Skeleton King

At this time, Nuo Ou and Ace had already entered the store. The two of them walked through the dazzling array of products and walked to the counter. Behind the counter sat an old man with a stooped body. His back was lifted high and his head was pressed down. Low, as if carrying something, overwhelmed.

Seeing Ace and Nou walk into the shop, the old man said listlessly: "Children, are you selling or buying? Selling, you can sell your stuff to death. Here I can give you silver frost shells, Pansy Empire There are also gold coins from the Finger Empire and the gold coins from the Finger Empire, and they can be mortgaged, and you can exchange them before the time limit ends, or barter. To buy something, just say what you want directly.”

Ace: "We are here to buy things. I saw a lot of potions at the door of the store, and I want to ask if there is any potion here?"

Without raising his eyelids, the old man asked, "What?"

Ace: "Mysterious Yin Potion."

Old man: "How much?"

Ace was overjoyed. Although he heard that there were many unremarkable shops on Mi Lai Street, and there were many hard-to-find things outside, he didn't expect to find the Xuanyin potion so easily.

Ace asked, "How many are there?"

The old man's attitude was quite average, he didn't even look at Ace and said, "How much do you want, so I can tell you how much?"

Ace was not angry either. He asked this question just now because there are not many places where Xuanyin medicine can be used. He was afraid that the store only stocked one or two, which would be a bit troublesome.Ace took out a bag from his arms, which contained a bag full of silver frost shells, at least seven or eight hundred. He asked, "How much Xuanyin potion can I buy?"

Old man: "Four."

Ace took out another bag of silver frost shells from his bosom, and said, "I want eight."

The old man took two bags, counted out 50 silver frost shells from them, and returned them to Ace, then walked into the back of the shop with the rest, and after a while, he took out eight Xuanyin potions and handed them to Ace.

When Nuo Ou saw the Xuanyin medicine for the first time, he was a little surprised. The Xuanyin medicine is different from most medicines. Most of the medicines have the same color. The upper half of the Xuanyin medicine is white, and the lower half is white. is blue.

After thanking the old man, Ace left the grocery store with Nuoou.

Nou asked, "What is the use of this potion?"

Ace: "Do you know why the bone-penetrating sea dragon is called this name?"

Nou shook his head.

Ace said: "The whole body of the bone-penetrating sea dragon is transparent, even the bones. Through its body, you can even see the color of the sea water behind it. This is the protective color of the bone-penetrating sea dragon, and it is also a way to save its life. What do you say , in the vast sea, how do we find this sea beast?"

Nuo Ou: "This..." Then Nuo Ou quickly realized, "What does the Xuanyin Potion have to do with this?"

Ace nodded, "That's right, the potion of Xuanyin can attract the sea dragon beast. Just drop such a drop in the sea."

Ace smiled complacently, "Although there is no bottleneck for bone-penetrating sea dragons to advance, it is not easy for them to accumulate magic power. Xuanyin potion can help them. It is difficult for low-level bone-penetrating sea dragons to resist the temptation of Xuanyin potion. As for advanced Yes, I can't attract you either."

Nuo Ou took four Xuanyin potions from Ace and said, "That's not bad."

Ace suddenly said solemnly: "Don't enter the deep sea, don't go too far from the land, don't use too many mysterious potions at one time, in case you attract bone-piercing sea dragon beasts above level [-], then you will be in the sea again. Can't even run away."

Nou heard the overtones in Ace's words, "Me? Isn't it us?"

Ace: "Have you forgotten what the scholar of Millais University said? The bone sea dragon is timid by nature. If there are many people, it is difficult to attract it. For them, two people are a lot. The two of us are together , but get twice the result with half the effort."

Nuoou: "But, you are with me..."

There is no lack of worry in Nuo's words.

Ace: "Don't worry, I won't go too far out to sea." Seeing that Nuoou was still thinking about him, Ace could only say: "It will be fine, Nuoen is following me."

Nuoou's face instantly turned into the word "囧". He looked around, but he didn't know where Ace hid Norn.

Ace stretched out his index finger and pointed to the sky.Nuo looked up, there was not a single cloud in the sky over the Port of Nice, it was like a pure sapphire, covering both the Port of Nice and the Netherlands Sea.

Ace: "I can't help it either. I can't leave Norn at home. Angelica can't stand it. Don't worry, Norn is very vigilant and won't be discovered."

Nou was shocked by Ace's unreliability, "Nice Port is no better than Bremen City, there are so many strong people here, if Norn is discovered..."

Ace: "I didn't let the Norn enter the city at all. It will join me when it is at sea."

In fact, Norn is following Ace, but in the city of Eternal Night in the Dead Realm.

In any case, thinking of Norn following Ace, Nou was always relieved. He first found a small boat in the port of Nice and entered the Netherlands Sea.Soon after, Ace will take another boat and enter the Netherlands Sea.

They agreed that whoever gets enough bone-penetrating sea dragon beast magic crystals first will go back to Mi Lai street first.

However, Ace watched Noou leave the port of Nice. He did not leave in a fisherman's boat like Noou did.

Ace walked a little way into the city, and found a tavern closest to the port. There were a few small tables scattered here and there, and there were eight or nine sailor-like people sitting there, drinking ale and talking loudly. With the shipwrecks I have encountered, and the women of the Port of Nice.

In the middle, there is a man in his 40s. He combs his hair back, has a delicate shaved beard, a red bow tie around his neck, a fancy white striped shirt, and iron-toed shoes on his feet. , in short, a nondescript dress.

The middle-aged man was listening to the sailors bragging with a smile. Suddenly, he noticed a young man appeared beside him.

This boy is a character who I don't know how to describe.

The boy's figure was between that of a boy and an adult, and his height was no worse than that of a mercenary at sea, but his figure was still a little thin.He was wearing a slim black long trousers and a cloak of the same color, which was fastened at the neckline with a silver ring. The knowledgeable first officer could tell at a glance that the simple style of clothing was extremely well made. fine.

And the most forgettable thing is the young man's appearance, which is simply inhumanly handsome.There are a pair of peacock green eyes on the young man's pale face. Its shape is charming. When looking at you, it is as gentle and affectionate as looking at a lover. When you are alienated, it looks like the legendary Medusa. It makes people feel mysterious and terrifying.

Of course the first mate didn't have so many thoughts in his heart, he just looked at the lady proprietress in the tavern who was still charming, when the young man walked into the tavern, the old woman made Xia Fei's cheeks, and even dropped the wine glass she was wiping on the table I don't know.

Ace looked at the first mate who was looking at him critically. His eyes were gentle and there was a smile on his mouth. "Hi sir, I have something to ask you."

This "sir" scratched the mate's itch. Normally, "sir" was only used to refer to nobles and gentlemen, and he was never used to address someone from a poor background like him.

Moreover, the first officer is now in the tavern. The proprietress of this tavern was originally the wife of his friend. His friend passed away in a shipwreck ten years ago, and the proprietress has been guarding him for ten years.Although at sea, the first mate has already become a person, as long as he doesn't like the lady of a rich family, he can marry any young girl, but he still likes the proprietress of this tavern.

A woman who is willing to guard the dead will treat the living just as well.

For a moment, the first officer felt that he had a lot of status again, and he didn't feel so displeased with Ace anymore.The first officer looked at Ace, imitating those noble lords, and raised his head reservedly, "What?"

After separating from Nuoou, it seemed that some valve on Ace's body was opened. The aura on his body was astonishing. It was the aura that had controlled thousands of troops and countless lives.Ace smiled slightly, although he is now asking for personnel, but his appearance made the first mate and his sailors feel that Ace is the one who controls their destiny.

Ace: "I heard at the Port of Nice that your ship is going to sea this afternoon."

The first mate: "Yes. The captain is not here. I will take my sailors to go fishing in the open sea."

Ace: "Can you take me for a ride? I heard that there is a colorful reef to the south of the port of Nice. I want to go there."

Chief officer: "What do you want to go there? The colorful reefs are already in the open sea, and there are no larger reefs around that can be called islands, and there are many submerged reefs, and it is not easy for a large ship to sail. Ping An, who has a long brain, sent you there, and it is impossible to go back to pick you up..."

Before the first mate could say anything, Ace threw a small bag of gold coins onto the small square table.

The chief mate's words suddenly seemed to be stuck.

Ace said lightly: "This is the reward. It is yours to send me to the colorful reefs. At that time, I will find a way to leave by myself, and I don't need you to pick me up."

The mate stared at the gold coins on the square table, thinking about the sound he heard when Ace tossed out the money bag just now, and estimated how much money was in it.The first mate no longer hesitated, gritted his teeth and said directly: "Deal!"

Ace turned and left the tavern, "Then see you at the Port of Nice this afternoon."

Ace didn't take the gold coins away, because he believed that no one alive would dare to take his money.

……

Ace leaned against the railing of the deck of the big ship, the sea breeze blowing gently, his hair fluttering with the wind.Some sailors passing by the deck looked at Ace enviously, but Ace just pretended not to know, and he felt the world quietly.

Ace closed his eyes, he could "see" that the world is composed of blue water elements and cyan wind elements, and only in the deepest seabed are there hidden red fire elements and brown earth elements .As the body of the water element, Ace undoubtedly enjoys the current environment the most.

However, Ace thought of the undead world, and he felt that he was more fortunate to have learned undead magic.

He can more truly feel the sameness and difference between the two planes, the compatibility and incompatibility of light attribute and dark attribute magic elements, and he has gone further on the road of magic than Daniel and himself imagined. far faster.

The big ship sailed at sea for a day. On the afternoon of the second day, the first officer on the ship came to Ace and told him, "We are going to the colorful reefs soon. The reefs outside the colorful reefs are relatively small, but there are two pieces in the middle. The relatively large reef, where there are red marks, has buried water and food, which is enough for two people for a month. But this is for people who encounter shipwreck. If you need it, you can bring some food down from the boat .”

Ace nodded and said, "You don't need to send me to the middle, as long as there is a place to put me down."

The first mate breathed a sigh of relief. Although he originally only planned to put the boat down and let Ace go to the middle of the reefs, it would be better if Ace didn't need him to send him.

The first officer was concerned again: "But how did you come back? Usually when we sail the ship, we will avoid this area for fear of running aground. Those who stay here for a month or so may not encounter passing ships."

Ace: "Of course I have a way."

Ace seemed unwilling to say more, and the first mate naturally wouldn't force it, but just reached the edge of the colorful reefs, put a rope and sent Ace down.

Ace waited for the big ship to leave, he quickly jumped over the reef like a swallow, and found the two largest reefs in the group of colorful reefs that the mate said.These two reefs are adjacent, and ordinary people can jump farther and can cross the distance.

Ace found a place to sit down. He didn't find a random place near the sea to lure the bone sea drake, because that would require too much patience. What Ace lacks most is patience, and there is no guarantee that no one will be caught by his actions. attract.

Ace's mind turned, and Hai Lan's staff appeared in his hand instantly.

Unlike many years ago, now that Ace has grown up in stature, Hai Lan's staff is only a little higher than Ace's shoulders, and it finally doesn't look like a child stealing something from an adult, and Ace is the owner of Hai Lan's staff.

But Ace didn't think so. In order to escape from the man in black, he sacrificed himself to Hai Lan's staff.Ace looked at the heart of the ocean inlaid on Hai Lan's staff, and there were no cracks on it.According to reason, Ace's life span is only a few years.But, the corners of Ace's mouth curled slightly, if Hai Lan's staff has a mind, then it must have made a failed deal.

Ace took out four Xuanyin potions from his arms. He didn't drop a drop from them into the sea like he told Nuoou. Ace's fingers were like blades, and he directly cut open the bottles of Xuanyin potions. The four bottles of potions simultaneously fell into the sea.

The Xuanyin potion quickly melted into the sea, the blue potion below was heavier than the sea water, it quickly sank to the depths of the sea, and some were blown far away with the waves, the white potion on top was lighter than the sea water, They float on the edge of the colorful reef.

The colorful reef was originally famous for its five colors. It has five colors: blue, white, red, yellow and black, but now only three colors of red, yellow and black are exposed above the sea level. The white mysterious yin potion is like snowflakes. Floating on the edge of the colorful reefs is very beautiful.

Ace didn't wait long, only a quarter of an hour, a faint shadow appeared under the sea, not what Ace saw with his naked eyes, but what the water element told him.

The bone-piercing sea dragon beast did not find Ace, and Ace was integrated with Hai Lan's staff at this time. Unless he was two levels above Ace and good at detecting and hiding people, no one could find him.

Three bone-piercing sea dragons of level [-] have appeared, and there are countless bone-piercing sea dragons of level [-] and below. Ace was not in a hurry, he waited for a while, and two more level [-] bone-piercing sea dragons came from the depths of the sea , I think the bone-piercing sea dragon beasts around here have all gathered on the edge of the colorful reef group.

But at this time, a lot of time has passed, the previous three bone-piercing sea dragon beasts can't wait any longer, they don't want others of the same kind to share the Xuanyin potion with them.Although the bone-piercing sea dragons are timid and cautious by nature, they feel uneasy about the mysterious potion that suddenly appeared on the sea, but because they don't feel the breath of humans and other sea beasts, the bone-piercing sea dragons still can't resist the temptation to improve their strength.

The head of the first bone-penetrating sea drake came out of the sea, and it just turned its back to Ace, and it found nothing.The bone-piercing sea dragon swallowed a lot of Xuanyin medicine, and then the bone-piercing sea dragon let out a cry of "ah-ah-ah-".

The bone-penetrating sea dragon beast's cry is very crisp, like a little girl screaming, which makes people feel pity.But in fact, the appearance of the bone-penetrating sea dragon beast is completely unpityable.The bone-penetrating sea dragon beast is very large, with a length of 22 feet at the fourth level, and more than 65 feet at the sixth level. If they want to swallow Ace, they only need to open and close their mouths.

Hearing the cry of the first Bone-Bone Seadragon, the two Bone-Bone Seadragons still on the bottom of the sea surfaced, and even the other two Bone-Bone Seadragons in the distance also accelerated.

Then, Ace saw Sea Drake head-on for the first time.There is a pointed horn on the top of the bone-penetrating sea dragon beast, which is the only part of its body that is not transparent, and it is somewhat similar to the dragon horn, which is probably why there is a word "dragon" in its name.The body shape of the bone sea dragon is like a fish, the forelimbs are fin-shaped, and the end of the tail is a symmetrical caudal fin along its tail, which can keep its body stable and speed up when swimming.

In short, the bone-penetrating sea dragon is a very beautiful sea beast with smooth lines.

However, the bone-piercing sea dragon that Ace saw also saw Ace, and in an instant, it let out a very sharp cry, "Ah-ah-ah-", which is different from the bone-piercing sea dragon before. The joy of the sea dragon beast's cry, the bone-piercing sea dragon beast's cry was urgent and hurried, obviously frightened to the extreme.

Estu hadn't moved yet, the bone-piercing sea dragon with its back facing him seemed to be sinking under the sea, and the two bone-piercing sea dragons that had just rushed to the colorful reefs didn't even have the courage to peek out, so they tried to escape.

Ace: Huh.

Before, Ace read in the book that the bone-piercing sea dragon beast is one of the most timid monsters in the ocean, because of their deceptive appearance. When they were young, unless they were accidentally eaten by a big sea beast, as long as they were old To be honest, they can live a long time.Because of this, most of the bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts that grow up are not powerful in combat, but cautious enough.

Ace thought the book was exaggerated before, but now...

Ace looked at all the sea dragon beasts who didn't know his strength at all, but felt that they couldn't run fast enough, and really felt that the book was not deceiving me.

However, it's too late.

Ace's face was calm, and he raised Hai Lan's staff. The heart of the ocean on Hai Lan's staff was more dazzling than the sea facing Ace, and it shone with dark blue light.

Ace's lips moved quickly, and he chanted a spell silently. The color of part of the sea water turned into a deeper, close to black blue, and dark blue water columns appeared in the sea. These water columns quickly connected and became one. The cage, imprisoning several level six bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts inside.Even a lot of small bone sea dragons were imprisoned along the way, and some bone bone sea dragons escaped, but because there were too many low-level bone sea dragons, Ace didn't care.

This is the sixth-level magic "Water Prison" that Ace learned not long ago.

That's right, when Nou broke through to the sixth-level swordsman, Ace also became a sixth-level magician, but this matter, only General Arnold and Angela of the Dead Realm know about it, oh, and Carl Caesar of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, Because Ace wanted to get a higher share in their cooperation, he had to tell Karl Kaiser about his progress in cultivation.

It was at this time that Ace admired Carl Caesar's wily tricks.

Locking up the bone sea dragon beast in the water prison is not the end, and several sixth-level bone sea dragon beasts also understand that they can't escape, they frantically hit the water prison with their bodies, and they even grow their mouths, thinking Gnaw the prison of water with your teeth.

This process lasted for a long time, until night fell, the reef under Ace's feet was covered by sea water, and the sea water had spread to Ace's calf, and Ace felt the impact of the bone-penetrating sea dragon weakened.

Ace's face was a little pale. During this period, his magic power bottomed out twice. It was only because of the recovery potion that General Arnold gave him before that Ace could not be overwhelmed.

Ace felt that a bone-piercing sea drake hadn't hit the prison of water again, it had hit the hardest before, and there were light red bloodstains on its body, it probably wanted to rest for a while.

Ace stared, it was now.

Ace raised Hai Lan's staff again, this time he chanted the spell for a longer time, and his eyes were colder.

I saw the railings of the water prison that originally imprisoned the bone-piercing sea dragon beast, they slowly tightened, and finally crossed, directly strangling the bone-penetrating sea dragon beast.90% of the bone-penetrating sea dragon's body is composed of water. After it died, its blood only stained the sea area red, while its horns and magic crystals sank to the bottom of the sea.

This is the most lethal "water bondage" among the water magic that Ace has learned.

And these spells are obtained by Ace from the Skeleton King's library, and they are extremely precious.The magic notes that are eligible to be placed in the Skeleton King's library are basically from the wizards, and the spells that the wizards sing, even if they are the same water polo technique as the first-level magicians, they only need to change a few ancient magic words of the spells. The order can make the water polo more powerful.

For advanced spells, wizards cut down on spells.The faster the magician chanted the spell, the faster he could avoid dying at the hands of the assassin before the spell was finished.

A small fountain rose from the sea, holding the horn and magic crystal of the dead bone-deep sea dragon, and sent it to Ace.Ace pocketed them.

Right after the first Bone-Bone Sea Drake died, the other Bone-Bone Sea Drakes hit harder.But they have been colliding for a day, and their physical strength has already reached their limit. Ace has more energy to restore magic because he has less to maintain a water prison.

In this way, one ebb and flow, more and more bright red blood floated to the sea.

Ace had five more magic crystals and horns of the sixth-level bone-penetrating sea dragon beast in his hand. As for the countless other small bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts, Ace put them directly into his space wristband.

This battle lasted for a day and a night, and in the distant sea, the sleeping sun was about to break through the sea again.

Ace was literally leaning on Hai Lan's staff and using it as a crutch to stand on the colorful reef.At this time, Ace also breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched and was about to take Hailan's staff back into his body.

Ace felt that there was a different fluctuation from Hai Lan's staff.

Ace didn't know what this fluctuation meant, because he had never encountered it before.But Ace's intuition told him that this is definitely not a good thing.Ace thought vaguely that when he held Hailan's staff for the first time and faced the man in black, the Hailan's staff also had similar fluctuations.But the latter is like static electricity, while the former is more like a bolt of lightning that strikes directly, the two are completely different.

After a while, Ace opened his eyes wide, and he "saw" a lot of water elements appearing in the south direction of the colorful reefs, even more than the water elements brought by his Hailan staff.

These water elements are like a mountain appearing in the sea, and Ace can't ignore it even if he wants to ignore it.

Could it be that a tsunami is coming?That was Ace's first thought.

Then, Ace saw a huge sea beast appearing in front of it. Its body is really as huge as a mountain, but its lines are smooth and beautiful that Ace has never seen before. It is the darkest before the dawn. At that moment, the sea showed its ferocious fangs to Ace, making Ace pay the price for his underestimation of the danger of the sea.

On the top of the sea beast's head is a pointed horn, which is a beautiful pattern of blue and white intersecting.

Ace recognized it, it was the bone-penetrating sea drake.

But this is different from the Bone-Bone Seadragon that Ace just killed. The Bone-Bone Seadragon in front of Ace is so powerful that it seems to be a different species from other Bone-Bone Seadragons.

Ace couldn't even imagine how powerful it was.

Ninth grade, or tenth grade?

Ace's first reaction was to break through the space and return to the dead world.Ace is now a sixth-level magician. He can open the gate of the dead world without the assistance of the bone staff. However, Ace seems to be locked. Big eyes stared at Ace calmly.

Under the gaze of the bone-penetrating sea drake's eyes, Ace couldn't move.

Then, Ace saw the bone sea dragon opened its mouth, its mouth was so big that it almost covered the sky, and it swallowed Ace and the whole group of colorful reefs into its belly.

When the sun finally broke through the sea and illuminated the sea area, the sea was empty.Whether it's Ace or the colorful reefs, it's as if they have never appeared before.

Ace was woken up by the waves hitting him.

The colorful reefs are only one-third of the original size, and they are all piled up at this time, and Ace is lying on the remaining colorful reefs.Ace propped his elbows on the reef, and sat up halfway. He only felt a splitting headache and aches all over his body.

Ace waited for a while, when his headache was not so painful, he remembered what happened before.Ace killed several Bone-Bone Sea Drakes, and when he was about to stop, a huge Bone-Bone Sea Drake suddenly appeared and swallowed him.

Ok.

swallowed him.

Ace looked at the white clouds drifting past his head and smelled the slightly fishy sea breeze. He was a little puzzled. Is he still in the belly of the bone-piercing sea dragon, or was he pulled out?

Thinking of the latter possibility, Ace only felt goose bumps all over his body.

However, Ace looked around. Although the sky was bright, he didn't see the sun, and he didn't see any islands except the sea.Ace sighed, he didn't even know if he was still in the Netherlands.

Ace waited for another half a day, but the surrounding area was still calm and there was no other movement.

Ace didn't wait any longer, he took a few steps forward, directly crossed the barrier between the planes, and arrived at the realm of the dead.Ace felt the strong dark magical elements of the dead world, and took a deep breath, this is his territory.

Ace waited in mid-air for a while, and a group of skeleton knights appeared on the ground level. They saw Ace dismount quickly and half-kneeled on the ground, "See Your Highness."

The two planes of the dead world and the present world are adjacent, and there are countless intersecting nodes, which also means that there are countless passages in the two planes, but these passages are fixed, that is to say, the connection between each dead world The door will fixedly connect a certain location in the dead world with a certain location in the present world.Ace returned to the dead world from a strange place in this world, and he is also very likely to reach places he has never been to in the dead world.

Therefore, now there are skeleton knights under General Arnold everywhere in the dead world, ensuring that no matter where Ace falls in the dead world, the skeleton knights can find him quickly.

Ace: "Where is this place?"

The leading skeleton knight: "Return to Your Highness, this is the south of Eternal Night City, and the south of the residence of Lord Lich Ingersoll."

Ace: "How long will it take to go back?"

"We need two days, Your Highness..." The leading skeleton knight hesitated, and said, "I don't know."

"I see." Ace: "Do you have a way to contact General Arnold?"

After receiving the affirmative answer from the skeleton knight, Ace said, "Tell General Arnold that I will return to Eternal Night City immediately."

The leading skeleton knight: "Yes, Your Highness."

After confirming his position, Ace headed north directly, and after only half a day, he returned to Eternal Night City.
