Skeleton King

Bad Soden is a peaceful village.For hundreds of years, life here has gone round and round, and people are contented and happy. Little tears will soon be forgotten, and laughter flows in the countryside.

But today is an unusual day. The largest manor in Bad Soden, Viscount Neumann's manor, is dead. All the servants are walking lightly, like cats, not daring to make any more noises, for fear of annoying the housekeeper. , and even the anger of the manor owner.

Yes, something big happened at Viscount Neumann's estate.

Viscountess Neumann is dying.

Caroline Neumann, a beauty who was once famous in the imperial capital, was finally on the verge of dying after three days of lingering on the hospital bed.No one knows when it will come, it may be the next minute, or the next second.

The Bright Mage who sang the Requiem is already waiting in the manor, and the world of death is about to summon Viscountess Neumann.

"Oh, poor lady." The maid sweeping the floor in the garden was sad for the beautiful Viscountess Neumann. At the last moment of her life, her husband didn't know which province he was hunting or watching a tournament. He didn't know at all. The woman he was crazy about was dying; or maybe Viscount Neumann knew that he just didn't want to come back.

And the beautiful lady can only be alone.

In the manor, there are only the steward and their servants, oh, and those bright mages.In the past, the beauty of Viscountess Neumann was also amazed by those bright mages who were known as ascetic.They should sing the requiem well, so that the soul of the Viscountess will not be harmed in the dead world.

Ugh.

The sentimental maid was saddened to think of Viscountess Neumann's haggard face and yellow hair.Viscountess Neumann is gone, and the manor is going to lose its color all of a sudden.

Before the worried maid finished sighing, she saw the butler leading a boy under ten years old to the master bedroom on the third floor.

The broken black hair on the young boy's forehead slightly covered his eyes. Those emerald-like eyes were calm and melancholy, but these green eyes were not as bright as usual, and the color was a bit dim at this time.A small white bow tie was tied around his neck, and the cuffs and hem of the dress were intricately lace, and the cuffs of his trousers were neatly tucked into his boots.With his straight back and steady steps, the young boy is not a wild child in the village at first glance. He is the young master of this manor and the only son of Viscount Neumann and his wife.

Oh, Viscountess Neumann will not be alone, she still has the young master, the maid felt a little relieved.

At this time, the son of the Viscountess Neumann, who is also the future owner of the manor and even the fief—Ace Neumann, he followed the instructions of the housekeeper and walked quickly to the master bedroom on the third floor, "Master, The Viscountess is dying. She wants to see you one last time."

When Ace walked to the door of the master bedroom, he hesitated.

The housekeeper opened the door for him, "Master."

In front of Ace is an empty house. The floor of the room is covered with long, soft carpets. There are only exquisite bronze mirrors on the walls and luxurious sofas. There are no decorations in the rest of the room, only the middle ones. A gorgeous curtain, underneath is a sunken, cloud-like big bed, and the down quilt is so fluffy that you can't even tell that there is a person lying in it.

Ace: "What about the others, what about those light mages?"

"Masters are next door." The butler watched the young master enter the room and closed the door silently. "The Viscountess said that she has something to say to you alone."

Ace walked to the bed, and the woman lying on the bed had a high nose bridge, deep eye sockets, and her skin was so white that it seemed to be transparent. Her originally bright blonde hair had lost its usual luster.Her breathing was so soft that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground in this quiet room, Ace couldn't quite hear her breathing clearly.Those people were right, she could die at any moment.

Viscountess Neumann's eyelashes fluttered like butterflies, as if she felt Ace's arrival, her eyes were half-opened, and she said angrily, "My child, you are here, sit next to me."

Ace took two steps forward in silence,

Sitting on the bed, he lightly held the Viscountess' hand.

Viscountess Neumann: "Don't be afraid, the dead world is the destination of each of us..."

Ace shook his head, he seemed too uncomfortable to say a word.

Viscountess Neumann's lips were still opening and closing, but Ace couldn't hear what she said at all, so he had to bend down slightly, and put his ear against her lips.

Viscountess Neumann: "There is one thing I must tell you."

Ace didn't speak, he just nodded invisibly, indicating to the Viscountess that he heard.

Viscountess Neumann: "Don't go to the Knights."

Ace only thought Viscountess Neumann was out of her mind, and he explained: "Every nobleman must go to the Knights to practice before he becomes an adult."

"Ben von Neumann is not your father." The Viscountess Neumann held Ace's hand suddenly became very tight. No one could figure out how a dying person could have such a big hand strength.

Ace's pupils dilated slightly, and he was shocked to hear Viscountess Neumann reveal the secret she had hidden for ten years before she died, "Don't become a fourth-level knight, the fighting spirit you awakened at the fourth level must be a natural fighting spirit .”

Innate Dou Qi cannot be cultivated, it is a Dou Qi that can only be inherited by blood.

Both Ace and Viscountess Neumann have a pair of extremely beautiful green eyes, with charming shapes and deep pupils. Usually, just staring at one person intently, most people will be fascinated.But at this moment, one pair of pupils was shocked, while the other pair gradually became cloudy.

Ace looked at Viscountess Neumann and asked word by word, "Who is my biological father?"

The light in Viscountess Neumann's pupils gradually faded, "His fighting spirit is very good-looking."

Ace didn't notice Viscountess Neumann's strangeness, he was still immersed in the feeling of being at a loss when he just learned the truth, "What's his name?"

Viscount Neumann slowly let go of her youngest son's hand, wanting to touch his face, "I don't remember, people rarely call him by his name."

The hand raised in mid-air suddenly fell.

Ace sat on the edge of the bed blankly, the door of the master bedroom was opened with a "bang", and the voice of the usually calm butler trembled a little, "The mage said that the door of the dead world has opened, and the Viscountess has gone."

Ace slowly slid out of the bed and sat on the ground, watching this once magnificent woman return to the realm of death like everyone in this world.

The light mages chanted requiem in a low voice, and tried their best to strengthen the viscountess' soul, so that she would be dazzling even in the dead world, even among mediocre souls.

Outside the master bedroom, all the servants also lowered their heads, showing respect to the great Master Guangming.No one noticed that after Master Guangming finished singing, the young master who had been sitting on the ground quietly left the master bedroom.

This is the first rain this spring.

Ace walked out of the manor and walked into the heavy rain. This noble boy is now in chaos, not only because of his mother's sudden death and his father's other people, but also because of his perception of this world, which is similar to the European medieval society, this magical world .

Ace Neumann, no, his real name wasn't that, no, it doesn't matter.

Ace was originally just an ordinary freshman in Huaguo on Earth. When he visited the campus on the first day of school, he found a fantasy novel "Sword and Magic" in the library.

The magnificent world background, the intricate family power, the nobles use the world as a chessboard, and the lives of countless people as chips to play games; magicians are pedantic, and ancient spells can turn the battlefield into a sea of ​​corpses and blood in the blink of an eye, and can also instantly move mountains and seas The knight holds a sharp sword and a spear, composes a battle song with blood and loyalty, and presides over justice in the world with fighting spirit.

Ace is completely mesmerized.He stood in the library and flipped through the novel until the lights came on and the library was about to close. He reluctantly turned to the last page of "Sword and Magic", wanting to read the finale first.

then……

Then his eyes went black.

When he woke up again, in the old manor, the beautiful maid beside him put soft underwear on him, and his originally slender body turned into a soft and cute bun.

Everyone calls him Master, he is Ace Neumann.

His father was the owner of this fief, the Viscount Neumann; his mother was originally the young daughter of a baron, but because of her beauty, she married the Viscount Neumann, the Viscount Neumann.

Before Ace recovered from the shock of crossing, there was a new bad news. His mother, the Viscountess Neumann, who had been to the banquet for three days, caught a cold at the banquet, and her condition became more and more serious. When she returned to the manor, she was too sick to get out of the carriage by herself.

Ace didn't like the viscountess who left her young son behind and attended frequent banquets at all, but that didn't mean he wanted her dead.What's more, Viscountess Neumann left him such a big thunder before she died.

When every noble boy is 12 years old, he will be required to join the knight order.

This is to prevent the nobles of the empire from becoming a group of dandies who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. Most nobles will return to the fief after the knights' training, inherit the title or seek a small official position; those who are particularly outstanding will be appreciated by the nobles and even His Majesty , have the opportunity to enter the Royal Knights and be directly responsible for His Majesty's safety; those who are particularly stupid, cruel, or greedy may be deprived of the qualification to inherit the title, and His Majesty will bestow his title to the deprived person's younger brother or cousin.

But now...

His mother, the flirtatious lady, told him that he wasn't actually his cheap daddy's kind, and that his father was someone else.

Viscount Neumann knew that his wife had given him a cuckold, and that his spoiled and spoiled young son was actually raised for others.Will he directly let him inherit the title and inheritance, as well as this fief, because the viscountess is beautiful and charming, and the youngest son has been raised for almost ten years?

Ace sighed, this is impossible.He used to regret that the young master of the Neumann family died without reason, but now he only regrets that he couldn't die like this.

Viscountess Neumann really left him a mess.

The rain was getting heavier, and Ace had no intention of going back to the manor to avoid the rain.He neither liked the atmosphere of the manor, nor did he want the servants of the manor to look at him with pity.

He had experienced this situation once in his previous life.

"Young master. Young master."

It's a pity that there are always people who don't let him be quiet.

The servants of the family came rushing from the manor, "Master Viscount has sent a letter. He knows that the Viscountess is not well, and he is rushing back overnight. He wants to see the Viscountess for the last time. Tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

Ace: "He didn't know his mother was dead?"

Servant: "Master Viscount does not have a magician by his side, so it is impossible to receive the news so quickly. Young master, it is raining too much, please go to the manor to avoid the rain."

Ashamedly thought——

His cheap daddy is finally coming back.He was probably not far from death.
