The Lord of Ashes

As a power system that coexists with magical elements in the wizarding world, fighting spirit is definitely not a magical power that a young apprentice of Thain can figure out through a simple anatomy study.

He just understood the source of Leaf's power and had a vague understanding of the power of fighting spirit.

As for what is the essence of fighting spirit?

How much specific blessing does it bring to human knights?

How is it different from ordinary magical elements?

wait wait wait.

None of this was something that Thain could figure out right away.

In addition to the improvement of his knowledge reserve and insight, he also needs to be supplemented by a large number of experimental carriers for his research.

It's impossible. Thane is going to capture a lot of knights' attendants and come back for human research, right?

He does not have the means of an official black magician, nor does he have the strength to face the revenge of the Knights Hall and the official knights.

(The level of knight squire is equivalent to that of magic apprentice.)

The contact with the bandit leader Leaf was a small episode on Thane's journey to the north of the Underdark.

Of course, it was also from the bandit leader Leaf that Thain obtained a common currency of the surface world - three gold coins, a dozen silver coins and dozens of copper coins.

The black gold that Thane had before was just the currency issued by the black magicians of Mensobra City, and could only be used in the underground world of Mensobra City and its surrounding areas.

Now Thain doesn't dare to take them out and use them.

It was also the acquisition of this coin that made Thain decide to try to visit the next human city when he passed by.

In addition to wanting to take a closer look at the lives of humans on the surface, as well as the conditions of knights and magicians, it was also time for Thane to change his clothes and other items.

Peter City, an ordinary city in the middle of the Dark Region.

It is said that the name of this city comes from the surname of the family of the lord of Peter City.

On one of the busier commercial streets in the city, Thain, who had just entered the city, stopped in front of a tailor shop.

"Excuse me, do you want to make clothes?" A young girl with freckles on her face walked up to Thain, opened her eyes and asked crisply.

She is a female worker in this tailor shop.

The bustling and lively human cities on the surface made Thain, a black magic apprentice who had just stepped out of the surface, somewhat uncomfortable.

Even if he had done psychological training before

However, the lonely and gloomy living environment all year round still makes Thain seem a little out of place here.

Although Thain was wearing strange clothes at this time, and his temperament was a bit off-limits.

However, the blond hair and fair skin faintly exposed under the hood will still make people feel good, especially for a young girl like the freckled girl in front of her.

Every girl from an ordinary civilian family will dream of being a noble.

I hope that one day I will be noticed by handsome young nobles and become the envy of everyone.

In Peter City and several surrounding human cities, the probability of this happening is incredibly low.

But there are always some bards, or mercenaries who travel far and wide, who will bring these blushing and heart-pounding stories to Peter City and arouse the imagination of these young men and women.

Golden hair is rare in Peter City. According to the story models of the bards, this is just the standard for a noble child who leaves home and travels.

"Am I the woman he is destined to be?" a girl named Martha from Petite City couldn't help but think after taking the initiative to walk up to Thain.

Thain had no idea that the freckled girl in front of him was so full of emotions.

When the girl in front of him suddenly stepped forward to ask, he was a little overwhelmed and replied: "Um, yes."

On the surface, the purchasing power of gold and silver coins is still very strong.

Thain finally bought two sets of black robes, two pairs of leather boots, and some shirts and pants.

All in all, it only cost a few silver coins.

Watching Thain's figure gradually disappear at the end of the bustling commercial street of Peter City.

The freckled girl was still a little reluctant to leave, and seemed to be expecting the other party to look back.

However, this did not happen.

"Hahaha, are you a magician who just came to Peter City?" Just when Thain had walked around most of the blocks in Peter City and gradually adapted to the prosperity and excitement of this city, an old laugh suddenly appeared in the city. Thane's ear.

Thain turned around and saw an old man in gray robes looking at him with a smile from a block away from him.

This old man seemed to have a good reputation and status in the city of Peterte. Pedestrians passing by him all leaned towards him to express their gratitude.

Respectfully.

Including what the old man said to Thain just now, it also seemed like a kind of magic.

The level shouldn't be high, just in the realm of magic tricks.

However, this longer-distance sound transmission technique does have certain practical value.

Thain did not panic when his identity was discovered. Speaking of which, he would be a little nervous and uncomfortable when faced with inquiries from an enthusiastic clerk in an ordinary tailor shop.

But facing a magician like the old man, Thain can behave extremely naturally and calmly.

He could see that this old man was just a magic apprentice, and his level should not be higher than his.

Slowly walking up to the old man, Thain condensed his energy slightly, and said very calmly on the surface: "Yes, I just came to Peter City not long ago, how did you find me?"

"Haha, only we magicians would dress like you."

"I heard from William who was guarding the city gate that a young man suspected of being a magician had entered the city, so I came here to take a look." The old man said with a slight smile.

Although some ordinary people on the surface also wear the black robe that Thain wears, they are in the minority after all.

Most ordinary civilians wear linen, while nobles like to wear gorgeous silks.

In the past, most mercenaries wore leather armor. It was also after entering Petert City that Thain discovered that there were many human mercenaries with the power of fighting spirit.

It seems that in the wizarding world, the popularity of fighting spirit far exceeds that of magic.

A relatively genuine magician, ever since Thane entered Peter City, the only person who appeared in front of him was the old man in front of him.

At first, the old man was still talking to Thain with a smile.

But when he sensed Thain's actual spiritual power as a senior apprentice, his expression suddenly changed.

The smile on his face was immediately replaced by respect.

In the field of magicians, those who are masters come first.

Since Thain's mental power is higher than his, it means that Thain's magic and knowledge reserves are likely to exceed his.

The gray-robed old man in front of him is just an intermediate apprentice.

He is over 60 years old this year, and his future achievements will not be much higher.

On the other hand, Thain is already a senior apprentice at such a young age.

In addition to being respectful, there was also a hint of envy in the old man's expression.
