Chapter 6 Thomas the Devout

Jade Empire.

Qingyuan Province, Raven Town.

As one of the most famous magic towns in the empire, Raven Town has lost its former prosperity and has become extremely depressed.

There were a few pedestrians walking on the street, no laughter or noise, and the whole town looked dead, as if it had lost its soul.

"drive--"

A shout broke the silence of the town.

A luxurious carriage, protected by the guards, drove slowly on the street, heading straight for the magic tower in the distance.

As the center of Raven Town.

Although the magic tower has fallen into disrepair and is a bit dilapidated, it still stands proudly, like an elderly but majestic old man.

The passing of the carriage also attracted the attention of many residents, who stopped to watch.

"The white bell of the orchid is the symbol of the Wright family!"

"Why is Baron Wright here?"

"Didn't he get promoted to the fourth-rank knight some time ago and just received the honor?"

"Yes, I went into the city to pray a few days ago, and saw with my own eyes the priests blessing the Baron."

A fourth-level professional.

It is already possible to establish a family and have its own guard team.

It is rare for ordinary people to see a noble lord like this. Even if they see one, they only take a quick glance and are naturally amazed.

Unfortunately.

The carriage did not stop on the street.

It quickly crossed the street and disappeared at the end of the street, like a stone falling into a river without causing any ripples.

"Father, I don't understand."

A puzzled voice sounded inside the carriage.

"With your current status, you can obviously apply to the Temple for a bishop-level life prayer. Why do you still want to find those unreliable magicians? Mother... Mother's time is running out."

Licia Wright really couldn't understand why her father chose the faraway place over the near one.

After all, ever since the disappearance of the Dream Forest three hundred years ago and the extinction of the elemental elves, the magic profession has completely declined.

Unable to communicate with elemental spirits, unable to sense magical elements, his strength improved very slowly, and even his magic power could only be restored by relying on magic equipment and alchemical potions, which completely became synonymous with expensive and useless.

Now go out and ask around.

Who else is willing to send their children to learn magic?

"Lisia, I know what you mean."

The baron sitting opposite sighed and glanced out the window: "But even if it is a prayer for life, it can only barely delay your mother's pain, and it cannot make her wake up."

He has also tried to pray for his life.

in contrast.

Before he was promoted to the fourth level, he had already spent a large sum of money to invite the bishop of the temple, and more than once.

The result was just as he said.

It can only temporarily delay the pain.

"Is there no other way?"

Licia looked a little gloomy and a little resentful.

If it weren't for that damn curse warlock who cast a high-level withering curse on my mother, she wouldn't have been bedridden forever.

Although the bishop had dispelled the curse, the lost life could not be replaced, causing the mother to continue to suffer the pain of aging.

"That's why I'm here."

The baron retracted his gaze and said solemnly: "Although the Holy Light is very powerful, it is only effective in purification and judgment. If you want your mother to wake up, you must rely on the legendary life magic!"

"Father, what you mean is... there are people here who can perform life magic?"

Lisia understood everything immediately, and her eyes lit up instantly.

Life magic.

Legend has it that if one reaches a high level, one can even regenerate limbs and reverse aging.

If it is true, then there is indeed a possibility of curing my mother!
But the problem is.

As the power closest to the Dream Grove.

Does life magic really still exist?

"I'm not sure if there is, but I have to try first... We're at the magic tower, let's get off."

The Baron said this, drawing aside the curtain and getting out of the carriage.

As soon as I stood still, I saw several magic apprentices coming towards me, carrying bags of things in and out.

"Hurry up!"

"Send these seeds up, don't let Sir Thomas wait too long!"

"And what about the batch of seeds that we ordered earlier? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

The shouting was endless, and those who didn't know would think they were in a vegetable market. Especially the scene of the apprentices moving things, it looked like they were buying goods, not like magicians at all.

Has the Magic Tower fallen to the point where it has to rely on these businesses to make money?

The baron sighed secretly, and the hope in his heart became even slimmer.

However, he still stepped forward to stop an apprentice and asked politely, "Excuse me, is Sir Thomas here? I am Baron Wright, and I came here specially to visit you."

Don't look at the fact that he is now a baron and has been promoted to a fourth-level profession.

But in front of the famous Thomas Will, it is still not enough, even though the magician has fallen.

Plus I need help from others.

So be extremely humble.

The apprentice was a little annoyed when he was stopped.

But when he saw the badge on his chest and the name he called out, his face immediately changed into a smile.

"It's the Baron. What do you want to talk to Sir Thomas about? He is very busy now and may not be able to spare the time."

"It's okay, we can wait."

"Then please follow me and I will take you to the lounge."

After that, several people entered the tower in a mighty manner.

As soon as they passed through the magic barrier, a strong breath of life rushed towards them, startling the father, daughter and their followers.

They looked at each other.

They could see the shock in each other's eyes.

Because this is at least level six life magic, or a high-level magic item.

Could it be that Sir Thomas has advanced?

This is impossible!

At least in the past hundred years.

They had never heard of a magician being able to advance to the sixth level, and even the fifth level was rare, let alone in a small place like theirs.

However, as a guest.

I was also intimidated by the reputation Thomas left behind.

Even though they had a lot of questions in their minds, they did not dare to ask too many questions. They could only follow the apprentice into the lounge and wait patiently.

And at this time.

The top floor of the tower.

Thomas, dressed in a green robe inlaid with gold, was prostrating on the ground, praying devoutly to the meditation circle.

"Great Lord of Dreams, powerful and benevolent Moon God, your most loyal believer, Thomas Will, has prepared the most generous sacrifice for you, hoping to gain your mercy and guide me in the direction of practicing magic..."

Only those who have experienced the Dharma Ending Age know the importance of the Dream Forest to mages.

So ever since he got the response from Dream Forest, Thomas has been staying in the tower, never leaving, for fear of losing contact by accident.

That's why he didn't make a big deal about it.

Because too many people cannot bear to see the rise of magic.

They waited three hundred years.

There must be no surprises.

Even if it costs his life!

hum-

As if in response to his thoughts.

At this moment, the meditation circle suddenly lit up.

The dazzling light quickly gathered in the air and turned into two shiny black fruits.

The few seeds he placed in front of him also disappeared, and the rich breath of life instantly filled the entire top of the tower.

Thomas actually didn't know what the seeds were, he just put some of each on the table.

I didn’t expect to get a response so quickly.

He immediately looked up excitedly.

"This is!!"

Suddenly, Thomas' eyes widened.

Staring at the falling fruits.

Then he rushed forward and caught the fruit. His speed was even more exaggerated than that of a strong warrior. Even the orcs would shout that it was a magic miracle when they saw it. It was impossible to tell that he was already a man over 300 years old.

"Can't be wrong!"

"It really is the fruit of life!"

"Thanks to the gift of the Moon God, I, Thomas Will, will dedicate everything and become your most loyal believer!"

Thomas was trembling all over, holding the two black fruits in his hands as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
