Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

After the battle, the streets were in a mess, with stones, wooden pillars, debris and blood mixed together, and the buildings near the guild fell into ruins one after another.

The knights came and went among the ruins, either carrying stone walls or wooden pillars, and tidied up the scene.

Chu Ming raised his head and looked in the direction of the guild. The guild's yard and hall had been affected. Debris left by the aftermath of the battle was everywhere. Even a few horses in the stables were frightened away. Knights were chasing them all over the street. With.

Amy said with a sad expression on the side: "It will take many days to repair the guild, and the business will not be able to continue."

Chu Ming comforted: "It's just time for everyone to have a good rest and plan what to do next."

As he said that, he looked at Crono, "Elena has gone out and may have to come back later. Are you here to pick her up?"

Crono shook his head wildly, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

The man didn't give Chu Ming a chance to continue talking. He ran away in an instant as if his soles were oiled.

Chu Ming smiled helplessly and didn't take it to heart. He walked into the guild and thought about what happened today.

"This time, because of Agnes' help, James gave up the idea of ​​dealing with me."

"But the fact is that I have been targeted by the legend. If I continue to stay in the City of Sauron, trouble may follow."

"Gotta find a way to leave Clinton Kingdom for a while."

"First move the guild to the country of Migliorini, and then make other plans. This is the best way at the moment."

As the conflict between the royal family and the Brick family gradually intensifies, the Clinton Kingdom will become unstable and is no longer suitable for him to stay.

"And the person who reported me..."

Chu Ming thought carefully, recalling in his mind the people he had offended recently.

"Is it a marauding knight... No, it shouldn't be. A marauding knight wouldn't do such a risky thing."

Thinking of this, Chu Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Then there is only one possibility. The person who reported me is Millison, a student of Aglis."

"Only he can easily report to James. I really didn't expect..."

"With such a grudge, it seems like it's hard to keep him alive. We have to find a way to get rid of him."

Millicent's report has exposed Chu Ming's identity to James. If he is allowed to continue like this, the troubles will continue.

Chu Ming silently wrote down this matter in his heart, and then found Miguel who was directing the knights to clean up the ruins.

Seeing Chu Ming's arrival, Miguel put down the broken wooden pillar, patted the dust on his bare shoulders, and asked with a smile: "Captain, you looked so majestic just now. You scared a large group of epics and didn't dare to move. Hahaha."

Chu Ming shook his head and smiled: "I came to see you with something to tell you."

"Captain, please speak."

Miguel quickly put away the smile on his face and listened carefully.

Chu Ming looked serious and said: "You have also seen that if the royal family and our Brick family don't deal with it, things like today may happen again in the future."

"The Clinton Kingdom is no longer safe, so I plan to open a branch in the Country of Migliorini and move all guild members there."

Miguel was stunned, "Is there anything you need me to do?"

"I need to lead the knights to the country of Migliorini to get familiar with it and select a place suitable for building the guild's headquarters."

He added: "Of course, it would be better if you could get in touch with my senior sister over there."

Miguel nodded solemnly and said: "Don't worry, captain, I learned about the situation in the country of Migliorini from some businessmen when I was still in Violet. I will definitely complete the task you assigned me this time."

The man paused for a moment, with a worried look on his face, "But the Knights just left the Clinton Kingdom, so your safety..."

Chu Ming shook his head, "Your strength is still too weak. If you continue to stay here, you will only be a burden to me."

"When something really big happens, I can't take care of you, so it's better to leave Clinton Kingdom as soon as possible."

Miguel sighed slightly and nodded: "I understand. After the knights help repair the guild, I will immediately leave for the country of Migliorini."

The Burning Knights have made great progress in the past few years, but their foundation is still weak after all.

The enemies Chu Ming faced were basically epic or above. It would be fine if they were single epics. But for an epic army like today, the knights couldn't help at all.

Chu Ming was right. It was no longer appropriate for the Knights to continue to stay here. It was better to go to the country of Migliorini to build a branch as soon as possible.

Chu Ming bid farewell to Miguel, who was lost in thought, and returned to the courtyard room.

"I can't stop the royal family from trying to deal with the Brick family. The only thing I can do is to improve their strength as soon as possible."

Chu Ming took a deep breath and took out a wooden box from the cabinet. After unlocking it, he took out the memory crystal with the spell model engraved on it.

…

Three days later.

The mercenary guild continues to suspend operations, and the knights have already cleaned up the ruins on the streets. With the help of the knights, the masons are repairing the shops on the streets very quickly. It seems that it will not take long for the streets to return to their previous appearance.

Now that it has been decided to eliminate Millicent, the first thing to do is to obtain Millicent's intelligence.

Chu Ming asked Elena about Millicent's whereabouts.

But unfortunately, he only got the news that Millicent had disappeared from the woman's mouth.

Unable to find Millicent, Chu Ming temporarily put the plan on hold and focused on improving his own strength.

Another week has passed, and the streets near the guild have returned to their previous appearance and calm, and the guild has been successfully opened. Miguel leads the knights to bid farewell to everyone and set off for the country of Migliorini.

Chu Ming also received good news at this time, James' compensation was paid.

At Yaglisi's request, the compensation was mostly materials.

James didn't know the use of these materials and didn't care, so he just let the Legion Knight send them over.

After Chu Ming got it, he found that the materials he had been searching so hard for to make an elemental body were suddenly gathered together. He only needed to find elemental creatures to try to make an elemental body.

It is a very simple thing to find elemental creatures, such as some common elemental slimes in the forest, but if you want to make a high-quality elemental body, the level of the elemental creatures cannot be ignored.

Chu Ming's quality requirement for elemental bodies is at least epic level. An epic-level elemental body is of some use to him. Making an elemental body below epic level is a complete waste of time.

So he was not in a hurry. He just told the guild to pay attention to the news about epic elemental creatures, and then returned to his daily practice.

…

Three months later.

In the guild training hall.

"Hey..."

Irina wrung out the towel and carefully wiped the dust on the weapon rack.

After the knights went to the country of Migliorini, this lively training hall became completely deserted. If it weren't for the maids who were cleaning carefully, the place would have been covered with dust and cobwebs.

Next to the little maid, another girl who looked as old as her was carefully wiping the heavy sword with a dry towel.

This girl's name is Mina Tis, and she is a new maid who joined the guild. As a senior, Irina naturally takes on the responsibility of taking care of the juniors.

The girl was a little shy, but her eyes were full of curiosity about this new environment. She asked in a low voice: "Senior Irina, after we finish cleaning here, do we have anything else to do?"

When Irina heard the junior's question, she replied with a mature look: "You don't have to do anything, I'll give you a day off."

"Ah?" The new maid was a little confused, "But...but, isn't there anything else to do?"

Irina shook her head, "There are so many maids in the guild. They clean the halls, clean the attic, cook, wash clothes... they are all done."

Mina's eyes dimmed a little when she heard this, she bit her lips and said, "Then I'll wipe the floor again, so that the master won't be unhappy."

Irina stopped wiping and looked at the girl with a strange look, "Didn't the floor just be wiped? Why do you have to wipe it?"

Mina was a little nervous, holding on to the dusty white apron with her little hands.

"Mina looks too idle..."

"Afraid of being scolded by the master."

Before the girl came to the guild, she worked in a small family in the City of Sauron. The noble masters in the family couldn't bear to see their servants idle. The maids there would often re-wipe the mopped floors over and over again. I won't be free until the night's rest time.

The experience of repeatedly wiping the floor was taught to Mina by an older maid. She didn't know why she did it, but she had firmly remembered that wiping the floor would make her master happy.

Irina's eyebrows arched, "Young Master will not scold you. Please finish wiping these quickly and I will take you to read."

The girl bent over and asked cautiously: "Is everything really okay?"

"Mina is afraid of being beaten."

"Are you the senior or am I the senior?"

"Sister Irina is a senior..."

Irina put her hands on her hips and said, "That's alright. Just listen to me. I'll take you to read some good books. There are a lot of toys in my room. You can take whatever you want. Don't be polite to seniors."

Mina's restless heart calmed down a little, and she struggled in a low voice: "Thank you, senior, but Mina is illiterate..."

Before the girl finished speaking, Irina patted her chest and said: "Senior, I am very good. I can easily do small things like literacy. If you don't know anything, just ask me and I will teach you." .”

"Thank you, senior."

Mina thanked her quietly and wiped the weapon on her hand carefully.

Irina nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right. Oh, by the way, be careful. Although these heavy guys are not as sharp as kitchen knives, be careful not to hit your feet."

"Okay, Senior Irina."

Ten minutes later, all the dozens of rows of weapons in the training hall were wiped clean. Irina stood up and wiped away the sweat.

"Mina, let's go, wash your hands, and I'll take you to read a book."

"Uh-huh."

Mina nodded quickly, picked up the wooden basin, and followed Irina's footsteps towards the courtyard.

Irina dumped the sewage into the flowerbed in the courtyard. Mina followed suit and found a flowerbed to carefully pour the water out slowly.

After putting the tub back in the utility room and washing her hands, Irina couldn't wait to take the girl upstairs and to the room.

"Mina, where is your room?"

The little girl Mina suppressed her blush and said, "It's downstairs. The room is so big that I can't sleep alone."

Irina stopped and said with a smile: "How about you come to my room to sleep tonight, I won't be able to sleep alone."

Mina said with joy on her face: "Thank you, senior Irina."

When she worked for her previous employer, she always slept in the same room as the maids.

After arriving here, I suddenly had my own room. I couldn't adapt to it all of a sudden. I had no one to accompany me. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep when I looked at the dark room at night.

"arrive."

Irina stopped in front of one of the doors in the corridor.

Mina looked up and saw that there was no room number mark on the door, only a large calligraphy and painting posted on it. The characters on it were crooked and she didn't recognize any of them.

Irina saw the confusion on her face, pointed to the words on it, and explained word for word: "This is called 'Irina's room'. This is my name in front of it. You must remember it."

"Uh-huh."

Mina nodded vigorously and said in surprise: "Senior Irina, did you write this yourself?"

Irina said proudly: "Of course, it's awesome."

The little girl's eyes sparkled like stars, and she admired: "So... so awesome."

"hey-hey."

Irina pushed open the door and pulled Mina inside.

When she first entered the room, it was extremely dark inside, but with Irina holding her hand, Mina felt very at ease and wasn't even afraid of the dark anymore.

Irina walked inside skillfully in the darkness, and then she seemed to press some button, and a slight click sounded.

A glimmer of yellow-white light lit up, and Mina looked to see a crystal ball appearing on the table in front of her, from which the yellow-white light emanated.

"Mina, this is called the Star Lamp, look at it."

As soon as Irina finished speaking, yellow five-pointed stars that looked like stars flew out of the crystal ball in colorful trajectories and stopped in mid-air. Colorful stardust fell from the five-pointed stars.

Mina subconsciously reached out to catch the stardust, and the light gradually dissipated into her hands.

The girl froze in place, her mouth slightly open.

"looks great."

"Hey, I still have several of these star lanterns. They were all given to me by Nulia's mother. This one is for you."

Irina tiptoed to pick up a crystal ball and put it in the girl's arms.

Mina held the crystal ball in both hands, her face looking both happy and shy.

"Thank you, Senior Irina."

Irina laughed and said: "Next time the young master goes to visit Nulia's mother, I will take you there with me. Nulia's mother likes children. She will definitely give you a lot of gifts."

"Um……"

Seeing Mina so happy, Irina was extremely satisfied. She took the star lamp off the table and put it on the carpet. Then she climbed into bed, grabbed the quilt and jumped down to cover Mina in it.

"Senior Irina..."

The girl's voice was a little panicked.

"I am coming."

Irina got into the bed and pushed up the quilt.

Mina hugged Irina's arm tightly in the darkness. Before the fear on her face disappeared, she saw stars one after another flying out of the crystal ball and landing on the quilt.

The girl watched this scene blankly, the fear in her heart gradually faded away, replaced by a full sense of peace of mind.

"Mina, look at this."

Irina took out a book from somewhere and waved it to the girl.

"This is a book written by a fairy. It's so beautiful."

Mina said with envy: "Senior is so awesome, he actually knows a fairy."

Irina said happily: "Sister Fairy said before that she wanted to come and play with me."

"She will definitely come. Then I will introduce Mina to her. She will definitely like you very much."

With that said, Irina carefully opened the book, and some crooked and exquisite illustrations appeared in Mina's sight.

The girl held the book and leaned close to Mina. She happily showed Mina the story of "Fairy Forest". Mina couldn't read, so she read the content to her, and from time to time she would point to the illustrations. Elf, introduce their names.

Gradually, the two of them were immersed in the world of books and forgot about time.

I don't know how much time passed, but wisps of light green light gradually floated out of the books and fell on the star lamp.

But Irina and Irina were completely immersed in the books and did not notice the changes.
