Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

On the booth, the old man was holding a cane, and with the support of the working puppet, he faced the puppet masters on the high platform.

"Ahem, my Excellency, Ned Zelik, there must be some people in the audience who know me, this old man."

After the old man finished speaking, warm applause came from the high platform.

"Mr. Ned, I am your idol... Bah, no, you are my idol!"

A puppet master dressed as a student blushed and shouted excitedly, which immediately aroused laughter from the puppet masters around him.

The old man chuckled and said: "Thank you for this young gentleman's love for me. I am honored to be recognized by the Magic Doll Royal Family and serve as the host of this exhibition. Let me introduce it to you first."

"Sitting in front of me are the ten golem masters who are also serving as judges this time. They are Harley Sutton, the president of the Royal Golem Academy, Marlene Holler, the instructor of the Third Golem Academy, and Yue, the manager of the Golem Alchemy Workshop. Nas Shaq, the dwarf master of the Dark Kingdom, Eugene Hretz..."

"The ten masters come from all over southern Xinjiang, with different races, different countries, and different areas of magic puppets they are good at. But they are gathered here now for the future of magic puppet technology."

"The judges will evaluate the future development direction of the puppet based on the latest research on the puppet technology in recent years, and plan the development for the next year."

“Development is always full of opportunities, and I think you don’t want to miss them.”

After the old man finished speaking, the airship was filled with excitement, and the citizens cheered loudly in anticipation.

"Okay, okay..."

Ned stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"I guess everyone can't wait, so I won't waste any more nonsense. Let me start now."

On the high platform, Trina looked sideways at Mattie.

"Mattie, let them set off the fireworks."

The girl nodded, closed her eyes, and began to mentally contact the golems scattered throughout the city.

When the lively atmosphere reached its peak, fireworks and salutes suddenly exploded into the sky.

"boom!!!"

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Flashing smoke filled the sky over the entire city, and salutes of golden flowers fell on the streets. Amidst the excitement, the first exhibit was lifted onto the stage with the help of the golem.

Several middle-aged puppet masters followed behind, with nervous expressions on their faces.

Although they were excited to be the first team to exhibit their works, they were more nervous and restrained at the booth, which was open to the citizens of the city and many puppet masters.

"Hello everyone, we are the research and development team from the Imperial Demon Puppet Academy. Our main focus is on war puppets..."

The leading man stuttered and couldn't speak clearly, but no one laughed at the scene.

Because they all know that the future of the Magic Puppet Kingdom, even the future of southern Xinjiang and the entire continent will be in the hands of these young puppet masters.

Perhaps in the future, they will take over the teacher's responsibility and become a generation of puppet masters, and then they will be more calm than they are now.

Just when the scene was about to fall into a quiet atmosphere, a shout suddenly rang out from the high platform.

"come on!"

The sudden shout couldn't help but make all the puppet masters present raise their eyebrows. When they saw that the voice was coming from a little girl, they all smiled knowingly and applauded towards the booth.

On the high platform, Chu Ming saw the same thing and looked over. When he saw that it was Luticia who made the sound, he smiled helplessly.

Trina looked at Luticia and chuckled: "Is this the memory ghost that has been following you?"

Chu Ming nodded, "Actually, I'm not sure what they are even now. Ana and Luticia were so vivid that I once forgot that they were phantoms."

"A figure from the Kingdom of God tens of thousands of years ago..."

Trina raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "It's indeed interesting."

After looking at the girl for a while, she returned her gaze to the booth.

After Luticia's interruption, the puppet master's nervousness on the stage was obviously relieved a lot. When introducing the puppet, he became very talkative, his eyebrows raised, and he became confident.

"If I remember correctly, the golem team you funded should be number 34."

Lindsey said softly: "The little guy named Mia is so lucky."

Chu Ming chuckled and said: "The demon puppet they developed is quite interesting. Senior sister, you can look forward to it."

Trina and Lindsey smiled lightly. When they came into contact with the memory network, they thought of its true use. It was just how Mia and the others would implement it that was what they were most curious about.

"Then I'll look forward to it."

…

Time passed slowly, the first one, the second one, the third one...the demon team appeared one after another.

There was nothing special about the scene except the lively noise.

Knights in the city are heavily guarded, riding flying golems to patrol the entire city according to pre-planned routes.

The Griffin Knight and the Iron Eagle Knight were patrolling at high altitudes, and there were countless legends hidden in the dark. There were legendary golems that followed the puppet masters from all over the world, and there were also many legends cultivated by the royal family...even those far away. The Fengyang Legion of the Violet Principality also intervened.

With such a dragnet set up, it is difficult to imagine how Victor will take over the entire scene and achieve his goals.

"Have Victor and the others given up?"

Chu Ming frowned slightly and looked up at the mechanical pendulum clock on the booth. It was already afternoon.

Lindsey took a sip of tea and said calmly: "If he really wanted to give up, he should have given up a few years ago."

"Today is the opening day of the Golem Exhibition. It is the most heavily guarded day in the Golem City. It is also the most chaotic and easiest time to succeed. I believe he will not let go of such a good opportunity."

Chu Ming looked up at the sky. The iron eagle flew across the sky through the blue wind. He temporarily hid his doubts in his heart.

"That's all, it's almost time to meet Mia and Roman."

He returned his attention to the stand.

After a morning's review, 20 golem works scored in the good range of seven to eight points, five golem works were rated as excellent, and two golem works even reached an astonishing score of nine or more. .

According to Trina, the quality of this year's exhibition is better than in previous years. Various new puppet technologies are gradually experiencing explosive growth, including many works with great potential.

After waiting for a while, some people came on the stage, and then others came off the stage. After the judges finished their comments, Ned Zelik was once again supported by the devil and walked onto the front stage.

The old man looked at the speech in his hand, paused, and said in surprise: "It's really rare. The team of golems that will come next is from the Burning Guild in the Knights District. They will bring us the latest memory golem technology. "

"Knights Guild?"

"Is he the legendary knight-puppet master?"

"It's really rare."

Everyone on the high platform was talking a lot. They looked curious and couldn't imagine how the knight and the golem exhibition were related.

In the knight block, the three major guild knights who were watching the sky mirror were also stunned.

"Burning Guild? Isn't this the guild where the leader of the Blood Alliance belongs?"

"It's really strange that the Burning Guild has such a powerful puppet master, and he can even attend the puppet exhibition."

Not to mention ordinary knights, even the presidents of the three major guilds looked confused when they saw this scene.

Grayson Santos, the president of the Blood Wolf Guild, murmured: "What kind of trouble is Mr. Ren going to make..."

"No...no, now is not the time to dwell on this."

The man was truly worthy of being the head of the three major guilds and the person who maintained order in the entire Knight Street. He instantly woke up.

"Brothers, get up quickly and follow me out."

A knight asked doubtfully: "President, what are we going to do?"

Grayson patted the knight's head and said, "You are stupid. This is a golem team supported by the leader of the blood alliance. Of course we must also support it vigorously. It is best if Lord Ren can see it."

"Come on, follow me out to the streets and shout for help."

"Oh, do we need to notify the other two guilds?"

The man sighed and said, "Ronnie and the others are not very economical. Maybe they have already gone out and we still need to remind them."

The knight's face tightened, "Then, President, let's leave quickly."

A few minutes later, the knights from the three major guilds in the Knights Block spontaneously walked out of the guild, raised the blood alliance flag, walked on the street, and shouted.

"The Burning Guild is mighty!"

"The knight is mighty!"

The citizens on the street who were still looking at the mirror looked surprised when they saw many knights crossing the street, and they all moved out of the way.

On the magic airship, Mattie's eyes flickered, and she reported to the three of them: "Miss, the guild knights in Knights Street are going out to parade. Do you want to stop them?"

Trina was slightly startled, "What do they want to do?"

"I heard that they are cheering for the golem team from the guild."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Chu Ming showed a dumbfounded expression. He remembered that he didn't seem to have arranged a parade.

The smile on Trina's face grew stronger, "Just let them be. If there is any accident on the street, these knights can also provide help at critical moments."

"But then I'll have to ask my junior brother to take command."

Chu Ming nodded and said: "Grayson Santos and the others really don't see any intention of threatening the security of the city, and I'm sure they are not followers of the evil god."

"If something really happens, I will call on all the knights to help."

While the two were chatting, Roman at the booth had already begun to talk about the new golem technology.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen."

Roman saluted calmly and gracefully.

"The new generation of puppet technology brought by our team is called the memory network, which can realize the conscious connection between the puppet master and the puppet..."

After the man spoke fluently for several minutes, he finally stopped and looked at everyone.

"Conscious connection? Isn't it already there?"

"It's really weird."

The puppet masters of Gaotai began to discuss.

Roman's expression remained unchanged, "Under the leadership of Ms. Mia, the memory network technology developed by our team has lower latency, a more realistic consciousness connection experience, and lower mental load..."

"Please ask Ms. Mia to explain the specific technical data and applications to us."

With the help of the golem, several metal boxes were lifted up.

"Mia, tell me."

Roman handed the initiative to Mia, who was extremely nervous behind him.

The girl nodded tremblingly, so nervous that her palms became sweaty.

"Hello everyone, I am a student from the Third Golem Academy...Mia Serrano, and also the main person in charge of the guild team. Thank you Mr. Lane for your support, allowing me to get to where I am now."

After the girl's introduction, whispers rang out from the high platform.

"A student? You are really young."

“It’s amazing that you can become a team leader at such a young age.”

"And who is the boss of Ren En? He is so generous."

"Haha, I'm not sure how Mia got to the position by some means."

"Indeed, if a big boss can help me, I can laugh out of my dreams."

After all, Mia is too young. No matter in terms of experience or other things, people can't see anything special. They also won't believe that Chu Ming chose to fund Mia just to obtain technology.

Moreover, it is a special combination of knight and puppet master.

Although there were mostly praises at the scene, there were also a lot of criticisms and malicious comments.

The comments came like a flood, which made Mia, who had no experience in dealing with it, freeze on the spot instantly, her mind went blank, and she was too scared to say anything.

The old man Ned sitting next to him frowned and was about to defend himself, but unexpectedly a faint female voice came from the high platform.

"quiet!"

The woman's voice was not loud, but it seemed to have some kind of magic power, causing all the puppet masters present to quiet down and look up at the deck above.

"It's Her Royal Highness."

"Shh, stop making noise."

"Eh? Why is there a man next to Her Royal Highness?"

Just when everyone was confused, Mia on the stage shouted in surprise.

"Mr. Lane."

Chu Ming met everyone's gaze, smiled slightly, and waved to her.

"Hiss, is he that Mr. Lane?"

The faces of some of the puppet masters present changed. A man who could follow Her Royal Highness was not something they could criticize. Everyone booed, and the entire venue became quiet for a while.

"It's Lord Ren!"

The team of knights wandering on the street saw Chu Ming appearing next to Trina and Lindsey. Their faces were delighted and they waved their flags even harder.

Trina didn't explain anything, just said: "Go on."

Crono, who was sitting on the high platform, raised his head and winked at Chu Ming. He immediately stood up, raised his hands and shouted: "Roman, I am your fan!"

"Mia, I'm your fan too!"

"come on."

As Crono finished speaking, the puppeteer on the scene couldn't help laughing, and the stagnant atmosphere became active again.

The old man Ned bowed slightly to Trina and then sat down again.

At the booth, Mia took a deep breath, as if she was inspired, and her inner nervousness eased a lot.

She calmed down, and with the help of Roman and others, she opened the metal box at her feet, revealing the densely packed, dark, insect-like demon dolls inside.

"What's this?"

"insect?"

There were expressions of confusion on the faces of the puppet masters, and only a few senior puppet masters and puppet masters realized something.

Mia said solemnly: "The memory network can connect the consciousness of the puppet master and the puppet, take over the entire body of the puppet, and control the puppet like a clone."

"But this is just one of the characteristics of the memory network. Compared with traditional consciousness connections, the memory network imposes a lower mental load on the puppet master."

"Just like I am now..."

Mia waved her hand, a faint light flickered in the metal box, a "buzzing" sound sounded, and ten steel golems that looked like bees flew out with the brilliance of magic.

"Control ten demon dolls at once?!"

There were expressions of surprise on everyone's faces.

"It's really amazing. With my epic mental power, I have no problem controlling an epic puppet, but it's very difficult to control two ordinary puppets at the same time."

"As the number of controlled golems increases, the requirements for mental power will also increase exponentially. I guess that only legendary level mental power can meet the requirements of controlling two golems at the same time. I really don't know how they solve it."

The puppet masters in the front row nodded, "This technique is indeed good."

Immediately, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Mia, and they all applauded.

The dean of the Royal Golem Academy commented: "This is an innovative technology, I give it..."

"Please wait a moment, old gentleman."

Mia stopped the old man and said with a relaxed expression: "Controlling ten demon dolls is not the upper limit of this technology."

"As long as the level of the golem is low enough, you can control the entire swarm at once like I do now."

She waved again, and this time, several metal boxes emitted a dazzling light.

An annoying "buzzing" sound sounded, and dense black shadows instantly flew out of the box, converging into a surge and flying in mid-air.

"Imagine what you would do if all I had were epic-level demons."

As soon as these words came out, the whole house was in uproar.

"What?!"

"How is this possible?!"

"I checked it with my mental power. There must be four hundred and thirty-seven black bee demons in here!"

Countless puppet masters' expressions changed and they suddenly stood up from their seats.
