Chapter 620 17. Skeleton King
Does the Crimson Princess know that the princess is fake?
“There are enough materials for this month.”
The Skeleton Duke put away his things, extinguished the fire in the cemetery one after another, and the stone door opened with a rough friction sound.
It's time for them to leave.
Annan and Lemon followed the Skeleton Duke out of the tomb. It closed the stone door and began to cast spells.
Two skeleton horses pulling a gorgeous carriage jumped out of nothingness and stopped in the open space.
"Please come up." Duke Skeleton invited.
For Annan, the carriage that needs lemon support to get up is just right for the tall skeleton Duke. It finally looked in one direction and stepped onto the carriage - that side should be Lost City.
The eyes of the two skeleton horses were ignited with blazing soul fire, and they began to move their bone hooves in the forest.
Annan was initially worried that they were going too fast and hit the trees, especially when they didn't even know how to avoid and crashed directly into the trees... But the running carriage suddenly appeared between nothingness, passing through the trees and shrubs.
Withdrawing his gaze, Annan looked at Duke Skeleton who was curiously observing Lemon.
“An eternal element...your summon?”
“My talent.”
“It’s amazing.” Duke Skeleton admired, “You can compete with me Tell me about Middle-earth? I haven’t been there yet.”
At this moment, the Skeleton Duke's temperament changed again, like that of an aristocratic elder, and no matter what, Annan did not feel the cold, ominous, and death-like aura belonging to the undead.
"Let's start from my perspective. I'm from the North..."
The Skeleton Duke is a qualified listener and will also comment on certain places Annan tells. .
For example, when Annan said that he had won the championship warlock, he would say that the reputation bestowed by the Tatun Empire was universal on the mainland. When it comes to Mad Dog Archduke launching a war, he will lament that many wars are due to the selfish desires of those in power. When talking about the conflicts in the Kingdom of Rekaner and the past in the North, it will say that Annan, as a small lord, has the upper hand among the major forces, and that the champion warlock deserves the title.
Finally, when talking about the establishment of Liberty City and the continuation of part of the concept of "that organization", Duke Skeleton clapped his hands in approval.
"Do you know that organization?" Annan asked it.
"I know some, but not much..."
"What's its name?"
Neither Fast nor Bronzebeard wanted to reveal the organization. name.
"There is no name." Duke Skeleton's answer surprised Annan, "Members of that organization burn themselves for great ideas. They believe that they have not achieved their goals and are not worthy of having a name."
Annan put aside one of the unsolved mysteries in his heart and continued: "Finally... for the development of Liberty City, I went to the south to attract investment and find some allies."
"You are an excellent lord. "
"Everyone said so."
"It's such a wonderful origin. No wonder you answered like that. I don't think I can find a better answer than you about what are the three thinnest books. A better answer."
"What is the correct answer?"
The soul fire of Duke Skeleton made Annan feel wisdom: "There are no real answers to my three questions. Are you willing to think and have wisdom."
"Is this difficult?"
"It's difficult... You have to know that living things die all the time in this world. Many of the things that wake up in the dead body are just a strange beast, an undead... Only the spark of wisdom that gives birth to the undead can become undead."
So the heroic spirits in Liberty City are also undead?
“Human, I still don’t know what your name is?”
"Annan, Annan Reeves."
"I am Leonefa." Annan said that he remembered the name, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "Leoneffa? Skeleton King?"
< br>
He remembered that the Crimson Princess said that Leonefa was the Skeleton King...did he find the wrong person?
“People from the southern countries do call me that.”
"But aren't you the Duke of Skeletons..."
"You told the truth, and I will tell the truth. This body is one of my five clones."
"... It’s amazing.” Annan sighed sincerely.
Five clones, that is to say, there are four clones above the epic and below the legend, as well as a body that is obviously a legend. The Skeleton King is probably almost the same as the cursed ancestor...
When you think about it, the ancestor is so powerful, no wonder he was cursed by the gods.
Annan thought of similar rumors about the Skeleton King and asked, "So you were jealous of the gods and cursed by the gods because of your wisdom?"
Talking about the events of that year, the Skeleton King still complained: "Of course. No. I was already dead at that time and went to the Kingdom of the Dead to enter the River of the Dead. However, I waited for 500 years and didn’t see my messenger. I got angry and returned to the human world, living as a skeleton.”
Well, not all legends have popular legends behind them.
The skeleton carriage running in a straight line quickly returned to the necropolis.
Skeleton King Leonefah returned to his territory, and the undead wandering on the surface surrendered and saluted him, while Annan and Lemon followed behind.
In the tomb hall, the Skeleton King asked his assistant: "Give me the letter."
The thick joints pulled out the letter, and the Skeleton King raised his head: "Go back and tell your princess that I initially accept her alliance. , let her discuss further alliance in the cemetery five days later."
It saw Annan hesitated.
“What’s wrong?”
“Can you help me hide my human identity?”
The soul fire of Duke Skeleton jumped, as if he was laughing: "Then in response, you must keep it a secret for me."
"What are you talking about, Duke Skeleton?" Annan asked confused.
In the evening, Annan, who had completed this mission perfectly, lifted Lemon's summons and returned to the oak forest to join Dracula.
“What took you so long?”
The housekeeper who had been there all day came out of the tree hole.
Annan, who had just finished telling the story to the Skeleton King, was eager to talk, so he asked the butler to set off first, and then said on the way: "I passed three tests to enter the cemetery, but found that there were several vampires there. In order to seize the opportunity, I had no choice but to accept Duke Skull's commission and go to Find Duke Skeleton near Lost City..."
There were still two hours before dawn, Annan and Dracula landed on the terrace
"You guys Are you back?"
The Scarlet Princess on the terrace put down "Seventh Night" in surprise: "Is it successful?"
"Master Annan arrived at the territory of Duke Skeleton first, and after three scenes Tested by many crises, competing for life and death with the skeleton giant and the archlich, discovering other vampires and exploring their conspiracy, taking the initiative to accept dangerous commissions, entering the core of Lost City to find the skeleton Duke..."
Annan was surprised to see the butler bragging for himself - he always thought Dracula was a rigid and reserved old butler.
The Scarlet Princess's chest rose and fell with excitement, and her cheeks became delicate and charming: "Let's get ready. We will visit the Kingdom of the Dead in three days. Annan, you-"
"I want to go back to Huadu." Annan explain.
As if betrayed, Princess Crimson looked at Annan in silence, who still couldn't forget her.
“The revenge plan is still waiting for me to implement.”
Annan's explanation made the Scarlet Princess smile again.
The innocent vampire princess was played by Annan.
