The Lord of Ashes

Four months later, Harbor View.

This place has broken away from the scope of the south coast and is a southern coastal island reef located at the junction of the southwest and central south of the Wizarding Continent.

Thanks to Thain's day and night journey, he arrived here in time and was about to take a sea ship from this port and head west to the territory of the Mamet United Alliance.

Although it is also an alchemy-powered ship, it will take half a year at the fastest to reach its destination - the sea city of Cancheng in the Mamet Alliance.

Taking into account the influence of monsoons and ocean currents, this period may be shortened or extended by one or two months.

After all, the direction of the sea breeze is not controlled by humans. Since the wizarding world is a top-level plane with an extremely stable foundation of rules, it is difficult for even creatures above level four to affect the climate on a large scale.

The reason for choosing to use the sea ship to go to the Mamet United Alliance is because directly north of Thain, there stands the most majestic mountain range in the southern part of the Wizarding Continent - the Qilqis Mountains.

This is an astonishing mountain range that towers into the clouds. The highest peak of the mountain range may have exceeded 150,000 meters in altitude.

Regarding the specific height, Thain did not find any notes in the relevant magic books.

However, according to rumors in the surrounding areas and Thain's own judgment, such a majestic mountain range is definitely not something that a first-level creature can easily cross.

It is estimated that one must reach at least the level of a second-level magician, possess the ability of the true form of the elements, and be able to adapt to extremely harsh climate environments, in order to have the ability to cross the Qiltsis Mountains.

Before this, the best way for first-level creatures to face such majestic mountains was to take a detour.

Going north would undoubtedly delay Thane's plan to go to the Western Islands.

Sea route is the most convenient and fastest way.

The only regret that Thain has is that the Hurricane Holy Tower, located on the western edge of the south coast, has not established a space channel with the Mamet United Alliance.

Otherwise, Thain can save a lot of time.

"It seems that there is still a certain gap between the major forces in the wizarding world, especially the regional characteristics are very obvious."

"The wizarding civilization can even build ultra-long-distance cross-star space and time channels far outside the Neisser Star Domain. There is no reason why the internal space channel between the Mamet United Alliance and the South Coast cannot be established. "

"This must not be a technical reason, but involves other aspects." Thain pondered.

Analyzing it from the perspective of an observer, Thain feels that the advantages of a top force like the Mamet United Alliance establishing a space channel to communicate with the south coast of the Wizarding World will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

But as to why the top leaders of both parties did not promote this plan, Thain is not clear at this stage.

Perhaps from the perspective of those creatures above level four, they have more considerations.

A thick whistle and roar sounded from the bow of the ship.

The giant ship slowly sailed away from Seaview Port.

In addition to its navigation function, this alchemy-powered ship also has the ability to fly briefly.

The overall hull also exceeds 1,500 meters, which is not comparable to the broken ship of the first-class knight Cook.

This ship comes from the famous Kuliman Chamber of Commerce in the surrounding area, a magical family specializing in business and trade. It is not appropriate to call it a pure magic family, because the Culiman family also possesses considerable knight power.

For example, the giant ocean liner that Thain was riding on at this time was escorted by a first-level magician and two first-level knights.

This ship is just one of the many ships in the Culiman family.

According to the discussions of some knights and magicians around them, the Culiman family, which has a profound background, even has trade relations with many members of the Wizards Alliance.

The Kuliman family is not the only business family engaged in this sea route that connects the Mamet United Alliance with the south coast.

It's just that the Culliman family's overall strength is stronger, and I heard that the Culliman family is also on good terms with many Holy Tower organizations in the southern part of the Mamet Alliance.

The basic qualities required to travel on this sea route are not only the ability of an alchemy-powered ship to withstand waves and storms.

More importantly, all aspects of the relationship must be well established.

The Sea Clan also has a good status in this sea area.

Thain noticed that on both sides of this giant alchemical power ship, in addition to the water element magic circle carved on the hull itself, in addition to accelerating the sailing speed of the giant ship.

On both wings of the giant ship, there is also a humpback whale whose life level has reached the quasi-class level, dragging the giant wheel with the water element link.

On the top of the two humpback whales, there is a four-armed ocean naga, which uses special reins to control the diving direction of the humpback whale.

Obviously, these two sea tribesmen are the local snakes in the nearby sea area.

The Kuliman family has been able to sail the surrounding waters stably for many years, earning huge profits from the trade between the Mamet Alliance and the south coast.

These sea people must have had a part in it.

Even from a slightly darker and more extreme perspective, perhaps the Mamet United Alliance has never established a stable transmission channel with the South Coast because a stable interest chain and vested interest groups have been formed.

Of course, this conjecture is probably untenable.

Because whether it is the Sea Clan or those magic families, it is actually difficult to truly influence the decisions of the Holy Towers of all parties. They are not qualified yet.

"According to the information collected on the south coast about the Mamet United Alliance, this is a force with thousands of holy towers. It has a long history of development in the history of wizard civilization and has made great contributions to the development of wizard civilization. A strong organization that greatly promotes and contributes.”

"No wonder they would join forces with the Conclave of Fire and the City of Steel to launch a conquest of the large world civilization - the Neisser Star Territory."

"Perhaps in the Nesser Star Territory War, the Mamet United Alliance did not use all its strength at all." Looking at the boundless sea, Thane sighed.

…

When Thain set off on the alchemy ship from Seaview Port, a bloody massacre had just been staged in the South China Sea, which was not too far away from Thain.

The nearly 700-meter-long alchemical power ship was covered with blood and minced meat residue.

Every living creature was completely wiped out, and even the surrounding ocean was dyed a bright red.

The ocean is dyed red not because of the blood on the ship.

There are indeed many passengers on this alchemy-powered ship, but they are not that exaggerated.

What really caused the nearby sea area to be turned into a dead zone was that a special magical disease called the "Black Death Virus" spread in the surrounding sea area.

This is a terrifying virus developed by a certain talented black magician in ancient times. It is said that it once poisoned an entire large plane.

The Black Death Virus in front of us is certainly not on the same level as the "Black Death Virus" that appeared in the history of wizard civilization.

Its contagiousness is a little weaker, and its coverage range can only cover the surrounding ten nautical miles at best.

But this is enough to turn the nearby sea area into a dead zone inaccessible to humans!

It was also in this atmosphere of death and depression that a miserable howl came from mid-air, and finally fell into the sea, splashing water tens of meters high.

Not long after, a dark figure jumped out of the bloody sea water.

I saw him dragging a young magician by the neck, leaving a long bloody trail on the deck.

If Thane appeared here, he would be surprised to find that this young magician who has basically lost his life breath matches the dress of the second-level magician who appeared in the basement of the Crown Pearl Auction!

"Ahem, there is something. Is it the heir of a certain magic family or a powerful magician? He actually owns such a disposable magic device." The man in black robe covered his heart and couldn't help but murmured.

The man in black robe spoke in a very hoarse voice.

"Dong dong!" A powerful heartbeat sounded, and he took out his crimson heart that had been shattered by a third, then took out another heart from the space ring and stuffed it back as if nothing had happened. chest.

A large amount of magic materials and top-quality props appeared on the deck in front of the man in black robe. These were the gains of the man in black robe from this trip.

The second-level magician he killed in front of him might indeed be the heir of a certain magic family, and his personal wealth was really exaggerated.

Not to mention, it was not just the magician who died on this alchemy ship, but also other people, all of which could be counted as money.

Especially in the Black Realm, the corpses of first- and second-level knight magicians can be exchanged for a lot of money!

The hoarse sneer of "Jie Jie Jie!" echoed in the surrounding sea area, and the sea breeze blew by, creating a sense of desolation and coldness that made people shudder.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black robe took away the azure crystal necklace hanging from the neck of the dead second-level magician.

After the space rippled, a pure and beautiful pink-tailed mermaid appeared on the deck.

"We meet again, my little cutie, it seems he hasn't attacked you yet?" The black-robed magician first glanced at the pink fish tail on the mermaid's lower body, and then said with a sly smile.

"You devil!" The mermaid's face turned pale with fright, but she still said with anger on her little face.

"Devil? Jie Jie Jie, that kind of low-level creature, I have dissected more than two of them on my experimental table."

"Devils are just a group of pitiful creatures who are good at playing with emotions and the power of contracts. They don't even have their own home plane, so how can they be compared with my great second-level black magician Van Basten!"

"Come with me to the Black Domain. There is a water prison with a good environment in my underground laboratory. I believe you will like it there." The black-robed magician sneered darkly.
