The Lord of Ashes

A fierce battle that lasted for a long time was the first night of passion between Erin and Thain after they reunited.

After they were done, Erin asked Thain when he planned to marry her.

Most of the nobles and knights in the wizarding world practice polygamy.

This is a tradition that has been handed down since ancient times. It is not that the wizarding world is unfriendly to women.

Powerful life forms occupy more members of the opposite sex, which in itself is the law of survival of the fittest in the astral world.

Under the more primitive power structure, it seems that men generally have more say than women.

On the other hand, in the circle of magicians in the wizarding world, the vast majority of magicians follow the tradition of monogamy.

This may be because a magician's power comes from knowledge, which is often gender neutral.

Just take the poisonous green flame world war that Thane participated in as an example. He has met many powerful female magicians.

Thain's master, Cuilis, his uncle, Penas, and his master, Lu Lianman, are all top female warriors.

Erin's inquiry made Thain fall into silence for a moment.

He thought of Lena. If he had to choose a person of the opposite sex as his lifelong partner, Thane would definitely choose Lena.

Women are always very sensitive, and Erin is no exception.

She read something in Thane's silence.

But after all, she is a member of the royal family, and she has more experience and knowledge than Thain. Irene did not rush Thain, but pulled her long, wet hair and asked in a calmer tone: "What, you Is there another magician as a wife?"

"Is that your cousin?" Erin asked.

As for Thain's affair with his cousin, Irene had actually speculated about Thain's affair as early as Thain's apprenticeship, and even teased Thain about it.

However, Eileen does not regard Selina as a competitor. Selina is just a magic apprentice, which is her biggest shortcoming.

Officially, magicians above and above often have a lifespan of nearly a thousand years. Before entering the first level, Selina and Thain were actually people from two different worlds.

Thane remained silent.

At this time, Eileen suddenly felt that things were not simple.

"Not your cousin? Who is that?" Irene asked with a slight frown.

Thain actually doesn't want to talk about his childhood experience in the Underdark.

As he joins the Holy Tower of Blue Origin and becomes the master of the tower, Lu Lianman, all the past events should slowly dissipate like the wind and settle into the deepest memories in Thain's mind.

Thain's silence and the slight depression in his emotions made Erin feel a little strange to him.

It was only then that Irene realized that she knew nothing about Thane's experience before joining the Holy Tower of Blue Origin. She only roughly knew that he was from the Lycian Alliance and seemed to come from a knight family.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't have to hold you responsible. Truth and knowledge are our eternal goals." Irene waved her hand and said as if she didn't mind too much.

Indeed, although marriages and unions occur among magicians, in fact, such cases are relatively rare.

Why do magicians care more about mentorship than knights?

It is because many magicians are too obsessed with the truth and have abandoned the simplest physiological needs and the concept of inheritance from future generations.

Many magicians never conceive any offspring throughout their lives. When he suddenly looks back and realizes that there is no suitable successor to what he has learned throughout his life, he will naturally care more about the disciples he accepts.

And offspring born from blood may not necessarily become successful.

The Grant family pedigree is very branchy, and not every direct member has the potential to become a first-class knight.

The method of blood inheritance is still somewhat unreliable. The knowledgeable magicians obviously want to choose an outstanding descendant to inherit their mantle.

And knowledge has little to do with genes and origin.

The level of initial mental power will indeed limit the threshold of the caster's profession, but a truly powerful magician definitely does not rely on the initial mental power value, but on the knowledge he masters!

Eileen showed that she didn't mind too much, which made Thain feel a little moved.

I saw Thain looking into Irene's eyes and saying, "I'm sorry."

Sean's words of "I'm sorry" made Irene also fall silent.

She thought a lot. At that moment, Irene even guessed whether Thain's family had forcibly arranged a marriage for him.

Compared to magic families, many knight families indeed attach great importance to the reproduction of bloodline.

It is understandable that Eileen would have such speculation.

The first night of passion between Sean and Irene ended with silence and concern on both sides.

Before dawn, Irene quietly left the top floor of the Holy Tower.

Since Thane has not promised to marry Irene, it is not easy for Irene to live in his place openly.

Although magicians are obsessed with studying the mysteries of truth, it does not mean that they will completely ignore worldly criticism.

There are not many official magicians in the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade, and Irene doesn't want to become a talking point for other magicians outside of their experiments.

She is also a thin-faced female magician.

After sending Irene away, Thane continued his daily research and magic experiments as usual.

But today, Thain was in a bad state in the laboratory.

Looking at the thinly sliced ​​flame creature muscle under the elemental microscope in front of him, Thain was not thinking about the degree of integration of the fire element in the body cells in front of him, but thought of other things.

Taking a detailed look at all the women that Thain has come into contact with over the years, they are actually all different.

The harsh living environment in the Dark Region determines that the strong have more living resources and women.

And in the atmosphere at that time, it is estimated that no black magic apprentice would be able to fall in love.

The special relationship between Thain and Selena can also be seen as Selina being attached to Thain, so she will not interfere with too many of Thain's personal affairs.

Only Irene, no matter how you look at it, she and Thane are equal individuals.

Therefore, after having the most intimate relationship with Thane, she will mention that she wants to marry Thane.

The two are definitely a perfect match. The Grant family is not a small family, and the duchy royal family where Irene belongs is not from a simple background either.

If the two of them could be reunited publicly, it would even be of great benefit to the families behind them.

The Grant family doesn't mind marrying a magic family with many official magicians, and the French Principality would also be happy to marry a knight family with second-level knights.

More importantly, Thain is the disciple of the tower master. In fact, this is enough.

Feeling a little guilty about Irene, Thain let out a long sigh in the laboratory.

Now he wants to go to the Western Islands even more.

Whether alive or dead, he wanted to know Lina's condition at this time.

He believes that Lina will not fall so easily. This is a mysterious and mysterious feeling. Thain believes that this feeling may have some connection with the astrology studied by some magicians.

It's a pity that Thain doesn't know much about this academic field, and there are no special magic books introducing astrology, including the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue.
