Skeleton King

The gift of the Skeleton King is reserved for those who learn undead magic, which is probably why the people on the magic island in "Sword and Magic" did not find it.And this is definitely beyond Ace's imagination.

Ace said: "Since this is the tomb of the Skeleton King, is his tombstone here? I want to worship him." You have to say thank you for the inheritance and gifts of others.

Daniel: "Skeletor doesn't have a tombstone."

Ace:? ? ?

Ace: "Did he be killed?" That's why he died without a place to bury him.

Daniel: "No, he doesn't need these. The tombstone and the like are just places where the living commemorate the undead. The Skeleton King really sleeps forever, instead of going to the dead world. He has no relatives or friends in this world. Why do you need a place to bury your bones?"

Many magicians are indeed unmarried all their lives. Exploring the profound meaning of magic makes them more intoxicated and fascinated than love between men and women.Ace understands that the Skeleton King has lived for too long, all his relatives and friends have passed away, and he has no children, but how can the necromancer really sleep forever?Death in this world is just a new beginning for them.

Ace thought so, so he asked, "But how did the Skeleton King die?" Unless the fire of the soul is extinguished by the enemy, the necromancer is immortal.

Daniel was silent for a while, and said: "He has lived too long. For him, death is the best long sleep."

Ace didn't quite understand.

Daniel seems to be saying to Ace, and it seems to be saying to himself, "You don't understand, and I hope you never understand."

They walked back to the place where Bang was, and Daniel said, "You can go now."

"Wait!" Ace said under Daniel's puzzled eyes, "Carl Caesar, the only son of the president of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, is he still alive?"

Daniel: "Ah, Master Caesar? He's still alive."

Ace: "How did he get in here?"

Daniel: "Master Caesar thought that there was a rare treasure in the village of Nederland, so he came to see it excitedly. The young master was so excited that the clam shell cut his finger. He accidentally completed a sacrifice and opened the Netherland village. The passage between Delan Village and the Skeleton King's Tomb. He didn't know how to enter the Skeleton King's Tomb, so he gave us a chance to go out. Too many undead have been trapped here since they died. They miss their loved ones and go out took a look."

"I think his soul fire is very solid, but his strength is weak, so I will take him down for a visit." Daniel said.

Ace is not interested in asking Daniel what happened to Carl Kaiser, nor does he want to discuss the three views with a dead person.Ace said, "Let's take Carl Kaiser out."

Daniel said: "Even if you take Master Caesar out, he might not survive."

"Caesar Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Magic Continent. Their president will restore his only son to his original state. Even if he dies, it should not be up to you to decide." Ace said.

Daniel had no choice, he snapped his fingers, and a boy of twelve or thirteen floated in front of them. The boy's brows could not hide his childishness, but his black hair was mixed with a lot of white hair.

Daniel said to Ace: "In the magic book I gave you just now..." In the Skeleton King's library, several magic books that Daniel recommended to Ace are now contained in Ace's space bracelet.

"...There is a kind of master-servant contract in it, you can sign it with him." Daniel said.

Ace: "Why?"

Daniel said coolly: "Who knows that Master Caesar will come out alive one day. I have never restricted his actions. You may have been met by him when you were walking around in the passage before. People in the world are so prejudiced against necromancers. Before you are completely strong, it is best not to let people know your identity. Those things on you are not what you can have now."

Ace stared at Carl Caesar for a moment, "He's still a child. The master-servant contract can't be broken until death. It's worse than making someone a slave. I hope I'll never use it."

"He will not let you go just because you are a child." Daniel said coolly, "This is a correct and kind decision, but this decision may bring you a cruel consequence."

Ace: "After entering the tomb, I carefully observed the surroundings. He is so weak, it is unlikely that I will not find him. We don't need to send him back to the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, just put him on the rocky beach."

Ace carried Carl Kaiser to the edge of the clam, first pushed Carl Kaiser into the clam, and then climbed in by himself.Fortunately, both of them are half-grown teenagers, and a clam can just hold them.

"Yesufa and Mitte Bump Pestle Abaite..."

Ace recited the spell twice before he managed to get it right. As the clam shook violently, Ace felt a familiar spin, and he knew he was back again.When Ace and Carl Kaiser were still in the clam, they heard the sound of "crashing and crashing" the waves.

Ace opened the clam, the first thing he saw was the endless sea, and the rising sun hidden in the depths of the sea, it first dyed the sky orange, and then rose slowly until it jumped out of the sea , sending a dazzling red light to the world.

Ace: "This is the first time I've watched the sunrise by the sea."

Daniel didn't take it seriously, "I've seen this sunrise since I was a child, and I thought I would watch it until I die of old age."

Ace comforted clumsily: "You will always 'live' and live the same life as the dead world."

Daniel seemed to be comforted a little bit, and he said to Ace: "When the matter here is resolved, and the gate of the dead world is opened again, I will go there to have a look. It is also vast. When I was alive, I spent most of my time in this village, and I always want to see more places after I die.”

Ace smiled, "Good idea."

Ace tugged at his clothes, probably because of the heavy moisture on the beach, his chest was wet a lot.

Ace dragged Carl Caesar out of the clam and put him in a more conspicuous position on the rocky beach. He thought that the guards from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce would find him soon.If the guards of the Neumann family or the knights under the Governor of Westphalia were lucky enough to find Master Kaiser first, they would probably get the same weight of gold as Karl Kaiser as a gift.

Daniel felt it at the beach, and said to Ace: "Come with me, I know where Stephanie is."

Ace thought that Daniel would take him to the home with Stephanie, but unexpectedly, Daniel took him to the tavern.That's right, it was the tavern owned by Thomas, where Ace and the guards of the Neumann family stayed.

The sky was slightly bright, and the guards of the Neumann family were practicing swords in front of the tavern. Just kidding, this is one of the few opportunities in a year to perform in front of Viscount Neumann.If they are found to be extraordinary by the Viscount, they may be promoted to be personal guards.However, if Ace is unlucky and doesn't come back alive, those who wait for these guards will probably be permanently assigned.

Daniel led Ace into the tavern from the wine cellar, he floated up the stairs familiarly, and passed through the wooden door of the attic.

Ace: ...

Ace knocked lightly on the wooden door twice, and after waiting for a while, a woman with long brown hair and a pretty face came out to open the door. Her long hair was braided into scorpion braids and hung on her chest, and she was wearing a very A baggy dress, but still can't quite hide her swollen belly.She looked at Ace carefully, looking a little wary.

Ace: "Hi, I'm Ace Neumann, Daniel's friend."

The vigilance in the woman's eyes disappeared immediately, and she said, "I'm Stephanie, and it belongs to Daniel..." She suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Daniel who was floating in the corner of the attic.

Daniel said to Ace: "We talked, my wife Stephanie."

Stephanie smiled sweetly.She was a little haggard, but this smile was full of satisfaction.

Ace smiled at her too, and then his eyes couldn't help but look to Stephanie's stomach.

Stephanie felt Ace's gaze, and subconsciously retracted her lower abdomen, but the effect was not great, her stomach became more obvious instead.Stephanie seemed to remember something, she turned around suddenly, and grabbed Daniel's hand.

Ace's pupils shrank, and he really saw that Stephanie could touch Daniel, which is something that ordinary necromancers can't do!

Stephanie said excitedly: "Danny, I'm pregnant and I have our baby! It's been a regret of our marriage for many years, and now I can finally make it up!"

Her face was radiant, with tears in her eyes, and no one could remain unmoved seeing her like this.

Daniel's hand caressed her hair, his eyes were gentle, "I know, Stephanie, I know."

Stephanie felt a little strange, “Danny, aren’t you happy?”

"I'm very happy..." Daniel suddenly stopped speaking halfway through.

Stephanie panicked. It was unbelievable, but, "Danny, this is really me and your baby. I've never had anyone else's but you." She took Daniel's hand and wanted him to touch it. her stomach.

Daniel withdrew his hand suddenly, and he said in pain, "I know, but it's a ghost."

Stephanie looked horrified, and she cried out in despair: "No!"

Daniel tried to reassure her but failed, Stephanie kept backing away!

Daniel's eyes were unprecedentedly sad, but he still said, "Ace."

When Ace took the wand of death out of the bracelet, Stephanie covered her stomach, pale and shook her head. Ace felt like an executioner, a cruel mother who wanted to kill her child in front of her. the executioner.

Although Daniel had practiced this magic several times with Ace, he couldn't do it.

He really can't do it.

Ace yelled, "Daniel!" They had to make it clear to Stephanie that this ghost baby was not to be kept.

Daniel is persuading Stephanie, "He is still an unformed placenta, he will not feel pain. We can't keep him, he will not only kill you, but also bring disaster to the entire empire." The ghost baby is unknown His growth requires a large number of living souls, but the fighting power of the ghost baby is very weak in the early stage, and it cannot hunt and kill so many souls by itself.

Logically speaking, most ghost babies would starve to death and die young.But almost all ghost babies survived to adulthood. No matter how peaceful the place it lives in and how happy the people are, the local people will be actively or passively involved in the war.The large number of souls that appear in wars are the best food for ghost babies.

Therefore, the birth of a ghost baby means that the world is in chaos and people are in dire straits.

But those who know all this but insist on giving birth to a ghost baby will suffer an eternal curse. No matter whether she is alive or dead, her soul will be shackled and trapped in endless darkness forever.

Stephanie curled up in the corner, crying: "He has feelings, he has formed, I can feel him kicking me!"

After Stephanie finished speaking, Daniel seemed to have been punched in the front by Stephanie, and his head turned to the side.

Stephanie cried and begged, "Danny, please, please, I beg you..."
