Skeleton King

failure.

failure.

failure.

……

Ace doesn't know how many times he made the purification potion, he just knows that he keeps failing, failing, failing...

If someone else stood here, he would definitely want to quit.However, Ace, regardless of past and present lives, he has no right to be willful, he can only keep trying, trying, and trying again.And what's weird is that the man in black has never urged Ace, but just watched Ace make mistakes, and didn't even point out his mistakes. When he failed, he would help him fix the cauldron.

The man in black was making the purification potion on his own, as if he didn't know how many times Ace had damaged the crucible and how many herbs were wasted.

Sweat slid from Ace's forehead to his cheeks and dripped onto his collar until it soaked a small patch of his collar.All mistakes made once, Ace will not make a second time. Where the gestures are wrong, he must pay more attention to the movements of the man in black.

until the last step.

Ace placed the cauldron on top of the sunfire.

The crucible can't be too close to the sun fire, because the sun fire will melt the crucible, and it can't be placed too far away, so that the medicine in the crucible can't be heated evenly.

"Drink!" Ace saw that the potion was light blue, and small bubbles rolled out of the surface of the liquid. He shouted and took the potion back.

But because Ace took it too quickly, a little bit of the potion spilled out of the cauldron and dripped onto Ace's hand.

Ace let out a "hiss", and quickly bit the flesh in his lips with his teeth, even if he tasted a little blood, he didn't want to scream.He abhors showing himself embarrassed in front of his enemies.

The man in black took out a glass rod and stirred it in Ace's purification potion, "It's ok."

Ace's head was covered with sweat, some from the pain he had spent too much effort on just now, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Why is the purification potion you made white, while mine is blue?"

The man in black said lightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as it can be used."

The man in black didn't want to say anything, and Ace didn't ask any more.He tried to hold the cauldron as steady as possible, and poured the purification potion he had just made into the small bottle.

The man in black: "Simple magic potions also require magic apprentices to make. I can test you with a magic ball. You may have the talent to become a magician."

Although Ace made the first bottle of magic potion in his life, he was not happy at all, and was a little irritable instead.

However, there was no way, Ace and the man in black walked back to the secret room where he and Noel Green were imprisoned just now.

After opening the door of the secret room, Ace saw Noah Green sitting in the innermost part of the secret room. When he raised his head, his face was extremely pale.Of course, Ace wasn't much better either, his footsteps were sloppy, and both hands were scalded with blisters.

Ace hid a badly hot hand behind his back.This is so embarrassing.

The man in black motioned Ace to give Noel Green the purification potion he made.

The man in black: "This kid is quite talented, and he made the purification potion in less than a day, which surprised even me. You can choose for yourself."

A blue bottle and a white bottle of purification potion appeared in front of Nou Green.

Ace bit his pale lips, and said: "I watched him make that bottle of white purification potion. I think there is no problem, but I can't guarantee it 100%. I made the blue purification potion. I feel I made a mistake when making the potion, but after thinking about it several times, I couldn't figure out what was wrong."

Ace lowered his head in frustration, "I suggest you drink what he made." Ace was really going crazy, he made a potion on the first day, and he wanted to drink it for his partner.If Noel Green died in front of him, he might have a nightmare for the rest of his life.

"Or, you can practice hard and not rely on potions to advance to the fourth-level swordsman." Ace hoped that there could be other ways.

Hearing what Ace said, the man in black looked at Nou Green: "I'll wait for you for 15 days at most. After 10 days, if you don't break through, I'll kill this kid first." He pointed at Ace, and said: "After 15 days, you will die." He pointed to Noah Green again.

That pale, thin, hideous finger.

In Ace's eyes, the index finger kept dangling, which really made people want to chop it off.

The man in black: "You can figure it out yourself. Can you break through level four in 15 days without using potions?"

A 1-foot-high hourglass appeared out of nowhere in the hands of the man in black. He said, "It takes half a day for the hourglass to finish. When it turns 30 times, only the necromancer will know your value."

After the man in black finished speaking, he closed the door of the secret room again.

There are many white fine sands in this hourglass, and these fine sands have their own brilliance, which slightly illuminates this secret room.Ace told Noah Green about what happened in the laboratory before, not only emphatically emphasizing that this is his first successful bottle of purification potion, but also hanging his head to Noah Green's ear, and said softly and quickly: "This may be a magic tower."

Noel Green looked at Ace in surprise.

Ace drew a hexagon on Noel Green's palm.

In the Pansy Empire, the hexagonal buildings are generally magic towers, which are very typical magic towers for low-level magicians.Ace and Noel Green looked at each other, and they both understood what the other was thinking. The man in black might have "borrowed" the magic tower of a magician near Saxon Mountain.

For a magician, there are two most important magic props, namely staff and magic tower.The staff can increase the power of the magician's spells against the enemy, and the magic tower can increase the speed of the magician's meditation.

Many magicians spend 90.00% of their life in his magic tower.The magic tower not only has his meditation room, laboratory, but also the place where his magic apprentices live.The height of the magic tower corresponds to the level of the magician. The third-level magician uses a three-story magic tower, the sixth-level magician uses a six-story magic tower, and the general magic tower has a maximum of nine floors.

However, on the magic island, there are ten-level magic towers that exceed this number, which can only be owned by wizards.

Around Alexander I of the Pansy Empire, it is said that there was also a holy magister, which was an existence beyond the magician.Because of this, the legend of the eleventh-level magic tower has been circulating in the imperial capital.

The magic tower not only has to follow the magician for a lifetime, but the strength of the magician will increase exponentially in his own magic tower.Therefore, it is almost impossible for a high-level magician to live in a low-level magic tower, unless that low-level magic tower belongs to his disciple, or he occupies it.

It's a pity that Ace and Noel Green guessed where they were and knew that they were not far from the Saxon Mountains, but it didn't help their current situation.

Noel Green looked at the hourglass in the secret room for a while, and took the blue purification potion from Ace's hand.

Ace held Noah Green's wrist. Although the bottle of potion smelled fine, he really didn't have confidence.

Noel Green: "In 10 days, no, 15 days, we'll all be dead. I still want to go back alive to the Eastern Plains of Louisiana, which is my home. I don't want to give up without even trying. I'm still don't want to die."

Ace muttered, wanting to tell Noah Green that he was a necromancer, but worried that the walls had ears and the man in black would spy on them secretly.What's more, Ace is only a low-level necromancer now. If the black-robed man has any way to deal with the necromancer, they will die even if they want to die.

Nor would Noel Green necessarily believe him.

Ace thought for a moment, but kept his mouth shut.

Noel Green opened the bottle of magic potion, his lips aligned with the mouth of the bottle, "Neumann, can I trust you?"

Ace didn't react for a moment, "What?"

Noel Green: "You made this bottle of magic potion, you are not his."

Ace: "No. But I can only be sure that it's a potion. I don't even know if it's a magic potion..."

Noel Green: "That's not important."

Ace: ...

Ace wondered in his heart, who is the man in black.Noel Green's words are the same as that of the man in black. He doesn't know whether it is poisonous or not after drinking the imported potion that activates the swordsman's mind. How can it be unimportant.

Noel Green drank all the potion in one go, then closed his eyes and began to practice the swordsman's mind.

At first, Noah Green's breathing was very ordinary.

Ace watched for a while, and gradually felt relieved.Ace still had time to use the fighting energy in his body to heal the wound on his hand. Although his fighting energy was still very scarce and couldn't heal the wound, it could relieve the pain to some extent.

Just when Ace was about to let go, Noah Green moaned suddenly, and his whole body trembled violently.

Ace didn't care about the fighting spirit in his body, he stared at Nou Green nervously.

"Ah... ah... ah..." Intermittent groans came from Noah Green's mouth.

Ace knelt on the ground, "Green, Green, what's wrong with you?" He wanted to scream, but he didn't dare to scream loudly, for fear of disturbing Noah Green and making his situation worse.

Although Noel Green's posture didn't change, streaks of blue air appeared on his face.

Although Ace himself has never taken the purification potion, he saw Alt take it in Bad Soden, which is definitely not the case.

Ace knew that there should be a problem with the potion he made.But now, Noel Green has taken the purification potion he made, and he is helpless at this time.

As time passed by every minute and every second, fine sand kept flowing down the hourglass, with a shallow, soft brilliance.

Noel Green could no longer maintain the posture of cultivation, he fell half to the ground, Ace let his head rest on his lap, and kept reassuring him, "Green, you will be fine. You have to go back to Louis In the Eastern Plains of Anna Province, you are the future Duke of the Pansy Empire, and your wonderful life has just begun."

"There must be someone waiting for you in your family, your teacher, your vassals, and your people. You can't fall here." Ace couldn't go on, he didn't even know if Noah Green was still around Relatives, relatives who really care about him and can protect him from wind and rain.

Ace had to keep calling Nou Green's name to keep him from falling asleep, "Green, Green, Green, Green, Nou Green, Nou Green..."

Noah Green's hand grabbed Ace's hand, as if trying to gain strength from it.

Ace held Nou Green's hand tightly, and shouted his name: "Nou Green, Nou Green..."

This is just a 12-year-old boy, why did he endure such pain, and what did he do wrong.

"Nou, Nou, Nou..." Later, Ace discovered that when he called Nou, Nou Green reacted more, and when he called Green, Nou Green basically didn't respond.

Ace stopped calling Noel Green by his last name, and only called him by his first name.

Under the shallow light of the hourglass, Ace saw Noah Green's lips moving, he bent down and put his ear close to Noah Green's lips.

He heard the noble boy say: "...Father."

Ace felt that his eyes were a little wet. Their beloved relatives were no longer in this world. He was about this age in his previous life. No matter what he did, he could only rely on himself.

"Nou, Nou..."

In the dark secret room, only the boy's voice continued to echo until the other person's breathing became steady and regular, and Ace didn't stop calling his name, "Nou, Nou..." O'Green might want to give himself a little power.

After the time of an hourglass ran out, Ace felt that the head of the noble young master who fell asleep before, the head that had been pressed on his lap all night, moved twice again

Noah Green felt that he was sleeping on something warm, as if he had returned to the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. However, there was no beautiful maid waiting for him to get up, and there was no warm sunlight shining into the room. All he could see was the face of a young boy with a vague and delicate outline.

Noel Green said in a daze, "Oh, it's you."

Ace only felt that his thigh was so numb that he couldn't feel it. He said angrily, "Disappointed?"

Noah Green sat up and said bluntly, "A little bit."

Hearing Noah Green's voice, Ace didn't seem to be in trouble. He tried his best to hide his guilt and said, "How is it?"

Noel Green: "The purification potion you made is useful." He tried to run a swordsman's mind, and said: "It seems that there are no side effects."

The pain is so painful that you worry all night that you will be gone in a second, which is not called a side effect.Ace complained silently in his heart.

But Ace was at fault, and he was too embarrassed to say it.

After Noah Green woke up, he sat in the secret room and practiced silently, while Ace took a nap against the wall for a while.

When the man in black opened the door of the secret room again, he saw such a scene.

As usual, the man in black threw two pieces of bread and a bag of water to Ace and Noel Green, and after they finished eating, he wanted to take Ace out again.

Noah Green called out the man in black uncharacteristically, "I want to advance, I must practice martial arts. I need a long sword."

The man in black pretended not to hear, and wanted to close the door of the secret room again.

Noah Green: "Why, are you afraid that I will kill you?"

The man in black said casually: "No, I'm afraid that if you kill this kid, you will kill yourself."

But he still threw a wooden sword to Noah Green, "You can use this."
