Chapter 143: Moonlight Lake

Kara was still a little worried, "In this way, will the Slime family's accusation of hiding fugitives be proven?"

Al didn't care: "No one will know about it! Before yesterday, it might have been spotted, but those flies have been dealt with, so no one will know."

"Although the people outside the carriage knew that Calero had entered our territory, they did not see that we had helped him to hide, so even if the king really wanted to be convicted at that time, he would at best not cooperate in the pursuit of the fugitive, not to the point of hiding the fugitive!"

Kara was also struck by El's rigor.

She didn't expect that not long after the family arrived, the eyeliner had already been mixed in.

From this point of view, it seems that the new king is not at ease with them, and may even send someone to spy on them at any time.

After a long time, something happened outside the carriage.

Aile gets out of the car again and finds Hiddler ready with the notice and paperwork.

"The file you want!" Hidler handed the paperwork to Al with an ugly expression on his face.

Al took one look and said, "Are you ready so soon?" It's fast! Well, you're in."

After the end of the ail, the cavalry was ordered to give way.

Hidler snorted coldly and said to the man behind him, "Let's go!"

In this way, the group of killers who were ordered to hunt down Calero set foot on Eyre's territory and continued their pursuit north.

Looking at their distant backs, Al said to himself, "I left the Robert family with the last hope, and I don't know if my decision was right or wrong!"

Ever since Ace became a Magister, he began to prepare to go to the ancient forest.

Before leaving, he prepared a large number of alchemical drugs and magic scrolls in advance.

In the Dwarven Kingdom, magic scrolls are rare. After all, dwarves do not worship magic, preferring to learn casting, engineering, etc.

Therefore, in order to collect the magic scrolls he needed, Father Kamikaze put a lot of effort into it, eventually buying enough scrolls from several dwarven collectors.

As for the alchemical medicine, Ace's good brother Arak can also provide it for free.

The Dwarven Mountains are vast and contain many rare herbaceous plants.

Therefore, it only took Arak two or three days to refine enough alchemical medicine for Ace.

When everything was ready, Ace chose a sunny day and was ready to leave the dwarven kingdom for the ancient forests in the north.

Outside the gate of the Dwarven Kingdom, Ace stood next to "Freedom", looked at the dwarves who came to see him off, and said with a smile, "Take care, everyone, I'll leave now."

Kling was still reluctant to part with him. He rushed to Ace, hugged him and said, "Ace, come back early."

Ace affectionately stroked Klin's little head and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Although he said so, in fact he didn't know when he would be back.

After all, this time he may discover information about Hades, the king of Hades, and maybe even more unknown secrets.

Ace couldn't say exactly when he would return.

After comforting Klin, Ace looked at his teacher, Stark, and said, "Teacher, take care of yourself and Kling while I'm leaving."

Stark said angrily, "What? Do you think I'm too old to take care of myself?"

Ace quickly waved his hand: "No, how could it be. Of course I didn't mean that!"

Stark glanced at him, then pulled out a pair of black daggers from behind and handed them to Ace, "It took me a long time to build, you can do it well."

Ace happily took it, watching the white light appear up and down the daggers.

In the middle of these two runes, there is a rune carving with a magic scroll attached to it, and the runes emit a white light.

Ace flicked it lightly, and suddenly white clouds appeared around him. This is definitely not an ordinary dagger.

According to the teacher, he spent a lot of time making this pair of daggers. That is, in the emperor

Before they were all destroyed, Stark might have already started crafting the daggers.

It can be seen that Stark dotes on and cherishes his only apprentice.

Ace was now a truly senior blacksmith, and of course, he knew very well that it would be very difficult to create runes inlaid with magic scrolls on such a small scale.

The reason why Stark made two daggers for Ace instead of the wands that mages usually use is because Ace had discussed with his teacher Stark which weapons would be better suited for dark mages.

At that time, after a lot of discussion between the master and the apprentice, they all agreed that the dagger was the most suitable weapon for the dark mage.

Because dark mages are different from other mages, they can often use mysterious methods to sneak up on their enemies and then deal a fatal blow to them.

Dark mages are more like assassins and killers.

It is more convenient and more suitable for the definition of "assassin" when the dark mage is approaching enemies or daggers.

However, at that time, the master and apprentice also thought that it would be very difficult to create a sufficiently delicate magic circle with a dagger.

Ace never imagined that his teacher, Stark, would carve two magic circles for him.

Seeing Ace's affection for it, Stark was naturally pleased.

Finally, Ace said goodbye to his father: "Father, don't worry too much, I will come back safely!"

Kamikaze smiled and nodded, and then instructed him to say a few short words such as "stay safe".

Ace jumped onto Freedom's back and waved to everyone. Then he took off and quickly flew north.

This time, the main reason why Ace chose "freedom" instead of directly using the magic dragon's wings to advance was to keep a low profile as much as possible.

Sitting in "Freedom", Ace can fly very high and avoid the eyes of others as much as possible.

If using Dragon Wing, Ace can only fly at a relatively low altitude, which can easily attract the attention of others.

Now that he has reached the realm of a magister, he has a stronger sense of the creatures around him.

Soaring into the sky with "Freedom", Ace also did his best to control "Freedom" to avoid some high-level flying monsters. After all, his main task this time was to go to the Moonlight Lake in the ancient forest to find clues related to Hades, the Hades King, rather than to improve his strength through actual combat.

For a young mage who is not yet 20 years old, this is already a terrible fact.

The temperature at high altitudes is very low. As a flying monster, Freedom can naturally adapt to this low temperature environment.

However, it is obviously unrealistic for Ace to fly for a long time in such a low-temperature environment without relying on alchemical drugs to raise his body temperature.

Ace was prepared for these questions long before he set off. He specifically asked Sarak to refine a lot of warm medicine to maintain his body temperature, which came in handy at this point.

Sitting on the back of "Freedom", Ace looked at the endless mountains at his feet, and felt relaxed in his heart.

Now the forces have broken through, and the army is not restrained. It seems that he is now free, and he can go anywhere he wants on the continent of Mandala without being forced to think about survival.

Over the years, in order to quickly improve his strength, Ace suffered in the army and was injured countless times in actual combat.

Now that he has finally freed himself from the constraints of the New Delhi Empire, he can live more freely and is no longer in a hurry to improve himself. The burden on the shoulders is indeed much lighter.

However, the New Delhi Empire still has some things to do on its own, such as the "Thorn Rose".

Ace leaves the New Delhi Empire this time, but he doesn't have time to take Alice and Lone Wolf with him. Still a little worried.

After all, now the capital of the empire has been destroyed, and they have lost all their refuge. If they can't hide as soon as possible, they may even be captured by the Emperor's Regiment.

He did go look for them before Ace left, but the Imperial capital had been completely destroyed. When Ace went to the collapsed courtyard, there was no sign of them.

Ace could only pray in secret, hoping that they would find shelter as soon as possible and never be caught by the Legion.

Now, he needs to go to Moonlight Lake to explore the secrets of Hades, the king of Hades. At the moment, he does not have time to look for two companions of the New Delhi Empire. He felt a little guilty.

The thought of this made Ace feel a pang of confusion.

After more than a day of flying at high altitude, Ace found that the scenery beneath his feet was finally beginning to change.

The mountains that used to be endless are gradually disappearing, and they are replaced by endless green forests.

"Looks like we've reached the Ancient Forest!" Ace whispered, he let hope fly.

As Ace made his way through the clouds to the low altitude, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, because the air here was so fresh that he couldn't help but feel comfortable.

At the end of summer, the old-growth forest, the greenery here is even more intoxicating.

Ace's index and middle fingers of his right hand were close together, and he wiped his eyes as he said the incantation.

After the spell ended, Ace opened his eyes, and the world in front of him suddenly changed dramatically.

He sat on the back of the Liberty and looked out at the dense forest below. The images and breaths of countless magical beasts and animals are imprinted in his eyes.

This ancient forest is endless, and there must be a lot of high-level magical beasts that hide terrifying powers, and there may even be catastrophic level magical beasts.

In the world of Warcraft, levels often mean everything.

If any low-level Warcraft intrudes into the territory of a high-level Warcraft without authorization, such an act will be considered a high-level Warcraft provocation and may trigger an unnecessary battle.

Freedom: "After all, it's just a level 6 monster. If he accidentally provokes a powerful monster in the ancient forest, Ace will find it a little tricky.

Especially those dragon monsters with the ability to fly, it will take a lot of time.

In addition, the ancient forest is, after all, the boundary of the elemental envoys. If there is too much noise here, it is difficult for Ace to explain.

When he came to the Ancient Forest, he had to ask the Elemental King for instructions to enter the Moonlight Lake, which was regarded as a "sacred lake" by the Elemental Envoy family. There is always a need for help. If it's too high-profile, it's really unreasonable.

In this way, while feeling the breath of life in the ancient forest, Ace controls "Freedom" to fly in the direction of Terraria.

After flying for more than three hours, Ace finally saw the towering tree from a distance.

It is the tree of life in the mouth of the elemental envoys.

Before entering the Ancient Forest, Ace, like the previous one, let Freedom stop in a nearby clearing and walk into the forest.

With his identity as a dark mage, Ace constantly shuttles through the dense forest.

Some animals with sensitive perceptions, even if they feel strange for a while, observe for a period of time, and do not find anything abnormal, they will no longer be vigilant. After all, Ace's speed is too fast!

Soon, Ace arrives in Terraria. He looked up at the big tree, still shocked, even though it wasn't the first time he'd seen it.

This tree of life does have a very unique charm that fascinates Ace a bit. As for the specific reason, Ace himself can't say.

Soon, two elemental causes the guards to discover Ace's arrival.

An elemental made the guard walk up to Ace and say, "Mage Ace. Please wait here for a while. I'll go in and report back."

Ace smiled and nodded.

Compared to his first visit to Terraria, these elements made the guards' attitude towards him significantly better.

Although unpopular with the crowd, at least for the first time there was no hostility and arrogance.

Soon after, the elemental sent the guards back to Ace and brought him to Terraria once more.

Compared to the first time, Ace has a more intimate feel for this element that gives the kingdom. It seems that everything here gives him an inexplicable sense of familiarity and closeness.

For this feeling, Ace secretly guessed that it might be because his mother was also an elemental envoy, and the blood of the elemental envoy family flowed in his body.

After the first visit, the Elemental made the attitude towards Ace change a lot. While many elemental envoys remain indifferent to Ace, most elemental envoys will meet Ace

Nod and smile politely, which can be seen as a greeting.

Before Ace reached the bottom of the Tree of Life, he heard footsteps ahead.

Ace looked up and smiled.

Jennifer smiled and ran to Ace.

"Hahaha, Ace, it's really you! Great!" The expression on Jennifer's face quickly froze as she saw a very noticeable scar on Ace's cheek.

Jennifer looked at the scar in shock and asked confusedly, "Are you hurt?"

After Jennifer finished speaking, Ace touched his cheek in embarrassment and said, "I'm fine, I'll tell you later."

In fact, the scar is not irreparable, but deliberately left by Ace. He wanted to keep the scar forever so he could remember the humiliation he had suffered.

Jennifer smiled again, "It's okay! We elemental make a moonlight lake. The water of the lake heals wounds. If you soak the scars on your face in the lake, they will be removed quickly. By the way, what happened to you this time."

Ace replied, "This time, I really have a very important thing to do, and this matter has something to do with Moonlight Lake."

"Does it have anything to do with Moonlight Lake?" Jennifer looked confused, but she quickly jokingly said again, "Anyway, if only you could come!" Let's go, my dad is still waiting for you!"

With that, Jennifer took Ace to the top of the Tree of Life.

"What? Are you going to Moonlight Lake?" In the halls of Terraria's palace, the Elemental King looked at Ace in surprise.

He was very surprised by such a request.

First of all, because Moonlight Lake is of great significance to the Elementals. After all, this is their holy lake. The Elemental Envoy will guard there all year round, and the Elemental Envoy is not allowed to take water from the lake at will.

Secondly, it was because the Elemental King did not understand why Ace had entered the "Sacred Lake". Because it is said that there is a mysterious creature in the sacred lake, which is very fierce.

It is said that although this thing does not come out of the water on its own initiative, once the monster without long eyes wants to enter the water, it never comes out again.

After Ace made this request, Jennifer and Sacrifice Simon were also confused.

Ace smiled awkwardly at their strange looks, then took out the somewhat broken map from his arm and handed it to the Elemental King.

"This should be the map left by Hades, the Hades King, and the location marked on it is Moonlight Lake, therefore, I want to enter Moonlight Lake to find it, after all, this may even affect the survival of the entire Mandala Continent!" Ace had a very serious face when he spoke.

The Elemental King frowned, glanced at Ace, and then at the Priest.

Simon smiled helplessly, "I'm afraid we need to consult the Elemental Elders!"

Ace had a headache as soon as he heard the words "Elemental Elder". He had seen the stubbornness of those old fellows at the last banquet.

Those elements have always caused the elders to have a great prejudice against humans. They consider humanity to be a vile and dirty race. Not only are they selfish, but they are also cunning and fickle. Not worth associating with humans.

If this request to enter the Sacred Lake requires the consent of the Elemental Elders, there will be some trouble.

How to convince those old diehards to allow a person to enter their "sacred lake" really takes a lot of words. It may not even be possible to succeed at all.

But even so, Ace still wanted to try.

He said solemnly to the Elemental King, "Actually, there's one more thing I want you to know."

Looking at the Elemental King's confused expression, Ace continued, "Actually, my mother is an Elemental Envoy."

"What!" Elemental Kings Jennifer and Simon shouted in almost unison.

Ace didn't expect his words to cause the three elementals to react so violently.

The Elemental King was the first to react, and he asked curiously, "What's your mother's name?"

This is because in the Elemental Family, the name of each Elemental Envoy is recorded in the "Book of Elemental Envoys".

As long as the Elemental Envoy didn't change her name at will, he would be able to find her identity.

"My mother's name is Sarina!"

"Sarina?" The Elemental King and Simon exclaimed again, but this time, Jennifer didn't know.

After all, when Sharina left the ancient forest, Jennifer was still very young and didn't understand much.

"Do you know my mother?" Seeing the appearance of the Elemental Envoy King and Simon, Ace couldn't help but ask.

But the Elemental King smiled wryly and said, "Not only do the two of us know each other, but there is hardly anyone in the kingdom in the whole Elemental Who does not know Sarina."

Jennifer next to him couldn't help but mutter, "Really? Then why don't I know?"

But the king of the elements said, "Because you were too young then."

Simon frowned, "So you have elemental blood in your body?"

Seeing Ace nodding, Simon suddenly nodded, "No wonder your dark mage level has increased so quickly, because you have elemental blood in your body. The elemental makes the family believe in Lulcey, the god of the night, and it has a unique connection between itself and the moon that can help you absorb the dark elemental quickly."

"Yes!" Ace nodded. "I was able to reach the realm of the Dark Magus so quickly, and I think it has a very close relationship with the elemental blood in my body."

A gleam flashed in Simon's eyes, "Have you become a Magister?" Ace nodded.

"It's really rare for a magister to be less than 20 years old." The Elemental King couldn't help but exclaim.

Jennifer asked curiously, "What is a Magister?" Is it powerful?"

Like the dwarves, the Elemental Envoys do not advocate magic. They also worship the power of nature, such as "life growth", "elemental", "prayer", etc.

They worship the power of nature more, and because of respect for life, they try not to kill animals in the forest.

Of course, if someone dares to trespass into their land and kill wantonly, then the Elemental Envoy will not be relenting.

There were once some high-level magical beasts who didn't know what to do, and they broke into the territory of the Elemental Envoy Kingdom and killed several Elemental Envoys.

In the end, these monsters died under the icy light weapons of the elemental guards.

Simon explained, "The magister may be as powerful as a great elemental."

"The Great Elemental?" Jennifer was shocked. "Doesn't that mean Ace's strength is similar to that of the teacher?"

The priest nodded, "Theoretically true."

Jennifer couldn't help but exclaim, then looked at Ace with a reverent expression on her face, and said, "Ace, it's amazing, how can you be so strong at such a young age."

The Elemental King then straightened his face and said, "Let's get down to business and move on to the matter of entering the Sacred Lake."

Simon thought for a moment and said, "Now it seems that it is not impossible to convince the elders."

At this time, Simon looked at the Elemental King.

The elemental made the king have a strange expression on his face. He sighed and said, "Sharina is the eldest daughter of the Great Elder."

Ace was stunned and muttered to himself, "Eldest daughter?"

"Yes, your mother left the ancient forest without saying goodbye. We don't know why. If the Grand Elder still cares about Shalina, maybe he will grant you access to the Sacred Lake." The Elemental King said.

Ace's eyes were filled with sadness, "My mother has died."

"Dead?" Both the Elemental King and Inglo are incredible. It should be known that the elements make a lifespan much longer than humans. In general, they can live for more than a few hundred years.

"Yes! She's been dead for more than a decade." Ace's mood was at its lowest.

Sensing Ace's sadness, Jennifer beside him was also sad. She couldn't help but shake Ace's hand and comfort him, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"How did she die?" The Elemental King couldn't help but ask.

Ace's voice was low, "Others say she jumped off a cliff to cover a group of dark mages, but I don't agree with that conclusion, so I suspect that my mother was killed. Now, those people have now paid the price."

Seeing that Ace was so depressed at this time, Simon and the Elemental King glanced at each other, and they were reluctant to continue asking.

After Ace's mood stabilized, the Elemental King continued, "Do you need to go to the Elder now?"
