The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 128: Busy and Learning

Living as a young master of the Grant family made Thain uncomfortable at first.

But gradually, he got used to it.

Every morning, ten young girls dressed in maid outfits appeared in Thain's room.

Help him get up, change clothes, wash, brush teeth, etc.

These beautiful maids were arranged by Earl Grant for Thain, and they are all virgins.

Thain's kind of treatment is the only one in the Earl's Mansion.

Another young master, Sauron, who inherited the Earl's bloodline, only had two personal maids to serve him.

Since Thane is not a knight, he does not need to get up too early like most people in the Earl's Mansion.

Thain's younger brother Sauron, although in Thain's opinion, he is just a showman.

But this kid is pretty good compared to other noble youths.

Every day before the sun rises, Sauron will come to the training ground of the castle with Earl Grant to hone his combat skills or build up his fighting spirit.

Sauron's mid-level knight attendant's fighting spirit and physical strength are both excellent for his age group.

The only thing he lacks now is the training of actual war.

Judging from the count's recent performance and some of the information revealed, war and training are not far away.

As the war between the Kingdom of Western France and the Oak Empire becomes more and more intense, in the face of two urgent requests for help from the Kingdom of Western France, the troops of the Lycian Alliance will soon be dispatched.

Earl Grant, who has the strength of a quasi-knight, must be one of the leaders of the Lycian Alliance.

Although he may not necessarily go to the battlefield personally, he is one of the battlefield commanders.

Zoro has also reached adulthood, and he will most likely go on an expedition with his father this time.

Regarding the war between these secular kingdoms, Thane, who has reached the level of an advanced apprentice and is suspected of having a second-level magician as his mentor, has learned many relevant secrets from Earl Grant in private these days.

The truth of the war is undoubtedly shocking.

However, Thain didn't say much. He also had no words for the low-level soldiers from several countries who died in the war, as well as the damage caused to the larger number of civilian groups.

Thain's mentality is essentially that of a black magic apprentice.

He is not a compassionate sage. It is one thing to have a bottom line, but he does not show random kindness.

The world is too big, and Thain can't take care of so many things. It's good if he can take care of himself and the people around him.

The slogans shouted by the knights' attendants during training were the first noise that broke through the Earl's Mansion in the early morning.

Originally, Earl Grant was worried that the sound of these knights training would disturb Thane.

However, the Earl was relieved when he noticed that the crystal lamp in Thain's room sometimes lit up earlier.

Early morning is undoubtedly the time when the human brain is the freshest.

Although Thane did not have a clear concept of day and night when he was at the Academy of Dark Arts, he was accustomed to being on time no matter what he did.

After getting up under the service of the maids, Thain walked to the window with a glass of green juice he had mixed.

The room he was in was located on the highest floor of the count's castle, a spire-like building.

When Thain first saw this place, he asked Earl Grant to take it as his own room.

This spire reminded Thane of the magic tower of the Black Magic Academy.

Although there are no magic inscriptions here, Thain felt very comfortable after moving in.

The interior space of the minaret is very large, and Thain usually lives in a room on the fifth floor of the tower.

The third and fourth floors were transformed by Thain into his own laboratory, alchemist, meditation room, etc. respectively.

The first and second floors are directly connected to the Earl's Castle. Most of the maids who serve Thain live nearby.

Including there are some magic books that the Earl recently got for Thain.

They are said to be magic books, but in fact they are just relatively low-level stuff.

It seems that except for Thain, no decent magician has been born in the Grant family. This is a family of knights.

Most of the magic books that Earl Grant brought here were books similar to the "Illustrated Book of Peripheral Creatures" that Thain obtained when he was in Peter City.

There are also some precious magic books that record spell models, but those magics are either beyond the reach of Thain, or they are of a low level, and are basically low-level spells.

Thain only flipped through a few books.

There are no magical elements in the books, but they record the biographies and histories of several surrounding countries. Thain has read a lot of them these days.

Reading through these historical books gave Thain a certain understanding of the situation in several countries surrounding the Lycian League.

Not to mention the south, the Lycian Union is bounded by the Kingdom of Western France to the west, the Orc Empire to the north, and the endless volcanoes to the east.

Outside of the Kingdom of Western France and the Orc Empire, there are also many vast and powerful human kingdoms.

However, those human countries have little contact with the three countries including the Lycian Alliance. Although there are frequent commercial and trade exchanges, there is no news of war breaking out between these countries.

Lycian League So far, the formation of the League has

There are nearly five thousand years.

The Oak Empire and the Kingdom of Western France are older, and both seem to have a history of thousands of years.

It's just that the Kingdom of Western France began to decline early, from the empire it was back then to the kingdom it is today.

The relevant history, including its ancient imperial period, has also become unclear.

During his time at the Earl's Mansion, Sean mainly read books.

After he had a general understanding of the history and customs of several surrounding countries, and learned a few new and more practical magic tricks, Sean began to continue to devote himself to experimental research and the study of higher-level spell models.

Earl Grant's previous promise has been fulfilled, and 50,000 gold coins are not a small amount.

After obtaining the relevant funds, Sean immediately asked the Earl to use relevant channels to buy the experimental equipment and related materials he needed with these gold coins.

Props such as beakers and test tubes that are often used in experiments are not rare materials. If you spend enough gold coins, you can buy Sean high-quality goods.

It is the various magic materials and Warcraft organs mentioned by Sean that are more difficult to deal with.

In addition to spending a lot of money to buy, the Earl's Mansion also offered a reward to the Mercenary Guild of the Lycian Alliance.

In fact, if the war was not coming, Earl Grant would have led a team of knights to the Monster Forest in the Lycian Alliance to try his luck.

Anyway, going to the Monster Forest is also a trial, and it can also help Sean collect some things for his experiments.

With a whole family and a large group of people serving him, Sean immediately felt the difference from when he was exploring the truth alone before.

Of course, Sean did not rely entirely on the Earl's family.

Because there was a fictitious second-level magician as a mentor, Sean did not take out such shocking things as the second-level energy crystal.

But some medium and high-level energy crystals began to appear frequently in his laboratory.

In particular, the appearance of a first-level energy crystal made Earl Grant's eyelids jump after knowing it.

Sean did not take out this first-level fire energy crystal to show off.

In addition to speeding up his meditation and magic accumulation, Sean also began to study other advanced magic during this period.

Including the field of alchemy, Sean did not fall behind.

Don’t look at the knights and attendants of the Earl’s Mansion, they train very hard every day.

The second young master, Sauron, sweats profusely on the training ground.

In fact, Sean is also very busy.
