The Lord of Ashes

Chapter 15: Telling Each Other About the Past

The different colors of light that appear on the crystal ball mark the elemental affinity possessed by Thane.

Among them, the fiery red color is more obvious, indicating that Thain has a lot of fire element affinity talent.

On par with fiery red, there is white, which represents the light element, and black, which represents the dark element.

In addition, there are many other variegated colors, such as cyan with wind attributes, green with plant attributes, blue with water attributes, etc.

This means that Thane can also learn to master these types of magic, but his ability to master these types of magic may not be as fast as that of fire magic.

In the public library of the Academy of Dark Arts, Thane did not find any light or dark magic with suitable points.

These two types of magic seem to be relatively rare.

His girlfriend Lina does have some knowledge of dark elements, but due to Thain's limited energy, he has mainly studied fire knowledge in recent years, so he has not been greedy and rashly dabbled in the field of dark elements.

Moreover, the mental power and magic power of low-level apprentices also limited Thain's ambition to use more magic.

Only when he reaches the intermediate level, or even the advanced apprentice level, can he have the ability to master more magic and dabble in more genealogical knowledge.

After leaving the public library, Thain continued his two-point and one-line life.

His injuries gradually recovered during this period, especially after his mentor Moses took the time to release two more body regeneration spells on him during this period, Thain's recovery speed became faster.

It wasn't until the grade assessment was about to come that Thain's busy and fulfilling life gradually slowed down.

The Black Magic Academy's grade examinations are held every year, but not all apprentices will participate.

From entry-level apprentices to advanced apprentices, there are corresponding assessments in the four levels. Only the best in each field will participate and stand out, and even enter the field of vision of official magicians.

Thain has participated in a total of six grade-level assessments in the past ten years, and his best ranking was just last year, when he took sixth place among low-level apprentices.

However, in the annual grade assessment, only the top three in each class can receive academy awards.

Apprentices in other rankings only get a sense of participation, and they even have to bear a certain risk of injury.

Unlike Thain, who only finished sixth, Lena has broken into the top three twice in the past eight years.

If entering the top three once can be called luck, then the two times can only be explained by strength.

And Lina’s “genius” and “madness”

The name "crazy" was actually a name gained from those several grade assessments.

It was also when the grade assessment was getting closer and closer that Thain finally saw Lina again.

Since being accepted as a disciple by Master Felena, Lina rarely returns to their nest.

According to Lina's explanation, this is because she has recently been assisting Master Felena in completing an experiment, including her dark magic inheritance, so she has been very busy recently.

After communicating with Lina about each other's recent situation, the two went to bed.

Due to the magic experiment accident, Lina's height and appearance remained that of a little girl, and she now looked very petite.

Thain did not do anything immediately, but gently held the other person's hand and told some stories about himself.

"My name is Thane, but my full name should be Thane Grant."

"I am a noble, but the specific title of my father is a noble. Since I was too young when I came to the Dark Territory, I have no memory."

"I remember my mother having long, light silver hair and sapphire eyes. I remember her always wearing a white dress."

"I may have inherited more of my father's appearance, but unfortunately I can't remember his appearance clearly. I only remember that he had short blond hair like me, and he seemed to be more serious."

Thane rambled about his past to Lina. It was obviously the few memory fragments in the deepest part of his mind, but he actually found out a lot of things.

For example, he mentioned to Lina that he always recalled a green wheat field and the scene of him running and playing with his mother in the wheat field.

More than once, Thain woke up from his sleep, and his gentle and beautiful mother disappeared in front of him, leaving only a dark ceiling, imprinted in Thain's eyes.

Different from the vague impression of his father, more of the fragments of images in Thain's memory are with his mother.

This may be due to the fact that before Thain was six years old, his mother spent most of his time with him. Since his father was a noble, he would naturally be busy.

When Thain told about his past childhood, Lina leaned against Thain and listened quietly.

It wasn't until Thain could no longer recall any memory fragments about his childhood that Lena slowly spoke about herself.

"My name is Lina." Lina said.

She repeated her name without giving any surname, suggesting she was a commoner.

"In the twenty-seven years since I came to the Underdark, I have forgotten everything about my childhood."

"I just remember that it was a relatively desolate small village, and then I

My mentor took me away and named me Lina. "

"My mentor once told me that there was a famine in the village where I lived. She was not only my mentor, but also my savior." Lina said.

The mentor she mentioned was her last mentor, the black magician who died in an accident during a magic experiment.

There is really not much to introduce about Lina's childhood and origins.

However, in Lina's subsequent introduction, Sean learned about her situation when she first came to the Underdark and her previous mentor.

When Lina chose Sean as her experimental assistant and servant eight years ago, her previous mentor had just passed away.

Maybe she was not used to living alone, so she chose Sean, who was more pleasing to the eye and cute.

The more detailed information and secrets about Lina made Sean and Lina's last part of the gap disappear.

It was also after listening to Lina's story about her past that Sean pondered for a long time and finally asked the question he wanted to know most.

"How old are you this year?" Sean asked.

He did not really treat Lina as a little girl just because she looked like a little girl.

Especially since Lina just said that she came to the Underdark 27 years ago, this means that she is at least ten years older than Sean.

Facing Sean's question, Lina lowered her head and drooped her eyebrows, not knowing what she was thinking.

Maybe it was due to her personality. Lina was not someone who liked to hide things. After just a moment, Lina replied, "I am 32 years old this year."

Lina and Sean had a good relationship two years ago, which means that at that time, Lina was just 30 years old.

After hearing Lina's answer, Sean breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know why he was relieved. Even if Lina told him that she was in her 40s or 50s, Sean would choose to accept her.

But Sean was still relieved when he heard that the other party was only 32 years old this year.

The secrets of the two were completely confessed to each other.

Although the magic crystal lamp in the room had been extinguished, Sean and Lina could still see each other clearly with their extraordinary mental power.

Looking at Lina's cold and petite face, Sean couldn't help but approach her.

Lina seemed to have a premonition of something, and also breathed a sigh of relief. This "crazy woman" in the eyes of outsiders took the initiative to come over.

"You...you be gentle." Lina held Sean with her small hands.

So far, no words were spoken that night.
