Skeleton King

In addition to the alchemy items made by Ms. Angela, the finale of the auction in the city that never sleeps also includes a round-trip pass to the city that never sleeps.The former, if rare, is no more attractive to Aachen than a pass to the Twin Cities.

How many people can go to the dead world while they are alive?

Louis Finger originally wanted to warn Prince Aachen on the grounds that the safety of Prince Aachen could not be guaranteed in Evernight City, and hoped that Prince Aachen would not take risks easily.The Prince of Aachen said: "He was a prince and general before he was alive, but he is not a subject of the Skeleton King after death."

In this regard, Louis Finger also speechless.

Even in the city that never sleeps, with the number of liches here, if the Skeleton King really wanted to attack Prince Aachen, he would not even be [-]% sure of protecting His Highness.Thinking about it this way, there is no difference between the Evernight City and the Nightless City.

The prince of Aachen and Louis Finger immediately took the pass for the Twin Cities, and came to the home auction in the center of Evernight City.Eternal Night City and Nightless City are like two mirrored cities. They have very different styles, but they are very similar in key points.

Originally, Aachen thought that the auction in the city that never sleeps was gorgeous enough, until he came to the corresponding palace in the city that never sleeps.

In the banquet hall, the embroidered carpets of the Eiffel province of the Finger Empire, and the gem-studded utensils of the Pansy Empire’s Westphalia Province, if these are still luxuries that can be enjoyed by secular kings, then the dome of the banquet hall is beautiful. Huan Huan's murals, the huge oil paintings on the corridors, even in the Pansy Palace, there are very few such treasures.

Aachen was born in the royal family, and has a very high level of art appreciation. After only a few breaths, he is sure that these works of art are of great value.

But in this palace, the number of these works that are rare in the world can fill more than a dozen endless corridors.

Aachen was dumbfounded at what he saw.If this was the mansion of the Skeleton King, he might not feel so incredible, but the maid in the banquet hall told him that there are several times such a standardized palace in Evernight City, and the mansion of the Skeleton King is far from here Comparable.

Louis Finger naturally understood the reason for Prince Aachen's gaffe.Even though he was not of an orthodox origin in the Finger family, he was raised by Prince George Finger himself, and he has a very high level of art appreciation.

"There are rumors that some artists were impoverished and their talents were unappreciated. After their death, they will be respected in the world of the dead and have inexhaustible wealth." Louis Finger was as shocked as Prince Achen , he was also dazzled by these collections, and said: "It seems that those rumors are not groundless."

In the world of the dead, undead come from the present world all the time, and then completely dissipate.It's like an ordinary flower on the side of the road in this world withering, not attracting anyone's attention.

But very occasionally, some special undead will appear in the territory of the Liches.Most of them are born with powerful souls, especially suitable for practicing undead magic, and have the potential to become excellent subordinates.

There are also a small number of undead who are special because they have extremely high attainments in art or other aspects, which lead to changes in the fire of the soul.Such an undead is rare in a hundred years, and it is also very precious.

Unlike the present world, undead creatures with dark attributes are cruel and bloodthirsty, irrational.On the contrary, because of their extremely long lives, the high-level undead are not only knowledgeable, but most of them are also proficient in certain types of musical instruments or fine arts.They also respect those undead creatures with low strength but extraordinary talents.

No matter which city you go to, these masters will be the most honored guests.

In their endless lives, they have always been able to create some extraordinary works, which have been accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years, and these long corridors are hung.Furthermore, Eternal Night City is now the center of the dead world, and 90% of the treasures of the whole dead world are gathered here.

Tonight, this palace also has a special mission.

It is the place where Miss Angela, the greatest alchemist in the Twin Cities, and General Arnold, the head of the Knights of Eternal Night, hold their wedding ceremony—the most prosperous place in the dead world, where human wisdom gathers.

The murals on the dome of the palace are enchanted, the blue sky washed by water, the cotton-like soft white clouds drifting slowly, like a dream, like a dream.The knight waiting at the end was magnificent, and the necromancer wearing a white gauze dress was so beautiful that Louis Finger also had to sigh, "It's really a pair of people."

Aachen didn't notice the newcomer at all.

Since the bride walked on the flower path, his sight has been firmly attracted by the young man supporting the bride.

The identity of the young man is probably a lich, a necromancer or something like that, because he has a very strong dark magic element.He must also have a very close relationship with the bride, otherwise he would not walk the flowery road with her on his arm.

But why does this strange young man have a pansy mark between his brows?

As we all know, only members of the Keoser family will have a pansy mark, but there is no information in the palace that anyone in the Keoser family practiced undead magic or became a lich?

Who is this young man?

……

Ace didn't expect that there was good news just after they came back from the small plane-Arnold told him that he proposed to Angela, and Angela agreed.

Arnold wanted Ace to be their witness because he meant so much to both of them.

But in the end, the Lich Ingersoll was the witness, because Ace wanted to hold Angela's arm as his elder brother and hand her over to General Arnold.

"I don't have a younger sister, and Angela is like my little sister. It's impossible for her to have other male elders to attend this wedding, so let me accompany her on this journey." Ace said.

Arnold naturally would not refuse.

On weekdays, Angela is already extremely beautiful without makeup; on the day of the wedding, Lich Ingrid took out a wedding dress from her collection and presented it to Angela, and dressed her up, making her even more radiant.

All humans or undead who saw her were stunned in amazement.

Ace also joked with a smile, "Our time at Bad Soden Manor seems to have happened yesterday. I still remember the first time I met you, you were only 14 years old."

At that time, Angela was like a lotus emerging from the water, beautiful and refined, she was as beautiful as she was beautiful, but she was like a delicate wooden beauty.Unlike now, her temperament is still pure, but the corners of her eyes and brows are full of style, innocent and charming, perfectly blending two completely different feelings together.She deserves the title of the number one beauty in the Twin Cities.

Angela, however, looked a little out of place.Ace thought she was going to be married as a wife, and felt uneasy before the wedding.

He also said a few words of relief, "Don't worry, you are like my own sister. If you encounter any unhappy things in the future, come to me, and I will support you."

But when they walked to the auditorium, Ace finally understood what Angela was thinking.

Angela looked around the auditorium, a little at a loss, and said, "Your Highness, why is sister not here?"

"This..." The matter about sisters Angela and Angelika was really messed up.

Ace naturally knew that Angela would want her sister to come to her wedding, but he understood better that Angelica would not be there tonight.

He asked Angela in a low voice, "Didn't your sister tell you beforehand?"

"My sister said she didn't want to come." Angela was puzzled and sad, and said, "Your Highness, why doesn't my sister want to come? When I left the sea of ​​dead spirits, I also left a letter with my sister, telling her that I insisted on her coming." .I thought she would come in the end, she couldn't hold me back, she never could hold me back."

Ace: ...

How should he answer this.

The journey covered with snow-white roses is over halfway, and both sides of the flowery road are well-known figures from the Dead Realm.Whether it's for the most powerful alchemist and the most beautiful woman in Angela's Twin Cities, or for the admiration of Arnold, the leader of the Eternal Night Knights, or for the wedding ceremony attended by the King of Skeletons, they all come from every corner of the dead world. Arrived here and presented a precious gift to the couple.

Unless Ace decides to hold a wedding for himself in the future, this will be the biggest wedding in the dead world for thousands of years.

"Angela, you have to learn to grow up. After today, you will have a new family. Not only Angelica, but Arnold will also become your relatives, love and protect you." Ace comforted him carefully.

They walked on the promenade covered with white roses, and all the guests looked at them with smiles.Ace concealed it deliberately, and no one noticed what they were talking about.

"After I get married and have a new family, will I be estranged from my sister?" Angela's eyes flashed panicked, and her hands became cold.

In fact, Ace felt unreal when he learned that General Arnold proposed to Angela so smoothly.

It's not that they don't match, it's that they lack the ambiguity that only lovers have.

But he didn't expect Angela to be so immature.

"Don't think about it so much." At this point, Ace didn't want any surprises at the wedding, "Today is your most important day, so focus on the wedding."

They have also come to the end of the flower road.

Ace handed Angela's hand to General Arnold, "Angela is the little sister in the family, sometimes she is not very sensible, I hope you can tolerate her more."

"I will, Your Highness." Arnold said.

He shook Angela's hand, Lich Ingersoll presided over their wedding, and Arnold made a promise to his king, his subordinates, and his future wife.

Lich Ingersoll continued: "Miss Angela Pfeffer, are you willing to marry Mr. Arnold von Fitzroy? Whether you are human or undead, you will love and cherish each other with him, Until the fire of the soul burns out."

The ghost baby Daniel had already carried a tray covered with red silk, and floated to Angela and Arnold's side. There were two rings on it, which were the Sorcerer's Stones collected by Arnold and forged by Angela herself.

However, the diamond ring he brought didn't seem to be of immediate use.

The entire banquet hall was very quiet.

Angela didn't speak, nor did anyone or the undead whisper.

Angela's silence lasted a little long.

Everyone gradually felt abnormal.

Angela put the bouquet in her hand on the tray of little Daniel, she took off her snow-white veil, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks, "Arnold, I'm sorry, I can't marry you now. I feel uneasy , I am worried about my sister, I think something happened to her, I want to go and see her."

The ballroom was even quieter.

It seemed that even the sound of the wind flowing was sucked in by the undead.

Perhaps no undead is as refined as Arnold, nor is a living knight so graceful.Arnold was still gentle, "When the wedding is over, I can go see her with you."

"No." Angela's eyes were slightly red, but her tone was more determined than before, "I'll go. As long as I go, it's enough. Sorry, can our wedding be postponed? I can't make an oath now."

Arnold didn't answer her.

"I'll explain it to you when I get back." Angela threw out a magic scroll, and a teleportation array appeared out of thin air in front of her. Her voice was inaudible, and only Arnold, who was closest to her, heard it.

She didn't dare to look at Arnold, nor did she dare to look in the direction of Ace.

In this way, she teleported away directly through the teleportation array.

awkward.

The entire banquet hall fell into unprecedented embarrassment.

No undead dared to see the jokes of Arnold, the leader of the Eternal Night Knights, let alone the presence of the Skeleton King. Today's bride is still the Skeleton King's former maid. The Skeleton King personally handed her over to Arnold. Escaping marriage like this?This is not only a shame for Arnold, but also for the Skeleton King.

And no one dared to stop Angela from leaving.

Although she was a level nine Necromancer, there were dozens of liches and holy ranks present. They didn't stop her, just because Arnold and the Skeleton King didn't make a move, and they didn't dare to overstep her.

Ace gestured to the lich Ingersoll.

I saw the Lich Ingersoll walking to the middle of the banquet hall calmly, and he gave a half salute very gracefully,

He said: "My friends, I am Ingersoll, and I welcome you to Eternal Night City to participate in this wedding. Our bride has an important family member who was not present, so she must invite her. Angela is Ingrid The girl I grew up with, she pursues perfection in everything, and she is a bit self-willed. Therefore, the wedding had to be postponed for a few days. It is rare for friends to visit Eternal Night City, and the trade fair scheduled to start tomorrow will be brought forward to today. To congratulate Newcomers, the city lord also took out a few copies of star potions to participate in the trade fair. If you have some extra treasures in your hands, you might as well take them out and exchange them for something useful..."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall gradually became active again.

It is rare for two planes, dozens of liches, and holy ranks to gather together. To many bigwigs, the fair held in Eternal Night City tomorrow may be more important than attending today's wedding.

Not to mention, there is also the legendary star potion.

Legend has it that the Star Potion is a potion that can only be refined by the Skeleton King, and it is also very beneficial to the holy rank.

At some point, Arnold had quietly disappeared into the banquet hall.It is also possible that someone found out, but pretended not to know.

Ace looked weird, and said to Nou who was standing next to him: "Sometimes I really feel that I am cursed. Last time I sent Fenfur to get married, she didn't have a few days of happiness. This time Angela Again."

Nuo Ou didn't care and said, "Who can curse you?" Compared with the farce at the wedding, he didn't want to see Ace unhappy, even if there was only a trace of it.

Ace sighed, "Who knows."

The next moment, Ace also quietly disappeared in place.

Nou knew that he went to find Arnold.

This time, both parties in the wedding have a close relationship with Ace, and it's not good for Ace to stay out of it completely.

……

With Ace's current strength, he found Arnold's location after only a little searching.

As soon as he appeared, Arnold noticed it.

Arnold saluted Ace as always, "Your Majesty."

Really, Ace thought he'd never be embarrassed about things again.

until now.

Ace said hesitantly, "Angela..."

"She won't come back." Arnold rarely interrupted Ace.

Noticing Ace's hesitation, he said: "Actually, I had a hunch before that Angela might not like me very much. It is obvious for a woman to fall in love completely. I have already communicated with Ingersoll and asked him for help I tell everyone that the wedding will not take place again."

Arnold's words were somewhat unexpected to Ace.

Ace subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, even if Angela came back as she said, he didn't think it was a good thing for them to prepare for the wedding immediately.

But he was even more puzzled, and asked: "In this case, why did you propose to Angela? You are to Angela..."

"I am sincere to Angela." Arnold's voice was rare and gentle, and he said: "When she first came to the dead world, I was the one who took care of her. Like Ingersoll said, I watched her go from one thing to another. Everything depends on my little necromancer, so far, she will become a necromancer in the near future; in the far future, she will also become one of us. The color she brings to my life, It's unmatched by anyone."

"Sorry." Causality loops.Thinking that he was the one who ordered Arnold to protect Angela at the beginning, and that he indirectly held the red line, Ace was also in a bad mood.

"Don't be sorry, Your Highness. Not every love needs to have a result." Arnold said.

Ace was startled.

He could hear the love in Arnold's words.

It is precisely because of this that he has no way to understand Arnold's calmness.

No matter how gracious and open-minded Arnold is, it has only been such a short time since he was repented by Angela, and he shouldn't be so calm.

Arnold continued: "In the past thousand years, I have seen too many tragedies of the Pansy family, from His Majesty Alexander I to your royal brother, His Royal Highness Prince Xiben, I have seen too many tragedies caused by obsession. I am very glad that I have not been cursed like that. I still love Angela deeply. She is the only woman I have ever been attracted to in a thousand years. I think there is no way to meet another person who can make me love so deeply.

But I am luckier than most people in the pansy family, I am more sober than them, and I may know who the most important person in her heart is before Angela.It's just that in front of the happiness that is within reach, I also become despicable. I know she still doesn't understand, so I still propose to her.But I think, even if she regrets it in the future, I will let her go.I just didn't expect this day to come so soon. "

"I'm still sorry, Arnold," Ace said.

Anyway, Angela shouldn't just walk away at the wedding.

If Arnold intends to retaliate, it is not easy for Ace to intervene too much if they have a marriage contract.

"Then what are your plans next?" Ace said, "I didn't know before that you are only one step away from being beyond the holy rank."

No wonder Arnold said he could be summoned when he was planning to go to the small plane.

When Ace was in the holy ranks, he thought that his power could not be transmitted to the dead world, and he never tried to summon Arnold and the others.But he ignored the possibility that if the person he wanted to summon was an existence beyond the holy rank, the other party could receive a wider range of information and could hear his call.

Arnold was not an existence beyond the holy rank before, but he was already very close.

He is even stronger than Noou before his breakthrough. Noou is very talented, but Arnold has stepped into the holy rank for more than a thousand years, and the accumulation is not comparable to Noou.

Even so, if Ace really summons him from the minor plane, the risk of his temporary breakthrough is still not small, and there is a certain probability of falling.

"Actually, it hasn't been too long since I've come this far. I've been in the endless wilderness for a thousand years. In order to protect the soul fires of other knights, my strength has been continuously drained. Before I met His Majesty, I was almost unable to hold on. And after the establishment of Eternal Night City, after I expressed my allegiance to you, my wish came true, and I vaguely felt the bottleneck." Arnold said.

"Why didn't you tell me? I will naturally let you go to retreat to practice." Ace said.

If Arnold concentrates on cultivation, he may already be an existence beyond the holy rank.

"Your Majesty, if I break through, the contract between you and me will cease to exist." Arnold said.

Ace froze again.

Just like a human's magic pet breaks through the holy rank and will regain freedom, the undead creature is a big realm higher than his city master, and will no longer be bound by the contract.

Ace said slowly, "Is it really worth it?"

Arnold thought of his last battle.

Because of the order of His Majesty Alexander I, he went to a mortal battle with the entire knight order, and he watched his companions fall one by one until he died with arrows piercing his heart.He was taught chivalry since he was a child, and he was already ready to sacrifice, but his king failed to fulfill his promise, without their knightly glory, their numbers were also drowned in the dust of history.

Until he ushered in his true king in the boundless wilderness, his companions were awakened again, and the cavalry of the Knights resounded through the plane again, and they got new titles, invincible.

"Your Majesty, you are my faith."
