Skeleton King

It's hard to describe Nou's status in the Georgia Knights' training camp.Although most of their team came from noble families, the gap between big nobles and minor nobles was no less than that between nobles and commoners.In the early years, because everyone was still young, many people's class concepts were not so obvious, and there were children of minor nobles and big nobles who mixed together. In the past two years, between minor nobles and big nobles, different factions The disciples in the room became more and more distinct.

And Nou, as the heir of the Green family, the future Duke of Green, is a block away from other people in terms of identity.

Regardless of his background, Nuoou's current strength is beyond the reach of others.

Nou is now a level six swordsman.

What is the concept of a sixth-level swordsman?In the knight regiments of ordinary provinces, a level 500 swordsman can be a knight leader, and a level [-] swordsman is a great knight leader, and there can be more than [-] knights under his command.

Even if they practiced outside, the sixth-level swordsmen are rare and strong.

Many people can't reach the level of a sixth-level swordsman in their lifetime, but Nuoou, he is only 18 years old now, and his future has infinite possibilities.Many people in the Georgia Knights felt that they were witnessing the birth of a legend.

Nou and Ace just passed the back door of the Georgia Knights' courtyard and walked to the square.Everyone in the square could only hear the noisy voices in front of the other courtyard, and the only sound in the huge square was the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves.

Ace acts like nothing happened.

Ace and Nou stood at the side of the square. Ace randomly found a boulder and sat on it. Nou stood next to him. The two of them gestured with their hands, as if they were talking on their own.Only then did the square become lively again, but compared to before, the voices of many people became quieter.

Of course, Ace did not regard his best friend as a legend in his heart. He was talking to Nou about the Io mercenary group, "The money spent over the years has not been in vain. , a total of 108 mercenaries have reached the level of fourth-level swordsmen. The ones you brought out from the Green family have basically broken through the fourth level, and there are a few fifth-level ones. The kid we recruited at the mercenary guild together , he has a good talent, although he is only at the fourth level, but..."

Over the years, with the improvement of Ace's necromancer level, the influence of Eternal Night City has grown. Ace has taken out a large amount of goods from the dead world and sold them through Carl Caesar. These things can bring the world almost every day. The proceeds of ten thousand gold coins, the bulk of these proceeds, were used by Ace to buy the things needed by Eternal Night City, and the rest, except for Ace's cultivation, were used to fill the big hole in the Aio mercenary group for Nuoou up.

A mercenary regiment that spends all of its mercenary time on training and cannot support itself at all spends money like water.Fortunately, these gold coins were not wasted.

Ace is discussing with Nuoou here, let the Io mercenary group take two A-level missions, and go to the World of Warcraft Forest to practice.

Before Ace finished speaking, he felt a shadow cast from the side. Ace turned his head away, a little surprised, "Hi, David, long time no see."

It was David Richter who took the initiative to walk to Ace. After so many years, David Richter is no longer a little fat man. He has grown a lot taller and has become a big fat man...

But at the same time, David Richter's facial features also grew. He inherited the handsome facial features of the Richter family, as well as silver hair and silver eyes. Although he is still fleshy, there are still many sisters who eat David. Richter this one.Every time they saw David Richter, these sisters would say, "Wow! So cute!" and then put their hands on David Richter.

Ace pinched David Richter's chubby face, and asked, "Did Pansy Moon come home? Why doesn't it feel like you've gained much flesh?"

Nou's eyes glanced across Ace's hand inadvertently.

David Richter's deep, magnetic voice also adds to his charm.Many years have passed, and David Richter has matured a lot. He first greeted Ace and Nou, "Little Duke of Green, Ace." Did not go back to the Louisiana province, has been in the training camp of the Georgia Knights."

Ace encouraged: "Working so hard, you have to work hard for the final assessment! What can you do for me?"

Usually, when Ace and Nou are together, other people rarely come together without knowing it. David Richter is probably on business when he comes here at this time.

David Richter was awkwardly silent for a while, and then said: "Ace, I didn't come to find you, I came to find the little Duke of Green."

Ace:? ? ?

Ace was a little puzzled. Although Nuo Ou never missed the class in the Georgia Knights training camp, his relationship with other people was very strange, not even as good as him, let alone David Richter, who was usually quiet.What can David Richter do with Nou?

Then, Ace heard David Richter say to Noel with a confused face: "Little Duke Green, the last assessment of the Georgia Knights is a group of two people, free combination, may I With you?"

Ace: ...

Ace was incredulous that the little fat man dared to dig his wall in front of him.What made Ace even more angry was that Nou hesitated.The villain in Ace's heart is about to shout in Nou's ear, what about the official match? ! !

Nuo Ou seemed very embarrassed, and after a long time, he said to David Richter: "Sorry, I have already talked to someone."

David Richter was a bit afraid to look at Ace, although his behavior was not wrong in any way, and he did not seek Nou in private, but Ace's heartbroken look still made David Richter was a little overwhelmed.

David Richter said to Nou: "Sorry to bother you." Then he left Ace and Nou.

Ace noticed that not only David Richter, but also other people frequently turned their attention to this side. He was about to move, and he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, "What do they want to do?"

Obviously, in all the classes that Ace didn't skip, Nuoou was in his group.In Ace's heart, they are official mates. Why did the Georgia Knights have the last assessment, and many people seem to have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Nuo Ou said indifferently: "Except for the two fourth-level swordsmen, who else is completely sure to pass this assessment?"

In this session of the Georgia Knights training camp, there were two people who broke through the fourth level before the final assessment. They were sure to pass the final assessment. Besides, there was Nuoou.

Ace didn't understand, "And you."

Seeing that Ace still didn't understand, Nuo had to explain to him, "The final assessment is also a team of two. Not only can I pass by myself, as long as I don't bring you, I can also ensure that my teammates pass. They think, anyway, you They all have to hang up, why not let me sell them favors. Especially like David Richter, who was originally on the edge of the precipice of passing or failing the final assessment."

Ace: ...

Nou looked at Ace helplessly.

In the end, Ace failed to live up to this matter. Originally, Ace hugged Noou's golden thigh and passed the final assessment.However, Ace's frequent absence from class angered several knights of the Georgia Knights, especially the two knights who taught Ace their archery and riding skills, both gave Ace 6 points.

In the Georgia Knights, 1 is excellent, 5 is failing, and 6 is worse than failing.

Even if Nou can lead Ace to score 1 point in the final assessment, it is impossible for Ace to get the title of knight from the Georgia Knights.

After Nou knew about this, he was so angry that he gave Ace a cold face for two days, and went to Grand Knight Commander Ross to intercede with Ace.In the end, the big knight Ross came out and did not reverse Ace's 6-point ending. He just told Nou: "If Ace Neumann can get better than 1 point in the final assessment, he still has a chance." An honorary knight of the Order of Georgia."

It is better than 1 point, that is, 0 points, which is rare in the history of the knight orders of the major provinces.Not only strength is required, but luck is also required.What Grand Knight Commander Ross said, he also wanted Noou to give up.

All the swordsmen in the training camp of the Georgia Knights knew about this.It’s fine if it’s just an ordinary quiz, but the final assessment will involve whether they are qualified to inherit the title of the family. Many people put their ideas on Nuoou, although there are two fourth-level swordsmen in the training camp of the Georgia Knights. Knights, but the Knights also need to prevent them from cheating. After completing many tasks by themselves, it is difficult to have time to help teammates complete them.

But those rules have limited effect on a genius like Nuoou.

Ace didn't care much about the Georgia Knights training camp, even knowing that he would never pass the final exam, he didn't mind too much.Because of this, he now realizes that his teammate is a sweet potato.

Ace was half paralyzed on the rock, and said lazily, "Then why don't you sell favors to them?"

Nou glanced at Ace, "It's not like you are still there." Nou has not told Ace yet, many people have already approached him in private, and promised various benefits.People like David Richter are really aboveboard.

"We didn't make an appointment in advance." Ace said angrily. He thought that Nuoou would accompany him when he came, but he never thought that Nuoou might choose other people.

Nou gave Ace a teasing look, as if mocking him for being petty.

Ace suddenly sat up from the rock, "Since you decided to join me, David asked you just now, why are you so hesitant, you did it on purpose. You are not cheating him, you are playing with me, right?" Ace After thinking about when he offended Nou, Ace said after a while, "You don't remember what I said about your arrogance when you were young, do you?"

"Oh, your chest." Ace patted Nou's chest, but Nou caught him.Ace didn't care about it, and threw himself on Nuoou.The two of them just started fighting like no one else.

Many people in the square cast envious eyes.Although the identities and strengths of Ace and Nuoou have become more and more different over the years, their relationship is still the same as before.The innocence between them cannot be maintained, and seeing someone who can maintain it, they are also happy and longing in their hearts.

But there are also people who just glanced at it twice and then turned around.The environment in the training camp of the Georgia Knights was relatively simple. They didn't believe that after Nuo Ou went to the imperial capital and inherited the title of the Green family, Nuo Ou would not be able to detect the gap between him and Ace.

The swordsmen of the Georgia Knights training camp didn't have to wait long before the gate of the other courtyard opened again.

Grand Knight Commander Ross came in from the other courtyard. He stood in the center of the square and saw that everyone was quiet. He said, "Gentlemen, I am very glad to see you here today." He looked around the whole Plaza, stayed on Ace for the longest time.

Ace rubbed his nose guiltily.

Grand Knight Commander Ross didn't say any more nonsense, "I believe you are still more concerned about the final assessment, which will determine whether your six years of hard work have been in vain. I am here now to announce the location and mission of your final assessment."

Grand Knight Commander Ross opened a sealed letter in front of them, took out a note from it, and read the contents of the paper aloud, "The location of the final assessment—Nice City, the task of the final assessment Item is Silver Frost Leaf."

Then, Grand Knight Commander Ross told the swordsmen who participated in the final assessment of the Georgia Knights that they could choose the carriage at the gate of the other courtyard at will, and then wanted to leave.

Ace quickly stopped the Grand Knight Commander Ross: "The Grand Knight Commander Ross, Niss Harbor is so big, where should we go to find Silver Frost Leaf?"

For a swordsman like Ace who often played truant, Grand Knight Commander Ross didn't like it. "On the battlefield, collecting information is also a compulsory course for knights." He turned and left the square.

The swordsmen who participated in the final assessment had no choice but to ride on the horses next to the other courtyard, leave Bremen, and rush to the port of Nice.They thought that if they went earlier, they might be able to find clues earlier.

Ace didn't care about the horses beside the other courtyard, but directly got on the wind horse and sat behind Nou.

Ace sat on the saddle, and put his arms around Nuojiu's waist naturally. Nuoou moved uncomfortably, and said, "There are horses all around the courtyard, you can ride by yourself."

Ace said indifferently: "The Gale Horse is a level three monster, so it's no problem to carry two people."

Nou: This is not a problem with the wind horse at all.

Ace saw that Nou was still not very happy, and then said: "I can't help it. Please ask Nou for something before, the little guy told me the conditions, and he can't ride a horse or other monsters in the future. I promised it, and I must keep my word. "

Nou: ...

"I am so small and possessive, it almost pissed on me to mark it. Ah, no, it did urinate on me when I was a child." Ace murmured in dissatisfaction However, there was no intention of changing horses at all. On the contrary, he was so dependent on his son, a little proud and joyful.

Nou was speechless about this.

Ace: "If Norn asks, just say that I carried you to the city of Nice, not by myself on horseback."

Esther emphasized the word "self" on purpose, for fear that Nuo Ou would not understand.

Nou no longer cares about Ace, and drives towards the city of Nice on a galloping horse.

The city of Nice does not belong to the province of Westphalia, nor does it belong to the province of Georgia. It borders the two provinces, as well as the Warcraft Forest, and the southernmost part is close to the Netherlands Sea. It also has the largest port on the mainland—— — Port of Nice.

The pansy empire obtains the supplies in the sea and trades with the magic island mostly through the Port of Nice. Hundreds of large ships are moored at the port of the Port of Nice every day. To say how prosperous the Port of Nice is, it depends on the daily payment of the big ships moored at the port. The rent is tens of thousands of gold coins, which is evident.

The Port of Nice has the most ferocious sea mercenaries, as well as a unparalleled sea market. There are countless treasures that have yet to be discovered. There are also countless businessmen who lost their fortunes because of their false eye.

However, Ace first heard about the Port of Nice, not because of these, but because the Port of Nice has the largest library in the mainland, and it is a holy place for scholars.Just like the magic island is a holy place for magicians, all scholars in the mainland look forward to making a pilgrimage to the port of Nice.

Not only from the Pansy Empire, but also from the scholars of the Finger Empire.Although the Port of Nice belongs to the Pansy Empire, the people here are open-minded and have a strong cultural atmosphere. They are very tolerant to outsiders and people from the Finger Empire.

Of course, this is also related to the geographical location and history of the Port of Nice.

This is a romantic, legendary port city.There have always been legends in the Port of Nice that not only people from the Pansy Empire and the Finger Empire trade in the sea market, but even the tenth-level monsters in the World of Warcraft Forest will also take human form to visit the sea market.

Although this rumor has never been confirmed, there are everything in the sea market, but monster eggs and cubs are never sold.Correspondingly, the port of Nice is right next to the forest of monsters, but there has never been a wave of beasts.

When Ace and Noou arrived in Nice, the sun had already set, and the afterglow of the sun dyed the sea golden.

Ace admired the sunset for a while, then turned his mind to the final assessment, "What is the silver frost leaf? Have you heard of it?"

Nou: "No."

Ace: "Why are you not in a hurry at all, not worried about capsizing in the gutter?"

Nou said: "We will stay in the port of Nice for 3 months."

Ace: "Huh?"

The final assessment time of the Georgia Knights is 3 months, which Ace and the others knew before.What Ace doesn't understand is what is the point of Nou's proposal now.

Nuo Ou: "Even if we found the Silver Frost Leaf in advance, we still have to stay in Nice Port for 3 months."

Ace and Nou have always had a tacit understanding, and Ace quickly reacted, "We have to stay in Nice Port for 3 months, and so do others. If the 3-month period is approaching and we haven't found the Silver Frost Leaf, we will Can you steal someone else's?" Ace thought about it again, and confirmed that when the assessment rules were announced, the Grand Knight Commander Ross did not say that it was a foul.

Nuoou was silent for a while, then said: "Yes."

Ace: "It shouldn't be robbed. If we can't even find the two of us, it will be even harder for others."

Moreover, "With your current strength, even the others combined are no match for you. If we snatch them all, wouldn't it be impossible for them all to pass the assessment of the Knights?" Ace immediately discovered the new rule in the rules. loopholes.

Nou shook his head and said, "It's impossible for such a situation to exist. Do you still remember chivalry?"

"Humility, honor, sacrifice, valor, compassion, honesty, justice, loyalty." Although Ace is often careless, he has always had a good memory, and he quickly silenced the spirit of chivalry. Yes, there should be examiners from the Knights of Georgia in the port of Nice, and they will also evaluate our performance in other aspects."

Knights are not mercenaries after all.

High-level swordsmen can become mercenaries, but they may not be able to become knights.

Nuoou, "Let's talk about the assessment task, do you want to go to Haishi to see?" It's been three months, and Nuoou is not so restless, and Haishi is also a good place to inquire about news.

The Port of Nice is the place with the busiest market besides the imperial capital, and Ace really wants to go shopping.

Ace stood by the street, studied the street signs, and planned to go to Haishi with Nuoou.At this moment, a wheat-colored little girl popped up beside Ace. The little girl looked about eleven or twelve years old.

The little girl saw that Ace had spotted her, and smiled at Ace.

The little girl has deep eye sockets, a straight nose, and two small dimples on her cheeks. Although she is still young, she is a beauty.But the Pansy Empire regards girls with white complexion as their beauty, and for little girls like this, they have to deduct a lot of points.

The girl's voice was like a silver bell, "Young Master, is this your first time in the Port of Nice? Do you need a guide? I am a native of Port Nice and grew up in the sea market. Merchants are the most trustworthy, and I know which products are the most popular.”

Ace looked at Nou.

Nuo Ou usually doesn't like people to follow, and was about to refuse, but the little girl is used to watching words and expressions, so she quickly introduced to Ace: "Master, you are from our Pansy Empire, right? But have you heard of it before? In the port of Nice, the best thing to use is not the gold coins of the Pansy Empire, but the silver frost shells."

Silver Frost Shells?

Although it's not Yinshuangye, the name is also related to these two things.Both Ace and Nou were stunned for a moment, they found the clue so quickly?

Ace took out a few silver coins from the purse and handed them to the little girl, "Okay, you can follow us today."

The little girl was overjoyed. She took the silver coins and said, "It's good for the young master to be called Ali. I am familiar with both the new city and the old city, so I won't let the young master's silver coins go to waste."

Ace nodded, noncommittal, he asked Ali to lead the way and take them to Haishi.
