Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 254 Elemental Standard School, Dark Magic
At the entrance of the Central Library, Chu Ming stepped up the stone steps, and the passing knights bowed their heads to him and said: "Mr. Ryan, good afternoon."

"good afternoon."

Chu Ming responded to the knight with a smile.

"Have a nice day today."

"Thank you."

Chu Ming bid farewell to the knight, and took Irina to the door of the library.

Behind him, the mage next to the knight asked suspiciously: "Beltz, do you know him?"

"Yes sir, Mr. Wren is..."

As Chu Ming stepped into the library, the voices of the two gradually moved away from him.

Chu Ming glanced across the entire interior of the library. The library is circular in shape, and the walls are full of bookshelves and books. In the middle of the building is a mahogany column covered with green vines. Students who come to borrow books take down the books.

Under the gentle light of the warm-colored crystal chandelier, the lacquer surface of the mahogany boards has a faint yellow halo. The environment inside is quiet and calms the mind.

This is not the first time Chu Ming has come here, he is quite familiar with this place.

Just as Chu Ming walked into it, the half-length puppet on the counter looked at him with green eyes.

"Student, please show your mage certificate and library card."

Chu Ming nodded and looked at Irina.

Irina was taken aback, and hurriedly opened the bag to search for it, and took out a metal card and a small red book from inside.

The green light on the puppet's body shone slightly, and the vines took the metal card and the borrowing card, and glanced at them.

"The verification is successful, Mr. Ren, welcome to the Violet Central Library."

"It's troublesome."

Chu Ming took back the mage certificate and the library card, and took Irina inside.

Walking out of the corridor where the counter is located, under the circular mahogany guardrail are the mages sitting on the desks studying hard. The rustling sound of writing on the desks is particularly unique in the quiet library.

"Mr. Ryan, hello, what do you need?"

A puppet cat made of metal parts and covered in artificially carved magic patterns jumped over, and its paws fell on the mahogany guardrail without making any sound.

"I want to read some books about wood-type spells. The spell level should be level four."

"Please wait."

The golem cat stood still suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in its amber topaz eyes.

On the huge mahogany pillar in the center of the library, several vines grew from the main vine, and consciously took down fourteen books from the upper bookshelf on Chu Ming's right.

The vine slowly descended and handed the book to Chu Ming.

The Puppet Cat reminded: "You can read these books at will here. If you need to take them out of the library, please go to the counter to register with your library card. You can't take out more than three books at a time."

Chu Ming took the stacked books, shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just read it here."

"Oh, by the way, is there a collection of epic stories in the library, preferably with illustrations."

The Golem nodded, "Your needs are met."

Vines looked for the lower bookshelf, and finally took out a thin book with more than 100 pages.

"sorry to bother you."

Chu Ming took the story collection, bid farewell to the golem cat, and led Irina, who was walking cautiously, to an empty seat.

"Irina, this is for you, just watch this if you are bored."

Chu Ming smiled slightly, and handed the story collection to Irina.

"Thank you sir."

Irina took the book with a happy expression on her face.

Seeing the little maid start to look through the story collection in her hand, Chu Ming came back to his senses, took down the spell books and looked through them one by one.

""General Healing Spell Models", "General Explanation of New Wooden Spell Models", "A Detailed Count of Those Wooden Spells with Strong Destructive Power"..."

Chu Ming flipped through the books in his hand, the proof of time was working, he just glanced at the pages, and remembered the contents in his mind.

Gradually, he became obsessed with the world of books, leaving only the sound of pages turning on the desk.

Opposite him, Irina flipped through the story collection faster than Chu Ming did. She didn't know many words in the book, and she was mainly looking at the exquisite illustrations.

After half an hour passed, Irina turned to the last page of the story collection. She raised her head to look at Chu Ming, only to see that the man was still immersed in the world of books and had forgotten the reality.

The little maid blinked, turned back to the first page of the story collection, and read it again.

Time passed bit by bit, and the pearl on the spire of the mage tower outside the library gradually dimmed, heralding the arrival of night.

After the light outside weakened, the light from the crystal chandelier on the top of the library became more and more dim. Irina put down the story collection boredly, put her head on the table, and stared at Chu Ming.

"Maya Green Language, a third-level spell..."

"Corruption and sinking... The fourth-level spell has the effect of restraint and erosion. After the spell is released, it can gradually reduce the physical activity of the target of the spell, and inhibit the physical strength and recovery ability of the spell."

"Barbarian will, a fourth-level spell, orc shaman's original spell..."

Chu Ming closed the last spell book and let out a long breath.

After reading so many spells, there were quite a few spells that met his requirements. He made a decision in his heart, and finally chose the fourth-level spell called Decay and Fall.

In fact, this spell was not developed by mainland mages, but was brought back by mages who went to explore outside the mainland. This spell came from dark creatures called decayed mages. A dark spell that is completely different from the mainland magic system.

These spells are characterized by strong aggression and strange power, making them hard to detect. They are closer to the witchcraft used by wizards, so dark spells are also called witchcraft.

However, there are still many different factions under the continental magic system. There is the elemental creature school known as the magic druid, the ancient school that insists on excavating the records of spells in the ancient first magic era through archaeology, and the school that combines spells with magic puppet technology. The puppet school, the practical school that adheres to the integration and application of spell models, magic circles, and magic lines, the elemental school that insists on the fundamentalism of elemental magic, and the new school that supports spells without factions...

Among them, the magic theory of the element-based school is the most popular on the mainland. The spells that Chu Ming practiced before all come from this school, which belongs to pure elemental magic.

In terms of the application of spells, the Golem School and the Practical School are the most popular. The Golems, Magic Paths, and Magic Circles developed by them are popular throughout the continent, which can be compared with the rune equipment developed by the Fengyang Empire.

Pure elemental spells are superior to spells from other factions in terms of spell release efficiency, and have the excellent characteristics of simplicity and rudeness. It is also because of this that elemental standard spells are popular across the continent.

Chu Ming's current shortcoming is that he is weak against creatures like the giant scale bear with terrifying physical recovery ability.

If you want to solve this short board, you must either continue to improve your own explosive ability to make the strength exceed the limit of the enemy's recovery, or find a way to apply negative effects to the enemy and reduce the enemy's physical recovery ability.

Chu Ming reckoned that after the giant scale bear was polluted by high-ranking blood, its physical body has reached an extremely terrifying level. Even if it is an epic three-star knight or mage, it will take a while to destroy it. .

His current strength is already at the limit of the deep blue level, and it will not be so easy to continue to improve. The method of improving explosive ability is not reliable for him.

Then the only way left is to apply negative effects to the enemy.

To be honest, elemental spells are almost all based on power, and there are few spells that can exert negative effects on the enemy, so Chu Ming focused on dark spells.

The spell that Chu Ming is looking at now, called decay and sinking, perfectly fits his requirements. It can allow him to gradually ossify the enemy's physical body and lose its recovery activity during the battle. domain spells.

Its only flaw is its weak power, but for Chu Ming, who has a super explosive ability, this flaw is not a flaw, and he does not lack the icing on the cake damage.

In addition, he also chose a long-range attack spell called Luhua Ball Shadow, which can condense a green light ball and project it at distant enemies, causing explosive damage to the enemy, which to a certain extent made up for his long-range attack. Weaknesses in attack.

Because the ability of this spell is very similar to that of a magic plant flower called Luhuaqiu, it is named Luhuaqiuying.

Generally speaking, the element-based mages name their spells after the elements themselves. For example, fire spells are raging fire, flame jets, basically inseparable from the word fire, such as Luhua Ball Shadow, which uses similar objects The named spells are named after the Elemental Life school known as spell druids, while the names of dark spells are generally named according to the original owner of the released spell. Obtained by mages.

After sorting out the knowledge in his mind, Chu Ming slowly came back to his senses. He looked across to see Irina lying on the wooden table with her head buried like a kitten, snoring slightly.

Chu Ming stood up and took a look around. Even though it was already night, there were still many mages in the library. Some mages heard snoring from Chu Ming's desk, looked up and saw a Behind the child, he showed a funny look.

Chu Ming nodded apologetically to the mage who cast his gaze. He put the book back on the circular counter in front of the mahogany pillar, and Green Vine took the book and climbed up to the high-rise area to put it.

After packing up his things, he gently picked up the sleeping Irina and walked out of the library.

Walking on the street, the bustling sounds gradually spread into the ears. Before entering, it was daytime, and after coming out, it was night.

"Master...Master."

Irina, who was in a deep sleep, finally woke up, and she looked up at Chu Ming.

"Shall we go home?"

"Yes, go back to eat."

He put down Irina, and after the little maid woke up, he took her little hand and walked towards the mage tower.

……

As the night darkened, Chu Ming and the two of them had just returned to the garden area where Tuaili's Master Tower was located, when a subtle voice sounded from his ears, and it became more and more clear.

"Your Highness Trina, we should go back."

A resolute female voice sounded, with a bit of respect in her tone.

"Melonu, wait a little longer."

Trina's response was neither slow nor hasty, her tone full of calmness.

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, then walked to the door of the mage tower, and saw four people standing at the door of the mage tower, including Trina, Marty and Ayman, and a strange female knight in purple armor.

Beside the female knight, a huge creature covered in purple patterned armor and with snow-white wings on its back sat quietly cross-legged beside the crowd, listening to their speech.

A memory flashed across Chu Ming's mind, and he recognized at a glance that this griffin was the one that gave Trina the staff.

His mind moved, as if he had thought of something.

"Is Trina leaving?"

Thinking of this, Chu Ming led Irina and appeared in front of everyone.

Mattie, who was quietly listening to Aiman ​​bragging to the female knight, was taken aback suddenly. She noticed that Chu Ming and the two had returned, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Mr. Lane, good evening."

Chu Ming nodded and asked, "Mattie, what happened?"

Mattie looked at Irina, and the woman came over, rubbed Irina's head, and said with a smile: "Some things happened in the country of Migliorini that I need to go back to deal with. I may have to leave for a while."

Chu Ming had already expected this result, he nodded and said, "Have a good trip, Senior Sister."

Trina smiled, opened her hands and joked, "Little brother, don't you want to keep me?"

Chu Ming hugged the woman and said with a smile: "I will go back to the atrium later, and I will find you when I have time. You must treat me well then."

He is very interested in the puppet technology and life refining technique of the country of Migliorini. The idea of ​​creating a clone in his mind has not been realized, and he will definitely find time to go to the country of Migliorini.

"That's it."

Trina winked at him, rolled up her long white hair and walked towards the female knight.

Behind Trina, Mattie saluted: "Goodbye, Mr. Ryan, and look forward to meeting you next time."

"Goodbye, Mattie."

"Wow, sister Mattie, sister Trina!"

Just as Chu Ming was about to wave goodbye to the two, the little maid next to him couldn't hold back anymore, her eyes were red, she burst into tears and hugged Mattie.

"Irina, be good."

Mattie knelt down and stroked her hair tenderly.

"Oh, it made my old man feel a little worried."

Ayman sighed with his hands behind his back.

Chu Ming glanced at him, "Teacher, why don't you go back to the Kingdom of Clinton with me, I'll treat you with delicious food and drinks, and take you to the country of Migliorini for sightseeing."

Without even thinking about it, Aiman ​​directly rejected Chu Ming.

"Ahem, forget it, as soon as I leave, no one will guard the mage tower."

Trina and the female knight sat on the griffin together, and the woman's voice came back, "Ren, let him go, I will send a knight to observe the situation of the sacred tree at all times."

"Well, I'm sorry, Senior Sister."

Chu Ming waved goodbye to the two.

The knight grabbed the reins and looked back at Chu Ming and the others, "Thank you for taking care of His Highness over the years, and welcome to the country of Migliorini as a guest."

After the woman finished speaking, she waved the reins, and the griffin stepped out of nowhere, and a cyan flow lingered from its wings. With a shock of its snow-white wings, it flew high into the sky, heading away from the royal city.

Several people watched the back of the griffin leaving, and it took a long time to come back to their senses.

Ayman sighed and shook his head, "I'm afraid that once Trina leaves, she won't come back."

Hearing this, Chu Ming asked doubtfully, "Why?"

The old man said with a serious face: "It is said that the queen of Migliorini was assassinated in the palace. King Dario was furious and is searching for the murderer in the country."

"Trina should go back this time to visit the queen's condition, and take refuge by the way."

"Since the murderer dares to attack a queen, he may not dare to attack Trina. The murderer can sneak into the palace with many legendary mages. His strength must not be simple, and even the probability of legend is very likely..."

"The royal family of Migliorini was worried that Trina would be in danger here, so they recalled her back to the country."

After hearing this, Chu Ming fell into deep thought. Dark beasts raged, unknown evil gods entered the arena, the remains of the sacred tree appeared, and the queen of Migliorini was assassinated... The whole southern border seems to be full of rain and wind. Lou feels that there seems to be some behind-the-scenes driving force stirring up the situation in southern Xinjiang.

……

Mage tower room.

Irina took out the contents of the big satchel and put them on Chu Ming's desk, then she glanced at the stinky clothes in the bag, and said to Chu Ming, "Master, I'm going to do the laundry first."

Chu Ming rubbed her head, "Don't fall asleep too late."

"Ah."

Irina closed the door carefully, and the sound of light footsteps disappeared into the corridor.

Chu Ming sat down at the table, wanting to imprint the selected spells in his mind through construction, but he always felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Although the departure of Trina and Mattie didn't make him so sad, he still felt that something was missing in his heart today.

"Forget it, it's a mess today."

……

Three days later, in the practice room of the mage tower.

Chu Ming sat cross-legged on the floor, breathing evenly, and a faint green light emanated from his body.

After a while, he opened his eyes and stretched out his right hand.

The green light floating around his body quickly dimmed, and the dim light covered the ground, sticky like a swamp, still bubbling.

A smell of corruption came to his nostrils, and a smile appeared on Chu Ming's face.

This spell is the dark spell Decay and Fall that he found in the library a few days ago. It only took him three days to imprint this complicated spell model in his mind, and he also mastered the third-level spell Lu Huaqiuying.

It's just that after Lu Hua's ball shadow spell is released, it will explode. Chu Ming didn't test it. If a hole is blown out of this training room, Ayman will definitely chase him and scold him.

Thinking of the picture of Aiman ​​being in a state of dismay, Chu Ming couldn't help but smile slightly.

Sitting there thinking for a while, Chu Ming withdrew the spell, stood up and looked at the history book beside him.
