Skeleton King

"Village Chief Johannes?" Ace didn't expect that the village chief Johannes would go back so soon. His first reaction was, "What happened to Little John?"

A trace of warmth flashed in the cold eyes of the village chief Johannes, very subtle, but it did exist, "Go back to Master Ace, Little John is fine."

At this time, Ace also saw the appearance of the village head Johannes clearly, the person who came was not kind.

Ace was very calm. He was waiting for Johannes to explain why he came here, and why he was burning with such a strong fighting spirit—brown fighting spirit all over his body, and the phantom of a giant deer could be faintly seen behind the village chief Johannes.

Ace had learned from John that his grandfather had the strength of an eighth-level swordsman.

Now it seems that the village chief Johannes is only one step away from level nine.He didn't make a breakthrough, except that he was restricted by his status as an astrological puppet, and his soul fire had been burning for too long, which had already begun to affect his state.

It's just that no one has seen him make a move for almost a hundred years. The villagers even agreed that the strength of the village chief Johannes has regressed to the point where even ordinary fighters can't beat him. Ace didn't expect that he could use such a powerful grudge.According to Jude, many astrological puppets can't use battle energy even if they have the strength of six or seven levels. This is another realm for them, and such people are mostly concentrated in those big villages.

The village chief Johannes suddenly said, "Master Ace is from Grimace Village, right?"

Ace was stunned for a moment. He had indeed never heard of the name of Grimace Village, even in the information given to him by the owner of Little Magic Island, but Grimace Village...

Ace thought of the grimace flower that he saw in the Finger Empire. In the Pansy Empire, this flower has another name-pansy.

Ace immediately had doubts in his heart, Grimace Village wouldn't have anything to do with the Pansy Empire, right?

Ace only slightly changed his color. The village chief, Johannes, was an old man, so he naturally wouldn't miss his change, and immediately confirmed his previous guess.

The village chief Johannes said slowly: "It turned out that Lord Ace hid it very well, and I didn't find it, but after the Lord helped Little John complete the rune, the sign of the Grimace Flower was revealed. In Grimace Village, this is also the core staff. Something."

Ace stroked the center of his brow lightly, the symbol of the pansy.

The true meaning of an astrologer is to see through all falsehoods. The starlight enveloped the Dormition Hall just now, exposing Ace’s hidden pansy logo. Fortunately, Nou and his runes were painted on, not magic, otherwise they would now It should be staged a Jedi escape.

Ace was surprised, "You know this?"

The pansy logo can only be seen by the great nobles in the pansy empire.Even if there are related legends in the folk, there are very few people who know about it, let alone this is a small plane.

Therefore, even though Ace was thoughtful, he never thought that he would be exposed so quickly.

The village chief Johannes' eyes were dark, and he said in a deep voice, "The leader of the Knights who brought us here had this on the back of his hand. Later, they also stayed here and established Ghostface Village."

Ace was surprised.

More than 800 years ago, the direct descendant of the Keoser family was the head of a certain knight order...

Ace thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find the correct character in his memory. He knew the history of the Pansy Empire quite well. If it weren't for the fact that he wouldn't have scored 1 in the History Exam in the Millais Library, he was left behind. The head of the knights stationed in the small plane has the blood of the pansy. This incident itself is very unbelievable, and it may also involve the secrets of the royal family.

Ace couldn't help thinking, if only Nou was still awake now.

When it comes to royal power struggles, even the royal family may keep secrets from their descendants. Most people hope that their descendants will respect them more than their own dishonorable methods. Discover clues and piece together the truth of what happened.

In order to add chips to future generations when necessary, the great nobles always record the dirty things done by the royal family intentionally or helplessly, and pass them down in a secret way.

"Ghostface Village is sent by empires from other planes to stay here?" Ace asked puzzled, "Then will they still try their best to help us?"

The village chief Johannes murmured, "You really don't know."

He thought of the invincible knights he faced at that time, and the farmers who took up the sickle to fight and died under the hooves of the horses... More than 800 years have passed, and the deepest hatred has become dim under the washing of time.

He finally decided that it was right not to tell little John about those things.The glory of the past is long gone, let it be annihilated more thoroughly.

The expression of the village chief Johannes was a little calmer, not as tense as he just appeared outside the resting hall, "Naturally." He opened his arms, and the black runes flowed along his meridians, and eventually they all converged to his heart. This metal, which is like an energy source, is the most important thing to support him to live now, "They have also become people like us, ghosts and ghosts, how many of them can remember the oath of guarding and remain loyal."

Ace thought of General Arnold waiting in the boundless wilderness of the Deadland, and remained silent.

After all, not everyone is General Arnold.

From the village chief Johannes, Ace knew a lot of secrets of the small plane. There are two most powerful villages in the small plane, one is the ghost face village they mentioned just now, and the other is the golden village.

The village chief Johannes said: "Ghostface Village is actually the core of the Knights. The Golden Village is similar. It is the richest empire in the adjacent plane - the Knights of the Finger Empire. These two knights The group was deceived by the magic island and became the best material for those magicians. They have a good foundation, and they are basically swordsmen above level four, and the astrological puppets they make are naturally the most powerful."

Even though Ace didn't admit it, the village chief Johannes already believed in his heart that Ace was born in Ghostface Village, and he has never seen the mark of ghostface on other people in the small plane.

The village chief, Johannes, looked at Ace and said, "If there were not more and more strong people in your two villages, and a lot of people gathered to take the lead in rebelling, it would be impossible for us to resist successfully."

The village head Johannes has lived in this land for hundreds of years. The longer he lives, the more he understands this truth. Struggle is always a game of the powerful class. Like the villagers of Hongyan Village, they care about whether the stars will be bright or not every day. Whether the martial arts competition is good or not depends on how to resist being bullied by the neighboring village at most.As long as there is a way to survive, they don't care what posture they use to survive.

They had fallen asleep and woken up too many times, and only an old-fashioned guy like him would care about those old stories.

"Without you, the idea of ​​struggle would not have arisen among many people here." The village head Johannes said: "Afterwards, everything gradually got on the right track. There are many capable people in your two villages, and many people can use magic. , They killed some magicians on the magic island, not only controlled part of the star map here, but also got the method of making astrological puppets..."

The magicians of the two village chiefs are also the predecessors of the small plane priests.

The village chief Johannes wondered if Ace might have been one of the magicians involved in these things.

Counting the time, it has been more than 800 years, and even the strong men in those two villages will hardly be able to survive.As long as they don't have severely damaged souls like the village chief Johannes, who fell into a deep sleep earlier, they are almost awake now.

Ace's pupils shrank slightly. He listened carefully to the story of the village chief Johannes, but he was always on guard.

If the village chief Johannes made a sudden move, he would quickly hide behind Nou and use the star power of the Dorm Hall to kill the village chief Johannes.

He kept an eye on the strength of the village chief, Johannes, and realized something was wrong.

Village Chief Johannes' fighting spirit is very unstable, which shouldn't be the state of an eighth-level swordsman.It looks like someone who has just broken through the fourth level and mastered fighting spirit. Besides, there is another possibility...

"Master Ace." The village chief Johannes bowed deeply to Ace, with a sigh hidden in his voice, "Maybe you will be angry, but we don't really care who controls this land. We used to ask Ghostface Village , Gold Village, we can also offer offerings to the neighboring planes. Going back, we still have the same root, but they don’t care about what we offer, and they want to obliterate our spiritual wisdom. What do we ask for? We I just want to live, to live freely and better.”

"Master Ace, I know that you are the high priest, and only the high priest can move the stars. In Grimace Village, you must also have a high status. I want to tell you that the countless small villages representing this plane will tell you that everyone will fight to survive. I will fight with you, but I also hope that you will remember these people who support you, please let them live as long as possible." Village Chief Johannes said.

"I'm about to die..." The grudge on the village chief Johannes' body burned even more fiercely, "I'm not afraid of death. Because it was just a long sleep, I hope that when I wake up again, it will be in a peaceful place. era."

Ace watched the phantom of the deer behind the village chief Johannes grow several times larger than the Dormition Hall, and then its color became lighter and lighter until it disappeared.

At the same time, the body of the village chief Johannes was completely motionless.

Ace knew that he was "dead".

Or rather, fell into a deep sleep.

Ace's understanding of the astrologer's inheritance is getting deeper and deeper, and he is becoming more and more unclear. The soul is repaired by means of sacrifice. The people who wake up again have different souls. Are they still their original selves?

……

Nou noticed that the village chief Johannes fell down suddenly. His body structure was different from these people, so he didn't understand what happened. He just rushed to Ace's side and made a guarding action.

Ace looked at Noou's calm side face and his hanging golden hair, and muttered to himself, "The little plane, the astrologer, and the high priest..."

Why do they all recognize him as the high priest?And what Jude said before, the priests of the small plane must be approved by Master Tsval, what about him?Why can he use this power?

There are more and more mysteries in Ace's heart.

He felt that he was short of a clue to connect all this together, but he never found this clue.
