Skeleton King

Nuo Ou looked at Ace curiously, and didn't answer his question, with a half-smile, "Are you becoming an astrologer?"

"It doesn't count." Ace said, "It's just the power of some astrologers."

There are runes left by the high priest on the mountain wall of the Grand Canyon, and because of this, the stone beasts here cannot leave the canyon.

only……

Why did the high priest spend so much time drawing these runes?

Nuo Ou was thoughtful, "I seem to be able to feel this kind of power, but it doesn't belong to you." He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the starry sky covered by clouds and mist again, "There is something peeking out from above. We, ever since I got sober, have been feeling that way."

It is also because of this that Nuo Ou sinks his consciousness into the depths and acts on instinct, just to reduce "him"'s vigilance.

But it is not without good news, Nuo Ou calmly said: "I have found the right path."

"Tsk." The corner of Ace's mouth curled slightly, and he asked, "The way beyond the holy rank?"

"Yes." Nuo Ou said without sincerity: "Sorry, I'm one step ahead of you."

Ace said: "How long will it take to really break through?"

"Probably... 200 years later."

Ace gave Nou a meaningful look, and those who got the Star of Hope broke through immediately.

"There is no way, the remaining energy in the Star of Hope is too little." Nuo Ou said helplessly.

"The magic island can't last that long." Ace murmured, "If there is enough star power, can this process be accelerated?"

Nou said: "That will take at least ten years."

Far from being able to quench his near thirst, Ace asked Nou about the peeping above his head.

After thinking for a moment, Nuo Ou said: "I didn't feel the star power, but I intuitively felt that something was looking at me... related to the stars..."

"Because you broke through through the Star of Hope." Ace speculated: "It may be the owner of the magic island, or the owner of the small plane. The Star of Hope has connected you in the dark. Breakthrough perception will be extraordinarily sharp. Besides, other things are fine. If there are new strongmen beyond the holy rank in this plane, it will definitely affect the astrology. A real astrologer will not leave such obvious divination. traces of it."

"...The masters of the small plane and the masters of the magic island have incomplete inheritance from the astrologers, and the divination part is even more missing. You haven't completely broken through, there is no obvious celestial phenomenon, they may not know what happened, at most Just pay more attention to this area.” Obviously Ace and the others are allies with the magic island now, but when it comes to confidentiality, Ace still mentions the owner of the magic island and the owner of the small plane together, Ace didn’t explain, Noou I didn't ask too much.

After the Star Wars game between Xueyan Village and Shelley, the astrologer's mysterious halo has faded in Ace's eyes.The more Ace understands astrologers and how powerful they are, the more Ace understands that astrologers don't know everything.

......

"Master Ace." Because the battle was too loud, Little John and Sean ran far away.At this moment, both of them were also found.

Looking at the still big stone beast, Little John was dumbfounded.When Sean faced Ace and Nou again, his respect became stronger.

It was Little John who spoke first, "My lord, is this?"

Ace said lightly, "There is a rune laid down by a high priest on the mountain wall here. The rune was activated just now and imprisoned it."

Ace's words were really ambiguous, but Little John quickly accepted it. The high priest is naturally omnipotent, and it is only natural that Ace and Nuoou defeated the stone beast.Sean was full of doubts, but he also knew his identity, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Ace conveniently put away a small stone covered with runes, and no one noticed.

After that, the group of them walked out of the Grand Canyon without encountering the stone beast again.

Sean bid farewell to Ace and the others, "Thank you, Lord Ace, for sending me here."

"On the way." Ace was noncommittal, and he asked, "Where are you going after that? Back to the Golden Village?"

Sean replied: "Not for the time being. Lord Shelley has other explanations for me."

Ace nodded.

After Sean left, Little John looked curiously at the surrounding scenery for a while. He had never been to the other side of the Grand Canyon.But it didn't take long for him to feel uninterested in all this, and everything he saw was desolate and barren, not even as much novelty as the Grand Canyon gave him.He asked: "Master Ace, where are we going next? There seems to be a village in front of us, shall we go and have a look in the village?"

"No." Ace glanced over there and said, "We have other things to do."

Ace searched according to geography and astrology, and soon found an altar.Although the altar has been abandoned, the star power here is still much stronger than other places.

Ace made some repairs to the altar, and Nou was also helping him.

Although Nuo Ou doesn't understand runes very well, he is now in a higher realm than Ace, and the road leads to the same goal. Sometimes the disharmony that Nuo Ou judges by intuition happens to have wrong runes.

Little John was diligently helping move the bricks, but he seemed frightened when he saw Ace and Nuoou discussing in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Ace asked him.

Little John stammered, "I thought...Master Nou...couldn't speak." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly shut his mouth, only to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

Nuo Ou stood on the high altar and gave him a faint look.Those who are not familiar with Nuoou will definitely find this look full of contempt.Little John didn't think so much, but he wished he was really dumb.It was Ace who saw him embarrassed and asked him to continue moving bricks.

Ace watched Little John leave with a smile.

Nuoou recalled their memories on the other side of the canyon these days.The villagers they met were far from the information on the astrological puppets given by Magic Island.

Ace interacts more with the locals, and of course feels more clearly about this situation.Nuo Ou knew that it was unfounded to worry about Ace making the mistake of the lord of the small plane. He didn't mean to remind him at all, but asked, "Are we going to live here for a long time?"

"No. Just borrow the altar here, no matter what, we have to contact Norn and the others first." After Ace finished speaking, the dagger in his hand added another touch to the stone pillar under the altar.

What Ace held in his hand was the Dragon King's dagger.Although this is a gift from Ace to Nou, since that incident, this dagger that is no less than a legendary weapon is not very popular with Nou. It is estimated that such a situation will not happen in the next few hundred years Too much of a change, and Ace took it back.

At least this is a dagger with a sharp enough handle.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Nou felt that as Ace continued to carve out new runes, the stars above their heads also brightened.

"Do you know how the astrologers used to communicate when they were worried that the astrological dolls would be hunted down during the war?" Ace said.

Nou was puzzled.

"Astrology." Ace said: "The astrology can convey a lot of information."
