After the vague encounter at the cliff, Ace didn't dare to let his guard down and headed deep within the black mountains.
However, after three days, he concluded that no one was overseeing this area because he hadn't encountered anyone, not even beasts. All he could see were chains of black mountains.
If his fate map weren't dyed in red, he would've believed that this place was dangerous at all.
On this day, Freya contacted him as he was resting in a well-hidden mountain cave.
"Leader Ace!" Frey's somewhat respectful voice rang in Ace's mind.
Ace felt he had heard wrong since this woman would rather tease him than show respect.
Nevertheless, he sent his consciousness into Frey's private space in Thief's House.
Her space had been converted into a half library and half rune crafter lab by her. Those books and equipment were naturally given to her by Ace.
