Skeleton King

In the secret room, except for the sound of fine sand falling at the bottom of the hourglass, it was as quiet as a cemetery.

If Ace could not hear Noah Green's shallow breathing, he would feel that he would go crazy in such silence.I don't know how Noah Green survived every day when Ace was not around.

Ace could feel that the magic power in his body was growing exponentially, and Noel Green's strength was also visibly improving, but there was not much time left for them.The people in black robes are like an insurmountable mountain. Their rapidly increasing strength is like a tree being shaken by a mayfly against the people in black robes.

After a while, the air circulation in the secret room changed slightly.

Ace said suddenly: "Nou!"

Noel Green broke out of a mysterious state.His sea-blue eyes stared at Ace in disapproval. What a great opportunity, he was almost able to show his grudges and become a fourth-level swordsman.

Ace waved his hand and asked Noel Green to sit beside him.

Noel Green raised his eyebrows. Even after his father passed away, he lived in Green Castle, and dozens of maids took care of his life every day. At the ball held in the castle, the nobles of the Louisiana province saw He is also very respectful.Compared with before, no one dared to wave his hand to let him pass.

But this person is Ace.

Noel Green felt that Ace would not be aimless.

Noel Green walked to Ace's side, and they leaned shoulder to shoulder. He turned his head and saw a pair of emerald eyes, deep, charming, and indestructible.Those eyes only stared at him quietly for a moment, then turned to the floor of the secret room.

Noah Green didn't quite understand what Ace meant.

Ace rested his head on Nou Green's shoulder, "Take a break, don't worry, you can break through to the fourth-level swordsman within the time limit."

Noel Green thought he was not in a hurry, and if Ace hadn't interrupted him just now, he would have already broken through.But why doesn't Ace let him break through now?

He was in a good state just now, and Ace would not fail to understand.

Within the time limit, which time limit is it, 10 days or 15 days?

After only a short while, Ace fell asleep, and it was difficult for Noah Green to wake him up.It is not an easy task for them to have a good sleep in this magic tower.

Noel Green stared at the black hair on Ace's forehead for a while, then looked away again.He looked back, forth, left, and right in the secret room. If he stayed here any longer, he would even know how many cracks there were on any stone brick.

Suddenly, Noel Green's gaze stopped, and he looked at the place where Ace was looking before. There were white light marks on the stone brick with fingernails, one, two, three...

There are fifteen in total.

Four of them were scratched vertically.

This is……

Noel Green's eyelashes drooped slightly. This was the number of days the black-robed man asked him to practice martial arts, and it was also the number of days the black-robed man took Ace away.Did Ace want him to wait for all the vertical bars to be filled before leaving the secret room?

But the man in black said that if he didn't break through within 10 days, Ace would be killed, so what should he do?

However, Ace always has a way.

The next day, when Ace left the secret room, he mouthed Noah Green: Trust me.

Even if you go through the thorns and thorns, it is better to have someone by your side than to be alone in the wilderness, looking around at a loss, but alone and helpless.Noel Green looked at the door of the secret room for a while, then closed his eyes quietly, and began to practice the swordsman's mind.

He must maintain the best condition before he can break through the fourth level at any time.

The days in the magic tower were very regular, and before I knew it, there were already ten vertical bars on the floor tiles.I don't know whether it is day or night. After the hourglass was reversed that day, Ace did not come back.

Noel Green stared at the man in black robe who came as usual: "Where's Ace?"

The man in black threw the food to Nou Green, but smiled and said nothing.

Noel Green asked again sharply: "Where's Ace?!"

"Green, do you still think you are in the eastern plains of Louisiana? In fact, regardless of your identity, you are just a kid with a little talent in martial arts." The black-robed man pointed to the hourglass, and said: "If five days , you can’t break through the fourth-level swordsman, you can go where Ace Neumann went.”

If you break through to level four swordsman within 5 days, you can also see him, the man in black added silently in his heart.

Noel Green gritted his teeth and watched the man in black close the door and disappear into the corridor.

The man in black walked through the corridors and steps, and went up to the second floor of the magic tower. He stood at the door of the laboratory and watched Ace mix a potion with Yanghuo.Under the dim light, the scars on Ace's face made him look terrible, but in the reflection of the orange magic potion jumping in his hand, the few red bloodstains added a different look to him. beauty.

There is no magic ball in this magic tower, and the man in black didn't intend to test Ace's magic talent at first, let alone take Ace away and accept him as a magic apprentice.

In the long history of the Pansy Empire, the Green Knights were invincible. Even if there were wizards in the hostile knights, the Green Knights were not afraid.Although with the death of the old Duke Green, the reputation of the Green Legion is not as good as before, but the arrest warrants issued by them are not to be underestimated by mages and sword masters.

A large part of the reason why the man in black dared to take action against Noah Green was that the Green family was not monolithic.A few years later, who knows who is in charge of the Green Knights.

However, Noah Green's uncle is not a great talent, and he may overturn in the struggle for power.At that time, in order to let Nou Green's uncle keep the secret in his stomach, the man in black will have to take action to deal with him.The man in black silently added in his heart, if that man didn't look very smart, how could he cooperate with him.

Now that the man in black keeps Ace, there will be one more variable.

However, in the past few days, the man in black has been using Ace more and more smoothly.

Every day, when the man in black came to the laboratory, the laboratory was neat and tidy. The knives, utensils, and even the bottles containing the sun fire were wiped clean.Although the black-robed people never cared about this, nor did they have this habit, because using magic to clean up some experimental equipment that requires high precision would increase the error of these experimental equipment.At the same time, the man in black also hated the magic apprentice touching his experimental equipment, because they were always misplaced.

During the experiment, the man in black robe could easily make mistakes if he couldn't find tools in a convenient place.If the experiment failed, he would take the anger out on his magic apprentice even more.

Yes, the man in black is very moody.

Just like the man in black imprisoned Ace and Nou Green, watching them struggling between life and death, watching Ace become agitated and violent because Nou Green could not break through and he might die, as if the world owed him .Destroy all good things and restore the essence of this world.

The man in black only felt that the wound in his heart had been filled.It's cool.

The world is inherently dark.The dead world is no different from the living world.

But Ace was different. Noel Green's progress in practicing martial arts was slow, and he could still make the purification potion calmly without adding any ingredients to it.When he returned to the secret room, he could still chat with Noah Green calmly.Even Noah Green didn't know what his companions had done to protect him.

The man in black doesn't believe there is a friendship between Ace and Noel Green.A great nobleman who ranks high in the Pansy Empire and a small nobleman from a remote village, what kind of friendship can they have, and the latter can be happy enough for the former as a follower.

The man in black thinks that it's just that Ace has a deep mind and can control his emotions.

The people in the black robe admired him. At Ace's age, he couldn't control his emotions like Ace.In the face of death, how many people can be so indifferent and make the right choice.People either destroy or appreciate the qualities they don't have.

The brown hair of the man in black is fluffy and curly, his eyes are a little round, and his chin is short, which always makes people think that he is young.At this moment, there was a smirk on the corner of his mouth, and many people would only think that he was playing a prank, not that there were some evil and crazy plans in his head.

The man in black not only appreciates Ace's heart, but also likes Ace's quietness and intelligence. Ace can always figure out what the man in black means to put a certain magic item in a certain position, and after wiping it, he will put it as it is .Not only the position, but also the angle of his silver knife, Ace also got it right.

As an assistant in the laboratory, if Ace can score full marks, his talent in making magic potions will exceed the expectations of the man in black.The people in the black robe expected that Ace's affinity for magic elements is not low, even if he throws Ace on the magic island, whether such a young man is purely as an assistant or inherits the mantle, he can make the old monsters on the magic island fight .

Killing Ace would be too reckless.

The eyelashes of the man in black drooped slightly, leaving a shadow on his eyelids.

It's okay to have a smart person by his side, but if he used coercive means to kill his friend before... the man in black doesn't dislike himself for living too long.

Don't look at the present, the man in black doesn't take Ace and Noel Green seriously. He never relaxes his vigilance when facing real threatening enemies.The man in black believes that Ace will go a long way on the road of magic.

Now, Ace doesn't know where the man in black is thinking about him.

According to the requirements of the man in black, Ace made several bottles of first-class healing potions, and he carefully inserted the bottles containing the healing potions into the wooden stand.The light yellow potion flowing in the transparent bottle is very beautiful, but the silent light yellow color is nothing compared to the beating orange sun fire, which is full of infinite vitality and represents infinite possibilities.

There are also some special flames in Pansy Empire.In order to use these flames as much as possible, magicians will use special means to divide them into several fires for storage.

Ace "accidentally" sprinkled some Longlin powder on Yanghuo once, but Yanghuo...

The movement of Yanghuo is no better than the wind blowing.

This frustrates Ace.

Ace originally wanted to use Longlin powder to distribute some fire seeds, but this method is suitable for most fire seeds.If he could quietly obtain the Yanghuo and put it into the Space Bracer, he might be able to research some mysteries.The last time, when he had to, Ace could also fuse Yanghuo and Yinhuo, leading the man in black to die together.

When they arrived in the Dead Realm, the positions of Ace and the man in black were reversed.Unfortunately, these are all Ace's fantasies.

When Ace was anxious, the flow of sand in the hourglass did not stop at all.Soon, fifteen days passed, and Nou Green broke through to the fourth-level swordsman.

On that day, the lights in the magic tower were bright, and the man in black grabbed Noah Green's hand and handed him to Ace.

The man in black: "I handed him over to you, you have to take good care of him."
