Chapter 270 Two Years of Development

Chu Ming was surrounded by golden flames like a king. He stretched out his right hand, and with a thought, blazing fire surrounded his arm, giving his calm face a touch of holy brilliance.

"Is this burning will?"

He felt it carefully. This power was violent and quiet, and he was absolutely under his control. However, because the strength of the Burning Knights was not high enough, the strength blessing brought by Burning Will was only the same as that of Burning Thunder.

With the blessing of Burning Will, he could beat the one-star Epic opponents now, and he could still beat the Epic Two-star opponents.

"If you want to improve the Burning Will, it seems you have to continue to strengthen the strength of the Knights."

Chu Ming touched his chin. Facing the scorching gazes of the knights, he chuckled, dispelled the golden flames lingering in his body, and then saluted to the knights: "From now on, my back will be entrusted to you all. "

Miguel held up his hand and said: "Don't worry, captain, we won't let you down."

Chu Ming nodded, "The Burning Knights have been officially established. You will first practice with Miguel in the mercenary guild. I will call you when necessary."

After the announcement, the knights took back their knight power, saluted Chu Ming one after another, and then left the mercenary guild to continue the work they had just left.

Chu Ming watched the knights leave. After a while, he looked at Miguel and said, "I will leave it to you to manage the mercenary guild and the knights. I hope that all the knights of the knights can break through to... Blue Level.”

Miguel said solemnly: "Captain, don't worry. After everyone's knight talents broke through, they have been training more diligently than before. Coupled with the previous accumulation, I believe they will be able to break through to the blue level soon."

Chu Ming took Irina to the door of the mercenary guild. He looked back at Miguel with a smile on his face, "You and Nathan are currently the only ones in the Knights who are at the dark blue level. If a new dark blue knight is born, Better."

Miguel's face tightened and he smiled bitterly: "I will try my best to live up to your expectations."

Chu Ming nodded and patted the man on the shoulder, "In a few days, I will move to the hiring guild. In my spare time, if you encounter any training problems, you can come to me. However, the guild and the knights I won’t get involved in the management of the group, it’s all up to you to develop it.”

Chu Ming said, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Of course, if any guild competitors dare to use any tricks, just tell me."

Miguel solemnly performed the knight's salute. Chu Ming valued him so much that he must go all out.

…

Two days later, the employment guild officially opened.

On the bustling streets of the West City, the sudden opening of the mercenary guild instantly attracted the attention of many citizens. Some knights from other guilds rushed to find out the news. When they learned that there were people from the Brick family hiding behind the mercenary guild, they originally Some guilds that wanted to cause trouble have stopped and turned a blind eye, ignoring this new competitor.

Of course, not all guild knights are so wise. After some knights heard that a new guild had opened in the West City, they provocatively handed over some difficult employment tasks to the new guild, and prepared to make trouble in secret. .

The strength level of the Burning Knights can only be regarded as an upper-middle level among the Knights of the City of Sauron, and there are only two Deep Blue Knights. However, the knights of the Burning Knights all practice the Secret Art of the Burning Sun and have the blessing of Burning Will. It cannot be viewed with common sense. When faced with employment tasks that are difficult for these top knights, the Burning Knights not only successfully completed them, but also received unanimous praise from the task employers.

After completing several such difficult employment tasks, the Burning Knights became more and more famous in the West City. Many employers came here and extended employment invitations to the Burning Knights.

In the City of Sauron, many independent knights have gradually shifted their focus in accepting tasks to the Burning Mercenary Guild. In just a few months, the Mercenary Guild has signed contracts with six small and three medium-sized knights.

In fact, the main body of the employment guild accepting tasks is composed of the knights of the guild itself and some knights contracted under the guild. The knights of the body are a sign of the employment guild, which can continuously attract employers and other knights. , the employment guild’s employment platform will be built bigger and bigger. When the employment guild develops to a certain scale, the employment guild will be able to make a lot of money even just by collecting handling fees and entrusting commissions.

This is why some knights have to set up mercenary guilds instead of doing their jobs. Although it is difficult to get started, making money is really making money.

The purpose of Miguel's establishment of the mercenary guild is also to make money, but unlike most knights who are addicted to money and not enterprising, under the decision of the Burning Knights, most of the money they earned was used to purchase secret medicine. Alchemy potions, replacement of knight equipment and other aspects that can improve one's own strength, only leave part of the funds for the mercenary guild to be used for turnover.

After the mercenary guild became rich in funds, the most obvious change of the Burning Knights was that every knight had a new unified armor, and their strength also improved rapidly with the support of various potions.

Ever since Chu Ming moved to live in the mercenary guild from Tulip Street, in addition to practicing every day, he taught knights how to practice. He didn't pay much attention to the development of the mercenary guild. He only asked Miguel about the status of the mercenary guild once a month.

Half a year later, the Burning Mercenary Guild grew stronger. When Chu Ming got used to the expensive alchemical potions, secret medicines and other expensive potions that appeared during his practice, he found that the Mercenary Guild had developed to the point where it not only did not need his support, but could even subsidize his practice.

With the help of various potions, Chu Ming's originally slow practice speed became much faster. Almost every day he could feel the improvement of his strength, which made him feel very gratified.

During the days of practicing in the Mercenary Guild, Nuria would bring Valerie to visit him from time to time and bring him some delicious snacks.

However, these snacks were often eaten up by Irina before he ate much.

But no matter how much she ate, she could not gain weight or grow taller, so Chu Ming let her go.

In addition to Nuria, Kuros and the others would often return to the City of Sauron to visit Chu Ming after the mission was completed, and bring him some public news from the Knights' Tribunal.

After the two of them came and went, their relationship with Chu Ming improved a lot and they became friends.

Of course, since Kuros and the other two would come to him, Chu Ming did not miss the opportunity to spar with them. After all, the content of his second trial of the God of War Trial was to defeat the epic.

After sparring with Kuros, Chu Ming easily defeated the man and successfully passed the second trial.

After he passed the trial, he did not receive the gift of blood this time, but the magic pattern circuit in his body grew a lot, reaching the limit of almost breaking through the epic.

Originally, he planned to pass the third trial in one go, but when he saw the content of the third trial, he completely gave up this idea.

"The third trial: defeat the epic three-star opponent."

Let alone epic and legend, even the gap between epic and epic is astonishingly large. As the most powerful existence under the legend, the power level of the epic three-star extraordinary is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the epic one-star.

This difference is like the magic skeleton dragon vine and the nine-headed black skeleton dragon released by Chu Ming with witchcraft. The destructive power of the magic skeleton dragon vine can only cover a radius of hundreds of meters, while the nine-headed black skeleton dragon can shake a canyon.

Chu Ming's current knight level is still deep blue, and being able to defeat an epic one-star opponent is already the limit, let alone an epic three-star opponent, even an epic two-star opponent is difficult to confront him head-on.

However, after obtaining the epic knight inheritance, Chu Ming's originally stagnant strength has increased again, and the power in his body has become more powerful. His true strength has long surpassed the epic one-star. If he can break through the deep blue and reach the epic level, maybe his true strength can quickly grow to the epic two-star level.

...

When Chu Ming was still staying in the small mercenary guild in the city of Sauron and making steady progress, some new changes, good or bad, appeared in the world.

Two years later, this year Chu Ming was already 27 years old, and his knight power was about to usher in a qualitative change.

The backyard of the mercenary guild.

The early morning sun shone on the locust tree, and the crystal dew on the leaves and branches emitted a shining light. Under the swaying shade of the tree, a knight stood still with a calm breath and a sword in both hands.

This knight was Chu Ming, and he was still doing morning exercises as usual today.

As Chu Ming's breathing rhythm moved, his aura gradually rose, and lightning lingered around him, flickering faintly.

Ten minutes later, he suddenly glared, and lightning raged wildly, knocking the maple leaves to the ground, leaving pieces of charred marks.

Chu Ming waved the black sword in his hand, and as the lightning fell, a whistling sound like a dragon's roar and a bird's cry sounded. In a trance, he was wrapped in dark clouds, and the whole person seemed to go straight into the thundercloud in the sky. He looked up with a feeling, and the thunder flashed. A huge figure loomed behind the thundercloud, making a long whistling sound.

At this moment, the blood in his body was completely attracted by this huge figure. In the increasingly strong desire, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to the depths of the thundercloud.

Chu Ming's expression became more and more expectant. Just when he was about to touch the figure, he suddenly shook his spirit. The huge black figure seemed to be startled by him, flapped its wings, flew deeper into the thundercloud, and gradually disappeared from his sight.

His mind was shaken, and his consciousness returned to reality. As soon as the black sword in his hand fell, lightning crackled and slapped the ground, and soon dissipated.

Chu Ming took a breath and stuck the sword into the ground.

"Is it still a little short..."

In the past two years of cultivation, Chu Ming had seen the huge black shadow in the thundercloud countless times. As his strength grew, the distance between him and the black shadow became closer and closer, until now it seemed that he could touch it with his hand.

It was just a pity that his bloodline mystery cultivation was still a little short, and he still couldn't touch the figure in the end.

However, judging from the current progress of cultivation, it was only a matter of time for him to break through to the epic level, and perhaps it would take a few months.

This was two years faster than his previous prediction that it would take five years to break through to the epic level, thanks to the help of various cultivation potions provided to him by the mercenary guild.

Speaking of the mercenary guild, with Miguel's efforts, the reputation of the guild spread throughout the city of Sauron in just two years, and its influence spread throughout the West City.

However, Chu Ming was not the only Brick tribe member running a shop in the city of Solon. Some epic Cloud Thunder Knights also opened mercenary guilds after forming a knight group.

In order to avoid conflicts with these Cloud Thunder Knights for the time being, Miguel did not expand blindly, but limited the scope of influence to dozens of streets near the West City.

In the past two years, the Burning Knights have taken on more than twenty large-scale mercenary missions, and have grown greatly through difficult training.

With the help of guild funds, the strength of the Burning Knights has grown much faster than expected. In just one year, all the knights of the Order have been promoted to the blue level.

In the next year, four knights reached the deep blue level one after another.

After the overall strength of the Burning Knights has increased significantly, it can be said that they are the top knights in the City of Sauron.

After the level of the Knights reached this point, it was difficult for the employment missions to temper them, so Chu Ming simply reduced the frequency of the Knights taking employment missions, allowing them to practice with peace of mind and hone their burning will.

After continuing to practice in the yard for a while, Chu Ming ended today's exercise and returned to the house to bathe and change clothes.

In fact, in normal times, he would usually practice from morning to noon before finishing the exercise. However, he had something to go to Brick Castle today, so he could only end today's practice in a hurry.

After changing into the knight uniform, Chu Ming walked out of the backyard and met the knights exercising in the hall training ground.

Chu Ming looked over and saw golden flames rising vigorously from the knights, forming a ball of flames in mid-air.

Veins popped up on the knights' faces, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Amidst a burst of low shouts, the golden wave of flames condensed into a ball above the knight slowly twisted, and gradually condensed into the prototype of a flaming giant sword.

In Chu Ming's perception, the aura of this golden flaming giant sword was astonishing, vaguely revealing a terrifying aura, and it had already touched the heel of the epic.

But before the flaming giant sword became clear, a sudden change occurred. The flaming giant sword suddenly exploded in mid-air and scattered into waves of flames. The faces of the knights changed slightly, the momentum in their bodies dropped, and their aura became sluggish.

"It seems that the Ultimate Combination Technique is still too difficult for them now."

Chu Ming stood aside and quietly watched the knights' training. After a while, he shook his head and walked out.

The so-called ultimate intention combination skill is actually an idea put forward by Chu Ming after seeing the impact of collective will on the Knights of the Blazing Sun. It is the condensed product of the ultimate intention power of all knights and the ultimate expression of the strength of the knights.

Originally, Chu Ming only had an idea of ​​how to develop the Ultimate Combination Technique. However, when the Knights changed their name and the Burning Knights gave birth to the Burning Will that could unify the power of the blazing sun, the development of the Ultimate Ultimate Combination Technique was finally completed. clue.

In fact, not only Chu Ming can use the power of Burning Will, but the Burning Knights themselves can also use this power.

However, unlike entrusting power to others, the Burning Knights themselves have more than forty knights, and each knight has a different mind. It is much more difficult to control the Burning Will. The Knights are in a very difficult position in using the Burning Will. Rough layers.

Chu Ming even suspected that the birth of the Burning Willpower was for his use as the leader.

Chu Ming touched his chin and muttered: "Although it is difficult, it is not impossible, and once the Ultimate Combination Technique is developed, maybe the Burning Knights will be able to gain new abilities and their overall strength will rise again."

After thinking for a while, he looked helpless, "Take it slowly, don't rush, let them practice their tacit understanding first, it will be easier to control the burning will."

A few minutes later, Chu Ming walked out of the backyard of the employment guild and came to the guild hall.

Even though it's still morning, many knights are already coming to the guild to accept employment tasks.

Unlike those knights who can take on large-scale mercenary tasks, these little knights have limited strength and can only take on some simple mercenary tasks, such as finding lost cats, cleaning up monsters that harm farmland, etc.

The mercenary guild task list is updated at eight o'clock in the morning, once a day, so many knights want to come here early to try their luck and see if they can get some tasks with high rewards and suitable difficulty.

At the front desk of the guild hall, Amy and six newly recruited girls were busy processing the knights' requests. From their frowning brows, it could be seen that this job was not easy.

Fortunately, Chu Ming is not a shady boss. After he heard from Miguel about the high intensity of work at the front desk, he recruited eighteen more front desk staff with a wave of his hand and asked them to work separately in the morning, afternoon and evening. Receiving employers who come to post tasks and knights who accept tasks, each person works about four hours a day.

But after there were more staff, how to manage them became a problem, so Chu Ming gave all these girls to Amy to manage, which made the girls much busier than when they were in the old city.

However, Amy was grateful for Chu Ming's attention and had been working hard and rarely slacked off.

Chu Ming walked through the crowded crowd. He glanced around and saw Irina squatting in the corner, happily eating candy.

"Irina."

Chu Ming shouted in the crowd.

"Master?"

Irina swallowed for a moment, then she looked up in the direction of the sound. When she saw Chu Ming's figure, she panicked and quickly stuffed the candy wrapper into her pocket.

The little maid wiped her mouth, for fear of being scolded, she asked cautiously: "Master, what do you want from me?"

Chu Ming glanced at her pocket and smiled: "I'll take you to Brick Castle, do you want to go?"

Irina's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"Master, let's go."
