Skeleton King

When Ace and Nou met again, the two compared the information they had collected, and both believed that the task of the University of Millais was the key to the final assessment of the Georgia Knights.

But today, Nuoou's complexion is not very good.

Ace asked concerned, "What's wrong?"

Noel took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Ace. It was a message from the Green family from outside the port of Nice.The note is not big, and there is only a short line of words on it, "On March 1012, 3 in the Pansy Imperial Calendar, Princess Mary gave birth to a daughter at the Imperial Capital Rose Manor, named Charlotte Green."

Charlotte Green?

Ace: "Is this your uncle's daughter?"

Noah didn't speak.

Ace was also very speechless about those things about the nobles of the Pansy Empire, "Can they reconcile like this?" Jonah Flynn was entangled with White Rose on the territory of Princess Mary.

But you can't go wrong if you think about it.Even if Nuo Ou has not inherited the title, no matter how outrageous and unreasonable the Keoser family is, they will not give the surname Green to a child who does not have the blood of the Green family.

Nuo Ou: "It may not be a reconciliation."

Ace was taken aback for a moment, and after a second thought, he realized that even if Princess Mary did not forgive Jonah Flynn, it would not prevent them from continuing to flirt.Furthermore, after all, Princess Mary and Jonah Flynn have a son, Gabriel Green, who has been raised by Princess Mary for these years, and they will never become complete strangers.

Ace: "A child is nothing. Before, didn't there be Gabriel Green? Princess Mary is the same to your uncle."

Nou shook his head and said: "You don't understand. According to my people in Rose Castle, Princess Mary likes girls very much, and she will definitely raise this daughter carefully."

Unlike Gabriel Green, Noel's uncle took the child with him when he left Rose Castle.If Princess Mary is reluctant, Jonah Flynn will never take her son away.

Nuo Ou: "Besides, my uncle, as long as he is given a chance, he is used to being humble, but he does not appear to be obsequious. When he was young, he was the dream lover of many girls. No one knew that Mary What is the princess thinking in her heart? This is a very bad signal."

Princess Mary's father is Prince Andreas, who owns one of the most valiant knight orders in the empire and has a large fiefdom in the north.Prince Andreas loved Princess Mary very much. When he chose a husband-in-law for her, he chose the count of a family not far from his fiefdom.Therefore, even after marriage, Princess Mary and the Earl had many disagreements, and no one dared to make Princess Mary angry.

Later, the earl died, and Princess Mary and the earl's daughter became the only heirs of the earl.When their daughter becomes an adult, she will also become the Countess of that territory.

For many years, Princess Mary has held banquets at Rose Castle every month. Many nobles are proud to have received invitations to the Rose Castle banquet. pass.

Such a woman, how powerful she is, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

That's why Nou put up with Jonah Flynn so hard. The uncle with the embroidered pillow is not scary, what's scary is the person standing behind him.

Ace said: "However, it will take at least ten years for their daughter to have an impact on Princess Mary. By then, you will already be..."

Ace paused in the middle of his words, "I understand what you're worried about."

It won't take long for Noou to pass the assessment of the Georgia Knights. As long as he has an audience with His Majesty, he will be the Duke of Green.At that time, with his own strength, the wealth of the Green family fief and the Green Knights, Nou will be one of the most powerful people in the Pansy Empire and even on this continent.

And to avoid this situation, the easiest way is to prevent Nou from passing the assessment of the Georgia Knights.

One month later, who knows what kind of tasks the Millais scholars will assign.

If this is a task that can only be accomplished in theory, if everyone in the Georgia Knights training camp fails, then people will only blame the Georgia Knights for making the final exam too difficult, and no one will say that it is aimed at Nuo Europe.Even if it is true.

In the history of the Georgia Knights, there have been several times when no swordsman passed the final assessment. This is not an exception, but there must be no level 6 swordsman among those who participated in the assessment.

Moreover, the status of a Millais University scholar is a natural protective barrier.

The vast majority of scholars kept their aristocrats at arm's length, and even less colluded.This will not only alleviate the suspicion that the royal family of the Pansy Empire interfered in the final assessment of the Knights, but also make Nuo's supporters speechless.

It's not that you were not given a chance, but that you failed the assessment.

Except for Nuo Ou, who is the son of a duke, and David Richter, who is the son of an earl, most of the swordsmen in the Georgia Knights training camp this time are descendants of minor nobles.David Richter was still in some trouble here, but his mediocre reputation was widely spread even in the imperial capital. This is also because the deeds of David Richter's brother - Heinrich Richter are too legendary .

But because of this, no one will care how hard David Richter worked in the Georgia Knights training camp later, they will only think, "David Richter? He didn't pass the final assessment of the Georgia Knights, this is too normal gone."

Ace: "It is indeed possible, but as long as the task is theoretically achievable, we can do it."

In recent years, not only Noou's strength has improved a lot, but Ace's strength has also improved terrifyingly, but no one knows about it.Ace believed that all conspiracies and tricks would fail.

Nuo Ou said: "I have to guard against it."

Ace said: "Then let's go to Millai's library to find Yinshuangye first, and then listen to his mission when the University of Millai arrives?"

Nou looked at Ace, his peacock blue eyes were quiet, but deep in his eyes, there seemed to be something burning.Ace casually looked at the towering Millai Library behind Nuoou. He reached into his arms and touched the thick money bag. He went back to the Dead Realm today while inquiring about news. I took out some more goods and traded them with the Caesar Chamber of Commerce.Right now, the last thing Ace needs is money.

……

Ace didn't know how long he had been in the Millais Library. After all, the Millais Library was in the mountains, so no sunlight could shine in. It was all illuminated by the silver frost shells on the mountain walls.

Ace only remembered that he kept breaking the magic cover on the book with the silver frost shell, and then quickly turned the pages.

The Silver Frost Shell is a one-time consumable, and it will disappear after the magic cover is broken.

Even if Ace could replace sleep with meditation, he still felt dizzy, his arms were so weak, and he was completely turning the pages of the book.Finally, Ace used up all the silver frost shells he brought with him. He hurried out of the library, walked through the long corridor, and walked to the hall on the top of the Millai library.

In the corner of the hall, there were two people sitting there, David Richter and Gerald Horsley.After David Richter was rejected by Noel, he formed a team with Jerrold Horsley. David Richter had an extraordinary background, and many people in the Georgia Knights training camp wanted to use him to get into the team. Hitter family.

Normally, David Richter would not like others approaching him purposefully, but at this time, David Richter did not want to give up any power.True pride is based on absolute strength.

As for Gerald Horsley, he is one of the two fourth-level swordsmen from the Georgia Knights this year. If it weren't for Nou's brilliance, at his age, he would definitely enjoy the reputation of a genius.

Gerald Horsley is also trying his best to help David Richter pass the assessment. He can distinguish whether it is better to have friendship with Earl Richter's son or to have friendship with the future Earl Richter.

David Richter was reading a book next to him, and Ace walked up to him and sat down, only feeling pain in both shoulder blades, and he didn't even want to stretch his waist.

David Richter looked at the book in his hand without raising his head, and said, "You have been out more frequently these two days than before."

"The library is too cramped, and I'm about to go crazy." Ace glanced at the book David Richter was reading, and asked, "What are you reading?"

""The Richter Family History"." David Richter replied.

Ace asked in surprise, "There are still these books in the Millais library?"

David Richter said: "Yes, there are basically all famous families in the empire. I also read "History of the Neumann Family". Would you like to borrow it?"

Ace waved his hand, "No interest, no time."

David Richter: "The little Duke of Green hasn't come out much recently, except for getting water, dry food, and silver frost currency, he has been in the library all the time."

Ace glanced at his arm, which was densely covered with goosebumps, and said softly, "This is really not a place for people to stay." It was even more terrifying than the world of the dead.

There are at least skeletons in the dead world. Except for books, there is not even a living thing in the library in the Millais library, no, not even a dead thing.

Ace asked, "Among those of us who came this time, did anyone get the Silver Frost Leaf?"

Ace and Nou were the first to find the Millais library, and intermittently afterwards, all the people in their training camp found it here.After getting the method to find the Silver Frost Leaf, some people just gave up and wanted to wait for the University of Millais to come to the Port of Nice. Some people directly exchanged gold coins for some Silver Frost shells in the Port of Nice, and came to the Millais Library to try their luck.

David Richter: "No, I haven't heard of anyone finding it. Maybe someone found it, but it was kept secret, so no one found it. But the chances of this are too low. I feel that they find it every day at Millais Books. Staying in the library for an hour is considered a lot of time, and you can read a few books. How about you, how many silver frost shells have you exchanged with the little Duke Green?"

Ace stretched out his hand and made a "three" gesture.

David Richter: "It's okay, it's okay, there are only 3 silver frost shells, and it's less than 4 when converted into gold coins."

Ace said unhappily: "Who said it was 300? Nou and I bought [-] million gold coins in exchange for silver frost shells for the first time. Later, I asked the people from the Caesar Chamber of Commerce to continue to look for the ones on the list in the Millai library. I don’t even know how many silver frost shells I’ve owned.”

David Richter: "Are you crazy? You can't even hear a splash for this money."

Ace: "If you had this money, would you spend it?"

A small noble family has an income of tens of thousands of gold coins a year, so they will definitely not give too much money to their heirs. 1 million gold coins, even in the eyes of nobles, is a very high price.What's more, the money spent is no different from sending it directly to the Millais library.

The point is that the Millais Library has not done anything after collecting the money.

But David Richter thought about it. If he had the money, he would probably say, "Spend it!"

Ace rolled his eyes towards the mountain wall, and he knew that these noble young masters never regarded gold coins as money.They didn't waste the concept.

Before, David Richter wanted to borrow usury after spending all his gold coins in the Millais library, but was stopped by Ace. He said: "People who can only see three steps under their feet can't walk." Long term."

Ace kindly persuaded David Richter to listen, so Ace let him stay in the hall on the top of the Millais Library and let him and Gerald Horsley help with reading.Ace gave the two of them 100 silver frost shells every day, and asked them to find the predestined book.

Ace said: "Silver Frost Leaf has such a small appearance ratio that finding it from libraries one by one has the same probability of appearing as random picking. If you pick carefully, you may have unexpected gains."

As long as David Richter and Jerrold Horsley don’t write letters to ask for money from their families, they can go to the Port of Nice to make money every day, so they might as well show their bags to Ace in the Millais library Woolen cloth.

Ace rested against the wall for a while, then got up and wanted to leave.

David Richter called Ace in a hurry, "Ace, the library you came to just now is the third door on the left, you went by the wrong way."

With his back turned to him, Ace waved and said, "That's right, I just went fishing."

Of course, Ace's original intention was to stay in the hall on the top of the Millais Library, where there are extraordinarily many silver frost shells, plenty of light, and a flat floor, which is a good place to sleep.But Nou still comes here two or three times a day, either to get bread, water, or silver frost shells. Ace wants to touch fish at this time, so naturally he won’t feel the low pressure of Nou under Nou’s nose .

Ace walked around in the corridor, and soon, Ace found the library he was looking for.Ace walked in without even looking at the slogan outside the library.

The corner of Ace's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at the densely packed books in front of him with a happy mood.Nou speculated before that scholars would like poetry, as well as various professional books. These days, Ace’s mind is full of poems about the stars and the sea, or the groans of male and female lovers, and how to dissect the human body. related.

Come on, he's seen more skeletons than people who wrote books have seen living people, why should he read that stupid stuff!

Ace took a silver frost shell and smashed the magic shield. He picked out a book with a dark green cover, which looked very serious and profound.However, Ace is here to relax now, how could he watch esoteric things.

In this book...

Ace opened the book in his hand with great interest, and other people who saw the cover of the book could not imagine what was inside.On the pages of the book are two men in robes, their clothes half-opened, with expressions of joy and pain, and their parts that are usually hidden from the public are vividly drawn.

Ace flipped through the book with great interest, and on each page, the postures of the two men were different.

Ace was really eye-opening. The imagination and creativity of the Pansy Empire people are stronger in some respects than those who lived in the age of information explosion in Ace's previous life.

Ace was secretly annoyed in his heart. When he first came to the Millais library, why didn't he expect that there were such things in the library.How many learning opportunities he missed!

That’s right, the books in the Millais library are all there is, and the contents inside are also vast and comprehensive, and Ace is definitely not the only one who has these elegant interests.

It's not too late to find out, Ace thought.

It may be that Ace has been driven crazy these days, or it may be that he has no vigilance towards someone at all. It was not until someone walked behind Ace and talked to him that Ace was surprised that there was someone behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

Ace just turned the page back when he heard Nou's voice, he quickly closed the book and stood up.Ace was facing Nou, holding the dark green book behind his back.

Ace: "Why are you here?"

Nuo Ou: "I just went to the lobby. The people in the Millais library told me that the Millais University scholar returned to the port of Nice today. I came to see you and wanted to ask you, do you want to go find him together?"

Ace made a gesture to put the book back on the shelf, and said, "Then let's go quickly, the little fat man and the others have already gone, don't let other people take the lead."

Nou suddenly became interested in the book in Ace's hand, "What were you reading just now?"

Ace: "It's nothing, I was just wondering if college students would like these books, let's see if there are any silver frost leaves." Although Ace said so, he felt guilty.

Nuo Ou: "Then why don't you keep looking?"

Ace: "Aren't you here..."

Nuo Ou suddenly interrupted Ace's words, and he said decisively and word by word: "You. Think. Hidden. Private."

Ace: "No, there is no such thing..."

Ace had no choice but to watch Nou stretch his hand towards the dark green book that hadn't been put on the shelf before. Then, Nou didn't open the book, but pinched his fingers carefully under the pages.

Only then did Ace notice that the corner of the book with a small silver bookmark was exposed.I guess it was on the page that Ace wanted to read just now, but Ace was in a hurry, so he didn't see it.The silver frost leaf slid down a little bit.

Nuoou took Yinshuangye in his hand, he looked at Ace suspiciously, and said, "You want to hide your secrets."

Ace looked at his best friend's beautiful eyes, looked at the light of distrust shining in those eyes, and felt that he couldn't explain it, and was heartbroken!

Ace wanted to open the green paper in his hand to prove his innocence.Even after opening the green paper, Ace will become less "innocent".

Nou's eyes were a little sharp.

Ace...

Ace is a little distracted now.Ace is still thinking about the contents of his green paper, what is the next gesture?Even university scholars think it is very important and need to be marked with silver frost leaves.

What a cool pose that must be!Ace's heart fluttered a little.

Ace didn't take Nou's suspicion to heart. Although Ace was a little sad and angry when Nou questioned Ace, the two of them are companions who can turn their backs on each other. Silver Frostleaf he has little effect on.

The reason why Nuo Ou questioned Ace like this was mostly because of Ace's guilty expression just now.Ace was secretly annoyed that his city was not deep enough, and Nuoou's sudden appearance frightened him into a panic.

However, the most important thing now is how to send Nuoou away!

Ace was very itchy for a page he hadn't seen, which even great scholars thought was worth marking with a silver frost leaf!

Nou: "What do you want to say?"

Nuo Ou put on a frank and lenient look, but Ace didn't like him at all. He didn't do anything to sorry Nuo Ou, okay!wrong.Why do these words feel so strange!

Ace: "I think, you should go to Scholar Millai first, and hear about his mission. There is a silver frost leaf here, I think there is more, I will look for it."

Ace blinked his eyes, his eyes were very sincere, as if he was completely thinking about Nou.

Nou looked at Ace for a while, then put the silver frost leaf in his hand back into Ace's palm, and said, "No need. Since the University of Millais came to the port of Nice, he won't run away. I also think There is a high chance that there will be another silver frost leaf here, so I will accompany you to find it."

Ace: ...
