Skeleton King

Jude is a priest who was "born" in Hongyan Village.

He stayed in the village for a few years, and he didn't remember much. Then he met an old priest who traveled here. The old priest said that he was talented, so he took him out of Hongyan Village and traveled around.

Jude gradually understood that the plane they were in was so different.

They are not naturally conceived creatures, but created by humans from another plane.

The old priest told him, "They called us astrological puppets, or war puppets. They erased our minds and turned us into pure weapons, and this is the exile they chose for us."

From then on, Jude began to understand what his duty was.

The bodies of the astrology puppets have been transformed. They are no longer simply flesh and blood. They are more like metal creatures. As long as foreign objects do not completely destroy them, they will not live or die.It's a pity that their bodies can last forever, but their souls will gradually feel tired as the years go by.

For example, the sword masters and mages of another plane, regardless of their talent and temperament, are the most outstanding of their time, so they can go to the end and enter the holy rank.After that, they can also strengthen their souls through acquired practice.

The people in their planes are different. Most of the people transformed into astrological puppets are prisoners of war, and there are also ordinary people.After an extremely long time, some souls gradually disappeared.

Sacrifice also came into being.

The sacrifice is to erase the memory of these tired souls, put them into a long sleep, and when they wake up again one day, they can start again.The prayer that Ace and the others observed a few days ago was that the villagers were preparing for this year's Sabbath. They would soon send some people away and welcome others back.

Around the Sabbath every year is also the busiest time for Hongyan Village.

It will be Sabbath in a few days, and priest Jude decided to go to the altar for a final inspection.When Priest Jude left the Dormition Hall, he noticed Nou in the outer hall. He remembered the warning from the Dormition Hall not long ago. Although they found nothing, he was still a little worried.

He looked at Nuoou, put his hands on his chest, hooked his two fingers together, and spread his four fingers apart, comparing the movements of Asuka.

Johannes looked at Nou who came out with the priest in surprise, and said, "My lord..."

When praying, there are powerful weapons as offerings, which can often get twice the result with half the effort. The Sword of Judgment picked up before the sacrifice is regarded as a tribute by them.

But now that the famous sword has its owner, Johannes never dared to think about the tribute anymore, and never thought that the priest would bring Nuoou with him.

Priest Jude reminded him, "We're just going to see."

There is very little running water in the small plane, and the climate in most places is very dry. Such a desolate scenery often makes people despair, such as the knights of the Knights who entered here.

But the people in Hongyan Village are different, they are used to the monotonous environment here.

The people in the village pray in an orderly manner. They have experienced thousands of prayers when they remember and don't remember. This thing is like their instinct.

Today the priest was present, and the prayer became more solemn. Even Little John, who often deserted, sat upright until the end.

Priest Jude stood quietly at the front, he didn't make any movements, he was the only one who knew the secret of the Sabbath - prayers were not for those who had fallen asleep, the greatest effect of these prayers was to calm the minds of the living and relieve Their souls——he could feel the state of the souls of the villagers in Hongyan Village from his prayers, the blazing soul fires of the soldiers in the village, the unusually bright soul fires of Little John, and the flickering dim soul fires of the village chief Johannes.

Priest Jude also allocated some energy to Nuoou. He thought about inviting other priests to come to Hongyan Village after the Sabbath.It is best to have priests who know Nuo Ou's identity, and without them, they can discuss a countermeasure for Nuo Ou's situation.

Do they send Nooh to his eternal sleep or try his injuries.

At this moment, Noou's figure flickered, and he disappeared from the place where he was standing.

Priest Jude suddenly turned his head, behind a boulder hundreds of meters behind the altar, Nuo Ou firmly grasped a stranger.

The person caught by Nou...

Ace really wouldn't be so unlucky without him. Seeing the people from Hongyan Village coming, he wanted to take a closer look.They have tried many times before, and this place is definitely a safe distance!

But he didn't expect that Nuo'ou would catch him!

Soon, the soldiers of Hongyan Village surrounded Nou and Allen, and they stared at Ace with vigilance.Due to the special geographical environment of Hongyan Village - the space is unstable, there are often space cracks in the Gobi, which is the main reason why there are few people here - but from time to time, objects will fall here from other places in the small plane, and sometimes There will be people.

But in such a short period of time, two strangers suddenly appeared, which is very unusual.

The soldiers stepped aside, and Jude walked in. He looked carefully at the man caught by Nou for a while—he was in his twenties, with short black hair and eyes, and a beautiful spot on his wheat-colored skin. The runes of Noou are somewhat similar but different from Nou's.

Now, Ace kept complaining in his heart, and after confirming that Nuo'ou was in the resting hall, he kept thinking about how to see Nuo'u again.Just like what he helped Noou do before, he also applied a lot of concoction on his body and drew runes, but the concoction they collected and processed at that time was only enough for Noou to use, Ace painted After finishing the runes, I applied a shallow layer of potion on my body, but the potion was not enough.

This resulted in Ace's skin being significantly lighter than the others, only slightly darker than Jude's.Before he was ready to go to Hongyan Village, he caught them.

Jude walked to Nou's side, looked at Ace, and asked, "Are you a trainee priest? How did you get here?"

The information on the small plane obtained by Ace did not include any descriptions of trainee priests or priests. He was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I am going out with a few companions to a place far away. I am passing through a canyon. At that time, the ground suddenly split open, I fell, and Nou saved me, and then we came here. As for the apprentice priest, I don’t know if I am an apprentice priest.”

Jude looked at Nou, he only knew Nou's name now.

Nou firmly grasped Ace's hand, but did not attack Ace. It may be that Nou's last consciousness when passing through the space crack was to protect this person, Jude judged.

He asked Ace again, "Where did you live before?"

Ace quickly replied, "Beicun."

Jude: ...

Jude asked again: "Where is Beicun?"

Allen answered faster this time, "North of South Village is North Village. Our two villages are the largest nearby villages. There are East Village and West Village farther away. People from their villages often come to our village to buy stuff, but we rarely go to them."

The doubts in Jude's heart were dispelled, because of the characteristics of puppets, they will not grow or age, and they cannot judge a person's actual age from his appearance. If Ace just "woke up" and said It is quite normal to not know which village I was in before.

Johannes also came over. He heard what Ace said just now. He asked Jude for advice, "Sacrifice?"

Jude thought for a while, and finally made a decision. He said to Ace: "You, Nuoou, come back to the village with us. You can live in the Dorm Hall first."
