Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 357 Give Life
"When seeing a stranger in the camp, the Griffin King is likely to have an overreaction, so Mr. Renne will try to avoid the nest where the Griffin King is, otherwise I'm afraid it will do something impulsive."

An apology appeared on the man's face.

Chu Ming nodded in response, "I understand, thank you Mr. Argon."

In fact, he was very interested in the so-called Griffin King.

After all, a long time ago, what he practiced was the secret method called griffin, which was taught by an old man who guarded an abandoned library and was among the trolls.

It is worth exploring who is better at using the power of wind, the Knight of Niho and the gryphon who practice the secret technique of the gryphon.

But what is more important at the moment is to complete the alchemy of life for the doll. Exploring the power of the griffon is not the main thing.

"Ren, let's go."

Trina picked up Chu Ming, who was stunned, and led him forward into a lair similar to a canyon.

Chu Ming looked towards the cliff. There was a faint roar of ferocious eagles above, the Qinggang air flow swirled, flying sand and rocks, and a griffon knight riding a griffin landed on the edge of the nest.

Argon followed a few people and reminded Ren: "The largest lair on the left front is the old place of the Griffin King. Now only the Griffin King is guarding there alone."

"Because it has a violent personality, no trainers dare to approach it yet."

Chu Ming followed Argon's gaze and saw a huge, dark cave on the rock wall that seemed to be able to swallow everything. With a few loud "dong dong" sounds, he saw a huge eagle head emerging from the nest. Poke out.

Then there are the huge eagle wings, the majestic lion body, the sharp eagle claws... Its hair is shiny.There is a faint cyan flowing wind lingering.

The body of the Griffin King was more than a circle larger than that of an ordinary griffon. His strong and powerful limbs stepped on the rock, and the eagle's claws were clenched, and the stone was crushed into powder.

It scanned the crowd with its sharp eagle eyes, and its eyes rested on Chu Ming.

"Brutal!"

The Griffin King made a threatening cry, his chest rose and fell, and he heard a "coo" sound.

"Brutal!"

As if in response to the Griffin King's heir, countless griffins chirped in response to the cry in many nests. Almost half of the griffins walked out of the nests and stared at Chu Ming with sharp eyes.

"not good!"

Argon's face changed slightly.

"The Griffin King is a threat. It does not welcome strangers into its territory."

Chu Ming secretly said: "It's troublesome."

His muscles were tense, and he was always alert to the movement of griffins around the lair. As soon as a griffin attacked him, he could explode instantly.

Trina stared at the Griffin King on the rock wall and waved her hand: "Wait a moment, there seems to be something new."

On the rock wall, the Griffin King's sharp gaze gradually softened as he stared at Chu Ming, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. It felt the natural aura in this man, which made it unable to be hostile.

"Woooo..."

The Griffin King made a low whimpering sound like a wild beast cub, as if he was apologizing to Chu Ming.

Then it turned around and walked into the nest, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After the Griffin King left, the griffons that were wandering around returned to their lairs one after another, and the entire canyon became extremely quiet for a while.

This was the first time Argon encountered such a situation. He wondered: "Why did the Griffin King retreat suddenly?"

Chu Ming looked at the direction in which the Griffin King was leaving, and his mind moved as he recalled the blessing given to him by Fenghua. The power of the blessing made natural creatures naturally favor him, which naturally dispelled the Griffin King's hostility towards him. .

However, he did not say anything about his blessing. He just smiled and said: "Maybe the Griffin King thinks that I am not a bad person."

Argon couldn't figure out why this happened, but he didn't continue to struggle. He just thought it was an accident and sent Chu Ming and others to the tower.

Trina turned back and saluted: "Please, Knight Argon and other knights, please stay here for a while until the alchemy is completed."

Argon patted his chest hard and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I guarantee that not a single fly will come in."

Trina smiled and nodded, pressing her palms against the two giant doors in front of the tower.

The light flowed out from the palm of the hand and spread to the whole body of the giant door along the direction of the array. With a loud bang, the giant door slowly opened, and the light poured into the tower, making the originally dark corridor brighter.

It was at this time that Chu Ming also saw the layout of the tower clearly.

Walking in from the huge door, a solid wooden corridor leads directly to the huge supporting wooden pillar in the center of the tower.

There are many rooms in the tower, but there are no living people inside. Only the work golems are busy moving around inside tirelessly. Some are cleaning the dust on the wooden boards, and some are wiping the windows and doors...

Chu Ming walked in the corridor, bypassing the working puppets, and came to the spacious hall in the center of the tower with Trina.

On the huge wooden pillars that support the entire tower, the solid wood stairs spiral upward. Looking up, you can't see the end. If you just climb up like this, you don't know how much time it will take.

I saw Trina pressing her palms on the wooden pillar, and the entire wooden pillar seemed to come alive, with lines flowing on its body, and thick branches and leaves growing out of the smooth pillar.

A large green leaf that could carry several people fell to the ground. Trina lifted up her skirt and stepped on it.

"Junior brother, come here quickly."

Chu Ming followed Trina's footsteps and stepped on the leaves with Lindsey.

As soon as his feet landed on the leaf, he noticed that the seemingly smooth and shiny leaf under his feet was actually very hard, with many rough ridges on the surface. No matter how he walked on it, the thick leaf veins could hold him steadily. It held up without any shaking.

Trina waved her arms, and green leaves fell from the branches and floated upward.

The spiral staircase in front of them kept changing, and Chu Ming also saw different scenery on each floor, such as a library-like floor full of books and bookshelves, and an experiment full of experimental equipment and an unusually spacious space. room.

Each floor had a different scene. The only thing that was the same was that he didn't see anyone in this tower. It was almost full of working demons and some very strange-looking special-purpose demons.

The entire stargazing tower is like a private property, and no other people are allowed to enter it.

And he seemed to be someone else.

"arrive."

The swaying light gradually stabilized in Chu Ming's eyes, and the crystal chandelier above the top of the tower emitted soft natural light.

The three of them stepped up the stairs again and opened the last door on the top of the tower.

Sunlight poured in, and a huge telescope appeared in the room. It was like a giant eye observing the sky. The complex mechanical structure on it allowed it to flexibly rotate along its orbit and observe the southeast, northwest, and northwest at will.

Lindsey walked inside and pressed the button on the wall skillfully.

With a "click", the steel dome was completely opened, allowing more sunlight to shine in.

Trina chuckled and said, "Today is a nice sunny day. Maybe the success rate of alchemy can be improved a lot."

"Junior brother, please wait here for a while. The equipment here still needs to be debugged."

After the woman finished speaking, she walked towards the telescope, which was as huge as a gun. She took off the metal mask on it, revealing a detailed list of array patterns inside.

Lindsey was not idle either. As soon as she entered the observatory, she took out several bottles of potions and some sealed clay pots from nowhere, and was constantly trying out the alchemical solutions.Chu Ming was getting more and more excited. He took out the demon puppet Andrew from the subspace, and started to make preparations according to Lindsey's instructions.

Ten minutes later, Trina stretched her waist and sighed softly, finally checking all the facilities.

The woman tipped her shoes to the patterned metal floor, and ripples spread out from the metal floor.

"Junior brother, put the puppet here in the middle."

Chu Ming nodded, picked up the unactivated devil and placed it in the middle of the floor. Above the devil was a telescope diagonally facing him.

Trina said with a serious expression: "Although I have said it countless times a few days ago, I still have to remind you again now."

"The alchemy of puppet life requires the cooperation of the memory master and the puppet."

"After the alchemy begins, the gaze of the gods will fall on you. Even if you fail, don't act rashly. After all, you and the devil are facing the test of the gods. If an accident occurs, Lindsey and I may not be able to save you. .”

"Even if you successfully pass the test of the gods and let the devil gain a new life given by the gods, as long as the memory does not have the qualifications of a hero, the alchemy is very likely to fail, so please be mentally prepared."

The woman consoled her: "Keep a normal mind. It is normal for alchemy to fail."

Chu Ming chuckled, "I understand, senior sister."

Trina patted his shoulder and said, "When you are ready, sit next to the devil. The alchemy will start at any time."

Chu Ming took a deep breath, and at Trina's signal, he sat down in a circle outlined by the array pattern. The lines of the circle went straight in the same direction as the demon lying calmly in the center, helping him and the demon to establish a relationship. Some kind of connection.

Lindsey carefully poured the magic-guiding solution in the clay pot onto the metal floor. The dark red lines on it emitted a faint light, gradually turning from red to green, exuding a fresh breath.

"Junior brother, drink this bottle of special anesthetic, and it will allow you to enter the blur of the boundary between life and death. Only there can you get a glimpse of the Kingdom of Life."

Lyndsy said with concern: "Everything is done with safety as the top priority. If anything goes wrong, exit the ceremony immediately."

"Thank you, sister."

Chu Ming opened the cork of the medicine and drank the entire bottle of anesthetic without hesitation.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, quickly entered a meditative state with the help of anesthetic, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Inside the observatory, Trina looked at each other. She stood outside the magic circle with her hands clasped together, chanting words that were difficult to hear.

If Chu Ming was still awake at this time, he would have discovered that the woman's low voice did not sound like the accent from Southern Xinjiang, but more like that from the Fengyang Empire.

Under the woman's prayer, the green light on the array became more intense, and with a "buzz" sound, green grass grew and green vines climbed. In just an instant, the observatory became full of life.

It was as if they were in nature at this moment, surrounded by green shade and fragrant grass. As they breathed, the fragrance of moist earth and flowers... came to their nostrils, making them feel happy.

The magic circle emitted an even more dazzling light, and green vines grew and climbed up Chu Ming's body, connecting him to the demon doll.

After the ceremony reached this point, Trina stopped singing, and she and Lindsey stared at the figure in the middle of the magic circle.

Trina asked softly: "Do you think junior brother can succeed?"

Lindsey shook her head, "I don't know."

"I don't know what the test of the gods will be like. It seems that the memory of that demon doll is difficult to be recognized by the doll's life."

Trina smiled and said: "You think there is little hope, so you still have to help him make the magic doll and perform the puppet life alchemy."

Lindsey said with a cold face: "If you fail, you fail. This demon doll is my gift to my junior brother."

……

In a blur, Chu Ming felt like he was swimming in the dark sea like a fish.

He had forgotten what he was going to do, he just followed the feeling in his heart and moved forward tirelessly.

I don’t know how much time passed, but red water plants that looked like blood floating appeared in the dark sea water. They seemed to be conscious, tightly wrapped around Chu Ming, and pulled him down to the deep seabed.

But he didn't realize it. He just followed his instinct and walked forward, not realizing that he was being dragged into the depths.

In the observatory, in just the past ten seconds, Chu Ming had undergone new changes.

The divine power of life that Trina and I expected did not arrive. A trace of red mist floated out from the crimson mark on the back of Chu Ming's left hand and lingered around his body for a long time.

"not good."

Trina's face became solemn, and she looked down at the strange red lines on the back of Chu Ming's left hand.

Lindsey said expressionlessly: "This is the evil sacred mark."

Trina bit her silver teeth lightly, "Now is not the time to dwell on this. The ceremony must be interrupted, otherwise he will be dragged into the dark swamp."

Lindsey nodded and stretched out her right hand, a faint light emitting from her palm.

But before the two of them could take action, an even greater life force erupted from the magic circle.

The green grass grows wildly, the ancient trees cast their shadows down, and the green lake hangs in the sky... Countless life phenomena come and go, and the cycle is endless.

The rich vitality enveloped Chu Ming's body and swallowed up every trace of blood mist.

At this time, Trina and the two came back to their senses, and their eyes fell on the lines on the back of Chu Ming's right hand that exuded vitality.

"Is this... life... stigmata?"

Trina was stunned, and her heart was extremely shocked.

For a time, the woman's mind was full of thoughts, and countless events were intertwined.

She suddenly understood why Chu Ming's mage talent suddenly increased to the legendary level after returning from Thorn Flower County.

It turns out that all this is because of the stigmata of life...

Lindsey was confused: "Why junior brother?"

Trina's eyes flickered slightly, and long-standing memories came to mind.

Just when the two of them fell into silence, the ceremony took a new turn. The life force gathered together and continued to climb, and actually condensed into a giant tree.

The breeze blows, the leaves rustle, and a mysterious and mysterious power that seems to contain endless life descends on the observatory.

"He passed the divine test!"

Trina and the two were shocked and relaxed slightly, but they did not dare to move their eyes away and kept focusing on Chu Ming.

The giant tree is still growing, with colorful and extremely gorgeous flowers blooming on it, just like the legendary sacred tree, which condenses the power of the gods. The flowers bloom and fall, and the green fruits gradually become fuller, emitting a faint divine light. .

Suddenly, a divine fruit fell straight from the tree without making any sound, and just fell into the demon doll's body silently.

"Buzz!"

Green light bloomed from the demon doll, and life was bred from inside.
