Skeleton King

Noel Green was surprised and delighted when he first met Ace.

Nou has talking eyes, he said, you are still alive.

It wasn't until the man in black grabbed Nou and handed him over to Ace that Nou said in surprise, "You, you..."

Ace lowered his eyelids, feeling a great deal of guilt at the moment about what he was about to do.Even before meeting Nou, Ace had been telling himself very sensibly that all this was for them to live together, but this feeling of guilt could not be eliminated.

For a moment, Ace was a little out of his wits, and he said to Nuoou, "Lie down on the bed."

Seeing Nou's dull eyes, Ace realized, "Ah... no... lie down on the experiment table..."

Nou stared at Ace dumbfounded, as if looking at a fool, and the man in black robe looked at the two foolish boys, but laughed happily, "Don't you miss him very much? Why don't you give him a hug when we meet?" .” He teased Nou.

Noah ignored him.

The black-robed man said to Ace again: "The Green family boy, it seems that he doesn't want to cooperate with the experiment."

Ace didn't say a word. Suddenly, he clasped Noou's arm with his backhand, swept the bottles and jars on their nearest experiment table to the ground with one hand, and put Noou on the experiment table with the other hand.

Although Nuo Ou is a fourth-level swordsman, he paid all his attention to the man in black robe, and did not expect Ace to attack suddenly.He was really pushed onto the experiment table by Ace.

The black-robed man pointed his finger and directly stopped Nuoou.

Nuo Ou turned his head to look at the man in black robe, "Aren't you going to study Hailan's fighting spirit? So, how can I use fighting spirit?"

The man in black: "You will know soon."

Ace took out two sets of shackles from the corner of the laboratory, handcuffed them to Noou, and fixed him in large letters on the laboratory table.Seeing this scene, the man in black nodded and said, "That's fine."

The man in black withdrew the magic cast on Noou.

Nou tried it, his fingers slightly bent, and he could move again.

Ace took a clean white cotton cloth to wipe the blade, and when he looked up, he saw Nou looking at him.Nuo's eyes were like calm lakes without any fluctuations.

Noah just looked at him quietly.

Ace's heart skipped a beat.

He would rather Nuoou yelled at him, scolded him, scolded him for being a helper, scolded him for being a traitor, and heaped all the things he did and didn't do on him.He also didn't want to look at him like this in Nuoou, as if his heart was ashamed, and he seemed to have expected it.

Ace closed his eyes.

The man in black coughed twice beside him, dissatisfied with Ace's too long pause.Ace opened his eyes. The fluctuations and struggles in his heart before could not be seen from his expression. He rolled up Nou's trouser legs twice.

Ace held a silver knife in his hand, "Innate fighting spirit is different from ordinary fighting spirit. Except for the color, it is the talent attribute of talent fighting spirit. The most famous talent attribute of Hailan fighting spirit of the Green family is long. Green family The best swordsmen also tend to have more durable fighting power. However, Hai Lan's fighting spirit also has an unknown talent attribute..."

Nou froze for a moment.He knows it's Ace explaining his actions, but he doesn't understand what Ace means by that.

Ace cut Noou's calf with a knife, and bright red blood flowed out from the wound.There wasn't much blood flow, and the man in black didn't let Ace injure Noou's artery, lest he bleed too much and die.

Ace didn't dare to look at Nou's expression, but just stared at his wound.

The wound was only red at first, and gradually, light blue light spots appeared around the wound.

The man in black took two steps forward, "Well, the spirituality of fighting spirit is very high, and you can heal the wound by yourself without the control of the kid from the Green family." But soon, he said impatiently: "This speed is faster than the wound." It will only take a day or two for me to grow well. Kid from the Green family, try to stimulate your fighting spirit."

Nuoou's lips turned pale, "I won't."

The man in black gave Ace a sideways look.Ace stuck a silver knife to Nou's wound, and I don't know how he did it. Nou's face turned pale all of a sudden, and big drops of sweat fell from his forehead. He looked in extreme pain, But he just hissed, his whole body trembled like a sieve, and he didn't even cry out in pain.

The man in black saw that Noou had reached his limit, and he was dissatisfied with Ace, "Why are you making such a heavy hand?"

Ace fell silent.

Nuoou's whole body seemed to be fished out of the water, drenched in sweat, his face was as white as paper, "I really can't, my father never said that Hai Lan's fighting spirit talent attribute Healing." He was probably afraid that the man in black would not believe it, and added: "It may be because I was too far away from the fourth-level swordsman at that time, and he didn't tell me."

The man in black looked at Nou carefully for a moment.

The man in black murmured: "Could it be that the method of using Hailan's grudge has been lost?"

The man in black thought for a while, and suddenly, he came back to his senses and took out something from the space ring.

When the man in black took out that thing, the water magic element in the air suddenly became richer.If a magical beast with a full-level affinity for water magic elements is here, the magic crystals in its body will run rapidly.

Originally, the water magic elements in the air were like stars in the sky visible to the naked eye, with only a few sporadic ones, but at this moment, those stars were connected together to form a constellation and an entire sea of ​​stars.Ace didn't need to meditate, but he could feel the abundant water magic elements around him. They were like elves, trying to drill into him mischievously.

Ace froze for a moment, as if he understood something, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his body slightly, and looked to the side.

The black-robed man holds a brown staff in his hand, unlike the undead staff that Ace got in the Skeleton King's tomb, this staff is five or six feet high, standing on the ground and almost as long as the black-robed man .The body of the staff is full of water magic elements, not to mention the gemstone inlaid on the top. The dark blue gemstone with countless facets reflects the colorful brilliance under the shallow light. It is like the sea. Like your heart, let Ace feel close.

"Hailan Staff." Nuo Ou said in a daze, and he also said what Ace was thinking.

This legendary staff that Nou had heard about since he was a child and was sung by countless bards in the Louisiana province just appeared in this low-level magic tower.However, it is not the descendants of its former owner who are in charge of it.

"Actually, I am best at wind magic. Holding him is better than nothing." Although the man in black robe said so, he looked at the gemstone on Hai Lan's staff with a fascinated look, "But I think, you For the current problem, it may help you. For example, awaken your innate fighting spirit. Before Alexander I, people would not only inherit the natural fighting spirit from their ancestors, but also inherit their memories."

The man in black robe: "However, later on, people had a chance to awaken these memories, and the chances of this became less and less in the future, and people even completely lost this talent. It is feasible to use magic to help people retrieve this memory, but Most people in the world are timid and unwilling to try.”

The man in black thought carefully, and said again: "Don't be afraid, at most it will be a little painful, and you can still hold your breath."

Ace stood aside, and the man in black ignored him.

The man in black raised Hai Lan's staff.

Let the people of the Green family awaken the memory of thousands of years ago, and use it could not be better.

"A Nengre is gas, and Ani is Aiqiu..."

The ancient spell was chanted, and this was the first time Ace heard such a long spell, unfortunately under such circumstances.

Noou's eyes were slightly closed, and his eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly.No matter what he will face, he can bear it.

Ace put his hands behind his back, his right hand touching the space wrist of his left hand.When magicians are chanting spells, they are at their most vulnerable. Here, at this moment, no one can protect the man in black.

Ace held his right hand, and he took a step back, about to distance himself from the man in black.

At this critical moment.

"Crack" sound.

Suddenly, Ace's expression froze, and Nou opened his eyes. The expression of the black-robed man who had been in control all along was cracked.The three of them saw at the same time that there was a crack in the unparalleled sapphire on Hai Lan's staff.

A crack that is somewhat subtle but cannot be ignored at all.

The water-type and wind-type magic elements wrapped on the sapphire became chaotic in an instant, and they went on a rampage, dispelling the curse.

The perfect mask on the face of the man in black shattered into pieces, his brown eyes were bloodshot, "How dare you play me."

The man in black looked to the north, the direction of the Green family's fief, "How dare you play tricks on a great eighth-level magician." They dared to give him a staff that had begun to break down, no matter what they used to make up for it afterwards, Nothing could appease his anger.

No, he had to make them pay.The man in black thought, his temper has been too good all these years.

And some people, their memory is really bad.

The man in black was furious and unbelievable. He didn't even care about Ace and Nou, and left the laboratory directly.

"Boom—" This was the sound of the gate on the third floor of the magic tower being closed.

in the laboratory.

Ace said to himself, "He must have gone to someone to settle the score."

Nou:?

These days, not only the man in black is observing Ace and Nou, but Ace is also doing his best to observe the man in black.Most of the time, the man in black is crazy but rational, but if anyone dares to play him as a fool, he will definitely be killed.

It is impossible for the man in black to repair Hai Lan's staff, nor is it possible to go to the meditation room to practice, and besides these on the third floor, there is...

And the magic mirror.

Ace thought, if the man in black was going to contact someone from the Green family, how much time would he give them with the magic mirror?

Suddenly, Ace walked to the laboratory table where Nou was lying, and he undid the shackles that bound Nou's hands.

Nou sat up halfway, looking at Ace suspiciously.

"It's too late to explain." Ace half-dragged Nou and pulled him up. He took Nou's hand and took him directly to the first floor of the magic tower, not in the direction of the secret room where they usually lived, but on the other side. A small window.

Ace opens the window and tries to push Nooh out.

Ace felt the resistance from Nou.

Ace hurriedly said: "Nuoou, I know you don't believe me, but there is no other way now, you try it, this place must still be in Georgia Province, as long as you can contact the Georgia Knights, you will be safe. "

Nuo Ou: "I have never disbelieved you. Otherwise, you would have thought, how could you bring me here." At any rate, he is a fourth-level swordsman, and the black-robed man did not seal him.

There was a blue light flashing on Nuo's foot with the trousers rolled up, and the wound on his foot was already healed.

Ace: "You..."

It turns out that Nuoou has always used Hai Lan's grudge.

"You told me, believe you. I remember. No matter what choice you make, I can accept it." Nou climbed up the window, and he stretched out a hand to Ace, "Let's escape together."

Ace's heart seemed to be pulled, his eyes were a little hot, he thought, his previous efforts were not in vain.

but.

"We can't go together." Ace said: "We are together, no one can go away. The man in black is sitting in the magic tower. If no one restrains him, he will find us soon."

Nuo Ou begged: "What can you do if you stay here. Try it and leave alive together."

Ace said gently but sternly: "Nuoou, you understand in your heart, we can't leave together. Don't waste time."

……

Ace stands by the window of the Magic Tower.

He watched the back of a teenager limping away.Look, his partner, always makes the right decisions.

He was very happy.real.

Noou, you must live well.
