The Lord of Ashes

Life in the Knight Continent Trial Zone always goes by very quickly.

Maybe it wasn't that time passed so quickly, but that Thain felt that the time he spent with Lina passed quickly.

Since the production of the Dark Crystal Magic Wand was completed, another ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the metal tent, Thain stood in front of the crystal ball, examining his various data.

Mental strength: 9

Magic: 12

Constitution: 77

Fire element affinity: 87%

Dark element affinity: 43%

Light element affinity: 51%

…

The various data of Thain recorded in the crystal ball are more accurate and detailed than before. This is because Thain is also improving and strengthening the functions of the crystal ball, and the collection of his own data is also more scientific and rigorous.

In the short fifteen years since he came to the Knights Continent, Thain's mental power, magic power and other indicators are about to approach the 600 mark.

Although mental strength and magic power are not the decisive factors in judging whether a magician is strong or not, for magicians, knowledge is more important.

But it is undeniable that the wizarding world recognizes that the basic standard for reaching the level of a second-level magician is that both spiritual power and magic power exceed one thousand, and one can successfully release a second-level magic.

The acquisition of knowledge allows magicians to improve their spiritual power and magic power faster.

Especially the former, every breakthrough in elemental problems and every birth of new magic brings about a subtle transformation of the caster's spiritual power.

With Thain's current mental power and magic power, he is almost reaching the threshold of a late-level first-level magician.

But in fact, as early as more than ten years ago, Thane was able to compete with a first-level peak magician.

This is the power of knowledge!

"The Knight Continent trial is still going on. I wonder if when I leave the Knight Continent, my mental power and magic power will be able to reach the level of a first-level peak magician." Thain said to himself as he looked at the crystal ball in front of him.

"We should leave. The next wave of beasts is coming soon." The metal tent was suddenly opened, and Lina, wearing a black robe, walked in.

Nodding, and putting away the simple experimental table, crystal ball and other items in front of him, Thane walked outside the tent with Lina.

The "beast tide" in the Knights Continent trial area, in Thain's memory, started three years ago, which was the twelfth year that Thain and other trialists entered the Knights Continent. Before that, Thane was curious as to why those first-level knights and magicians were forced to leave after only staying in the Knights Continent for ten or twenty years.

You know, the normal opening time limit for the Knight Continent Trial Zone is one hundred years!

Now Thain knows that, not to mention other factors, just the tide of beasts sweeping across the trial area has forced the trialists in the trial area to leave here as soon as possible.

The direction where the beast tide forced all the trialists to evacuate was located in the southeast of the trial area.

Thain guessed that there might be a gate leaving the trial area in that direction.

As a magician with ideals and ambitions, Thain certainly didn't want to leave the trial area just like that.

Therefore, facing the constant attack of the beast tide, Thane and Lina did the opposite and headed northwest of the trial area in the opposite direction.

Over the years, Thain felt that he and others had reached the center of this trial area.

In other words, Thain felt this way three years ago.

After all, it was just a trial area prepared for some first-level creatures. Thain had been in this trial area for more than ten years, and he had never seen any other knights or magicians above level two.

Therefore, the area of ​​this trial area cannot be so exaggerated.

The reason why he continues to move north now is to resist the beast tide, and also because he has never been to most areas in the north.

Many species specimens here are very different from those that Thain encountered and collected in the past ten years.

The Knight Continent is simply a rich gene bank of species. Even if Thain has not slacked off for more than ten years, the rare species specimens he collected are probably only a drop in the bucket of the entire Knight Continent.

Moreover, Thane also discussed with Lina, and he believed that there are many trial areas within the Knights Continent, and these trial areas must be connected to each other.

Don’t know what’s going on in the trial area next door?

I don't even know what level of experts the trial area next door is for.

It is this curiosity and unwillingness to admit defeat that make Thain and Lina continue to move in their established direction.

Thanks to Thain and the others, they are only two people, their targets are relatively small, and their strength is among the top among first-level creatures.

In the process of counterattacking the beast tide, the pressure they endured was still within the capabilities of the two of them.

When Thain had packed up and put the metal tent behind him into the space equipment, Lina said: "Wait a minute, Haixi and the others will be back soon."

Just as Lina finished speaking, four little guys with blue and green heads jumped up and down in the jungle very quickly, and finally appeared in front of Thain.

The four little guys in front of me are only less than one meter tall. Their heads look like lizards, but they walk upright.

There are gill-like organs on both sides of the cheeks, and the body surface is covered with a layer of fine scales.

A slender tail drooped behind him, with barbs on the tail.

These four little guys are exactly the four sea lizard eggs that Thain collected from the sea lizard tribe at a high price of one magic coin when he was in the Endless South Sea.

The four former sea lizard eggs have hatched into the four little sea lizards in front of them.

Moreover, the blood energy fluctuations of these four little sea lizards are obviously higher than those of the same age sea lizards in the Endless South China Sea.

The reason for this situation is that on the one hand, the energy element of the Knight Continent is extremely rich, which is not comparable to the barren trench where the sea lizard tribe lives.

On the other hand, it was because during the incubation process of these four sea lizards, Lina personally adopted various blood sacrifice methods to create corpse-training synthetic beasts.

The four small sea lizards in front of me can no longer be called pure sea lizards.

Because they were being sacrificed while they were still sea lizard eggs, a lot of precious resources that Thane and Lina had on hand were added to them.

Thain even took out a bottle of dragon's blood. Most of this bottle of dragon's blood went into the four sea lizards in front of him, including the one standing at the front.

The one standing at the front of the four small sea lizards has a bluer scale overall, while the other three are a bit greener.

Thanks to its outstanding power and potential, Lina personally named it Haixi.

The other three little sea lizards also have their own names, but obviously they are not as valued by Sean and Lina as Haixi.

Thain still remembered that Haixi should be the son of the chief of the sea lizard tribe, a pure descendant of first-level creatures.

However, the Haixi in front of him has nothing to do with the sea lizard chief.

A creature hatched from an egg cares most about the first person it sees after breaking out of its shell.

After the four little sea lizards broke out of their shells, the first person they saw was Lina, who presided over the corpse-training synthetic beast altar. Naturally, Lina was their mother.

Thain was the second one they saw, and coupled with his close relationship with Lina, he naturally became the father in the eyes of these four little sea lizards.

"They are a gift from me to you." Lina was leaning in Thane's arms, panting with a little lack of magic power.
