The Lord of Ashes

Thain eventually entered the academy from the west side.

A huge crack opened the entrance in the college wall, allowing Thane to avoid the main entrance.

The west side of the college has always been the official residence of black magicians.

However, when Thain entered this area, the entire academy was silent.

Only the sounds of fighting continued to come from the distant city.

Instead, the college became a quiet land.

Thane didn't know much about this part of the west side of the academy.

In the past few years, he had at most been walking around the residence of his mentor, Moses Dor.

It is impossible to offend the territory of other official black magicians at will.

Although I know that there are probably some things left in those quiet houses that the official black magicians have no time to take away.

But Thain was not affected by it, and rushed straight towards the residence of his mentor Mosido.

When Thane arrived at the residence of his mentor Moshedo, the door was closed as usual.

Looking at the white door, Thain went back to a few years ago, when he came to his tutor every day to do experiments.

Taking out the identity medal from the space ring, Thain pressed it against the door, and then a burst of elemental power flowed through, and the door quietly opened.

After entering the residence, Thain found that the tutor's place was quite messy and all the rooms were empty.

Thain did not find any clues about his mentor Moshe Duo and his senior brothers and sisters.

The huge test benches and alchemy instruments in several rooms disappeared. Also disappearing at the same time was the alchemy puppet responsible for cleaning the mentor's residence.

"It seems that the mentor and the others should have left here in time."

"But the black magicians who broke out in the city did not feel the mentor's battle fluctuations. Could it be that the mentor broke out with Vice Dean Martin and the others?" Sitting on the white chair on the second floor, Thain couldn't help but lower his head and thought. .

This used to be the place where Thain ate with his mentor, senior brother, and senior sister, but now, he was the only one sitting here.

Another "Boom!" huge explosion and elemental turmoil came from the city, interrupting Thain's thoughts and urging Thain to rush to the next place.

After finding nothing from his mentor Moses, Thane quickly walked through the teaching building of the Black Magic Academy and rushed to the apprentice dormitory.

Not here with the instructor

No matter what the harvest is, Thain believes that as long as Lena is alive, she will definitely leave relevant information for herself in their home.

Although the Black Magic Academy was quiet, as Thane kept approaching the apprentice dormitory, he gradually discovered some corpses.

Almost all of these corpses are the corpses of apprentices, and some are dark creatures and underground people.

Since most of the intermediate and above apprentices in the academy were thrown into the yellow sand world by official black magicians to perform tasks, the corpses of these apprentices presented to Thain were almost all low-level apprentices.

Arriving at the outer buildings of the apprentice dormitory, Thain noticed a female body lying in the grass on the roadside.

The low-level apprentice Tiandi still remembers Thain because he has pestered him several times.

Half of Tiandi's body was in a burnt state, as if she had been injured by fire magic.

The appearance of Tiandi's body reminded Thane of his two low-level apprentice friends, Mellie and Fatty Boss.

Feeling nervous, Thain accelerated his pace back to the dormitory.

The familiar dormitory building did not give Thain the warmth of returning home.

On the contrary, the dark and silent corridor made Thain feel a little flinched and afraid.

He is not afraid of any threats in the darkness, but is afraid of the consequences of the facts, which he cannot accept.

But Thain finally came to his door. When he pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was a pink letter that made him extremely excited.

Lena rarely uses pink things, but Thane, who has penetrated Lena's depths, knows that she has a delicacy and gentleness that is different from her appearance.

Rushing to the letter, Thain read the information on it.

This letter should have been left by Lina not long ago. In addition to telling Thane that she was fine, everything in Lina's words was full of care and concern for Thain.

Lina really believed that Thain had not died. He even informed Thain in the letter that there was a deeply hidden secret passage in the northern part of the city of Mensobra.

That was what Lina's mentor Ferena told her, including that she would also break out from there with her mentor.

"Chengbei?!" Thain couldn't help but look outside the room.

Although the city of Mensobra is an underground city, strictly speaking, this underground city is hollowed out on three sides. Only the north of the city is connected to the ten thousand-foot stone wall, and above it is the huge fluorite vein.

Put the letter in your arms and again

After taking one look at this home, Thain turned and left.

After walking out of the apprentice dormitory, Thain did not leave the academy along the same path.

The melee in Mensobra City seems to be coming to an end. In addition to the continuous falling of huge rocks in mid-air, the resistance of the black magicians is getting weaker and weaker.

Some surface knights and magicians are rushing towards the Black Magic Academy. After clearing out most of the resistance, the Black Magic Academy is the last place they clean up. It seems that they also want to collect some trophies here?

Thane could not guarantee that every surface knight and magician would be as easy to get along with as the Bakda and Midic he came into contact with.

And he couldn't explain why he appeared here.

Walking west across the entire academy from the apprentice dormitory, apart from wasting time, the most likely outcome is to bump into those surface knights and magicians.

The image of the death of low-level apprentice Tiandi flashed through Thane's mind.

It was also at this time that a "rumbling" sound of a huge object falling appeared in the White Crow Forest not far from the apprentice dormitory. It seemed like a giant stone falling from mid-air.

Fortunately, there were no large-scale fires in White Crow Forest.

After glancing in the direction of the White Crow Forest, Thane immediately headed towards the depths of the White Crow Forest.

The scene in the White Crow Forest did not change much from what Thain remembered.

As far as the eye can see, everything is green.

Of course, some toppled giant trees and occasional craters marked that White Crow Forest was still an area affected by the war.

At this moment, the city of Menzobra does not have a pure land in the strict sense.

When he reached the end of the east side of White Crow Forest, where the huge tree crown was close to the college wall, Thane saw a huge irregular stone inserted horizontally in between.

After roughly judging whether he had the ability to climb out, Thain cast a light body technique on himself and prepared to leave.

At this time, a faint "coo" sound came from the back of the huge tree crown in front of Thain.

With a slight frown, Thane came behind the giant tree.

An owl covered in blood lay in a pool of blood.

The beak hook moved slightly, indicating that it was not completely dead.

"Qi?" Thain couldn't help but ask.
