Chapter 212 Epic Knight, Farewell
After the various forces gathered at Niho College, they negotiated with the Imperial delegation for three days and three nights. On the day the negotiations ended, everyone was in high spirits, smiling, and not tired at all.
Despite the threat of darkness, the peace negotiations between the Empire and the Peninsula went very smoothly. The two sides signed a number of peace clauses and many cooperation projects, including the training of the Line of Defense Knights, the training of spiritual wizards, and the entry of the Church of Life.
After resolving the affairs of the Peninsula, Chu Ming finally had some free time. In order to find something to do, he went to the South Territory to observe the development of the Empire.
…
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
The South Territory gradually returned to the situation before the attack of the black wizard, but the population problem was still there, and the number of people was much less than before.
The local administrative management system of the South Territory was finally stabilized, and the people gradually realized that they could not find the Lord Lord when they had something to do, and could only seek help from the Town Hall in the town.
The initial members of the City Hall were composed of students from some noble colleges near the North and knight wizards. At the beginning, these students still managed the city with their previous experience in managing territories. After encountering setbacks everywhere, they began to reflect on and revise policies. After so many years, these people have become qualified members of the City Hall.
During this year, Chu Ming has reached his fifties, but like Isabel, his appearance has not changed at all.
This is because his life form has long been no longer human, and age has no effect on him.
And Isabel, who has been nourished by the Holy Mark of Life, has not changed too much and still maintains the appearance of a girl.
After so many years of cultivation in the South, the scale of the Church of Life has become larger and larger. It can be seen in almost every town, and the number of priests in the church has successfully exceeded 6,000, becoming a huge supernatural power group.
After some consideration, Isabel organized a group of priests and knights who were all deep blue to form an inquisition, and let them be responsible for the pursuit of black wizards and the purification of taboo knowledge.
The influence of the Church of Life expanded, and the name of High Priest Isabel spread throughout the empire, even to the King's Peninsula.
The names of the Empire's Guardian Narender, Lord Edel, and the Knowledge Wizard Allen were even more prominent. The rumor that they came from the same border wizard tower is still talked about by the people, and it attracts countless people to join the Tower of Knowledge and become wizards.
With the arrival of the wizard's heyday, the extraordinary power expanded rapidly. According to the statistics of the empire, there are more than 30,000 formal wizards recorded in the list, and epic wizards almost account for the vast majority of the more than 200 epics in the empire.
This year is also the first year of the opening of the channel. The empire and various countries began to contact and cooperate in accordance with the treaty. Many merchants who smelled the wind headed towards the channel to seize the opportunity.
At the time when the wind and clouds gathered, the news that Edel broke through the limit of the knight and pushed the knight's power to the epic level spread like wildfire, and soon caused an uproar in the empire.
Fia, who came from Niho College and designed a new secret method, soon entered the vision of the knights. For a time, the reputation of Niho College in King Peninsula was pushed to a high level again, and the name of the holy land of knights spread from King Peninsula back to the Empire.
After only six years, those deep blue knights trapped in the bloodline limit broke through one after another, and the number of epics on the Empire side suddenly increased to 500!
Among the 500 epics, there are 300 epic knights, and the number of epic knights suddenly exceeded the number of epic wizards.
And the knights who broke through the epic on the King Peninsula almost all came from Niho College, a total of more than 50 people.
Niho College soon became the vanguard and fortress of the peninsula against darkness. The reputation of the college reached its peak and returned to the state when Andrew was the dean.
Edel and Fia, who succeeded the dean, hit it off and decided to build a new Niho College branch in the gap left by the Tianqian Mountains in the northern border of the empire when Chu Ming fought against the taboo giant.
As soon as this decision was announced, the knight craze in the empire was fueled, making it burn more vigorously. For a time, the popularity of Niho Academy even overshadowed the Tower of Knowledge.
In fact, compared with knights, wizards have more stringent requirements for talent. Perhaps only one out of a hundred ordinary people can have wizard talent, while knights have different talents. Perhaps thirty out of a hundred ordinary people have knight talent.
The advantage of wizards over knights is that the lower limit is higher and the upper limit is also higher. Even a wizard apprentice who has only learned one sorcery can quickly reach the green level, while knights still need to climb from the gray level all the way from apprentice knights, formal knights, great knights, legendary knights... Except for wizard knights, the most powerful epic knights are only epic one-star, and the knight road after that is still waiting for knights to explore.
And those knights with low knight talent may be trapped at the apprentice knight level for their entire lives.
But knights also have their advantages. At the same level as wizards, they can easily win with their terrifying physical bodies, and this situation is more obvious after the epic.
Some epic knights are only one-star epic, but they can be combined into an epic knight team to fight against the two-star epic creatures summoned by the wizard using fusion magic.
After the appearance of epic knights, the strength of the wizard knights also changed, especially the leader of the wizard knights, Edel, who became the first person under the legend with the full dream spirit power of three-star epic and the knight power of one-star epic. Even Allen is not his opponent at all.
After Lord Edel and Lord Pioneer, the title of the King of Witch Knights gradually became known to the world and was sought after by countless knights.
This year, Chu Ming was fifty-eight years old.
The Fengyang Empire has been on the right track, and the power of the northern earls is still weakening. Some earls have noticed something wrong, but their old bodies can no longer prevent all this from happening, and even the descendants of their families have escaped their control.
Unlike the old and corrupt northern border, the provincial system in the southern border has become more mature and has a different vitality. People who go to the southern border are like entering a new world. While sighing, they quietly move their assets in the northern border to the southern border.
In their view, the southern border is a place that symbolizes spring and freedom, and the northern channel symbolizes pioneering and exploration, while the northern border, which is divided into many noble territories, is full of decay and there is no hope.
In the northern channel, the channel territory is gradually stabilized. With the addition of the epic knights, the pioneering knights have gathered again after several years and become stronger.
Under Edel's leadership, the Knights have great confidence. They plan to spend twenty years to open up the first province in the northern passage, and completely incorporate a large piece of fertile land near the Winter River into the empire's territory, making it an important province for the empire's farming.
Everything is developing in a good direction. The empire is no longer the weak one that Chu Ming needed to do everything himself.
In this way, Chu Ming can also let go completely and go out for a walk in advance.
...
Winter morning, wizard's hut.
"Hey, Nalund, where are my pants?"
Fia hurried back from the backyard, looking suspiciously at Chu Ming who was sitting on the sofa reading a book and drinking tea.
Chu Ming took a sip of the gold-patterned white porcelain teacup without raising his head, "Who knows, it snowed heavily outside all night, and someone smart put his pants outside to dry."
"Could it be pressed by the snow?"
Fia exclaimed and ran to the backyard.
Chu Ming looked at her reckless look and shook his head.
This guy has been living here to study the secrets for more than ten years, and has regarded the wizard hut as hers. Now that she has inherited the position of the dean, she still refuses to leave.
But Chu Ming has nothing else to do. It is good to have someone to chat with in a quiet life.
Chu Ming exhaled slowly and put down the book with a black and red cover in his hand.
[Griffin Knight Heritage]
[Quality: Purple ☆]
[Skills: Epic Life, King Qing Gang]
This book is the new secret developed by Feiya. It is an improvement on the incomplete griffin secret handed down by Niho Academy. It is the one that Chu Ming practiced when he first wrote it.
The biggest difference between the new secret and the old secret is that the content of breathing method is added.
Strictly speaking, the content of the griffin breathing method used to practice the mysteries of blood is not less than the secret method of exploring the secrets of blood and mysteries. The breathing method and the secret method are divided into two parts, and the combination of the two has a new name-Knight Heritage.
It is the combination of the two that breaks the blood limit of the human body and develops a powerful force called the secret of blood. With it, human knights can imitate the blood of other epic creatures, strengthen their own physical strength, use the secret to burst, and exert more terrible power.
After the knight who has received the inheritance of the griffin knight reaches the epic level, he can truly reproduce the power of the griffin, the king of the sky, and control the power of the wind to give the enemy desperate pressure.
"It's really good. If I had this in the Kingdom of Roton, there would be no Jarvan Spears, and the King of Trolls could retire early."
Chu Ming stood up and moved around. At this time, Fei Ya, who was holding her frozen pants, walked in with a depressed look on her face.
"Why didn't you remind me yesterday."
Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "Who knew you were so smart."
"Huh!"
"Okay, I sympathize with your experience."
Fei Ya said unconvinced: "Damn, you are obviously laughing."
"Okay, I'm going to leave today."
Chu Ming put on the gray robe on the coat rack and looked like he was ready to go out.
Feiya was stunned, "Where are you going?"
"Probably leaving the empire, going to a very far place, I don't know when I will come back."
"Really..." Feiya's face stiffened a little, "You...it's better if you leave, this house is mine."
"Then I'm leaving, goodbye."
Chu Ming waved to her seriously.
The woman moved her mouth and waved silently.
The night flickered, and Chu Ming disappeared.
Feiya stood there in a daze, and after a long time she muttered: "Just go..."
...
Northern passage, provincial development area.
The green Gang Qi waved up, and a knight wearing full armor accelerated 100 meters like a green spear directly through the abdomen of a huge six-handed ghost monster. The Gang wind penetrated the forest and set off a gust of wind, overturning the black fog, black trees, and the ground.
Puff!
A large amount of black blood spurted out from the abdomen of the six-handed ghost monster, and the monster fell to the ground weakly.
The knight shook his right hand, and the black gas on the sword was instantly dispersed. The green wind was retracted like a feather, and the helmet covering his face disintegrated, revealing Edel with his hair tied up.
"It seems that you have adapted to this power."
The night curtain opened on the side, and Chu Ming walked out with a smile.
Edel was stunned, and the armor on his body made a sound, and asked: "Why are you here?"
Chu Ming patted his shoulder armor and said, "Come and say goodbye to you."
"We're leaving so soon, don't want to stay a little longer."
Chu Ming spread his hands and said, "The Empire is no longer the baby that needed my support. It's time for me to go outside and take a look."
Edel sighed, "Narende, if it were me back then, I would have gone with you without hesitation."
"Traveling around the world is so exciting."
"It's a pity, the empire can't live without me."
Chu Ming smiled softly, and there seemed to be another meaning in his eyes, "It's okay, you will see a wider world in the future."
Edel was a little confused. Isn't the world just that big? What does the wider world mean?
Unable to figure this out, he just shook his head and said, "Since you're leaving, why not accompany me for a meal? I haven't returned to the camp for several days, so it's just time for the Pioneer Knights to go back and take a rest."
"Okay, I won't waste time having a meal."
After the two of them finished speaking, they led a group of epic knights and epic wizards who had just emerged from the dark forest with great momentum and walked toward the camp.
…
Half a day later, we arrived at the southern border of Fencao Province, the Tower of Knowledge.
High on the mountain, a towering snow-white tower stands against the snow-capped mountains, between the uninhabited wasteland and the coniferous forest.
High in the sky, the eagle screamed, and some black shadows crossed out of thin air and fell into the observatory of the Tower of Knowledge.
The wizards lifted their hoods, and the slightly tired faces of Allen and others were revealed.
Several wizards guarding the tower hurriedly greeted him, "Teacher Allen, and other teachers, welcome back."
"Well, has anything happened in the tower during the few days we've been away?"
The wizard quickly replied: "Teacher Narender has come to see you. I heard that he has something to tell you."
Allen was stunned, bid farewell to the wizards, took off his weathered gray robe, and walked towards the wizard's room at the top of the tower.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Chu Mingzheng and Suraya chatting.
"Edel, did you say when you will get married?"
"..."
"It's a pity that I can't see him anymore."
Chu Ming sighed and saw Allen coming back from outside.
He smiled and said: "You came back just in time. I am about to leave the empire. I just happened to come to see how you and the Wizard Tower are developing."
"Are you leaving?" Allen sat on the sofa and asked, "Where do you plan to go?"
Chu Ming touched his chin and said, "I'll probably go to the north first. I heard that there is a northern empire there. You should be able to gain something different by going there."
Allen's face showed some emotion, "I want to see it too."
Chu Ming glanced at him and said, "Who are you going to guard the wizard tower? And the journey is far away, so I can't protect you. There are still legendary creatures in the dark forest."
Allen regretted: "That's really a pity. If I could touch the corners of the legend, maybe I could go with you."
"Just follow my path, and you will always reach a new realm."
Chu Ming patted his shoulder.
…
Coming out of the Wizard Tower, the glow dyed half of the sky red. The orange sunset slowly descended from the horizon with black-red mist, dyeing the entire Wizard Tower golden red. Looking from a distance, the Garden of Knowledge The tower is like the golden tower built by the golden tribe in mythology, spreading the brilliance of knowledge.
Chu Ming stood on the observatory and stared at this beautiful scene. Until nightfall was about to fall and the stars appeared, he tore up the night and left the wizard tower, heading for the last stop of his trip.
In the southern province of Bulo, there is the Church of Life in Black Iron City.
The cross-pattern flag wrapped around green tree vines fluttered in the wind, glowing with a green light in the dark night.
In the church courtyard, the busy Isabel took time out to take a rare rest in the courtyard.
She looked at the crystal connected by a silver necklace on her collarbone. This crystal was shining faintly, indicating that someone was about to arrive.
"High Priest, it's already late at night, do you need to go back and rest?"
A priest who looked like a teenage girl boldly stepped forward and asked with concern.
The girl shook her head and said, "Julia, go back to sleep quickly, I'm still waiting for someone."
The little priest gritted his teeth and said worriedly: "High Priest, please take care of yourself."
The girl showed a gentle smile. She seemed to have seen the conversation she had with High Priest Lysa back then. This was how she persuaded the old man, but her tone was a little less respectful.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, this sentence would be said by other priests, and she can now understand the mood of High Priest Lysa back then.
Isabel gently stroked the girl's hair and smiled: "Julia, you will understand later. For now, go back to bed and don't be late for tomorrow's church."
When the girl heard this, her face was startled, and she hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm going back to bed right now. High Priest, I won't be late this time."
"Go ahead."
Isabel watched the girl leave, stroking the necklace on her white neck.
Time passed slowly, the dark clouds parted, and the moon with icy blue light showed its head. At this time, the night unfolded in the courtyard, and Chu Ming walked out.
Seeing Isabel leaning on the seat, Chu Ming walked over and asked, "Why are you still not sleeping so late?"
Isabel stood up, held his hand, and said playfully: "Can't sleep."
Chu Ming rubbed the girl's long golden hair and said softly: "I'm leaving the empire."
"I see."
Isabel's eyes flickered as she walked into Chu Ming's arms.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back."
Chu Ming finally nodded, unable to speak.
In fact, he wanted to travel around the world with Isabel.
It was a pity that he didn't have the strength to do so.
When faced with a fatal threat, he could survive in the knowledge storage room with his immortality, but Isabel couldn't.
