Skeleton King

Port of Nice, villas by the sea.

When Ace left the room, more than 20 days had passed since Norn was sent away.

At that time, Nuo Ou was practicing sword in the sword room, and Angela had just put fresh biscuits on the coffee table in the living room. When she saw Ace go out, she made a standard curtsy to Ace.

Everything is so normal, yet so abnormal.

Angela is already a level [-] necromancer, and can freely enter and exit the world of the dead.These days, Angela has been back to Eternal Night City. However, His Royal Highness Norn is not in Eternal Night City. Ra was aware of what was happening.

Angela knows how much Ace loves His Royal Highness Norn.

At this time, in front of Ace, Angela didn't dare to yell as usual.

Ace walked over to the couch and sat down.The sofa in the living room has already been replaced with a new one, as is the carpet, and all the traces of Norn's existence have disappeared. Ace knows that this must be Nou's order, and Angela can't be so careful.If they went back to the villa in Bremen now, the things related to Norn in his room would probably be put away by Angelica.

By lunch time, Nuoou left the sword room.

The moment he saw Ace, Nuo Ou was obviously a little surprised, but the expression on his face quickly became calm, "You came out? But if you don't come out again, I'm going to knock on your door. Half a month is the deadline for March. We have to see the Millais scholars."

Ace said vaguely, "I thought you went by yourself."

Nou gave Ace a reproachful look.

Now, it's hard for Ace to say that he's not in the mood to meet some Millais scholar.

On the way to Millai Street, Ace asked Nuoou: "A level 3 bone-piercing sea dragon horn can be exchanged for a silver frost leaf. The silver frost leaf at the University of Millai will not be replaced, right?"

Nuo Ou: "No, so far, only 20 silver frost leaves have been exchanged."

Ace: "How do you know?"

Noel: "Jerrold Horsley. He went to meet Millai Street yesterday, and the Millais University scholar told him."

Ace was surprised: "Has he and David Richter got enough magic crystals of the bone-penetrating sea dragon?"

Nou: "No, a lot of things happened during this time. Jerrold Horsley and David Richter were in the offshore and only killed a level 3 bone-piercing sea dragon. David Richter I felt that the Bone-Bone Seadragon near the sea had been hunted and killed by others, and wanted to sail to a farther place. Gerald Horsley had to agree, because the previous Bone-Bone Seadragon was killed by him, logically speaking , and only to Gerald Horsley."

"It turned out that they were very unlucky and ran into a fifth-level bone-piercing sea drake, and both of them were seriously injured. It took a lot of effort for Jerrold Horsley to get David Richter Brought back, fortunately, no one was irreversibly injured. However, it is impossible for David Richter to continue to take this exam, he will have to be paralyzed in bed for two to three months."

Ace thought for a while, and said, "Can we help him?"

Nou didn't answer Ace's question, but instead asked, "What is chivalry?"

Ace shrugged his shoulders and said, "Justice. Well, I get it, so be it."

Nuo Ou: "I thought you would be more persistent."

Ace: "No, I used to be. But now, I can't even manage my own affairs well, so I have no right to control other people's lives."

Nou knew that Ace was thinking of Norn again.

Even if they remove all the things about Norn, this pimple will still be in Ace's heart. Maybe only when Norn comes back, Ace can completely let go.

Ace said again: "And, like we are in the same group, to a certain extent, you can help me. Jerrold Horsley can also help David Richter, it depends on David Richter's own ability, money, power or anything else he can give. Gerald Horsley is not a high-minded person, he will do what is beneficial to him Choice. I'm not David Richter's who, I worry so much about what he does."

Ace has definitely changed.

Although Ace seemed to have fully recovered, Nou could feel that something in Ace's heart had changed.Those innocences that belonged to teenagers gradually disappeared in him, and he became more and more adaptable to this era and this empire.

Nou even thought that if Ace hadn't become a scholar, he wouldn't reject becoming the heir of Viscount Neumann now.

The Millais scholar would have a drink every day in the tavern on Millais Street, which was the easiest place for the swordsmen of the Georgian Order to find him.Nou asked Ace to go in with him, "Graduating from the Georgia Knights will only have the title of honorary knight, which is not a knighthood. There are also some scholars who are honorary knights."

Ace smiled and said, "You forgot, I have two 2 points. Unless I get 6 silver frost leaves in this assessment, Grand Knight Commander Ross will not give me 100 points."

Nuo Ou: "I got 5 magic crystals of level 6 bone-piercing sea dragon beasts this time. If I come earlier, I can exchange all the silver frost leaves in the hands of the University of Millais. Just pass the exam with the piece you found in Lay's library."

Ace laughed again, and he said: "What are you thinking? If you replace all the silver frost leaves here, what about the other swordsmen of the Georgia Knights who took the exam? And the title of honorary knight is completely to me. It doesn't matter. Noou, even you, can't offend so many noble families at the same time."

"Anyway, I have become a scholar. If I can't stay at Butter Soden Manor in the future, I will go to Green Castle to take the class of Mellon University scholars and assist you. If you have children, don't be afraid that I will raise them crookedly. I can also be their teacher." Ace said.

When Ace finished speaking, Nou was not very happy.But I don't know what Nou thought, his face became cloudy again, and he looked at Ace with burning eyes, "What did you say?"

Obviously Ace wanted to go to Nuo's house to eat, eat and live. Judging from Nuo's expression, it seemed that he took advantage of him.Ace instinctively felt that he had dug a hole for himself, but after thinking about it, he didn't know what loopholes there were in his words, so he felt guilty: "Yes, I said it." After finishing speaking, Ace felt even more guilty. Feeling uneasy.

On the contrary, it was Nuo Ou, who walked into the tavern in a good mood and went to look for the scholar Millais.

Ace: ...

Always feel something is wrong.

However, Ace was confident that Nou would not harm him, so after thinking for a while, he put the matter aside.Ace leaned against the wooden pillar at the entrance of the tavern, watching the clouds in the sky change, rolled up and unrolled.

The streets of Mi Lai are still deserted, and customers come in and out of the shop from time to time.Although the business on Millais Street seems to be sluggish, since Ace bought something in the grocery store last time, he knows that there are quite a lot of collections in these small and unremarkable shops.

And to support so many collections, the daily transaction amount of these stores must be an astronomical figure.

At this moment, a person walked not far from Millai Street, which attracted Ace's idea.The man looks to be 6.2 or 6.3 feet tall, with black and shiny hair standing on the top of his head like needles. His facial features are handsome and layered. Although he can't say how handsome he is, he is still impressive. looks.

He came from the other side of Mi Lai Street, half a head taller than the average people around him, and he was holding a tall black horse in his hand.The black horse would occasionally sneeze, flick its tail, and look very angry.Riding horses is not allowed on Milai Street, and he was also very interesting. He took advantage of this loophole in the rules. Milai Street said that horses were not allowed to ride, but he did not say that horses were not allowed to enter.

Ace had already looked away, but the man with the horse came towards Ace, no, he walked towards the tavern behind Ace.When passing by Ace, the man glanced at Ace indifferently. He has a pair of emerald green eyes, but there is no emotion in them.

The man tied the horse's reins to the wooden post next to Ace, and walked into the tavern.

Ace continued to lean on the wooden pillar boredly, waiting for Noou to come out.

However, Ace waited for a long time, but he didn't see Nou's figure. When Ace thought that there was an accident, Nou came out in a hurry.

Ace smiled at him and said, "How many silver frost leaves have you changed?"

Nuo Ou: "20 tablets, just enough."

Ace noticed that Noou was a little distracted, and asked, "Did something happen?"

Nuoou frowned slightly, lowered his voice, and said, "I saw His Royal Highness the eldest prince."

Ace raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "The one who walked in just now?"

Noou nodded, and said: "The last time we met, my uncle took me and Bernadette to the imperial capital. We met at Princess Mary's place. Actually, I don't remember the eldest prince very much."

Ace: "The eldest prince came to the port of Nice, no news before?"

Nuo Ou: "No, maybe I have something to do with the University of Millais."

At this time, Ace and Nou had already left the tavern. Suddenly, Ace heard someone calling him behind him.

Afterwards, thinking of this scene, Ace really hated himself for looking back.But now, Ace didn't react at all, he only felt that the voice calling him was familiar, and he turned around subconsciously.

Ace saw the Millais University scholar and the great prince of the Pansy Empire standing side by side, and among them, the Millais University scholar was greeting him with a smile.

Ace and Nou looked at each other, and both had a bad feeling.

But Ace had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in front of Scholar Millais.

Before Ace could speak, the scholar at Millai University grabbed Ace's wrist and said to the eldest prince, "It's him, Ace, my student. We made an appointment many days ago, and we will give him a lecture today. Daddy The prince is kind, but I can't break my promise to the students, it's a pity."

The voice of the Millais scholar was indeed full of apology and no regrets. If he hadn't held Ace's hand so tightly, Ace would have believed it.

Although Ace is currently a scholar, he only needs to salute his majesty, and even less so when he meets the eldest prince.However, as long as Ace is alive, the imprint of the Neumann family on him will not disappear. As long as he is still a close friend of Nou, at the critical moment when Nou inherits the title of Duke Green, Ace will never offend the great prince of the empire. .

Facing the sharp eyes of the Millais University scholar, Ace said: "If the eldest prince has something to ask the teacher, you can talk about it. My business is not urgent."

"No need." The eldest prince's voice was cold.

The Millais scholar even said "broken promise", which shows that he really doesn't want to talk to him.When the eldest prince came to the port of Nice, he came to seek help from the University of Millais sincerely, not to offend anyone.

The eldest prince: "I will stay in Port of Nice for half a month. During this time, if the scholar of Millais University is free, you can send someone to my residence. I am willing to visit the scholar of Millais University."

The Millais University scholar smiled gently: "Thank you, Prince, for your understanding." Then he dragged Ace away.

It wasn't until Ace followed the University of Millais to the other end of the street that he vaguely heard the eldest prince greet Nou, as if inviting Nou to a dinner, Ace remembered that he didn't say goodbye to Nou.

However, Nuoou, you should understand that he can't help himself, right?
