Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 72
The knight named Charles looked coldly at the splashing flesh and blood.

"A bunch of rice buckets!"

Charles, the first knight of the Mithril Blade, is also one of the few knights who can touch the dark blue level.

Originally, he was leading the Mithril Blade to trace the traces of the members of the Blackstone Backblade, but unexpectedly, something happened to the brownstone mine first, and he had to rush back.

"Lord Charles." A mithril knight came running over on horseback and cupped his hands, "I've checked, and it's indeed Black Stone who moved against the blade."

"Only they can make such a careful plan to attack the mine on the day of the banquet."

Charles comforted the mount, which was restless due to the outbreak of magic power, and then looked at the knight, "Where's Miller?"

"My lord, I don't know."

The knight lowered his head.

"Zhou, if so many brownstones and mithril fall into the hands of the Blackstone's Backblade, it will definitely fuel their arrogance and threaten the order of the kingdom."

"Send hounds to remind the noble knights of the counties to pay attention to the movement of the Black Stone Backblade."

"Yes, my lord."

.........

Four days later.

The rain has subsided, but the clouds have not dissipated.

Laner County, in the forest mountain road, the rain dripped down the creek and went away with the flowing water. Chu Ming and his party wore cloaks, led the horse, and marched against the wet mountain wall covered with moss.

Alice shrank her petite body, glanced at the towering mountain wall, and reminded everyone: "Be careful, the forest green eagle's nest is above, don't provoke them."

Everyone walked carefully for a while, the mountain road gradually opened up, and the creek rushed into a river.

Behind the girl, Chu Ming led the horse, looking forward along the creek.

At the end of the creek, near the river beach, there is a village with only a hundred people.

This village is called Black Horn Village, and it is located at the junction of Laner County and Xinya County. As long as they cross the river in front, they can reach Xinya County and go to a stronghold of Blackstone Backblade.

In the haze of mist and rain, on the gray-black tile-roofed wooden house, smoke rose from the kitchen, seeming to guide Chu Ming and his party to come.

In the past few days, in order to avoid being tracked by the Mithril School, Chu Ming and the others have been rushing into the forest, and everywhere they went was muddy and desolate.

Suddenly seeing the village, everyone couldn't help being shocked.

"Let's go."

Alice walked ahead and led them into the village from the path.

If you want to cross the river, you have to ask the villagers in the village for help, which is unavoidable.

Stepping on the muddy path, the people walked towards several fisherman's houses near the river.

At the door of the house, because of the rain, the fishing nets on the drying racks were all taken back.

It was drizzling outside, and the orange fire in the house was faintly revealed, and there were small voices from inside.

Everyone stood in front of the door, and Alice in the front hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and stopped in mid-air.

Although she is not afraid of humans, she does not know how to communicate.

"Let me do it."

As if seeing the girl's embarrassment, Chu Ming gave her a reassuring look, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

The brown wooden door made a muffled sound, and the voices in the room stopped. After a while, the creaking sound dragged on, the wooden door opened a crack, and warm light came out from the fireplace.

An old man poked his head out from behind the door and asked cautiously, "Who are the gentlemen?"

Chu Ming took off his hood, revealing his youthful face which is no different from normal people.

He smiled lightly, "Mr., we want to cross the river to the other side. I wonder if it can be convenient."

Seeing Chu Ming's too young face and friendly smile, the old man immediately let go of his guard and opened the door.

"Son, come in first, it's still raining outside."

"Then trouble the old man."

Chu Ming thanked him a few times and walked into the house.

Behind him, Alice and the others showed strange expressions on their faces, and some couldn't understand why the young man was so proficient.

Only the wild wolf looked calm, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

After the five people entered the house, the originally small room seemed a bit crowded.

Chu Ming looked inside. On the right side of the house, the fireplace was burning, and the kettle above was boiling and humming.

In front of the fireplace, an old woman is sitting on a chair mending a fishing net.

Seeing Chu Ming and others come in, the old woman got up quickly and took some bowls from the closet.

"Son, let's have some hot soup."

Chu Ming glanced back at Alice and the others, then turned his head and shook his head, "Thank you grandma for your kindness, but we are in a hurry and want to go to the other side of the river."

They really want to go to Xinya County in a hurry, and the sooner they go there, the faster they can get rid of the tracking of Mithril Knights.

As for why he didn't plan to drink soup, the main reason is that among the five people here, Chu Ming looks the most human...

It would be bad to scare the old man by taking off the cloak.

"Is that so?"

The old man shook his head, picked up a handful of dry wood from the firewood pile, and added it to the fireplace.

"Children, you came at the wrong time. It has been raining outside for several days, and the river has risen so high. It's getting dark, and I can't see anything clearly. I dare not take you with me, old man." Venture across the river."

"But……"

Hearing that she couldn't cross the river, Alice showed a trace of anxiety on her face.

Before she finished speaking, Chu Ming hurriedly stopped her and asked the old man, "Excuse me, old man, is there any spare housing here? Let's rest here for one night before leaving."

"There are some."

The old man nodded.

"There is a room above that used to belong to my son, but it is empty now. The room is not big and needs to be squeezed."

"I'll take you there."

The old man bent over to pick up the old lamp, walked to the spiral staircase on the left, and signaled Chu Ming and others to follow.

"It's troublesome."

Chu Ming and the others followed the old man up to the door of a room.

The old man fumbled around his waist, took out some rusty keys and fiddled with the door lock.With a click, the door slowly opened, revealing the dark room inside.

After talking to Chu Ming, the old man put down the lamp and left the room.

In the slightly dark room, several people took off their cloaks and shook their bodies.

Alice hung up the cloak, looked at Chu Ming and asked a little depressed, "Why didn't you let me talk just now?"

Chu Ming said helplessly: "The old man is indeed right, the river will not be crossed tonight, why not spend the night here to rest."

"All right……"

After comforting Alice, Chu Ming opened the door to go out.

"You guys rest here first, I'll go out and check the situation."

After speaking, he walked to the end of the corridor and followed the stairs to the first floor.

In front of the fireplace, the old woman was lying on a chair, as if she had fallen asleep.

The old man covered the old woman with a blanket and saw Chu Ming coming down.

"Child, what's wrong?"

"Mister, you should know our identities."
