Skeleton King

Sykes seems to have seen Caroline and Heinrich (Silver Juggernaut) meet in Xingyue Lake many years ago. Lin was sent away from the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, crossed the vast sea, and arrived at the magic island.

Then, Ace was born, and he grew up in the province of Westphalia, the province of the Pansy Empire closest to the Magic Island, separated by the Netherlands Sea.Although they are brothers, they did not grow up together like most brothers in the world.

They grew up according to the route chosen by their parents until they returned to the place where it all started, the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, and they met again.

"Hahahahahahaha." Sykes' smile was extremely wanton. From the first time they met, he felt that Ace treated him unusually, but Sykes did not expect that Ace would have such an idea.

Ace still stood in front of Sykes coldly, Sykes' big laugh didn't seem to affect him at all.Ace didn't show any irritation either.

Sykes leaned to the left intentionally or unintentionally. It's not that he didn't think about telling Ace the truth, Ace's shocked eyes, but that's definitely not now.

If because of being trapped by Ace, relying on Caroline's relationship, and getting away from Ace, Sykes will never be able to establish the majesty of his brother in front of Ace in his life.

But now Sykes has no thought of respecting Ace.

Sykes is a bit regretful that he didn't know Ace when he was a soft and cute little bun.At that time, how dare Ace point at him like that with his staff.

However, Sykes had to make it clear to Ace, "This is not okay."

Ace raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly, "Which condition is not acceptable?"

Sykes hesitated and said: "It's not very good."

Sykes was born on Magic Island. When he was very young, his father and the magician of Magic Island told Sykes not to sign a magic contract lightly, because he was not sure if the magician had added something to the contract. s things.

Caroline can't raise silly white sweet necromancers.

Sykes regretted a bit. When Ace first arrived in the imperial capital, he should have observed Ace more.

Ace's expression looked regretful, but his tone was not regretful at all, "Then I can only invite you to Evernight City."

"Eternal Night City?" Sykes was stunned for a moment before realizing that this is not a real city.Sykes hesitated for a moment, and said: "Ace, although I really want to see how you live in the dead world, can this agreement be delayed until I become a Juggernaut?"

At that time, Sykes can freely enter and leave the world of death, and will not be controlled by others.

The bone staff in Ace's hand stretched forward again, and it had already touched Sykes' chin.The magic attribute of the dark attribute on the Bone Staff was too strong, and Sykes raised his head a little uncomfortably.

Like being teased.

Ace expressed his meaning silently, Sykes has no fourth way to go.

Sykes had no intention of compromising, either.Just when the two of them were about to freeze, Ace's ears moved slightly, and Sykes also looked at the entrance of the cave with a half-smile.They all felt that someone was lurking here quietly.

Ace gave Sykes a reproachful look, and he felt that Sykes must have laughed too much just now, which attracted people.Sykes looked back at Ace innocently.

Although Ace and Sykes don't want to compromise, they don't want to be "guests" in the Territory of Chaos, and they don't know how much time will be wasted and how much trouble will be caused.

Ace walked slowly to the edge of the cave, without poking his head out, he judged by the fire of his soul that there were four people outside.

Four sixth-level swordsmen.

"Damn it." Ace cursed inwardly.Why did the two empires allow so many strong men to wander in the three-way zone? They are like locusts, endless.

Ace decided to strike first.

The people outside thought they hadn't been discovered and were sorting out their weapons.Ace left the cave with one stride, and swung the bone staff in his hand to the left and right twice, and the four swordsmen outside the cave felt a white glow flashing in front of them, and they couldn't see anything.

Knowing that there was a sneak attack, they quickly stood against the wall and shielded their chests with their weapons.

Ace shot at the swordsman who was closest to the cave first. His bone staff was like a stick and swept directly towards the swordsman's lower body. The swordsman felt a sharp pain in his leg and let out a short "ah", unable to control it. The residence fell to the ground.At the same time Ace had words in his mouth, and he was still chanting a spell.

But the spell is too lengthy, far less quick than a direct attack.

Ace hit another swordsman on the head with the Bone Staff again, but unfortunately that swordsman was very vigilant, before the Bone Staff touched him, he felt the wind force brought by the Bone Staff, so he dodged sideways.Ace's blow scraped a little of his scalp.But this is definitely not the end, a phantom appeared on the bone staff, directly hit the swordsman's lower abdomen, knocking him down to the ground.

The veins on the man's head burst out and he rolled on the ground in pain.

At this moment, Ace's previous instantaneous white light magic also failed.Two swordsmen fell to the ground, and the other two swordsmen stood on the right. They both held long knives in their hands. The blades of the long knives were pitch black, with two red marks on the blood groove, which looked extremely terrifying.

These two are also relatively powerful among the four, and Ace can tell by looking at their soul fire.But Ace didn't think that this would be a thrilling battle at all. He took two steps back and spit out the last syllable. Several thick vines suddenly appeared on the ground, and they climbed up along the feet of the two swordsmen. until they are tied tightly.

This process may only take tens of seconds, and when Sykes saw Ace appearing at the cave entrance, he couldn't help but be surprised: "So fast?!"

The Bone Staff had been put away by Ace. He walked to Sykes, carried him on his back, and said coldly, "You think I'm fast?"

Sykes was also very helpless, "Can you stop thinking so much?" When they walked out of the cave, Sykes whistled when he saw that those people were still alive, "I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted, Neither killed them."

Ace said indifferently, "Why kill them?"

Sykes lay on Ace's back. During the battle with the unknown sword master, Sykes injured his meridians and had to recover for two days. "Aren't you afraid of their revenge?"

Ace walked west with Sykes on his back, and the mission was in that direction.Ace said: "Is letting them die the end?"

Sykes was thoughtful, "It's not true for necromancers."

Sykes is not worried that these people will tell Ace's secrets. Ace has a meticulousness beyond his age, and the necromancer wants a few people who are far less powerful than himself to keep the secret, no matter how many spells he can use there is none left.But they will be helpless when dealing with people who are one level or even two levels higher than themselves.For example, Sykes.

Sykes knew they were going in the direction of the Finger Empire and that Ace was going to take him to the mission.Sykes knew that he should be as quiet as a chicken at this time, but he just couldn't help teasing his little brother, "Why, you trust me without a magic contract?"

Ace said: "There are always some privileges to those who are pursued."

If Ace's tone was not too businesslike, Sykes would still be a little bit convinced.

Sykes didn't expect that he didn't take out the hole card of blood relationship and escaped by relying on beauty first. He said, "You haven't given up yet?"

Ace has indeed not conceded defeat, and it is rare to meet someone who fits his aesthetics, "Well. He will take care of you for me."

Sykes had a bad feeling, "Him? Is there someone from you in the mission?"

Ace didn't answer, just walked faster towards the place where the mission was stationed before.

On the way, Sykes and Ace had no more conversations, only Sykes talking to himself from time to time, "Ace, your talent in martial arts is also very good, why are you only a level 3 swordsman?"

This restless night is about to pass. The magician's forbidden spell made a large forest into nothingness. At the end of another forest, there is a newborn sun that dyes the lush trees red, and the sunlight slantly passes through the gaps in the leaves. , irradiated on the pitted land, and irradiated into the bottomless black hole.The black hole swallowed all light sources again.

The birds and beasts in the World of Warcraft Forest did not know where they went.Along the way, Ace and Sykes didn't feel the hustle and bustle of the Warcraft Forest in the morning at all, like the battle last night, no, killing, they sucked up all the vitality of this half of the forest.

When Ace took Sykes back to the camp where the mission was stationed before, there were at least twice as many people in the camp, and the flags of the golden lion and the pansy were planted side by side on the hillside. There was a rustle in the wind.

The knights of the Golden Lion Knights wear golden standard armor. The color of the armor is like the dazzling sun rays. They look extraordinarily handsome in the early morning. Their helmets are made of antlers. The antlers on the helmets of the captain and captain are even more gorgeous. It is also inlaid with gemstones.

The most powerful knights of the two empires, the Royal Golden Knights of the Pansy Empire, and the Golden Lion Knights of the Finger Empire are basically composed of noble-born knights, and they are very promising young people. .

Thinking of how many knights of the Royal Knights Guards would stay here forever, the unscrupulous expression on Sykes' face faded away a lot in an instant.

Before Ace and the others entered the camp, someone spotted them.

"The captain is back!"

"Captain Richter is back!"

There was a lot of cheers from within the Royal Knights. Sykes squinted his eyes slightly, and was about to say hello to his knights, when he felt a whirlwind, and he was thrown directly by Ace to the place closest to them. on the body of the knight.

The knight was stunned, subconsciously the princess hugged their leader.

"Take good care of your captain." After Ace finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Ace saw Nou.

Nou was also standing in front of the camp at the moment. It was rare. Nou's armor was sporadically stained with mud, and there were two small scratches on his jade-like cheeks, and his lips were chapped.That tired look, the usual seventh-level knights would not have stayed on the desert island for dozens of days.

Seeing Ace's safe return, Nou relaxed instantly, which moved Ace a little.Ace felt that if there was someone he could absolutely trust in this plane, it would only be Nou.

Ace walked to Nuoou's side. The friendship they grew up with and the tacit understanding they had since they were teenagers allowed them to understand each other's thoughts without talking.Ace took off the water bag pinned to his waist and handed it to Nou's lips, "Drink some water."

Nou didn't take the water glass as Ace imagined, but drank directly from Ace's hand.

Ace was a little surprised, but he let Noou go.

At this moment, there was a louder commotion from the camp.

Ace turned his head, and Sykes yelled, insisting on walking back to the camp by himself.But as soon as the knight put Sykes on the ground, Sykes found that he still couldn't exert his strength. At this time, he couldn't regret it, so he had to sit on the ground and try to recover some fighting spirit.

When Sykes felt that things were not going well these days and was depressed, someone appeared in front of him.Seeing the people coming, many knights of the Royal Guards also lowered their heads. No amount of respect for such a powerful existence can be overstated.

The person who came also wore the standard armor of the Golden Lion Knights, but his antler helmet was not worn on his head, but was held in his arms. He had brilliant blond hair, and his face looked about forty, very serious.Needless to say, Ace can tell his identity just by looking at his bright and dazzling golden soul fire.

The head of the Golden Lion Knights, the Golden Lion Juggernaut, is a peerless powerhouse who has protected the royal family of the Finger Empire for more than a hundred years.

The top knight orders of the two empires have not met for more than a hundred years. No matter whether it is Sykes, the Golden Lion Juggernaut, or the rest of the two knight orders, they would never have imagined that their leader's first meeting would be like this.

Sykes sat on the ground sluggishly, but there was no obvious trauma on his body. If everyone hadn't known about the arduous battle last night, as long as they thought of Sykes' reputation as a romantic man, they would have thought that Sykes Si sneaked to that lady's room last night, and fought hard until tonight before coming out.

The Golden Lion Sword Master stood in front of Sykes, like a famous sword drawn out of its sheath, showing its sharpness.

The knights of the Royal Knights Guards wanted to cover their faces. They didn't know that their leader injured his meridians, but they thought that Sykes was too lazy to stand up.

Yes, although Sikes was very strict with them, he never stood up when he could sit down, and never sat down when he could lie down.In the past, there were knights who were angry about this, but Sykes blocked them back, "When you are a level 9 knight, come and discuss terms with me."

But now, sir, what you are facing now is the only public sword master of the two empires.

The Golden Lion Juggernaut did not fly into a rage or dismiss Sykes as others imagined, he took another big step forward and stretched out his hand to Sykes.Sykes narrowed his eyes slightly, a little surprised, but he still held the hand of the Golden Lion Sword Master, and a strong grudge came from the hand of the Golden Lion Sword Master.This vindictiveness stimulated Sykes' own vindictiveness to circulate again. Sykes originally estimated that this process would take more than half a day.

Sykes is not ignorant, "Thank you, my lord. Under Sykes Richter, from Magic Island, is now the head of the Royal Guard Knights of the Pansy Empire."

"The eldest son of the Silver Juggernaut, I know you." The Golden Lion Juggernaut is tall and lean, with piercing eyes. Sykes is taller than ordinary youths, but he is half a head taller than Sykes , At this time, he looked at Sykes with a somewhat condescending gaze.He said word by word: "Golden Lion, the leader of the Golden Lion Knights of the Finger Empire."

"I have long admired your lord's name," said Sikes, not as a compliment.As the only Juggernaut of the two empires who is not restricted by the Magic Island, the Golden Lion Juggernaut has a much greater influence on the battlefield of Purin than ordinary people can imagine.There was an unnamed sword master before the Territory of Chaos, but it was not made public.

The next words of the Golden Lion Juggernaut were shocking, "Sikes Richter, are you about to break through the Juggernaut?"

Originally, everyone in the camp only dared to look at the two captains quietly. At this time, many people forgot what they were doing, and stared blankly at Sykes and the Golden Lion Sword Master.In an instant, the camp became silent.

No one thought that the Golden Lion Sword Master was aimless, and Sykes did not expect this famous general to be so straightforward.

But when it comes to this, Sykes has no intention of concealing it.Sykes smiled freely, "Probably another ten years."

The Golden Lion Sword Master didn't feel at all what kind of thunder was thrown before, and continued: "It shouldn't take ten years."

Sykes smiled casually, his eyes swept across the knights of the Royal Guards, and he received a lot of admiration and admiration.The eyes of those knights looking at Sykes seemed to be shining, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were looking at gods.

The Golden Lion Sword Saint said: "The Richter family is really extraordinary, a family of double saints."

There is also a hint of regret in the tone of the Golden Lion Juggernaut. He has guarded the Finger Empire for more than 100 years. According to the Juggernaut's lifespan of about 300 years, he can guard the empire for another 100 years.But at present, there is no one in the empire who can succeed him.

Thinking of the man he saw in the Territory of Chaos, the Sword Master of the Golden Lion couldn't help but sigh for the abundance of talents in the Pansy Empire, and he looked at Prince Bartholomew in the camp, feeling even more worried.

Sykes returned to the tent amid the cheers of the crowd.The knights of the Royal Guards all feel that it is the highest honor to serve under the sword master.

The Golden Lion Juggernaut has already discussed with Sykes.They will rest here until noon, with him and the Golden Lion Knights, and not far from the border of the Finger Empire, people from the Territory of Chaos will definitely not dare to invade.There are also many accompanying officials of the mission to the Finger Empire, and knights of the Royal Guard Knights who are lost in the forest of monsters.They want to get them back as soon as possible while time is short.

Sykes' tent had already been filled with barrels filled with scalding bath water.Sikes threw the armor on the ground, and his clothes were so damaged that he tore them apart. He walked to the edge of the tub and was about to go in.Suddenly, Sikesford seemed to have a heart, and he took the spear beside him in a natural and smooth manner, and stabbed to the side without much hope.

Taking the place where Sykes stabbed with the spear just now as the center, the space in Sykes tent rippled like water waves, and a young man wearing a black necromancer robe and with short brown curly hair appeared in Sykes. in the tent.

The newly-appeared necromancer didn't seem to see Sykes' vicious eyes. He bowed gracefully to Sykes, "My lord, I was sent by His Royal Highness Ace to serve you."

Sykes thought of Ace's previous words, "He will take care of you for me." That ominous premonition came true.

Sykes gritted his teeth, "I don't think I need a necromancer to serve."

Bill still had a qualified smile, and his etiquette was standard, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be pressured. I have always been a housekeeper by His Highness Ace's side. Moreover, His Highness Ace ordered me to protect you every step of the way."

Sykes just thought it was extremely ridiculous, "What do you mean staying close? Including when I take a shower and go to the latrine?"

Bill seemed to be a very educated and good housekeeper, "Yes, my lord." He was not at all offended by Sykes' attitude.

Sykes's face twitched slightly, and he stood by the bathtub and froze, whether he was going in or not.Even after Bill had finished speaking, he disappeared into the ripples of space, as if he had never existed, Sikes could not feel him.

But Sikes knew Bill was still there.

"Ace!!!" Sykes' expression was fierce and ruthless.
