Skeleton King

In the dining room of Green Castle, the flame in the fireplace is burning brightly, and it illuminates the walls of the entire dining room red.Jonah Flynn's new bards stood by the dining room door, their silhouettes casting black shadows on the walls in the firelight.

Beside the bard is a long wooden table with a shelf on which is the sword of the ancestor of the Green family - the sword of judgment.Because of the angle, the shadow behind the Sword of Judgment is extraordinarily large, and the one between the long sword and the shelf is more like a monster's bloody maw.

Jonah Flynn has light blonde, smooth hair, and his eyes are the traditional blue eyes of the Green family. When he approached slowly, his steps were light, like an artist.His expression was gentle, as if his relationship with Nuoou was as good as it was many years ago, as if there was nothing unpleasant between them at the gate of Green Castle in the morning.

Jonah Flynn: "Look, Nou, these are the bards who originally followed you. After you entered the Georgia Knights training camp, you will not let them follow and let them go back to Green Castle."

Ace interjected: "Uncle Flynn, I know them. Some of their poems are also circulated in the city of Bremen, saying that Noel travels with at least 100 servants, requires knights to protect his safety, and chefs cook delicious dishes. , and bards, bards must not only write enduring poems, but also play music. It’s just that every time I go out with Nuoou, he doesn’t bring these people with me, so I don’t even have the capital to show off. No."

Ace roughly understands Jonah Flynn's thoughts, and his feelings for Nou are also very complicated. Nou is not only the eldest son of his brother who has a friendly relationship with him, but also the biggest obstacle for his son to inherit the Green family.He had been hesitant before, he didn't want Nuoou to die, but he didn't want him to inherit the title.

In the end, Jonah Flynn came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, and he killed Nou.If Nou loses his inheritance rights, it doesn't matter if he lives or not.

However, what makes Jonah Flynn hate the most is that Nou has the same amazing talent as his brother. Even if he tried his best to seduce him for fun, he still quickly gained the strength of a level 3 swordsman .When he made up his mind to get rid of Nuo'ou, Nuo'ou somehow escaped from death, and possessed the Hailan Dou Qi he had always longed for.

It's too difficult to like someone, but it's really too easy to hate someone, especially that person has everything you expect but can't get.

Jonah Flynn didn't seem to understand Ace's words. He smiled and said, "Yes, there are many girls in the eastern plains of Louisiana who want to marry Nou."

Jonah Flynn kept silent about how he asked these bards to recite Nou's deeds on the eastern plains. At Nou's age, although he is already a fourth-level swordsman, he can achieve any great deeds. It's those things that are extravagant and wasteful.Fortunately, the people in the eastern plains of the Louisiana province are still rich, and they are very sincere to the Green family, so they are not dissatisfied with the young Duke of Green.

On the contrary, quite a few girls on the eastern plains were fascinated by the pictures depicted in these poems, and they also had a vague affection for the rare little Duke Green.

What kind of talented and handsome boy will the little Duke Green be.

After Jonah Flynn knew all this, he was so angry that he was completely speechless, and he asked the group of bards to return directly to Green Castle.At this moment, Jonah Flynn clapped his hands and asked the bards to tell some interesting stories about the history of the Green family. Although he had given up on killing Nou, he was still very willing to be able to take care of Nou. .

Ace was chewing the steak recklessly. He wanted to hint with his eyes that it was wrong that Nou had a bard, but Nou somehow kept looking down at the steak on the plate instead of looking at Ace.

Ace sat his butt a little forward, his waist sank, and the dining table in the Green Castle restaurant was too long, and it was inconvenient for him to kick Nou off, so Ace kicked forward hard.

"Dum—" There was the sound of a fork falling on the plate.

Noel recovered from his contemplation, he saw Jonah Flynn's fork dropped on the dinner plate, he looked at Ace with a half-smile, and Ace cut the already cut steak into smaller pieces Piece by piece, as if in a bad mood.Nou didn't know why.

Ace lowered his head, cursing bad luck in his heart, he kicked the wrong person.

While cutting the steak with a knife, Ace glanced out of the corner of his eye at the bards who were playing and singing. Among them, the one-armed bard was holding a flute, and he didn't know if it was a five-hole or seven-hole flute. For Kong, is he really playing, or is he just making up for it?

It may be that Ace's gaze is too captivating, the bard holding the flute caught Ace's gaze, and the corner of his mouth playing the flute slightly bent upwards.

After dinner, Jonah Flynn insisted on sending Ace to the bedroom, but Ace couldn't refuse, so Ace had to let him go.

When Ace and Nou separated from the corner of the stairs, Ace winked at Nou and told him not to worry, and then followed Jonah Flynn to the guest bedroom on the third floor.

Ace and Jonah Flynn stood at the door of Ace's bedroom, and Ace refused to let him in, even though Jonah Flynn seemed to have something to say to Ace.Not to mention that Norn is now in Ace's bedroom, even Ace himself feels that he and Jonah Flynn have nothing to say.

It was another person in the castle who made Ace feel even more dangerous. .

Jonah Flynn is as personable as a nobleman who came out of a drama. Although he has never been named Green, but if he didn't have this skin, how could he win the favor of Princess Mary? His voice was as deep and melodious as a cello, "In this case, Ace, I wish you a sweet dream in Green Castle."

Ace: "Thanks, Uncle Flynn."

The wooden door of the bedroom was slowly closed, and Ace turned and walked into the bedroom.

Ace walked into the bedroom quickly. The quilt on his bed was wrapped in a ball of small things. Ace carefully lifted the quilt. Nuoen's two small wings protected his back, and his four small paws curled up around his body. Before, I slept soundly.

Ace breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had set up a simple formation in the room, there were no senior magicians around him, and he knew little about them. Maybe no one could bypass his formation without anyone noticing it. , kidnap Norn.

Ace sat on the floor and quietly began to meditate.

Green Castle does not lack magic elements. The green ones are wind elements, the red ones are fire elements, the blue ones are water elements, and the brown ones are earth elements. Except for the slightly less fire element, the magic elements of other attributes are very strong in the castle .

Especially in Noou's room on the fourth floor of the castle, there is a big bed in Noou's room, a mural is hung on the wall behind the bed, and behind the mural is a vertical, long wooden box. Filled with rich water elements.But the wooden box was not made of a very special material, and it was empty inside.

After thinking for a moment, Ace realized that Hailan's staff should be in the wooden box, but now there are so many water elements left in Nuo's room, it is because of Hailan's staff.Although Hai Lan's staff belonged to a magician, Duke Green put it in Nou's room. After a long period of subtle influence, it was somewhat beneficial to Nou's physique.

Ace remembered that Nou told him that before Nou decided to go to the Georgia Knights training camp, Nou's uncle proposed that Gabriel would come back from the imperial capital for a few days and wanted to live in Nou's bedroom because it was a castle The place with the best view.

When Gabriel was very young, Nou doted on him very much, so he naturally agreed.It should have been at that time that Jonah Flynn discovered Hai Lan's staff and made a deal with the man in black.

If you ask Ace, Nou shouldn't let it go. Green Castle is so big, I'm afraid there is no bedroom with a good view.Noou gave up the bedroom that day, will he still give up the title of Duke Green in the future?

But now, it's not too late for Nuoou to wake up.

Ace's magic domain enveloped the entire Green Castle, but he couldn't find the one-armed bard who just appeared.Ace was a little anxious, hoping it was just his illusion.

At the same time, Ace did not give up his observation of Nou's room.

Nuoou has been standing by the window, as if looking at the grassland outside the castle.

The magic elements in the castle slowly gathered towards Ace, which was suitable for meditation. Norn let out a small snoring sound. It slept very well and rarely turned over.

The night is very calm, and the moonlight is sprinkled on the grassland like running water.

But it was this calm that was wrong.When Ace saw the one-armed man in the restaurant today, he wanted to shout out, but Jonah Flynn was there, and the man dared to appear in front of them in a fair manner, so there was no guarantee that there would be no other backup.

Even if they had no other plans, Castle Green's usual armed forces might not be able to stop a level eight magician determined to take revenge!At that time, it will only let the blood flow here, which will only increase the casualties.

Ace had to hold back.

However, at the time of parting, Essie clearly signaled Nou to come to him. He had something to discuss with Nou. If something really went wrong, they could take advantage of the night before Jonah Flynn and the others reacted. , leaving Green Castle.

Ace was worried that it would be inconvenient for Nuo En to go upstairs, but why didn't Nuo Ou come?

Nuo Ou stood by the window for too long, even if there was moonlight outside the window, he couldn't see far away. He stayed in that room since he was a child. Could it be that Nuo Ou didn't know the scenery outside the window?

Suddenly, Ace was startled, and he realized something was wrong.

If that person has been in Nuo's room with the strong water element as a barrier, then of course he can't find him.But if that's the case, Nuoou's current situation is not good.

Ace thought for a while, and set up another magic formation in the bedroom. He can now arrange the basic formation of a big city in the dead world. This small, guard-like formation was laid by Ace casually. Xuan Ao is abnormal.

After Ace settled Norn, he thought for a while, took out the Bone Staff, and left the bedroom.

When the bedroom door closed, Norn, who was supposed to be asleep, quietly opened his amber eyes.Is Papa Ace sneaking around, playing hide and seek with it on his back?

The dragon wings on Norn's back slowly opened up. Although his body shape didn't change much, his pair of wings had more than doubled in length.Ace's father actually felt that the formation could hold it, so he didn't take it in hide-and-seek.

snort!

……

Noah's bedroom.

Nuo Ou has been a little distracted since returning to the bedroom, Ace motioned him to find him, did he find something wrong?But there were soldiers patrolling the castle every few minutes, and there were probably people loyal to Jonah Flynn, and it was impossible for him to completely avoid his uncle's eyes and ears.

Then I can only wait a little later, when the soldiers change shifts, I hope Ace will not be in a hurry.

Noou was thinking about something, so he walked to the window. This was originally Ace's habit. When he was thinking about things at night, Ace liked to look into the distance, even if the distance was dark and there was nothing.Nuo Ou always observes Ace, and unconsciously has his habit.

However, as soon as Nuo Ou stood by the window, he felt something was wrong.

Nou can’t tell what’s different, but he’s lived here since he was born, even Gabriel didn’t dare to touch his things, he’s too familiar with everything here.

But here, there has been an extremely subtle change.

Nou looked out of the window and looked at the bottom of the castle. If he jumped off now and rode on the wind horse, he didn't know if he could get rid of the person hiding in the darkness. If he had an accident outside the castle, at least he wouldn't hurt Ace. ...

"Nou Green, long time no see." However, without giving Nou any more time, someone walked out of Nou's bedroom.

The windows of Nou's room are inlaid with ordinary glass. Because of the current technology of the Pansy Empire, the color of these glasses is not pure, but colored. Under their reflection, Nou can see a man in a black robe. A man appeared behind him, who had been hiding in his room early in the morning.

Nuoou said: "It's you." Even if he didn't see the person's appearance clearly, just listening to the voice, Nuoou recognized the person.

Two years have passed, and Nuo Ou once thought that he would never see anyone again—the man in black robe who took him and Ace from the Saxon mountain, the man who made him lose his dignity and had to roll on the ground in pain, The person who tied him to the experiment table, the one who ruined Ace's appearance and almost left them with no bones left.

No wonder Ace looked weird, it seems that the man in black robe was also in that restaurant at that time.

Noou looked at the empty sleeve of the man in black robe reflected in the glass, and he thought of the bard with the broken arm at the far end of the restaurant.It's just that at that time, the face that Nuo Ou saw was ordinary, something he had never seen before, presumably the black-robed man had changed his face or played a trick on him alone.

Noou reached out to the coffee table, where his saber was.

But before Nuoou could hold the saber, his body could not move.

The man in black walked up behind Nuoou, "Although you are only in your teens, last time I taught you enough lessons." One of his sleeves swayed in the air.

Nuo Ou knew that the man in black must have his uncle's internal support to enter Green Castle, and even the man in black was specially invited by his uncle, and he would definitely not do well if he fell into the hands of man in black.

Nou: "Ace will definitely not be easily restrained by you like me. He was able to break your arm last time, but this time he can kill you."

"Be stubborn when you are about to die." The black-robed man stood behind Nou, "By the way, Ace Neumann, you seem to have a good relationship, did he tell you how he escaped last time?" of?"

Nuo Ou said coldly: "Aren't you the one who escaped?"

The man in black: "Did he never say that? Are you not curious?"

Noah said nothing.

The man in black took down the mural on the wall in Nuo's bedroom, and there was a simple wooden box hidden behind it.The man in black walked to Nuoou's side, opened the wooden box, and said, "This was originally the place where Hailan's staff was placed, but Hailan's staff is not with me now, and Ace Neumann does not have a space ring. Guess where is that Hai Lan staff now?"

Although Ace has a space bracer, the space bracer obtained from the Skeleton King's tomb is extremely concealed, and neither the man in black nor Nou has discovered its space attribute.

The Nuou couldn't move, but his eyes were like poisoned knives, wishing he could stab the man in black to death.

The man in black: "He sacrificed. Ace Neumann took the initiative to make the container of the Hailan Staff, and let the Hailan Staff share his life with him. As long as he practices magic, as long as he uses the Hailan Staff , his life will continue to pass away. You say, how long will he live, 20 years, ten years, or after tonight, only five years, or he will die in Green Castle tonight."

"Every day he's alive, his life is counting down. Noah Green, because he's your friend, he's going through this."

"Your parents, your sister, your best friend, and everyone close to you will be accompanied by bad luck because of you. Without you, they would not have encountered all this."

Once the seeds of darkness are planted, they will always take root and sprout and grow into towering trees.

Two years ago, the men in black tried to make them kill each other, dye their bright red hearts black, and keep the victors by their side.But he was careless, he underestimated the mutual trust between the two teenagers, this time, he will set up a game more carefully, and spend a longer time waiting for the highly poisonous but extremely delicious fruit.

The man in black left Nuo's bedroom, not because he didn't want to water and fertilize his seeds, but because more important guests came to find him.

In the corridor on the fourth floor of Green Castle, the black-haired boy looked like a prince walking in the night, holding a staff made of white bones in his hand, and walked slowly in front of the man in black.He seemed to be walking in his own back garden, and he didn't seem to be facing an eighth-level, hostile magician, but a stranger.

A brand-new magic staff appeared in the left hand of the man in black, which he obtained after two years in an extremely dangerous place. Ace in the shadows is the root cause of his failure last time, so it should not be taken lightly.

The man in black: "I thought you would hold Hai Lan's staff."

Ace waved the bone staff in his hand easily and freely, and a white streamer appeared on the tip of the staff, "Do you want to see my progress in the past two years?"

The curly brown hair of the man in black was slightly exposed, and his expression was like that of a curious and innocent child. He smiled and said, "It's an honor."

Ace's staff pointed to the night sky outside Green Castle, "Let's go out and talk."

The man in black nodded.

Ace jumped directly from the fourth floor of Green Castle like a big bird spreading his wings, and he soon appeared in the far distance of Green Castle, running towards the Warcraft Forest.

The man in black smiled, he was confident that Ace could not have known about his arrival in advance and what arrangements he had made.The man in black also flew out from the window on the fourth floor of the castle. He is not only an eighth-level magician, but also extremely good at wind magic. Following Ace's trail, he also went to the Warcraft Forest.

……

Nou had no idea when the man in black left the room.

Nuo Ou kept running Hai Lan's grudge, trying to restore his mobility.Nuo Ou believed that as long as he had a sword in his hand, as long as he had prepared in advance, he would not be so easily restrained by the man in black again.

After Nuoou finally recovered his mobility, even though he was still a little paralyzed, he quickly picked up the sword on the coffee table and rushed out of the room.

Nou didn't want to care whether the soldiers in the castle would see it or not, and he didn't care who was his uncle's eyeliner. He just wanted to go to the guest bedroom on the third floor as soon as possible, and he wanted to see Ace as soon as possible.

Noou opened the door of the bedroom, and the first thing she saw was Angelica, she stood quietly at the door of Noou's bedroom.

Nou was surprised at first, then delighted, before he had time to think about it, he asked first, "Where's Ace? Where is he?"

Angelica bowed quietly to Nuoou, "Go back to the little Duke Green. The young master wants you to sleep well, and he will come back tomorrow morning to have breakfast with you."

Nuo Ou felt his heart drop rapidly, "Come back? Where did he go?"

Angelica: "The young master only said that he would come back tomorrow morning."

The saber in Nuo's hand was still wearing the scabbard, but he pointed at Angelica, his heart was furious, but his voice was as deep as the ice field in the extreme north, "Ace Neumann, where did he go? "

Nuoou had never been so domineering before, threatening a noble young master's maid with a sword, but he hated such a powerless feeling so much, he didn't know what else he could do.How much Nou admired Angelica's flattery in the past, now he hates her indifference to life and death.

Angelica bowed her knees demurely, and even pulled up her skirt the same way as before, "The young master said that he will come back tomorrow to have breakfast with the little Duke of Green."
