Skeleton King

While Ace was reshaping the rune for Little John, the middle-aged villagers stayed outside the village.Although this matter was requested by Little John, but without his cooperation, things would not have gone so smoothly.

If Little John died in the Rest Hall, he might not be able to stay in the village any longer. The middle-aged villagers felt very bitter.

But many choices in life are often beyond the control of reason.

There were many times when the village head Johannes was busy and entrusted little John to the care of middle-aged villagers.This child was unexpectedly sensible. Every time he had a physical problem, he endured it silently, not bothering the priests, and begged the middle-aged villagers not to tell his grandfather.Little John lived so hard, not for himself, but for those who loved him.

Seeing Jude coming, the middle-aged villagers just wanted to go up to plead guilty, "Sacrifice..."

Jude stretched out his hand to stop him from speaking.Jude stood motionless at the door of the Dormition Hall, he wanted to engrave the scene in front of him carefully and meticulously in his mind.

……

Reshaping the runes on Little John's body, and constantly modifying and improving them, Ace's understanding of runes has improved by leaps and bounds in the past two days, even what he didn't understand about the astrologer's inheritance has gradually become clear.

Ace felt the movement of the star power on Little John, and there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.

It turned out that this was the astrologer.

At this moment, Ace used the quill pen to draw again. He seemed to be in the endless starry sky. Whether it was Little John or himself, they were all like a speck of dust compared to this vast universe.

He vaguely understood how countless generations of astrologers viewed them, and that the holy ranks were freed from the shackles of mortals, and they only existed in this universe for a moment.They are all so insignificant, like fish and shrimp in a rolling river, destined to drift with the current.

Only astrologers, they jumped out of the water for a short time, and got a glimpse of the truth of this world.They saw the trend of history and the future of mankind, so they made arrangements in advance.

Most of the practice systems in the present world are to strengthen oneself, to transform quantitatively to qualitatively, and to transform.The reason why astrologers can master greater power is that they understand the trajectory of the stars and can borrow the power of the stars.

Ace's eyes flashed with a golden brilliance, his black hair hadn't been cut for a long time, it was a little long, and it was automatic without wind, and there was a pansy logo on the center of his eyebrows that flickered on and off.

The quill in Ace's hand finally tapped Little John's forehead.

At the same time, the quill also completed its ultimate mission, turned into a little green light, and disappeared completely.

Ace smiled, he wasn't sure about Little John's condition, but there was no doubt that he had improved a lot after this.He dodged to Nou's side again, and directly grabbed Nou's Judgment Sword. He flicked the Judgment Sword with his hand, and the runes on the sword disappeared without a trace.

Thinking of the fact that Nuo'ou had been by their side every step of the way for the past two days, and the concern in his eyes at this moment, he held the sword of judgment, Nuo'ou, and did not stop him.Ace couldn't help but feel flustered, lowered his head, and kissed the pale lips.

Do not--

Ace felt a pain in his lower abdomen, and he was kicked out by Noou!

Really merciless!

Ace hit the wall of the Dormition Hall directly, and he covered his stomach with his hands. He knew without looking at him that he must be blue.

The starlight in the Dorm Hall gradually dissipated, and Little John floated down like a feather, and lay flat on the stone chair.Outside the hall, the village chief Johannes stared blankly at the direction of the sky, unable to understand: "Sacrifice, just now..."

Jude said calmly: "The world is changing, only the high priest can have the means."

Then the next moment, Jude and Johannes heard a muffled hum from the hall, it was Ace's voice.

They hurried in.

Johannes glanced at Little John first to confirm that he was fine, then hurried to the wall and helped Ace up, "Master Ace?"

Although Johannes had already guessed that Lord Ace had an extraordinary background, he never thought that Lord Ace was a high priest before.In the entire small plane, the high priests are the top existences, and they are legendary figures.

The village chief Johannes never dared to think about Ace and Nou staying in the village.

Ace was kicked, his face twitched in pain, and the pansy logo between his eyebrows was also huddled together.He squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "It's okay."

The village chief Johannes asked with concern: "Did Master Ace suffer from a backlash?"

Ace made sure they didn't see anything just now, he laughed, and said vaguely, "It's about the same."

He glanced at Nou.

Nuoou stood there with a frosty face, he didn't care what they were saying, and he wouldn't come to tear him down.

Only Jude wondered, the power of the priest was peaceful, and he had never heard of backlash, so could it be different to become a high priest?

Jude walked up to Little John, and poured star power into Little John's body as he always did. "Huh?" Jude was very surprised.This exclamation also attracted the attention of Ace and the village chief Johannes.

Little John woke up slowly, and he saw the village head Johannes at the first sight, "Grandpa, are you back?"

Before the village chief Johannes could speak, Jude pointed to the Doric column outside the Dormition Hall and ordered, "John, attack it!"

Little John subconsciously punched the Doric-like column—obedience to the priest's order was the idea that the village had instilled in him since he woke up, even though he knew that his attack would not affect the Doric-like column at such a long distance. The style has no effect, he will do the same-and then, to Little John's surprise, with the strong wind of his punch, it is accompanied by an illusory brown deer shadow.

This is……

"Battle Qi transforms into form." The word suddenly appeared in the deep memory of the village chief Johannes.

"No wonder." Jude murmured.

The most iconic difference between the eighth-level swordsman and the ninth-level swordsman is that the ninth-level swordsman can materialize the fighting spirit, just like when Princess Muse used the golden whip, Ace instantly judged that she was a ninth-level swordsman.

The physicalization of battle energy is also the biggest threshold for swordsmen before they can become saints. Countless eighth-level swordsmen with outstanding talents are stuck at this step, and there is no way to improve.

Swordsmen who can transform fighting spirit are undoubtedly the strongest in this era. They have comprehended this skill before the eighth level, but their fighting spirit is not deep enough to be materialized, so they can only make an illusory image .

In history, as long as such a talented swordsman does not die young, he can leave an extremely brilliant mark.

Ace was also shocked. Before that, Little John's strength had just reached the third level of swordsman, and he couldn't even emit fighting energy, let alone transforming fighting energy.He just wanted to perfect the runes on Little John's body as much as possible, and he never thought that this would make Little John's strength improve so much.

Ace quickly realized that Little John was definitely not weak before being transformed into an astrological puppet, with a high probability of being above level four, which enabled him to master power so quickly.

Village head Johannes half-kneeled on the ground, "Master Ace's kindness, Hongyan Village will never forget." Little John also understood what happened belatedly, and he quickly knelt down on the ground.

Ace quickly waved his hand and said, "No need. No need."

Little John didn't say anything, but the village chief Johannes had lived for more than 800 years. Ace always felt sorry for fooling him like this.

The village chief Johannes said some words of thanks again, knowing that Ace hadn't rested for more than two days, he also took little John away with great interest.

On the way home, Little John used his fighting spirit to transform into a deer from time to time. He got this new toy and couldn't put it down.The village head, Johannes, looked at the deer transformed by Little John, and there was a flash of kindness in his eyes. The awakening of Little John's fighting spirit brought back many memories in him. John's father, and the accident that changed the fate of their entire family.

Little John asked curiously, "Grandpa, is this grudge?"

"Yes." The mayor Johannes answered him.

Little John watched the imaginary deer jump into the distance, and then disappeared into the darkness.

The fighting energy in his body is too little, and his kung fu has been exhausted in such a short time.

Little John said: "Grandpa, didn't you say that fighting spirit can only be mastered by the strongest fighters? But I feel that my current strength is still very weak, and I can't even win a few martial arts competitions in the village."

"This is a saying from a long time ago..." The village head Johannes narrowed his eyes slightly, and the events of hundreds of years ago flashed before his eyes one by one. He still remembered the knights of the Pansy Empire who robbed their village at that time Regiment, they are invincible and unstoppable.

The village chief, Johannes, stroked Little John's hair slowly. After being transformed by the priest of Ace this time, there was a golden star mark on Little John's eyebrows.

The village chief Johannes said: "You are going to face a chaotic and turbulent era. You can't have a comfortable life like I did when I was a teenager, but only in this era can the real brave and strong emerge. John, you Being able to transform your fighting spirit does not mean how powerful you are, but you already have the possibility to become the overlord of one party. Before you grow to a high enough height, as long as your life is not in danger, promise me that this deer will not appear again gone."

Little John agreed.

But he still half understood, "Grandpa, what happened in the past?"

The village head Johannes asked him very solemnly: "John, if one day you become the most powerful person in the village, will you do everything you can to protect the village?"

Without even thinking about it, Little John replied, "Of course."

The village chief Johannes' voice was low and inaudible, and he didn't know whether he wanted Little John to hear it or not, "Then those things, just forget about them."

Because you already have a new future.

……

Jude presided over the Sabbath for three days, and he himself was very tired. Looking at Ace, he just had a thousand words to say, and he didn't know what to say first.

Jude said: "Are you going to rest in the inner hall?"

After Jude came back this time, his attitude towards Ace has changed 180 degrees, and Ace is not quite sure why.

He knew that the conditions in the inner hall were better, but he was more familiar with this place, so he refused, "No. I'm fine here."

Jude realized something, "Did your lord remember anything?"

Ace smiled, "I remembered something."

Jude asked with concern, "Does your lord remember which village you were in?"

"Beicun, I just remembered that there are three stone bridges between Beicun and Nancun, and there is a good breakfast shop at the head of Nancun." Ace said casually.

Jude: ...

Ace asked him, "Do you have a map here?"

After Ace deepened his understanding of the astrologer's inheritance, his strength has not yet recovered, but he has already felt that his realm is slightly loose - he also has some ideas about how to go to the road beyond the holy rank.

The more he knows about souls, the more certain he is about Noou's situation.

If he can get the map, he is also confident to take Nou back to the place where he, Norn and Jacob were separated.

"The map collection in Hongyan Village is not very large, and many of them are places where my teacher took me to travel. I wrote it down from memory later, which is not very accurate. We all avoided the big village at that time, and we should have never been to the adults before. The villages where I have been.” When the priests traveled, they went to small villages without resting halls, and helped them host the resting festival.

Jude said: "However, several nearby villages will hold a tournament at the beginning of next month. Among them, Xueyan Village is split from a huge village. It is said that they have kept a very complete map of the plane."

This map must be difficult to get, Ace knew in his heart, but Jude still pointed him in a direction.

He said: "I see, thank you."

After Jude bid farewell to Ace, he left.

……

Ace sat on the stone chair for a while, estimating the time, Jude had almost gone back to rest, he walked slowly to Nou's side, held Nou's hand, sat down, and muttered, " If you beat me again, I will ignore you..."

Nuo Ou looked at him without emotion, like a cold aristocratic son who came out of an oil painting.

It seems unreasonable, but let you hold his hand, Ace's heart is about to move again, but he has learned the previous lesson and tried his best to suppress his lust. Now he can't beat Noou, or in other words, in Under the premise of not summoning an army of undead, he has never been Noou's opponent in close combat.

Ace looked into Noou's eyes and said seriously, "Let me see your injury."

After he finished speaking, he approached Nuoou slowly, and kept an eye on Nuoou's movements. If Nuoou wanted to attack him again, he would definitely run away as fast as possible!

Finally, their foreheads touched each other.

Ace's original research on the soul is much deeper than that of ordinary mages, and he knows all kinds of subtle changes in the soul like the back of his hand.

After the inheritance of Ming Wu astrologer this time, his realm has deepened and he has seen more things.

Noou's soul fire is blue, it is extremely bright, jumping with vigor, and has an irresistible surging power.But now, this blazing flame is surrounded by layers of black threads, which imprison the fire of the soul like chains.

Ace looked at the shape of these chains, somehow, he remembered the chains that imprisoned Noou before.He was startled suddenly, wouldn't this become Nuoou's demon?

But they had already made their words clear, and Ace didn't believe that Noou would not understand his intentions.

But if this is not a demon...

Ace gradually discovered something new, these chains are not entwined around Nou's soul fire randomly, he has a shape, just like...

Like a scabbard!

Ace couldn't believe it. He remembered Jacob's description of Star of Hope. Did Nou actually pass the test of Star of Hope?It's just that Star of Hope has too little remaining power, and there is no way to provide Nuoou with a direct existence beyond the holy rank, but is he being subtly transformed?

Ace's heart is also up and down. If this is the case, there is an explanation for Nou's current situation-Nou's consciousness has entered a deep layer and is trying his best to break through, but his body is still acting instinctively.

Ace: ...

Ace was a little depressed. Nuo Ou hadn't told him about his possible breakthrough before, but he also knew that Nuo Ou might not be sure about this situation, or even realize it.

if it is like this……

Ace originally planned to find a chance to take Nuoou out of the Dorm Hall quietly. They went to Xueyan Village to take out the map, and then tried to find a way to join Nuoen and the others, but Nuoou is now facing a breakthrough, and he is still determined to focus on Nuoou .

Regardless of whether it is public or private, if Nuo Ou can become an existence beyond the holy rank, it will be beneficial to them and will not cause any harm.

Ace glanced at the decoration of the outer hall of the Astrology Hall, and thought carefully, if the energy of the Star of Hope is not enough, and Nou can't directly break through, then the most important thing for Nou now is to replenish the star power.He still doesn't understand the principle of the Astrology Hall for the time being, but the Dorm Hall is a natural place to gather star power, and Nuoou's stay here will definitely be of great benefit to his cultivation.

Ace decided to change the plan. They continued to stay in Hongyan Village for a while. He stood up, looked outside the Dorm Hall, and scolded, "Who?"
