The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 124: All Benefits and No Harm

"Crack!" "Crack!" The sound of the whip whip appeared on the stone bridge outside Grant Castle.

With the release of fighting spirit and the power of magic elements, the originally flat and white stone bridge soon became pitted.

Earl Grant was undoubtedly a noble knight who had experienced many battles.

Although he used an unconventional weapon such as a riding crop, he was very skillful in the strength and direction of his fighting spirit in each attack.

Apart from that, he was still able to fight with ease. Tell Thane where his weaknesses are and where he can improve.

Unfortunately, even though Thain has lived in the underground world of Mensobra for more than ten years, after all, unlike Count Grant, none of those more than ten years came from the war.

Experimentation and research are what spellcasters like Thain spend most of their time doing.

Including Thain, who is relatively ruthless in his attacks and fights, he only fits the temperament of a black magic apprentice.

Unlike his father, Earl Grant, he was not a completely professional soldier.

Earl Grant relied on the profound fighting spirit of the quasi-knights and his countless rich combat experience to finally suppress the arrogance of Thane, who had come to Grant's leadership.

Thain was a little disapproving of Earl Grant's tips and instructions during the battle at first.

However, it was always difficult for him to break through Earl Grant's fighting spirit and riding crop.

Even a high-level magic apprentice like Thain, who is arrogant, has to admit that the height his father has reached in the field of combat is not something that he, who is only twenty-five years old, can surpass.

Of course, for magicians, the most important thing is knowledge.

knowledge is power.

As long as Thane continues to learn and grow, he will one day surpass his father.

"My mental power and magic power are almost exhausted. Is this the level of fighting spirit of a quasi-knight?" Thain couldn't help but think in his heart when he once again threw out a mid-level magic of Fire Hand.

"No, the average quasi-knight should not be like this. The ability to reach this level is also related to the degree of concentration of his purple flame fighting spirit, and the strength of each release of fighting spirit, which is just right." Thain shook his head and thought.

The horsewhip filled with purple fire threw a whip in the air and directly defeated Thain's intermediate magic hand of fire.

Faced with Thain's performance, Earl Grant once again commented: "The attack power of this intermediate magic is good, but I found a problem."

"

You only mastered one high-level magic, right? "

"Including the high-level magic you used to hurt Carter just now, it should also be the offensive magic that comes with the magic wand, right?"

"This is why you mainly use intermediate magic."

"Yes, you are only twenty-five years old this year, and it is already very rare for you to be promoted to a senior apprentice."

"How is it possible to master too many complex and obscure advanced magics? Logically speaking, the promotion of a magic apprentice is much more difficult than that of a knight's squire." Earl Grant said.

Earl Grant's words basically revealed all the details about Thain.

This also shows that he suppressed Thain from all sides.

Thain seems to have exhausted all means, but Earl Grant has not yet exhausted all his efforts.

Faced with this situation, Earl Grant did not want to have a tense relationship with his son who had just reunited.

The earl slowed down his attack and said, "Stay. With the power and background of the Grant family, we can help you find several high-level magic spell models."

"And I know that magicians' research and experiments are very expensive."

"In the name of the Earl and Lord Grant, I can allocate 50,000 gold coins to you every year for research expenses." Earl Grant promised.

The gold coins of the Lycian League are still very strong, especially since the terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, and there is a lot of grain.

In terms of the value of gold coins, the currency of the Lycian Alliance is more valuable than the Western French coins of the Western French Kingdom, and is only slightly less valuable than the Ordinary Gold of the Oak Empire.

Fifty thousand gold coins per year is already an extremely exaggerated figure.

Many poor little nobles may not have so much wealth in their families.

And with such an investment of gold coins, not to mention senior apprentices, even quasi-magicians might be tempted.

After all, Earl Grant was right, magicians' research and experiments cost too much money.

After all, there are only a few people like Thain who have a mine in their family and inherit a rich inheritance from their mentor.

The vast majority of magic apprentices spend nearly half of their lives not on experimental research, but on running around to obtain resources and corresponding experimental materials.

This kind of situation is actually normal for those who have reached the level of a formal magician or above.

In addition to fifty thousand gold coins, the power and connections possessed by the Grant family cannot be measured by ordinary money.

For example, Earl Grant can find a way to get Thain rare experimental materials needed for research, or rare

Expensive energy crystals.

As for this ability, some down-and-out little nobles or the unorganized magic apprentices behind them would never dare to even think about it.

What's more important is that all this is for free, no need for Thain to pay anything!

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Thain's agreement to return to the family is a matter of great benefit and no harm.

Aren’t magicians synonymous with reason and erudition?

Thain should be able to figure this out.

Earl Grant thought he had already defeated Sean, both in battle and in other areas.

But the Earl obviously didn't know what Sean had experienced in the past few years, and he had no idea of ​​Sean's background.

The property of an Earl's family...

Hehe, if Sean cashed in all the mentor's relics in his space bracelet and the thirty second-level energy crystals, I wonder how much this huge Earl's Castle could withstand.

Earl Grant slowed down his offensive, and Sean took a few steps back after releasing a fireball.

It can be seen that Earl Grant had no intention of hurting Sean.

His horse whip was aimed at the magic released by Sean from beginning to end, and the whip containing purple flame fighting spirit never fell on Sean once.

However, Sean still had a lot of thoughts about leaving. As his mental power and magic power were exhausted, Sean couldn't continue to waste time with Earl Grant.

An ancient black magic wand was taken out by Sean from the space bracelet.

This is one of the two magic wands that Moses left for Sean.

Sean has not yet completely figured out the other more offensive metal magic wand.

However, Sean has already figured out the approximate use of this black magic wand, and with his advanced apprentice's mental strength, he can barely control it.

In addition to a restorative body regeneration magic, the black magic wand also has two other spontaneous magics.

One is the offensive formal magic Fire Flame Impact, and the other is the functional formal magic Wind Song.

The mental power value required for Fire Flame Impact is too high, and the magic power consumption is too high. Sean is obviously unable to afford it at this time.

And this level of formal magic... unless Sean wants to destroy half of the Earl's Castle.

The other wind attribute Wind Song magic does not require a high mental power value, and in terms of power and performance, it is more suitable for Sean in his current state.
