Skeleton King

After being stabbed by the Dragon King's dagger, Ace fell into a coma.I don't know if he heard Nuo Ou's last words.

Noel took Ace directly to the cellar of the Duke Green's mansion, and there was a small secret room in the innermost part of the cellar.Except for some dry grass on the ground and a small round hole the size of a fingernail at the top of the wall for ventilation, the rest of the secret room is empty with nothing.

Noou walked to the edge of the secret room, there was an iron ring on the wall, he took out a long chain from the space ring, passed it through the iron ring, and handcuffed it to Ace's hand.

During the whole process, Nuoou was extremely silent.

Ace was completely in a coma. Even when Nou pulled out the Dragon King's dagger from his chest and applied medicinal powder to stop the bleeding, he didn't move.

Nou carefully put Ace on the ground, looking at the chains on his hands, his expression was unclear.He said lightly: "Let's recuperate well here. No one will come."

Ace slowly opened his eyes, the green pupils were unusually clear, obviously not as if he had just woken up.

Ace mocked lightly, "You know I'm just pretending?" He stretched out his hand and shook the chain, feeling that the magic power in his body was passing away with the chain, and he felt that the trick was, "There are stars in this chain." Stone, the magician's greatest nemesis, it seems that you have prepared for it." Ace never thought that he would fall on the Star Stone twice at the same time.

Nou purposely handcuffed him with chains before pulling out the Dragon King's dagger from him, just to prevent him from escaping, right?

The Dragon King's dagger is a rare weapon with the attribute of destroying demons. If it hurts, even the magician will be seriously injured.This is the weapon that all swordsmen dream of, and it was a gift from Ace to Nou not long ago.

Ace really didn't expect that the first time Noou used it was on himself.

Nuo Ou naturally knew that Ace was faking it, and usually Ace would hum in his sleep for such an injury.He knew him so well, but he would still be deceived by him.

Seeing that Noou didn't speak, Ace said again: "Duke Green, what do you mean by stabbing me and leaving me here?"

When Ace said "Duke Green", Nou's eyes darkened.He didn't look at Ace, but looked elsewhere, and said, "If not, would you like to stay here?"

Ace said, "What do you want me to do here?" If it wasn't for Nuoou, why would he stay in the imperial capital?

Noou suddenly squatted down. The distance between him and Ace was extremely close. Even in a dark environment like the secret room, he could see Ace's long eyelashes clearly. He said, "You don't think you did anything wrong. ?"

Ace was silent.It may be because of his previous life experience, or because of his identity as the Skeleton King. Most people on this plane of Asbi value life, and every independent life is priceless to him.

Because of this, the innocent civilians who died in the eastern plains of Louisiana Province tortured him even more.What Ace hated was not the punishment he was about to receive, but the person who drew the knife on him, the person he least expected.

That was a more painful wound than the one caused by the Dragon King's dagger.

It was because he had suffered even this injury that he no longer felt unbearable when Nuoou drew his sword.What injury is more painful than an injury in the heart?He originally thought that Nuoou would understand him, at least give him a chance to defend himself.How did Konoo do it?Worried that he will run away, so attack him when he is defenseless.

Ace was disheartened, and he no longer wanted to defend himself, "You have already convicted me, so is it meaningful to ask these questions?"

"It's meaningful. Keeping you here is to give you a chance to repent for the civilians who died on the eastern plains of Louisiana Province." Noou stood up and walked to the door of the secret room, "You can stay here with peace of mind .Here you will not be harmed otherwise."

The door of the secret room was slammed shut.Ace frowned recalling Noou's last words.

……

When Nou left the cellar of Duke Green's mansion, the sky was slightly bright, and only a few servants walked to the kitchen with firewood.When they saw Nuoou, they saluted in fear and trepidation, and left in a hurry.

Nuo Ou stood in the garden, thought for a while, and saw the old butler walking towards him slowly.Before the old housekeeper approached, Nuo Ou said: "I'm going to the palace. Tell Bernadette, don't wait for me to have breakfast." Then, without waiting for the groom to help, he changed into the Gale Horse, and ran to the palace.

When Noel arrived at the palace, Prince Xiben and Earl Marina Homer were still in the conference hall, discussing how to capture Ace.Jacob, the envoy of Magic Island, was also invited to the palace by them, and he was currently living in the palace behind the meeting hall.

Lady Claudia was the bait that Prince Sibbon laid down.Prince Xiben had also been to the training camp of the Georgia Provincial Knights and observed their trials in the port of Nice.He knew that Ace had a good relationship with David Richter, and he had obtained enough information about Ace from Rose Castle.

Noel still remembers what Prince Xiben said at the time, "Ace Neumann is still too young. Young people are always reckless and impulsive. At that time, no matter if he does something to Lady Claudia in the Duke Green's mansion, or through Dead Realm, go to Earl Richter's Mansion, we all have evidence that he is an undead mage. I hope he doesn't do it in the Duke Green's Mansion, the imperial capital has already been laid by us, as long as he enters the Dead Realm, then Come out, Jacob's star map can lock him. At that time, even if he wants to escape, it will be impossible to transform into a lich."

On the contrary, if Ace does something in the Duke Green's mansion, as long as he does not open the gate of the dead world, Jacob, the envoy of the magic island, cannot lock him with the star map.At that time, if Ace is allowed to escape, even if Ace is killed by them, as long as they fail to accept Ace's soul fire, Ace may go to the dead world and transform into a lich.With a lich as an enemy, Prince Xiben must have trouble sleeping and eating.

"It's a pity, Mrs. Claudia." Prince Xiben's expression was indifferent.It is good for the Richter family to be loyal to him, but Mrs. Claudia herself has no talent.Although Mrs. Claudia is a rare beauty, but Prince Xiben has his own heart, she is not very attractive to Prince Xiben, nor can she arouse his pity.

Sometimes, even Prince Xiben's cousin, Marina Homer, would wonder whether Prince Xiben was a puppet of astrology. Apart from his fanatical pursuit of power, nothing could affect his emotions.

Of course, that doesn't include Angelica.

Strange to say, the reason why Marina Homer assisted Prince Xiben wholeheartedly had something to do with Angelica.Different from the thoughts of several ministers, Marina Homer felt that compared with the emotionless king, a person with weaknesses and true feelings is more worthy of allegiance.Because he will not easily throw away his subordinates.A vase as empty and beautiful as Mrs. Claudia is naturally not in the subordinate category of Prince Xiben delineated by Marina Homer.

Therefore, when Ace left from the Duke Green's mansion, Nou was released from Rose Castle by Prince Xiben.

After listening to Angelica's words, Prince Xiben had more trust and doubts in Nou.He judges others by himself, only thinking that Nuo Ou has unrequited love for Ace, and Ace has no idea of ​​Nuo Ou's intentions at all. If he knows these things, Ace will definitely break up with Nuo Ou; Using Nou, otherwise why did the Skull Knights choose the eastern plains of the Louisiana province?

Regardless of the possibility, if Nuoou wants to achieve his wish, he will not want Ace to return to the dead world.

But in case Noou goes crazy, just tell Ace their plan, and Prince Xiben will kill Noou, so what's the point of taking back the Green family's fiefdom?

So when Jacob locked Ace with the star map, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and Nou saw Ace again.This is also because Prince Xiben worried that Nou's absence all night would arouse Ace's suspicion, so he made a fool of himself.

Noel walked to the meeting hall and saw that Prince Xiben and Earl Marina Homer did not bow as usual, but directly knelt on one knee.

Prince Xiben was discussing with Earl Marina Homer to invite several wizards to surround the Duke Green's mansion.Even with the help of Jacob, Ace can't go back to the world of the dead. He is also a necromancer, and he may be a swordsman who has controlled pansy fighting spirit and is not low in level.If it aroused Ace's vigilance, he contacted the dead world and let the skeleton knights surround the imperial capital. Even if Prince Nishimoto and the others could kill Ace, the imperial capital would suffer heavy losses.

According to Prince Xiben, except for the light mage who must sit in the palace, everyone else must go to the Duke Green's mansion.

They have been discussing all night, Prince Xiben is a sword master, and Earl Marina Homer is also a seventh-level swordsman. This time will not affect their energy.

They plan to do it at noon, which is the time when the magical elements of the light attribute are most active every day, and it is also when Ace is weakest.Just when Prince Xiben felt that their plans were similar, he saw Nou walking in from the outside.

Prince Xiben looked at Nou in front of him. No matter when he was paying homage to him or kneeling in front of him now, Nou's back was straight.Real talents are unruly, and Prince Nuoou is willing to give Nuoou more patience.

Not including this sensitive moment.

If Nuoou pleaded for Ace ignorantly and asked Prince Xiben to let the tiger go back to the mountain, Prince Xiben would open Nuo's heart to see where he was on.

Prince Xiben's tone was gentle, "Nuoou, what are you doing here so early?"

Noou still knelt on the ground on one knee, but raised his head, and looked at Prince Xiben's green eyes, which were very similar to Ace, and he said: "Ace Neumann has been imprisoned by me in Duke Green. The cellar of the mansion."

Nou's words were far beyond Prince Xiben's expectations.If Nou had really captured Ace, it would save Prince Xiben a lot of trouble.

Prince Xiben said, "What do you mean by that?"

Nou said: "Your Highness, please allow me to be Ace Neumann's guard."
