Chapter 1264: The Divine Tower of Ashes’ Initiates
Kayne was an 18-year-old junior initiate at the Divine Tower of Ashes.
Five years ago, he had been rescued from the black mages by a mage from the divine tower. Ever since then, he had been studying there.
Oh, and Kayne was not the only lucky one that mage had saved.
At the time, over two hundred initiates were rescued alongside him—they had all been loaded onto an airship and brought back to the Divine Tower of Ashes.
Over the course of his five years of study, Kayne came to understand what kind of place he had ended up in. He also gained a clearer picture of the former “Darwell Region”—the land that eventually became Ashenreach.
The divine tower’s library had plenty of details on all of this.
Kayne knew he was lucky, and he felt deeply grateful to the Divine Tower of Ashes.
Everything he saw and learned during these five years made one thing obvious: if the Divine Tower of Ashes had not intervened, he and the other initiates would have suffered far worse under the black mages.
It was not just Kayne who felt that way. Most initiates at the Divine Tower of Ashes shared the same sense of gratitude and a strong sense of belonging.
Among the tasks assigned to initiates, the most common quests involved scouting out black mages and eliminating dark creatures in Ashenreach.
Naturally, the targets could not be too strong. In fact, Most of them were black magic initiates.
Still, they were notoriously cruel, and their brutal tactics had claimed the lives of many divine tower initiates.
