Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

After everyone recovered, Chu Ming assembled the cavalry team.

He glanced at the knights, "You have done a good job this time, but you are not proficient in the use of power, let's go, this experience is not over yet."

All the knights said yes, and followed Chu Ming to go deeper into the middle zone.

Three days later, on the edge of the core area.

Chu Ming waved his arm, with the burning will wrapped around his arm, he just lifted the dark creature whose head was like a gargoyle and pinched it, and the monster screamed and was burnt into blackened stones by the power of the scorching sun.

Throwing the monster to the ground, the golden flame subsided and returned to the knight.

Chu Ming picked out some useful dark materials from the stones and handed them to Miguel who was beside him.

Nathan stepped forward and said, "Commander, our dry food and water are almost exhausted."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Then go back, the purpose of this experience has been achieved, there is no point in staying here any longer."

During these three days, Chu Ming led the Knights wandering deep in the middle area, beheaded an unknown number of dark creatures, and even encountered many looting knights who wanted to attack them. The result was naturally not good. Well, either it has been turned into the fertilizer of the grassland, or it has been arrested and brought to the knight's jury for trial.

After so many battles, the knights gradually became familiar with the new power, and the tacit understanding between each other also improved a lot.

The specific manifestation is that when Chu Ming mobilized the burning will, this special willpower was more tenacious and powerful than entering the dark place.

After the knights packed up the spoils on the ground, Chu Ming took out the map and observed with Mirissa for a while, and after finding out the location, he led the knights to the camp where they traveled.

Four hours later, at twelve noon, Chu Ming and his party walked out of the dark place.

The warm sunshine fell on everyone, and the knights shouted comfortably.

Usually they don't think the sun is so precious, but in the oppressive dark place, without seeing the sun all day long, the bronze skin on their bodies has turned white a lot.

Now that they finally saw the sun, everyone couldn't help but burst into joy.

Compared with the knights, Chu Ming's face is flat, without much emotion on his face. He has simply stayed in the dark place for a long time and is used to it. He will not be surprised when he sees the sun like the knights. .

Mirissa at the side glanced at Chu Ming with a strange look on her face.

She and the previous knight team had the same reaction when they came out of the dark place for the first time, and they felt extra joy to be bathed in the sun.

But she didn't expect Chu Ming's reaction to be so... calm, as if he had gotten used to it.

Combined with Chu Ming's sophistication in dealing with dark creatures in the past few days, Mirissa wondered if he had often been in and out of the dark land when he was in the Violet Principality.

……

Not long after going out, the crowd soon encountered a knight jury patrolling nearby. After showing the knight their clan emblem, Chu Ming and the others returned to the camp.

Noisy shouts came from the camp. People in different clothes walked back and forth in the camp. Some knights scolded each other with the merchants who bought the materials, and were dissatisfied with the lower prices of the materials purchased by the merchants.

Chu Mingchao said to the knight behind him: "Go find a reliable vendor and sell the materials you have harvested in the past few days, and divide up the gold coins you get."

Miguel and the others grinned, thanked them, and walked towards the dense tent area of ​​the camp with the cloth bag hanging on their belt.

Mirissa left because of something, leaving Chu Ming alone. He stretched himself, and then wandered around the camp leisurely for a while, buying some alchemy potions that could be used during training.

Before he could continue his stroll, a familiar figure approached.

"Ren?"

The man's tone was pleasantly surprised, and he quickly walked towards Chu Ming.

Chu Ming turned around and looked at the man in surprise, "Krono, why are you here?"

"Didn't you go to visit Agnes, what happened?"

Kronor coughed lightly, with a look of displeasure on his face, "I went and came back again, but that woman Agnes is simply unreasonable."

"After I went, she insisted on dragging me into a mage duel with her students..."

Chu Ming asked curiously, "So you won?"

Crono's face became even more embarrassed, "I lost..."

"It's just that that guy is too shameless, my spell can't hit her at all, damn it."

Thinking of the battle, Kronor's face turned red with anger.

Chu Ming asked strangely, "Then why are you here?"

Krono said with a headache: "Agris's students are unreasonable shrews like her, didn't I just lose a game, this woman comes to the guild every day to humiliate me, so that everyone knows that I can't beat her gone."

"She always provokes me and asks me to continue the duel with her. I'm not stupid, so I won't seek abuse. So I temporarily left the city of Sauron to avoid the limelight."

The man said, and looked at Chu Ming with pitiful help-seeking eyes, "Ren, you have to decide for me, this woman is too arrogant, why don't you help me teach her a lesson."

After hearing this, Chu Ming's face turned dark. It was too late for him to avoid Agnes. Wouldn't it be asking for trouble if he delivered it to her door in person?

Without even thinking about it, he refused, "Krono, you'd better solve it yourself, I can't protect myself."

As he spoke, he gloated and said, "Besides, this must be a good thing for you, and it just spurs you to practice."

When Krono heard this, he wanted to cry but didn't have any tears, so he put his arm on Chu Ming's shoulder and said, "I really can't beat that woman."

"Also, Lady Agnes is not as fierce as you said, but I think Senior is quite kind."

Chu Ming paused, and asked in surprise, "Didn't she say anything about you being a Violet mage?"

Kronor waved his hand and said, "I see, those guys who said that Ms. Agnes has a bad attitude towards the mages from the Violet Principality must be talking nonsense. Maybe they have never seen Ms. Agris."

After hearing what Krono said, Chu Ming fell into deep thought. If Agnes was really not hostile to Mage Violet, then her inexplicable concern for herself was not the concern of the elders for the juniors, not what he thought before , Agnes wants to deal with him.

In any case, Chu Ming has no intention of contacting Agnes. As for Kronor... he can only ask for blessings, it's just a humiliation, just bear it, and if it doesn't work, he can practice hard and defeat the that nasty woman.

Chu Ming shook his head, "Krono, why don't you go back to Reran Kingdom and stay here again, I'm afraid your reputation will be worse than the beggars on the street."

"No."

Krono suddenly stared, and he said angrily: "I'm not reconciled if I don't defeat that woman. It doesn't look like I'm guilty if I run away now."

"When I defeat her, I must slap her ass hard, and then ask the artist to help me draw her shameful expression, and hang it in the hall, so that everyone can laugh at her."

After Crono finished speaking, he showed a complacent look.

Just as Chu Ming was about to speak, he saw a woman with long black hair and a shawl in a white robe walking towards him. She was staring at Crono with amber eyes that seemed to be a half-smile.

"Crono, are you really going to do this?"

"of course……"

Krono was halfway through his words, and suddenly got stuck in his throat. His eyes focused on the woman, his pupils shrank slightly, and the magic lines on his body lit up quickly, and he fled outside without turning his head.

Before leaving, he still yelled to remind Chu Ming, "Ren, run, don't be caught by this witch."

The woman stood there, her eyes narrowed slightly, becoming more and more dangerous.

Just as she was about to raise her hand to release the spell, the golden magic pattern spread in the air like a tree branch, preventing the woman from moving.

Chu Ming said indifferently: "This is the outpost camp of the Dark Land, if you cast spells here, aren't you afraid of provoking the Thunder Knight?"

Although he said that he would not help Crono, when he saw Crono's behavior like a mouse running away, he still couldn't help but make a move.

The magic light in the woman's palm disappeared, and her eyes flickered. She carefully observed the golden magic pattern spreading in the air, apparently not paying attention to Chu Ming's threat.

Chu Ming frowned slightly, his muscles relaxed, and the golden magic lines retreated to his body, hidden in his skin.

The woman came back to her senses, smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Ren, aren't you the Knight of Cloud Thunder?"

"Excuse me for being rude, and allow me to introduce you. My name is Elena Babrin, and I am the most proud student of Teacher Agnes."

Chu Ming raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to do here?"

Elena bowed slightly to Chu Ming politely, "As you saw just now, I'm here to find Krono."

"However, it is Elena's honor to meet Mr. Ryan here. Why don't you visit Teacher Agnes with me now, she has missed you for a long time."

Chu Ming's heart sank, feeling that he was cheated by Krono.

Looking at the faint smile on Elena's face in front of him, he felt full of malice rushing towards his face.

He finally understood why Krono was so nervous seeing this woman.

This smile is clearly three points mocking, seven points knife, who can resist this.

Seeing that Chu Ming did not respond for a long time, the woman's tone became pitiful, "Mr. Lane, if you refuse, I will report the truth to Teacher Agnes. I think she will understand you."

To threaten Agnes, Chu Ming cursed inwardly.

His face remained unchanged, showing a faint smile, "I have admired Lady Agris for a long time, so naturally I will not refuse."

Elena has already come to her door, meeting with Agnes is unavoidable, so it's better to agree to it openly, as timidity will make people look down upon her.

Elena seemed to have guessed Chu Ming's reaction, she bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, don't worry, Mr. Agnes just wants to discuss with you about magic, and has no other meaning."

Chu Ming was speechless. Why not go to other legendary mages to discuss spells? Why find him a mage who has not even reached the epic level?

No matter how much he complained in his heart, he smiled politely on the surface: "After today's matter is resolved, tomorrow I will go to the Knight Council to visit Lord Agnes. The people here are messy. Miss Elena, you are here alone I'm afraid it won't be safe, why don't you follow me back to the city of Sauron first."

Elena chuckled lightly, and refused: "No need, I'm here to look for Krono, since he ran away, I should go back."

"However, Mr. Ryan, when you go to the Knight Council tomorrow, please bring Kronor with you. Mrs. Agnes also misses him a little bit."

Chu Ming smiled and nodded, and said inwardly: "Krono, you are right about one thing, this woman is really after you, I wish you good luck."

He silently prayed for Crono in his heart.

The woman bid farewell to Chu Ming, turned and left, and left the camp without looking back.

After a long time, when the knights all returned, Krono also quietly followed.

Kronor hid behind Miguel and took a look. He was relieved when he didn't see Elena nearby.

He came to Chu Ming and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did that witch make things difficult for you?"

Chu Ming glanced at him, and said angrily, "Krono, why didn't I realize that you ran away so fast before, and you left me here alone."

Kronor blushed and said awkwardly: "I was going crazy from being tortured by this woman, so I ran away subconsciously..."

"By the way, what did she tell you?"

Chu Ming stared at the guilty Krono, and said with a half-smile: "Tomorrow, you and I will go to the Knights Council again, and I will visit Agnes."

Kronor let out a bewildered "ah" and whispered, "Can I not go?"

Chu Ming sneered and said, "They asked you to go by name, do you dare not go?"

"I...Of course I...will go."

In the middle of Krono's speech, the anger that had just been built up was vented all of a sudden, showing a bitter face.

Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "I'll find you in your room tomorrow, don't run away."

"Isn't it?"

Crono nodded helplessly.

After chatting with Krono, Chu Ming went to the stables of the camp to get the war horses that were fostered here, and led the knights back to the mercenary guild.

As soon as Chu Ming came back, after washing his body, he returned to the room, holding the silver and white clan emblem in his hand, and disappeared directly in place.

Underground room.

Walking to the forest corridor, Chu Ming thought of Jerome who had been missing for a long time.

He asked Vincent and other clansmen, but no one knew where Jerome had gone, let alone what he was going to do.

Chu Ming couldn't help but shook his head, he was used to Jerome's mysterious appearance, but since Jerome didn't say anything, he didn't have the idea of ​​inquiring.

Walking to the end of the forest corridor, a fork entrance appeared in front of Chu Ming. To the left was to go to the training area, and to the right was the passage to the next floor.

He is definitely not qualified to enter the next level, and he came here just to obtain a new method of esoteric truth.

Calculating the time, Vincent should have recorded his and Milissa's contributions in the documents of the knight jury, so it's not too early to come here.

Chu Ming walked down the stairs, the light from the crystal stone above his head was soft, the green vines climbed in from the forest corridor, and the purple flowers bloomed, exuding a fragrance, adding a bit of vitality to the corridor.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming came to the end of the corridor - in front of a simple wooden door.
