The Lord of Ashes

"Sain, you shouldn't have come." The tired voice of his mentor Moses appeared in Thain's mind.

At this time, Thane was in all directions, and all he saw with his naked eyes were the colorful mist of elements.

Not only could we not see the specific whereabouts of our mentor Moses, but even the dozen or so apprentices walking at the front of the apprentice team could not see clearly.

In addition, there was a feeling of discomfort that always appeared in him since he entered the energy vortex.

It was a depressing feeling that made him feel tight in his chest and out of breath, as if he had left the environment he was accustomed to living in and came to another strange time and space.

"Mentor, where are you?" Thain couldn't help but whisper.

Because Thain was in the second half of the apprentice team and had gradually slowed down since hearing his mentor's voice, none of the surrounding apprentices noticed anything unusual about Thain.

"I'm here at the control and stabilization device of the space-time rift, and I'm communicating with you now using my mental power."

"Use the method of mental dialogue. You will understand it naturally when you become a formal magician in the future. Now I have something more important to tell you." Mosheduo said quickly.

Thain did not dare to say any nonsense at this time and immediately held his breath to listen.

"We all thought too much this time. How could there be so many resource demiplanes in the star world, or even planes with complete rules, that we would just hit."

"According to the news and images sent back by some apprentices, it is very likely that what is on the other side of the space-time rift is a broken plane."

"The plane environment there is extremely harsh. The footage transmitted back is full of sandstorms and endless yellow sand deserts."

"My teacher has also been to three alien planes, but the environments in those planes are relatively peaceful and suitable for exploration by human magicians in our wizarding world."

"But this place is most likely an alien plane of a broken plane... I'm afraid even a quasi-magician would have a hard time surviving there for a long time."

"According to my suggestion, for this broken plane of little exploration value, we should immediately recall all apprentices to reduce losses as much as possible."

"But Vice Dean Martin and Ms. Joanne rejected my suggestion, and they wanted to send more apprentices to investigate the situation, and even tried to activate the spatial coordinate generator to open a passage for formal black magicians to enter.

. "

"I don't know why the two vice presidents are so obsessed with this broken plane. This time you go there, you will definitely have a narrow escape." Moses said in a deep voice.

"I am more worried about the situation of my senior brothers and sisters, so I have no regrets when I cross the time and space rift this time." Thain replied in a low voice.

Thain's answer seemed to make Moses feel a little more relieved and emotional.

I saw him then say to Thain: "You go forward according to the established route, turn right after seeing a red elemental ripple, and then turn left... There is something I left for you."

"Your senior brothers and sisters are relatively strong, and as senior apprentices or above, they are also the focus of the academy. If they can return, their survival rate is still relatively high."

"On the contrary, you are not strong enough and will most likely be abandoned."

"That thing can pull you back at a critical moment, but it requires a lot of energy. I don't know if it can help you."

Under the instructions of his mentor Mosheduo, Thane finally found a black grip.

Moses takes great care of Thain. For Thain, this kindness is second only to the protection his girlfriend Lina has given him over the years.

After bowing silently, Thain immediately followed the army of apprentices and walked deeper into the passage.

"In fact, you don't need to leave a backup for your disciples. Even if those intermediate apprentices will be abandoned by us in the end, I will leave a place for your disciples to return."

"Furthermore, our exploration of the alien plane this time may not necessarily fail. As long as the space channel is opened smoothly, not only will those little guys be safe, but we can also make a profit." When Moses and his disciples After finishing the mental transmission, a mature female voice suddenly appeared in his ears.

The person who spoke was the vice-president Ms. Joanne. She didn’t know what exactly Mosheduo and Thane said during the mental transmission, but looking at what Mosheduo left for the other party, it was obviously this old black magician. Some are worried about the safety of their disciples.

The words of Vice-President Ms. Joanne made Moses nodded with understanding.

However, after pondering for a moment, Mosheduo couldn't help but ask: "According to the pictures and related information sent back by the apprentices who have passed, the plane on the other side of the space-time rift, whether it is the elemental irritability or the plane environment, Judging from the characteristics, it is more like a broken plane."

"Why are we still obsessed with exploring that alien plane?"

"I'm very worried that the final harvest may not be enough to make up for our early investment, even if the broken plane seems to have quite a lot of earth element particles," Mosheduo said.

Moses' many questions made Ms. Joni fall into a long silence.

Until the end, Ms. Joanne did not answer Moses' question directly, but just said: "Don't worry, there is something that the dean and I need in that dimension."

"Even if the plane itself doesn't have much development and utilization value, the reward originally promised to you will be paid in full."

After saying that, Ms. Joanne's breath disappeared, as if she had never appeared.

Only Mosheduo still frowned slightly and stayed where he was.

But after a moment, Mosheduo suddenly opened his eyes and seemed to be talking to himself: "What she just said was the dean? Not Vice Dean Martin?"

…

This whirlpool passage deep inside the magic altar is actually not very long.

However, because there are too many broken limbs and dangers in this whirlpool passage, intermediate apprentices such as Thain move forward very slowly.

What is the danger?

He heard another scream coming from the front. When Thain slowly approached, he saw an intermediate apprentice whose arm was cut off out of thin air.

The broken arm of this intermediate apprentice is still stuck in the layer of elemental mist next to it.

This is the danger of space-time cracks. Even the tiny cracks around its edges are definitely not something that these apprentices, who have not even reached the level of formal magicians, can withstand.

This is the third unlucky person among the fifty intermediate magic apprentices in Thain's group to be injured by the rift in time and space.

He was lucky. One of the first two had his head cut off and died on the spot.

The other one had his waist cut off. Although he didn't die immediately, he was almost there.

The deaths and injuries of three intermediate apprentices made Thain and others' progress slower and slower.

It was precisely because of the reduced speed and the fact that hundreds of entry-level apprentices had prepared a path of flesh and blood for them before that they had no further losses until they came to the main entrance of the time and space rift.
