Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Chapter 363 The scale monster reappears

Chu Ming and Chu Ming didn't speak, but Luticia already knew the answer.

"Blame me……"

She curled up her legs in self-reproach, her toes twitched restlessly, and her expression was extremely gloomy.

Seeing her look like this, Ana was touched in her heart, so she knelt down half-kneeling on the ground, lowered her head and said: "If it weren't for the help of Her Royal Highness, Ana would have been killed by the dark monster long ago if he had gone to find the divine fire by himself. .”

"Besides, I have obtained the secret method to a new realm from my teacher. Even if I do not obtain divine power, I still hope to reach the legend with my own power."

Luticia bit her lip lightly and whispered: "It's different... As long as we haven't atone for our sins, the Pakhi people will not recognize us..."

Ana slowly raised his head, he seemed to have matured a lot at this moment.

"It doesn't matter to me what others think. I will continue to follow the teacher's path. Even if the Kingdom of God collapses and the sacred tree collapses, I will protect Her Royal Highness the Princess forever."

Luticia laughed through tears, sniffed, and said coyly: "When did you talk so nicely?"

Ana said with a straight face: "Your Highness, Ana is serious."

Luticia shyly pulled the quilt over her head, and made a dull sound with a bit of joy inside.

"Okay, okay, I understand..."

Chu Ming listened quietly to the two chatting on the side. When there was no movement, he said, "When are you going to leave the Demon City?"

Today, tens of thousands of years later, the Kingdom of God has long since collapsed, everything has disappeared, and a new country has been born on the site of the Kingdom of Pashi - the Principality of Violet.

This land is undergoing the tribulation of the evil god, with bloody whirlpools and ashes-like remains of the sacred tree...

If the key to the root of the Holy Tree in Luticia's hand can work, then where will they go, near the remains of the Holy Tree?

In fact, Chu Ming's original idea was to wait for Ana to find the divine fire and observe the changes in the two of them.

He did not expect that the entity born in his memory would also violate its original intention and give up its purpose.

But he doesn't intend to interfere in any way. Generally speaking, the memory entity is just moving along the path of history, and giving up may be what will happen in the past.

And to be honest, after spending a long time with the two young disciples and seeing their lives alive, it was difficult for him to regard them as lifeless shadows.

So he chose to respect Ana and Luticia's opinions.

Lutitia poked her head out from the quilt and looked at Chu Ming, and said pitifully: "Teacher, do you want to drive me away?"

Chu Ming smiled and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Go back to the Kingdom of God and have a good rest first. When you get better, come down and play with me."

"oh……"

Luticia was reluctant. If it weren't for the strange disease, she really didn't want to go back, and the divine fire hadn't been found yet.

"Don't be willful, just listen to Ana for once."

"Um."

The girl nodded obediently, held it in her hands, green light flashed, and a green branch grew from her fingertips.

"This is the key to the roots of the Holy Tree. Let's find an open place to welcome the roots of the Holy Tree."

Luticia struggled to sit up, and Ana said worriedly: "Your Highness, your body..."

"Don't worry, I'm not some frail guy."

Luticia patted her chest and showed off enough momentum, but in the end, the more she spoke, the less confident she became.

"Anyway, I'm already fine."

She climbed up from the bed and walked to the spacious open space of the courtyard with Ana's help.

Chu Ming covered his eyes with his hands and looked up at the bright sun.

The weather is clear and cloudless today. It is hard to imagine what it would be like if the roots of the sacred tree descended over the city.

Luticia came to the middle of the small courtyard, she put the branch down on the ground, and a magical scene happened.

The branches emitted an emerald green light, and roots suddenly grew deep into the soil. They straightened up firmly and continued to expand and grow. In the blink of an eye, they grew from a branch to tens of meters high, and they continued to climb upwards.

Several people looked up at the towering tree. It seemed to have no end, with no end in sight.

Luticia looked at the tree tightly and waited for a while, with a look of astonishment appearing on her face.

"how so……"

Chu Ming looked down and asked, "What's wrong?"

The girl looked a little pale and murmured: "I can't hear the call of the holy tree anymore, it's like it no longer exists."

Chu Ming's eyes flickered and comforted him: "Perhaps this area is special and blocks your perception?"

Luticia calmed down a little and said, "It's possible."

"But if we can't hear the call of the holy tree, the roots of the holy tree can't fall, and Ana and I can't go back for the time being."

Ana opened his mouth and said nervously: "Your Highness, what should we do?"

Luticia put her hands on her hips and hummed: "Ana is so stupid. What should I do? Of course I should continue to look for the divine fire. I finally got a clue."

Ana whispered: "But I have made up my mind not to look for divine fire."

"If you don't look for it, I'll look for it, hum."

The girl was about to walk outside angrily.

Ana looked panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her back, "I can just go find it myself. Your Highness, please rest well in the courtyard."

Luticia immediately disagreed, "It's so dangerous outside. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."

At this time, Chu Ming smiled and spoke.

"Now that we have a clue, it doesn't matter if I accompany Ana. Maybe we can find the divine fire soon."

Luticia was stunned and said with some reluctance: "The teacher has said so, so okay."

"Come back early, I'm bored in the house alone."

Ana nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will try my best to be back before tonight."

"Okay, go back and have a good rest. See you tonight."

Chu Ming picked up the girl, put her back on the bed in the room, and covered her with a quilt.

Ana waved and said: "Good afternoon, Your Highness Princess."

"Ana, teacher, good afternoon..."

As soon as Luticia touched the bed, sleepiness swept through her mind. She opened her mouth and yawned slightly, then fell asleep.

Chu Ming glanced at the sleeping girl, took Ana out of the room, and carefully closed the door.

He and Ana started chatting while walking outside.

"What traces of divine fire are you talking about, and where were they found?"

Ana collected his thoughts and said seriously: "I heard from the elders of the clan before that the divine fire is both a fire of destruction that can burn everything, and a fire of resurrection that can bring new life and arouse vitality."

"The divine fire will burn all objects that come into contact with it. But at the same time, it will also leave the hope of resurrection in the wreckage of the objects, just like when winter passes, spring will always come, and in the end everything will glow with new life."

The boy said embarrassedly: "These words were all memorized when the elders taught me. I can't say such reasonable words myself."

"This morning, when I accompanied Her Royal Highness the Princess to search for divine fire on the streets, she found a demon doll walking on the street that seemed to have the aura of resurrection. Originally we wanted to follow it, but Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly fainted. .”

"I ran back in a hurry and didn't pay attention to where the devil went."

"That street is outside the Knights Street. It seems to be called Highbill Street."

"Highbill Street?"

Chu Ming held up his chin and said: "Haibir Street is in the southern part of the city, quite far from the Knights Street. Even if you take a carriage, it will take about an hour to get there. How did you get there so far?"

After asking, he waved his hand and gave some instructions to the passing servant, asking her to arrange the carriage for the trip.

After Chu Ming and the maid finished chatting, Ana hurriedly explained: "Luticia and I have been to many places in the Demon City. Today is our first time going to the South District. Unexpectedly, not long after we entered, Found traces of divine fire.”

"It seems that this southern district is not simple."

Chu Ming thought briefly and took out the armor and sword from the subspace. With the help of a group of knights, he put on the thick magic-forbidden armor.

"Let's go."

The two of them got on the carriage. The knight in front twitched the reins. The horse made a chirp and stepped forward. The iron hoofs stepped on the stone bricks, making a "clack" sound.

An hour later, the carriage passed through streets of different styles one after another, passing docks, parks, manors... and finally arrived at Haibier Street in the South District.

After getting off the carriage. Chu Ming immediately observed the entire street.

"Dong dong dong..."

This is a street that specializes in the business of recycling scrap golems. The noisy noise and the sound of blacksmithing echoed in his ears. The red-hot molten iron was picked up by the blacksmith from the hot furnace, and the colors of dusk reflected on the street. On the ground, there are bustling crowds, humans, dwarves and golems are busy coming and going here.

After the blacksmiths in these blacksmith shops melt the discarded golems, they will burn them into lower-quality metal castings with a lot of impurities and buy them to nearby scrap golem shops to make golems for sale.

The golems on the streets of Haibier look much uglier than the new and expensive golems. They only have a gray-brown metal skin with rust on them, and they seem to have been rarely cared for.

Their advantage is that they are cheap enough, and they also have all the functions that a working golem should have. However, their disadvantage is that the quality is too low to be used in combat and can only be used for repetitive mechanical work.

Chu Ming looked back and asked Ana beside him: "Where is the devil you mentioned?"

"I am searching."

Ana scratched his head in confusion and walked into the crowded street, passing by workers who smelled of sweat.

The two of them searched the street for a few minutes. Suddenly Ana stopped and looked at the blacksmith shop not far away.

Chu Ming followed his gaze and saw that in the blacksmith shop, a dwarf craftsman was talking to a brand-new demon doll.

This scene is very common in the streets of Haibier, but it caught Ana's eyes.

The boy swallowed, squeezed to Chu Ming's side, and whispered: "That's right, that's it."

"Luticia said it has the aura of resurrection from divine fire."

Chu Ming stared at the demon doll, and his mental perception spread instantly.

As expected, this demon does have an aura that is different from other demons, and it seems to be more energetic than other demons.

"Teacher, what should we do?"

"Go up and grab it?"

Chu Ming shook his head and said: "The traces of divine fire cannot appear suddenly. It is possible that this demon puppet has been in contact with divine fire, so it has traces of divine fire on its body."

"This low-level devil is not intelligent. Even if we catch it, we won't be able to find any clues."

"It's better to continue to observe. Maybe we can find clues to the divine fire in its trajectory."

"Um."

Ana calmed down and her chaotic heart became much calmer.

The two of them came to a street stall, imitating other puppet masters who were looking for parts, squatting down, pretending to pick the parts disassembled from abandoned puppets, and then quietly glanced at the demon not far away with the corner of their eyes. I.

A few minutes later, the golem put the bag filled with gold coins down on the table, and then let the dwarf tie the metal casting to his body.

Seeing that the demon was about to leave the blacksmith shop, Chu and Ming stood up and followed.

The demon walked with heavy steps through one blacksmith shop after another, and came to an area with magic puppet shops on both sides.

Compared with the bustling blacksmith shop, the flow of people in this area was much smaller. Without the obstruction of the crowd, the devil still walked quickly even though he was carrying heavy objects, and soon turned into an alley.

"Follow me."

Chu Ming and Ana walked into the alley quickly and happened to see the magic doll disappearing into the dilapidated magic doll shop at the end of the alley.

Ana wondered: "Is the divine fire in this shop?"

This was different from what he had thought before. He originally thought that there would be an area burning forever around the divine fire, or some kind of scorching place, but he did not expect that the clues would be hidden in a seemingly ordinary shabby golem shop.

"You'll know if you go in and take a look."

"Be careful. If there is any danger, retreat as soon as possible."

Chu Ming warned that although the magic doll shop ahead may not be dangerous, it is better to be prepared.

"Okay, teacher."

Ana straightened his body and placed his palm on the hilt of the sword, ready to unsheath it at any time.

After seeing that the boy was ready, Chu Ming's expression remained as usual and his steps were neither slow nor hasty.

He stood in front of the door and knocked on the closed shop door like a knight-in-waiting to a merchant who came here to order a golem.

"Boss, are you open today? The master asked me to come to your place to order a batch of goods."

After saying that, the store was quiet and there was no movement.

But at this moment, Chu Ming felt a warning in his heart and smelled a hint of danger.

"boom!"

The next second, a big hole opened in the wooden door, and an arm covered with golden scales grabbed Chu Ming's abdomen with such force that it seemed to smash his breastplate and pierce his flesh.

Chu Ming had quick hands and eyes, and was already prepared. He quickly grabbed the monster's wrist and swung it out.

"Bang!"

The wooden door completely exploded, and a monster with golden scales all over its body and a thick tail was slammed to the ground. The floor tiles were shattered, and the monster turned into a puddle of minced meat.

Even so, the monster was not completely dead. Its muscles squirmed and its scales climbed, and it quickly recovered.

Chu Ming frowned slightly, grabbed the throat of the golden-scaled monster, and allowed it to struggle. His palm was as if it were made of steel and could not be shaken.

He looked carefully and saw that the monster was wearing tattered robes. Before he turned into a monster, he seemed to be a puppet master.

"I didn't expect that the same golden-scaled monster as the one in Thorn Flower County would appear in the Demonic City. Has the evil god's power penetrated in..."

Chu Ming murmured to himself, his face becoming solemn.

"Teacher, be careful!"

Ana's exclamation suddenly sounded, and the lightning exploded. He couldn't bear the huge force and flew out upside down.

Chu Ming looked behind him and saw another golden-scaled monster appearing in the shop.

But what was different from the one in his hand was that the golden-scaled monster behind him was stronger. Its tail hit the floor tiles, and the floor tiles immediately exploded.

Its eyes sparkled with wisdom, and its eyes were cold-blooded and cruel.
