The Lord of Ashes

In the underground secret room of the Grant family's castle, Thane met his father, Earl Grant, who had just finished training.

After not seeing each other for more than ten years, Earl Grant's face obviously had many wrinkles.

But like Thane, Earl Grant is still very handsome.

As he got older, Earl Grant did not become too old. Instead, he looked like an old handsome guy with his masculine temperament.

It was also from Earl Grant and Jeremy's great-grandfather that Thain learned the news that his father, Earl Grant, had failed in his attempt to reach the first level four years ago.

The ancestor of the second-level knight Ulysses returned to the Knights Hall three years ago. A large part of the reason was to find some medicines and special resources for Count Grant to help the knights break through and advance.

"It's not so easy for a first-class knight to make a breakthrough. It's reasonable to fail once. I'll have at least two more chances in the future." After meeting, Earl Grant actually comforted Thain in a pretentious manner.

Earl Grant was right, a breakthrough in the level of life was not a simple matter.

There are not so many cases that come naturally. Many knights and magicians will suffer one or two failures when they break through the realm of life. This is a normal phenomenon.

But for Earl Grant, the failure four years ago was a big blow to him.

Because Earl Grant was already in a safe state at the time, and the family had prepared some special resources for him to break through.

But in the end, not only the breakthrough failed, but all the pharmaceutical resources were also consumed.

With the Grant family's background, the price of this failure is still bearable.

It's just that the physical and mental effects of Earl Grant are not so easy to eliminate.

But looking at Earl Grant's performance, he has kept his mentality and will right.

Maybe failing once is not a bad thing. With more experience and a calm mind, Earl Grant will be able to attack a higher level next time with ease.

After listening to Earl Grant's introduction, Thane was silent for a moment, and then took out something from the space bracelet.

A large number of flesh and blood of flame creatures, some special fire resources, and two clear light blue potions.

Thanks to the fact that the fighting spirit used by the Grant family is the purple flame fighting spirit, Thain's many war gains from the poisonous fire and green flame world can help them.

For example, the flesh and blood of those flame creatures is a great supplement to knights like Earl Grant.

The flesh and blood that Thane took out were all the flesh and blood of creatures above level one. (Below level one, the Grant family can do it themselves without Thain’s help.)

It's a pity that Thain's mentor Lu Lianman has not returned to the wizarding world yet. Otherwise, if he had known about this situation earlier, Thain would definitely have spoken to his mentor.

With Lu Lianman's strength as a fourth-level magician, the flesh and blood of some third-level flame creatures would probably be nothing to her.

The highest-grade flesh and blood that Thane took out in front of him was just a body part of a second-level flame viper, which was not enough for Count Grant to eat.

Thain does have a bottle of the blood of the third-level creature Red Blade Lizard King that he obtained during the plane war, but this bottle of blood has been consumed a lot by Thain's research, and the remaining amount is probably not enough for one mouthful.

Thain felt that what he took out was not too much, but he still shocked Earl Grant and Great-grandfather Jeremy.

Especially great-grandfather Jerami, he had participated in two plane wars, but he was still surprised by Thain's handiwork.

Glancing at the half-body of the second-level flame viper with a complicated look on his face, Jeremy couldn't help but sigh: "Having a tower master as a mentor really brings a lot of conveniences."

Jeremy thought that Thain's achievements in the plane war were all thanks to his mentor Lu Lianman.

In fact, this half of the second-level flame viper's body was one of his trophies when he controlled the magic cannon in the space fortress at the end of the Poison Fire Green Flame World War.

A dozen space fortress magic cannons fired a salvo, causing even second-level creatures to be blown to pieces.

The fortress was quite strict in distributing the spoils, and in the end, Thain was even able to get half of the remains of the second-level flame creature.

The flesh and blood of these flame creatures and the special fire resources in front of him will be of great benefit to Count Grant's promotion to a first-level knight.

Those two potions are special potions that Thain bought for Count Grant in the Holy Tower to stimulate the potential of living organisms.

There are definitely more pharmacists in Jizhiyuan Holy Tower than in other areas.

There are many first-level knights from certain areas who come all the way to buy potions in the trading area of ​​Jizhiyuan Holy Tower.

Thain's ancestor, the second-level knight Ulysses, went to the Knights Hall to buy the potion for Count Grant. The grade was probably similar to the two medicines Thain brought.

Even in terms of cost, Ulysses buying it from the Knights Hall is probably a bit more expensive.

"Great-grandfather Ulysses will probably return to the Lycian League in a year. At that time, I will also hit the first level again." Earl Grant said to Thain.

Nodding to the earl, Thain said: "If I have time, I will come back and take a look."

"No, just study and study magic in the Holy Tower. If I successfully advance to the first level, I will send you a message." Earl Grant said with a smile.

In addition to the first-level impact, Earl Grant also mentioned to Thane in the secret room that he planned to pass the earldom to Sauron this year.

In fact, in recent years, Sauron has been taking care of the Grant Territory.

Earl Grant no longer has the extra energy to be distracted by these mundane matters, so preparing to attack the first level is his main goal at this stage.

Originally, great-grandfather Jeremy was not very satisfied with Sauron, but among the two sons and a daughter that Sauron gave birth to, great-grandfather Jeremy particularly liked the pair of blond twins.

Nowadays, the Grant family is in a harmonious and beautiful scene, so Jeremy has no objection to passing the earl title to Sauron.

As for the second-level knight Ulysses, unless it is a major event involving the life and death of the Grant family, it is just the inheritance of a certain generation of titles, and this second-level knight will not care at all.

A few decades is nothing at all.

As a knight who has lived for more than a thousand years, Ulysses has seen a lot.

Thain stayed with the Grant family for a week. Although he did not go to the Ferelen family, he asked someone to pass on the news and handed over the words he told Selina about his willingness to support the younger generation.

The Ferelen family was naturally overjoyed, and immediately decided to send three of their school-age children to the Holy Tower to study in the Holy Tower of Blue Origin two years later.

During his more than a week in the Grant family, Thain also took time to test the mental strength of direct and collateral members of the family under the age of sixteen.

The results were very unsatisfactory.

In the entire Grant family, there are at least twenty to thirty direct and collateral members under the age of sixteen. (ps: Most of them are from collateral lines, and there are only a few people from direct lines.)

But in the end, there were only two people who had qualified in initial mental strength, and one of them was his little niece.

It seems that blood and genes are really important. The Ferelen family is far less prosperous than the Grant family, but there are quite a lot of magic apprentices there.

On the other hand, the Grant family seems to be good at cultivating fighting spirit.

Including Thain's cute and beautiful blond niece, rather than embarking on the path of magical elements, perhaps the path of fighting spirit is more suitable for her.

Because although her initial mental strength was up to standard, it was only just passing.

Under normal circumstances, unless there is a special way, the Holy Tower will not recruit apprentices with low initial spiritual power.
