Skeleton King

Ace stood there in a daze, not even thinking to see if Sykes was dead.

As the lord of Eternal Night City and the successor of Skeleton King, death is not the most terrible thing in Ace's view.

What can scare people is always the unknown.

Ace hadn't figured out what to do with Sykes, and suddenly a lot of people came to their side.These people are neither members of the mission to the Finger Empire, nor are they obviously members of the Golden Lions. Ace speculates that they are from the Territory of Chaos.

Ace had no choice but to pick up Sykes and return to the cold pool.The cold pool is in a valley. Ace discovered it when he came in just now. There are many natural caves on the valley. He found a cave with a good view and put Sykes in it.

Ace will not bring Sykes back to the mission until things are clarified.

That night, the starry sky in the World of Warcraft Forest was extraordinarily bright, and a little bit of starlight was reflected in the cold pool, and then sprinkled melodiously on the grass and among the trees, like a bridal veil covering the green trees.

But this should have been a beautiful and quiet night, but it couldn't be quiet, and even the quiet cold pool was disturbed many times.Ace saw a few youths who looked like mercenaries found the body of the unknown sword master by the cold pool, and they called for more people.In the end, two people stood by the cold pool, and the others left the valley with the body of the unknown sword master.

To Ace's surprise, there was no sadness on the faces of these mercenaries who found the unknown sword master.

According to Ace's guess, no matter what kind of force he is in, the Juggernaut is a decisive force.Losing such a strong reliance, ordinary people are not emotionally sad, and they will be very upset when they think that their own interests may be affected.

But the reaction of these mercenaries was beyond Ace's expectations.

Ace could only guess that the mercenaries who came to the cold pool to take away the body of the unknown sword master, the hundred assassins, and the mercenaries they encountered just after entering the Warcraft Forest were not in the same group.

Ace turned back to the cave.

Ace wasn't worried about Sykes, who suffered from skin trauma.Even if Sykes was seriously injured, with him around, no city in the world of the dead dared to accept Sykes' undead.What Ace was worried about was Nou and the rest of the mission. God knows how many people the Territory of Chaos has sent out. In the eyes of these desperadoes, human life is the least valuable thing.

In the cave, Ace took out a bottle of potion from the space bracer.The potion is pure gold, it seems to be alive, it keeps making "呲呵" sounds, and there are scattered small golden beads in it.

The famous Star Potion of Eternal Night City, whether it is in the dead world or in the world, it is more than enough to exchange it for an ordinary small city.

Ace fed Sikes a drink gently.

It was not long before Sikes' pale face became ruddy, or perhaps too ruddy, making him look a little shy, like a bride-to-be.Ace thought mischievously.

When Sykes woke up, Ace was still wearing the clothes he wore during the day, white long shirt and trousers, with clean and fresh hair, like a young man who didn't know much about the world.

Sykes put his elbows on the ground, sat up a little, leaned his head on the mountain wall, and looked at Ace with interest, "Ace, no, Master Mage, Master Scholar? What should I call you? "

Ace's face seemed to be covered by a black cloud, "Just call me Ace."

Sikes laughed broadly.

Ace asked, "How did you recognize me?" If he has any flaws, he must find out as soon as possible.

The cave is not deep, and Sykes can see the sparkling water of the cold pool while lying in it. He pointed to the cold pool and said, "I just peeped at the threshold of the holy steps. At that time, my perception was sharp, and you bumped into it." gone."

"Just by feeling?" Ace couldn't believe it.Unless you have just had an epiphany, the holy rank usually does not have such a sensitive feeling.

"Actually, I'm just skeptical." When Sykes just woke up, Ace acted nonchalantly, and changed his clothes specially.Although Sykes' previous memory is still very clear, he also remembers why he called the necromancer Ace.

"So I exposed myself." Ace's expression was not very happy.

Sykes laughed out loud, but Ace stopped him angrily, "There are still people at the bottom of the valley, don't be discovered."

Although Sykes was still lying there, it did not hinder his free and easy smile at all, as well as his whole body.

Sykes said: "You still care about this? If you don't bring a mission, even if a sword master comes again, can you stop us?"

Ace wondered how Sikes had put him in one camp so easily.He is a necromancer. At this time, no matter how Ace denies it, Sykes will never believe it.And Sykes was born on Magic Island, and the several contacts between Magic Island and the Necromancer did not have good results.

Sikes was extreme again, and he did not have the slightest idea that they might be hostile relations.

Sykes said familiarly: "Ace, are you a necromancer? Tell me, how did you become a necromancer?"

Ace has made a decision. If Sykes doesn't cooperate then, he will summon the Necromancer Knights.With no worries, Ace didn't mind talking to Sykes.

Thinking of the novel "Sword and Magic", Magic Island also found the Skeleton King's cemetery later, and it was the team led by Sykes' father, Silver Sword Master. If you want to come to Magic Island, there is also a record of the Skeleton King's cemetery, but Ace did not He concealed too much, and directly said what happened to him in the Netherlands.

Of course, in Ace's statement, his intention to find the Skeleton King's cemetery turned into an unintentional entry, and then he got the Skeleton King's inheritance.

Sykes asked: "Then you are now a level 7 Necromancer?"

Ace nodded and said, "The breakthrough didn't take long."

Sykes looked at Ace with great interest, "I can't imagine it. No wonder you will become a scholar." Most magicians are not married, and if they are of noble origin, they will not inherit the title, because they are not interested in magic. For a teacher, studying the mysteries of magic is much more interesting than love, and mundane trivial matters are mostly a waste of time.Moreover, magicians are different from swordsmen. They spend many years in the laboratory, and most of them are knowledgeable people.

Sykes believes that Ace became a scholar to protect his identity as a necromancer.

Ace seemed to think of Sykes' thoughts, and said, "This is only part of the reason."

Sykes looked very relaxed, "You made a move just now, right? Then Princess Fenfur and the others should be fine, we have a lot of time to tell your story now."

Ace couldn't help but said, "Do you often gossip like this?"

Sykes meant something, "It's just for you." Seeing that Ace didn't understand very well, Sykes said again: "If you have a good story, I can keep the necromancer's secret for you."

Ace decided to take back the initiative of the conversation, and the Bone Staff appeared in Ace's left hand again.Ace has nothing to hide from Sykes now.The milky white staff shone with crystal white light, and it was even a little intoxicating under the starlight.

Ace's fingers gently rubbed the Bone Staff, and he said softly: "I never put my hopes on other people's feelings, I believe even more..."

Ace looked at the Bone Staff.It is self-evident what he believes in more.

There are a lot of things that Sykes does differently than Ace does on this night.Now that it was so again, Sikes released his grip on the lance, and pushed his most powerful weapon far away.

Sykes stared into Ace's eyes and said, "I always thought that besides force, there are other things worthy of your trust."

Silver eyes remind people of the most mysterious galaxy.Ace looked at Sykes with his green eyes of attractive shape, and he was surprised to find that Sykes' iris was the same shape as his eyes, although the color was very different.

Suddenly, Ace's thoughts drifted away.He thought of Caroline's eyes, long ago, as she lay dying.

It may be because His Majesty Ludwig IV sent Ace to join the mission for other purposes. Ace has been thinking about Caroline more recently than before.But Ace quickly retracted his aimless thoughts.

Ace said: "Yes, there are things in this world that are more trustworthy than magical contracts."

Just like Ace and Norn did not sign a contract, Ace trusts Norn very much.Ace signed a contract with the Heavenly Shield Swordmaster on Millai Street, but he knew that he would have reservations about the Heavenly Shield Swordmaster at any time.

Love is beyond the magic contract.

"It's like the love of parents for their children." Ace wanted to say that parents love selflessly, but when he thought of Caroline, His Majesty Ludwig IV and Viscount Neumann, Ace couldn't continue.

Sykes blinked at Ace. If the girls in the imperial capital saw Sykes like this, they would definitely scream, because they would not suspect that Sykes was discharging them."Yes," said Sykes, "and many more."

Ace thought he understood Sykes' hint.

Under Sykes' misty eyes, Ace took two steps forward. He held the bone staff in his left hand to prevent Sykes from trying to get him, and made a sudden attack. His right arm supported the mountain wall, and Sykes was caught. He is half covered.

"I let you go out from here today, there are only two possibilities." Ace's eyes flashed dangerously and deceptively, and his bright red lips opened and closed, "Either you sign a magic contract and keep the necromancer's secret for me .Do not reveal it under any circumstances."

Ace approached Sykes, and their distance was so close that Sykes' ears could feel the heat from Ace's mouth, "Either you become my lover."

Sykes looked at Ace with wide-eyed eyes, his narrow eyes were a little round, and he looked a little silly, like David Richter.It's not that Sykes has never accepted a man's confession. To be honest, with his identity, strength and appearance, he has encountered countless express hints since he was a child, but he has never had such a person on such an occasion.

Ace retreated a little, his emerald eyes were lifeless.Ace likes the feeling of being in control of the overall situation, whether it's in Evernight City or emotionally, "Although you were bothered before, if you agree, I will teach you well."

Sykes felt that he had encountered the most incredible thing in the world.
