The Lord of Ashes

Dinner was a luxurious meal arranged by Selena herself.

Although Thain can also cook and is pretty good at it, he is still a little inferior to Selena.

This girl spent a lot of energy and time researching recipes in her early years.

Originally, Thain wanted to help Selina, but Selena rejected her.

The first meal that Thain came back from was something he had to take care of himself no matter what. This was what Selena said personally.

Under Selina's urging, Thain continued to tinker with his trophies in the warehouse. It was not until about an hour later that Selina finally came outside the warehouse and called Thain.

Selena's shouts made Thane feel as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.

At that time, Selina also called Thain for dinner outside the laboratory. Bits and pieces of the past are always memorable and impressive.

When Thain arrived at the 702nd floor of the Holy Tower, a table full of food dazzled Thain's eyes.

In the years since Thane left the wizarding world, Selina has definitely spent a lot of time studying cooking.

Because on the table in front of him, Thain saw many new dishes that were delicious, delicious, and delicious.

Keeping Selina's friendship in mind, Thane then took out a golden space ring from the inside of his magic robe.

This space ring was made by Thain himself, but its real value lies in the many items stored inside.

"This is a gift I brought back to you from the world of poisonous green flames. You can take a look at it after you finish eating." Thain said in a gentle tone.

The space ring contains not only various resource minerals abundant in the poisonous green flame world, but also a large number of alien biological specimens.

Selina's path of magic is very similar to that of Thane. They both practice the power of fire and light elements, and they both follow the path of alchemy.

These gifts prepared by Thane are definitely a big gift for Selina, who is only an apprentice.

Apart from anything else, Thane had never been exposed to so many specimens of alien creatures during his apprenticeship.

And those various fire resource ores can also help Selina a lot in the field of alchemy.

Respectfully and obediently, Selena took the golden ring from Sean. Selina remembered something and her face turned red again.

In fact, Selena is not young anymore. At thirty-three years old, she actually already looks like a mature lady.

During the years when Thane was away from Jade Origin Holy Tower Academy, there were many male magic apprentices in the academy who expressed their admiration for Selina, but they were all coldly rejected by Selina.

In the eyes of outsiders, Selena is a cold female magic apprentice who is silent and cold.

Because of Thain's reputation and the help of several other quasi-magicians whom Thain met during his apprenticeship, Selina was basically no one in the academy who dared to mess with her.

Especially since Selena lives in the Holy Tower all year round, her background and origins are beyond the imagination of ordinary magic apprentices.

Only in front of Thain would Selena put down her cold-sister appearance and act like a little girl who was nervous and eager for praise.

During the meal, after praising Selena's delicious food a few more times, Thain asked her about her progress in learning magic in recent years.

Selena was a quasi-mage who was promoted two years ago. Reaching this level at the age of thirty-one at the time, Selena's promotion speed in the entire Bizhiyuan Holy Tower Academy was relatively fast.

It's not that Selina's talent is so amazing, she can be promoted so quickly. A large part of the reason is the sufficient resources that Thain left for her before he left, as well as the top experimental environment at the top of the Holy Tower.

And when Thain was doing experiments, Selina often helped him.

The experimental experience that year was also a valuable learning experience for Selena.

However, after being promoted to a quasi-magician, Selena's growth rate obviously slowed down.

The slow growth in magic and spiritual power is just one of them. The more important manifestation is that Selena does not seem to have a clear direction forward.

"I also want to do what my cousin did back then, and choose a very powerful top apprentice magic, or even formal magic, as a way for me to pry into the mysteries of higher-level truths."

"But in the past six months, I have gained little understanding of growth. It seems that it is not as rewarding as delving into the mysteries of ordinary magic." Selina whispered.

"What magic did you choose?" Thain couldn't help but ask.

"It's 'high temperature searing line'." Selina replied.

High-temperature scorching ray is a top apprentice magic, and it is also an advanced version of the intermediate magic scorching ray.

Selina chose this top apprentice magic to study, which was theoretically correct.

But after all, not everyone is Thane.

“The construction of tall buildings, in many cases, depends on whether the foundation is solid.”

"Although I have been promoted to a first-level magician, over the years I have increasingly felt that I am weak in many areas of basic genealogy knowledge."

"The problem you are facing is probably the same."

"Well, put aside your research on the 'High Temperature Searing Line' for the time being and focus on studying basic knowledge."

"I will make a list of some good magic books for you. These books were all read by me during my apprenticeship, and they should be more useful to you." Thain used a knife and fork to handle the barbecue on the plate in front of him, while playing with each other. Lina said.

"Yes." Selina replied gently.

Selina didn't mind what book Thain would bring her. What she cared more about was that Thain had read these books back then, so Selina was extremely curious about those magic books.

It was absolutely no accident that Thain was able to study and master the Eye of the Sun magic as an apprentice, and with the help of the Eye of the Sun mask, became a top apprentice in one fell swoop.

Countless days and nights, accompanied by books in the library, and forgetting to eat and sleep in the laboratory.

The number of books Thain read during his apprenticeship was probably not matched by any apprentice in the Holy Tower of Origin.

But despite this, after Thain was promoted to the first level, he still felt that his knowledge pedigree was lacking in many aspects.

It is precisely the more I read and the more I know, the more I become aware of my own insignificance and ignorance.

On the contrary, after being promoted to the first level, those magicians who think they have mastered many mysteries of magic elements and are addicted to their own strength will gradually lose the strength and potential to continue to improve.

That kind of blindness and arrogance is the worst poison for magicians, and it is also a representative of "ignorance".

If a magician who is famous for his erudition and exploration of truth is labeled as "ignorant", it would be terrible and unbelievable.

Taking another sip of the juice that Selena prepared for herself in front of her, feeling the familiar sweetness in it, Thane continued to tell Selina about the future study plan he had arranged for her.

With Thain arranging everything, Selina felt sincerely at ease.

Rather than being a cold female apprentice in the eyes of outsiders, Selina wanted to hide in the arms and harbor of Thane.

This woman is not a strong magician herself.
