The Lord of Ashes

Thain stayed with Grant for nearly half a month.

Until he left, Grant was still holding a banquet.

The birth of a first-class knight is too important to the Grant family.

Many people can see that a knight family is in a state of rejuvenation.

The Grant family is moving in an increasingly benign and powerful direction.

And it won't be long before the Grant family may blossom again.

Many of the knights who came to the banquet had the mentality of marrying into the Grant family.

Not only is Thain a favorite, but Thain's father, Grant Sr., and direct and collateral members of the Grant family are among them.

Mutual marriage is a common method for the aristocrats in the wizarding world to deepen their relationships with each other.

Thain's great-grandfather Jerami, Thain could see that he didn't care much about these things.

Although great-grandfather Jerami loved the younger children in the family, the first-class knight himself did not seem to be very keen on the opposite sex. This was also deeply influenced by Thain's father, Grant Sr.

It was Thain's other more senior great-grandfather Ulysses who introduced a second-level female knight wearing a cyan dress to Thain during the banquet.

Originally, Thain thought that this female knight was just an ordinary friend of his great-grandfather Ulysses. Unexpectedly, after the banquet, the super-level monster Reverse Feather Lion King sneaked up to Thain and said: "Hey, that's your great-grandmother. !”

"Originally, Stark had no feelings for her, but just because he saved her once, that woman wouldn't let go of your great-grandfather." The Niyu Lion King said, shaking his big head.

Stark was the name that Ulysses, the great-grandfather of Thain, often used in the Knights Hall. It was originally a pseudonym, but later he used it more often, so that more and more knights called him that, including the Lion King. got used to.

Now Ulysses' name can be changed to Ulysses Stark Grant.

Anyway, he is the first generation knight of his family, so he can change it no matter what.

Some well-established aristocratic families like to add a long string of long suffixes before their names.

The added names are often the names of outstanding figures born in the history of the noble family. When the descendants add them to their own names, they can also add a bit of heaviness and family heritage.

The second-level female knight who was dubbed Thain's "great-grandmother" certainly had nothing to do with Thain from a blood perspective. She met her after his great-grandfather was promoted to a second-level knight.

And also from the Niyu Lion King, Thain learned that his great-grandmother seemed to be particularly keen on arranging for Thain's marriage.

"What outstanding women can be found in the first-class knight Rossay family? I'll choose a good one for Thain from the Oak Empire or the main hall of the Knights Hall!" The Reverse Feather Lion King expressed Thain's great-grandmother with a vivid expression. Words spoken privately to Ulysses.

In response, Thain just twitched the corners of his mouth slightly and did not express anything openly.

Not even the great-grandfather Ulysses introduced the second-level female knight to Thain as her "great-grandmother". Thain simply pretended not to know about it.

Thain usually has too little contact with his great-grandfather Ulysses. On the contrary, Thain is closer to the first-level knight Jerami.

…

He didn't stay in Grant Territory for long, but Thane felt more exhausted than after completing a heavy magic experiment.

It is good to know so many knights above the first level. At least Thain will have people he can deal with when he goes to the Kingdom of Western France, the Oak Empire and the human countries further north.

And on the Lycian Alliance side, Thain's foundation and connections are also deeper.

After returning to the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, Thain took a short rest for two days and then devoted himself to intense experimental research again.

The experiments before going to the Lycian League can be restarted, and because he got to know many knights and learned a lot about their usual training methods, Thane suddenly realized that the knights' training methods might also be applicable to his Jade Fire The secret of body tempering.

Anyway, they are all about tempering the body. In essence, they have something in common.

The only big difference is that knights generally use physical methods to train their bodies, while Thane uses the power of elements.

Laboratory on the 714th floor of the Blue Origin Holy Tower.

At this time, Thain was lying on the central experimental table of the laboratory, with his hands and feet fixed in specific positions around the experimental table.

Thain, who was completely naked, showed off his good figure and relatively strong body.

Thain's body is not thin, probably because Selina feeds him so well every time she cooks. Compared to other magicians, Thain looks stronger because of his taller height.

But Thain is strong and not fat. His muscles are not as obvious as those of the knights. They are usually invisible under the magic robe.

But now he was lying on the experimental table, and his well-proportioned and beautiful muscles could be clearly seen.

Selena was the only audience in the laboratory at this time.

Originally, Thain wanted Irene to come over to help, but it was a pity that Irene happened to return to the French Principality ten days ago and has not returned yet.

Although they have been honest with each other many times, Selena's face in the laboratory was still a little blushing at this time.

She wasn't shy, she was nervous.

Because some of what Selena does next may indeed be accompanied by certain dangers for Thane.

"Don't worry. With my current physical strength, even if you make any mistakes, they will be within the tolerance range."

"Just start as I told you, and be careful not to exceed the threshold of element dosage." Thain warned Selina again, and then closed his eyes.

When Thain closed his eyes, it wasn't that he didn't care about anything, but that he was relying on his mental power to activate the elemental power in his body to walk on a fixed route.

At this time, there were many complex lines drawn on the surface of Thain's skin.

At first glance, these lines look very similar to the magic lines that Thane carved on himself during the Poison Fire and Green Flame World War, but if you look closely, you will find that they are obviously different from those magic lines.

At least it's a little more complicated, and it also avoids several of the more important organs and blood vessels in the human body in the wizarding world.

Next to the experimental table, Selina took a deep breath, and then began to manipulate several complex levers next to the experimental table.

The experimental platform in front of him was made by Thain himself and was specially made for his physical training.

Amidst the "rumbling" sound, a huge and complex metal instrument slowly descended from the top of the experimental platform.

"歘!" A thin flame glowing with red and green fire shot out from the cone probe of the giant metal instrument.

Under Selina's careful and nervous control, this thin flame of high temperature approached Thain on the experimental table.

Next to the giant metal instrument on the top, there is a large jar hanging upright. The jar is filled with various types of liquid solvents.

In order to prepare these liquid solvents, Thain spent a lot of effort, and the magic coins he also spent were not a small amount.

Among these liquid solvents, the most important one for Thain's body refining experiment was the concentrated green glaze he harvested in the poisonous green flame world battlefield.

"The first body refining experiment begins." Thain said silently in his mind while controlling his mental power to mobilize the elemental power in his body.
