Due to the open field of vision and very few obstructions in the snowfield, the density of monsters is not high.
But the advantage is that there are few people here, there will be no monster grabbing, and you can level up in peace.
Mu You and Lin Xue formed a team and relied on War Eagle's reconnaissance to fight their way deep into the snowfield.
The monsters on the snowfield are mainly ice trolls and snow monsters, and their levels are generally between level 7-10. There are also a small number of high-level monsters such as ice spiders and ice mammoths. Their main characteristics are high attack power and high strength. For ice monsters, Spells tend to have strong resistance, but move slowly.
With the levels of Mu You and Lin Xue, the strength of the monsters here was never a threat. The two of them walked along the road and killed them with ease.
There are still five or six hours before the night operation, and Mu You's experience bar only has the last 500 points left. There is plenty of time, and he does not need to pursue speed too much.
The ghost ship actually arrived at the imperial capital as early as this morning, but it did not enter directly. Instead, it parked in an underground river far away from the imperial capital.
You cannot enter a place like the Imperial Capital too early. After all, it is the home of the Wizards Association. Not only does it have an Arcane Tower, but also a Wizard Tower. The detection of the entire city is unusual. The wizard tower is equivalent to a powerful radar device that detects everything that threatens the emperor. It's okay for players to appear one or two scattered, but it is easy for a large number of fools to suddenly gather and sneak in, which can easily arouse alertness.
The earlier you enter, the more people show up, and the higher the risk of being detected by the Wizard Tower. Therefore, in order to avoid exposing the action plan in advance, Jiuyou has discussed with Mu You before, and the ghost ship should be launched 20 times before the action at the earliest. Minutes into the city. After entering, hundreds of boarding personnel only need to cooperate with their actions from the outside, attract the enemy's attention, interfere with enemy reinforcements, etc. It is enough.
The real main force in destroying the tower still depends on the one hundred airborne personnel who enter through the floating door.
After fighting and fighting from sunset to nightfall, and collecting countless ice materials, Mu You finally successfully accumulated enough experience points and chose to upgrade on the spot. Remember in one second://xbiqu
Current level: Level 13 (experience value: 5/20480), attributes: strength 19, agility 38, intelligence 57, constitution 30, health value 5000 points, magic value 6700.
After adjusting the attribute points, Mu You raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
It was already 10:20 in the evening, and it was almost time. The two immediately put away their weapons and returned to the snowy field.
Mu You asked Lin Xue and a group of summoned creatures to enter the backpack, teleported to the vampire tomb with the backpack, went straight to the top secret room, and transferred the bodies of Vivian and Lin Xue's grandmother.
Of course, this battle will rely on resurrecting two corpses. The large number of soul points Lin Xue collected before was prepared for this time.
After sealing the two bodies into the prepared ice coffins, Mu You returned to the bottom of the tomb and teleported again.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the ghost ship.
Mu You left the captain's room and took a look outside. At this time, the Ghost was in a dark underground lake tunnel. On the carbonate stone tips above his head, it seemed like raining. Water drops were constantly dripping down, covering the entire area. The space is filled with coldness and dampness.
This is outside the Imperial City, located deep in the rock formations more than 1,600 meters underground. There are very few underground rivers at this depth. If it weren't for Beaver's map, Mu You wouldn't have been able to find such a remote river.
Back in the cabin, Mu You reopened the map and confirmed the route again.
Next, follow this underground river to the north, and after passing through a curved culvert, the terrain will gradually rise. They need to go all the way upstream, and finally reach an underground waterfall located at a depth of 100 meters underground.
This is a very special landmark in the capital of the empire, also known as the 'Upside Down River'. As the name suggests, it is said that the water in this waterfall flows from bottom to top because of the underground jets.
And as long as you take the passage up the Inverted River, you can go directly to the Imperial Capital and enter a certain reservoir.
This is the safest and most hidden way to enter the imperial capital from underground.
After confirming the passage, Muyou set the course, and the Ghost weighed anchor and set sail.
Then he went out and came to the bow of the ship.
At this time, the deck was already crowded with people. Obviously, as it got closer to the scheduled action time, no one wanted to rest. At this time, everyone was online, and the players who had previously been living in various cabins also left. He walked into the house, gearing up for the next battle.
"Everyone, we will enter the Imperial Capital in about twenty minutes. With so many people breaking into the Imperial Capital together, it is very likely that the Wizard Tower will notice something unusual. Therefore, the moment you enter the city, everyone needs to get off the boat immediately and spread out. What happens next? You have to act according to your abilities, just be careful not to be caught by the guards who are chasing you." Mu You informed everyone of this information through his identity as captain.
Jiuyou also stood up at this time and informed everyone of the location of the Arcane Tower: Zhiye Forest in the north of the Imperial City, where the Imperial Guards were stationed. The Arcane Tower was built in the center of the entire Guards camp.
A group of people on the deck nodded.
There is nothing left to entrust you with next. Mu You's task is just to send people into the city. I believe that each force has already made arrangements for what each person should do.
Time passed slowly amid the bumps of the ship.
Twenty minutes later, the ghost ship approached the Diyong Waterfall on the map on time.
Others only had the perspective of the game, so they might not be able to see clearly, but Mu Youren stood on the bow of the ship and could see it clearly. It was exactly as described on the map. Under the waterfall corridor, there was an underground jet spring that was constantly erupting. When the surrounding underground river water gathers in the center, it will be affected by the jet, forming an upward river. Through a corridor of tens of meters, the underground river water will be sent all the way to the surface reservoir.
"Everyone sit tight!"
Mu You turned around and shouted, then controlled the boat and swam towards the jet.
The closer it got to the corridor, the faster the Ghost was pulled by the airflow, and finally rushed straight into the jet range.
Mu You suddenly felt that the ship was enveloped by a burst of updraft, lifting the entire ship up and rising rapidly.
After a sudden change from overweight to weightlessness, the ghost ship leapt across a distance of just a few dozen meters. The ghost ship rushed out of the corridor entrance like a flying fish and rushed into a wide lake.
This is the official imperial capital.
Half of the players on the boat jumped off the boat immediately and dispersed in all directions, while Mu You, the remaining players, whether they were slow to react or had other intentions, eliminated them all in one go and got off the boat.
After all the players on the boat except him were cleared, Mu You continued to set up the boat and quickly sailed away from the place until he was far away from the crowd and came to a remote place at the bottom of the lake. He took out the storage bottle and put the Ghost in the bottle.
Mu You originally planned to find a place to place a dark teleportation array at the bottom of the lake, but Vivian stopped him. According to her, the wizard tower is extremely sensitive to the teleportation array in the city. Even if the teleportation array is put down, it will be quickly demolished and her identity will be exposed, so she has to give up this idea.
Mu You then put on a fortune teller skin, piloted a goblin submarine, and continued walking along the underground river to leave the reservoir.
After circling underground along the river, Mu You stepped ashore from the river at the other end of the city, put away the submarine, and simply released a fire circle technique to drive away the water stains on his body.
Then he took out Thousand People and Thousand Faces and put it on, activating deep concealment.
After making these preparations, he left the river bank and jumped onto the street.
Looking left and right, Mu You found that he was on a busy night market street.
It's a cobbled street that winds forward until it's out of sight.
There is no moon in the sky tonight, but the lights on this street are brightly lit. The light emitted by various magic lights and gems is like a winding galaxy, illuminating the entire commercial street. It is no worse than the light pollution in modern cities. .
Various strange-shaped shops line both sides of the street, and a large number of customers dressed as wizards gather in twos and threes in front of each shop to buy goods.
The closest store to Mu You happened to be a potion material store. A fat woman stood at the door of the pharmacy, shaking her arms vigorously and shouting: "Today's special price, salamander liver, if you want to buy it, hurry up..."
Mu You glanced in through the window of the pharmacy. The layout of the store was relatively messy. There were a row of barrels of herbal powders on the floor. On the shelves on both sides were bundles of feathers, fangs, claws and all kinds of warcraft. The internal organs had obviously only undergone preliminary processing, and most of the materials were still stained with blood and minced meat, which caused the smell near the pharmacy to be quite pungent. Occasionally, pedestrians passing by would pinch their noses and run by.
However, Mu You is a potion master with good eyesight. He can tell at a glance that although the store is in poor hygiene, the items inside are all genuine and high-quality.
It's right to think about it. Being able to own a store in the center of this wizarding city, which is almost the most prosperous commercial street in the world of stars, cannot be done without some real materials.
Looking down the street, there are also various specialty shops such as crucible shops, wizard clothing shops, wand shops, and magic shops.
If he had time, Mu You would really like to visit this city that represents the pinnacle of the prosperity of magical civilization in other worlds, but it's a pity that he doesn't have it.
At the corner of the street ahead, Mu You had already seen a group of fully armed Guards knights weaving in and out of the crowd, running towards here quickly.
Mu You quickly turned into a side alley. The fortune teller skin he currently wears, and he is dressed in a wizard robe and a pointed hat, which are sparse and ordinary in this environment.
Coupled with the cover of thousands of people, a group of soldiers rushed towards him. As expected, they ran out of the street and headed for another street without even looking at him.
Judging from the direction the guards left, they should be heading towards the reservoir where they just appeared. It seemed that the sudden appearance of hundreds of Fools had indeed attracted the attention of the Wizard Tower, and someone was sent to search them.
Mu You didn't waste any time. Taking advantage of the hiding effect of thousands of people, he left the street and headed straight to the north of the city.
As for the route, it is much easier to find than expected. Cities in other worlds are not like those on Earth, where there are dozens of high-rise buildings. Most of them here are one- or two-story bungalows, and occasionally there are some four or five-story buildings. Even if A tall building that stands out from the crowd.
In this case, the two magic towers in the imperial capital, which are more than 100 meters high, become extremely conspicuous.
The Wizards Tower and the Arcane Tower, a Wizards Association located in the south of the city, and a military camp located in the north of the city. If you look up casually, you can see two tall towers facing each other from the south to the north. It is difficult not to notice them.
The military camp in the north of the city is not close to the commercial street, at least fifty or sixty miles away. Fortunately, Mu You does not need to walk on two legs. After leaving the busy night market and entering the deserted street, he directly released the chocobo .
Under the speed of the chocobo, in just a few minutes, they arrived near the straight leaf forest in the north of the city.
At this time, the huge and majestic arcane tower was clearly visible. Five flickering light balls flickered at the top, slowly rotating tirelessly around. The tower was engraved with countless densely packed arcane runes, one layer at a time. Layers of invisible arcane light surged from the top of the tower, passed through the sea of people, passed through the city, and spread to the invisible distance, distinguishing ourselves from enemies and protecting the entire empire.
In the military camp below the Arcane Tower, two entire legions of Guard Knights are stationed here, and there are a large number of sentries patrolling around to prevent any suspicious persons from approaching.
Of course, Mu You did not rush directly to the military camp. Instead, he turned the chocobo and ran to the forest not far away. He found a lookout point on the top of the mountain with a wide enough view, released the war eagle, and went to patrol at high altitude.
Then he opened the backpack, released Lin Xue and Vivian, and then took out the ice coffin containing the remains of Vivian and Lin Xue's grandmother.
The next battle does not require the two of them to take action. They only need to find a safe place and supply magic power to the resurrected body through the Death Contract Formation.
After Lin Xue and Vivian appeared, they instinctively looked towards the Arcane Tower in the distance.
Lin Xue didn't have any special reaction. Like Mu You, he just sighed at the strange appearance of the arcane tower.
But Vivian, after seeing the tall tower in the distance, immediately frowned and suddenly said: "This tower... something is wrong!"
"Um?"
Mu You was stunned and quickly looked at Vivian: "What's wrong?"
"It's too far away to see clearly, but the energy of this tower makes me feel a little awkward. A real arcane tower shouldn't be like this..." There was a rare uncertainty in Vivian's tone.
"Isn't this the Arcane Tower?"
Mu You was startled and hurriedly ordered the war eagle to get closer and check it through the omniscient crystal.
However, the result of the feedback was the 'Arcane Tower'.
"It's the Arcane Tower, right?" Mu said.
Vivian shook her head and thought for a while before saying: "The name is Arcane Tower, but it may not be the original Arcane Tower. It may be a defective product or a substitute. In short, the aura of this tower is not right, specifically. Yes or no, you have to be close enough to determine.”
"No way……"
Mu You's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
If this is not an arcane tower, then all the current arrangements are just a cover-up set up by the Wizards Association. The purpose is naturally to attract players to attack and waste precious tower-breaking manpower on this substitute, thereby ensuring the success of the real arcane tower. Safety, this is completely logically reasonable.
The problem is: this arcane tower was built bit by bit from scratch in full view of the alien residents of a city. If this is not an arcane tower, then where is the real arcane tower?
It's impossible for something so big to be built quietly and then become permanently invisible, right?
"Actually, there is a place where a tower can be accommodated without being invisible or attracting any attention..." Lin Xue pushed up her glasses at this time and suddenly looked in one direction.
"you mean……"
Mu You looked in the direction she was looking and reacted immediately when he saw something standing in the distance.
Yes, the only way to make a tall tower completely invisible is to put a taller tower on the outside of the tower.
And the only place in this city that can do this is the other tower of the Twin Towers, which is one of the symbols of this wizard city, the Wizard Tower!
Mu You took a deep breath.
The Wizards Association is really impressive. They actually built a real arcane tower inside the Wizards Tower!
This was a huge gamble. This move not only deceived the Fool, but also deceived the entire residents of the Star Spirit Realm. Even the insiders of the Wizards Association probably didn't know much about it. Only in this way could this kind of concealment be achieved. Effect.
