"Sure enough, martial law has begun..."
In an alleyway in the imperial capital, Mu You looked at the scene of groups of guard knights patrolling the streets outside and sighed secretly.
The war here ended, the Arcane Tower disappeared, and the Fool regained his freedom of movement. He originally thought of taking the opportunity to stroll around the city, but when he came to the street, he realized that he had thought too much.
Because of the battle just now, almost all residents and shops in the imperial capital are hiding in their homes and staying behind closed doors.
On the streets, a large number of Guards Knights have also begun to implement the curfew strategy. They can't tell who is the fool now, but they don't need to tell. They directly block the city and let everyone stay at home. The rest are still wandering on the streets. There is no doubt that a fool will drive away one when he sees one.
The curfew had started an hour ago. At this moment, the players were either offline or had evacuated the imperial capital through the South City Gate. The airborne team also hurriedly collected some building debris and returned to the sky in time, returning through the high-altitude floating door. of the earth.
"Let's go out of the city and come back during the day?" Lin Xue suggested behind him.
"It's meaningless. There was too much noise tonight. The blockade cannot last for just one night. Leave a teleportation array and go directly." Mu You shook his head.
It would be more troublesome for others to come back after leaving the city, but they have dark teleportation and can come back at any time.
Of course, the teleportation array is not placed casually. If the teleportation array is placed in an important place like the imperial capital, it will be demolished sooner or later.
After thinking about it, Mu You still felt that the area near the underground jet spring where he entered the city before was the safest.
Mu You then let Lin Xue and Vivian get into his backpack, and he rode a chocobo to the reservoir.
The reservoir is quiet and silent late at night. The bluestone embankment extends dozens of meters deep to the smooth, mirror-like water surface. Under the dark sky, the entire reservoir looks like the mouth of a monster that chooses to devour people.
After Mu You put away the chocobo, he jumped into the lake below, swam all the way to the bottom, and soon found the jet tunnel underwater.
This jet tunnel is a one-way street. You can only go up from the bottom. If you jump from the top down, you will definitely be sprayed back.
But this was not a problem for Mu You. He directly entered the rock formations at the bottom of the lake with an Earth Entering Technique. He dived all the way and soon came to the underground river dozens of meters below. He found a hidden position and placed the Dark Teleportation underwater. Array.
Mu You then took out the wine bottle and poured out the ghost ship inside.
With a loud popping sound, the Ghost rushed into the river along with the water in the bottle, quickly changed back to its original size, and rolled the surging water waves on the river.
After being sealed in a bottle for half the night, all the skeleton crew members immediately rushed out of the cabin and cheered on the deck.
Mu You entered the captain's room and gave the ship spirit a new route to leave the imperial capital along the way he came.
After watching the Ghost sail away, he jumped into the water, stepped into the teleportation array, teleported to the vampire tomb, and resealed the remains of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue.
It was just three o'clock in the morning, and there were still fourteen hours before closing time. The two of them were not in a hurry to go back. Since they came to Misty Mountain, they simply started practicing on the spot.
After the open beta, it is almost impossible to find comfortable leveling areas like Devil's Seabed and Rotten Swamp. Basically, all leveling areas can be met with players gathered together. There are more wolves and less meat, and it is impossible to grab monsters. It can't be stopped.
Mist Mountain is relatively good. Due to the steep terrain and mist, not many players can go up to more than a thousand meters. Two people wandering here can encounter a monster in about ten minutes on average. One day Once you get down there, you can earn a little over a thousand experience points, and you can easily collect the herbs you encounter along the way. The overall benefits are pretty good.
With their strength, the monsters in Misty Mountain are no longer difficult at all. The two of them summoned a few summons and pushed them all the way.
Time passed quickly, the two of them traveled from the south of the mountain to the north of the mountain, and the sky gradually entered the morning.
After arriving at the north of the mountain, Mu You stood on a rock halfway up the mountain and looked down. He happened to see the thatched houses and courtyards at the foot of the mountain below hidden in the morning mist.
, couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue noticed something strange about him and asked.
"It's nothing... just keep practicing, I'll go down and take a look." Mu You said hello to Lin Xue and went down the mountain alone.
The hut of the farming old man, he has not been back for almost a month in the game, but in reality, this is the first time he has come here in person.
Following the mountain path to the foot of the mountain, Mu You saw the small courtyard in front of him.
The small courtyard itself is not big and looks a bit dilapidated, but the scenery is quite elegant, and there are several acres of farmland behind the courtyard with criss-crossing roads. Counting the fields, the total area is actually quite large.
The small courtyard and the farmland behind it are all fenced. Although it may look like a low fence, it is a magic item after all. Once fenced, a barrier will be automatically established. The area within the fence is a personal residence. Without the permission of the owner, Others cannot force their way in at will.
After the open beta, a large number of players poured in. This small courtyard must have been visited by many players. Perhaps to avoid being disturbed, the door of the courtyard was closed tightly at this moment, and the courtyard was quiet.
It was only half past five in the morning, and the sky was just getting light. Mu You didn't intend to disturb the old man's rest so early, so he planned to look at the yard from a distance.
Unexpectedly, I immediately saw an old woman on crutches standing in front of the courtyard in front of the courtyard. She was also looking around, as if she was looking for something, and soon noticed Mu You in the distance. There was joy on his face, and he waved to him from a distance, inviting him to come over.
Mu You was a little surprised. He was not wearing the skin of a herb gatherer now. He was wearing vampire skin just now when he was going down the mountain quickly...
With doubts, Mu You walked over.
"My child, you are finally back!" The old man looked at him with a smile, his face full of relief.
"How... did you recognize me?" Mu You asked awkwardly.
"Haha, after all you have lived and ate here for a month, can I still not recognize you?" the old man said with a kind smile.
Mu You did not delve into this issue. The old man had known for a long time that he was not a real herb collector, but he still treated him as his own child.
"Your horn." Mu You took out the harvest horn from the ring and handed it back to the old man.
The old man took the horn, rubbed it nostalgically, looked at Mu You and asked, "Did it help you?"
"Of course, it helped a lot." Mu You nodded. Not to mention the role of the Harvest Horn itself, the "crazy growth" of the black magic converted from the Harvest Horn has frequently been highlighted in recent times, and the credit cannot be said.
"That's good." The old man smiled happily and nodded, while already pulling him to go in: "You have been running around for a month, you are tired, come in and have something to eat."
Mu You was pulled in by the old man and sat down in the main room, while she went to work in the kitchen.
Mu You turned around and took a look. The house was not big, with simple tables and chairs, simple decorations, mostly bamboo and wood products, and it was neatly taken care of.
It looks simple and elegant, but most of the home facilities are relatively backward after all. Now that there is a space ring, materials can be easily transported. In the future, some daily necessities can be sent from the earth to help the elderly improve their conditions.
After a while, the busy sounds in the kitchen quieted down, and the old man walked out with a porcelain bowl and placed a bowl of rice porridge in front of Mu You.
Inside the white porcelain bowl were diced pieces of various grains and vegetables, mixed into colorful colors. It was the colorful rice porridge that his game character had eaten many times before.
Seeing this magical rice porridge with his own eyes in reality, Mu You realized that both the appearance and the smell were much better than imagined.
I picked up the spoon and took a bite. The rice porridge was soft, glutinous and smooth, with alternating sweet and salty flavors. It was fragrant and fragrant, and the taste was impeccable.
After eating spoonful after spoonful of the thick porridge, Mu You immediately felt as if there was a strange magic surge in his body, flowing into his limbs and bones, not only completely restoring the magic power he had lost, but also restoring the magic power he had lost in the battle last night. All fatigue is eliminated.
The old man looked at him and saw that he was eating deliciously, and he was also very satisfied.
He smiled, but after looking at it for a while, he suddenly noticed something and said with some surprise: "The aura of the elves... It seems that you have traveled to many places during this time."
Mu You was reminded of this incident and told the old man about his experience in the elves some time ago and his encounter with Granny Spindle.
"Spindle... what a nostalgic name." The old man smiled with emotion, then looked at Mu You and said, "If you want to learn how to make wine, you don't have to go as far as the elves. I can do it at home. teach you."
"Oh? Is that okay?" Mu You's eyes lit up. He thought that the skills taught by the elves would probably have some rules that prohibited them from being passed on to others.
"Haha, the elves live a loose life and don't have so many rules. Moreover, they will not teach the truly important skills to others, and they will not interfere with the skills that have been taught." The old man said with a smile.
This was an unexpected surprise for Mu You.
In the following time, he did not go to level up anymore, and learned the brewing techniques from the old man at home.
Different from the common distillation method on earth, winemaking in other worlds uses magical means, so that the final wine can have various magical effects.
Brewing can be regarded as a broad and profound profession in life. It is not much easier to learn than potions. Moreover, because each brewing time is too long, there is no shortcut to repeatedly brush up the proficiency by using pocket watch + Fool card. It is difficult to actually learn this thing. No less time consuming than Potions.
However, the old man was very happy to teach, and Mu You also learned very seriously, from selecting grains, processing methods of grains, to making koji, and brewing techniques... Each step takes a considerable amount of time. According to the old man As she said, she also spent two years studying in the Elf Forest before she completely mastered the art of brewing wine.
From early morning to afternoon, a whole day passed. In the end, Mu You only just mastered the step of selecting grains, and the other steps were still at the entry level.
Mu You was absorbed in learning when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. He turned around and found Lin Xue standing at the door of the courtyard, tapping her wrist at him.
Mu You raised his wrist and looked at the time, only to realize that it was already past four in the afternoon, and the closing time was still more than half an hour away.
"Grandma, it's time for me to go." Mu You looked at the old man and said apologetically.
The old man seemed to have expected this scene and did not stop him. He nodded with a smile and warned: "Remember to go home on time for dinner in the future."
"good."
Mu You nodded. Now that there is no annoying thing like the Arcane Tower, he no longer has any scruples. He can come back at any time in the future.
Mu You and Lin Xue then transferred back to the snowfield through the teleportation array in the courtyard, and took out all the things in the backpack that needed to be taken out, including the newly caught magic fish during this period, the dragon eggs in the breeding bag, and the frogs. A bunch of tadpoles and the comatose goblin...
After everything has been transferred to the pet store, it's almost time.
Mu You guarded the door, waited for five o'clock to arrive, closed the door on time, and asked Vivian to take back the card.
At this point, all matters related to this trip are over.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, collected the card, turned around and immediately took out his mobile phone, turned it on, logged into the forum, and browsed the news.
Now that a full day has passed since the war started, if there are no accidents, there should be a lot of news now.
As expected, the home page of the domestic forum has been wiped out by today's server-wide mission.
They successfully bulldozed the arcane tower of the opposite empire, and also performed exceptionally well, dealing a heavy blow to the Wizards Association. This time, the entire domestic server mission can be regarded as a complete victory.
There has been widespread celebration on the domestic Internet, especially this time it was an achievement achieved through the unity of everyone. Most people contributed, which makes it even more precious.
Those who have won the title of "Tower Breaker" are now like stars in forums and games. A large number of IDs with the title post various posts on the forum to show off their presence.
In addition, the most popular posts are gossips about two mysterious masters.
During this tower push, the main player team and the support team originally encountered considerable obstacles. However, two legendary masters appeared in the middle to support them, one was level 25, and the other was level 27. It was the timely joining of these two masters that restored the situation that was about to collapse, and finally defeated the Wizards Association.
There is no doubt that these two are the biggest contributors to this battle!
The identities of these two mysterious masters are also the focus of everyone's gossip. Among them, the level 27 player has been confirmed to be the mysterious individual player who had a prominent performance in the World of Warcraft invasion in the Yangtze River Basin. According to people familiar with the matter, this boss owns a ghost ship and calls himself "Ghost". captain".
The other person's name has not been revealed, and there has been no trace of him before, as if he suddenly appeared in this incident. Because she uses a scythe and fights as a girl wearing a red cloak, I don't know who first gave her a more appropriate name, "Red Scythe Girl", and it became so popular on the forum.
Ghost Captain and Red Scythe Girl are already the top two most searched terms in domestic forums. Unfortunately, searches for these two names in forums and games show that they do not exist.
In other words, "Ghost Captain" is just the pseudonym of the boss, not the real game ID.
There are quite a few people who want to register these two names. Unfortunately, the IDs of all players have been determined when they first went online on the day of the public beta, and there is no chance to modify them. The Fool's official website has now closed the qualifications for new account applications. New players who have reached the age will not be able to apply for an account on the Fool's official website until New Year's Day every year.
There were quite a few people with similar IDs appearing as imitations before and after, such as "Captain Soul", "Captain of the Undead", "Hatchet Girl", etc. However, the real person involved never appeared.
"Where's the red sickle girl!"
Lin Xue was also browsing the news at this time, and naturally saw this hot search. She smiled strangely at Muyou, then took out the substitute card she got, entered the game to activate, and tried to apply for "Red Scythe Girl" ” ID.
"I'll try too..."
With a sudden thought, Mu You also took out his stand-in card, opened the game, and activated it.
A prompt immediately popped up in the game.
[Please choose an ID for your avatar, which must be within seven characters. It must not be the same as an existing ID. This ID will be used in both the Fool Game and the Fool Forum. Once confirmed, it cannot be modified. 】
Muyou first tried "Captain Ghost", but a prompt "This ID has been occupied" popped up.
Delete it and enter "Ghost Captain" again.
The name was not occupied and passed smoothly.
[Confirmation completed, you have obtained the stand-in ID: Captain Ghost. The friends and titles of the real body and the stand-in are independent of each other. When making friends or speaking in forums, you can choose to use your real or substitute ID. 】
After creating the identity, Mu You also took advantage of the fact that the discussion on these two names was still hot, so he went to the forum and left a post on the spot.
Post this title in the forum and tag Jiuyou. Jiuyou's ID in the forum is also called Jiuyou, so coming to him is a way to verify your identity.
As soon as the post was posted, a reply popped up below almost at the same time.
"Red Scythe Girl: Upvote!"
Mu You turned around and looked at Lin Xue.
Lin Xue smiled and gave him a victory gesture: "It seems that both names are still there."
Muyou nodded. Everyone's IDs were determined on the day of the open beta. New players after that would not be able to apply for an account until New Year's Day every year. No one took these two names on the day of the open beta. Now the only way to register is It is only possible for those who have a substitute card, but those who can obtain a substitute card will not be so boring.
This is good, as both of their identities are authenticated at once, and they will have enough voice on the forum when needed in the future.
His post contained hot words, which was quite eye-catching, and several new replies quickly appeared.
"Here comes another one to heat up..."
"This time the replica looks very similar.
Just one word missing. "
"???Broken Tower Star?"
"Wow, the poster and the first floor are both trending at the same time? You are very creative. Did you two discuss it?"
"!!!"
"Holy crap, this title blinds me!"
"So...is this me?"
…
After a brief period of doubt, the subsequent floors quickly turned into shock and admiration, because Mu You had already hung up the shining "Broken Tower Star" title, which was displayed in real time even in the forum.
Other things can be faked, but this unique title cannot be faked.
Then, on the 30th floor below, Jiuyou appeared and replied "Okay" along with an emoticon of worshiping the great god.
The Jiuyou account is a certified forum account with a level of 54. Many people have seen it, and it is impossible to fake it.
He responded personally, and now everyone was completely convinced that this was the account of the legendary boss!
As a result, this post instantly became popular and was manually pinned to the top of the homepage. Countless players flocked to the post to worship the great god.
As for Mu You, he also received a large number of friend requests in an instant. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and turned off the "Accept Friend Application" option in time, so he calmed down.
Afterwards, Mu You ignored the post and looked at the international forum. The Celestial Dynasty was not the only one who started to destroy the tower today. Many other forces saw that the situation was good and followed suit and started taking action.
And these countries that followed the trend have actually won consecutive battles. So far, among the sixteen countries that have taken action, thirteen arcane towers have been bulldozed! Of course, there are still failures. According to news on international forums, tower-driving operations in North America, Indonesia, and Australia have all been blocked because of the presence of legendary masters.
On the Chinese side, there were corresponding legendary masters who showed up to check and balance, and they succeeded in taking the tower. Other countries did not have such good luck. When they encountered legendary masters, they all suffered setbacks on the frontal battlefield and suffered heavy losses.
Especially in North America, it is said that four legendary figures appeared at once!
As soon as Mu You saw this situation, he knew that the wizard elders in the imperial capital must have all retreated to the corresponding empire in North America. And judging from this, the Wizards Association seemed to want to move its headquarters directly to North America.
In other words, what North American players now face is the difficulty of pushing down towers before the Chinese Dynasty, and it is even higher, because these elders are on guard and will not be as careless as before... Mu You also feels for North America in his heart The players observed a moment of silence. Their tower was basically destined to fail.
Muyou then searched again, but found no information about the Sky City map fragments. It seemed that the players who got the final blow, or the forces behind them, all chose to keep the news secret.
However, paper can never contain fire. After all, this news cannot be kept for too long. As more and more arcane towers are destroyed, sooner or later someone will break the news...
"By the way, boss, I have a courier for you. Someone delivered it during the day." At this time, Xiaoya on the other side of the door suddenly called Mu You.
"express delivery?"
Mu You was startled. He didn't seem to have shopped online recently.
"Who sent the express?"
"It's...well, who is it? I can't remember..." Xiaoya knocked on her head, once wondering if her memory was suffering from premature aging.
Mu You walked over and took a look in confusion.
The so-called express delivery is just a cardboard box wrapped with tape. It is a bit exaggerated in size, but it is very light to carry.
After confirming that it didn't look like a bomb, he opened the box and found that it was filled with a box full of golden flowers.
[Sunflower*306: A magical flower that only grows in the hottest places in the spiritual world. It can store light energy efficiently and serve as a light source when placed in a suitable place. 】
