[The girl in the distance has an outstanding appearance and a tall figure. Her waist-length black hair is tied into a pair of ponytails with two red hairbands. In addition to the standard uniform of the Magic Academy, short skirt and knee-high socks, Wearing a bright red coat, she looked dignified and elegant... The only thing that was somewhat incompatible with this dignity was the pair of plush slippers on her feet. 】
[Obviously, the girl came in a bit of a hurry and did not have time to change her boots. 】
[Unknown character (level 18), strength: 95, agility: 39, intelligence: 92, constitution: 32, health value: 8200, magic value: 10200, luck value: -2. 】
"Level 18..."
Mu You was slightly stunned when he saw the information fed back from the omniscient crystal.
The opponent's level is actually not surprising, but the attributes are a bit outrageous.
The standard attributes for level 18 should be 157 points, but the opponent's total attributes are as high as 258 points!
In other words, the opponent has more than a hundred points of additional attributes, which are obtained through foreign objects and equipment...
Moreover, as a magician, what kind of trouble are you going to make if your power is higher than your intelligence?
Mu You tried to observe the opponent's attire, but unfortunately all the equipment seemed to be hidden by the uniform, but he knew that there was definitely a lot of top-notch equipment nearby.
[After confirming that there is no one else around, you choose to walk out of the embankment and approach the girl. 】
[When the girl noticed someone approaching, she immediately raised her wand and pointed it at you. She asked with a vigilant face if you were the person who delivered the letter last night. 】
[You nodded and admitted, indicating that you had no ill intentions, and explained the situation of the familiar cat to the other party. 】
[After learning that you are actually a fool and that her cat has wandered into oblivion, the other party becomes wary again. 】
[After some hesitation, the other party did not directly believe what you said. Instead, she asked you to provide evidence to prove that her familiar is indeed in your hands. 】
"Evidence..."
Mu You was not surprised. He took out the photo crystal from the game, went back to the room and faced Coke, who was still sleeping on the bed, and recorded a scene from all directions and angles. Then he went to the gate and recorded a scene of busy traffic outside the door, proving that This is indeed a place of oblivion, so the image crystal is returned to the game.
[You hand the photo crystal to the other party. 】
[After checking it, the girl frowned and looked at you with more vigilance. 】
[The girl suddenly said that you are a liar, this is not her cat at all! 】
"Oh ho!"
Mu You's eyelids twitched, and the thing he was most worried about happened: Coke's owner really didn't recognize her cat!
Mu You could actually understand this. If he had to identify the fat house cat on the bed with the slender and muscular one at the beginning, he would never believe that they were the same cat.
"Cola!"
I shouted upstairs, but there was no response from Coke.
Muyou turned around and pressed the cat food machine. His coke ears twitched in his sleep. Within two seconds, he ran downstairs to prepare for the meal. However, when he ran to the automatic feeding machine, he found that the food bowl was empty. He couldn't help but wonder. He looked at Mu You: Where is my food?
Mu You threw the photo crystal to it: "Your master doesn't recognize you anymore, find a way to recognize her by yourself!"
"Meow?"
Cola looked in disbelief when he heard this, and hurriedly hugged the crystal and cried: "Master, it's me, Meow, I am... No, I am Sphinx, the little cutie who has been with you for seven years, how could you You don’t recognize me anymore, but I miss you every day..."
Cola cried and howled in front of the camera. Unfortunately, the photo crystal could only leave images and ordinary cat meows, and the voice of thoughts could not pass through. Cola hurriedly acted cutely in front of the camera, posing in the same coquettish poses that he often used to show off to his owner.
After recording for two minutes, Mu You put away the crystal and sent it back to the game.
[You hand the photo crystal back to the girl. 】
[The girl fell into a long silence after reading it...]
Mu You is now very worried that the other party will suddenly say something like, "I don't want the cat anymore, you can just vote."
Fortunately, no, this lady from another world is still responsible.
[After a moment, the girl sighed and asked if there was any way to bring the Sphinx over. 】
Of course there is a way, you can travel between the two worlds at any time through the door, but this trouble-free method has huge side effects. Once sent back, Coke basically has no ability to increase life span.
Mu You glanced at Coca-Cola. The omniscient crystal showed that it had more than fifty years to live, but it was hard to say how much of the fifty-odd years was its original lifespan. You must know that the lifespan of a cat itself is not long.
Muyou then typed and truthfully informed the other party of the situation.
What surprised him was that the other party actually had a way.
[The girl nodded and said there is no problem. Since the Sphinx was originally a creature from the Star Spirit Realm, as long as it is sent back, she has a family-inherited space secret method that can flip the plane characteristics of the creature back to its original place, thereby getting rid of it. The influence of 'door'...]
The girl came up with a description that seemed quite noble, but Mu You said he didn't understand it at all.
However, as the owner said that she had a solution, Mu You ignored it and made an appointment with the other party to bring the cat to her next time she came in.
[You have made an agreement with the girl about handing over the pet. The girl is also a well-known noble daughter in the star spirit world. Naturally, she will not let you work in vain. Ask you what you need in return, and she will try her best to help you achieve it. 】
Mu You didn't raise Coke for any reward, but he did have something to ask for help now.
After thinking for a while, Muyou entered two requirements into the game.
First, when you wait for him to come in in a few days, borrow the other person's fire spirit to use.
Second, help him get an admission certificate from Red Rose College.
Of course, he borrowed the fire spirit to refine some high-level magic potions that required fire spirits, such as the cleaning potion that the virgin asked him to refine before.
The admission certificate was for him to enter the Magic Academy to study magic openly, and to find a chance to see where the library Jingmo Niang told him was.
[The girl was a little surprised when she heard your request. The only one who wants to use the fire spirit is a potion master. She can't believe that you are also a potion master. 】
[After thinking for a moment, the girl agreed to your request. However, because the Magic Academy has passed the enrollment period, based on her relationship, she can only apply for the qualification of an off-campus auditor for you. You can enter the academy to attend classes, but you are not considered a formal student and cannot enjoy the treatment of a normal academy student. . 】
Mu You only has the qualification to be an auditor, so Mu You has no objection at all. It would be better to say that this is more suitable for him. No one is controlling him. He can freely choose which magic class to attend without having to go through the admission process from scratch.
[After the girl finished speaking, she hurriedly left the reservoir and waited for her good news. 】
It takes time to apply for admission. After the owner of Coke left, Mu You also controlled the characters to return to Siye Street and recovered the reconnaissance beetles released last night.
[The reconnaissance beetle is back in your hands and reports to you the valuable intelligence it eavesdropped on last night. 】
[At yesterday's palace banquet, the reconstruction of the ruins in the south of the city was put on the agenda...]
[It is rumored that the Lan El Empire royal family intends to auction the land in the southern area of the imperial capital...]
[The secrets of the Eli family have been exposed. An insider revealed that the patriarch of the Eli family has thirteen illegitimate children...]
[The special campaign to rectify the bad behavior of 'underage wizards' in Ivy League College has officially begun...]
…
What Beetle overheard were mostly gossip and tidbits. There were more than 20 pieces of gossip in total. Mu You patiently read them one by one, but he found one that really interested him.
[Two church members met secretly outside the back wall of the Broken Cup Bar on Siye Street in the early morning, and revealed a secret during the conversation: after the Wizards Association was expelled from the imperial capital, the 'Black Magic Association' was originally suppressed and hunted by wizards. 'Resurfaced and agreed to hold a gathering of dark wizards in the underground church near the abandoned cemetery in the south of the city starting at eight o'clock in the morning. At that time, senior dark wizards would teach members black magic. 】
"Dark Arts Club?"
Mu You was a little surprised. Before the Imperial Capital, there was the headquarters of the Wizards Association. It was amazing that there was a secret organization studying black magic lurking under the nose of the Wizards Association.
According to the text, this organization was suppressed by the Wizards Association before, but now that the Wizards Association has been driven away, this long-suppressed organization can finally show its face and become active, and it actually has entangled its personnel to teach black magic...
Mu You became a little interested.
As the descendant of the Disaster Witch, the leader of the dark wizards, he must go to this gathering for reasons and reasons.
[...You wore an invisibility cloak and came all the way to the south of the imperial capital. 】
[After a battle the day before yesterday, this once prosperous area has become devastated, with broken walls and fire-burned building debris everywhere. 】
[You search along the abandoned streets and soon arrive near the cemetery. 】
[You found a collapsed church building on the south side of the cemetery. In front of the dilapidated church door, two missionaries dressed in church uniforms were guarding the door, watching the surrounding intersections with vigilance. Is it close? 】
"no."
[You choose to be invisible and observe from a distance. 】
[After a moment, you saw a believer wearing church clothes sneaking up to the door of the abandoned church. He opened his sleeves and showed the black marks on his arms to the two people at the door. They let him go. 】
Mu You looked at the time. It was now 8:25, and the gathering inside should have started.
But don't be anxious. Not everyone can enter this gathering. You need a church member to enter, and you also need an internal mark. Even if you force your way in, he won't get anything if they just break up and run away.
After thinking about it, Mu You controlled the character to leave the place, walked around the abandoned church, and found something else.
[You have arrived at the back door of the abandoned church. 】
[You see two church members dressed as low-level believers carrying another believer out of the back door. This believer being carried is covered in a layer of black energy. His whole body is like a gossamer, and his body is also affected by the black energy. All kinds of weird tumors kept growing out from underneath. Apparently, he has been infected by black magic and is suffering from uncontrollable pain. 】
[The two cultists threw the out-of-control cultist into a pit behind the door. 】
[You get closer and find that there are already a large number of skeletal remains corroded and dissolved by black magic in the pit. 】
[As for the cultist who was just thrown in, the loss of control on his body continues, and becomes faster and faster, with large monster tumors emerging from his body. It won't be long before he will follow in the footsteps of those who lost control before him, his body will be completely corroded by black magic, and he will completely disappear into the star spirit world. 】
[The two corpse dumpers saw the body of the believer beginning to decay. They scanned the surroundings, made sure there was no one around, and then turned back to the church. 】
Gathering at the front door and dumping the body at the back door?
Mu You looked at these game texts and immediately remembered the forest spirits he had encountered in the black forest before.
At that time, the forest spirit told them that the person who disturbed the black forest and caused the forest spirit to lose control was a church member holding a white cross.
The incident happened right in front of the church... From this point of view, this 'Black Magic Association' might have been caused by the church personnel who destroyed the Black Forest.
Without any time to think about it, after the two corpse dumpers left, Mu You decisively opened the panel and clicked on the 'Telescopic Chain Claw'.
[You threw the telescopic chain claw, hooked the out-of-control person in the pit, and quickly hooked it back to you. Then you dragged the body and hid it behind a ruin. 】
[At this time, the out-of-control person was completely dead, the black magic power in his body gradually overflowed, and the body began to disappear gradually under the erosion of black magic power. 】
[If you use the Heart of the Forest, you may still have time to stop this erosion. Use Heart of the Forest to remove contamination? 】
"yes."
Absorbing black magic will increase the pollution level of the Heart of the Forest, but it doesn't matter just such a corpse. The degree of aggravation is negligible compared to the capacity of the Heart of the Forest.
[You take out the Heart of the Forest. The core of the forest, which had become pitch black inside, immediately began to work. Black energy was sucked out from the inside of the corpse and poured into the core...]
[The symptoms of loss of control on the surface of the corpse quickly disappeared, and it quickly returned to its normal form. 】
[The pollution level of the Heart of the Forest has increased by 0.0001% and is now: 99.8132%. 】
Mu You's eyes twitched when he saw it. Absorbing one person's pollution only increased the pollution level by one millionth.
Muyou's mission is to reduce the pollution in the heart of the forest by more than 10% within a year...
He was suddenly a little worried about whether this task could be completed within a year.
Mu You shook his head, now was not the time to think about this.
As soon as the contamination was cleared, a new prompt popped up in the game.
[You groped around on the corpse and found the 'Holy Light Cultist' skin. Do you want to extract it immediately? 】
[Holy Light Cultists: The lowest level personnel of the Holy Light Church. They have extremely devout faith in the church. They are responsible for handling the chores assigned by the church and accumulating meager contributions in anticipation of the elusive road to promotion. When releasing Holy Light magic, the power is increased by 30%, and the speed of learning Holy Light magic is accelerated by 40%. 】
It's another base skin with no longevity mission, but it has a fairly good talent that has a high bonus to Holy Light magic.
In order to enter the church, this skin must be fused, but the upper limit of skins is only six, and Mu You is now full.
Vampire, Watchman, Herb Gatherer, and Fortune Teller, these four skins with life-span tasks cannot be touched, and if you have a chance to enter the academy soon, the Mysterious Man skin can also come in handy.
So after thinking about it for a while, Mu You decided to feed the most useless fisherman skin to the vampire.
[You merged the fisherman skin into the vampire count skin. 】
[The fusion is successful, the fisherman skin disappears completely, and your vampire skin has a new talent 'Water Mastery': you move 30% faster underwater than ordinary people. 】
[Curse randomly... The vampire skin has acquired the curse 'Snake Fear': You have an inexplicable fear of snake creatures. When encountering a snake monster, all attributes will be reduced by 1 point. 】
Mu You raised his eyebrows. Since the talent of the fisherman is not very strong, the random curse effect after fusion will not be that strong. All attributes will be lowered a bit, and it will only target snake monsters. After the attributes are higher, , this decrease is almost negligible.
However, this is still a very uncomfortable curse for Mu You, because his attributes need to be accurately stuck at the ratio of 123. All attributes are reduced by one, which will definitely destroy the balance of his attributes.
"Backtracking."
Mu You pressed his pocket watch and rolled the curse again.
Sure enough, the next curses were similar to the first one, and their effects were very weak. After Mu You randomized it more than a dozen times, he finally found one that had no negative effect on the battle.
[You have acquired the curse 'Big Eater': you eat twice as much as ordinary people, and you starve twice as fast as others. It is best to always have rations on you to avoid starving to death. 】
The food intake is doubled compared to others. This curse is quite painful for the bottom residents of the Star Spirit Realm, but it is insignificant for the skin. It only increases the food cost, as long as it does not affect the battle.
[You have obtained the Holy Light Cultist skin. 】
After the fusion was completed, Mu You immediately picked up the skin of the cultist, put it on on the spot, and then controlled the character to go to the front door.
[Wearing the attire of a believer and wearing a thousand faces, you returned to the main entrance of the abandoned church and showed the marks on your arms to the two missionaries guarding the door. 】
[The two missionaries didn't think much, they recognized your membership in the 'Black Magic Association', asked you to come early next time, and then let you enter the church. 】
[Entering the church, you see a priest holding a black cross behind the church's podium, preaching black magic. The rows of benches on the left and right below are already filled with Holy Light believers dressed like you, and everyone is listening attentively. 】
[In addition, there are several priests and choir members standing on both sides of the church, vigilantly observing every move of the audience. 】
[You notice that a believer listening to the lecture on the left suddenly trembles all over, a faint black gas begins to emit from his body, and familiar octopus suckers begin to grow on his body. It is obvious that this person has just lost control. 】
[The priest and choir singer nearby rushed forward immediately, suppressed the out-of-control person, and released a refreshing spell on him. Along with the choir singer's singing, the out-of-control person was forced to calm down and fell asleep in pain. go. 】
[Two cultists appeared immediately and took the out-of-control person away from the scene. The whole process did not cause any commotion. The other believers seemed not to have seen this scene and were all immersed in the study of black magic. 】
"It's all formed into an assembly line..."
Mu You complained secretly.
Obviously, these people do not really want to teach black magic, but just use these low-level believers as consumables to conduct some kind of research.
As for what he was studying specifically, Mu You didn't bother to worry about it. He was here to collect wool.
Others risk losing control when learning black magic, but he does not.
If others dare to teach, he will dare to learn.
[You sat down in the empty seat in the last row and began to understand black magic. 】
[The black magic taught by the priest today is: the earth-based low-level black magic 'Giant's Fist'. Because you have a secret crystal, your learning speed of black magic is increased by 100%. 】
[Studying in progress, expected to be completed in 14 hours...]
