Chapter 272: Krono's Reply, Rushing to Help

The tip of the pen rested on the letter paper. Chu Ming thought carefully. In order not to destroy this precious magic letter paper, he wrote slowly word by word. First, he greeted Crono in the letter and asked him what problems he had encountered recently. .

Then he brought up an issue that he was more concerned about - the progress of the casting of the magic pattern armor and long sword that Cronuo had promised. It had been almost two years, and there was no response at all. He was almost doubting Cronuo. Did the guy forget.

At the end of the letter, he explained to Crono the situation of the law officer of Fengyang Empire, and hoped that he could help him obtain the law inheritance.

He stopped writing. After writing a few hundred words, Chu Ming stopped the pen in his hand. The magic lines on the magic letter paper flowed, and the paper surface took on a new look. The ink of the magic pen was fixed on it.

"alright."

"show me."

Jerome took the letter written in Chu Ming's hand and looked through it. After finding no wrinkles, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll send it out for you today. I think your friend will receive it in a day or two."

Chu Ming nodded and stared straight at Jerome.

Jerome glanced at the contents of the letter. When he raised his head and found Chu Ming staring at him, the old man blushed and coughed lightly: "What are you still doing here?"

Chu Ming asked curiously: "It depends on how you sent the letter. Do you have any space magic props? You still need to contact the staff of the magic newspaper."

Jerome waved his hand angrily, making a driving motion, "What's there to see? You might as well go training if you have this free time. I see that the aura in your body is perfect, and there is a faint charm of Thunder Dragon Bird. What are you? It’s about to break through.”

There was nothing to hide, Chu Ming nodded directly, "It's still a little bit worse."

Jerome was silent for a moment, then said impatiently: "Okay, go back quickly."

"Remember, don't tell anyone about your breakthrough."

The man said with a solemn expression on his face.

In order to solve the problem of the Holy Tree of Flesh, various countries have dispatched the second batch of epic armies. During this process, the Brick family has been targeted by the royal family. Almost half of the important figures in the Brick family have been transferred. out.

And according to the current situation, there may be a third and fourth batch.

Although the Knight Tribunal has records of Chu Ming being able to leapfrog the epic challenge, they will not take the initiative to tell the royal family.

If Chu Ming goes to register his strength level after breaking through the epic, then no matter how much the Brick family wants to protect him, they will not be able to withstand the pressure of the royal family, so the best way is to temporarily conceal his strength.

In fact, concealing strength is not only done by Chu Ming, but also by the Brick family or other epic families. The young geniuses in their families who are about to break through the epics are also hiding it.

The Clinton royal family naturally knew this, they just turned a blind eye.

After all, they just want to suppress the power of the epic families in the country, but they do not want to force them to go to a dead end. At certain times, these epic families can be regarded as handy tools for the royal family, but sometimes they have to prevent the tools from being too sharp and causing injury. to myself.

"Got it, Uncle Jerome."

"Don't forget my letter."

Chu Ming waved to the man, walked into the bookshelf, and disappeared from Jerome's eyes.

The man looked at the direction Chu Ming was leaving, sighed slowly, and closed his eyes, "You can achieve an epic in two and a half years. Such talent... I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse in the storm that is about to stir up. "

…

After leaving the door of the secret room, Chu Ming walked through the bookshelves and returned to the counter of the library.

Irina was holding a notebook and crookedly practicing the words she had just learned, with a hint of seriousness in her young eyebrows.

Chu Ming smiled broadly and knocked on the table, "Irina, I'm going back. What do you think? Do you want to continue to stay here?"

Irina came back from her immersion and looked up at Chu Ming, "I want to go back with the young master."

The little maid packed up the books on the table, said goodbye to Hines, and left Brick Castle with Chu Ming.

Chu Ming stood on the street looking at the gloomy sky that was about to rain, feeling an inexplicable throbbing in his heart.

"This weather is really similar to the vision caused by the arrival of the Dark Devil's Nest. I hope nothing will happen."

Chu Ming stretched out his palm and stopped in front of him. Suddenly, raindrops fell, leaving a little rain stain on his hand.

He looked down at Irina, "Let's go back quickly, it's going to rain."

"Um."

Ten minutes later, the two of them had just returned to the mercenary guild. Thunder suddenly appeared in the clouds, and a heavy downpour suddenly fell, soaking the clothes of pedestrians on the road. Many pedestrians ran into the burning house to avoid the rain. In the lobby of the mercenary guild.

Before Chu Ming could say anything, Amy ordered the girls to make hot tea, handed it to the pedestrians who were soaked in the rain, and prepared a brazier for them to warm themselves up.

The pedestrians thanked them gratefully, and their perception of the employment guild improved a lot.

Chu Ming took the hot tea handed over by a girl and couldn't help but sigh. Miguel ran the guild three times, but he was able to do business every time. This was not without reason.

After the rain, Chu Ming returned to his daily life. Every day he was either practicing or teaching knights how to practice.

During the training process of the knights, Chu Ming obviously found that the knights' training speed had slowed down a lot, and it seemed that they had finished digesting the bloodline increase brought by the first trial.

According to the current training speed of the Knights, it will take at least five years for all members to reach the deep blue level, and after that, it will take decades to break through the epic level.

Chu Ming leaned against the wall of the indoor training ground, his eyes fixed on the knights who were training, and he couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Is there any way to speed up this process?"

After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If you want to speed up the training speed of the knights, there is only one way to improve their knight talent, and if you want to improve the knight talent, the best way is to improve their blood.

There are currently only two ways for these knights to improve their blood. One is to fight with Chu Ming and stimulate the fluctuation of the blood secret key, and the other is to obtain some magical plants and magic props that can improve the biological blood.

To stimulate the fluctuation of the blood secret key, you must have a strength that is not much different from Chu Ming. This kind of evenly matched battle can maximize the fluctuation of the blood secret key, but the knights of the Burning Knights are obviously not qualified to fight with Chu Ming. At least they must be epic.

As for the method of obtaining precious treasures that can improve blood, it is also full of difficulties.

The knights are very clear about how rare and precious the treasures that can improve the blood of creatures are. Almost as soon as such props appear on the market, they will be sold by knights. Even though the mercenary guild has been purchasing for more than two years, it has only obtained two magic fruits that can slightly improve the knights' blood. For a knight group of more than 40 people, it is not enough.

That is why the God of War Trial, which can get rewards for improving blood, can be regarded so seriously by the knights.

However, the God of War Trial is obviously not something that ordinary knights can complete. Even the knights trained by Chu Ming himself can only pass the first trial.

"The best one at present is the blood key, which has a long-lasting effect and can last until the legend."

"Is there any way to stimulate the fluctuation of the blood key without fighting..."

Chu Ming thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help shaking his head.

...

Two months later.

In the mercenary guild, Chu Ming had just finished a whole day of training.

He wiped the sweat off his body with a towel, clenched his fists, and his arms were flashing with lightning, and a terrifying force was about to burst out.

"It's almost there, I've already felt the limit."

"Give me a little more time, and I'll be able to see the shadow in the thundercloud."

After a break, Chu Ming picked up the long sword and was about to continue training.

At this time, Irina brought a strange knight into the backyard.

The knight came to Chu Ming, half-knelt on the ground, and respectfully took out a letter from his arms.

"Lord Ryan, this is what Lord Jerome asked me to give you. It is said to be a reply letter sent back from the Kingdom of Reran."

"Reply?"

Chu Ming had a hint of doubt in his heart. He opened the envelope and glanced at the contents of the letter.

"Dark Demon Nest appeared in Beltram?"

Chu Ming's expression tightened. There was no dark demon nest in the Clinton Kingdom, but a demon nest appeared in the city where Krono's family lived. How unlucky they were.

In the letter, Krono described that although the dark monsters born in the Dark Demon Nest were all phantoms, they could be vaguely blessed by the darkness of the world and transformed from phantoms into entities.

However, since the essence of these dark monsters is just a phantom, even if they are transformed into entities, their strength will not be too high, and most of them will not exceed epic.

For the Harlowen family, this dark demon nest is a bit tricky, but it is not impossible to solve.

However, after the transportation route of materials was occupied by dark monsters, Beltram was temporarily surrounded and became an isolated city. Even if Krono wanted to send the prepared armor and long sword to Chu Ming, he couldn't do it.

However, the good news is that the law officer from the Fengyang Empire rushed over after hearing that Beltram was in big trouble.

In other words, if Chu Ming rushed over to support now, he could still meet the law officer.

After Chu Ming thanked the knight who came to deliver the letter, he returned to the room to pack up his things.

Judging from the relaxed words in Krono's letter, the dark monsters only surrounded Beltram and should not threaten him, so Chu Ming was not very worried about Krono's situation.

His main purpose of setting off to the Kingdom of Reran now was to obtain the inheritance of the law and to get the magic pattern armor and long sword that had been forged.

As for the dark monsters... To be honest, Chu Ming even suspected that this sudden crisis would be resolved before he arrived in Beltram.

"It has been several years since I last saw this kid Krono. I will go to visit him by the way."

After Chu Ming made up his mind, he packed his luggage and came to the indoor training ground downstairs.

"Miguel!"

Chu Ming shouted to Miguel, who was leading the knights in front of the knights to train knights.

The man stood there in a daze for a while, and trotted to Chu Ming.

"Captain, what do you want?"

"Tell the knights to pack their things, and I will take you to the Kingdom of Reran."

Miguel's eyes lit up. He had been waiting for Chu Ming's order for a long time. The knights finally had the opportunity to follow Chu Ming out.

After he saluted Chu Ming, he went back to tell the other knights that they were going to set off for the Kingdom of Reran.

The knights' eyes lit up after hearing this. After the team was disbanded, everyone could not wait to return to their rooms to pack up.

Ten minutes later, the knights in uniform armor and uniforms returned to the training ground with great momentum. The knights formed a square formation and looked at Chu Ming, waiting for his instructions.

Chu Ming glanced at the knights, and after confirming that there were many, he waved his hand and said, "All knights go to the stables immediately."

"Yes, Captain."

The knights responded and left the training ground.

Chu Ming also left the training ground and came to the guild hall, where he found Irina secretly watching "Fairy Forest".

"Young...Master, why are you here?"

After noticing someone approaching, Irina immediately put away the books in her hands. When she saw that the person coming was Chu Ming, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Ming rubbed her head, "I'm going to leave Clinton for a while. If Nulia's mother and the others ask, just say I went to see friends."

"Master, are you going on a long trip?"

The little maid stood up quickly.

"I also need to go."

Chu Ming held her head and smiled: "I'll take you there next time, forget it this time."

"All right……"

Irina pursed her lips and looked a little unhappy.

"You can't be lazy while I'm away. Learn the knowledge taught to you by Mr. Hines."

After giving some instructions to Irina, he explained to Amy at the front desk the situation of the knights' dispatch, and told her that if anyone came to trouble the mercenary guild, let her go to Nuria to help.

After arranging everything, Chu Ming walked out of the employment guild.

At this time, on the street, the knights had taken the magic horses out of the stables. They were standing on the street, waiting for Chu Ming's instructions.

This unusual movement of the Burning Knights soon attracted the attention of passers-by. The passers-by cast their eyes on the menacing knights and couldn't help but start talking.

"It's strange, the Burning Knights actually mobilized in full force."

"It's been a while since I saw the Burning Knights going out on a mercenary mission."

"Is this the talent of the top knights? It's so desirable."

Amidst the whispers of pedestrian knights, Chu Ming wore steel armor and rode on the one-horned blood horse with heavy armor in front.

"Mount."

"yes."

He gave the order, and all the knights jumped on their horses without any hesitation.

Pedestrians focused their attention on Chu Ming, and their voices became louder.

"I heard that the man behind the Burning Knights is a Brick tribesman. I didn't expect him to be so young."

"It's strange, why I haven't seen this gentleman before."

"Maybe someone else is keeping a low profile."

"But I don't feel how powerful he is. His momentum is about the same."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Ming stood in front of the team and waited quietly for Nathan to count the equipment and supplies, and ignored the comments of these passers-by.

After a while, Nathan rode back behind Chu Ming.

"Captain, confirmed."

"Very well, everyone, come with me."

Chu Ming shouted, and the momentum in his body suddenly rose, covering the entire street. His voice, accompanied by mental fluctuations and flashing arcs, instantly reached the ears of the entire knight team.

"Yes, Captain."

The coordinated voices of all the knights sounded loudly, the reins cut through the air and made a crisp sound. The war horse roared, white vapor came out of its nostrils, and the pace suddenly started to run.

"Master, be careful on the road."

Irina and Amy waved vigorously at the guild door and watched the knights go away.

The war horses ran faster and faster, and the entire knights soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

After the sound of horse hooves gradually disappeared, everyone gradually came back to their senses.

"Who just said that the adult was weak? I was standing next to the adult, and the breath that leaked out almost made my heart stop beating and I couldn't breathe."

"I felt it too. The aura was as deep as the ocean. It was really scary."

"He is indeed a knight of the Brick family."

"Ahem..."

A knight in the crowd heard other words of praise. He looked embarrassed and slipped away quietly.

…

Outside the city of Sauron.

The crowds on the road gradually thinned out, and the war horses ran faster and faster. A ray of magical light appeared. These war horses with magic blood roared loudly, and green wind appeared around their bodies. The speed of the war horses suddenly increased, and they ran north.

Unlike the Violet Principality, which lacks magic horses, the Clinton Kingdom has many knights and numerous plain pastures. Therefore, there are many magic horse farms in the country. In addition to some epic horses specially supplied to the royal family, ordinary knights also have the opportunity to come into contact with magic horses.

The forty-eight magical horses of the Burning Knights all come from the fertile horse farm near the City of Sauron. They are called Qingfeng Horses. They are top-notch blue-level horses. They can use their bloodline talents to speed up their running speed when marching.

And the one-horned blood horse under Chu Ming's crotch, served by the guild's delicious food, had already broken through to the deep blue a year ago. Even if it is not a magic horse known for its speed, it can still keep up with the bloodline talent. The green wind war horse.

Chu Ming and his party rode their war horses towards the north at an extremely fast speed. In just ten days, they crossed the border of the Clinton Kingdom and entered the Reran Kingdom.

Just after entering the Kingdom of Reran, Chu Ming noticed a slight change. The dwarves who used to be calm no matter what they did were panicked and fled towards the city further south.

On the way, Chu Ming asked an old dwarf and realized that although the most powerful dark monsters in this dark magic tide were only epic, and most of them were at the epic one-star level, their number was astonishing. They not only surrounded Beltram, but also spread to more than a dozen cities near Beltram. Some dwarves received the news in advance and fled the city early.

This also means that if Chu Ming and his team want to enter Beltram, they must cross the surging dark magic tide.
