The Lord of Ashes

Nothing unusual happened in the next few days.

Moses must have known the correct path to the surface.

Under his instructions, Thain helped Moshedo, turning left and right, and kept moving forward in the underground space.

Although the route is complicated, Thain can feel that they are constantly moving upward.

During this period, we even passed through several dark tunnels that went vertically upward.

It was also during these few days that Thain discovered that his mentor was obviously a little different from the past.

Although Mosheduo cared about Thain in the past, his concern was normal, and of course it was much better than the attitude of ordinary black magicians towards their disciples.

In recent days, Moses has shown great concern for Thain, and his enthusiasm has reached the extreme.

Almost every day, he would ask about Thain's study and practice status, and provide timely answers to Thain's confusion in the field of fire element magic knowledge and alchemy.

In the past few days, including Moxiduo, he taught Thain an advanced magic - the spell model of the flame knife.

The high-level magic flame knife is actually an enhanced version of the intermediate magic fire chain knife mastered by Thane.

Because the spell model of the Flame Knife is relatively simple compared to other high-level magics, and Thane has the foundation of the intermediate magic Fire Chain Knife.

Therefore, Moses chose to teach this advanced magic to Thane first and let him establish his status as a senior apprentice as soon as possible.

In the past, Thain learned several intermediate magicians such as Hands of Fire and Object Control. Moses just gave Thain a bunch of magic books and let him learn and understand them on his own.

But this time, with the words and deeds of Moses, the official black magician, Thane mastered this advanced magic faster than imagined.

The change in mentor Mosheduo's behavior and his deteriorating physical condition gave Thain a premonition that something would happen next.

This made his heart sink with joy as he had just reunited with his mentor.

On the other hand, mentor Moshe Duo, although his complexion and energy were getting worse day by day, his behavior and expression were as normal as usual.

That day, he pointed at Thain's cracked crystal ball and commented: "The repair is pretty good, but the technique is a bit rough. You should be like this..."

Moses held many hands

Two metal pen-like alchemy tools taught Thain face-to-face the technique of mending a crystal ball.

Repairing the crystal ball is not a profound alchemical method. The greater purpose of Moses' move is to teach Thain the process of repairing the crystal ball and convey to him more of his own alchemical experience and special skills.

At this time, Thain would take out a magic book with dense notes and respectfully record the truths taught to him by his mentor.

In addition to deepening your skills by writing once by hand, writing down magic notes also makes it easier for Thain to read and review in the future.

Looking at the studious and correct attitude of Thain, Moses sighed more than once.

"Your senior brother has good alchemy abilities, but like his master, he neglects to explore the avenue of elemental magic. The chance of moving to a higher level in the future is not high."

"Your senior sister has an out-of-touch personality. Although she has a high natural affinity for fire elemental magic, she is not the kind of person who has the patience to explore the truth, and she has not inherited much alchemy inheritance as a teacher."

"Only you are probably the only hope for our lineage."

"My teacher, I hope you can reach a higher realm in the future and carry forward our lineage." Moses said sternly to Thane beside the bonfire in the underground world.

Faced with the burden of inheritance and full expectations given by his mentor, Thain solemnly nodded.

…

A month and a half later.

As he got closer to the surface, Thane's heart became heavier.

Why, Thane knew that he was getting closer and closer to the surface? It was pure intuition.

It was also intuition that told Thane that his mentor Moses might be dying.

Sure enough, on the third night after Thain had this intuition, Moses called Thain to him.

At this time, Moses was in much worse health than he was more than a month ago.

Not only has he become skinny and skinny, but even his original yellow eyes have become cloudy and dull.

However, when he called Thain in front of him, Moxiduo still managed to brace himself up and put three things in front of Thain.

In one breath, he forcibly straightened his waist, looked at Thain in front of him and said.

At this time, Thain knelt in front of Moses as a disciple and bowed his head deeply.

"This space bracelet contains half of my master's life savings, as well as some magic equipment and alchemy equipment."

"Whether you are a magician or an alchemist, if you want to reach a higher level, you will inevitably need various resources."

"Thinking back to those days, my teacher accidentally entered the field of alchemist. His original intention was just to earn a few low-level energy crystals."

"The things in this space bracelet can make your journey smoother and smoother before you become a formal magician."

Mosheduo first pointed to a copper-yellow antique bracelet and said to Thain.

Immediately afterwards, Mosheduo pointed to a thick magic book next to the bracelet and said: "This alchemy experience is the content that my master has worked hard on, summarized over many years, and recorded after experiments."

"Although there are other magic books and alchemy notes in the space bracelet, this one is the most important, and it is uniquely created by the master."

"Besides you, your senior brother Zorro has looked through and read this alchemy experience."

"I hope you can study the mysteries of alchemy in the future and find your own way in the future."

Teacher Moses' words made Thain lower his head even further.

He knew that compared to the wealth in the space bracelet, this alchemy experience was actually the inheritance that the mentor valued most.

This represents a kind of inheritance of knowledge and an extension of will.

Finally, Moses pointed to a small piccolo-like gadget next to the space bracelet and magic book, and said: "I have helped you repair the earth element shield ring, invisibility cloak and other items during this period. This piccolo is for that Prepared by an owl."

"The Holy Tower of Dawn's search for the group of black magicians in the Dark Region will probably last for a long time."

"If you are a little apprentice, you should hide your identity as a black magic apprentice from the Holy Tower of Dawn. But this owl is not easy to hide. They are the magical birds raised by the dean. They should have been discovered by the Holy Tower. Marked by the Holy Tower of Dawn.”

"Only when you leave the Dark Territory can you be truly free from the threat." Moses said.
