Skeleton King

What Ace thought was that the fisherman's widow might just have a vomiting reaction, not necessarily pregnant, or that the child might not belong to the fisherman, but before he could tell his guess, the tavern owner got up and left.

The owner of the tavern: "Young master, the chef is looking for me. The bread and sausages for the knights are ready. May I leave?"

"Yes." The tavern owner was about to leave. After chatting with the tavern owner for so long, Ace couldn't help being a little curious about the clam, so he asked one more question: "What color is that clam?"

Tavern owner: "Back to young master, it's black, as black as ink, as if it came from the world of death."

The bread Ace was holding suddenly fell onto the plate, and the sausage inside rolled out, staining the tablecloth.Ace didn't realize it, he asked, "What's the name of your village?"

Tavernkeeper: "Netherlands village, our village is the only village in this land with the same name as the Netherlands Sea."

Ace stood up, staring straight at the tavern owner, and asked word by word, "What's your name?"

Seeing the sudden change in Ace's expression, the tavern owner felt a little uneasy, but surrounded by not only the guards of the Neumann family, but also the knights under the Governor of Westphalia, he could only reply respectfully: "Thomas, back to the young master , the villain's name is Thomas."

Ace stood in a daze for a while, then suddenly walked up to the second floor of the tavern, and asked the family guards following him as he walked, "Father booked a room at the tavern?"

The guard said: "Yes, the entire second floor has been taken down by Lord Viscount. Here are the keys." The guard handed a bunch of keys to Ace.

Ace took the key, hurried to the innermost room on the second floor, opened the door and went in. He stood by the table for a while, then turned around and said to the family guard: "Bring me a quill, a bottle of ink, and There is a stack of papers. Also, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Soon, the family guards found what Ace wanted.

Ace spread out the paper and recorded something on it. He still doesn't know the language of this world, so he uses Chinese.

Pansy Empire, Finger Empire, Netherland Sea, Netherland Village, as well as magicians and knights...

He should have thought, he should have thought, Ace walked around the table twice in the room.He just felt his heart pounding, almost out of his throat.

When Ace first traveled, he thought he had entered an unknown time and space, similar to the European Middle Ages, except that there was magic and grudge here.He didn't expect that he actually transmigrated into a book - "Sword and Magic", the last book he read on earth.

Because the language of the earth and here is different, when Ace first crossed, although he could understand what the local people said, he couldn't match what happened here with the content of the novel.What's more, "Sword and Magic" mainly talks about the struggle between the magician and the sword master on the magic island-the two most powerful forces on the island are controlled by the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire, fighting each other, and at the same time, The contest between these two forces has affected the confrontation between the two empires.

This is a game of power that only the strongest can participate in. These things are simply not accessible to Ace as the heir of a small noble.The information Ace saw in the novel and the information he now understands are not only on the same level, but also not in the same time period, so he has never thought of the novel "Sword and Magic".

Until Ace followed Viscount Neumann to the coast of the Netherlands.

The dark clam that unexpectedly appeared on the rocky beach, the son of the richest man who disappeared mysteriously, the small village with the same name as the coast of the Netherlands, and ghost babies...

Ace only read 2/3 of the novel "Sword and Magic". In the copies that have appeared, the Necromancer is the biggest BOSS. He can walk between the world and the dead world, manipulate the skeleton army, and use his own power against the entire human continent.

The people of Magic Island call him the King of Skeletons.

Ace wrote down as much as he could remember of the contents of the Skeletor Lord's tomb on paper.

In "Sword and Magic", the people of Magic Island entered the tomb through a clam, but at that time, this clam was not placed alone on the rocky beach, it was surrounded by countless undead and skeleton soldiers guarding it... …

The quill was writing on the paper with a swish swish.

Fortunately, Ace has only been reading this novel for more than a month, and the tomb of the Skeleton King is the last copy he saw. Ace roughly remembers the situation in the tomb.

Ace went through it 3 times, making sure he wrote down everything he remembered.

Ace was reading and memorizing silently. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ace stuffed the paper into his arms and said loudly, "Come in."

A guard opened the door and said, "Young Master, the Viscount is back."

Ace said: "I see, I'll be down later." He waited for the guard to close the door and go out, hesitated for a moment, took out the piece of paper he wrote just now from his pocket, put it on the candle, watched it being lit, and went out again. reduced to ashes.

When Ace walked downstairs, every table was filled with sumptuous delicacies, of course, for the knights under the Governor of Westphalia and the guards of the Neumann family.

Ace sat down beside Viscount Neumann, "Father."

Viscount Neumann gave a "hmm" and concentrated on eating the sausages on the plate with a knife in one hand and a fork in the other. He seemed very satisfied with the food here.

Ace thought for a while and asked, "Father, how is the investigation on Carl Kaiser? Are there really undead in the village?"

Viscount Neumann said absent-mindedly: "The Caesar Chamber of Commerce insisted that they hadn't seen anything. They suspected that there was a magician in the village and cast invisible magic to hide Karl Caesar. All the villagers who were present at the time said they saw nothing. When it comes to the undead, everyone sees something different."

Viscount Neumann gave a "tsk", as if he thought the matter was quite amusing.

Ace: "Father, does everyone see the undead differently? How do the villagers know that the undead they see are different? Is it because the undead look different, or are the undead people they knew before they were alive?"

Viscount Neumann stopped cutting the sausage for a moment. He recalled what the villagers said in his mind, and said, "Most of them saw dead relatives, and there were also close friends, but no one saw undead that they didn't know."

Ace: "Did all the villagers see the undead?"

"That's what the villagers said at the beginning, but a few villagers fell into the hands of the guards of the Caesar Chamber of Commerce, and they changed their words in less than half a day, and now they don't see anything." Viscount Neumann raised his eyebrows and asked: "Why do you care so much about this?"

Ace: "Isn't this the task of the governor? I'm afraid my father won't be able to complete it..."

Viscount Neumann waved his hand and said indifferently: "Graf and I are in a small team in the Knights. He is the captain and I am the deputy team. We study and do missions together. We went up together..."

Viscount Neumann didn't know whether he felt that Ace was still young, or he thought of the Viscountess, so he didn't say any more, but the knights and guards at the two tables near them laughed.Viscount Neumann said to Ace: "In short, the friends you make in the Knights will be your lifelong friends. In a few years, you will go there."

Viscount Neumann patted Ace's shoulder, "Those were the best years. So, you don't have to worry about Graf, this is just a mission." Graf is the Governor of Westphalia Viscount Neumann did not feel that failing this mission would damage their friendship.

Ace: "Then father is going to give up this mission?"

Viscount Neumann had never felt that Ace was so difficult. He said: "It's not that I don't want to take care of this matter, but this matter involves magicians. In the imperial capital, magicians may respect the royal family three points, but in the empire's most In the south, near the Netherland Sea, the magician who appeared here is likely to be from the magic island." Viscount Neumann's last sentence qualified the matter, "Unless the missing here is the Pansy Empire Prince, otherwise no one would care about this matter."

Ace and Viscount Neumann finished their dinner in silence.

Viscount Neumann wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and said, "There are not enough rooms in the tavern. I will stay at the village chief's house for the next two days. Don't run around. I will take you back to Bad Soden the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Ace sent Viscount Neumann to the entrance of the tavern, and watched him disappear into the night with his family guards.

After Lord Viscount left, the tavern became lively instantly. A villager with a good cause handed Ace a big cup, "Master, would you like a glass of ale?"

"Why did you give this to Master Neumann? This wine is too strong, and the children in the village dare not drink it." A knight feared that the world would not be chaotic, as if trying to persuade Ace not to drink, but actually used a violent method.

"Oh, this is the noble young master, how can you compare with the children in the village." It's a pity that the previous villager didn't understand.

Before Ace could express his opinion, the two men shoved and shoved.Although there is a huge difference in strength between ordinary villagers and the knights under the governor, everyone is drunk at the moment, and with a joking mentality, the knight pretended not to escape the villagers' slapping legs, and fell a "dog gnawing mud", the whole Everyone in the tavern knocked on their bowls, clinked glasses, and laughed.

Seeing that no one cared about him anymore, Ace walked up to the second floor by himself. He looked back at the people in the tavern, and everyone was glowing red and in good spirits.They may not be able to make great contributions to the empire like a wizard or a sword master, but the smiles of all of them are sincere.

But all this will soon disappear.

In "Sword and Magic", the entrance to the Skeleton King's tomb is described in this way-there is a village on the coast of the Netherlands, because the Skeleton King's tomb blocks the passage between the world and the dead, and humans and undead live together in this area land.Day after day, year after year, the living are ignorant and contaminated with the dead spirit of the undead. They cannot survive in this world, nor can they return to the world of the dead.

The living turned into skeletons, and the dead into undead.

This is a forbidden place for the living and a paradise for the dead.

But many years ago, it was called the Netherlands village, the only village on the coast of the Netherlands with the same name as the sea.
