The Lord of Ashes

The "luxury" and "exaggeration" of Thane's laboratory exceeded Selina's imagination.

Selina has entered the family laboratory before, which is a high-end laboratory that only senior apprentices and quasi-magicians can use.

Low-level apprentices in the family like Selina can at best enter the family to serve as assistants to the elders, or to show their understanding of complex magic experiments.

What Selina didn't expect was that for such a young Thane, the complexity of the laboratory instruments and the precision of the experimental bench he owned had exceeded the experimental intensity of the quasi-magic in the family.

Six experimental platforms were operating at the same time, and the complex knowledge about light elements contained in them made Selina dizzy.

Fortunately, Selina does not need to fully understand the principles. She only needs to strictly record the data of each experimental platform at fixed time nodes according to Thain's requirements.

The person who is really responsible for controlling the overall situation of the laboratory and fine-tuning the crystal lenses on each experimental table is Thain.

Selina's role in Thain's laboratory is very similar to the scene when Thain entered the alchemy laboratory of Moses as a mid-level and low-level apprentice.

Unknowingly, Thane has grown to the point where he is almost as much as his mentor Moses.

Although he has not been promoted to a formal magician above the first level, at the apprentice stage, he can conduct such complex and huge magic experiments. Thain is beyond the average apprentice by an unknown amount.

Even some official magicians, when conducting experiments, may not be as big as the formation created by Thane.

Of course, this is also related to the ultimate magical characteristics of the Eye of the Sun that Thain is pursuing.

Selina is a qualified experimental assistant. During the experiment, this little girl was obviously very interested in the knowledge of the elements of light and fire contained in the Eye of the Sun magic.

But she did not disturb Thain who was in a state of high concentration. Instead, on the premise of completing the tasks required by Thain, she used her little brain to think about some of the mysteries of the elements.

In the intermediate apprenticeship stage, you can participate in this level of magic experiments, which is also a great benefit for Selina.

Not to mention, Thain also promised to pay her.

With Selina's assistance, Thane's final improvement project on the Eye of the Sun is progressing very quickly.

Almost a month and a half later, a dazzling golden light lingered in Thain's laboratory.

It was now night, and from the outside, Thain's residence seemed to be bathed in a faint golden light from the inside out.

Fortunately, Thain's dormitory is located in a relatively remote and quiet location at Holy Tower College, especially in the middle of the night with almost no one passing by.

Otherwise, such an array of shining elements will definitely attract the attention of other apprentices and even formal magicians.

In the laboratory, Thain was in front of the experimental table, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Selina, who was sitting in the corner of the laboratory, also looked excited at this time.

"Cousin, have we succeeded?" Selina couldn't help but ask.

Although she only assisted Thain in his magic experiments for a month and a half, Selina also benefited a lot from it. .

The most intuitive manifestation is that, with the help of the inspiration from Thane's Eye of the Sun's improved magic experiment, Selina mastered an intermediate magic in the light magic that is not weak in attack power - the scorching ray.

Selena's question made Thane, who was in an excited state, come back to his senses a little.

The improvement of the Eye of the Sun magic was finally successful, and according to preliminary calculations, the power of the improved Eye of the Sun is almost four times that of the original version.

Of course, the specific performance of the extreme magic in this apprenticeship stage depends on Thain burning his spell model into the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness and then going to the training ground to experiment.

It would be better if there could be a provocateur like the senior apprentice Mark last time who took the initiative to help Thain test the power of magic.

"Yes, this is your reward."

"You've been helping me survive for three days in a row. Go and take a rest." Thain said to Selina.

At the same time, several intermediate fire attribute energy crystals appeared in Thain's hands.

Facing Thain's gift, Selena shook her head and said, "My cousin, you just gave me the energy crystal half a month ago. I can't take it."

"What I gave you half a month ago was your reward for last month."

"We magicians generally adhere to the principle of equal value transactions. Since you helped me, you should be rewarded accordingly."

"Take it!"

Thain's last few words were a little more serious, with a certain commanding tone.

Not to mention, if Thane continues to be polite with Selina, this girl will definitely not want his energy crystal.

Only with this slightly heavier and slightly coercive tone will Selena be obedient.

I don’t know if it’s because the brother and sister aren’t very familiar with each other yet.

Putting away the handful of fire crystals handed over by Thain, Selina's face showed her gratitude and respect for the gift from Thain.

With so many and frequent gifts of energy crystals, Selena received more resources every month when she was in the Ferelen family.

I couldn't help but become more curious about my cousin's situation.

But unfortunately, even though they have been living together with Thain for more than two months, Thain is still like a fog to Selena, making Selena unable to see clearly.

But at the end of today's experiment, while Thain was in a happy mood, Selina finally asked a question that had been holding back in her heart for a long time.

"Cousin, you are now a quasi-magician, right?" Selina mustered up the courage to turn around and ask before leaving the laboratory.

Thain is still cleaning up the experimental bench and re-examining the crystal lens data on each experimental bench.

He has always been so rigorous and self-disciplined, even though he already knew that the possibility of data errors was less than 5%.

Faced with Selena's question, Thane paused and then replied: "Not bad, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, I just think that ordinary high-level magic apprentices shouldn't be involved in such complicated dual-system magic experiments." Selina said with a smile.

"Cousin, you are so awesome. You must not be over 35 years old this year, right?" Selena said with compliments and admiration in her tone.

"Well, I am thirty-one years old this year." Thain replied.

The thirty-one-year-old quasi-magician should be the youngest quasi-magician in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower.

It's a pity that Thain usually speaks in simple terms, and outsiders don't understand him at all.

Including the magician Erin some time ago, they did not notice the change in Thane's level.

The main thing is that the difference between a senior apprentice and a quasi-magician is actually not as big as imagined.

Due to the improvement of mental power and magic power, quasi-magicians can be regarded as enhanced versions of advanced apprentices and reserve magicians.

Of course, the gap in knowledge depth is the most significant difference between quasi-magicians and advanced apprentices.

Faced with the admiration and envy in Selena's expression and tone, Thain's face softened and he said: "Quasi-magician is nothing, you will achieve it in the future."

"Yeah!" Selena nodded heavily.
