Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 239
Chu Ming stepped on the giant white manta ray, as if walking on flat ground, without feeling any bumps at all.

This kind of creature is called cloud ray, which is an elemental creature of the water system. Its whole body is composed of solid clouds and mist. It is an epic level at birth, but it has a docile personality and almost no combat power. On the clouds, it is the most common creature in the Kingdom of God in the Age of Mythology.

Now that the magic power has recovered, this mythical creature has also returned to the mainland, but compared with the huge cloud ray race in the mythical era, the number today is still a little less.

If magical creatures can be rated, they are at least rare creatures.

When all the sorcerers in the square were on the back of the cloud ray, Chu Ming waved to Trina and the others below.

"Take care of Irina."

After Chu Ming finished speaking, the cloud ray let out a long but not harsh cry. Its body rose slightly, and gradually softened into a cloud and continued to expand outward.

In just a few minutes, the cloud ray floated into the sky and turned into a huge triangular cloud. Its body was many times wider than it was on the ground just now.

Chu Ming looked at the mage surrounded by clouds and mist, his expression flickered, as if he had entered a world made of clouds and mist.

At this time, Elvis Victoria's voice resounded throughout the cloud world again.

"Everyone stand firm, the cloud ray is about to speed up."

"Ugh..."

The long chirping sound resounded through the sky, and golden patterns lit up from the back of the cloud ray, forming a huge magic circle.

The cloud gradually dissipated under the golden light, revealing the transparent body of the cloud ray.

"rise!"

The voices of several mages sounded at the scene, and a golden transparent barrier rose from the back of the cloud ray, covering the howling wind in the high sky, and the world was instantly quiet.

Chu Ming lowered his head and looked down. With the rise of the cloud ray, the huge Violet King City became smaller and smaller, and finally only the eye-catching purple beam of light remained.

"Ugh..."

The cloud ray slowly flapped the cloud wings, and bang... the barrier of the magic circle hit the clouds and entered the endless clouds. Everyone's vision was blocked by the clouds and they couldn't see the direction clearly.

After traveling through the clouds for a few seconds, the cloud ray, like a sea fish, uttered a cry and rushed out of the clouds.

In an instant, the sky and the earth cleared up, the sky was under the feet, and the golden radiance of the sun shone warmly on everyone.

These sorcerers have never seen such a vast scene, their eyes are placed on the blue and clear sky, and they can't move their eyes for a while.

"What a nice view……"

Mattie murmured, her tense face relaxed a little, and she slowly lowered the long-handled ax in her hand.

Chu Ming glanced at the maid, only then did he realize that compared to his usual quiet performance, Mattie seemed much more nervous now.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help asking in surprise, "Mattie, are you afraid of heights?"

With a sullen face slightly, Mattie nodded honestly and said, "Did Mattie cause you trouble?"

"That's not true, it's just a little surprising."

Chu Ming chuckled and sat cross-legged on the ground.

No matter how fast the cloud ray is, it will take at least three or four days to go to the thorn flower. In this case, why not take advantage of this free time to practice hard.

"Mattie, take care of me, I'm going to start practicing."

Mattie showed surprise, and said in admiration, "Mr. Lane is really hardworking, and Mattie will protect you."

After finishing speaking, the girl clenched the weapon in her hand and scanned her surroundings.

Seeing this, Chu Ming closed his eyes with peace of mind and entered a state of meditation.

In the sea of ​​spirits, endless tides came in, and the icy cold feeling refreshed one's heart. Chu Ming lay on the beach and opened his eyes.

He turned up and looked at the sky. On the clear blue sky, a huge fireball like the sun emitted endless light and heat, reflecting traces of mysterious energy into Chu Ming's spiritual sea and blood.

This fireball is the secret key of his bloodline to escape into his spiritual sea. He took a step, and the distance from the fireball was only a short distance away. He closed his eyes, touched this huge fireball, and carefully felt the flow of energy in his body. blood power.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and came to a conclusion, "Compared to a year ago, my knight talent has made great progress, the reason why the bottleneck of the dark blue realm will be loosened is because my talent has barely reached reached the level of deep blue."

"Judging by the current level of talent in the mainland, it can be regarded as an excellent existence among low-level talents."

"Huh... If you have reached your talent, then you should work hard and break through to the knight level."

"I hope we can make a breakthrough in Thorn Flower County."

……

Three days later, the cloud ray arrived in Thorn Flower County ahead of schedule, and Mattie's soft voice rang in Chu Ming's ears.

"Mr. Wren, Mr. Wren... we have arrived at our destination."

In the chaos of thinking, Chu Ming was gradually attracted by this voice, and slowly opened his eyes.

"Reached……"

He looked forward and saw Mattie squatting in front of him.

Nodding to the girl, he continued to look backwards, and looked in front of Yuntian with many mages.

Rumbling... The sound of the thunderstorm echoed, and a column of black clouds appeared in front of the cloud ray. Endless clouds surged upwards, and the raindrops splashed on the golden barrier, making a pattering sound.

Chu Ming's perception could not help but spread out, he seemed to feel a chaotic and indescribable breath in the black cloud.

He frowned slightly, "There is such a thick dark aura gathering above the clouds in Thorn Flower County."

Just when Chu Ming was feeling puzzled, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Of course, this time the tide of dark beasts has spread throughout Thorn Flower County, even if the tide of dark beasts has been eliminated, this phenomenon will not happen for a while. disappear."

Chu Ming looked back, and saw a gentle mage wearing glasses standing behind him as if passing by.

When the man saw Chu Ming cast his gaze, he smiled and saluted, "Hello classmate, I'm Krono Harlowin, from the Victoria Master Tower."

Hearing this, Chu Ming had a look of understanding on his face.

The Victoria Mage Tower is under the control of the Mage Tower Master Elvis Victoria who led the cleaning activity.

The student approached him, apparently at Elvis' favor.

Chu Ming asked with interest: "My next Ren Brick, you seem to know a lot about the dark beast tide."

Kronor pushed his glasses, smiled lightly and said, "I'm ashamed to say, I've been studying dark creatures with my teacher, but I only learned some superficial things."

"A dark cloud phenomenon like this will be more obvious on the border between the human territory and the dark land."

"In the dark place full of dark creatures, the clouds can hardly flow, and after the normal cloud flow comes into contact with it, this magnificent cloud wall will be formed."

Chu Ming touched his chin, and asked with a smile, "You came here just to introduce this to me, right?"

Crono shook his head, "Of course not, in fact I received the order from the tower master to protect you, student Ren."

"Although I don't know why the tower owner made such an arrangement, the tower owner should have a deep meaning."

"Oh, forgot to mention."

Kronor took off his glasses, and the majestic spiritual power swept out of his body, pushing away the surrounding clouds and mists. His eyes were piercing, and he said with some self-confidence: "Below is the epic seed of the Victoria Mage Tower, the magic brain The progress of the construction has reached 80.00% five, although it is still unable to operate the magic external brain, but the mental power is much deeper than that of ordinary dark blue mages, I am confident that I can complete the task of protecting you."

A little surprise appeared on Chu Ming's face, and he asked with a smile, "How old are you?"

Kronor was stunned, and said proudly: "I am 43 years old now. It has only been eight years since I built the magic external brain. I am confident that I will break through to epic in the next ten years."

Chu Ming sighed: "Sure enough, there will be no shortage of talented people in any era."

Kronor sat in front of him and comforted him: "The tower master asked me to protect you. Naturally, there is a reason for him. Maybe he is interested in something about you. Brothers, don't underestimate yourself. The talent of a mage doesn't mean anything."

Chu Ming's expression was a little strange, and he nodded following his words, "Then I will trouble you next."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Mattie, "Matty, you should have a good rest, with Classmate Krono here, I think we will be fine."

Mattie was a little dazed, but honestly she shook her head and said: "Mr. Wren, I promised Miss Trina to protect you. Even if Mr. Clono is here, I will do my best."

"Okay..." Chu Ming touched his nose, "Then I will trouble you."

Originally, Chu Ming wanted to hand over the hard work to this enthusiastic classmate of Kronor with Bai De's guards in his arms, but Marty was so honest that he didn't understand what he meant.

But this is harmless, with one more powerful person accompanying him, the cleaning operation will be safer, and he hopes that Elvis Victoria can find more people like Kronor for him.

……

After lingering near the cloud wall for a while, the cloud ray went against the thundercloud under the command of the mage, and traveled under the cloud through the storm.

"Ugh..."

The long chirping of the cloud ray echoed in the black clouds, but soon the thunder light lit up, and the chirping was covered by the thunder.

Papa papa... The black mist was turning into straight clouds on the golden barrier, and the rain was beating the golden barrier frantically.

The suffocating coercion came, and some mage students looked worried and looked at the golden circle, fearing that the thin barrier could not withstand this pressure and burst.

Fortunately, the barrier was much tougher than they had imagined. The cloud ray pierced through the clouds, bringing out traces of flowing clouds, and the light of the golden barrier did not weaken in the slightest.

After the cloud ray drove out of the clouds, the land of Thorn Flower County appeared in front of the mages.

Chu Ming looked down. Compared with last year, this land is much darker than before, and the air is full of black mist that cannot be dispelled.

Cloud ray skimmed the ground, dark forests, extremely silent wasteland, abandoned dilapidated towns... appeared in front of everyone one by one, a desolate breath came, and the stagnant air weighed heavily on everyone's heart like a weight.

The current situation in Thorn Flower County looks much worse than when Chu Ming escaped last year. If it weren't for the fact that there were no dark creatures here, he would have thought he had entered a dark place.

Chu Ming glanced at Aiweisi and other epic mages in front of him. They seemed to think that this was a normal phenomenon, and their expressions did not change.

"Perhaps as Krono said, this is a normal phenomenon. The erosion of the dark land caused by this large-scale swarm of dark beasts will not disappear for a while."

……

The cloud ray continued to fly, over the mountains and towns, and soon came to the first stronghold left by the magic legion.

Ives turned his head and shouted: "Mages who rank lower in the Mage Tower can go down first, the danger here is not high."

"As for the mages of the other Great Mage Towers to continue to follow the cloud ray, we have to go deeper."

"The mages who are at the bottom of the mage tower..." Chu Ming rubbed his chin, "Isn't this about me?"

"Alright, I just came here to walk through the process, there is no need to go deeper with them."

Thinking of this, Chu Ming stood up and waved to Mattie and Krono, "Let's go down here."

After finishing speaking, he and Marty and some mages swarmed in front of the cloud ray, preparing to land at this stronghold.

"Oh, brother, wait, I'll go and call my knight."

Crono yelled, quickly put on his glasses, got up and went back to find his magic knight.

The cloud ray landed on the ground smoothly, and in a stronghold the size of a village, several epic mages came out to greet everyone.

The epic mage in charge of guarding this stronghold was named George Hackel. After Ives explained some things to him, the mages stepped off the back of the cloud ray one after another.

Chu Ming's feet landed on the ground, and he walked down with a relaxed Mattie and an anxious Kronor, and behind Kronor stood a powerful magic knight.

"George, ensure their safety, I have to continue to the next stronghold."

Ives waved to everyone, glanced at Chu Ming and Krono next to him from the corner of his eyes, he nodded with satisfaction, and finally disappeared into the clouds and left the stronghold with Yun Yu.

George Huckel turned his head and looked at the mages who came down from the cloud ray, their faces were still green.

He said: "After the Thorn Flower County was ravaged by the dark beast tide, there are remnants of dark creatures everywhere, full of various dangers."

"Put away your contempt, I don't want to receive news that some students died in the wilderness in a few days."

"The magic legion can easily deal with the dark beast tide, but you may not even be able to deal with one of the dark creatures."

"If you encounter troubles, such as epic creatures, you can come back and report to me, and I will record your achievements and use them as proof of eligibility for the birth of magic patterns."

"do you understand?"

The man's plain voice echoed in everyone's minds through mental power, and the mages couldn't help but nodded.

"Very well, you can stay in the stronghold for a few days, but the stronghold will not be responsible for your food and accommodation, at least if you want to be lazy, don't appear in front of me."

After the man finished speaking, he ignored what the mages were thinking, and walked into the village.

After the man left, whispers came from the group of mages, and some mages with strong mobility even took the magic knights to the wilderness.

Among the crowd, Krono turned to look at Chu Ming, "What should I say, where are we going?"

"Anyway, I want to protect you, and I will follow you wherever you go."

After speaking, the man shrugged.

Chu Ming thought for a while, and pointed to the dirt road in the northwest direction, "I remember walking along this road, there is a village there."

"Since they won't let us stay at the stronghold, why don't we find a resting place ourselves."

"Okay." Krono turned his head and looked at the young magic knight, "Ai Qi, you go ahead, if there is anything wrong, I will use magic to support you."

"Yes, my lord."

The young knight walked ahead, advancing along the dirt road.

Mattie and Krono stood beside Chu Ming, observing the surrounding bushes.

At the beginning, several people were still a little nervous, but after walking for half an hour, they didn't encounter any dark creatures. After seeing some skeletons on the ground, Kronor relaxed.

He smiled and said, "It seems that the Magic Legion has cleaned this place thoroughly."

"Really, what do you see there?"

Chu Ming pointed to an oak tree not far away, on which there seemed to be a black shadow crawling on the branch, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

Kronor looked over, and there was a dark creature hidden in a place he didn't pay attention to, and he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Aiqi!"

With a cry, he swung his short staff, and a wave of mud rushed towards the dark creature on the oak tree.

Before the dark creature had time to escape, it was swallowed by the mud wave and buried in the soil layer with a howl.

Seeing that the danger was resolved, Crono couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and after a while, he raised his head and asked Chu Ming, "Ren, how did you find out?"

Chu Ming shook his head, "Mati and I both saw it. This dark creature has a weak aura, only green. If it doesn't enter a tyrannical state, he won't attack us."

"Before this, there were still several dark creatures hiding in the bushes, but their strength was very poor. It's better to train the mage who followed behind."

When Crono heard this, his face turned red.

Before he set off, he vowed to protect Chu Ming, but he didn't even see the dark creatures, which was really shameful.

Chu Ming glanced at the ashamed man, and he chuckled, "Have you rarely faced dark creatures before?"

Crono said awkwardly: "I only read about it in books. If you want to see dark creatures with your own eyes, you have to go to the Dark Land. I originally planned to enter the Dark Land with the caravan after I was promoted to Epic. "

Since the dark creatures were completely expelled from the human territory, it is not easy for modern transcendents to see dark creatures. There are many scholars and mages like Kronor who study dark creatures but have never seen dark creatures. I don't know whether it is the progress of civilization or the regression of civilization.

As he said that, he asked curiously: "Brother, you seem to be familiar with dark creatures, do you often go to dark places?"

Chu Ming waved his hand, "It's just a little more experience than yours."
