The Lord of Ashes

"I haven't been out on many college missions recently. My mentor helped me take a four-month leave, so I don't have any World of Warcraft crystal cores or flesh for you at the moment."

"But in the experiment that was just completed today, there was a blank crystal that was exhausted. I wonder if you are interested?" Thain took out a transparent and clear energy crystal from his arms.

The surging elemental power originally contained in this energy crystal has been completely exhausted.

There are only a few thin lines of light yellow elements that are difficult to see with the naked eye, intertwined in the crystal, indicating that there is still a little bit of leftovers in this energy crystal.

Owl Qi didn’t choose either, or in other words, he didn’t have to choose at all.

The brown beak raised slightly, and the blank crystal in Thane's hand flew into the opponent's mouth.

The hard energy crystal turned into pieces when Qi's mouth hook chewed it.

The opponent's teeth were so good and the bite force was so strong that Thain was secretly surprised more than once.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu, there is still a future as a formal disciple of a black magician, especially since your mentor is still Master Moshe Duo."

"In the entire Black Magic Academy, except for Master Moses, there must be no other black magician who has such a large collection of energy crystals." Owl Qi Gugu said.

In the laboratory of Teacher Moshe, energy crystals of this level are considered high-end goods.

Thane has only seen more advanced energy crystals a few times in recent years. They are treasures called first-level energy essences.

Owl Qi eats very quickly.

There was a growl in its throat, and it turned out that Thain had a fist-sized blank crystal in his hand, so he swallowed it completely.

After chatting with Owl Qi for a few more words, Thain walked to a nearby tree stump with obvious cutting marks and sat down.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Thane began his routine spiritual meditation practice.

Since three years ago, Thain has discovered that the concentration of elements in the depths of White Crow Forest is not low.

And the atmosphere here is extremely quiet and comfortable, which is most suitable for a magic apprentice like him to meditate.

In terms of meditation efficiency, it is even better than the small side room with the energy-gathering magic circle in Master Moses' place.

When Thane entered a meditative state, Owl Qi stopped disturbing him.

There wasn't even a sound of flapping wings, and I didn't know when this guy would quietly leave.

Only the faint chirping of insects and birds and the gentle sound of wind blowing leaves could be heard in the entire white crow forest.

In this atmosphere, Thain's meditation became much more efficient.

When Thain ended his meditation state, he looked up and saw that the academy time had already arrived in the evening.

Owl Qi flew to nowhere. Academy supervisors like it are sometimes very busy. You may not know what to deal with at this time.

What an accident happened.

After adjusting his magic robe that was slightly soaked by the dew in the forest, Thain walked slowly towards the outside of the White Crow Forest, one step at a time.

What was a little different from what it was in the morning was that there was a little bit of white light in the White Crow Forest at this time.

These white lights are actually the origin of the name White Crow Forest.

The essence of those white lights, according to Thain's research, is a white light that is naturally emitted from the tail of a thumb-sized white bug after sucking tree sap at a specific time.

Under the bright and beautiful white light, Thain's black figure gradually disappeared.

He comes to the White Crow Forest to meditate and practice almost every few days. He is no longer as excited and novel as when he first saw these white lights.

These white lights that appeared in every corner of the forest reminded Thain of the depths of his memory, the brilliance of the deep stars in the night sky on the surface of the earth.

…

When Thain returned to the dormitory, his girlfriend Lina returned almost at the same time.

Because she assisted her mentor Ferena in completing a certain dark magic experiment today, Lina looked a little tired at this time.

However, when she saw Thain working in the kitchen, Lina cheered up and walked over to help him with dinner.

A few years have passed, and Lina's cooking skills have also improved slightly.

At least she doesn't make a mess when cooking, and sometimes she can even finish simple meals independently.

Seeing Lina appearing next to him to help, Thain felt a slight warmth in his heart.

Spending time with Lina every day can make Thain temporarily forget about the dangers of the underground world and the heavy task of learning magic.

I believe Lina has a similar feeling, because Thane increasingly feels that he and Lina have become connected as they have been together for a long time.

But the only thing that made Thain feel a little uncomfortable and heavy today was the request that his senior sister Fei'er mentioned to him during the day.

Thain didn't know if this was a betrayal, and he didn't even know if he should mention this to Lina.

Based on Thain's understanding of Lina, if he mentioned this to her, the impatient Lina would most likely go directly to her senior sister Fei'er for a duel.

Both women were close people who had helped Thain a lot, and Thain didn't want to see some bad scenes happen.

Sean's mood and state were different, and Lina, who had lived with him for more than ten years, naturally discovered it quickly.

But Thain didn't say anything, and Lina didn't ask rashly.

Almost everyone thinks that Lina is a "mad woman", especially her style of conduct, which makes many apprentices of the same level or even stronger than her fearful.

But only Thain knew that Lina was actually a relatively calm person at heart.

Including every time she did something impulsive, Lina had already considered in her mind instantly what the consequences of all this would be and whether she could bear it.

Perhaps it is for this reason that although Lina's reputation as a "mad woman" spread far and wide,

She is still alive today, and even getting better and better.

If you are a real madman or fool, you will not survive to reach the level of a senior apprentice, and it is impossible to become a formal disciple of a black magician.

If it was a few years ago, or earlier, faced with Thain's behavior, Lina would directly ask him if something happened.

But now, Lina did not ask rashly.

Because she knew that if Thain wanted to tell her, he would naturally speak.

If Thain didn't want to say it, she wasn't willing to force him.

I don’t know since when, Lina also cared about and cared about Sean’s feelings.

A dinner that was too sumptuous for other low-level apprentices was completed with the combined efforts of Thain and the two of them.

At the dinner table, Thain still didn't say anything. He just picked up a magic book and read it while eating.

Thain has read this magic book more than twenty times, and somehow it becomes more interesting the more he reads it.

Every time Thain reads some of the detailed notes, he has new insights.

This magic book is "Anchor Annotations", and Thain guesses that the author of the book, Master Ankhoda, is probably not an ordinary official magician.

It is a being that is more powerful than his mentor Moses, and may have reached the level of the dean and the others.

For example, this sentence that Thain read at this time - "Wizards are the source of all spellcasting professions in the wizarding world. Wizards do not divide the knowledge systems and contents they are involved in too rigidly, as long as they are useful to wizards Knowledge, wizards will learn and master."

Thain deeply agrees with this comment.

Just like although he seems to be a fire magic apprentice and an alchemy apprentice, in fact he also has a small amount of dark magic and potion knowledge.

It's not that Thain is greedy for too much, but that he is indeed interested in these areas.

And I think that just a rough study will be of great help to me.

Furthermore, who stipulated that Thane has a higher affinity with the three elements of fire, light, and darkness, so he can only learn these three elements of magic?

Plant system, earth system, water system, wind system... and even rare magic knowledge in the fields of thunder system, poison system, mystery system, summoning system and so on will be encountered in the future. As long as Thain is interested, he will try to dabble in it. .

After all, the acquisition of knowledge and the exploration of the mysteries of magic elements are the inexhaustible motivation for magicians like them to continue to become stronger.

Carefully using the magic quill pen, he left a line of notes in the corner of the page of "Anchor Annotations", and Thain closed it firmly.

Looking at Lina on the dining table who had also finished eating, Thain said: "Let's not clean up today. Let's go to bed early."
