Skeleton King

Ace took two steps to the box on the right, and he knocked on the door.

"Come in." A boy's voice.It's just that Ace didn't hear Karl Kaiser speak, not sure if it was him.

Ace opened the door.

This box is the same size as Noou's box, except that there are no wooden tables and chairs in the box, only two sofas, both of which are solid colors, one pure white and the other pure black.

Carl Kaiser was sitting on a white couch, and to Ace's surprise, there was no one else in the box.

Ace was not polite, he sat directly on the black couch on the other side.Ace comes face to face with Karl Kaiser.Three years have passed, Carl Kaiser has grown a lot, his expression is calm, and most adults can't match the momentum on his body, but the outline of his face is still childish, all this brings him A different kind of charm.

When Ace was looking at Carl Kaiser, Carl Kaiser was also looking at Ace, as if he was endlessly curious about this person.

Carl Kaiser: "Long time no see. Let me introduce myself, I am Carl Kaiser, but I am better known as the eldest son of the chairman of the Kaiser Chamber of Commerce."

Ace smiled and said: "Ace Neumann, from the Neumann family in Westphalia. I think you should have my information." It has been two hours since Caesar met in the corridor.Ace never doubted the power of one of the wealthiest families in the empire.

"Yes." Carl Kaiser said: "I believe that Master Neumann knows a little about why I invited you here."

Ace: "I don't know. I don't know there is such an invitation method."

Carl Caesar chuckled, his pale skin was in line with the Pansy Empire's aesthetics, but the two blushes on his face made him look unhealthy, "I'm not sure if you want the little Duke Green to know The topic we are about to talk about, so I have no choice but to find you like this."

Ace was silent.

Carl Kaiser stood up, and Ace noticed that his clothes were empty, and his flesh couldn't even support such a small clothes.

Carl Kaiser put a wooden box on the sofa where Ace was sitting, and his hands were also thin, like chicken feet, horribly skinny.

"Express my sincerity." Carl Kaiser put down the small wooden box and sat back on the sofa. "I also thank you for saving my life on the coast of the Netherlands three years ago."

Ace opened the small wooden box, and there was indeed an astrology doll inside. His hand stroked the delicate stitches on the astrology doll's clothes.Looking at it closely, the face of the astrology doll is even more ingenious. Ace knows that it is a real astrology doll without using magic power to detect it.

Ace: "So you did it on purpose. I was thinking, how could there be such a thing in the southeasternmost town of the Pansy Empire. If the third-rate chamber of commerce does not understand its value, it is possible to release it. But the Caesars Chamber of Commerce should not have made such a mistake. As long as the news is released more than ten days in advance, the Caesars Chamber of Commerce will auction the astrology doll, and the transaction price this time can be at least ten times higher."

Carl Kaiser: "But that way, the Caesars Chamber of Commerce may not be able to keep it. Some families have discovered that the Caesars Chamber of Commerce has an astrology doll. It may not be a good thing to sell it like this."

Ace was noncommittal.

Carl Kaiser: "Some things are priceless, like horoscope dolls."

At the auction, the astrology doll may be sold for tens of millions of gold coins, but at other times, it may not be possible to buy an astrology doll with tens of millions of gold coins.This is priceless.

Ace nodded, "Yes."

Carl Kaiser: "In my opinion, my life is worth a little more than it is."

Not to mention Ace, even the chairman of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, and Carl Caesar's father standing here, may not necessarily agree.It is much easier for him to have a son than to earn 1000 million gold coins.

After Carl Kaiser finished speaking, he suddenly coughed forcefully.

Ace asked, "Are you unwell?"

Carl Kaiser: "Soulfire damage, even if there is nothing wrong with the body, it is not very comfortable every day."

Ace remembered that when Carl Caesar was taken out of the Skeleton King's tomb by him, he was only his age, and he probably lived like this for the past three years, so he said, "I apologize to you on behalf of Daniel."

Carl Caesar: "What happened to that undead?"

Ace said: "It has completely disappeared." It is not still hiding in a corner of the present world, nor has it gone to the dead world, but has completely disappeared in any possible plane.

"I didn't want to take revenge on him." Seeing that Ace didn't express anything else, Carl Caesar knew that the undead Daniel had completely disappeared, "I thank you very much. Actually, when I left the cemetery, I was awake and teleported At that time, I was so scared that I cried." I was afraid that you could not use the space magic well, and sent us to an unknown plane.Of course, the last sentence Karl Caesar would not say to Ace.

Ace: "I thought the seaside was too humid, so it was you who got my clothes wet."

Carl Kaiser smiled, he is no longer that timid child, so those cowardly actions are not something that cannot be mentioned.

Carl Kaiser: "I thank you for letting me survive at that time. Although Daniel is right, I have to suffer more when I live. But I still want to live. If I die, there will be nothing."

What Karl Kaiser didn’t say was that he was not as curious as Daniel thought when he went to the coast of the Netherlands, and was curious about the rare treasures of the Netherlands village. Given his background, he didn’t see any treasures, so why bother to the Netherlands coast.

That time, it was Karl Kaiser's father who asked him to go to a village in the Netherlands and said: "If there is something of value, just buy it." He just went.

In fact, this was just a way for Karl Kaiser's father to distract him.The first wife of the president of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce passed away for a long time, and he has always had lovers outside, and Karl Caesar also knew about it.This time, the lover of the chairman of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce had a child, and he didn't know whether he was worried that the eldest son would have opinions, or if he couldn't speak to the eldest son, he sent Carl Caesar far away.

Carl Caesar was taken by Daniel to the Skeleton King's tomb, which no one expected.

But when Carl Kaiser returned home, his body was not as good as before and after, and he overheard what his father said to his lover, "Fortunately, there are other children."

Although knowing that I am not essential, the feeling that I can be replaced at any time is really bad.

Now, Carl Kaiser said to Ace: "I want to have a win-win cooperation with you."

Ace couldn't put it down with the astrology doll in his opponent's hands. While cursing himself for being weak-hearted, he reluctantly closed the wooden box.

Ace said: "You say." Although Ace pretended to be calm on the surface, there was a villain in him who was crying bitterly. As long as Carl Caesar's request was not too excessive, he would agree to him.

"There is such a saying in the Pansy Empire. As long as there is something in this world, there is nothing that cannot be bought at the Caesar Chamber of Commerce. If there is, it is just that the price you paid is not enough." Carl Caesar said: "But in fact, There are indeed some things that are not even available in the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, and do not belong to this world."

Ace understood, "You want something from the dead world. Are you looking for someone, or something?"

The saying that only the dead can keep secrets does not apply to necromancers.If you don't know who killed your father and enemy, you just need to find his father's undead and ask; if you know there is a treasure, but all the insiders are dead, you just need to go to the dead world to find them.

"Look for things first, boundary stones, soul crystals, these things that can be seen everywhere in the dead world, can be sold at a very good price in this world. If someone entrusts you, you can also accept the task of finding someone." Carl Caesar looked at Ace's hand Looking at the wooden box on it, he said: "I think it shouldn't be difficult for you to enter and leave the world of death now."

Ace: "How long do I have to do these things?"

Carl Kaiser: "Forever."

Ace wanted to throw the wooden box directly back to Carl Kaiser. Although he liked the astrology doll very much, he hadn't reached the point of selling himself.

Carl Caesar stretched out his hand and stopped Ace's movement, "Listen to me first. I asked you to go to the dead world to find things or people. It is definitely not for nothing. I don't know your current level of Necromancer. If you If you are a first-level necromancer, we get nine points, you one and I nine, if you are a second-level necromancer, we get twenty-eight points, you two and I eight, and so on, when you become a ninth-level magician, you only need to give I get [-]% of the profit, just give me a fee for my hard work."

Ace said: "No wonder the Caesars Chamber of Commerce can grow so big."

Boundary stones, soul crystals, and other specialties of the undead are surprisingly profitable, except that Ace needs to consume mana and time, which is basically a costless business.If Ace is a first-level necromancer, he can get a lot of money if he goes all out to find these things.But if he dared to breach the contract, it would not be easy for Karl Caesar to deal with him, relying on the giant Caesar Chamber of Commerce.

When Ace becomes stronger, with such a small profit, even if Ace dare not break the contract, sneaking fish or something, Carl Caesar can't send someone to the dead to supervise him.Therefore, Karl Kaiser increased Ace's share ratio, and nearly half of the profit was still very worthy of Ace's hard work.

When Ace became a high-level necromancer, he was able to open the passage between the dead world and the world at will, and summon the skeleton army.The status of him and the Caesar Chamber of Commerce has also been reversed. Ace does not have to worry about being hunted down, but the Caesar Chamber of Commerce has to worry about when he will anger the killing god and be taken over by one pot. But at this time, the ratio between Ace and the Caesar Chamber of Commerce is just Give the Caesar Chamber of Commerce a drink of soup.

Karl Kaiser had everything in his mind.

Carl Caesar: "Of course, if Ace, I can call you that, when you become a mage, if you want to sell something, will the Caesar Chamber of Commerce charge you a penny for handling fees, and will help you Sell ​​the goods at the best price. This cooperation can be terminated whenever you want. As long as you don’t cooperate with other chambers of commerce, you can sell things from the dead world.”

Ace: "It seems that I have no reason to refuse."

Carl Kaiser smiled slightly. Although his body was weaker than ordinary people, his posture of controlling everything at this moment was heartbreaking.

Ace: "Then Karl, let me see what items from the Undead Realm the Caesar Chamber of Commerce needs."

……

When Ace returned to Nou's box, the auction was over.The people in the auction venue were leaving one after another. Nou should have left, but he was still here waiting for Ace.

Nou said coldly, "Where did you go?"

Ace: "There's a cute little girl outside, alas, it's not..."

Ace didn't want to tell lies to Noou, but just like Carl Caesar thought, Ace didn't intend to tell Noou that he was a necromancer.

First of all, people in the world have many misunderstandings about necromancers, that is, Nou is willing to accept that Ace is a necromancer. According to Nou's temperament, he will definitely take Ace's identity to heart. Nou has already carried enough things , Ace didn't want to add trouble to him.

Second, Ace doesn't know how to explain the Skeleton King's tomb.To make up a story requires making up countless stories to complete the first story.

Nou: "If you have anything you want to do, go ahead and do it, just don't let people wait in vain."

Ace knew that Nou was not really angry with him, so he went to hold Nou's hand.

Nou broke free twice, and found that Ace's grip was too tight, and he couldn't break free.

Nuoou turned his head and met his big friend with a big smirking face, and there were a few faint red marks on his fair face where tiny fluff could still be seen.The last breath of anger in Nuoou's heart disappeared.

Ace: "Oh, Nou, you can't ignore me. It's so late, I still have to ride me back on horseback."

Nou: Still angry!

……

The shops in Bremen have long been closed, and the residents of the city have also fallen asleep. The dark night enveloped the entire city, only the small light yellow lights on the street corners, so that passers-by at night will not lose their way.

Fortunately, Nuoou was skilled in riding, and it didn't take long for Ace to take Ace through most of the city and return to the villa.

Ace returned to the room, and Angelica had already prepared the toiletries.

While washing, Ace said, "Angelica, next time I come back so late, you don't have to wait." Nuoou rode a horse and took Ace to the auction, and asked Angelica to come back first.Ace told Angelica to go to bed first, but she didn't expect her to be waiting.

Angelica curtsied without saying yes or no.

Ace knew that she would still be waiting.Angelica became stubborn, and even Ace couldn't do anything about her.Ace had to let her go.

After Angelica left, Ace removed the monster egg in the space bracer from the Taiji diagram transformed from Yanghuo and Yinhuo, took it out and put it on the incubator.Ace stroked the monster egg in his hand, and felt that the fatigue of the day had disappeared.

very nice.

Nice, Ace thought.

He has so many concerns in this world. He has a close friend like Nuoou, sisters Angelica and Angela, and he will also have his own monster.

The astrology doll is a humanoid weapon without mind, and it is also the best place to store the soul.Ace can put a ray of his soul on the astrology doll, and pass it in and out of the dead world, so that there is no danger of falling.The danger of the dead world has always been the biggest shackle for the necromancer to improve his strength.

Ace thought that he could go further in undead magic than he had imagined at first.

It was late, and Ace fell asleep on the pillow.

Before he knew it, the monster egg on the incubator shook violently. It didn't just move like before, but it seemed that something was about to break out of its shell.

But it may be that the eggshell is too thick, or the cub inside the eggshell is not strong enough. After another ten minutes, the shaking disappeared.In Ace's bedroom, the usual calm returned.
