The Lord of Ashes

It is indeed Thain's style to put aside the royal family members and senior apprentices of the Goron Kingdom.

Not paying attention to Hildas' slightly embarrassed and stiff facial expression, Thain mainly talked to Green.

To those who don't know him well, Green is a taciturn and stuffy person.

But when it comes to friends like Thain, Green is quite talkative.

Through communication with Green, Thain learned that they would next go to the Green Source Mountains east of the Holy Tower of Blue Origin to carry out some monster hunting and rare material collection tasks.

It is worth mentioning that Jizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy will require mandatory tasks for apprentices every three months.

There are various types of tasks, all chosen by the apprentices themselves.

The simplest task is to clean the library or other public facilities of the college.

The more difficult task is to go to the Warcraft Mountains to conduct trials such as killing Warcraft and collecting materials like Green and others.

Of course, helping official magicians complete some basic experiments can also be counted as an academy task.

However, in the more than five years since Thane came to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, he has only been able to perform academy tasks a handful of times...

It's not that Thain doesn't want to perform it, but that he is too busy to waste time on those academy tasks.

The reason why he was able to evade the mandatory tasks required by the academy was because Thain had enough magic coins.

The Holy Tower is also relatively "tolerant" to those apprentices who are unwilling or do not have time to perform the tasks of the academy.

As long as one magic coin can be paid, a mandatory mission can be offset.

Thane has invested nearly twenty magic coins in this area in the past five years.

Apart from him, few people in the entire Holy Tower Academy did this.

Therefore, although most of the apprentices and official magicians at Holy Tower Academy do not know him, the few magicians on duty at the mission verification office of the Apprentice Hall still remember Thain.

Senior apprentice Hildas coughed dryly because of the conversation about the upcoming academy missions that Green and others were about to perform.

Green's words also stopped abruptly.

It is indeed difficult to reveal this kind of apprenticeship mission to outsiders at will, because there are apprentices in Holy Tower Academy who fall into various trial missions every year.

Holy Tower Academy is not the nanny of all apprentices. It requires apprentices to perform mandatory tasks. On the one hand, it is to test these apprentices, and on the other hand, it is also to generate income for the college.

The Luyuan Mountains to the east of the Blue Origin Holy Tower is the most fertile magical beast mountain range in the Land of Luyuan.

Although Thain had passed through some mountains and jungles where powerful monsters existed before, those without exception could not be compared with the Luyuan Mountains.

It is rumored that there is even a large-scale Warcraft Kingdom deep in the Luyuan Mountains.

As for whether it is true, it is unknown. It is estimated that only those magicians who are officially above the level know.

In addition to the Luyuan Mountains, the most famous trial area near the Holy Tower of Blue Origin is the Sea of ​​Luyuan, which is the closest to the Holy Tower.

However, the danger here in the Green Source Sea is greatly reduced. Because of the proximity to the Holy Tower, some unruly water monsters or sea tribes have been tamed by the powerful Holy Tower magicians.

Within the Sea of ​​Green Source, apprentices mainly perform resource collection tasks.

A low-level magic prop called "Underwater Breathing Bead" allows apprentices to move freely in the ocean for two hours.

After bidding farewell to Green and others, Thain entered the Holy Tower Library and couldn't help but touch his chin and muttered: "Maybe I can also go out to perform a compulsory mission for the academy. The deadline for the next mission is coming soon."

…

Over the Green Sea.

Thain stood on the deck of the floating ship, looking at the azure sea below and the end of the endless sky.

Sure enough, magicians are not entirely solitary creatures.

Although Thain is used to studying and researching at three o'clock and one line every day, he has never felt boring.

But taking this kind of outing once in a while is also good for Thain's physical and mental health.

At least at this moment, looking at the vast sea and the endless sky, Thain's mood was inexplicably cheerful and relaxed.

On this trip, Thane left the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue to go to the Principality of Gigson in the north of the Holy Tower to carry out an investigation mission into the madness of Warcraft.

This is the highest-level mission that can only be accepted by senior apprentices, because according to the mission description, the crazy monster in the Principality of Gigson seems to have reached a certain level.

Thain's mission is only to investigate, and

Just bring back relevant survey data.

The Principality of Gigson is not a weak human kingdom. It is a country with a good reputation in the field of alchemy. There are many magic shops in the country.

Many knights and magicians from nearby areas will go there.

It is said that the official magician of the Gigson Principality works in the Holy Tower of Origin of Jade, and he has a strong alchemy skill.

Most of the magic apprentices in the principality who make a living by making magic props are his disciples.

Thain has been studying at Jizhiyuan Holy Tower for several years, and has also signed up to learn the advanced courses of three official alchemists.

It would be better to know who the official magician behind the Gigson Principality is and whether Thain has met him.

Speaking of alchemy, to Thain's slight chagrin, the Holy Tower was not the kind of place where all knowledge could be taught to one another.

The importance that spellcasters in the wizarding world place on knowledge is a bit more exaggerated than imagined.

Although Thain spent magic coins and signed up for many advanced courses.

But as time went by, Thain gradually discovered that these official magicians always kept a secret during the teaching process!

Magic coins can buy a formal magician to teach you a superficial knowledge, but it will never reach the level of letting the other party teach you everything.

Unless Thane can become the other party's disciple and successor.

Unfortunately, after joining Jade Source Holy Tower Academy, Thane had no intention of becoming a formal magician.

On the one hand, Thain also has deep feelings for his mentor Moses.

On the other hand, among the formal magicians he came into contact with, there really was no one powerful enough to make Thane think of becoming a disciple.

If you could just find an official magician as your mentor, why didn't Thane directly learn from Midi Qi, the second-level magician in the Tower of Dawn?

Thinking back to the scene when he just left the underground, faced with Master Midici's wooing, Thain can't say he regrets at this time, it can only be said that he missed an originally good opportunity.

When Thain left the Holy Tower, he also had certain arrangements for his cousin Selina.

In addition to leaving some energy crystals and a few magic coins for the other party as expenses, he also informed the other party that it might take a little longer for him to go out to perform the academy mission this time.
