Skeleton King

The exterior of the carriage is a low-key light brown, but the interior is covered with precious blankets from the imperial capital of the Finger Empire, and even the cushions on the footrests are exquisitely embroidered.

A pair of hands with well-defined knuckles and as white as jade picked up a letter.Each nail of these hands is properly trimmed, and there are healthy little suns on the nails, and the fingers are like handicrafts at the Imperial Capital Expo, without any blemishes.

These hands slowly opened the letter——

To Lord Neumann:

I have been knighted in the Order of Westphalia.The head of the Westphalian Knights taught me a lot, he asked me to go to the Forest of Warcraft to complete a very important task, I could not refuse.A month ago, I had already reached the bottleneck of the sixth-level swordsman, hoping to get a breakthrough in the World of Warcraft Forest.After the mission of the Warcraft Forest is over, I will definitely go to the imperial capital and follow the adults.Hope I still have this honor.

Sincerely, Alter

After reading the letter, Ace folded the letter back to its original shape.

On the small table in the carriage were some fruits and a very delicate fruit knife.Ace flicked the folded letter on the fruit knife, and the letter turned into countless white butterflies, flying out of the carriage.

Nuo Ou glanced at the scene where the butterflies were dancing, and looked away again.

Ace: "Nothing to ask?"

Nuo Ou flipped through the book in his hand and said indifferently, "Who wrote the letter?"

"It started a long time ago." Ace said: "I didn't like to practice swords when I was a child, but Viscount Neumann would always send purification potions, and I couldn't throw it away, not to mention spending gold coins Bought, wasted too much magic potion, the magic elements in the manor will have slight changes..."

"Angelica and Angela have no talent in martial arts. If you give them to the swordsmen in the manor, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not be tipped off by others. I was very obedient when I was young. Anyway, I have never been beaten by Viscount Neumann. I also don't want to test the bottom line of Viscount Neumann. At this time, Angela told me that there is a young man in the back mountain who often practices swords there..."

After listening to Ace's rambling, Nou gave a noncommittal "hmm".

Ace: "You don't believe me?"

Nou originally didn't want to pay attention to Ace's naive question, but, "You found a very talented young man in your father's fief. You gave him your purification potion, but he didn't want to accept it."

"Well, even if it's true. He didn't accept your charity, but decided to serve you on the advice of your maid. Later, after you left your father's fief, he also joined the Knights and quickly became famous. For many years, his loyalty to you has not wavered in the slightest."

"He plans to follow you after repaying the teacher's kindness?" Nuo Ou wanted to persuade Ace to read less scripts when he was free. , Nuo Ou thought, Ace should write the script.

What Ace said is the highest level of daydreaming.

however.

Ace stared at Nou with wet green eyes like a puppy, "Don't you believe it?"

Nuo Ou just felt that his heart had been knocked down, and he was full of those charming eyes, those eyes were so sincere and so credible, making people feel how immoral it is to question all of this .

Nuo Ou heard himself say, "I believe it."

When Nou looked out the window, he felt his ears were burning.Ace didn't notice his strangeness at all, and Ace asked, "How is the Aio mercenary group?"

Nuo Ou: "150 mercenaries have broken through level 4."

Ace whistled.

Nuo Ou: "When did you break through to level 4? When the Io Mercenary Corps was first established, it was dual commanders, but you haven't certified the badge of the commander so far." The badge of the commander needs to be verified by entering fighting spirit.In other words, Ace must have at least level 4 strength.

At the ceremony for conferring the title of knight, Ace shot down Jerrold Horsley's sword. The head of the Georgia Knights personally said that Ace's current strength is at the peak of the third level and may break through the fourth level at any time.

But for at least half a year, Nuo Ou hasn't seen Ace practice sword.

Nou really didn't understand what Ace was thinking.

Ace: "No rush."

There were a lot of letters on the small table in the carriage, except for the one from Arte, all the others had been torn apart, only one letter was still stamped with wax.Noel took the letter in his hands, and the envelope was written "From Sykes Richter".

Nou shook the letter in his hand at Ace, "This is?"

At this moment, Ace was holding a bright red apple in his hand. As he gnawed, he said vaguely: "A letter of introduction from David Richter. His brother Heinrich Richter's The eldest son - Sykes Richter served in the Royal Knights Guards of the Imperial Capital. David said, 'Sikes is very good, if you need help, you can go to him.' And then give this to me."

Sykes Richter, Noel thought the name sounded familiar.

Before Nuo Ou remembered where he had heard the name of Sykes Richter, he heard Ace say, "David, hey, he's planning to do it all over again in the Georgia Knights."

Nou: "What do you mean?"

Ace went to see David Richter after the knighthood ceremony of the Order of Georgia.

At that time, David Richter's face was a little pale, and the maids prepared a lot of food for him, but he didn't move.In the half month since he was injured, David Richter's original round chin can already see the edges and corners, and his hair has grown a lot. The silver hair and silver eyes have brought him Some mysterious temperament.

David Richter: "Are you here?"

Ace: "I'm going to the imperial capital soon. I'll come to see you. I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future."

Ace's words were a little bit heart-wrenching, but David Richter smiled, "You are the only one who will come to see me now." Not to mention the other members of the Georgia Knights, it is Gerald Horsley, awarded David Richter hadn't even seen him since the ceremony for the insignia.

Ace: "What are your plans?"

David Richter: "When the Georgia Knights training camp starts again next year, I will sign up."

Ace: "However, the cut-off age for the trial of the Knights is 14 years old."

David Richter: "It's not a squad specifically for nobles, it's a real trial, a trial with a higher death rate. The trial of the Georgia Knights for civilians, its cut-off age is 20 years old."

Ace: "Still in the Georgia Knights?"

David Richter: "Still in the Knights of Georgia."

Ace: "Why don't you consider returning to the Louisiana Province? I heard that the current head of the Louisiana Knights is your sister, Claudia Richter's husband. If you return to the Louisiana Knights, Isn't it better?"

David Richter: "But, back to the Knights of Louisiana, I will never be able to inherit my father's title."

David Richter didn't want to give up on family inheritance and personal future.He was born with more than most, and he had to take on more responsibility and courage.

Ace was silent.

Go back to where you failed, do it all over again, and spend another six years.

"This is a courageous choice." Ace said.

David Richter: "Thank you for your care these years. But in the future, I can only rely on myself."

Ace told Noah about David Richter, and then asked, "What about Gerald Horsley? I heard that Prince Xiben offered him an olive branch?"

Gerald Horsley was originally prepared by Noel for the Richter family. David Richter did not get the title of knight, so this move was useless.But the image of Gerald Horsley wanting to climb has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What the Grand Knight Ross said to David Richter at the ceremony of conferring the title of knight is tantamount to referring to Gerald Horsley. Leigh's face peeled off.

Prince Xiben, on the other hand, felt that Jerrold Horsley had good potential and praised him many times in public.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

Prince Sibbon was waiting for Gerald Horsley to offer his allegiance to him.

Noel: "Jerrold Horsley...he doesn't seem to want to go to Prince Xiben very much."

Gerald Horsley was educated as a knight, and the David Richter incident also brought him a lot of criticism. He didn't like the work of a spy.Although Gerald Horsley didn't show it particularly clearly and was willing to accept any arrangement from Nou, Nou still didn't decide to send David Richter to Prince Xiben's side again.

Nou: "I thought, let Jerrold Horsley follow me first, or send him to the Io Mercenary Group. The mercenary group should also have a leader on the surface."

Ace nodded.

Nou thought of another question, "Since Sykes Richter is related to the Richter family, he should also be the heir of the old Earl Richter, and the order of succession is still ahead of David Richter? "

Count Richter had three children, the eldest son Heinrich Richter, the eldest daughter Claudia Richter, and the youngest son David Richter.But Claudia and David are both old sons of the old Earl Richter after Heinrich decided not to inherit the title, and there is a big age difference between them.

Even Heinrich's eldest son Sykes was more than five years older than David.

According to the order of succession of titles, Heinrich is the first heir, Sykes is the second heir, and then it is David's turn.

"After Heinrich Richter didn't inherit the title, Sykes Richter also lost the right of succession." Ace shook his head and said, "We didn't talk about this at the time. But I see David's meaning , this matter should be very certain.”

Ace and Nou looked at each other.

The last time Heinrich Richter appeared in the imperial capital was in 986 of the Pansy Imperial Calendar. At that time, he was already a level 9 great swordsman. Now 26 years have passed, so his current strength...

If that is the case, it is indeed impossible for Heinrich Richter to inherit the title of Earl Richter.

Nou: "I remember that Sykes Richter seems to be a member of the Royal Guards..."

"It doesn't matter." Ace threw the letter on the table aside, and said, "I'd better stay away from such a big man. Anyway, if I don't take the initiative to find him, we probably won't have a chance to meet him."

However, FLAG cannot be set up casually.

……

The members of the Georgia Knights returned to the imperial capital with Prince Xiben.

Because of the large number of carriages and the fact that many people's families had mansions in the imperial capital, they all brought a lot of things in large and small bags.The team walked very slowly, and it was not until the evening of the fourth day that Ace and the others saw the city walls of the imperial capital.

In the outskirts, there was a gust of breeze. At this time, it was almost autumn, and the tip of the grass was a little yellow. The grass was blown down by the wind, and stood up tenaciously.

The carriage was going too slowly. In order to catch up with the closing of the gate of the imperial capital, Ace, Nou, and Prince Xiben abandoned the carriage and rode directly to the outskirts of the imperial capital.

In the distance, the majestic city wall is full of a heavy sense of history, and not far from the city wall, there is a very gorgeous convoy.There are dozens of knights around a particularly beautiful carriage, and these knights all have white, ridiculous feathers on their heads, which makes them look very fancy.

But even so, no one would dare to laugh at them.

Because the pansy logo is engraved on the right chest of all knight armors, which is the logo of the Royal Guards.They are directly responsible for the safety of His Majesty Ludwig IV.

Ace was stunned the first moment he saw the convoy.

Beside the gorgeous carriage, there was a white steed, and on the horseback was a man with long silver hair. He was the only one who didn't wear that ridiculous feather on his head.Probably the person who made this capricious request thought that even without the feathers, this person would still look handsome enough.

There is no way to describe this man's existence in words.

He was also wearing a white armor, and his light silver hair was blown by the wind, revealing an incomparably handsome face.His eyes are the same color as his hair, which is also silver, but this silver color is slightly darker, but it is more mysterious and sentimental.Even if he just looks at a person normally, it seems to be full of love, which makes people sink involuntarily.

But for some reason, Ace felt that this person's heart was icy cold, much colder than his passionate and handsome appearance.

At this time, the silver-haired knight gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a beautiful girl jumped out of the carriage lively.

"Brother." The girl jumped out of the carriage in a complicated and layered skirt, and she ran towards Prince Nishimoto.

Nuo Ou turned around and said to Ace, "It's His Royal Highness Fenfur."

As usual, Ace and Nou rode on the same horse.

The moment Noou turned his head, the amazement in Ace's eyes hadn't dissipated, and his weak, almost inaudible voice was not covered by the wind, and it reached Noou's ears, "There is such an outstanding person in this world. character."

Ace's eyes were fixed on the convoy, and he hadn't recovered yet, as if he had met someone who fascinated him.At this moment, apart from that person, everything outside is not enough to move him.

Over there, Princess Fenful held Prince Xiben's hand affectionately, "Brother has been away for a long time, but he is finally back."

Prince Xiben's expression was a bit complicated, but facing his only sister, he did not remain silent, "Why did the father ask you to come?"

Princess Fenfur looked at the silver-haired knight not far behind him, with two blushes floating on her face, "With Commander Richter here, there is nothing to worry about."

At this moment, the neighing of horses came from the Georgia Knights, which attracted everyone here to look over.The front hooves of a fine horse were raised high, and it stood on the ground with only two hind hooves. The horse's hind hooves were at an angle of about 120 degrees to the ground. The blond boy sitting on the horse's back was holding the reins in his hands, with a firm face , while the person who was riding with him was thrown off the horse.

Nuoou seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be saying to the people around him: "It seems to be frightened."

Prince Xiben's expression remained unchanged.

Princess Fenfur covered her mouth with her hands, how painful it must be to fall off the horse.

Sykes Richter, the eighth-level knight, the head of the Royal Knights Guards, met the eyes of the boy on the horse, and looked at the person under the horse's hooves.That poor poor man was almost kicked by the Gale Horse's hoof just now, but fortunately he rolled quickly and avoided it far away.

But at this time, the neat knight uniform on his body had become crumpled, and a lot of grass was stained on his head.His eyes were no longer foggy, and he became energetic and energetic again. As soon as he stood up panting, he shouted: "Nuoou!!!"

Startled countless birds.
