Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Early the next morning.

Chu Ming arrived at the stables early, where he saw Baron Harold who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"You came."

The man patted Chu Ming on the shoulder and got on his horse.

"No matter what happens these days, don't be surprised and don't interfere."

"After one month, immediately set off for the royal capital. You don't belong here."

Chu Ming nodded silently. On the surface, he obeyed, but in his heart, he had other thoughts.

Obviously, judging from the huge number of crazy knights wandering in the real ruins and wilderness, the crazy knights may have been spread throughout the entire Roton Kingdom, and not just in Black Snake Town.

In other words, even if he goes to the capital, the probability of encountering a crazy knight is not small.

If he doesn't figure it all out before setting off, everything will have to start again after going to the royal capital, and it will become more difficult to find the truth.

"I hope I can gain something from other knights..."

Chu Ming rode on the black horse and followed Baron Harold to the forest border.

On the road, horses galloped past, causing green waves.

After summer arrives, the black and green wheat in the wheat fields on both sides of the road has sprouted its ears.

The forest in the distance gradually became lively. With sufficient blood food, the frequency of dark creatures invading the town gradually decreased.

And the wheat is growing well due to the decrease in the number of dark creatures stepping on the fields.

Seeing that this year is a good harvest year, the Black Snake Knights dare not relax and still insist on going into the forest every day to clean up dark creatures.

Chu Ming also planned to take advantage of the cleaning time to observe the Cavaliers.

Ten minutes later, Chu Ming and Baron Harold arrived at the assembly point.

Several knights have been waiting at the scene for a long time.

"Good morning, Lord Baron, Master Andrew."

Jon, the hunter knight who had previously told Chu Ming about the magic herb, greeted the two of them with a smile.

"Mr. Jon, are you the first to arrive again?"

Chu Ming tied the black horse to the tree stump and walked towards Jon with a smile.

Jon, the hunter knight, said cheerfully: "It's good to arrive early. I can stretch my old bones more and try to kill a few more dark creatures today."

Looking at the old man's kind face, Chu Ming's tense nerves relaxed a little.

But when he got close to Jon, he suddenly felt a trigger, his mind trembled, and his body couldn't help but tense up.

A deadly breath hit his face like needles, and the hair on his body stood up.

This made Chu Ming take a few steps back.

"Master, are you okay?"

Sensing something strange about Chu Ming, Jon asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'll go say hello to the other knights."

Chu Ming calmed down his expression, shook his head, stayed away from Jon, and walked toward the other knights present.

Not far away, Harold sat cross-legged on the ground and watched Chu Ming's actions quietly without stopping him.

A few minutes later, Chu Ming returned to the original place, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.

As expected, all the knights present had been transformed into dark creatures.

"Has even old Jon, who hates dark creatures the most, fallen into darkness..."

Chu Ming thought about it carefully and immediately shook his head.

"Perhaps Jon and these knights are different from Baron Harold. They don't know that they have been transformed."

"Otherwise, based on old Jon's usual performance, I should really give him a Best Actor Award."

It's useless to think too much, just test it and you will know.

Chu Ming restrained his instinct of perception and came to the hunter knight Jon again.

Next to Jon, Knight Gehai, who had just arrived, was telling everyone about his experience in training new knights, laughing at the stupid performance of those new knights.

"Master Andrew, good morning."

After seeing Chu Ming coming over, Ge Hai's eyes lit up and he shook hands with Chu Ming enthusiastically.

Chu Ming kept a smile on his face and complained in his heart: "I didn't expect you, a thick-browed person with big eyes, to be a mole."

"Master, do you want to eat it? This is a cake made by my wife herself. It is delicious."

Ge Hai smiled and opened the linen cloth in his hand and handed over the baked thick bread.

"Thank you, I won't eat it."

Chu Ming declined his kindness, and after saying hello to the knights sitting around, he sat next to Old Jon.

"Mr. Jon, you said before that you were a hunter, right?"

"Yes, young master, do you need my help with anything?" Jon asked doubtfully.

"Sorry, I'm here to expose your scars."

Chu Ming muttered something silently in his heart, then faced Old Qiaoen and secretly observed the expression on his face.

"I heard that the hunting team was disbanded because of dark creatures, and your friend also..."

"..."

Facing Chu Ming's question, Jon was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice:

"That's right, back then we ventured into the forest to hunt in winter in order to hunt snow deer."

"As a result, the hunting team was attacked by dark creatures. They escaped and died. If they had not received timely treatment, maybe I would have been in the forest like them and never come out."

As he spoke, Jon took off his breastplate, exposing his wrinkled skin.

On his body, there was a huge scratch that was half a meter long from his chest to his stomach.

"This is the wound the beast left on me."

"If I had the skills of a knight at that time, maybe I could solve it and they wouldn't have to die." The old man blamed himself.

Chu Ming's eyelids drooped and he apologized: "I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness. It's not your fault."

Seeing that Jon didn't look fake, he confirmed the fact that these knights didn't know that they had become dark creatures.

After coming to this conclusion, Chu Ming felt no joy at finding out the answer, only a little sadness.

Old Jon, Ge Hai and other knights were trapped by dark creatures all their lives. After becoming knights, they fought against dark creatures all their lives. Unexpectedly, in the end, they turned into what they hated most.

How would they react if they knew the truth?

Chu Ming sighed. Sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness. If you think too much, troubles will follow.

Instead of telling everyone the truth, he chose to hide it.

Ten minutes later, looking at the Black Snake Knights who had all arrived and started to assemble, Chu Ming used Black Snake Sense to walk around the team.

After returning to the middle of the team, his heart felt heavy.

The entire knight team has been transformed into dark creatures, and even the new knights have not escaped the fate of being transformed.

No wonder Baron Harold wanted to send him to school in the royal capital.

Given this situation, he might not even know if he was transformed one day.

"There's only one month left."

Chu Ming clenched his fists.

"I want to see who is doing this."

Thinking, he followed the knights into the forest.

Time flies, and a week has passed in the other world.

In the past few days, Chu Ming went out early and came back late. In the morning, he went into the forest with the Cavaliers to clean up dark creatures, and in the afternoon, he returned to Black Snake Town to investigate secretly.

Unfortunately, except for the knight who was transformed into a dark creature, he did not find anyone or anything unusual in the town.

A whole week and nothing.

"Logically speaking, I have searched through the entire Black Snake Town, and I haven't even spared a mouse. How come there are no results..."

"Is he hiding in some farmhouse or hunting lodge?"

On the training ground, Chu Ming waved his long sword over and over again, slashing Melancholy onto the wooden stakes.

All along, there was always a shadow of crisis lingering in his heart, making him unable to let go.

After a while, he suddenly noticed that the knights training around him had hurried expressions and were walking out.

"What happened?"

Chu Ming asked one of the knights.

The knight looked nervous and said: "I heard that the knights were attacked by dark creatures and some knights were injured."

"Even Lord Baron..."

Chu Ming was stunned, immediately mounted his black horse and rushed towards the forest border.
