"Give it back to me! That's my thing!"
Mu You ran in front, but when he turned around, he saw the goblin chasing after him with red eyes, as if he was chasing down the enemy of his whole family.
Originally, it was almost impossible for a small goblin to catch up with him.
Unexpectedly, after the goblin chased him for a few steps, his figure suddenly swelled and quickly swelled into a round ball. He let out a chirping cry and rolled on the ground at high speed, approaching him in the blink of an eye.
"Wait a minute, why does this picture feel familiar?"
Mu You's eyelids twitched, and he immediately recalled the text descriptions of being attacked by self-destructing fish countless times in the game.
Without having time to think about it, he subconsciously reached into his pocket and pressed the pocket watch.
Almost at the same time as the pocket watch button was pressed, the goblin rolled behind him, and sure enough, he self-destructed on the spot, exploding into countless flames all over his body.
The next moment, time flowed back to five seconds ago.
"Gan, are all alien creatures popular in self-destruction..." Mu You cursed secretly and continued running away.
"...That's my thing!"
A familiar sharp scream sounded. Mu You looked behind him with his peripheral vision and quietly held the wand in his sleeve.
Sure enough, the goblin turned into a ball and rolled over again.
But Mu You was prepared this time. He saw that the opponent was close to within one meter, and just when he was about to self-destruct, he started to apparate.
"boom!"
Violent explosions and flames enveloped the streets below, and the goblin's body disappeared without a trace in the explosion.
At this time, Mu You had appeared on a roof not far away.
Looking at the empty dark street below, the goblin did not resurrect nearby. It was obvious that it had bound its residence in the city and would be teleported directly back to the house after death.
Mu You didn't stay nearby either. This guy would definitely go bring reinforcements when he returned. He had to escape before anyone noticed.
After running for a while and passing a stone bridge, Mu You jumped directly into the river below. He followed the underground river and circled the city for more than an hour, and finally landed on the other side of the city.
At this time, piercing sirens sounded throughout the city.
This incident was very serious. Some people dared to rob in the city openly, and they simply ignored the city security forces.
A large number of people dressed as guards were running quickly through the city with weapons, and each of them held a brand new wanted notice in their hands.
With his eyesight, Mu You could see clearly from a distance. The wanted poster showed a fisherman with a big beard, a square face, and extremely thick eyebrows. His features were quite easy to identify.
Who is this?
Mu You glanced at his reflection in the water. It was right that it wasn't him anyway.
Of course, he still changed his attire and put the bamboo basket into his backpack. Then he specially found a passing city defense army and waved it in front of him a few times, pretending to pass by by chance.
As a result, the man just glanced at him casually and ran away immediately, ignoring him at all.
Mu You was completely relieved now, and became more and more satisfied with the Thousand People and Thousand Faces prop.
This prop doesn’t look very strong in the description, but the actual effect is great when used. It is perfectly immune to wanted items. It is simply a must-have item for killing people and stealing goods!
After looking at his watch, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Mu You found a deserted place and took out the things he had just snatched from the goblin.
A map, a blood contract scroll, a beetle, and a punching stone.
He was already familiar with the blood contract scroll and the punching stone, so he just threw them into his backpack and ignored them.
Mu You first opened the map and took a look.
The map is an old sea chart with blurry lines. A triangular sea area is delineated with dotted lines. Obviously this is the 'Devil's Sea' in the mouth of the goblin, and somewhere to the right of the center of the triangular sea area, Another mark was made with a cross, which is also the only mark on the entire map. If nothing else, this should be the place where the Ghost shipwrecked.
Looking towards the corner of the map, around this triangular sea area, several prototypes of land were faintly revealed, with some place names marked on them.
Among them, the place closest to the Devil's Sea is called Heim City, which is also a coastal city under the Ranel Empire.
After confirming the destination, Mu You put away the map and took the beetle to look at it.
It turned out that this was not a real creature, but a mechanical bug!
According to what the goblin said at the time, this thing was the latest alchemical product.
Alchemy is similar to potion science. It is also one of the popular skills in the Celestial Spirit World. It is an academic school that favors mechanical and magical engineering, such as muskets and gunpowder in the Celestial Spirit World, most magic lamps, magic instruments, and some mechanical alchemy. Biology, etc., all belong to the application scope of alchemy.
The goblin race is a genius in this area. It is said that in the southern part of the Celestial Realm, where goblins gather, a professional goblin laboratory has been established to specialize in the study of gunpowder and alchemical biology.
In fact, the technological content of many tools in this world is not weak, equivalent to that of the earth in the early 18th century, and many products, with the blessing of magic, have effects that earth technology cannot match.
The only thing they are lagging behind is probably because the clean and efficient energy source of magic is available, so the star spirit world has not developed the branch of science and technology "electricity", so that there is a blank in the electrical age and the information age, resulting in It seems that technology is relatively backward.
Getting back to the topic, Mu You looked at the beetle in his hand, which was only the size of a fingernail.
This little thing is a product of alchemy, and its function is to be used as a bug. Because it looks the same as an ordinary bug, it is difficult to be detected, so it is very suitable for gathering intelligence.
Mu You really needed information now, so he decisively input magic power to activate the beetle.
With the influx of magic power, Mu You suddenly felt that there was some kind of connection between his mind and the beetle.
As soon as he let go, the beetle fell to the ground, crawled out, walked around the nearby streets, and finally found a tavern that was still brightly lit in the middle of the night. It climbed along the wall to the window sill, hid in a flower pot, and Buried himself in the soil.
As the beetles were in place, Muyou's ears immediately heard a series of chaotic sounds, coming from various diners in the hotel.
The news these people talk about is very mixed, and they talk about everything from all over the world. Mu You patiently discerned that for a foreigner like him who was unfamiliar with the place where he lived, every piece of information was useful.
After listening for about half an hour, Mu You mastered an important piece of news: In the central square of Sunset City, under the Wizard Tower, there is a teleportation array. As long as you pay, you can go directly to various parts of the empire!
It would be much easier to handle with the teleportation array!
Mu You immediately took the beetle back and walked toward the center of the city.
If he continues to stay, he might have a chance to get some more valuable information, but he doesn't have much time this time. 24 hours, almost 5 hours have passed, and he doesn't have much time to waste on this kind of inefficient information. Search on.
According to what the drinkers said, the teleportation array was built near the wizard tower. From this, it was known that it was the territory of the Wizards Association, and there must be a large number of local wizards from the Celestial Spirit World gathered there.
Even when the Arcane Tower did not appear before, ordinary players would not dare to approach that place. The relics can cover up the Fool's aura so that ordinary people cannot feel it, but it does not mean that it can also hide it from those high-level wizards. That kind of place is equivalent to throwing yourself into a trap.
But Mu You has a mask, so there is no need to worry about whether it is there or not. The effect of absolute concealment is so overbearing.
Arriving all the way to the square in the center of the city, Mu You found that there were quite a few people waiting for teleportation.
The crowd formed a long queue in front of the tower, and at the front of the queue were two teleportation arrays filled with arcane brilliance, one going out and the other coming in.
Mu You quietly mingled with the crowd and waited, listening to the movement in front of him.
Of course, there is a fee for sitting in this teleportation array. Every time a few people are teleported, a magic ore must be added to fill the energy, so the fee is not low.
Mu You listened to those people revealing the names of places, and then the mages guarding the magic circle quoted prices. The lowest life expectancy was five years, and the highest one was even 30 years!
Mu You is not sure whether this teleportation array really consumes so much, or whether most of the profits go to the Wizards Association.
After queuing for nearly half an hour, it was finally Mu You's turn.
Mu You showed his token to the soldier in front of him. The soldier looked at it briefly and then let him go.
"Where are you going?"
"How long does it take to live in Helm City?" Mu You asked first.
"Heim City, ten years of life." The middle-aged wizard who was sitting behind the table and responsible for controlling the formation said without raising his head.
It’s so expensive…
Mu You muttered secretly. Fortunately, he only took this trip, so he could leave his teleportation array behind. This kind of one-time consumption is still acceptable.
However, Mu You did not rush to the teleportation array, but asked one more question: "Then how long does it take to live in the capital of the empire?"
This time the wizard finally raised his head, looked Mu You up and down, then looked at the black iron identity token in his hand, frowned and said: "The teleportation direction of the empire's capital is currently not open to civilians."
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that the Wizards Association was quite careful. In order to delay the Fools' approach to the capital as much as possible, they simply blocked the city's access roads.
"Where on earth are you going?"
Seeing that Mu You didn't leave, the wizard became a little impatient.
"Go to Helm City."
Mu You walked onto the teleportation array.
The wizard pressed a few switches on the table with an expressionless face, and then threw a magic crystal into the funnel of the instrument in front of him.
A beam of light shot up into the sky, instantly drowning Mu You's sight.
[You paid the cost of the teleportation array, and the life span is -10. 】
[You passed through the teleportation array and came to Helm City from Sunset City. 】
After another slight dizziness, the scene in front of Mu You changed and he came to a new world. However, this time the dizziness was much better than the dark teleportation, and he got used to it in less than a second.
