Chapter 271 Magic Newspaper, Law Officer
Chu Ming pulled Irina out of the crowd and walked outside the mercenary guild.
A maid who was sweeping the ground saw Chu Ming coming out, bowed her head and asked: "Master Ryan, are you going out? I'll drive the carriage over now."
Chu Ming shook his head and said: "No, Brick Castle is not far from here, I can walk there."
After saying goodbye to the maid, Chu Ming led Irina out of the guild yard and came to the street.
The street was crowded with people. Several knights passed by Chu Ming and his friends carrying huge monsters on their shoulders, and people's faces were full of smiles.
Chu Ming took a deep breath, stretched his body, and walked towards Brick Castle.
Brick Castle and West City Vasco Street were only a few streets apart. After walking for more than ten minutes, Chu Ming and his friends saw the black iron gate of the castle deep in the garden.
"Master Ryan, please come in."
Seeing Chu Ming coming, the guard hurriedly saluted and stretched his hand to make a gesture of invitation.
Chu Ming comes to Brick Castle almost once a month, and the rotating guards are familiar with this Brick tribe member who is said to have returned from a distant country.
Nodding slightly to the two guards, Chu Ming walked into the castle and headed towards the library.
The purpose of Chu Ming's visit to Brick Castle is actually to find Jerome who is guarding the door of the library secret room.
The reason why he goes to Brick Castle once a month is to chat with Jerome and learn about what happened in the entire southern border.
When Chu Ming first met Jerome at the door of the secret room, he discovered that Jerome seemed to have a channel to obtain magic newspapers.
Compared with ordinary newspapers, the delivery of magic newspapers uses space magic, which is faster and more timely, and the news coverage of the newspaper content covers the entire southern border. Only a few members of the magic newspaper have the opportunity to subscribe to their magic newspapers.
But strangely, as the only newspaper established by a wizard in southern Xinjiang, the magic newspaper has never made public the channel to become a member of the newspaper.
Since Jerome had been in contact with the Magic Newspaper Club, Chu Ming found an opportunity to ask the man how to become a member of the Magic Newspaper Club.
However, Jerome did not directly tell him how to join the newspaper club. He just said that if Chu Ming was interested, he should take time out every month to read the newly distributed magic newspapers in the library.
Although he could not find out how to become a member of the Magic Newspaper Club, at least he got a chance to learn about the news in Southern Xinjiang. Chu Ming did not intend to miss it and would take some time out every month to go to the library.
After turning around several times in the huge castle that was like a maze, Chu Ming took Irina into the library.
He looked inside. Among the stacked bookshelves, Hines was cleaning the dust on the bookshelves with an animal hair duster. What was rare was that there were several knights reading books in the library, which usually no one entered. They seemed to be very engaged.
There was no chance for those knights. Chu Ming walked up to Hines and greeted him with a smile: "Teacher, good morning."
"Good morning, Ryan."
Hines turned around and smiled slightly. The look in his eyes seemed much more lively than a few years ago, as if he had walked out of the shadows.
"Are you here to read the newspaper again today?"
Chu Ming nodded and asked, "Is Uncle Jerome in there?"
Hines looked helpless and couldn't help saying, "He should be dozing off. I heard his snoring just now. If it weren't for these young knights not minding, I would have kicked him out of the library."
"Then I'll go over first. See you later."
"Oh, by the way." Chu Ming pulled Irina to him, "I brought Irina here. You can continue to teach her to read."
Hines smiled and rubbed Irina's head, "Let's go. I put the sixth part of the Fairy Forest on the counter for you to practice writing."
"But before that, write the words I taught you to write last month for me to see."
"Oh, okay, teacher."
Irina nodded obediently, but her eyes were completely on the counter, as if something was attracting her there.
The "Fairy Forest" that Heins mentioned is actually a collection of stories, which is said to be written by a fairy named Vera about daily trivia in the dream forest.
In Chu Ming's opinion, this story collection is mediocre, and the stories are not coherent, like a child's random notes, no one should like it.
But what he didn't expect was that Irina liked the story book "Fairy Forest" after just listening to Heins's story once.
At the beginning, "Fairy Forest" only had one volume, but after Irina expressed her regret that she couldn't see the next volume, Heins immediately said that the author's address was left at the back of the book, and he could help write Irina's ideas into a letter and send it to the author.
The first time I wrote a letter to an author who liked a book, Irina expressed her strong desire to urge for more, and Heins wrote it into a letter and sent it out.
Originally, Chu Ming thought that this matter was over. After all, which author would leave an address in the book when he had nothing to do, and he was not afraid of being sent knives by readers. He subconsciously determined that the address was fake.
However, what he didn't expect was that the author of "Fairy Forest" actually replied, and also sent Irina "Fairy Forest 2".
This made Irina very happy. Even though she couldn't understand it, she would hold the book and read it all day long. She even said that she wanted to learn to read and write letters to the fairy Vera herself.
So with the help of Heins, Irina and Vera became pen pals, and "The Fairy Forest" was updated to the sixth volume for her.
In fact, for Chu Ming, the author named Vera can make Irina learn to read obediently, which is considered a good thing and there is no need to stop it.
After watching Irina sit down at the counter, Chu Ming retracted his gaze and walked towards the secret room deep in the library.
He passed through the stacks of bookshelves, and his vision suddenly widened. A wooden door and Jerome lying behind the counter appeared in front of him.
"Aha...huh..."
The man lazily opened his sleepy eyes and said inarticulately: "I...well...I knew your kid would come today. The newspaper is on the table. You can read it yourself."
"Then I won't be polite to you."
Chu Ming skillfully sat down on the chair opposite the man, picked up the newspaper, crossed his legs, and looked at the newspaper in his hand like an old man.
Wherever he looked, the black and white newspaper suddenly became alive, and colorful pictures bloomed from the paper.
"There is a strange movement on the orc front, and it is suspected that the orc empire is planning a new attack."
The picture on the magic newspaper was disturbed, and the random flow of colors gradually returned to order. A camp appeared on the picture. The camp was charred, with only a few unburned pillars standing. The ground was covered with the charred remains of humans and dwarves. The corpse, the strong smell of blood assaulted the nostrils, even the flames could not completely cover up the red color of the blood and flesh.
Looking towards the front of the camp, in the gloomy forest shrouded in clouds and mist, several tall figures seemed to be standing inside.
Chu Ming couldn't help but frown when it was such heavyweight news.
"The orcs have started to take action before the matter in the Violet Principality has been resolved. This is really unstoppable."
After thinking for a while, Chu Ming's wandering eyes returned to the newspaper. The pictures on it were stirred together and returned to chaos like a pool of colorful paint. After a few seconds, a new picture was revealed.
"After the War God Trial appeared, the phantoms did not dissipate. Instead, they appeared more frequently in the southern border. Similar phantoms of the Kingdom of God also appeared in the realm of the Holy Tree of Flesh in the Principality of Violet."
In the picture, following the end of the blood-colored swinging arm in the flesh-and-blood whirlpool, a green phantom appeared faintly on the charred remains of the sacred tree, and the phantom of the towering forest grew on the bloody whirlpool.
Chu Ming vaguely saw a castle hanging high in the sky in the center of the sacred tree. On the spire of the castle, circles of white light glowed, illuminating the entire realm of the flesh and blood sacred tree.
The entire scene was obviously made of blood and charred black, but under the radiance of the castle, the whole world seemed to have become holy.
Chu Ming's eyes shrank and he stared at this scene blankly, unable to recover for a long time.
"Could it be that the appearance of the Mirage in the Mythical Age and the God of War Trial are related to this Holy Tree of Flesh..."
He stared closely at the picture in the newspaper. Suddenly he seemed to realize something and looked down at the castle.
"Could it be said that the floating island above the Violet King City was rebuilt from this floating castle?"
Many questions arose in his heart, but he could not solve them. After staring at the picture for a few minutes, he thought, and the picture in the newspaper changed.
"The phantom only has the afterglow of the Kingdom of God? No, there is also the Dark Demon Nest."
Chu Ming looked at the dark scene. There were bursts of thunder and dark clouds. Suddenly, a huge dark object with a diameter of several hundred meters came from the sky. Sparks flew from the mysterious object and hit the barren ground like a meteor. .
Boom!
There was only an earth-shaking loud noise, the soil was lifted up, and the mysterious object fell to the ground easily.
Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, and his intuition told him that the movement of such a huge thing hitting the ground could not be just that big.
"Is it because it's a phantom?"
The mysterious thing called the Dark Demon's Nest in the newspaper, in fact, Chu Ming has learned that it is the dark mother's nest used by the most primitive dark monsters in the mythical era to invade Intinuit. As long as it swallows life or absorbs magic power, the Dark Demon's Nest will Able to revive, a terrifying dark monster was born.
In the age of mythology, the violent landing of the Dark Demon's Nest once caused terrible natural disasters, such as the cracking of the continent, tsunamis, etc. If it were not for the presence of gods, the entire alien world would have been destroyed.
"Did the phantom of the Dark Demon Nest also appear..."
Chu Ming covered his head with a headache.
"I don't know if the phantom dark monster can cause harm to people in this world."
Jerome, who was lying on the chair and squinting, slowly opened his eyes. After taking a sip of water, he said slowly and unhurriedly: "Boy, what did I tell you? The more you know, the more unfortunate you will be."
"If you hadn't read this newspaper today, you wouldn't have thought about whether the Phantom can hurt people."
Chu Ming was distracted, looked at the man, shrugged and said: "This is indeed true for some people, because their abilities are not that high, and it is useless to care. It will only add trouble to themselves."
“But what I believe in is taking control of what you can and being prepared for it.”
Jerome sneered and said leisurely: "You don't want to save the world, do you? Don't worry, if the sky falls, there will still be tall people to hold it up."
"You are a dark blue knight and I am an epic knight. What can you do?"
"Since you know it's useless, you might as well just lie down like me."
Chu Ming asked curiously: "In that case, why don't you give me the membership of the Magic Newspaper Club, and I will bear the pain of this knowledge."
"Pfft...ahem..."
Jerome almost choked on Chu Ming's words. He coughed a few times and shook his hand.
"You have a pretty good idea. Your uncle and I just read the newspaper for fun. If I didn't have the newspaper to read, it would be so boring to guard the secret room here."
"Go, go, read your newspaper. It's impossible to give up membership to you anyway."
Chu Ming pouted and continued to focus on the newspaper.
"The royal family of the Kingdom of Migliorini was attacked again, there are no casualties yet."
The picture is blurry. On a city street, there is chaos everywhere. A woman in elegant clothes prays with her eyes closed. Behind her stand four powerful legendary mages holding staffs. Chu Ming is still beside the woman. He saw his senior sister Trina.
What made him feel strange was that unlike the gentle Trina in the past, in the picture, the woman looked fierce and cold, and her cold eyes seemed to shine directly at Chu Ming through the newspaper, freezing him.
Chu Ming suddenly broke out in cold sweat, "Is this really Senior Sister Trina..."
After thinking for a while, he shook the strange thoughts out of his mind and muttered: "As long as everything is fine."
His mind moved, and new pictures continued to appear in the newspaper.
"The master dwarf craftsman has forged a peerless artifact, but the details are unknown."
"The twelfth test flight of the goblin floating ship ended in failure. The port side was smashed by a mountain peak. The specific date for completion of repairs is unknown."
"A new type of mechanical golem has appeared in Migliorini's country. Its body is as big as a giant beast and its strength is epic."
"Mechanical golem? Has the country of Migliorini unearthed a golem from the First Magical Era?"
In Chu Ming's memory, the mithril beast from the King's Peninsula was excavated. The mechanical golem sounded very similar to the Mithril Behemoth. He suspected that the so-called mechanical golem should have been discovered through archaeology.
After thinking for a while, he continued reading.
"Master Alchemist Daninel denies falling into the swamp of love. He once again emphasized that he will never get married without developing an alchemical potion that can strengthen the power of human blood."
"The law officers of the Fengyang Empire appeared in the Kingdom of Reran. They came to investigate the phantom of the God of War trial. Those who study the law can go to the Kingdom of Reran for advice. This is a rare opportunity."
"Law Officer?!"
Chu Ming's eyes lit up.
It just so happened that his career as a lawmaker had stalled due to lack of legal inheritance. If he could obtain new legal knowledge from that legal officer, it might be possible to strengthen his legal power.
"It's just that Reran Kingdom is at least a month away from Clinton Kingdom. By the time I arrive, everyone might have run away."
Thinking of this, Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh, and his face became sad.
"Does your kid know the law?"
Jerome's voice suddenly sounded from his ears. Chu Ming looked to the side and saw Jerome looking directly at him, waiting for his answer.
Chu Ming explained a little, "I learned a little bit when I was in the Violet Principality, but because there was no inheritance later, I couldn't continue to learn."
"Is this so..."
Jerome pinched the beard on his chin and suddenly said enthusiastically: "I can help you send a letter to Reran Kingdom and send someone to help you obtain the law inheritance."
Chu Ming's mind was moved, "Do you want the Magic Newspaper Company to help you send the letter?"
Jerome glanced at him and snorted: "Children, don't ask so much, just tell me whether you want it or not."
"of course yes."
Chu Ming nodded and paused.
"But can you help me send the letter to a family named Harlowen in Beltram, a city in the south of the Kingdom of Reran, and give it to a person named Crono in their family?"
When Jerome heard this, his face showed a bit of surprise, "The Harlowen family is a big family in the Reran Kingdom. Do you know them all?"
Chu Ming said humbly: "I have a mage friend right there."
Jerome looked at him deeply and sighed: "You have grown up, you have so many connections."
"It's not impossible to leave it to the Harlowen family, but I'm not absolutely sure that I can deliver the letter to your friend."
Chu Ming hurriedly said: "You can also leave it to members of their family. They will naturally understand after seeing it."
"Okay, just hold this piece of paper and don't break it."
Jerome carefully took out a piece of smooth and light yellow letter paper from the drawer. From time to time, magic lines flowed across the paper, and a fresh smell of logs hit his nostrils.
The man explained: "This is magic paper specially used for space magic. It can resist the tearing of space turbulence to a certain extent."
As he said that, he spread his hands and said: "But don't worry, if you tear it, I won't have a new one for you. You can think of something yourself."
Chu Ming took the letter, and the history book suddenly popped up next to him, with some additional information on it.
【Magic Stationery】
[Quality: Epic☆]
[Note: It is very expensive to be able to withstand the tearing of space turbulence. 】
“Can a piece of paper be epic???”
Chu Ming silently glanced at the magic letter in his hand, and then at Jerome.
He discovered that his cheap uncle was really kind to him, and he could use such precious disposable magic props for him.
It really makes me cry to death.
Dong dong dong...
Jerome tapped the table and pointed at something that looked like a pen on it.
"This pen name is a magic paint pen. It can output different colors according to the input magic power. Black requires a higher magic power, and the smaller the magic power, the lighter the color."
"Only the words written by it can be displayed on the magic letter paper, you try it."
Chu Ming nodded, took the magic pen, and new information immediately appeared in the history book.
[Magic Pen]
[Quality: Blue]
[Note: A pen that can output various colors, suitable for painters, can be used to mark special magic props. ]
Chu Ming took a look at the information of the magic pen. He first practiced with ordinary paper. After he learned how to output black, he began to write on the magic letter paper.
