Skeleton King

Nou naturally doesn't think that Ace intends to become the king of the Pansy Empire.Ace is so lazy, how can he pretend so painstakingly, just for the throne that Prince Nishimoto has been coveting for many years?

Nou thought that when Ace was helping him with political affairs in Green Castle, all the secrets of the Green family were laid out in front of Ace, but Ace had no intention of exploring. He just hoped that he would break through the ninth level as soon as possible.

Because of their birth, they always faced the killing inevitably, but he never thought that Ace would like blood and death.Even if Ace becomes a necromancer, Nou doesn't believe that Ace will wantonly manipulate other people's life and death.

Nou thought: But, Ace, I don't believe you enough. You have to have Prince Xiben believe in you, and you have to have the entire empire believe in you.

Nou didn't answer Ace's question, but said, "Go ahead? How did the Skull Knights appear on the eastern plains of Louisiana Province?"

"The people from the magic island chased and killed the people from the small plane and came to the city that never sleeps. We have no way to resist the 10 holy rank powerhouses. We can only summon the Skeleton Knights. If I don't do that, the city that never sleeps will definitely be devastated." In fact, Ace is always in the wrong.

Nuo Ou said: "The life of the master of the Green family fief is not life?"

Ace said in shame: "The situation at that time was very chaotic. I am sure that except for one light mage who escaped, the other holy ranks were taken to Eternal Night City, and then returned to the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire. When we find out that the dead By the time the Spirit Knights had reached the eastern plains of the Louisiana province, it had been three hours since the end of the battle... Sorry, Nou, that was really not my intention."

Nuo Ou said: "So, Bill reminded you?" Now Nuo Ou naturally confirmed the identity of Bill Lich.

Noel even speculated that Bill already knew that General Arnold could not recall the Necromancer Knights, but no one reminded him.Only wait until the matter is irreversible before speaking out to inform.Because Bill is the lich of Ace's contract, he can't do things that harm Ace's interests.If the Necromancer Knights are allowed to wreak havoc on the eastern plains of the Louisiana Province, after a certain period of time, they may be discovered by the Pansy Empire army and killed "dead". This will violate Ace's imposition on Bill The contract on the body.

Ace said, "Yes."

There was sarcasm in Noou's words, "Then I really have to thank Bill."

Ace fell silent.

He has already told Nou that Bill and General Arnold are researching magic potions in Evernight City.However, even if the magic potion research is successful, the people in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province will not be able to return to the present world in their original appearance.

At this moment, everything he said would be wrong.

The secret room fell into silence again, Ace had explained most of the things, and they became speechless again.Ace really didn't expect that one day, he and Nou would fall into such a situation.

Except for the breathing of Ace and Nou, the secret room was so quiet that it made people crazy.

Until Nou stood up and wanted to leave the secret room.Ace didn't have time to think, so he stopped him, "Nou." He wanted to ask Nou or Prince Xiben how he planned to deal with him, but what he blurted out was, "When will you come to see me next time?"

Nou: ...

An awkward silence fell into the chamber again.

Nou said: "You should feel it. The astrologer's star map is laid out in the cellar. Not only my handwriting, the will of Prince Xiben, but also the participation of Magic Island are in it. You can't escape from here. Even if So, do you want to see me again?"

Ace was silent for a moment, and said: "You probably won't let me go. I'm sorry for what happened in the eastern plains of Louisiana province; I'm also sorry for those innocent lives lost. But I hope, wait until When they go back, you won't hate me anymore. You'll come here too and tell me."

Noah stopped in his tracks.

For a long time, he didn't speak.

Just when Ace thought that Nuo Ou would not answer him, Nuo Ou revealed some information he had obtained when he was still in control of the underground intelligence organization, "Prince Aachen met the blood of the Finger family in the North Sea Islands, which was originally Xiben Prince Xiben asked them to help him deal with the deal between the prince and Princess Muse. At that time, as long as the cause of Prince Aachen's death was pushed to the Finger Empire, Prince Xiben would not have to bear the infamy of killing his brothers.

But because of what you did in the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, Princess Muse's health is getting worse and worse, and they probably want to go back on their word.Prince Xiben suspects that Princess Muse wants to support Prince Aachen to take over the throne, internally quarreling with the Pansy Empire.

There is also Princess Fenfur in the northwest, the name of the Bright Knights is something we have heard in the imperial capital, and Prince Xiben will not allow her to win people's hearts. "

Ace asked, "Prince Nishimoto wants to kill the grass?"

Nou nodded and said. "Yes"

Prince Siben will no longer let his restless younger siblings live. If the killer he sends succeeds, by then, apart from His Majesty Ludwig IV and Prince Siben, the only surviving blood of the Keouser family will be Ace. up.

Ace's situation will be even more dangerous than it is now.

Jacob's star map does further limit Ace's freedom.

However, Magic Island has an ambiguous attitude. While restricting Ace, they also protected him.

Nou said lightly: "You'd better stay here."

……

Not long after Noou left the cellar, he left Duke Green's mansion again.What he didn't tell Ace was that, these days, rumors about Sykes becoming the first dragon knight after the establishment of the Pansy Empire were raging in the imperial capital.

Sykes, who was already very popular, is about to surpass Prince Xiben and become the man most women in the Pansy Empire want to marry.

In the end, Ace still had no chance to talk about Sykes with Noel.Not only because Nou refused to listen, but also because when Sykes was mentioned, it was necessary to talk about the love history between Mrs. Caroline and Silver Sword Master Heinrich Richter.Although Mrs. Caroline is famous far and wide, as Mrs. Caroline's son, Ace is always not good at adding gossip to Mrs. Caroline's love history.

Furthermore, Ace and Sykes have an embarrassing past, which makes Ace wish to erase that memory.

Ace didn't feel that the current situation between him and Nou had nothing to do with Sykes.

Therefore, the scene where Nou meets Sykes is really weird.

Outside the Rose Castle on the outskirts of the Pansy Empire's imperial capital.

Sykes looked at Duke Green who slowly appeared in front of him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.The high-ranking young dukes looked much more stern than when they were sent to the Finger Empire last time. Nuo Ou had completely faded away from the young green, and in terms of momentum, he was no different from those famous old foxes in the palace. Let it go.

Sykes didn't change much, his long silver hair and eyes were still elegant and handsome, but the original edge disappeared as he broke through the holy rank, and became more mellow and confident.The way he stood there lazily was somewhat similar to Ace.

It was not Sykes who caught Nou's attention the most, but the other person behind him, or the person was not accurate.

The girl looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she also had silver hair and silver eyes, but her eye sockets were deeper.Nou is familiar with the Richter family, and knows very well that she is not the usual Richter family appearance.She was wearing a silver breastplate, revealing her firm belly, and a pair of leather pants underneath. Her long white legs could brighten the eyes of the blind.

At this time, the girl was also looking at Nou curiously.

"Alice, this is the Duke of Green, Noah Green." Sykes introduced to the girl.

really.Nou murmured silently in his heart.The pansy empire has long been spread, and Sykes Richter, the original head of the Royal Knights Guards, brought back the first adult dragon from Dragon Island.This is not an ordinary dragon, but Alice, the granddaughter of the original patriarch Edward.Even in the dragon clan, the silver dragon is of noble blood. When it comes to magic talent, it is no less than the legendary golden dragon.

Noel and Sykes didn't talk much.

They originally had a decent friendship, the Green family and the Richter family were family friends, and they had jointly traveled to the Finger Empire.But after Sykes returned to the imperial capital, the first thing he did was not to go to the Pansy Palace to find Prince Xiben, but to ask the people in Rose Castle to deliver a letter to Nuoou, asking him to come here to see him.This move is very intriguing.

Sykes said: "I thought you wouldn't come?"

Noel frowned slightly. He didn't like Sykes' tone of being in control of everything, especially when he had already confirmed that Ace and Sykes had a strong friendship, and Ace had unrequited love for Sykes. Down.

Nuoou said calmly, "Why didn't I come?"

Sykes was a little surprised, he said, "Ace didn't tell you?"

"Which thing?" Nuo Ou only hated that he didn't stab Ace twice at that time, which made Ace not tell the truth now.

At this moment, Nou has completely forgotten that he interrupted Ace several times, not wanting to hear Ace talk about Sykes.Every time Ace mentioned Sykes, there was admiration in his tone that he didn't realize.

"It seems that you don't know." Sykes obviously didn't care about Nou's anger, not to mention that he is now a Juggernaut, Nou is only level nine, even Alice beside him, Nou is no match.

Sykes said bluntly: "I invited the Duke of Green to come here to take Ace away. I already know the identity of Ace's undead mage from the Earl Marina Homer, and I also know that he is now in the Duke's office. In hand, I want to ask Lord Duke to give him to me and let me take him to Magic Island. No matter Ace's talent of full-level water element affinity or his status as a necromancer, Magic Island needs it. "

Nou didn't believe Sykes, especially after Ace told him that Sykes went to Dragon Island to break through the Juggernaut in order to get rid of the shackles of Magic Island.

Nou said: "If it is really Magic Island that wants Ace Neumann from the Empire, it should be Jacob, the envoy of Magic Island, who will go to Prince Xiben, and then I will hand him over to Prince Xiben. The decision should never be like this."

Nou easily raised the topic to the Pansy Empire and the Magic Island, bluntly saying that he couldn't make a decision.

Sykes sighed and said: "Duke Green, I am as sad as you about the eastern plains of Louisiana. This time, not only the Green family but also the Richter family were victims. Although I have never been there, But I also have the blood of the people from the eastern plains of Louisiana province on my body, so I want to arrest Ace first, torture him, and then hand him over to the magic island."

At last, Sikes' tone became casual.

Only when Sykes said "torture torture" did he feel it with real emotion.

During his last years in Dragon Island, in the secret place, he was often tortured by the golden dragon Norn.When he broke through the holy rank, Elder Edward originally wanted him to rest before accepting the challenges of other adult dragons, but Sykes declined his kindness.He has already left a shadow on Long Island.Sykes quickly defeated the challenger, completely completed the contract with the silver dragon Alice, and left Dragon Island with Alice.

And the good and the bad are all due to Ace.

On the contrary, Sykes was not as angry as Nou about the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. He grew up in the imperial capital and Magic Island since he was a child, and had never been to the fief of the Richter family, nor did he have any feelings for it.

The communication between Sykes and Ace mostly depends on the city of Eternal Night in the dead world. He has come into contact with many skeleton knights, unlike most people in the world who are prejudiced against the dead world.

Therefore, Sykes can look at this matter more rationally, knowing that there must be a misunderstanding.

But about his blood relationship with Ace, if Ace didn't tell him, he wouldn't be able to tell Nou first.Sykes had to use the name of "torturing" Ace, although he was a little moved by this behavior.

Ace probably didn't understand how he got into this "betrayal" situation.

Nou said: "I'm sorry, Captain Richter, unless there is an order from Prince Xiben, I will not hand over Ace Neumann to anyone."
