Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

"It's really good."

The knights nodded in approval.

Burning combines fire and thunder, is full of aggression, is more crazy, and is tit-for-tat with darkness, which really suits them.

The most important thing is that they can't think of a more suitable name.

Chu Ming slowly stood up from the chair, "Then it's settled. The Justice Mercenary Corps will be renamed the Burning Knights, and will be announced to all the knights on the day the mercenary guild's headquarters opens. Do you have any additional comments? "

The knights shook their heads, with a look of expectation in their eyes.

They knew that after the guild station was built and the Justice Mercenary Corps was renamed into the Burning Knights, the Knights would usher in a new beginning and they would embark on a completely different path than they had imagined before.

Perhaps this road is full of thorns and challenges, but since they have the opportunity to choose, they will hold on and never let go.

What a grand vision it is to become a knightly order famous throughout the continent. At this moment, the knights only have desire in their hearts and only one chance. They will continue to move forward without fear of hardships.

After deciding on the name of the knights, the short meeting ended, and Miguel and Nathan hurriedly took the knights to Vasco Street to help.

With knights carrying logs and chopping wooden pillars, the craftsmen's work efficiency will be greatly improved. Chu Ming estimates that the renovation of the hiring guild's residence can be completed quickly in just a few days.

After temporarily settling the matter with the Knights, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief and took Irina out of the hotel.

Irina glanced at Chu Ming quietly. She was very dissatisfied with Chu Ming's rude behavior of ignoring her just now, and whispered in her mouth: "Obviously the Dark Big Mac sounds good too."

Chu Ming paused, and then continued walking towards Brick Castle as if nothing was wrong.

Although Chu Ming didn't show any expression on his face, he had already made up his mind to let Irina read more books.

The distance from Karen Hotel to Brick Castle was not far, just a few streets apart. The two of them walked for ten minutes to get there.

In fact, when Chu Ming first went out, Valerie proposed to let a servant drive him in a carriage.

However, Chu Ming thought about it and refused. Firstly, the locations of Tulip Street and Karen Hotel were close to Brick Castle. Even if he traveled back and forth between the three, it wouldn’t take much time. Secondly, he wanted to have a good time. Get to know the city and see how it has changed over the years.

Walking on the street, Chu Ming looked around for a while.

The City of Sauron is indeed the city where the knight family Brick is located. The style of chivalry here is more popular than a few years ago. Many of the people walking on the streets are knights from other places. The bright armors are on the streets. There was a noise on the street, and Chu Ming walked on the street as if he had mistakenly entered a city where adventurers gathered.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming walked through the city's central square and walked around the colorful gardens. He looked up and saw the towering castle on the mountain behind the spacious black iron gate of the castle.

Chu Ming took a deep breath and led Irina to the gate of the castle.

"Everyone else please leave this place."

The two guards standing at the gate of the castle glanced at Chu Ming and did not recognize his identity. They just regarded him as some knights who came here to enter Brick Castle.

Chu Ming smiled faintly and said, "This is Ren Brick."

The expressions of the two guards froze when they heard this. Although they had seen many knights pretending to be members of the Brick family and trying to sneak in, there would also be a Brick knight who they didn't know suddenly appeared in the Brick family. Under the circumstances, these knights are often on missions and have not returned to the castle for several years. This is normal.

Their last guard had despised a Brick knight who had returned from overseas, which resulted in him losing his guard career. They did not dare to risk their jobs on this possibility.

The two knights looked at each other, and one of them apologized and ran into the castle, seemingly to check out the list of Brick people.

After a while, the guard came back, along with a middle-aged man wearing glasses who looked very polite.

The middle-aged man looked hurriedly. When he saw Chu Ming standing by the door, he suddenly froze on the spot and his eyes became trance-like.

"Ren, is it really you?"

Chu Ming's eyes stayed on the man, and memories surged up in his mind.

The man's name was Hines Brick, and he was the secret teacher of the family's knight class when Ren was young.

Hines stared straight at Chu Ming, with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

In fact, like Renn, Hines's knight talent is only inferior. He has been stuck at the level of a great knight for more than 40 years, but he has never been able to break through. In the end, he chose to give up and continue to deepen. After studying the secrets and mysteries, he spent several years getting a respectable position in the clan teaching young clan members.

According to Hines's original idea, he would spend his whole life in the castle insipidly, until his passion for knighthood was completely gone.

But more than ten years ago, he met a student named Ren Brick. Like him, this kid had inferior knight talents, but he was full of enthusiasm and motivation for the knight's way, and he had been working hard for it. Practice on earth.

When Hines first met Renn, he was in a trance, as if he saw his own shadow in Renn. The man was infected by Renn's enthusiasm for the way of chivalry, and his heart that was about to become cold returned. It's getting hotter.

So he made a decision that he regretted for more than ten years - he decided to let this boy, who was only about eight years old, carry his will and continue moving forward, fulfilling his wish to break through the limitations of the Great Knight on his behalf.

At the beginning, the young man did live up to his expectations. Although the knight's talent was only inferior, his speed of training was not inferior to that of the geniuses in the big class.

It's just that this situation didn't last long. A few years later, Renne was promoted to the Grand Knight, but his training speed slowed down.

After that, the other young knights in the big class quickly overtook Renn, and some geniuses even broke through to the blue level.

At this point, Renn's inner belief had actually collapsed, and he had the idea of ​​giving up. After all, he was only a ten-year-old child, and he had to face such a cruel reality.

But at that time, Hines was completely confused. He couldn't accept the thought of Renne facing the same failure ending as himself, so he kept encouraging Renne and told him not to give up easily.

Just as he expected, the boy persisted in despair for three years. Finally, due to psychological problems, he and Nuria moved out of the castle.

Faced with such an ending, the crazy Hines finally realized that even he himself could not do something, he actually wanted to place his hope on a young man, and he wanted to impose his will on the young man and give him Applying such heavy pressure.

He began to repent of his original decision and the inheritance of will. In fact, he only used Ren as a tool to prove himself. It was really ridiculous.

Later, Hines went to Tulip Street whenever he had time to visit Ren and pray for his forgiveness, but was ruthlessly blocked by Nuria.

He still remembers the cold words the woman said to him at that time:

"Begging for forgiveness is nothing more than a hypocrite's attempt to comfort himself. Your appearance will only make Ren more painful. If you are truly enlightened, please come back with more power."

Since that day, Hines has never been to Tulip Street again. Nuria's words finally awakened him. He once again picked up the way of chivalry that he had given up for a long time. He wanted to prove it to Ren with himself. , inferior talents are not without success.

In order to devote all his energy to cultivation, Heins ignored his family's objections, gave up his stable job, and went into the mountains to seek training.

I don't know if it was because his determination was too strong. After regaining the way of a knight, it only took him two years to break through to the blue level and break the restrictions placed on him by the knight's talent.

After achieving this goal, Hines was ecstatic. He had just returned to the City of Sauron and couldn't wait to walk to Tulip Street, wanting to tell Renn the good news.

Unfortunately, when he came to Tulip Street again, he only got the news of Renne's travel abroad.

When what he worked so hard to prove lost its meaning, Hines was completely confused. The guilt and pain in his heart did not fade away, but intensified.

After that, he lived in confusion and depression for several years before gradually recovering.

Although Hines has now broken through to the blue level, he has also lost his desire to fight and settled down to work as a librarian in the castle library.

Today, as usual, he was walking back and forth from the library to his home. When he heard the guard say that there was a knight named Renn outside the door who wanted to enter the castle, he was instantly startled. Without thinking anything, he ran straight to The black iron door of the castle.

From the moment he met Chu Ming, memories flooded into Hines's mind crazily, and those annoyance and painful emotions flooded into his heart again.

The man opened his mouth and said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

Chu Ming looked at the man with a complicated expression, "Teacher Heins, long time no see."

"Congratulations on breaking your limit."

After Heins heard Chu Ming's words, his eyes flinched. He no longer wanted to prove himself. Right or wrong is not important now. What is important is that he really hurt Ren.

Chu Ming looked at the man's appearance and sighed slightly.

In fact, it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter. Even without Hines, Renne will insist on walking on the path of knights, and one day give up the path of knights decades later and become another sea knight. Ince.

Moreover, Hines has tortured himself crazily for many years over this matter. The mature and steady person he used to be has disappeared, and he has become a coward who is timid in doing things.

Although Chu Ming did not forgive him, he no longer had a sincere heart.

He patted Hines and said, "Teacher, let's talk as we walk."

Chu Ming took Irina into the castle. Hines stood there for a while and followed Chu Ming's footsteps.

Chu Ming walked slowly, waiting for the man to catch up. He said softly: "After going to the Violet Principality, I became a mage there. I also obtained the secret medicine to improve the knight's talent. My strength has broken through to the deep blue."

"This should be considered as living up to your expectations for me."

When Heins heard this, he froze in place, with a complex expression of relief on his face.

He was happy that Chu Ming was able to break through to the deep blue, but also felt disappointed that he had persevered for several years, but in the end it was a meaningless self-proof.

The man forced a smile and said, "Ren, congratulations, you have broken through your own limits."

Chu Ming patted his shoulder solemnly, "Teacher Hines, let yourself go, you have done enough."

Hines nodded in a daze, but after seeing Chu Ming living so well, some of the cracks in his heart seemed to be slowly healing.

Chu Mingxiao asked: "I came to the castle this time for the inheritance of the epic knight. Teacher, do you know how to get it?"

Hearing this, Hines suddenly raised his head, "Are you going to break through the epic?!"

There was a look of shock that could not be concealed on the man's face. His melancholy mood immediately eased a lot, and his expression became relaxed.

Chu Ming nodded and said: "Yes, if I can have the help of the Epic Knight inheritance, I will soon be able to break through to the Epic."

A sincere smile finally appeared on Hines' face, "Ren, you have completely surpassed me."

"If you want to obtain the epic knight inheritance, please come with me."

The man walked into the corridor and led the way. Compared with before, his heavy steps were much lighter. During the chat with Chu Ming, his tone and mood fluctuated.

Chu Ming and the other three walked straight into the castle. Along the way, they met many tribesmen passing by, but these people just walked by indifferently and ignored them.

Among the three of them, Hines was a well-known madman in the castle, and no one knew Chu Ming and Irina. They passed by many people and came to the door of the spacious library on the second floor.

Chu Ming asked doubtfully: "Teacher, are you sure this is here?"

Hines opened the door to the library and explained: "The epic inheritance of the Cloud Thunder Knight is placed in the secret room of the castle, and the secret room is in the library."

"Although I don't know what it takes to obtain the epic knight inheritance, I can lead you to Jerome who is currently waiting at the door of the secret room."

When Chu Ming heard the name Jerome, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a gentle smile appeared in his mind.

He is the Uncle Jerome Nulia mentioned, possessing the strength of an epic knight. He and Ren's father were born in the same era, and the two of them often performed missions together in the past.

Logically speaking, as an epic knight, Jerome is not over 100 years old, so he should be considered young. Positions like guarding the secret room of the library are usually held by the elders of the family. These elderly people The epic knights prefer a quieter environment, and guarding the secret room of books is a good retirement choice for them.

I didn’t expect that Jerome would become the manager of the secret room of the library. Is this going to save him decades of detours in advance...

Chu Ming's mind was filled with cluttered thoughts. While he was thinking, he followed Haines' footsteps to a corner of the library.

There is a counter table in the library secret room next to the corner. Beside the table, a man who looks a little weathered is crossing his thighs and reading the newspaper in his hand with great interest.

This thing called a newspaper was printed by a famous magic newspaper in southern Xinjiang. The black text on the newspaper with magic seals was neat, and the pictures were brightly colored. They were hand-painted and then printed.

Due to the high cost of printing a magic newspaper, even magic newspapers rarely publish magic newspapers. The magic newspapers in Jerome's hands are the kind that even if you have money, you can't buy them.

After Chu and Ming walked towards the counter, Jerome said lazily without raising his head: "Please show me the family ban on borrowing books, or else just go to the nearby bookshelf and get a book to read."

"Uncle Jerome, it's me."

"Why do you, a young man, still call me uncle..."

Jerome put down the magic newspaper in his hand and slowly raised his head. He was just halfway through speaking when he was stunned when he saw Ming's appearance clearly.

The man laughed and stood up from the chair, "Ren, welcome back."

"etc……"

The look on his face didn't last long before it turned to surprise.

"Your aura...have you advanced to the deep blue level?!"

He still knew Chu Ming's situation very well, but he didn't expect that he would break through the limit, which made Jerome sigh.

Chu Ming nodded and said: "I plan to return to the family castle this time to obtain the inheritance of the epic knight, Uncle Jerome."

"this……"

After hearing what Chu Ming said, Jerome looked embarrassed.

The man shook his head worriedly and said: "The secret book of Yun Lei behind me does contain the secret technique of Yun Lei, but I can't give it to you."

Chu Ming was stunned and quickly asked: "I would like to ask Uncle Jerome to answer this question."

Jerome sighed and said seriously: "According to family regulations, only knights who have made significant contributions or ranked among the top ten in the knight assessment can obtain a place to practice the epic knight inheritance."

He paused and pointed out something, "It's still a bit difficult to achieve major contributions. I suggest you prepare for the next knight assessment."

After listening, Chu Ming held his chin and thought.

In fact, he could understand the Brick family's approach. If it were too easy to obtain the epic knight inheritance, the knights would not know how to cherish it and would lose their enterprising spirit.

Although there are quite a few knights within and outside the clan who are promoted to the dark blue every year, these knights still have a long way to go before they can break through to the epic level. The Brick family is not in a hurry to give the epic knight inheritance to Knights, the purpose of setting up this rule is to encourage the people to practice bravely and not to be immersed in the deep blue level and be complacent.

After a few seconds, Chu Ming asked: "When will the next knight assessment start?"

Jerome smiled and said: "Two months later, it will be enough for you to be well prepared."

Chu Ming shook his head slightly. He didn't think this was a good thing, which meant that he had to wait two months to obtain the epic knight inheritance.

Is there any way to speed up this process...

Just as he was deep in thought, a surprised voice sounded from behind everyone.

"Sir Ren, it turns out you are really here."
