Skeleton King

Chapter 228 Bill's Death

Ace remembered what General Arnold once said, what is the difference between the ninth level and the holy level?

Ninth level is already the strongest force that human beings can achieve, and more powerful existences have surpassed the scope of human beings, so these existences are called holy ranks.The holy rank is to achieve or eliminate their greatest obsession as human beings.

Ace looked at Nou, his eyes full of inquiry, "How long have you coveted me?"

Nuo Ou rolled his eyes completely out of aristocratic demeanor and ignored him.

Ace murmured, "Or maybe you picked me up?"

Although Nuo Ou didn't know what Caibu was, but seeing Ace's expression, he knew it was not a good word. He asked, "What is Caibu?"

Ace gave him popular science, "A long time ago, there were some people who didn't cultivate well, and always took crooked ways to steal other people's fighting spirit and magic power to advance, but how easy are fighting spirit and magic power to get? They just use that What kind of method is it to collect other people's fighting spirit and magic power and replenish it on oneself."

Nou sneered, "Sounds like what a Necromancer would do."

After categorizing the matter, he left the secret room directly, completely ignoring Ace shouting from behind, "Hey! You just left like this?! How come you don't recognize anyone when you put on your pants? Do you know Noah Green? !"

city ​​that never sleeps.

War is crueler than imagined.On the eve of the wedding of Prince Xiben and Angelica, Magic Island and the knights of the two empires launched a night attack.After the Knights of the Eiffel Province were wiped out in the city that never sleeps, the Finger Empire sent out a new Knight Order, the Guardian Knights from the imperial capital of the Finger Empire.Many people in this knight order almost entered the Golden Lion Knight Order, and the Guardian Knight Order can be ranked in the top ten even in the Finger Empire.

Arte disappeared unexpectedly, and the Nightless Knights were leaderless.

At the same time, hundreds of knights from the two empires also appeared outside Eternal Night City.Eternal Night City was besieged, General Arnold had to sit in Eternal Night City, and had no time to take care of Evernight City.

If it weren't for the dangerous terrain of the city that never sleeps, the two empires could not send more knights, and the city that never sleeps might have fallen.

Despite this, the knights of the two empires still attacked the walls of the city that never sleeps several times, and both sides left behind many corpses, and in the end, they all had to fight on the corpses.

If the Lich Ingersoll hadn't cast a large number of undead curses in the city that never sleeps, and Bill sprinkled a lot of magic potions on the battlefield outside the city, the situation in the city that never sleeps would definitely be several times worse than it is now.There are only a lot more mages on the magic island than in the city that never sleeps.However, there is a forbidden magic circle outside the city that never sleeps, and they may not be able to cast magic outside the forbidden magic circle, and their role on the battlefield is not as great as that of a lich.

Later, a sword master on Magic Island came up with a clever plan.They directly captured the hills near the city that never sleeps, and brought a magic machine similar to a trebuchet from the magic island. The wizards of the magic island directly cast magic on the stones, and then they used the magic machine to throw the boulder over the city that never sleeps.At that time, even when it reaches the range of the Forbidden Magic Circle, the boulder loses its magic, and can rely on inertia to smash into the city of the city that never sleeps.

Although liches are both skilled in magic and martial arts, they also have their own priorities.Both Ingersoll and Bill are better at magic than grudges, not to mention that there are far more wizards in Magic Island than them.

Every time a huge boulder is thrown into the city that never sleeps, Ingersoll and Bill use magic or vindictive energy to smash them into pieces. If there are still a lot of stones that fall, the swordsmen in the city that never sleeps will take the initiative to take the initiative to break those stones into powder .

"It can't go on like this." Ingersoll and Bill leaned against the wall of the city that never sleeps, Ingersoll said.

If it wasn't for the magic island's fear that the trebuchets would overheat and explode, there would be more boulders attacking the city that never sleeps.Bill also had a gloomy face. He had lived on Magic Island and knew the style of Magic Island better than others. "If they know that trebuchets are useful, they don't have to wait until tomorrow, they will send more trebuchets."

While Ingersoll and Bill were talking, they were hurrying to recover their magic.

Fortunately, when General Arnold came to the city that never sleeps last time, he brought little Daniel a message from Ace—if little Daniel fully cooperates with the defense of the city that never sleeps, Ace will never leave him in the city that never sleeps or the city that never sleeps. He took it with him and played with him.

No one likes little Daniel except Ace, even the few liches in the dead world can't do anything about him.Hearing this, he tensed his chubby face every day, rarely even blowing small bubbles, and uninterruptedly summoned tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers. Just now, when Bill and Ingersoll were resting, he Also temporarily took over the task of guarding the city that never sleeps.

Ingersoll looked at the serious look of little Daniel, and sighed: "I don't know how Your Highness will fulfill his promise. Your Highness doesn't even know where he is being held."

Little Daniel's strength is weaker than that of a Lich, but his magic power seems to be inexhaustible.At least Ingersoll has never seen little Daniel unable to use magic because of insufficient magic power.If little Daniel helps defend the city that never sleeps, but doesn't see Ace...

Ingersoll thought, that might cause a disaster no less than the siege of the Holy Order of Magic Island.

They can only take care of their eyes now.

But Ingersoll had already prepared for the worst.When the time comes for the city to be broken, he and Bill can activate the interplanetary teleportation array and take the entire city to the realm of the dead.The dead world is wider than the people of the magic island imagined, and they will definitely find a place to house the people of the city that never sleeps.There is no deep hatred between the city that never sleeps and Magic Island. Magic Island won the victory they wanted, and will no longer hold on to them.

Even if the war has reached such a stalemate, Ingersoll's robes are spotless and shiny as new.This is because of Ingersoll's strength, but also because of his character.On the contrary, Bill beside him looked a little decadent.

Ingersoll turned his head sideways, his ears were a bit pointed, and blood vessels could be seen on his fair skin. He looked at Bill and asked with concern, "Why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded?"

Bill and Ingersoll have been guarding the city that never sleeps together for several days, and the two liches have more or less established a friendship. "I'm thinking about something." Bill didn't deny it, and said, "You said you've heard the prophecy about the Twin Cities. Did the prophecy say the end of the Twin Cities? Did it say that this place would be destroyed in the war?"

Bill wasn't the first to ask Ingersoll about a prophecy.

Once, after Ingersoll leaked to General Arnold, General Arnold also paid great attention to this matter.Ingersoll was lazy, like an ordinary person exhausted after a long cross-country journey, too lazy to use his brain after being extremely tired, he said: "Please, how many times have you asked, I don't remember that prophecy. But Arnold, didn’t he say that His Highness will become the eternal king of this world and the world of death? If there is something about the destruction of the Twin Cities in the prophecy, we will know.”

It was a prophecy, which made Ingersoll discover that Ace really has the demeanor of a king.After General Arnold told Ace about the prophecy, Ace didn't respond.Ingersoll asked him, Ace just said: "Does the prophecy say that I will have any crisis in the future? No? It can't warn me of anything, and it is of no use to me. Different astrologers in history can still make Completely contradictory prophecy, don't take it too seriously."

At that time, Ace encountered a bottleneck in practicing undead magic. He taunted: "If the prophecy will definitely come true, I don't need to practice anymore. Anyway, I can advance through eating and sleeping, and people will continue to come to me with white flags. .”

In Ingersoll's view, if Ace believed in the prophecy at that time and wanted to enjoy the benefits, they would not be today.Ingersoll and Ace have similar attitudes towards prophecy, so if you have heard it, just be careful.

……

Ingersoll looked at the sun hanging high in the sky. At noon, the lich was at its weakest. Little Daniel was a ghost baby, so the influence was not great. He and Bill were only [-]% of their peak strength.

Ingersoll said: "According to the current situation, we can't resist the sunset. So it is conceivable that predictions are sometimes inaccurate."

Bill said, "Is there no other way?"

Ingersoll looked at Bill strangely. Unlike other liches in the dead world, he knew Ace very early, and he had known General Arnold for a long time, and he knew Bill's origin even more.Ingersoll raised his eyebrows, and said, "I can't see that you are so sincere to His Highness. If Angela is in the city that never sleeps, we can still rely on the city walls of the city that never sleeps to resist for another 2 days, provided that there are no new trebuchets."

However, General Arnold would not let Angela come to the city that never sleeps. "Only our words." Ingersoll's eyes drifted to a place far away, which was the closest hill to the city that never sleeps, and said: "We not only want to destroy that trebuchet, but also destroy that hill."

Because of Alter's disappearance, they could no longer control the Forbidden Magic Circle outside the city that never sleeps. It just so happened that the mountain top was in the area that had just left the Forbidden Magic Circle.If Bill and Ingersoll want to destroy it, they must leave the city that never sleeps.

Skeletron also cannot command the Lich, who enjoys eternal life, to die.

Ingersoll said, "Bill, what are you thinking?"

Bill didn't answer him.

The last time General Arnold came to the city that never sleeps, he not only looked for little Daniel, but also him.Except for the final battle before his death, General Arnold is a general who has never been defeated. For Bill, who is good at playing tricks and tricks, his deterrence is comparable to Ace.

"I know that you let go of what happened on the eastern plains of the Louisiana Province when the Magic Island was attacked last time. Your Highness knows it too. Naturally, this is not your fault." General Arnold said: "But, keep silent , fueling the flames, gloating, those who died will not be your fault, they are your sin."

……

Bill said: "Be prepared. Before the city is broken, we must completely transfer the residents in the city." Ingersoll nodded. He thought that Bill had the same idea as him, so he flew directly to the top of the mountain to find little Daniel.

No matter how many overlord clauses little Daniel needs him to sign, he must first coax little Daniel. This is the final battle of their transfer, and countless lives are at stake.

When Bill left the city wall, the soldiers guarding the city were distributing lunch. The food in the city that never sleeps is good, not to mention it is wartime.On the baked golden potatoes, a lot of curry beef juice was poured. There must be no plates on the city wall. They were all packed in small jars and eaten with a spoon.

"My lord, today's lunch." A soldier ran up to Bill carefully carrying a small jar.

In fact, the lich no longer needs to eat.

It's just that these ordinary soldiers don't know, they don't even know that Bill and Ingersoll are liches, they just think they are very powerful magicians.Every time they came to deliver lunch, Bill would ignore it, but Ingersoll would accept it with a smile.This has led them to mistakenly believe that Bill and Ingersoll also eat human things.

Bill looked at the human soldier silently.

Bill didn't accept the can until the human soldier couldn't bear his overly oppressive gaze and lowered his head.

This was the first time Bill had accepted the cans they had delivered so many times.

Bill took the can and walked forward, passing the soldiers.The soldier clenched his fist vigorously, feeling very excited that he had helped the mage in a small way.The soldiers thought this was a good start. In the evening, the Master Mage would still accept the food they gave, right?

Although the mage certainly doesn't like their food, but in such a difficult war, how can the mage not eat?The soldiers are very grateful to the two senior mages who guard the city that never sleeps. This is their hometown, but it has nothing to do with the mage.However, Master Mage played a role hundreds of times more important than them in this war.

"You are very similar to an old friend of mine." It seemed to be the voice of the magician.

The soldier turned his head, but no one saw it.

……

When Bill left the city that never sleeps, he took one last look at the streets of the city that never sleeps.Under Ace's extremely strict requirements, the streets of the city that never sleeps are already extremely clean.Because of the war, the streets were full of abandoned weapons at this time, blood-stained gauze was floating around, and there were more gravels that he and Ingersoll had laid down not long ago.

Most of the stones have been swept to the side of the street, and there are some small stones that will trip people inadvertently.

Bill saw an unsupervised child running into the street. The stones in the block where the child was located had not been cleared. He didn't go very far when he tripped over the stone.

I also saw that there were two stones where the child fell on his back, and one of them was just about to poke his eyes...

"Wow——" the child burst into tears, and the child suddenly floated up. His sharp cry also attracted the attention of the people around him. The child's mother rushed over to hug the child, patted his back, and comforted him.

Bill stood on the city wall and closed his hand.

He didn't expect that one day, he would use magic for such a meaningless thing.

He didn't expect that one day, he would do things against his interests for people who had nothing to do with him.

The mountains of the Territory of Chaos are not far away.Bill soon came to the hill closest to the city that never sleeps.The new trebuchets for Enchanted Isle have arrived.Faster than they thought.

One row, over 10 trebuchets.

Bill's material studies are very good, and he knows enough about Magic Island.

After observing for only 3 minutes, he determined that the core of the trebuchet was driven by a rare gemstone—purple rainbow stone.The purple rainbow stone is only 10 yuan at most in the magic island. Even if there is an increase in the number of purple rainbow stones in the years he left the magic island, there will not be too many.

These 10 magic trebuchets are probably all the inventory of the magic island.

If they were destroyed, the city that never sleeps would survive for a few more days.

There are many things that may not necessarily turn around.

Bill thought of what Ingersoll said he would take the people from the city that never sleeps to the dead, the canned food brought to him by that ordinary soldier, and the well-informed boss on the street who didn't treat him as a different kind at all... Bill and Ingersoll Er brought the people from the city that never sleeps to the realm of the dead. They can indeed survive, but they have been invaded by dark magic elements all year round, and sooner or later they will become undead creatures.Unless they break through level 4 faster, they can simply retain their sanity.

And what's so good about being an undead creature?

Bill and Ingersoll are all liches, but they still can't enjoy delicious food unscrupulously, and they can't stay in this world without scruples.And more undead creatures don't even have the right to live and poor freedom.They can only contract one city after another, and go to the death game at the request of the city lord. The best situation for them is to join the knight order under the command of Eternal Night City and become a skeleton knight.

Bill thought, following Ace all these years, he was really influenced too deeply by Ace.

He thought of what Ace had said, that we cannot deprive these human beings of their lives prematurely just because they are going to die one day.

He even felt guilty for the innocent lives lost on the eastern plains of Louisiana.

He does not deny that he has a grudge against the Green family. If it wasn't for Noah Green, if it weren't for Jonah Flynn, their uncles and nephews were fighting for power, how could he kidnap Noah and meet Ace because of it? , until he was taken to the dead world by Ace?

The Green family is the source of his misfortune.

But these should not be borne by the commoners in the Green family fief.

The magic wand of Devil May Cry Wood in Bill's hand was shining brightly. The wind spells inherited from the magic island did not alert the holy ranks of the magic island at first, until they found a large number of dark magic elements appearing on this mountain.

The sword masters guarded the mages, and they were worried that the scope of the forbidden magic circle would expand again.

But Bill's goal was not them.

The wind turns into the sharpest knife.

10 magic trebuchets split open at the same time.Bill didn't do useless work, he directly destroyed the drive in the trebuchet - the purple rainbow stone.

These 10 magic trebuchets have become scrap iron.Bill didn't and couldn't destroy the hill anymore.

The holy steps of Magic Island already understood Bill's intentions.They couldn't break into the city that never sleeps, but they wouldn't be polite to the lone lich outside the city. The two sword masters leaped into the air at the same time, one behind the other to stop Bill...

Bill looked at these two big men who he needed to look up to when he was on Magic Island, and laughed wantonly and crazy, "Come on!" The look of the enemy.

There are extremely gorgeous magic appearing on the top of the mountain, as well as criss-crossing grudges. This is like a feast of fireworks. All the living people in the Territory of Chaos have seen this flourishing fireworks.

city ​​that never sleeps.Ingersoll felt the violent fluctuations of the magic element of the dark attribute in the distance, and he felt that a power had turned from peak to peak. He didn't need to visit that mountain in person, he already knew Bill's ending.

When Bill left Evernight City, Bill should have understood.

Ingersoll murmured: "How can you give up the city that never sleeps when you do this?"
