Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

The unknown liquid entered his stomach, as if he had swallowed a hot slug worm. Chu Ming almost vomited it out without holding back.

The old wizard ignored him and picked up a lens from the table and pointed it at Chu Ming.

"Your name is Narender, right?"

Chu Ming pinched his throat and nodded.

The old wizard looked into the mirror and muttered something.

After a while, he put down his lenses, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Young man, you are in good spirits."

Putting down the lenses, the old wizard wiped his hands with a rag.

"Okay, you can go."

"Thank you, Lord Wizard."

Chu Ming put his hands on the floor and walked out the door with his head lowered.

At this time, a man had been waiting outside for a long time.

The man looked indifferent and said: "My name is Marin, and I am Lord Dipper's apprentice. You can call me Lord Marin and follow me."

Although he didn't know what the man in front of him wanted to do, the current situation was stronger than others. He could only accept the arrangement temporarily and settle down first before making other plans.

Following the man walking in the corridor of dark brown wooden boards, thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump… the two slowly walked down the wooden stairs.

On the way, he also saw several men in black robes passing by in a hurry and with cold faces. He didn't know whether they were wizards or apprentices here.

Soon, the two of them descended to the first floor of the Wizard Tower.

Marin looked around sternly for a while, and stopped at a fat man mopping the floor.

He was wearing coarse cloth, his belly was a little swollen, and he was wrapped in a bandage stained with yellow pus. He looked like a patient with a deformation disease.

At this time, he was putting the mop into the bucket to wash it clean. When he saw Marin coming, he immediately stopped what he was doing and quickly lowered his head.

The man pointed to him and said, "Follow me."

"Yes, Lord Marin."

The little fat man nodded fearfully, and he and Chu Ming walked out of the wizard tower.

Outside the wizard's tower is a dark and deep forest, and from time to time, terrifying howls can be heard coming from inside.

The little fat man's body trembled, his face showed fear, and he followed closely behind the two of them.

Walking along the gravel road towards the back of the wizard's tower, they came to a fenced flower garden.

Marin stopped and turned around. In the dark forest, his face looked a little gloomy.

He asked Chu Ming: "What's your name?"

Chu Ming lowered his head and replied: "Return to your lord, Narender."

"Very good. There are four datura trees in this flower garden. You will take care of them from now on."

With that said, Marin put his hands into his sleeves and looked at the little fat man.

"Aaron, teach him how to fertilize and water."

"I remember you still have room in your room, so he will leave it to you."

"Remember." Marin moved his eyes and scanned the two of them. "If you don't want to be a waste, just let me watch."

After saying that, the man ignored the two people's reactions and left.

When the man's figure was no longer visible, the little fat man fell to the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

After a while, he came to his senses and asked Chu Ming, "What's your name? My name is Allen, I don't have a surname."

"My name is Narender, and I don't have a surname either."

Then Chu Ming took the opportunity to ask: "Is Lord Marin so scary?"

Fatty Allen rolled his eyes at him and said angrily: "The last time I said the same thing as you has been buried in the ground, what do you think?"

As he said this, the little fat man showed sadness on his face, "It's pity that I, Allen, have returned to this terrible place."

"A scary place?"

The little fat man stood up carefully, pointed to the forest outside the fence covered with old vines, and pointed to the mandala tree behind Chu Ming.

"Have you seen the forest here? It's full of dark creatures, and these four mandala trees are not fuel-efficient lamps."

"I told you first, don't step on its roots when watering in the future, and don't dig the soil under its feet, otherwise..."

Chu Ming asked curiously: "What would happen otherwise?"

"They will scream, I can come here the next day to collect your body."

"I'm telling you, anyone who hears the screams of Datura will either die or go crazy. The pollen they emit will also have a strong psychedelic anesthetic effect, and you won't be able to run away even if you want."

Chu Ming glanced at the mandala tree behind him, which looked just like an ordinary plant.

He didn't expect that such an ordinary plant could have such terrifying abilities. It seemed like it must be some kind of magical plant.

If Chu Ming hadn't had any strength now, he would have wanted to dig out one to see what was going on.

"You come with me."

With a sad look on his face, Allen led Chu Ming to a dark wooden barrel.

As soon as the little fat man opened the upper lid, an indescribable fermentation smell wafted out from inside. Chu Ming seemed to have seen the scene of flies gathering here.

"This is the mandala fertilizer. There are a lot of bone residues in it. Please be careful."

Allen looked around and whispered: "If something happened to Mandala, you would have to lie down here."

"This fertilizer needs to be watered on them every morning and evening. Watering first and then fertilizing is not very particular."

"But don't step on the roots. I don't want to have to collect your body as soon as you come here."

Chu Ming nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.

Then he continued to ask: "Alan, can I still get out of this wizard tower?"

After hearing what he said, the little fat man quickly made a gesture of hissing.

He whispered: "Don't say that here."

"Our deformation disease cannot be cured. Without the potions provided by the wizard every once in a while, even if you go out, the deformation will be all over your body, and you will still die."

"And this tower is in a dark forest. Even if you want to run, you can't escape. There is a high probability that you will be eaten by the dark creatures here."

"Oh, by the way." The little fat man remembered something, "If you see a dark creature attacking, just run into the tower."

"If you don't run, you will definitely die outside. If you run, the mandala will be trampled to pieces, and you will die in the hands of Marin."

"But if you're lucky and escape, the mandala is still there, and you'll live."

"..."

Hearing what the little fat man said, Chu Ming never thought about the chance of survival.

"Okay, you can stay here for now. I have to go back and mop the floor. If the floor is not clean enough and the wizard is angry, my life will be in danger."

"Anyway, just be careful. I'll come find you again at night."

The little fat man patted Chu Ming's shoulder earnestly, as if something might happen to him at any time.

Then, he tiptoed, looked around, and carefully disappeared into the darkness along the gravel path.

After Allen left, the entire backyard fell silent, and from time to time the miserable cries of crows could be heard from the trees and vines.

"You actually built the Wizard Tower near the Dark Land. What's the purpose of it?"

Chu Ming held his chin with his left hand and came to the flower garden.

"No matter what, it is still too dangerous here. Although the environment is not as harsh as the mine, it is full of dangers."

"If you don't have strength, your life will not only be threatened by the dark creatures here, but also by those wizards and apprentices."

"It seems we need to improve our strength as soon as possible."

Chu Ming slowly sat on the ground, moved his swollen arm, and placed it carefully.

"Currently, the aberration disease should not affect knights and wizards with extraordinary powers. As long as I can successfully rebuild the knight's secret method, the effects of the aberration disease will be eliminated."

To be honest, although this ghost place is a bit dangerous, it is quiet enough and is a good place to practice.

Without thinking for too long, Chu Ming crossed his legs, endured the strangeness in his right arm, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

But this practice did not last long, Chu Ming opened his eyes with a dark face.

"I didn't expect that this body's qualifications are so poor. It can't even practice the universal knight secret technique."

As he said that, he looked at the swollen arm, "And when I was running the secret method, I felt a faint feeling that my energy and blood were not flowing smoothly. This deformed part was causing trouble."

"Try the Blood Blade Secret Technique."

Chu Ming closed his eyes, but soon opened them again.

He failed.

Since the secret method cannot be practiced, what else can be practiced?

Chu Ming thought for a while, opened the history book, and looked at one of the cards.

【Blue Star Meditation Method】

[Quality: white]

[Skill: Spiritual Meditation (Low Level)]

"The meditation method does not involve bloodline power, but only spiritual power. Maybe it can be used."

Although this meditation method is enough for the humans of Blue Star, for Chu Ming who lives in the history of another world, it is really not enough and can only be used for transition.

Moreover, the mental power cultivated through meditation cannot be directly converted into combat power, and can only be used in conjunction with spells and witchcraft.

Chu Ming fell into deep thought.

"The knight's road is impassable, and there is no way out of the dark forest."

"It seems that becoming a wizard should be my best choice now."

"But my current status in the Wizard Tower is just that of a slave. If I want to learn witchcraft, I must first obtain the qualifications to become an apprentice."

"As for what to do...you have to ask Allen, maybe he will know."
