Chapter 376 The Knight's Path Begins

Chu Ming stood there, feeling complicated, but not too sad.

After bringing the two people to the Demonic Kingdom, he predicted that they would disappear one day.

"But since you called me teacher."

"Then let Victor wait for me. Sooner or later I will come to your door and take your memories back."

After reciting a few words silently in his mind, he raised his head and met everyone's worried eyes.

Chu Ming said calmly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. The most important thing now is to maintain order in the city."

Trina knew that he didn't want others to worry, so she nodded and said, "I'm going to summon the knights to maintain order in the city. If you have anything you want to ask me, you can go to Mattie. I won't hide it."

Chu Ming's heart moved slightly. He knew that the woman was telling the secret of her identity.

"Well, goodbye, senior sister. I'll go back and gather the blood alliance knights to clean up the streets and help the patrol knights appease the people."

Trina and Linde led the knights to leave the ruins in a hurry and flew in the direction of the airship wreckage.

Marcus held the Book of Doors in his hand and led a group of legion knights over.

The knights saluted with serious expressions: "I have met His Highness Ren."

Crono showed a surprised expression behind Chu Ming. He asked in a low voice: "Brother, why haven't we seen each other for a month? This knight from Fengyang Empire is so respectful to you?"

Chu Ming glanced at him, bent down and saluted the knight: "Hello, gentlemen."

Marcus had a serious expression and was about to say something when suddenly a faint light emitted from the old man's robe and a harsh scream came out.

His expression suddenly changed, "No, it's an emergency assembly order."

"Something happened to the Violet Principality, how could it happen so quickly!"

The old man held back what he was about to say and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, there is an emergency at the Violet Guild, so I can only take the Book of Doors away."

"If you have anything to ask me, Mr. Top Hat can convey it to me."

"I will lead the soldiers back to defend the Violet Principality first."

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, turned his head slightly, and quickly figured it out.

The "memory" in the divination cards is the ancient memory centered on Ana and Luticia, and the "doll" refers to the puppet life alchemy, or the puppet refined by alchemy.

The "Holy Tree", "Memory", and "Doll" in the divination cards have all been obtained, leaving only the unknown "Undead".

The bloody vortex of the Violet Principality has also changed.

He thought as he watched Marcus lead the legion knights to fly into the portal.

The silver light gradually dissipated, the door closed, and Chu Ming and the other three were left in place.

Crono looked a little anxious and asked in a low voice: "Something happened to the Violet Principality. Do we want to go back?"

Chu Ming shook his head, "Wait a minute, our strength is weak, and we can't help much if we go back now."

"There are many legends there. If the Knight Legion cannot suppress the expansion of flesh and blood, we will be even more useless."

"It's better to seize the time to improve your strength."

Crono was stunned after hearing this and hesitated: "I don't know how many years it will be before my next breakthrough."

"You can study spells, but it won't improve your strength much."

Elena on the side suddenly threw a bright crystal stone at Crono. She smiled and said: "You forgot, I still have a lot of magic crystals."

Crono's eyes lit up, "You mean...hey, how can this be so embarrassing?"

The woman said contemptuously: "Who said I was going to give it to you? I was lending it to you. You will pay back as much as you use."

Crono was dumbfounded. "Breaking through the three epic stars will cost tens of thousands of magic crystals at least. I will owe you this for the rest of my life."

Tens of thousands of magic crystals, even if they were all low-quality crystals, would cost at least a million gold coins, and he couldn't even afford to sell them back.

Elena spread her hands and said indifferently: "If you don't want it, then forget it."

"Hey, don't..." Crono gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you borrow it? I'll work for you for the rest of my life."

"If the Violet Principality disappears, I will regret it for the rest of my life if I don't go back and take a look."

Chu Ming lowered his head and glanced at the crimson stigmata on his left hand, shook his head and said, "You guys can chat slowly, I'll go back first."

When the divine fire was extinguished just now, the Crimson Stigmata absorbed a lot of spiritual power. He had to hurry up and go back to digest it.

Leaving the ruined streets, Chu Ming found Miguel and others who were organizing the knights. After giving them a few words, he returned to the knight neighborhood alone.

Although the Knight Street is far away from the place where the airship crashed and is not in the main battlefield, memory golems that have been eroded by flesh and blood are scattered throughout the city, and there are many in the Knight Street.

At this time, the street was in a mess. The ground was covered with broken parts and squirming flesh of the devil. The floor tiles were blackened by various blasts, exuding a lingering burnt smell.

Under the admiring gazes of the knights on the street, Chu Ming walked through several streets and returned to the guild courtyard.

In the room, Chu Ming was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, the back of his left hand flashing with blood.

"This matter is far from over..."

He slowly closed his eyes and entered meditation.

A faint blue light floated out from Chu Ming's body, complementing the enchanting light of the crimson holy mark.

…

Late night comes.

Crono and the others returned to the small courtyard, but after learning the news that Chu Ming was retreating in the room, Crono seemed to be inspired and returned to the room and locked himself up.

This invasion has only happened a few hours ago, and the turmoil in the city has not stopped. Many citizens are afraid that the crisis will happen again, so they crowded into the Knight District overnight and sought shelter from the major Knight Guilds.

This also led to the fact that even though it was late at night, the Burning Guild was still brightly lit and there was an endless stream of visitors.

In order to deal with the excessive number of hiring tasks, the guild knights were so busy that they had no time to rest.

As a last resort, they assigned a large number of hiring tasks to the Blood Alliance Public Column, allowing other guild knights to take them freely.

Compared with the lively guild hall, the guild courtyard was much quieter.

Chu Ming and Krono were in seclusion, and Elena ran to the next door puppet laboratory to visit alone while drinking tea, watching the puppet masters chatting with interest.

In the puppet laboratory, the puppet masters were arguing over the technical improvement plan, and they were red in the face, as if the disaster in the city had nothing to do with them, and they devoted themselves to the research.

One of the puppeteers blew his nose and glared, saying, "If you ask me, there is still room for optimization of mental load. We should continue to optimize the network and connect more puppets."

Roman shook his head and said, "It's good enough. We have already stepped from the first step to the 100th step. There is not much progress if we continue to study."

"Why not design more functions and apply them to the battlefield as soon as possible."

Mia agreed in a low voice, "We have to let Mr. Ryan see the return. He has spent a lot of money on us..."

"And I found that we have not fully tapped the potential of the swarm puppets. Each black bee puppet has a relatively complete offensive and defensive integrated capability, but the damage of a single unit is not high, and it cannot withstand the attack of powerful spells."

"If the black bee puppet can be designed into modular puppets, such as shield puppets, spell puppets... Shield puppets can release shields independently, and can also be combined with other shield puppets to form a shield with stronger protective capabilities..."

"Maybe the puppet can become a spell-like existence..."

Mia was halfway through her speech, and the laboratory suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at the girl eagerly.

Feeling the hot gazes from all around, Mia blushed, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Roman smiled and clapped, "No, it's too good."

"If this plan can be implemented, the swarm puppet can also play the same effect as the powerful single puppet, and even be freer and better in some aspects."

Other puppeteers couldn't help but applaud.

Elena leaned against the door and watched the scene happily.

At this time, a polite greeting came from behind her.

"Miss Elena, good evening."

The woman turned around and saw Mattie who suddenly visited.

She smiled and asked, "Miss Mattie, you must have something to visit me late at night."

The girl nodded and said, "I have an important item to give to Mr. Ryan. I'm very sorry for visiting me rashly late at night."

Elena smiled slightly and looked at the second floor, "You came at the right time. He just finished his training."

Mattie thanked, "Thank you, Miss Elena."

...

In the room, Chu Ming opened his glimmering eyes, and the history book of time turned, and golden light emerged.

“I didn’t expect that the power emitted by the divine fire alone could make my spiritual power reach the epic limit.”

He carefully sensed the changes in the spiritual sea.

"My mental power has grown several times, so there is no problem imprinting a level 7 spell."

Just as he was about to take out the memory inheritance crystal to choose a spell, the door "knocked" and Mattie's voice came in from outside.

"Mr. Ryan, it's Mattie."

"Mattie?"

Chu Ming showed some doubts on his face. Mattie came to him late at night. Could it be that there was something urgent?

He got up and opened the door, and saw the maid with a white cloth bag on her shoulder.

"Mr. Ryan, good evening."

Mattie bowed and saluted.

"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest late at night."

"Mattie has something very important to give you. The lady said it might be useful to you."

After that, the girl walked into the room at Chu Ming's invitation and took out a hamster puppet with only half of its body and skeleton from the white cloth bag.

Chu Ming looked puzzled, "What is this?"

The girl asked, "Do you remember Miss Lutishia learning about puppets?"

He nodded, and his heart moved, "Could this be made by Lutishia?"

"Yes."

Mattie picked up the hamster puppet, "Miss Lutishia was learning to make puppets from Mattie before. She said this is a gift for you, and she wants to thank you for taking care of her and Ana."

"Unfortunately, the owner left before it was finished."

"Miss Trina said that it has undergone some changes and can help you, so Mattie came."

Chu Ming was silent for a moment and took the hamster puppet.

Suddenly, the golden light of the History Book surged, and a new card appeared.

[Semi-finished puppet with ancient breath]

[Quality: Purple ☆☆☆]

"Ancient breath?"

Chu Ming murmured, chewing on these words carefully.

After a while, he came back to his senses and thanked: "Thank you Mattie."

"I plan to go to see my senior sister tomorrow. Why don't you stay here tonight and go to the palace with me tomorrow morning."

The maid nodded, "Mattie listens to you."

After arranging a room for Mattie, Chu Ming returned to the room again.

He carefully observed the puppet in his hand, "The things left by Lutishia are still there."

"What does my senior sister mean when she said it can help me?"

After thinking for a while, he decided to test it with his mental power.

"Huh..."

Chu Ming took a deep breath, and his mental power slowly touched the puppet.

"Boom!"

The roar resounded through his mind, like the sound of a midnight bell, deafening, and the ancient atmosphere came to his face.

In a trance, the scene in his eyes was distorted, the room, the furniture... were stretched quickly, and with a "whoosh", countless flying lights flowed past him.

Reality had left him far away, and Chu Ming felt as if he was in a time tunnel at this moment.

Time went back, he saw the town degenerate into a village, the forest shrank into a wasteland...After years of vicissitudes, the black fog came and went like a tide, and thousands of palaces stood, and turned into ruins in the blink of an eye.

The knight passed by him, his clothes kept changing, the gorgeous patterns on his armor gradually faded, grew again, and exuded divine light.

"Is this a knight blessed by the gods?!"

Chu Ming's eyes trembled, his body could not move, and he could only watch the knight go away.

Suddenly a voice sounded behind him.

"Hey, uncle, what are you doing here?"

Chu Ming was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt his body loosen, as if he had broken free from the constraints of space.

He looked back.

In the chaotic scene, Lutishia was wearing holy white clothes, emitting divine light, and looked at him curiously with eyes shining with stars.

Behind her, a rather dull little knight was alert and drew his long sword to point at him.

"Lutishia..."

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt dizzy and his mind was overwhelmed. All the chaotic scenes around him faded and shattered. The soft light of the magic crystal lamp shone in, and he returned to the room.

"What was that just now?"

Fatigue and tingling flooded into his mind like a tide. He covered his painful head and found that his mental power was exhausted.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Suddenly his pocket vibrated, and the items inside emitted a faint purple light.

Chu Ming resisted the discomfort in his mind and took out the lavender crystal.

After his mind was immersed in it, a hat shadow soon appeared in front of him.

The man in the hat jumped excitedly and shouted, "Boy, what were you doing just now? How did your mind resonance suddenly break through the eighth level?!"
