Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 11
The next morning.

Chu Ming came to the stable early, where he saw Baron Harold who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"You came."

The man patted Chu Ming's shoulder and got on his horse.

"No matter what happens these days, don't be surprised, don't ask."

"After one month, set off for the capital immediately, you don't belong here."

Chu Ming nodded silently, but on the surface he obeyed his heart, but he had another idea.

Obviously, judging from the huge number of real relics and crazy knights wandering in the wilderness, crazy knights may have already spread throughout the entire Lawton Kingdom, not just in Black Snake Town.

In other words, even if he goes to the capital, the probability of encountering a crazy knight is not small.

If he didn't figure it out before he set off, everything would have to start all over again after he went to the capital, and it would be even more difficult to find the truth.

"I hope I can gain something from other knights..."

Chu Ming rode on the black horse and followed Baron Harold to the border of the forest.

On the road, horses galloped past, bringing green waves.

After the arrival of summer, the black and green wheat in the wheat fields on both sides of the road has already pulled out the ears of wheat.

The forest in the distance gradually became lively, and with enough blood to eat, the frequency of dark creatures invading the town gradually decreased.

And because of the decrease in incidents of dark creatures stepping on the field, the growth of wheat is gratifying.

Seeing that this year will be a bumper year, the Black Snake Knights dare not relax, and still insist on going into the forest every day to clean up dark creatures.

Chu Ming also planned to take advantage of the cleaning time to observe the Cavaliers.

Ten minutes later, Chu Ming and Baron Harold arrived at the assembly point.

Several knights had been waiting for a long time at the scene.

"Good morning, Lord Baron, Master Andrew."

Hunter Knight Jon, who had previously informed Chu Ming of the magic herbal medicine, greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Mr. Jon, are you the first to arrive again?"

Chu Ming tied the black horse to the stump and walked towards Jon with a smile.

Hunter Knight Jon said cheerfully: "It's good to be here early, I just want to exercise more with my old bones, and try to kill a few more dark creatures today."

Looking at the old man's kind face, Chu Ming's tense nerves relaxed a little.

But when he got close to Jon, his perception was triggered suddenly, his mind trembled, and his body tensed up involuntarily.

A deadly breath rushed towards his face like a needle prick, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

This made Chu Ming take a few steps back.

"Master, are you okay?"

Sensing Chu Ming's strangeness, Jon asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'm going to say hello to the other knights."

Chu Ming restrained his expression, shook his head, walked away from Jon, and walked towards several other knights present.

Not far away, Harold sat cross-legged on the ground and quietly watched Chu Ming's actions without stopping him.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming returned to the original place, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

Sure enough, as he expected, all the knights present had been transformed into dark creatures.

"Has even Old Jon, who hates dark creatures the most, fallen into darkness..."

Chu Ming thought about it carefully, then immediately shook his head.

"Perhaps the knights like Jon are different from Baron Harold. They don't know that they have been transformed."

"Otherwise, with Old Jon's usual performance, I should really give him an Best Actor Award."

It's useless to think too much, just try it out.

Chu Ming restrained his perception instinct and came to the hunter knight Jon again.

Next to Jon, the newly arrived Knight Gehai was telling everyone about his experience in training rookie knights, laughing at their stupid performance.

"Master Andrew, good morning."

Seeing Chu Ming coming, Ge Hai's eyes lit up, and he shook hands with Chu Ming enthusiastically.

Chu Ming kept a smile on his face, and complained in his heart: "I didn't expect you to be a ghost with thick eyebrows and big eyes."

"Master, do you want to eat it? This is a cake made by my wife. It's delicious."

Ge Hai smiled and opened the sackcloth in his hand, and handed over the baked rough bread.

"Thank you, I won't eat."

Chu Ming declined his kindness, greeted the knights sitting together, and sat next to Old Jon.

"Mr. Jon, you said before that you were a hunter, right?"

"Yes, young master, can I help you with anything?" Jon asked doubtfully.

"Sorry, I'm here to expose your scars."

Chu Ming muttered a sentence in his heart, then faced Old Qiao En directly, and secretly observed the expression on his face.

"I heard that the hunting team was disbanded because of dark creatures, and your friend also..."

"..."

Facing Chu Ming's question, Jon was silent for a while, and said in a low voice:

"That's right, back then we ventured into the forest in winter to hunt snow deer."

"As a result, the hunting team was attacked by dark creatures. They fled and died. If I hadn't been treated in time, maybe I would have never been able to get out of the forest like them."

With that said, Jon unbuttoned his breastplate, revealing his wrinkled skin.

On his body, a huge scratch stretched from his chest to his stomach, unexpectedly half a meter long.

"This is the wound the animal left on me."

"If I had the skills of a knight at that time, maybe I could solve it, and they wouldn't have to die." The old man blamed himself.

Chu Ming drooped his eyelids and apologized, "I'm sorry, but I brought up your sadness. It's not your fault."

Seeing Jon's not fake performance, he affirmed the fact that these knights didn't know that they had become dark creatures.

After reaching this conclusion, Chu Ming didn't feel the joy of unraveling the answer in his heart, only a little sadness.

Old Jon, Ge Hai and other knights were trapped by dark creatures all their lives. After becoming knights, they fought against dark creatures for a lifetime. Unexpectedly, in the end, they turned into what they hated the most.

If they knew the truth, how would they react?

Chu Ming sighed. Sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness. If you think too much, troubles will follow.

He didn't tell everyone the truth, he chose to hide it.

Ten minutes later, looking at the Black Snake Cavaliers that had all arrived and started to assemble, Chu Ming used the Black Snake Sense to walk around the team.

After returning to the middle of the team, his heart was very heavy.

The knights of the entire knight team have been transformed into dark creatures, and even the few new knights have not escaped the fate of being transformed.

No wonder Baron Harold wanted to drive him to school in the capital.

In this case, if one day he is transformed, he may not know it himself.

"Only a month away."

Chu Ming clenched his fists.

"I'd like to see who's up to it."

Thinking, he followed the Cavaliers into the forest.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the foreign world.

In the past few days, Chu Ming went out early and returned late. In the morning, he entered the forest with the Cavaliers to clean up the dark creatures, and in the afternoon he returned to Black Snake Town to investigate secretly.

Unfortunately, except for the knight who was transformed into a dark creature, he didn't find any unusual people or things in the town.

For a whole week, nothing.

"It stands to reason that I have searched the entire Black Snake Town, not even a single mouse was spared. How could there be no results..."

"Is he hiding in some farmhouse or hunter's lodge?"

On the training ground, Chu Ming swung his long sword over and over again, slashing depression on the stakes.

For a long time, there has always been a haze of crisis lingering in his heart, making him uneasy.

After a while, he suddenly noticed that the knights who were training around him looked anxious and walked out one after another.

"What happened?"

Chu Ming asked one of the knights.

The knight looked nervous and said: "I heard that the knight team was attacked by dark creatures, and some knights were injured."

"Even the baron..."

Chu Ming was taken aback, and immediately rode on the black horse and rushed to the border of the forest.
