Skeleton King

When Sykes woke up, he was lying in the cave of the silver dragon Edward.

The silver dragon Edward's collection is the largest on Dragon Island, and there is also the golden bed that the first queen of the Pansy Empire lay on. This big bed can be included in the silver dragon Edward's collection because the bed frame of the big bed is covered with gems.Norn lived in the silver dragon Edward's cave for a while years ago, and there was soft cotton for the little dragon, which happened to make a mattress for Sykes.

Sykes woke up in a trance, he saw gold and silver jewels, precious utensils, famous knives and famous swords, and the silver dragon Edward lying on the hill composed of these treasures, Sykes felt as if he had passed away, he said: " I had a dream, I dreamed that a golden dragon was chasing me, and the person I liked turned into a dragon, and there were many dragons watching us."

Sykes was lying on this thousand-year-old bed, his eyes were dull.

The silver dragon Edward breathed lazily on its jewelry hill, and said casually: "I'm sorry to tell you, this is not a dream."

Sikes turned to look at it. He just felt so tired now that he didn't even have the strength to sit up, and he didn't want to get up and face it.

The silver dragon Edward looked at Sikes' grief-stricken appearance, and taunted him mercilessly: "You should show Alice your pitiful appearance, she is a little girl who likes beauty." He He said happily again: "And me! I only like shining treasures!"

"You don't get good treatment from me. And with your current appearance, I doubt whether Alice will be rare for you." The silver dragon Edward gloated and found a huge mirror from its collection.

This is a very magical magic tool. After pouring it with magic power, you can see the most beautiful person in this plane from the mirror, but it can only be used as an ordinary mirror on the claw of the silver dragon Edward.

Edward, the silver dragon, put the magic mirror in front of Sykes.

The silver dragon Edward said happily: "Take a good look at yourself."

In the magic mirror, Sykes' long shining silver hair has disappeared, leaving only his bare forehead, even his eyebrows and eyelashes have turned into fly ash, and the hair on other parts of his body is also the same .

Of course, in Long Yan, Sykes only suffered this little damage, which is already very remarkable.

To be honest, after confirming that it was not a dream, Sykes felt very incredible that he was still alive.

When Sykes figured it out, the first thing he asked was, "Where's Alice?"

Even if Alice is not an ordinary girl, but a dragon clan, it won't be too good for Norn, the patriarch of the dragon clan.Sikes could not help worrying about Alice.

"Hmph." The silver dragon Edward mentioned this, and he became angry with Sykes. Its neck stretched forward, and its head was bigger than Sykes and the bed under him.The distance between the silver dragon Edward and Sykes is extremely close, and Sykes can feel the hot breath of the silver dragon Edward. If Sykes has cold hair, his hair will explode right now. He has just returned from Longyan. A person who has walked around.

Sikes, however, behaved composure at this time.Of course, it is also possible that you have been scared to death.

The silver dragon Edward had to look at Sykes for a while with his nose not his nose, his eyes not his eyes, and then said: "Alice is fine. His Royal Highness Norn is indeed very talented, but he is not yet an adult, and the gap between the holy rank and the lower rank , even in the Dragon Clan is a gap."

"That's all right," said Sikes.

The voice of the silver dragon Edward buzzed in the cave, "You should have guessed Alice's identity, right?"

Although the silver dragon Edward was not very satisfied with Sykes, but seeing that the Silver Sword Master had kindness to him in the early years and Sykes cared about Alice, it could only stop blocking this matter.The key is that its granddaughter, Alice, is indifferent to the human beings in front of her, and she signed a magic contract with the human beings in front of her without her permission. What can she do?

There are many dragons of various colors on the island, but apart from Edward and Alice, Sykes has not seen any other silver dragons.Sykes nodded and said, "I guess."

At this time, Alice also appeared in the cave of the silver dragon Edward. She still looked like a human girl. When she saw Sykes wake up, a burst of joy appeared in her eyes, "Sykes, You woke up."

Sykes wanted to sit up, but found that all the bones in his body seemed to be broken, and he had no strength at all.

Alice walked quickly to Sykes' side, quickly stopped his movement, and said: "You were injured too badly by the dragon flames, I used dragon blood to reshape your bones, you have to lie down for a while longer .”

Seeing the anxiety in Alice's eyes, Sykes smiled gently: "It's okay."

The silver dragon Edward's cool voice appeared above their heads, and it said to Sykes: "This is a good thing for you. Not every human being has the opportunity to recast their bodies with the secret method of dragon blood. When you become Holy Queen, your body will be stronger than most level 10 monsters, second only to dragons."

Looking at Alice's pale little face, Sykes' voice could be called affectionate, "Thank you for your hard work."

Alice smiled sweetly at Sykes, and said, "This is what I should do."

The silver dragon Edward was very uncomfortable with this scene, he took two heavy breaths, and said to Sykes: "You must explain clearly to His Royal Highness Norn about the pendant."

"Yes, I will try my best to tell the patriarch of the Dragon Clan. But..." Sykes felt that he had already told Norn what he should explain, and he really didn't know what else to say.

The silver dragon Edward ignored him, and said to himself: "You are now Alice's dragon knight. Anyway, there are no giant dragons in the clan who are about to grow up. We can send you to the secret place of Dragon Island to break through."

Although being able to go to the secret place on Dragon Island to break through is a great thing for Sykes, Sykes still felt that there was one thing he had to figure out, "Dragon Knight? Am I already Alice's Dragon Knight?"

The silver dragon Edward's eyes widened, but Alice smiled shyly. Her bright eyes looked at Sykes intently: "Didn't we already have a contract? You said, I belong to you, and you belong to me." .”

Sykes blinked and said blankly, "Oh, yes."

Is that the dragon knight's contract signed between the dragon clan and humans?He thought it was...

The silver dragon Edward saw that there was nothing wrong with Sykes, and continued: "There are martial arts that can only be learned by dragon knights in the secret place. You use long spears. Just go inside and find the martial arts related to long spears. When you break through the holy After the first level, you must defeat the best of the three races of red dragon, blue dragon, and green dragon before you can take Alice away from Dragon Island. Originally, my agreement was made with your father, and he must have no problem fulfilling these conditions .”

The silver sword master Heinrich Richter is one of the few strongmen in the holy rank, and he is one of the few existences who can defeat the dragon clan head-on.

The silver dragon Edward watched Alice put Sykes' spear by his bedside. After the battle between Alice and Norn, Alice went to the end of Dragon Island to retrieve it herself.

The silver dragon Edward looked at Sykes and said: "As for you, if you can't even defeat the dragons sent by those three groups, you are not qualified to take Alice away."

Alice sat at the edge of Sikes' bed, tending him tenderly, without questioning her grandfather's words at all.

Sykes also knew that it was not easy to take the lead dragon away from Dragon Island, and it was Alice, the silver dragon. He just couldn't believe it, "I can take Alice away? My father's agreement with you is not in exchange for letting I came to Dragon Island to break through the Juggernaut?"

The silver dragon Edward said indifferently: "Originally it was not allowed, but you came to Dragon Island and brought another dragon token."

"Another one?" murmured Sikes, who quickly figured out that it was the pendant that Ace had given him.

"The dragon clan owes Ace Neumann a great favor. I once suggested that he could contract the adult dragon on the island in front of the holy steps, but he refused." The silver dragon Edward said: "Since he let you Bringing it here means that the dragon clan will return this favor to you. Therefore, when you bring it to Long Island, all the dragon clan on the island will also inspect you, even if there is no matter between you and Alice. After you break through, if other dragons are interested in you, you can also take them away."

"Now, Alice has chosen you. Regardless of whether you can leave Dragon Island with her or not, the Dragon Clan and Ace Neumann will owe nothing to each other," said the silver dragon Edward.

Sykes was very surprised. Even if he wanted to understand the preciousness of the gift from Ace, he didn't expect it to have such a meaning.

Sykes was a little worried about his younger brother, "But how could the dragon clan owe Ace such a big favor?"

"He was the one who sent His Royal Highness Norn back to Dragon Island." The silver dragon Edward waved his wings, unwilling to tell Sykes about it again, "His Royal Highness Norn doesn't like to tell others about it. When the time comes You go and see him, and be interesting for yourself."

The silver dragon Edward thought for a while, and said: "It's fine for Alice to leave with you. Originally, His Royal Highness Norn didn't come back, and she will take over from me as the patriarch. Although Alice has no intentions, the dragons on the island don't think so , we don’t have many clansmen anymore, I don’t want to see them learn from you humans and fight each other all day.”

Thinking that after Sykes recovered from his injury, he would be sent to the secret place of the Dragon Clan. After he broke through the Juggernaut and finished the match with the young Dragon Clan, he would take Alice away from Dragon Island. The silver dragon Edward chattered to Sykes. He talked a lot about Alice, for example, Alice likes to eat seafood, but doesn't like to eat monster meat on land, and prefers sapphire and emerald to ruby, which made Alice a little impatient.

The silver dragon Edward finally told Sykes, "Alice will have a estrus every [-] years. You remember to send her back to Dragon Island. It's okay for her to play outside, but don't leave the bastards behind."

Edward, the silver dragon, considers himself an enlightened parent.

Sykes said: "This..."

Alice didn't wait for Sykes to speak, and turned to her grandfather impatiently, "I know, the bastards are all green dragons, red dragons, and blue dragons, and the blood of the golden dragon and the silver dragon has not existed for tens of thousands of years. It's been mixed up."

Sykes: ...

Edward, the silver dragon, saw Sykes' expression a little strangely, and said suspiciously: "You don't mean to be interested in Alice, do you? I heard that Silver Juggernaut is very popular among you humans. You look just like him. There are some similarities, although the strength is much weaker, but the aesthetics of you humans is hard to say. Don't look at Alice who is over 1000 years old. According to the age of the dragon clan, she is still a small dragon, so don't spoil her."

Sykes: ...

Sikes shook his head hastily.

The silver dragon Edward nodded with satisfaction, "Alice has never left Dragon Island, she is very simple. As her dragon knight, you have to take good care of her, and if other humans or monsters provoke her, you have to take care of her." Because of Alice's blood and identity, the young dragons on the island fought a lot to become her partner."

Alice said: "Oh, grandpa, don't read it. Don't worry, I will definitely find a dragon in the future."

The voice of Alice's figure was too low, the silver dragon Edward didn't hear it, and was still muttering, "The blood of our silver dragon can be traced back to..."

Sykes: ...

……

Territory of Chaos.

Whether it was for the people in the main mountain city, or for the people at the foot of the mountain, this was a restless night.

The two sides have been deadlocked for several days, and neither side wants to make this battle a protracted one.Whether it was the mercenary guild subjugating the main mountain city subtly, or Ace conquering the ten mountains in a flash, they didn't want to attract the attention of the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire.

And precisely because Ace now controls 90% of the forces in the Territory of Chaos except for the main mountain city, whoever wins this war will become the future master of the Territory of Chaos.

The mercenary guild really blocked Ace's way up the mountain with the A-level mercenary group as Alt thought.

When the number of mercenary groups reaches a certain number, even the Juggernaut is helpless, unless the two armies confront each other and there are mages who cast forbidden spells, just like the two mages of the Finger Empire who escorted Princess Fenfur and Bartholomew. What the prince did when he crossed the forest of monsters, but that had to be before the two armies fought, because the forbidden spell was indistinguishable from friend to foe.

But what Art did not expect was that the mercenary guild sent more than 10 A-level mercenary regiments. After several days of continuous testing by Ace and Art, they had confirmed that there were at least 20 A-level mercenaries in the main mountain city. Regiment, 20 B-level mercenary regiments.

The mercenary guild has already spent all their money.They don't even care whether the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire will find out their lies, and they will fight Ace to death.

But Ace also has new reinforcements here.

The Io mercenary group established by Ace and Nou when they were still in the province of Georgia in the early years, with the permission of Nou, half of the people led by George appeared in the Territory of Chaos.The Io mercenary group was originally a dual-leader system. Later, Ace and Nou turned behind the scenes. They each sent an agent. Ace sent George, and Nou sent Jerrold Horsley.

Now, Nou and Ace have tacitly agreed that they will stay in the Territory of Chaos and will not return to the Pansy Empire.

Ace looked at the black crowd outside.The Io mercenary group already has tens of thousands of people, and even the part allocated to Ace has 1 people.Ace split them into four small mercenary regiments, and drew some high-level skeleton knights from Evernight City.Angela is already a very good alchemist, as long as they put on the full body armor made by Angela, no one will be able to discover their identities unless the Juggernaut examines them carefully.

In this way, there are enough strong people in each small mercenary group to reach a very terrifying ratio.

But they haven't captured the main mountain city so far.

Alter appeared next to Ace and said, "Master."

Ace didn't look back, but said, "Are you still asleep?" Swordsmen are different from magicians, no matter how high a level a swordsman is, they need sleep.

Ace asked him: "Thinking about tomorrow's battle?" Alter was fully in charge of this siege battle. It is conceivable how much pressure Arter was under.

Although Alter was in the training camp of the Knights of Westphalia Province, he was in charge of the overall situation on the hill of the Territory of Chaos in order to help the head of the Knights of Westphalia Province. But Alter has yet to lead a war involving tens of thousands of people.

Alter did not try to be brave, and said: "Yes. Unless we use siege vehicles or magic scrolls to blow open the gate of the main mountain city, I have no other way to break through the main mountain city." But in that case, the main mountain city Civilian casualties are bound to be high.

The main mountain city is different from other mountains in the Territory of Chaos. It is the only mountain city with walls in the Territory of Chaos.Moreover, the terrain of the main mountain city is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Whenever the two empires attack here, everyone in the Territory of Chaos will flee to the main mountain city. All the walls of the main mountain city have also been slowly repaired in the past thousand years. At the time, no one would save money on building walls.

For the people of the two empires, building walls and houses is a good job to earn money, but for the people of the Territory of Chaos, it is really a matter of life and death.

When the Finger Empire and the Pansy Empire claimed to break through the Territory of Chaos, they never really occupied the main mountain city. They just captured other hills, surrounded the main mountain city, and then returned to return.After a long time, the Knights of the Finger Empire and the Pansy Empire stationed in the Territory of Chaos became less and less, and the people from the main mountain city would go down the mountain to regain the ownership of this land.

This is a mountain that has never been conquered by humans.

In fact, Art is only 25 this year, and Ace said he understands his nervousness.Ace said: "Alter, the most important thing for us is not to win this battle."

In the dark, Art frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand.

Ace said: "Alter, the real experience for you is to let Bill and I leave the Territory of Chaos. With us, you will not lose this war anyway."

If there are wizards on one of the two sides of the war, the battle will be several levels more difficult for the enemy, and it will become extremely difficult. If there is a lich in one of the camps, then the difficulty faced by the enemy will be hell level .Because that means an army of skeletons that can't be counted.

It's just that Ace hasn't felt the need for him and Bill to make a move yet.

Art said: "Will the young master leave?"

Ace replied: "I have a hunch that I won't stay here for a long time. I'm more concerned about sending 20 A-level mercenary regiments and 20 B-level mercenary regiments to the Territory of Chaos than the mercenary guild sent The meaning behind what they did."

Even the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire are in disarray right now. Princess Muse and Prince Xiben are not stupid, and such a big movement cannot be hidden from them.The mercenary guild is equivalent to cutting off the back road, and coming to the Territory of Chaos to fight Ace with his back.

But why would they do this?

Ace's curiosity about this reason even surpassed his desire to capture the mountain city of the Lord of Chaos at this moment.

But Ace believed that when he became the master of this mountain, he was entitled to know this secret.

Ace walked towards the tent, not forgetting to tell Alt, "Go to sleep. Don't worry, I have already sent people up the mountain, and the mercenary guild will surrender. Now let you try to break through it, just for your future Hold on to it better. When Bill and I leave, these 91 mountains will all be handed over to you."

……

Unlike Ace, who was so extravagant to let his men practice with tens of thousands of soldiers, in the Pansy Palace, Prince Xiben only felt that he was stretched, and the knights in his hand were simply not enough.But now he has other things to worry about.

It was already very late at night, and the lights in the meeting hall of the Pansy Palace were still on. Different from the luxury of the meeting hall of the Finger Palace, this was just a very simple small room.The only extravagance is that both sides of the room are filled with magic lamps, so that the old ministers will not be blinded and unable to read the words on the parchment.

There is a small rectangular table in the middle of the Pansy Empire’s conference hall. Prince Nishimoto sits at the main seat. On his right is Prime Minister Colvin, and on his left is the Minister of Foreign Affairs. This position originally belonged to the Minister of the Interior, but Prince Nishimoto Let the foreign minister sit here, and no one dares to object.Who told the foreign minister to be Prince Nishimoto's confidant?Prince Nishimoto is the Minister of the Interior second from his right and the Minister of Finance second from his left.

The most powerful people in this empire are all sitting here, with such a wide age range, so of course they are not talking about romance.

Prince Xiben handed a parchment tied with a blue ribbon to the prime minister. He didn't speak, but everyone knew that the blue ribbon represented the news of the magic island.Prime Minister Colvin did not refuse, and opened it directly. After reading it, he frowned and passed the parchment to the Foreign Minister.

Prime Minister Corwin caught the look from his old partner, the Home Secretary, and just shook his head.

The Minister of the Interior was very puzzled. It wasn't until his turn to open the parchment that he realized that Prime Minister Colvin was hesitant to speak. Although this news was related to the Magic Island, it couldn't be said that it came from the Magic Island——

After the long night, when the sun sinks into the sea, the full moon is stained with blood, and the waves flood the coast, there will be stars to guide the way and lead the Milai people to their home.The third scholar in the Millais library was born, titled Xingchen.

Mile

Pansy Imperial Calendar July 1012 / Finger Imperial Calendar July 7

The message came from the Millais library.Therefore, Prime Minister Colvin and the Minister of the Interior also understood why Prince Xiben had not summoned them for a long time after he became regency, so why did they call them again today.

He needs their wisdom.

Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs is inferior to the above two in terms of strategy, he is the best at observing words and deeds, and he is familiar with Prince Nishimoto, so it is best for him to start the conversation, "Your Highness is worried about this star scholar?"

Prince Nishimoto's tone was flat, "It's not that I'm worried, I just don't want to put such a variable outside."

The Minister of the Interior is about to sneer in his heart, don't you worry, you still called us all up so late?

But on the surface, the Minister of the Interior still made a very nervous look, "In July 1012 of the Imperial Calendar, the Millai Library produced this star scholar, but now it is December 7 of the Imperial Calendar, unless Millai Library The museum is willing to announce the identity of the Star University scholar, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find him."

If the Millais Library was willing to disclose the news to the Pansy Empire, it would not have informed them of the birth of a new scholar at this time.

The Home Secretary is talking nonsense.

Prince Xiben's expression was not very good, he turned his head to Prime Minister Colvin again, and asked, "What do you think, Prime Minister?"

Prince Nishimoto is still very afraid of this prime minister.His father, His Majesty Ludwig IV, is not a faint king. Apart from favoring the kid in Aachen too much, he doesn't care much about him. He gave him a chance to grow up. His Majesty Ludwig IV can be called a A wise monarch.But Colvin, a small man from a declining aristocrat, took the position of Prime Minister when he was less than 40 years old. After sitting for many years, he had to be admitted that he was superior.

Even though the Prime Minister’s youngest son, Christian Colvin, had a good relationship with Prince Aachen, and he did not hesitate to sever ties with the family in order to follow Prince Aachen, Prince Nishimoto still retained the position of Prime Minister after the regency. For the sake of the stability of the imperial officialdom.

Prime Minister Colvin thought for a while, and said: "More than 800 years ago, the University of Millais was born. At that time, the Finger Empire was just established. It was the best time for the Pansy Empire to take back the land east of the Prin Mountains. The two empires were at war. Flying, the University of Millais made a connection through the magic island, which contributed to the reconciliation of the two empires.

More than 700 years ago, Lord Auguste Coorser became a scholar of the Guangming University. His appearance prevented the empire from falling into the hands of the enemy, and at the same time ended the Murphy family's rule over the Pansy Empire, allowing the empire to return to its original state. In the hands of the blood of the Koorser family.

There have only been two titled university scholars in the Millais library, and this is the third one now.His Highness is worried that this star scholar will bring unpredictable changes to the two empires. "

Prime Minister Corvin has finally hit the mark.

Prince Xiben agreed: "I just don't know whether the birth of the star scholar will affect the Finger Empire or the Pansy Empire."

Prime Minister Colvin exhorted: "Your Highness, the great scholars in the Millais Library are born as the times require, and cannot be predicted or blocked by our human resources."

Prince Xiben didn't want to listen to that star-fate rhetoric, if he was a person who followed the rules, he would not be sitting here now.

"No, if I want to find a star scholar, I must take the future into my own hands." Prince Xiben said.

The four ministers all understood Prince Xiben's character, they didn't try to persuade him any more, they all stood up from their seats, and respectfully said, "I obey, Your Highness."
