Skeleton King

Gerhard silently exited Duke Green's room.

Nor did Gerhard know whether his actions were right or wrong.What he told Duke Green was only trivial, insignificant things about Master Ace, and Duke Green was the highest-ranked and most talented man he had ever met.At that time, Gerhard thought, what an honor it is to be able to serve the Duke of Green, and how much he envied the knights of the Green family!

But many years later, when Gerhard lost the simplicity and innocence of the country boy, he learned the bloody and cruel struggle of the nobles in the after-dinner chat with the servants of the adults.Gerhard would also think, why is the information he brought to Duke Green worth so many magic potions, and the advice of Duke Green's knights?

But Master Ace and Duke Green are always so good.This became Gerhard's greatest consolation.When he dreamed back at midnight, it became the source of his uneasiness again.

Gerhard was walking in the aisle, and at the end of the corner of the aisle, someone was holding a magic lamp. The magic lamp only illuminated the face of the lamp holder, making the lamp holder look a little eerie, like the old woman in the village of Bad Soden The Lich of the Undead in the story.But Gerhard was relieved that this was someone he knew.

Gerhard: "Butler Bill."

Bill's voice was serious with gentleness, "Why are you still here so late?"

Gerhard's voice was very calm, even when facing Ace's confidant maid Angelica, Gerhard would not be so calm, but Bill, in Gerhard's view, this was just a kind act of Master Ace, taking in a helpless Homeless people.Alas, to be honest, Master Ace is such a nice guy.

Gerhard: "I just sent Master Ace back."

Bill didn't seem suspicious at all, "Go back to sleep early, don't wake up the other owners in the mansion."

Gerhard: "Yes." He backed away.

Bill continued to patrol the mansion with his magic lamp. As the assistant of Kahn, the old butler of the Duke Green's mansion, Bill would patrol the castle every night.Bill was very interested in this familiar yet unfamiliar job.Even the old butler Kahn praised Bill, he would become a very promising butler.If it weren't for Ace who also attached great importance to him, the old butler Kahn would have wanted Bill to stay in the Duke Green's mansion.

Bill had a perfect smile on his face, even if it looked chilling in the completely dark mansion.

Bill came around the corner and stopped in the middle of the aisle.

Bill saluted the person standing in the middle of the aisle, "Duke Green." After Gerhard left, Nou walked out of the door for some reason. At this time, he stood outside the door, looking at Bill calmly, Looking at Bill's curly, artist-like short brown hair, his gentle eyes, and his professional smile.

After Bill bowed, he stood up straight.Over the years, Ace and Nou have grown very fast, and Nou is as tall as Bill.But Bill felt that the biggest change in Nou was not his height, but his aura.

Sharp eyes, powerful momentum.

The smile on Bill's mouth grew even more charming.

Noou's expression was cold, completely different from Bill, "Bill, maybe I should call you Master Mage, an eighth-level wind magician who has been wanted by Magic Island for 40 years. I really don't know, how is my uncle?" Get in touch with you." At the end, Nou's voice was even mocking.

Bill: "I didn't expect Duke Green to remember me."

Nou laughed, but he couldn't hear much happiness or pride. He just laughed at Ace as an idiot, "Ace may think I don't remember. I don't remember a person who imprisoned me, used me as an experiment, and put me on his face. The person who draws the knife, although you have really changed drastically, how can I not remember you. "

Bill's smile deepened, "It's my honor to be remembered by Duke Green."

"The reason why I still keep you in the Duke Green's mansion." Nou took a step forward, which brought him closer to Bill, "I just want to ask you, what you said to me more than four years ago Is it true?"

Did Ace really sacrifice and share his life with Hai Lan's staff?

This time, Nuo Ou did not forget his sword, the sword of judgment inherited from the Green family. After Nuo Ou inherited the title, the sword that once belonged to Nuo Ou's father and grandfather really belonged to him.The Sword of Judgment appeared around Bill's neck, and it just lay there so quietly that the tiny hairs on Bill's neck broke in two.

Bill didn't move, and said, "It's true."

Nou murmured: "Ace can fully use Hai Lan's staff, isn't Ace's strength close to that of a mage? Later, Ace restrained you and signed a master-servant contract with you?"

Bill didn't speak. Although many things happened in the middle, the result was exactly what Nou said.

Nou: "Then Ace, his lifespan?" Will it become just a few years as Bill once said?

This time, Bill answered Nou, "My master, he will live a long life."

With Bill's affirmation, the big stone in Nou's heart was instantly put down.Although Noel knew that Ace was probably fine when he saw Bill in the Port of Nice, he still couldn't completely relax.

Ace dared to bring Bill with him, but he didn't make it clear to Nuoou that Bill must be harmless.

Nothing is a more effective bondage than a magical contract.

In other words, Ace is a magician.

Magicians seldom have dual skills in martial arts, and many people are not keen on power. For magicians, everything in this world is not as good as exploring the mysteries of magic.Because of this, after returning from the port of Nice, Nuo Ou stopped persuading Ace to practice martial arts, and allowed Ace to give up his right to inherit the title.

After meeting the man in black again, the matter of Ace's lifespan still weighs on Nuoou's heart like a big stone.At that time, Nuo Ou was very worried about Ace, and Nuo Ou arranged for Gerhard to stay by Ace's side in case Ace suddenly "disappeared" one day.But now, this arrangement has deviated from the original intention.

Nou once thought that when he became the Duke of Green, he would have more power, and he would find the best magician in the entire continent to help Ace prolong his life.If that doesn't work, he will try his best to break through the Juggernaut and go to the magic island.Nou believes that there is nothing that the people on the magic island cannot achieve.

When he saw Bill in the port of Nice, Nou was angry and funny, but all of them were not as important as Ace's life.

After signing the master-servant contract, if the master dies, the servant will also die. Bill will definitely do his best to rescue Ace.And Bill, according to the information that Nou later investigated, he is the best magic pharmacist on Magic Island.

Nou will only feel happy when he sees Ace wasting his time. The person he loves still has such a long time.

Nuoou put the saber back into its scabbard, "Protect him well, otherwise you will find that there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death."

For this pair of close friends, Bill was completely speechless.Bill remembered that Ace once asked him, "Do you think death is the end?" and Nou threatened him at this moment, "There is something more terrible than death", which is really similar.But both of them are not 12-year-old boys anymore, and Bill really can't imagine that there is anything that can pay a heavier price than his underestimation of the enemy.

When the Sword of Judgment returned to its scabbard, Bill found that Nou's swordsman level was already level seven.Just now, at a moment unknown to everyone, Nuo Ou broke through the biggest bottleneck before the Juggernaut.

Although the difference between the sixth level and the seventh level is only one level, it is the difference between a swordsman and a great swordsman.

No matter where in the mainland, a seventh-level great swordsman is a combat power that cannot be underestimated.Bill finally discovered that apart from his aura, Nuoou's mentality and strength have undergone earth-shaking changes.

However, Bill didn't feel any jealousy towards Nou Green, the winner of life.Because Bill knows better than many people that Nuoou has not been easy along the way. Wasn't he himself an insurmountable obstacle in Nuoou's life?

Moreover, according to Bill's observation of his master and Noel Green for a long time, a very vague guess in Bill's mind became clearer and clearer, a guess that would definitely surprise his master and never thought of it.

Life is like a play.

Bill hadn't felt this kind of joy in a long time.He witnessed the opening of the scene, and he was looking forward to the end of the scene.

"Yes, Duke Green." Bill bowed.He will take good care of his master and watch their future.

Bill: "May you be the mightiest knight in the world, may you have the greatest power in the world." May your deepest desires never come true.

……

The sun shone lazily on the bed.

Ace Silly White Sweet Neumann sat up from the bed, stretched his waist, and opened his eyes in a daze, "I haven't slept like this for a long time."

Ace told Bill so.

Most magicians wish they could spend every second meditating, and sleeping is a luxury for them.

Since Bill came, it is usually Bill who wakes up Ace instead of Angelica.

Bill's pale fingers swiped twice, and the warm towel floated into the air, automatically wiping Ace's cheeks, and beside him, toothbrushes and tooth cups also flew around Ace, as if they couldn't wait to use them.

This is so convenient, Ace mused to himself.

However, Ace will definitely not admit that this is an important reason why he put Angelika out of work.But to be honest, Ace is a little reluctant to let Bill go back to the dead world. With Bill by his side, many things are much more convenient.But letting the Lich do this is a bit overkill.

However, according to General Arnold, it would be better for Bill to be kept in the laboratory to make star potions for Ace and Eternal Night City.General Arnold said that although the master-servant contract guarantees that Bill will not betray Ace, many things are between critical betrayal and loyalty.

But Ace felt that he was the one who signed the master-servant contract with Bill, and Bill was under his nose, so he couldn't make trouble.

After washing up, Ace asked Bill about today's schedule.Ace muttered, "It's still not free in the imperial capital. When Nuoou returns to the fiefdom, it would be great if I could go together." Nuoou can't stay in the imperial capital forever, he always has to return to the eastern plains of the Louisiana province.

Bill had a gentle and harmless smile, "In the morning, young master, you received a letter."
