environment of the underground world, Thane could finally count his loot.

Twenty-one charred adult Green-jawed Feathers and one King Green-jawed Feather were the biggest gains of Thain's trip.

He took off the most precious claws and beaks of these green palate feathers. Half of the claws had to be handed over, which was proof that Thain had completed his task.

For the other half of the bird's claws and beak, Thain can choose to give it to Boss for sale, or he can keep part of it himself.

It has been some time since he studied alchemy with his mentor Moses. Thain, who has been watching his mentor and senior brother working in front of the experimental table, now feels a little itchy.

It would be a waste to give him such precious materials to use. Obviously, these green palate feather claws and palatine beaks with weak elemental power are just for him to use for training.

In addition to the twenty-two green-jawed feathers mentioned above, Thain also gained seven eggs slightly larger than his fist.

Just a rough calculation, Thain's income this time exceeded two hundred black gold.

In addition, he himself had basically no consumption, so he was making money in vain, and Thain's mood improved a lot because of this.

The catch is that Thain doesn't have space equipment, so he can't pack up all the loot and take it away, so he can only choose the most valuable parts.

Green palate feather claws, palate beak, eggs

Jean Thain was carrying a lot of packages on his back, and he even took one of the Blue-jawed Feather King's hind legs and tied it around his waist.

This hind leg was what he was going to take back and eat for Lina.

As a black magic apprentice, Thain's image at this time is really unflattering after handling the trophies at hand.

Like a hunter and more like a magician, Thane didn't care about the change in his image. He walked all the way out of the Gray and White Valley.

When they arrived outside the valley, several underground humans appeared in front of Thain one after another.

What made Thain a little stunned and speechless was that these humans actually joined forces to hold a seriously injured and dying adult Green Palate Feather, obviously waiting for Thain's arrival.

The value of a demonized creature does not attract Thain at all. After all, he is not an entry-level apprentice who has just entered school.

In the surprised expressions of these underground humans, Thain said: "You should take this Green Palate Feather and divide it among you. In the gray-white valley, there are still some Green Palate Feather residues and underage Green Palate Feather corpses."

"These things should be enough to make up for the large-scale burning of your moss fields."

Thain's words made these underground humans kneel down to him in excitement.

Not all black magic apprentices are as easy to talk to as Thain. A lot of the moss fields were burned by the flames. Although it made these underground humans heartbroken, it was better than having them all eaten and occupied by the green-jawed feathers.

As for the dozens of green-jawed feather corpses, Thain doesn't think highly of them, but they are a valuable treasure to these underground humans.

Meat has always been a luxury item among ordinary humans in Mensobra City, not to mention the flesh and blood of demonized creatures and low-level monsters.

Thain guessed that these humans probably were reluctant to eat green palate feather meat, or they only ate a little and chose to sell most of it.

No creature in the underground world has an easy life, everyone is trying desperately to survive.

Seeing the underground humans in front of him crying as they continued to kneel in worship, and the sincere gratitude they expressed, Thain's cold heart, which he developed in the cruel and repressive atmosphere of the Black Magic Academy, was also faintly touched.

…

After leaving the Ashen Valley, Thane returned directly in the direction of Mensobra City.

Before leaving, he had already told the underground humans to dispose of the remains of the Green Palate Feather Group's corpses as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the smell of flesh and blood completely dissipates, maybe Thain will come here to complete some academy tasks next time.

The large amount of loot he carried with him did not slow down Thain's progress too much.

His physique is among the best among intermediate magic apprentices, plus

Those trophies are actually not heavy, they just take up a lot of space.

So in the dark, Thane resembles a huge, fast-moving shadow.

The distance from the Ashen Valley to the city of Menzobra is not far. As Thain envisioned before setting off, his mission can be completed within five days.

No, to be precise, four days were enough for him to carry out the mission and return to the academy.

This is a "safer" road.

But it might be the impact of the fire in the Ashen Valley, or maybe Thain's luck was not very good this time. On the way back, he encountered an accident.

In the darkness, a dazzling light flashed in front of Thain in an instant.

Life suddenly faced a crisis, and the hairs on Thain's body couldn't help but explode.

The neck under the magic robe even felt a chill.

Fortunately, Thain reacted quickly enough and rolled sideways in time, otherwise his neck would probably have been severed directly.

The slight numbness that came from his neck made Thain's body stiffen as he rolled to the ground.

Almost instinctively, Thane raised his arm hidden under the black robe.

With the weak open vision provided by the pale mask in the darkness, the acid cane in Thane's hand suddenly fired!

The attacker has been ambushing here for a long time, including the fact that he came with the idea of ​​killing him with one strike.

The blow just now had consumed too much of its energy, and it didn't expect that Thain could dodge it in time and still have the energy to fight back.

The high-grade magical corrosive acid contained in the strong acid cane actually made a sound like breaking through the air in the darkness.

A "muffled grunt" sounded immediately, and Thain successfully hit the attacker.

The power of the acid cane has been demonstrated before.

This attacker was obviously not someone who could withstand a high-level magic. After taking a few difficult steps, he finally collapsed.

It was only then that Thain suppressed the increasingly obvious numbness in his body and gradually walked towards the attacker.

In the darkness, what gradually appeared in front of Thain was a dwarf wearing black moss leather clothes and only one meter tall.

Two huge-proportioned, pure black eyes without pupils marked the opponent's non-human identity.

The dagger he held in his hand had a mixture of light blue liquid and blood on the blade, which was obviously the weapon that injured Thain.
