Skeleton King

Suddenly, the Millais scholar asked again: "Ace Neumann, if I remember correctly, you are one of the swordsmen from the Georgia Knights who came to participate in the final assessment. Your surname is Neumann, then You should be from the Neumann family in Bad Soden, Westphalia, and you are the heir to Viscount Neumann."

Ace: "Yes."

The voice of the Millais University scholar suddenly became serious, "Then do you know what it takes to become a scholar?"

Ace: "You can't marry and have children, and you can't inherit the title."

Millais Scholar: "That's all?"

Ace thought about it. Most of the scholars traveled around, and they never heard of the need to go back to the Millais Library regularly or do anything.It's just that the Millais library will regularly send some scholars to give lectures in the palace, but the scholars sent are all extremely knowledgeable, and it is not mandatory.

Ace: "I don't know. My mother passed away very early. After I join the Millais library, my father will have other heirs. I don't have much obsession with power and wealth, but here , which is more attractive to me."

At this time, Millais University scholar and Ace also walked into the room with the long oval table.Because of the arrival of the scholars from Millais University, the scholars were a little agitated, but they calmed down quickly.The scholar at Millais University handed the parchment written by Ace to the scholar sitting at the head seat, and the scholar stood up and took the parchment, and then distributed it to the scholars sitting at the long oval table.

Looking at Ace's parchment, some scholars sighed in surprise, while others kept shaking their heads, looking very dissatisfied.

On the contrary, Scholar Millai looked as usual and didn't say anything.

After all the scholars present had finished reading the parchment, they took turns writing the score for Ace on a small parchment. This process took a long time.Ace clearly saw that a scholar gave him a 4 in medicine, then crossed out the 4 and changed it to a 5, and finally he changed it to a 6. In this way, two ugly people appeared on the little parchment scroll out of thin air. black ball.

The other scholars were located too far away from Ace, and he couldn't see their ratings.

Until the little sheepskin scroll was passed back to the master scholar, he wrote the final score on the little sheepskin scroll, and then he glanced at Millais University scholar, and read directly: "Ace Neumann .

History, 1 point.

Culture, 2 points.

Arithmetic, 0 points.

Medicine, 5 points. "

Ace looked at the scholars present, wondering if he passed the exam or failed with his score.In the end, the scholar on the chair said: "Although it can be seen from your parchment scroll that you don't know much about medicine, but if you know it, you know it. Make sure you don't end up being a quack."

"Moreover, in the medical article, you put forward a theory of suturing wounds with needles and threads. Although I think this method is absurd, the Ferdinand scholar thinks it is very useful. You pointed out a very good direction. He will aim at Experiment with your article."

At the edge of the long oval table, a scholar with a black goatee nodded to Ace.

Scholar on the throne: "And because of your excellent grades in history and arithmetic, especially in arithmetic, although you only got 5 points in medicine, we decided to let you become one of us."

Ace bowed to them, "Thank you, scholars."

Millais University scholar: "Congratulations."

Ace smiled at Scholar Millais, then turned his gaze to the small library nearby.

The Millais University scholar noticed Ace's gaze, and said: "This is the earliest Millais library. At that time, the scholars discovered that there was a huge natural cave at the bottom of the mountain, and secretly hid some books banned by the dynasty. Here. Even now, there are many books in the Millais library that are disliked by the royal family of the Pansy Empire and many holy orders that exist in the world, so we did not put them in the above Millais library, but in the Build a small library here."

"Ace Neumann, you are welcome to join us. You can read all the books here, and you can share all the secrets of the Millais library."

Ace turned around and looked at all the books written in the ancient magic language behind him. Some books here recorded the origin of magic, and some books were about studying sword masters, and some were related to tenth-level monsters.

Ace murmured, "I know."

……

On the hill not far from the Port of Nice, there are several villas facing the sea.These few villas are far apart, and there are thick bushes in front of and behind each villa, so that the people of Port Nice cannot see the scene in the villa clearly.

On this day, his master was welcomed back in a seaside villa.

"Little Duke Green." Angela said in surprise.

In the living room of the villa, Norn was lying on the sofa, and its sharp little claws were scraping the leather on the sofa.It has been more than two weeks since Ace left the villa, and Angela dared not take it to Eternal Night City no matter how Nuoen struggled, but it aroused Nuoen's desire to destroy.

When Nuo Ou entered the villa, he saw such a scene.Norn was destroying the house recklessly, Angela just stopped him symbolically, and then wandered into outer space.

Noou nodded, and he put the cloth bag in his hand on the coffee table in the living room.As soon as the cloth bag was placed on the coffee table, it fell down. Large and small light blue magic crystals rolled out of the cloth bag and rolled onto the coffee table. Inside the bag were countless bone-penetrating sea dragon beast horns.

Angela glanced over the coffee table unintentionally, and suddenly, her pupils shrank, and Angela found that there were five magic crystals rolling out of the cloth bag, which were of level [-].Although Nuoou is a level [-] swordsman, having a level [-] combat power is completely different from killing a level [-] monster. What's more, in the sea, the bone-penetrating sea dragon beast has an inherent advantage.If these bone-penetrating sea dragon beasts were hunted and killed by Noou alone, then his strength is definitely much stronger than the average sixth-level swordsman.

Angela's heart trembled slightly. Although because of Ace, her status as an alchemist, her status in Evernight City was second only to General Arnold, and many higher-level undead creatures respected her, but this did not mean that Anji La will be high-minded and low-handed.This is not only because of Nou's strength, but also because Angela knows that Ace attaches great importance to Nou.

Noou took off the cloak on his body, hung it on the shelf, and then sat on the only intact single sofa in the living room.

Angela bowed to Nuoou, "Little Duke Green, do you need black tea?"

Nou then looked at Angela carefully.Unlike the last time they met, when Nuo Ou saw Angela last time, she was still a budding flower bud, although young and attractive, it still needs to be carefully tasted.Now Angela is a fully blooming flower, her brown eyes are sometimes like mist, making people want to find out, and sometimes flashing a sly light, making people feel playful.And the corners of her eyes are slightly raised, coupled with her delicate nose and lips suitable for kissing, it makes people feel charming and enchanting.

As they get older, Angela and Angelika are less and less like sisters. Angelica is hidden in layers of skirts every day, and she is always so elegant.And Angela, probably at the beach right now, she's just wearing a cool halterneck dress, but it suits her just fine.The girl's round shoulders are covered with creamy skin, and the gathered belt sets off her slender waist. She doesn't even need to be cinched like the ladies of the imperial capital to have a curvy figure that women envy.

The most important thing is that Angela has a kind of unrestrained and wild beauty.Her behavior conforms to the rules of the nobility, but she is not like the carefully raised maid in the nobility family. Even when Nuo Ou looked at her, her eyes were not cautious.It might not be good for other people to do this, but for Angela who has an extraordinary appearance, men, especially nobles, will have a deeper desire to conquer.

Nuo's thick eyelashes drooped, and he thought, this is really a stunner.

Nuo Ou said: "No need for black tea."

Angela was a little overwhelmed, "The young master asked all the servants in the villa to take vacation."

According to the rules, the master should be served by a servant when he returns home, at least in Bad Soden Manor, when Viscount Neumann returned home.Unfortunately, Angela has spent most of the time in the dead world in the past six years, and she has long forgotten the rules that her sister taught her every day.

Nuo'ou didn't say anything, the servants in the villa left, so Nuoen could have a wider range of activities.Nou asked, "Where's Ace? Has he come back?"

Angela was not in Port Nice when they came.Angela appeared at the villa at this time, it could only be that Ace came back from the sea first.And, Norn is here too.

Angela: "A little over a week ago, the young master asked me to take care of the Nuon Palace, Nuoen, and then the young master left. The young master said that he will come back before the time you agreed."

Angela was taken aback, and stammered before she finished speaking.In Eternal Night City, she was used to being called "His Royal Highness Norn", and it almost went smoothly just now.

Nou: "Did you live near the port of Nice before?"

Angela bit her lip and didn't speak.She didn't dare to talk nonsense, causing Ace and Nou to have a rift, but the matter of the dead world is indeed their biggest secret.

Nou didn't mean to embarrass Angela, he could wait for Ace to come back and ask Ace.

Nou waved Angela away.

After Angela left the living room, she took a pastry from the kitchen and put it on the tea table. Nou didn't move, but Nou grabbed two small biscuits to eat.

Nuoou waved to Nuo En, "Nuen, come here."

Norn is also relatively close to Nuoou, not to mention they haven't seen each other for a long time.Nuo En spread his wings and flew to Nuo's side.As the Norn grew older, its wings became more and more powerful, and the wind brought by the flapping of the wings blew everything in the living room upside down.

Norn fell heavily into Nuoou's arms, only knocking Nuoou out of laughter.

This is also the reason why Nuoen likes Nuo'ou, neither Ace nor Sister Angelika can stand its pressure.Unless it is in Evernight City, only Nuoou can play with it.

Nuoou touched Norn's back and teased it with great interest, "Where did your father go?"

"Aww~" Nuo En tilted his head to kill cutely.

Nuo Ou: "Where is '嗤~'?"

Norn: "Aoooooooo~"

Nuo Ou smiled, and was about to speak again, when the sound of the door opening came from outside the villa, Nuo Ou subconsciously turned around.When Nou saw the person coming, he said happily, "Ace, are you back?"

Nuo En also flew out of Nuo's arms.

Suddenly, Nuo Ou saw Ace's appearance clearly, his expression changed slightly, "Ace, what happened?"

Ace stood at the door of the villa, his whole body happened to be facing the sun, his face was blurred.But Ace's current state makes Noou feel very uneasy, not despair, grief, like a decaying flower, with a feeling of death.

Norn didn't feel it at all, it flew to Ace excitedly, and wanted to jump into Ace's arms.But Ace avoided it, even though Norn's speed was fast, faster than most fourth-level swordsmen, but Ace just turned sideways to avoid Norn's embrace.

Norn:?

Norn was a bit confused, it didn't understand how Papa Ace avoided him, nor why Papa Ace avoided him.

Nou walked up to Ace and asked, "What happened?"

Nou noticed that after Ace returned to the villa, he consciously avoided Norn.Nuo Ou felt that something was wrong, he turned his head to signal Angela to take care of Nuo En, and then pulled Ace out of the villa.

Nice port, seaside.

The waves beat against the rocks, making a crashing sound.There are looming shadows of several villas not far away.

Ace has already told Noou everything that happened these days, but omitted the information related to the sirens, and only said that he saw books about the growth of the dragon family in the Millais library.

Nuo Ou: "So, are you sure you're sending Nuo En away?"

Ace didn't speak.

Nou: "Don't you ask Nuo En for his opinion?"

Ace didn't tell Nou how he found books about dragons in the Mi Lai library, and how he issued an S-level reward for dragon language magic in the mercenary guild. After he became a scholar, he couldn't find them in the small library either. How desperate is the record of dragon language magic.

Nou: "Do you remember what I said to you? Sometimes, I really don't like your self-righteousness."

"Nou was hatched by you yourself, and you got up three or four times every night to feed it and raise it. I hope that in the future, you will not regret your decision at this moment." After finishing speaking, Nuoou left the seaside.

On the reef, Ace was left alone again.
