Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

"Thank you, teacher."

Although he didn't get the answer, the boy felt a little more relieved.

The two chatted for a while, and as the time got later and later, Ana stood up to say goodbye.

After watching Ana leave, Chu Ming focused on himself again.

In the more than a month since he went to the country of Migliorini, his level has not changed. On the contrary, his understanding of the arcana has deepened a lot.

The lightning armor proficiency has been upgraded to the advanced level, and the rapid piercing spear has also been upgraded to the intermediate level.

However, he still hasn't figured out the Thunder Dragon Sparrow Body, which is known as the ultimate esoteric method.

He finally understood why only two people in the entire family had successfully practiced this secret method. This secret method was clearly describing an image with words, which made the words extremely abstract. It is estimated that except for the ancestor himself, everyone else was very fond of it. incomprehensible.

"It seems that I can only ask the Magic Newspaper Agency to help me find the video of the Thunder Dragon Bird flying."

Chu Ming pinched the lavender crystal, his lips moved.

……

Noon the next day.

Because he had made an agreement with the student named Mia to discuss investment in golem research at the guild, he sent his servant to wait at the door early in the morning.

But what was disappointing was that until noon, when the scorching sun was high in the sky, the servant still did not see the girl.

The servant returned to the guild and told Chu Ming the news. His expression was calm, and he just asked the servant to wait in the hall.

After saying that, he turned around and returned to the small courtyard.

In the afternoon, the servant came to the courtyard with the panting and sweaty Mia.

When the girl saw Chu Ming with a calm face in the courtyard, she looked panicked and immediately bent down to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lane, I...I'm lost."

Chu Ming stood up and looked at the servant beside him.

The servant replied: "When Miss Mia came, I saw the knights of the Sea Lion Guild following her."

Mia told me what happened today, "This is my first time in the Knights' District. Several knights on the road knew that I was going to burn the guild, and enthusiastically showed me the way. I thought they were good people... "

The girl spoke softer and softer, with a hint of grievance in her tone.

"I understand."

Chu Ming waved to the girl.

"Come inside with me."

"Miss Lucy, get the hot tea ready."

"Yes, my lord."

The maid nodded and hurried away.

Chu Ming walked into the house with the anxious Mia and sat down on the sofa in the hall.

The girl glanced at Chu Ming, shrunk like a deer and asked carefully: "Sir, have you forgive me?"

Chu Ming laughed and said, "I never blamed you, so how can I say I forgive you."

"It's the Sea Lion Guild..."

He spoke calmly, "It seems unclear who is the real owner of this neighborhood."

"Don't worry, I will send knights to escort you to the guild in the future."

Mia breathed a sigh of relief, and she carefully pulled out a drawing from her back, "Sir, this is the drawing of the Memory Doll clone..."

Before she could unfold the drawings, Chu Ming stretched out his hand to hold the girl down. He chuckled lightly, let go under the girl's puzzled gaze, and took the teacup handed over by the maid who walked into the house.

"Miss Mia, the value of your research lies in this drawing. I only need to take a glance at it and write down all the contents on it. In this way, even I can figure out the so-called memory network."

The girl was startled, but then relaxed again.

"Thank you Mr. Lane for the reminder."

Chu Ming smiled and shook his head: "You just trust strangers too easily. Some people can even turn their backs instantly after getting the benefits they want. Be careful."

Mia nodded and straightened her posture.

"Mr. Lane, do you have any ideas about memory network research?"

Chu Ming took a sip of black tea and looked at the girl, "Same as yesterday, I only ask for sharing of profits and finished product results."

"As soon as you're okay with it, we can start discussing your request."

Mia's face lit up, "Can I also make a request?"

Chu Ming shook his head. These students from the Golem Academy are indeed valuable talents, but they are still canaries living in a cage, which is too simple.

However, Chu Ming does not hate simple students. On the contrary, he likes their frankness.

He rolled his eyes at the girl, "We are negotiating an agreement, and we are not asking you to be my slave. Didn't your teacher tell you anything in advance?"

The girl muttered: "The teacher said, she said that you come from a famous family and are a distinguished guest of the court, so you will not lie."

Chu Ming said helplessly: "Tell me your request."

"Let me think."

Mia twirled her fingers happily, unable to hide her happy mood.

Although she was often praised by her instructors in the academy, this was the first time that she was so valued by strangers and was a distinguished guest with a golden ticket.

Mia estimated the price of the materials needed to make the magic doll. She glanced at Chu Ming secretly, seemed to have made a lot of determination, mustered up her courage, and whispered in a low voice: "Give me five... five gold coins of research and development funds?"

The girl's tone was humble, fearing to scare Chu Ming.

Chu Ming shook his head and moved his lips. Just as he was about to speak, Mia thought he was going to refuse, so she opened her mouth in panic and said, "Three...three gold coins are fine."

"Is it a little too much..."

"No, you misunderstood me."

Chu Ming showed a dumbfounded expression. This was the first time he saw someone else bargaining for himself, and the price got lower and lower.

"Miss Mia, what I mean is that your research is very precious, and five gold coins are too few."

"Too...too little?"

The girl was stunned.

"How much will Mr. Lane give?"

Chu Ming said with a relaxed expression: "How about one thousand gold coins, as the first phase of research and development funds."

"One thousand gold coins?!"

The girl suddenly took in a breath of cold air, feeling dizzy from the sudden happiness. It took a while before she recovered.She quickly waved her hand and said, "Mr. Renn, it won't cost that much."

"If you invest a thousand gold coins, it will be very difficult to get back your money."

Chu Ming smiled. He had never thought about getting his money back. He had to spend more than twenty gold coins to deposit and withdraw the magic newspaper's secondary space. The five gold coins the girl said were too few. The guild's fund reserves were hundreds of thousands of gold coins. , he can easily afford even a thousand gold coins.If he can use some less important resources in exchange for better knowledge of golem technology, it will be a profit for him.

"You don't need to worry about getting your money back. In addition to financial support, I will also build a puppet laboratory and invite full-time puppet masters to provide you with technical guidance. The only thing you have to do is to develop a better memory for me. Demon clone."

"Instructor of a full-time puppet master..."

Mia was completely dizzy and couldn't recover for a while.

Is it serious to ask a full-time puppet master to assist her in developing the puppets?

She said coquettishly: "Mr. Lei... Ren, the professional puppet masters may look down on my puppet making skills..."

Chu Ming chuckled and said: "This is not a problem you need to worry about. A full-time puppet master... There are so many puppets in this city, there are always some smart ones. Besides, I can invite friends to come and help."

Thinking of the full-time puppet master, Chu Ming immediately thought of Roman who was still in the magic airship.

Based on his understanding of this friend, Roman is definitely not the kind of arrogant puppet master. As long as he can see the technology of the puppet clone, he will definitely understand the value of this technology.

Mia couldn't help but grin and giggle. She had financial support, an exclusive puppet laboratory and guidance from a full-time puppet master. Is this the Kingdom of God, or is she just dreaming.

However, Chu Ming valued her so much, which also made her feel more stressed.

The girl quickly calmed down her expression and said seriously: "Don't worry, Mr. Lane, I will definitely work hard on research. As long as I enter the laboratory, I will not come out until the research is completed."

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Don't be so exaggerated. If you don't have any objections, then let's start drawing up an agreement."

He took out the agreement that had been printed long ago in the magic printing shop, and discussed with the girl the issues of sharing and ownership of the copyright of the drawings.

"Take this agreement back and show it to your teacher. If you don't have any objections, sign it and come to me tomorrow. I will ask the regular puppet master to come and meet you in advance."

"Thank you, Mr. Lane."

Mia followed Chu Ming out to the guild door with the agreement in her arms with a face full of joy.

"Be careful on the road. I have arranged for the knight to take you back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a carriage with the logo of the Burning Knights stopped in the square.

"Go."

Chu Ming patted the girl on the shoulder.

"Mr. Lane, see you tomorrow."

Mia frowned, waved goodbye to Chu Ming, and got into the carriage.

After watching the girl leave, Chu Ming walked into the guild and found Miguel who was busy.

"I need to build a high-standard golem laboratory in the guild. What are your ideas?"

Miguel's expression changed, he scratched his head and said: "Since the leader needs it, I will send someone to visit those magic craftsmen tonight."

Chu Ming nodded and said: "There is no need to save. The faster the laboratory can be renovated, the better. Money is not an issue."

"Understood, Captain!"

Miguel beat his chest with his right hand, looking serious.

"Then I'll go now..."

Before the man could leave, Chu Ming stopped him.

"Give this letter to Mr. Roman in the magic airship for me. He will understand after reading it. In addition, I need you to find some trustworthy senior puppet masters for me, so I want to carry out a puppet experiment. Validating new technologies.”

"Yes. Commander!"

……

The next morning.

As soon as Chu Ming went downstairs, he saw a lively scene in the small courtyard. Under the command of the craftsmen, the knight moved in the wood panels needed to renovate the laboratory.

Crono walked out of the building on the left with dark circles under his eyes, yawning, and complained: "Ren, what are you doing? I wanted to have a good sleep."

Chu Ming glanced at him, "When did you come back?"

"Last night, Elena, the witch, took me shopping for two days. My legs were almost numb, and I didn't know what she was buying."

Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "A puppet laboratory is going to be built here, it will be very noisy these days, you may not be able to sleep."

"No."

Crono waved his hand unhappily. He leaned close to Chu Ming's ear and asked in a low voice: "By the way, where are those two illusions? Have they disappeared?"

Chu understood and said, "Lutesia and Ana went out with Milissa early this morning."

"The guest I'm waiting for is coming soon, you'd better find an empty room to sleep in."

After leaving the small courtyard, Chu Ming walked into a conference room provided by the guild for the affiliated knights to rest. It was extremely quiet and no one disturbed it. It was a good place to discuss matters.

He hadn't sat in the conference room for a while when there was a knock on the door. Mia opened the door and walked in.

The girl greeted her cheerfully: "Good morning, Mr. Lane."

Chu Ming smiled and responded, "Good morning."

"Please take a look at the agreement. The teacher read it for me yesterday. She thought there was no problem. I have already signed it."

After taking the agreement, Chu Ming took a careful look.

At this time, the door was knocked again, and a man wearing a simple robe walked in.

Chu Ming raised his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Roman, we meet again."

The man also smiled and said, "After I saw your letter, I asked for leave from the teacher and rushed over immediately."

As he spoke, his eyes moved and fell on Mia.

"Is this the student you wrote about in your letter?"

Mia saluted nervously: "Hello, Mr. Roman."

If she guessed correctly, the man in front of her should be the professional magician friend Chu Ming mentioned.

When she thought of this, she suddenly felt a lot nervous and her thoughts were confused.

Seeing her nervous look, Roman couldn't help but laugh, "Miss Mia seems to be too nervous, and I'm not a bad person."

"Feel sorry."

Mia lowered her head.

"Okay, Roman, Mia, sit down, I need to hear what you think."

Roman stopped smiling, sat down on the chair, and his expression became serious.

"Ren, as you said, this is a technology with great potential."

"By building a memory network and setting up different permissions, one person can control one memory puppet, or even multiple puppets."

"You can imagine that one person can control several of the epic puppets under the Iron Eagle Knight, and the mental load can be reduced to a minimum. Then the puppet master will be able to exert even more terrifying power."

Chu Ming blurted out: "A hive drone controlled by thoughts?"

"Hive Drone, what is that?"

Roman looked confused, but he did not continue to struggle. He just praised: "It's really good to use a honeycomb to describe it."

"Judging from the memory network theory, as long as the level of the puppets is low enough, it is not a problem for an epic mage to control tens of thousands of puppets. A huge number of puppets are indeed as intimidating as a swarm."

He fixed his eyes, looked at Chu Ming and Mia, and said in a slightly excited tone: "I think as long as the memory network technology continues to iterate, we have a chance to be on the puppet exhibition."
