Author: The fog dissipates

midsummer.

On the main road outside Black Snake Town.

The enrollment time is approaching, and Chu Ming is ready to go to Niho College in the royal capital to study.

Today is the day he leaves Black Snake Town.

On this journey, in addition to him, there was also Knight Gehai accompanying him as an attendant knight.

"Master, you have to pay attention to your safety."

Old Qiaoen smoked his cigarette and reminded worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm going to study, not the lair of some dark creature."

Chu Ming patted Old Qiaoen on the shoulder, turned over and rode on his beloved black horse.

Ge Hai interrupted with a smile: "Young master is right, you old man is always afraid of this. Why are there so many bad people?"

Chu Ming glanced at him and said in his heart: "Maybe..."

Baron Harold stood among the knights with a serious expression.

"Okay, let's set off while it's still early."

"Let's set off now, and we can still spend the night in a nearby village before dark."

Chu Ming nodded. Baron Harold was right to remind him that if they couldn't find a village or town to spend the night at night, the two of them would have to camp in the wild.

Although he is not afraid of dark creatures, it would still be quite distressing if he was harassed.

"Goodbye everyone!"

"Master, goodbye!"

Chu and Ming rode horses into the distance, until no one could be seen and no sound of horses could be heard, Baron Harold silently withdrew his gaze and turned back.

That night, due to the carelessness of an unreliable squire knight, the two of them deviated from their planned route and did not arrive at the village in time, so they were forced to spend the night in the wild.

By the campfire.

"Master, I really deserve to die."

Ge Hai beat his chest and cried, his eyes filled with regret.

"Okay, it's just the two of us here, don't get too involved and disturb me."

Chu Ming leaned under the tree, flipping through the history books, and replied without raising his head.

"..." Ge Hai scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Isn't it too quiet? I'm a little scared."

"It will be exciting when you recruit dark creatures later."

As soon as Chu Ming said these words, Ge Hai immediately shut up.

Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Ming returned his gaze to the book.

【Servant Knight Ge Hai】

[Quality: dark gray]

[Race: Human Race]

[Skills: Life Enhancement (Intermediate), Sword Mastery (Elementary)]

Although Ge Hai is a bit stupid and likes to make trouble, he is surprisingly useful.

This was the first time that he discovered that he could obtain character cards in the history book.

It seems that as long as you establish an affiliation with a historical figure, you can obtain the corresponding card.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as I become the leader of a certain knight order, I can get the knight card of the entire knight order..."

Chu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

"At least now I can use Ge Hai's cards to certify the card master without any further delay."

"No, let's wait and develop this kid's strength to a higher level."

While Chu Ming was thinking, his eyes unknowingly focused on Ge Hai who was making pancakes.

Ge Hai felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and said in fear: "Master, is there something behind me?"

"fine."

Chu Ming shook his head and chuckled.

It was just an ordinary smile, but Ge Hai felt a chill on his back, as if he had been invaded by darkness.

The following days also confirmed his ominous premonition.

Every morning, before the beast came out to look for food, Chu Ming would pull him up to practice swordsmanship.

After the practice, the two started on their way again.

Chu Ming is lucky, you can hang up.

But Ge Hai is suffering because he wakes up earlier than chickens and goes to bed later than pigs every day.

Every day while practicing swordsmanship, I shed tears and cried bitterly.

If his physical fitness wasn't different from ordinary people, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

Chu Ming also adhered to the principle of creating immortality and working hard, and continued to train him.

Ever since, within one month of going to the royal capital, Ge Hai's training results in one month were equivalent to the training results in the previous year.

Although it is difficult to improve the knight's secret skills, his swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and he is not far away from being proficient in intermediate swordsmanship.

Port Tello.

This is the closest port to the royal capital in the Luoden Kingdom, and it is also one of the destinations of Chu Ming's trip.

After paying the entry fee, the two entered the city smoothly.

He came to Porto Tello for two purposes.

One was to get familiar with the foreign towns before entering the royal capital. Previously, in order to avoid encountering trolls and crazy knights, he usually only stayed in villages and small towns overnight and never entered large towns.

However, Port Tello did not disappoint him. As soon as he entered, Black Snake Sense detected several bad auras.

The density of dark creatures here was far more terrifying than he imagined.

And his other purpose is to defect to the acquaintance mentioned by Baron Harold - the businessman Grote.

This small businessman from Port Tello was befriended by Baron Harold during his travels to Port Tello when he was young.

Although he was not a close friend, Baron Harold had a title and the illustrious reputation of his Roman ancestors. The merchant Grote wanted to fawn over Harold every day.

Walking on the street, with people coming and going, Ge Hai looked extremely excited.

This was his first time entering a big city, and for a moment, he forgot about the painful training on the road.

"Let's go, let's visit Mr. Groat first."

"Stop training for the next few days."

"What? Great!"

Ge Hai was overjoyed, with tears in his eyes, and held Chu Ming's hand and refused to let go.

"..."

Feeling the strange looks from passers-by on the street, Chu Ming calmly shook his hand off and walked towards the wealthy residential area following the passers-by's guidance.

The two walked for half an hour, crossed a bridge filled with the smell of fish, and arrived at a wealthy residential area.

"No. 20 Meiji Street..."

Chu Ming muttered in his mouth and looked at the house number. When he reached the end of the road, a luxurious manor with no end appeared in front of him.

"Is this the small businessman Baron Harold calls..."

He couldn't understand it, but he was greatly shocked.

Just when he was about to knock on the door, Ge Hai, the loser on the side, stepped forward.

"Master, I'm coming."

Dong dong dong...

There was a crisp metal sound from the iron door, and after a while, a maid with shrinking eyes and wearing a black and white dress came out.

The maid first glanced at the two of them secretly, then lowered her head and asked respectfully: "Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to see Mr. Grote."

After speaking, Chu Ming handed a letter to the maid.

"Please wait."

The maid did not dare to neglect and ran back in a hurry.
