Mu You then followed the tree man and left the World Tree.
Originally, he wanted to wander around the Emerald City, but the tree man followed him as if he were on guard against thieves, and a 'No Passage' text would pop up wherever he went.
As for placing a teleportation array, there is no need to think about it. After all, dark teleportation means "darkness" and it belongs to the dark magic. If you place this kind of teleportation array under the World Tree that represents life, you will not be attacked by the elves.
Unable to go anywhere, Mu You had to follow Xiaoya back to her forest.
[You left the backpack of the 'Pea Breeder' and returned to the 'Pea Tribe'. 】
'Pea Tribe' is the name of the area under Xiaoya's jurisdiction. Well, the name she named herself was adopted by the system...
[You release the scout beetle and let it go to the forest to gather information on your behalf. Under investigation...]
After Mu You came back, he had nothing to do for the time being, and he didn't want to go out and waste energy by wandering around during the day, so he released the beetles to collect some information and try to find a suitable place to plant trees.
When someone is in the Star Spirit Realm, the sound returned by the beetle can be directly transmitted to his ears, but this is not possible in the game. The game character will only automatically filter out enough useful information, and then every few to dozens of minutes, A text will pop up.
[In the Owendo freshwater lake of the Qingnang tribe next door, there seems to be some special movement at night these days...]
…
[An ancient tree of knowledge beside the road in the north of Pea Forest has recently developed strange lesions. It fell into a deep sleep a few days ago, which may be a sign of its impending end...]
…
[The Farstrider Rangers just returned yesterday. The powerful forest rangers cleared out a group of bandits entrenched in the southern jungle, rescued several compatriots, and brought back rich trophies, which were distributed among the plundered people. clan members...]
…
[It is said that in the Emerald City, three more elderly elves who died yesterday turned into elves and merged into three thousand-year-old trees, giving birth to three new tree seedlings. May the God of Elves bless them to grow up... 】
…
[The 'Spindle Granny' Dalton Weaver who lives in the west of the tribe is looking for some spider silk cotton. If you have damaged clothes, you can go to her to repair them and help her by the way...]
…
"Um?"
Mu You's eyes lit up when he saw the latest text that popped up.
Granny Spindle, this nickname sounds like an elf who is good at spinning. Since his clothes can be repaired, can he also get his fishing nets repaired?
"Xiaoya, do you have a map of your forest?" Mu You looked at Xiaoya who was shining the light of evolution on the grass in the distance to the animals.
"Map? It's in the notebook in my bag, but I haven't finished exploring it yet..." Xiaoya answered. At this time, she was holding a scepter in one hand and a silver-backed brush in the other hand to comb the animals around her.
The animals were all lying comfortably on the grass enjoying the light, and Coke was even lying on all fours, belly exposed, and purring loudly in his throat.
In the creek next to it, the mermaid also quietly showed his head, lying half of his body on the bank, half-squinting his eyes, enjoying the light comfortably.
Mu You didn't bother her, left the space, went downstairs to rummage through her bag, found the notebook she mentioned, opened it and took a look.
"Well……"
Rather than saying it is a map, it is more like just a random doodle. It only uses crooked lines and words to record a few important locations. The concept of direction is very indifferent, and there is no labeling of east, west, north, and south.
Fortunately, the game has already pointed out that Granny Spindle is located to the west of the tribe.
Mu You then followed the relative positions of the buildings marked on the map, took a few steps in the game, and made full use of the information brought by the backtracking. After spending four points of physical strength, he finally found the residence of Granny Spindle.
[You meet the famous 'Spindle Granny' Dalton Weaver in the Elf Forest in an old courtyard full of flowers. 】
[Grandma Spindle sees you and greets you to come in from a distance: A strange young man? But I feel a familiar aura from you...]
When he met the weaver, Mu You was stunned by the first words he spoke.
The familiar smell...referring to The Fool?
Is this an elf who hates fools?
If this is the case, it will be a bit troublesome. I am afraid that repairing the fishing nets will go to waste...
Fortunately, the next sentence of game text dispelled his doubts.
[Grandma Spindle asks if you know an old man named 'Farmer'? When the farmer was young, he came to the Elf Forest to learn wine-making skills from an old elf. He also became friends with her at that time. Now, she can feel the aura of her old friend in you. 】
It turned out to be the old lady’s friend…
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Only now did he know that the old woman had also been to the Elf Forest when she was young.
[You took out the harvest horn and confirmed your relationship with the old farmer. 】
[Grandma Spindle asked you about the current situation of the old farmer, do you tell the truth? 】
Mu You hesitated here, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing to hide. It was impossible to hide the identity of the Fool anyway, so he simply said it.
[You didn’t hide anything and chose to tell everything truthfully. 】
[Grandma Spindle is sad about what happened to her old friend, but your honesty also won her respect. 】
[If an old friend can hand you the Harvest Horn, it means that she sincerely regards you as her grandson. Whether it was because of your frankness or the sake of being an old friend, Granny Spindle felt that she should take care of you, so she asked you what you needed. 】
Sure enough, it didn’t make it difficult for him to tell the truth!
Muyou wrote 'repair fishing net' in the input box.
[You ask Grandma Spindle to repair your broken fishing net. Granny Spindle said that this is very simple, but she has run out of textile materials on hand and needs you to go to the freshwater lake of the Qingnang tribe in the west and collect ten pieces of 'Spider Silk Cotton'. 】
[You triggered the normal task 'Collecting textile materials'. 】
[Task content: Go to the Qingsang tribe located on the west side of the Pea Forest, find the place where spider silk cotton grows by the freshwater lake, and collect more than ten pieces of cotton. Mission reward: Repair the damaged fishing net. Task time, no limit. 】
【Whether to accept? 】
"accept."
This 'Qingnang Tribe' was mentioned in the news that Beetle snooped about earlier. It seems to be right next door to the Xiaoya forest, so it shouldn't be far away.
Mu You got on the donkey and headed west. After two hours of traveling, he finally entered the so-called Qingnang tribe territory.
As the game progressed, Mu You also felt more and more how important it was to have a fast mount.
Now the donkey's speed was obviously not enough, so he had to find a way to get a new mount as soon as possible.
[Because spider silk cotton grows on the edge of the lake. You searched along the stream in the Qingnang tribe and finally found a lake at the end of the stream. 】
[On the edge of this clear and calm lake, there are a total of four spider silk cotton plants growing, but two of them have been picked, and the cotton bolls are empty. 】
[You step forward to pick the remaining two cotton plants and obtain Spider Silk Cotton*2. 】
He only picked two pieces, but it didn't matter. As long as the plants were still there, he had plenty of ways to speed up their growth.
[You blew the harvest horn, and the surrounding water plants and the four picked cotton plants slowly began to grow. Tens of seconds later, the cotton bolls were once again filled with fluffy cotton. 】
[You stepped forward to pick cotton and obtained Spider Silk Cotton*4. 】
[You have blown the harvest horn again...]
…
After that, Mu You continued to cycle through blowing the horn and picking cotton.
The mission said that he only needed ten pieces of cotton, but that was only the material for him to weave the net, not even the reward. Granny Spindle also needed a lot of cotton.
After all, he is a friend of the old lady. Since Mu You has the means, he must try his best to collect as much as possible.
However, Mu You soon discovered that this kind of magic was not unlimited. After blowing the sound ten times in a row, a prompt popped up.
[The plants in this area have reached the maximum growth limit today and cannot continue to grow within 24 hours. 】
"Can it only be done ten times a day..."
Mu You exhaled, but thinking about it, even if his magic power is unlimited, the fertility of the land is limited, and it will definitely take time to recover.
Fortunately, after ten times, the number of cotton has reached 42, which should be enough for a while.
Mu You counted the cotton and was about to return when an unexpected prompt popped up in the game.
[You were hit from behind and fell into a dazed state for two seconds. 】
[The opponent took the opportunity to snatch the harvest horn that you had no time to put away, and then stabbed you several times, clearing your health. 】
[You have died, your life span is -1, and your remaining life span is 429 years. 】
"Um???"
Mu You was shocked. He was unexpectedly attacked and taken away in a wave.
Since his level has reached a high level, he has rarely died in the game. The last time he died seemed to be the time when he was attacked and killed by a thief.
But this time it was also a sneak attack. He couldn't even see the identity of the other party, and he was completely dead. He was still robbed of his things while he was dizzy.
"It's interesting!"
Mu was amused and pressed the pocket watch decisively.
He didn't expect that there would be blatant robberies in the Elf Forest. He felt that the simple elves wouldn't be able to do such a thing. Could it be another player's fault?
[You went back in time. Knowing that there was someone hiding around you, you became more vigilant and took out your wand to be on guard, without giving the other party any chance to take advantage. 】
[This time the other party did not dare to show up again. You summoned the shadow war eagle and patrolled the surroundings for a week. Unfortunately, you did not find any hidden figures. 】
"Not really?"
Mu You was stunned. What was going on? There was no invisible person around, so who was sneak attacking him?
After thinking about it, Mu You opened the panel and clicked 'Arcane Missile' in the magic bar.
[The strange situation at the moment makes you suspicious, so you used arcane missiles. The missile flew out, followed a zigzag trajectory, and quickly hit a patch of grass by the lake. 】
[The next second, the missile exploded, and a slender figure was blown out of outline under the magic light dust. 】
[That’s a forest troll! These moss-covered trolls have unimaginable vitality and can heal themselves even if they are seriously injured. Moreover, the wizards among the trolls often master some difficult voodoo magic. 】
[Level 11 Forest Troll Assassin: Attack power 60-70, health value 4500, magic value 0, has abilities: hiding, sap, backstab, regeneration from severed limbs. 】
Mu You clicked on the description of 'Hidden Escape'.
[Hidden: When you stand still for more than three seconds, you will fall into a state of deep hiding and cannot be detected by ordinary anti-stealth methods. 】
It turns out that there is such a thing as deep concealment. No wonder the war eagle can't take a photo!
After the wild monster exploded, Mu You decisively stepped forward to fight.
This troll is an assassin, with high attack power and powerful sneak attacks, but its frontal combat effectiveness is not strong.
Mu You and War Eagle cooperated and spent some time, but finally successfully killed the opponent.
[You kill the forest troll assassin, your life span is +1, your experience value is +11, and you get a troll horn. 】
[The troll's habitat is located to the west of the Elf Forest. It is the mortal enemy of the forest elves. The two sides have been at loggerheads for many years, but they have never been able to eliminate each other. The forest of elves is protected by the World Tree, and there is an invisible natural barrier covering the edge of the forest. The infiltration of hostile creatures like trolls will inevitably be known to the elves. 】
[But now no one has noticed the infiltration of the trolls. This thing makes you feel strange. Maybe you should take this troll horn to find the Farstrider Rangers. They are the main force against the trolls. 】
"oh?"
Elves and trolls are enemies, and now the trolls have sneaked into the elves' land without being discovered...
Mu You looked at these paragraphs of text and felt as if he had grasped a corner of some task chain.
[You stopped a passing forest elf on the road, hoping he would take you to the ranger unit. 】
[The elf asked you vigilantly what you wanted to do. You told the other person what just happened and took out the troll horn as proof. 】
[The elf is well aware of the importance of this matter and does not dare to delay it, so he quickly fires the signal gun for you. 】
[After a moment, a group of senior rangers flew from the sky riding hippogryphs and landed in front of you. 】
[Farstrider Ranger Force: A group composed of the most elite rangers among the forest elves. They have been responsible for guarding the frontier of the Elf Forest for thousands of years. For a long time, joining the Ranger Force has always been regarded as the most heroic and glorious symbol of the elves. 】
[You hand the troll horn to the captain of the ranger unit. 】
[The Ranger Captain listened to your battle just now, affirmed your contribution, and expressed his gratitude to you. 】
[You have gained 100 points of Elf Reputation. You have opened Elf Reputation. Current reputation level: Friendly. 】
"Is this the end?"
Mu You was dumbfounded. He was still looking forward to triggering some follow-up tasks, but after handing over the items, he was given some reputation and dismissed...
Mu You clicked on the text of 'Elven Reputation' and looked at it.
[Reputation of the Elf Tribe: The evaluation of the Elf Tribe's friendliness towards foreigners. If you reach 'Friendly', you can move freely in areas of the Elf Forest except the Emerald City, and will not be expelled. Reaching 'Respect' will gain the right to enter the Elf Training Hall. 】
Mu You carefully checked the entry for 'Training Hall', and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
The so-called training hall is a place where elves train and develop special abilities. There are hundreds of elves' talents and exclusive magics, which can be learned and mastered by spending time training in it.
Of course, it will only be open to elf insiders like Xiaoya.
For foreigners, even if they enter the training hall, they can only learn a few fixed abilities, and they also have to spend a high amount of elf reputation to redeem them.
But even so, these talents are also very useful, such as 'night vision' and 'shooting', which made Mu You very envious.
The night vision ability allows a person to see as clearly in the dark as during the day, and the shooting skill allows him to double the range when using a bow and arrow.
These two abilities are passive talents that do not require the consumption of magic. Learning them can permanently improve his combat effectiveness. Especially night vision, it is really useful for night owls like him who often move at night!
In addition, there are some elf fighting skills, jungle climbing, carving skills, etc., which are also good abilities.
However, as the price of powerful abilities, the asking price is naturally high. Several abilities that can be learned are not less than 1000 reputation. For example, night vision and shooting skills require 1500 reputation to learn, and they must reach the 'respect' level favorability. , which itself requires more than 3,000 reputation!
Mu You still has no idea how difficult it is to gain reputation, but he knows that it is impossible for the elves to easily spread their skills to other people. To achieve these reputations, it will definitely take a lot of time and energy.
[After bidding you farewell, the ranger troops mounted their hippogryphs one after another, preparing to leave to investigate the traces of the trolls. 】
Seeing that the ranger troops were about to leave, Mu You hurriedly asked the characters to catch up and clicked on the interaction of the ranger captain.
[You stop the hippogryph and ask the ranger captain for help. 】
[The Ranger Captain thought about it and agreed to your request. 】
[Congratulations, you triggered the hidden mission 'Investigating the Source of Trolls'. 】
[Task content: Find the method and location of the trolls sneaking into the forest in the Elf Forest, and capture a troll alive as evidence.
Mission reward: 1000 points of elf reputation.
Mission Time: Before the Ranger Force finds the source of the trolls. 】
【Whether to accept? 】
Sure enough, the follow-up mission was triggered!
Mu You was overjoyed. The mission was to find the source of the trolls. The reward was pretty good, giving him a thousand reputation points.
However, the difficulty of this mission is to capture a troll alive, and to do it before the ranger troops discover it...
Mu You is not very worried about this. Now he is the only one who knows the actual location of the troll, and he also has a pumpkin lantern. If he goes to the lake to take pictures at night, he might be able to find footprints and the like.
This matter was not urgent and could only be done at night. Mu You first rode his donkey back to Xiaoya's residence, then went outside Sunset City through the teleportation array and collected the fishing nets.
Without the mermaid causing trouble, today’s fishing net finally yielded a harvest!
[You pull the fishing net and get an extremely heavy weight, giving you a premonition of a good harvest. You put away the fishing net and saw a half-meter-long fish tied inside. 】
[Large Bearded Fish: After feeding the pet, a large amount of experience will be increased, the pet's growth progress will be greatly improved, and the pet will gain the ability to breathe underwater. 】
Only one fish was caught in the net, but it was a big fish half a meter long, and the effect is quite powerful. In addition to increasing the growth of the pet, it can also add an 'underwater breathing' talent to the pet, so that the pet can swim in the water. In combat and action, this ability is very practical!
Mu You immediately killed the bearded fish and took it out.
A fat fish with several slimy beards and a huge body appeared in Mu You's hands, weighing at least forty or fifty kilograms.
"grumble!"
As soon as the magic fish appeared, the little spider on the roof suddenly showed its head, swung a piece of spider silk down, ran to Mu You, and looked at him with drooling eyes.
It was a pity that Mu You had no intention of feeding this fish.
"Be good, I'll use this fish. I'll feed it to you when I catch new fish next time."
Mu You comforted the little spider, because the mount in the game was too stretched, and he was going to feed the fish to the chocobo. He had to train a qualified chocobo first and bring it over next time he came in.
The little spider left disappointedly and went back to his nest to continue sleeping.
Mu You went to the kitchen and cut the fish into pieces.
This fish is so big that it is definitely impossible to feed it all at once. Muyou cut two kilograms of fish and kept the rest in the refrigerator. Then he took the cut fish into his backpack and found the best one among the ten chocobo babies. Fish meat was fed to it.
Now these chocobos have grown to the size of chickens, and their bodies are covered with golden feathers. They run wildly in the pasture every day. They finally have some embryonic forms of chocobos, but it is still early to want to ride them as mounts. Very.
This chocobo, which was under special care by Mu You, immediately ran over to the fish when it saw it. It chewed hard before finally eating the fish. After eating, I obviously grew taller. I went to the chocobo pile to compare myself, and I was probably about five centimeters taller than the other chocobos.
Mu You was very satisfied. If he continued at this rate, by the time the fish was finished eating, it would have grown to the size of an adult chocobo.
To report, the current order is 10442, and the high order is 14319. From tomorrow, two updates of 3000+ will be resumed. Thank you to all the book friends who have read this.
