The Lord of Ashes

The Kingdom of Malgeria's use of magic has surpassed the few humans Thain has experienced before.

Magic carriages, flying messengers, floating ships and other things all mark the obvious difference between this place and the Lycian League.

Even in the capital of the Kingdom of Malgeria and several human cities near Jewel Bay, the main roads used for lighting at night are magic crystal street lamps with a hint of elemental power.

The various situations before him were surprising and novel to an outsider like Thain.

For ordinary local humans, they seem to have become accustomed to it.

The ocean opposite Gemstone Bay is called "Green Source Sea", which is the local name for this vast and mysterious ocean.

However, according to the record on Thain's magic map, the name of this ocean is "Lvyuan Lake", which is an inland lake.

The reason why there is a difference between the lake and the sea in the name also reflects the difference in vision between first-level official magicians and ordinary humans.

For those magicians with tyrannical power and long lifespans, this is a lake.

But for ordinary humans who have short lifespans and cannot understand many supernatural phenomena, this is a mysterious sea that they cannot explore to the end even if they spend their entire lives.

"I wonder if the flying courier from the Kingdom of Malgeria can deliver the letter to the Lycian League."

"If possible, I can also exchange some letters with my father."

“I don’t know how far the border war between the Lycian Alliance and the Oak Empire has progressed.” Thain sighed.

Flying messengers are a specialty of the Kingdom of Malgeria. They are a group of demonized bird-like creatures that have been thoroughly domesticated.

They are generally small in size, but their flying speed is extremely fast, and their endurance is beyond that of similar magical birds.

In the Kingdom of Malgeria, flying messengers are exclusive to the nobility.

Although it has not been emphasized that civilians cannot use it, the high cost of several or even a dozen gold coins is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary civilians who live with copper coins and silver coins.

This is only for domestic messaging. If you send a message abroad, the cost will be greater.

It is worth mentioning that the value of gold coins in the Kingdom of Malgeria is also several times, or even more than ten times, that of several surrounding human kingdoms.

The Lycian Alliance gold coins that Thain carried were actually quite a few

Among individual human countries, it is the most widely exchanged currency for the Kingdom of Malgeria’s own gold coins.

After arriving in the Kingdom of Malgeria, Thain exchanged most of the gold coins he had on hand into Malgerian gold coins, or Malaysian coins for short.

The Kingdom of Malgeria is one of the human countries that is close to the Holy Tower of Green Origin. According to the magic map, the deep sea of ​​Green Origin opposite Gemstone Bay is where the Holy Tower of Blue Origin is built.

If Thane wants to go to the Green Source Holy Tower, he must master the ability to fly across half of the Green Source Sea in front of him.

Or find a way to have a water monster to lead the way.

Or... take a boat!

Of course, ordinary ships cannot reach the Bizhiyuan Holy Tower. Even the most experienced fishermen in Gemstone Bay do not know where the Bizhiyuan Holy Tower is.

These old fishermen will only tell you which dangerous places you must not go to in the depths of the Green Sea, and where you can see strange monsters and rare sea monsters.

As for the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, whether it is in Gem Bay or the Kingdom of Malgeria, it is a sensitive word that only a very small number of groups and the noble class can touch.

If Thain wants to reach the Holy Tower of Blue Origin accurately, it is best to choose the third method and take a boat.

Looking at the floating ship gradually moving away and disappearing between the sea and the sky, Thane's eyes shone with an inexplicable brilliance.

…

With Thain's advanced apprenticeship level, it would not be difficult for him to find a boating place in Gem Bay and obtain relevant boating qualifications.

The only thing that slightly surprised Thain during this period was that the floating ship heading to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin did not accept any gold coins from the human kingdom.

An intermediate energy crystal or Warcraft crystal core is the most basic cost of a ship ride.

Of course, Thain can also pay magic coins.

One magic coin is enough for ten round trips.

The magic apprentice selling tickets at the dock was obviously a smart guy.

Although Thain's clothes were not outstanding, he still saw that Thain was unusual.

And even if Thain doesn't have a huge amount of money, just his status as a senior apprentice means that he should have enough money to spend on a boat.

The apprentice responsible for selling tickets is an intermediate apprentice.

He has short yellow hair and freckles on his face, and he looks younger than twenty.

Although he is just an ordinary ticket sales apprentice,

But after Thain had a little chat with him.

I learned that the guy in front of me was actually one of the apprentices of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy.

After paying for an earth-type intermediate energy crystal to obtain the qualification to board the ship, the freckled apprentice patted Thain on the shoulder with regret and said, "You should actually pay with magic coins, because it is more cost-effective."

"Of course, it is also beneficial for you to pay with energy crystals, because now is not the college's enrollment period, and your trip may be in vain."

"But you can find things you are interested in outside the Holy Tower. Every year, apprentices or knights from other places come here to hunt for things." The freckles apprentice said to Thain with some gloating.

The apprentice in front of him had an emerald-green thumb-sized medal on his chest, which seemed to be the status symbol of the Holy Tower of Origin.

As an intermediate apprentice, he dared to joke with a senior apprentice like Thain.

It can only be said that the learning atmosphere at the Holy Tower Academy on the surface is indeed very different from when Thain was at the Black Magic Academy.

The freckled male apprentice in front of him is not bad in nature, he is just more outgoing.

Calmly avoiding the opponent's hand patting his shoulder, Thane took advantage of the aerospace boat to inquire more about the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade before it set sail.

This freckled apprentice is named Tom. He is nineteen years old and has been at the Holy Tower of Origin for eight years.

The Origin of Jade Holy Tower, like most holy towers in the wizarding world, recruits students only once every ten years.

According to the usual practice, Thain has to wait for at least two more years before coming to the Bizhiyuan Holy Tower for the next enrollment period.

Moreover, although the enrollment requirements of Jizhiyuan Holy Tower are not too strict for the age limit of apprentices.

But under normal circumstances, those who can enter Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy are young people with innocent identities, qualified mental abilities, and between the ages of seven and fifteen.

There are cases where people like Thain who have become high-level apprentices join the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade, but they are rare.

However, considering that Thain is only in his twenties, with his qualifications, there is a certain chance that he will join the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan in two years.

That's why this magic apprentice named Tom took the initiative to tell him so much.
