Skeleton King

The top floor of Millais Library.Scholar Millais sat on an old chair, sipping tea lightly, while Ace was still flipping through the book that Scholar Millais had just brought out.

It wasn't until the sun was setting that the Millai scholar asked, "What do you think?"

Ace looked away from the book and said, "It's nothing. I remember that at this time 19 years ago, my father was also in the imperial capital, but he never told me about the Rebellion of Kings and the Holy Wedding Day. .”

Holy Marriage Day, the wedding day of King Ludwig IV and Queen Celia.Every year on this day, the whole country celebrates it.

Millais University scholar: "Holy wedding day? No, Viscount Neumann was no longer in the imperial capital at that time."

Ace asked in surprise, "Teacher, do you know my father?"

Millais University scholar: "I haven't seen it, but I heard it mentioned by Myron. The wedding of Viscount Neumann and Mrs. Caroline was presided over by Myron himself."

Myron?

Ace felt that the name sounded familiar, he thought for a while, and asked in surprise, "Is it a Myron University scholar?"

The Millais scholar nodded.

In addition to the Millais and Mellon scholars, the existing scholars of the Pansy Empire are Myron scholars.Myron University scholar is usually low-key, and Ace doesn't know much about him.

Ace: "I heard from my father that the situation in the imperial capital was very chaotic at that time, and the scholars in the court were also affected, so they left the palace temporarily. The scholars who presided over the wedding of father and mother were originally giving lectures in the palace, but I don't know. Knew it was a Myron scholar."

Ace never thought that Myron, a scholar, would officiate the wedding of Viscount Neumann and Mrs. Caroline, because his status as a university scholar is more than enough to officiate a royal wedding.

The Millais University scholar seemed to understand Ace's thoughts, "No, Myron hadn't won the title of University scholar at that time. After he was banned from entering the imperial capital, he returned to the Millais Library to concentrate on academics. Ten years ago Obtained the title of University Scholar."

Ace had never heard of this before, "Myron University scholars are forbidden to enter the imperial capital? Why?"

The Millais University scholar looked out the window, his eyes passed through the layers of burning clouds, and looked towards the imperial capital in the north, "Because of the king's anger. Myron is still alive, and has been protected by the Millais Library as much as possible. His Majesty Ludwig IV It was also a merciful result."

Ace was silent.He didn't ask again. If the Millais scholar didn't want to talk, it would be useless for him to ask again.

Millais University scholar: "It's getting late. You can go back."

Ace packed the tea set and bid farewell to the Millais scholar, "Yes, the student is leaving."

Millais University scholar: "Are you going to stay in Nice Port for half a month? If you have time, you can come to the top floor of Millais Library and talk to me."

Ace naturally agreed, and gently closed the door of Millai University's study room before leaving.

After Ace left the Millais library, he originally wanted to go back to the villa by the sea, but when he passed the Millais street, he suddenly remembered something.Ace looked around the streets of Mi Lai, found the grocery store where he and Nuo Ou bought the Xuanyin potion last time, and walked in again.

The old man was still in the grocery store, looking drowsy.

Ace looked around the grocery store twice as if unintentionally. This store is really miscellaneous. In addition to all kinds of potions, there are also herbs, monster fur, and animal blood. Many weapons, such as daggers, long swords, and staffs.Although there are only one or two of these weapons, but many of them have bright colors on the surface, and they are not ordinary at first glance.

What surprised Ace the most was not what was in the grocery store.

But in the grocery store, apart from the old man, there wasn't even a strong clerk.Those daggers made of level [-] animal blood and jackdaw stone were just laid out on the shelf carelessly, with almost no protective measures, as if those things were only worth a few copper coins.

Is the law and order on Millai Street really that good?Ace murmured inwardly.

Ace walked over to the counter.Unexpectedly, the old man in the grocery store still remembered Ace, he glanced at Ace lightly, "This is the second time, you should know the rules, right?"

Ace: "Yes."

Old man: "Buy or sell?"

Ace: "Buy."

Although Ace also felt that it was unrealistic, Ace just had an intuition that there was a good chance that this grocery store had what he wanted.Ace said: "Excuse me, is there any animal blood from a tenth-level monster? Don't have any impurities, and don't start to deteriorate."

The old man looked at Ace indifferently.

Ace felt that he was being ridiculed. How could he just walk into a shop and ask for level ten beast blood.But suddenly, Ace felt something was wrong. He remembered that when he bought the Xuanyin potion last time, Ace tentatively handed a space ring to the old man.

This space ring is the trophy of Eternal Night City, and there is not much space in the space ring.However, the space ring is full of silver frost shells, about 70.

The old man took the interspatial ring with a calm expression. The interspatial ring did not recognize its owner, so he could clearly check the contents inside.

It didn't take long for the old man to count the silver frost shells in the interspatial ring, and he asked, "Does this ring include it?"

Ace: "If there are enough tenth-level Warcraft blood."

The old man took the ring, turned around and walked to the back of the shop.

Ace was a little surprised and a little excited in his heart. He didn't expect the third kind of animal blood to be found without any effort.

Ace didn't wait long, and the old man from the grocery store came out with a transparent bottle that was usually used to hold potions.

The bottle was filled with more than half a bottle of red blood.With the pace of the old man, the blood swayed slightly, even though it was still some distance away from Ace, Ace could feel the powerful energy in the blood.

The old man handed the bottle to Ace.

Ace opened the cap of the bottle and sniffed it lightly. It should be the blood of reptile monsters.Ace could feel the energy escaping from the blood. The monster that provided the blood was extraordinary even among the tenth-level monsters. In terms of strength, it should be stronger than the siren.

While handing Ace the bottle containing the blood of a tenth-level monster, the old man also returned Ace's space ring.

Maybe what the old man gave Ace just now was the blood of all the tenth-level monsters in the grocery store, or maybe the old man didn't like the space ring at all.

Ace said, "Thank you."

The only material Bill needed to make the potion was the blood of a tenth-level monster.

This really helped Ace a lot.

"It's just a transaction." The attitude of the old man in the grocery store was as indifferent as ever, but he glanced at Ace's right hand, and said casually: "Your hand is injured. There are healing plasters in the store, which are applied every day. No scars at all. Want to buy some?"

The wound on Ace's hand was bitten by Norn when Ace sent Norn to Long Island more than half a month ago.These days, Ace has been following the astrology doll in the sea with all his attention, and he didn't care about his injured hand at all.

There is a black circle outside the wound, and the condition is indeed not very good.But Ace knew his body well, and knew that leaving a scar at most would not cause other harm, so he let it go.Furthermore, Ace also wanted to keep something related to Norn on his body, as a thought.

Ace: "It's fine."

The old man: "The little dragon that appeared in the port of Nice before was raised by you, right?"

Ace's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously lowered his head to hide his emotions.

Ace said, "What are you talking about?"

Ace raised his head again, and he met the old man in the grocery store. Until then, the old man's eyes were calm, and it was only common for dragons to appear in front of him.

The old man in the grocery store: "The wound on your hand, this tooth mark, can only be bitten by a dragon cub. Although the dragon clan has left the mainland for more than a thousand years, it doesn't mean that Port of Nice doesn't have people who know them and understand them. "

"It's just that I'm too lazy to expose you, and I'm also jealous of Long Island. Of course, it's also possible that you didn't meet anyone else except me."

"Dragon is the most territorial monster. Your strength is still too weak, so you didn't realize it left a mark on you. The dragon cub may be conscious or unconscious."

Ace frowned.

If Norn hadn't been sent away by it now...

"However, it is difficult for human beings to find the marks of Warcraft." The old man added casually.

Ace: "It has returned to Dragon Island."

The old man was noncommittal about this, and said: "I found out when you first came here. But it has nothing to do with me. Are you sure you don't need to buy a bottle of ointment to make your wound heal?"

Eston nodded and said, "I want one."

This time the old man didn't go to the back of the grocery store, but rummaged through the shelves, found a box, and handed it to Ace, "Apply it every night without bandages. 500 silver frost shells."

Ace paid and left the grocery store.

Ace's heart was heavy.This world is bigger than he imagined, from the most desolate northwest province of the Pansy Empire, to the richest eastern province of the Finger Empire, to the Warcraft Forest where the monsters live in the south of the mainland, to the southern overseas - magic Island, Long Island, and so many places he doesn't know.There are countless strong people in every place.

He still has a long, long way to go.

When Ace returned to the beach, the sun had completely sunk into the sea, only a faint golden afterglow shrouded the sea level like a tulle, adding two brilliant colors to the Netherland Sea.

The villa was empty, but not long after Ace came back, Angela came out of the kitchen.

Ace looked calm, and asked, "Go back to Eternal Night City?"

For some reason, Angela felt that the coercion on Ace was getting deeper and deeper. In front of Ace, she no longer dared to be as wanton as she was when she was a child.Angela thought of what Angelica said many years ago when Ace spoiled her and Angelica couldn't control her, "Angela, one day in the future, even if the young master allows you to mess around, you wouldn't dare So now, I won't care about you."

Angela didn't understand at that time.

But now, Angela vaguely understood that this day was coming.

Angela gently opened the skirt and saluted Ace. Although there were only the two of them now, Angela's movements were as regular as if countless dignified people watched at the banquet held at Bad Soden Manor many years ago. she.

"Return to Your Highness, yes." Angela said.

Angela: "The little Duke Green was invited by the eldest prince to attend a banquet at the eldest prince's mansion, and he won't be back until very late tonight."

Ace: "If Nou comes back, just say I'm asleep."

After Ace finished speaking, he took a step forward. He had passed through the barrier between the world and the dead, left the villa, and also left the port of Nice.
