The Lord of Ashes

Thane is not a magician who sticks to his point.

Rather than insisting on a certain knowledge theory that he may not be able to use in the future, Thain is more inclined to pursue the efficiency and value of experimental research.

"The knowledge of construction is probably of interest to mechanics in the wizarding world. The path I am taking as a spellcaster is that of an elementalist."

"It's enough to do a little research on these things. I should spend more time on the research areas that are more important at the moment." Thain lowered his head and thought.

As a result, the large laboratory that expanded in front of him returned to its original state amidst the sound of Thane's spell.

Those constructed devils were also hidden in the laboratory warehouse. I don’t know if there will be a day in the future when these constructed devils will see the light of day again.

After the laboratory was restored to its original state, Thain took a deep breath and once again devoted himself to the next experimental research.

Thain's next main research direction is the mystery of Jade Fire Magic and Jade Fire Tempered Body.

In addition, integrating jade fire magic into alchemy is also a top priority that Thain needs to solve.

Because this will determine whether Thain can undergo transformation and enhancement in strength in a short period of time.

…

When conducting research in the laboratory, the passage of time is often ignored.

Even every few days, Selena would ask Sean out for a meal.

But Thain still felt nothing, and nearly a year passed.

One year may seem like a short time, but a lot has happened.

Thanks to Thane's tireless research and sleepless nights, his Jade Fire Magic finally took a step further.

Not only did he gain a deeper perspective on the mystery of Jade Fire Tempered Body, Thane was also finally able to integrate the power of Jade Fire into alchemy and comprehensively upgrade the Eye of the Sun Mask.

Today's Eye of the Sun magic should be called the Eye of Jade Fire magic.

And Thain is also studying how to increase the number of shots per round and the overall number of rounds of the Eye of Jade Fire magic during this period.

Once there is a breakthrough in the relevant research process, the power of Thain's signature bottom-pressing magic will surely skyrocket.

Originally, the power of the Eye of the Sun magic has increased a lot since it was upgraded to the Eye of Jade Fire magic. If the release amount is further increased, then what's the point?

In addition to certain breakthroughs in Thain's personal experimental research, Thain also received a magical letter from the Grant family not long ago.

Thain's father, Earl Grant, once again launched an attack on the realm of first-level knights, and he mentioned in his return letter that there was no need for Thain to go all the way back to the Lycian League. Thain continued to conduct his own experiments in the Holy Tower. Just research.

If he is successfully promoted to the first level, Old Grant will tell him the good news immediately.

Old Grant once again entered a state of seclusion and promotion, and Thain's younger brother Sauron finally officially took over the position of patriarch of the Grant family and became the current Earl of Grant.

Thain's stepmother, Lady Tia, finally got her wish and became the mother of an earl, and is now a well-known noblewoman in the Lycian League.

More than twenty years have passed, and Thain's resentment towards his stepmother has gradually faded away.

Thain has returned home several times in the past 20 years. Every time, the stepmother did not make things difficult for Thain. Instead, she tried to please him in every aspect.

When Thain returned last year, Mrs. Tia no longer had the good looks of her youth.

The expensive cosmetics used by nobles cannot stop the erosion of her skin over time.

Even though Diya already looks quite young compared to women of the same age, this cannot hide the fact that she is now a grandmother.

If you don't level up, you will end up like an ant.

Life is too short in just a few decades.

As Thain now devotes himself to experimental research, a year has passed without realizing it.

When Thane touches higher mysteries of truth in the future, perhaps his concept of time will become even thinner.

An experiment can last for hundreds of years, or longer?

Thain feels that this situation is possible for those magicians above level four.

…

Something else happened in the past year. The magicians who threw themselves into the Poison Fire Green Flame World Battlefield from the Holy Tower of Jade Source finally came back.

The return of 417 magicians, including Thane, has promoted the prosperity of business around the Holy Tower of Origin, but it also reflects the cruelty of plane war.

At the beginning, more than five hundred magicians went on the expedition.

Thain's friend, a first-level magician named Green, was the third and last batch of magicians to return to the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade.

Since Thain has recently been obsessed with experiments, he has not inquired about Green's return to the Holy Tower of Origin.

Including Green's character is even more withdrawn than Thain. Before Thain didn't look for Green, Green never thought of visiting Thain.

So much so that the two people, who had a good relationship, finally "encountered" each other in the trading area outside the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan, only to learn that the other party had returned to the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan, and chatted about each other's experiences in recent years.

What happened when Thain and Green met by chance was also very interesting.

At that time, Green was in front of an official magician's stall, choosing some plant spirits from another dimension.

"I want one male and one female." Green said to the stall owner, pointing to the small and cute plant spirit in front of him that looked like a cabbage.

This stall owner is a second-level magician from another holy tower or magician organization.

Faced with Green's request, the second-level magician said with a strange expression: "There is no gender distinction between plant spirits. Although their appearances are different, they follow asexual reproduction."

"You break off one of its arms or root tentacles, bury it in clay, supplement it with sufficient water and trace elements, and it will grow back in just a few years." The stall owner said, shaking his head.

The stall owner's words made Green's face look awkward.

It happened that at this time, Thain also took Selina to a nearby area and heard the conversation between Green and the stall owner.

"Then I want these two." Green said, pointing to the two "baby cabbages" in the stall.

When Thain and Selena approached, Green noticed Thain, whom he hadn't seen for many years.

The relationship between Thain and Green is still good. Although they stopped communicating with each other for a long time after being promoted to the first level, the human relationship is still there.

As a newly promoted first-level magician, Green set out to conquer the world of poisonous green flames and successfully came back alive, which in itself has proven his potential and strength.

As for the two plant monsters Green purchased, Thain also looked at the second-level magician's stall in front of him with curious eyes.

Thain knew a little more than Green, thanks to having a fourth-level plant magician as the tower owner. Even though Thain didn't delve too much into the mysteries of the plant system, he still learned a lot about the plant system.

In addition to the most basic asexual reproduction and excellent regeneration capabilities, Thain also saw that the plant spirits in front of him seemed to have some valuable properties.

"Is this...the power of activation?" Thain frowned slightly and asked in an uncertain tone.

"Good taste!" the stall owner praised.
