Skeleton King

Grimace Mountain, the cave.

A little bit of starlight shines from the entrance of the cave to the inside of the cave.It was already dark enough in the cave, but Princess Eugenia was still standing at the entrance of the cave looking at the mountain peak not far away, covering half of the cave.

Carl Kaiser is not like Ace, he has such good night vision ability, and now he can't see anything.But his nagging complaints were nothing in front of Princess Eugenia's poisoned dagger.

Princess Eugenia stared blankly at the direction of the top of the mountain, her eyes were mixed with concern, worry, and anxiety that couldn't be concealed.

Suddenly, the strange noise in the cave drew Princess Eugenia's attention back, and Princess Eugenia said angrily, "Are you annoying?" Princess Eugenia thought Carl Caesar would do something again. It's a moth, she said, and walked impatiently into the cave,

But Princess Eugenia only took a few steps, and when she saw Carl Kaiser, she started to trot.

Princess Eugenia ran to the side of Carl Kaiser's wheelchair, squatted on the ground, looked at him, and asked at a loss: "What's wrong with you?"

Carl Caesar's hand was holding the clothes on the right side of his chest, the blue veins on his forehead were clearly visible, and after such a short effort, fine and dense beads of sweat were formed.He curled up like a shrimp, looking extremely painful.

Princess Eugenia accidentally touched Carl Kaiser's hand, it was extremely cold, she murmured: "What's wrong with you?"

Carl Caesar had no energy to answer her at all. He seemed to have returned to the time when the Dutch village on the South Sea of ​​the Pansy Empire was torn apart by the undead Daniel many years ago.

……

When seeing Jacob leave the valley, Ace had countless thoughts in his mind, but Ace pressed them one by one.It is not difficult to deal with Princess Muse and Princess Eugenia, but it is not easy to stop the war between the two empires.

In things like war, it is never the nobles who start the war that hurt, but the civilians of the two empires.

Ace has no intention of acting out for a while and causing more serious consequences.

Because of this, Jacob met Ace in the middle of the mountain.

Jacob's calm expression flashed a flash of surprise when he saw Ace blocking him, his voice was still stiff, like a robot, "I thought you wouldn't complete the contract so quickly."

"Maybe it will impress you." Ace smiled and said, "I'm about to break through to the fourth-level swordsman."

"It should be." The Star Stone can only restrict Ace's use of magic, and will not affect his force value. As a student of the owner of the magic island, Jacob still has some insight, and he quickly judged Ace's martial arts level, "Your strength is very good."

Ace smiled shyly. At his age, both Nou and Sykes have already broken through the seventh level, and the third level is really not something worth showing off.It's just that Jacob thought that Ace was born in the Finger family and was born weak, so he reluctantly praised him.

Jacob suddenly asked: "Where's the astrolabe? I have to bring it back to the magic island to return to my life."

Ace said: "Sister Muse wants to take a look. It's at her place. I see that you haven't come back for so long, so I'll come down to find you first."

Jacob had no doubts about him.

In Jacob's view, whether it is Princess Muse or Ace signing the contract has no effect on Magic Island.In the beginning, Jacob wanted to identify Ace's blood relationship only because he was worried that the Finger Empire would find a counterfeit.For some reason, Magic Island does not want the two major empires to experience violent turmoil in the near future. Even if there is, they hope that the coup will be smoother.

Moreover, this contract was signed in the name of Phil Finger, and the astrolabe will naturally guide the stars to find the owner of the contract. If Princess Muse insists on intervening, the power of the contract will backfire on her and Phil Finger , That's not worth the candle.

In the face of absolute strength and a powerful enough magic contract, Jacob doesn't have to worry about any conspiracy.

Therefore, when Ace and Jacob walked slowly side by side on the mountain road covered with ghost faces, Jacob didn't doubt anything.

This was the first time that Ace had the opportunity to be alone with Jacob. Ace glanced at the valley as if casually, and asked, "Is there anything in the valley?"

Jacob said, "Don't you know?"

Ace shook his head.

Although Jacob has a heart, he is still far inferior to Princess Muse and Ace, and he has some affection for Ace, so he quickly told him, "I found the magic seed at the bottom of the valley."

Ace was a little confused, "Huh?"

Jacob explained, "You know about magic springs, don't you?"

Ace nodded, of course he knew that for a magician, it is a big taboo to run out of magic power, but after having to use up the magic power, if there is magic spring water at hand, just use a small cup, the magician's magic power will be enough to return to its heyday.

But like all the good things in this world, the magic spring water also comes from the magic island.

Jacob said: "The magic island has lake spring water, which is magic spring water. Magic fruits will be born in it every hundred years. Ordinary people eat it. People with magic talent will become level nine magicians; people without magic talent, It will become a ninth-level swordsman. Ninth-level magicians and knights will break through the holy rank in an instant if they eat it."

Ace heard the strings and knew the meaning, "Sister Muse?"

Jacob said: "Yes, it was very coincidental last year that Magic Island got two twin magic fruits. At that time, the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire sent Prince Xiben and Princess Muse respectively. We gave them as gifts to killed them."

But neither the Pansy Empire nor the Finger Empire has this news.Ace frowned slightly. He didn't know whether the kings of the two countries gave the magic fruit to the envoys, or whether it was Prince Xiben and Princess Muse who kept this secret by coincidence.

Jacob didn't care about this, and continued: "However, there is only one magic flower in the magic spring of Magic Island."

Ace asked in surprise, "Then this magic seed?"

Jacob solemnly said: "Yes, this magic seed is well cultivated, and it will bloom and bear fruit in a hundred years. The magic island has guessed a long time ago that there can be only one magic flower, but we have never found other magic flowers , the traces of the magic seeds, unexpectedly, the Finger Empire has collected one."

"Magic seeds can only germinate under the nourishment of magic spring water, Phil, Princess Muse is right to hand it over." Jacob said rigidly, but he could hear sincerity, "Don't worry, I will return to Magic Island Finally, we will tell the island owner the truth. We will also treat the Golden Lion Sword Master and Golden Lion Knights well."

Ace and Jacob are about to go to the top of the mountain. Because of the terrain, Ace saw the scene on the top of the mountain first than Jacob. The golden characters of the ancient magic language are much smaller than before, but Princess Muse is obviously still in the contract. middle.

Ace silently rolled his eyes at Princess Muse in his heart.

Ace turned around suddenly and looked at Jacob, "Since you are so sincere to me, then I will share my biggest secret with you."

This was the first time Ace stood so close to Jacob, he could even count Jacob's gray eyelashes, Ace smiled slightly, his lips seemed to have been stained with roses, "Actually, I'm not Faye. Bill Black, and not Phil Finger."

Jacob's facial expression remained flat, as if he hadn't digested what Ace said.

The two of them just stood there, completely motionless, as if they had become sculptures.

……

Ace and Princess Muse stood side by side on the foot of the mountain. They watched Jacob leave, and then watched Jacob and the Golden Lion Juggernaut lead the Golden Lion Knights through the winding mountain road and completely disappeared in the dark.

Princess Muse said indifferently: "What did you tell the envoy of Magic Island?"

Ace turned his head to look at Princess Muse, and then turned his gaze back. The sky in the east has gradually brightened, and it is impossible for them to return to Finger Palace for the night.

Before Jacob left, he said that Magic Island would reconsider its support for Princess Muse.

Originally, Magic Island only planned to support Princess Muse to become the regent princess, but if Phil Finger's situation is too complicated and he himself has no interest in state affairs, Magic Island may support Princess Muse to become queen.

Ace didn’t know why, Jacob believed that Phil Finger was the blood of the old king, maybe the blood identification of the astrolabe was more reliable than human words, no matter what Ace said, Jacob thought his judgment was wrong wrong.

This really made Ace dumbfounded.

In the end, Jacob thought he understood the meaning of Ace's words. Muse Finger wanted to be the queen, and Phil Finger didn't want to be the king. Why should they be such villains on Magic Island.

Jacob had a decision in his heart, so he would speak out naturally, Princess Anmousi's heart.

At that time, Princess Muse didn't show much, but after Jacob left, she tentatively tested Ace.Princess Muse likes Ace's cleverness, and he can always help her in crisis; but she hates Ace's cleverness, which keeps the situation out of his control.

Ace said: "When Jacob and I went up the mountain, your contract hadn't been signed yet, so I always had to talk to him."

Princess Muse said: "What did you say?"

Ace said slowly: "The truth."

The handle made of a lion's head appeared on Princess Muse's right hand in an instant, and the long whip hovered around Princess Muse's feet like a poisonous snake. She took a step in the direction of Ace and said word by word: "I warned you .”

Ace spread his hands: "This is obviously a good thing for you."

Princess Muse said: "I will not let you leave the Palace of Finger again."

"But what if I don't want to go back?" Ace asked.

Princess Muse finally tore off the hypocritical mask between them, she said coldly: "It's up to you." She was about to catch Ace, but Ace stepped back facing her directly.

"You?!" Princess Muse was shocked, even a necromancer couldn't have such a speed.

Princess Muse saw the star pendant on Ace's chest shattered into two pieces and fell to the ground. She saw three extremely bright beams of light appearing behind Ace. The beams of light were white, gold, and purple.

Ace unexpectedly broke through to become a fourth-level swordsman at this time, broke the seal of the star stone, and awakened his fighting spirit.

The thumb of Ace's right hand clasped his ring finger and little finger, his index finger and middle finger exuded white light, he looked at his fingers and murmured: "So this is grudge."

The light on Ace's finger turned from white to gold again, and finally to purple.

A rare rainbow appeared in the dark sky. It had only three colors, white, gold, and purple.

Only one kind of talent will produce such a vision when fighting energy is awakened.

That kind of vindictiveness belongs to one of the two most noble families in the mainland. Their history is longer than that of the Finger family. They are known as the most orthodox royal family in this continent, and they are also the most powerful enemy of the Finger family in the past 800 years.

The ghost face flowers in the entire Ghost Face Mountain floated up, and they seemed to have found their own kind.

Pansies are white, gold, and purple. Because of their grimace-like shape, they are also known as grimacing flowers.There is also a saying that the grimacing flower is a derogatory name for the national flower of the Pansy Empire by the people of the Finger Empire.

Princess Muse looked at Ace in disbelief, "Pansy's fighting spirit?!!"
