Skeleton King

"Where is the young master, has anyone seen the young master?" The guards of the Neumann family suddenly rushed into a small room.

The small room was not well lit, and from time to time there would be suppressed cheers coming from inside.In the room, there was a small square table in the middle, surrounded by seven or eight guards. On the table were piles of silver coins, copper coins, playing cards, and dice.

Several people firmly protected the cards in their hands, preventing others from seeing them, and secretly observed the expressions of other people, trying to discover the mystery.

The dealer who dealt the cards saw the guard rushing in, and said indifferently, "The young master is still asleep." He looked out of the window, and said again: "It's still early, you think the young master is us, so you don't have to sleep until noon .”

Most of the guards sneered, two of them echoed the dealer's words, and the others focused on the cards, in case someone fished out of troubled waters.

The guard who had just entered was anxious, and he shouted loudly: "The young master is gone. He is not in the room! The viscount wanted to see him, so I knocked on the door! I searched in the hotel, but he was not there! No one looked Go out to the young master!"

For a moment, everyone seemed to be under forbidden magic.

They knew that the guards didn't dare to joke about this.

No one cared about the cards in their hands anymore, they didn't even have time to clear the silver coins on the table, they picked up the sword as quickly as possible, and rushed out of the room.If Master Neumann disappeared under their noses, they would all be finished!

Even if they managed to escape with their lives, they would still be dispatched to the Northwest to do hard labor for a lifetime!And their ancestors have lived in the fiefdom of the Neumann family for generations, and they have been loyal to the Neumann family for generations. If they really lose the only heir of Viscount Neumann, their old father will commit suicide in shame!Their descendants will never be able to lift their heads up!

They will be ten times worse than the guards of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce today!hundred times!

The guards looked panic-stricken, and ran downstairs "stumbling and staring".

They were about to disperse into the village to look for the young master when they saw...

Ace Neumann was sitting on a high stool at the bar of the bar, dangling his short legs, eating bread slowly, seeing them going downstairs, Ace Neumann still reprimanded them dissatisfiedly and arrogantly He said: "Why do you run, why do you all look like stray dogs?"

When the guards of the Neumann family saw Ace, they really wanted to hug the young master's thigh and cry. Just now, they really thought they were going to die!

The few guards walking in front turned their heads and glared at the person who reported the letter just now!The idiot!

The young man with flaxen hair and pale face looked at Ace in disbelief, and he murmured, "I really searched the whole tavern, even the toilet. The tavern owner also said that he didn't see the young master go out " He said to Ace again: "Young master, where did you go just now?"

Ace dipped applesauce on the last piece of bread. It took a lot of energy to perform the magic, but most things turned out delicious when he was hungry.He said lightly: "Where have I been, do I still need to report to you?"

A very big guard photographed his stupid companion behind him, and said to Ace: "Young Master, don't meet him. The Viscount is looking for you."

Ace nodded and slid off the high stool. He followed the big guard to the village chief's house and met Viscount Neumann.

Viscount Neumann straightened his cloak and said to Ace: "There is good news. Thank God. Carl Kaiser has found it. He has no missing arms or legs. He can speak clearly after waking up. It doesn't look like he has become mentally retarded." .that's enough."

Ace: "Caesar woke up so soon? Does he still remember why he disappeared?"

Viscount Neumann: "The Caesar Chamber of Commerce spent a lot of money and hired a light mage and a healing technique, and Caesar woke up. After he woke up, he said that he fainted after being caught. These days, apart from the old feelings I'm drifting around by myself, and I don't remember anything. I'll go to see him later, do you want to go there together?"

Ace: "People from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce? Nothing to see."

Daniel never thought that Karl Caesar would go out alive one day, he did not imprison Caesar.

It is unlikely that Caesar knew nothing about the tomb of the Skeleton King, but whether it was Daniel who absorbed a little of Caesar's soul fire, which made him unconscious, or Caesar deliberately concealed it, and Ace could not ask Caesar for proof when Daniel disappeared Under the circumstances, it may only become an unsolved mystery.

It's a good thing that Carl Kaiser woke up, but Ace wasn't about to throw himself into the trap.

Fortunately, Viscount Neumann didn't really want Ace to go, he said: "Alright, you can go back to practice, and there is no need to make friends with people from the chamber of commerce." Ace blushed silently when he heard the first half of the sentence, and then I heard Viscount Neumann talking to himself: "There are also those arrogant magicians who look up and look unhappy all day long, as if someone owes them money. They are all taken advantage of by the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, a low-level Master Guangming spent three magic crystals to invite them to fatten up their appetite..."

Commoners feel that nobles are arrogant, and nobles feel that magicians are arrogant. It has to be said that it is an interesting cycle.

On the same day, Ace went back to the tavern, and Viscount Neumann went to see Karl Kaiser.At the same time, Viscount Neumann also gained the friendship of the Kaiser Chamber of Commerce. In order to thank him for rescuing Master Kaiser, it seemed that Viscount Neumann had something to do with Karl Kaiser's sudden appearance, Viscount Neumann also received a lot of thanks Fees, including a little dry stock of the Kaiser Chamber of Commerce in the province of Westphalia.

This generous thank-you fee made the usually serious Viscount Neumann twitch his mouth for several days.

On the day Karl Caesar was found, the people of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce left the Dutch village with the president's heir.Viscount Neumann and the knights under the governor of Westphalia visited the village to investigate some things about the undead before leaving a day later.

Before returning to Bad Soden with Viscount Neumann, Ace met Stephanie again.

She stood on the rocky beach, looking at the endless sea, motionless, with tears sliding down her fair cheeks silently.The waves beat against the rocks, as if they were going to scream out the sadness in her heart.

Ace had never seen a woman cry like this, so peaceful, and so sad.He saw Thomas, the tavern owner, walk up to Stephanie silently and put a coat on her.

Stephanie: "I woke up today and my stomach was flat again. The baby thing, it was just a delusion of mine, it was all my delusion. I missed him so much and wanted to have our baby so much. "

Thomas: "He's been gone for a long time. Forget about him."

Stephanie didn't speak, she seemed to be resisting this fact, but also seemed to accept it.After a long time, she leaned lightly on Thomas' shoulder and closed her eyes.

Ace rode a white pony and left silently.

Stephanie had forgotten what had happened that morning, and that Daniel had turned into a ghost, or she remembered and thought it was a dream.

She will come out of the past and start a new life.She is so strong, so beautiful, and she will live a peaceful life in this small village.

Ace rode back to the team of the Neumann family, where the brackish sea breeze could no longer be felt, but there was a long sadness in Ace's heart.He didn't know whether it was for Daniel or for the love that happened on the coast of the Netherlands.

Viscount Neumann saw the pony honestly under Ace's reins, and nodded approvingly, "You still have some talent in riding. After you return to Bad Soden, you must practice your sword well."

Ace: "Yes, Father."
