He never thought Ace and his father would do such crazy things.

Speaking of this, Ace's eyes suddenly became cold: "The father and son of the Robert family must have something to do with my mother's death, so they must also pay for it."

"Didn't you just say that you just turned Morton Robert into a wreck, and didn't kill him? Isn't that a hidden danger to yourself?" Kia frowned.

Ace waved his hand nonchalantly, "Without our help, the new king is not a simple character. If Robert had fallen into his hands, he would have been worse than dead. Moreover, if my father and I had killed their father and son directly, our reputation in the New Delhi Empire would have been even worse. It's best for Terrera to torture that waste to death!"

Kia looked at Ace in surprise. He didn't know that Ace, a young man who was less than 20 years old, could have such an amazing and meticulous mind.

If it is an ordinary person, after experiencing endless torture, the first reaction must definitely be to tear the other party to shreds.

However, Ace held back the ferocious anger in his heart and thought of using the new king against his enemies. In this way, he can do his best to restrain himself in the face of anger and eventually deal with it calmly. This kind of self-control is really very difficult.

Ace's momentary indifference quickly passed, and his eyes gradually returned to normal.

"What I am worried about now is not the security of the New Delhi Empire, but the future of the entire Mandala Continent. You know, the demons in the abyss are still endless, and no one knows when the demons inside will invade on a large scale again. With the current strength of the Kingdom of New Delhi, I don't think it is possible to completely resist the invasion of demons."

Speaking of this, Ace had a worried look in his eyes: "At that time, the empire may fall, and the entire Mandala continent will suffer, whether it is Terraria or the Dwarven Kingdom, it is inevitable."

Kia was also a little nervous: "Is it really that serious?"

Ace nodded, "The last world war has already caused huge losses to the New Delhi Empire, and a large number of Magister-level figures have died. Even so, relying on the old earl's demigod-level strength, we were able to barely stop the invasion."

"I think the demons have been recuperating in the Abyss lately, and the longer they rest, the more intense the attack will be the next time they invade. So I think what we should do now is to seal the Abyss Gate again before the next demonic invasion!"

"Now, there is no real god in the entire Mandala continent, so I hope to find the trace of Hades, the king of Hades, so this map is the only clue now."

Chia pouted and said, "It can be said that your father Monchi, the kamikaze, is closest to the realm of a god in terms of strength."

Ace shook his head and said, "You don't know, my father's strength began to fade after that great battle."

Seeing Chia's bewildered face, Ace explained, "In that war, my father defeated the Count with the help of some extremely powerful force. But it all comes at a price. In the months following that war, my father's strength declined significantly. I could feel it, he knew it very well, but we didn't mention it."

After listening to Ace's narration, Kia was silent for a moment and nodded.

The old forests look exceptionally clean at the end of summer.

The sun is shaded by the thick foliage overhead, so people don't feel any heat.

Ace and his party set off from Terraria and slowly walked towards Moonlight Lake in the heart of the ancient forest.

This time, he was accompanied by Jennifer and Simon, as well as twenty Elemental Envoy guards specially assigned by the King of the Elemental Envoys.

Initially, when Jennifer asks to follow, the Elemental King strongly opposes it, but he can't stand Jennifer's soft grinding bubble, and eventually the Elemental King has to agree.

However, the condition of the entourage was that Simon must go with him, and twenty elemental guards were sent to protect him. After all, Moonlight Lake has some terrifying creatures that all the elementals know about. As an elemental princess, Jennifer naturally can't have an accident.

This time, Jennifer succeeds in convincing her father to accompany Ace to Moonlight Lake. Of course she was pleased.

But when she looks

It was a little uncomfortable to get to the Simon sensei who was following him and the twenty elements with serious expressions on the guards.

Jennifer muttered under her breath, "I'm not a child, why do I need so many people to follow me? Besides, I can communicate with any creature in the forest, so why so many people are protecting me? Besides, Ace's strength is so strong, my father is really doing it!"

Simon coughed softly, "Jennifer, I'm not deaf!"

Jennifer smiled awkwardly.

Ace on the other side could only shake his head helplessly.

"Jennifer, you don't have to come with me, it's too dangerous after all." Ace said.

Simon muttered to himself, "What's wrong? Now even you're starting to hate me? Do you think I'm too weak to take risks with you?"

Ace waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that, I just felt that as an Elemental Envoy Princess, you are the hope of the Elemental Envoy Family's future, and you should not be in danger."

Jennifer ignored it altogether and said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to drag you down."

Ace could only smile helplessly when he saw that Jennifer still misunderstood what he meant.

Simon looked at the sky and said, "It's already afternoon, we have to find another safe place to stop and rest for an hour, it's not wise to go into the ancient forest at night."

"There should be a small courtyard ten miles ahead, and we'll stay there for one night tonight, and we'll leave tomorrow morning, and at the current pace, we'll be able to reach Moonlight Lake the morning after tomorrow."

Ace naturally has no opinion on this.

After walking a long way, Ace finally saw a small cabin built on top of several large trees in the distance.

"That's the Sunshine Garden." Pointing to a small courtyard in the distance.

They soon came to the Nikko Garden.

The elemental envoys here all seemed very respectful and a little reserved after seeing Simon.

The owner of the courtyard stayed with Simon all the way and asked him if he needed anything.

After some time of communication, the courtyard master found that the high priest seemed to be more approachable and did not have any temper

At this time, his etiquette eased a lot, and his words and deeds were natural.

"Is there a shortcut from here to Moonlight Lake?" Simon asked.

The small element made the village chief Yarrow think for a moment and replied, "Yes, but this is a dangerous road, with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. However, if you want to take this road, you can really save about half a day because you can bypass the winding mountain road."

Simon subconsciously looked at Ace, as if asking Ace's opinion.

Ace nodded. For him, the sooner the better. If there are shortcuts, why waste time.

The owner of the courtyard was clearly surprised by such a picture.

Initially, the elements here shocked the high priest to bring humanity.

Now even more incredible is that the high priest even asked for advice from humans.

"Well, Yarrow, will you show us the way tomorrow?" Simon asked.

Yarrow was a little shocked, then nodded quickly, "No problem, no problem."

After the agreement was signed, Ace and the others took up residence in this courtyard under Yarrow's arrangement.

The sky soon darkened. Standing in the doorway, Ace looked down and found that there were lights on the ground around the courtyard every ten meters or so that illuminated the surrounding area.

Such a scenario is basically the same as Terraria's.

According to Jennifer, these lights are mainly used to keep some scary creatures in the forest at bay at night.

In fact, Ace has always been curious. Do those so-called ghost cavalry really exist?

Looking around, the mist that rises inexplicably makes the already dark forest even more mysterious.

With the help of night vision, Ace sees a three-tailed fox crouching by a creek in the distance, waiting for its prey to come to his door automatically.

In the sky, the Shadow Eagle is also circling, looking for prey.

Ace closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could feel all the life within a radius of more than ten miles. But found

There are no high-level Warcraft, and there are no souls that are too powerful. He couldn't help but feel more secure.

That's when Jennifer came to him.

"What are you doing?" Seeing that Ace closed his eyes and said nothing, Jennifer asked curiously.

Ace opened his eyes and said, "I can sense the creatures around me."

Jennifer happily asked, "Can you communicate with them?"

Ace shook his head, "No! I can only feel their breath of life and judge their level, because I am a dark mage and have a strong sense of perception."

Jennifer suddenly understood.

At this time, Jennifer suddenly showed fear. She looked frightened, her lips trembling and she said, "They, they're coming!"

Ace was taken aback by Jennifer's presence. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Who's coming?"

Jennifer suddenly turned to Ace and said, "The animals in the forest told me the ghost cavalry is coming."

Then Jennifer pointed north, "There, a few miles from here."

Ace frowned. He used the search technique of the dragon inheritance to explore again, but still found nothing.

At this time, Ace suddenly realized that the ghost cavalry was not a living thing, and he naturally couldn't perceive it.

Ace also began to get nervous at this time. He looked around and saw that the lights around the Sunlight Courtyard had not been extinguished. His heart was still at peace.

But the thought that the mysterious ghost cavalry might come here made Ace a little worried.

"Go to your teacher and explain the situation to him. I'll go out and find out the truth." Ace nudged Jennifer and said.

Jennifer was about to agree, but she quickly realized something and said to Ace, "Don't go out! Ancient forests at night are very dangerous. Now that the Ghost Cavalry is back in the picture, you should stay here and not go out!"

Ace urged, "Don't worry, I won't reveal my location. Don't forget that I'm a dark mage, and I can hide! Hurry back!"

After saying that, Ace pushed Jennifer again.

Seeing the urgency of the situation, Jennifer gritted her teeth and ran towards the east side of the Sunshine Courtyard.

She ran much faster than usual, just hoping to find her teacher, Simon, as soon as possible and ask him to stop Ace from entering the forest.

But in fact, no matter how fast Jennifer runs, he can't get there in time because Ace is a dark magician. The moment Jennifer left, he had already disappeared in place.

With the help of Concealment, Ace travels through the ancient forest at night.

Instead of heading directly due north, he turned an arc and accelerated in a northeasterly direction.

At this point, he didn't know the true situation of the Ghost Cavalry, so he wanted to avoid its front and go around to the side to take a look.

Ace now has the strength of a Magister. With incredible speed, he could traverse three or four miles between a dozen breaths.

Ace quickly stopped at a large tree, then hid behind the trunk and looked southwest.

The reason he stopped was that he felt a strange coldness.

It's the end of summer. Although it was still cool late at night in the old forest, it wasn't cold at all.

His instincts told him that the Ghost Cavalry was not far from him.

After waiting for a while, Ace did hear the sound of horses' hooves.

The sound was heavy and consistent, echoing deep in the forest, adding a bit of terror.

Theoretically, nocturnal old-growth forests are hunting grounds for many nocturnal animals. There should be a lot of creatures here.

However, Ace used the Dragon Skill to feel it. Within a two-mile radius, he found no animals.

It seems that the animals here knew that there would be ghost cavalry tonight and had already left here early.

Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves getting clearer and clearer, Ace could only feel his heartbeat getting faster and faster, which was a completely uncontrollable acceleration.

When Ace was at a loss, he saw a black war horse in the fog in the distance, with stiff movements and blue eyes.

Immediately sat a man dressed in silver-white precision armor

, and a sword that glows black at his waist.

Ace preliminarily judged that the general should be Leonardo da Vinci Kyle, who was once the commander of the elite cavalry of the Elemental Envoy Family, and the sword at his waist was the natural sword of the Elemental Envoy Clan—full of greenery.

However, according to Jennifer, Greenery should be green, but the sword around the Ghost General's waist is black.

Behind the ghost general, there is a large cavalry. Ace roughly estimated that there should be more than twenty ghost soldiers.

What made Ace even more confused was that there was no sound other than the sound of the horse's hooves on the horse's back.

Look at the foot of the war horse, it is actually in the air, it is not firmly on the ground. Since there was no landing, where did the hooves come from?

This really confuses Ace.

Soon, the cavalry came more than 30 meters in front of Ace.

Just when Ace thought that the Ghost Cavalry would continue to march east in the direction of the Sunlight Garden, the Ghost General suddenly stopped. The ghost horse behind him naturally stopped.

Ace couldn't help frowning: Why did you stop?

As soon as he had this idea, the ghost general "looked" in Ace's direction.

Ace couldn't help but be taken aback, but he soon realized that he was obviously under the cover of hidden magic, and he suppressed his breathing as much as possible, which should be impossible to detect.

At this time, Ace noticed that the ghost general had no flesh and blood at all, and there was only a pile of black mist in the silver scale light armor!

The ghost general just watched Ace quietly, motionless.

Suddenly, Ace hears a "click" sound under his feet.

He secretly said no, and soon flew to another big tree next to him.

Almost as soon as he left the tree, he heard a "boom". The tree fell heavily, bursting with black gas.

The flames quickly engulfed the fallen tree, burning the entire tree to ashes almost instantly.

Ace was shocked. Before he could react, he suddenly felt a cold air coming from below.

He quickly looked down and was immediately startled by the scene below.

It turned out that the mysterious flame had spread very quickly, and now it had extended to the big tree where Ace was standing.

In the blink of an eye, the flames rushed towards Ace's feet, and he felt an extremely cold breath coming from his feet. Ace quickly escaped with "speed".

However, every time he lands on the tree, the tree is completely engulfed in mysterious black flames in an instant.

In just a few seconds, more than a dozen towering trees were burned to ashes by the flames.

You know, Ace has never been in this situation under the cover of hidden magic.

But wherever Ace went, the flames followed him.

Seeing this, it is possible to destroy a large area of ancient forest. Ace landed immediately. A pair of dragon wings suddenly appeared behind him, turned into a flash of speed, and quickly disappeared into the distance.

After running some distance, Ace couldn't help but look back and find that the Terror Flame hadn't caught up with him. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He shuttled back and forth through the forest for a moment, making sure he was free of the black flames. Only then did I change course and walk towards the Nikko Garden.

After running a long distance, Ace put away the dragon's wings and continued with "Speed".

Soon, Ace came to the outside of the Sunshine Garden.

At this time, Jennifer, Simon, and Yarrow, the chief of the Sunshine Garden, were already standing on the watchtower at the entrance of the village.

Underneath the watchtower, there are twenty elemental envoys to guard.

Jennifer and Simon were relieved to see that Ace had finally returned.

Ace didn't look relaxed at all. He stood beside Simon and said solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, the Ghost Cavalry should be here soon!"

"Huh?" Jennifer couldn't help but exclaim.

Jennifer still looks back with great fear of the Ghost Cavalry he witnessed.

Simon said solemnly, "There are a lot of fluorites around the Sunshine Garden, and they don't dare to rush into the village.

」

Afterwards, Simon said to Yarrow, "Let us all light the lights in the house and let them hide in the house and not come out!"

Seeing that the high priest looked very serious, Jennifer suddenly became nervous and hurriedly explained everything in the village.

"Did you see that?" Simon asked in a low voice.

Ace nodded, "I did see a cavalry of about twenty people. And, even if I used concealment magic, I wouldn't be able to avoid being discovered by the ghost general."

"You mean Leonardo da Vinci Kyle?" Simon asked, frowning.

Ace nodded, "It should be, but the sword at his waist seems to have changed from green to black."

"How is this possible?" Jennifer shouted, "Greenery is the magic sword of our Elemental Envoy family. It has always been green. How did it turn black?"

Simon couldn't help but ask, "Ace, are you sure you're right?"

Ace shook his head, "I'm absolutely not mistaken! Unless the ghost general isn't the Da Vinci Kyle you say."

"However, Leonardo da Vinci Kyle seems to be the only ghost cavalry to appear in the Ancient Forest in recent years, and generally only near Terraria, why did he come to the Courtyard of Daylight today?" Simon really didn't get it.

Ace looked at the dark forest in the west, "They should be there soon, you should be able to see them."

As soon as Ace's voice fell, everyone in the Sunshine Garden heard the sound of horses' hooves. The sound soon reached outside the village, from far to near.

Through the white smoke, a ghost general could be seen sitting on a tall black horse, looking coldly in the direction of the Sunlight Garden.

Jennifer's gaze fell on the sword on the ghost general's waist, and her voice was full of shock: "This, how is it possible? The greenery is obviously green, how can it be black now?"

"Besides, something seems to be wrong with Leonardo da Vinci Kyle!"

When Jennifer said this, her voice became low.

Ace hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Jennifer replied, "The last time I saw this elemental cavalry, Da Vinci Kyle's face was still clearly visible. Although his eyes are empty and lifeless, at least his appearance can still be seen. But now, why is there only a layer of black mist on his armor?"

In fact, Ace had noticed this before, but he hadn't paid much attention to it just now.

Seeing the ghost cavalry standing outside the Sunlight Courtyard, everyone panicked.

The leader pulled out the "green" from his waist, only to hear a loud bang, and a sword surrounded by black flames was pulled out of its sheath.

As the Ghost Leader drew his sword, more than 20 other Ghost Cavalry troops followed, one by one pulling out their own weapons.

At the same time, more than 20 ghost cavalry quickly surrounded the Nikko Garden.

However, they seem to be afraid of the light emitted by the fluorite and do not dare venture into the sun-garden.

Ace whispered to Simon, "Pay attention to the sword in Da Vinci Kyle's hand. The black flame on it is very strange. I was almost burned to death by the terrible cold fire just now."

Ace was just talking, but he heard the sound of "Zizi". The ghost general gently slammed his sword to the ground, and a black flame instantly began under his feet and quickly spread to both sides.

Soon, the area around the Nikko Garden was surrounded by terrifying black cold fire, forming a wall of fire around it.

Simon's face suddenly turned cold: "What are they doing? Rush in?"

Ace waved his hand and said, "No, they are standing outside the fluorite and do not dare to approach the light at all, therefore, they should be afraid of the light."

"What makes me even more curious is that they used to be around Terrariath, so why did they suddenly come here today?" Ace pondered.

At this time, Jennifer suddenly covered her ears with her hands and squatted down in pain. She kept shouting, "Ah! Stay back. Stay back. I don't understand what you're talking about. Don't come here!"

Both Ace and Simon looked at Jennifer in surprise.

Simon quickly stepped forward and crouched down. While helping the frightened Jennifer, he anxiously asked, "Jenny

What's wrong with you?"

After shouting for a while, Jennifer gradually regained consciousness and said in a crying voice, "They, they just told me that they want to be resurrected, they don't want to be evil spirits."
