Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 183 War Reparations, Fortress Crisis

Hearing this, Chu Ming suddenly realized.

No wonder I suddenly had nightmares as soon as I fell asleep. It turned out that the God of Knowledge had been making harassing calls to him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head, "It's amazing, so lacking in quality."

Seeing that Chu Ming was muttering something he couldn't understand, Heather Sears thought he was performing a special ceremony and didn't bother him.

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

"But since returning from that Northern Expedition, the development of the distortion has become more terrifying every 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, and He may have offered a bargaining chip that they could not refuse. "

Chu Ming asked, "What about you?"

The old man shook his head, "I have seen the horror of distortion, so I dare not touch it, but the world never lacks curious people."

"Perhaps you should be more careful, Narende. Aberrations may be lurking around."

"But the more troublesome thing now should be the dark wizard outside the pass fortress."

After finishing speaking, the old man slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking, after which 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 the distortion force, 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 the knowledge of the God of Knowledge should not be too great for a spiritual wizard, so he doesn't need to worry too much about undercover agents around him.

And once a normal wizard is infected with the distortion force, he will have particularly obvious symptoms.

Unless it is suppressed by special drugs like William Stelman, it is easy to be discovered.

Since there were still many things on the scene that Chu Ming had to solve in person, he could only cut off his thoughts temporarily and walked towards the group of knights.

When he walked to the middle of the team, Edel had already walked over with the other seven earls from the northern border.

Chu Ming glanced over, and saw Count Coutts, Earl Winter, Earl Jones, Earl Dawn, Earl Bland, Earl Madeleine...the eight earls were all present.

Everyone at the scene cast their eyes on Chu Ming, anxiously waiting for him to speak.

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

"what?!"

"Narend... my lord..."

The earls who had been waiting for him to speak were dumbfounded. They thought that 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 northern region, so naturally they know that failure has to pay a price."

As he said that, his tone became a lot colder, "If it weren't for the special period now and the need to resist the black wizard, you would have been killed long ago."

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

Earl Brand, who was rescued by Chu Ming from the capital before, blushed and finally sighed, "What Lord Narende said is that I accept the punishment."

Several other earls also hurriedly nodded and said, "Master Narende, if you need anything, just say it."

Hearing this, Chu Ming's face softened a little, "Each person must have three hundred high-quality crystals, no less than this amount."

"what?!"

Earl Dawn, the poorest among them, couldn't help but exclaimed.

Instead, the Earls of Winter, Jones, and Madeleine breathed a sigh of relief.

The severe winter territory where the Earl of severe winter is located is a transportation hub in the north, with a prosperous trading capital, and three hundred top-quality crystals can't hurt his bones.

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

Seeing the different expressions of the people, Chu Ming raised his mouth and continued, "From now on, the Tower of Knowledge accepts epic cultivation services."

"The cultivation cost of an epic only needs to pay 180 top-quality crystals."

"what?!"

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

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

Chu Ming's proposal really touched their hearts.

Apart from these two earls, several other earls also became excited.

Only Earl Dawn, the poorest, had a bitter expression on his face, and he was already thinking about why he followed here.

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

It is naturally impossible for these earls to obediently hand over all the top-quality crystals. Even if he robs them hard, he will not be able to find the cellar where these earls store the top-quality crystals.

That being the case, it is better to let the earls hand over the best crystals independently.

After all, no one can refuse the temptation of Epic, and only 180 top-quality crystals can be exchanged for an Epic, which is a huge profit.

Of course, Chu Ming made money even more.

About 60 yuan of crystals can produce an extreme witchcraft staff, and a transaction of 180 top-quality crystals means that three epics will be born, one in other counties, and they can have two.

Even if the epic power of other counties grows, it’s okay. The Counties of Coutts will always grow much more than them, so there is no need to be afraid of 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-quality crystals, the number of wizards at the epic two-star level in their territory will usher in an increase.

Maybe it surpasses the power of the dark wizard in this regard.

It's too late for these earls to rush to drink soup behind him, so they don't have the heart to plot rebellion.

Another point is that the method Chu Ming intends to provide these earls with epic cultivation services is a combination of rune-branded crystals and mental recovery equipment.

He currently has no plans to let the ultimate rune equipment flow out. As long as the rune is imprinted in the spiritual sea of ​​the candidates trained by the epic, he can still use the mental recovery equipment to trigger the extreme witchcraft.

It's just that after the wizard passed away, there would be no ultimate rune equipment passed down. If they want to have a new epic, they must continue to send new candidates to accept the rune branding 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.

Standing still will not make the spiritual wizard system perfect.

If one day, he eliminates the raging black wizards and solves the plague of distortion, he will naturally let go of the knowledge restrictions of spiritual wizards and let the power of spiritual wizards spread.

After solving the matters related to the captive earls, Chu Ming pulled Edel out, "How about it? How many top-quality spiritual crystals are still hidden in the royal family?"

When Edel heard this, a smile filled his face, "I asked about those captured epics, there are more than 500 in total."

"There are also three hundred top-quality crystals for each of the seven earls just now, let me count...uh..."

Edel snapped his fingers and fell into deep thought.

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

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

"Uh... how much."

Edel looked at Chu Ming.

Chu Ming smiled and said, "43 epics."

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

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

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

After Edel finished listening, 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 him on the shoulder, turned around and called Alan and the others back.

Allen asked, "Narend, what's the matter?"

Chu Ming picked up the three staffs in his hand, "We still need to go to the fortress at the pass, lest black wizards take advantage of this time to attack the fortress."

The four of them froze for a moment, their faces becoming serious.

"Come on, you need to hurry up."

There was a wave of witchcraft in Chu Ming's hands, and the dragon vines were uprooted.

Chu Ming and his group went up, and left the flowing water channel with the help of the Moskeletal Dragon Vine to rush towards the pass fortress.

From Count Coutts to the pass fortress, it takes more than a month to travel normally.

But this is only for ordinary caravans. A team of knights with extraordinary strength can completely shorten the journey to less than a month, and a team of extraordinary knights only needs about 20 days.

And their epic wizard team can shorten the journey to about ten days without resting and rushing with all their strength.

After they left the water channel, they soon entered the Great Plains of the Territory of Harsh Winter.

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

"Hopefully everything works out in time."

……

ten days later.

In the pass fortress dungeon.

The orange flames flickered, only the torches on the wall illuminated the corridor, and there was darkness in the cage that even the flames could not reach.

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

Seeing that no one was guarding him, he retracted his head and said to the two people behind him: "The guards are not there, something must have happened outside, let's escape quickly."

A worried expression appeared on the face of a wizard, "I don't know what's going on with the territory, it's been almost a month."

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

After they put the three of Claire in the Pass Fortress into the dungeon, they spent another 20 days leading the Cavaliers to the Harsh Winter Territory.

Now ten days have passed since the passage war, and the three people who were detained had no idea what the situation outside had become.

All they know is that the Pass Fortress seems to have been attacked by dark wizards in the past few days, and the current situation in the fortress is so urgent that the guards guarding the dungeon have been dispatched.

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

Without limit rune equipment, they are still official wizards at the blue level, and it is not difficult to break through the cage in front of them.

The difficulty is how to escape from the heavily guarded fortress, and then inform the territory.

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

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

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

After a while, the iron fence was broken abruptly, and the three of them got out from inside.

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

Claire hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "The outside world doesn't know what's going on now, one more person will give us more power."

The three of them walked to the front of the dungeon, relying on their memory, they found the hundred witches imprisoned inside.

After the knight inside heard the movement, he saw clearly the three wizards bathed in lights.

"Master Claire!"

The knights stood up excitedly, and they immediately said: "There seems to be a wave of beasts attacking the fort outside now, they are short of manpower, and they have deployed 50 of our people to go out..."

When Claire heard this, her face became serious.

"Are there no epic wizards out there?"

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

"Damn it, these idiots!"

Claire's face was furious, and she punched the wall with a fist.

"Don't they know that the dark wizard has been watching us?"

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

The man's chest heaved violently, obviously very angry.

But his mind is still clear, and he understands that now is not the time to vent his emotions.

The light in his hand lit up, thorns appeared, climbed on the iron fence, and removed all the iron fence with the other two wizards.

"Follow me, everyone. If you encounter knights in the fortress, subdue them first."

Claire led a group of wizards to the gate of the dungeon soon.

Just as he was about to break open the gate, there was a sudden loud noise outside, and the entire fortress and dungeon shook.

"Things don't look good."

Claire quickly broke through the door and walked out.

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

Seeing this, Claire's expression changed a bit, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "Go and retrieve the rune equipment, let's go to the city wall to have a look."

"If the fort breaks down, we can't escape anywhere."

The Cavaliers Captain nodded solemnly, and then led the Cavaliers to the helmet room.

The three of Claire also hurried to find the lost staff.

But these three staffs had already fallen into Chu Ming's hands, and they couldn't find them at all.

After the witch riders 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 ladder, and soon met a knight.

The knight was startled when he saw Claire and the others, and was about to shout.

Claire's face turned cold, and she grabbed him with a tree vine, and asked angrily, "How is the situation in the fort now?"

The knight showed a weeping and anxious expression, "Master Claire, I..."

"What time is it? Solve the crisis first, and talk about the rest later!"

The knight came to his senses and said anxiously: "There are dark wizards outside the fort directing the beast tide to attack the fort."

"There are already many holes in the walls of the fortress, and the Cavaliers have reached their limit. Maybe today..."

The knight didn't continue, but his dark expression said it all.

Claire put down the knight, ignored him, and hurriedly led the knight team up the stone ladder.

Deng Deng Deng! !

The sound of hurried footsteps and metal collision sounded, and a bright light appeared in front of it.

Claire was shocked and came to the top of the city.

He looked around and saw that the knights standing on the wall were extremely chaotic. Some knights were attacking the beast tide below with bows and arrows, while some knights were pushing the boulder to make it roll up and down.

Claire hurried past, some chivalry flashed, and whispered, "Master Claire..."

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, the knight's expression changed, and he shouted, "No... no, how did you escape?!"

The surrounding knights turned their heads when they heard his shout.

It seems that when Claire and the others really came out, they were frightened into a cold sweat.

Claire yelled coldly: "Look at me, put your mind on the beast tide below."

The knights were in a trance, and felt that they had returned to the time when they were with Claire and other wizards and knights in Counties of Coutts before they were imprisoned.

In fact, they were opposed to the detainment of the wizard knights of the Earl of Coutts. After spending a year with them, the three wizards of Clare had already become the backbone of the fortress.

But these little knights often have no right to speak, and can only obey the arrangement of the royal family and imprison them in the dungeon.

But because they all respect Claire and the others, they will not deliberately make things difficult.

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

Unlike these knights, Claire's heart was heavy.

Without the help of the staff, they cannot exert epic power.

And the other epics are not there, and this fortress cannot be defended at all.

The man gritted his teeth, "If you can't keep it, you have to do your best to keep it, otherwise how can I explain to Lord Narende."

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

After the witch cavalry team got the order, they quickly took over the work of the nearby knights.

Claire looked down the city wall.

In the wilderness, there was darkness, and the dark creatures with blood on their bodies screamed without fear of death, and rushed towards the city wall covered in black blood.

dong dong dong...

There were endless crashes.

But it wasn't the dark creatures that worried him the most. He moved his eyes to the middle of the city wall, and saw a four-meter-tall, purple-muscled epic creature under the city wall that looked like a bull.
