Skeleton King

"Heh." Sykes laughed angrily at Nou's ability to open his eyes and tell lies.

When he was sent to the Finger Empire, Sykes felt that Nou and Ace were wrong.Nou sometimes looked at Ace, as if he was going to strip him naked and imprison him in a secret room, and Ace always involuntarily turned his eyes on Nou, but he didn't realize it.

As a veteran in the field of love, Sykes saw a good show on the sidelines. He didn't expect that the fire would burn on him later.

Sykes smiled provocatively: "I think it's Prince Xiben's order, you won't hand over Ace to anyone else, right?"

Noou looked at him with cold eyes, and a blood-red sword suddenly appeared in his hand. This was the sword of judgment passed down from the first Duke of the Green family and enshrined in Green Castle for a long time.

After the blue Hai Lan's fighting spirit entwined into the Sword of Judgment, the red light on the Sword of Judgment became more bewitching and hotter.

"Alice, go and pick the best red roses and weave a garland for me. I'll give it away later." Alice walked away in a daze after hearing Sykes' words.

After Sykes sent Alice away, a silver spear appeared in his hand, and he said: "Although the dragon knight can fight with the dragon, the Duke of Green has not yet broken through the holy rank, and I am not easy to bully others. Let me see if you have the strength to imprison Ace." Is it enough to stand beside his silly brother.

……

This battle lasted for a long time, the sky turned from deep red to deep purple, the sun's brilliance had not yet disappeared from the sky, the crescent moon had already hung on the branches, and there were still a few inconspicuous stars.

Nuo Ou even wondered for a moment, whether this would be the last time he saw the stars, and then he thought of Ace who was locked in the cellar of the Duke of Green's mansion by him. He sat alone in the corner, looking at the stars silently. somewhere.

Nuoou naturally knew that Prince Xiben agreed to hand over Ace to him. In addition to various other reasons, there were also some evil, unspeakable, and tacit malice between Prince Xiben and Nuoou.However, Nou never thought of forcing Ace.

He didn't like the will to force others, nor did he like innocent people dying.

This is an era of the weak and the strong, and people die every moment. He is not as kind as Ace.

Yes.

kindness.

Even if Ace doesn't admit it, Nou still feels that there is something kind and equal in Ace. Ace will feel sad for the death of civilians from hunger and cold, and be angry that girls are traded like goods.

But Nou would not, he followed the education of the law of the jungle passed down from generation to generation by the Green family.

If the person who died this time was not from the fiefdom of the Green family, Nuoou would not even frown.He is the patriarch of the Green family, and he must be responsible for the people on the family fief.

"clang--"

The harsh sound of weapon handover reached Nou's ears, pulling Nou back from his thoughts.

The tiger's mouth of Nou's right hand holding the Judgment Sword has already been split open, and his hand is full of blood.

But Sykes, apart from his two points of seriousness, he was still calm and composed, and Noel didn't even remember how long he had fought Sykes.

Alice had already returned, and she did not interfere.Although she was unsophisticated, she could see that Nou was no match for Sykes, and it was impossible for him to even cause harm to Sykes.

Alice wore a delicate and beautiful red rose wreath on her head, and was sitting on a hill not far from where they were fighting. From time to time, overflowing vindictiveness swept over her, but she didn't seem to notice it.

She rested her chin on her little white hand, and hummed softly a song that did not belong to humans.

Nou felt that Sykes' vindictiveness was a bit weird, as if it could drag people into a non-existent illusion. He couldn't help but think of Ace and what he was doing. Did he resent him?

His response to Sykes' attack was more like an instinctive reaction—an instinctive reaction caused by practicing sword day and night since he could remember.This allows him to block Sikes' attacks.

But Sykes' grudge didn't reach the holy level, at most it was only level nine.

Sykes was suppressed at the same grudge level as Nou, but he was fighting Nou with the consciousness of a holy rank.

Nuo Ou felt as if he had fallen into the mud, and all his actions became much slower.This made him very angry, because of the attitude of Sykes cat playing mouse.Just like he was on another battlefield, on the battlefield dominated by Ace, he was defeated by Sykes.

If it wasn't for Nou who doesn't admit defeat lightly, if it wasn't... Sykes wanted to take Ace away...

The night wind was getting colder and colder, and red maple leaves floated around Ace and Sykes, and were soon turned into fly ash by the overflowing fighting spirit.

Sykes' spear narrowly brushed Nou's neck, none of them were wearing armor, if someone died here, that person might really meet Ace in the Deadland.Nuo Ou only felt a splitting headache. They fought for too long, so long that his fighting spirit was almost exhausted.

Even Sykes was surprised, how did Nou persist until now?He never thought that Nuoou, who was not from Magic Island and had little actual combat experience, would have such resilience.

Sykes thought that if Nou had undergone the same training as him and didn't need to be distracted by the trivial matters in the family territory, at his current age, Nou might have achieved higher achievements.

Nou didn't know Sykes' evaluation of him, he was already miserable.

Sykes' fighting spirit became more intense.

Sykes' spear was like a storm, attacking Nou.In an instant, countless silver lights filled the space, and these silver lights woven into a big silver fishing net, seemed to envelop Nuoou completely.

Nou didn't resist Sykes' attack. Sykes' silver grudge was extremely fast, and Nou's body bent at an incredible angle to avoid Sykes' spear.

Still, Sykes' final blow hit Noah in the ribs.

Nuoou snorted, he suspected that he had two broken ribs.

Sykes used his spear to block the sword stabbed by Nou, and the two quickly fought dozens of times. Nou mumbled something, and Sykes asked subconsciously, "What did you say?"

Then Sykes saw Nou's Judgment Sword attacking his heart with lightning speed, Sykes completely forgot that he had controlled his grudge at level nine before, and subconsciously used the power of the Juggernaut to fly into the air Stand up and avoid this inevitable attack.

Sykes swooped down like an eagle, and the spear directly pierced Nou's right shoulder with the momentum.Contrary to Sykes' expectation, Nou didn't dodge the attack.Nou was shot by Sykes abruptly, and then he gripped the sword of judgment and struck Sykes' knee.

Even though Sykes jumped up again, he didn't completely avoid the sword. The sword of judgment was as swift as a poisonous snake, and directly hit his right calf.

When Nou fell to the ground and completely fell into a coma due to exhaustion, the Sword of Judgment did not let go.

The wound on Sykes' calf was deep enough to show bone.

Sykes was out of breath, "Damn it." He was originally stronger than ordinary sword masters, and at the ninth level, he dared to fight the unknown sword master.Now he was injured by Nou, a level nine. Even if there is a reason for his carelessness, this is an indisputable fact.

It would have been regarded as a great disgrace by Sikes if there were no one else here.

The outcome of this battle was beyond Alice's expectations. She screamed and wanted to send Nou to the Deadland, but Sykes stopped her.

Sykes looked at Nou lying on the ground, Nou seemed completely unconscious.Apart from being angry, Sykes was still rational. He said to himself: "There is a holy rank as a training partner. I think you can gain a lot."

He said again, "Alice, I'm hurt."

Alice was still looking at Nou fiercely at first. To the Dragon Race, except for their dragon knights and their companion dragon knights, other humans are insignificant.

But after hearing what Sykes said, she immediately stopped caring about Nou, squatted down and put her hand on Sykes' wound, and a faint milky white light appeared at the place where her hand and Sykes' wound intersected.

All dragons are both magic and martial arts, not to mention the silver dragon who is good at magic.

Sykes only felt an inconspicuous numbness, and the wound grew in all directions. After a while, the injured skin was more pink and tender than the surrounding skin, and no trace of injury could be seen at all. up.

Sykes looked at the delirious Nou, who was hesitating to keep him here or throw him to Rose Castle, when he heard Nou murmur "Ace" twice.

He sighed and said to Alice, "Heal him."

Alice was a little reluctant.

Sykes had no choice but to explain to her, "If I just put him here, my stupid brother won't know how to make trouble with me later. My stupid brother is a headache for Norn, the patriarch of your dragon clan." Hurry up. We will send him back to the Duke Green's mansion later."

For the "friendly relationship" between Alice and Norn, and for the "friendly relationship" between Sykes and Ace.Alice quickly helped Noou break his bone, healed his injury with light magic, and then together with Sykes took Noou back to the Duke Green's mansion in the dark.

When Nuoou wakes up again, he may only think it was a dream.

……

The dawn sunshine filled the streets of the Pansy Empire Imperial Capital, and all the grass blades were covered with dewdrops, which looked like crystal diamonds from a distance.

Sykes went to the palace to meet Prince Xiben.

Prince Xiben welcomed Sykes' return, and, as he said, returned the command of the Royal Knights to Sykes.

Sykes originally pledged allegiance directly to His Majesty Ludwig IV, but it may be that Sykes has too many traces of the magic island. Even if His Majesty Ludwig IV handed over the Royal Knights to him, he would not Never trusted him completely.Few people know that Sykes is the son of His Majesty Ludwig IV's rival in love and his most beloved woman.So did Prince Nishimoto.

After lunch with Prince Nishimoto, Sykes went to the camp of the Royal Guards.Even if Sykes breaks through the holy order, he is not a proud, authoritarian and overbearing person, and he has a good relationship with most of the knights of the Royal Guards.

"Captain Richter!"

"My God, Commander Richter, you are not in the camp, and there are [-]% fewer noble ladies who came to watch the training!"

"But Captain Richter came back, and all the girls went to see him. Hahahahahaha."

Laughter was everywhere in the camp, only the two deputy commanders, who were busy fighting for power and profit during this time, had a bad look on their faces. Prince Xiben just parachuted a commander over. Even if they were as noble as the Duke of Green, they all had the confidence to rely on their deep connections. , and control the Royal Knights for a few more years.The Royal Guard Knights are different from ordinary knights. Many of the knights here are from noble families, and even heirs to titles.They are arrogant and easily disobedient.

Cox is back.

Sykes has been in the Knights of the Royal Guards since he was 14 years old. From ordinary knights to where he is today, the two deputy captains are not as senior as Sykes.Whether it's fighting for strength, qualifications, or the love of the knights, they will lose thoroughly.

So when Sykes smiled meaningfully at them, the faces of the two deputy captains were stiff and extremely awkward.

And Alice, who was as welcome as Sikes, if not more so.All the knights of the Royal Guards knew that Sykes had brought back the silver dragon, but no one thought that the silver dragon could take the form of a human being, such a delicate little girl.

Whether it is to submit to Alice's beauty or respect her strength, all the knights are cautious and flattering to her.This group of playboys who go to various banquets with Sykes all day long are not to be underestimated in their flattery, and there are even more daring guys who want to pursue Alice.

Sikes looked on with a sneer.

Even he couldn't handle Alice, let alone these little bastards.

Sykes was in a good mood at first, until he felt the fluctuation of the familiar magic element behind him, which was different from the magic fluctuation of ordinary magicians. It could only be...

Before everyone noticed, Sykes had disappeared from the camp of the Royal Knights Guards, and when he reappeared, he was already in the forest not far from the camp.

In front of him is Jacob, who has inherited all the astrological research of the owner of the magic island, and is the only person in this plane who is called an astrologer.

"Jacob, are you in the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire?" Sykes seemed ignorant.

Jacob's eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, and he would not go around in circles with Sykes. Sykes had been immersed in the officialdom of the Pansy Empire for many years, and he was infected with the problem of speaking falsely.Of course, Sykes' trick will only be used on the people of Magic Island.Facing those veterans in the officialdom, Sykes was not serious about what they said, so Sykes used his fists to solve the problem instead.

Jacob said bluntly: "Sikes, the island owner does not want you to participate in the struggle for the kingship of the Pansy Empire."

Sykes pretended to be surprised, and said, "How could I participate in this?"

Prince Xiben didn't know about the relationship between Sykes and Ace, but it was impossible for the people of Magic Island to know, especially the omniscient owner of Magic Island and his disciple Jacob.

With the help of Sykes, Ace just wants to turn the customer into the main, and it is not impossible to seize the pansy empire.Sykes threatened: "Even if you are the envoy of Magic Island, you can't slander Mrs. Caroline's reputation at will."

Jacob looked at Sykes, his gaze seemed to be able to read people's hearts, and he said directly: "I will propose to Prince Xiben and send you to the Territory of Chaos."

Sykes asked in surprise, "What are you going to do in the Territory of Chaos?" The duty of the Knights of the Royal Guards has always been to protect His Majesty. Even if Prince Xiben is in power now, they should not go to the Territory of Chaos to protect Prince Xiben.

Sykes has been in the Royal Guards for 12 years, except for escorting Princess Fenfur to get married, they have never even left the imperial capital.

Jacob said: "You will know when you arrive at the Territory of Chaos."

Sikes wanted to ask again, but Jacob had disappeared.

astrologer.Sykes said bitterly in his heart.

Although he is not controlled by the Magic Island now, as long as the Silver Glory Sword Master is still on the Magic Island, it is impossible for him to completely disassociate himself from the Magic Island.And Magic Island sent him to deal with the city that never sleeps, it was better than sending other people.

But he had to meet Ace first.A moment later, Sykes disappeared into the forest again.
