A library that turns people into ghosts...
Mu You kind of guessed how this silent lady died.
[After answering your question, Jingmo Niang started reading the book she just read, indicating that you can help yourself and call her cat if you need anything. 】
Mu You was not in a hurry to leave. Although the store was deserted, it was still a normal bookstore. He walked around the store. Unfortunately, most of the books here were books on popular science, autobiographies, history of magic, geography, and literature. None of them were too precious. Books are for sale. It’s okay to check out the knowledge occasionally, but it’s not worth buying.
But Mu You finally bought something.
[Automatic path-finding letter: A letter with paper wings. If you write a clear enough name or identity on the envelope, it will automatically fly to the target location and deliver the letter. It is only available to targets in the same city who have opened a magic mailbox. One-time thing. Price: 1 year life. 】
One year's lifespan, converted to more than 8,000 yuan per envelope!
Mu You clicked his tongue, it was really expensive.
No wonder most wizards keep an owl on hand. The owl is equivalent to an unlimited number of route-finding messages, and can also send messages across cities, which is extremely practical.
But there is no way, Muyou has no owl available now, and has not registered his identity in the city, so he can only make do with this high-end gadget.
[You paid Maolizi 1 year of life. 】Remember in one second://xbiqu
【䱱Received 'Automatic Pathfinding Letter*1'. 】
After the purchase was completed, Mu You took out the wayfinding letter and looked at it. It was an ordinary white envelope with paper wings on the left and right sides of the cover, filled with blank letter paper.
Taking out the letter paper, Mu You found a quill and wrote the content of the Star Spirit Language on the paper: "Your cat is in my hands. If you want your cat, come to Chengdong Reservoir alone at eight o'clock in the morning. Don't tell anyone else." people."
After writing, Mu You put the letter paper back into the envelope and looked back at Coke: "Coke, what is your master's full name?"
At this time, Coke was lying on the bed with his legs in the air, his eyes rolled white, and he was already half asleep. Hearing this, he opened his eyes in a daze: "Master? What master?"
After a few seconds, it suddenly woke up and jumped out of the bed: "Yes, Master, I still have a master, Meow!"
"Nonsense." Mu You rolled his eyes.
"Muyou, have you found my master?" Cola asked excitedly.
"Not yet, I'm looking for it. Why don't you write a letter to your master?" Mu You shook the envelope in his hand.
"Oh, my master's name is Krissy Fuya, who belongs to the Swinburne magic family. She is the eldest daughter of Earl Joseph, a seventh-year student at the Red Rose Academy, and a genius witch who has won three Red Rose Stars... You can't Wrong writing." Coke hurriedly jumped on the table and supervised Mu You to write down its owner's name completely.
After writing his name, Mu You put the envelope into the game and chose 'Enter Magic'.
[You activated the pathfinding letter and the target was successfully locked. 】
[The envelope automatically took off and flew in the direction of Red Rose Academy. The letter is being sent and is expected to arrive in twenty minutes...]
After delivering the letter, Mu You took a submarine and transferred to the Chengdong Reservoir, and returned to the old lady through the teleportation array under the reservoir.
Then I quit the game and went to a shopping website to order a batch of things for the elderly.
Electrical appliances cannot be used in the star spirit world, and the rules of the two worlds are different. Medicines and health products cannot be taken randomly. The old lady only looks old in appearance, but in fact her body is much healthier than many young people on the earth.
So in the end, Mu You only picked out some household items that didn't require electricity, such as beds, shoes, hats, kitchen utensils and the like.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Mu You was woken up by Lu Yao's phone call again.
When I went downstairs, I saw that Lu Yao, still dressed as a witch apprentice, had appeared at the door of the store.
"You pick three of these."
Mu You yawned and took out five pieces of unused fine equipment from the ring.
"so much!"
Lu Yao opened her mouth in surprise and looked at him: "Are you going to take action on the rest?"
"Well, let's wait for now, we won't be out for a while..."
Mu You shook his head. He now had a lot of idle high-quality equipment on hand, but he still wanted to wait and see when the synthesis furnace could be repaired, and then synthesize these idle equipment into advanced equipment.
"All right……"
Hearing what he meant, Lu Yao guessed that he had a way to continue upgrading his equipment, so she didn't force it, so she picked three items that were useful to her and put them away.
"Did you read the new announcement in the early morning?" Lu Yao suddenly asked before leaving.
"Announcement?" Mu You was startled. He had slept peacefully all night, but he just woke up and didn't know anything yet.
"Let's go to the game and take a look. A new announcement was just posted in the game at around 4 o'clock, and the forum is abuzz with noise." Lu Yao said.
"Oh? Let me see..."
After watching Lu Yao leave, Mu You went to brush his teeth and wash his face. He turned on his phone and clicked on the game to take a look.
Sure enough, just after going online, several highlighted texts popped up.
[As of 4:00 sharp, the number of arcane towers destroyed: 19/36. Remaining time limit: 4 days, 20 hours and 3 minutes. 】
[Given that the completion progress of the limited-time mission 'Destroy the Arcane Tower' has exceeded 50% and the remaining time limit is less than seven days, the incentive support conditions are triggered. 】
[Rescue mission released: Looking for the lost city in the sky. 】
[Task target: All Fools. 】
[Task time limit: no limit. 】
[Mission Objective: How can the Fool’s descendants wander in other clan’s lands for a long time? Forgotten people who have lost their homes, please go find the hometown where the Fool’s ancestors once lived, and build the Fool’s own city on those twelve ancient cities in the sky! 】
[Task description: The map depicting the location of the Sky City is divided into nine map fragments, 12 cities, and a total of 108 map fragments. 36 of them are hidden in the reward for destroying the Arcane Tower's "Final Strike", and the remaining fragments are scattered throughout the Star Spirit World. Collect the fragments and piece together a complete map to find the location of the Sky City. 】
[Map fragment rules:
1. Collect three fragments of the same map and the map content will be displayed.
Second, when all nine fragments of a certain map fall into the hands of the Fool, arrows will appear on the backs of the nine fragments, pointing to the direction of the nearest other map fragments (in the same plane).
Third, map fragments cannot be bound. When the map fragment carrier is attacked by other Fools, level suppression will be ineffective.
Fourth, when the nine fragments gather in one place (the distance between each other is no more than 100 kilometers) and meet 'Rule 5', the entrance to the sky city will be opened.
5. The city in the sky will be opened in the order of dawn, dawn, dawn, sunrise, rising sun, scorching sun, sunset, dusk, twilight, starlight, dark night, and eternal night. Only after the previous city has a city lord, the next city in the sky will be opened. The entrance will be opened.
6. The ownerless city in the sky, only the Fool and his familiars can enter. 】
[Task reward: The first fool to touch the inheritance crystal in the center of the Sky City will automatically become the first city lord of the Sky City for a one-year term. The city lord has the right to appoint the deputy city lord and other positions of the city. Including the city lord, each person can only hold one position at the same time. 】
"Rescue mission..."
Mu You's brushing of teeth stalled.
He guessed right, the map fragments couldn't be hidden for long.
There was no need for other players to break the news. The game official announced the information themselves, and it was in the form of a server-wide mission...
These lines of text contained a lot of information. Mu You quickly finished washing up, went back and read the task several times, and came to some conclusions.
The first is the reward of this new mission, a word that all players cannot refuse: City Lord!
The first person to find the Sky City will become the city lord!
The text does not detail the rights of the city lord, but I would like to know that as there are only twelve positions among billions of players, this power must be astonishingly great!
The city lord can appoint deputy city lords and other positions. These positions are definitely beneficial, but each person is limited to only one position... In other words, when you become the city lord of one city, you no longer need to dream about other cities. There will never be a situation where multiple city lords are served by the same person.
After the rewards, there is the most important thing, the six fragment rules.
The first one is to display the map content after collecting three fragments. Mu You already knows this.
However, the second and third rules below seem to be rules that encourage fragment owners to compete with each other.
The second is that when all the fragments of the same map appear, each fragment can guide the direction of other fragments. To put it bluntly, this is a naked attempt to seduce the fragment owners to find and snatch other people's fragments.
However, a bracket condition is added to this article, and the pointing arrows are only in the same plane...
In other words, the fragments on the earth will only point to other fragments on the earth. Similarly, the fragments in the star spirit world will only provide guidance within the star spirit world.
Fortunately, the Star Spirit World has poor traffic, and there are barriers and monsters all over the place. With only a vague direction to guide them, it is very difficult to find other fragment owners in the huge Star Spirit World.
But on a globalized earth, because transportation is too convenient and information is too developed, as long as you have a fragment in your hand, it is easy to locate the locations of other fragment owners in a short period of time.
Therefore, with the restriction of this rule, Mu You's two fragments cannot be kept on his body in the future. They need to be stored in the game as much as possible, otherwise they may be found at any time.
The third rule is even more brutal: map fragments cannot be bound, and when the person carrying the fragments is attacked by other fools, there will be no level suppression!
It cannot be bound, which means that the fragments can be exploded through killing, and the owner of the fragments is not suppressed at any level when attacked by other fools. This is equivalent to a kind of protection for the owner of the fragments, preventing those weak fragment carriers from being attacked by expert players. Take your pick.
At the same time, if two fragment carriers attack each other, there will be no equal-level suppression between them, which greatly reduces the combat effectiveness gap between low-level players and high-level players. Low-level players also have the opportunity to counterattack high-level players to grab fragments.
If the second article is just to seduce players to compete with each other, these three articles are just like "Hurry up and fight" written on their faces.
The remaining four, five, six.
Article 6 There is nothing to say. Only Fools can enter the unactivated Sky City. This is to ensure that the first city lord must be obtained by Fools to avoid falling into the hands of other people.
Articles 45 and 45 are all about the rules for opening the entrance to Sky City.
If you want to enter the Sky City, you don't just have to collect three map fragments. You also need to gather the owners of nine fragments in one place to open the entrance.
At the same time, there is also a sequence in the opening of cities. The previous opening must be completed and the city lord can be opened before the next one can be opened.
And the first city on the list is the City of Dawn, where Mu You already has two fragments!
In other words, only after the battle for the city master of the City of Dawn is over, can the battle for the next city of Dawn be started, and then the city of dawn, sunrise... the twelve cities will be postponed in sequence until all cities have a city master. This mission is over.
"It seemed like it became urgent all of a sudden..."
Mu You breathed out. He originally wanted to slowly search for information and fragments about Auroville City, but when the mission was announced, Auroville City was first in line.
Mu You took out two map fragments and looked at them.
At this moment, the two fragments are still wrapped in black mist, and there are no arrows showing, which means that all nine fragments of Auroville have not been found yet.
But this is only temporary. As the leader of all sky cities, the battle for Auroville City is imminent. Even if he wants to be slow, others will definitely collect the fragments of Auroville City as quickly as possible. Nine fragments are possible at any time. After finding them all, the scramble for the fragments may begin at any time.
Mu You saved the fragments back into the game, then exited the game and switched to the forum to take a look.
Sure enough, the forum was already in a commotion about the announcement just now.
"Collect all the map fragments at a high price. If you are interested, chat privately. The reward will definitely satisfy you!"
"Oh, I finally broke the tower. I was just planning to enjoy the game for a few days, but now I want to steal the city lord again!"
"Holy crap, the last blow to destroy the tower actually rewards such an important thing. If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have grabbed one back!"
"Save it for yourself. What does robbing the city lord have to do with ordinary players? That's the stage where big bosses compete. Ordinary people get involved and don't know how they died..."
"I don't have any fragments, so I just want to ask the big guys who have fragments if they need any leg hair? I'll spend all my money to support it, as long as you give me the position of deputy city lord when the time comes..."
"I have a fragment of the Twilight City. I got it by chance when I was exploring a secret realm a few days ago. I knew I couldn't compete with the top bosses, so I took action. If you want it, please chat privately. If you are the one."
After browsing, Mu You quickly saw a post that contained fragments, and hurriedly clicked on it to take a look.
"Is it true? The poster really has fragments? Isn't it a fishing post?"
"Can you post a picture? I just want to see what the map fragments look like?"
"I would like to ask you sincerely, in what secret place did the original poster find the fragment?"
…
This post was really popular, and the number of replies instantly surged to hundreds.
Mu You scrolled down. On the 100th floor below, the poster appeared and posted a blurry photo. The quality of the ancient picture was comparable to that of a mosaic, making people extremely doubtful of its authenticity.
However, others could not see this picture clearly, but Mu You recognized it at a glance. It was indeed a map fragment. However, the black fog on the surface made the photo unclear. It seemed that this was not a fishing post.
After going down dozens of floors, the poster appeared again and announced the source of his fragment: it was found in a secret realm near Twilight City!
As a result, this reply caused everyone to explode.
This twilight city is not a twilight city. The Twilight City is the hometown of the Fool, which has disappeared.
Twilight City is a seaside city on the border of the Ranel Empire. It is the second largest pass into the empire from the waterway. Mu You also passed there before driving the Ghost.
"You found the fragments of Twilight City in Twilight City? What a coincidence?"
"Holy crap, they're both called Dusk. Is there a connection between these two cities?"
"Could it be that Twilight City is hidden near Twilight City? So its map fragments are also distributed nearby?"
"Probably!"
"Wait a minute, in this case, there are many similar cities with similar names, such as Burning Sun City and Burning Sun City, Sunset City and Sunset City..."
"And the Undercity located underground, will it correspond to the City of Dark Night or the City of Eternal Night or something..."
"In other words, if you go around these cities, it is possible to find fragments corresponding to the ancient cities?"
"maybe……"
…
Debate on the issue immediately followed the post.
"Does Sky City correspond to existing cities in the Star Spirit Realm..."
Mu You touched his chin.
Don’t tell me, it’s really possible!
He wasn't sure about anything else, but the Undercity was the territory of the dark elves, and their leader, the Queen of Darkness, happened to have a fragment of the City of Eternal Night in her hand...
From this point of view, if you explore near cities with similar names, you do have a chance of finding corresponding map fragments!
But in this case, where does Dawn City correspond to?
Mu You recalled that among the cities in the Star Spirit Realm that he knew so far, there seemed to be no one that could be linked to the name Liming...
"It seems that I asked the right question last night..."
Mu You breathed out. Last night, he asked Jingmo's mother about information about Sky City. As long as he could enter the library she mentioned, he would have a chance to get information about Dawn City.
Once he finds the location of Dawn City, he can explore the map fragments nearby. As long as he finds another fragment, he can open the map...
This can't be rushed.
Mu You returned to the forum and looked at the international section.
In domestic forums, it is because the tower has been demolished that everyone can discuss Sky City's big melon with peace of mind. However, in international forums, the hot topic of discussion is still mainly tower demolition.
No wonder this new mission is called the 'Rescue Mission'. As soon as this mission was announced, the tower pushing progress of various countries, which had been somewhat stagnant, began to increase rapidly again!
With the attraction of "map fragments" as a reward, many expert players who have completed the mission are willing to go to other countries to help push towers. While fighting for rewards, they also try to fight for map fragments.
Inspired by the mission, players from various countries seem to have achieved a global alliance for the first time.
In this kind of global cooperation, the progress of tower demolition in various places is progressing rapidly. In just three hours from the release of the mission to now, two more towers have been demolished, leaving seven towers. The durability has been reduced to below 50%.
According to this progress, within today, it is estimated that except for a few arcane towers in Australia, Indonesia, North America, etc. that are under the care of the Wizards Association, all other towers will have a chance to be demolished.
And now those countries where legendary masters have appeared are also crazy about Aite's "Ghost Captain" and "Red Scythe Girl", asking the two legendary masters for help.
Especially North American players, one of the spokesmen of a major force, posted more than a dozen posts in a row, publicly calling for "Ghost Captain", hoping that he can go to North America to help push down the tower. The door is ready, and even stated clearly that as long as the tower is pushed down, it will be completed. , promise to give him the final blow.
Mu You turned to the backstage and took a look. Sure enough, he had received 999+ private messages, all of them inviting him to push the tower. There were IDs from all over the world.
After blocking non-friends, only private messages from Jiuyou were left in the mailbox.
The news about Jiuyou was similar. He asked politely if he had any intention to take action. As many as twenty foreign forces launched an emergency request for help from the Celestial Empire, hoping to arrange for two legendary bosses to take action, and the reward was arbitrary.
Looking at Jiuyou's private message, Mu You shook his head helplessly.
He actually wanted to take action and go to another arcane tower to collect the final blow and get the fragments. With the time pocket watch, he had a great chance to directly collect the fragments of Dawn City.
It's a pity that he can't show up at all.
One is that when he wants to go to other countries to help, he can only go through other people's doors, and this means that he has to expose his identity in front of others, which is something Mu You will never agree to.
Moreover, without the support of other mystics, even if Vivian's body is resurrected, it will not be able to reach a high level. If it cannot defeat the legendary elders of the Wizards Association, it will expose their details, which is not worth the loss.
Mu You directly replied to Jiuyou and declined all invitations.
After closing the forum, Mu You looked at the time. It was seven-thirty in the morning. There was a date in the game at eight o'clock...
Switching back to the game, Mu You had breakfast at the old lady’s house.
After eating a bowl of colorful rice porridge, his mobility was restored to full value. After saying goodbye to his grandma, Mu You controlled the character to return to the imperial capital.
[...You swam all the way from the reservoir to the shore. You were not in a hurry to show up. You hid in the distance, peeking out through the cover of the dam. 】
[You saw a long-haired girl wearing a magic academy uniform on the bank of the cobblestone river on the reservoir dam, pacing anxiously on the shore. 】
