Vol 5 Chapter 5: corner

The voice of the old leader stopped abruptly, and he and Ace looked at each other with a bad look.
Ace followed the source of the sound and circulated the power of the heart and fire between his eyes and ears, and found the strangeness. It turned out that at some point, a short and chubby man had already walked here.
Doyle and the others just turned around to look, they felt a cold neck, they saw their own body, and then gradually fell into darkness, and their thinking stopped.
Ace condensed in his eyes because of the power of heart and fire, and saw that the other party used a very thin metal wire to easily cut off the heads of the three Doyles, and couldn't help but feel both shocked and angry.
He has lived with Doyle and others for nearly two years. Doyle is very concerned about himself. Now that he died like this, he couldn't help being angry.
With this anger, Ace felt as if he couldn't control himself, the blue blood all over his body was boiling, and he seemed to see a giant in the dark.
In an extremely short period of time, Ace felt as if he had lost his sanity, unable to control himself, and only felt that his brain was congested.
In the eyes of the old leader, Ace suddenly burned with blue flames, and the aura of the whole person quickly rose. Ace's eyes were like beasts, and his mouth roared.
"Broken, unexpectedly lost control after the bloodline returned to the ancestors!"
The old leader jumped to the side in a hurry, and Ace, who was already enveloped in blue flames, knocked the old leader into the air with a punch, hit the wall, and slowly fell.
The sound of breaking through the air was extremely sharp, and the short and fat man controlled the metal wire and approached Ace with extremely fast speed.
Ace roared, seeming to be able to see through the opponent's movements, avoiding extremely dexterously, and rushing towards the short fat man.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the short and fat man clasped his fists and clicked, his arms were incredibly bent and inserted into his chest.
The short fat man couldn't believe it, and said in the language of the people on the ground: "My line king Nouvel can actually..."
Before he could speak, Ace, who was out of control, squeezed his head, and could no longer speak.
Ace felt dark in front of him, and he was unconscious.
...
The ticking sound of water made Ace feel a little thirsty. He opened his tired eyelids vigorously and found that the old leader was wiping his forehead with a coarse cloth dipped in water.
Seeing Ace opened his eyes, the old man grinned. It didn't matter that he smiled, and he vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
Ace struggled to get up and helped the old man to ask, "I seem to be filled with anger, and then I don't remember anything. What happened in the end? Your injury?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "The dwarf we met was an accomplice of the monsters. He hurt me, and then you lost control and killed him. I will die soon. I need to tell you a few things."
Ace looked at the old man seriously, he also wanted to know something.
The old man gasped and said: "First, we are the only one left in the Field family, and everyone else was killed by the dwarf. This sewer is not safe. You must go to the ground to hide.
Second, I am about to die. This crest and sheepskin scroll are our family's tokens, and they are passed to you..."
The old man seemed to have something to say, but he still didn't say it, his eyes were round and he died like this.
Ace held the old man speechless for a long time, he carefully checked the old man's injuries, and finally dug a hole to bury the old man and everyone in the Field family.
"You are really a gentle leader. I was obviously hurt by me, but it was a short fat man..."
The old man's chest had obvious burning, which was caused by Ace's blue heart. Ace was not stupid. He saw that the injury was caused by his heart.
Ace bowed deeply to the small pit where everyone was buried, and said softly, "Thank the Field family for two years of care. Since I have used my body, I will also carry your expectations."
After speaking, he turned and left here, focusing on his eyes and ears, carefully sensing the surrounding situation, and leaving here along the sewer well.
Ace came to the ground many times. Although he did not understand the language of the ground, he already had some understanding of the situation on the ground. The basic terrain is clear about where there are many people and where there are few people.
"Although the so-called blue blood is awakened, once the sun shines on the body, it still feels like being burned by fire."
Soon after climbing to the ground, the sun began to rise, and Ace was leaning on the garbage dump, all dirty and smelly, wearing a piece of dirty cloth at random, just to find a shadow place.
After a while, a few more beggars also came to this place. They were taken aback when they saw Ace, and then became furious, saying something to Ace at extremely fast speed.
Ace didn’t care, and pretended to be a little frightened. He stepped back and lured a few beggars into the alley. A wailing sound sounded in the alley. After a few minutes, the beggars followed Ace with swollen noses. come out.
This is also Ace's first plan. Since he doesn't speak the language and has no identity, it's better to mix in with the beggar. Although it is a bit dirty, it is actually a good choice to be able to learn the language and walk around to understand the situation.
After igniting the fire, as long as Ace’s skin is not directly exposed to the sun, it will not blisters like a burn. While controlling these beggars with violence, he learns the language of the people on the ground while lying at night. Then try to achieve mental overclocking.
Unfortunately, this body does not seem to have any magical qualifications, and he has no way of mentally overclocking now.
"It's not that there is no way. As long as I am promoted to the first level of life and achieve complete transcendence, not only will my vitality and lifespan be greatly improved, but also my spiritual power will be greatly improved, and then I can turn to the path of magic. Some, but there is always a way."
When he opened his eyes, the stars were shining, and a few beggars shivered in hiding not far from him.
A few of them also tried to escape, but they were caught by Ace and beaten up every time. After several times, they didn't dare to run again.
At first they were extremely angry, but later they met other beggars and found that Ace was very brave. Their group of beggars defeated all the beggars nearby, occupied the best begging position, and gradually accepted the current life.
Ace smiled gently at them. It has been nearly two months since he has a basic understanding of the local language and customs, so leave tomorrow.
"Are you afraid of me."
Several beggars couldn't help being shocked when they heard Ace talking. Ace hadn't spoken in the past two months. He usually likes to wrap himself tightly with a dirty cloth. Everyone thought he was a dumb man, but he didn't expect to speak.
A beggar boldly said: "I'm afraid, but you can beat other beggars, I'm convinced."
The other beggars also followed up and talked and were convinced, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a while.
The corners of Ace's mouth rose slightly, and he touched the head of one of the beggars. Then he found his place and lay down. The beggars looked at each other, but when they saw Ace was asleep, they stopped talking and gradually snored.
When the sun fell, the beggars realized that Ace had disappeared.
Ace has changed his clothes. In the past few months, he robbed some copper coins and silver coins from other beggars through violence. He took a bath early in the morning, bought cheap and clean clothes, sheepskin boots, and put on a Black cloak.
This outfit basically allowed Ace to spend most of his money, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he wandered around in various taverns, listening to the noise and talk of people.
Pubs and brothels are the places with the most unblocked news. There are all three religions, and the world is no exception.
Ace silently ordered a bottle of barley wine every day, a pile of Grudou, and he could eat the wine for a day.
He met an old man in a tavern, bragging as long as he had wine, and learned a lot about the city and history from the old man.
The name of this city is Bernada, which means "Hope City". Bernada is the capital of the Kingdom of Hill. It is said that the great light came thousands of years ago and expelled the blue blood devil. The glorious knights under the light This together with the priests established the Holy Light Religious State.
It's just that time flies, and the unified Holy Light State is gradually torn apart, and the Holy Spirit that once manifested frequently no longer appears. If the Holy Light still exists, I am afraid that everyone's faith will be shaken.
One hundred years ago, there was a rebellion in the Knights Templar. The Templars headed by Hill declared that the Pope was a blue blood devil. After a civil war, the Pope disappeared, and Bernada was also removed from the Holy Light. The capital of the Holy Land became the capital of the Kingdom of Hill.
At present, all countries are promoting "religion according to the country", that is, everyone believes in the holy light, but some religious interpretation power must be derived from the "Sacred Code". The royal family has the right to interpret the "Sacred Code" and has the right to appoint the archbishop of the kingdom.
Today, Ace is again inviting the old man to drink barley, and softly asks the old man about the news he has heard in the past few days.
"Father Ha Jin, I am now shy in my pocket, and I have nothing good at it. I want to be a mercenary with others. I don't know if it will work."
Ha Jin took a sip of wine and burped, "I think your kid is tired of life. Can mercenaries be something you can do? Do you really think the Mercenary Association is a playhouse? You register a low-level mercenary? No problem, as long as you have an identity certificate, but do you know how many young people die on this road, and if they have no money, they will honestly find a job.
Bernada is so big, even if you go to the wharf to move goods, you will never die of starvation. If you work harder, you can endure hardships. Daddy, I will introduce you to the carpenter’s shop as an apprentice. , To be a serious craftsman. "
Ace seemed to hesitate for a while, turned off the topic and chatted with Harkin about the latest news in Bernada City.
Ha Jin shook his head. Since the young man on the opposite side did not want to, he did not force it. Now he said: "Bernada City has new things every day and nothing new every day, because there is nothing new under the Holy Light."
Ha Jin nagged and talked about it, and finally said: "There are two interesting things recently. One is the death of the old king, and the selection of the king is about to begin."
Ace asked somewhat puzzledly: "What is the king's election?"
Father Ha Jin couldn’t help but complain:
You countryman, you don’t even know about Wang Xuan. To talk about Wang Xuan, we must start with the birth of our Hill Kingdom. Our kingdom is different from other kingdoms. Our king is not hereditary. Come, but selected by the Holy Light.
Regardless of origin and age, when the old king dies, every member of the Hill Kingdom is qualified to touch the king stone. As long as the stone shines, you can go to the royal city of Bernada and participate in the king's election war! "
Ace was even more dizzy when he heard it, and he couldn't help asking: "What is the king's election war?"
Ha Jin didn't answer, he shook the empty barley glass and raised his eyebrows at Ace.
Ace took out the only silver coin and said, "This is my last property. Daddy, tell me everything."
Ha Jin exchanged two bottles of barley wine and stuffed Ace with the remaining copper coins, saying, "These are enough for you to eat for a day. Tomorrow, go to the dock to carry the goods for a few days and earn some hard money. Then I will tell you what is the king's election war.
The so-called king is a person with a ‘crown on his head and a people’s body’, who has both rights and responsibilities.
When King Hill was dying, it was heard that he was called by the Holy Light to not pass the throne to his heirs. Instead, he decided to choose the king.
Anyone who can make the king stone shine can enter the royal city. They will enter the palace and pray for the holy sword.
As long as they can get the gift of the holy sword, a mark of the burning holy sword will appear on the back of their left hand. The reporter who obtains the seal is the candidate of the king's election war. They will fight cruelly in the king city, and the winner will be crowned king! "
Ace wanted to ask again, but the old man stopped answering, so he had to persuade him to drink.
After persuading for a while, Ha Jin said again: "There is another news. I heard that a particularly unruly vitality organization has recently entered in the old street in the south of the city. It seems to be called the Maien Gang. The barbarians from the north have caused many murders. , You have nothing to run over there recently. There is not even a guard in that place, a purely dark place, a kid like you, I’m afraid there will be no scum!
If you really want to be a mercenary, dad, I have drunk so much of your alcohol, and I am not too embarrassed not to help you.
Five days later, when you come to the tavern after dark, I will introduce a reliable mercenary captain to you, but if they can match you, I won’t count it~EbookFREE.me~ Ace quickly thanks , Took a few more sips of Hajin's wine, watched him fall asleep on the table, put on his cloak, turned and left the tavern.
"Is it the old street in the south of the city? If it is a place of pure darkness, I would not be afraid. The more amalgamation of fish and dragons, the more suitable for the survival of the blue blood devil, right?"
With inexplicable tinyness, Ace walked lightly to the south of the city. He was as agile as a cat. He jumped on the roof in a few steps, stepped on the tiles and jumped seven or eight meters, and flew to the old streets of the south of the city. .
The Old Street is the filthy place of Bernada. It is full of violence and crime without any concealment. A large number of poor people with nowhere to go are exploited by vital organizations.
Ace was standing on a roof, overlooking below. Several vitality organization members surrounded a young man who did not seem to be wealthy and had fallen in a pool of blood. Ace turned the power of heart and fire to his eyes and ears, and he saw that the young man had been hit by five or six knives in the abdomen.
Those vitality members kicked the young man hard, and said angrily: "It turned out to be a poor ghost. I thought he was holding a bag of good things. It turned out to be some weeds. Damn, I knew I shouldn't kill it. If you lose him, he should be taken back and sold as a slave."
