Skeleton King

Princess Bernadette was still wearing the long black gauze dress that Nuo Ou had when she went out in the morning. When Nou returned to the Duke of Green's mansion, her face was flushed and she looked much happier than in the morning. Even the maid of the Duke of Green's mansion The attendants seemed to be more cheerful.

Princess Bernadette lifted her skirt with her hands, and trotted to Nou with a smile, "Brother, I must personally tell you the good news."

Back at the Duke's Mansion, Nuo Ou felt that the exhaustion that had swept him all day disappeared instantly, and his voice was gentle, "What news?"

Princess Bernadette looked back and said happily: "The people from Magic Island brought a crystal ball to test just now. Ace, his affinity for water elements is at full level!"

At this time, Ace just walked behind Princess Bernadette, and he didn't seem very surprised.Nou said, "Congratulations."

Ace smiled at him.

Princess Bernadette continued: "People from Magic Island even invited Ace to go back with him. When Ace arrives on Magic Island, maybe a wizard will accept him as a student."

Nou looked at Ace in surprise.Ace smiled flatly, and said, "Great kindness is hard to turn down."

What Ace said was not polite.Even in Magic Island, there are no more than five fingers who have reached the full level of affinity for a certain magic element. The people who brought the crystal ball to test this time were naturally overjoyed when they saw Ace.But what others didn't expect was that Ace declined the opportunity to study on the magic island.

The persuasion by the people of Magic Island was ineffective, so they wanted Ace to see Jacob again.If Jacob can't convince Ace, they can only give up.Although Ace barely concealed the traces of the dark magic element on his body with the strength of the mage, only his original perception of the water element remained.But if he saw Jacob, all this would be ruined.

Ace couldn't explain to Jacob how Prince Phil of the Finger Empire came to the Pansy Empire. He was the eldest son of Viscount Neumann, a friend of Duke Green, and a scholar.Even Ace can't see through Jacob's strength.If Jacob was in the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire at that time, Ace wouldn't dare to break through the holy steps in the suburbs carelessly.

Jacob will stay in the imperial capital for a month. At that time, regardless of whether General Arnold and the others can send back the soul fire in the Louisiana province, he will tell Nou everything and then leave.

As for the matter of going to the magic island, it is naturally impossible to come true.

Nou didn't know what Ace was thinking, so he just said: "That's fine, I've already advanced to level 9. After the matter in the imperial capital is over, I may also go to the magic island to retreat, hoping to break through the sword master. By then you will Studying on Magic Island, we can meet often."

Before Ace could speak, Princess Bernadette said cautiously, "Brother, are you leaving again?"

Nou smiled at her, and said: "Every level 9 swordsman will try his best to break through the bottleneck when facing a bottleneck, and the place with the most inheritance is the magic island. But don't worry, my brother will definitely watch you get married. I left. Anyway, Ace will stay on Magic Island for decades."

Ace said: "Why do I have to stay on the magic island for decades? Are you saying that it will take me so long to become a teacher?"

Princess Bernadette said dissatisfiedly: "Ah--brother is here to accompany Ace, and it looks like you picked up my sister in the stable!"

The small quarrel between Ace and Duke Bernadette added a lot of anger to the Duke Green's mansion. Noel looked at them with a smile in his eyes.But people can't just live with the people they love, they have to face many other things.

Nuo Ou said: "Come to my study, I have something to tell you."

There was warm black tea in the beautiful white porcelain cup, Nou dismissed the waiter, and sat on the sofa with Ace and the others.

Nuo's finger stroked the pattern of the white porcelain teacup, he hesitated, and told Ace and Princess Bernadette directly, "I just got the news in the palace, David Richter is in front of you. Died in a few days."

"Ah!" Princess Bernadette exclaimed.

Ace frowned slightly.

Princess Bernadette felt a little uncomfortable, and guessed: "Could it be the Skull Knights from the other day?"

Ace also "clicked" in his heart, and felt that it was impossible.Bill is making a new magic potion. He knows David Richter. If there is David Richter in the soul fire going to the dead world, Bill will tell him.

really.

Nou said in a cold tone, "No. But if Mrs. Claudia knew that the Skull Knights would soon invade the Louisiana Province, the cause of David Richter's death would be different. There are nobles hunting in the forest of monsters , injured him by mistake, the arrow went straight through the heart, and he died on the spot.”

"This is impossible! David Richter is a fourth-level knight. To break through his defense and kill him unconsciously, he must be at least a seventh-level knight." Princess Bernadette said.After David Richter's breakthrough, Noel held a ball at Green Castle to introduce them, and Princess Bernadette naturally understood that Noel wanted to match them up.

Although David Richter is not as handsome as Silver Sword Master Heinrich Richter and his eldest son Sykes Richter, the genes of the Richter family are very good. Here, David Richter is handsome.

Princess Bernadette naturally understands Noel's thoughts. David Richter will be Count Richter in the future, and he is worthy of her in terms of status; he and Noel have also stayed in the training camp of the Georgia Knights For six years, Nuo Ou understood his character; after getting married, she just wanted to go back to Green Castle to see, and it was only half a day's journey away.

It's a pity that Princess Bernadette really doesn't like him. She prefers a tall and handsome knight, even if her lover doesn't have a noble surname or a rich fiefdom.

As annoying as Noah's matchmaking was, Princess Bernadette did not think that David Richter would die.

Noah sighed.He was a little worried about Ace, Ace had always been soft-hearted, and David Richter had been close to Ace before.

Contrary to Nou's expectation, Ace didn't show too much sadness. He said, "It's not difficult to guess. Near the World of Warcraft Forest, David Richter is even in the fiefdom of the Richter family, allowing him to The one who died was naturally a member of Castle Richter. He had spent 8 years in the training camp of the Georgia Knights. Although he broke through level 4, his control over the family fief was far inferior to that of Lady Claudia.

He was only 12 years old when he left the province of Louisiana, and he was in the training camp of the Georgia Knights for so many years. Who could offend anyone?He is not the manager of the Richter family, and his death will not have much impact on the Richter family.Those who do this will not be enemies of the Richter family.It's just that his existence, his unexpected breakthrough, blocked someone's way. "

The more calm and angry Ace was, the more worried Nou was.

Everyone who knows Ace thinks that Ace has a good temper, and it seems that there is nothing worthy of his anger.In the training camp of the Georgia Knights, some people laughed at Ace as a follower, a softie, and was beaten by Noel in a corner, but Ace would catch them drinking and ask these little bastards if they were jealous that he had thighs to hug .

In Ace's words, "Everyone is level 3, but I am a level 3 who is idle and inexplicable. They have worked hard to cultivate. They eat bread and white sausage in the training camp every day, and sleep in the Chase bunk. , We have chefs who cook different dishes every day. When they are free, they can eat out and live in a big villa. When they are looking for a training partner, don’t they pray that Jerrold Horsley will team up with them, but I tied You're set. It's jealousy. I gotta drink with them and show off along the way."

In this way, Ace and Nuoou sang the red face and the bad face, and got along well in the Georgia Knights training camp.

But Nuo knew that Ace's magnanimity was only because he was confident that those people would not hurt him, nor those around him.Nou knows better that Ace has many secrets, and his strength is much stronger than what he shows.How can someone who can subdue the Territory of Chaos with bare hands be ordinary?

Mrs. Claudia is lawless, and directly using her brother's life as a stepping stone will definitely touch Ace's bottom line.

Nou put the cup of black tea on the table and pressed his hand on Ace's.

He said: "Ace, don't be impulsive, we understand this matter, don't the old Earl Richter understand? But the Silver Sword Master went to the magic island, and David Richter passed away again, he would not want to The white-haired person gave the black-haired person. If the old Earl Richter wanted to uphold justice, he would not ask Mrs. Claudia to be sealed. Prince Xiben has also recognized the status of Mrs. Claudia's heir .The justice you want to uphold is not justice for old Earl Richter."

There was a faint light in Ace's eyes, but he didn't speak.Nou knew that he didn't persuade Ace, but he didn't want Ace to do something to challenge the kingship.

Princess Bernadette felt a little restless, she looked at Ace and Noah's handshake, and shouted in her heart: Brothers, don't you think you are too close? !

Princess Bernadette left quickly, just as she had a ready-made excuse, "I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go back to my room first."

Nou naturally agreed, "Go to bed early, Bernadette, and have a good dream."

Princess Bernadette nodded and ran away.Nuo Ou looked at her back and said: "At this age, she still looks like this. If I let her marry to the imperial capital in the future, how can I rest assured?"

Ace leaned back on the sofa, he looked relaxed, and said, "You don't have to worry too much, I think Bernadette already has someone in mind. When we came to the Imperial Capital last time, Angelica told me , Bernadette was making a cape in the room..."

Nuo Ou had the feeling that her younger sister was missed, "How old was she at that time? She was only 14 years old! It must be a playboy who attacks such a noble girl!"

"Maybe they agree with each other." Ace muttered.Princess Bernadette grew up in Rose Castle. Although her reputation is not very good, she is so well-known that men cannot easily deceive her.

Nou glanced at him coldly.

Ace thought of something else, "Nuoou, you said just now that you wanted to go to the Magic Island to break through the Juggernaut?"

Nou said: "Yes. I didn't know about this at first. Prince Xiben told me that the magic element in the magic island is dozens of times stronger than other places in the mainland, and it can even reach a hundred times in the secret place. Xiben The prince is familiar with Jacob, allowing me to directly enter the secret place of the magic island. If I practice on the magic island, it may only take 1/10 of the original time to break through the sword master."

Ace looked at Nou, and said with great certainty: "Nou, unless you have no hope of breaking through in this life, otherwise you must not go to the magic island."

Nou asked puzzled, "Why?"

Ace said: "For so many years, so many level 9 powerhouses have gone to Magic Island, have you seen them come back? Yes, Jacob, and others will serve as envoys of Magic Island from time to time to the two empires, But have you seen them go back to their hometowns, to their loved ones?"

Most people are not as young as Nuoou and Sykes, who reached the bottleneck of the holy rank when they were less than 30.When they went to Magic Island, they were not full of children and grandchildren, but there were still beautiful wives and young children waiting in their hometown, just like Heinrich Richter back then.

The Silver Juggernaut raised Daikes so wholeheartedly, and from Sykes' words, he also had a deep-rooted affection for Mrs. Caroline.But even so, he didn't come back.

Ace knew that Magic Island must have secrets that were not revealed to outsiders.

Nou said: "But what ability does the magic island have to imprison a large number of holy ranks?" More than 90.00% of the holy ranks in this plane are in the magic island. No one can tell how many wizards and sword masters there are, and who can? To imprison the liberty of all of them?

Ace said: "I don't know yet. However, Sykes grew up on the Magic Island, and the Silver Sword Master was also on the Magic Island, but he broke through the holy rank on the Dragon Island. Disadvantages. I don't recommend you to go to Magic Island before you figure out these things."

Sykes?Nou never knew that Ace was so familiar with Captain Richter, he even called Captain Richter by his name directly.

Nou asked, "Then how do we figure this out?"

Ace said, "I'll ask Sykes."

Ace's natural tone made Noou a little uncomfortable. He said, "Since this is the secret of the magic island, how can Captain Richter say it?"

Ace was very sure, "Unless there is a magic contract on Magic Island that prohibits Sykes, he will definitely tell me."

When Nuo saw Ace mentioning Sykes, the imperceptible mood swings and deep trust in his eyes, he couldn't help but think of the conditions for becoming a university student told him by the Mellon University scholar.

The feeling that someone close to him was going to be taken away just now swept towards him again, but this time the storm was bigger, like a tsunami, which made him feel afraid.
