Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

After everyone recovered, Chu Ming assembled the knight team.

He glanced at the knights and said, "You have done well this time, but you are not skilled enough in the use of power. Let's go. This experience is not over yet."

The knights said yes and followed Chu Ming deeper into the middle area.

Three days later, the edge of the core area.

Chu Ming waved his arm, and the burning will was wrapped around it. He just lifted up the dark creature that looked like a gargoyle and squeezed it, and the monster screamed and was burned into charred stones by the power of the sun.

Throwing the monster to the ground, the golden flames subsided and returned to the knight.

Chu Ming picked out a few useful dark materials from the rocks and handed them to Miguel who was standing aside.

Nathan stepped forward and said: "Captain, our dry food and water are almost exhausted."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Then go back. The purpose of this experience has been achieved. There is no point in staying here anymore."

During these three days, Chu Ming led the knights to wander deep in the middle zone, killing countless dark creatures, and even encountered many marauding knights who wanted to attack them. The result was naturally not very good. Well, either it has been turned into fertilizer on the grassland, or it has been arrested and tried by the Knights Inquisition.

After so many battles, the knights gradually became familiar with the new power, and the tacit understanding between them also improved a lot.

Specifically, when Chu Ming mobilized his burning will, this special force of will was more tenacious and powerful than entering the dark place.

After the knights packed up the loot on the ground, Chu Ming took out the map and observed it with Milisa for a while. After finding the correct location, he led the knights to the camp where they came.

Four hours later, at twelve o'clock at noon, Chu Ming and his party walked out of the dark place.

The warm sunshine fell on everyone, and the knights shouted in comfort.

Normally they don't realize how precious the sun is, but in the oppressive dark place, without seeing the sun all day long, their bronze skin has turned a lot whiter.

Now that they finally saw the sun, everyone couldn't help but feel joy in their hearts.

Compared with the knights, Chu Ming's face was dull and there was not much emotion on his face. He had simply stayed in the dark place for a long time and was used to it. He would not be as surprised as the knights when he saw the sun. .

Milisa on the side glanced at Chu Ming, with a strange look on her face.

When she and the previous team of knights came out of the dark place for the first time, her reaction was the same as these knights. They were particularly happy to be bathed in the sun.

But she didn't expect Chu Ming's reaction to be so...calm, as if he was used to it.

Judging from Chu Ming's experience in dealing with dark creatures in the past few days, Milissa wondered if he had often been in and out of dark places when he was in the Violet Principality.

…

Not long after they walked out, everyone quickly met the knights of the Knight Tribunal patrolling nearby. After showing the knights their clan emblem, Chu Ming and the others returned to the camp.

Noisy shouts came from the camp. People in different clothes walked back and forth in the camp. Some knights and the merchants who purchased the materials were scolding each other. They were dissatisfied with the merchants' lowering the purchase price of the materials.

Chu Mingchao said to the knight behind him: "You should find a more reliable vendor to sell the materials harvested in the past few days. You can divide the gold coins among yourself."

Miguel and the others grinned, thanked them, and walked towards the densely packed tent area of ​​the camp with the bags hanging on their belts.

Milisa left first because she had something to do, leaving Chu Ming alone. He stretched and then wandered around the camp leisurely for a while, buying several alchemy potions that could be used during training.

Before he could continue shopping, a familiar figure came over.

"Ren?"

The man sounded surprised and quickly walked towards Chu Ming.

Chu Ming turned around and looked at the man in surprise, "Crono, why are you here?"

"Didn't you go visit Agnes? What happened?"

Crono coughed lightly, with an angry look on his face, "I went and came back, but that woman Agnes is simply unreasonable."

"After I went there, she insisted on dragging me into a mage duel with her students..."

Chu Ming asked curiously: "So you won?"

Crono's face became even more embarrassed, "I lost..."

"It's just that that guy is too cunning. My spells can't hit her at all. Damn it."

Crono's face turned red with anger when he thought of the battle.

Chu Ming asked strangely: "Then what are you doing here?"

Crono said with a headache: "Yaglisi's students are unreasonable shrews just like her. Didn't I just lose a round? This woman comes to the guild every day to humiliate me, so that everyone knows that I can't beat her." ”

"She always provokes me and asks me to continue dueling with her. I am not stupid and will not seek abuse, so I temporarily left the City of Sauron to avoid the limelight."

The man said, looking at Chu Ming with a pitiful look for help, "Ren, you have to make the decision for me. This woman is too arrogant. Why don't you help me teach her a lesson."

Chu Ming's face turned dark after hearing this. It was too late for him to avoid Agnes. Wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he sent her to her door in person?

Without even thinking about it, he refused: "Crono, you'd better solve it yourself, I can't protect myself."

He said, gloating: "Besides, this must be a good thing for you, it just spurs you to practice."

Hearing this, Cronuo was about to cry without tears. He quickly put his arm on Chu Ming's shoulder and said, "I really can't beat that woman."

"And Lady Agnes is not as fierce as you said. I think she is quite kind, senior."

Chu Ming paused and asked in surprise: "Didn't she have any indication that you are Master Violet?"

Crono waved his hand and said: "I see, those guys who say that Ms. Agnes has a bad attitude towards the mages from the Violet Principality must be talking nonsense. Maybe they have never met Ms. Agnes."

After listening to Crono's words, Chu Ming fell into deep thought. If Agnes really had no hostility towards Master Violet, then wouldn't her inexplicable attention to him be the concern of an elder for a younger generation, not what he thought before? , Agnes wants to deal with him.

In any case, Chu Ming has no intention of contacting Agnes. As for Cronuo... he can only let him ask for his blessings. It is just a humiliation. Just endure it. If not, practice hard and defeat what he says. That hateful woman.

Chu Ming shook his head, "Crono, why don't you go back to Reran Kingdom? If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid your reputation will be worse than that of a beggar on the street."

"no."

Crono suddenly stared, and he said angrily: "I won't be willing to defeat that woman, so running away now won't make me feel guilty."

"When I defeat her, I must spank her hard, and then ask the artist to help me draw her shameful expression and hang it in the hall so that everyone can laugh at her."

After Crono finished speaking, he showed a proud look.

Just as Chu Ming was about to speak, he saw a woman with long dark hair shawl and wearing a white robe walking towards him. She was staring at Crono with a half-smile in her amber eyes.

"Crono, are you really going to do this?"

"of course……"

In the middle of Crono's words, he suddenly got stuck in his throat. He focused his eyes on the woman, his pupils shrank, the magic marks on his body quickly lit up, and he ran outside without looking back.

Before leaving, he did not forget to shout to remind Chu Ming, "Ren, run quickly, don't get caught by this witch."

The woman stood there, eyes narrowed, becoming more and more dangerous.

Just when she was about to raise her hand to release the spell, the golden magic pattern spread like branches in the air, stopping the woman's movement.

Chu Ming said calmly: "This is the Dark Land outpost camp. When you release spells here, aren't you afraid of provoking the Cloud Thunder Knights?"

Although he said he would not help Cronuo, when he saw Crono acting like a mouse running away, he still couldn't help but take action.

The magic light in the woman's palm disappeared, and her eyes shimmered as she carefully observed the golden magic patterns spreading in the air, obviously not taking Chu Ming's threat to heart.

Chu Ming frowned slightly, his muscles relaxed, and the golden magic lines retreated from his body and were hidden in his skin.

The woman came back to her senses, smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Renn, aren't you the Knight of Cloud Thunder?"

"Please forgive me for being rude and allow me to introduce you. My name is Elena Bablin, Teacher Aglis' most proud student."

Chu Ming raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to do here?"

Elena bowed politely to Chu Ming, "As you saw just now, I'm here to see Crono."

"But it's Elena's honor to meet Mr. Renn here. Why don't you come with me to visit Teacher Agnes now? She has missed you for a long time."

Chu Ming's heart sank, feeling that he had been tricked by Crono.

Looking at the faint smile on Elena's face in front of him, he felt full of malice coming towards him.

He finally understood why Crono was so nervous when he saw this woman.

This smile is clearly part mockery and part knife. Who can withstand this?

Seeing Chu Ming's delay in responding, the woman's tone became pitiful, "Mr. Lane, if you want to refuse, I will truthfully report it to Teacher Aglis. I think she will understand you."

He actually used Agnes as a threat, Chu Ming cursed inwardly.

His expression remained unchanged, and he showed a faint smile, "I have admired Lady Agnes for a long time, so naturally I will not refuse."

Elena has already come to the door, and the meeting with Agnes is inevitable. It is better to agree generously. Being timid will make people look down on her.

Elena seemed to have guessed Chu Minghui's reaction. She bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Renn, don't worry, Teacher Aglis just wants to discuss magic issues with you, and has no other intentions."

Chu Ming was speechless. Instead of looking for other legendary mages to discuss spells, why would he look for a mage who didn't even reach the level of an epic mage? What was he doing when he was full and had nothing to do?

No matter how much he complained in his heart, he still smiled politely and said: "After today's matter is resolved, tomorrow I will go to the Knight Council to visit Lord Agnes. The people here are messy. Miss Elena, you are here alone. Afraid of being unsafe, why not return to the city of Sauron with me first."

Elena chuckled and refused: "No, I'm here to find Crono. Since he ran away, I should go back."

"But Mr. Ren, please take Crono with you when you go to the Knights Council tomorrow. Teacher Agnes is also worried about him."

Chu Ming smiled and nodded, and said to himself: "Crono, you are right about one thing. This woman is really eyeing you. I wish you good luck."

He silently prayed for Crono.

The woman said goodbye to Chu Ming, turned around and left the camp without looking back.

After a long time, when all the knights returned, Crono followed quietly.

Crono hid behind Miguel and took a look. He was relieved when he didn't see Elena nearby.

He came to Chu Ming and asked quickly: "How is it? Did the witch give you any trouble?"

Chu Ming glanced at him and said angrily: "Crono, why didn't I notice that you ran away so fast before, and you left me here alone?"

Crono's face turned red and he said in embarrassment: "I was going crazy from being tortured by this woman, so I subconsciously ran away..."

"By the way, what did she tell you?"

Chu Ming stared at the guilty Crono, and said with a half-smile: "Tomorrow, you and I will go to the Knights Council again, and I will visit Agnes."

Crono let out a confused "Ah" and whispered: "Can I not go?"

Chu Ming sneered and said, "I asked you to go there by name. Do you dare not to go?"

"I... of course... I'll go."

In the middle of Crono's words, the anger he had just raised suddenly fell out, revealing a bitter look on his face.

Chu Ming patted his shoulder and said, "I will go to your room to find you tomorrow. Don't run away from me."

"Isn't it?"

Crono nodded helplessly.

After chatting with Cronuo, Chu Ming went to the stables of the camp to take out the war horses fostered here, and led the knights back to the mercenary guild.

As soon as Chu Ming came back, he cleaned his body, then returned to the room, and disappeared directly with the silver clan emblem in his hand.

Underground secret room.

Walking to the forest corridor, Chu Ming thought of Jerome who had been missing for a long time.

He asked Vincent and other tribesmen, but no one knew where Jerome went, let alone what he did.

Chu Ming couldn't help but shook his head. He was used to Jerome's mysterious appearance, but since Jerome didn't say anything, he had no intention of exploring.

When he reached the end of the forest corridor, Chu Ming saw a forked entrance. To the left was the passage to the training area, and to the right was the passage to the next level.

He is definitely not qualified to enter the next level. He is here just to obtain new secrets.

Counting the time, Vincent should have recorded his and Milissa's contributions in the documents of the Knight Tribunal. It shouldn't be too early to come here now.

Chu Ming walked down the stairs. The light of the crystal stone above his head was soft, green vines climbed in from the forest corridor, and small purple flowers bloomed, emitting a fragrance, adding a bit of vitality to the corridor.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming came to the end of the corridor - in front of a simple wooden door.
