Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

Dipu opened the cabinet next to him and took out a black wooden box. Then he looked at Chu Ming.

"The outside world is not as good as you think."

As he spoke, the old man's wrinkled hands opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing the dark items wrapped in cloth strips inside.

"If you are in trouble, water it with blood. It might save your life."

Chu Ming looked curious and took the thing wrapped in the cloth into his hands.

Beside him, the history books were turning over the pages, and new cards appeared.

[Dried meat pieces that seal witchcraft]

[Quality: Dark Blue]

[Skill: Night Travel]

Dipu clasped his hands together, and without waiting for Chu Ming to ask, he said: "This is a bloodline item specially made from the flesh and blood of the dark creature Night Ghost. It can only be used once, so cherish it."

Chu Ming looked surprised and bowed his head slightly to thank Dipu.

After he came out, he still stared at the withered flesh and blood in his hands.

"I didn't expect Dipu to be willing to give me dark blue quality bloodline items."

"It seems I'm really important to him."

After thinking for a moment, he walked towards the stairs.

…

Early the next morning.

At the entrance to the wizard's tower.

Chu Ming and Edel leaned against the wall and waited quietly for the slaves to lead the donkeys and horses out of the backyard.

"I haven't been out for half a year. I'm almost suffocated."

Edel looked relaxed and looked forward to the next trip.

"Indeed, I have almost forgotten what it feels like to be in the sun."

Chu Ming sighed and saw that the slaves had already led the donkeys and horses. He gave an order and everyone lined up and walked towards the back of the wizard tower.

The wizard's tower faced the depths of the dark forest. If they wanted to leave the forest, they had to follow the path and go north in the opposite direction to the door.

Thumb, thump, thump...

The horses stepped on the stone path, and the sound of horse hooves became louder.

Chu Ming looked back at the wizard tower, which was obscured by black fog and became increasingly blurry, and then continued walking north.

Four hours later, it was noon.

The group of people rested for a while in the dark forest and continued to move forward. During this period, there were several attacks by dark creatures. These dark creatures were all strangled to death by Chu Ming using witchcraft.

Continuing forward, the black fog ahead becomes thinner and thinner. You can already see the sun shining through the black fog, leaving mottled tree shadows on the ground.

Chu Ming's tense nerves relaxed a little, and soon he walked out of the forest and onto the vast loess road.

He looked forward and saw bright sunshine everywhere he looked. The loess road was undulating and winding like yellow silk spread on the green ground, spreading towards the villages in the distance.

Edel took a deep breath of air. What entered his mouth and nose was no longer the rotten smell of dead branches and leaves, but fresh air.

"Hahaha, it's still comfortable outside."

Chu Ming's nose twitched slightly, and he did feel something different.

Looking back at the dark and deep dark forest, Chu Ming shook his head, mounted his horse, and walked slowly towards the village.

Edel seemed a little excited to see people other than the Wizard Tower right away, but he soon realized something was wrong.

"Narende, the village in front seems a bit rundown."

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes and asked the servant next to him: "Did you purchase supplies in this village before?"

The servant quickly replied: "Back to Lord Narender, we came to this village for purchasing a few months ago."

"But in recent months, other apprentices have taken us in a different direction to purchase goods in other villages, and we now don't know the situation in this village."

"We'll find out if we go and take a look." Chu Ming glanced at Edel, "Edel, you lead the team, I'll go over and take a look first."

After saying that, Chu Ming tightened his grip on the horse's belly, the reins made a sound, and he ran along the loess road.

As he gradually approached the village, Chu Ming found that the area was desolate and the wheat fields were deserted and overgrown with weeds.

Some mud houses had even collapsed, and clothes stained with yellow pus were torn into rags and scattered all over the ground.

Chu Ming stopped in front of the village, tied his horse to a wooden stake, and walked in.

In the village, everything is lonely. Except for the chirping of birds among the green leaves of the old trees in the center of the village, the whole village is lifeless.

Chu Ming frowned, came to the stone well piled with stones, and took a look inside.

Under the well, there are dense spider webs, and dead branches and leaves fallen from the old trees are floating on the green well water.

"This well should not have been used for a long time, which means that the people in this village may have ran away a few months ago."

"Is it because of the plague?"

Chu Ming sighed, walked out of the village, and met the approaching team.

Edel looked inside and asked, "What's going on inside?"

"Maybe it was because of the plague that all the villagers ran away."

Chu Ming shook his head helplessly.

"There are no other villages on this road. It seems that we have to move on and go to the nearby town of Moore to purchase."

Edel said nonchalantly: "It's only a two-day journey. I'd rather go back later."

"Come on, let's keep going."

Chu Ming mounted his horse, covered his eyes with his hands, and looked at the scorching sun high in the sky.

"It's best if you can find a place to spend the night before dark."

…

The group continued moving forward, and soon two days passed.

Along the way, except for some deer and roe deer jumping on the road, they did not see any living people.

After arriving near the town of Moore, they saw farmers working in the surrounding farms.

Not far away, a windmill rotates with the wind, and smoke rises.

They were almost reaching their destination, and everyone's sleepy spirits were shaken, and they soon entered the town.

In the small town, people were coming and going, but it was not as lively as Chu Ming imagined.

Many people walking through it have deformed parts on their bodies, and it seems that the deformation has spread to this small town.

However, these people were in better spirits than he imagined and did not panic.

“Is it because of Life Church?”

Chu Ming looked far and wide, looking past the layers of brick and tile houses to the church steeple in the center of the town.

Walking into the town, he didn't look back until the spire was obscured by other houses.

After finding a hotel next to the street, the group stopped.

Chu Ming smiled and said: "It's hard to come out once, let's hang out here for a few days first."

Edel nodded in agreement, "If I didn't want to become a wizard, I wouldn't want to stay in the dark forest."

After the two reached an agreement, they booked several rooms in the hotel.

In order to prevent the slaves from escaping, one person needed to be left to guard them, so Edel took the initiative to stay and made an agreement with Chu Ming to take turns guarding them.

Chu Ming naturally had no objection. After taking the dried meat pieces given by Dipu with him, he went out and walked in the direction of the Church of Life.

The reason why he planned to stay in Moore Town for so long this time was to find out about the Church of Life and to see what the so-called divine magic was like.

Passing through the bustling crowd, Chu Ming and a group of panic-stricken residents covered with sarcoma merged into the same road and walked towards the church.

Chu Ming's eyes searched the crowd and landed on a man.

He squeezed through the crowd and grabbed the man's shoulder. "Excuse me, sir, what are you doing at church?"

There was an impatient look on the man's face, and he was about to turn around and scold him. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Chu Ming's gray robe.

He paused in his heart and said: "Don't you know, today the Saint of the Church of Life will come to Moore Town. Everyone has gone there to worship. If you can get the healing gift of the Saint, you don't have to spend money on the church." Those priests went to cure diseases that could never be cured.”

Chu Ming's expression moved and he let go of the man's shoulder.

If the saint's treatment could really completely cure the deformity, then he would really have to take a serious look.

Following the crowd into the square of the tall white stone church, Chu Ming found a relatively spacious corner and stopped.

"Having said that, the card weaving of the Destiny Loom contains a certain element of luck, and the cards connected by fate are all random."

"But if the environment is changed, maybe we can weave some different cards."

For example, if the square of the Life Church where he is currently located can have a destiny connection with an item in the church, he will make a lot of money.

After thinking about it, Chu Ming opened the history book and focused his eyes on the [Weaving Card], and the 100 points of life disappeared.

A strange feeling came to his mind, and Chu Ming looked at the church out of nowhere.

"Success?"

But just like the first time, there were no changes in the surroundings, as if the time had not come yet.
