Skeleton King

Georgia Knights Training Camp.

Nou rode on a white pony, and picked another oncoming swordsman off the horse with a spear. The tip of the spear was blunt, so it would not hurt even if it was stabbed.After the stabbed swordsman fell off his horse, he rolled twice on the spot, sat on the ground, raised his hands, and said, "I surrender."

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Cheers erupted from the sides of the training ground.

Ace picked up a weed and leaned on a stone pillar. He raised his hands above his head and clapped happily. Although Nou rarely loses on the training ground, every time he sees him defeating the enemy smoothly, It's all a visual treat.

David Richter stood beside Ace, looking enviously at the center of the training ground, where Nou was walking back and forth on his horse.David Richter said: "It's a pity that there are no girls here, otherwise their adoring eyes will drown Green."

Ace sneered, and he kicked David Richter, "Your turn."

David Richter went to the training ground in mourning. He took a fancy to a seemingly docile brown colt. He stepped on the stirrups and "gnawed and gnawed" for a long time before getting on the horse's back.The foal sneezed impatiently and trotted to the middle of the training field with David Richter on his back.

Ace seemed to have expected the result, he couldn't bear to look any further, and covered his eyes with one hand.

"Hahahahahaha."

There was laughter from the crowd on the training ground, Ace separated his index finger and middle finger, and quietly looked towards the center of the training ground.It turned out that David Richter was thrown off the horse by the brown foal before he met his opponent. At this time, David Richter was lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up for a long time. walked around him.

"Don't make a fool of yourself!" Nou had already come down from the training ground, and he happened to walk up to Ace at this moment. He couldn't help but said as he looked at Ace covering his eyes with his hands and looking at the situation on the training ground.

Ace saw Nou coming, and said with a smile, "I know Richter is likely to fall, but he still exceeded my expectations."

When Ace had had enough laughs, he went to the training ground and helped David Richter up, picked up the spear in David Richter's hand, rode on the brown colt, and used a handsome The pose picked the opponent off the horse that would have belonged to David Richter.

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

There were cheers again on the training ground. Ace rode on the pony, brandishing a spear with his hands, and walked back into the crowd after playing enough prestige.

Nuo Ou: "If you come to the training ground every day, you can participate in this kind of competition every day." Such an ordinary victory will not be so exciting.

Ace: "If it happens every day, what's there to be happy about?"

After all the swordsmen who participated in the training had finished their competition, Grand Knight Commander Ross stood in front of them, holding a notebook in his hand, and was reading to them the scores they had just obtained in the competition.

"Noel Green, 1 point."

"Thomas Umbach, 3 points."

……

The scoring standard of the Georgia Knights is a 5-point system, the smaller the score, the better the result, 1 point is excellent, 4 points are passing, and 5 points are failing.Because the competition is a two-two duel, generally you can get 3 points for defeating your opponent, and you can get 2 points or even 1 point for those who perform extremely well.

The loser will get 4 or 5 points because of the strength of the opponent and the performance of the individual. Like Thomas Umbach, although he was defeated by Nou, his own strength is good. He is one of the few level 3 swordsmen in this training camp. Secondly, his opponent is too strong, so he also has 3 points.

……

In this way, Grand Knight Ross reported their scores one by one until——

"David Richter, 6 points."

Although the scoring standard of the Georgia Knights is a 5-point system, occasionally there will be worse scores, such as 6 points and 7 points, because the knights believe that those swordsmen who get 5 points also have merit.As for the remaining good-for-nothings, they must be given a separate classification, say, 6 points.

Normally, other knights would check their training results and might save some face for Earl Richter's first successor, but Grand Knight Commander Ross didn't care about that, he was always unselfish.

……

"Jerrold Horsley, four points."

"Joe Graff, three points."

"Ace Neumann, 6 points."

Hearing this, Ace raised his eyebrows. He didn't understand how Grand Knight Ross could score him 6 points, even Jerrold Horsley, who was defeated by him, had 4 points.

After reporting all the names, Grand Knight Ross asked, "Everyone's results are here. Does anyone have any objections?"

Ace raised his hand and said, "Report to the Grand Knight Commander, I have objections."

There was a muffled low laugh on the training ground.

Grand Knight Commander Ross closed his notebook and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Ace: "Back to the Grand Knight Commander, why do I only have 6 points?"

The laughter on the training ground rang out again, and those swordsmen seemed to be clenching their fists, but they couldn't restrain the crazy laughter in their bodies.Every time Ace meets Ross Grand Knight Commander, fun things always happen.

Grand Knight Commander Ross: "Why can't you be 6 points? Who did you beat?"

Ace: "Jerrold Horsley. He has 4 points, but I only have 6 points. This is unfair and not in line with the spirit of chivalry."

Grand Knight Commander Ross: "Do you still know chivalry? Whose opponent is Gerald Horsley? He is David Richter's opponent! You defeated someone who was not your opponent, and you want me to give you You have a high score! On the battlefield, you were asked to fight the army of the Finger Empire, but you beat your own people, and you still want His Majesty to count your military exploits for you!"

The young swordsmen couldn't bear it anymore, their laughter echoed throughout the training ground.Even Nuoou stroked his forehead, not knowing what to say.

The corner of Ace's mouth twitched, and he rolled his big eyes towards the sky.

"The person who scored 6 points stays to clean the training ground, and the others go back to the room." The Grand Knight Commander Ross said angrily: "Disband!"

Swordsmen walked past Ace constantly, and they patted Ace's back, shoulders, and head with their hands, "Neumann, thank you for your hard work."

"Neumann, work hard."

"It's a cool autumn now, and the horse manure on the training ground has not been stained, it's far worse than my time..."

Ace stood there with nothing to love, he saw Nou, "Nou, you will stay and help me."

Nou pretended not to know him, and walked past Ace without looking sideways.The little Duke Green, who has a cleanliness, doesn't want to do the dirty job of cleaning the training ground, and Ace deserves it all.

It didn't take long for the people on the training ground to walk cleanly, only Ace stood there with his waist in his arms, and there was a fat man squatting on the ground in the distance.

Ace waited for a long time, but the fat man had no intention of standing up.Ace had no choice but to walk up to David Richter and kick his shoes twice, "Stop crying, get up and clean the training ground."

David Richter was still sobbing there.

Ace really couldn't bear him, and refused to cry well, like a girl, with that kind of suppressed, tolerant, painful cry, and kicked him again, "Get up, be a man."

David Richter said while sobbing: "Don't... care..."

"What?" Ace couldn't hear what he said at all, so he had to squat next to David Richter, "What did you say? Say it again."

David Richter: "Don't kick my shoes."

Ace: ...

Ace: "What do you care about your shoes? If you fall off a horse, wouldn't it hurt hundreds of times more than if I kicked your feet. Besides, you don't need to wash these shoes."

Although Earl Richter did not expect David Richter to achieve any achievements in swordsmanship, he was his own son after all, and he never treated David Richter badly in terms of food and clothing. He also specially fought against the Georgia Knights. He said hello and arranged for two maids to live near the Georgia Knights training camp to take care of David Richter's food and clothing.

Although this does not conform to the rules of the Knights, but in the same class, both Ace and Noel lived outside the training camp, and the Georgia Knights did not think that David Richter could really pass the review of the Knights, but let him here After staying for the last six years, I turned a blind eye to David Richter.

Of course, the sour words of the other swordsmen who participated in the training were inevitable.

David Richter squatted on the ground sadly for a while, and finally stood up.Ace fetched a bucket of water from the far side of the training ground and sprinkled it on the ground. David Richter took a broom and swept the dirt on the ground into the dustpan.

Logically speaking, Ace's work requires more physical strength and a greater workload, but after Ace sprinkled the entire training ground with water, David Richter completed one-tenth of the work .

It will be dark by the time he's done.

Ace looked at the continuous yellow and white objects, and he didn't want to do it no matter what.

Ace looked around the training ground, but there was no one there.Ace found an opportunity for David Richter to turn his back on him. He took out the Hailan staff from the space bracer, and silently recited the spell: "Raibai..."

The training ground manager has no other rubbish except for the wet ground.

Esmo read: "Ancestor of the Green family, please forgive me, I didn't use the legendary staff to do these things on purpose, it's just that using the legendary staff makes it difficult for people to discover the magic fluctuations here."

Ace walked up to David Richter, watched him sweep a load of horse poop into the dustpan, and pretended to be happy: "Oh, Richter, we're done!"

David Richter turned his head in a trance. He clearly remembered that he still had more than half of the training ground to clean.

But there is no garbage on the training ground, so he should clean it up, right?

David Richter said happily: "Neumann, it's great to work with you. I usually get dark."

Ace: Yes, it would be nice to have me.

David Richter: "Hope you'll be with me next time."

Ace: Thanks for recognizing my work, but no.

Ace: "I also hope you can score 5 points next time." With David Richter's current level, it is almost impossible to get 4 points from Earl Rose's Grand Knight.

David Richter: "Impossible."

Ace: "Let's set a small goal first."

David Richter squatted on the ground again and became a potato, "It is impossible for me to become a Juggernaut man."

Ace: ...

Ace: Let's set a small goal first...

Forget it, he was too lazy to talk to David Richter.Ace thought that David Richter often squatted on the training ground, and hadn't squatted before, so he walked towards the gate of the Georgia Knights training camp. Nou should still be waiting for him.

It was a light brown carriage with intricate patterns engraved on the carriage, and four vigorous white horses were pulling the carriage in front, with long light gray manes hanging loose, looking very impressive.

Ace greeted the coachman and got into the carriage.

Seeing Ace coming, Nou hurriedly opened the curtain on the carriage to breathe.

"I was glad you were waiting for me." Ace said dissatisfied, "I don't have any smell on me, okay?"

Nou didn't take Ace's dissatisfaction to heart. He was reading "History of the Pansy Empire", and he said while reading, "You are the one who insisted on staying with him."

The coachman watched Ace get into the carriage, and drove the carriage to the villa.From the window of the carriage, you can see small merchants hawking along the street, and people walking through the street with big bags and small bags, looking contented.

Ace knew that Noel's he was referring to David Richter.

"I didn't intend to stay with him on purpose. Do I still like to clean the training ground?" Ace said, "Oh, I admit, I went to the training ground to help him, so I can't see him lying in the middle of the training ground all the time. .Didn’t Commander Ross say that he can’t go to the training ground when he’s not fighting, and that’s why I met Gerald Horsley.”

"Who knew that Grand Cavalier Ross would give me 6 points and let me clean the training ground with David Richter. I feel that Grand Knight Ross is targeting me."

Nou disagreed and said, "Even if you go to the head of the Georgia Knights, you can't say that Grand Knight Ross made a wrong decision. His rewards and punishments are both fair and square."

Ace: "Okay. I'm not talking about this time. I'm talking about the last martial arts competition, three times in a row. He asked me to play with you. He clearly knew that you were the only person with fighting spirit in our class, and no one else would fight. But you still put me and you together every time. I lost three times in a row and ran [-] laps of the training ground in a row! This kind of training opportunity should be shared equally by everyone."

Noou turned a page of the book in his hand, "That's because the sword in your hand was knocked off by David Richter last time."

Ace said nana: "I want to give him some confidence. He has been losing since he joined the Georgia Knights' training camp. It is too hopeless to see no progress at all."

Nou: "You did it too obviously. Not only this time, but also before, you can win only if the punishment item is more troublesome, and you will lose if there is no punishment or the punishment is simple. Not to mention Grand Knight Commander Ross, just Horsley and the others realized that something was wrong. I heard Horsley say that day, if you fail to clean the stables and other competitions, don’t team up with you, you always win by accident.”

Regarding the strength of Ace, no one has more say than Nou.

If Nuoou and Ace leave the training ground early, they will go to the sword room to practice swords for a while when they return to the villa. Because Nuoou has a fighting spirit body, Ace can let go of the fight every time, and the two often fight one or two times. It was time to stop.

To Nou's evaluation, he doesn't need fighting spirit, he competed with Ace Guangguang's swordsmanship, the outcome is four or six points, he six Ace four.If Ace faces other people in the training camp, except for a relatively powerful third-level swordsman like Umbach, everyone else Ace will win.

Although Grand Knight Commander Ross hasn't personally tested Ace's strength, but he has a vicious vision, and he may have guessed Ace's true level, so he hates iron even more.

Ace: "I heard that the province of Westphalia is going to hold a martial arts tournament. Grand Knight Commander Ross is picking someone to go there. I don't want to be chosen."

Nou: "So you deliberately lost to David Richter?"

Ace: "Just that one time."

Nuo Ou: "You are investing, and you should not invest in him. David Richter cannot inherit the title of Earl Richter. On the contrary, the future heirs of Earl Richter will regard him as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. David Richter himself is in danger."

"I didn't think that far." Ace said, "It's just that he is alone."

Nuo Ou closed the "History of the Pansy Empire" in his hand and looked at Ace: "But you treat him well, and he doesn't understand."

Ace said with a smile: "You said that his future is so miserable, do I still expect him to reciprocate?"

The carriage gradually drove forward until it returned to Nuo's villa.
