Just when Ace and Klin were tired of playing, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind Klin.

Ace quickly recognized that it was the same kind of dark magic that Alice had used before. Thinking that Alice might have something to do with him, Ace spoke to Kling and followed the shadow.

In a hidden corner, the dark shadow gradually revealed Alice's figure.

Ace asks Alice, "Why are you here?" ”

Alice then straightened up and said, "Recently, our Thorn Rose received a mission that required a dark mage. But Lone Wolf had just received a mission not long ago, so he didn't have time now. This time, we need two dark mages for this task. Thornrose can't find a distant dark mage in a short time, so I'll have to come to you. ”

"I found your breath with dark magic, and found you."

Ace nodded, signaling that he knew, and continued: "What is a special mission, why do you need two dark mages?" ”

Alice said, "This mission requires us to go to the Warcraft Mountains to find something. It is said that treasures are generally guarded by monsters. It's hard to get it smoothly. ”

With Alice's strength, it is easy to deal with ordinary Warcraft, but there are many dangerous places on the Warcraft Mountain Range, and it is likely that you will encounter more terrifying existences in the course of the battle. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, the general hunting team will be fully prepared before daring to go deep into the Warcraft Mountain Range. In addition, some monsters have strong immunity to dark mage's soul attacks, such as insects.

But Ace recently learned from the madman Sri Lanka that something big had happened in the Warcraft Mountains recently, and this incident had already aroused the alarm of the Imperial Army.

So Ace told Alice what he had overheard. Alice couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

"However, we have accepted the task and promised the employer to complete it within ten days. So far, as long as we accept the task, our Thorn Rose will be accomplished. If we don't have faith, we'd rather not take this order. ”

"Every time we accept a task, we risk it out. This time, we only need to enter the periphery of the Warcraft Mountain Range, and not the central area. I didn't think there should be any major problems, so I finally agreed to accept the order. ”

"This time, our original plan was for me to go with the lone wolf, but the lone wolf accepted the assassination at the critical moment and has not returned. So I don't really have a choice, so I reluctantly think of you. ”

Speaking of this, Alice couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Of course, you also have the right to choose to refuse to participate in this mission. After all, there are too many dangers in the Warcraft Mountains, but we will definitely protect your personal safety. However, we never force our people to do anything, everything is voluntary. ”

Ace thought for a moment and asked, "What if I refuse this time?" ”

Alice said, "Then I will choose to abandon this mission, which will be the first of our Thorn Roses to accept but not perform." ”

Ace knew in his heart that doing so would definitely affect the credibility of the Thorn Rose, and the reputation he had accumulated over the years might be in vain.

After much consideration, Ace finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, I accept this task." ”

Alice immediately smiled slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, if this task can be successfully completed, in addition to the rewards you could have received, I will also give you some dark philosopher's stones, what do you think?" ”

Ace nodded in satisfaction. The Dark Philosopher's Stone really appealed to him, as it helped magicians quickly restore the magic in their bodies.

With the Dark Philosopher's Stone, he can quickly replenish it when his body runs out of magic. If the timing of the spell is ignored, he can cast dark magic almost infinitely.

It's just that there are too few dark philosopher's stones. In general, it is simply not available on the normal market. They can only try their luck in the black city. Even if there were, the price must be expensive.

This time, if you participate in the quest of Thorn Rose, you can get the Dark Magic Stone, which is indeed a great attraction for Ace.

But Ace was a little worried: "This time, for what happened in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the empire sent a large number of troops, and even recruited mercenaries from the nobles. I think there will definitely be a big change in the Warcraft Mountain Range. Therefore, this time we must be fully prepared for unknown risks. ”

Alice nodded: "Okay, don't worry, this time in addition to you and me, the two dark mages, there are three other intermediate mages, one fifth level and two sixth levels." I don't think there should be a problem dealing with danger in the outer areas of the Warcraft Mountains. ”

In this way, Ace and Alice agreed on a time and place: tomorrow afternoon, at the Wilderness Tavern in the center of Noah.

As soon as Ace came downstairs, he saw Stark standing on an iron bench, wielding a hammer and smashing a piece of black iron in front of me.

looked at Ace's empty face, combined with the dark shadow that Stark had just seen by chance.

So, Stark said coldly, "Who is he?" ”

Looking at Stark's serious expression, Ace also knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.

Then, Ace honestly replied, "His name is Alice Phil." ”

Stark looked at Ace in shock. "In love? You mean Alice? She's not dead yet? ”

Ace nodded: "Yes, not only is she not dead, but she is alive and well." He founded an organization called the Thorn Rose. Now I'm one of them. ”

Ace's body trembled slightly: "Boy, how many things are you hiding from me?" Tell me! I promised your father that I would guarantee your safety in the imperial capital! So, you'd better tell me everything! ”

So Ace told Stark everything he was hiding, including tomorrow's mission to the Beast Mountains.

Because in Ace's opinion, some things will be discovered by Stark sooner or later. Rather than making both parties unhappy at the time, it is better to confess in advance. In addition, Stark is very pleased with Ace's behavior.

Originally, it was expected that Stark would strongly oppose entering the Warcraft Mountains, but to Ace's surprise, Stark did not stop. On the contrary, he also admired Ace for having the courage to enter the Monster Mountain at such a young age.

"Tiger father has no dog, your father was as fearless as you when he was a child, and you are very similar to him now, which is good! Moreover, as a descendant of the Monchi family, if you do not have enough courage, your future achievements will not be very high, which will disgrace the dignity of the Monchi family. ”

After Stark finished speaking, he took out a very delicate piece of metal inner armor.

"This is soft armor made from meteorite iron a few years ago. You can wear it at that time, which adds a lot of security! Stark said, handing the soft armor to Ace.

Ace took it with both hands, but found that the soft armor was not as heavy as expected, but light. It feels like it won't have any effect on the action after wearing it.

"Thank you, teacher!" Ace naturally thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
