Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

The knights stopped. The knights formed a circle around Chu Ming and the others. Leiter and others quickly jumped off their horses.

"Are you okay?!"

Isabel trotted over anxiously, regardless of the dirty blood on the ground, and knelt down next to Chu Ming to help him up.

Chu Ming shook his head weakly. The two dark wizards continued to provide him with mental power in the nightmare. His mental power had improved a lot, but his body had little strength.

Burrett on the side supported Edel's arm and pushed him onto the horse.

"Ouch, can't you be gentler?"

Edel gasped and slumped on the horse, unable to move.

Burrett ignored him, looked calmly, and directed everyone: "Everyone return to the capital immediately, be careful of the dark wizard."

Isabel nodded, carefully picked up Chu Ming, and helped him get on the horse.

Chu Ming took a breath and chuckled: "I guess these dark wizards are scared out of their wits after being tortured like this by Edel and I."

When the two vigilant epic wizards of the royal capital heard this, they couldn't help but smile and glanced at Chu Ming with admiration.

The girl got on the horse, held his body steady, joined the knights, and returned to the direction of the royal capital.

Along the way, Isabel's hands glowed with light.

Under the illumination of the light, Chu Ming's physical strength gradually recovered, and his trembling hands finally calmed down.

As for Edel, with his knight's physique, he recovered a lot without the need for treatment.

When the knights returned to the capital, Chu and Ming were able to walk normally and jumped off their horses.

boom!

There was a loud noise, and the city gate was closed. The knights surrounded the city gate and stared at Chu Ming. Their eyes showed joy and admiration.

"Lord Narender!"

"Lord Edel!"

"hero!"

The knights of Kutz inside all saluted and couldn't help shouting enthusiastically.

The other knights were also exaggerated by this atmosphere and couldn't help but raise their hands to salute the two of them.

Being stared at by everyone so enthusiastically, Edel's face turned slightly red, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Chu Ming also smiled softly, and then looked at Burrett and High Priest Lysa who came slowly to greet them.

"Count Burrett, High Priest Lysa, this matter is not over yet."

"The epic wizards of the Truth Society suffered heavy casualties, and they will definitely plan a more violent attack."

He looked around at everyone, "I think we have to leave the capital."

Everyone had different expressions, and a lot of their joy and excitement were gone.

Burrett nodded and said: "Please inform other counts and the people in the royal capital that we are moving north. Nobles and people who want to leave the royal capital can accompany us. The knights will try their best to ensure your safety."

"We will not restrict the freedom of the accompanying people. They can leave at any time after arriving in the north."

"The time to leave the Royal Capital will probably be tomorrow. Once everyone has recovered, we will set off immediately."

In fact, even if Burrett wanted to bring all these people to the Earldom of Kutz, he would not be able to do so.

Not to mention the long distance between the Earldom of Kutz and the royal capital. Without enough supplies, there is no way to support the consumption of so many people.

Moreover, the more people in the team, the slower they move forward, and they are likely to be overtaken by the dark wizard.

When everyone heard this, their faces struggled for a while.

After a while, Emeka and Dino looked at each other, nodded, and said to Burrett: "Earl Burrett, we are willing to lead the wizard tower wizard to follow you to the Earl of Kutz. Please also ask Burrett The count took him in."

Burrett was stunned, then laughed in surprise and said: "Welcome you two to join the Earldom of Kutz."

In fact, he knew that the reason why these two epic wizards wanted to join the Earldom of Kutz was not because of him or the Earldom of Kutz.

After all, the Earl of Kutz is a barren and remote countryside in the wizard's view. If he hadn't been shocked by Chu Ming's powerful wizard power, he really couldn't think of a reason why two epic wizards would join the Earl of Kutz. .

No matter what, the addition of two epic wizards will greatly promote the development of the earldom. A large number of wizards and apprentices will enter the earldom and be transformed into spiritual wizards.

As long as they are given time to rest, the Earl of Kutz will surely undergo a transformation.

The two epic wizards saluted Chu Ming and hurried back to the wizard tower to summon wizards to prepare for the northward migration.

Watching the people from the major forces gradually move away, Chu Ming turned to look at High Priest Lysa, "High Priest, how about the Life Church come north to the Earl of Kutz with us?"

Isabel's ears twitched slightly, and she quietly looked at High Priest Lysa, with a bit of hope in her eyes.

High Priest Lysa smiled and said: "That's good, we can also take care of each other."

Isabel supported the old man, her eyebrows arched unconsciously, "Grandma High Priest, let's go back and pack things quickly."

The old man said angrily: "Why are you so anxious, kid? It's still a long way from here to the Earldom of Kutz."

"whee……"

Isabel helped the old man walk in the direction of the carriage. During the process, she turned back and smiled at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming smiled and waved, watching the girl leave.

Soon, only Chu Ming, Edel and Burrett were left at the door, as well as some knights guarding them.

Burrett walked towards Chu Ming, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "Narende, without you, we don't know how much it would cost to break out from the siege of the dark wizards this time."

"Father, and me."

Edel quickly raised his hand.

"Ahem, Edel, you did a good job."

Burrett looked at Edel, his eyes softening.

Without interrupting the chat between Burrett and his son, Chu Ming, led by the knight, went to a nearby hotel and changed out of his bloodstained gray robe.

After meditating for a while in the hotel, when he opened his eyes again, it was already night.

After a day of meditation, his mental strength has been fully restored and his physical weakness has disappeared.

After standing up and stretching his body, Chu Ming returned to the city wall and found Burrett.

Seeing Chu Ming coming, Burrett led him up the city wall.

Then a knight came over and placed the heavy box in front of Chu Ming.

"This is?"

Chu Ming opened the box at Bolet's signal.

In the gap of the box, a faint light lit up, and countless crystals appeared in front of him.

"Are these top-quality crystals?" Chu Ming suddenly looked at Burrett, "Earl Burrett, where did you get so many crystals?"

Burrett smiled and said: "The royal family's bastards want me to guard the royal capital, so naturally I have to blackmail them hard."

"There are a total of three hundred top-quality crystals in here. I don't know if they are enough."

Chu Ming calculated that it would take an average of sixty top-grade crystals to create a rune equipment capable of releasing extreme witchcraft.

And there are three hundred here, which means that as long as all the crystals are made into rune equipment, five epic wizards can be born in the territory!

Thinking of this, Chu Ming couldn't suppress the smile on his face, "Earl Burrett, the crystals here are enough to cultivate five epic wizards."

Burrett was stunned for a moment, with a shocked expression on his face, "Then together with Emeka and Dino, the two epic wizards from the royal capital and the two epic priests from the Church of Life, wouldn't the number of epics in the territory have to reach Fourteen already?!"

Not to mention the fourteen epics, in the history of the Kutz family, they were the only ancestors who created the earldom.

When he got here, not only did his son Edel become an epic, but the number of epics in the territory was about to exceed ten digits!

Brett took a deep breath and looked at Chu Ming, his heart surging.

He knew that all this happened only after the young man in front of him came to the earl territory. If it weren't for Chu Ming, the territory might still be suffering from the intrusion of dark wizards.

Thinking of this, the man also firmly decided to follow Chu Ming's footsteps.

The man sighed: "Narende, I have lived for most of my life, and I have never met a genius like you."

"As long as the territory continues to develop, we might one day be able to compete head-on with the dark wizard."

Chu Ming chuckled, then shook his head, "The terror of dark wizards lies in the god of knowledge and the terrifying power of distortion behind them."

"After accepting the baptism of aberrant power, a small number of dark wizards have broken through the limits of wizards and reached a new level."

"Although I don't know why these powerful dark wizards didn't appear here, we can't underestimate the dark wizards because of this."

"We still have a ways to go."

After hearing this, Burrett walked to the city wall and looked at it, "Sorry, I was too excited."

He sighed, "Sometimes I think that darkness has appeared in ancient times, and there is still no sign of fading away until now. Even the eternal gods are drowned in darkness. Can we mortals really succeed?" To expel the darkness?”

As he spoke, the man shook his head and said amusedly: "Even the dark wizard can't solve it now. It's really ridiculous that I actually thought about such a profound problem."

Chu Ming walked next to him, lost in memories, and said after a long time: "In fact, darkness does follow us everywhere. It is really difficult for the people of Intinuit to imagine what life is like without darkness."

"But no matter what, even if we lose the protection of the gods, we can still come from ancient times to the present despite the erosion of darkness. This is enough to prove the resilience of human civilization."

"As for how to go on the next road, just do your best and destiny will come naturally."

…

Late at night, a hotel near the north gate of the royal capital lit up with lights.

If someone comes in, they will find that there are some well-known figures in the royal capital, such as some powerful earls and nobles, the captain of the knights of the trial with the power of trial, the owner of the wizard tower...

But even if these people have tremendous power in the capital, they have to focus on the young people in front of the long table.

Following everyone's gaze, Chu Ming was sitting at the end of the long table, with his eyes closed and his breath long, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Behind him were two epic wizards, Edel and Emeka, who were also epics, but at this moment they were both willing to accept the orders of the young man in front of them.

These big shots in the past did not dare to breathe, and kept their eyes on Chu Ming, cautiously, for fear of disturbing his rest.

After a while, the sound of metal chains sounded, and Burrett came in with two knights.

"Narender, no one is coming."

Hearing this, Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone.

The big shots were swept away by this plain gaze, and their hearts were apathetic, and they did not dare to speak.

They never imagined that the heroic wizard who was famous in the capital a few years ago would actually grow to this point.

Now even if Chu Ming just stomps his feet, it can cause an earthquake in the entire royal capital.

After taking in the different expressions of everyone, Chu Ming said, "I summoned you all here for a late-night meeting, not because I want to give you power."

"I just want to remind everyone here that if you want to escape from the dark wizard, you must gather all your strength."

"I propose that before entering the north, all the forces in your hands should be gathered together and handed over to Earl Burrett for management."

"After entering the North, you are free to go where you want, and we will not stop you."

"Of course, if anyone is willing to follow us north to the Earldom of Kutz, we also welcome it."

"Everyone, do you have any objections?"

Everyone heard this and shook their heads quickly, fearing that Chu Ming would notice if they expressed their opinions too slowly.

Just kidding, if you really raise an objection, whether you can walk out of this hotel today is a question.

They still understand this aspect of the situation clearly. At least before entering the northern border, this man's words cannot be violated.

After all, the four remaining epics in the royal capital all followed Chu Ming's footsteps, including himself and Knight Edel.

Such a huge force can sweep across the entire kingdom without any problem.

Not to mention that the young man in front of him has a strong record of defeating more than a dozen epic wizards. Anyone who sees him wants to kneel down and call him a foster father.

Most of the forces are still very excited about Chu Ming's suggestion to go north to the Earldom of Kutz.

The dark wizard already has the power to capture the southern border. After the royal capital passes, the northern border will also be in danger.

At this time, seeking asylum from the Earl of Coutts, which has so many epic powers, is an irresistible choice.

Of course, some forces have deep relationships with the royal family or other earldom nobles, so they may not necessarily choose the Earldom of Kutz.

But in fact, for Chu Ming, the choice of these forces is really not important.

The only ones he has eyes for are the priests of the church and the wizards of the wizard tower. As for these forces, only some knights can barely get into his eyes.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Chu Ming continued: "Of course, our protection is not without price. Please bring out the useless top-quality crystals in your inventory in exchange."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell silent, and some people were already secretly cursing in their hearts.

What is useless high-quality crystal? This thing is considered scarce everywhere, and it is a resource that is usually reluctant to use.

Unexpectedly, when Chu Ming opened his mouth, he asked for the best crystals in their inventory, which made everyone find it difficult to accept it for a while.

Seeing everyone's ugly expressions as if they had eaten flies, Chu Ming said slowly and unhurriedly: "Everyone, think about it slowly, we still have one night."

"After tonight, even if you have the best crystal, it will be useless. By then, it will most likely fall into the hands of a dark wizard."

When everyone heard such a naked threat, they cursed in their hearts, gritted their teeth in anger, and finally agreed.

Looking at their expressions, Chu Ming knew that his move had offended many people.

But so what, as long as you can get the best crystals, you can add a few more epic wizards to the territory.

Those forces that want to enter the territory will only be absorbed by the Wizard Tower or the Earldom Knights, posing no threat at all.

And those forces that want to go to other counties, facing the Count of Coutts with many epics, don't even dare to let go of a fart, and maybe they will die directly in the confrontation with the dark wizard in the future.

To be honest, Chu Ming would be giving them face if he didn't directly start the robbery.

After the meeting, the Cavaliers followed many powerful figures back to collect the best crystals.

In the hotel, after everyone left, Edel's tense face finally relaxed.

He hesitated for a moment and then said to Chu Ming: "Narende, are we doing this too badly?"

Before Chu Ming could reply to him, he received a slap on the head from Burrett. The man said angrily: "Why are you being polite to them? Maybe they will bring harm if they join the territory."

Edel rubbed his head and asked: "Father, are you saying that their entry into the territory will disrupt the order in the city?"

Burrett sighed: "You just think too well of them."

"These people have been in power for a long time. They will definitely not be too peaceful. Entering the territory will be a disaster."

"But as long as the wizards and knights they bring can be absorbed into the territory, it will also promote the development of the territory."

Chu Ming also spoke at this time: "Earl Burrett is right. After returning to the territory, we must find a way to take away control of their power."

"In times like this, stability is the most important thing."

Edel nodded in understanding.

After waiting for an hour, a noble soon sent the first box of top-quality crystals.

Chu Ming opened the wooden box, and there was a faint light inside. More than twenty top-grade crystal fragments lay quietly inside.

After the first box of crystals was delivered, boxes after boxes of crystals were sent by nobles, military officials, businessmen and other people with a series of identities.

It was getting slightly brighter, and when the last box of crystals was delivered, Chu Ming had four hundred more top-quality crystals in his hands.

Including the crystals that Burrett obtained from the royal family, the number of top-grade crystals exceeded 700!

Based on the calculation that one piece of extreme rune equipment requires sixty crystals, that is to say, the number of crystals he now has is enough to make eleven pieces of extreme rune equipment, and the number of epics in the territory will reach twenty!

This force is enough to sweep across the northern border, not to mention confronting the Society of Truth.

Thinking of this, Chu Ming was calm on the surface, but a little excited inside.

In contrast, Edel was more excited than him, and his eyes were so happy that he almost couldn't express the joy on his face.

Emeka and Dino on the side were a little confused when they saw Edel so excited.

Although the best crystal is indeed very precious, it shouldn't be so exciting.

Thoughts flashed through their minds, and after thinking for a while, they labeled Edel as greedy for money. They were already thinking about how to use money to build a good relationship with Edel.

Edel looked at the top-grade crystals all over the ground with a sense of joy, completely unaware that he had been labeled with an inexplicable and strange label by others.
