Skeleton King

Without waiting to stand still, Ace held the Dragon King's dagger in his hand and made a defensive posture.

The white light just now was too dazzling, and his eyes were still a little stinging, but what was different from what he expected was not an attack, but the fragrance of roses.

As far as the eye can see are the red roses all over the mountains and plains.

For a moment, he felt as if he had returned to Bad Soden Manor—the red roses outside the manor were blooming all year round, and they were Viscountess Neumann's favorite flower, warm and beautiful.

If he could not still feel the magic circle in the ground, he really thought that he had teleported across the plane.

However, the familiar magic circle and strong star power all tell Ace that he is still in the small plane.

Ace hesitated for a moment, then went deep into the rose forest.

He clearly understood that even though he was still in the small plane, after that ultra-long-distance teleportation, he was already very far away from the amphitheatre, and he might not be able to join Noou and the others in the short term.

And this rose grove...

Since the teleportation array in the center of the arena leads here, there must be something unusual.

Ace walked to the end of the trail in the red rose forest, and saw a small gray stone house.Without any hesitation, he walked directly to the front of the small stone house. The distance was so close that he could even feel the breath of the people in the stone house.

Both familiar and unfamiliar.

In an instant, Ace's expression also became surprised.

But just as Ace can guess who the person in the stone house is, the people in the stone house must also know that an outsider has appeared in the Rose Grove.Ace stopped thinking about it, slowly raised his hand, and knocked on the stone door twice.

No one appeared, and the stone gate slowly opened facing him.

Ace walked in without hesitation.

Ace never imagined that their first meeting would be like this.

The man sat on the edge of the stone bed, his back was straight, his long silver hair was like moonlight, his robe was washed white, and the hem of his robe was also badly worn. He was only wandering in the streets and alleys, the unknown, the poor A down-and-out bard wears this, but no matter who is standing here, they will not think that the person in front of him is a bard, or a down-and-out teacher, mercenary or something.

Even if there is such a person, he lives in a shabby house and wears rags, and you will think that he is outstanding and magnificent.All external things are just background to him.When the bright moon is in the sky, will anyone pay attention to other things?

His fingers were slender and white, with well-defined knuckles, and he was flipping through an old notebook.

The simple movements made the scene in front of him look like a quiet picture scroll.

Ace stood there quietly without saying a word.

Until the man turned the letter to the end.

Ace had the illusion that his arrival didn't disturb anyone.Until the man turned the letter to the end, sighed softly, and then aimed his silver eyes at Ace—his eyes were like a deep silver sea, with calm surface and unfathomable bottom.

He stared at Ace for such a long time, as if he wanted to find someone's shadow in him.

Ace bowed to him as a junior, "Silver Sword Master."

Although the ranks of saints in the present world are all treated as peers, the Silver Sword Master is Sykes' father, and Ace is Sykes' younger brother. It is more in line with etiquette for him to be a junior.

The first sentence of Silver Sword Master Heinrich Ping surprised Ace, "I knew you would come."

Ace was startled.

"Before I entered the small position, the island owner had divination." He continued calmly: "The prophecy he got was, 'there will be stars to guide and untie the shackles of the puppet.'"

Ace was not surprised that Yinhui Juggernaut judged his identity as soon as he met him, but he was insensitive to the astrologer's nagging things.A long time ago, Millais scholars seem to have said something similar.

"You mean that I am the star in the prophecy of the owner of the magic island? But even I don't know what I should do." Ace said.

What are the shackles on the astrological puppet?Ace doesn't know.What is the way to liberate them?He didn't even know.

Ever since he entered the small plane, it was like entering a swamp full of mist.Occasionally, when he pushed aside the white mist, more mist would appear, and the harder he pushed forward, the deeper he sank.

At this point, I don't know where I came from, or where I'm going.

"Just follow your inner thoughts." Silver Sword Master Heinrich said.

"The most important purpose of our coming to the small plane is to find you. If we have a star map, we can re-perfect the seal." Ace said.

"Just having a star map is not enough." Yinhui Sword Master Heinrich said, "I came here with a star map, but I still haven't fulfilled the island owner's entrustment."

Just seeing Silver Sword Saint Heinrich, Ace immediately noticed that his state was not right, and his grudge was sealed by a higher level of power.Combined with the fact that Heinrich, the silver swordsman, has not heard from him during this period, and now he is trapped on the other side of the core teleportation array in the amphitheater, the identity of the person who sealed him is self-evident.

Ace hesitated, "The star map..."

The words of Silver Swordsman Heinrich made Ace feel meaningful, "The star map is not with me, nor with him."

They all knew who the "he" was referring to.

They are only one step away from the existence beyond the holy rank.

But this step is like a moat, unattainable.

Ace was with the Skeleton King, and Heinrich, the silver swordsman, was with the owner of the magic island, and they both had a lot of understanding of the realm above the holy rank.When they become existences beyond the holy order, their spiritual sense will be a hundred times sharper than it is now, not to mention that what they want to hide is the master of the small plane, Tswar, who is an astrologer.

"It's in a safe place now?" After getting the affirmation from Silver Sword Master Heinrich, Ace felt relieved, and immediately felt the urgency. He found that he was missing. Norn and the others at the amphitheater could decide Will let it go, and these abnormalities will be reported to Tswar, the master of the small plane, immediately.With him blocking it, it will be even more difficult for them to restore the star map.

Ace asked again, "Then how can I get it?"

Silver Sword Saint Heinrich picked up a stone sword with no edge from the stone bed, and he also stood up from the stone bed, "I made an oath when I was on the magic island, unless I was defeated, I would not Give the star map to anyone. But now my power is suppressed, there is no way to take you out of here, and you can only repair the star map by yourself."

He took a step forward.

Ace didn't feel anything strange, they left the stone house and appeared in the middle of the sea of ​​roses.

Ace was taken aback.Only then did he realize that the strength of the Silver Sword Master Heinrich was much stronger than he had imagined—originally, he thought that the strength of the Silver Sword Master Heinrich was only slightly stronger than the Golden Lion Sword Master.But the fact is far from that, even if several Golden Lion Sword Masters appeared at the same time, they would not be his opponents.

Apparition is possible when the mind changes.

No matter it is recorded in the Skeleton King's handbook or in the Millais library, there is still a division of strength above the holy rank. Apparating together with Ace, in theory, even the existence beyond the holy order is not something everyone can do.

Silver Sword Master Heinrich said indifferently, "Beat me, and I will be able to tell you its location."

……

Little John was panting heavily, until his chest began to ache.Rich star power entered his body, quickly repairing his damaged body.

Under the high platform was a soldier from Grimace Village, he looked unwillingly at Little John who was still standing.

Beside him, several amphitheater fighters dug him out of the wall—not long ago, Little John knocked him down from the high platform, and of course, he didn't make it easy for Little John, he It hit Little John hard in the chest, and he'd bet he'd broken several ribs.However, he still lost the battle.

Suddenly, two astonishing sword intents came from beneath their feet—under the amphitheatre.Relatively speaking, their battle just now was like a play.

The faces of Little John and the soldiers from Grimace Village who had just stood up changed.

They sensed Lord Nuoou/Lord Joan's aura, did something happen in the underground palace in the amphitheatre?

Who needs Mrs. Joan to take action in person?The fighters from Ghostface Village stood there dumbfounded.

Little John's heart is more disturbed than the soldiers in Grimace Village, and he is not stupid. Even if Master Ace and Master Nou didn't tell him clearly, he can guess some things.Did Master Nou take something from the Colosseum?Little John was not condemned by his moral standards. He was awake for too short a time. He used to only listen to the words of the village chief's grandfather, and now he only knows to listen to Master Ace.

but……

Little John looked at the densely packed astrological puppets in the surrounding stands in the center of the high platform, Master Ace and Master Nou, must they do things at this time?With so many astrological puppets, can they beat them?

More and more astrological puppets in the stands of the amphitheater also felt something strange.

However, beyond their imagination, this kind of strangeness is not the beginning. In the distance, there is the howling sound of an unknown and powerful creature.

It was a long whistle that Little John had never heard before.

"It's a dragon—"

Unbelievable voices came from the stands.

Little John also looked in that direction.

Huge wings, a golden color that is more dazzling than the legendary sun, a body with smooth lines, ignoring all coercion, when the creature called a dragon appeared above their heads, many astrological puppets took control They couldn't stop lying on the ground, only a few soldiers from the big village were still standing there, watching this scene dumbfounded, and their shouts mixed with various whimpers, "The army of that plane, they have already Have you come here? Why is there no battle report from the front line?"

A black shadow enveloped the entire arena, and even the flag representing the village was dyed black.

Soon, Little John didn't have the energy to pay attention to the dragon as he threw two heavy objects at him.

No, it's two people.

An old man with thinning hair and wearing a cuckold stood up tremblingly, and tremblingly said: "I have never flown so fast before. Besides, that damn boy Nuoen, why did he claw me all the way? Obviously He has so much space on his back."

Another handsome young man who landed from a high altitude moved gracefully, looked indifferent, and said indifferently: "Because only a dragon knight can ride his dragon."

Naturally, what Little John saw was the Heavenly Shield Sword Master and Jacob who had come all the way.

They also happened to spot him.

"Forget it. I don't know where the two of them are now." The Sky Shield Sword Master stabilized his cuckold again, grabbed the closest John to them, and asked, "Do you know Ace Neumann or Neumann?" O' Green?"
