Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

"Da da da……"

The sound of horse hooves echoed in the streets. After two months of journey, the knights finally returned to the city of Sauron.

Just after entering the city, when the knights were riding on the streets, Chu Ming noticed some inexplicable probing eyes coming from all around, and the whispers of passers-by reached Chu Ming's ears from the corners of the streets.

"Hey, sir, where did this knights come from? Why are all the knights so powerful?"

"You have just come to the City of Sauron, right? This knight is the famous Burning Knight in the West City. It comes from the Burning Mercenary Guild. Did you see the gentleman in front of you? He is the leader of this knight, named Renn. ·Brick is from the Brick family.”

"Oh, hahaha, that's it."

"Then may I ask, what is Master Ren's strength?"

"I don't know about that, it's just that it's very powerful."

"I get it, thank."

After the man finished asking, he stared at Chu Ming's back and turned around and entered the alley.

After Chu Ming sensed the suspicious person, he frowned slightly, but he did not look back, but led the knights towards the west city.

Along the way, he found that there seemed to be fewer wandering knights on the street than before. Although it was night time and it was normal for the number of pedestrians to be small, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

"Did something happen in the city of Sauron?"

Chu Ming was thinking secretly in his heart. Ten minutes later, they finally returned to Vasco Street in the West City.

"stop!"

Everyone slowed down their war horses and gradually stopped at the entrance of the mercenary guild.

"Master Ren?"

A servant who had just come back from outside with a wooden basin in his arms saw the knights stopped by the mercenary guild. He was confused for a moment. After confirming that it was really Chu Ming, the woman showed an excited expression.

"Young...Master, welcome back, I will go and inform Miss Irina and Miss Amy."

"sorry to bother you."

Chu Ming nodded slightly, jumped off the horse, and let the knight lead the horse into the stable.

Miguel looked at the bright guild hall and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm finally back."

The fox knight Nathan came over and put his hand on the man's shoulder and smiled: "I didn't expect to experience so much in the Kingdom of Reran with the leader. Unfortunately, if there weren't too many dark demon nests on the road, I would also like to see the dwarf kingdom. The local customs and customs.”

Chu Ming chuckled lightly and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Master, wow wow wow!"

Chu Ming was stunned. He looked into the hall and saw Irina running towards him.

Her eyes were sparkling like tears, and her tone was filled with excitement and grievance.

"Irina?"

Chu Ming smiled and knelt down, hugged Irina who was running towards him, and used his thumb to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong? Besides the young master, does anyone here dare to bully you?"

Dissatisfied, Irina punched Chu Ming on the chest with her small fist. Before Chu Ming could react, the armor's magic patterns automatically lit up, and the thick patterns blocked her fist.

The girl muttered: "Even the armor bullies me."

Chu Ming smiled helplessly. He carried Irina and walked into the hall, and bumped into Amy and others who were coming over.

After Amy saw Chu Ming and the busy knights behind him, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.

"Sir Ren, Brother Miguel, welcome back."

"Have you eaten? I'll ask the kitchen chef to prepare dinner for you now."

Chu Ming shook his head and said: "No need, it's too late now. Just ask the guild staff to go to a nearby restaurant to bring us dinner back."

Amy nodded and gave some instructions to several guild members behind her.

After Amy finished her work, Chu Ming glanced at Irina in his arms, and then asked the girl: "Is this guy being bullied? Why does he cry and make trouble when he sees me?"

"certainly not."

Irina retorted, struggled and jumped out of Chu Ming's arms.

Amy's face showed a bit of helplessness, "Sir, you have been away for too long, and what happened in Reran Kingdom...it is difficult not to worry."

"Has the news about Reran Kingdom spread back to the country?"

Chu Ming was moved, but he was not surprised. After all, it had been more than three months since he had been back and forth to Reran Kingdom, and the news should have been spread back to Clinton Kingdom long ago.

Without continuing to dwell on this aspect, Chu Ming asked about the strange things he encountered when he first came back.

"What happened in the City of Sauron recently? Why are there so many outsiders on the streets?"

Before Amy could answer, a lazy uncle's voice came from the back hall.

"It's a long story."

Under the gaze of everyone, Jerome walked out with a full belly and burping.

Chu Ming looked a little surprised, "Uncle Jerome, why are you here?"

Jerome did not answer Chu Ming's question directly, but waved to him, "Come in with me and we'll talk."

The man glanced outside the guild door, turned and walked into the back hall.

Chu Ming paused in his heart and glanced out of the door with his peripheral vision.

On the street, a few passerby knights who liked to watch the excitement were standing at the door watching the guild knights busy carrying supplies, and they also cast their eyes into the guild hall from time to time.

Chu Ming saw this scene and understood Jerome's intention. He squatted down slightly and rubbed Irina's head.

"Irina, have you eaten?"

The girl nodded, suddenly remembered something, and shook her head again, "I ate, but I'm not full."

"Then come in with me."

Chu Ming held Irina's hand and walked into the back hall with her.

In the back hall, the lights are bright, and four dining tables are placed in the middle, with unfinished sumptuous dinners placed on them.

After watching Irina sit back and eat honestly, Chu Ming picked a grape that shimmered like amethyst from the fruit plate.

The grapes were plump in his hand, and when he bit them lightly with his teeth, the full juice exploded from his mouth, moistening his thirsty throat.

"Come for a drink...there's only juice here, just in time to welcome you back."

Jerome laughed loudly and placed a full glass of juice in front of Chu Ming.

Chu Ming casually found a seat and sat down. His face became serious and he asked the man: "Jerome, what happened in the City of Sauron?"

Jerome took a sip of juice, and his tone became unfriendly when he mentioned it.

"It's not like those guys from the royal family are causing trouble in Sauron's city, so I have no choice but to run here to take refuge."

As he said that, he looked at Chu Ming and suddenly asked: "Have you achieved an epic breakthrough?"

Chu Ming nodded, "I have gained something in Reran Kingdom."

Jerome patted him hard on the shoulder and laughed: "You can do it, you actually broke through the epic so quickly."

The man's laughter stopped and he spoke softly, "But you haven't told anyone else about this yet."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "I have just returned to the City of Sauron, and I haven't had time to go back to Tulip to talk to Nulia's mother."

Jerome shook his head seriously, "Don't tell anyone about this for now. The royal family is in the city of Sauron right now."

Chu Ming's mind moved, "Those sneaky passers-by on the streets..."

"The Clinton royal family sent them to the City of Sauron to secretly collect intelligence. The family also has a list of suspicious people. I will give it to you when I get it. When you encounter these crazy dog-like things on the street, you are the best. It’s better to hide away and not go out.”

Chu Ming fell into deep thought, "The royal family is so arrogant, don't the family elders have any countermeasures?"

When Jerome heard this, he smiled bitterly, "The Knight Tribunal has been controlled by three royal legends who were airborne. How can we resist?"

"These three legends are all well-known figures in the Clinton Kingdom. James Clinton, the son of the kingdom's general, became a legendary knight at the age of 190. He suppressed no less than three civil strife in the kingdom. The royal family's intention of sending him here is self-evident. Metaphor."

"Court Mage Agnes Savigne is a legendary mage from the Violet Principality. I heard that she came to the Clinton Kingdom because of a disagreement between her ideals and the Mage Council."

"You'd better not reveal that you came back from the Violet Principality. It would be bad if you attract that woman's attention."

"There is also the last legend, Pedro Bernudes, who comes from the Bernudes family, one of the three major families in the kingdom, which is the family your mother belongs to."

"But after Pedro became a legend, he married the royal princess and joined the royal family. If you are really in trouble, maybe you can ask this guy for help."

"James, Agnes, Pedro..."

Chu Ming muttered these three names. After thinking for a while, he asked the man: "Why did the royal family suddenly strengthen its control over Clay County? Is there a new situation happening in the Violet Principality? "

Jerome touched his chin, "That's not true. It's just that such a big thing happened in a neighboring country. The royal family is worried that the dark demon tide or other things will spread to the country and cause riots, so the royal family plans to strengthen its control over the counties. Gather the unexplored epics from each county to form a reserve army to prepare for special situations that may occur at any time.”

Chu Ming stared at the man and said, "So you ran away?"

Jerome laughed dryly and said: "That thing is not suitable for me. I have already submitted a travel letter to the clan, saying that I will go to the country of Migliorini to purchase sword magic dolls. Anyway, those guys from the royal clan don't know me. If I really encounter someone, I’ll just say I’m from out of town.”

Chu Ming gave him a thumbs up, "Uncle Jerome, you are truly worthy of it."

"Ahem, let's not talk about this topic for now."

Jerome had a somewhat eager expression on his face.

"You have just broken through the epic. I think you still have a lot of doubts about your cultivation. Why don't we compete and test your strength."

A look of interest appeared on Chu Ming's face, "That's okay, but aren't you afraid that the fluctuations in the epic battle between the two will attract the royal family's investigation?"

Jerome waved his hand and said: "It's not like the elders didn't expect that the royal family would do this, and they have already prepared measures."

He suddenly paused and glanced at the servants who were returning to the table one after another. "This is a clan secret. It's not convenient to tell you directly. Just come to me in the bedroom after you finish eating."

"I'm done eating, I'm going back first."

Chu Ming nodded and said goodbye to Jerome who was walking to the courtyard house.

“I didn’t expect that in just a few months, Clay County would have already changed.”

Chu Ming shook his head helplessly. What he needed most right now was a stable cultivation environment. It would be bad if the Clinton royal family disrupted his plan.

"If I were really found out by the royal family about my epic strength, the worst I could do would be to move the knights and the entire mercenary guild to the Kingdom of Reran to join Crono, or to the Country of Migliorini to join my senior sister. Although it would be a bit troublesome, But it’s still a solution.”

"Master, don't you want to eat?"

"The barbecue Master Jonas made today was particularly delicious."

After seeing Jerome leave, Irina held a plate of exquisite barbecue above her head and handed it to Chu Ming.

"Thank you Irina."

Chu Ming came to his senses and took the white porcelain plate with a smile.

Chu Ming used a fork to put a piece of barbecue with a slightly crispy skin into his mouth. To his surprise, the piece of barbecue was not as hard as it looked on the surface. He just bit it lightly, and the texture of the barbecue was deep. The abundant juices flowed out, and the sauce on top was just right, making it impossible for a modern man like him to find any faults.

"It's really good."

Chu Ming wiped his mouth and praised.

"Hehe..." Irina glanced at Chu Ming secretly, "Actually, Master Jonas has taught me how to make it. Master, whenever you want to eat it, I will make it for you."

Jonas, the back-up chef of the employment guild, was specially found by the head maid Valerie. He is a trustworthy chef. The man has superb cooking skills and the dishes he handles are commendable. Unexpectedly, Irina has already become his teacher. .

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Okay, I'm looking forward to the barbecue made by Irina."

After finishing the barbecue with juice, Chu Ming chatted with Amy and others at the dining table for an hour, and the meals ordered from the restaurant were finally sent back.

After all the hungry knights took their seats, Chu Ming continued to pick up the knife and fork and enjoyed dinner with the knights.

Of course, even during dinner time, his realm of order and law was still open, and the fluctuations of the bloodline secret key were expanded, wrapping up the knights and servants at the table, continuously enhancing everyone's bloodline .

After dinner, Chu Ming dismissed the knights and returned to the bedroom of the courtyard house with some exhaustion.

After taking off the armor that had been tightly tied to his body for several days, Chu Ming handed the sweaty knight uniform to the maid, and then went to the bathroom to take a comfortable bath.

An hour later, Chu Ming returned to the room and wiped his wet long hair. The magic patterns on his body lit up, and wisps of white steam floated up. His body was completely dry within a short time.

After changing into a light purple knight uniform, he took the Dark Shadow and the Sword of Reception and walked out of the courtyard.

After the servant's instructions, Chu Ming quickly found Jerome's room.

Standing in front of the door, he knocked.

"Dong dong dong..."

"It's me, Ren."

"If you come a little later, I will go to bed."

Jerome's dull voice sounded from behind the door, creak...the door opened, the man yawned and invited him in.

Jerome sat down on the chair, reached into his pocket and fumbled around, took out a mithril badge and threw it to Chu Ming. The badge was engraved with the emblem of the Brick family, the cloud, thunder and sword.

"This is……"

【Space Media】

[Quality: Purple☆]

[Remarks: The medium used for fixed-point transmission has a maximum transmission distance of less than 20 kilometers. 】

"That's the secret I'm going to tell you," Jerome explained.

"Do you still remember the metal secret room deep in the library?"

Chu Ming nodded, recalling the metal wall covered with magic patterns in his mind.

Jerome smiled and said: "Actually, there is more than one such secret room. Before Brick Castle was built, the family ancestors asked master craftsmen from the country of Migliorini to build a secret room under the castle entirely made of mithril. A huge poured chamber."

"Different from the one in the library, this underground chamber is huge and has three floors. It is enough to accommodate hundreds of knights to live in it and meet their training needs. Most of the epic knights in the clan are currently hiding in it. Practice.”

"Generally, those who know about the existence of the underground secret chamber are the epic knights in the clan. If you are promoted to epic, you will naturally be qualified to enter the underground secret chamber."

"Although the underground chamber is not completely sealed, it can generally only be entered using space media. Unless the three legends sent by the royal family dig three feet into the ground in Brick Castle, they will not be able to discover the existence of the underground chamber. .”

Jerome sat up and showed off the mithril ring with many patterns on his finger, "No matter how much I say, I'd better go and see it for myself. Are you ready?"

Chu Ming picked up the mithril badge, touched his chin, and asked the last question, "Why is your space medium a ring, and mine is a badge."

"What a good boy, you are quite considerate."

Jerome laughed.

"The ring on my hand is specially customized and has permission to pass through the second and third underground floors. Yours is just an ordinary space medium and only has permission to pass through the first layer. Of course it cannot be compared with mine."

"Ask me again when you become a top epic knight or make great contributions to the family."

"Okay, let's try pressing your mental power into the space medium."

As the man finished speaking, his body was swallowed up by a flash of silver light that suddenly appeared and disappeared.

Chu Ming took a deep breath and mentally penetrated the mithril badge.

Suddenly, he felt that his eyes were surrounded by strong light, and his body seemed to be thrown into a roller and rotated countless times. His strong muscles were torn instantly, and strong pain hit him. Even his epic body could not resist the distortion of space. The pull.

The next second, the silver light disappeared, and Chu Ming, covered with scars, appeared in a room made entirely of metal. Next to him, Jerome looked at him with a half-smile, as if he wanted to see his joke.

Chu Ming was speechless in his heart, green light emerged from his body, and the muscle tears caused by the teleportation instantly recovered.

When Jerome saw Chu Ming being so calm, he curled his lips and said, "So being a mage is the most boring thing."

"When I entered the secret room for the first time, I thought I was going to die and was scared half to death."

Chu Ming complained: "No wonder only epic knights are allowed to enter. If knights below epic level dare to use teleportation, they will be torn into pieces instantly."

Jerome chuckled, "Follow me."

The man pressed his palm against the wall, and the magic lines rippled out from his palm, forming the shape of a door.

He pulled gently and the metal door opened.

After Chu Ming followed Jerome out of the room, he came to a spacious hall with a dome more than ten meters high and covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters.

On the white metal walls surrounding the hall, from time to time, magic patterns would gather into the shape of a door, and then a knight would walk out of it.

Jerome smiled and said: "Don't look at how big this place is. In fact, it is just a palace dedicated to teleportation. There are also larger living areas and training areas in the secret room."
