Mythical Card Master: Start with the Knight

"Okay."

The landlady smiled with narrowed eyes and led Chu and Ming upstairs.

Returning to the dilapidated room, the woman rummaged around on the wall cabinet for a while, then placed a pile of card materials in the middle of the floor.

"The construction of the resonance ceremony takes about half an hour. It takes a bit long. You can go out for a while first."

Chu Ming shook his head and looked at the pile of card materials in the middle of the floor.

"No, I'm just curious about how a bunch of card materials create a resonance ritual."

"what ever."

The woman spread her hands indifferently, then sat cross-legged on the ground, making various cards into physical objects.

She heated the crucible, then put various ingredients into it in a certain proportion and in order. After a while, a pot of strange black liquid was boiled in the crucible.

"Is this a resonance ritual? How come it looks so much like a witch refining a potion?"

Chu Ming had a strange look on his face. He couldn't figure out how the resonance ritual, which ended up as a golden transparent card, could be made with a pot of potion.

However, in order not to disturb the landlady's work, he did not ask.

He continued to look at the woman, who was preparing the potion with a serious look on her face. After a while, she grabbed an obsidian dagger and threw it into the crucible.

Under Chu Ming's surprised gaze, the dagger melted into liquid and merged into the pot of black liquid.

The entire refining process lasted for half an hour. During this period, the woman threw many strange materials such as boots and nails into the crucible. The entire refining process seemed very random.

Just when Chu Ming was doubting whether the potion would be effective, the woman stopped working and wiped her sweat.

"Okay, there's still one last step left, shuffling the cards."

As she spoke, she carefully picked up a jade box from the cabinet and took out a pitch black card.

"This is the fog veil film dropped by the purple dark creature Night Ghost. It is worth more than 700,000 yuan. It is the best introduction to constructing a C-level resonance ritual."

"I spent a lot of money this time."

A look of pain flashed across the woman's face, she grabbed the black card with pliers and sank it into the bubbling black liquid.

The next second, the place where the card and the liquid in the crucible came into contact sizzled, and a large amount of black smoke floated out.

"What a disgusting smell."

Chu Ming looked at the black smoke and frowned.

Then he looked down and saw the woman slowly taking out the card.

Suddenly a golden light bloomed from the liquid, and the original black card turned golden and transparent, shining with light.

"Is this a C-level resonance ceremony..."

Chu Ming took the golden card, surprise flashed in his eyes.

Just by refining the potion, the black card turned golden yellow, and all the dark power on it was removed.

The landlady nodded and said: "Yes, this card has washed away all the information, leaving only the power of the Ancient Tree of Time. It can become a bridge between you and the Ancient Tree of Time, allowing you to obtain new cards on the Ancient Tree of Time. Card."

"Now that it's active, use it before the effect wears off."

"Okay, thank you boss lady."

Chu Ming took a deep breath, grabbed the golden card, and spread his thoughts inside.

Bang!

A soft sound echoed in his mind, and Chu Ming felt as if his spirit had broken through the limitations of his body and continued to float high into the sky.

Until he could see the complete picture of the ancient tree in the sky, an inexplicable connection was established between him and the ancient tree.

Suddenly, in his eyes, the ancient tree glowed brightly, and countless cards flowed through the sky like a long river.

Chu Ming's mind moved, and he felt that there seemed to be cards in the river that resonated with him.

He looked back, and felt a heavy sense of history. Harold, Storm Bear Knight Todd, Nina... and countless other cards from the Troll Era were shining like stars in the sky, seeming to be waiting. Looking at him.

But Chu Ming's goal is not them. He wants to go to the future era to find cards that resonate with him.

"Goodbye, everyone."

Turning his head, he swam along the time towards the end of the long river. His body and mind became more and more relaxed, and the weight of history gradually disappeared.

When he came to the end of the long river, Chu Ming looked back. The long river was dim, with only stars shining in it.

"Wish me a golden fortune."

Chu Ming muttered a prayer silently and plunged directly into the long river.

In Cai Mingka's store, Chu Ming returned to consciousness, stood up in a daze, and then looked through the wooden boards and reinforced concrete in the direction of the ancient tree.

I saw a golden light falling from the ancient tree with flames, passing through the steel forest, passing through the land, falling into the hut, and stopping in front of him.

"Show me what it is?"

Chu Ming looked expectantly and grabbed the card into his hand.

The golden light above dissipated, revealing the appearance of the card.

【Vampire Boy】

[Quality: Gray]

[Race: Mixed race]

[Skill: Bloodthirsty]

In the card, a fair-skinned feminine boy is squatting in a cage. He is covered in scars, and the two small fangs in his mouth show his unusual identity.

"This kind of card again?!"

The landlady looked surprised and muttered: "It seems that business will not be easy in the future."

Chu Ming stroked the smooth card and nodded: "It's not bad, it's still within the range I can accept."

As long as the card is not a black card, it will be a bloody profit for him.

It's just a pity that the characters produced this time don't seem to fit well with the way of chivalry.

A hybrid dark creature and a vampire, it doesn't look like it has any muscles at all.

After playing with the card for a while, he put it back into the card pack.

"I'm quite satisfied with this card."

"Now that the cards have been released, it's time for us to leave. I'll see you next time I have business."

The landlady said cheerfully: "It's best if customers like you come here every day."

"By the way, what's your name, boss lady?"

"Isn't it written on the door of the store?"

"Cai Ming's Card Shop..." Chu Ming thought about it for a moment, "Cai Ming, a good name."

…

One month later.

In the bedroom, Chu Ming placed the organized information on the table, leaned back, and rubbed his eyes tiredly.

“The general historical context of the new era has been sorted out, and it’s time to prepare to start writing.”

After returning from the black market, in order to understand the history of the new era, Chu Ming spent a lot of time sorting out official interview materials and some analysis and research published by netizens.

The entire process of a card interview takes at least half an hour to an hour. It was impossible for him to read all the interviews, but he only selected some of the more important interviews with historical figures.

Even so, Chu Ming spent nearly twenty days watching the selected interview videos. In the remaining days, he sorted out the historical data, sorted out the historical context, and summarized some important information. .

Among them, what he wanted to know most was how strong the tide of darkness had reached in 15005 of the Dark Age, and why even the human knights who were able to break the bloodline restrictions and possess greater power could not prevent darkness from flooding the world.

You don’t know if you don’t check. Chu Ming was immediately frightened by this check.

According to a knight who survived to the end, in Dark Age 15005, the year the world was engulfed by darkness.

Under the fierce attack of dark creatures, all human countries have long since perished. The human knights use Niho Academy and major city-states as the last survival places of human civilization to resist the invasion of darkness.

But in the end, even those legendary knights who had touched the deep blue could not resist the tide of darkness and perished in the darkness.

"Deep Blue cannot resist the tide of darkness, which means that the tide of darkness has far exceeded the upper limit of the previous dark ages."

“Has it reached purple?!”

"The truth is so suffocating."
