Chapter 316 Preparation Before the Storm
In addition to the level increase, Chu Ming also imprinted a fifth-level spell called Earth Rejuvenation.
The spell effect is more powerful than Savage Growth, and the range is larger. The target of the spell is no longer limited to individuals, but can be effective for everyone within the range.
After meditating in the room for a while, Chu Ming quickly adapted to the increased power.
"Before the breakthrough, I could tie with the top knights in the epic two-star. I don't know if I can fight with the epic three-star after this breakthrough."
He clenched his fist and then loosened it, got up and walked out of the room.
Chu Ming had been away from the guild for four days. He knew nothing about the changes in the guild and the City of Sauron, and he also needed to personally understand the progress of the implementation of the elders' plan.
Although he just came back, there are many things to do.
"The family's plan may not succeed. The royal family or the evil god's followers may have a backup plan. I have to be prepared for the failure of the plan."
Chu Ming thought, walked through the courtyard corridor, through the cold training hall, and came to the guild hall.
Since the epic legion capture incident a few months ago, the number of knights and employers coming and going in the guild has decreased a lot, and the guild has not recovered until now.
There are few knights in the guild hall, and Amy has a rare free time to study spell books carefully in the backstage.
"Amy."
Chu Ming shouted at the girl, she was stunned for a moment, raised her head and saw Chu Ming, and hurriedly got up and walked over.
"Lord Ryan, do you have any instructions?"
Chu Ming glanced at the knights walking in the hall, "Let's talk while we walk."
After that, he turned into the back hall.
Amy hurriedly followed, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully.
Chu Ming turned around and asked, "Did anything happen in Sauron City during the days I was away?"
Amy smiled and said, "I heard that Lord James from the Royal City has left Sauron City."
"After he left, the guild's business has improved a lot."
"James returned to the Royal City?"
Chu Ming paused and fell into thought.
It would be strange if James didn't go back after such a big thing happened in the Royal City.
And as the son of the general of the kingdom and an orthodox royal legend, James is more worthy of the trust of the royal family at such a critical moment.
As for Agris, she lost the trust of the royal family the moment she put pressure on James with the Mage Conference.
For the royal family, calling her back may cause more trouble.
"In other words, is Sauron City safe now?"
Chu Ming relaxed a little, and he said to the girl in a serious tone: "Amy, some big things may happen in Clinton Kingdom in the next few days. If you don't see me coming back, you can temporarily take everyone in the guild and my mother Nuria to follow Krono to the Kingdom of Reran for refuge."
Amy's heart tightened, she gritted her teeth and asked: "Lord Ryan, is there anything I can help with?"
Chu Ming chuckled and shook his head, "Leading everyone out of Clinton Kingdom is the biggest help to me."
The girl lowered her head, "I understand, Lord, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task you assigned."
Chu Ming patted the girl on the shoulder, chatted with her for a few words, and then walked to the courtyard alone.
"Krono seems to be making an elemental body recently. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be in the room now."
Chu Ming walked through one door after another and stopped at the door of Krono's room.
Before he knocked on the door, the sound of Krono and Elena arguing came from inside.
Krono said in distress: "Alas, another batch of materials wasted."
The woman sneered: "It's because you are too stupid."
The man retorted: "You are stupid, I am a rare genius in the Mage Tower of Violet King City."
"Don't make me laugh."
"You..."
After listening to a few words, Chu Ming knocked on the door.
"Dong Dong Dong..."
The quarrel in the room quieted down, the door was opened with a "creak", and Krono poked his head out from inside.
"Ryan?"
Krono showed a happy look on his face.
"How do you have time to find me? Come on, come on, I encountered a lot of problems when making the elemental body, and I need your answers."
The man opened the room, revealing a room that was as messy as an alchemy workshop, with various reagents and materials placed on it.
On the floor, a semi-finished elemental body lay quietly. Elena, who was sitting next to him, noticed Chu Ming's gaze and waved to him.
Chu Ming took a look and followed Krono into the room.
He apologized, "Krono, I'm sorry. I came to ask you for help this time. I think it's better for you to ask Elena about the elemental body."
Krono was stunned, "Do you need help?"
Chu Ming nodded and said, "Some big things may happen in Clinton Kingdom in the next few days. I would like to ask you to lead everyone in the guild to temporarily escape Clinton Kingdom and go to Reran Kingdom for refuge when things get worse."
"What about you?"
Krono asked.
Chu Ming said helplessly: "I have other things to do. If I don't come back, you can take the guild members and leave Clinton Kingdom."
Krono stared at Chu Ming for a while, and reluctantly agreed: "I hope you don't do anything too dangerous."
Chu Ming smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's a small matter."
He added secretly: "It's just a small matter of participating in the fight between dozens of legends."
"Okay."
Krono nodded.
Just as Chu Ming was about to say goodbye and leave, Elena, who was quietly listening to the two people's conversation, spoke.
"Brother Ryan, I'll go with you."
Chu Ming looked down at Elena, and paused in his heart, "Elena, I think it's better for you to stay with Krono."
The woman smiled and said, "Where I go, you can't control it."
She stood up and said lightly, "In the eyes of Teacher Agris, you are much more important than the so-called royal family. Don't worry that I will hinder your plan."
Chu Ming's heart condensed, "Do you know the plan?"
Elena chuckled and said, "I don't know, I guessed, and I'm not interested in any plan. The teacher's order to me is to protect you, that's all."
Chu Ming stared at the woman, and the smile on her face did not change.
He sighed and compromised, "You can go with me, but there are some things I can't tell you, you need to avoid it in time."
Elena glanced at Krono and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not a follower like Krono."
"Humph, you are a follower."
Krono snorted coldly and turned his head away.
"I'm leaving the city of Sauron today. Chrono, remember what I said."
Chu Ming gave Chrono a hug.
Chrono said solemnly: "Leave everything to me. I won't let any guild member get hurt."
"I believe what you said."
Chu Ming stood at the door and waved goodbye to Chrono, and Elena followed him.
Chrono hesitated, his eyes stayed on Elena for a while, and shouted: "Be careful."
The woman suddenly turned around and met Chrono's eyes. She rarely said anything sarcastic, but just nodded to Chrono, and then followed Chu Ming away.
Chrono watched the two leave and sighed, "Chrono, you are really useless. You can't help at all."
He muttered and closed the door, "I have to hurry up to make the elemental body, so that my success rate in obtaining the family's archmage inheritance can be increased by a few points..."
In the corridor, Elena walked out for a while and stopped where she was.
"Brother Ryan."
Chu Ming turned around and looked at the woman.
"What's wrong?"
Elena took out a copper cover pocket watch with complex patterns and put it in his hand.
Chu Ming looked down at the copper pocket watch in his hand and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"The prop I use to store the elemental body."
"I will fall into a deep sleep during this period and will not wake up until you are in danger."
"Keep it well."
As the woman finished her words, her body became more and more illusory, and wisps of cold air were drawn out of her body and merged into the copper cover pattern and gemstone mirror of the pocket watch.
Chu Ming asked curiously: "What will happen if I destroy this pocket watch?"
The woman laughed.
"You can try it if you don't want to get beaten."
She joked, "Also, I will wake up from time to time during this period. If I find that you have lost the necklace, I will complain to Teacher Agris. You actually treated my senior sister like this."
Chu Ming said helplessly, "Okay, I will keep it well."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Elena."
"Um..."
The woman's voice became weaker and weaker as her body disappeared, until it disappeared.
In Chu Ming's hand, the silver-white bracelet exuded a chilling coldness that penetrated the skin of his palm, penetrated into the blood vessels and bone marrow, and rushed straight to his forehead, making him more awake.
He shook his head, put the bracelet in his pocket, and walked down.
"The guild's affairs have been arranged, and it's time to go to the royal city to have a look."
"Before that, let's find the Green Lake and the Green Vine first."
After asking several maids who passed by, Chu Ming walked in the courtyard and found Irina playing in the garden.
On the grass, Irina and the new maid Mina sat on a tablecloth filled with sweets, chatting and laughing, weaving wreaths with wild flowers and weeds.
"Master... Master, good morning."
The two were having fun, and Mina was the first to notice Chu Ming coming over. She stood up a little stiffly and bowed to him.
"Master!"
Irina's eyes lit up, and she waved the wreath in her hand proudly, "Look, this is what I made for Mina, isn't it beautiful."
Chu Ming smiled and approached the two, and rubbed the heads of Irina and Mina with his palms.
"It looks good, but what about mine?"
Irina blinked her eyes and said confidently: "Young Master, you are so shy. Mina is a child, so you must make it for Mina first."
Chu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't really want to do it. It was just a joke.
"By the way, where are Green Lake and Green Vine?"
Irina and Mina looked at each other and she shook her head. "The fairy sisters went out, but they said that the young master will be back today, so they will try to come back as early as possible."
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Chu Ming found a flat piece of grass next to the tablecloth and lay down, squinting his eyes comfortably.
"Young Master, are you tired?"
Irina and Mina came over and asked with concern.
"I haven't been so leisurely for a long time. I feel a little sleepy."
Chu Ming yawned and enjoyed this leisure time. When he left for the royal city, he would be busy. The enemies he faced were all very scary. It would be better to take the opportunity to enjoy it.
"Hehe... Master, I'll give you a massage. Mother Valerie said that massage can relax you."
Irina's cold little hands made circles on Chu Ming's forehead.
"I... I'll help too..."
Mina pinched his shoulders with her hands awkwardly.
"Thank you, Irina, Mina."
Although he wanted to say that he was too weak and it was like a tickle, he still couldn't say it out loud. His head was drowsy and he fell into a deep sleep.
...
I don't know how long it took. When Chu Ming woke up, the sky gradually darkened, and only a faint yellow glow remained on the edge of the sky.
He propped up his body and suddenly felt a foreign object on his head. He took it off and found a woven wreath.
But after such a short while, the flowers on the wreath had all fallen off.
"You really woven it for me."
Chu Ming chuckled and looked to the side. He saw Irina and Mina wearing wreaths on their heads, sleeping on the tablecloth, and snoring from time to time.
Chu Ming and the others were covered with clean blankets, which seemed to be covered by a passing maid.
"Lord Ryan, are you awake?"
Green Lake's gentle voice sounded from not far away, and she walked to Chu Ming in human form.
Chu Ming put away the blanket and asked them, "When did you come back?"
Green Vine's voice sounded from Green Lake's body, "I came back a long time ago, but my sister didn't let me wake you up."
Chu Ming thanked him, then his face straightened and asked about the situation in the royal city.
Green Lake comforted, "Lord Ryan, don't worry, there is no big thing happening in the royal city for the time being."
As she spoke, there was a hint of doubt in her tone, "But those evil god believers seem to be indulging the spread of the gray fog power, and now the whole city is surrounded by gray fog."
"I don't know what they want to do, but as long as the ground veins are blocked, the roots of the gray fog can't escape."
Chu Ming thought about what Green Lake said, and he couldn't figure out what Princess Katie wanted to do.
"Green Lake and Green Vine, please help me take care of Irina and Mina. I'll go back to my room to prepare."
"Well, Lord Ryan, go ahead."
Chu Ming bid farewell to the two for the time being, and returned to his room to put on his armor.
"Magic Forbidden Armor, Sword of Guidance, Dark Shadow, Green Staff of Life..."
After everything was ready, he returned to the garden.
In the garden, Irina and the others had already left, apparently to have dinner, leaving only the human form of Green Lake muttering to himself.
"Green Lake and Green Vine, let's go."
Chu Ming waved to the two.
Green Lake came back to his senses and asked, "Lord Ryan, do you want to finish dinner before leaving? Irina should be waiting for you for dinner now."
Chu Ming shook his head and said, "Forget it. If this little guy knew that I went out wearing armor, he might be worried."
"Let's just leave."
Green Lake nodded, waved his hand, and the green light enveloped the two of them. "Lord Ryan, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to Steen Town first. The elders should be there."
Steen Town is only 20 kilometers away from the Royal City. This location is outside the exploration range of the Royal City Legend, which also makes it convenient for them to quickly reach the Royal City to participate in the fight.
