Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

After an afternoon of discussion, Chu Ming and Miguel planned a new route and set the departure time for tomorrow morning.

The Justice Mercenary Group will also give up going to the Country of Migliorini to reopen the mercenary guild, and return to the Clinton Kingdom with Chu Ming, and with the help of Chu Ming, they will try to gain a foothold.

Early the next morning, a dark and exquisite carriage stopped at the entrance of the royal city. The one-horned blood horse with magical blood sneezed and shook his head. After Chu Ming comforted the horse, he turned to look not far away. Aiman.

This one-horned blood horse was obtained by Aiman ​​from other mage tower masters at a lot of favors. The one-horned blood horse with magical bloodline not only has far more durability than ordinary horses, but also has blue-level power. Cast some spells and defend the carriage.

Chu Ming looked at Aiman ​​who was waving to him with his hands behind his back, "Teacher Aiman, I'm leaving."

Irina also poked her head out of the carriage and waved, "We're leaving."

Aiman ​​waved his hand, "Go ahead and don't embarrass me when you go back."

Chu Ming chuckled and said: "Teacher, don't worry, this time I return to the Brick family, I am going to inherit the epic knight. Maybe when I come back, you can see me promoted to epic."

Aiman ​​nodded absently and threw a notebook over, "Take this, there are some notes of other wood epic mages in it. If you encounter any problems in cultivation, you can read it. Maybe it can answer your questions. .”

"There is also this memory crystal, which I applied to the law enforcer. It contains thousands of wood spell models. If you want to imprint spells, you can search for it from inside. But don't forget, you need to bring it when you come back. Return this memory crystal to the Master Council."

The old man carefully took out a metal box engraved with magic patterns from his pocket. The magic patterns on it shone slightly, containing the crystals inside.

"Memory crystal?"

The expression on Chu Ming's face was stunned. If he remembered correctly, the memory crystal is the core of memory dolls such as Mattie. After being carved with logical magic patterns, it has the ability to inherit human memories and run them.

He took the metal box from the old man's hand, opened it and took a look. The crystal engraved with magic patterns was bright and clear, and the light inside was flowing in an orderly manner, like a running human brain.

The existing memory crystals are all man-made, and the quality of the crystals can also be divided into high and low levels. The memory crystal in his hand is of extremely high quality. It is not difficult to record thousands of spells, and there is even a lot of space left.

In fact, because the memory crystal in his hand has a different purpose, it is more appropriate to call it a memory inheritance crystal. It does not have the ability of ordinary memory crystals to run memories, and is more like a container for storing knowledge and memory.

Under normal circumstances, the mage meeting will not allow the magic knowledge of the Violet Principality to be leaked outside the principality in any form, but the law enforcers actually agreed to Aiman ​​using memory crystals to record spells, and allowed Chu Ming to carry them out of the royal city. Is this true? This means that the Mage Council is not sure how to deal with the things deep in the Thorn Flower County, so it relaxes the restrictions of knowledge and wants to spread the knowledge in the form of fire...

When Chu Ming thought of this, a heavy feeling flashed in his heart, but he quickly concealed his expression and smiled at Aiman ​​and said: "Teacher, if you don't have a good time in the Royal City, you can come to Clinton Kingdom to find me. Maybe I can still survive." Let Duke Brick come out to greet you."

Hearing this, Aiman ​​smiled and scolded: "Okay, stop talking nonsense here, kid, and leave quickly."

"goodbye teacher."

Chu Ming waved goodbye to him, waved the reins, and the carriage gradually drove out of the gate of the royal city.

Aiman ​​stood at the door and watched the dark carriage gradually go away. He shook his head, turned around, and walked into the street alone.

After the carriage left the city, Chu Ming saw a carriage stopping on the streets of the old city. Sitting on the horse was Crono's knight Aiqi.

"Ren, why did you come out?"

Crono poked his head out of the carriage.

Chu Ming waved his hand and said, "We were delayed a bit on the way. Let's go. The mercenary group should be with us."

…

In order to organize the convoy and prepare for travel, the mercenary group led by Miguel got up in the early morning to inventory supplies and register the convoy list.

The carriage team had already been prepared. After Chu and Ming arrived at the street of the employment guild, the team set off immediately in a hurry.

Since Chu Ming still needed to practice in normal times and Irina was too young, he handed over the job of using the horned blood horse to other knights in the mercenary group.

In the carriage team, every horse is fat and strong, and almost all of them have a faint trace of magic blood. This is already a good horse that the Corps can buy on the market.

As for the one-horned horse like Chu Ming that can reveal different appearances, it is simply not something that the mercenary group can buy. This kind of magic horse is generally only equipped by the kingdom's army or some relatively wealthy chambers of commerce.

The magic legion under the Violet Principality's Wizards' Conference can use contracted epic creatures as transportation and war tools. There is no need to equip magic horses, so that the number of magic horses in the Violet Principality is not large, and they are generally obtained from other large-scale magic horses. Introduced from the Kingdom of the Grasslands.

After starting their journey, the horses were in high spirits and in excellent condition. To Chu Ming's surprise, it only took them a month to reach the border between the Violet Principality and the Southern Kingdom.

Near the border town, the carriage team left the town after replenishing supplies. On the way, Chu Ming turned back and looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar land behind him. A few years ago, Renn also took this route to study in the Violet Principality. At that time, he was still a dark green knight who was not favored by his family and had mediocre qualifications. Even after entering the Violet King City, he struggled for several months because of his mediocre mage qualifications, and was finally accepted by Aiman.

Now, more than six years have passed, and his knights and mages have both reached dark blue, and their true strength has reached a point where they can compete with epics.

In the carriage, Chu Ming recalled the past and clenched his fists, "This power is enough. With my identity as a member of the Brick tribe, it should not be difficult to obtain the inheritance of the epic knight."

"I don't know what the knight's inheritance that can directly reach the three-star epic level is like. There are also arcane swordsmanship that I have never been exposed to, which is worth looking forward to."

To be honest, after receiving the magic pattern, Chu Ming's physical strength has grown to the limit and has reached the point where there is no further progress. The study of secret techniques is also very easy for him. As long as he wants, he can even push it by himself. Perform an epic part of the Cloud Thunder Knight legacy.

It's just that the knight inheritance he deduced has many problems, and it can only stay at the one-star epic level. After all, he himself has only seen the one-star epic knight inheritance...

When the knight's power is unable to advance, practicing meditation has become the best choice at present.

Master Tuairi's tower belongs to the element-oriented sect, and the meditation methods passed down are also related to elements. For example, the meditation method Chu Ming practiced before is called the universal meditation method of elements, which can adapt to the practice of mages with different elemental talents.

However, the universal meditation method for elements does not have the part after the epic. In fact, in order to pursue higher cultivation efficiency or stronger combat capabilities, the meditation methods above the epic have different difficulties in constructing the magic external brain according to different elements... etc. Various epic meditation methods with varying abilities have been developed in various aspects.

For example, there are elemental meditation methods that can amplify the mage's elemental spells and add magical effects to magic. There are magic meditation methods that can reduce the difficulty of building a magic external brain. There are also various mental abilities that can make magic more malleable and improve mental sensitivity. The number of spiritual meditation methods...the number of various meditation methods is staggering.

For Chu Ming, it is not difficult to build a magic external brain. The magic meditation method is useless to him. The spiritual meditation method that can improve mental sensitivity is actually prepared for mages who study magic patterns, magic circles, spell models and other magic technologies. Yes, they need to perform more subtle operations on spirit and magic, so they need to increase their mental sensitivity.

After choosing in the mage tower, he finally chose the Wood God meditation method, which is more popular among the elemental sect.

The so-called wood god meditation method has a very simple effect after being practiced. It can intuitively strengthen the mage's wood spells and improve the effectiveness of the spells.

Chu Ming sat cross-legged in the carriage and took a long breath. He glanced at Irina who was sleeping soundly on the leather seat, and then slowly closed his eyes.

The darkness came like a tide, and Chu Ming felt extremely peaceful.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of crashing waves rang in his ears. Chu Ming opened his eyes, and he once again returned to the world built by the spiritual sea.

He looked in front of him, and in front of the beach, the blue waves were surging, flowing with his mind.

Chu Ming stepped in and reached the center of the ocean in an instant. Above his head, the red bloodline secret key exuded a soft light, and slightly imperceptible fluctuations floated out from above and penetrated into his spirit. .

“Let’s start building the magical external brain from here.”

Different from the dream outer brain that Chu Ming built when he was a wizard, the construction of the magical outer brain is completed in the spiritual sea. After the construction of the magical outer brain is completed, as long as the subsequent manifestation steps are successful, the structure of the outer brain can withstand the chaos of the outside world. Under the test of magical environment, a mage can be promoted to an epic.

On the contrary, if the magical outer brain collapses, the mage's years of hard work will be in vain, and the foundation of the spiritual sea may also be damaged.

Chu Ming stood in mid-air and thought for a while, constantly recalling the contents of the Wood God Meditation Method in his mind.

The epic meditation method is said to be a meditation method, but in fact it is more like an instruction manual for brain assembly. The content of mental operation is secondary. There is so much content about the construction of the magical external brain that it is mind-numbing.

If Chu Ming hadn't had a permanent memory and memorized the contents of the meditation method in advance, he might still be holding a thick book, reading while trying to build a model.

"No wonder it often takes decades for these mages to build their magical external brain. It seems to be quite troublesome. Although it is safer than the dream meditation method and greatly reduces the risk of the mage dying due to developing dreams, the efficiency is also reduced too much. too much."

"But fortunately, after the return of magic power, the lifespan of human beings has also increased a lot, giving humans the capital to slowly cultivate."

Chu Ming shook his head, and his thoughts returned to the content of building magic power in the Wood God Meditation Method.

Generally speaking, at least one million magic units are needed to build a magic external brain. One million magic units is the requirement for the magic meditation method that simplifies the construction of the external brain structure. The Mu Shen meditation method practiced by Chu Ming belongs to the element Although the meditation method does not come with some strange effects, it still requires nearly two million magic units to complete the construction of the magic external brain.

It is this nearly doubled difference in magic power units that allows the magic external brain constructed by the Wood God Meditation Method to have the ability to amplify wood spells, and the upper limit of mental power is also much higher than that of a mage who practices the Magic Meditation Method.

Generally speaking, compared with the elemental meditation method, the so-called magic meditation method is a beggar version of the epic meditation method developed for less talented mages. Although the magic meditation method can also complete the construction of the magic external brain, their combat capabilities In this aspect, it is still far behind the mages who practice elemental meditation.

Of course, in addition to the elemental meditation method, the spiritual meditation method used by mages who study magic circles, magic patterns and other magic techniques also has various magical spiritual properties. The number of magic units that need to be constructed is not much greater than that of the elemental meditation method. .

For example, Chu Ming once saw a spiritual meditation method that focuses on increasing mental capacity - the Divine Confusion Meditation Method. The number of magic units needed to build the magic external brain can reach a terrifying number of four million, which is close to the epic two-star requirement. The minimum quantity is five million.

But for Chu Ming, there is no need at all. The mental capacity after the completion of the Divine Confusion Meditation Method is less than twice the mental capacity of the Divine Tree Meditation Method, and the Divine Tree Meditation Method also has the effect of amplifying spells.

For Chu Ming, who has top-level wood talent, any weak elemental amplification that falls on him will be amplified. The wood spell amplification effect of the Shenmu Meditation Method will have a more significant effect when he uses it on spells. , he does not need to blindly pursue the upper limit of mental power.

"The magic brain with a volume of two million is a big challenge for me. It will take at least five years to complete."

Chu Ming shook his head and stretched out his right hand. Some tiny light spots floated out and connected together to form a concave character model.

This is a basic magic unit. There are forty-one types of magic units like this. When the magic units are combined, they can form various magic modules with different functions. After the magic modules are connected in a certain order, they can Become a magic ribbon.

For example, the magic logic area can convert Chu Ming's mental fluctuations into the external brain language that the magic external brain can understand, and help Chu Ming better command the entire magic external brain.

In addition, there is an ability area that occupies a quarter of the entire magical outer brain. When the magical outer brain is triggered, it can resonate with the mental model released by Chu Ming and amplify the fluctuations of the mental model, causing It can evoke greater magic power, and the specific manifestation is that the power of the spell is enhanced.

"Each mage has a different way of building a magic brain. Some people like to build it as a whole, directly from the beginning to the end. Some people like to build it in a modular way, first building each magic module and then putting it together."

"Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Different magic brain models have different applicable methods."

"There is no clear construction method in the content of the Mu Shen Meditation Method. In order to pursue stability, I can try to use a modular method to build it. This method is more efficient for me."

While Chu Ming was thinking, he used his mental power to stir up the magic power and build a magic unit.

There are a total of five magic functional areas of the Shenmu Meditation Method, and the total magic modules add up to more than 7,000.

He plans to start with the two thousand magic modules in the elemental amplification ability area, and try to complete the construction and practice within a year and a half.

…

The carriage convoy drove out of the border of the Violet Kingdom and entered the Simon Kingdom on the route from the Violet Kingdom to the Clinton Kingdom.

Unlike the Violet Principality, where there are obviously more humans than other races, the top four races in the Simon Kingdom include, in addition to the human race, the goblin race, the feather race, and the fox race, which are humanoid races.

The journey was long, and Chu Ming still had plenty of time. Practicing alone could not increase the efficiency of his training. He left the training to build the magic external brain until night. During the day, he used it to train the mercenary group and admire Simon. The style of the kingdom is on.

It has to be said that the Simon Kingdom is worthy of being called the Kingdom of Beauty. In the cities that the carriage convoy passes by, Chu Ming can often see beauties from the Feathered Tribe with snow-white wings like angels, or foxes with tails wagging, and the degree of alienation is relatively high. A lowly vixen beauty.

Unlike the feathered people who were native to southern Xinjiang, the fox people of Simon Kingdom moved here from the distant orc empire.

In the orc empire, which is dominated by tribes and preys on the weak, being weak means becoming a slave or food. Although the magic talent of the fox people can be considered to be above average, their clan has always been coveted and suppressed by other tribes, and they have no contact at all. Without any knowledge of magic, one can only become a slave.

Hundreds of years ago, the fox tribe and the Feng Yang Empire cooperated with each other to defeat the attack of the orc empire. The fox tribe was also liberated. Some tribesmen fled to the Feng Yang Empire, while others fled to the Simon Kingdom.

Due to historical reasons, Simon Kingdom is more open and tolerant than other single-race kingdoms.

Of course, this is only for humanoids. After all, the aesthetics of humans and humanoids are basically the same, and the differences are small. If the ogre tribe in the wild claims to join the Simon Kingdom, they will probably be wiped out by the city guards before they enter the city. .

…

Half a month later, at the public training ground in Feweather, a city in the central part of the Simon Kingdom.

Miguel raised his long sword and attacked Chu Ming, and golden light burst out from his body, drawing three sword lights.

Chu Ming did not dodge, but stretched out his hand and flicked it. The air instantly stagnated, and layers of shock waves appeared, instantly dispersing the sword light.

Chu Ming nodded slightly and said: "Yes, compared with before, there has been a lot of progress."
