The Lord of Ashes

This is a sand dune two kilometers away from the camp.

After receiving relevant tasks from senior brother Zorro, Thane and Lina came here to explore and record relevant information.

With someone covering it, everything will be much easier.

Although the elder brother Zorro is low-key, as a quasi-magician, especially the main person who arranges the coordinate generator, it is not a problem for him to arrange some easy and safe tasks for Thane and others.

Fifteen days have passed since Thane arrived at the camp.

Gradually, Thain adapted to life in the camp.

After all, magicians are human beings and are social creatures.

Thain is not yet at the level where he would immerse himself in the laboratory and study hard for several years, or even longer.

There were other apprentices around, and Thain felt that it would be much better, at least not so lonely.

The crystal ball in your hand records relevant information.

After taking in the surrounding environment, Thane greeted Lina and quickly returned to the direction of the camp.

This world of yellow sand is not without its dangers.

The dangerous environment and extreme natural disasters are enough to make these black magic apprentices suffer.

Over the past fifteen days, Thain has been lucky enough to see a huge sandstorm from a distance.

Although the center of the sandstorm was relatively far away from their camp, the overwhelming feeling of oppression and tearing was enough to make anyone realize their own insignificance.

Thain didn't know whether a formal black magician could withstand such a terrifying storm, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be too easy.

Through the mouths of his senior sisters, Mayfair and Lina, Thane knew that two months before he arrived at the camp, the camp had encountered a relatively small sandstorm at close range.

Two senior apprentices who were relatively close were swept away on the spot, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Including other apprentices were also injured. This kind of dangerous environment is not something ordinary people can survive in.

His girlfriend Lina still looks cold and avoids strangers.

Except for occasionally showing a subtle emotional change that is unique to her in front of Thane, most of the time, Lina is more like a transparent person.

After returning to the camp with Lina, Thain first went to submit a task to his senior brother, and then arrived at a tent on the east side of the camp with Lina.

This tent was smaller than the one that Thain and the others lived in, and there was only one apprentice living in it.

"Senior Apprentice Modi, I want to learn the process of making elemental mushrooms from you. This is the price I am willing to pay." After Thain walked into the tent, he faced Mr. Sitting in the middle of the tent, holding a jar and preparing some kind of green juice. The apprentice said.

This is a senior apprentice who looks older. I don’t know how old he is.

In the Black Magic Academy, the senior apprentice in front of him was not famous.

But after coming to the yellow sand world, this apprentice became one of the objects that all apprentices in the camp must pay attention to.

Because he and several other apprentices who mastered plant magic jointly shouldered the food supply in the camp.

In addition to the elemental mushrooms mentioned by Thain, the other party also mastered another planting technique called seven-citron bread tree.

However, the latter is said to be the opponent's most core magical knowledge and is almost impossible to spread, so Thain set his target on elemental mushrooms.

Different people have different opinions when it comes to making food.

Thain felt that this skill would be useful no matter where he went in the future, so he wanted to master it.

As for senior sister Feier or senior brother Zorro, they feel that it is of little significance to master the cultivation methods of this magical plant.

In fact, mastering the production methods of nutritional potions, coupled with the carrying function of the space ring, is enough to solve food problems in most cases.

The current situation of being trapped in the yellow sand world is just a rare exception.

Like Thain, there are many black magic apprentices who suddenly try to master the craft of making magic plants.

However, since the few apprentices who can provide food in the camp are basically senior apprentices, forced buying and selling have not occurred for the time being.

Thain also observed and analyzed several other magical plants, and finally chose the elemental mushroom in Modi's hand because the birth of this magical plant did not require specific seeds.

It only requires water, elemental energy and some specific techniques to induce growth, which is more convenient than other magic plants.

As Thain finished speaking, two low-level magic items were pushed in front of him.

These two low-level magic props are plant-related equipment, and the senior apprentice Modi in front of him should be able to use them.

"Oh? My unlucky junior brother seems to have died here. I wonder if he was swallowed up by the yellow sand.

Or..." Modi chuckled and looked at Thain with his eyes.

"When I found him, he was already a mummy." Thain said with a normal expression.

Modi nodded and did not continue to investigate the cause of death of his unlucky junior brother.

After gathering two pieces of low-level magic equipment in front of him that had lost their elemental power and needed to be re-infused, he then added, "Not enough!"

After pondering for a moment, Thain took out a magic short staff and about three hundred pieces of black gold.

The magic short staff was obtained by Thain from the junior apprentice Mari, and the origins of the black gold are varied.

This time, senior apprentice Modi took a good look at this little masterpiece among the intermediate magic props, and then nodded with satisfaction.

He casually turned the black gold on the table in front of him back under his body and said, "Yes, now you can get the craftsmanship of elemental mushrooms from me."

"Of course, if you are willing to pay a little more, I can give you another experience in cultivating magic plants, hehehe..." Senior apprentice Modi said with a hoarse throat and a strange smile.

…

After leaving senior apprentice Modi, Thain and Lina walked towards the tent where they lived.

Half a month has passed, and the camp at this time is much more lively than when Thain first arrived.

Nearly twenty intermediate apprentices arrived at the camp one after another.

And during this time, new apprentices arrived here from time to time.

Following Thain's group of intermediate apprentices, the official black magicians seemed to have sent over other intermediate apprentices.

I just don’t know if the low-level apprentices and the few remaining entry-level apprentices will be thrown over by those black magicians.

I don’t know how Fatty Bose and Meili are doing now.

"The process of making elemental mushrooms is not complicated. Do you want to try my craft tonight?" Thain asked Lina next to him.

"Okay." Lena replied.

"Would you like to learn too? I think this magic plant cultivation technique is quite useful." Thain asked, trying to find the right words for his tone.

Lina's perspective on things is different from that of Thane's senior brothers and sisters.

Faced with Thain's suggestion, Lina just pondered for a moment before nodding and replied: "Okay."
