Skeleton King

"I mentioned it." Sykes said calmly, "He said he missed you very much. He didn't let me say it. He said he would come to Long Island by himself to find you. But I think you should know."

Sykes thought that many years ago, when he was still ignorant, he had seen such waiting.At that time, if Caroline had received news from Heinrich Richter, even a simple letter, to prove that her existence had not been forgotten, would she have waited more firmly.If other things didn't happen, wouldn't even Ace be there.

When possible, probably not.

That's why, no matter how flamboyant Sykes was, he never said "wait for me" to any young girl.Even if you can get a good result, waiting is exhausting, not to mention that most of the waiting in this world is lonely and hopeless.

Sykes didn't know when Ace sent the little dragon in front of him to Long Island, but he could probably understand Ace's mood.The life of the dragon clan is too long, and a century of human beings is just a short time for them.Unless Ace has broken through as a mage and is sure that he can transform into a lich after death, he will not let the dragon wait for him.

This is Ace's love for the little dragon he raised with his own hands.

But Sykes still wants to tell the dragon boy in front of him, "You may have stayed in the small plane all these years. I know you must have experienced many dangers, but no amount of killing can increase your understanding of human beings. Human thinking is It’s very mysterious, he doesn’t necessarily love you by keeping you by his side; it doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t love you by letting you go. Protecting you when you were young is a kind of love; not restraining you when you need to fly in the blue sky is also a kind of love. kind of love."

Hearing Sykes speak so bluntly, Norn's eyes were red, and he tried his best not to let the words be filled with resentment and grievance, but his voice still became unusual, "But, what about my thoughts?"

Sykes walked into Norn slowly, trying to comfort him, "Your thoughts at the beginning may not be the same as your thoughts after thousands of years. Because of love, I care; because I care, Ace does what he thinks is right for you. the best choice."

But before Sykes approached Norn, he was shocked by Norn's eyes.

Dragons are the most powerful race on this continent. Their soft flesh is protected by layers of scales. They are inherently powerful, and even humans rarely get close to them.Humans rarely see the fragility of dragons, even when they are injured.

Sykes had a bad feeling when he saw Norn's eyes.

The golden fighting spirit surrounded Norn, and the secret places of Dragon Island shook. After a thousand years of silence, the secret places welcomed back their most powerful bloodline - the golden dragon.Sykes could feel that the power was constantly pouring into the Norn from the secret place, and there was no doubt that the Norn's strength in the secret place of Dragon Island would be stronger than the outside.

Norn gradually grew bigger, and its golden wings covered the sun. Compared with the last time Sykes saw it, Norn's body grew a little bit.

The voice of the dragon-shaped Norn was even deeper, "I heard that you signed a dragon knight contract with Alice. If you want to take her out of Dragon Island, you must accept the challenge of the green dragon, red dragon, and blue dragon. Your current strength is not enough. Not enough, let me be your opponent here and train with you."

Sykes felt the rising aura of Norn, the strength of Norn in the secret place of Dragon Island was comparable to that of an adult dragon!Coupled with the natural coercion of the golden dragon, Sykes couldn't imagine if he was hit by Norn's claws, would he still be able to remain a human figure.

Sykes quickly ran back a few steps, avoiding the wanton fighting spirit of the golden dragon, and he spoke very fast: "The real opponent should be two people who are evenly matched! Your strength completely crushes me! This It's not training at all!"

Norn ignored him.

Sykes gritted his teeth and shouted: "You go to Ace!!!"

It was Norn's flapping of wings toward his head that answered Sikes.

……

The mountain city of the Lord of Chaos.

During the day, the streets on the main mountain city became orderly, but much more lonely than before.Many people have already gone to settle in several other hills because they could not accept the rules set by the new city lord.

But at night, it turned into another scene.

Let Alt say that he has never seen a city on the mainland that is as extravagant as the main mountain city of the Territory of Chaos.The magic lamp starts from the foot of the mountain, and all the streets in the whole city, both populated and unoccupied, are lit up. Looking here from other hills is like seeing another plane. The night view is unbelievably beautiful.Now the way the Territory of Chaos coaxes children is to show them the scenery of the Territory of Chaos at night.

You must know that people have very few night activities now.Many people still insist on the lifestyle of sunrise and sunset, but most people in the Territory of Chaos prefer night to day.But they never thought that the night could look like this.

A few days ago, Ace brought back the Skeleton King's palace from the Necromancer Sea, but he did not bring the palace to Eternal Night City. The cities near Eternal Night City have already sworn allegiance to Ace.Eternal Night City is safe and sound.

Ace placed the Skeleton King's palace on the peak of the main mountain city of the Territory of Chaos, the original location of the City Lord's Mansion.Ace brought the Lich Ingersoll to the main mountain city. They used the small undead sea as the source of power, and worked together to create a cross-plane teleportation array in the Skeleton King's palace, and established the main mountain city and Eternal Night City. connect.

Even when Ace left the main mountain city, Alt and the others relied on this cross-plane teleportation array to continuously transport skeleton soldiers from Eternal Night City.

There are ignorant people who call the palace of the Skeleton King who suddenly came into the world a "miracle" and worship it day and night.

People outside the realm of chaos understand that there are mages sitting in the mountain city of the lord of chaos. After observing the scale and coercion of the palace at close range, some people think that the owner of the palace is a more powerful existence than the mages—the Holy Demon Mentor.

A rich, unborn holy mage came to the main mountain city of the Territory of Chaos. He liked it and wanted to transform it so that the main mountain city could get rid of the name of hooligans and become a paradise for all gentlemen and noble ladies to have fun. .I don't know when, this kind of saying spread in the Territory of Chaos and the borders of the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire.

What left Art speechless was that many people really believed it.

In the past few months, some strange free magicians and free swordsmen have gradually appeared on the main mountain city, and even some well-known strong men from the Finger Empire, Pansy Empire, and Magic Island.

Some of them wanted to get advice from the holy wizard, and some heard that rare materials would appear in the auction in the main mountain city, but when they arrived here, they were all attracted by the luxurious city in front of them.No one will be disappointed in this quirky city.

These days, several bards have been seen one after another on the streets of the main mountain city.When they had had a good look at the city, they wrote songs that spread throughout the continent about the miraculous changes in the Territory of Chaos.

There are the most beautiful and enthusiastic girls in the window of the street, and there are countless gold coins in the casino. As long as you are lucky enough, you can win hundreds of thousands of gold coins in half a night.And as long as you have enough money, you can even hire a mercenary group on the mountain to go to the World of Warcraft Forest to hunt down level [-] monsters. The best chefs from the two empires gather here. People in the city can't finish eating for three days and three nights.

Countless people lose their fortunes or get rich overnight here every day.

But there are countless people flocking here every day, and they all firmly believe that they are the latter, the lucky one.

As long as you have money, you can enjoy the treatment of a king here and do whatever you want.Because this is the Territory of Chaos, there is no order, and it is a place where the laws of the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire cannot be enforced.

This is a city that never sleeps.

In the ballads spread across the continent, all the bards call this place the city that never sleeps.

……

Northwest of the Pansy Empire.

There is a small town on the edge of the desolate Gobi. Before dawn, there was a long queue at the entrance of a small medical clinic. The old couple in front entered the hospital.

The old man helped his wife and staggered in. People from the Northwest Frontier are notoriously hot-tempered, but no one urged them, and the indifferent young man who opened the door just now did not show any signs of impatience.

Everyone was quiet, and when the old couple entered, they took a few steps forward one by one.

Some passers-by were surprised to see this scene, grabbed the nearby shopkeeper and asked, "What is this? Could it be that some scholars have come to the Northwest?" The desolation of Xiben is famous throughout the Pansy Empire. The large desert, that is, the oasis in the desert is rich in herbs, and there are very few scholars with medical knowledge here. Except for a few commonly used ones, most of them can't recognize them.

The valuable herbal medicines were discarded casually, and they were starved to death.There's so much going on in the Northwest of the Pansy Empire that even the best-hearted scholar doesn't stay here all year round.

"No. A young couple came and said they were looking for relatives, but they couldn't find them. The neighbor kindly borrowed them a place to stay. The young wife wore a veil all the year round, and she didn't know what she looked like. It turned out that she was a doctor. , Someone on the street vomited blood last month. She found some herbal medicine, and she recovered. Later, more and more people came to her for treatment, and it spread all over the city. Judging from your accent, it should be from our neighborhood Yes. You haven’t been in the city recently, have you? I have to know.” The owner of the earlier shop shook his head and said, “It’s really strange. There is no patient she can’t cure yet.”

Passers-by were stunned: "Oh, oh, I really hope she doesn't leave when she comes. The Northwest is so barren, and it's hard to find a doctor and often go away with those southerners."

The owner of the earlier shop sighed: "Isn't it? If it weren't for the roots here."

The passer-by asked again: "Do you know the names of their husband and wife? If I get injured next time I go out of the city."

The owner of the early shop said: "I only heard that man call his wife Fen Fuer."

The passers-by's voice was very soft, and the shop owner didn't hear what he was talking about earlier. He said to himself: "Fen Fuer? Impossible? Should it be the same name? How could she come to the northwest?"

……

In the eastern plains of the Louisiana province, there is already a beautiful convoy parked outside Green Castle.

Nuo helped Bernadette into the car. Regardless of everyone's puzzled eyes, Nuo ordered the team to rest on the spot for a long time, until the sun was high, and Nuo slowly rode on the wind horse and looked back. With the eyes of the monster forest, he said lightly: "Let's go."

Noel ordered his attendants to arrange two large carriages, one was for Bernadette, and the other was thought to be for himself.

As a result, Nou finally rode the horse.Seeing this scene, the old man in Green Castle couldn't help but sigh: "It's a descendant of the Green family." The young man only said that Nuoou prepared the carriage because he wanted to rest in the carriage when he was bored of riding.

No one knows what Nuo Ou is thinking now, "Are you not coming?"

When the day for Nou and Bernadette to go to the imperial capital was fixed, Nou sent a message to Ace through the astrology doll, but Ace didn't reply for a long time.

Until today, which is the day of departure mentioned in the letter.

Nuo Ou glanced at the Demonic Beast Forest for the last time. The Demonic Beast Forest had completely disappeared on the horizon. His lips were pursed like a line. At this moment, Nuo Ou heard a familiar voice from the carriage he was preparing, "Nuoou, won't you get in the carriage?"

Nou looked at the window of the carriage in surprise, and a dark head poked out from inside.

Ace's smile was bright, and he was holding the astrology doll that had accompanied Noou for a whole year. Of course, Ace asked what he said just now.

Nou: "When did you come?"

Through the gate of the dead world, he fell directly into the carriage and fell on his back.This certainly cannot be said.At this time, Nou was riding the Gale Horse beside Ace's carriage. No one noticed that they were talking, nor did they notice that there were more people in the convoy. "It's strange that I came out suddenly. I thought you were going to get into the carriage."

Ace smiled brightly, his white teeth gleaming in the sun, "Aren't you coming up?"
