Skeleton King

The capital of the Pansy Empire.royal palace.

There were more and more people in the conference hall. Prince Xiben, four ministers, Noel, and Earl Marina Homer were all present. Even Jacob, the envoy of Magic Island, was sitting at the edge of the long table.

But Jacob's eyes are closed, and he looks emotionless, like he doesn't care about anything.

Everyone else in the room suspected that even if they were arguing upside down, Jacob wouldn't pay much attention to them.Therefore, many people murmured about Jacob's presence.

The most powerful family knights in the north and east of the Pansy Empire belong to the Richter family, the Homer family and the Green family respectively.That's why Noel and Count Marina Homer came to the meeting today.

After the death of Mrs. Claudia Love, the old Earl Richter has no direct heirs, and the collateral descendants of the Richter family are eager to move.The old Earl Richter was old and strong, lost his temper at the family meeting, and directly sent the Richter Knights to the Territory of Chaos, and made a handover with Sykes.

Even though Sykes bluntly stated that he would not inherit the Richter family, he did not change the old Earl Richter's decision.

Prime Minister Colvin’s finger was dotted on the map drawn by the Pansy Empire court scholar, “Many people were sent from Magic Island, there are probably more than 25 holy ranks, and each of them has at least 2 cards in their hands. The magic scrolls of forbidden spells, they have brought all the thousand-year-old inventory of the magic island."

Even Prime Minister Colvin felt that Magic Island's actions made a big deal out of a molehill.

Prime Minister Colvin's fingers swiped from the Purin Battlefield to the Territory of Chaos not far away. On the map, the distance between them is about as long as a human fingernail. "I think everyone should have understood the situation in the small plane. If They broke through the shackles, and none of us can live. The Muse Princess of the Finger Empire has agreed to a truce, and Jacob's messenger has also brought the magic contract they signed.

But when we are fighting fiercely with the small plane, the city that never sleeps is located in the hinterland of the mainland. If they collude with the small plane, our rear will be unstable.

Now, in the Prin Mountains, we have more than 100 knight orders combined with the Finger Empire.After breaking through the city that never sleeps and rescuing the holy ranks of the magic island, these knights will go to sea to help the magic island resist the attack of the small plane. "

Count Marina Homer only learned about the existence of the minor plane from Prime Minister Colvin, including their different time flow rate from the minor plane, and the blood feud between the two planes.Before she had time to accept this fact, she learned that the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire were going to send all the knights from the Prin Mountains. She couldn't accept this, because before the empire's army was finished, Prince Xiben would definitely mobilize the nobles' private soldiers idea of.

Earl Marina Homer said: "Prime Minister Colvin, as you said, one year in the small plane, we have only passed one day here. We will directly send the most well-equipped and most experienced fighters from the two empires." 1 knights have passed, if the people of Magic Island wiped them out in 1 or 100 days, I don't know about the Finger Empire, and the Pansy Empire should not be able to find 2 knights of the same quality.

What shall we do then?Then send out the guards of each city?Or summon the private army of the nobles?I don't know whether we will defeat the small plane first, or the empire will be dragged down first? "

Before Prime Minister Colvin could speak, Jacob, who was sitting on the side of the long table, spoke unexpectedly, "Earl Homer, if that time really comes, not only the guards, but also the nobles' private army, Even farmers who could afford a hoe were called to war."

Jacob's words fell, and the meeting hall fell into complete silence.

Prince Nishimoto sat in the first seat and remained silent.

If he disagrees with the arrangement of Magic Island, the 25 holy ranks and the 50 Knights of the Finger Empire will not face the Lord of Chaos. They will directly cross the Prin Mountains and set foot on the land of the Pansy Empire .This is a war the Pansy Empire will not win.Under the long table, Prince Nishimoto clenched his fists tightly. He hated the feeling of being coerced.

Others could only hear the beating of their own hearts.

At this moment, Nou looked at Jacob and said, "Since the enemies in the small plane are so important, why don't we focus on the war in the small plane, and still entangle with the Lord of Chaos?"

Jacob's voice was like a machine, with no emotions or ups and downs, "This is not an ordinary war. People in the small planes don't accept prisoners. Maybe the monsters and dragons surrendered and were enslaved. There is a possibility of survival. But the human race did not." , even if the small plane is destroyed, it will drag us down together. When necessary, even if the magic island sends women and children to the battlefield, it will not hesitate. The magic island will not allow another unit that can detain 9 people The power of the holy order exists and is out of control.

They can only surrender and accept our takeover. "

Nuoou said again: "But 100 elite knights and 25 holy ranks are going to attack a city, isn't it too much?"

Jacob replied: "Magic Island never underestimates its opponents. The Nightless City has proved their strength, and the astrology has also given a sign that the Twin Cities must be destroyed at the same time. When the magic island's holy steps go to the Nightless City, the Knights will also pass. The teleportation array on the magic island reaches the realm of the dead. Only when we conquer the realm of the dead and gather the skeleton army will we have more confidence in the war on the small plane."

Nou knew that Magic Island would not accept peace talks with the Twin Cities.

This is like sending a signal to the careerists hidden in the two empires.When the plane is facing internal and external troubles, as long as you occupy the mountain as the king, you will have a chance to be recognized by the magic island and the two great empires.

Magic Island will never allow this to happen!

And the so-called takeover of Magic Island is to contract all civilians and skeleton soldiers, and Ace will never agree!

……

Ace has indeed regained contact with Evernight City and Nevernight City. Angela has always been the one who came to see Ace and reported to him the recent situation of his Nevernight City and the Twin Cities.

After getting the sigh of the undead from the legendary staff, Angela's cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds. She had already crossed the threshold of an intermediate mage and became a seventh-level necromancer.Angela told Ace, "There are more and more skeleton knights in Evernight City, but most of the skeletons don't have armor, and they can't exert their strongest strength at all. We are too short of alchemists."

Ace sat on the ground with his back against the wall, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Angela waved her hands flattered, and said, "No. Although I'm busy every day, I'm also very fulfilled." It can be seen that she likes her current life very much.

Ace asked, "How is the city that never sleeps now?"

As Ace spent more and more time in the cellar of the Duke of Green's Mansion, he became more and more proficient in the use of Pansy's grudge.He was too bored in the cellar, and could only spend a lot of time every day studying the chains that had been incorporated into the star stone.Then just like Sykes did, the chains were made longer and longer enough for Ace to walk freely in the chamber.

Unfortunately, Ace still couldn't break it.Ace suspected that the chains incorporated into the star stone had a mysterious connection with the star map in the cellar. Even if he could dig the chains out of the wall, it would be difficult for him to leave here.

It is true that Magic Island has dominated this plane for thousands of years.

Angela was a little depressed, and said: "It was okay when there was only the Pansy Empire Imperial Guard Knights, but the fight between Captain Sykes Richter and the Nightless Knights led by Alter was almost like a military exercise. But recently, the Knights of the Eiffel Province of the Finger Empire have also entered the Territory of Chaos. Alter originally wanted to bring the Nightless Knights to fight against them, but he left the Royal Guard Knights alone, but confronted the Eiffel Province Knights, it is too easy to attract suspicion. Other knights in the city that never sleeps have suffered a lot of casualties."

Ace said: "It can't go on like this." Thinking of the actions of the Magic Island, he was a little bit dumbfounded. The Magic Island looked like a white lotus that was not stained with mud, but it was more afraid of losing its overlord status than anyone else. "They don't Deal with the small plane well, but first integrate the forces of the two empires to trouble us."

Ace thought for a while, when General Arnold came to him not long ago, they made arrangements for the city that never sleeps and Alt.Ace said: "Don't worry. Even if the worst comes, we can still defend the city that never sleeps."

Angela has followed Ace since she was a child. In her opinion, Ace is omnipotent. When she heard Ace's words, she instantly felt at ease.Angela asked: "General Arnold also mentioned the small plane several times. Your Highness, what exactly is the small plane?"

Noticing Angela's restless eyes, Ace sighed.

He said: "Small plane... You know that we are in a developing plane right now? Whether it is the continent where the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire are located, or Dragon Island, Magic Island, and the North Sea Islands, As well as distant islands that we don't know, all belong to this plane. But at the same time, the dead world where Eternal Night City is located belongs to another plane, which is a plane that gradually declines after complete development.

The Dead Realm is coming to an end now, but it will be tens of thousands of years before it completely decays, and we may not see it.Specifically, you can go to Eternal Night City to read the Skeleton King's handbook...

As for the small plane, there are different opinions about its origin. The two most common theories come from the owner of the magic island and the scholar of Milai University.

The owner of the magic island believes that the small plane is a new plane, and it may grow to the scale of our plane in the future, which is a vastness that the strong holy ranks cannot explore in their entire lives; the University of Millai thinks that the small plane The surface is a certain part of our plane that was divided due to unknown reasons. It does not have growth potential, and because it is separated from the main body, the resources inside are limited and non-renewable..."

Angela wondered: "But isn't the owner of the magic island an astrologer? Aren't astrologers supposed to know everything?"

"Astrologers know everything? This is just the prejudice of the world." Ace sneered, "The astrology may not be wrong, but what the astrologers see may not be the truth, let alone their vague interpretation? And our plane has long been There are no living astrologers. You should know that the last astrologer died at the hands of General Arnold.

He also cursed the royal families of the Finger Empire and the Pansy Empire.

Do you think the owner of the magic island has such strength?Directly curse the royal families of the two empires, and make their bloodlines impossible to decipher after thousands of years.Yes, the magic island owner may have stronger fighting power than the astrologer at his peak, but his interpretation of astrology is nothing more than that.

Whether it is the owner of the magic island or Jacob, they have only received part of the inheritance of the astrologer, and they cannot be called astrologers. "

Angela is considered half of Ace's students. They learned magic from the Skeleton King's Handbook.What they have studied from the very beginning is the essence of magic, which is the origin of this plane.

Without thinking too long, Angela raised the key question, "If the small plane is a part of our plane that has fallen, how can there be humans in the small plane? Even if some people split when the plane splits, Falling into the small plane, how could they be as powerful as they are now? The inference of the Millais University scholar should be wrong."

Ace said: "Then what if the people from the small plane were put in by people from our plane?"

Angela covered her mouth in surprise.

If you look at the current situation in the small plane, Ace will also agree with the prediction of the owner of the magic island.

The small plane is only the size of an ordinary province of the Pansy Empire, but there are at least hundreds of thousands of holy steps in it, and the time flow rate of their planes is very different from that of their planes. .

Only the new plane, the more high-end source of the plane, can explain all this.

But not long ago, in the secret room of the cellar, Sykes told Ace that the disaster on the small plane was, in a sense, entirely caused by their predecessors.

Ace asked Angela, "Do you know the origin of Magic Island and Millais Library?"

Angela nodded and said, "I know."
