A strange world

Chapter 620 Chapter 17. Skeleton King

Does Princess Crimson know that the princess is fake?

"There's enough material for this month."

Duke Skeleton put away his things and extinguished the fire in the cemetery one after another. 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 the void 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 gift."

"It's amazing." Duke Skeleton admired it. "Can you tell me the story of Middle-earth? I haven't been there yet."

At this moment, the Skeleton Duke's temperament changed again, like that of an aristocratic elder. However, 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 good listener and will comment on certain places Annan tells.

For example, when Annan said that he had won the Champion 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 idea of ​​continuing part 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 name of the organization.

"There is no name." Duke Skeleton's answer surprised Annan. "The members of that organization burn themselves for the great idea. 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 along the way."

"You are an excellent lord."

"That's what everyone says."

"What a wonderful origin. No wonder you answered like that. I don't think I can find a better answer than your answer about what are the three thinnest books."

"What's 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 Leoneffa."

Annan said he remembered the name, but suddenly felt something was wrong: "Leonefa? Skeleton King?"

He remembered that Scarlet Princess said that Leonefa was the Skeletor... Did he find the wrong person?

"People in the southern kingdoms 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 really amazing." Annan sighed sincerely.

Five clones, that is to say, there are four clones above the epic and below the legend, and one body that is obviously a legend. The Skeleton King is probably almost the same as the cursed ancestor...

When you think about it, your ancestor is so powerful, no wonder he was cursed by the gods.

Annan thought of similar rumors about Skeleton King and asked, "So you were jealous of the gods and cursed by the gods because of your wisdom?"

Speaking of what happened back then, the Skeleton King still complained: "Of course not. I was already dead at that time and went to the Kingdom of the Dead to enter the River of the Dead. As a result, I waited for 500 years and didn't see my messenger. I was angry. Then he will return to the human world and live as a skeleton."

Well, not every legend has a legendary story behind it.

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 joint pulled out the letter, and the Skeleton King raised his head: "Go back and tell your princess that I initially accept her alliance, and let her discuss further alliance in the necropolis in five days."

It saw Annan hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help me disguise my human identity?"

The soul fire of Duke Skeleton jumped, as if he was laughing: "Then as a response, you must also keep it a secret for me."

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

In the evening, Annan, who had completed his mission perfectly, released Lemon's summons and returned to the oak forest to join Dracula.

"Why have you been gone so long?"

The housekeeper who had been staying 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 find Duke Skeleton near Lost City…”

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

"Are you back?"

The Scarlet Princess on the terrace put down "Seventh Night" in surprise: "Did it succeed?"

"Master Annan first arrived at the Skeleton Duke's territory. After three crises and tests, he competed with the Skeleton Giant and the Great Lich for life and death. After discovering other vampires, he discovered their conspiracy, took the initiative to accept the dangerous commission, and entered the core of the Lost City. 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 crimson princess's chest rose and fell with excitement, and her cheeks became delicate and delicate: "Let's prepare for a visit to the Kingdom of the Dead in three days. Annan, you--"

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

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.
