Verse 55.Pretend to defend against the weird

"So can you 'play' Skeletron?"

It took Annan ten minutes to finish the story, and Annan told the Skeleton King about his plan to pretend to be a knight and contact the southern kingdoms.

"I'm going to prepare."

Skeletron said, stepping into the depths of the tomb.

Annan's attention returned to the Weird, who was talking about Skeletron's stone-falling spell when he was freed.

"Is that legendary?"

"I think it's a demigod ......"

"Maybe it's death!"

The weirdos' speculation is getting more and more outrageous, and they seem to be having fun—the stronger Skeletron is, the more Annan doesn't lie to them.

Skeletron's footsteps returned, and Annan retracted his gaze to see it emerge from the shadows—a tall skeleton draped in a red cloak inlaid with dazzling gems, and its thick joints held a pure ruby scepter the size of a fist, like a king in a country of commerce.

Elimoas must not be allowed to see Skeletron...... Annan thought that even he couldn't help but want to pounce on these gems.

"Let's go," Skeletron asked after changing his costume.

"Now? But it's dark outside......"

"It's okay."

Skeletron seemed to be looking for a feeling of being alive, and whispered majestically, "This is in line with the majesty of a 'Dead Monarch'." ”

Annan represents the princess, and it is inappropriate for the weirdos to follow. They remained in the tomb, and Annan and Skeletron came to the surface.

Skeletron's scepter tapped the ground, and in the cold moonlight, the dirt in front of him cracked, and countless tall bones emerged from the ground. It continued to swing its staff, condensing soul fire in the eyes of the silent skeletons crawling out of the ground.

A team of skeleton knights, a carriage of bones made entirely of skeletons.

A tall knight, who was almost two meters tall, came to the carriage, drew his long sword as a staircase, and motioned for Annan to sit in the carriage.

"Thank you."

Annan stepped on the blade of his sword and sat in the carriage, and then Skeletron stepped in.

The Skeleton Knight closed the bone door and returned to the front to lead the group—a guard of honor of the undead who rushed to the camp of the Southern Kingdoms in the darkness of night.

Hopefully the humans there won't be scared.

"Do you know them?" Skeletron whispered.

Annan knew it was asking the weirdness: "Of course, we lived together for days. ”

"I mean, do you know their rituals?"

"Ritual?"

"It's a weird way to kill people."

"I don't know...... But I can probably guess it. ”

When we first caught the headless werewolf, these guys were the fastest. The drawing board man relies on painting, the slug grows larger, the slender dance shadow is controlled, the anthropomorphic is anthropomorphic, and the invisible man is invisible......

"What do you want them to do?"

Annan pondered, "I haven't thought about it yet...... But it should be the candle head patrolling the night, the drawing board man selling paintings on the street, and the slender dancing shadow street performing. ”

Skeletron was surprised: "You want them to live a normal life? ”

"Isn't that bold?"

"yes...... Their power is incompatible with ours......"

"So after rescuing the princess, I hope you can help me find a way to keep them alive......"

"Is it worth it?"

"I can make friends with you, why can't I be friends with them?"

"What a novel idea...... Skeletron's words were approving.

Mages love the unknown, and now Annan is doing just that.

Annan wanted to say something, but Skeletron looked up and looked outside: "We've arrived." ”

A flame burns on the wooden walls of the southern kingdoms, which illuminates the surroundings and dispels the strangeness of not liking light and heat.

Annan jumped out of the skeleton carriage that matched the Tatooan aesthetic and stood in front of the wooden wall calling for the guards.

"I am the princess knight, and I have brought the commission!"

It didn't take long for several heads to poke out from the edge of the firelight, as if struggling with whether to respond to Annan......

"Allow me to introduce you to ...... King of the Land of the Dead, Skeleton King Leonefa. ”

Annam stepped out of the skeleton carriage, the big man behind Annan, and the skeleton knights slowly walked forward with the tall pale skeleton.

The guards could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and in a few moments the gate opened, and a mage dressed in noble attire hurried out and invited Leonefa into the camp.

A banquet is being held in the big house in the middle of the camp...... It is true that where there are nobles, there are banquets.

The southern kingdoms are no strangers to Skeletron, and the "smartest beings" are spread by them.

At first they thought that Annan was a student or servant of Leonifa and ignored him. It was Leonefa who took the initiative to retreat behind Annan and introduced him as the knight of the princess, and everyone knew that he was the protagonist of the night.

"I have been commanded by the princess to ask for help from all the countries of the south." Annan, who had been targeted by the ladies from the moment he entered, raised his head slightly and informed them of the request to clean up Swan Lake.

The few big people who are qualified to talk to Skeletron hesitated: "Let's discuss ......"

But with Annan's understanding of the aristocracy, this is no different from rejection.

"That's important, guys. Wang Maiden ...... Something very important is missing, in Swan Lake. ”

They frowned, said they would give him an answer after dawn, and then arranged a room for Annan - a wooden house in the heart of the camp.

Annan had no choice but to stay for the night, and returned to the cabin with Skeletron.

"How's the strength here?" Annan asked it.

"Three Epics, Twelve Masters ......"

It's not legendary, but it's pretty good......

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door, and Annan opened the door, revealing the epic mage from the previous banquet. He was looking for Skeletron...... They seem to be old acquaintances.

"I'll go outside for a while."

Annan didn't bother them to catch up, and came out of the hut.

Outside the wooden house, he met a young girl who was also waiting for the starry sky.

"Are you really the knight of the princess?" She glanced at Annan and asked familiarly.

It should be the heir of the epic who went in.

"Is there anyone else who is swindling with the Hearing City Ring?"

"But I haven't seen you."

It seems that she has been to the palace......

Annan was still thinking about what excuse to use to deceive the past, and the girl suddenly said: "I know that there has always been a knight who is secretly guarding the princess, are you ......?"

If it weren't for Corlet's torture, Annan would have admitted it, but now he could only deliberately say in a low voice: "I didn't say anything, you don't know anything." ”

"I understand...... I understand ......" the girl understood, and then exuded a mood of "the princess actually hides such a good man".

The aristocracy of the South has always been less reserved......

"But I advise you not to get your hopes up, those adults won't promise you."

"Why?"

The girl looked at Annan as if he had asked a stupid question: "Persona City is so dangerous, who will go in." ”

"And what are you still doing here, fending off the weird?"

"No, to convince people that we're fighting off weirdness."
