Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

After staying in the yard for a while, Chu Ming and Nulia finished talking about their recent experiences and planned to leave.

Nuria stood up and waved her hands, saying worriedly: "Be safe."

"Don't worry, Mother Nuria."

Chu Ming nodded, said goodbye to the woman, and walked out of the house with Irina.

Behind him, Irina waved vigorously to Valerie. She turned back and asked curiously: "Master, where are we going?"

Chu Ming paused and said, "Go to Brick Castle to find Teacher Hines."

Irina's eyes lit up, but when she thought of Pedro, she couldn't help but struggle: "What if I meet such a terrible person again?"

Chu Ming picked her up in the carriage and said with a smile: "It has been discovered anyway, and I don't mind if one more person knows about it."

As long as he doesn't fall out with Pedro now, he will be protected by the legend and has nothing to fear. In other words, he will be safer than before.

"But this Princess Katie is a problem, I have to find a way to refuse..."

After bidding farewell to the head maid Valerie, while Chu Ming was thinking, the wheels rolled and the carriage rushed towards the castle.

Ten minutes later, the carriage arrived at the gate of the castle. When the guard at the gate saw the gold-patterned Yunlei clan emblem carved on the carriage, he did not dare to stop him and immediately got out of the way. Chu Ming successfully entered the castle.

"Master, get off here and it's closer to the library."

The carriage stopped in front of a corridor, and the old servant opened the door for Chu Ming himself.

"Thanks."

Chu Ming took Irina out of the carriage, then walked into the corridor in a familiar way, and disappeared from the sight of the old servant after a while.

On the way to the library, Chu Ming found that unlike the more lively castles in the past, the castle today seemed very deserted. He had not met any Brick people along the way. Only some servants were diligently cleaning the windows. of dust.

Chu Ming shook his head and said: "The royal family is becoming more and more arrogant. If this continues, it will not be a good thing for the Clinton Kingdom or the Brick family."

Now the royal family still has a reason to control the major families in order to resist the dark demon nest. If the demon nest disappears, external conflicts will no longer exist. Under the high-pressure rule of the royal family, the major families may rebel. In Clinton Civil strife breaks out in the kingdom.

"Only legends can determine the direction of the war. The royal family has absorbed the power of legends across the country, and it is extremely difficult for major families to resist."

"But this matter has nothing to do with me for the time being. At worst, I will run outside the Clinton Kingdom to avoid the limelight."

"But Pedro won't let me run away like this..."

"If I want to escape from the Clinton Kingdom, Crono will definitely not be able to help me. There seems to be no legend in their family. Maybe I have to ask my senior sister for help..."

Chu Ming thought for a while and quickly arrived at the door of the library.

He walked inside and found that the entire library was empty except for Hines, who was sitting on the counter quietly reading books.

Noticing the footsteps approaching him, Haines raised his head. When he saw that the person coming was Chu Ming, he couldn't help but have a surprised expression on his face.

"Ren?"

"Why are you here? There are many strangers patrolling the castle now. If you are discovered..."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own solution."

"Compared to this, I have something more important to ask you."

"Are there any books on the study of divine words in the library?"

"What are you doing studying the Word of God?"

Hines held his chin and thought for a while, "There should be some, I'll go look for it."

The man put down the books in his hands, stood up and left the counter, walking towards the depths of the bookshelf.

Chu Ming and Irina followed the man and disappeared into the sea of ​​books together.

"Herbs, stone, elemental spells..."

Hines muttered the labels on the bookshelf, passing through the shelves one after another.

"Language category."

The man paused for a moment, and he rummaged through the bookshelf according to the vague memories in his mind.

In fact, there are not many language books in the library, and there are very few new books on the shelves. Almost no one comes to look at them. Hines only passes by when cleaning dust, so he has no idea what books are on the shelves. clear.

Fortunately, although the library of Brick Castle cannot be compared with the Central Library of the Violet City, it is still well-equipped, including books on the study of divine words.

Hines rummaged under the bookshelf for a while and pulled out two ancient and thick books.

The man explained: "These two books are called "A Study of Ancient Languages" and "The Sound and Rhythm of Divine Words" respectively."

"The author of "A Study of Ancient Languages", Ganis Renaud, is an archaeologist from the Fengyang Empire. He once followed the imperial army deep into the dark land."

"While the army was expanding its territory, Ganis discovered many traces and written records left by the ancient gods' races. He compiled the language records he discovered into a book, and later generations updated the grammar and added new content. "

"This book has been in the library longer than I have been in the library. I don't know when it was collected by our family."

"The content inside is quite complicated. It includes not only the study of divine words, but also the study of the languages ​​used by the major races of gods."

Chu Ming took two books that were thicker than dictionaries and opened "The Sound and Rhythm of Divine Words".

"What about this one?"

Hines thought for a while, ""The Sound and Rhythm of the Word of God" is a book specializing in the study of the Word of God. The content of the analysis of the Word of God is explained in great detail from easy to difficult. If you want to study the Word of God, read It’s the perfect fit.”

"This book is said to be written by a mage from the First Magic Era. It is mentioned on the first page of the book that this person's name is Fabiola Ramos and he is a powerful legendary mage."

"Because the book is made of special magical materials, it still retains most of its useful content after a long period of war and drifting."

"The book actually has three authors. The other two authors are from the Dark Age and our current Second Magical Era respectively. They have maintained the book and added a lot of new content and conjectures."

Chu Ming asked curiously: "Is the book "The Sound and Rhythm of Divine Words" in my hand the original one?"

Hines shook his head and said: "Probably not. "The Sound and Rhythm of the Word of God" is the most widely circulated book on the study of the Word of God in the archaeological and adventure circles. The real original may have disappeared long ago. If it is really the original , it’s impossible to be so well preserved.”

"There is a lot of content in it. Most people don't have the patience to read it all, and they can't understand it."

"I suggest you start with "Test of Ancient Languages". The content of this book is relatively simple and can help you establish a basic understanding of divine words."

"After you have a basic understanding of it, you can read "The Sound and Rhythm of the Word of God" and it will be easy to understand the content."

Chu Ming hugged the book and said thanks: "Thank you, teacher."

Hines smiled and waved his hand, leading Chu and Ming back to the counter. He opened the cabinet under the counter, carefully took out a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, and handed it to Irina.

Irina took the package and looked through it. Then she seemed to realize something and said happily: "Teacher, did Miss Fairy give it to me?"

Hines smiled and nodded, "This is from the author of "Fairy Forest". The staff at the inn just delivered it yesterday. I didn't expect that she would send such a big package. I originally planned to go I gave the Tulip Street to Ms. Nulia and asked her to hand it over to you. I didn’t expect you to come here today.”

Chu Ming touched his chin and asked, "Irina, why don't you take it apart and see what's inside."

Although Irina seems to have a good relationship with the so-called fairy lady, Chu Ming is still a little wary of this mysterious author. It is best to open the package in front of him, if there is any danger inside He can also solve it quickly.

"oh."

Irina scratched her head. She didn't think much about it, she just thought Chu Ming was curious about what was inside.

"But how to open this?"

The girl looked through every side of the package, but couldn't find any place to open it.

Hines pointed to the dark red mark in the middle of the package, "Put your finger on it and try."

Irina nodded obediently. She placed the package on the ground, squatted and pressed her fingers on the dark red mark.

A miraculous scene happened. The originally sealed kraft paper on the package suddenly melted like ice and snow, turning into green fireflies and floating in the library, shining like stars. A light green gift box with a bow inside appeared in front of the three of them. before.

Chu Ming did not move in the face of the sudden change, because he did not sense any dangerous aura in these glowing light green fireflies. On the contrary, the fireflies seemed to still be exuding the vitality of the wood element magic, faintly stirring. It catches Chu Ming's mind.

"I'm going to open it."

Irina's eyes were filled with anticipation. She carefully opened the gift box, and a burst of light green light emitted from it. A short staff, letters and books appeared in front of the three of them.

The girl said happily: "Miss Fairy sent me a new book again, as well as a letter written by herself."

She took out the books and letters, and the only thing left inside was the short staff that emitted light green light.

Irina picked up the short staff and asked curiously: "Master, what is this?"

"Show me."

Chu Ming took the short staff from the girl's hand, and new information immediately appeared in the history book.

【Fairy Wooden Staff】

[Quality: Purple☆]

[Skill: Fairy Feather Clothes]

Seeing the information above, Chu Ming was shocked. He didn't expect that the so-called fairy lady turned out to be a goblin.

So far, Chu Ming has not seen a goblin in Southern Xinjiang. It seems that all the goblins have suddenly disappeared. However, in the First Magic Era, goblins were clearly very common.

Originally, he planned to find traces of Maple Flower through some goblin groups. He didn't know how the little goblin lived after he and Isabel left.

But after he entered writing, he discovered that even in the Violet Principality, known as the kingdom of wizards, there was no trace of fairies. Even if he asked other wizards, the wizards would just shake their heads in confusion.

Originally, Chu Ming had planned to give up the search temporarily and wait until he heard the legend to find out the reasons behind it. However, he did not expect that the traces of the goblin he was looking for would one day appear in front of him so dramatically.

"Master?"

Looking at Chu Ming who was in a daze holding the staff, Irina couldn't help shouting worriedly.

Chu Ming came back from his thoughts. He apologized and returned the staff to Irina.

Irina asked expectantly: "How is it?"

Chu Ming smiled and said: "It's a good staff. You can try it to see if it can be used."

"Um."

After receiving Chu Ming's approval, Irina smiled happily. She held the staff and didn't know how to use it, so she just waved it randomly.

Without being touched by her spirit, the staff was automatically released according to Irina's thoughts, emitting a dazzling green light.

In Irina's curious gaze, green light flowed like water, lingering around her arms and covering her body.

There was only a bang, and Chu Ming seemed to hear the ringing of a bell. Green light exploded on Irina. A layer of transparent little skirt emitting green light hung down. The pleated skirt was like layers of bird feathers, delicate. And beautiful.

"I seem to... be able to fly."

Irina's doubtful voice sounded, and the green light behind her formed transparent bee wings. They flapped gently, and the girl lifted her feet off the ground and floated.

"It's fun!"

Irina laughed playfully and flew up to the bookshelf.

Chu Ming looked at Irina, who was as lively and cute as a fairy, and the memory in his mind was evoked. With a flicker of his eyes, he seemed to see the maple flowers laughing and playing with Isabel in the maple leaf forest.

Hines exclaimed: "What a magical magic, I have never seen it before."

"This spell has broken away from the scope of the human spell system, just like...the legendary goblin releasing the goblin spell..."

Hines paused. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. A look of confusion and shock suddenly appeared on his face, "Could it be that..."

He suddenly realized that the so-called fairy lady was a goblin.

"But didn't the goblin disappear long ago?"

In the minds of men, goblins are only legendary creatures. At the beginning of the Second Magical Era, there were indeed many goblins walking on the continent, but at some point, the goblins gradually faded out of human sight, waiting for human reaction. When we came over, the goblin had completely disappeared on the mainland.

He felt a little unbelievable that the trace of a suspected goblin came into his field of vision just like that.

But after he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he found that the magic used by this staff was indeed not like human magic, but very similar to the fairy magic described in the book. It is not impossible that the author of "Fairy Forest" is a fairy. .

Seeing that the man had recognized it as a goblin spell, Chu Ming no longer concealed it and nodded, "This does look like a trace of a goblin."

The man sighed: "It's really unbelievable. I never thought that one day I would be able to become a discoverer of ancient creatures."

"Teacher, the goblin hasn't disappeared yet. Perhaps it's more appropriate to describe it as a rare creature."

Hines nodded blankly. He looked at Irina jumping and flying on the bookshelf, and suddenly said: "Should I find something for myself to do, such as writing an autobiography about my contact with fairies - a certain ordinary knight?" A story with goblins.”

Chu Ming couldn't laugh or cry, "You haven't been exposed to it yet, haven't you?"

He paused, the smile on his face disappeared, and his tone became serious.

"Teacher, I hope you won't tell anyone about the traces of the goblin you found today."

Hines was stunned. He was about to ask why, but suddenly his mind moved, "You mean you are afraid that someone will do something to Irina."

Chu Ming nodded seriously and said: "The news of the traces of goblins is so important that even a legendary figure will be moved. If the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous."

Hines took a deep breath and said, "I understand. Irina is also my student after all. I won't let anything happen to her."

There was regret in the man's tone, "It's just a pity that my autobiography is going to be ruined."

"Thank you." Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder and joked: "If I become a legend one day, you can not only write, but also write more wonderfully."

"I'm looking forward to that day," Hines laughed.

The two chatted for a while, and Irina flew down. The feather coat on her body dissipated, and an excited smile remained on her face.

Chu Ming said to Hines: "There are many royal spies here. Irina and I will go back to the guild first. If you have any questions, you can go to the guild to see me directly."

Hines nodded and said, "Be careful on the road. I will keep everything today secret for you."

"See you."

Chu Ming picked up the gift box on the ground, pulled Irina to say goodbye to Hines, and walked outside the castle.

In the corridor, Chu Ming rubbed Irina's hair, "How do you feel?"

Irina said happily: "It's so fun, Miss Fairy is indeed the best."

Chu Ming chuckled and said, "What about me?"

Irina snorted softly and turned her face sideways, "Young master always bullies me, he is the worst."

"Well."

The two went downstairs and returned to the carriage.

Chu Ming looked at Irina and warned softly: "This staff can be used at home or in the guild, but it should not be used outside. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Master."

Irina nodded without asking for the reason, because she knew that the young master was always right, and she just had to obey.

After seeing that Irina understood, Chu Ming's tone became relaxed, and he changed the subject and asked: "Didn't Miss Fairy write you a letter? Let's see what she wrote?"

"Right."

Irina opened the gift box in her hand, opened the letter printed with fire paint, and read the contents inside.

After learning to read for so long, she has been able to understand most of the text. She can understand the contents of the letter without Chu Ming or Hines dictating it.

After reading the letter, Irina picked up the wooden stick and said with a smile: "Miss Fairy said this is a toy given to me. I hope I like it, hehe."

Chu Ming was dumbfounded. The epic fairy wooden staff was called a toy. This fairy was too generous. This was quite similar to the way he treated the staff as an assembly line product when he was a wizard.

"Since that fairy lady is a goblin, after Irina replies to the letter, I may be able to ask her about Maple Flower's trace in the letter."
