Skeleton King

Ace cut to the chase, "About Hope."

Jacob also didn't mean to play tricks with Ace, and said honestly: "The Star of Hope is indeed the second-ranked treasure in Magic Island. Its history is as long as the existence of Magic Island. My teacher, the current island of Magic Island Lord Tswar also broke through through it and became an existence beyond the holy rank."

But this news is unlikely to send Ace away.

"The Star of Hope also has a disadvantage." Jacob said again: "When the Star of Hope is intact, the possibility of using it to break through is greater; the more damaged it is, the more difficult it will be for the person using it to break through. If there is no small plane attacking the magic island node, Xiben and I are the double insurance of the teacher, let Xiben try to break through first, if it doesn't work, then I will use the star of hope."

"Very good." Ace was full of anger when he thought of the black thread entangled in Noou's soul fire, "Then can you tell me what kind of sequelae will there be if you don't rely on the star of hope to break through?"

Jacob didn't want to fight with Ace in the Port of Nice, and even the stars in the sky didn't have time to tell him how Ace and the others escaped from the pursuit of the astrological puppets.Jacob doesn't think he is stronger than the astrological puppet, "We only know that there is no existence that transcends the holy rank by relying on the star of hope. In the long years to come, it is impossible to take that step again."

"You have nothing else to say?" Ace asked.

Jacob was a little dissatisfied. He felt the dark magical elements gathered in Ace's hands, and he would do it if he disagreed. This is the behavior of a barbarian.

Jacob argued: "The Star of Hope can only be used three times, and the third time Duke Green used it. Our sample is too small. What I said just now is what my teacher told me."

"I can guarantee that what I'm telling is the truth." Jacob doesn't like such barbaric behavior, and he has to obey the law of the jungle on this plane. The one with the big fist is the boss. Take responsibility for what you say."

Ace held out his hand.

Jacob obediently handed him the Star of Hope with its surface completely cracked.

Ace found that the threat of force was quite useful to Jacob, so it turns out that astrologers are also greedy for life and afraid of death?

If Jacob knew what Ace was thinking, no matter how well-bred he was, he would curse him endlessly.If it's all over, there's nothing to be afraid of.But what he was facing was the Skeleton King. When he was alive, he could still guarantee the freedom of his soul; when he died, the Skeleton King would really make him regret not living a long life.

Ace directly took out the staff of bones, threatened Jacob as much as he wanted, and said to Jacob: "Tell me, what does Magic Island want me to do in the small plane. Don't be surprised why I know this, and don't lie to me, I am more powerful than you imagined." Much more to know."

……

Evernight City.

Evernight City has never been so bustling with ghosts and ghosts like it is now.

All undead creatures know that the Skeleton King repelled the attacks of the Magic Island and the two empires, and now the hundreds of knights outside the Eternal Night City have been imprisoned by the Eternal Night City, waiting for the Magic Island to spend a lot of money to redeem them. .For the dead world whose central city has been occupied by the holy steps of the magic island for hundreds of years, this is a rare thing to be proud of.

That's why Evernight City has rarely become lively.From time to time, there will be undead creatures who pay a high amount of ghost coins, just to walk around the walls of Eternal Night City and drool at the living people outside the city walls. You have to know how many of them have not seen living people for tens or hundreds of years .

The knights of the Knights outside the Eternal Night City looked more restless than when they were fighting. The saying that the skeleton soldiers like to eat human flesh was widely circulated within the Knights.

For knights, this is much more terrifying than their death on the battlefield.

If Ace, Sykes and the others don't send the knights of these knights to the magic island, many of them will be the first to fail to withstand the psychological pressure and collapse and commit suicide.

"But it's also good." Ace leaned against the bed, tore off a piece of orange, and said leisurely: "They are dead now, and they don't have to go through the gate of the dead world, and become undead directly in the dead world."

Ace laughed before he finished speaking.

Nuoou has been staying in the City Lord's Mansion of Eternal Night City these days. He was basically in a coma a few days ago, and he rarely had time to wake up. His spirit has improved in the past two days.Nou took Ace's hand and tasted a slice of orange.

There was no expression on Nuo's face, but Ace, who was familiar with him, felt that his face was wrinkled into a "囧", and he looked really sour.

Nou gave Ace a reproachful look. If Ace hadn't fed the orange with his own hands, he would really spit it out.

Ace looked at him amusedly, "This is a soul tangerine, which is good for you." The soul tangerine is a unique thing in the dead world that can strengthen the fire of the soul. Ordinary undead creatures should store it carefully if they get it, and spend a lot of money on it. Ask a pharmacist to dispense it and try to get the most out of it.Only the Skeleton King can feed the soul-raising orange as an ordinary fruit to his little lover.

Nuoou frowned and ate the soul-nourishing orange bitterly and bitterly, and then started to care about the small plane, "What does Magic Island want you to do? We don't need to go to the small plane now."

"I may really have to go to the small plane." Ace sighed, he was very worried about Nou, and said: "You go with me. I stayed in your cellar for a while before , you just make yourself like this, the flow of time in the small plane is different from that outside, I am really worried that if I stay in it for a long time, you will not be able to take good care of yourself."

When Nou heard that Ace asked him to follow, he was indeed not as anxious as before.

Nou didn't even ask Ace about the little plane again.As long as they walk together, there is nothing to fear, "When do we go?"

"Tomorrow." Ace said: "The teleportation array has been set up. The other end of the teleportation array is connected to the port of Nice, and Magic Island will send a boat to take them across the sea. We will also set off at that time."

"It will take at least 10 days for me to fully recover my strength." Nuo Ou is not a person who is brave, because it is likely to hinder people, "It will take another 3 days, and my strength can be restored to [-]%, should we leave at that time? "

"The small plane can't wait any longer." Before Ace finished speaking, Nuoou continued.

Nuo Ou said: "I can recuperate on the road."

Not really.

Ace took out a bottle of golden magic potion from the space bracer and shook it, "Star potion, you will soon be able to return to your prime, and you won't be powerless against soul attacks again."

Nuo Ou felt the huge energy contained in the star potion, and he naturally knew the preciousness of such a potion.

"But I just ate a soul-raising orange?" Nuo Ou hesitated.The soul-raising orange can indeed strengthen the fire of the soul, but it also contains many impurities.It will take several days for him to completely filter out these impurities. At this time, can he take another potion that acts on the soul?

Ace looked embarrassed, "There is a way to filter the star potion for you."

"What?" Nuo Ou worried that it would be difficult to achieve this condition.

Ace stammered and said: "Find a holy rank, let him drink the star potion, and purify the star potion. You can directly replenish him."

The master bedroom of the City Lord's Mansion fell into silence.

Ace was about to quietly look at Nou's expression, when he felt Nou's five claws grabbed his shoulder like an eagle, and before he could react, Nou threw him onto the bed with his small grabbing hand .

Ace: ...

Noou rode on Ace without hesitation, and his blue eyes became darker.

Looking at the dangerous blue eyes, Ace couldn't help it, he laughed.

Then he laughed louder and louder.

"What's so funny?" Nuo Ou's expression was a little vicious.

Nuoou directly used grudge to cut through the bottle of Star Potion, a neat cut appeared on the bottle, the priceless Star Potion became an ordinary prop at this moment, he forced Ace to drink it like a bully, Ace He also rejected him quite cooperatively, "I don't want it! I don't want it!"

When they finally had enough trouble, Nuo Ou gasped and said to him, "You don't need to be so eager to refuse."

"Think about how you broke through to the Juggernaut." Ace used grudge to put a protective film on the soul fire to ensure that the star potion would not temper his soul. He continued to dilute and purify the star potion in his body.He said: "I think you must be very good at picking tonics."

Nou smiled lightly and helped Ace unbutton his white chest. His fingers lightly brushed across his white chest, "Let me see, will you become a sucker? Don't worry, even if you become a skeleton, I won't dislike you." your."

……

afterwards.

Ace breathed lazily, "Aren't you sleepy?"

The blush on Nuo's face hadn't dissipated, and his eyes were narrowed in satisfaction. He seemed to be able to imagine his current expression. He subconsciously covered his face with his arms, which seemed to be able to cover half of his spring.He said: "You don't even think about it, how long have I been asleep."

"Yeah." Ace nodded casually.

They lay side by side on the bed, and Nuo Ou asked suddenly: "How long will it take us to go to the small plane this time?"

"It can be as short as a month or as long as a few years." Ace said, "What about the affairs on the eastern plains of the Louisiana province? And the Duke Green's mansion in the imperial capital?"

Nou said: "There is Gerald Horsley in the fief, and Angelica has also stayed there for a while, I think she has already studied the affairs of my fief thoroughly, No matter how bad it is, you can ask her to help take care of it.”

Ace couldn't explain anything at this time.Although he never had this plan, according to Angelica's personality, according to Nou, it is still very possible.If he could still say that Angelika did not have this ability before, after what happened to Prince Xiben, Nou would not believe this anyway.Furthermore, Angelika is now a lich, and she has even made up for her last shortcoming in force, and it is difficult for Ace to find her shortcomings.

Nou was also not particularly willing for Angelica to intervene in the affairs of the Green family.It's just that Angelica went to the city that never sleeps, and the Territory of Chaos borders on the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. In order to prevent the Green family from accidentally offending him in the future, it is better to hand over part of the board of directors to Angelica while he is away.

"Let Bernadette decide the imperial capital. The old housekeeper likes her very much, and will do her best to help her manage the house." Nuo Ou continued: "There are more social balls in the imperial capital, and she has more opportunities to meet outstanding noble youths. "

Nou noticed that Ace hesitated to speak, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Ace saw that Noou was in a good mood at the moment, and boldly said: "Bernadette actually looked for me. Yesterday I went back to the Duke Green's mansion to get some things, and she asked me to intercede for her."

Although Ace has a good relationship with Princess Bernadette, Nou is his true love, and he will not play tricks on Nou for other people.

Sure enough, after listening to Ace's words, Nou guessed what Bernadette asked Ace for.

In Star of Hope, Nuo Ou has already met Bernadette's ideal person.In this world, Bernadette is still in love with him.Nou said: "Do you know the identity of that knight?"

"It's from Magic Island." Ace didn't hide anything from Nou, "He was originally sent by Magic Island to Rose Castle. I don't know if it was a mistake, or Princess Mary did it on purpose. He became Bernadette's guardian. Knight. Not long after Bernadette arrived at Rose Castle, he followed her."

Nou sneered.

He didn't believe that the Magic Island had no plans. In the original situation of the Green family, Princess Bernadette was very likely to inherit the title.Controlling an innocent little girl can be said to be the best choice for Magic Island.

Ace naturally knew that Noou was unhappy, and he would not be happy if someone plotted against his own sister, but he still said truthfully: "I have seen Bernadette's guardian knight. He is now a ninth-level swordsman and looks like He is also very handsome, and he treats Bernadette very considerately, if he is not willing to stay here, he can have other ways out." A ninth-level swordsman is definitely overqualified for a noble lady to be a knight.

"He has been very sincere to Bernadette for many years." If it weren't for this, when Noel brought back Princess Bernadette, he wouldn't have kept the guardian knight by her side.Ace continued: "Bernadette also likes him very much. The two are happy, this is a rare thing."

Nou looked at Ace sharply, and he said, "Why are you talking for them like this?"

Ace let out a laugh, seeing that he couldn't be fooled, and told him honestly, "Bernadette accepted our business very quickly, which is better than the best situation I imagined." I heard that there will be no more troublesome people at home. The hated sister-in-law, Princess Bernadette, could not be described as overjoyed.She was full of joy that she was going to have a handsome and powerful brother again.

Princess Bernadette is Nou's closest blood relative, and Ace always hopes to get her blessing.

Ace knew that the inheritance of the Green family was Nou's obsession. He said, "Bernadette promised that her future child's name will be Green. You know, this way her range of spouse choices will be greatly reduced. It's not easy to meet someone she likes." people..."

Under Nuo's scorching gaze, Ace couldn't speak anymore.

"Compared with the inheritance of the Green family, I care more about Bernadette's happiness." Nou said, "I don't care about the background of that knight, and I don't even ask him whether he is proficient in culture and military strategy. Good Bernadette."

But Princess Bernadette chose to take a fancy to the people from Magic Island.

Ace said no more.He will not force Noou to make a decision with anyone, even if that person is Bernadette.

Nuo Ou said softly: "I'll think about it again."

Ace hugged his darling, and was about to get rid of his troubles, so he had a good night's sleep when he heard Nou say, "Before we go to the little plane, should you go see His Majesty Ludwig IV?" ?”

You keep postponing some things, trying to push them into an unknown abyss, but you are reminded at an inadvertent moment that you have to face it.

There is no escape.
