The Lord of Ashes

After leaving the Dark Fire, Thain went to Holy Tower Academy again to say goodbye to his colleagues and juniors who came to see him off.

The real reason why Thane left the Holy Tower of Dark Fire was not only because he wanted to continue to sharpen himself, but the bigger reason was naturally the urging of the Spider Queen.

Otherwise, with Dark Fire's huge salary, Thain might not really be able to agree to stay in the Holy Tower of Dark Fire for about a hundred years as the dean.

When Archimedes, the old dean of the Holy Tower of Origin of Blue, left, two-thirds of the magicians in the entire Holy Tower came to see him off.

Today, when Thane left the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, there were not many people who came to see him off.

After all, Thain and Dean Archimedes have completely opposite personalities.

In addition, decades ago, he accepted the advice of the Spider Queen and reorganized the rules of the Holy Tower Academy, many of which were not friendly to formal magicians.

‏‎‏‎‏​‎‏‎​‏‏‎‎‏‏So much so that Thain’s reputation in the college is far inferior to that of another dean Kester.

Thain gained a lot of notoriety.

Except for the apprentices and magicians of this holy tower, who are quite resentful of the academy rules modified by Thain.

In recent years, due to the outstanding achievements of the Holy Tower of Dark Fire, many of the academy rules of the Holy Tower of Dark Fire have been borrowed and absorbed by several other nearby holy towers.

Originally, Thain's notoriety was limited to his sparring with other third-level magicians of the Holy Tower and injuring many members of the surrounding Holy Tower.

But now, good guy, his notoriety has almost spread throughout the entire area around the Holy Tower of Dark Fire.

Even those academic magicians who have never come into contact with or known the various holy towers of Thain remember this teeth-grinding name.

It was quite wise for Thane to choose to leave the Holy Tower of Dark Fire and the Ely Knights Alliance at this point in time.

Otherwise, in a few hundred years, Thain may gain more than just the title of "Excellent Dean".

Recently, many magic apprentices and low-level magicians privately call Thain the "Dean of Darkness", which is inexplicably compatible with the Tower Master Dark Fire.

And as time goes by, his new title has a tendency to gradually spread to other holy towers.

Among the people who came to see off Thain, except for a few familiar deans and grade directors, most of the others were civilian magicians who had grown up relying on the rules of the academy in the past hundred years.

The strength of these magicians is all at the first level. In addition to the older apprentice Finn, Thane also saw his daughter Gloria, who is now also a first-level water magician.

"Grandpa Dean, do you really want to leave?"

"Why don't you take me with you?" Gloria couldn't help but said as she grabbed Thain's magic sleeve.

Gloria, this little girl, has never been married, let alone fallen in love.

The reason seems to be influenced by her family.

Gloria's mother did not advance to the first level and passed away not long after Gloria completed the academy war.

This is because the opponent has failed to reach the official magician level many times, resulting in the extremely weak Soul Fire.

Otherwise, with Gloria's mother's strength as a quasi-magician, there wouldn't be much of a problem living for more than a hundred years.

In his early years, Gloria's parents approached him with several outstanding young nobles, but they were all ruthlessly rejected by Gloria.

Also, with such a handsome and perfect dean who brought her up since childhood, Gloria was quite arrogant, so how could she look down on others.

As for Gloria's mother's death later, her father Finn did not mention finding a husband for Gloria again.

This is because Finn knows that his daughter has a high probability of being promoted to the first level.

With the long life span of nearly a thousand years possessed by a first-level magician, if she finds an ordinary person to marry, how will she spend the rest of her life?

The love between Finn and his wife is unquestionable.

But having endured the pain of being alone for the rest of her life, Finn would not push Gloria into the fire pit.

Even if he wants to find a husband for Gloria, he will definitely choose one from a magician above the official level.

At this time, faced with the unreasonable demands made by his daughter Gloria, Finn, a father, rarely chose to remain silent.

Finn can tolerate Gloria's nonsense, how could Thain agree?

You know, this time there is an extra spider queen on the body, and the two female knights, Seren Lenna and Natalya, have to send them away.

He traveled lightly.

In addition to Yuri, the constructor, Thain can bring at most one little fox girl to serve him in his daily life.

Thain's refusal and stern expression directly caused tears to drip from the little girl's eyelashes.

As expected of a water magician, there is really enough water.

This seemed to be the first time that Thain had made Gloria cry. In the past, no matter how excessive the demands made by this little girl, Thain would still let her do whatever she wanted most of the time.

"You are all magicians who grew up as common people. With your current strength, you are enough to create a noble family."

"The hundreds-year contract period with the Dark Fire Holy Tower is indeed longer than that of other holy towers, but this is also in line with the principle of equal transactions pursued by our magicians."

"I hope that in the future, you will all reach a higher level and explore more truths." Thain ignored the crying of the little girl next to him and said to everyone in front of him.

All the academy magicians who were promoted to the first level during Thain's tenure bowed respectfully and said yes.

They have just stepped into the ranks of elemental users, and have never even participated in a plane war. They are too green and tender.

With Thain's current strength and status, they are enough to look up to him and regard Thain's words as truth.

The little girl stopped crying at this time. She tightly grabbed Thain's sleeves and said, "I know, Grandpa Dean, you come from the Holy Tower of Jizhiyuan."

"When my contract with my father at the Holy Tower of Dark Fire ends, I will join the Holy Tower of Blue Origin to find you."

Gloria's words made Thain sigh deeply.

He said nothing more, nodded to everyone around him, and left.

…

‏‎‏‎‏​‎‏‎​‏‏‎‎‏‏Except for some people coming to see him off, Thain’s departure from the Holy Tower of Dark Fire was actually very low-key.

Although the two girls, Natalya and Lenna, were not happy to separate from him now.

However, after being spanked several times by Thain and being treated with emotion and reason, the two women still accepted Thain's arrangement.

Indeed, the journey of a magician's promotion and the journey of a knight's training are not the same thing at all.

The two women following Thain did not have as much benefit as they imagined.

On the contrary, if there are too many people, they will wear each other down and even hold each other back a little bit.

After parting ways with Thane, I heard from the two women that they wanted to go all the way west to start training in the Wizarding Continent.

Thain continued to go north, heading to the Magic Empire, Sky City, Astrology Highlands, Northland Witch and Dragon Vein Warlock family territory, and other spellcaster holy places.

The two women naturally have little interest in places with a strong magical atmosphere.

Anyway, Natalya is also a level two, and Lenna is a powerful level three heavenly knight.

Except for the Black Domain, the entire wizarding world is so big that you can go anywhere.

The Beren Empire, the holy land of knights, and the desert kingdom of Jahana are both good places for two women.

Including the Mamet United Alliance where Thane once visited, there were also master-level knights born. It was also a place of travel significance for the two women.

The two women's final destination sounds like the Western Islands.

Because the last place that Thain mentioned on the surface was the Dragon Vein Warlock Family on the West Coast, which was actually across the sea from the Western Islands.

They agreed to meet there eventually.
