Skeleton King

Ace bit the bottle and said inarticulately, "No, how did you know?"

Nuo Ou looked at him with a sneer, and said, "What do you know? You are connected with the city that never sleeps and the city that never sleeps? Such obvious magic elements of dark attributes linger in this secret room, unless you break through the imprisonment of the star chains, then you have already escaped, what else could be the reason?"

Ace looked at Nou suspiciously, and said, "In this case, why do you insist on me staying here?"

Nou didn't speak, but just took away Ace's empty ale bottle.Ace said again: "If you lock me up here for the Green family, I can still understand. For the sake of Siben Coother, don't tell me how loyal you are to him. It's true that such a person who kills brothers and parents Can you earn the allegiance of a knight?"

In Ace's view, Prince Xiben's confinement of His Majesty Ludwig IV was the most stinky move.

Which knight dares to sincerely serve such a king who does not recognize his six relatives?What Prince Nishimoto has is absolute strength, means, and the most legal status, so he is so worried about Prince Aachen, Princess Fenfur, and Ace.If he really has countless loyal knights under his command, even if Ace joins forces with Prince Aachen and Princess Fenfur, how can he shake his empire?

Even if Nou's loyalty to other members of the Keoser family, a model of justice, Ace didn't think Nou's loyalty to the Pansy Empire would go beyond the family.

Of course, this is not only the case with Nuoou, most of the noble families in the empire educated them in this way.

Only the family is eternal.

Ace continued: "You should know that I never wanted to sit on the throne. When we first came to the imperial capital, this secret had been buried for 19 years, and I thought it would continue to be buried. I have no special intentions until now. I dislike Siben Koorser, he was born into a royal family, lived for the throne, and died for the throne, which is his destiny.

It's just that my position is different from his.Whether it is what he did to His Majesty Ludwig IV or to his younger brothers and sisters, it has nothing to do with me.It's Prince Xiben, isn't he also my half-brother?They are just strangers to me.They have already enjoyed too many resources of this empire, and of course they have to bear responsibilities and risks.Whose fault was it that he had so much and lost to Prince Xiben?

I just want to have the strength to protect myself.I don't like it when someone is in control and can take my life, liberty, and whatnot if he wants to.So I'm going to build the Twin Cities. "

Nou listened silently to Ace, and said: "But in this world, there is always only one person who can be completely unconstrained and completely control his own destiny. Others except him will be directly or indirectly controlled .That man is the king."

Ace already understood.He and Prince Xiben cannot coexist. Whether it is their origin or their choice, they are doomed to be against each other and will never be able to reconcile.

Destiny is like a child who loves to tease others, regardless of the joys and sorrows of the people in it, and willfully assemble their lives.

Seeing that Nou didn't want to answer, Ace had to change the subject, "At the beginning, if you wanted to make an engagement between Bernadette and Siben Coother, I would definitely stop it."

Noou nodded, noncommittal, "Prince Xiben just admitted the wrong person, Bernadette was not what he was looking for."

Ace's tone was still indifferent, "What about you?" Under Nou's puzzled gaze, he asked, "What are your plans? I heard that the old Duke Green and the Homer family had a good relationship. , they should give you a baby kiss with Marina Homer. Marina Homer not only has the blood of the Koorser family, but also looks very beautiful, and now she has the attention of Siben Koorser. In With me as an old friend, marrying Marina Homer will help you regain the trust of Prince Xiben, right?"

Sykes had told Ace about Marina Homer not long ago.

Before, Ace had little impression of this young countess who had just won the title of Red Rose.

The relationship between the Green family and the Homer family is not a secret, and Noel did not expect that Ace knew about it through Sykes.Nou asked, "Are you giving me advice?"

Ace didn't know how he led their conversation to this point, just like he didn't know how Nou managed to stay calm when facing such a topic.

Ace remembered that Noou hadn't given him an answer when he said the last time he promised to make a promise, and his mouth was a little bitter, "We are in different camps now. If you are really smart, don't listen to what I say."

Nou lowered his head, the blond hair on his forehead was already a little long, and Ace couldn't see his expression.

"Ace, did I never tell you that I actually don't like girls." Nou raised his head and looked at Ace quietly, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Ace stared blankly at Nou, he didn't understand whether what Nou wanted to express was what he thought.

Ace asked a silly question, "You mean, I can pay off the debt with my body?"

Nuo Ou smiled, his expression was gentle and tender, not like a stern duke, but like an infatuated noble boy by the rose flower bed, only at this moment did he show some youthful vigor.

Nou was about to answer Ace when the "rustling" sound of the hourglass in the secret room stopped.Nou looked at Ace regretfully, "I have to go to the Pansy Palace today, and I'm going to be late. I'll answer this question when I get back."

Nuoou straightened his clothes, turned around and wanted to leave the secret room.

Suddenly, he stopped, turned his back to Ace, and said, "Don't underestimate Prince Xiben. Many years ago, Prince Xiben helped the owner of the Magic Island on Magic Island, so he got something. This thing is Juggernauts can use it to save their lives, and they can be used to kill people when necessary. Ace, don't let that thing be used on you."

……

small plane.

It has been more than half a year since Norn came of age early and drove away the attacking people from the small plane.However, the flow rate of time in the small plane is not the same as that of the outside world. One year here is only equivalent to one day in the outside world. Therefore, Norn can reach the age of near adulthood so quickly.

However, Nuoen forced to become an adult early, which still brought some sequelae.

A huge golden dragon was crouching on the hill, and a dozen or so gray-haired old men were surrounding the Norn to inspect his body. With Norn's permission, they also took some Norn's blood, and two tablets Scales on wings.

Some of these dozen or so old men are scholars from the Millais Library. They are knowledgeable. They have been on the Magic Island for many years and have studied dragons very well; It is the oldest dragon of the Dragon Clan—the one Ace saw when he sent Norn back to Dragon Island was Elder Edward and the green robe—because Elder Edward had to recuperate in the Dragon Clan, and the green robe represented the Dragon Clan to meet their patriarch .

Both Elder Edward and the green robe know that even if Norn is in the small plane, there are still more than 150 years before he becomes an adult.So when they heard the news that Norn had come of age, they were all shocked.

After several months of research, the green robe has come to a conclusion on Norn's current situation, "The patriarch has reached adulthood early, which has no effect on lifespan and dragon soul, but because of insufficient nutrients in the body, he has not grown to the golden giant recorded in history. The general size of a dragon, and it will be difficult to grow back in the future."

The green dragon Alec, who was rescued by Norn, was carefully standing behind his patriarch grandfather. He couldn't believe this fact, and said: "But patriarch, he is already bigger than any adult dragon I know. gone."

Indeed, Norn's current size is more than twice that of the green dragon Alec. Even if Elder Edward comes to the small plane, the two of them are only about the same size.

For the Dragon Clan, body size is particularly important, and a more powerful body shape will have a greater advantage whether it is in battle or in courtship.

When the green robe first learned that Nuo En was forced to become an adult, he somewhat blamed Nuo En.

To be honest, although they belonged to another plane together with Magic Island and the two great empires, if people from the smaller plane forcibly invaded, Dragon Island was still the most likely to be completely preserved.

Therefore, in many wars to defend the defense line of the Magic Island, whether it was Elder Edward or the green robe, they all refused to ask the dragons to perform more dangerous actions on the Magic Island.

But when he knew that Nuoen forcibly became an adult to save the green dragon Alec and other dragons who were trapped on the battlefield at that time, the green robe couldn't blame him anymore.Not only because the green dragon Alec is a direct descendant of the green robe, but also because he thought of how he would think of Norn if he stayed in the defense base of the Magic Island and stood by and watched all his kin who were in danger. ?

The little dragon who used to cry silently in the middle of the night with the astrology doll in his mouth has grown into a qualified patriarch of the dragon clan.

The green robe looked at his incompetent junior, Alec the green dragon, and said: "An adult golden dragon basically grows about 35 feet longer. The patriarch's current body size is only comparable to that of an adult silver dragon, obviously an early adult. sequelae."

At this time, Norn transformed into a human form again. He was not much different from his previous appearance, and he was still a 16-year-old human being.

As for other adult dragons, their transfigured human forms remain around the age of 25 as humans.

According to the calculation of the green robe, Nuo En will always maintain this appearance in the future, until he enters the aging period.The green dragon Alec felt very guilty, "Patriarch, I'm sorry, it's because I went deep into the enemy that I caused you..."

The green giant Alec has been beaten a lot recently, but even after being beaten so much, he can't feel better.

Norn knew that Alec, the green dragon, had a good relationship with the humans on Magic Island. Even if the dragons didn't need to fight in front, and only needed to chant dragon language magic to ensure that the defense base was safe, Alec, the green dragon, went forward.This led to many things that followed.

But how could Norn not understand the green dragon Alec.Once, he also had such feelings for a certain human being.

I don't want him to be hurt in any way.Even if he is in danger, he wants to protect him.

Even after they separated and encountered many things, he often thought, what would he do if that human being encountered these things?

Norn waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's nothing, even without you, I will break through the holy steps and protect this line of defense." The green dragon Alec looked at Norn tearfully, but Norn felt nothing .He even hated himself for saying this, because he thought of that human again.

If it was that human being, that human being would definitely act like he didn't care.

He doesn't like to be indebted to anyone, or to be remembered for the sacrifices he's made.

After so many years and so many experiences, Norn naturally understood Ace's original choice.Ace doesn't want him to regret in the future, because he didn't learn enough powerful dragon language magic, to regret because he didn't master the peerless martial arts, to regret because he didn't have the experience of getting along with the same race... Ace was afraid that he would regret it in the future, and there was no turning back , so regardless of his begging, he insisted on driving him away and sending him to Long Island.

Ace even thought that enough years would make Norn forget him.

Yet this was what the norn hated most about him.

Why does Ace refuse to believe him, believe that he will not have these regrets, and believe that he will become the most powerful dragon clan in the world by himself.Maybe he will take some detours, but compared to growing up together, compared to being able to spend thousands of years without being alone, what are those?

Ace's influence on Norn is much more than Ace imagined.Even when the people from the small plane were about to break through the last line of defense of the magic island, Norn was thinking about what Ace would do if Ace was there; just now when the green dragon Alec felt guilty behind him, He was thinking again, what would he do if Ace was there.

But someone who was so important to him thought he would be easily forgotten.

How could Norn not hate this.

He owed his heart, and he will always get it back.

Norn turned his head to look at the green robe, and asked, "Elder, will there be any specific impact on combat power?"

After thinking carefully, the green robe replied: "It has little effect on the burst of instant combat power. But because the dragon's shape shrinks, the magic power and battle energy stored in the body will decrease accordingly."

Nuo En said lightly: "It doesn't matter." When Nuo En walked away, he was still thinking, if that person knew that sending him back to Long Island would actually make his growth worse, would he be extremely upset? regret?

The green robe was still shouting from behind, "Patriarch, Magic Island has a meeting to be held in the afternoon. In the Territory of Chaos on the edge of the Demonic Beast Forest, there is a new force called the city that never sleeps. They have detained 9 holy rank powerhouses from Magic Island , There is also collusion with people from the small plane. Magic Island wants to take advantage of the solid defense line here, and take down the city that never sleeps first. In case we are stuck in the battle with the small plane, the city that never sleeps takes advantage of the gap and smashes into their rear .”

Norn stopped in his tracks and said, "What does this have to do with us?"

The green robe said: "Magic Island intends to send the knights and holy rank powerhouses who planned to reinforce the defense line to the city that never sleeps first, conquer there, and then come to the small plane."

Norn looked at the green robe with dissatisfaction. This is enough power to attack a certain plane, but Magic Island only intends to conquer two cities?

The green robe was terrified, but he still finished their request to the dragon clan, "Magic Island also hopes that we will send 10 adult dragons to assist in the battle."

Norn didn't believe that the Magic Island was only planning to attack one city, and even if it was true, he had no intention of interfering.Norn has gone far away, and his voice came back from afar, "We don't care about the disputes among human beings, because they are the least trustworthy group of guys."
