Skeleton King

It wasn't until Nou disappeared into the horizon that Ace left from the window of the magic tower and returned to the laboratory.

In the laboratory, various magic props were placed on several experimental tables, but the experimental table in the middle was empty, with only two pairs of shackles on the edge of the table, and a lot of broken glass on the edge of the table.Although Ace has been here for half a month, this is the first time he feels that the magic tower is empty and gloomy.

Ace walked to the edge of the experimental table near the entrance of the laboratory, and naturally put the Yanghuo into the space wristband.

Noah is gone.

Ace is bound to tear up his face with the man in black.

It is impossible for him to stay with the man in black as a magic apprentice.The man in black will not let him go, and there are too many secrets in him that no one wants to know.

Ace used magic power to open the Space Bracer, and inside was an empty room with a staff of necromancers, a lifeless Warcraft egg, and a pile of books on the ground.Other than that, there are only two clusters of flames suspended in the air.

The white flame on the left is the Yinfire Ace got from Skeletron's tomb; the orange flame on the right is the Yangfire he just put in.The two groups of flames were not as he had imagined, when they met, they would explode like thunder and fire, and the battle was out of control, but the well water does not interfere with the river water, and the difference is clear.

Ace pulled out the magic power from the space bracer, no longer caring about Yanghuo and Yinhuo.

He couldn't figure it out for a while, and the two flames were useless.

Clean up the shards of glass on the floor and throw them in the corner, and wipe the tables clean.Ace looked around the lab, there was nothing more he could do.

Ace walked to the middle of the laboratory, jumped to sit on the experimental table, and waited quietly for the man in black to arrive.

The most terrible thing in this world is not the death penalty, but the time waiting for the death penalty to come.Ace hopes that the man in black robe will come quickly, and he also hopes that the man in black robe will come slowly. Although he has three points of confidence in his plan, if he fails...

If the man in black came later, Nuoou could run farther.Even if there is one more chance, Ace wants to fight for him.

It's a pity that there is not even a meal with a severed head. The food in the Pansy Empire is really not good, and I don't know if I will have a sense of taste after becoming a lich, Ace thought aimlessly.

"Crack-"

The sound of the door opening on the third floor of the Magic Tower.

The black-robed man only took a step outside, but his footsteps stopped. Someone in the magic tower took advantage of him to use the magic mirror to contact him, and did something against his will.

Ace raised his head slightly, the boy's white neck was like a swan, beautiful and elegant, but slender and fragile, he looked towards the third floor of the magic tower.These days, Ace lives in the laboratory and knows exactly what sounds happen in various places in the magic tower.

The man in black must have noticed something was wrong.

A shadow was cast by the door of the laboratory, and a large figure blocked the light from the corridor to the laboratory.The laboratory, which was originally not well-lit, has more shadows.

In the laboratory, on the desk where Noou was originally handcuffed, sat another boy.The young man sat on the experimental table in an unruly manner. The experimental table was a bit high, and the young man's calves were dangling in the air.This was the first scene that the man in black saw.

Legend has it that when water-type mages are sad, there will be heavy rain from the sky; when fire-type mages are angry, volcanoes will erupt underground.Their powerful strength, even if their mood swings, can also change the color of the world.

Once, Ace thought, this was nonsense.But now, the calm airflow in the magic tower suddenly formed small vortices, which were spinning and moving rapidly, bringing great oppression to Ace.

Although Ace wasn't going to be injured, his power had already suppressed him.

The man in black is indeed a great magician of the wind system.Although he didn't grab Ace's neck with both hands or torture Ace with spells, he didn't move, but his face was expressionless, and his brown eyes showed a trace of desolation, as if he hadn't seen him all year round. The rain, the desert without green trees, seems to be able to swallow everything.

"Sorry, Nou restrained me and forced me to open the shackles. He ran away. He is much stronger than me, and I can't restrain him at all." Ace tried to break the deadlock, but his words were insincere.

The man in black took another step into the laboratory.The vortex in the air spun more rapidly.

"Do you think I will believe it?" The man in black looked at Ace and said, "Do you know my original name?"

Ace said truthfully: "You didn't say it, you don't know."

The man in black was about to be laughed out of anger, his voice also seemed to come from the desert, it was no longer his usual deep and melodious voice, like a cello, but a little hoarse, like when they first met.The man in black tried his best to restrain his emotions and suppress his anger, so as not to let himself crush this weak ant to death.

The man in black: "I thought about letting you really become my magic apprentice, but do you think that I will forgive you for your stupid and self-righteous mistakes?"

"There is a way in this world, you don't go, and there is no way to die, you go in." The voice of the man in black echoed in the laboratory. He was out of anger, which made his voice a little ethereal.

Ace said indifferently, "There is a gate to hell."

The man in black had a little doubt in his eyes, but he didn't take Ace's words seriously.

Ace smiled. Compared with the man in black robe, his voice was more ethereal and unpredictable, "Fo Hao asked Lemus to give me, Yeshu Ribo Di Hu..."

The spell that had disappeared for hundreds of years reappeared on the land of the Pansy Empire. It opened a dusty door and connected the present world with the other side. Howling everywhere.

When Ace started chanting the spell, the man in black didn't take it seriously. He didn't interrupt Ace. First, he wanted to see what Ace could do. Second, he was confident that Ace could not hurt him. .

However, when Ace chanted the spell, the man in black felt faintly uneasy, the ancient, charming, and unknown magic language, and the wonderful, unpredictable, and palpitating melody.

The man in black stared at Ace, his head turned slightly, and he was observing the surrounding environment.

If there was a small vortex in the laboratory because of the anger of the man in black, then at this time, with Ace's spell, it turned into a gust of wind.

"A magic element with a dark attribute." The man in black murmured.

Although Ace and the man in black look like Ace is harmless to humans and animals, and the man in black looks like a big villain boss, but from the perspective of magic attributes, their identities should be reversed.

"Crack clap clap..."

A creature from another world appeared in the magic tower. It had a terrifying appearance and a strong death breath, which could even stop children from crying.

Man in black robe: full of black lines.

The man in black: "What is this?"

Summoned by Ace, seen by the man in black——

A small skeleton with bandaged legs and a half-horned helmet on its head looked unintimidating.On the contrary, the little skull's bandage was very long, which worried the man in black, whether it would step on the bandage, trip himself, and cause his bones to fall apart.

This idea just turned around in the head of the man in black, and the little skeleton at Ace's feet immediately fell down.

It's just that instead of tripping over the bandage, the little skull hit the foot of the table.

Ace kicked the leg of the table twice and blamed, "Why did you hit it?" He looked like an unreasonable parent who was fighting for his child.

The man in black thought it was ridiculous, "This is what you summoned?! Do you expect it to defeat me?! Or help you escape from here?!"

Ace: "The creature summoned from the dead world may be a skeleton lord or a skeleton soldier. It's just that I'm unlucky." Looking at his appearance, he wanted to recite the spell again.

Of course, the man in black couldn't let him succeed, and scolded: "Not a word of truth!" From the first time the man in black saw Ace, he felt that he was scheming and his words were not true.But the man in black didn't expect that under such circumstances, Ace would still be in the mood to speak freely.

Ace stroked the little skull's head, and the little skull was also extremely affectionate to Ace, and rubbed against his palm.

The man in black: "How do you know how to use undead magic?"

Ace: "On the shelf in the laboratory, there is the third magic notebook in the second row. You said that the notebook was not written by a magician, but I can see the incantations and meditation methods of undead magic on it."

The man in black subconsciously pulled out the book from the shelf, but when he opened it again, there was still nothing written in it.Even if the man in black used visible ink, it was useless.

The man in black squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Ace, even the corners of his eyes and brows had a dangerous aura.This time, the man in black didn't want to say "a word of the truth".

The man in black: "Do you think that the bitter tricks you did to Noah Green and performed in front of me were painful enough? But compared to what I'm about to do to you, that's not even one ten-thousandth of it .”

Ace was about to speak.

The man in black didn't want to hear it anymore, "No, I gave you a chance. Don't tell me anything, I don't want to hear it anymore. Watching you die in pain will be my greatest pleasure. You think you have mastered A little undead magic, can you negotiate terms with me? You are too naive!"

"The vastness of the magic world is beyond your imagination. Any magician, even a mage, cannot explore one line of magic in his life. As long as one line of magic reaches the end, that magician is enough to be canonized." , let future generations of magicians admire, not to mention the two departments. I don't have that much ambition, there are too many people who don't know themselves in this world, but I am not."

"That's why, I got Hai Lan's staff before, and I didn't want to switch to water magic. I have the highest affinity for wind elements, and I am also proficient in low-level, intermediate, and high-level spells of wind magic. Even if Hai Lan's staff is intact, Its blessing to me will not be earth-shattering. And your half-baked undead magic is not very precious in my opinion." The man in black said seriously.

Although a lot of undead magic has been lost, orthodox undead magic meditation methods and a full set of spells can be sold at high prices on the black market, but this can only bring money to the black-robed people, at most some rare herbs and magic materials, it is unlikely Quickly improve his strength.

The man in black took out Hai Lan's staff from the space ring, and he said: "Ace Neumann, you did something stupid. Originally, I was a little sorry to kill you. But now, you have wasted your only It has value. Undead magic absorbs dark magic elements, which will collide with light magic elements, and it is impossible for you to follow the path of an orthodox magician."

Ace listened to the man in black absent-mindedly, and kept his hands busy, playing with Little Skull.He flicked the skull of the little skull, and the little skull was so angry that he untied the bandage on his hand and wrapped it around Ace's hand.

Ace raised his hand, and the little skull hung directly on his arm in the air.

The black-robed man's Hailan staff was facing Ace.It's fun to end a would-be magical genius with a legendary staff that's already starting to crumble.

Ace looked at the fire of the little skull's soul, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, blurry, but cold, "You accept my call and will carry out my order..."

The man in black listened to Ace's order to the little skull, and didn't feel threatened at all.In the face of absolute power, conspiracy and tricks are just jokes.

Ace waved his hand forward, and the little skull jumped directly at the black-robed man relying on inertia.

The man in black turned sideways to avoid the rampage of the little skull. This is at most a second-level undead creature. He can't even use undead magic, and his speed and strength are not as good as a first-level swordsman.If it weren't for the fact that all undead creatures have the attribute of immortality, this little skeleton is worthless.Even if the magician's body was severely damaged by magic potions because he stayed in the laboratory all year round, the man in black was not afraid of such undead creatures.

The little skull only slightly touched Hailan's staff with the bandage, and it didn't even touch a small piece of the black-robed man's skin, and fell to the black-robed man's feet.The man in black kicked it, and the bones of the little skull were fine, but the fire of soul in its skull became extremely dim and might be extinguished at any time.

At the same time, a green light on Hai Lan's staff shot straight at Ace.

Ace was sitting on the table, and it was difficult to avoid it. The speed of the man in black chanting magic was too fast. Ace couldn't even hear what he said, and the green light came to Ace.

Although Ace moved a little to the left, avoiding the position of the heart, Qingmang still cut a deep bone wound on his body.In an instant, bright red blood spurted out of Ace's chest, and his face paled two degrees visible to the naked eye.

The man in black took a step forward expressionlessly, and raised Hai Lan's staff for the second time.

The clothes on Ace's body were already stained red with blood, and some even splashed on his face, leaving spots of plum blossoms on his face.

In the snow all over the sky, there are only two bouquets of winter plums blooming against the wind, and a boy who is about to freeze to death smiles at him behind the plum blossoms.Although the man in black had cold eyes, a trace of uneasiness flashed in his heart, because Ace's smile revealed a trace of confidence, like the joy of success.

But he has nothing to rely on, the man in black thinks so.

He decided that Ace was playing tricks.

Whether it's Little Skull or Ace's smile, it's this careless kid trying to make him unhappy.There is a kind of person in this world who can make the enemy uneasy even if he is about to die in the next moment.

Ace: "You shouldn't be using Hai Lan's staff."

The hand of the man in black holding Hai Lan's staff paused for a moment.

Ace: "The legendary staff is spiritual."

"Don't you think that if you saved the kid from the Green family, this staff will not hurt you? The staff has spirituality, and it is also for its owner. Even if its owner's partner or descendants are here, it will not care Yes." The man in black taunted: "Even if Nou Green is here, he can only die with Hai Lan's staff, and die in my hands."

Ace covered his wound with his hand, and his hand was covered with blood, "But Nou is a swordsman." I am a magician.

The man in black: "Huh?"

Ace: "And you are not the owner of Hai Lan's staff."

Ordinary staffs are not counted, and advanced magic props, such as space rings and Hai Lan staffs, can all be recognized as masters.Magicians can engrave their soul imprints on magic items, unless they die, or a more powerful magician overwrites the original owner's magic imprint with his own magic imprint, otherwise, it is impossible for others to use this magic item.

Conquering Hai Lan's staff can only be done by ordinary wizards.

The man in black can also, if he practices a lot of water magic and keeps trying to engrave.But at least for now, the man in black has not engraved his soul imprint on the staff of the dead.

"However, it is impossible for it to recognize a magic apprentice as its master." The man in black thought, this was the last sentence he and Ace said.

The man in black thinks that Ace is a smart person, but until now, he has discovered that a smart person is stupid, three points more stupid than a stupid person.

"Who said I want it to recognize me as the master." Ace said something to himself, but the man in black didn't hear it.

Ace lowered his head, his long bangs covered his eyes, he didn't use the magician's language anymore, because this was not a spell he cast, but a sacrifice, "I, Ace Neumann, water The body of the elements, I would like to use my body, my blood, and my life to support Hai Lan's staff. I will use my magic power to repair the damage of the staff; I will use my life to nurture the damage of the staff. .”

"Hailan staff, would you like it?"

willing.

In the unbelievable eyes of the man in black, Hailan's staff came out of his hand.

The man in black wanted to reach for the legendary staff, but ripples appeared on the staff, shaking the man in black away.Hai Lan's staff moved slowly but firmly into Ace's hand.

When Ace held Hai Lan's staff, he felt that they were in perfect harmony, as if they were one.

But both Ace and the man in black know that this is not the case.Ace only felt that something in his body passed away, passed through his arm, and entered Hai Lan's staff.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

This time, it was Ace's turn to hold Hai Lan's staff and aim at the man in black.

Ace: "I can exert 100% of the power of Hai Lan's staff."

The man in black knew that this time, the god of fate was standing behind Ace.The man in black didn't even dare to turn around, for fear of being caught by Ace, he stepped back towards the door of the laboratory while facing Ace directly, while taking out the staff he used to use from the space ring.Although this staff is far inferior to Hai Lan's staff, at least it will not betray him.

Ace shot two icicles with Hai Lan's staff, piercing the man in black.

The man in black knocked down two shards of ice and stood in the laboratory unscathed, but he also lost the chance to leave the laboratory.

At this time, the black-robed talent suddenly realized, "You summoned the undead creature to let your magic power touch Hailan's staff. That skeleton didn't come to me, it originally came to the undead staff. From the beginning, you I just wanted to sacrifice myself."

Ace didn't speak, he acquiesced to what the man in black said.

However, the villain died of talking too much.

Ace felt that he had nothing to say with the man in black.

Spells are treasures that every magician does not pass on.Even in the Skeleton King's magic handbook, apart from undead magic, there are not many other systems of magic recorded.

Ace doesn't know the spells of water magic, so he can only rely on the power of Hai Lan's staff to deal with the man in black.

"Condensation!" Another force of life was input into Hai Lan's staff.

The man in black felt that half of his body was frozen.What Ash condensed was not the water element in the air, but his blood.Blood is also a type of water element.

The palm and arm of the man in black's right hand were already covered with a thin layer of ice.The blood on that half of his body was even more frozen.

The movement of the man in black became sluggish.

He knew that if he didn't leave now, the power of Hai Lan's staff would freeze the blood in his whole body, and he would never be able to leave.

However, the right hand of the man in black has been controlled by Ace.If it weren't for the soul imprint on his staff, the staff would be aimed at himself.

"Ace Neumann, you won't be complacent for too long." The black-robed man swiped his hand, and his right arm was broken, and even his staff fell to the ground along with his arm.

The remaining body of the black-robed man split into six phantoms.

Seven one-armed men in black robes appeared in the laboratory.Ace senses the magic element, but finds that all seven phantoms have magic power.

The seven phantoms all ran towards the door of the laboratory.

Ace knocked down the first and third ones with Hai Lan's staff, but his magic power was limited, and the attack could not be instantaneous, so he had to watch the remaining phantoms escape from the laboratory.After Ace's attack, the phantom of the man in black did not disappear, indicating that Ace did not hit his real body.

Ace was seriously injured, and he couldn't chase out of the laboratory.

He could only be echoed in the magic tower by the voice of the man in black, "Ace Neumann, you sacrificed your life to the Hailan staff, but you are not his master. You are just a container for the legendary staff , it is absorbing your vitality all the time. You can only practice non-stop, keep getting stronger, and the shadow of death will always be shrouded in your back. Even if the Hailan staff can increase your ability to practice water magic Speed, you won't live long, your death will follow you everywhere."

"Ace Neumann, I will come to you. But before I find you, you are too likely to die. I hope you don't let me down and live a little longer. Legendary staff Container." The man in black's voice became farther and farther away, and by the end of his speech, he should have left the magic tower.

Ace's voice was inaudible: "I'll wait."

Ace was lying on the experimental table, and he was physically and mentally exhausted after this battle of wits and courage.If the man in black insists on fighting again, the greatest possibility is that the two of them will perish together.

Ace spent a little vitality on Hai Lan's staff.

Then, Ace borrowed Hai Lan's staff to repair the wound on his body a little bit, and he stopped his movements just waiting for the blood to stop flowing.

The wound can be healed, but the vitality used up will not come back.

In order to prevent the man in black from going back and forth, or there are men and old friends of the man in black around him, Ace stayed in the laboratory for a while, not even intending to go to the third floor to hunt for treasure, so he left the magic tower.

Ace went around to the back of the magic tower, followed the direction Noou left just now, and chased him out.
