Skeleton King

Ace stroked the surface of the egg lightly, it was a little rough, and there were small pieces on it, like fish scales, rough and like bark.

When Ace just took out the egg from the Skeleton King's tomb, he really thought about hatching it.But during the three years in Bad Soden, he, Angelica, and Angela tried all kinds of methods, but they failed to hatch the egg, so Ace had to give up.

Ace threw it into the space wristband as an ornament, and when he was bored, he took it to the back mountain and talked to it to himself.There are some things that Ace can't even say to Angelica and Angela.

Three years ago, Ace never thought that he would really come to this point.

At this moment, Ace heard a knock on the door, he stood up, put the monster egg behind him, and said, "Come in."

Nuo Ou took a small blue bottle and walked in, "I'll change your medicine."

When he left the Georgia Knights training camp, Ace could basically take care of himself, but he still needed help for dressing changes and bandages.This matter has always been done by Nou.

Ace: "You don't have to come by yourself, just give the medicine to Angelica."

Nuo Ou: "Let me do it. I am the one who prescribes the medicine for you these days. She is not as familiar with me when she prescribes the medicine, but it hurts you."

The little duke said that he was better at taking care of people than Angelica...

Ace wanted to laugh a little, but he was afraid that Nou would become angry, so he tried his best to restrain himself.After all, it is a wish from a friend.

Ace took off his shirt and let Noou help him untie the bandage, while his eyes were fixed on the monster egg.He is curious about Warcraft eggs right now.

Nou looked over Ace's head and saw the monster egg, "What is this? Did your maid bring it to you?"

Ace: "It should be a monster egg."

Nou quickly helped Ace apply the medicine, and then, before Ace had time to put on his shirt, he sat back in front of the table and couldn't wait to pick up his monster egg.

Nou sat next to Ace and said, "Can you show me?" He wasn't curious, it was just the first time he saw such a precious thing as Ace.

Unlike three years ago, Ace needed two hands to hold the Warcraft egg. Now, Ace can lift the egg with one hand.However, he still held the egg carefully and handed it to Nuoou.

Nuo Ou has been exposed to elite education since he was a child, and he has also dabbled in the knowledge of monsters, but he never knew what kind of monster's eggs look like this. He asked, "What kind of monster's egg is this?"

Ace shook his head. "I don't know. By accident."

"It must be the egg of a high-level monster. I can feel the magic element on it. Only the cubs of a seventh-level monster can use magic." Nuo Ou said: "This egg is very fresh, and it shouldn't be long after it was born. , It won’t be too difficult to hatch. There is a special monster shop in Bremen, and I can buy a magic item to hatch monsters from them.”

Ace asked: "Is it difficult to hatch the eggs of monsters that have been laid for a long time?"

"Yes, because the eggshell will become thicker, it is difficult for the cubs of the monster to break the eggshell. If we use external force to help them, it is likely to hurt the cubs of the monster, and even cause them disabilities." Nuoou Said: "Actually, this is in line with the law of survival of the fittest in nature. Weak monster cubs will not even have a chance to hatch."

Ace: "Is it possible that monster eggs that have been laid for hundreds of years can still hatch cubs?"

This monster egg was put in when the Skeleton King was alive. How long has the Skeleton King passed away?At least thousands of years.This Warcraft egg is not much older than it.

Nuo Ou thought for a while, and said: "I haven't heard of such a thing. The cubs stayed in the monster egg for too long, and most of them died directly in it. Unless it is a tenth-level monster, like a dragon or a phoenix, only their The vitality of the cubs may be so strong. But before Alexander I, the dragons belonged to the Dragon Island, the phoenixes were reborn from nirvana, and most of the other tenth-level monsters disappeared. If they had eggs left on the mainland at that time, they would Not impossible."

"However, like other tenth-level monsters, even the King Snow Lion of the Monster Forest. It was originally a ninth-level monster. Although it broke through its own limit and became a tenth-level monster, the cubs it gave birth to will only be nine It is impossible for a super monster to be born with a strong vitality. Therefore, I judge that your egg should not have been born for a long time."

Although Ace knew that the Skeleton King would not put the unknown monster egg in his secret room, Ace did not expect that it would be a dragon egg or a phoenix egg.It's also possible that Nou's judgment was wrong, Ace thought.

Nuo Ou asked: "This egg, do you recognize the owner?"

Ace: "Not yet."

Nuo Ou: "Hurry up and recognize the owner. You drop the blood on the surface of the egg, sign the blood contract, and it will become your magic pet. If the type is suitable, it can also be used as a magic horse."

Ace: "After the monster recognizes its master, my will will override its will. If I die, it will die too."

Ace murmured, but Nou took it as a question, "Yes. Because of the blood bond, many magicians trust their familiars more than their companions, knights, and students. And, There is wildness in the bones of monsters, even if there is a contract, some monsters will try to hurt their masters, let alone without a contract."

Nou saw Ace's hesitation and asked, "Aren't you going to sign a contract with it?"

"Warcraft have a long lifespan, and the time I can live is less than one-tenth of its original time. Now that I sign a contract with it, most of it may determine its future life." Ace said: "Advanced monsters are also independent. Life, it is said that their intelligence is no less than that of human beings. One intelligent life has no right to decide the fate of another intelligent life."

Nuoou would never impose his will on others. Seeing that Ace was unwilling, he did not persuade him any further, and said, "Then you must protect this monster egg. Your maid knows this monster egg, and she is reliable." Is it? Except for us, you can no longer tell others about the existence of this monster egg."

"Angelica is very reliable." Ace: "I know, thank you, Nou."

Nou was not moved much, "If you contract it, nothing will happen. After it hatches, it may directly have the strength of a first-level or second-level monster, and it will not be a simple matter to restrain it at that time. "

Ace: "Let me think about it."

That night, the monster shop in Bremen sent a set of magic tools for hatching monster eggs to Noou's villa.Gerhard helped move to Ace's room.

Ace put the monster egg into the incubator, but there was no response.The situation of Warcraft Egg is exactly the same as it is in the outside world.

Ace thought for a while, and he put the monster egg into the space bracer again.

The monster egg rolled onto the Taiji diagram composed of Yinhuo and Yanghuo, and stood in the air.

This Warcraft egg already has an ignorant mind.

Ace grinned happily. His idea was correct. It was because Yinhuo and Yanghuo were put into the space wristband that the Warcraft egg changed.Yang fire is the master of vitality, it should be of great help to the Warcraft eggs.

However, it may also be that the Taiji diagram is helpful to the Warcraft egg.

Ace wasn't sure if they would spontaneously form a Taiji Diagram after dismantling the Yanghuo and Yinhuo, so they had to go.However, there is no magic element in the space bracer, and the magic beast cub must absorb enough magic element before it emerges from its shell.

Ace decided to put the Warcraft eggs in the space bracer for half a day, and then put them in the incubator for half a day.

I don't know, what will be the Warcraft hatched by then?

The next day, Ace took the Warcraft egg out of the space bracer and put it in the incubator.He looked at the Warcraft egg for an hour by accident, and Ace sighed in his heart, no wonder some people said that parents would never get tired of watching their children all day and all night.

It is impossible for him to have his own children, and it is not bad to raise a monster.

On this day, Nou went to the training camp of the Georgia Knights, while Ace continued to stay in the villa.He practiced spells for half a day, and spent most of his time meditating. When Nou returned to the villa and they had dinner together, Ace took it as a rest.

Ace felt that this was the most perfect life he could imagine.

pity.

During dinner, Nou said to Ace: "The leader of the Georgia Knights will come to the training camp tomorrow, and your injury is almost healed, so come with me tomorrow."

The water magician of the Green family is still on the way, and the scar on Ace's face is still the same, but the wound on his chest has completely healed, leaving only a light pink mark, which is still a little uneven to the touch.But it doesn't affect action at all, even sword practice.

Nuo Ou also found a plaster for removing scars for Ace to use every day.But that ointment is probably for ladies, with a faint fragrance that can stay on the body for a day.After Ace used it once, he refused to use it again. He called it a good name: "There are scars on his body, so he looks more masculine." Nuoou couldn't help him either.

Ace groaned.

Now, Ace is very familiar with Noou, and he doesn't pretend his thoughts much in front of him.

Ace: "Can I not go?"

Nou: "Didn't you say two days ago that even if you participate in next year's trial, you have to join the Georgia Knights? Grand Knight Commander Ross has no authority. Only the leader of the Knights can recruit you."

Ace cut the steak into a dozen small pieces with a knife and fork, "I changed my mind."

Nuo Ou: "Wouldn't it be better to leave more room for yourself? Although you want to go to the imperial capital to be a scholar, this does not prevent you from joining the Georgia Knights. After a few years, if you change your mind, you can still inherit Viscount Neumann Now, the imperial capital is becoming more and more stingy in granting titles to commoners, and most of them are knight titles."

There are two types of knights. One is swordsmen who have passed the assessment of the Knights. They are outstanding in swordsmanship and impeccable in etiquette. They are called honorary knights; , Lifetime, not hereditary, but also belongs to the real nobles.The latter, while alive, will also own his own fief and manor, and can collect taxes from the subjects on the fief.

Ace: "You don't understand."

"I don't understand your thoughts." Nuoou raised his eyebrows and said, "But, you can't touch fish when you go to the training camp of the Georgia Knights tomorrow. After dinner, let's go to the sword room to practice swords together. "

Ace: ...

Ace: "I don't want to go, but I won't let the knights screen me out. Whether I go or not is different from whether they want me."

Nuo Ou finished the steak in a good mood, "I know. But, you haven't touched a sword for almost a month, and your hands are raw."

After the meal, Nuo Ou and Ace took a rest, and Nuo Ou dragged Ace to the sword room.

Nou threw a long sword to Ace.

Ace picked it up, the long sword was a bit heavy, and said, "Can't you use a wooden sword?"

"Don't worry, you can't hurt me." Nuo Ou also took a long sword made of the same material from the shelf, "I won't hurt you either. I don't use grudges, so it's fairer."

"Okay, okay." Ace muttered unhappily, and suddenly shot, stabbing Nuoou's vest, "Soldiers never tire of cheating!"

Nou turned around and blocked Ace's sword, as if he had been prepared.

"Ping ping pong pong..."

In the sword room, there were constant sounds of long swords being struck.

It was not until late at night that the sound gradually disappeared.

The next day, on the way to the Georgia Knights training camp.

Noou's carriage is very luxurious and comfortable, and you can hardly feel the bumps in it. Ace was sleepy, "Nuoou, such a comfortable carriage, why do you usually ride a horse?"

Nou gave Ace a cold look.

Ace regained consciousness a little bit, knowing that he had said something he shouldn't have said.Nuoou's uncle piled all kinds of luxury things in front of Nuoou in order to pamper him.Now that Nuoou has a goal, he will naturally be strict with himself and hate all kinds of enjoyment.

Furthermore, in the Pansy Empire, nobles also felt that riding a horse was more heroic.

Ace: "Oh, I feel like I can't lift my arms. It's better not to practice like this yesterday."

Nuo Ou: "I said yesterday that I will stop practicing. No one will stop. Get up and beat me."

Ace: "Me."

Nuo Ou: "I'm really curious about where Bad Soden is. Are all the nobles in your family the same as you? I think you are more like the hooligans under Xiaochun Building." Xiaochun Building is the most famous small building on Flower Street in Bremen. , there is a street downstairs, which is mixed with fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of teachings and nine streams.

Ace: "No. Viscount Neumann is very serious. Like me, it's probably a genetic problem."

Ace and Nou were talking, and soon arrived at the training camp of the Georgia Knights.

Nou went to training, and Ace went to the training field.

Grand Knight Commander Ross saw Ace and called him over, "The commander will be here soon, you wait here." After speaking, he turned and left the training ground.

Ace looked around in the training ground, and there was a short fat guy standing with his back to him.The little fat man was staring at the training ground in a daze.

Ace was bored and wanted to say hello to the little fat man, "Hello! Hello!"

The little fat man froze for a moment, turned his head, saw Ace, froze again, and then...

"Ghost!!!" The little fat man uttered a shrill scream, then sat down on the ground, apparently terrified.

Ace didn't react for a while, until he touched his face, he realized that the scar on his face scared the little fat man.Whether it was in Nou's villa, facing Nou, Angelica and other well-trained servants in the castle, or the Grand Knight Commander Ross just met, they didn't show any fright on Ace's face, or anything else. Weird look.

Here, the mirror is a very luxurious magic prop.

Ace couldn't see his own wound, and almost forgot about it.

Ace said: "There are no ghosts in this world. In terms of professional magicians, the closest creature to ghosts should be undead. The weaker undead have transparent bodies. The stronger they are, the more solidified their bodies will be. Bai. If you describe it like I do, it is a lich, and most people will never see a lich once in their life."

The little fat man stared blankly at Ace. He probably came back to his senses after a while. He stood up, patted the ashes on his buttocks, lowered his head, and said, "You... hello. I... I... I am David Richter, born in the Richter family in the province of Louisiana."

Ace asked curiously, "What are you doing here if you're not going to train?"

Fatty, no, David Richter seemed about to cry. He said, "I failed the Georgia Knights' trial on the Saxon Mountains. Grand Knight Commander Ross asked me to wait for the Commander here."

The head of the Richter family in the province of Louisiana is an earl, and it is not known whether David Richter is his son or nephew.It seems that David Richter is another nobleman who failed the test.

Ace: "Oh. You are another noble boy who failed the test."

David Richter: "The other? What... what do you mean?"

Ace: "Oh, I didn't pass the test either."

David Richter's eyes widened.His hair was cut short but thick, like a hedgehog, his eyes were round, and his silver-gray pupils looked like a frightened little monster. No, the little monster was also braver than him.The hallmark of the Richter family is silver hair and silver eyes, often beauties.David Richter's ugly appearance definitely lowered the average appearance of the Richter family.

Seeing how timid and dull David Richter was, Ace couldn't help but make up a story for him in his mind.David Richter was probably like him, he didn't expect to come to the Knights, but he had to come for various reasons.

"Tap, tap."

Two knights suddenly appeared on the training ground. They were both riding black horses. One was the Grand Knight Commander Ross who had gone back and forth, and the other was riding in the lead. A man Ace didn’t know should be the head of the Georgia Knights. .

The head of the Georgia Knights rode a black horse and stopped firmly in front of Ace and David Richter, "Gentlemen, I am the head of the Georgia Knights. I am very busy, and you also need to spend a lot of money." There is a row of weapons on the side of the training field, you pick your own and attack each other. As long as you perform well, I will let you join the Georgia Knights for training. After six years, your strength will depend on you. Your own creation."

After the head of the Georgia Knights finished speaking, he rode away on a black horse, leaving this open space for them.

Both Ace and David Richter picked up a long sword.

Ace took a long sword, held the hilt of the long sword on his left shoulder, and bowed to David Richter, "Please advise."

David Richter did the same.

Ace saw that David Richter's sword hand was trembling, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Ace tentatively stabbed David Richter with a sword, and David Richter swung his sword to resist, but the strength in his hand was very small, and Ace felt that if he tried harder, he would put his sword The sword lay down.

Ace and David Richter make two more limp moves.

Ace knew that this could not be done anymore, otherwise neither of them would be able to enter the Georgia Knights.

Ace took a sudden step forward.David Richter just turned sideways, and Ace's entire face happened to appear in his pupils. David Richter's pupils shrank, and his heart was terrified. Then, he heard a sinister The voice rang in his ears, "You are so fat, the lich will come and eat you."

David Richter: Is, is this man really a lich? !

David Richter was so scared that he would die in the hands of the "Lich" in the next second. He held the sword in his hand with both hands, and slashed at Ace vigorously. He had seen it in his family before. His sword skills, no matter what he learned or not, he used all of them.

Then, the lich in David Richter's eyes was also defeated by him.

David Richter only thought that he had practiced swordsmanship hard for ten years, and at this moment he had an epiphany, and he shouted: "I am the man who wants to become a sword master!"

Ace couldn't take it anymore, the long sword in his hand spun around and knocked David Richter's sword to the ground.
