Skeleton King

Ace grabbed Noou's hand that was about to reach out to the bookshelf, and said, "I thought again that everyone else in the training camp must have gone to the University of Millais. In case the number of tasks issued by the University of Millais is limited, let's go It's not good to be late."

Nuo Ou: "It's okay, as long as someone completes the task, we will have Silver Frost Leaf."

Are you a nobleman or a bandit, Ace complained silently in his heart.

Ace said: "This is not good, it is not easy for everyone..."

Noou still wanted to talk, but Ace had pulled him out of the library regardless, and asked as he walked, "Where are the two of them, David Richter?"

Nuo Ou: "I have already gone to see the Millai University scholar."

Nou didn't need Ace to drag him, he naturally walked beside Ace side by side.But Ace, he still looked back at the library, his heart was bleeding, and his eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.

Nou glanced at Ace and sneered in his heart, heh, there is a secret.

……

Not long after Nou and Ace left the Millais library, they found the Millais University scholar, which was very easy.Because the Millais University scholar is in a pub on Millais Street, and Millais Street is different from the deserted one when Ace and the others came last time, people lined up in a long queue at the entrance of the tavern.Pedestrians continued to come from all over the street.

Ace tiptoed, and through the bustling crowd he saw the people sitting in the tavern.

Ace recognized the Millai University scholar at a glance, not only because many swordsmen from the Georgia Knights training camp surrounded him, but also because the gray robe worn by the Millai University scholar was similar to that of the receptionist at the Millai Library. The two young men, the Mellon scholars of Green Castle, are exactly the same.Even without these external conditions, the quiet temperament of the Millais scholar can easily distinguish him from ordinary people.

Ace looked at the Millais University scholar in front of him, and thought of the Mellon University scholar he had seen in Green Castle. They were like snow lotus on the mountain, independent of the world.Ace thought, no wonder the common people fear the nobles, but respect the great scholars. He just saw the Millais scholars, and he felt that he was amiable, unlike those who were in the same class as those arrogant nobles.

Of course, Ace excludes himself among the arrogant nobles.

At this moment, David Richter saw Ace and Nou, and he waved to them, "Little Duke Green, Ace, here!"

Ace and Nou passed through the crowd and came together with the swordsmen from the Georgia Knights training camp.They waited quietly at the side, the Millai University scholar was talking with an old woman, and there was an old woman wearing a commoner dress and straw sandals, standing in front of the Millai University scholar.

The old woman tremblingly bent down in front of the Millais University scholar, "The greatest wise man in the world, respected Millais University scholar, I have a question for you."

The Millais scholar smiled kindly, "Old man, stand up and speak slowly."

The old woman stood up, her skin was dark, life had left traces of wind and frost on her face, her eyes were cloudy, unable to see the slightest brilliance, she was completely an old man in the twilight.

Old woman: "Dear scholar, I grew up in a small fishing village near the port of Nice. My father was a fisherman in the fishing village. When I was very young, he died in the sea. Later I married another fisherman. , and had a son, but my son just became an adult, and my husband died in the sea again. I have been praying that nothing will happen to my son, but there was a storm at sea last month, and all the fishermen in the fishing village went to sea Did not come back. Today, my little grandson told me that he is also going to sea."

The old woman's expression was still dull, but tears flowed from her eyes, flowed down her weather-beaten cheeks, and dripped on the floor of the tavern.

The tavern, which was still a little noisy, became quiet in an instant. Although the life of people in the Port of Nice is better than that of most people in the empire, there are still many poor people.They inherited the career of their ancestors and followed the path that their ancestors walked, just like a cycle, going round and round.

Even some nobles in the training camp of the Georgia Knights couldn't help thinking about this, what are they doing now?To participate in the assessment of the knight order, in order to inherit the title.

What about after inheriting the title?Marry the daughters of other nobles and give birth to heirs.

And after giving birth to an heir?Teach him martial arts so that he can pass the assessment of the knight order and be eligible to inherit the title.

So what do they have more and less than the villagers in the fishing village around the port of Nice?

Millais University scholar: "Old man, don't you want your grandson to go to sea?"

The old woman: "I don't know. I don't know the difference between living like this and waiting to die? If my grandson's child is born, will he go to sea? Will his mother also wait like this every day?"

Millais University scholar: "Old man, does your little grandson have to be a fisherman? The port of Nice Port is recruiting porters every day. As long as young people work hard, they can earn 20 silver coins a month, which is enough to feed a family. If he wants to Earning more silver coins, he can also join the mercenary regiment at sea, who are familiar with water and the sea, which most mercenary regiments lack.”

"Being a fisherman is the choice of your little grandson. As elders, we can only suggest and accept it, and cannot stop it. The choice you can make is decades ago, not to marry a fisherman, to marry a farmer, or to marry a to others in occupations that you feel are safe."

The old woman stood quietly in the tavern for a while, then turned and left.

The expression of the Millai University scholar is still calm, but there is deep pity hidden in his eyes. The tavern is quiet, and everyone is thinking about the Millai University scholar's words.

Millais Scholar: "Next."

Behind the old woman was the person from the training camp of the Georgia Knights. Gerald Horsley stepped forward as a representative. Although he came from aristocratic background, he was in front of ordinary scholars, not to mention university scholars. , His status is not considered honorable.

Gerald Horsley bowed to the University of Millais, and then said: "Dear University of Millais, I heard that you need the help of a swordsman. I wonder if we can help you."

The Millais University scholar glanced at Jerrold Horsley and a group of people in the Georgia Knights training camp, and he said: "Yes, I said it, but what I need is not easy to get, It may even put your life in danger."

Gerald Horsley: "We are not afraid of danger."

The Millais University scholar looked to the south, in the direction of the Netherlands Sea, and said: "I need a magic crystal of a bone-penetrating sea dragon beast. This kind of monster has lived in the Netherlands Sea for generations. They are of average strength and timid by nature."

Gerald Horsley: "Dear Milley Scholar, is this the help you need?"

Millais Scholar: "Yes."

At this moment, Ace suddenly interjected, "Scholar Millais, bone-piercing sea drakes are neither common nor rare in the sea, but they have a characteristic that is unique among sea beasts. Bone-piercing sea drakes The lifespan is long, and there is no bottleneck in the advancement."

There was a sound of breathing in the tavern. Many people have never heard of it. There is no bottleneck in the promotion of World of Warcraft. Even the University of Millais looked at Ace in surprise. He did not expect that some of these teenagers would have something to do with the sea dragon beast. learn.

Ace continued: "When the bone-piercing sea dragon was born, it was a first-level monster, but I have read its records in books. Hundreds of years ago, a ninth-level bone-piercing sea dragon appeared on the port of Nice. I don’t know what level the bone-penetrating sea dragon beast’s magic crystal is needed by Millai University scholars?”

Many swordsmen in the Georgia Knights training camp revealed horror in their eyes. If what the University of Millai needs is the magic crystal of the ninth-level bone-penetrating sea dragon beast, their little people, including Nuoou, are not enough for the ninth-level The bone-penetrating sea dragon beast is stuffed between its teeth.

University scholar of Millais: "The magic crystals of bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts all contain the energy I need, it's just a matter of quantity. I need all the magic crystals of bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts of all levels."

Ace: "Excuse me, Scholar Millais, after we retrieve the magic crystal of the bone-penetrating sea dragon, can I ask you to do something within our capabilities?"

Millais Scholar: "Yes."

Ace: "Scholar Millais, we need a silver frost leaf. May I ask what level of bone-piercing sea dragon beast's magic crystal can be exchanged for a silver frost leaf?"

The Millai University scholar thought for a while, and said: "Every scholar will receive 100 pieces of silver frost leaves after getting the title of a university scholar. Coincidentally, I haven't used up any of my silver frost leaves yet, so I can exchange them for you In this way, 500 first-level bone-penetrating sea dragon beast magic crystals can be exchanged for a silver frost leaf with me, one second-level bone-penetrating sea dragon beast magic crystal is equivalent to 10 first-level bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts, and one third-level bone-penetrating sea dragon beast The beast's magic crystal is equivalent to 100 first-level ones, and so on, what do you think?"

Ace glanced at Nou, and then exchanged glances with other people in the Georgia Knights training camp. Although many people frowned and felt that this condition was too difficult to achieve, no one raised any objections.

Ace said: "Thanks to Millais University scholars, we accept your conditions."

Ace then left the tavern with the rest of the Georgia Knights.The others bid farewell to Nou and Ace, and then went to the port of Nice to find a ship that could go to sea.

Nuoou also wanted to go to the beach, but was stopped by Ace, "Wait a minute."

Nou looked at Ace suspiciously, is there anything else?

Ace stood in the middle of Mi Lai Street, looked left and right, and then pulled Nou into a shop.There are many strange little things in the window of this shop, which looks like a grocery store.

Nou: "This is?"

Ace: "Don't worry, it's best to do some preparations before going to the bone-piercing sea drake."
