Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

In order to prevent accidents from happening, Chu Ming deliberately returned to the Blazers and told Edel about the situation.

After hearing this, Edel looked solemn and decided to temporarily stop the development to prepare for the dark giant's attack.

A month later, the dark giant was still missing.

Chu Ming also deliberately returned to the golden light pillar to check. Unexpectedly, not only did the dark giant disappear under the tower, but even the underworld gaze completely disappeared, replaced by the legend of three heads occupying the ruins of the giant tower. biology.

Although the legendary creature was terrifying, it was not as shocking as the Spider Queen.

These legendary creatures were so powerful that he couldn't offend them either, but there was no need to offend them. As long as no one provoked them, they would not deliberately cross the Tianqi Mountains or run into human territory across a long distance.

After confirming that the Spider Queen had really disappeared, Chu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and went back to tell Edel the news.

After a month, the Pioneer Knights launched again. Their goal was to first open up a passage thousands of kilometers long and more than ten kilometers wide from the dark forest to the King's Peninsula, and then open up the empire's territory based on the passage. XJ domain.

This development is destined to be long and requires decades of continuous efforts by the pioneering Cavaliers.

After Chu Ming started the Pioneer Knights, he also started his dark journey again. He walked in the dark forest along the route planned by Edel, leaving a will-o'-the-wisp flower every dozens of kilometers.

He walked in the dark while recording the scenery and things he found on the road. A year passed before he knew it.

Over the past year, he has discovered many traces of strange creatures in the dark forest, and used spiritual crystals to record their bloodline abilities.

And the deeper you go, the thicker the trees inside are and the taller the dark creatures are. He walks like a tiny ant in the dark forest.

Even the ruins or castles left by mankind in the past are not worth mentioning in front of these giant trees.

However, the journey was not always smooth sailing. When he entered the radiation area of ​​the Mythical Forbidden Zone, he discovered several legendary creatures inside.

Chu Ming relied on his immortality and used himself as a bait to provoke legendary creatures within a radius of dozens of kilometers, and launched a protracted melee with these terrifying creatures.

In the first year, Chu Ming was attacked by many legendary creatures and fell into a cycle of body explosion and recovery.

Gradually, there is a legend that the creature wakes up from its bloodthirsty. It discovers that whether it is swallowed alive or crushed, the human in front of it can come back to life and give it a painful blow.

These legendary creatures wanted to leave when they saw something was wrong, but how could Chu Ming let them go so easily.

Whenever these legendary creatures try to escape, he will chase them and beat them up.

After being beaten even more, these legendary creatures lost their minds again and started attacking like crazy.

In the first year, Chu Ming was beaten unilaterally. In the second year, these legendary creatures became so angry that they would fight into a ball without Chu Ming taking action.

In just two years, this dark forest was destroyed to the point where no grass could grow, and the soil was turned over several times.

In the third year, there were finally casualties. One legendary creature died from the attack of other legendary creatures.

During this period, there were also legendary creatures that wanted to retreat, but as long as there were legendary creatures that wanted to retreat, they would be attacked by Chu Ming.

As a result, these legendary creatures are caught in a dilemma, wasting away their strength in a never-ending battle.

When the fourth year came, the number of deaths of legendary creatures had reached three, and only three legendary creatures that were more resistant to beating were left on the scene.

In order to catch up with the progress, Chu Ming used all his strength to eliminate the last three legendary creatures before the pioneering knights came to this area.

After resting on the mountains of corpses for a few days, Chu Ming continued walking deeper into the dark forest.

A month later, when the Pioneer Knights arrived in this area, they only found the remains of the mountain-like corpses of the giant beasts, as well as a tide of beasts gathering under the corpses.

…

Twenty years later.

In the dark forest, Chu Ming finally eliminated the last legendary creature in the radiation range of the mythical restricted area.

The radiation range of the Mythical Forbidden Zone covers hundreds of miles in the middle section of the passage. After dealing with these dark creatures, this development will be more than half completed.

Although Chu Ming mostly stayed alone in the dark forest, sometimes he would go back to visit Isabel and the others.

Thirteen years ago, Isabel broke through to three-star epics with the help of dream meditation, and Allen also broke through to three-star epics three years ago. The number of epics in the entire empire is close to two hundred.

However, the expansion of epic combat power is achieved by consuming the best crystals. This growth is not lasting, and the growth rate will return to normal soon.

As the monarch of the empire, Edel's cultivation has not fallen behind, and he has also practiced meditation to the level of two epic stars.

But what surprised Chu Ming the most was that during the long battle, Edel continued to explore the way of knights, and actually found a feasible way for him to break through the limits of human blood.

Although he is still in the process of enlightenment, as long as he succeeds, he can become the first knight in the Dark Age who can reach the epic level without relying on any external objects.

This is of great significance, and for this reason, Chu Ming often returns to the Blazers to discuss breakthrough ideas with Edel.

In the dark forest, Chu Ming walked out of a ruins left by humans.

Unfortunately, he found nothing useful, and even the books that recorded knowledge and history were turned into ashes over the long years.

Chu Ming stood there and thought for a while, then took out the map, "If the map is correct, there should be only the last 100 kilometers left from the border of King's Peninsula."

He threw a will-o'-the-wisp seed on the ground and continued walking forward.

Three months later, Chu Ming successfully crossed the dark land and reached the end point marked on the map.

"Is the King's Peninsula area ahead..."

Chu Ming took a deep breath and sighed a little in his heart.

He walked forward without slowness or haste.

But before he could leave the dark place, there was a loud noise in front of him.

"Don't run!"

A figure wearing leather armor and a hood appeared in front of Chu Ming. He jumped nimbly through the forest.

Behind the mysterious man, several knights were chasing him with their steel armors ringing and their spears raised.

"Um?!"

Seeing someone suddenly appear in front of him, the person looked startled, passed Chu Ming, and continued running back.

A stranger suddenly appeared in the dark forest, and the knight suddenly became wary.

"Who are you?!"

Just as Chu Ming was about to speak, several knights rushed over, raising their spears and trying to force him to surrender.

But the next second, a black shadow struck, and the knights' vision went dark, and they fainted.

"There seems to be a guide missing."

Chu Ming touched his chin, his sleeves fluttered, and a vine shot into the forest.

After a while, a cry of surprise came back from the distance, and the escaped guy was tied up with tree vines and caught.

"Are you a wizard?!"

The mysterious man's voice was a little childish, and his tone was a little surprised.

Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and did not respond. Instead, he grabbed the unconscious knight and led these people out of the dark forest.

"let me go!"

The man squirmed uncomfortably. Seeing that Chu Ming ignored him, he panicked completely and begged for mercy: "Master Wizard, please let me go."

Chu Ming paused and asked with interest: "What's your name?"

The man was stunned for a moment, "I...my name is...Javier!"

Chu Ming shook his head, "Why is there no sincerity between people?"

"Let me ask you, is the King's Peninsula ahead of us, right?"

"if not……"

The man spoke quickly, but he soon realized something and swallowed hard, "Could it be that you are coming from the other side?"

"if not."

Chu Ming smiled and responded with the same words, and then continued to walk forward.

"What?!"

Blush instantly covered his face, but it was difficult to cover up his shock.

The man hurriedly said: "Sir...Sir, we really can't go any further. Now the major kingdoms are hunting down the Blood Riders and the related wizards. If you take me out, I will implicate you."

"You...let me go, so we can get together and get away."

Chu Ming shook his head, "You'd better tell me what's going on in the King's Peninsula now. If I'm in a good mood, I might let you go."

"And don't talk to me like you're using witchcraft."

The man hesitated for a moment, then the male voice disappeared following the witchcraft fluctuations, and the girl's clear voice sounded, "What should I say?"

"Well...let's start with Niho College."

Hearing that this mysterious wizard was interested in Niho College, the girl hurriedly said: "Sir, my name is Fia Kubrick. I am a student of Niho College and a knight of the Witch Rider Sect."

As she spoke, Feiya pulled down her hood, revealing a delicate girl's face. On her slightly fleshy cheeks, her watery eyes moved slightly restlessly.

On her short flaxen hair, there is a Niho College emblem hairpin.

"Witch Cavalry Sect?"

Chu Ming showed an interested look on his face, "Then what?"

The girl's voice paused, and her panicked voice gradually became calmer. She tried to organize her words, "Witch Cavalry is one of the three major sects in the college. It is a new applied school that has been born for hundreds of years. The purpose of the school is to explore witchcraft and knights. The combination of secret techniques allows knights to break through the limitations of bloodline.”

"And our Blood Cavalry Group is the representative of the Witch Riding School and has been committed to the development of the knight's secret method."

As she spoke, her tone was a little low, "But a year ago, the other two sects in the academy - the Griffin School and the Hunting School suddenly slandered us as studying dark secrets and launched a hunt for the Blood Riders."

"If I go back like this, I will definitely be arrested. I beg you to let me go."

The girl sounded aggrieved and burst into tears.

Chu Ming was unmoved and said: "You still have something crucial to say. Are you really studying the dark secret method?"

"How is that possible!" Fiya's voice suddenly rose up, and her aggrieved voice disappeared instantly, "It's just...just..."

The girl hesitated and looked at Chu Ming secretly.

Chu Ming smiled patiently and said, "If you don't tell me, I will hand you over to the Cavaliers."

"Ah?!" Feiya looked at Chu Ming, her eyes seemed to be looking at the devil, she hesitated: "Actually, our Blood Riders have developed a new knight secret method. Other schools covet the new secret method and want to I asked for it from the Blood Riders, but the leader didn’t give it, so I was arrested..."

Chu Ming suddenly said: "You are talking about the secret method to break through the limits of knights, right?"

When Feiya heard this, her body stiffened. After a while, she gritted her teeth and nodded, "Sir, please let me go."

"Don't worry, I have no interest in you."

After waving to the girl behind him, Chu Ming gradually walked out of the dark forest. The sun shone through the shadows of the trees. The rotten atmosphere gradually faded away, and the warm sunshine fell.

"Someone's out!"

Outside the border camp, the knights were alert and surrounded them.

"Ruined."

Feiya, who was tied up by tree vines behind Chu Ming, looked desperate and gave up her struggle.

"It's really warm. Someone actually greeted me."

Chu Ming smiled and threw the unconscious knights back.

He had been walking alone in the dark for three months, and suddenly seeing so many people made him feel a little relieved.

Ignoring the alert knight, Chu Ming looked at Feiya behind him and said, "Where is Niho College? Give me some directions."

"careful."

Fia didn't respond to his words, but exclaimed.

I saw several knights rushing forward with shields, trying to knock Chu Ming down.

But the man just waved his hand slightly, and the vines swept out, and all the knights fell to the ground instantly.

Chu Ming repeated: "Give me the direction."

The girl nodded blankly and pointed to the northeast.

Chu Ming glanced at the knight who was lying on the ground and trying to get up. With a touch of his right hand, the night was torn out, and he and the girl disappeared together.

In the night passage, Chu Ming let go of the shackles of the tree vines and wrapped her in spiritual clothes.

Suddenly entering this unfamiliar environment, the girl grabbed Chu Ming's arm uneasily.

Chu Ming said calmly: "Don't move, or you will fall out."

"What kind of witchcraft is this?"

For some reason, the girl's anxious expression disappeared and she became curious.

Chu Ming smiled and said: "If you want to know, tell me about the knight's secret method, and I will tell you."

When the girl heard this, she pursed her lips, as if she didn't know, I didn't understand.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming took Feiya out of the night and appeared in a wilderness.

"This is teleportation!"

Feiya was secretly surprised. She had been communicating with wizards for so long, and she had never heard of such a magical teleportation witchcraft with no side effects.

While she was still dazed, Chu Ming looked over and said, "Tell me, if I take you back to Niho College, will those knights give me the secret method?"

When Feiya heard this, she was shocked. She guarded her body vigilantly and quickly moved away from Chu Ming. "No way, even if you hand me over to them, they will give you a few copper coins at most."

"That's really difficult..." Chu Ming smiled and moved his body, "By the way, you won't be the only one left in the Blood Cavalry, right?"

"me……"

Fiya wanted to refute, but her mind suddenly recalled what happened in the past year, and she fell into silence.

Looking at the silent girl, Chu Ming asked seriously: "Why didn't you choose to announce the secret method and put yourself in such an embarrassing situation?"

Feiya pursed her lips and said: "The new secret method still has flaws. Knights who practice the new secret method will gradually lose their human blood and transform into beasts."

"Since the rise of wizards, Niho Academy, which specializes in cultivating knights, has gradually declined and lost its previous status. The knights of the Griffin School value restoring the glory of the academy more than their lives. If these guys who don't understand witchcraft are allowed to I can’t imagine the consequences if you mess around.”

"Although the Blood Knights have repeatedly emphasized that the secret method needs to be improved, they obviously can't wait any longer."

As she spoke, the girl gritted her teeth and said: "The Blood Riders originally wanted to study the secret method quietly, but these guys were unreasonable and insisted on taking it."

"If it hadn't been for the loss of life by now, I would have grabbed the leader of the Griffin School and beat him up."

Chu Ming asked curiously: "Does your dean not care?"

Fia gave him a strange look, "Dean Lucas is the leader of the Griffin School."

"Ahem, that's quite dramatic."

Chu Ming smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that the students of Niho College thousands of years later would be so tough and wanted to catch the dean and beat him up.

If he had encountered such students during his tenure, he would have had a headache.

"So in the final analysis, this matter is just a small fight."

"What do you mean by making a small fuss?" Feiya put her hands on her hips and glared at him unconvincingly, "It's very serious, the reputation of our Blood Riders has been completely ruined by these guys."

Chu Ming glanced at her and said, "Why are you so excited? You are not the leader."

"I..." Feiya hesitated, "It's not the leader. Everyone in our Blood Cavalry Group is passionate like me."

"hehe……"

Chu Ming had another deep meaning in his eyes and smiled without saying a word.

Feiya saw the man's gaze and pursed her lips, "Okay, I'm the leader."

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then you should take me to Niho College to have a look. Maybe your dean will give me some face and let you Blood Riders go."

"By the way, I also have other matters to go to Niho College to discuss with your dean."

The passage connecting the Empire and the King in the Dark Land is about to be opened. Facing this strange empire, the peninsula countries will inevitably panic and may make some irrational actions. However, if they can cooperate with the prestigious Niho Academy in the peninsula in advance, Making good friends expresses the empire's friendliness and willingness to cooperate, and reduces fights with other countries.

With the coordination of Niho College, the Blood Moon Alliance and many of the top forces on the peninsula, the war situation among the countries on the King's Peninsula has been in a state of stagnation for a long time. Once there are signs of conflicts, the major forces will immediately resolve them. , even someone as noble as a king will step down because of this.

The advantage of this is that wars rarely break out between the peninsula countries, making it easier to unite to fight against the tide of dark beasts.

But the disadvantage is that the institutional policies among countries will gradually tend to be conservative, and it is easy to accumulate greater contradictions.

Faced with a new empire, it is difficult to imagine what the conservative countries would do.

"The situation on the King's Peninsula should also change." Chu Ming murmured.

Compared with the increasingly terrifying tide of darkness, human civilization is going backwards if it remains unchanged. If the King's Peninsula continues to be managed in this patriarchal way, it will only become more conservative and will be swallowed up by the tide of darkness sooner or later.
