Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

When Chu Ming heard this, he suddenly realized.

No wonder he suddenly had nightmares as soon as he went to sleep. It turned out that this guy, the God of Knowledge, had been making harassing phone calls to him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head, "Return to God, so incompetent."

Heather Sears saw that Chu Ming was mumbling something he couldn't understand, so she thought he was performing a special ceremony and didn't interrupt.

When Chu Ming looked up at him, the old man continued: "When I was young, the aberration plague was not as serious as it is now, and I rarely heard of powerful wizards being captured by aberrations."

"But since returning from the Northern Expedition, the development of the distortion has become more and more terrifying year by year."

Heather Sears lowered her head and lowered her eyes, "I suspect that not only His Majesty William, but also many wizards or knights have accepted the deal with the God of Knowledge. He may have offered a bargaining chip that they cannot refuse. "

Chu Ming asked: "What about you?"

The old man shook his head, "I have seen the horror of aberrations, so naturally I dare not come into contact with them, but the world never lacks curious people."

"Perhaps you should be careful, Narender, the aberrations may be lurking around."

"But the one who is more troublesome now should be the dark wizard outside the pass fortress."

After saying that, the old man slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking, and then the knight took him away.

"Does the God of Knowledge have the power to control dreams..."

This is not good news for Chu Ming. It means that as long as there are people around him who cannot bear the temptation of distorted power, they are very likely to become minions of the God of Knowledge.

But the good news is that the spiritual wizard system has a bright future and there is still a lot of room for development. The temptation of knowledge from the God of Knowledge should not be too big for the spiritual wizard, so he does not need to worry too much about the presence of undercover agents around him.

And once a normal wizard is infected with aberrant power, he will have particularly obvious symptoms.

Unless someone was suppressed with special drugs like William Stellman, they would be easily discovered.

Since there were still many things at the scene that needed to be solved by Chu Ming himself, he could only temporarily cut off his thoughts and walk towards the group of knights.

When he reached the middle of the team, Edel had already walked over with seven other earls from the north.

Chu Ming glanced at it and saw that all eight earls, including Earl Kurtz, Earl Winter, Earl Jones, Earl Dawn, Earl Brand, and Earl Madeleine, were present.

Everyone at the scene turned their attention to Chu Ming, feeling anxious and waiting for him to speak.

Chu Ming naturally knew what they were waiting for, and he said, "Tell me, how much compensation do you want?"

"ah?!"

"Narender...sir..."

The earls who had been waiting for him to speak were confused. They thought Chu Ming would reprimand them righteously, or punish them, or even take action.

did not expect……

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Everyone here is a respectable person in the north. Naturally, you know that there is a price to pay for failure."

As he spoke, his tone became much colder, "If it weren't for this special period and the need to resist the dark wizard, you would have died long ago."

"There are some of you who I rescued from the royal capital, and you dare to point your sword at me."

Earl Brand, who had been rescued by Chu Ming from the royal capital before, turned red, and finally sighed, "Sir Narender said, I accept the punishment."

Several other earls also nodded quickly and said: "If Lord Narender has any needs, just ask him."

When Chu Ming heard this, his expression softened slightly, "Three hundred top-quality crystals per person, no less than this number."

"What?!"

The poorest among them, Earl Daun, couldn't help but exclaimed.

On the contrary, Earl Winter, Earl Jones and Earl Madeleine breathed a sigh of relief.

The Severe Winter Territory where Earl Winter is located is a transportation hub in the north and has a prosperous trade capital. Three hundred top-quality crystals are not enough to hurt his bones.

Not to mention Earl Jones and Earl Madeleine. These two counties have crystal veins, and the most important thing is the best crystal.

Seeing everyone's different expressions, Chu Ming raised the corner of his mouth and continued: "From now on, the Tower of Knowledge will accept epic training services."

"The training cost for an epic only requires one hundred and eighty top quality crystals."

"What?!"

This time it was the turn of the two miners to start exclaiming.

You must know that the mineral veins in their territory have been mined for hundreds of years, and there are at least thousands of top-grade crystals left. If this is used to cultivate epic wizards, then their territory will be able to produce several more epic wizards.

Chu Ming's proposal really moved their hearts.

In addition to these two earls, several other earls also became excited.

Only the poorest one, Earl Daun, looked miserable. He was already thinking about why he wanted to follow them.

Seeing the excited expressions of the earls, Chu Ming also showed a satisfied smile.

It is naturally impossible to get these counts to hand over all the top-grade crystals obediently. Even if he robs them hard, he will not be able to find the cellars where these counts store top-grade crystals.

In this case, it is better to go with the flow and let these counts hand over the best crystals on their own.

After all, no one can refuse the temptation of an epic. Just one hundred and eighty top-quality crystals can be exchanged for an epic, which is a huge profit.

Of course, Chu Ming made even more money.

About sixty crystals can create an ultimate witchcraft staff. A transaction of one hundred and eighty top-quality crystals means that three epics will be born, one from other earls, and they can have two.

It doesn't matter if the epic power of other counts increases. The count of Coutts will always grow much more than them. There is no need to worry about what these counts will think.

Besides, what Chu Ming has in his hands is not only extreme witchcraft, but also fusion witchcraft!

As long as there are enough top-grade crystals, the number of epic two-star level wizards in their territory can grow.

It might even surpass the power of a dark wizard.

These counts were rushing behind him to drink the soup before it was too late. How could they think of any rebellion?

Another point is that the method Chu Ming plans to provide epic cultivation services to these earls is a combination of rune brand crystals and spiritual recovery equipment.

He has no plans to let the extreme rune equipment leak out yet. As long as the runes are imprinted in the spiritual sea of ​​the candidates who have received epic training, he can still use the mental recovery equipment to trigger extreme witchcraft.

It’s just that when this wizard passes away, there will be no extreme rune equipment passed down. If they want to have a new epic, they must continue to send new candidates to accept the rune brand of the wizard tower, otherwise they will not be able to use extreme witchcraft.

But this is just what Chu Ming did to stabilize the current situation.

Resting on one's laurels cannot improve the spiritual wizard system.

If one day, he eliminates the raging dark wizards and solves the aberration plague, he will naturally let go of the knowledge restrictions of spiritual wizards and let the power of spiritual wizards be promoted.

After solving the matters related to the captured earl, Chu Ming pulled Edel out and asked, "How is it? How many top-quality spiritual crystals are hidden in the royal family?"

When Edel heard this, a smile spread across his face, "I asked about the captured epics, there are more than five hundred in total."

"There are also three hundred top-quality crystals for each of the seven earls just now. Let me do the math... um..."

Edel clasped his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Chu Ming said angrily: "Don't forget it, there are more than 2,600 crystals in total."

"That's right!" Edel nodded excitedly, and then he raised his fingers again, "An epic requires sixty crystals, which can be cultivated in total..."

"Um...how much."

Edel looked at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming smiled and said: "Forty-three epics."

Edel's face was startled and emotional, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the base of his ears.

"Okay, I'll leave the matter of the crystal to you." The smile on Chu Ming's face gradually disappeared and became serious, "I still need to rush to the pass fortress to take a look."

"We are fighting fiercely here. Maybe the dark wizard sees the opportunity and has already started to attack the pass fortress."

After Edel listened, the excited expression on his face faded, and he nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm watching here, and I will ensure the safety of the territory and the Wizard Tower."

Chu Ming patted his shoulder, turned around and called Allen and the other four back.

Arun asked: "Narender, what's wrong?"

Chu Ming picked up the three staffs in his hand, "We still need to rush to the pass fortress to prevent the dark wizard from taking advantage of this time to attack the fortress."

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and their expressions became serious.

"Come on, I need to catch up on some time."

Witchcraft fluctuations appeared in Chu Ming's hands, and the demonic dragon vines sprouted up.

Chu Ming and his party walked up, and with the help of the Demon Skeleton Dragon Vine, they left the flowing water channel and rushed towards the pass fortress.

It takes more than a month to travel normally from the Earldom of Kutz to the pass fortress.

But this is only for ordinary caravans. A team of knights with extraordinary strength can shorten the journey to less than a month, and a team of extraordinary knights only needs about twenty days.

As for their epic wizard team, they could shorten the journey to about ten days without resting and rushing on with all their strength.

After they exited the water channel, they soon entered the great plains of the severe winter territory.

On the back of the dragon vine, Chu Ming is far away, and the river rushes forward and merges into the lake in the distant plain.

"Hopefully everything comes in time."

…

Ten days later.

In the pass fortress dungeon.

The orange-red firelight swayed, and only the torches on the wall illuminated the corridor. The cage was filled with darkness that even the firelight could not touch.

In a cell, whispers sounded. Claire carefully poked his head out, and the firelight illuminated his vigilant face.

After seeing that there was no one guarding him, he retracted his head and said to the two people behind him: "The guards are not here. Something happened outside. Let's escape quickly."

A wizard had a worried expression on his face, "I don't know how the situation in the territory is. It's been almost a month."

In fact, as early as a month ago, the royal family began planning to attack the Earldom of Kutz.

After they imprisoned the three Claires from the Pass Fortress in the dungeon, they spent another twenty days leading the knights to the Winter Territory to gather.

Now ten days have passed since the passage war, and the three people imprisoned have no idea what the situation outside has become.

They only know that the Pass Gate Fortress seems to have been attacked by dark wizards in the past few days. The situation in the fortress is now so urgent that it has begun to dispatch guards to guard the dungeon.

After seeing the guards disappear, the three of them planned to try to escape from the dungeon.

Without extreme rune equipment, they are still official wizards at the blue level. It is not difficult to break through the prison in front of them.

The difficult part is how to escape from the heavily guarded fortress and then tip off the territory.

However, now that the pass fortress has reached the critical moment of dispatching guards, there is no time to take care of the three of them. Now is a good opportunity to escape.

Claire stretched out his hand, and a wave of witchcraft appeared, and thorns spread from his hand and wrapped around the iron fence.

He pulled hard, and the thorns glowing with metallic light gradually tightened, and the fence made a harsh creaking sound.

After a while, the iron fence was suddenly broken, and the three people got out of it.

One of the wizards followed Claire and asked: "What about the witch knights who are still imprisoned? Should we rescue them together?"

Claire hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "We don't know what the situation is outside now. One more person will give us more strength."

The three of them walked towards the front of the dungeon and relied on their memories to find the hundreds of witch knights imprisoned inside.

After hearing the movement, the knight inside saw clearly the three wizards bathed in light.

"Lord Claire!"

The knights stood up excitedly and immediately said: "There seems to be a tide of beasts outside attacking the fortress. They don't have enough manpower. They have deployed fifty of our people to go out..."

Claire's face turned solemn when she heard this.

"Aren't there any epic wizards out there?"

The knight sighed: "Those epics have gathered in the territory. They would rather risk the fall of the fortress to deal with us."

"Damn, these idiots!"

Claire looked furious and punched the wall.

"Don't they know that dark wizards have been watching us?"

"As soon as Epic leaves the fortress, those dark wizards will definitely continue to attack the pass."

The man's chest was heaving violently, and he was obviously very angry.

However, his mind was still clear and he understood that now was not the time to vent his emotions.

The glimmer of light in his hand lit up, thorns appeared, climbed on the iron fence, and he and the other two wizards demolished all the iron fences.

"Everyone, follow me. If you encounter knights in the fortress, give priority to subduing them."

Claire quickly arrived at the dungeon door with a group of witch knights.

Just as he was about to break open the door, there was a sudden violent sound outside, and the entire fortress and the dungeon shook.

"Things don't look good."

Claire quickly opened the door and walked out.

There was no one in the dark corridor outside, and all the guards seemed to have been mobilized.

Seeing this, Claire's expression changed, and finally she gritted her teeth and said, "You go find the rune equipment, and let's go take a look at the city wall."

"If the fortress is breached, we won't be able to escape anywhere."

The knight captain nodded solemnly, and then led the knights to the helmet room.

The three of Claire also seized the time to find the lost staff.

But these three staffs have now fallen into Chu Ming's hands, and they can't find them at all.

After the wizard knights put on their equipment, they could only grit their teeth and run to the upper level of the fortress.

Everyone went up the spacious stone staircase and soon met a knight.

When the knight saw Claire and others, his face was startled and he was about to shout.

Claire's face turned cold, she grabbed him with a vine and asked angrily: "What's the situation in the fortress now?"

The knight showed a crying and anxious expression, "Lord Claire, I..."

"What time is it? Let's solve the crisis first, and we'll talk about the rest later!"

The knight woke up and said anxiously: "There is a dark wizard outside the fortress directing the beast tide to attack the fortress."

"There are already many holes in the fortress wall, and the knights have reached their limit. Maybe today..."

The knight did not continue, but his dark expression said it all.

Claire put down the knight, ignored him, and quickly led the knights up the stone stairs.

Thump thump thump! !

There was the sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of metal collision, and a bright light appeared in front of him.

Claire's spirit was shaken and she came to the city.

He looked around and saw that the knights on the wall were standing in a chaotic formation. Some knights were holding bows and arrows to attack the beast tide below, while some knights were pushing the boulders to make them roll down.

Claire walked past in a hurry, with a flash of chivalry, and murmured, "Lord Claire..."

Suddenly something seemed to occur to him. The knight's expression changed and he shouted: "No...no, how did you escape?!"

The surrounding knights turned around when they heard his shout.

It seemed that when Claire and others really came out, they were frightened into cold sweats behind their backs.

Claire shouted coldly: "Look what I'm doing, let me put your thoughts on the beast tide below."

The knights were in a daze, feeling like they had returned to the time they spent with Claire and other wizards and knights from the Earl of Coutts before they were imprisoned.

In fact, they were opposed to the imprisonment of the wizard knights from the Earl of Coutts. After spending a year with them, the three wizards of Claire had long since become the backbone of this fortress.

But these little knights often have no say and can only obey the royal family's arrangements and imprison them in the dungeon.

But because they all respected Claire and the others, they would not deliberately make things difficult for them.

Although Claire and others returned suddenly, the knights finally found support in their hearts.

Unlike these knights, Claire felt heavy inside.

Without the help of the staff, they would not be able to exert their epic power.

And without the other epics, this fortress cannot be defended at all.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it with all your strength. Otherwise, how can I explain to Mr. Narender."

He found the knight captain who was commanding here and took over the command. He shouted: "All the wizard knights, go and replace them."

After receiving the order, the witch cavalry quickly took over the work of the nearby knights.

Claire looked down the city wall.

The wilderness was filled with darkness, and dark creatures with shiny blood on their bodies roared without fear of death and rushed towards the city wall covered with black bloodstains.

Dong dong dong...

There was a constant banging sound.

But what worried him the most was not the dark creature. He moved his eyes towards the middle of the city wall and saw an epic creature under the wall that was four meters tall and covered in purple muscles, like a bull.
