Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

After communicating with the knights, Chu Ming left the woods and let them figure it out on their own.

After Nathan saw Chu Ming leaving, he quickly got up and followed in Chu Ming's footsteps.

"Ren."

Nathan waved his hand from behind and called Chu Ming to stop.

The man's long fox ears twitched slightly, and he asked curiously: "Can practicing the secret method really allow people to pass the first trial?"

Chu Ming looked back at Nathan, spread his hands and said, "Whether you can pass the first trial or not depends on yourself. The secret method is just a foreign object."

"The Fierce Sun Secret Technique focuses on will. The upper limit is extremely high, and the lower limit is also ridiculously low. If you don't have a firm belief, this secret technique will only drag you down."

When Nathan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he automatically ignored the lower limit of the Lieyang Secret Technique, "The upper limit is extremely high, how high can it be?"

Chu Ming showed a half-smiling expression, "Let me tell you this, I once saw a blue knight use the Fiery Sun Secret Technique to exert his strength that can touch the epic. The Dark Blue Knight practiced the Fierce Sun Secret Technique and reached the level of It’s not impossible with my strength.”

Nathan asked curiously: "Have you also practiced the Fierce Sun Secret Technique?"

"It's not necessary for me."

Chu Ming shook his head.

"The Secret Technique of the Fierce Sun in my hand only reaches the epic one-star level, and nothing beyond that."

"What I just gave the knights to practice is the secret method below the dark blue part. I'm not in a hurry about the epic part. These guys are still too weak at the moment."

Nathan paused inwardly, gritted his teeth and said, "See if I can also practice the Fierce Sun Secret Technique. I need the complete Secret Technique including the epic part."

A somewhat surprised look appeared on Chu Ming's face, "Why did you come here to learn a secret method that is only a one-star part of an epic poem without learning your own secret method?"

The fox knight shrank in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "Ren, you think too highly of me. The secret method I practiced before was the knight training secret method released by the city hall. How can I get access to the epic secret method?"

"Besides, I'll be satisfied if I can advance to the epic level. The next level has nothing to do with me."

Chu Ming suddenly realized it and smiled softly.

After spending so much time with the epic knights in the Violet King City, he almost thought that the inheritance of epic knights was very common.

He then remembered that although Nathan's qualifications were quite good, he was born in a rural area and without the support of a big force, it was still very difficult for him to get in touch with the epic knight heritage.

Chu Ming put his hands behind his back and said: "You have joined the mercenary group anyway, I won't hide it anymore."

"It's just that I haven't copied down the secret method of this epic part. When the carriage starts, you can come to me and I will teach you personally."

Nathan's eyes were full of surprise, and he put his arm around Chu Ming's shoulders excitedly, "My good leader, I'm counting on you."

Chu Ming took a step back calmly, "My requirements for you are the same as theirs, which is to pass the first trial before arriving at Clinton Kingdom."

The fox knight patted his furry chest and said confidently: "Of course, the first trial is just a little difficult for me."

Chu Ming glanced at him. He didn't know who looked downcast after failing yesterday's challenge. Only one day later, he regained his confidence.

However, it is a good thing to have confidence. The Lieyang Secret Technique itself is a secret technique that focuses on thoughts and will. It is not good if it is too decadent.

Nathan's performance saved him a lot of effort.

Compared with Nathan, the knights in the Corps have much weaker beliefs. They are mediocre people themselves. They have spent half their lives in a haze. It is not easy for them to have an exciting and uplifting mentality like young people. If you want to change their minds and build up their confidence, , still have to do it step by step.

Chu Ming had just established a strong image in front of the knights of the corps, and also expressed his absolute confidence that he could let them pass the first trial.

Even if these guys have no confidence in themselves, they will still believe what he says.

It can be said that Chu Ming is now the spiritual pillar for the knights of the Corps to increase their strength. Although they don't know where they will go in the future, since Chu Ming leads them forward, they only need to follow Chu Ming's footsteps.

As long as the pillar of Chu Ming is still there, the faith of the Knights of the Legion will not collapse, and they will even regain their confidence as they advance on the knight's path, and reappear the glory of the Secret Art of the Fierce Sun in the land of southern Xinjiang.

…

After the carriage team rested for a while, they continued to drive south.

The difference from before was that Chu Ming would take time at noon every day to answer the questions of the knights about practicing the secret method of the blazing sun, and secretly feed these guys some chicken soup.

Half a month later, the carriage team left Simon's Kingdom and entered the Atrium. What greeted them was a human kingdom called Yap. The wind prevailed, and many dwarf craftsmen gathered.

As a kingdom close to the Violet Principality, the Yapu Kingdom has a very popular mage profession. Under the joint research of craftsmen and mages, the magical magic pattern armor technology was born here.

After the knight wears the magic pattern armor, it is like having the magic pattern circuit of the magic knight, which can release a variety of spells to assist in combat, greatly enhancing the knight's strength, allowing dark green level knights to easily defeat the dark blue knight.

However, although the magic pattern armor technology is good, it also has many shortcomings. For example, the technology is not mature enough, it is expensive, it is easy to damage, and the upper limit is not high...

In any case, the emergence of magic pattern armor is a good thing after all, and can help humans better fight against darkness.

In fact, Chu Ming is still very attracted to the so-called magic pattern armor. Otherwise, the appearance of the magic pattern armor is several blocks away from those traditional armors. The combination of the armor and the flashing purple magic patterns is full of futuristic feeling.

After entering the city of Puya Kingdom, Chu Ming went to specifically ask the magic pattern armor craftsmen. When he learned about the ridiculous price of the magic pattern armor, Chu Ming's fiery heart was temporarily extinguished.

Fortunately, Cronuo saw Chu Ming's heartbeat. The man said that although the magic pattern armor technology of Reran Kingdom was not strong, it could still be made. He threatened to give Chu Ming a magic pattern armor in the future. Patterned armor.

In the city of Petrit, Chu Ming and his carriage team found a hotel to stay temporarily.

With the help of Chu Ming, the Knights of the Legion made rapid progress. In just over half a month, they had initially mastered the secret method of Lieyang and could use the secret method in actual combat.

The carriage team stayed in Petrit for two days. During these two days, the knights of the regiment tried to invite the knights in the city for a trial.

But no one else could pass the trial, and they were all defeated miserably at the hands of their opponents.

Chu Ming was not surprised by this. The Knights of the Legion had only initially mastered the secret method of Lieyang. The level of the knights was so low that they could not even use Ji Yi.

Just like the knights who practice arcane techniques, the Knights of the Burning Sun are also unable to activate their ultimate intention before reaching the level of the dark green Great Knight.

However, the Fierce Sun Secret Technique itself is a magical secret technique born from spiritual power. Even if there is no ultimate intention, the knight can improve his own strength by strengthening his spiritual power and strengthening his will.

Chu Ming's purpose of letting the knights of the Corps undergo trials in advance was just to let them get used to the secret method of Lieyang and change their past fighting methods. He did not have any expectation that they would pass the trials.

After the knights failed the trial, under the guidance of Chu Ming, they gradually discovered their own problems. Only then did they realize that the knight habits they had been used to before were so wrong.

Although the knights suffered repeated defeats in the battle, in just two days, their progress was so rapid that they even surprised themselves.

This allowed everyone to recover a lot of their confidence after failing the trial, and they started practicing even harder.

Seeing that the knights of the Corps had gradually digested the results of practicing the Secret Art of the Fierce Sun, and there was no need to stay in the city any longer, Chu Ming commanded the carriage team to continue southward.

Another month has passed. During this period, the strength of the knights has increased rapidly, and four knights have even broken through to the dark green level.

Seeing a knight's breakthrough, other knights also cheered up. The increase in strength gave them a little more confidence, and they looked forward to the next challenge and trial.

It's just that the carriage team rarely stopped in the city for a whole month. Even if it was to purchase supplies, Chu Ming only let the carriage team stay for half a day, without giving the knights a chance to practice, and hurried on on their way.

Finally, when he was about to leave the Yap Kingdom, the knight couldn't bear it anymore and asked Miguel to come to him.

Beside the campfire, Chu Ming grilled the wild fish that the knight caught by the river and handed it to Irina.

The little maid swallowed secretly, shook her head and said, "Master, you eat first."

Chu Ming forced the grilled fish skewers into the girl's hand, and intentionally or unintentionally showed off the fish that had not yet been grilled in his other hand.

"Young Master wants to eat a big fish. This one is too small. I'll give it to you."

Irina held the small wooden stick for grilling fish and looked at the fish in Chu Ming's hand. When she saw that the fish was indeed bigger than the one in her hand, she felt relieved, thanked her happily, and hugged the grilled fish. Start chewing.

Seeing Irina eating so deliciously, Chu Ming had a faint smile on his lips. Then he turned his attention to the bonfire and flipped the fish.

At this time, Miguel came over. The man had a bit of anxiety on his face and sat next to Chu Ming.

Before he could think of how to speak, Chu Ming smiled and asked, "Miguel, you must have something to ask me for."

Miguel paused in his heart, and he hesitated and said: "The brothers in the Corps feel that their strength has improved a lot, and they want to challenge the God of War trial again... However, the carriage team has not stopped for a month, and they can't find them. Opportunity comes.”

The smile on Chu Ming's face remained unchanged, "It's really time for the carriage team to stop. Let's stop at the next city on the route, just to test their cultivation results."

Seeing that Chu Ming agreed so readily, Miguel couldn't help but wonder if Chu Ming had expected him to come.

But since Chu Ming agreed, he didn't think too much. After chatting with Chu Ming for a few more words, he walked to the bonfire where the knights gathered to tell the others the good news.

Crono, who was sitting opposite Chu Ming, gnawed on the baked semolina pancakes and said cheerfully: "I didn't expect you to be good at training knights. I don't know what your family thought, but they actually released you. But if If you don’t come to the Violet Principality, you probably won’t be able to discover your talent as a mage in this life. This is really a wonderful fate.”

The grilled fish was sizzling on the campfire rack. After Chu Ming turned it over, he shook his head and said: "If he were a normal knight, he would have made a breakthrough long ago under my guidance."

"The knights of the mercenary group are indeed diligent enough, but the knights' talents are still lacking after all."

"But I believe this situation will change soon. After heading to the next city, I estimate that some of the knights in the regiment will pass the first trial."

Crono was stunned for a moment, "You had expected this?"

Chu Ming smiled and said: "The reason why I won't let the carriage team stay in the city this month is to wait for them to come to me."

"If a knight comes to me, it means that he has the confidence to challenge the first trial."

Crono touched his chin, "Speaking of which, the next city should be the Kingdom of Reran. The dwarf knights there are not easy to deal with. Compared with humans, the dwarf knights will suffer a lot in terms of height, but Their physical strength is generally stronger than that of human knights of the same level, so it is still very troublesome to deal with them."

Chu Ming spread his hands and said: "It doesn't matter. It will take about two months for the carriage team to arrive at the Clinton Kingdom. There is still plenty of time. I am afraid that the opponent is not strong enough. The stronger the gatekeeper is, the more the knight will get after passing." The gifts from the gods will be more abundant.”

"I believe that after all the knights of the Knights pass the first trial, their strength will make a qualitative leap."

Crono said with some envy: "Damn it, when will there be a mage trial?"

Chu Ming glanced at him and said, "Don't you have magic marks? You are almost half a knight. You can also participate in the God of War trial."

Crono quickly waved his hand, "I'm only half-assed. I can't beat the ordinary Dark Blue Knight, so let's forget it."

Chu Ming flipped the grilled fish and shook his head, "I don't know if the magic pattern armor is part of the knight's power. You can try it after you go back, just in case you pass it."

"That's right, hehe..."

…

Eight days later, the carriage team crossed the border of Puya Kingdom and entered the Kingdom of Reran. Compared with other kingdoms and cities, the cities of the Dwarf Kingdom are unique. They like to hang flags with gold patterns and red backgrounds on the city walls and streets. Even the buildings and streets in the city are smaller than normal human cities. After the carriage team entered the city, it was like entering a town in a fairy tale.

There were not many humans coming and going in the dwarf city, and caravans rarely passed by. Chu Ming and his group were walking on the street in a crowd, and their tall figures attracted the attention of pedestrians on the road.

Fortunately, there was a local named Crono in the team, so they checked into the hotel smoothly without any trouble.

After getting everything ready, Chu Ming led the knights of the Corps out of the hotel.

His eyes moved and rested on Aiqi.

"Crono and I are going to take the Legion Knights to the training ground. I'll leave it to you. If anything happens, come to us immediately."

Aiqi solemnly performed the knight's salute, "Don't worry, Lord Ren, I will leave this place to you."

"Well, Amy, help me keep an eye on Irina."

Chu Ming waved to the girl on the side and led the army towards the training ground.

…

"Hey, is that the human knights?"

"It looks so strange."

"They look so fierce."

Chu Ming led dozens of knights through the streets. The skin on both sides was slightly wrinkled, and the dwarves who looked like old children discussed in a low voice.

This dwarf city is not prosperous, and few human caravans stop here. The dwarf citizens suddenly saw such a large formation of human knights, and couldn't help but become curious.

Chu Ming's ears twitched slightly, and the strange language of the surrounding dwarf citizens came into his mind.

He asked Crono, "What language do they speak?"

"The local Blackzat dwarf language."

Crono shrugged.

"Actually, they know more or less common language, they just don't like to speak it."

"Sir, you seem to know us very well."

In front of everyone, a team of dwarf knights wearing heavy armor and carrying giant hammers came over.

The leader of the burly dwarf looked at the document handed to him by the city gate guard. He asked cautiously: "You are a mercenary group from the Violet Principality? Why are you running around in the city?"

Crono gave Chu Ming a look. He stepped forward and gave a noble salute to the dwarf, "My Lord, Crono Harlowen, can your Excellency the Knight tell me your honorary name?"

The dwarf knight faced Crono, and a sense of familiarity emerged in his heart. His expression softened and he said: "Jim Thunderhammer."

"You should be a human noble from a southern city. Why are you with this mercenary group?"

Crono smiled and explained: "I just returned from studying in the Violet Principality, and this mercenary group behind me happened to be on my way."

Jim hummed.

"Don't wander around the city if you have nothing to do. The residents here rarely see humans. Don't scare them."

The dwarf knight turned around and was about to leave, when Crono suddenly had a thought and asked Jim: "Sir Jim, the knights behind me are all qualified to participate in the God of War trial, and they are looking for opponents for the trial. , I wonder if you have any candidates.”

"Oh?" The dwarf knight turned back and became interested instantly, "I didn't expect that the God of War trial has spread to the Violet Principality. Even the knights from the Violet Principality know about it?"

"If you are looking for a trial opponent, you have asked the right person. Come with me. Many soldiers in the military camp are struggling to find an opponent."

After Jim finished speaking, the knights in front of him made a way for him. He walked in front, leading the city knights and mercenary group towards the military camp.

Behind Chu Ming, the knights became a lot more anxious when they heard that they were about to face the dwarf warriors.

Not to mention dueling with dwarf knights, they rarely saw dwarves when they were in the Violet Principality. Facing such an unknown enemy, everyone was still a little nervous.

As if sensing the changes in the knights' moods, Chu Ming turned his face sideways and said, "I'm here, what are you afraid of?"

My head was feeling dizzy today, and it took me a long time to finish writing five thousand words.
