Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

The knight known as Charles looked coldly at the blood and flesh splattered all over the sky.

"A bunch of losers!"

Charles, the first knight of the Mithril Blade, is also one of the few knights who can touch the deep blue level.

Originally, he was leading the Mithril Blade to track the traces of the members of the Blackstone Reverse Blade. Unexpectedly, something happened at the Brownstone Mine first, and he had to rush back.

"Lord Charles." A mithril knight rode over and cupped his hands and said, "After checking, it was indeed the hand of the Black Stone Reverse Blade."

"Only they could formulate such a thorough plan to attack the mine on the day of the banquet."

Charles comforted his mount, which was restless due to the burst of magic power, and then looked at the knight, "Where's Miller?"

"My lord, I don't know."

The knight lowered his head.

"Chasing, if so many brown stones and mithril fall into the hands of the Black Stone Reversal, it will definitely increase their arrogance and threaten the order of the kingdom."

"Send out hounds to alert the noble knights in all counties to the movements of the Black Stone Reverse Blade."

"Yes, sir."

………

Four days later.

The rain has subsided, but the clouds have not dispersed.

In Lan'er County, on the forest mountain road, raindrops dripped into the stream and flowed away. Chu Ming and his party were wearing cloaks, leading their horses, and moved forward against the wet mountain wall covered with moss.

Alice shrunk her petite body, glanced at the towering mountain wall, and reminded everyone: "Be careful, there is the nest of the forest green eagle above, don't anger them."

After everyone walked carefully for a while, the mountain road gradually opened up, and the creek rushed into a river.

Behind the girl, Chu Ming held the horse and looked forward along the stream.

At the end of the creek, near the river beach, there is a village with only a hundred people.

This village is called Black Corner Village and is located at the junction of Lan'er County and Xinya County. As long as they cross the river in front, they can reach Xinya County and go to a stronghold of Blackstone Counter Blade.

In the haze of mist and rain, smoke rose from the gray-black tile-roofed wooden house, seeming to guide Chu Ming and his party to arrive.

In the past few days, in order to avoid being tracked by the Mithril School, Chu Ming and the others have been heading into the forest, and everywhere they go is muddy and desolate.

Suddenly seeing the village, everyone couldn't help but feel shocked.

"Let's go."

Alice walked in front and led them from the path into the village.

If you want to cross the river, you have to ask the villagers in the village for help, which is inevitable.

Walking on the muddy path, everyone walked towards a few fishermen's houses near the river.

At the door of the house, all the fishing nets on the drying rack were put away because of the rain.

It was drizzling outside, and the orange firelight inside the house was faintly revealed, and subtle voices could be heard inside.

Everyone stood in front of the door. Alice in the front hesitated for a moment, stretched out her hand and stopped in mid-air.

Although she is not afraid of humans, she does not know how to communicate.

"Let me do it."

Seemingly sensing the girl's embarrassment, Chu Ming gave her a reassuring look, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Dong dong dong..."

The brown wooden door made a muffled sound, and the voices in the room stopped. After a while, there was a long creaking sound, the wooden door opened a crack, and warm light came out from the fireplace.

An old man stuck his head out from behind the door and asked cautiously: "Who are these gentlemen?"

Chu Ming took off his hood, revealing his young face that was no different from a normal person.

He smiled softly and said, "Old sir, we want to go to the other side of the river, but I don't know if we can do it conveniently."

Seeing Chu Ming's overly young face and friendly smile, the old man immediately dropped his guard and opened the door.

"Child, come in first, it's still raining outside."

"Then I'll trouble you, old man."

Chu Ming thanked him a few times and walked into the house.

Behind him, Alice and others showed a bit of strange expression on their faces, and some of them couldn't understand why the young man was so skilled.

Only the wild wolf looked calm, as if he was used to this kind of thing.

After the five people entered the house, the originally small house seemed a bit crowded.

Chu Ming looked inside. On the right side of the house, a fire was burning in the fireplace, and the kettle above was boiling and humming.

In front of the fireplace, an old woman was sitting on a chair mending a fishing net.

After seeing Chu Ming and others come in, the old woman quickly got up and took a few bowls from the closet.

"Child, come and have some hot soup."

Chu Ming glanced back at Alice and the others, then turned around and shook his head, "Thank you grandma for your kindness, but we are in a hurry and want to go to the other side of the river."

They were really in a hurry and wanted to get to Xinya County. If they went there early, they could get rid of the Mithril Knight's tracking.

As for why I don’t plan to drink soup, the main reason is that among the five people here, Chu Ming looks the most human...

It would be bad if he took off his cloak and frightened the old man.

"Is that so?"

The old man shook his head, picked up a handful of dry wood from the pile and added it to the fireplace.

"Children, you came at the wrong time. It has been raining outside for several days. The river has swollen. It's almost dark and you can't see anything clearly. I don't dare to take you with me, old man. Risk crossing the river.”

"But……"

When she heard that she couldn't cross the river, Alice showed a trace of anxiety on her face.

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Ming hurriedly stopped her and asked the old man: "Excuse me, old man, is there any spare housing here? Let's rest here for one night before leaving."

"Some, some."

The old man nodded.

"There is a room above that used to belong to my son, but it is empty now. The room is not big and needs to be squeezed in."

"I'll take you there."

The old man bent over and picked up the old lamp, walked towards the spiral staircase on the left, and motioned for Chu Ming and others to follow.

"Trouble."

Chu Ming and others followed the old man up and came to the door of a room.

The old man fumbled around his waist, took out a somewhat rusty key, and fiddled with the door lock. With a click, the door slowly opened, revealing the dark room inside.

After saying a few words to Chu Ming, the old man put down the lamp and left the room.

In the slightly dim room, several people took off their cloaks and shook themselves.

Alice hung up her cloak, looked at Chu Ming and asked depressedly, "Why didn't you let me speak just now?"

Chu Ming said helplessly: "The old gentleman is indeed right. We can't cross this river tonight. It's better to spend the night here to rest."

"All right……"

After comforting Alice, Chu Ming opened the door and prepared to go out.

"You guys rest here first, I'll go out and check the situation."

After saying that, he walked to the end of the corridor and followed the stairs to the first floor.

In front of the fireplace, the old woman was lying on a chair, as if she had fallen asleep.

The old man covered the old woman with a blanket and saw Chu Ming coming down.

"Child, what's wrong?"

"Old sir, you should know our identities."
