Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 124 Strange Marin, Correspondence
Chu Ming opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, the girl ran away.

Isabel waved to him from a distance: "Goodbye Mr. Wizard, goodbye Polly."

Chu Ming stroked his cheek, the corners of his mouth raised inexplicably, and waved to the girl.

The owl stared at the girl and hooted.

"Cuckoo..."

Standing there for a while, when Chu Ming saw that Isabel finished talking with the pastor, and the pastor excitedly led her into the church, he turned around and walked into the street with Polly.

"Hey, I still haven't figured out what happened to Alice, and I messed with Isabel again."

Chu Ming sighed while walking.

"Cuckoo?"

Poli turned her head to look at Chu Ming.

"Ahem, Polly, such is the fate."

……

After seeing the girl off, it took Chu Ming five days to rush back to the dark forest where the wizard tower was.

The reason it took so long was because he lost his way and took the wrong route, which wasted a lot of time.

However, it has to be said that the Fengyang Empire's territory is indeed large, and a noble territory is even larger than a kingdom on the King's Peninsula.

However, due to the impact of the Distortion Plague, the number of civilians in the Fengyang Empire has been declining. Chu Ming can see a large number of deserted villages along the way, and even the nobles have abandoned their territories in some places.

So Chu Ming didn't see many people along the way. If it wasn't for the guidance of an old fleeing famine passing by, he didn't know how long it would have taken him to find the right road.

In the dark forest, black mist floated, and Chu Ming returned to this gloomy place again.

After walking in the forest for a while, he finally saw the tall shadow of the wizard tower.

"Finally back."

Chu Ming sighed, walked around the backyard, and returned to the gate of the wizard tower.

At the door, a servant who was cleaning saw Chu Ming, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was so frightened that he dropped the broom.

"Master Na... Narende, why are you back?!"

Chu Ming frowned, not understanding what the servant meant.

"Why can't I come back?"

The slave's Adam's apple rolled and he quickly knelt down.

"No, it's just that news of your defection is spreading in the wizard tower."

The servant lowered his head, trembling, waiting for Chu Ming's punishment.

"I don't mean to blame you, get up."

After Chu Ming said something, he passed the servant and walked upstairs.

After being missing for so many days, of course he can't go back to the room like a normal person, he still needs to explain to Di Pu.

There was a creaking sound, and Chu Ming came to the No.13 floor, where wizards gathered.

As soon as he reached this floor, Chu Ming saw Edel standing in front of the door of a laboratory with his head bowed, and a harsh voice sounded from inside, scolding him non-stop.

"Edel?"

Edel was stunned for a moment when he heard the familiar voice, and suddenly turned his head to look at the stairs.

When he saw Chu Ming appear, he became emotional all of a sudden.

"Brother, you're back, I'm about to be scolded badly these days."

Chu Ming smiled wryly, and said the speech he had prepared.

"Stop talking, I met a black wizard in Mole Town. If it wasn't for the life-saving item that Teacher Di Pu gave me, I might have lost it long ago."

After hearing this, Edel's expression changed drastically.

"Then you are all right."

Chu Ming glanced at him speechlessly, "If I have something to do, can you still see me?"

Edel scratched his head embarrassingly, "Huh? Hahaha, that's right, I'm just too excited."

"Okay." Chu Ming patted him on the shoulder, "I have to say goodbye to Teacher Di Pu, we'll talk when we go back."

After bidding farewell to Edel, Chu Ming went on and came to the door of Di Pu's laboratory.

"Dong dong..."

"Teacher, it's me, Narende, I'm back."

"Huh?" A suspicious voice came from inside, "Come in."

Chu Ming opened the door and saw Di Pu wearing glasses and grinding crystal chips.

Di Pu took off his glasses, wiped the powder off his hands with a rag, then raised his eyes to Chu Ming and asked, "I heard that Mole Town was attacked by black wizards, and you were among them?"

Chu Ming hurriedly said: "At that time, I was still in Moore Town preparing to buy some gifts for the teacher. Unexpectedly, the Life Church in Mole Town was attacked, and the black wizard released the distortion powder and spread it to the whole town."

"I'm not very lucky. I happened to be near the wizard battle site. If I hadn't used the piece of meat given by the teacher, I might have been killed by the battle on the spot."

"After using the meat, my body suffered some injuries, and it took me a few days to recover, and then I rushed back to the wizard's tower without stopping."

Di Pu listened quietly to Chu Ming's story, and he couldn't find any faults in Chu Ming's words.

After listening, the old man said: "Since you are injured, you should rest well, and don't leave the dark forest for a while."

"Yes, Mr. Dipper."

A few minutes later, Chu Ming closed the door and went out.

On the way back, he happened to meet Marin in the corridor.

Marin glanced silently, without speaking.

Chu Ming didn't want to pay attention to him either, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Marin said, "Narend, I believe you are a smart man."

"Ms. Di Pu has accepted four more apprentices, you should know what this means."

Chu Ming stopped and sarcastically said, "Does that mean you are going to attack again?"

"Hehe." Marin smiled, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

After speaking, Marin walked up the stairs without looking back.

Chu Ming looked at Ma Lin's back, his mind moved.

If he guessed correctly, what Marin said should be something that Di Pu and those wizards have been hiding.

What these apprentices have in their hands is not a lion snake meditation idea, but a lich meditation idea.

As Chu Ming walked and thought, it was obvious that the purpose of Di Pu's eagerness to recruit more apprentices was not to pass on knowledge, but to select more apprentices who had the idea of ​​practicing Lich Meditation for spiritual assimilation.

He had asked about Edel's meditation method before, and compared the meditation method in his and Edel's hands.

He found that the apprentices in this wizard tower were all practicing the same Lich meditation idea, and each wizard had about five or six apprentices.

Only on Di Pu's side, because of Marin's secret obstruction, the number of apprentices has been unable to increase.

With such a large-scale spiritual assimilation, it is hard not to doubt the purpose of these wizards.

"So, has Marin discovered the spiritual assimilation and the strange actions of wizards?"

There was a flash of understanding in Chu Ming's eyes.

No wonder Marin took the risk again and again to prevent Dipper from recruiting apprentices. It turned out that he wanted to hinder the actions of the wizards.

No wonder Miguel didn't see how sad he was when he died, I guess he was secretly happy.

"To be honest, Marin is very smart, but this is not something he can stop."

Chu Ming shook his head and returned to the room.

"It will take at least a year for a new batch of apprentices to cultivate to my level."

"For now, don't worry about Di Pu's attack. It's time to focus on witchcraft research."

Of course, before that, Chu Ming had to do one more thing.

He sat down on the chair and let out Polly who was hiding in his clothes.

"Cuckoo..."

Polly flapped her disheveled wings and yelled in dissatisfaction.

Chu Ming smiled and apologized, while helping it straighten its feathers.

Putting Poli aside, Chu Ming took out the paper, dipped the ink with a quill pen, thought for a while, and read while writing:
"Dear Isabel:

I have already returned to the Wizard Tower. The environment here is quiet and the teacher-student relationship is harmonious. I believe that in the next few days, my witchcraft level will be greatly improved...

Where have you been back now, I want to know about your recent situation...

Pen to paper, Mr. Wizard. "

Chu Ming stopped writing, and several balls of waste paper appeared on the table. After writing for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up the letter, put it into a special copper roll, and tied it to Polly's foot. ring.

"Cuckoo..."

Polly opened her mouth, showing no intention of leaving.

Chu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and after asking Allen to find some bread to feed Polly, he opened the window and put Polly on the window sill.

The owl cooed a few times, flapped its wings and flew into the darkness.

After a while, the owl disappeared into the black mist.

Chu Ming glanced at the billowing black mist, closed the window, and returned to his own laboratory.

Standing in front of the table, he took out the "Bloodline Bridge" that he got when he started practicing witchcraft.

"If you want to study the working principle of witchcraft, and want to know the power of bloodlines and what is in the depths of bloodlines, then it is perfect to start from the foundation of bloodline witchcraft-"Bloodline Bridge"."

Unfolding the parchment, Chu Ming re-read the contents inside.
