Skeleton King

The Golden Lion Juggernaut brought a small silver sword.

Ace took the small sword curiously, and asked, "What is this?"

"The sword formed by the solidification of battle energy." The Golden Lion Sword Master said lightly: "Using it is equivalent to [-]% of the combat power of the Silver Sword Master. It is usually given by the powerful Sword Master to protect the younger generation. Similarly, because every Everyone's battle qi is different, even the same kind of inherited battle qi will have subtle differences, you take this, it will lead you to find the Silver Glory Sword Master."

Jacob nodded to Ace, confirming that it was something left by the Silver Juggernaut.

Ace asked: "Then we don't even know where we are going? Can we only go to the Silver Sword Master first?"

"Although Magic Island says that the teacher is an astrologer, you also understand the facts. The inheritance of astrologers we have obtained is not complete, and many key points are missing." Jacob said helplessly: "Silver Sword Master The reason why I can help repair the star map is because he has the last astrolabe of Magic Island, which is the one I took to the imperial capital of the Finger Empire last time. Only with the guidance of the astrolabe can we find the damaged place of the star map."

"What a hassle," Ace murmured.If the astrolabe has been destroyed and taken away by the master of the minor plane, their task will become almost impossible to complete.

The Golden Lion Juggernaut's complexion was not very good. Jacob mentioned the matter of the Imperial Capital of the Finger Empire, which brought him into that very bad memory again.

He still doesn't know that Ace is of the blood of the pansy royal family.

Ace is a matter of the royal family, it is just a rumor about the imperial capital of the Pansy Empire, and the gossip has not yet reached the small plane.Now, he has decided that it was Ace and Jacob who jointly played tricks on him and Princess Muse.

Norn and Jacob circulated information on the small plane compiled by the Golden Lion Juggernaut.

Jacob knows the history of the small plane best. People from Magic Island also brought back news from here. After checking, he said, "It's not much different from the previous situation."

Norn has been in the small plane for many years, and he knows it better than others. He didn't speak after reading it, but just nodded to Ace.

The things to be done are done, and Ace and the others don't plan to stay in the Golden Lion Knights for a long time, so they want to leave.The Golden Lion Sword Master asked: "The camp has prepared a reception feast for you, do you want to eat before leaving?"

"No need." Jacob waved his hand and said, "Let's go find the Silver Juggernaut as soon as possible."

"I'll take you there." The Golden Lion Sword Master didn't keep them any longer, and said directly: "Sometimes there will be spies from the small plane near the nodes, and they are basically fast holy ranks. Unless our side has several times more than Their people, surround them immediately, or they may have read the information thoroughly and let them run away. You are all unfamiliar faces, and you don’t want to attract their attention when you just arrive in the small plane. I can take you Avoid them."

Jacob thought for a while, but he did not reject the Golden Lion Juggernaut, "Then I would like to thank the Golden Lion Juggernaut."

The Golden Lion Juggernaut was not polite either.He took Jacob's thanks, went out of the tent, and found his chestnut-colored horse in the camp.Ace and the others also picked out horses in the camp.

They don't intend to use fighting spirit and magic power to rush on their way. The magic elements in the small plane are far less concentrated than in the real world.They consume too much while on the road, and if they encounter a battle suddenly, they will become very passive.Here, every point of their magic power and grudge is extremely precious.

……

The Golden Lion Juggernaut is indeed very familiar with the environment near the node of the small plane. He led Ace and the others through the hills, through the vast wasteland, and came to the high mountains one after another.It can be seen that the Golden Lion Juggernaut is very serious about guarding the small plane, and will bring people out to patrol from time to time, so that he can be as familiar with the small plane as his own backyard.

Jacob asked the Golden Lion Juggernaut some questions about the supplies of the knights, and how to appease the knights so that they can concentrate on fighting.The Golden Lion Juggernaut is equally concerned with the pensions of fallen knights.

The Finger Empire has also sent more than [-] knights to the small plane one after another. I don’t know how many knights’ bones are buried here, and some knights’ numbers have been canceled forever.They can't do anything for the dead, they have to leave something for the living.

Jacob answered one by one, and the Golden Lion Juggernaut seemed very satisfied.

The Golden Lion Sword Master suddenly said: "You really can't lie at all."

He gave Jacob a meaningful look.

Jacob's hands holding the reins froze. Unexpectedly, the Sword Master of the Golden Lion changed his subject sharply, and said, "In this way, I have an explanation for the knights who sacrificed their lives. At least their families can live comfortably."

Of course, both Jacob and the Golden Lion Juggernaut knew this was not the case.The knights of many knight orders have fiefs, which are non-hereditary fiefs bestowed by their lords, and will be taken back after their death.These knights died in battle on the small plane, and no matter how much pensions were given to their families, their quality of life would drop rapidly.

But what would they do if they didn't hold back the natives of the small plane like this?

Jacob said: "Only if we really repair the star map, the natives of the small plane will not cross the node, the sacrifices of those knights will not be in vain, and their families will be able to spend the rest of their lives safely."

"Do you really think so?" The Sword Master of the Golden Lion said calmly, looking straight ahead without looking at Jacob. "Jacob, you are the future owner of the magic island. But you have never been to the small plane, and you don't know how the natives of the small plane live, and what this war is like. If it weren't for this time Repairing the star map must have you, the owner of the magic island will not even let you in the small plane, will he?"

"You are sitting on the island of the safest fortress in the entire plane, inheriting the most powerful force in the entire plane, and giving orders to this war that you don't understand at all." Golden Lion Sword Master said: "Do you think you can command the magic island?" The holy order of the two empires and the knight orders of the two empires are invincible, can we win this inevitable war?"

Jacob felt that the words of the Golden Lion Juggernaut had no good intentions.But Jacob has been in contact with the astrologer's inheritance since he was a child. The astrologer's inheritance told him not to let anger affect his judgment, and only by throwing away unnecessary emotions can he get the truth.

Jacob's self-cultivation was indeed good. He thought carefully about the words of the Golden Lion Juggernaut, and he had to admit that some of the words of the Golden Lion Juggernaut were correct.His understanding of this war is really too little and too one-sided, but he can't explain the teacher's regret to the Golden Lion Sword Master, and explain that the teacher's overprotection of him is entirely because he is worried that he will repeat the same mistakes.

The Golden Lion Juggernaut didn't seem to want to hear his answer very much.

They continued to move forward in silence. Besides Ace and the others, the Golden Lion Juggernaut brought two knights with him, and they followed far behind.

……

Ace urged the horse on his lap to run quickly so that he could be side by side with Norn.He tried to open up the conversation with Nuon, "Nuen, Sykes said that you were either in Dragon Island or in the small plane these years, have you been here?"

Norn's brows and eyes were indifferent, and he didn't look at Ace, and said lightly: "I'm on the front line."

Near the node, it is already the rear of the forces belonging to the magic island.

Ace hesitated, and then said, "I heard that you broke through the holy rank on the battlefield?"

Norn pulled the rein suddenly, because of the natural coercion of the dragons—even if Norn tried to restrain himself—the little black horse on his crotch was trembling with fright.This time, the little black horse turned into a statue, not daring to move.It didn't know how to make the dragon on its back unhappy, and its heart almost stopped beating.

Norn turned his head——a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy is at his most beautiful, not to mention he has such a pair of eyes that are incomparable to the most beautiful amber, and he has a powerful personality that is completely opposite to his appearance. The majestic momentum.

Really, very attractive.

Norn looked directly at Ace, his sharp eyes seemed to shoot him through, "Do you want to ask, why did I break through the holy rank before I was old?"

Even though the flow of time in the small plane is different from that of the outside world, Norn does not stay in the small plane all year round. According to the situation of Norn that Sykes told Ace last time, Norn should take a few years to break through.

So even when Ace had a vague sense of familiarity with Norn when he met him at sea, he never thought about Norn.

"Yes." Estan admitted frankly, "I thought I could come back to find you before you became an adult."

Norn scoffed.It is impossible to wear away the imprint left between them by too long a time, and the faces of the people who were once close to each other and Xiaolong will not be blurred.

"I have a question for you too," Norn said.

Ace said, "Are you asking?"

Nuo En said: "You told me back then that it was for my own good to send me away, right? You also thought so in your heart, right?"

"Yes." Ace still doesn't think he did anything wrong.If it wasn't for that, if Norn didn't start learning dragon magic at the right age, his innate wisdom would slowly regress - just like someone once secretly stole dragon eggs from Dragon Island, and finally he raised them. The dragon of the dragon just digs in the ground like a dog.

There was no way Ace could have imagined Norn becoming like that.

This is the most unacceptable thing for him.

He couldn't accept that the norn lost what he should have - the strength, wisdom, beauty, and grace of the dragons.He wants to give him the best of everything, instead of selfishly keeping him around, making him mediocre, and yelling at him fiercely one day, "You made me like this. "

He dreaded taking on that responsibility.

"Okay." The corner of Nuo En's mouth twitched with sarcasm, and he said, "I'll tell you what you want to know. When I first went to Long Island, I hated you very much. Elder Edward is very good, he told me you Follow me back to Dragon Island and escort me all the way back. He told me that even if you can break through the holy rank, the sword master can only live for 300 years, and the wizard can only live for 1000 years.

At that time, I was just an adult, and I just had the ability to survive independently of Dragon Island...

you will die.

I practice desperately and hard, and I want to go back to see you.But Elder Edward told me that the Dragon Clan can only break through the holy rank when they are adults, and no matter how hard I try, I can't let this process come earlier.They let me practice because the harder I worked when I was young, the stronger I would be as an adult.

But I don't want to practice anymore.Because no matter how powerful I become, you bastard will be dead when I go back!You probably never thought of picking me up, you are already dead, how did you pick me up? "

Ace wanted to tell him that he was the Skeleton King.

Even if his physical body dies, he will not really die.

But he has no way to lie to Norn, and he has no way to lie to himself again. When they were still in the port of Nice, he was not sure of inheriting the title of Skeleton King. He had the heart that he might never see Norn again. sent him away.

He is also very reluctant.

He even secretly hoped that Norn would not be able to find the way to Dragon Island, or that Dragon Island did not exist at all, and the adult dragons on Dragon Island would not welcome the little dragon he held in his hand... But all the bad things None of the cases happened.

Instead, everything went miraculously well.

Norn successfully found the way to Dragon Island. Elder Edward and other giant dragons on Dragon Island are also very kind to Norn. Norn will get more love than staying by his side—if Norn stays by his side, He had to hide Norn every day to prevent him from being discovered, and he had very little time with him.

"You don't understand at all, I don't care about all your worries." Norn's eyes were clear, and he had already shed all the tears he wanted to shed for this bastard when he was still very young, "...Edward The elder finally persuaded the other dragons on Dragon Island to allow me to come to the small plane to practice. I will experience more fights here and grow faster. I will be like the best golden dragons in the history of the dragon clan In that way, in the countless killings, beyond the constraints of the blood, I became an existence beyond the holy rank when I was an adult. Of course, Elder Edward lied to them. Elder Edward just wanted the dragon on Long Island to allow me to come out. I only have Only in the small plane can the time of adulthood be greatly shortened, and I can go back to find you sooner."

Ace wanted to say "I'm sorry", he didn't expect that in a place he didn't know, Xiaolong made so much effort to go back to find him.

But compared to those pasts, what is the use of a fluffy "I'm sorry"?

Norn continued: "Later, you should also know that the natives of the small plane attacked aggressively, and the positions of the magic island were missed one after another. The defense line we were at at that time was not far from the node of the plane. If we did not stop the small plane The natives, who will stop them? A sword master with two or three kittens in the back, or a few human knights? My kindred were seriously injured and disabled in front of me, and even a selfish human like you died I don’t know how much. Who else could save them at that time? Ace Neumann, only you will treat me as a cub. To other humans, dragons, and monsters in the defense line of the small plane, I am A savior-like existence. Even if you don't care about me, who can you expect to really care about me?"

Norn admitted that he said that on purpose, he just wanted to see Ace regret, sad, want to see him teetering on the horse, his face pale, his eyes lost.

Nuoen was happy and sad at the same time.

"I broke through." Norn said softly: "I broke through when I was still a long time before I became an adult. Sure enough, I was stronger than ordinary holy ranks when I was just an adult. If I fight for a long time, I can even consume The owner of the magical island who will die to the end of his life. Ace Neumann, are you proud?"

Ace opened his eyes slightly, and these eyes, which looked very much like Mrs. Caroline's, had a thrilling beauty when they were absent-minded.But now, these charming eyes are full of pity.

"Do you know what the Elder of the Magic Island who checked me after the battle said?" Norn looked at the charming eyes he once loved, and his chest was filled with the pleasure of revenge, "He said, if I didn't Breakthrough ahead of time, if I wait until adulthood, I will not be a holy rank of both magic and martial arts, I will directly become an existence beyond the holy rank.

Ace Neumann, do you know why?

Because when I was very young, you enlightened me, and my wisdom developed much earlier than the little dragons of the same age; when the little dragons of the same age were still in the nest, waiting for the dragon father and mother to feed, you Take me to the World of Warcraft Forest to learn how to fly and how to hunt; because you quietly feed me some star medicine every day, helping me nourish and strengthen the fire of my soul...

If it weren't for the fact that the dragon eggs on Dragon Island couldn't hatch, Elder Edward would have wanted to find you, ask you how to raise dragons, and learn from you.When I first arrived at Long Island, they discovered that you raised me very well...

If you don't send me back to Dragon Island, a lot of things won't happen, I don't have to race against time, I won't come to the small plane, I won't encounter that war... I will be like everyone in the history of Dragon Clan Like the most outstanding golden dragon, adulthood is an existence beyond the holy rank, and I will become the most powerful dragon king of this era.

Unfortunately, none of this will happen.

The elder said, I will always remain the way I am now, I will not grow up again, and the damage caused to me by early adulthood is irreversible. "

Nuoen withdrew his gaze from Ace, looked forward, and said softly: "Ace Neumann, have you ever thought that you put me by your side and raised me up. Even after you break through the holy order , and then send me to Dragon Island. I will grow up in peace, no matter whether you can become the king of the undead world, I will have you by my side for all the time when I am not an adult. When you really die, or when you are sealed in the undead world King, I will also grow up and grow into the golden dragon you want me to be, and become the most powerful dragon king in this era."

Norn rode away on the little black horse, "But those can only exist in our dreams. Ace Neumann, I will guard Dragon Island for the rest of my life, and you will stay in the dead world, stay in the Twin Cities .I will not go to you crying again. After I die, I will return to the Dragon Tomb. After the star map of the small plane is completed, we will probably not meet again. Ace Neumann, Do you regret it?
