[You allowed Beaver’s request to board the boat. 】
[Beaver landed on the deck, still dragging the small suitcase in his hand, and introduced its purpose to you. 】
[The beaver family are natural ocean navigators and are best at drawing sea charts around the world. At the same time, they are the most devout followers of the God of Runes. They are happy to collect all kinds of magic and spell scrolls and feel the magic runes in them. A revelation from God. 】
[So the beaver clan is both chart painters and scroll collectors. They are happy to use the charts they draw to exchange various rune scrolls with humans. For them, this is a great work of art. 】
[The beaver sees your ship. A captain like you, who owns a large ship, will probably need navigation charts, so he goes after you. If you have free scrolls, he will be happy to trade with you. 】
[Do you agree to trade with it? 】
"e…"
Looking at the game text prompts, Mu You looked strange.
The beaver clan migrates and travels in the sea all year round, and is good at drawing sea charts. This is understandable.
However, a race of animals actually has the habit of collecting human scrolls, and not for use, but as collections...
Okay, that’s Beaver!
Mu You chose to agree.
He may not have anything else, but he does have the scroll!
He has not yet taken action on the "Eternal Spell" and "Wooden Clone" scrolls he obtained at the previous meeting. These are an intermediate and a high-level spell scroll, which are valuable.
He had hesitated before, whether to continue to hang up the Longteng software in exchange for points. This kind of thing was hung up too frequently, and there was a certain risk of exposure. It was best to find other ways to take action.
As a result, a civet cat who claims to be a scroll collector came to find him in exchange for something important for navigation, such as a chart...
Mu You decided to see what the other party's chart was before talking.
[You expressed that you would like to see the other party’s goods first. 】
[The beaver readily agreed and opened its small suitcase. 】
[The suitcase is wrapped in exquisite glass and contains six nautical chart scrolls. 】
[Latest version of the Underground River Map of the Langel Empire: After gathering the efforts of countless beaver travelers throughout the ages, the Imperial Underground River Map was finally produced. It is more accurate than any similar map in the world, and has explored a large number of other sea maps. Unexplored hidden rivers and exotic locations. Value: High-level spell scroll*1, or high-level magic scroll*3. 】
[Distribution map of the Knuckles Undersea Prison: The beaver clan risked their lives to sneak into the legendary ancient prison, and after sacrificing a large number of lives of their own clan, they drew a terrain distribution map. Value: High-level spell scroll*1...]
[Guaro River Basin Map...]
[A mysterious map fragment...]
[The latest version of the Cook Islands sea area map...]
【Basi sea area map...】
The six scrolls are really all sea maps, and the one that attracts Mu You's attention the most is undoubtedly the first one, a map of the empire's underground rivers.
He also has a map of the underground river at hand now, but it is just a simplified map based on Vivian's memory.
Of course, Vivian didn't do much in-depth research on places like the underground river, so this map couldn't be said to be very accurate. What's more, Vivian's memory is stuck a hundred years ago. After so many years, even the ordinary river map should have been updated several generations ago.
The map sold by civet cat is quite useful to Mu You. Not only is it in demand right now, but with this map, he can easily open up exclusive channels underground in the empire in the future.
Without much hesitation, Mu You chose to buy it, but before buying it, he held the pocket watch first.
[You paid Beaver a "Wooden Doppelgänger" scroll. 】
[You have obtained the "Lang'el Empire Underground River Map". 】
[When you get the map, you can open it and view it immediately. The river map is filled with densely packed annotations and is much more detailed than you might imagine. This is indeed a map worth the money. 】
Mu You estimated the time, and when it was about five seconds, he pressed his pocket watch.
[You use a short two or three seconds to quickly memorize a small part of the map, and then reverse the time in an attempt to defeat the wolf with nothing. 】
[Unfortunately, after time passes, you find that your head is empty, and you can't recall even half of the map you just memorized. 】
"Oh?" Mu You was stunned, what's going on? White prostitution failed?
Unwilling to give up, I repeated the steps just now and backtracked several times, but the result was the same. Every time I got the message "my mind is empty."
Now Mu You understood a little bit. It seemed that some means had been used to make these charts impossible to remember.
[Time goes back, you didn’t rush to buy the charts, but asked Beaver what was special about the materials of these charts. 】
[The beavers tell you that in the past, they encountered some wizards with clairvoyance and precognition abilities in the chart trade, which resulted in their hard work being copied on a large scale at zero cost and turned into a profit-making tool. Therefore, in order to ensure that their intellectual products are not misappropriated, the Beaver tribe will use special anti-theft methods in future chart drawings. All the charts they produce cannot be captured by imaging devices, and when someone attempts to copy the chart , the memory will be erased and the copied chart lines will disappear automatically. 】
"Automatically erase memories? Automatically erase copies?"
Mu You was surprised. This beaver clan is a bit awesome. They don't know magic, but they can actually come up with this wonderful anti-theft method. This effect has almost caught up with Lu Yao's invisible ability.
After confirming that free prostitution was no longer possible, Mu You didn't bother anymore and directly replaced the map of the underground river area.
There was one intermediate scroll left, and Mu You browsed through the remaining sea charts.
However, the other sea charts are a bit far away for him. Even if he gets them, he won't be able to go there in a short time, so changing them won't be of much use.
When Mu You was thinking about ending the transaction, a text suddenly popped up in the game.
[The Beaver saw another scroll of the Endless Technique in your hand, and saw that you were still unable to make up your mind, so he recommended another item in the box to you - the mysterious sea chart fragment (Part 2). 】
[This chart was not drawn by the beaver tribe, but a map it accidentally picked up during the voyage. However, this is not a complete map, but a fragment from a certain map, only one-ninth the size. And the map is wrapped in a mysterious mist, making it impossible to see its contents. 】
[According to the analysis of the elders in the clan, this seems to be a map specially prepared for fools. Only fools can see its contents through the black mist. 】
[Because they cannot see the content, the Beaver family cannot estimate the value, so they are temporarily selling it at the price of an intermediate scroll. 】
[The reason why Beaver recommends this map to you is because it has seen your identity as a fool, and believes that this map is the most suitable product for you. 】
"A map specially prepared for fools?"
Mu You looked strange for a moment, thought about it, and chose to redeem it first, then checked the instructions with the omniscient crystal.
[Map fragments of the Ancient City of Dawn (Part 2): One of the residences of the Fool’s ancestors, a lost ancient city, map fragments of the ruins of the City of Dawn. Collect at least three map fragments to display the content in the picture, which is only visible to the Fool. . 】
Is it actually the residence of the ancestors of the Fool?
No wonder it is only visible to fools!
The secrecy method imposed on this map seems to be much better than the beaver clan's anti-theft technique. Not only can only people of a specific race see it, but at least three maps must be assembled before the content can be displayed.
This kind of unique thing, no matter whether it is useful or not, must be exchanged for it. It is just a mid-level scroll. If it falls into the hands of other players and they want to get it back, the price will be much more than this!
[You exchanged the map fragments with the beaver using the scroll of "Eternal Spell", and asked the other party if there were no similar map fragments. 】
[Unfortunately, the beaver clan also has its own territory, at least within the Langel Empire, it has not seen similar fragments. 】
"As expected..."
Mu You secretly thought it was a pity, but this was normal. If such fragments could be easily obtained, then he would have to doubt the authenticity.
[You asked Beaver to help you keep an eye on similar map fragments in the future, and then ended the transaction. 】
[Beaver expressed his gratitude for your patronage and gave you a special whistle before leaving. If you have any more spell scrolls in the future,
The axis needs to be traded, just blow the whistle and one of its kin will arrive within a day. 】
[You obtained "Beaver Whistle"*1. 】
…
Watch the beaver jump off the Ghost in the text and drive the boat away.
Mu You then clicked on the two sea charts he had just obtained and took a look at them.
Both are square maps, but the size is very different. The underground river map is as big as a tablecloth, while the map fragment is only the size of an A3 paper.
Comparing the two pieces together, the fragmented map indeed looks like one-ninth cut from a complete map.
There was a layer of gray mist covering the fragmented map. Mu You tried every method at hand, including anti-invisibility, dispersion, omniscient crystals, jack-o'-lanterns, etc., but in the end he couldn't see through them all. It looked like he really needed to work together. At least three pieces must be collected to be visible.
Putting away the fragmented map, Mu You flattened the river map on the table and observed it carefully.
This river map is indeed extremely finely drawn. From the underground rocks and mineral reefs to the small underground wells dug by urban residents from various places, they are all clearly drawn. The dense network of rivers and various messy labels make it difficult to understand. Mu You looked a little dizzy at first glance.
Mu You patiently observed carefully and quickly found his location and the location of the empire's capital. The combination of pathways that could connect the two was as numerous as capillaries.
The Ghost was still on a relatively short route for the time being. Mu You did not rush to change the route. He continued to observe the surrounding area, but soon noticed another location.
Stanlow Freshwater Lake.
A large lake is located near the capital of the empire. This is the place where Frogzi's original letter said he was trapped, so Mu You paid special attention to it. As a result, an abnormality was immediately discovered.
