Skeleton King

Ace tested his magical talents in Skeletron's tomb, where water elementals are too scarce.The result of Ace's test was that the affinity for the water element was at full level, but there was no abnormal phenomenon. Neither Ace nor Daniel took it to heart.Ace didn't understand it at all. Although Daniel knew some undead magic, he didn't have any orthodox magic learning, and he didn't know a lot of common sense.

Ace and Daniel didn't know that the vision did not appear in the tomb of the Skeleton King, nor in the sea near the village of Netherlands, but appeared near the magic island thousands of miles away.

However, even if Ace and Daniel knew it, there was nothing they could do. They couldn't hide in the Skeleton King's tomb all the time.As long as Ace reaches that stage of strength, he will meet people from Magic Island sooner or later.

Daniel took Ace to the library of the Skeleton King—a very, very, very large library, probably because the Skeleton King and the undead can fly. The bookshelves here are fifteen feet high. Ace looked up and couldn't see the title of the book on the top shelf, and there were so many bookshelves here that he couldn't see the end at a glance.

Ace smiled, and he thought of the library he traveled through, which was nothing compared to this place.

Daniel scratched the bookshelf casually, "Look for yourself."

Ace couldn't believe it: "I'll see for myself?! Isn't there a necromancer's handbook to guide beginners??"

Daniel: "I have already said that the Skeleton King decided to leave this place for a newcomer just on a whim. He has no ambition to pass on the magic of the undead. And 1/10 of the books here are written by the Skeleton King himself. His erudition is beyond your imagination, if you can understand it thoroughly, it will be almost the same as teaching him personally."

Ace: "A person can't read 1/100 of the books here in his whole life."

Daniel: "As long as you keep advancing, your life is unlimited."

Ace wanted to ask Daniel for help, "Daniel, you are the steward of the Skeleton King's Palace, would you like to help me?"

Daniel said: "I just passed another test about the undead and was appointed as the steward of the Skeleton King in the palace of the dead. But I still don't have the strength to open the gate of the dead. This position is just useless. Even if the gate of the dead Open it, this is a separate space for the living world and the dead world, and it is not under my control."

Ace was helpless. He saw that Daniel was not very willing to help, so he had to use his trump card, "But only if I become a magic apprentice, can I go out quickly and take you to see Stephanie."

Daniel muttered: "On the way to the library, I was thinking that it is impossible for you to become a magic apprentice within a year, so..."

Ace had to interrupt him, "I'm a quick learner, and I don't intend to stay here for too long."

Regardless of whether it was the previous life or the current life, Ace's brain is very good, not to mention the memory, but the memory is much better than the average person.As for his savvy, Ace only hopes that his savvy on the swordsman can bring a little to magic.

Ace didn't know at first that he needed to become a magic apprentice to leave Skeleton King's tomb, and he preferred to go back before sunrise so that no one would find out that he was missing.But if he can't go back for a few years, Ace will have to consider other ways to survive.

Ace stares stubbornly at Daniel, his green eyes meeting his blue eyes.

Daniel sighed in his heart, and the sighs after his death were not as much as today.

Daniel: "Well, I also know a little about the practice of necromancers, and I can teach you as much as I can. However, as long as you pretend to understand when you don't understand or I find out that you don't study hard, I will never I'll take care of you."

"No problem!" Ace said, "Thank you, Daniel!"

Daniel walked around the Skeleton King's library a few times, and found a thick book with a black cover for Ace, "This book is divided into ten chapters, you should read Chapter 1 and Chapter 3 first. "

Ace weighed the weight of the book and said decisively, "I can't read!"

Even though Daniel looked at Ace with mentally retarded eyes, Ace didn't change his words, "I really can't read. You said, don't pretend to understand."

Daniel looked at the eight or nine-year-old child in front of him, barely restraining his urge to hit someone, "If you can't read, you will never become a magic apprentice."

Ace looked at Daniel with pitiful eyes like a puppy, and there were still inferiority complexes, fragile self-esteem, and other very complicated emotions hidden in his eyes.

Daniel thought, Ace really has a pair of eyes that can talk. He is obviously not such a caring person, so he surrendered and said, "Then I will read it to you."

In a quarter of an hour, maybe not even a quarter of an hour.

Daniel slammed the book shut. He was a little impatient, but he still asked patiently: "What is the difference between the magic elements in the dead world and those in the magic continent?"

Ace: "The magic elements on the Magic Continent have light attributes, while the magic elements in the dead world have dark attributes. Therefore, unless a necromancer is practicing in the dead world, he must find magic elements with dark attributes for meditation.

Therefore, undead magic and other magic are two completely different systems. No matter how high the level of the necromancer is, he cannot use magic of other attributes.If a person absorbs the magic element of the dark attribute first, he can no longer absorb the magic element of the light attribute.Otherwise, the two elements will use the magician's body as a battlefield, and they will devour each other until the magician's body is abolished or dead. "

Daniel nodded, "I mentioned just now that there is a kind of flower that is very important to necromancers. What kind of flower is it? Why?"

Ace: "Ghostface flowers. Because the more dark magic elements there are in a place, the more luxuriant the ghostface flowers bloom. When low-level necromancers can't judge whether a place is rich in dark magic elements, it's right to follow the ghost face flowers."

"But you have to be careful. The Finger Empire once deliberately planted a large area of ​​grimace flowers in some remote places, and waited for a while to catch many necromancers. However." Daniel sneered twice, and continued: "Senior necromancers don't know how to go. After this trick, they were killed several times by the necromancers, and they finally learned how to behave and no longer use this trick. However, this has happened for hundreds of years, and it is not known whether there are still necromancers alive outside."

Ace nodded, indicating that he remembered.

Ace did learn things quickly as he said, but Daniel was not satisfied. He said, "You learned very well. But this is a waste of time. I need to find information about ghost babies."

Ace also put his hand on the book cover, and he didn't intend to open the book again, "We don't need to let me master all the knowledge that a magic apprentice should master. I can practice meditation first and learn spells."

Daniel: "Don't rush for quick success."

Ace: "There are people waiting for me outside. I haven't disappeared for a night now, and I may get away with it. As for you, Daniel, don't you want to see Stephanie sooner?"

Daniel frowned, and said, "Even if I can tell you how to meditate, you may not be able to learn it immediately."

Ace: "Trust me, Daniel."

……

If ordinary people are in the three-dimensional space, then magicians must be in the fifth-dimensional space. They can see what ordinary people cannot see in their entire lives—the essence of the world.The world of Ace's previous life was composed of various chemical elements, but this world is composed of magical elements.

Wind, fire, water, and earth, these four basic elements are arranged and combined to build this world together.

Ace could perceive these elements as small dots of light slowly entering his body. At first they resisted, but after more and more small light dots in Ace's body, the small light dots around him changed from His hair, cheeks, arms... shot into his body one after another.

This is a very long process, and Ace can't even feel the hunger of his body. He watched all the magic elements continue to disperse and form various shapes, as if watching the birth and death of small universes.

Gradually, some magic power was stored in Ace's body, even if he was not in a state of meditation, he could simply manipulate the magic elements around him.

This is the sign of becoming a magic apprentice.

When Ace woke up, a thin layer of ash had accumulated on his shoulders.

Ace was a little uneasy, "How long has it been?"

Daniel looked at Ace with a strange expression, and said, "Less than four months."

Ace's face turned pale. It's been so long, Viscount Neumann and the others don't know if they are still in the Dutch village.

Daniel didn't take it seriously, "Don't worry, the flow of time here is different from outside. Of course, this is only valid for magicians and swordsmen below level 4." He also lamented: "Poor Karl Caesar, I don't know How long have you been tortured underground."

Ace frowned and looked at Daniel, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Daniel said: "To put some pressure on you." He looked at Ace with some surprise in his eyes, "I don't think your future will stop at a level 6 magician, you can at least become a level 7 magician. With such a talent in the water system Under excellent circumstances, you can become a magic apprentice of undead magic so quickly. Ace, this is not easy, really."

Ace shook his head, "The magic elements of the dark attribute are too strong here, so I can enter the state so quickly." Ace is not underestimating himself, this place is indeed a paradise for necromancers.

Daniel handed Ace a wooden sign, "This can prove your identity as the descendant of the Skeleton King. You can use it to open the Skeleton King's palace in the middle of the Dead Sea. The Skeleton King has many subordinates in the dead world, and you can also take it. Let it receive them, but I suggest that you go to them after you become a mage, lest you be killed by them and directly robbed of your inheritance."

Ace took the wooden sign and said, "Thank you."

After Ace finished speaking, he wanted to walk to the place where the clam was, but Daniel said, "It's not too late, come with me again."

Daniel tapped on the wall of the room where Ace entered the tomb, and a new passage appeared in front of them.

Ace asked suspiciously, "This is it?"

Daniel led Ace into a small room, where a few things were randomly placed, and he said in a hurry: "Skeleton King's gift, you can choose any three of them."

There were a few ornaments in the room, a few pieces of furniture, and things like stones, tombstones, and bones.

Ace had just started watching, and Daniel said, "I suggest you choose the wand of death."

Ace looks at the only thing in the room that could be a staff, a bone.Daniel said: "That is the staff used by the Skeleton King. It can withstand the magic power of the Holy Magister. In the hands of the Skeleton King, it is no worse than an artifact."

Ace held the Undead Staff in his hand, which felt cool to the touch, like jade.Daniel said again: "But this staff can't help you cross levels to challenge other magicians. It can show as much as you have strength, that's all. If you have money, buy a well-made one outside. Wood, with a few more high-grade magic crystals inlaid, the staff made of it may be much more helpful to you at this stage."

Ace was a little speechless, but he still didn't put down the wand of death.

Ace walked to a pile of stones, and one of the oval stones caught his attention. The surface of this stone was not smooth, it looked like tree bark and fish scales."What is this?" Ace asked.

Daniel: "An egg."

Ace was surprised: "Is this egg still alive?"

Daniel: "Yes, I can feel it. But I don't know how many years it has been here, and I'm not sure if it can hatch."

Ace held the egg in his arms, the egg was a bit big and heavy, he needed both hands to hold it together.

Daniel was surprised, "You want this egg?"

Ace: "Yes."

Daniel: "Did you hear what I just said?"

Ace: "I know. When I'm just alone, I always want to have a living creature to accompany me, even if he can't hatch, it doesn't matter."

Daniel had already experienced the child's stubbornness, so he didn't persuade him any more. He saw Ace picked up another ring and asked him, "Do you know what this is?"

Ace guessed: "Space ring?"

Daniel: "Yes, the space inside is as big as half an underground palace."

Ace asked in surprise: "It's so big, isn't that an artifact?" The tomb of the Skeleton King, that is, the underground palace, can hold thousands of skeleton soldiers in one hall. It is conceivable how big the entire underground palace is up.Even if the space in the space ring is only half the size of the underground palace, it is still very remarkable.

Sure enough, Daniel nodded, "It's almost a semi-divine weapon. But I suggest you take that bracelet, it can hold living things, this ring can't hold your eggs."

On the side of the ring is a bracelet, which is different from the cool sunflower shape of the ring. This bracelet is made of two thick black ropes, which is very simple and ordinary.Ace tried the bracelet on his hand, and it was just the right size.

At this time, Daniel made up his mind again, "Although this bracelet can hold living things, its area is only as big as this room. You should think about it."

Ace held the bracelet in one hand and the ring in the other, and thought for a long time before putting the ring back in place.

Daniel: "The staff of the dead, an egg that may not hatch, and a small space bracelet. Are you sure about these three things? You will not be allowed to go back on your word when you leave this room."

Ace: "I'm sure."

Daniel closed the passage leading to the small room again, "Although there is not much space in this bracelet, it is indeed more precious than the space ring."

Ace: ...

Ace: Is that intentional?
