Ace was still worried.

Next, Ace began to experiment with various forging materials, from jade, gold, and silver, to elemental magic stones, to various rare forging materials.

Finally, he found that rare forging materials have the most obvious effect on the restriction of space elements, and they are relatively stable.

Despite the fact that the various elemental philosophers fuse with the spatial elements at the fastest speed, they are not stable and often explode.

Therefore, Ace finally decided to mass-produce storage vehicles using rare forging materials.

However, Ace didn't carry much forging material this time, so he could only make seven or eight carrying boxes for the time being.

When Carla took the empty boxes, she couldn't help but smile, "I knew you'd make it!" You have always kept your promises and never broken your promises."

Ace also smiled and said, "It's good to live up to your expectations. Otherwise, my image in your heart will be completely ruined."

Seeing Ace's smile, Kara blushed and said shyly, "How did you become so flamboyant now?"

Ace awkwardly touched his head and said, "I've been with a bunch of tough guys all day. Almost never dealing with women. I'm used to it."

Kara glared at him, "Okay, if you don't want to learn, just learn this?"

Ace smiled dryly, and then quickly changed the subject: "This time, I don't have a lot of forging materials on me, so I can only do these temporarily, and it should be enough in the short term. I estimate that each box should be able to hold four or five cubic meters of items."

Carla nodded, "In the future, we will contact more and more tribes, and these storage tools are not enough."

Ace gently squeezed Kara's arm and said, "Don't worry, I can make enough storage tools."

At this point, Ace said, "But then again, we can sell these tools to the herders of the subhuman tribes, who experience drought every once in a while. If they can use these tools to store water and food, it will definitely be attractive to them, and they will definitely be willing to exchange a lot of horses and livestock!"

Kara pointed to the crowd behind her and said, "Are they the same?"

Ace waved his hand and said, "They're different! This time, the subhuman tribe has made a huge contribution to the completion of the trading plan, so we can make some storage tools for them for free!"

Kara nodded and said, "I agree! In the future, we may make the subhuman tribe the core area of our trade, and all the surrounding tribes can come and trade here! In this way, we can gradually form a relatively fixed trading center."

In fact, once these tribes had storage tools, they could use them to store enough food and water to be able to cope with the drought calmly.

Once everything is basically in place, Ace plans to leave here with the little boy Arthur and return to the dwarven kingdom.

At the same time, Kara also leads the Slime family's team to the east.

Before leaving, Ace deliberately let Demacia stay in the subhuman tribe. He feared that scouts sent from New Delhi would come and cause trouble when he left.

In Ace's opinion, Demacia's strength is no less than that of a general, so Ace is still very relaxed.

At this point, he will return to the Dwarven kingdom in search of rare forging materials to craft more vessels.

When Arthur also needed a shelter, Ace took him away.

But just after Ace leaves the wolves, he is stopped by two masked men.

Ace felt that both of them were eighth-level dark magicians, and their strength was not bad.

"Are you from the capital?" Ace asked coldly.

The two men shook their heads. One of them said, "We're here to send you a letter from your boss."

Ace was confused, he didn't know who the leader of the two men was, and he didn't know why a letter had been sent to him.

One of the masked men walked up to Ace and handed him a letter.

Then the two disappeared very quickly.

Before Ace opened the letter, he had already guessed that it was supposed to be related to Thorn Rose. Otherwise, why are there two dark magicians

To deliver a letter?

Opening the letterhead and seeing the familiar handwriting, Ace knew his guess was correct.

Because that's Alice's handwriting.

After reading the letter, Ace's eyes flashed with a twinkle.

Only then did he learn that neither Alice nor Lone Wolf had given up on their plans to "rebuild the Thorn Rose".

Today, with the support of the Slime family, they are gathering strength to recruit new members of the Thorn Rose.

In return, they need to do something for the Slime family, gather intelligence, kill spies, and more.

In the letter, Alice mentions that he hopes Ace will return to Yalijiang Province to help them restore the Thorn Rose to its former glory.

Ace couldn't help but smile wryly. How could he possibly go back now? Now, in the eyes of everyone in New Delhi, he is just a traitor who betrayed the Empire, a sinner who destroyed the capital of the Empire!

The Monchi family, their name in the empire of New Delhi, has always been difficult to shake off. What's more, the new king had people constantly propagate the crimes of the Monchi family, which made the entire New Delhi empire hate Ace and his father.

In this case, how can Ace go back? By the time he left the New Delhi Empire, he had severed all nostalgia and vowed never to have any connection with it for the rest of his life.

Therefore, he will no longer be a citizen of the New Delhi Empire in this life, because this empire has made Ace very disappointed and desperate!

In Ace's opinion, the current New Delhi Empire is like a big tree that has rotted. Only when the great tree falls and new saplings grow can the empire be saved.

But apparently, this is not the case at the moment.

Ace sighed and muttered to himself, "Go back? That's impossible! However, based on the current situation, it seems that the conflict between the Imperial City and the Yali River is gradually intensifying, and the battlefield is slowly moving westward, so I can consider building an information network here! It seems that in the near future, this prairie, which was originally far away from right and wrong, will gradually lose its original peace! 「

Ace was a little worried.

However, since the savannah has begun to establish contact with the outside world, it is inevitable that there will be some right and wrong involved.

The ancients said: "There are gains and there are losses".

Upon Ace's return to the Dwarven Kingdom, he immediately began collecting various forging materials and researched how to forge more complex storage utensils with his teacher, Ari Stark.

Arthur arrived in such a magical and wonderful country, full of joy and curiosity, and soon became one with Klin.

Arthur was also curious about a cute little goblin like Klin.

Ace's father, Monchi D-Kamikaze, is also very fond of this subhuman boy. He almost treats him as his own son and always takes him to the dwarven kingdom to play.

At a large blacksmith shop in Dwarven City, Ace and Stark discuss the dos and don'ts when blacksmithing.

"Teacher, at the moment, the hundred satin stone is the best material. Not only does it have stable control over time and space elements, but it also doesn't come at a high price. It's best for manufacturing storage devices." Ace said, holding a piece of metal dotted with white dots.

Stark didn't rush to refute, but kept looking for other forging materials on the table.

After a long time, Stark said, "Although the price of a hundred satin stones is not high, the average person cannot afford it. Considering the cost, maybe we can find a more suitable material."

"What does the teacher mean that storage devices can be a daily tool for everyone?" Ace asked.

Stark nodded, "You know, our Dwarven Kingdom, as the most respected forging kingdom in the Mandala Continent, has been plagued by a problem. That is the storage of all kinds of forging materials! If there is a large number of storage devices, it will be of great help to every forge factory."

Ace shook his head helplessly, "However, it seems that very few people can control the spatial element. Even as a dark mage, I can barely control it, let alone use it completely."

"If I forge more than ten storage devices at a time will be the limit, it will require a lot of mental power. As a result, large-scale manufacturing of storage is unlikely at this time

Ready!"

Stark apologized for this. After all, storage is very important for dwarves. Now, there are five large warehouses in the Dwarven Kingdom, which are dedicated to storing various forging materials, especially taking up space.

Every year, the armor and weapons forged by the dwarven forgers are gradually eroded because they cannot be stored effectively, resulting in a huge waste.

It would be much better if every blacksmith could have a storage device.

Ace looked at the forging materials in his hand and suddenly felt a little strange.

He looked up and saw that his teacher, Ari Stark, was now carefully examining a relatively inexpensive piece of earth spirit stone, but still not moving.

Stark seemed to be watching intently, but Ace seemed to see that his eyes were a little glazed. It felt very unnatural.

Ace hurriedly looked around and found that some of the coolant not far from him was actually stuck in the air and remained unchanged.

He was confused, as if everything around him seemed to stand still, but he was still able to move freely.

"What's going on?" Ace was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.

At this time, he accidentally touched a wooden board on the table. The plank was taken from the table, but it was suspended in mid-air, but did not fall immediately.

Just as Ace was about to put the tongs back in place, everything around him suddenly returned to normal. The black iron fell all at once. Ace misses it and falls on Stark's foot.

"Ouch, you stinky boy, can't you be careful?" Stark lifted his kicked and shouted to Ace.

Ace stood dumbfounded.

Stark inhaled a breath of cold air, noticing Ace's anomaly, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Ace lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and did not answer.

Stark nudged him. "Are you deaf, man?"

At this time, Ace woke up completely and looked at Stark blankly: "Teacher, I didn't mean to do it just now, just now, just now......

Ace wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to describe what he was seeing.

Stark put the Earth Spirit Stone back and clapped his hands, "Alright, you're tired enough today, hurry back and get some rest." It's late today, so I'll be back early."

With that, Stark turned and walked out of the smithy, quickly disappearing from Ace's vision.

"At that moment, time seemed to stop?" Ace said to himself.

In fact, what he had just experienced did not seem real. The world is static, but only he can move freely.

"Is this another form of space magic?" Ace was unsure.

However, after careful consideration, Ace finally came up with the reason.

It was supposed to be time magic, time stood still.

The forging of the vessel is mainly to use the magic of space, and the process that Ace has just gone through is the effect of time magic.

Team Ace was very surprised by this.

Imagine what the effect would be if he could use both of these spells in the future against powerful enemies.

Not only does it trap the other person in emptiness, but it also makes time stand still. You can also take advantage of this short period of time to stagnate, rush in front of your opponent, and give him a fatal blow.

At this point, the magic of time and space doesn't seem to cause much damage, but its auxiliary effects are terrifying.

"Right now, my mastery of space magic is far from enough. In the future, when I truly master this magic, maybe my strength can be further improved!" Ace secretly guessed, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

By the time he left the blacksmith's shop, it was late. Looking at the pitch-black sky, Ace couldn't help but think, "It's too late! Sure enough, if you focus on what you like, it seems like time will pass quickly."

Ace spoke as he walked into the night.

Shortly after he left the blacksmith's shop, a gust of wind blew. On the leaves of a large tree outside the door, countless droplets of water condensed by night dew fell.

But when the droplets are about to fall, the sky is in the sky

There hangs a curtain of rain formed by water droplets all over the sky.

It was a long time before the water curtain fell to the ground. Unfortunately, Ace couldn't see it.

Within three days, through Ace's efforts, he finally created more than 100 storage devices.

He took out 30 of them and gave them to his teacher, Ari Stark. His father and the dwarven king also got one of them. As for the rest, Ace plans to send them to the Slime family. After all, the coming trade requires the transportation of large quantities of materials.

As trade routes gradually take shape, more subhuman tribes will gradually join the trade relationship, thus providing more and more goods.

As a result, these storage devices are only going to become more scarce.

After all this, Ace is also ready to take a break. After all, he used the space element to forge it, which cost him a lot of mental power. Even if he recovers quickly, he gets tired.

Ace has indeed been through a lot of things in the past period. It's time to calm down and think about his next direction.

Since he obtained the Codex and the Space Bracelet, he saved the Ghost Cavalry, and then went to the prairie to save the little boy Arthur and help him eradicate the demons in his body.

Later, the key to the underworld was used to open the door to the underworld. After experiencing three floors of the underground palace, he observed the process of "creation" and observed the world from a different perspective!

Eventually, he got a lot of treasures and returned to the steppe to start facilitating trade for the steppe tribes.

So far, he has mastered the magic of space to create utensils.

What has happened in the last two months has been truly astonishing. It's hard to predict.

Now, just after midsummer, the dwarven mountains of early autumn have turned from green to gold.

Standing on the high platform of the Dwarven Kingdom, this endless stretch of golden mountain range is spectacular.

Suddenly, a strong autumn wind blew, setting off golden waves on the surrounding mountains. The leaves rustle like a beautiful melody.

In the autumn wind, countless fallen leaves are blown into the air. They fluttered in the wind for a while, and then slowly fell, like a golden autumn rain.

Feeling the cool autumn breeze blowing on his face, Ace was completely relaxed at this time and enjoyed this rare leisure.

At this time, a familiar figure appeared at the staircase of the high platform, tall and handsome.

This is his father, Monchi-D-Kamikaze.

Since they came here a few months ago, father and son have rarely talked openly, mainly because Ace has so much to do.

Seeing his father slowly walking towards him, Ace smiled and asked, "Where are those two little ones?"

Kamikaze smiled and replied, "I gave them to Sumeru and asked him to take them around."

Ace was dumbfounded. He could scarcely imagine what a fun picture it would be to see a dwarven king playing with two children.

Father and son stood side by side, looking out over the dwarven mountains in early autumn. They were silent and did not speak.

How long did it take Ace to break this situation first: "Father, do you think you have a chance to return to the top?"

Kamikaze was clearly unprepared for this unexpected question. He squinted at Ace and didn't rush to answer.

Ace continued, "I know that after you went through that war, there were some subtle changes in your body. It doesn't look like it's in peak condition anymore. I've been speculating about the change, but I'm not sure."

Kamikaze paused and sighed, "Looks like you can see it too. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried, because this is the first time I've been in a situation like this."

"Actually, I didn't pay much attention at first. I thought it was just that I didn't reach the real top and wasn't immersed in a life-and-death situation, so my stamina would drop. But I quickly ruled it out."

"Because without your knowledge, I went to the depths of the Dwarven Mountains and found a catastrophic level longevity turtle. I want to return to the peak of my strength by fighting it again!"

Hearing this, Ace felt

Astound. The Manshou Turtle is a very dangerous monster. It is said that its defenses are so strong that there are very few weapons in the world that can break through its shell.

The two biggest characteristics of this monster are: first, its body is so huge that almost only the Titans can compare to it; Second, its power is so great that a simple impact can destroy a mountain.

It is very dangerous to fight such monsters.

"In the end, did you kill it?" Ace couldn't help but ask about the results.

Kamikaze smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, I find myself unable to fight at all. In the end, I had to find a chance to escape."

"What!" Ace was shocked. You know, although the Longevity Turtle is dangerous, his father is also the strength of the Templars, which is no worse than the Longevity Turtle!

After hard work, its strength should surpass that of the longevity turtle. So under normal circumstances, the father should be able to successfully kill this longevity turtle.

Hearing the kamikaze continue, "When I arrived at that, I realized that my strength was not as strong as it used to be, and there were signs of further decline."

"How is this possible?" Ace looked incredulous.

Although he expected his father's strength to decline, there was always a limit, and it was impossible for him to continue to decline like this.

Kamikaze's eyes were full of helplessness: "I also tried to change this phenomenon, but after a long period of hard work, nothing worked. I had no choice but to accept this fact."

Ace asked in a low voice, "What is the reason?"

Kamikaze replied uncertainly, "Maybe it's because that war overdrew me too much, or maybe it's because I borrowed a force that wasn't my own, causing a backlash when I finally killed Miles."

Ace fell into deep thought. He heard Ciro mention that his father was at his peak close to the power of "God". If he can take this opportunity to make further progress, he may become a Hades-like existence of Hades.

Unfortunately, the peak time was too short. It only lasted for a short while, and then it was gone!

Ace can't solve his father's declining problems, so he has to go with the flow.

After all, Ace has always believed that it is not advisable to rely on external forces to increase his strength.

Some people will borrow a lot of alchemical drugs to quickly build up their stamina. Although their strength will increase rapidly in the short term, their foundation will be unstable. The later you are promoted, the more difficult it becomes.

Therefore, although Ace's current alchemy has had little effect, he still does not choose to refine medicine for his father because he is worried that there will be hidden dangers in the future.

Whether his father can return to the top is up to him, not on external forces.

"Father, have you completely abandoned the intelligence network you once established in New Delhi?" Ace asked.

Kamikaze turned to look at his son. "Why do you ask?"

He was quick to add: "To be honest, the net is not completely paralyzed, and there are still a few key people left. At the moment, they remain on the edge, which may be useful in the future. Of course, they may also die of old age in their respective positions, something that I will never know except me."

At this moment, Kamikaze's face suddenly became serious: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Ace's robe flew in the wind. "I might borrow those people, okay?"

Kamikaze frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, your Thorn Rose should be disbanded. Why do you suddenly want to build an intelligence network again?"

Ace took a deep breath, "Actually, I've been worried that the Imperial City won't give up on chasing us. You know, the new king is a hard stubble. Our presence has always been a potential threat to him. While we knew we wouldn't do that, he probably wouldn't."

The kamikaze was calm, without a ripple: "Do you want to protect yourself or take the initiative?"

Ace smiled bitterly and shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know. No one knows what they're going to do there, but it's always good to be prepared!"
