"Dear Sir, welcome to the Imperial Gold Shop. Can I help you? A blonde said when she saw someone coming in.

"I want to get some gold." Ace said with a pretended calm expression. In fact, he was very nervous at this point. After all, he didn't know how many gold coins were in this memory card.

The beautiful service staff at the gold bank quickly recognized Ace and said, "Okay, Mr. Ace, I've seen your evaluation and the game." It's amazing! ”

Ace nodded and smiled politely in response, but his heart was beating involuntarily.

The beauty of the gold bank looked at the storage number on the memory card and quickly found the corresponding account record. Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe the numbers she was seeing.

"Ai, Mr. Ace, you have 124534 gold coins in your account. How much do you need to take? The beauty's voice trembled all the time.

Because she never imagined that a 14-year-old boy would have such an amazing fortune. It's incredible.

Not to mention her, even Ace was startled, but he tried to stay calm and said, "Help me get 50 gold coins." ”

At first, the beautiful woman thought she had heard something wrong. She quickly confirmed this and asked, "Mr. Ace, do you only take 50 gold coins?" She had thought that a rich man like Ace would take out at least a few hundred gold coins when he came to the gold shop, but Ace only needed 20?

"Yes, I want twenty gold coins." Ace knew very well that he was going to the Warcraft Mountains after that, and he didn't need to bring gold coins.

After receiving Ace's confirmation, the beauty of the gold shop quickly handed over 20 gold coins to Ace.

On the way to Black City, Ace went to a clothing store to buy some thick woolen clothes. He used only one gold coin, but he couldn't find it. He could only take a dozen silver coins. Then he went to a bakery and bought a dozen hot breads that had just come out of the oven. I ran out of credits.

He took things to a very remote corner and distributed clothes and bread to poor people who were about to freeze or starve to death. This is the most authentic appearance of the imperial capital.

When he arrives in Black City, Ace feels uncomfortable again. There are all kinds of people on the street. It really is a place where the good and the bad mix meet.

However, after the last academy evaluation, Ace was well-known throughout the empire.

Therefore, when the big shots of those black cities saw Ace, they couldn't help but cast approving glances at him, and some even smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

The women who had flirted with Ace also laughed and joked, "Oh, Ace's little hero." I saw your bravery and ferocity in the academy evaluation. You're really ferocious. When can I let my sister experience your power? ”

Although it wasn't his first time in the Black City, Ace couldn't help but blush when he heard such an obvious hint. Looking at those beautiful women with hot bodies and bold clothes, he didn't dare to stay too long and hurried by.

After Ace left, she could still hear the beautiful woman's charming smile. However, unlike the first obvious playfulness and ridicule, this time, there was a little more friendly teasing in the laughter.

When he reached the door of the Wilderness Tavern, Ace found that the door to the tavern was closed, and it was noon. Why is the door of the tavern closed when it should be open?

Ace had a bad feeling. He strode to the tavern door and knocked on it.

Soon the door opened, and the lone wolf opened it. However, his face was pale, and he looked even more terrifying in the midday sun. The originally curved back now looks a little straighter.

Ace was about to speak, but the lone wolf dragged him into the tavern and closed the door.

As soon as Ace entered the door, he felt an inexplicable chill. Although it was winter and there was a stove in the tavern, the cold air made Ace feel uncomfortable.

Looking around, the tavern was now crowded with people, most of whom were injured. Some of them had thick bandages on their heads, some had several human scars on their faces, and even lost a leg.

"Well, what's going on?" Ace was completely shocked, wondering what had happened to Thornrose during his departure from the Imperial Capital.

Lone Wolf walked up to Ace, pointed to the stairwell and said, "The boss is upstairs, you go find him yourself." ”

As Ace walked forward, he looked at the injured member of the Thorn Rose in the tavern. He saw that almost all of them looked depressed, and almost all of them had dull eyes. Occasionally, someone will look at Ace in the opposite direction. After making eye contact, he immediately turned his head to look away.

Confused, Ace went to a small room on the second floor.

As soon as Ace entered the door, he was completely overwhelmed by a strong smell of herbs. He was stunned, then walked into the room.

In this small room, the décor is very simple. There is an old bed, a round table with various medicine bottles, and a double-door wardrobe, which can even be called an antique.

There is a huge bearskin under the bed and a small wooden bedside table on one side. Sunlight streamed into the room through the window, making the man lying in bed even more emaciated.

"Sister Alice?" In this strange atmosphere, Ace really didn't dare to say too loudly.

The man on the bed moved, and then opened his eyes with difficulty. When she saw that it was Ace, she struggled to support herself and wanted to sit up.

Ace hurriedly stepped forward and helped Alice slowly sit on the edge of the bed.

"What happened to the Wilderness Tavern? Why are you hurting so badly? As Ace spoke, he walked over to the table and poured Alice a glass of water.

Alice showed an extremely ugly pale smile: "I really didn't expect that the wealth and foundation of our Thorn Rose, which had worked hard in the empire for more than ten years, would eventually become someone else's property. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Ace handed the cup to Alice.

Alice shook his hand, and the cup trembled in his hand. Ace saw this and helped him hold the cup.

Ace really didn't understand how the dark mage was injured and why she suddenly became like this.

"Ahh Ace let out a long sigh. "I didn't expect our Thorn Rose to have traitors too!"

Hearing this, Ace's eyes suddenly darkened.

"Actually, I knew there might be some eyeliner in the Thorn Rose, but I didn't expect it to be him!" Alice's face is sad and angry, self-deprecating and incredulous.

Alice was weak and breathing unsteadily, and after a long time, he continued: "About a month ago, our stronghold in the north of the empire was attacked by hundreds of mercenaries. This was originally a small stronghold, and the losses were not significant. So, I didn't pay much attention to the news at the time, thinking that it was a member of the Thorn Rose who offended the mercenaries and caused the accident. ”

At this time, the hidden emotion in Alice's eyes changed dramatically, from the initial calm to cold. Standing aside, Ace could feel the anger in her heart deeply.
