Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Chu Ming looked surprised, "We are leaving Feweather tomorrow, and then Simon Kingdom. Even so, do you want to go with us?"

Chu Ming welcomed Nathan's idea of ​​joining the mercenary group. After all, with the Dark Blue Knight in charge, the strength of the mercenary group could be improved a lot.

But he didn't want Nathan to want to follow him just because of his enthusiasm, lest he regret it later on.

Nathan heard the concerns in Chu Ming's tone, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir. I have had the idea of ​​leaving Feweather a long time ago. I have already made up my mind to wait until I pass the first trial. Then I will leave Simon’s Kingdom and go to the Land of Midgard to see the world.”

"Although I haven't passed the first trial yet, I have changed my mind. I want to follow your footsteps and go to the land of the atrium together."

Chu Ming was stunned, smiled and shook hands with the man, "Nathan, you are welcome to join."

…

Night, in hotel room.

Dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door. Chu Ming, who was about to sit down on the chair, asked, "Who?"

"Mr. Lane, it's me."

A female voice came from outside.

"Amy, come in."

The door opened, and the girl at the front desk of the mercenary guild came in holding a wooden basin. Behind her, Irina quietly poked her head out and said with a smile: "Master, I'm here too."

After Amy walked into the room, she picked up the dirty smelly clothes Chu Ming threw on the floor and put them into the tub. Then she would wash and dry the clothes during the night.

"Trouble."

Chu Ming thanked the girl and watched her and Irina leave the room.

He has been busy training these days, so he left Irina in the care of Amy. Now it seems that the two of them are getting along very well.

Chu Ming sat back on the chair and suddenly remembered that Amy had said that her mother had contracted the disease while fleeing. Although Miguel had taken the old man to the church to seek treatment from a priest, the treatment did not seem to be very effective. Well, the pain has subsided, but the root cause is still there.

He looked at the lines on his palm and thought about it, "The third-level spell Savage Growth is very effective in treating wounds and other surface injuries, but has almost no effect on difficult and complicated diseases."

"But if it is a healing spell that I have received the blessing of 'Life', it might have some effect. Let's try it tomorrow."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming returned his attention to his own body.

After he passed the first trial, the gift from the gods suddenly appeared in his spiritual sea. Only now did Chu Ming have time to explore an extra bloody light group in his spiritual sea.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, his spirit slowly peering towards the bloody light group.

Wow! !

The blood-colored light group suddenly bloomed with thousands of rays of light, penetrating into Chu Ming's spiritual sea.

Immediately afterwards, he felt that a restriction that restrained the blood in his body suddenly collapsed. The blood in his body surged like thunder, the sound of his heart beating came out from his body, and the speed of his blood circulation increased several times in an instant.

After a long time, Chu Ming slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of thick air.

"I didn't expect that God's gift would be so rich. It actually allowed my knight talent to break through from low to medium, reaching a point where I can advance to the epic level without any hindrance."

"Now I only need the inheritance of the epic knight to break through to the epic level."

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming turned his attention back to the trial. After he completed the first trial, the content of the second trial had also appeared.

"Second Trial: Defeat Epic."

Chu Ming frowned slightly, "Is the second trial alone already so difficult? No wonder Nathan said that there was only one knight in the entire Simon Kingdom who reached the third trial and challenged the epic with the power of dark blue. For ordinary knights, , is almost impossible.”

For him, this second trial was not difficult. What was difficult was how he found the epic knight in this strange kingdom and persuaded the knight to duel with him.

"There's no need to count on Nathan, it seems he has to go back to Clinton Kingdom to make plans."

Nathan was originally from a village near Fairweather, and he reached the deep blue level step by step through his own efforts. He had no access to the epic knights at all, so it was unrealistic for him to help invite the epic knights to fight.

Chu Ming's superficial strength is also at the deep blue level, and he cannot get the attention of the epic knight, let alone an invitation.

"But according to the current speed of the carriage team, there are still about four months to go to the Clinton Kingdom, which is fast..."

Unable to continue his own trial, Chu Ming turned his attention to the mercenary group.

According to Nathan, the conditions for participating in the God of War trial are very simple. Only extraordinary professions are limited to knights, and there are no other requirements.

There were no other extraordinary people in Chu Ming's army, only the knights grabbed a lot of them.

Except for him, Miguel, and Nathan, who newly joined the corps, the number of knights in the entire mercenary group reached forty-six, of which twelve knights were at the dark green level, and the rest were all green.

Although these knights are a bit less savvy, they are fortunate enough to be diligent enough. Under Chu Ming's guidance, their strength is steadily increasing every day.

But he is not satisfied with this. Compared with understanding, what these knights really lack is knight talent. Most of their knight talents are inferior. It is normal for the knight level to be stuck in dark green. If nothing else, these knights This is how it will be in life. Maybe in the future, some of them will suddenly have a sudden inspiration or have an adventure and break through to the blue level or the dark blue level. But the probability is too small. Only one among a hundred knights will break through. The ultimate knight.

If these knights can be allowed to participate in the God of War trial, Chu Ming is sure to help them pass the first trial through teaching, obtain gifts from the gods, and improve their own talents.

As long as they upgrade their talents from inferior to inferior and cooperate with Chu Ming's guidance, the strength of the entire mercenary group will usher in a qualitative leap.

"Judging from the current situation, the God of War Trial is of no harm to the knights. It does seem to be the style of the God of War. Perhaps it is just a coincidence that the God of War Trial and the appearance of the sacred tree skeleton of Pashi are close to each other. Or maybe it is the Holy Spirit. What conditions were triggered by the tree incident that led to the return of the trials left behind by God of War.”

"But no matter what, the God of War trial is good for humans and the creatures on the mainland. It seems that the power of knights on the mainland will usher in a leap during this period."

…

Early the next morning, after Nathan, carrying large and small bags, found the hotel, the carriage team set off and continued its journey south.

In the carriage, Chu Ming was surrounded by Amy and Irina. Green light bloomed in his hand, wrapping the woman in front of him in holy light.

Under Amy's nervous gaze, the green light slowly penetrated into the woman's body, and traces of black threads floated out of her body. The woman's painful expression softened a lot.

After a while, Chu Ming let go of the woman's hand, and the green light slowly faded away.

Amy hurried forward and supported the woman, "Mom, how are you feeling?"

The woman was in a trance. After she felt that the burning pain in her body had disappeared, she smiled and said, "It seems to be better."

After hearing this, the girl shed tears of joy. She stood up and bowed deeply to Chu Ming to thank him.

Chu Ming waved his hand, "What troubles Ms. Halima is not any incurable disease, it's just some dark aura that invades her body."

"Although the dark aura has been expelled by me, some old problems in her body are still there, and her body still needs rest and maintenance."

"Thank you, I will let mom have a good rest."

"Well, tell me if anything happens."

After Chu Ming finished speaking, he left Irina in the carriage. He stepped out of the carriage and called to stop the carriage team that was still on its way.

It was already noon, and the scorching sun was high above everyone's heads, making people sweat all over their bodies and their mouths were dry.

After Chu Ming stopped the carriage team, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and parked the carriage under the shade of a tree.

Chu Ming said to Miguel at the front of the team: "Gather all the knights and follow me."

After saying that, he walked into the woods and found a shady clearing.

After a while, Miguel and Nathan came to Chu Ming with dozens of knights. Their eyes were anxious and somewhat expectant, waiting for Chu Ming to speak.

"sit down."

Chu Ming's faint words sounded, and the knights faced each other and sat down on the ground.

"Nathan, come up front and tell them what the God of War Trial is."

The fox knight looked confused. Although he didn't know what Chu Ming wanted to do, he still sat next to Chu Ming and told the knights what the God of War trial was.

After the knights heard that they could obtain mythical power through the God of War trial, they had no reaction, but became more confused.

The so-called God of War Trial sounds very powerful, but what does it have to do with these little knights?

Even Miguel was a little confused, but he didn't show his emotions on his face.

After Nathan finished speaking, Chu Ming glanced at the knights of the regiment who had no reaction, and slowly said: "There are six trials in the God of War trial. Each time you pass one trial, you can get a gift from the god. What are my expectations for you? It’s the first trial that everyone has to pass.”

"What?!"

There were bursts of exclamations from the knights, and they all had troubled looks on their faces.

The strength of these knights is mediocre to begin with, and it is still too difficult for them to pass the first trial. None of these knights are sure to surpass the challenge.

Miguel couldn't help but whispered at this time: "Mr. Renn, these brothers of mine are usually diligent in training, but their strength improvement is limited. You see these in your eyes and let them pass the first trial." It won’t be too difficult.”

Nathan on the side couldn't help but nodded and said: "Brother Miguel is right. I'm not exaggerating. People like me don't have much confidence in passing the first trial. Let them challenge the first trial." It’s still too difficult.”

Chu Ming listened to everyone's opinions and nodded, "I understand your concerns and understand your feelings."

"But I want to ask, when you were young, who among you didn't have the dream of becoming an epic knight or even a legendary knight?"

When the knights heard this, they lowered their heads in silence. One knight raised his hand and sighed:

"Sir Ren, I used to be young, energetic and ignorant. I once aimed to become a powerful knight. However, after I left my hometown with the expectations of the whole village and encountered obstacles everywhere, I realized how talented I was as a knight. Oops, my dream is so ridiculous, I have now accepted reality and my mediocre self."

"I really can't pass the first trial."

Chu Ming's expression remained unchanged and he looked at the other knights, "What about you?"

The knights looked at each other, sighed and shook their heads, the meaning was self-evident.

Chu Ming looked at the dejected knights and suddenly laughed, "I can understand if you don't believe in yourself."

"However, please believe me and give yourself a chance to realize your ideals."

With that said, Chu Ming stood up and looked at the fox knight, "Nason is watching, please tell them how strong this power is."

"ah?"

Nathan had doubts on his face, and before he could react, Chu Ming turned around and took a few steps closer to the woods in front of the knight.

Chu Ming asked without looking back: "Can someone tell me what is in front of me?"

The knights were silent for a moment, and then whispered, discussing Chu Ming's question. After a while, one after another knights raised their hands to answer Chu Ming's question. Some said that what was in front of him was a forest, and some said that it was trees. , it’s a weed...

Chu Ming listened quietly to everyone's answers and replied indifferently: "Wrong, all wrong, there is nothing in front of me."

After saying that, he held his hands in vain, and strands of electric light shot out from his body.

Chu Ming shouted low, and suddenly the color of the world changed. The light red field expanded from his body, covering all the knights and the woods in front of him in a bloody world.

Under the horrified gazes of the knights, the purple magic patterns on Chu Ming's body bloomed with a deep and mysterious light. The aura of destruction gathered from his hands. Dark clouds and thunder lingered around his body. Thick electric arcs violently expanded, forming a thunder field.

In the domain, thunder raged, and Chu Ming's surroundings turned into scorched earth.

Rumble... In the eyes of everyone, the roaring and dancing thunder gradually condensed into Chu Ming's hands and turned into a thunder sword.

Nathan's eyes were horrified and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. He said in disbelief: "This... this is not dark blue at all!"

"No, this is dark blue."

Chu Ming replied lightly to Nathan. The magic patterns on his body became more and more scorching. Suddenly sparks shone, and golden red flames rose from his body, dyeing the Thunder Sword with a touch of golden red.

Nathan's mouth opened wide, unable to speak.

In his perception, Chu Ming's terrifying aura of destruction rose again, which made him feel scared.

Chu Ming stood in front of everyone. When he moved slightly, his body muscles expanded instantly.

"Watch it!"

Chu Ming's eyes suddenly widened, and he swung the sword in his hand!

In an instant, in front of everyone's eyes, the entire forest suddenly stopped. The breeze disappeared, the leaves stopped fluttering, the chirping of birds also disappeared from everyone's ears, and the whole world became terrifyingly silent.

Suddenly, the lightning flashed, and the next second, everyone broke away from the suffocating world of death and witnessed the furious thunder falling towards the woods.

boom! ! !

Thunder snakes dance wildly and trees explode.

In the path of the thunder giant sword that was almost condensed to the point of falling, the trees and grass were completely torn apart by a destructive force and turned into ash. The powerful force fell into the ground, and a straight hole formed in front of Chu Ming. Spread everywhere.

The roar of thunder continued, and the dazzling thunder light blocked the knights' vision, but they were shocked by the destructive power in front of them, and they could not move their eyes away even if their eyes felt stinging.

Purple thunder light flashed in the eyes of each knight. They looked at Chu Ming's back standing in front of the thunder. They felt that the longing that they had abandoned long ago surged up again in their hearts, and their ordinary hearts were stirred up in circles.

Half a minute later, the lightning gradually dissipated, the whole world returned to its normal color from purple, and Chu Ming's figure was also revealed from the lightning.

In front of Chu Ming, the original trees, bushes, and weeds all disappeared. As long as char was left on the ground, everyone's vision suddenly broadened.

Chu Ming turned around and asked calmly: "I'll ask again, what's in front of me?"

The knights opened their mouths, and one of them whispered: "Nothing."

The knight's voice resonated with everyone, and other knights whispered: "Nothing."

Chu Ming said calmly: "Louder, have you not eaten?"

When the knights heard this, they all raised their heads and shouted loudly: "Return to Sir Ren, there is nothing!"

"very good."

Chu Ming shifted his gaze and looked at the fox knight, "Nathan, tell them what level the power was just now."

The man swallowed, as if to soothe his dry throat, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's epic."

Chu Ming nodded, "Tell them again what level I am."

Nathan lowered his head and whispered: "Dark Blue."

Chu Ming glanced at the knights, "Do you understand? This is the power I have, leader, and this is the power I can give you."

"As for the first trial, I don't need your questions. I just need you to trust me unconditionally and give yourself a chance."

"Yes, Captain Ren!"

The knights shouted in unison, their eyes becoming a little firmer.

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Perhaps you still can't believe it now, but one day, you will reach the level of epic, even legend, and become a knighthood famous throughout the continent."

"But the premise of all this is to trust me, trust yourself, and pass the first trial."

"One step at a time, follow my footsteps and keep moving forward."

After finishing what he had to say, Chu Ming sat down on the ground and took out the notes he had prepared from his knight uniform.

He held up the note and said: "The epic knight's secret method excerpted in this notebook is called the Burning Sun Secret Method, and it comes from the distant northern empire."

"No matter what secret method you practiced before, forget it now. From today on, you are all Knights of the Blazing Sun. I hope you will not live up to the name of the Blazing Sun."

After speaking, Chu Ming handed the secret method to Miguel.

The man took the note with trembling hands, his face full of excitement.

Chu Ming continued: "If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask me. I will let you all pass the first trial before arriving at Clinton Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, unlike before, no knights objected. Everyone clenched their fists, and there was a bit of expectation in their eyes.
