Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Chu Ming opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the girl ran away.

Isabel waved to him from afar: "Goodbye Mr. Wizard, goodbye Pearly."

Chu Ming touched his cheek, raised the corners of his mouth inexplicably, and waved to the girl.

The owl stared at the girl and hooted.

"Gugu..."

After standing there for a while, Chu Ming saw that Isabel had finished talking to the pastor, and after the pastor excitedly led her into the church, he turned around and walked into the street with Pearly.

Chu Ming sighed as he walked.

"Gugu?"

Polly turned her head and looked at Chu Ming.

"Polly, it feels like fate."

…

After bidding farewell to the girl, it took Chu Ming five days to rush back to the dark forest where the wizard tower was located.

The reason it took so long was because he got lost and took a different route, which wasted a lot of time.

However, it has to be said that the territory of the Fengyang Empire is indeed large, and a noble territory is even larger than a kingdom on the King's Peninsula.

However, due to the influence of the aberrant plague, the number of civilians in the Fengyang Empire has been declining again and again. Along the way, Chu Ming could see a large number of abandoned villages, and in some places, even the nobles had abandoned their territories.

So Chu Ming didn't see many people along the way. If it weren't for the guidance of a passing old man who was fleeing the country, he wouldn't have known how long it would have taken him to find the right path.

In the dark forest, black mist floated, and Chu Ming returned to this gloomy place again.

After walking in the forest for a while, he finally saw the tall black shadow of the Wizard Tower.

"It's finally back."

Chu Ming sighed, walked around the backyard, and returned to the entrance of the wizard tower.

At the door, a servant who was cleaning saw Chu Ming. He was stunned for a moment, and then was so frightened that he dropped his broom.

"Na...Lord Narender, why are you back?!"

Chu Ming frowned, somewhat confused as to what this slave meant.

"Why can't I come back?"

The slave's Adam's apple rolled and he quickly knelt down.

"No, no, it's just that the news of your defection is spreading in the Wizard Tower."

The slave lowered his head and trembled, waiting for Chu Ming's punishment.

"I don't mean to blame you, just get up."

Chu Ming said something, passed by the servant, and walked upstairs.

After being missing for so many days, of course he couldn't just go back to the room like a normal person. He still needed to explain to Dipper.

With a creaking sound, Chu Ming arrived on the thirteenth floor, where the wizards gathered.

As soon as he reached this level, Chu Ming saw Edel standing in front of the door of a laboratory with his head lowered. A harsh voice sounded from inside, constantly scolding him.

"Edel?"

Edel was stunned for a moment when he heard a familiar voice, and suddenly turned his head to look at the stairs.

When he saw Chu Ming appear, he suddenly became excited.

"Brother, you're back. I've been scolded a lot these days."

Chu Ming smiled bitterly and said the words he had prepared.

"Stop talking, I met a dark wizard in Moore Town. If it hadn't been for the life-saving items that Teacher Dipu gave me, I might have died long ago."

After hearing this, Edel's expression changed drastically.

"Then you're okay."

Chu Ming glanced at him speechlessly, "If something happens to me, can you still see me?"

Edel scratched his head in embarrassment, "Huh? Hahaha, that's right, I'm just too excited."

"Okay." Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "I have to say hello to Teacher Dipu, and we'll talk when we get back."

After bidding farewell to Edel, Chu Ming moved on and arrived at the door of Dipu's laboratory.

"Dong dong..."

"Teacher, it's me, Narender, I'm back."

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from inside, "Come in."

Chu Ming opened the door and saw Dipu wearing glasses and grinding crystal pieces.

Dipu took off his glasses, wiped the powder crumbs on his hands with a rag, then raised his eyes and asked Chu Ming: "I heard that the town of More was attacked by a dark wizard, are you among them?"

Chu Ming quickly said: "At that time, I was still in Moore Town preparing to buy some gifts for the teacher. Unexpectedly, the Life Church in Moore Town was attacked, and the dark wizard released the distortion powder and spread it throughout the town."

"I was unlucky. I happened to be near the wizard's battle venue. If I hadn't used the piece of meat given by the teacher, I might have been affected by the battle and died on the spot."

"After using the meat block, my body suffered some damage. I rested for a few days before recovering, and then I rushed back to the wizard tower without stopping."

Dipu listened quietly to Chu Ming's story. He couldn't find anything wrong with Chu Ming's words.

After listening, the old man said: "Since you are injured, take a good rest and don't leave the dark forest for a while."

"Yes, Teacher Dipper."

A few minutes later, Chu Ming closed the door and walked out.

On the way back, he happened to meet Marin in the corridor.

Marin glanced silently and said nothing.

Chu Ming didn't want to pay attention to him and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Marin spoke, "Narende, I believe you are a smart man."

"Teacher Dipu has accepted four more apprentices. You should know what this means."

Chu Ming stopped and said sarcastically: "Does this mean you are going to take action again?"

"Haha." Marin smiled, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

After saying that, Marin walked up the stairs without looking back.

Chu Ming looked at Ma Lin's back and his mind moved.

If he guessed correctly, what Marin was talking about was what Dipper and the wizards had been hiding.

What these apprentices have in their hands is not the lion-snake meditation method, but the lich meditation method.

Chu Ming thought as he walked. It was obvious that Dipu's purpose in recruiting more apprentices was not to pass on knowledge, but to select more apprentices who had the ability to practice the Lich Meditation Method for spiritual assimilation.

He had asked Edel about the meditation method before and compared the meditation methods in his hands with those in Edel's hands.

He found that the apprentices in this wizard tower all practiced the same lich meditation method, and each wizard had about five or six apprentices.

Only on Dipu's side, because of Marin's secret obstruction, the number of apprentices has been unable to increase.

With such a large-scale spiritual assimilation, it is difficult not to doubt the purpose of these wizards.

"So, has Marin discovered spiritual assimilation and the weird actions of wizards a long time ago?"

A hint of enlightenment flashed in Chu Ming's eyes.

No wonder Marin repeatedly took risks to prevent Dipper from recruiting apprentices. It turned out that he wanted to hinder the wizards' actions.

No wonder I didn't see how sad Miguel was when he died. He was probably secretly happy in his heart.

"To be honest, Marin is very smart, but this is something he can't stop."

Chu Ming shook his head and returned to the room.

"Even if the new batch of apprentices wants to reach my level, it will take at least more than a year."

"There's no need to worry about Dipper getting angry just yet. It's time to focus on the study of witchcraft."

Of course, before that, Chu Ming had to do one more thing.

I saw him sitting down on the chair and releasing Pearly hidden in the clothes.

"Gugu..."

Pearly flapped her messy wings and shouted dissatisfied.

Chu Ming smiled and apologized while helping it straighten its feathers.

Putting Pearly aside, Chu Ming took out the paper, dipped his quill in ink, thought for a moment, and read while writing:

"Dear Isabelle:

I have returned to the Wizard Tower. The environment here is quiet and the relationship between teachers and students is harmonious. I believe that my level of witchcraft will be greatly improved in the coming days...

Where are you back now? I want to know how you are doing...

Put pen to paper, Mr. Wizard. "

Chu Ming stopped writing, and several waste paper balls appeared on the table. After writing for a while, he exhaled, rolled up the letter, put it into a special copper scroll, and tied it to Pearly's foot. Ring.

"Gugu..."

Pearly opened her mouth, showing no intention of leaving.

Chu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. After asking Allen to find some bread to feed Pearly, he opened the window and placed Pearly on the windowsill.

The owl cooed a few times, flapped its wings and flew deep into the darkness.

After a while the owl disappeared into the black mist.

Chu Ming glanced at the billowing black fog, closed the window, and returned to his own laboratory.

Standing in front of the table, he took out the "Bloodline Bridge" he got when he first started practicing witchcraft.

"If you want to study the principles of witchcraft, and if you want to know the power of blood and what is deep in the blood, then it is perfect to start with the foundation of blood witchcraft - "Blood Bridging"."

Unfolding the parchment, Chu Ming re-read the contents inside.
