The Lord of Ashes

The scenery in the purgatory space has a unique meaning.

A stone castle with the architectural style of the wizarding world's nobility appeared in the center of Thane's territory.

This was built by Thain with a little effort and took half a month.

In addition to a group of demons in the territory who worked as coolies for him, Thane himself also summoned several earth elements to assist in the construction.

The magic of summoning earth puppets was mastered by Thane while he was studying in the Sky City.

As early as the second-level peak stage, Thain's mentor Lu Lianman urged him to learn and master the magic of other lineages.

Not only earth magic, but also other magics, Thain can now use both hands.

This castle will also be Thain's residence and research laboratory for some time to come.

Each saint catastrophe in Faerun lasts from tens to hundreds of years.

‏​​‎​‏‎‏‏‎‎​‏‏‎‎According to the Spider Queen, he can only be led back to the wizarding world after the Saint’s catastrophe is over.

That means that Thane may have to stay in this world for hundreds of years...

After returning, he might be more than a thousand years old. Thain couldn't help but think of his cousin Selina from the Holy Tower of Blue Origin, the female magician Irene, and the members of the Grant family.

If they fail to advance to the second level by then, after Thain returns, they will probably be separated from each other.

Sighing slightly, Thane continued the experiment in front of him.

At this time, lying across the laboratory in the Thane Castle was a bat-winged demon about five meters tall.

This is a new breed of demon that Thain has never been exposed to. Thain has a strong desire to explore and learn about anything new.

The poor bat-winged demon fixed on the experimental table only has the second level of life.

It was captured by Thane.

This bat-winged demon should be a hybrid born from the combination of a purgatory demon and some kind of bat-like creature in Faerûn.

The majesty coming from the superior demon lord could not tolerate the disobedience of this little mixed-blood bastard.

And influenced by the environment and rules of Faerûn, some kind of adaptive evolution occurred.

What Thain is more interested in is the special ability of this bat-winged demon in the sonic field.

This little mixed-blood bastard's actual combat ability is not very strong, and it is definitely at the bottom of the list of second-level creatures.

But surprisingly, with a special sonic method, this second-level bat-winged demon is more capable than most demons of the same level.

Sonic magic is considered a niche branch of magic in the wizarding world, but its overall development has been good in recent years. Since his growth, Thane has met several magicians who master sonic methods.

At least this kind of sonic magic is much more extensive than the blood magic that Thane came into contact with in Sky City.

Thane didn't know much about sonic magic.

But this does not prevent Thain from conducting in-depth research on it.

Or it can be said that it is precisely because Thain's understanding of sonic magic is still in a superficial state that he is extremely enthusiastic about it at this time.

…

The time for conducting experimental research is always fulfilling and short, and it is easy for people to ignore the flow of time.

Thain was tinkering with research materials in the laboratory that day when he was suddenly interrupted by a visitor.

The person who came to visit Thain was Anna Karenina, the daughter of the bloody monarch Leo Tolstoy.

This fifth-level demon with succubus blood seems to be very interested in Thane.

When they were in the Bloody Battle Hall before, the opponent had been staring at Thain.

It is estimated that Thain was the first extraterrestrial creature Anna Karelina came into contact with, which is why she was so interested in Thain.

Including this visit to Thain, the main purpose of this fifth-level demon is to find out some stories about the extraterrestrial star world from Thain.

Not only magicians like Thain are extremely interested in obtaining unknown information.

Including fifth-level demons like Anna Karelina who have lived in the depths of purgatory for a long time are no exception.

Not to mention leaving the continent of Faerûn, she has not even left the purgatory space.

She has been under the protection of her father since she was a child, and has always accepted her father's teachings about the extraterrestrial star world and the glorious achievements of the former hell world. Anna Karelina has always longed to "go out" for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that this Anna Karenina is also the most beautiful woman among the demons in purgatory.

The other party is not only popular among the demon community, but Thain also thinks that her appearance is extremely in line with the aesthetics of humans in the wizarding world.

The race of succubus itself is a race of beautiful women among hell demons.

As the only daughter of the Blood War Monarch, she is also a demon king whose strength has reached the level of a mid-level god. Of course, the Anna Karenina in front of her is not on the same level as the bat-winged demon who was tied up by Thane in the laboratory. .

Thane can tie up the bat-winged demon, but there is absolutely nothing he can do to the succubus queen in front of him.

After patiently answering several ignorant questions about the extraterrestrial star world, Thane discovered with a headache that the succubus queen had no intention of leaving at all.

Anna Karelina is very curious about everything, especially the wizarding world architectural style castle where Thane lives at this time.

Without even saying hello to Thain, Her Royal Highness the Succubus Queen wandered around Thain Castle by herself.

With Anna Karelina's strength, almost nothing here in Thane can escape her eyes.

Including the private laboratory arranged by Thane, even though there is a magic restriction to provide cover, there is no way to block the detection of the Succubus Queen's divine power.

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]

When she saw the bat-winged demon tied to the experimental table, the succubus queen was stunned, and then looked elsewhere as if nothing had happened.

Her Royal Highness is particularly interested in some of the things that Thain brought from the wizarding world.

Whether it was the alchemy puppet that Thain placed in the castle, or the little fox girl and Yuri who temporarily appeared next to Thain as maids, they also attracted the Succubus Queen's long look.

"If you are interested, Your Highness, I can give you two alchemy puppets." Thain said to Anna Karenina in front of him.

Thane's alchemy puppet-making craftsmanship was learned from his first mentor Moshe Duo.

With Thain's ability, although he can't make combat puppets for the time being, some household functional puppets are still fine.

The castle is very big, and it is really difficult for the little fox lady to manage it by herself.

More importantly, the little fox girl also needs to practice. Her orc shaman talent is better than Thain originally expected.

Thain's alchemy puppet is full of practical style, very similar to the one he saw in Moses' laboratory when he first apprenticed with Moses.

In short, the appearance is very ugly, and even some magic array diagrams and alchemy circuits are still exposed, without an anthropomorphic shell covering them.

After all, what Thain needs is not beauty, but practicality.

It was such an ugly thing that the Succubus Queen took one look at it and was attracted to it.

The succubus queen was not polite and accepted Thain's gift with a direct nod.

Just when Thain breathed a sigh of relief and thought that Her Royal Highness the Queen could finally get out.

The young and beautiful succubus queen lightly snapped her fingers, and two succubi wearing flaming long skirts entered Thain's castle at some point.

"Then I'll give you a gift too. These two legendary succubi will be given to you as maids."

"With a pure-blood succubus as a maid, even a demigod-level demon lord will not have this blessing." The succubus queen blinked her crimson eyes and said.

Thain stayed where he was for a moment, looking at the succubus queen, and then at the two submissive and submissive second-level succubi.

Finally, he accepted the gift speechlessly.
