Section 17

Does Princess Scarlet know that the princess is a fake?

"That's enough material for this month."

The Skeleton Duke put away his things and extinguished the fire in the cemetery one after another, and the stone door opened with a rough grinding sound.

It's time for them to leave.

Annan and Lemon followed Duke Skeleton out of the tomb, closing the stone door and casting spells.

Two skeletons leapt out of the void in a magnificent carriage and came to a halt in the clearing.

"Please go up." Duke Skeleton invited.

For Annan, the carriage that needed lemon support to get up was just right for the tall skeleton duke. It looked one last way and stepped into the carriage - it was supposed to be Hearsa City.

The eyes of the two skeleton horses ignited with a burning soul fire and began to move their bone-to-bones through the forest.

At first, Annan was worried that they would be too fast to hit the trees, especially if they didn't know how to avoid them and crashed straight into the trees...... But the galloping carriage suddenly fell somewhere between nothingness, passing through trees and bushes.

Retracting his gaze, Annan looked at the skeletal duke, who was curiously observing the lemon.

"An eternal element...... Your summons? ”

"My talent."

"It's remarkable." Duke Skeleton complimented, "Can you tell me the story of Middle-earth?" I haven't been there yet. ”

At this moment, the temperament of the skeleton duke changed again, like a noble elder, and no matter what, Annan did not feel the cold, ominous, and death-like aura that belonged to the undead.

"Let's start with my perspective. I'm from the North......"

Duke Skeleton is a good listener and will also judge Annan for telling certain places.

For example, when Annan said that he had won the title Warlock, he would say that the reputation bestowed by the Tatunn Empire was common on the mainland. When it comes to the mad dog Grand Duke starting wars, it will lament that many wars are fought because of the selfish desires of those in power. When talking about the contradictions of the Rikanr Kingdom and the past of the North, it will say that Annan has the upper hand as a minor lord among the major powers, and the champion warlock deserves his name.

Finally, when it comes to the establishment of Liberty City and the continuation of some of the ideas of "that organization", Duke Skeleton applauds.

"Do you know that organization?" Annan asked it.

"I know some, but ......not much"

"What's its name?"

Neither Fast nor Copperbeard would give the name of the group.

"No name." Duke Skeleton's answer surprised Annan, "The members of that organization burned themselves for the sake of great ideas, and they thought they had not achieved their goal and did not deserve a name. ”

Annan's unsolved mystery was one of them, and he continued: "Finally...... For the development of Liberty City, I went to the south to attract investment, and by the way, I found some allies. ”

"You're a good lord."

"Everybody says that."

"What a wonderful origin, no wonder you answer that, I don't think I can find a better answer than to answer what the three thinnest books are."

"What's the right answer?"

The soul fire of the Duke of Skeletons made Annan feel wise: "There are no real answers to my three questions, are you willing to think and have wisdom." ”

"Is it hard?"

"It's hard...... You see, there are creatures dying all the time in this world. Many who wake up in dead flesh are just a strange beast, an undead...... Only when a spark of wisdom is born will one become an undead. ”

So the Heroic Spirits of Freecity are also undead?

"Human, I don't know what your name is?"

"Annan, Annan Reeves."

"I'm Leonefa."

Annan said that he remembered the name, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Leonepah? Skeletron? ”

He remembered that Princess Scarlet had said that Leonefa was Skeletron...... Did you find the wrong person?

"That's what the people of the South call me."

"But aren't you Duke Skeleton......"

"If you tell the truth, I will tell the truth. This body is one of my five doppelgangers. ”

“…… It's amazing. Annan sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Five doppelgangers, that is, four doppelgangers above and below the legend of the epic, and one that is obviously the essence of the legend. Skeletron is probably about the same as the cursed Ancestor......

Thinking about it like this, the old ancestor is really powerful, no wonder he will be cursed by the gods.

Remembering that Skeletron had similar rumors, Annan asked, "So you are jealous of the gods and cursed by the gods because of your wisdom?" ”

Speaking of the events of the year, Skeletron still complained: "Of course not. I was dead at that time, and I went to the land of the dead to enter the river of the dead, but I waited 500 years without seeing my messenger, and I returned to the world in anger and lived as a skeleton. ”

Well, not all legends have a well-known legend behind them.

The skeletal carriage running in a straight line quickly returned to the necropolis.

Skeletron Leonefa returned to its territory, and the undead hovering the surface saluted it, followed by Annan and Lemon.

In the Catacombs hall, Skeletron asks his assistants, "Give me the letter." ”

Thick Knuckle pulled out the letter, and Skeletron raised his head: "Go back and tell your princess that I have initially accepted her alliance, and let her discuss further alliances in the Necropolis in five days." ”

It saw that Annan was about to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help me disguise my human identity?"

The Skeleton Duke's soul fire jumped, as if he was laughing: "Then as a counterpart, you also have to keep it secret for me." ”

"What are you talking about, Duke Skeleton?" Annan asked confusedly.

In the evening, Annan, who had completed his mission perfectly, relieved the call of the lemon and returned to the oak forest to join Dracula.

"Why did you go so long?"

The butler, who had been there all day, came out of the hole in the tree.

Annan, who had just finished telling the story to Skeletron, was eager to confide in him, and asked the butler to set off first, and then said on the way: "I entered the necropolis after three tests, but I found that there were still a few blood clans there, in order to seize the opportunity, I had to take the commission of the Duke of Bones to find the Duke of Skeletons near Persona City......"

Two hours before dawn, Annan and Dracula landed on the terrace

"You're back?"

The crimson princess on the terrace put down "The Seventh Night" in surprise: "Did it work?" ”

"Young Master Annan arrived at the territory of the Duke of Skeletons first, and after three dangerous tests, he competed with the skeleton giants and the great lich to the death, and after discovering other vampires, he discovered their conspiracy, and took the initiative to take the dangerous commission to enter the core of Persona City to find the Duke of Skeletons......"

Annan watched in amazement as the butler bragged about himself - he had always thought that Dracula was a rigid and reserved old butler.

Princess Crimson's chest rose and fell excitedly, and her cheeks became delicate: "Let's prepare, we will visit the land of the dead in three days, Annan, you-"

"I want to go back to Huadu." Annan said.

As if betrayed, Princess Crimson silently looked at Annan, who still couldn't forget.

"Revenge is still waiting for me to carry out."

Annan's explanation made Princess Crimson smile again.

The innocent princess of the blood clan was toyed with by Annan.
