Skeleton King

Dead Realm, City Lord's Mansion of Eternal Night City.

Ace told General Arnold about the Sea Drake.

General Arnold pondered: "Bone-penetrating sea dragon beast? I remember that when Alexander I was king, many nobles liked this dish, and it was a must-have at banquets. However, most of the monsters I'm talking about only have a first-level head. There are no horns either."

Ace did not speak, allowing General Arnold to think quietly.

Suddenly, General Arnold said: "I just remembered. Not long after I came to the Deadland, there was a widely spread saying that all bone-deep sea dragon beasts would patrol around Dragon Island every year during the mating season, looking for mates there. Then, Once, a dragon in heat happened to pass by there."

Ace blinked.

General Arnold: "Dragon's nature is obscene."

If General Arnold had been more lively, he would have shrugged his shoulders at Ace and made a "you know" expression.But General Arnold did not. He skipped this paragraph and said: "Probably because of this, the later bone-piercing sea dragons have horns on their heads, and their names also have the word dragon in their names. I vaguely remember that this kind of monsters used to Not by that name."

Ace was speechless.

General Arnold: "Whether this legend is true or not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The bone-piercing sea dragon beast is a rare monster in the sea that is friendly with the dragon clan. Only when they are cruising in the sea, they don't need to avoid dragons." island."

Ace was puzzled, "But how does this help my current situation?"

General Arnold reminded: "His Royal Highness Norn."

Ace mused.

General Arnold: "Your Highness, take His Highness Norn with you, and the tenth-level bone-piercing sea dragon beast will not embarrass His Highness too much for His Highness Norn's sake."

Ace thought for a while, and said: "That's the only way. If I have the strength of level [-] now, I can return to the port of Nice through other gates of the dead world." Ace enters the dead world through which gate of the dead world. Which door must go out.Otherwise, Ace still carries the aura of the previous gate of the dead world, and the elemental storm encountered when returning to the present world from other gates of the dead world will be dozens of times normal.

Only eighth-level or even ninth-level high-level swordsmen and high-level magicians can resist hard.

General Arnold: "To be honest, His Highness is probably still in the waters of the Netherlands when he returns to the present world, but it is very likely that he is no longer in the bone-piercing sea dragon."

Ace: "The tenth-level monster can already tear the plane, and the body of the bone-penetrating sea dragon is so big, it is very likely that there are nodes in its body."

General Arnold: "Your Highness is not wrong. If this is the case, I will send someone to guard that node for a long time, and His Highness can return to the dead world at any time. If the bone-piercing sea dragon beast makes His Highness unhappy this time, Bill and I will go to meet him of."

Ace: "No, you still have business with Evernight City, Bill, he also needs to concentrate on researching potions. I'll just take Norn away."

……

Netherlands waters, unknown location.

As soon as Ace passed through the gate of the dead world, he fell back into the sea before finding the colorful reefs.Norn, on the other hand, flopped into the air, completely ignoring his old father.

Ace swam twice in the sea before finding the colorful reefs.

At this time, Ace looked a little embarrassed, his black bangs were sticking to his head wetly, his originally handsome cloak became a burden, and his spirit was not very sufficient.Before, Ace was swallowed by this big bone-piercing sea dragon before he recovered his battle strength with the five level-[-] bone-piercing sea dragons.

Now, as soon as Ace came out of the dead world, he fell into the sea again.

Ace finally found the group of colorful reefs. His fingers rested on the colorful reefs, but because the cloak on his shoulders was too thick, he couldn't use his strength.At this moment, Ace felt a slightly cold hand grabbing his wrist, trying to pull him ashore.

Ace put one hand on the reef, and with the other hand, with the strength of this man, he finally stepped on the colorful reef group again.

Ace lowered his head, untied the water-soaked cloak, and threw it on the ground.Only then did Ace have a chance to see the person who pulled him ashore just now.

There is a 26-year-old man standing on the colorful reefs. He has smooth and beautiful blond hair, which is very long and spreads to his ankles. His complexion is pale, and even looks transparent under the light. , For a moment, Ace could even see the blue blood vessels on his face, but in just a moment, this illusion disappeared.

This slightly sickly but unfeminine look of the young man is the most popular in the Pansy Empire.However, the youth has golden pupils that are rare in the Pansy Empire people.Ace couldn't help secretly guessing whether he came from the Finger Empire.

Ace: "Thank you just now."

The man smiled gently, like the breeze and bright moon, he sat down on the colorful reef casually, and said: "When we meet at sea, we should help each other. My name is Siren, how about you?"

Ace didn't want to look down at the siren, it would be impolite, so he sat down not far from the siren.

Ace hesitated, and said: "Ace." Although the name Ace is not common, it is not uncommon. If Ace tells the siren his last name, the siren will find him easily in the future.

At the same time, Nuoen finally had enough of playing in the sea, it landed on the colorful reefs, Nuoen's whole dragon was half lying on the stone, and regardless of Ace's pants were still wet, the dragon's head rested on Ace's lap.

Sure enough, the Siren saw Norn and asked with great interest: "What is this? Is it a monster you raised?"

Ace felt that his palms were a little wet, and he didn't know if the sea water was still dry. Except for himself, Nou, and Angelica, no one else in the world had ever seen Norn.Ace can't meet someone who sees Norn and throws them into the dead world.What's more, Ace can feel that the Siren is just an ordinary person and has no malice towards them.

It was Siren, he asked directly: "Is this a dragon cub?"

Ace was startled, and didn't hide any more, and said, "Yes." He stroked Nuo En's head and saw Nuo En snoring comfortably, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes. This is the dragon he raised. .

Ace didn't want the topic to revolve around Norn, he asked, "Siren, why are you here?"

Siren: "I was helping the guys on the island to fish. I fell asleep at night and saw you flopping in the sea and wanted to help you. What about you? Are you the magician of the magic island? I I don't know your strength, but I can feel that you are very strong."

Close to the mainland, apart from a few unknown islands, the most famous islands are Dragon Island and Magic Island.Ace guessed that the Siren was the captain of a ship on the Magic Island, and said honestly, "No."

The Siren looked a bit regretful, and he said, "I thought that there would be another dragon knight in Magic Island after a thousand years."

Ace chuckled lightly and said, "How could it be? Not to mention that I am not from Magic Island, even if I am, it will take another thousand years for Norn to grow up. I was already a skeleton at that time, how could there be a dragon knight who is a skeleton. "

Siren was slightly surprised: "You don't know?"

Seeing Siren's expression, Ace always felt that he missed important information.Seeing the vigilance in Ace's eyes, the Siren chuckled and didn't care.

Ace: "Looking at your demeanor, you don't look like a fisherman fishing in the sea. I have seen some mercenaries at sea. They are all tanned and have rough palms."

Siren tilted his head to look at Ace, his expression was a little sneering, a little helpless, and a little resigned, he said: "I don't really count, because I have a good father. Now, according to your pansy empire, You can be regarded as a prince, and take care of the fishermen under him."

Ace is more and more sure that the Siren was born on the magic island, and ordinary people can't make such a comparison.

It was Siren, who seemed to be particularly interested in Norn. He asked Ace, "You call it Norn? Is that its name? How old is it?"

Ace said, "Yes. Norn is five and a half years old now."

Siren: "It's stronger than ordinary dragon cubs." Since Ace guessed that Siren was born on the Magic Island, he was not surprised by his knowledge. There was a hint of a smile, but the siren's next words made Ace's face change.

Siren: "Has Norn learned dragon language magic?"

Ace: "What dragon language magic?"

The Siren looked at Ace in surprise, "Don't you know? Just like humans, no matter how good the affinity for magic elements is, they also need to learn spells and meditation. Juggernaut. But you would never think that they would have such strength after eating, eating and sleeping for 1000 years, and the dragons certainly need to learn."

Ace was startled. He originally thought that Norn would naturally understand magic as he grew older. He never thought that Norn also needed to learn.

Ace said sincerely: "Thank you. I will go to the Millais library to find books related to dragon language magic, and then teach Norn."

The Siren laughed, and he looked at Ace like an idiot, "I admit that the Millai Library is the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years, and in this respect, all other races combined are inferior to human beings. However, where do you have the confidence, there will be detailed records of dragon language magic in the Mi Lai library, and the knowledge of the dragon clan is passed on by word of mouth."

Ace looked at the siren quietly, without saying a word.

The siren looked at Norn for a moment, then turned his gaze to the sea.

Suddenly, the Siren stood up from the group of colorful reefs. He walked to the edge of the group of colorful reefs, grabbed into the sea with his hand, and caught a small fish. The body of the small fish was pure white, and there was only one The pink stripes, Ace recognized, this is an extremely rare fish in the sea - mullet.

Ace thought that the Siren was hungry and wanted to grill fish, and was about to help, when he saw the Siren turned his head, and the Siren waved his hand and said, "Nuen, come and eat the fish."

Suddenly, Ace thought it was ridiculous, that is, Angelica and Nuo Ou grew up with Nuo En, and Nuo En ignored them. Why would the Siren think that Nuo En would eat what he gave him? .

Sure enough, Norn...

Norn...

Norn sat up sleepily from Ace's lap, then wobbled over to the siren.The mullet fish was not big, and the siren was stuffed into Nuo En's mouth. Nuo En opened his mouth and ate it in one bite.

The sea breeze blew, and Ace's clothes were still dry, and Ace was shivering.

Not only that, Ace felt that his heart was also pulled cold.

The Siren probably knew what Ace was thinking, and took the initiative to explain to Ace, "The mullet is the favorite food of dragon cubs. Every time a baby dragon hatches, the guys on Dragon Island would like to empty out all the mullet in the sea. "

Ace: "It's not mentioned in the book."

Siren: "Don't rely too much on books. There are too many things in this world. You must see with your eyes and feel with your heart to know."

Ace didn't move, but it was obvious that he had listened to Siren's words.

Norn had just finished eating the mullet fish in his mouth, and the siren immediately picked up another one, and so on.Even Ace was a little surprised, because although the mullet is not a monster, it swims extremely fast. Even if there is a school of mullet under the colorful reefs, Ace can't catch them so quickly without magic.

Ace said, "You are very good at fishing."

The Siren was not very proud, and said indifferently: "It's just my old job."

Seeing Nuoen eating happily, the Siren carefully touched Nuoen's head with his hand.Norn was still chewing the mullet in his mouth, holding it in his paws, his head just shook slightly, and he didn't attack the siren.

Siren laughed even more freely.

Ace was burning with jealousy, always feeling like his son was going to be robbed.

Ace endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He said, "Noen, come back."

Nuoen heard Ace's words, held the mullet fish in his paws, and flew back to Ace without a trace, which somewhat comforted Ace.

The Siren sat directly on the edge of the colorful reefs. He looked at Ace and Nou, a teenager and a dragon getting along happily.This scene, once the Siren could not imagine, but now it feels very harmonious.

Siren: "You did not sign a contract with Norn." He did not use interrogative sentences, but affirmative sentences.

Ace asked, "So what?"

Siren: "You are really good to it."

Ace didn't want to test each other with the siren anymore, he asked directly: "Are you from the magic island?"

Siren raised his eyebrows, and then he realized that Ace had been misunderstood all along.The Siren ignored Ace, but stood not far from Ace and Nuo En, and asked Nuo En directly: "Nuen, do you want to go back to Long Island with me?"

Ace was shocked, and the clues that were unclear in his mind before became clear in an instant, "I was helping the guys on the island to fish." "I am now, according to your Pansy Empire, a prince Right." "They are stronger than ordinary dragon cubs." "I admit that the Mile Library is the crystallization of human wisdom for thousands of years."

……

Siren is not from Magic Island at all, he is from Dragon Island.That's why he cares so much about Nuoou, so he knows the Dragon Clan so well.

Sirens may not be human at all.

So he called himself a prince and kept his mouth shut about how humans are.He should be the king of another ethnic group that is close to the dragon clan in the sea.

Ace hugged Norn and took a few steps back.He will face the most powerful enemy he has ever seen, the Siren can transform into a human form, he is at least a tenth-level monster, and he is a holy rank.No wonder, Ace couldn't feel his strength at first.

The Siren didn't mean to rob Norn by force, and maybe he was confident enough in his own strength that he had nothing to fear.

The Siren was still standing there, bewitching Nuo En, and said: "Nuo En, do you want to go back to Dragon Island with me? Do you like rouge fish? It's the small fish I caught for you just now. If you go back to Dragon Island, adult The dragon clan will prepare a pool of mullet fish for you. There have been no newborn babies breaking their shells on Dragon Island for a long time, and they will be very happy for you to go back, and each dragon clan will give you a little bit of their treasure."

"These gold, jewels, and diamonds will fill your cave, and you can sleep on it or play casually. In addition, you may find your relatives there, even your parents, all adult dragons will love You, like loving your own cub."

"Nonn, you are a golden dragon. As long as you are good enough, you will become the king of the dragon clan in thousands of years. Every adult dragon is a strong person of the double holy rank, and they will all become your people. "

……

Norn let out a breath. Just now the mullet fish was delicious, and it was very full. Now, nestled in Ace's arms, it feels a little sleepy.

The siren looked at the drowsy Norn in Ace's arms silently.

Ace said coldly, "Are you finished?"

The siren felt a breath stuck in his throat, a feeling he hadn't experienced for many years.

Ace held Norn with one hand, and took out the Bone Staff from the space wristband with the other hand. He said, "Do you recognize the bone-deep sea dragon beast? Let it let us out. Otherwise, you can get it from my corpse." Step up and take the norn."

Siren looked at Ace, just like when Ace first met him, he still had a calm expression on his face.

Suddenly, before Ace had time to recite the spell and retreat to the dead world, he saw the siren transforming into a phantom and approaching him directly.Ace only had time to wave the bone staff in front of him, and he felt the world spinning for a while.

When Ace stood firmly on the land again, he was already in another world.

In the sea market in the Port of Nice, small merchants and peddlers are still shouting, and various things are placed on various stalls, and everything is as noisy as before.

Ace retreated quietly into the alley, Nuoen was still lying in his arms, Ace took the cloak and carefully covered Nuoen.

It was just in Ace's ears, and the Siren's voice echoed, "If you are really good for it, you will send it back to Dragon Island."
