Skeleton King

Until Ace and the others went to the magic island, Ace didn't talk to Norn.According to Nuo Ou, "If Nuo En was still a child, he could breathe into your face with one paw."

Reunited many years later, Ace didn't even recognize him as the dragon cub.Tsk.

Ace looked at Nou pitifully. Although he didn't get slapped, he didn't look much better than he didn't get slapped.

Nou held back his laughter and turned his head away.In any case, Ace will not be in a bad mood to see Norn on the eve of going to the magic island.

After so many years, Ace has become one of the few strong men in several planes, with the city that never sleeps and the world of death behind him. Norn has also grown up and become the patriarch of the Dragon Clan.No matter how bad their situation was, could it be worse than back then?

Ace got frustrated with Norn, so he had to come to Sykes, "Didn't you say that Norn is in the small plane? Why is he here?"

"Why is he here?" Sykes looked at his silly brother, very speechless, "You ask me, who should I ask?" He didn't come to look for his silly brother.

"I should go find him." Ace smacked his lips, feeling very uncomfortable, "He doesn't want to talk to me now, can you go and ask me, how is he doing in the small plane these days? I heard The fighting was not going well there."

"Then he's willing to talk to me?!" Sykes was really pissed off by his silly brother Qingqi's brain circuit. He would never admit that when he hadn't become a Juggernaut, he was brought to him by Norn on Dragon Island. An absolute psychological shadow.This psychological shadow has not been completely eliminated until now.

"You can ask Alice to ask." Ace suggested, "They are of the same race."

Sykes immediately refused, "Alice is a silver dragon, and Norn is a golden dragon. Thank you, they are not of the same race. Their relationship is not so good."

Sykes was worried that Ace would pester him again, and said again: "I saw Jacob, you can follow him to meet the island owner. I will send the knights to the small plane, and I will come to you later." Then he took With the silver dragon Alice left the coast.

The magic island is not as beautiful and rich as in the ballads. The coast is full of black reefs, instead of the legendary beach full of gold and gemstones, and the clouds in the sky are not colorful.Jacob, the future owner of the magic island, still wears a gray robe. He doesn't use his eyes, but only his perception. You can't even detect his existence. He just walked towards Ace and the others in an ordinary way.

The knights behind Ace and Nou are disembarking, and then they will go to the node of the small plane on the magic island-most of them don't know what fate awaits them.

They knew they were about to experience a tough battle on the lesser plane—some unfamiliar battlefield—but they didn't know anything about the severity of the battle or the strength of their enemies.

Ace looked at Jacob: "Shall we go see your teacher now? I've been curious about the magic island and the little plane for too long."

Jacob looked at Ace and Nou, turned sideways, and made an invitation gesture, "Please follow me. Teacher has been waiting for you for a long time."

The owner of the magic island lives on a tall tower, just like the story told by the old grandmother to the children. It is a tall, dark tower standing on the edge of the isolated island. It is said that this tower is the closest to the stars in this plane. place.

The orbit of the stars hints at the fate of mankind, and this tower is also known as the Tower of Destiny.

Jacob entered the tower before them, "Teacher is not in a good mood right now, he wakes up and sleeps sometimes, I'll go up and have a look first."

Ace, Nou and others are under the tower.

This kind of waiting was not boring, because soon, Ace saw Norn on the cliff behind the tower.

Noou still stood where he was, and Ace walked over.Norn looked at Ace from time to time, obviously wanting to talk to him, but he didn't take the initiative to come over.Nuoou watched Norn's birth and growth at the same time as Ace. He never thought that the frank and innocent little dragon cub would become so arrogant and twisted.It's all Ace's fault.

"Nuen, how are you all these years?" Ace's tone was very gentle, but Nuoen still didn't like Ace's appearance as an elder, as if he was still the little dragon who couldn't do anything back then.

But Nuoen came to find Ace in the territory of the owner of the magic island now, not to blame Ace for what a bad adult he is.Norn said: "Do you know what the owner of the magic island asked you for? How dare you go to the magic island?"

"The owner of the magic island wants me to go to the small plane." Ace first learned some facts from Angelica, and then he went to the port of Nice, met two old people, and almost pieced together all the fragments of the truth , he will also find the remaining fragments in Magic Island, "The small plane has the star map arranged by the astrologer at the beginning, because it has been damaged for a long time, as long as we can repair it, we can regain control of the small plane, including the small plane. The people inside, they will also turn back into astrology puppets. The magic island has sent several waves of people to try to repair the star map, but they have all gone and never returned."

"Since you know very well, why do you still come to Magic Island? Do you know who was sent by Magic Island before?" Norn looked at Ace with disgust, "Why are you so overconfident?!"

Ace smiled, "Nuen, are you caring about me?"

Anyway, he knows, what am I worrying about?Nou looked at Ace with impatient eyes, and he said this sincerely, "You are more annoying than I remember."

Norn had finished speaking.

Golden wings appear on the edge of the cliff and can be seen from far away.

The golden dragon flapped its wings and left the magic island, and the gust of wind blown by Norn made Ace feel unsteady on the edge of the cliff.

Ace watched him fly into the sky, across the sea, until he disappeared into the clouds.

When Ace walked back, Nou asked him: "What's the matter, they broke up again? Norn has come over on his own initiative, so you can't talk properly?"

Ace was sullen, "How do you know I didn't talk properly?"

"I heard it all." Nou looked sideways at Ace.With such a small distance, Ace and Norn did not use magic to isolate the sound, and Nuoou is a sword master, so how could he not hear what the two of them were saying.

Naturally, the two people in the magic tower also knew that Norn had been here.

Ace thought about the golden phantom of Norn flying away from the cliff just now, "No matter how many times I watched him fly away from my eyes, I felt uncomfortable." Even though the situation now is very different from many years ago, that kind of It still feels like a shadow.

Nou took Ace's hand.

No matter how many partings they have to go through in their lives, there is still someone by their side who will stay with them for a long time.

Jacob didn't go there for too long, and he appeared at the door of the tower again, "Teacher, please go up."

Ace and Noel followed Jacob up the tower. The stairs were narrow and dark and damp because it was by the sea. This tower was not as good as the magic tower of ordinary magicians. There is no magic circle, and there is no star chart used by astrologers.

Even a strong ordinary person who lives here all year round will suffer from various diseases, not to mention weak magicians and astrologers.

"The teacher said that any artificial fluctuations in the magic elements will affect his understanding of the stars." Jacob seemed to know what Ace and Nou were thinking, and he said, "So, there will be no magic in the teacher's residence. Formation, traces of the star map."

As they passed the last flight of stairs, their vision instantly widened.

The top floor of the tower is not as cramped as its stairs, on the contrary, it is very open.There is only a low stone wall on the top of the tower, and there are a few iron wires on the wall. These iron wires extend upwards, making a spire.

An old man with a white beard and hair sat in the middle of the top of the tower, and he had blue eyes.These eyes were astonishingly bright, yet unusually deep.He watched Ace appear here following Jacob, there seemed to be billions of stars in his eyes, and it seemed that countless years in the past and future flashed through.

He said, "You are here."

The owner of the magic island is older than Ace imagined, probably because he has been in such an environment for a long time, and more likely because his life has come to an end.

The owner of the magic island was wearing a shabby white robe, and the two legs exposed under his robe were as thin as a few-year-old child. Ace even suspected that he had lost the ability to walk.Unlike the weakness shown by the owner of the magic island, the aura around him was extremely strong, as if it was burning.Ace had a bad premonition that the owner of the magic island is really running out of time.

No matter how bad their relationship with Magic Island is, they still stand together when it comes to the small plane.The owner of the small plane has not broken through the node so far, but he is concerned about the owner of the magic island on the side of the plane.If the owner of the magic island really falls, can they still keep the war confined to the small plane?

"You are the second Skeleton King I have ever seen. The last time I saw the Skeleton King, I was an ignorant toddler. Now, I am an old man in the sunset." The owner of the magic island looked He looked omniscient, "King of Skeletons, Ace Neumann, I think you already know why I asked you to come to Magic Island."

"For the star map of the small plane." Facing such an old man in his dying years, Ace couldn't say any harsh words, but there would be no good words, "Magic Island has not fulfilled its responsibility to maintain the star map of the small plane. So I came to seek help from people outside the island."

"This is the responsibility of the entire continent, not just the magic island." The owner of the magic island said.

"At that time, the two empires gave this place freedom, so that the people here should exercise the responsibility of jailers. The prisoners in the small plane are your responsibility." Ace didn't like the words of the owner of the magic island. He had already heard Jacob's speech. It’s been similar, the magic island has brainwashed itself too much these years, “Otherwise, what is the reason for the island owner to think that the two empires continue to enshrine the magic island? It’s for the sake of sending food, armor, and magic raw materials here for thousands of years without asking for anything in return. What? Cultivate a force out of their control?

As much as the magic island gets, it should pay.

It was because of the mistakes of the magic island that the people from the small plane escaped, which led to those disasters. "

The owner of the Magic Island said lightly, "King of Skeletons, you are too sharp. In this case, you will not be able to reach our level." The "we" of the owner of the Magic Island refers to him of course. The king of the king, and the master of the small plane, that is, the existence beyond the holy rank.

He called Ace the Skeleton King, recognizing his identity, but he didn't have any of his strength.

Ace and the owner of the magic island have been looking at each other for a long time. No matter whether Ace has the combat power beyond the existence of the holy rank, his influence on the plane war is no less than that of the owner of the magic island. This is how he can stand Here, the basis for equal dialogue with the owner of the magic island.

Neither of them could convince the other.

Instead, the owner of the magic island took the initiative to change the subject, "Do you know the star of hope?"

Ace subconsciously blocked Nou who was standing behind her, and made a gesture of protection, "Jacob told me something." Besides, Ace couldn't find any relevant information in the old Skeleton King's handbook. Records of the Star of Hope.

The owner of Magic Island said: "Everyone who uses the Star of Hope has become an existence beyond the holy rank. This is true for me, and so is the owner of the small plane."

Ace understood the meaning of the owner of the magic island, and his face changed slightly.

The tone of the owner of the magic island is indifferent, and nothing can shake him anymore. That person couldn't leave back then, and neither can Ace now!

The owner of the magic island said: "The collapse of the fortress always comes from the inside. The magic island is no exception. In a way, today's fruit is indeed the cause of the magic island planted many years ago. It's just not us, it will If there are others, it will evolve into today's situation.

You should have seen it, my life is coming to an end.A long time ago, maybe 100 years ago, I started looking for an heir.The inheritance of astrologers I got was originally imperfect. It is extremely difficult to find an excellent student and pass on as much knowledge as possible to me.

Until I met that kid..."
