Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

The boy nodded, glanced at Luticia lying on the bed, and answered honestly:

"After Her Royal Highness the Princess and I left Moonlight Lake, I originally wanted to escort her back to the Kingdom of Pashi, but Her Royal Highness insisted on following me to the place where the Divine Fire fell to find the lost Divine Fire..."

As he spoke, he had a guilty look on his face.

"I just don't know why. After going deep into the foggy area, Her Royal Highness's health became worse and worse, and she couldn't even use her divine power."

"I could only take her back to where she was, but unexpectedly I encountered the dark demon's nest that descended. If you hadn't come, teacher, both the princess and I would have died at the mouth of the dark demon."

There were tears in his eyes, and he was obviously still frightened by the desperate situation just now.

Chu Ming touched his chin, "So you are here to search for divine fire on this trip?"

"Can you tell me where the divine fire fell?"

Ana lowered his head, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took out the map that was tattered from the battle on his waist.

He unfolded the map on the bed and pointed to the southern corner.

"This is Moonlight Lake. Originally, I heard that the temperature in the area near Moonlight Lake is higher than other places. There are dwarf craftsmen who rely on earth fire to forge weapons, so I plan to come here to find divine fire."

"While Her Royal Highness the Princess was helping the dwarves solve the dangers of the Dark Demon Nest, I had also been inquiring about the divine fire. Finally, a kind-hearted old dwarf told me that his ancestors had seen the scene of the falling heavenly fire and carved it with Recorded.”

"According to the dwarf murals, the place where the divine fire fell is farther south."

The boy's fingers moved downward, passing through plains one after another, and stopped at an extremely vast and flat area.

"The old gentleman told me that after the divine fire fell into the Mist Whispering Forest, it burned away thousands of mountains and poisonous miasma forests in the south, shaping everything around it into a plain, and brought new vitality to the land. The creatures on the ground could not survive in this vast and fertile land. Farming and grazing in the plains led to the development of a very powerful kingdom, which seems to be called the Kingdom of Mist Whispers."

Chu Ming's mind moved, and he took out the map he always had on hand and placed it next to the tattered map.

From the comparison, it can be seen that the plain area Ana mentioned extends from the Clinton Kingdom in the north to the coast of Southern Xinjiang in the south, covering almost half of the atrium.

Crono, who was watching on the sidelines, couldn't help but be surprised: "The divine fire is so powerful. The span from the Clinton Kingdom to the coastal areas is too big."

Ana explained: "Mr. Crono, you misunderstood. The divine fire only landed in the Mistwhispering Forest at the beginning, but the divine fire has the characteristics of being difficult to extinguish. It spread from the Mistwhispering Forest to the surrounding areas, burning the mountains, forests and hills into Plains.”

Chu Ming pointed to the location of the Demonic Puppet Kingdom on the map, "The Mist Whispering Kingdom you mentioned should be here."

The boy lowered his head and took a closer look, then nodded hesitantly and said, "It should be here."

When Chu Ming heard this, he looked at Cronuo.

What a coincidence.

The reason why they went to Migliorini's country was for the "doll" predicted in the divination cards.

Unexpectedly, the destination of Ana and Luticia, which is the key to the "memory" of the divination cards, is also the country of Migliorini.

"Memory" and "Doll" meet in Migliorini's Country. Does this mean that the "immortal" predicted in the divination cards will also appear in Migliorini's Country?

The country of Migliorini is so lively, no wonder Trina returned to the kingdom and has been busy until now.

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming raised his head and said to the boy: "The end of the magic airship's journey is at the Kingdom of Mist Whisper you mentioned, and our destination is also there. If you don't mind, you might as well follow us there, maybe It can also help you find the divine fire.”

"Can't trouble the teacher."

Ana shook his head sensibly and said, "Teacher, I would be very happy if you could go to the Kingdom of Mist Whisper with me."

He sounded a little guilty, "I have caused Her Royal Highness the Princess to suffer from a strange disease, and I can no longer cause trouble to you, Teacher."

Chu Ming held Luticia's wrist, felt her steady pulse, and asked, "Do you know what this strange disease is and what are its symptoms?"

Ana frowned, thought hard for a while, and answered uncertainly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess once said that her power was losing, and her divine power was not obeying her command, as if some power had invaded her body."

"I haven't woken up for so long. It seems there is something wrong."

Chu Ming focused his attention on the sleeping girl. The girl's face was pale, and her long eyelashes were trembling in her closed eyes, as if she was experiencing a nightmare.

He thought for a moment, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the girl's forehead.

Growing wildly.

Rich green light burst out from the palm of his hand and penetrated into Luticia's forehead. The strong vitality revived the weak body, and the girl's cheeks regained some rosy color. Her eyelids struggled to open, but failed.

The green light dissipated, Luticia was still in a coma and had not woken up, but her expression was much softened than before.

"Wouldn't the life-blessing spell also work?"

Chu Ming murmured to himself and frowned.

"Teacher, how is it?"

Ana looked at Chu Ming nervously, not knowing where to put his hands.

"You stay away from me and I'll try again."

The boy was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know why he did this, he still said "hmm" and walked to Crono's side, looking worriedly at the girl on the bed.

"Young man, relax, you'll be fine."

Crono acted like a big brother, patting Ana on the shoulder and comforting him.

"Thank you Mr. Crono..."

Elena, who was leaning against the wall, glanced at the two of them, then shifted her gaze and fell on Chu Ming.

The woman laughed softly and said, "You don't want to use your divine power, do you?"

Chu Ming nodded and took off his gauntlet, revealing the life sacred mark on the back of his hand that exuded a faint green glow.

"Since the spell can't work, we can only rely on the divine power of life."

Elena showed a rare calm expression, "When you use the power of life, you have to accept the crimson backlash. Are you ready?"

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

After saying that, Chu Ming's attention returned to Luticia. He took a deep breath, raised his right hand, stared at it, and concentrated his energy on the sacred mark.

The sound of "bang" is like the heaven and earth opening, and the spiritual world opens the door to the mysterious realm.

In his eyes, the floor of the room, the hospital bed... were swallowed up by green light. Green vines spread from the ground to his body, entangled Luticia in the direction of his gaze, and woven and embellished the white dress with vibrant threads. green.

But before Chu Ming could make any move, his heart suddenly shook, and his vision shook to reveal a double image.

His face changed slightly, and there was unspeakable pain in his spirit, as if his body was torn into countless pieces, and every cell screamed in pain.

Maggots that were light red like tarsal bones climbed up the green vines, wrapped around his body, and gnawed at the flesh and blood.

"Hey..."

Severe pain poured into his spirit like a tide, and the stormy waves kept beating against his mental will.

"teacher!"

From the perspective of Ana and others, Chu Ming just burst out with a green light full of vitality, and then was surrounded by a rising red mist, and there was a terrifying chewing sound inside.

Before the boy could get close, he was pulled back by Crono.

He looked up and Crono shook his head, "Believe in Ren."

The boy was extremely anxious, but he was helpless in the face of this situation. He could only watch Chu Ming struggling in the red mist.

In the red mist, Chu Ming fell into a trance. He strangled his neck with his left hand, trying to wake up from the suffocating red world.

"Stigmata...help me..."

"Dang!"

The stigmata of life bloomed with dazzling light. The rich vitality was like the warm sunshine breaking through the heavy fog. The light poured into the room. The wooden bed boards and floors... suddenly came to life, and branches and buds grew. The green leaves swayed and grew, instantly The room was submerged in a sea of ​​green.

Chu Ming's eyes glowed with green vitality. Before the crimson mist enveloped her, he pressed his palm on Luticia's forehead. The majestic vitality bloomed on the girl's body. The green vines wrapped around her body bloomed into small purple flowers, and the fragrance was instantly fragrant. It lingered throughout the room and shocked everyone's spirits.

"So warm..."

The girl's brows relaxed completely, and she slowly opened her hazy starry eyes and looked at Chu Ming.

"Old...teacher?"

Her eyes trembled like clear lake water.

"Am I returning to the embrace of the Holy Tree?"

Chu Ming smiled slightly, "No, you are saved."

After saying this, the green light in his eyes slowly dissipated, and the green vines that entangled him and the girl retracted under their feet. They returned to reality from a world full of life.

Luticia blinked, and the Chu Ming in front of her became clear. Ana, Cronuo, and the others, as well as a room full of small trees and green vines, also slowly appeared.

"Ana..."

The girl struggled to support her body and sat up from the bed.

Seeing this, Ana hurriedly walked through the green leaves of the branches and walked to her.

He asked guiltily: "Your Highness, how do you feel?"

"I'm fine, thank you Ana."

Luticia took the boy unawares and hugged him into her arms.

Ana's body was stiff, and his hands had nowhere to rest. He couldn't push her away, or not push him away. He was stuck in place like a piece of wood.

When Luticia let go, the boy blushed and had forgotten what he wanted to say to apologize.

"hey-hey……"

The girl rubbed her nose and seemed very proud.

Her eyes left Ana's body and focused on Chu Ming. She took the initiative to give the man a hug and said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, teacher, for saving us."

Chu Ming rubbed her messy hair and said with a smile, "It'll be fine if you wake up. Are you feeling well?"

The girl shook her head and said, "I can no longer feel that strange power."

She rolled up her sleeves, raised her slender arms and said, "Teacher, don't worry, I'm in great shape now. I can knock down ten Anadu with one punch."

Ana stood aside with an embarrassed look on his face. He had no way to refute what Luticia said. After all, with the girl's legendary strength, as long as he recovered, he would be able to hit a hundred people, let alone ten.

He hesitated and whispered: "Your Highness Princess, why don't we return to the Kingdom of God first and stop looking for the Divine Fire?"

He was really scared, afraid of the desperate scene of facing the dark demonic tide again.

"How could this be!"

Luticia's voice suddenly rose a few pitches, her cheeks were bulging with anger, and she said unconvinced:

"If you can't find the divine fire, you won't be able to participate in the baptism of the holy tree. If you miss it, you will have to wait a hundred years later."

"But……"

Ana looked hesitant and struggled internally.

Just when the boy was in a dilemma of choice, Chu Ming suddenly smiled and said: "The place where the divine fire fell may not be as dangerous as you think. There is a prosperous kingdom there."

"Besides, isn't it me?"

"teacher……"

The boy fell into silence for a while, then he walked up to Chu Ming and hugged him.

"I don't know what I would do without you. I'm afraid that Her Highness the Princess will be hurt because of me again."

Chu Ming comforted him: "Since you call me teacher, I naturally won't sit back and ignore it."

"Wow, teacher, you are so kind."

Lutitia's eyes were full of joy. She followed Ana's example, climbed off the bed, and hugged Chu Ming's thigh.

Looking at the two pendants on Chu Ming's thigh, Milisa couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As if realizing that this behavior was too rude, the woman quickly covered her mouth.

Chu Ming patted the two of them on the head helplessly, "Okay, don't make everyone laugh."

"hey-hey……"

Luticia and the two let go of their arms.

"Your body has just recovered, so take a good rest first."

Chu Ming urged the girl to lie back on the bed, and then looked at Ana, "I'm leaving the room. Do you want to stay here or come with me?"

When Luticia heard this, she also turned her attention to the boy.

Ana hesitated for a moment and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has just recovered, and I want to stay here with her."

After hearing his answer that he wanted to stay, Luticia suddenly beamed.

"I'm a patient, Ana, you have to take good care of me."

Chu Ming gave the girl a few words of advice and came to Elena's side.

"Sister Elena, please help me take care of them."

The woman smiled and said, "I like children best."

Crono, who was next to him, couldn't help but muttered: "Aren't you just a child yourself... you always like to play pranks."

"Crono, it's not good to speak ill of others quietly."

Elena put her hands up and glanced at him.

"Ahem, anyway, I'm going to leave it to you first. Remember to let me know if anything happens."

Chu Ming said goodbye to the others and returned to the room. He sat down next to the wooden box of the puppet and unhooked the gauntlet on his left hand, revealing the crimson holy mark that emitted a faint red light.

He frowned slightly, "This thing seemed to be secretly absorbing Luticia's spiritual power just now."

"The evil sacred mark is indeed evil enough."

"Phew...but the matter has finally been resolved."

He took out the golem in the box and stared at it for a while, lost in thought.

"Only by resolving the obsession with the illusion can the illusion disappear."

"What will happen if I help Ana and Luticia find the lost divine fire? Will it disappear like before?"

Chu Ming always felt that things would not be that simple. After all, Luticia and Ana represented "memory". Once "memory" and "doll" come together, no one will know what will happen.

"We can only take one step at a time."

"First learn how to make a puppet, and then find the alchemy of the puppet's life to create a clone."

"If you learn more about golems, maybe you can figure out what the 'golem' in the divination card refers to?"

After thinking for a while, Chu Ming stretched out his right hand and took out a book from the sub-space.

Roman is probably still busy at work, now is not the time to disturb him, and there is no need for him to worry about Luticia and Ana for the time being.

Now that you have some free time, why not read a book.

He glanced at the floating fog outside the window, then lowered his head and entered the ocean of knowledge.
