Skeleton King

These days, people in Bremen City can always feel the tense atmosphere.

Not to mention a few days ago, the city suddenly fell under a strong coercion. Many people couldn't stand it and fell to the ground, and even found it difficult to walk upright. Even these days, there are many more soldiers and knights in the city than usual .All of them looked solemn, the farmers would not eat melons and fruits, and the girls would not smile when they winked.

In short, this uneasy atmosphere has been surrounding the city of Bremen.Even the sky was cloudy, and there were a few light rains from time to time. The fine raindrops fell on the arms of the passers-by, adding a bit of coolness to the neckline.

Today, the light rain is still mixed with snowflakes, fluttering on the street together.

winter is here.

In Nuo Ou's villa, Nuo Ou gave the servants a holiday, and those with relatives went home. Nuo Ou also bought them tickets for the most famous play in Bremen this year, so that they could have a good time. rest.

At this time, Nou and Ace were sitting in a small room on the first floor of the villa, with a cauldron between them and firewood under it.

Nou took a knife, cut some mutton, and put it into the boiling pot.The fire under the pot was a bit small. Ace picked up two thicker logs from the ground and added them directly to the original firewood. As a result, the wooden frame that Nou had built with great difficulty was crushed, and the original fire was not bad. The exuberant flame was about to be extinguished immediately.

Nuo Ou only felt that after he met Ace, his temper became better and better.

The little Duke Green looked at Ace coldly.

The two aristocratic young masters who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, even if they went out to hunt, they would have their attendants set up a bonfire, and then they would pretend to roast their meat.Today, Ace insisted on cooking for a buffet, and drove away all the servants in the villa. The two of them did it by themselves, and it took Nuoou a half-day to build a stable wooden shelf.

As a result, this bastard doesn't cherish the fruits of other people's labor at all!

Ace didn't notice the flames burning in the little Duke Green's heart at all. He lazily touched the little dragon sitting on his lap, and called, "Son."

The golden scales on the little dragon's body were much brighter than when it was just hatched, and its small tail flicked flexibly from time to time. When Ace called it, it skillfully sprayed fire on the wood.

With a bang, the bonfire that had been extinguished was lit again.

Satisfied, Ace forked out a piece of boiled mutton and ate it.

Originally, Ace wanted to chew up the mutton for Xiaolong to taste, but Nuoou frowned fiercely, but ignored him.It was Angelica who stopped Ace, "Master, Xiaolong is still young and has a weak stomach. It's best not to eat too spicy food."

In Ace's opinion, this pot of soup is far from spicy, but it does have a heavy taste, and I don't know if Xiaolong can stand it, so after much deliberation, I decided to give it up.

Ace sighed, and patted Son Long's head, "Good boy, it's not that Dad doesn't want to give you food, it's because this bad brother and sister won't let Dad give you delicious food."

Nuo Ou saw Ace more, and his energy-raising skills became better and better, but he still couldn't help rolling his eyes at Ace, "Don't talk nonsense, it understands everything."

A few days after Xiaolong was born, Nuo Ou discovered that Xiaolong's IQ level was no different from that of a six or seven-year-old human child.Others are fine, even if Ace doesn't speak, Xiaolong can sometimes understand Ace's thoughts, he is really too smart.

At this moment, facing the gaze of the future Juggernaut, Mage, and Dragon Bingleng, even Nuo Ou thinks highly of himself, and he can't help but feel frightened, making Ace less nonsense.

Angelica pounded a bowl of minced meat with a wooden stick, and Ace fed Xiaolong with a small spoon. He didn't care, "I'm not talking nonsense, my dear son, am I?"

Xiaolong didn't know whether he was too focused on eating the minced meat, or he understood Ace's words, and his head was biting there.

Nou: "Then why am I a generation shorter than you. Angelica and I are its older siblings, but you are its father."

Ace: "Because you are still young. As for you being its uncle, you and my son should not inherit the tradition of your uncle."

If someone else exposed this scar, Nuoou would either strike him with a sword, or freeze him to death with his eyes.But Ace is different. Nou knows that Ace has no malice. He mentions it from time to time and tells Nou that this is just a thing that happens to many families.

Sometimes, too much power and too much wealth cannot bring people happiness, but only make their lives more difficult.

Nuo Ou: "Even if you really have a son, I am also the uncle of the child, not the uncle. You are still a few months younger than me."

Ace laughed aloud. Although Noou was indeed older than Ace in terms of age, Ace never admitted it and always avoided this topic.

Angelica made another bowl of minced meat. The little dragon was born not long ago, but his appetite is not small, and he can eat three times his body's raw meat every day.This makes Nuo Ou can't help worrying, if the little dragon grows up, will he still be able to support the little dragon and its "father".

Angelica asked: "Young master, don't you want to give Xiaolong a name?"

Regarding Xiaolong's name, Ace said that he should be cautious and think slowly.In Nuo Ou's view, it was entirely Ace who was so happy to see Xiaolong break out of his shell that he couldn't find the north, and he didn't care about naming it.

Unexpectedly, Ace patted the fleshy wings behind Xiaolong, and said directly: "My dear son, can we call Nuo En?"

Nou:? ? ?

Xiaolong tilted his head and thought for a while, but he didn't feel good or bad, so he lowered his head and ate its minced meat again.

Angelica asked: "Master, why did you name the little dragon Norn? It sounds like the name of the little Duke Green."

Ace nodded approvingly, "Because he's Nou's younger brother."

Nuo Ou came over with a sharp eye.

Ace stopped joking. He looked at the little dragon who was concentrating on eating, and said calmly: "In ancient magic language, Norn means fate. I hope it can control its own destiny no matter what time it is."

Angelica stopped talking and took control of her own destiny. It was easy to say, but how many people in this world could do it?

Nou looked at Ace, it seemed to be comforting, and it seemed to be blessing, "It will. It is the cub of the golden dragon, even in the dragon clan, it is also the king, and it will definitely control its own destiny."

Ace picked up the little dragon and made him look at him at the same level. While shaking the little dragon, he said, "Noen, do you like this name?"

Norn spit out dragon's breath at Ace, and before it reached Ace's face, the little sparks fell to the ground.Norn is probably expressing joy for its new name, of course, it is more likely that it is dissatisfied with Ace for disturbing it to eat.

After finally finishing their lunch, Angelica sent Norn back to Ace's bedroom on the third floor.Ace and Nou didn't clean up the bonfire cauldron either, and went directly to Nou's bedroom on the second floor.

Ace sat by the window sill, listening to Nou talking about the Georgia Knights.

"The knights of the Georgia Knights have been sent to maintain order in the streets. Of course, Bremen is not as chaotic as when we came for the trial. There is no order to maintain at all. They are just looking for a monster. They suspect, no There is a monster of at least level seven hidden in Leme City." Nuo Ou said: "No one has thought of dragons yet, because it is too incredible."

Nuo Ou: "The only leader of the Georgia Knights is an 8th-level knight, but he won't be able to come back for a while. You don't have to worry about someone breaking into the territory of the Green family." Regardless of the internal struggles of the Green family, Nuo Ou is a family The number one heir, he doesn't show any signs of losing his right of inheritance now, no one dares to break into his residence.

"However, it doesn't make sense to not cooperate with the inspection at all. I originally wanted to take Norn to the suburbs to hide, but there have been new voices in the Georgia Knights recently. They think that the monster just passed by Bremen, because It is impossible for it to stay in the city for such a long time without making any noise. Therefore, although the Grand Knight Commander Ross issued an order, the people below carried it out very poorly, especially the knights under the other brigades, none of them participated in the patrol. "

Ace nodded, the situation was better than he thought.

Nuo Ou: "I'm worried now, whether Nuoen can stay here for a long time, after all, it is a monster." A monster can only grow through fighting and fighting. It would be good if it is kept in captivity and abandoned.

Ace: "I don't worry about it. The dragon's infancy period is very long. There are 1000 years, so I can stay with it for as long as possible. I will take it to the World of Warcraft forest in a few days and teach him to hunt and fly."

Nou has already given up letting Ace participate in the training camp of the Georgia Knights, and he didn't object when he heard the words, but said: "Don't go to a place where there are high-level monsters. Norn is a great supplement to them."

Ace nodded, "I'll be careful."

Ace and Nou talked for a while before finishing talking about Norn, and then Ace was ready to go back.

As soon as Ace walked to the door, he turned around suddenly and said to Nuoou: "By the way, there is one more thing, I almost forgot again." He took out a dark green bag from his arms and handed it to Nuoou.

Nuo Ou opened the bag without knowing why, and there was a thick stack of gold tickets inside, all of which were unregistered [-] gold coins from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, and there were a hundred of them.

Nuo Ou asked in surprise, "This is?"

Ace: "The food expenses for Me, Norn, Angelica and the others living here."

Nuo Ou: "But, where did you get so many gold coins?"

Ace: "It's from the secret I told you last time."

Ace wanted to say that it was given by Viscount Neumann, but the annual income of their entire family does not know if they have 10 gold coins, so how could they give him so much.Ace even thought about it, saying that he searched it from the magic tower of the man in black, which was the least flawed, but it would be difficult to explain why he would give Nuoou gold coins in the future.

Nuo Ou hesitated and asked, "What is your secret?" No Ou regretted it as soon as he finished asking. If Ace's secret involved so many gold coins, wouldn't he be suspected of misconduct by asking him now.

Ace understood Noou's true thoughts, "Don't worry. I didn't do anything to hurt others, and I might hurt myself. The money can definitely be exchanged at the Caesar Chamber of Commerce."

"As for the secret." Ace let it go, and said again: "You refused to listen to it last time, and now you have no chance."

Nou: ...

Another day passed, the snow in the sky became heavier, and the weather gradually turned cooler, and there was no tendency to warm up again.

But today, the Georgia Knights training camp resumed training.When Ace came to the training ground with his snow boots, David Richter was asking the knight who taught them archery, "My lord, why did you stop training a few days ago? This year's training tasks can't be completed, what will happen?" Postpone until pansy holiday?"

Ace was taught archery by a blond, gentle-looking knight. The knight said, "The Grand Knight Commander Ross ordered us to perform a mission, so no one has time to teach the gentlemen. As for the pansy holiday, please rest assured, sir. There will be no delay."

Ace and Nou were standing by the side of the training ground, he whispered to Nou, "Pansy holiday?"

Nuo Ou: "We participated in the trial of the Knights in March, and February is the Pansy Month, also known as the Pansy Holiday. In this month, if there is a civil war in the Pansy Empire, it will also stop the war. At that time, the knights of the Knights only did ordinary training. Usually, both the Knights and their training camps are on holiday. Various celebrations will also be held in the city."

Ace thought for a while, and said: "I remember that in March this year, many children in Bad Soden dressed up as rabbits and came to the manor to ask for candy. That day, Viscount Neumann was also there. They drove them out and distributed a lot of bonbons."

Nou: "This is also a very common celebration. More than 1000 years ago, Alexander I established the pansy empire at the end of February. To commemorate this day, there is a pansy month. In the celebrations held by the people, it is The lord who is usually unreasonable will often say some festive words and distribute some small gifts."

Ace: "So what are your plans for Pansy Month this year?"

Nuo Ou: "Of course I want to go back to the eastern plains of the Louisiana province. Do I have to hide from my good uncle?"

There was a trace of coldness in Nou's eyes.

When Pansy Moon came, his teacher would return to the Green family's fief. Even if the teacher wasn't there, Nuo Ou didn't believe that his uncle dared to attack him on the eastern plains of the Louisiana province.

Ace sighed, "Then what should I do?"

Ace always has a way to get Nuo Ou out of the hatred, Nuo Ou said doubtfully, "Pansy Moon, even the workers will have a holiday, and the mercenary group will also be temporarily disbanded. This is a day for family reunion. Aren't you going back to Butter Soden Hall?"

Ace: "I don't want to go back. Mrs. Caroline has been away for a few years. Maybe Viscount Neumann has a wife by his side."

Nuo Ou disagreed and said: "If this is the case, your father will tell you. Besides, whether your father has a new wife or not, you are his eldest son."

Ace: "I don't mind that, well, you don't understand."

It's the second time!Every time Ace encounters something he doesn't want to say, he will say "you don't understand".The little Duke Green wanted to save face and be very gracious. Although he was itching to know, he would not ask Ace again.

But Ace still felt Nou's dissatisfaction from another aspect. He looked at his second arrow that was shot down by Nou before it hit the bull's-eye, and said depressedly: "Hey!"

Nuo Ou turned his head, his face was calm, "Hand slippery."

Angrily, Ace put another arrow on the bow. He didn't care about hiding his strength. He aimed at the bull's-eye and shot it. The arrow flew halfway, but was knocked down by another arrow flying from him. .And the arrow that knocked down his arrow flew straight until it hit his bull's-eye.

Ace glared at Nou fiercely.

With an innocent face, Nuoou spread his hands, "It slipped again."

Ace threw down the bow in his hand, and pulled at Nuopi's non-smiling face, "Ah, you did it on purpose. Just now you used your grudge, don't think I didn't see it." Nuopi also Turning his hand back to twist Ace, the two of them became a mess in an instant.

"Mr. Neumann!" Soon, the knight who taught them archery stood beside Ace and Nou.

Ace stopped in an instant, picked up the bow on the ground, and stood upright.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The knight who taught them archery said, "Mr. Neumann, please stay and clean the training ground today."

Ace: "Master Knight, I have a question."

The knight teaching archery: "Say it."

Ace pointed at Nou and asked, "Why didn't he clean the training ground? He also shot the arrow at my target." Ace felt it was so unfair that he didn't even want to say Nou's name at the moment.

The knight who taught archery was very fair, "Mr. Neumann, because you did it first."

At the end of training, only Ace and David Richter were left to clean the training ground.Ace for interrupting other people's practice, David Richter for not hitting the bull's-eye with a single arrow.

When Noou left the training ground, he patted Ace on the shoulder and took the initiative to let him go down the steps, "The carriage will stop at the gate of the training camp, and I will wait for you to go back together."

Ace.

Ace is so easy to coax, he feels better, and he still has time to gag with David Richter and talk about the bitter past of the two, "Fortunately, today is not a horse riding class, and there is no need to clean up horse manure."

David Richter quickly picked up the arrows on the ground and put them in the arrow basket. "Actually, they are all similar. You will get used to it after a lot of work."

Ace: I don't want to get used to it.

Ace looked at David Richter's still chubby face, but his body was obviously much more flexible, and he couldn't help feeling that the life in the Georgia Knights training camp trained people.

When Ace returned to the carriage, he told Nou about it.

Nuo Ou: "Isn't that good? Why don't you take part in the training of the Knights?"

Ace: "Not yet, I plan to go to the World of Warcraft Forest in two days."

Nou: "So fast?!"

Ace: "It's not fast, a 'child' as old as Norn can learn to fly in 3 months. I can't let him lose at the starting line. From now until the end of Pansy Month, it's not enough It's been three months, not too long."

Nuo Ou: "What about the end-of-year assessment of the Knights?"

After his strength increased, Ace was no longer obsessed with being a scholar, but he was determined not to inherit the title and fiefdom of Viscount Neumann, Ace said: "It doesn't matter, even if you don't participate in the assessment, it won't affect the final assessment result too much .”

Nuo Ou knew that even if it was affected, Ace wouldn't take it to heart, so he didn't persuade him any more.

Ace lifted the curtain and told the coachman, "Go to the mercenary guild on Central Street."

Seeing Ace sitting back in the carriage, Nou asked, "What are you doing there?"

Ace: "It will be easier to move into the World of Warcraft Forest in the name of a mercenary."

Nuoou: "Then it's enough for you to come by yourself."

Ace: "I want to build a mercenary group with you."

There are many chambers of commerce, mercenary groups, and even the establishment of empires in this world. They were all very ordinary in the beginning, and some were even just a dinner by the fire or a conversation on the wheels of a car.

But this does not prevent them from becoming famous on this continent many years later, and passing on from generation to generation.
