Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Chu Ming returned to the City of Sauron more than a month after the Royal City incident. The royal family declined, and after the Brick family joined the cabinet, the status of the City of Sauron became higher and higher in the eyes of the knights.

Compared with when he left, the city of Sauron is even more lively now, and it is full of extraordinary people who come from foreign countries to pursue opportunities.

Dwarf knights and orcs can already be seen on the streets, and supernatural beings in the mage profession have become common.

When Chu Ming first came back, he thought he was in the wrong place, but the city of Sauron turned out to be so prosperous.

Standing on the guardrail of the attic stairs, Chu Ming could see people coming and going outside the small courtyard. The guild was back to its usual liveliness, and the maids were coming in and out frequently, making them extremely busy.

"I wonder how Miguel and the others are doing?"

Chu Ming looked at the closed doors in the knight's low building and recalled the knights who went to Migliorini's country to open up new markets.

Even if they saw the news from the Clinton Kingdom, it would take at least four months to send a letter.

Slowly walking down the knight's short building, Chu Ming wandered in the yard. A maid passed by. After seeing Chu Ming, she hurriedly came over to salute.

"Master, good morning."

Chu Ming smiled and responded, "Good morning."

The maid's cheeks were slightly red, and she lowered her head and said: "Miss Irina went to Brick Castle to visit Lord Jerome early this morning. The lady said that she would bring back your favorite magic newspaper. She will be back soon. .”

Chu Ming was stunned and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait here for a while. If you see Irina later, please tell her that I'm in the courtyard."

"Yes, Master."

The maid bowed and nodded, turned and left.

Chu Ming watched the maid go into the busy corridor. In comparison, the courtyard was extremely quiet and no busy people could be seen.

"It seems we don't have enough manpower."

Chu Ming found a chair and sat down, raised his left hand, and observed the lines on the crimson stigmata.

It was still early, so he was not in a hurry to find Elena, so he might as well wait for Elena to come back first.

Although it has been three days since he came back, he has rarely seen Irina during these three days. The girl has become a lot busier like other maids, but she seems to enjoy it.

Time passed slowly, Chu Ming held the memory crystal and looked at the memory crystal given to him by the mage conference.

To be honest, after the Stigma of Life returned to his hands, his need for healing spells became less urgent.

Even if he cannot actively use the Life Stigma, as long as his body is harmed, the Life Stigma will be automatically triggered to restore his injuries.

Although the life recovery of the Life Stigmata is not yet at the level of immortality, it can still give his epic knight body the recovery ability that only a legendary knight can have.

He has just been promoted to Epic Three-Star, and many gains have not yet been fully digested. As time goes by, his knight strength will become more and more terrifying, and it is not a problem to surpass Edel, who was known as the King of Witch Riders back then.

"Maybe I can touch the legend with epic power..."

Chu Ming was lost in thought and didn't feel anyone walking into the courtyard until a voice called out and brought his consciousness back to reality.

"Master, it's so heavy."

Irina and her little follower Mina crept over holding a wooden box that was taller than their bodies.

Chu Ming chuckled and took down the wooden box they were holding.

"Aren't you going to visit Uncle Jerome? Why did you come back with so many things?"

"call."

Irina wiped the sweat from her forehead and hugged the big box on the ground proudly.

"Uncle Jerome said that sisters Trina and Maddie sent letters from the country of Migliorini and sent us some things by the way."

"This big box is mine, and the small box is yours."

Irina put the big box in Mina's hand, and then held the small box on the ground to Chu Ming.

Chu Ming took the box and did not open it immediately, but asked: "It has only been more than a month since the incident in the kingdom. This letter arrived so quickly. Could it be that it was specially sent by the Griffin Knight?"

Irina shook her head in confusion, "Sister Trina seems to be very busy. Uncle Jerome said that she asked the postman of the Magic Newspaper to deliver the letters and gifts."

The girl said distressedly: "Jerome said that the postal service is so expensive that he can even buy a nice house in the city."

"The Magic Newspaper Office still has a postman?"

Chu Ming stroked the wooden box and recalled the magic newspaper in Jerome's hand. His relationship with the magic newspaper seemed not to be simple.

Irina pouted and said regretfully: "I originally wanted to bring back a copy of your favorite magic newspaper for the young master, but Uncle Jerome was too stingy. Huh, he refused to give one copy. He also said, there is none. What news is worth watching to put your mind at ease?”

Chu Ming touched his chin, "As long as nothing happened, how is his health now?"

Irina wondered: "Irina thinks Uncle Jerome is just as lazy as before. There is no difference."

"Oh no, it seems like there's more eye pus."

Chu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and rubbed the heads of the two little ones.

"Excuse me, go play, I'll have something to do later."

Irina nodded happily and said: "The fairy sisters are coming back soon. Mina and I promised to play games together."

"Then young master, I'll leave first."

"Go ahead and have fun."

"Well, thank you, Master."

The little maid Mina nodded with red cheeks and was led by Irina to the room.

After the two left, the courtyard became quiet again. Chu Ming looked at the ordinary-looking wooden box in his hand. After opening it, he saw a lacquered letter and a shriveled seed lying quietly on the fluffy pine.

Chu Ming looked a little confused and picked up the shriveled seed.

【Withered Seed of Life】

[Quality: Purple☆☆☆]

[Note: The shriveled seeds contain amazing life force. 】

"Seed of Life?"

Chu Ming put down the shriveled seeds, opened the paint, and took out the letter inside.

After reading the contents, he looked astonished.

This shriveled seed and the core of the Green Staff of Life given to him by Senior Sister Trina turned out to be from the same source, both coming from the Tree of Life in the Fengyang Empire.

The woman first asked about his situation and the situation in Clinton Kingdom in the letter, and then congratulated him on his breakthrough to epic level as a mage.

It seemed that she felt that the green staff of life she had given her before could no longer keep up with Chu Ming's pace, so she specially mailed a life seed to replace the core of the green staff of life.

"Senior sister is really considerate...and she is really rich."

Chu Ming sighed, feeling a lot closer to this senior sister whom he had not seen for a long time.

He picked up the second piece of letter paper and continued to read. The handwriting on the letter became more delicate and fine, as if it was written by another person.

Chu Ming recognized that this was Mattie's handwriting. The girl expressed her feelings of missing her in the letter, and invited him and Irina to go to the Kingdom of Migliorini to participate in the kingdom's annual Golem Festival.

The Golem Festival, the most solemn festival in the country of Migliorini, is held on a specific date every year. The royal family will invite golem masters to the royal capital to showcase the latest golem technology.

For the citizens of the Golem Kingdom who are obsessed with golem technology, nothing is more important than obtaining the qualification to watch the golem exhibition.

Mattie also mentioned in the letter that she included two golden coupons for the exhibition in the letter she sent, which she bought with her own savings. She hoped that he and Irina would like them.

"Golden ticket?"

Chu Ming shook the envelope, and sure enough, two golden and light long tickets with exquisite patterns printed on them fell out of it.

He held the Golden Voucher, which felt cold and delicate, like a work of art in his hand, and recalled Mattie's description of the Golden Voucher when he was still in the Violet Principality.

Difficult to grab, expensive, hard currency... are all its characteristics, and according to the girl, as long as you take the golden ticket to the country of Migliorini, you will be considered a distinguished guest no matter which city you go to.

This is not just a ticket, but a status symbol.

Chu Ming carefully put the gold coupon back into the box, picked up the letter and continued reading.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ren, please forgive me for taking the initiative and sending the golden coupons like this. The lady said that you and Irina may not have time to come, so I didn't prepare the golden coupons."

"Actually, I know that although the lady doesn't say it, she still wants to save face. She thinks that the golden coupon represents the importance she attaches to you, and she plans to wait until the Griffin Knight is free before sending it to you."

"I thought I would give you a gold coupon without authorization, which may have caused you trouble. I'm very sorry."

"If you are not free, I will send you a new golden coupon next year, so there is no need to worry."

"Oh, by the way, I have arranged accommodation for the knights you sent to the capital. With the lady here, you can rest assured about the safety of the knights."

At the end of the letter, Mattie rambled on about her daily life with Trina, which just filled the entire page.

"Huh... going to the country of Migliorini?"

Chu Ming leaned on the chair and started thinking.

"It seems that I haven't traveled far for a long time. I have been staying in the Clinton Kingdom in the past few years. I have acquired the epic knight inheritance and have almost mastered the family secrets. If I continue to stay in the kingdom, my progress will only become smaller and smaller."

After the royal family was resolved, the Clinton Kingdom became extremely stable, and no one could pose a threat to the Brick family.

To be honest, it's really time for him to leave Clinton Kingdom.

Looking at the golden coupon in his hand, Chu Ming murmured: "Why don't you go to Migliorini's country to have a look?"

"My memory doll project should also be put on the agenda. If I can really use memory doll technology to create a clone, it will bring unprecedented changes to me."

Thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards Elena's room.

Crono and Elena's rooms were separated by a wall. While asking about Elena's crimson stigmata, he could also tell Crono about his plan to go to the country of Migliorini.

Putting the shriveled life seeds and precious golden coupons into the hidden lining pocket, Chu Ming walked into the corridor and walked to the two-story building at the end.

After going up to the second floor, Chu Ming found Elena's room and was about to knock on the door. Unexpectedly, Elena's voice suddenly came from Crono's room, and the two seemed to be quarreling.

"Wrong, this step was wrong."

"It's still wrong."

"Why are you so stupid?"

"You are stupid. I am a genius mage."

"Haha, it's just you..."

"..."

Chu Ming laughed dumbly, walked to Crono's door and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

Just after being ridiculed by Elena, Crono shouted in displeasure and stepped on the wooden board with his feet making a "thump, thump, thump..." sound.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "It's me, Renn."

"Ren?"

Crono pushed the door open and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you say you wanted to have a good rest these days? Why did you come to me?"

Chu Ming shrugged helplessly, "Actually, at the beginning, I planned to come to see Senior Sister Elena."

Crono shouted exaggeratedly: "If you don't go to your brother to find something, why do you go to this bad-tempered witch?"

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Of course, I also have something to ask you."

"That's pretty much it."

Crono nodded with satisfaction and invited him up.

Chu Ming looked into the room. Next to the table filled with potion bottles and alchemy books, Elena occupied the only chair and looked at the books in her hands without raising her head.

"If I guess correctly, you should be here for the stigma."

The woman didn't even raise her head to understand his purpose.

Chu Ming nodded and opened his sleeves in front of Crono, revealing the sacred mark on the back of his hand.

"Is this... a stigmata?!"

Crono shouted in surprise.

"Ren, are you favored by the gods?"

Before Chu Ming could answer, Elena closed the book and sneered: "Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world, isn't it just a stigmata?"

Crono snorted: "That's a stigmata. I bet even the mages in the Violet King City have never seen it."

Chu Ming shook his head helplessly and looked at the woman.

"My mage meditation speed has been extremely efficient in the past few days, and I have broken through to the second epic star. I have never encountered such a situation. Is this stigma working secretly?"

"What?!"

Crono's eyes suddenly widened. He was still struggling at the first level of Epic. He didn't expect that Chu Ming would surpass him so quickly and reach the second level of Epic.

"Shut up and don't steal my words."

Elena glared at him and looked at the sacred mark on the back of Chu Ming's hand with a playful expression.

"You probably don't understand Crimson's characteristics."

Chu Ming nodded. He only knew that the life force had an effect on the crimson force. He didn't know about the other things.

Elena thought and said: "The teacher said that this new power seems to have the ability to plunder the souls of the dead and turn them into spiritual power."

The woman's eyes were full of meaning, "With so many legends dead in the royal city, a small part of their souls should have been plundered by the stigmata in your hands."

"Plunder souls..."

Chu Ming froze on the spot.

Everything seems to make sense. He has been meditating very fast in recent days because of the help of the Crimson Stigmata.

Crono hesitated and said: "Increasing strength is a good thing, but this is too weird. If there are any side effects..."

Elena chuckled and said, "I can't control this."

"So far, I don't feel any discomfort."

Chu Ming shook his head and continued to discuss the possibility of the stigmata ability with Elena.

Ten minutes later, the topic ended, and Chu Ming remembered another purpose of coming here.

He asked Crono, who was reading a book on the side: "I plan to go to Migliorini's country for a while. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay, okay."

Crono put down his book and was overjoyed. He spent the entire day in the guild practicing or cultivating, and he couldn't stay any longer.

Elena glanced at Chu Ming thoughtfully, and said slowly: "I advise you not to go there."
