Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Kroris was originally a child from a poor farmer in a village in the south, but when he was eight years old, several Tower of Knowledge wizards who came to the village completely changed the trajectory of his life.

After these wizards conducted apprenticeship tests on the children in the village, they discovered Krolis's amazing wizarding talent. With the consent of his parents, they brought him back to the Tower of Knowledge for training.

And Croris did not disappoint. With his talent and hard work, he became an official wizard in only three years.

At the same time, his talent and hard work came into Allen's sight, and he naturally became his student.

When Kroris was nineteen years old, he had already reached the epic level, and his understanding of various witchcraft concepts was even more thorough than those old epic wizards.

Later, in order to sharpen him, Allen added him to the list of people rushing to the King's Peninsula and sent him to the border of the peninsula to observe and eliminate the tide of darkness.

He has been at the border for a year now, taking over from the wizard who once managed the teleportation crystal.

The man carefully finished writing the report in the candlelight and breathed a sigh of relief.

Cloris looked outside the wooden house and murmured: "Time flies so fast."

He stood up and was about to go back to bed to start meditating tonight. Suddenly, he found a faint light flashing inside his backpack.

He was stunned for a moment and took out the crystal from his backpack.

His eyes were dazed, and he recalled what the last wizard who managed crystals said.

"The crystal is flashing. Could it be that... Lord Narender is coming back?!"

Krolis's eyes lit up, and great anticipation suddenly rose in his heart.

Although he had learned the name of Narender, the guardian of the Empire and the owner of the Tower of Knowledge, from the village elders before he entered the Wizard Tower, he had never seen him in person.

He had gone to ask Allen about this before. After learning that Chu Ming had left the empire to travel, he felt disappointed but also yearned for it.

He sometimes thought about how great it would be if he had been born decades earlier and traveled with adults.

"Lord Narender..."

Krolis, who had always been calm, felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He held the teleportation crystal and came outside the wooden house.

He stared closely at the sparkling crystal in his hand, looking forward to the legendary night falling here.

Although this fusion witchcraft called Night Teleportation has appeared in the witchcraft collection cataloged by the Wizard Tower, there are not many wizards who can actually practice it, and most of them are stumbling, unlike the rumor that Chu Ming can do it with a wave of his hand. It's so cool to teleport an army.

Cloris waited quietly, and the time soon came into the night.

The teleportation crystal in his hand shone brighter and brighter, and suddenly the light lit up like daylight. A night curtain spread out from beside him, with stars flowing above and strange scenes floating inside.

Croris stared closely at the night curtain, and a very young wizard wearing gray robes walked out of it.

The wizard glanced around, focused on Croris, and asked, "Are you the wizard on duty here?"

In order to prevent himself from being rude in front of Chu Ming, Croris secretly suppressed his inner excitement and nodded vigorously towards Chu Ming.

"Lord Narender, you...Hello, my name is Croris, and this is the border of the King's Peninsula."

Chu Ming glanced at the young man in front of him, suddenly noticed something, and said softly, "How old are you?"

"Sir, I am twenty years old."

Chu Ming sighed: "You are really young."

"It seems that there is a successor to the Wizard Tower."

"work hard."

Chu Ming patted his shoulder, turned and left.

Croris stood there blankly, his face flushed, and the excitement finally appeared on his face after being unable to suppress it.

Just after returning to King's Peninsula, Chu Ming first went to Niho College to take a look.

But to his regret, Lucas passed away twenty years ago, and Fia was not around, so a young man took over her position as dean.

When the new dean saw Chu Ming appear, he instantly remembered Lucas's instructions during his lifetime, and excitedly wanted to invite Chu Ming to the auditorium for dinner.

Chu Ming politely declined the man's invitation, and after giving him a few words of encouragement, he left Niho College and teleported towards the Fengyang Empire.

One day later, Chu Ming appeared in the northern passage.

Although it is called a passage, three new provinces of the empire have been opened up here, completely wrapping the passage inside.

Chu Ming found the location of the new generation of pioneer knights and wanted to meet Edel, but to his surprise, the person holding the teleportation crystal was not Edel himself, but a strange young girl.

The girl was wearing silver-white streamlined armor, with a helmet covering her face.

After seeing Chu Ming walking out of the night, the girl knight who was still fighting the epic creature was obviously stunned for a moment.

In such a moment of confusion, the epic creature opposite her seized the opportunity and pounced on the girl with its claws and fangs bared.

"Oops!"

The girl secretly shouted, she stretched out her right hand and an invisible force came out of her body, falling heavily on the epic creature.

"Roar!"

The creature that looked like a giant bear roared, ignoring the pressure, and slapped her with its huge claws.

The girl's eyes shrank, and countless green blades emerged from her body and slashed towards the giant claw, but it was of no use. The giant bear hated the human beings in front of him, and would take down the giant claw even at the risk of serious injury.

At this critical moment, Chu Ming, who had been watching the battle next to her, spoke.

"not bad."

The next second, ripples of golden light erupted from his heart with intimidation.

boom! !

The giant bear's heart burst, and it fell down with fear in its eyes.

The girl lay on the ground and gasped for air. Then she focused on Chu Ming and her tone became excited, "Are you Uncle Narender?"

Her voice was as crisp as a bird's, and the Qinggang on her body was retracted, and the helmet dissipated, revealing a heroic and beautiful face that was somewhat similar to Edel.

The girl's spring-like eyes rippled, and she smiled sweetly, "My name is Salena, Salena Kurtz."

A daze flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, and he sighed: "That's right, I'm back."

He didn't expect that after so many years, Edel's children would grow up so much, which made him feel as if he was in another world.

"Hehe..." Salena smiled happily, and she looked at Chu Ming with admiring eyes, "Uncle Narender, I heard from my father that you have traveled around the world. What is the outside world like? I Somewhat curious."

Salena grew up listening to Chu Ming's stories, from the defeat of the epic beast, to the public trial in the royal capital that shocked everyone, the war in the northern passage, the forbidden war... She never got tired of hearing these stories, and she longed to become Great heroes like Chu Ming and her father Edel.

Her father Edel would hold her hand from time to time and brag to her about his experiences back then. He would also regret not going out with Chu Ming when he lamented.

Chu Ming stroked her head, "Traveling around the world is not an easy task, and if you have to walk alone in the dark for years or even decades, it's not as good as you thought."

The girl held his hand and said coquettishly: "Then when I go out, I must bring many, many people with me, so that I won't be bored."

“It’s definitely a good thing to get out more.”

Chu Ming smiled and nodded without attacking the girl.

"By the way, where is your father now? I just came back and am going to look for him."

Hearing this, Salena chuckled softly and said, "Father, he is currently dealing with those troublesome nobles. There are so many of them, and they are all so selfish, they will definitely surrender obediently."

As she said that, the girl focused her eyes on him and asked excitedly: "Uncle Narender, how did you come up with this method to defeat those nobles?"

"Just read more books."

Chu Ming waved to the girl, "I'm leaving. I'll see you again later."

After saying goodbye to Salena, Chu Ming spent some time teleporting back to the wizard's cabin.

As soon as he returned to the hut, he heard pleasant humming coming from the kitchen.

He looked over and saw that Fiya, who was a little more mature, was making breakfast and knew nothing about his return.

Chu Ming approached and asked curiously: "What are you cooking?"

"I'm...why did you come back suddenly?!"

Feiya was startled and glared at Chu Ming.

"Why didn't you say anything when you came back? You scared me to death."

Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "I haven't been back for so long, why can't you say something nice?"

The woman said angrily: "I can treat you to some soup, right?"

She picked up the pottery bowl and filled a bowl of soup for Chu Ming.

Chu Ming took the soup and took a sip, complaining, "It's really weird to drink soup in the morning."

"Hmph, if you don't drink it, spit it out."

“Delicious!”

Chu Ming gave her a thumbs up.

"That's pretty much it."

Feiya raised the corners of her mouth and smiled proudly.

"By the way, I brought you a different secret book."

…

After resting for a day in the wizard's cabin, Chu Ming teleported towards the Earldom of Winter.

Earldom of Severe Winter, in the square of Severe Winter City.

"Your Majesty, please let us go!"

Several nobles knelt on the ground, begging Edel.

After so many years, Edel's temples have long turned gray. He has a faint smile on his face and an invisible threat on his body.

"Viscount Susan, what are you talking about? Of course the empire will not do anything to you, but you privately occupy the territory of the empire. Even if I am more tolerant and let you avoid punishment, this land will still be owned by the empire. .”

After hearing this, all the nobles beat their chests and cried bitterly.

Territory is everything to nobles like them. Edel is not asking for their territory, he is killing them.

Edel looked at their appearance and said softly: "Everyone, even if the territory is taken back, you can still enjoy the previous noble titles. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, the empire will consider re-triing your crimes and stripping you of your titles together. "

As soon as these words came out, the nobles who had been crying immediately stopped their tears, and looked at Edel with resentful eyes like aggrieved little women.

Ignoring these nobles, Edel rode on his horse and prepared to go to the next town.

Suddenly, a voice sounded from beside him.

"Edel, I'm back."

The man's body stiffened and he suddenly looked to the side.

The night dissipated, and Chu Ming's figure emerged from inside.

Edel relaxed his brows and smiled sincerely, "You are back, otherwise I would have thought something was going to happen to you."

"Want to have a drink?"

Chu Ming pointed to the tavern not far away.

"Come!"

"But don't go to this one." Edel dismounted, leaned next to him and whispered: "The ale here is terrible. I know there is a good one."

Chu Ming glanced at him in surprise, "I didn't expect you to do research on this."

Edel smiled and said: "I have been out with the Cavaliers a lot, so naturally I know it."

The two of them talked and laughed and walked towards the city alley.

A group of knights stood there blankly, looking at each other, wondering whether they should follow.

…

After reminiscing with Edel, Chu Ming came to the Tower of Knowledge and found Allen leisurely basking in the sun on the observatory at the top of the tower.

"Narende?!"

Allen sat up from his chair with a look of surprise on his face.

Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why are you starting to support yourself in old age? I remember you always looked like you were working hard before."

Allen said helplessly: "Recognize the reality, I can't touch the edge of the legendary level."

"And today's young people are getting better and better. It's just right for me to retire."

He smiled and said: "It feels so good that no one is urging me to do things. I had already thought about it when I wanted to become a wizard in the Border Wizard Tower. I must accept the service of other slaves comfortably and don't have to worry about cultivation or anything."

"Yeah, this feels so good."

Chu Ming sighed.

There is a high probability that he will not go out again when he comes back this time. After all, these old friends of his are approaching the end of their lifespan one by one. If he goes out, he may leave eternal regrets.

But in fact, watching the people around you grow old one by one is not a kind of torture.

Chu Ming lay on the chair, admiring the white clouds and birds outside the tower with Allen. At this moment, it seemed that time had slowed down and the day had become longer.

…

Black Iron City in the South, Life Church.

In the attic, Isabel, whose appearance had not changed at all, took off the golden crown with a chuckle and put it on the head of a cute and delicate girl.

"Kuer, from now on you will be the saint of the Church of Life."

The little girl touched the golden crown on her head with bright eyes and smiled happily.

"Go and find the high priest. My sister still has something to do."

Isabel stroked her hair and said softly.

"Um!"

The girl said goodbye to Isabel and left the attic happily with the priest.

Isabel smiled and watched the girl leave. It was not until the door was closed that she turned back to look at Maple Flower hiding in the curtains.

"Come out quickly, Kerr has left."

Fenghua carefully stuck out her head and pouted, "Fenghua hates children."

"Maple Blossom likes Isabel, hee hee."

The little goblin that emitted a faint light flew to Isabel's shoulder with a smile, hugged her face and rubbed it.

The girl let out a laughter as clear as a silver bell, "Fenghua, don't make trouble, Mr. Wizard is coming back."

"That guy is coming back?!"

The little goblin's body stiffened suddenly, and then became soft again. She pouted and said, "Why did this guy take so long to come back? He is still... so missed."

"is that true?"

A voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"ah!"

Fenghua was startled and quickly hid in Isabel's sleeve, "You...why did you come so quickly."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "Because I know you are missing me."

"That's...no such thing."

Fenghua covered her face with her white sleeves, not daring to let Chu Ming see her blushing face from shyness.

Isabel stood up, her eyes dim, and she confided to Chu Ming: "Polly is gone."

Chu Ming was stunned, stroking her golden hair softly, "Can you take me to have a look?"

"Um."

Isabel took the initiative to hold his hand and led him to the cemetery in the backyard of the church. Through the stone monuments, they came to a small fluorescent flower.

Looking at the little flower, Chu Ming fell into silence, with sadness in his eyes.

Even though he knew that he could still meet Pearly in reality, this situation made him quite emotional.

Isabel squatted down and stared at Xiaohua for a long time. She smiled and said, "If Pearly knew you were back, she would be very happy."

"When we were in Moore Town, it wouldn't leave you no matter what. It must like you very much."

The memory was touched, and Chu Ming recalled the encounter with the girl in the alley.

At first, he only saw Isabel as trouble, but then unknowingly, the relationship between the two became better and better.

While he was still thinking, Isabel suddenly hugged him.

The girl said easily: "I am no longer the high priest. I will go wherever you go from now on, but don't abandon me."

Chu Ming smiled and said, "You are so cute, how could I abandon you?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to the King's Peninsula for a walk. There must be many things you haven't seen there."

"Um."

Isabel smiled expectantly.

Chu Ming tore through the night and left the church with Isabel and Fenghua.

…

Time is like running water, rushing forward in an instant and never returning.

One evening twenty-three years later, Allen lay on a chair with a faint smile on his face and left the world forever.

Even though he had predicted this ending, Chu Ming was still a little sad on the day he attended Allen's funeral.

A new generation replaced the old. After Allen left, his student Chloris stepped forward to take over the management of the Tower of Knowledge and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the training of wizards.

Croris was already over middle age, and with his combination of talent and diligence, he had already reached the limit of his epic. After he took over the Tower of Knowledge, everything quickly returned to normal operation.

More than ten years later, the elderly Edel also followed Allen and passed away.

On the day the monarch died, the whole country mourned, and without Edel as its backbone, the empire came to a standstill.

Finally, Edel's daughter Salena rushed back to the new capital and crowned the new king with the support of everyone, with the title of Lord Salena.

After that, Chu Ming’s familiar faces—Suraya, Claire, Fiya…passed away one after another.

Feiya had a premonition the day before her death. She called Chu Ming back and asked Chu Ming to take her back to Niho College and bury her body together with everyone in the Blood Riders.

Familiar friends passed away one by one, and new faces kept coming on stage. In the end, only Isabel and Chu Ming were left to support each other and move on.

Although the Stigma of Life gives the girl strong vitality and prevents her from aging, it cannot prevent her lifespan from reaching its limit. One day, Isabel will also face the same ending.
