Skeleton King

For a moment, Ace thought there was something wrong with his ears.

The man in black: "Think about it carefully."

After the man in black finished speaking, he left the secret room.Only Ace and Nou Green were left in the secret room. The light from the hourglass shone on half of Ace's face, and his eye that was illuminated by the light looked at Nou Green with gentle and sad eyes.

This night, Nou Green did not fall asleep, he has been practicing the mind of a swordsman.

Ace leaned against the corner of the secret room, meditating alone.

The magic elements with dark attributes quickly gathered into Ace's body through the magic tower, filling Ace's whole body.

A magician's breakthrough is a process of accumulation, unlike a swordsman, who may have an epiphany.

Ace is still a little far from the fourth level, but the feeling of rapid growth in strength still makes people feel happy.

It would be great if they were not detained here, but cultivated here.

When the hourglass was turned upside down again, the sand returned to the upper hourglass again, and the brilliance of the white sand illuminated more places in the secret room.For a moment, Ace thought he saw the light of the sun.But soon, Ace realized that he was still in the secret room.

Noel Green stood up from the ground and sat beside Ace.

Ace asked him, "How is it?"

Noah Green: "The purity of the purification potion is very high. It's not worse than the one I used in Green Castle." Noah Green took Ace's hand and wrote a "four" on his palm.

Ace held Noah Green's hand and didn't speak for a long time.

Noel Green is about to break through the fourth level.

I don't know if this is good news or bad news.

Ace hesitated, "Green..."

Nou Green suddenly interrupted Ace, "Just call me Nou. Didn't you call me that before?"

Before, Ace thought that Noah Green was delirious, but he didn't expect him to remember.

Ace didn't know if Noah Green heard what the man in black said to him, but Ace understood that Noah Green now asked him to call him by his name, which was his trust in Ace.

Even if Noel Green didn't say anything, he would have taken whatever magic potion Ace sent for 3 consecutive days, and he had already expressed his trust in Ace.

Ace felt blocked in his heart. He looked at Nou Green. Nou Green had a pair of sky blue eyes, like a clear sky, or a trace of impurities.

Ace heard himself say, "I understand." Understand what you said and what you didn't say.

As usual, the man in black came to the secret room, and he threw the bread into Noah Green's arms, "You don't have much time left."

After practicing all night yesterday, Nou Green was already very hungry. He lowered his head and gnawed on the bread without raising his head, "Yes."

Ace followed the man in black to the laboratory again.

This time, the man in black was not in a hurry to ask Ace to make the purification potion. He stood in front of the experiment table and asked, "Ace Neumann, have you thought about the answer to yesterday's question?"

The wound on Ace's face has scabbed over a bit, but that only makes his face more terrifying.Ace looked directly at the man in black, and he saw his current appearance from the brown eyes of the man in black.

Ace asked, "Why me?"

The man in black said without any concealment: "When you see other magic apprentices in the future, you will know how outstanding your talent in making magic potions is. Although rare magic potion materials are precious, good magic apprentices are hard to come by. He can greatly increase the success rate of magicians in making magic potions."

Ace: "Will you teach me magic?"

The man in black: "As long as your affinity for magic elements is not too low, even if it is worse than ordinary magic apprentices, I can let you meditate in my magic tower."

Many magicians don't like magic apprentices to meditate in their own magic tower, because their meditation will dilute the magic elements in the magic tower.But the man in black don't have to worry about this, he is a high-level magician, and it is not a problem to support a few magic apprentices in the magic tower.Moreover, if Ace helps him with the experiment, it won't waste time to stay in the magic tower for a long time.

Ace asked the last question: "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you?"

Hearing what Ace said, the black-robed man smiled sarcastically, "Even if I give you ten years, no, twenty years, you can't have one-third of my current strength. Only the weak will worry about others' revenge. "

Probably thinking of long-term cooperation in the future, the man in black gave Ace another sweet date after the big stick, "As long as you follow me, I will help you heal the wounds on your face. These wounds are cursed by magic. , you don’t want to disfigure your face, do you? If you choose another path, see if Noel Green can break through the fourth level within ten days. I advise you not to be stupid. His life and death are not a matter of my words. , I believe you are a smart person and will make the right choice."

"You didn't have a deep friendship with Noah Green. Why did you die because of him. You should hate him more than you hate me. It's not him. You have now entered the Georgia Knights." The man in black The tone of his voice is high and high, like a god who can penetrate people's hearts.

The man in black didn't believe that Ace would reject him. He saw himself in Ace, equally talented, equally brilliant, and equally good at disguising.

Ace did not disappoint him.

Ace: "I am willing to be your magic apprentice."

On this day, Ace only made a bottle of purification potion, and the man in black asked him to stop.He takes Ace to the other side of the lab, where there is another lab table.

This experimental table is messier than the one Ace and the others used before, with broken hairs, bloodstains of monsters of various colors, and some unknown objects that are suspected of viscera, although they are only scattered on the table. Some residue was left, which was enough to be disgusting.

However, the man in black seemed to have no intention of cleaning it up, even if he only needed to wave it casually.

Ace thought of the hygienic condition of the laboratory table he used before, and quickly took a rag from the laboratory to clean the table.The man in black looked on, noncommittal.

The man in black took out the body of a monster from the space ring and put it on the experiment table.At this time, the original vigorous body of the monster hangs down weakly, its white fur is stained with light blood, and its eyelids are closed, covering the red pupils.

This is the first-level monster "chirp".

Ace and Noel Green caught hundreds of Chirps on the Saxon Mountains, and they know this kind of monster very well.

The man in black: "In a few days, you will need to assist me with an experiment, first practice with Chirp. Among the first-level monsters, Chirp is a rare monster that can control wind magic elements, so it has a certain speed. A unique talent."

The man in black took a small silver knife and shaved off a clump of hair on Haw's abdomen, and from here, cut a hole in his abdomen, and then tore it open.There was a thin light green membrane between Haw's internal organs and fur, on which Ace felt the thin wind magic element.But the man in black didn't say anything, and Ace just pretended not to know.

The man in black cut the film with a knife, pointed to a few places, and told Ace, "This is a blood vessel, don't scratch it, or you will spend your whole day cleaning the table. Surrounded by its internal organs It's the magic crystal."

The man in black gently pressed the knife on Jiji's internal organs, and Ace saw a white magic crystal with light green dots on it.

Not to mention those mercenaries with rich experience in wild survival, even Ace, after several hunting trips with Viscount Neumann, it is not a problem to skin the little monster.He and Noel Green also took many magic crystals from monsters on the Saxon Mountains.But Ace has never observed the internal organs of Warcraft so carefully like now.

Ace watched carefully.

The man in black is moody.Ace had to brace himself to deal with it.

The man in black told Ace in detail the location of Chirp's internal organs and the trajectory of its magic power.

The man in black finally said: "The distribution of Jiji's internal organs is similar to that of human beings. The operation of its magic power is also similar to the operation of many grudges. If you dissect more, even if you don't want to be a magician, you want to advance to the fourth-level sword It won't be difficult for a doctor."

"Many people in this world can use power, but they don't understand the essence of power. They may be able to advance quickly with their talents in the early stage, but if they encounter a bottleneck, they can only travel around and look for opportunities to break through. Just luck."

The tone of the man in black was obviously dismissive of those people.

Although Ace didn't agree with some of the actions of the man in black, he didn't completely deny his words, but thought about it quietly.

The man in black took out a bunch of Chirp's corpses from the space ring and put them on the upper right corner of the experiment table, "Dissect all these Chirp's corpses. Their internal organs and blood vessels are not allowed to be damaged, but their magic crystals must be taken out. Hopefully, after dissecting these chirps, you'll have some idea of ​​how their magic works."

Ace looked at the pile of Chirp's corpses piled up like a hill on the experimental table, and his eyelids twitched. He probably had to dissect these.

Ace: "You caught all the Haws on Saxon?"

The man in black: "What's wrong?"

Ace: "Nothing."

Ace is just a poor swordsman who participated in the trial of the Georgia Knights. The man in black has arrested Jiji. What are they doing?But soon, Ace left the group of unlucky swordsmen who participated in the trial behind. No matter how miserable they were, they were free to cry in Bremen.

And in this unknown magic tower.He and Noel Green are at stake, and he has to face a lot of Chirping corpses.

The man in black didn't give Ace the time request.

Ace didn't dare to take chances, and started researching and dissecting Chirp without a moment's slack.

In the secret room, Ace put one magic crystal after another on the other corner of the experiment table.He was so focused that he didn't even know when the man in black would leave the secret room.

Ace focused his fighting spirit on his eyes, eyes that could see even the most delicate fur of Haw.

Ace quickly threaded the needle and helped Haw re-sew up the open wound.At first, the stitches on Haw's wound were rough, but gradually became more delicate.

"Your learning ability is good." The black-robed man suddenly appeared beside Ace.

Ace's head turned woodenly towards him.

The man in black: "It's almost time, you can go back."

Ace took a bottle of white and a bottle of pink purification potion from the wooden shelf in the laboratory and went to the secret room.

At the door of the secret room, Ace stopped holding the door's hand, and he asked, "You said, in a few days, I need to help you do an experiment, what is it about?"

The man in black: "The kid from the Green family is going to break through the fourth level. Hai Lan's fighting spirit, even on the magic island, few people have such good experimental materials."

Ace froze for a moment, and asked, "Using Noel Green for the experiment?"

The man in black had a half-smile, "Why, reluctant?"

Ace's throat was a little dry, "No."

The man in black: "Don't worry, the kid from the Green family won't die so easily. If he dies, where can I find such good experimental materials." The last sentence was a bit soft, but Ace still heard it.

Ace forced himself to open the door of the secret room with both hands and feet.

As soon as Ace entered the secret room, the man in black left.

Now, there is no suspense about who Nou Green used to make the purification potion.

Noel Green was practicing sword moves in the secret room. As soon as he saw Ace coming back, he put him behind him and looked at Ace with concern.

There were no new wounds on Ace's face, and Noel Green stretched his hands forward, as if trying to take off Ace's clothes to see if there were any wounds under his clothes.

Ace said softly, "I'm fine."

The corners of Noel Green's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a shallow smile.They are now dependent on each other.
