Skeleton King

Cooking smoke curled up.

Dimly, Nuoou saw a small village.At the foot of the mountain, farmers in the village built a row of houses along the small river, and farther away were rice fields and cattle.Nou hesitated, and he walked a little further north, trying to avoid the village.

"Why don't you go over?" Suddenly, Nuo Ou heard a familiar voice.

Nuoou was surprised at first, and then frightened.

Nou turned around, and he saw Ace standing not far behind him nonchalantly, with one hand on his chest and the other hanging by his leg.Nuo Ou was surprised that Ace was alive, but was frightened by the existence of the man in black.

Nou noticed the blood on Ace's chest, he took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, trying to pull Ace's clothes, but he didn't dare, "You...how did you make it like this..."

Ace covered the wound with a film of water elements, temporarily shielding the pain.It was a surprise that he survived, and he didn't think it was a big deal at this time.

Ace: "It's okay, I won't die, don't worry." He comforted Noou perfunctorily, and then asked, "Why did you run so far? Why didn't you go into the village?"

Nuo Ou looked at his injured leg. At this time, he was already a little numb from the pain.Ace understood.

Nuo Ou: "I'm afraid the man in black will find him." If someone in the village takes him in, it will hurt innocent people.

Ace: "Don't worry."

Nou was stunned for a moment.Ace said, don't worry, don't worry about the man in black, or don't worry about harming innocent people.

At this time, Ace saw a middle-aged man dressed as a farmer driving a carriage, behind which pulled two large wooden barrels, which looked like ale.Ace thought for a while, and walked quickly to the middle-aged man.

Noou stood a little far away, and he heard Ace say: "Uncle, can you send us to Bremen? My cousin, our parents and I have gone to the imperial capital. Before they leave, please A team of mercenaries sent us to our aunt's house in Bremen, but on the way, we encountered a third-level monster from the monster forest. The mercenary uncle told us to run first, and we ran for a long time. be lost……"

The middle-aged man with the appearance of a farmer saw the elegant clothes on Ace and Nou, as well as their injuries, and believed what Ace said.He asked Ace a few more questions, and Ace answered them all.

After a while, Ace waved to Noou to let him pass.

Ace: "Brother, this uncle is willing to send us to my aunt's house in Bremen."

Nuoou saluted the middle-aged man, "Thank you, Ge..."

Ace grabbed Noou's arm and led him to sit next to the wine barrel.It was only then that Nou realized that he had said the wrong thing. Before they returned to the Georgia Knights, they were in danger.They not only had to beware of the man in black robe, but also beware of other people sent by Nuoou's uncle.

After Ace and Nou got into the carriage, the middle-aged man continued to drive the horse.

Middle-aged man: "Little brother, what monster did you encounter?"

Ace: "I don't know, I don't recognize it. That monster is white, with long ears and red eyes. It looks like Chirp, but it's as big as a magic tiger."

The middle-aged man exclaimed, "This is amazing."

Ace's little face was bitter, and he said in frustration: "No."

The middle-aged man said: "Actually, I have seen this monster once. At that time, I went to the edge of the monster forest to deliver ale. At that time, not only many aristocrats from the province of Georgia, but also the province of Louisiana, Westphalia The noble lords from Lunxing Province, they are hunting monsters, there are a lot of monsters, and there is one like this..."

Behind the carriage, Nou asked in a low voice, "What kind of monster is that?"

Ace: "How do I know, I made it up."

Nuo Ou pointed to the middle-aged man, and said softly: "Uncle said he had seen it."

Ace rolled his eyes indecently.Why are the cows flying in the sky?Because someone was blowing on the ground.

The farmer's carriage was like Ace's tricycle in his previous life. There were two barrels of ale on one side, and Ace lay down on the carriage with the ale on his back. He squinted his eyes slightly, looking very tired.

Noou turned sideways and also lay down on the carriage. He whispered in Ace's ear, "Is the man in black dead?"

Nou didn't ask Ace how he left the magic tower. If Ace wanted to tell him, he would naturally tell him.But the situation of the man in black made Nuo Ou feel worried and had to ask.

Ace shook his head. He didn't say much about the man in black, but said, "I broke Hai Lan's staff. It may be repaired well, or it may not be repaired."

Ace sacrificed himself to Hai Lan's staff, and he and Hai Lan's staff merged into one.Unless he dies, no one can strip Hai Lan's staff from his body.Now it's really not good to return it to Nuoou.

As for what happened to Ace in the Magic Tower, he has too many secrets, and Nou is still young, so Ace doesn't want to tell him much.

After hearing Ace's words, Nou was taken aback, "It's okay. If it breaks, it will break." He also didn't mean to ask Ace for the broken Hailan Staff.

Ace closed his eyes and frowned.

Nou didn't want to disturb Ace's rest. Although he had many questions in his mind, he didn't ask any more.

The green grass is mixed with the smell of soil, the sparrows are chirping and singing, the green of the trees on both sides of the road, the yellow of the rice fields in the distance, and the warm sunlight shining down.

Nuoou has never felt like this moment that everything in this ordinary life is a gift from the gods.

Only after staying in the dark magic tower, can we know the preciousness of all this.

Nou can "see" everything in nature without opening his eyes, and he seems to be integrated with the world.Nuo Ou had just made a breakthrough, and his unstable state of mind gradually smoothed down.

As soon as Nou got out of this wonderful realization, he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Ace.Ace's brows were still furrowed, his mouth opened and closed, either he was still asleep, or he was in a nightmare.

Nou woke up Ace: "Ace, why do you say I am your brother?"

Nou talked with Ace about this boring and unnutritious topic contentedly, which showed that he was in a good mood and at ease.

Ace: "I said it casually, you look younger than me."

Nuoou's skin is pale, his facial features are exquisite, he always wears a small bow tie meticulously, with a small face, he looks like a young noble young master.

Nou: "How old are you?"

Ace: "January 994, Pansy Imperial Calendar."

Noou: "I am from December 993 in the Imperial Calendar."

Ace: ...

Ace: "It's not a few days away."

Nuoou: "Then who is the elder brother?"

Ace said vaguely: "...is..."

Nuo Ou didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Ace: "I am."

Nou hit Ace lightly, and rubbed Ace's soft black hair into a chicken nest.Ace was both helpless and unhappy: "There's nothing to argue about." But when Nou interrupted him, his brows were no longer furrowed.

The sun is rising, the sun is getting warmer, and the cold spring has passed.

When Nou looked to the side again, Ace was already asleep, and his shallow breath sprayed on Nou's neck.Nou felt relieved for a while.

Ace didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up again, he was already in the training camp of the Georgia Knights.There are four beds in the room, but the other beds are neat and untouched. Ace sleeps on the middle left bed, with white bandages tied on his face and chest , Move it, and it hurts hot.

Espen wanted to sit up, but halfway through, he was so painful that he lay back down.

Fortunately, when Ace lay still, the pain was much less.

Ace didn't realize that he was in the Georgia Knights at first, until he saw two sets of standard armor in the corner of the room, with a hexagram pattern on the chest of the armor.Ace was relieved that Nou should be fine.

Ace lay on the bed for a while, and was about to fall asleep again in a daze, when he heard someone approaching the room.He opened his eyes and saw Nou's surprised face, "Ace, are you awake?"

Ace: "Yeah."

Nou: "We have returned to the Georgia Knights. The uncle brought us to Bremen, and Grand Knight Commander Ross quickly found us. I gave the uncle a small bag of gold coins. Later, I took You, came to the training camp with Grand Knight Ross."

Ace: "How long have I been asleep?"

Nuo Ou: "It's been almost 3 days. If Master Guangming said you're fine, I'd be worried that you wouldn't wake up. I kept millet porridge warm in the small kitchen. Do you want to drink it?"

Ace said in a strange tone: "Master of Light?"

"Yes, there is an intermediate light mage in the Georgia Knights." Nuo Ou didn't say how much effort he had spent in order to invite this light mage, he only cared about whether Ace wanted to eat, "millet porridge, drink ?"

Hearing that he was only an intermediate light mage, Ace was slightly relieved.

Although the Bright Mage can restrain the Necromancer to a certain extent, as long as Ace does not actively use Necromancer magic, the Bright Mage will probably not find out his identity, especially when their levels are not much different.

After talking to Nou for a while, Ace also felt hungry, "Millet porridge, drink it."

There was no attendant in the room, so Nuo ran out by himself and brought Ace a bowl of millet porridge.Ace was about to take the bowl, but Nuo Ou said first, "I'll do it."

He put two pillows on Estor to make his head more comfortable, then scooped up a spoonful of porridge, and blew it cool carefully.

Ace looked at the porridge fed to his mouth by the little Duke of Green, and felt that this world was really magical.

Ace didn't move, just said: "I can do it myself."

The little Duke of Green didn't move his hand holding the spoon, insisting on taking care of Ace.Ace only thought he was new for a while, and because his chest really hurt badly, he went with Nuoou.

Although the little Duke Green didn't take care of anyone, he acted cautiously, spoon by spoon, and quickly fed the bowl of porridge to Ace.

After the meal, Ace asked Nou: "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Nuo Ou was silent for a while, and said: "After I came back, I contacted Green Castle, and the teacher went to the imperial capital again. Because my father never shy away from my uncle before, many people in the castle, even the family's knights, they are with you. The uncle has a very good relationship. Although I believe that they are still loyal to me and my father, no one can be trusted 100%."

After leaving the Magic Tower, Nuo Ou still has some changes. The innocence that once belonged to him as a teenager has disappeared.He is more like a high-ranking person than before, no longer judged by emotions, but objectively analyzes the pros and cons.

Nuo Ou: "Besides, I have no evidence. My accusation against uncle at this time can only give him a chance to separate me from the knights and officials of the Green family."

Ace said lightly: "Hai Lan's staff." Hai Lan's staff is the best evidence,

Nuo Ou: "Before this, I have never seen Hailan's staff. In the past ten years, I have not heard that my father took out Hailan's staff. Now that I think about it, it is the heart of the ocean on Hailan's staff that There were signs of damage, so my father put it away. After all, this is the most famous magic item in the family. It is reasonable for my father to want to keep it a secret."

"However, Hai Lan's staff has been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of the owner or his wife. If someone knows where the Hai Lan staff is and takes it out of the castle, I am much more likely than my uncle."

It's really frustrating.

"Certification without evidence can only let my uncle see who is absolutely loyal to me." Nou said: "Your Majesty has decreed that before I become an adult, let my uncle manage the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. I You can't take the initiative to give him a chance to eliminate dissidents."

"However, I am the real heir of the Green family. After six years, no one can stop me from taking back the title and fief of the family." Nuo Ou's voice was flat, but revealed a firmness.Although Nuo Ou decided to let his uncle go temporarily, but when the time is right, he will take back what belongs to him.

Ace smiled, "Just think about it. We will stay in the Georgia Knights for six years. At that time, I will go back to the eastern plains of Louisiana Province with you, and I will borrow the majesty of the Duke."

Nou hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ace, there is something I haven't told you yet."

Ace: "Huh?"

Nuo Ou: "Because we were taken away by the man in black, and we didn't go down the mountain on time to hand over the magic crystal of 'Haw'...you failed the trial of the Georgia Knights..."

Ace: ...

Ace:? ? ?

Ace:! ! !
