Mythic Card Master: Start with a Knight

Chapter 259 The Progress of the Corps

After communicating with the knights, Chu Ming left the woods and let them think for themselves.

Seeing Chu Ming leave, Nathan got up quickly and followed in Chu Ming's footsteps.

"Ren."

Nathan waved his hand behind and called Chu Ming to stop.

The man's long fox ears twitched slightly, and he asked curiously: "Then, can a person pass the first test after practicing the secret technique?"

Chu Ming looked back at Nathan, spread his arms and said, "Whether you can pass the first test or not depends on yourself. The secret method is just a foreign object."

"The secret method of Lieyang focuses on the will, the upper limit is extremely high, and the lower limit is ridiculously low. If you don't have a firm belief, this secret method will only drag you down."

Nathan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he automatically ignored the lower limit of the Lieyang Secret Art, "The upper limit is extremely high, so how high can it be?"

Chu Ming showed a half-smile expression, "Let me tell you this, I once saw a blue knight who used the blazing sun secret method and showed his strength to touch the epic. The dark blue knight practiced the blazing sun secret method and reached My strength is not impossible."

Nathan asked curiously, "Have you also practiced the secret method of the scorching sun?"

"It's not necessary for me."

Chu Ming shook his head.

"The secret method of the scorching sun in my hand is only up to the part of the epic one star, and there will be no more after that."

"What I gave the knight to practice just now is the secret method of the part below dark blue. There is no rush for the epic part. These guys are still too weak."

Nathan paused in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "See if I can also practice the Fierce Sun Secret Art. I need the complete secret art including the epic part."

A somewhat surprised expression appeared on Chu Ming's face, "Why don't you learn your own secret technique and come here to learn a secret technique that only has one star part of epic?"

The fox knight shrank back in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Ren, you think highly of me too. The secret method I practiced before was the knight training secret method issued by the city hall. How can I get access to the epic secret method."

"Besides, I am satisfied to be able to advance to the epic, and the subsequent realm has nothing to do with me."

Chu Ming suddenly realized and smiled softly.

After getting along with those epic knights in Violet King City for a long time, he almost thought that the inheritance of epic knights was very common.

He just remembered that although Nathan's aptitude is quite good, but he was born in the countryside, without the support of a big force, it is still very difficult to get in touch with the inheritance of the epic knight.

Chu Ming put his hands behind his back and said, "However, you have joined the mercenary regiment, and I won't hide it anymore."

"It's just that I didn't extract the secret method of this epic part. After the carriage starts, you come to me and I will teach you in person."

Nathan's eyes were full of surprises, and he put his arm on Chu Ming's shoulder excitedly, "My good team leader, it's up to you."

Chu Ming took a step back calmly, "My request to you is the same as theirs. You must pass the first test before reaching Clinton Kingdom."

The fox knight patted his furry chest, and said to himself: "Of course, the first trial is just a little difficult for me."

Chu Ming glanced at him, and he didn't know who looked downcast after failing the challenge yesterday, and he regained his confidence after only one day passed.

But having confidence is a good thing. The Fierce Sun Secret Technique itself is a secret technique that focuses on the mind and will, and it is not good if it is too decadent.

Nathan's performance saved him a lot of effort.

Compared with Nathan, the knights of the corps have weaker beliefs. They are mediocre people themselves. After half their lives, it is not easy for them to have the passionate and upward mentality of young people. If you want to change their thinking and build up confidence , still have to come step by step.

Just now, Chu Ming had established a strong image in front of the knights of the Corps, and also expressed his absolute confidence in allowing them to pass the first trial.

Even if these guys have no confidence in themselves, they will believe what he says.

It can be said that Chu Ming is now the spiritual pillar for the knights of the Corps to strengthen their strength. Although they don't know where they will go in the future, since Chu Ming led them forward, they only need to follow in Chu Ming's footsteps.

As long as the pillar of Chu Ming is still there, the faith of the knights of the Corps will not be broken, and they will even regain confidence in the progress of the knights, and reappear the brilliance of the secret method of the sun on the land of southern border.

……

After a period of rest, the carriage continued to drive south.

The difference from before was that Chu Ming would spare time at noon every day to answer the knights' doubts about practicing the Rieter Sun Secret Technique, and secretly pour some chicken soup for these guys by the way.

Half a month later, the carriage team left the Simon Kingdom and entered the atrium. They were greeted by a human kingdom named Yap. The wind prevailed, bringing together many dwarf craftsmen.

As a kingdom close to the Principality of Violet, the Yap Kingdom is also very popular in the mage profession. Under the joint research of craftsmen and mages, the magical magic-weave armor technology was born here.

After the knight wears the magic pattern armor, it is like having the magic pattern circuit of the magic knight. It can release a variety of spells to assist in the battle, greatly enhancing the knight's strength, so that the dark green knight can easily defeat the dark blue knight.

However, although the magic pattern armor technology is good, there are many shortcomings, such as the technology is not mature enough, the cost is expensive, it is easy to damage, and the upper limit is not high...

In any case, the appearance of the magic pattern armor is a good thing after all, it can help human beings to better fight against the darkness.

In fact, Chu Ming is still very excited about the so-called magic pattern armor. Without him, the appearance of the magic pattern armor is several blocks away from those traditional armors. The combination of the armor and the flashing purple magic pattern is full of futuristic sense.

After entering the city of Puya Kingdom, Chu Ming also specifically asked the craftsman of the magic pattern armor. After learning the outrageous price of the magic pattern armor, Chu Ming's fiery heart was temporarily extinguished.

Fortunately, Krono saw Chu Ming's heartbeat. The man said that although the magic-weave armor technology of Reran Kingdom is not strong, but the mere magic-weave armor can be made, he threatened to give Chu Ming a pair of magic-weave armor later patterned armor.

In the city of Petrit, Chu Ming took the horse team and found a hotel to stay temporarily.

With the help of Chu Ming, the knights of the Corps made rapid progress. In just over half a month, they had initially mastered the secret method of the scorching sun, and they could use the secret method in actual combat.

The horse team stayed in Petrit for two days. During these two days, the knights of the corps tried to invite the knights in the city to conduct trials.

But there is nothing else, no one can pass the trial, and they are all defeated by their opponents.

Chu Ming was not surprised by this, the knights of the Corps had only initially mastered the secret method of the scorching sun, and the level of knights was so low that even Jiyi couldn't use it.

Just like the knights who practice the mystic arts, the Solar Knights also have no way to activate the Ultimate Intent before they reach the level of the dark green Great Knights.

However, the Fierce Sun Secret Art itself is a magical secret art born from spiritual power. Even if there is no extreme intention, the knight can improve his own strength by strengthening his spiritual power and strengthening his will.

The purpose of Chu Ming letting the knights of the Corps to conduct the trial in advance is just to let them get used to the secret method of Lieyang and change the way of fighting in the past. He has no expectation that they can pass the trial.

After the knights failed in the trial, under Chu Ming's guidance, they gradually discovered their own problems. Only then did they wake up, and the knight habits they had taken for granted before were so outrageously wrong.

Although the knights suffered repeated defeats in the battle, in just two days, their speed of progress was so fast that they even surprised themselves.

This restored the confidence of everyone who had been hit after failing the trial, and they worked harder in their cultivation.

Seeing that the knights of the Corps had gradually digested the results of practicing the Lieyang Secret Technique, and there was no need to stay in the city, Chu Ming directed the carriage to continue southward.

Another month passed, and during this period of time, the strength of the knights increased rapidly, and four knights even broke through to the dark green level.

Seeing a knight break through, the other knights also cheered up. The increase in strength gave them a little more confidence in their hearts, and they looked forward to the next challenge trial.

It's just that the horse team rarely stayed in the city for a whole month, even if they were going to purchase supplies, Chu Ming only let the horse team stay for half a day, and didn't give the knights a chance to try, so they hurried on their way.

Finally, when he was about to leave the Yap Kingdom, the knight couldn't bear it anymore and asked Miguel to find him.

Beside the bonfire, Chu Ming roasted the wild fish the knight had caught by the river and handed it to Irina.

The little maid secretly swallowed, shook her head and said, "Master, you eat first."

Chu Ming forcibly stuffed the grilled fish skewers into the girl's hand, intentionally or unintentionally showing off the fish in the other hand that hadn't started grilling yet.

"Master wants to eat a big fish, this one is too small, I'll give it to you."

Irina held the small wooden stick for the grilled fish and looked at the fish in Chu Ming's hand. When she saw that the fish was indeed bigger than the one in her hand, she felt relieved, thanked happily, and hugged the grilled fish Started eating.

Seeing Irina eating so deliciously, Chu Ming smiled faintly, and then he turned his eyes on the bonfire, flipping the fish.

At this moment, Miguel came over. The man sat next to Chu Ming with a bit of anxiety on his face.

Before he could figure out how to speak, Chu Ming smiled and asked without looking sideways: "Miguel, you should come to me for something."

Miguel paused in his heart, he hesitated and said: "The brothers in the corps feel that their strength has improved a lot, and they want to challenge the God of War trial again... But the carriage has not stopped for a month, and they can't find it. to the opportunity."

The smile on Chu Ming's face remained unchanged, "It's really time for the carriage to stop. Let's stop at the next city on the route, just to test their cultivation achievements."

Seeing that Chu Ming agreed so readily, Miguel couldn't help wondering whether Chu Ming had expected him to come.

But since Chu Ming agreed, he didn't think too much. After talking with Chu Ming a few more words, he went to the bonfire where the knights gathered and told the good news to others.

Krono, who was sitting opposite to Chu Ming, gnawed on the baked rough bread, and said cheerfully: "I didn't expect you to be good at raising knights, and I don't know what your family thinks, but let you out, but if you If you don't come to the Violet Principality, you probably won't be able to discover your mage talent in this life, this fate is really wonderful."

The grilled fish on the bonfire rack was sizzling, Chu Ming turned his face over, shook his head and said, "If you are a normal knight, under my teaching, you should have broken through."

"The knights of the mercenary regiment are indeed diligent enough, but the knight talent is still lacking after all."

"However, I believe this situation will change soon. After heading to the next city, I estimate that there should be some knights among the knights of the corps who will pass the first trial."

Kronor froze for a moment, "You expected it a long time ago?"

Chu Ming smiled and said, "The reason why I don't let the horse team stay in the city this month is to wait for them to come to me."

"A knight came to me, which means that he has the confidence to challenge the first trial."

Krono rubbed his chin, "Speaking of which, the next city should enter the Reran Kingdom. The dwarf knights there are not easy to deal with. Compared with humans, dwarf knights will suffer a lot in terms of height, but Their physical strength is generally stronger than human knights of the same level, so it is still very troublesome to deal with."

Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. It will take about two months for the horse team to reach the Clinton Kingdom. There is still plenty of time. I am afraid that the opponent is not strong enough. The stronger the gatekeeper is, the more knights will get through the pass. The gift of the gods will be richer."

"I believe that after all the knights of the Knight Order pass the first trial, their strength will usher in a qualitative leap."

Kronor enviously said: "Damn it, when will there be a mage trial."

Chu Ming glanced at him, "Don't you have magic patterns, which are almost equivalent to half a knight, and you can also participate in the God of War trial."

Kronor quickly waved his hand, "I'm only half-baked. I can't even beat ordinary dark blue knights, so let's forget it."

Chu Ming flipped the grilled fish and shook his head, "I don't know if the magic pattern armor is part of the knight's power. You can try it after you go back, just in case it passes."

"That's right, hehe..."

……

Eight days later, the horse convoy crossed the border of the Puya Kingdom and entered the Reran Kingdom. Compared with other kingdom cities, the cities of the Dwarf Kingdom are unique. They like to hang flags with gold patterns and red backgrounds on the city walls and streets. In fact, even the city's buildings and streets are smaller than normal human cities. After the carriage enters the city, it is like entering a town in a fairy tale.

There were not many humans coming and going in the dwarf city, and caravans seldom passed by. Chu Ming and his party walked on the street in a dense mass, and their tall figures caught the attention of passers-by.

Fortunately, there was a local named Krono in the team, and they were not troubled and checked into the hotel smoothly.

After getting everything ready, Chu Ming walked out of the hotel with the knights of the Corps.

His eyes moved and settled on Ai Qi.

"Krono and I are going to take the knights of the regiment to the training ground. I'll leave it to you here. If anything happens, come to us immediately."

Ai Qi solemnly saluted the knight, "Lord Ren, don't worry, I will leave this place to me."

"Well, Amy helped me keep an eye on Irina."

Chu Ming waved to the girls beside him, and led the regiment towards the training ground.

……

"Hey, is that the human knights?"

"It looks so strange."

"They look so fierce."

Chu Ming led dozens of knights through the street, the skin on both sides was slightly wrinkled, and the dwarves who looked like old children started discussing in low voices.

This dwarf city is not considered prosperous, and there are very few human caravans staying here. The dwarf citizens suddenly saw such a large formation of human knights, and couldn't help but become curious.

Chu Ming's ears moved slightly, and the strange words of the surrounding dwarf citizens came into his mind.

He asked Cronow, "What language do they speak?"

"The local Hezat dwarven language."

Crono shrugged.

"In fact, they can speak a common language more or less, but they don't usually like to speak it."

"Sir, you seem to know us very well."

In front of everyone, a team of dwarf knights wearing heavy armor and carrying a giant hammer came over.

The head of the burly dwarf looked at the document handed to him by the city gate guard, and he asked cautiously, "Are you a mercenary group from the Violet Principality? Why are you running around in the city?"

Kronor gave Chu Ming a look. He stepped forward and saluted the dwarf, "My lord, Kronor Harlowin, can you tell me your honorable name, Your Excellency the Knight?"

Facing Kronor, the dwarf knight felt a sense of familiarity in his heart, and he softened his face and said, "Jim Thunderhammer."

"You should be a human noble in the southern city, why are you with this mercenary group?"

Krono explained with a smile: "I just came back from studying in the Violet Principality, and the mercenary group behind me happened to be on my way."

Jim hummed.

"It's okay, don't wander around in the city, the residents here rarely see humans, don't scare them."

The dwarf knight turned around and was about to leave, when Kronor suddenly felt moved and asked Jim: "Your Excellency Jim, the knights behind me are all qualified to participate in the trial of God of War, and they are looking for opponents for the trial. , I don’t know what candidates you have.”

"Oh?" The dwarf knight turned back and became interested in an instant, "I didn't expect that the trial of the God of War was spread to the Violet Principality, and even the knights from the Violet Principality knew about it?"

"If you are looking for a test opponent, you are asking the right person. Come with me. Many soldiers in the military camp are struggling to find an opponent."

After Jim finished speaking, the knights in front of him made way for him, and he walked ahead, leading the city knights and mercenaries to the barracks.

Behind Chu Ming, when the knights heard that they were about to face the dwarven warriors, they became a lot more disturbed.

Not to mention the duel with dwarf knights, they rarely even saw dwarves when they were in the Violet Principality. Facing such an unknown enemy, everyone was still a little nervous.

Seemingly sensing the change in the mood of the knights, Chu Ming turned his face sideways and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

　My head is dizzy today, and it took me a long time to finish writing [-] words.
