Skeleton King
Chapter 196 One day before complete blackening
The corridor of Duke Green's mansion was quiet, only the sound of Nuoou stepping on the floor and walking quickly.
What Mellon University scholar said just now echoed in Nou’s ears, “The Millais library was originally filled with people who were sentenced to death, and they were exiled to the isolated island in the south, and some of them escaped quietly during the exile. But they are all wanted by the empire, homeless, and supposedly dead, so they have to stay in a small fishing village on the coast of the Netherlands, which is also the predecessor of the port of Nice."
Nou asked, "What crime did they commit?"
"Sin? That's not a crime." The voice of a Mellon scholar is cold and indifferent. Most powerful forces are not born on the soil of ambition, but bloom on the blood of innocent people. This is the case in the Millais library. The same is true of Magic Island, "They are just different in nature and just happen to fall in love with people of the same gender as them."
Nuoou walked faster and faster, and when he reached Ace's room, he even forgot to knock on the door and pushed him away.
Nuo Ou still had the phantom of a few minutes ago in his eyes, and the Mellon University scholar told him, "Later, the collection of books in the Millais Library increased, and its reputation grew, and many people came here to study, Millais Books People in the library do not want to keep them out, and do not want future generations to forget the history, so they use university scholars and scholars to distinguish the two. University scholars are people who are "criminal" with them."
Nuo Ou directly walked over the small study room outside the guest bedroom and walked towards the bedroom.He didn't know what he wanted to do when he ran over so impulsively, what he wanted to say to Ace, but at this moment, he wanted to see Ace very much.
"Ace." Nou stepped into the bedroom, only to remember that he hadn't figured out how to explain his sudden visit to Ace, his throat seemed to be stuck and he couldn't make any sound.
Ace's bedroom is empty.There was a cold wind blowing in from the open window, and the bright moon outside the window was covered by dark clouds, only sporadic stars gave off faint light.There were no creases on the sky-blue bed sheet, as it had been laid by the maid in the morning, only a cute astrological doll lay lifelessly on the pillow.
……
city that never sleeps.
In the Skeleton King's palace.Ace was sitting on the dark throne, and little Daniel was sleeping soundly on the armrest of the throne.Under the steps, General Arnold, Bill, and Alter stood in front, followed by Lord Reagan, Lord Bacon and other skeleton knights.
Ace suddenly appeared in the city that never sleeps, and there are so many undead lords in the city that never sleeps. Naturally, something difficult happened in the city that never sleeps.
When Ace got the news, he was so angry that he directly rewarded Art and Bill with two bricks.It's a pity that he didn't have bricks at hand, only little Daniel was lying on the armrest of the Dark Throne, which calmed Ace a little.
At this moment, Art and Bill are not feeling well standing under the steps.They thought they would wait for Ace's thunderous fury, but after Ace arrived in the city that never sleeps, he neither frightened them with anger, nor said that he would punish them.This made them feel even worse.
Ace sat on the Dark Throne with an unpredictable expression, showing no emotion or anger.
It was Alter who knelt down on one knee first, and said: "Alter is not doing well, please punish him, Your Highness." Bill stood beside him, lowering his head, so that people could not see his expression clearly.
Ace waited for Art to kneel enough, and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Ace had just had tea and was about to meditate on magic, when he received an urgent message from General Arnold, "The magic circle protecting the city that never sleeps has been broken, please return quickly, Your Highness."
With the black gem veins as the core, 81 magic towers as the hub, and Eternal Night City as its back, Ace really couldn't figure out how the magic circle in the Nightless City would be broken? !The nameless sword master still needs to cultivate for a hundred years in the sea of dead souls because of his serious injuries? !
"I was careless." Alter took the initiative to take the responsibility on himself. Although there were many coincidences in the occurrence of this incident, Alter will never defend himself. "Earlier today, Bill returned The city that never sleeps. The nameless sword master, Bill and I just want to see those people from the magic island, and if we confirm their identities, we will bring them to the city of eternal night, so as to know the plan of the magic island.”
Everything is going smooth.
The leader of these people is a level nine swordsman, and he looks injured.Alter and the others observed these people for a long time before confirming their identities.
Bill shot directly and brought them back to Eternal Night City with ease.Because Bill accidentally killed the black magician last time, this time it was the people of Magic Island who were interrogated by Bill and Art together.
It's hard to say that the Twin Cities don't pay much attention to the people from Magic Island, but the development of the matter far exceeded their expectations.
The swordsman fell to the ground because of his injuries, and before Art and Bill asked, he shook off what he knew, "Are you from the city that never sleeps? No, we are not here to trouble the city that never sleeps. We are Those who come to avoid being chased and killed, you must be careful, people from the small plane have followed us to the city that never sleeps."
"Small plane?" Bill murmured, not knowing why.
"Damn it!" General Arnold knew something was wrong, and rushed back to the city that never sleeps, but it was still too late.
Alter and the Unnamed Sword Saint discovered abnormal fighting energy fluctuations in the Nightless City. Two Juggernauts covered in runes somehow avoided the surveillance of the magic circle and appeared directly in the Nightless City.They walked around twice in the house where the people from the original magic island stayed, but they couldn't find anyone, so they broke into the nearby houses directly, and blood flowed like rivers wherever they passed.
Alter and the nameless sword master would naturally not allow other people to slaughter in the city that never sleeps, and they fought directly in the sky above the city that never sleeps.
Although there is a magic circle to assist, but because the ground is full of civilians, Alter and the others cannot use magic that is too lethal.The Unnamed Sword Master is an assassin, good at assassination, and he is not an opponent of other sword masters in frontal attacks.Although Alter has outstanding talent and a solid foundation, General Arnold and the Unnamed Sword Master think that he will not be too long away from the Sword Master, but Alter is still a ninth-level swordsman.
Alter knelt on one knee on the ground, feeling his mouth was dry. The scene he saw not long ago seemed like the end, and he still couldn't get rid of it.
Alt said: "We fought very hard at the beginning of this battle. Fortunately, the Nightless Knights quickly assembled and the magic circle was activated. We gradually gained the upper hand. We killed a sword that entered the city. Saint, just when the nameless sword master was about to kill another sword master..."
At that time, although Art was seriously injured, he was in a good mood. He had just pierced through the heart of a Juggernaut with his epee.He loved fighting, and he loved watching the blood of his enemies flow from the groove of his sword, not to mention that another sword master was about to die by their sword.
But just when Alt and the unknown sword master felt that they had the chance to win, and all the lights on the magic circle were lit up, the other sword master also knew that he could not escape.The black runes on his body began to squirm like long worms.
Alter and the nameless sword master felt weird, they stepped up their attacks, but...
Alter's voice was heavy, "We failed to stop him."
As the runes on the alien Juggernaut's body changed more and more violently, his body also swelled up like a balloon. "No, he's going to blow himself up!" The nameless sword master didn't know the use of those runes, but he was the only holy assassin on the mainland, and his understanding of the subtle changes in fighting spirit was not comparable to that of ordinary sword masters.
He quickly understood the intention of the foreign Juggernaut.
Arte said: "The color of the fighting spirit on that Juggernaut is black, not any talent fighting spirit we have recorded. Any fighting spirit coming out of his body seems to have its own consciousness, and it will automatically entangle the living people in the city .In just a few breaths, all swordsmen below the fourth level will be killed."
The previous battle has already consumed most of the fighting spirit of the foreign sword master, but his remaining fighting spirit is still enough to be divided into thousands of threads. If he is allowed to blew up, not to mention the lethality caused by his self-destruction to Art and the nameless sword master, it is those who The dou qi leaked out could instantly take the lives of tens of thousands of civilians in the city that never sleeps.
"There is no other way." The Unnamed Sword Saint murmured.
The unknown sword master didn't wait for Alt to stop him, and directly dodged behind the foreign sword master. The foreign sword master felt someone behind him, and the grudge on his body broke through the threshold in an instant, and he was about to explode into a black firework in the air.
He was hugged tightly by the unknown sword master, whose hands imprisoned him like steel, and led him directly into the magic tower.
Alt said: "The nameless sword master used the method of dying together, but he is now a lich, he did not die, and was taken to the world of death by General Arnold."
Ace stepped down from the throne, passed Alt and Bill, and General Arnold followed behind Ace. Little Daniel felt the heat source leave, and drifted in the direction of Ace in a daze.
Ace stood at the highest point in the city that never sleeps, the peak of the Lord of Chaos Mountain City, where the old Skeleton King's palace is now.Looking down from here, Ace can overlook the entire city that never sleeps.
But this city, which was more prosperous at night than the imperial capitals of the two empires, has now turned into a mess.Constant wailing came from the foot of the mountain, and there were ruins everywhere. The dust and smoke covered people's eyes, making them unable to see the way forward.At the end of Ace's line of sight, there is a nine-story magic tower with only three floors left, even revealing the gems embedded in the magic circle.
"The nameless sword master prevented a crisis with his life." But he brought a foreign sword master into the magic tower and completely destroyed this part of the magic circle, which in turn affected the magic circle in the entire city that never sleeps.Ace said: "He certainly didn't expect that the support from Magic Island would arrive tonight. They found traces of swordsmen from the small plane here, and they regarded us as the base camp of the small plane in this world. .”
Ace didn't blame the unknown sword master, tens of thousands of lives and damage to a single magic tower, even if Ace was present, he might not be able to make a better choice.
The Unnamed Sword Master has lived here for hundreds of years, and he has deep feelings for this place.Ace would never blame those who guarded his homeland.
But the thing is so unfortunate that Magic Island sent 10 holy-level powerhouses, including 6 wizards and 4 sword masters.They are now outside the city that never sleeps, and they want to directly break through the magic circle of the city that never sleeps.
General Arnold said: "Your Highness, about the small plane..."
Ace stopped what he was about to say, "The most critical issue now is not the small plane. It is the people from the Magic Island who have arrived in the city that never sleeps, and they directly attack our formation without asking why; Lead them to the largest and most densely populated city in the Territory of Chaos, where they do not regard the lives of people as their own."
General Arnold knew that Ace was extremely angry, but he was responsible and had to advise Ace, "The people who hid in the city that never sleeps before the magic island are still in the city of night. Misunderstand."
"No." Ace said softly.His tone was a bit strange, rising slightly, and he couldn't hear any anger at all, but General Arnold felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
Ace said: "Why should I have peace talks with them? Our last chance for peace talks is when their people lead people from the small plane into the city that never sleeps. As long as they send someone to inform us at that time, everything that happened in the city that never sleeps today It's not going to happen. They have been here for more than half a month, have they tried to contact us?"
"They didn't come with goodwill, and it's impossible to get goodwill here." There was no room for turning back in Ace's words.
General Arnold didn't persuade him anymore, no matter what the way ahead, he would follow His Highness.
At this time, Ace's voice spread throughout the city that never sleeps, "Dead souls of the city that never sleeps, you may have seen me in this city, or you may not. You have met me on the street before, and you may not recognize me , but I think after your death, now, you all know my identity.
I am a necromancer, the king of the city that never sleeps in this world and the city of eternal night in the dead world.You are my people in life and in death, and Skeleton King will never let his people die innocently.
Now I hand over the choice to you.Outside the magic circle in the city that never sleeps are the holy rank powerhouses of the magic island. There are a total of 10 of them. It is their companions who brought your murderers to the city that never sleeps. They use us as cannon fodder and a swamp to slow down their enemies.Even now, they have no shame and are self-righteous.
I am King of the Twin Cities and I respect the opinions of my people.If you are willing to forgive them, please return your souls to the realm of the dead, Eternal Night City is your eternal harbor; if you resent them, Skeleton King allows you to return to your body, use your knives, swords, spears, Arrows testify to your unyielding souls. "
Under the watchful eyes of General Ace and Arnold, amidst the weeping tears of the civilians who lost their loved ones, the corpses lying on the ground opened their eyes again. They picked up the weapons around them and slowly stood up , slowly walked outside the formation.
What Mellon University scholar said just now echoed in Nou’s ears, “The Millais library was originally filled with people who were sentenced to death, and they were exiled to the isolated island in the south, and some of them escaped quietly during the exile. But they are all wanted by the empire, homeless, and supposedly dead, so they have to stay in a small fishing village on the coast of the Netherlands, which is also the predecessor of the port of Nice."
