Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

At the door of the church, a priest saw Chu Ming coming, bowed and asked: "Lord Narender, are you here to see High Priest Isabel?"

"The high priest told me that if you come to see her, let me take you there directly."

"Trouble."

Following the priest into the church, he looked around and found that the surrounding landscape layout was basically the same as the church in the royal capital.

With the help of the pastor, the church was built very quickly, and it only took half a year to complete.

Passing through the courtyard corridor, Chu Ming came to the strange yet familiar attic.

The priest knocked on the door, "High Priest Isabel, Lord Narender is here to see you."

"Ah?" The girl's voice came from inside, and she said in a panic: "Ai...Pastor Emma, ​​please wait a moment."

There was a movement inside, and then Isabel opened the door and moved her eyes to Chu Ming.

"Pastor Emma, ​​please excuse me."

She thanked the priest and took Chu Ming into the attic.

Chu Ming looked inside and saw that the furniture here looked more simple and plain compared to the Wangdu. When he came to the table, he could vaguely see traces of chaos on the table, and a page of paper was exposed from the gap in the cabinet door.

It looked like the girl had tidied up the messy table before he came in.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

The arrogant Pearl made a purring sound when she saw Chu Ming.

Chu Ming chuckled and stroked Pearly's snow-white feathers.

Isabel blushed slightly and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"

Chu Ming turned around and said with a smile: "The research has come to an end recently, so I planned to come over to see you."

When the girl heard this, a sweet smile appeared on her face.

"By the way, is the bracelet I gave you before still usable?"

Isabel was stunned. She lowered her head and touched the dim bracelet on her hand, as if she was afraid that he would be unhappy. The girl whispered: "Polly broke it with a peck not long ago. I shouldn't have put my hand there."

Seeing her careful look, Chu Ming couldn't help but reach out and rub her long, smooth hair, "It's okay. If it's broken, I'll fix it for you."

"You should have told me earlier."

As he spoke, he took the girl's white hand, opened the buckle, and took off the bracelet.

Isabel hummed softly and hugged him, "Mr. Wizard, do you have something to do again?"

Feeling the soft body in his arms, Chu Ming kissed her white forehead, "It's all small things."

After comforting the girl, he asked about the recent situation in the church, then told the girl to have a good rest and left the church.

While walking on the road, Chu Ming began to think, "It seems that the wizard's cabin is a bit far from the center of the new capital. Even getting to the Tower of Knowledge takes about an hour."

"Perhaps I need to talk to Allen sometime and ask him to help me choose a new address for the wizard's cabin."

Thinking about it, Chu Ming was walking halfway when he suddenly met a hurried knight on a horse on a main street with few people.

When the hasty knight saw Chu Ming, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "Sir Narender, Mr. Burrett has something to ask you."

"Bolet?" Chu Ming looked confused, "Is there anything important?"

The knight quickly replied: "The royal family sent a messenger here to discuss something. The master asked me to come to you."

"The master and them are now in the clan meeting hall in the old city."

"My lord, if you have to rush there, you can ride on this horse."

After hearing this, Chu Ming smiled and said, "Knight, thank you."

After saying that, he took the reins from the knight and ran towards the old city.

Ten minutes later, he successfully entered the old clan's territory and arrived at the meeting hall under the guidance of the maid.

As soon as Chu Ming walked inside, he heard Burrett's cold voice.

"Sorry, Mr. Leo, I am not the earl of this territory now. Maybe you shouldn't ask me."

Opposite Burrett, the man named Leo was wearing a red coat decorated with a circle of golden tassels. His collar stood up high, which made him look like he was looking down at everyone.

According to the knight guarding the door, the envoy who came here from other counts was a close official responsible for helping William Stearman handle government affairs, and he had a certain status even in the royal family.

The man smiled and said: "No, no, no, Earl Burrett, your title has not yet been approved by His Majesty. You are still the master here."

"How have you considered the proposal your Majesty mentioned? It's just a small inheritance of spiritual wizards. I believe that in this territory, those wizards dare not disobey your orders."

"The royal family wants a spiritual wizard inheritance?"

Chu Ming squinted his eyes slightly. It seems that the development of the Wizard Tower in recent years has attracted a lot of jealous people. After all, only spiritual wizards can make the rune equipment that sells best in the entire North. The royal family has inherited spiritual wizards. Greed is also normal.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he stepped into the meeting hall.

He nodded to Borrett, then looked at the man, "I heard that you want my wizard inheritance?"

Leo was stunned and smiled brightly, "This must be Lord Narender."

"To be precise, the inheritance of spiritual wizards belongs to the empire, and you have no right to monopolize it."

"At this critical moment of the empire's survival, you should dedicate your inheritance to His Majesty and contribute to the empire's survival."

Chu Ming laughed angrily, "If you want to inherit the spiritual wizard, you can ask Isabel William Sterman to exchange for a thousand top-quality crystals."

When Leo heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "Lord Narender, you have to think about it. This is the idea of ​​His Majesty and the major counts. As long as you present the spiritual wizard inheritance, you will be favored by the empire. To be sought after, to be remembered in history, even your relationship with Saint Isabelle can be recognized by the royal family.”

"If you really want to violate the wishes of the empire with the so-called spiritual wizard inheritance, then the empire will definitely not show mercy."

Hearing such a naked threat, Chu Ming sneered: "What a loud tone."

"What makes you think that you can represent the empire? Is it the royal family that is so miserable, or those cowardly earls?"

"You don't need to remember my achievements, there are people who will praise them."

"What does the matter between Isabel and I have to do with you?"

Leo's face gradually turned ugly, "Are you sure you want to go against the wishes of His Majesty and the nobles?"

Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I don't care about your wishes. If you can, please go back and tell William Sterman. If you are jealous, you are jealous. There is no need to put a high hat on yourself."

"If you want the spiritual wizard inheritance, come to me in the Earl of Kutz to get it. I'll be waiting for you."

Leo snorted with a dark face, and then he looked at Burrett, "Earl Burrett, don't you take good care of the wizards in your territory?"

Burrett smiled politely and said: "Narender's wish is my wish. Mr. Leo, please come back."

"By the way, give me a message for William Stellman."

The man stopped talking and cursed: "Let him wash his neck well, I will kick his head like a ball."

Leo was stunned, and his anger suddenly rose, "Okay, you are so good, Count Kurtz, you will pay the price for what you said today, hum!"

The man waved angrily and left the meeting hall with a group of knights.

After the royal envoy disappeared into the night, Burrett came back to his senses and laughed: "Hahaha, I have wanted to say this for a long time, damn William Stellman."

Chu Ming also laughed and said: "Those who don't know better think they are here to beg for food. They have such a bad mouth and want big fish and meat."

Burrett chuckled, gradually calmed down, and said thoughtfully: "The royal family plus the epics from other earls have a total of twenty-four epic battles."

"Although our strength is not much different from theirs, if the royal family really wants to attack the territory at all costs, they will be in a stalemate with us for a period of time. In this way, the development of the territory will be hindered."

"And what worries me the most is the dark wizard. If we start a war, I'm afraid the dark wizard will take advantage of the situation."

Chu Ming listened quietly.

Burrett's worries are not unreasonable. If the territory is really hostile to the entire northern border, then all the current construction and development of the territory will come to a halt.

Moreover, the dark wizard will take advantage of their confrontation to act, which is not conducive to maintaining the current North-South confrontation.

If he had to think about it before, but now...he no longer has to worry.

Thinking of this, the corners of Chu Ming's mouth raised slightly, "Bolet, don't worry at all, I have made a new breakthrough in my strength."

Brett was stunned for a moment, then realized something.

A breakthrough in epic power, isn’t that a higher level of power? !

…

The two chatted until midnight and decided to ask the knight to quickly inform the three epics in the pass fortress about what they discovered today and recall them to avoid falling into the control of the royal capital.

Then Burrett sent knights to inform Edel, asking him to go to the border of the earldom to guard from today on, and sent some reconnaissance knights to other earldoms to learn about the royal family's movements.

Starting tonight, the Earldom of Coutts will be on alert, with epic forces and knights ready to dispatch at any time to prevent attacks by knights from other Earldoms.

However, things turned out to be worse than they thought. Even before the royal family sent the mission, they teamed up with the epic wizards to detain the three epics sent by Chu Ming to guard the pass fortress.

Early this morning, bad news came back one after another. The royal family announced that Earl Buret and the epic wizard Narender were treason, and the surrounding counties all announced that they would sever all relations with the Earl of Coutts.

Even the rune equipment that had just been shipped outside the territory had been seized by the major counts.

Judging from their attitude, it seems they don’t want to return it.

Not only that, in just one night, a large number of knights began to gather at the junction of the Earldom of Kutz and other Earldoms.

The royal family was able to respond so quickly, and it is difficult not to make people suspect that they were ready to encroach on the earldom of Coutts long before they sent the envoys into the earldom of Coutts.

If Chu Ming really intends to hand over the spiritual wizard inheritance, the royal family may still choose to take action.

After all, in the earldom of Coutts alone, there are about 20 epics, which is almost catching up with the number of epics in the entire northern border. This makes the royal family have to be suspicious, even if they risk the dark wizard. The risk is also to eradicate the Earl of Coutts.

After this series of changes occurred, the news that the earldom was going to confront the entire northern territory was quickly spread to the territory by interested people. In just one day, many wizards defected.

All the towns in the territory were in panic, and some barons and viscounts were also thinking about their retreat.

However, there are epic forces sitting around, and no matter how many ideas they have, they dare not show them.

They can only hope that when the earldom is captured, the royal family can retain their titles.

In the wizard's cabin, Isabel, Edel and others came to ask Chu Ming about the situation with concern. After understanding what happened, Edel and Allen didn't say much and behaved very calmly.

Isabel, on the other hand, had a hint of worry in her eyes.

Now that a large number of knights gathered at the border of the territory, Edel had to rush to lead the witch cavalry to guard the border. After a few words in a hurry, he and Chu Ming left the wizard hut.

At this time, Isabel and Allen were the only ones left in the house.

Chu Ming sat on the sofa and asked Allen: "How is the situation in the city and the Wizard Tower now?"

Allen shook his head, "Many fortifications in the city have been shut down. The workers are very panicked and can no longer work."

"The situation here in the Wizard Tower is not bad. The wizards and apprentices are focused on research and learning and don't care much about this matter. They believe that we can solve it."

"On the contrary, many wizards in the wizard team recruited by Mr. Burrett have defected. The wizard team of about 200 people now has less than 200 people."

Chu Ming nodded thoughtfully, "How is the situation in other towns now?"

Allen shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be a problem if there are other epic wizards here."

"The issue that Mr. Burrett is most worried about now is that the royal family will lead the epics to attack. After all, three of our epic combat forces have been detained, and the epics in the territory are still scattered in various towns. It will be difficult to react if there is a sudden attack. come over."

After saying that, Allen walked to the door.

"Don't worry." Chu Ming stood up and said goodbye to Allen who was about to leave. "After today, I will go to the border. Then you can arrange for three epics to follow me."

After hearing this, Allen's face changed, "Narender, do you want to take the initiative?"

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Although I don't know where their epic power is hidden now, as long as I go to the border, I should be able to attract many epics to come and deal with me."

Allen solemnly said: "I will go back and summon the epic wizard now."

After saying that, he left the hut and walked back towards the wizard's tower.

When Chu Ming and Isabel were the only two people left in the house, the girl came forward worriedly, "Mr. Wizard, how about I take the priest with you."

Chu Ming rubbed her hand, "If all the pastors of the Church of Life leave, then the territory will really be unguarded. I'm afraid that dark wizards will attack then."

"You wait here for me to come back, and I'll leave the territory to you."

As he spoke, he held the girl's slender waist under her white dress and looked at her quietly.

Isabel looked up at him, hiding her worries in her heart, and nodded, "Okay, then I will wait for you to come back in the territory."

"Don't lie to me."

Chu Ming pinched her little face and said with a smile: "Don't worry, just because those guys are not my enemies."

Isabel nodded seriously and believed what he said.

…

After saying goodbye to Isabel, Chu Ming packed up the things in the laboratory and put the crystal staff into the bag.

When he goes to the border at this time, he may encounter not only the epics of the royal family and the major counties, but also the dark wizards may interfere with them, and he has to be on guard.

After packing his things, Chu Ming went to the Wizard Tower to get a horse, and came to the old tribe to say goodbye to Burrett.

After that, he walked through a deserted new city and came to the Tower of Knowledge.

Compared with yesterday, there were a lot less people here now, and the city became very alert. Before he came to the Wizard Tower, he had already encountered four waves of patrolling knights.

After entering the wizard tower and waiting for a while, until night fell, Allen hurriedly returned to the wizard tower with three epic wizards.

In the hall on the twelfth floor of the Wizard Tower, Chu Ming poured a glass of water for Allen.

The three epic wizards he brought back this time all know different extreme witchcrafts. Among them, Suraya's ultimate witchcraft is the Stone Vine Giant. The other two deep blue wizards cultivated by the wizard tower are named Keshid Fatai and Cynthia Gomes uses extreme witchcraft, namely Demonic Skeleton Dragon Vine and Burning Parasite.

After Allen took a sip of water, he hurriedly said: "I called Keshid and Cynthia back from nearby towns. I went to see them. There was no movement in the towns around the territory."

The male wizard named Keshid said: "Teacher Narender, there is no movement of the black wizard for the time being."

"Well..." Chu Ming stood up, "Alan should have told you. You can follow me for the rest of the time. I will ensure your safety."

Keshid said excitedly: "I'll do whatever it takes!"

Suraya and Cynthia also nodded quickly.

At this time, Allen hesitated and said: "Narende, there are still old seniors like Emeka and the epic priests of the church sitting in the territory. I want to follow you."

Chu Ming was stunned, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then let's come together. The territory no longer needs your protection as before."

In the middle of the night, Chu Ming took four epics out of the city and came to the front of the mountain.

Allen waved his staff, and a demonic dragon vine burst out of the ground. The five of them sat on it and walked toward the border.

…

If you can overlook the entire Earldom of Kutz, you can find that one end of the Earldom's border is a dark place, and the other end is bordered by three Earldoms.

The three earldoms are divided into the earldom of Jones, the earldom of Winter and the earldom of Dawn.

Among them, the Earldom of Jones was the one that had been trading crystals with the Wizard Tower before.

After the royal family came to the north, they occupied two counties, one of which was the county of Jones, which owned mineral veins.

The Earldom of Severe Winter is the only way for them to go to the pass fortress in the North and South. It is also the only area in the North with a large plain. Its prosperity is not comparable to that of ordinary Earldoms.

As for the Earldom of Dawn and the Earldom of Coutts, they are both bordering the Dark Land.

Before Chu Ming came to the Earl of Kutz, the Earl of Daun and the Earl of Kutz were two poor brothers.

Now, the Earldom of Kutz has left it far behind and has become a popular Earldom where wizards gather.
