The Lord of Ashes

"Ahem, I tell you, but you have to let us go and give us some water and food." When Thane faced Statham, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

I saw Mali, an intermediate apprentice who had been weak and collapsed in the depression of the sand dune, struggling to stand up at some point.

The pale lips and pale complexion indicated that the other party was not in a good condition at this time.

But despite this, this guy actually held a magic short staff in his hand, which seemed to contain a powerful intermediate magic.

"You don't have much magic left, Thain. I remember that you were promoted to intermediate apprentice not long ago."

"Leave us alone and give us some food and water. I can tell you everything we know." Mari affirmed again.

Mari's strong performance made Thain look at him high.

However, Thain noticed that most of Mari's attention at this time was on the fallen senior apprentice Statham.

These two guys obviously have real feelings for each other.

Statham bled to save Mali, and Mali was also most concerned about Statham at the moment.

The emotional bond between two male black magic apprentices that goes beyond friendship gave Thain a sense of weirdness.

Looking at these two guys who were willing to sacrifice their lives for each other, he had a ridiculous feeling - he was the bad guy!

Taking a deep breath, Thane turned around and sneered: "You can try activating the magic in your magic wand to see if it can hurt me."

"But I guarantee that Statham will definitely die under my fireball first!"

"And you will definitely die under my acid cane in the end. As an intermediate apprentice, you should have heard of this high-level magic item of mine." Thain said unhurriedly.

Thain's reply made Mari's face paler.

But it was Statham who reacted even more fiercely.

This big guy didn't care at all about Thain's fireball technique on his neck. "Hiss!" The sound of flames burning flesh and blood was heard, and this guy actually struggled to stand up again.

The opponent's vitality was so strong that Thain doubted whether a secondary fireball could kill him.

After all, this guy had resisted two intermediate spells with his flesh and blood before!

This was the first time Thain had seen such a monster without the protection of a magic shield.

times in hand

The super fireball became a little bigger due to the infusion of Thane's magic power, and the smell of burning could be heard in the air.

Just when Thain was about to give this guy the first shot, it was Mari opposite him who stopped first.

"don't want!"

The magic staff in his hand was directly thrown aside by Mari.

Facing Statham, whose neck was scorched again by the secondary fireball technique, Mari staggered towards this place and even fell twice in the process.

Seeing this intermediate apprentice approaching him, Thain raised the magic staff several times, but finally put it down again.

He could see that this weak intermediate apprentice did not pose any threat. After throwing away the magic short staff, this guy lost his last remaining resistance.

Taking the initiative to take a step back, Thain left space for the two people in front of him.

After all, we are all neighbors.

Although what just happened was unpleasant, Thane was not in a hurry to kill them both immediately.

These are the only two living people that Thain has seen since he came to the yellow sand world.

Even if it's a conversation, or even a fight, it's better than Thain being alone and blindly moving forward in the desert.

After arriving at Statham's side, Mari put Statham's head in his arms and whispered something to the seriously injured giant.

Statham originally grew to a height of 2.5 meters, but returned to 2 meters after the battle.

Including the magical black robe on his body has also become tattered, but the muscles indicate how powerful he must have been in his heyday.

The disgusting words of love between the two men made Thain feel goosebumps all over his body.

Statham couldn't say a word at this time, and his consciousness was also a little unclear, so it was Mari who was mainly whispering there.

Through Mari's murmur, Thane roughly understood that this was a story about two weak black magic apprentices who depended on each other and struggled to survive in the underground world of Mensobra for twenty-two years.

Statham's advanced apprentice strength was not acquired through practice, but was purely the result of experimental transformation by formal black magicians.

And it seems that the two of them have always been led by the intermediate apprentice Mali. Statham has only a lot of strength, but his brain is not very good.

But the two people recognized each other, and in terms of emotional bond, it was really not inferior to the relationship between Thain and Lina.

Thane thought that the city of Menzobra in the underground world only existed in deceit, darkness and betrayal.

.

Unexpectedly, such a pair of deeply affectionate men would appear right in front of him.

The depth of the relationship between Statham and Mari made Thain's cold face soften a little.

In particular, it was observed that these two people had no ability to fight back at all, and the fireball technique in Thain's hand was quietly extinguished.

Only the strong acid cane was facing them, non-existent, to prevent any unstable events from happening.

"Okay, tell me what happened."

"Where are those senior apprentices and quasi-magicians who entered this yellow sand world in the early stage?"

"How did you two meet?" Thain asked calmly.

Although extremely weak, Mari was still able to answer his questions.

Next, under Thain's scrutiny, Mari slowly told everything he knew.

…

Mari did enter the space-time rift in the same batch as Thane, but he came earlier than Thain, almost seven days earlier.

Mali experienced a total of two nights, and it was also through the other party's mouth that Thain accurately obtained the duration of daylight in this yellow sand world, which was fifteen days of normal time in the wizarding world.

As for where the senior apprentices and quasi-magicians were probably, Mari pointed to somewhere in the desert and replied: "It should be in that direction, but how long will it take to get there? Statham told me that it's still about ten days away."

The direction Mali pointed was basically the same as the heating direction of the two elemental beads in Thain's hand.

This showed that Thain had been taking the right route all along, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

As for how Mali and Statham met...according to Mali, he and Statham have always had a mutual feeling.

It turns out that this feeling is unique to Statham, and it seems to be the result of the black magician transforming Statham.

But I don’t know since when, Mali gradually began to have this feeling.

Since Mali arrived in the yellow sand world, Statham ignored the restraints of other senior apprentices and quasi-magicians in the camp and forced his way to the depths of the desert to look for Mali.

I have to say that Statham is stupid. He is obviously a senior apprentice, but he did not make adequate preparations before heading to the desert, and he and Mali almost died.
