[...You have arrived on the thirteenth floor of the library. 】
[As you wander around the outer corridor again, everything around you becomes twisted and folded, as if it were an illusion or reality. You seem to be walking on a muddy yellow swamp road, and your ears are filled with the howls of countless resentful souls, all of which are... Persuading and threatening you to stop...]
[The sound of high-heeled footsteps suddenly sounded close at hand, followed by an angry scolding. 】
[You were discovered by Mrs. McKenna! 】
[But before she gets close to you, the ghost monster following her rushes towards you with an ax in hand...]
"Backtrack!"
Mu You hurriedly pressed his pocket watch.
[Time goes by and you go back to five seconds ago. 】
[Learning that an administrator was approaching from the front, you hurriedly stood still and quickly entered a deep stealth state. 】
[The administrator holds the lantern, passes you again, and continues to patrol the floors below...]
This administrator aunt seemed determined to patrol all night, wandering up and down non-stop, and her dedication left Mu You speechless.
More importantly, as he walked upstairs, his game character seemed to be showing signs of going crazy, his sanity dropped wildly, his mental state was worrying, and the reminders about the footsteps became increasingly vague.
At least he had been given time to react before, but this time he didn't get any step prompts until he bumped into someone.
Fortunately, there is a pocket watch, which provides Mu You with a fairly high error tolerance rate.
Next, Mu You moved to the fifteenth floor step by step under the interference of the two creatures.
[...You completed the fifth lap in the corridor on the fifteenth floor, and then climbed the stairs to the sixteenth floor. 】
[Stepping up the stairs, just when you think you have reached the sixteenth floor, you find that the floor sign in front of you is not "16", but "15". 】
[Stepping into this hidden floor, you find yourself entering a brand new library. 】
[In a space of several hundred square meters, like an ordinary library, there are a large number of bookshelves. Each bookshelf is filled with books covered in dust. In each book, there are books that can never be completely sealed. Destroyed history and legends. 】
[This is a mysterious mezzanine hidden in the Red Rose Library, a campus legend called the "Silent Library". Anyone who dares to enter here is a spy trying to pry into the dusty history. Remember to remember the rules here and don't make any noise, otherwise it will bring unimaginable consequences! 】
[The moment you step into the library, you immediately hear the sound of a large number of wild beasts breathing on the roof between the two walls. Every growl and exhale seems to ring clearly in your ears. It is silence. Once the sound of beasts disturbs them, they will rush through the wall and rush to you within ten seconds...]
"Finally came in..."
Seeing the text prompting him to successfully enter the Silent Library, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, and then he didn't have time to relax and immediately clicked the "Search Spell" in the magic column of the panel.
A text box popped up, and Mu You entered "City of Auroville" into it.
[You wave your wand and release the search spell, searching the library for anything related to "City of Auroville". 】
[Magic power surges, and countless symbols and words from the astral world emerge from the surrounding books, circling rapidly in front of you like a kaleidoscope. But in order to avoid being noticed by the creatures on the roof, you can only suppress the output of magic power as much as possible, and the search speed slows down a lot. 】
[Searching in progress, expected to end in 2 minutes and 34 seconds...]
"Does it take so long?"
Mu You was stunned. The time is now 00:46 on Friday, and the search only takes two and a half minutes. It is more than enough to finish it before 1 o'clock.
However, the problem is that there are still two patrols wandering around outside, who knows when they will come up again.
Sure enough, similar text popped up in the game at this time.
[Because there is too much information stored in the library, the search spell takes longer to take effect than you think. If Mrs. McKenna
If you don't complete the search before reaching the top floor next time, the magic power emanating from the search spell will definitely attract the attention of the Silent Beast following behind her. 】
[At that time, you will be blocked in the library by the angry silent beasts, torn into pieces by them, and become a ghost forever. 】
[It’s not too late to give up the search and leave now. Should you give up the action immediately? 】
"no!"
After a hard night of running around, it’s finally come to an end, and I definitely want to see the results before talking about it.
Moreover, Mu You has teleportation magic. Even if he is really blocked in the library by the Silent Beast, he can put down the dark teleportation array on the spot at any time and escape.
Next comes the excruciating waiting time.
The first two minutes were passed without any danger.
However, when the countdown entered the last thirty seconds, the moth still appeared.
[Outside the door, footsteps sounded again. 】
[Mrs. McKenna once again came to the stairwell on a nearby floor, and this time, the Silent Beast behind her finally felt the strange atmosphere upstairs, and immediately let out a low roar, signaling to other companions on the top of the building. , asking them to go check it out. 】
[With this sound, you feel that the silent beasts on the roof, which were originally peaceful, have begun to riot, and the roars of the beasts come one after another. 】
[You feel the breath on the top of the building quickly approaching your direction. Obviously, you have been discovered and must leave immediately! 】
Still discovered.
But now that it has been discovered, there is nothing to worry about.
Mu You directly chose "Full Casting".
[You still refused to give up, activating all the magic power in your body and casting the search spell with all your strength. The search speed was greatly increased...]
This speed increase was indeed effective. Mu You watched the countdown of the last twenty seconds decrease at an extremely fast speed until it returned to zero.
At the same time, a very long text popped up.
[The search was successful, you found an article related to Auroville:...]
The text further down is actually all Star Spirit language symbols. This is a direct rubbing of the original text in the book for him.
Mu You didn't have time to take a closer look, so he clicked "Dark Teleport" on the panel as quickly as possible.
[You put down the dark teleportation array on the spot, and then jumped into the array before countless silent beasts around you rushed towards you. 】
[After a period of dizziness, you wake up in the captain's cabin of the Ghost. 】
Fortunately, the transmission was completed successfully.
Mu You first clicked on the teleportation array in the captain's room to try it.
In the teleportation location that pops up below, there is indeed no option for "Silent Library" at all. The teleportation array there has obviously been dismantled by the Silent Beasts.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You now had time to look at the page-and-a-half-long text in Star Spirit Language.
After finding paper and pen, and briefly translating the content, Mu You discovered that it turned out to be a diary.
The owner of the diary seems to be a fisherman who lived more than a thousand years ago. One day when he went fishing, he was captured by the Octopus King Zubac and taken to the evil spirit sea where pirates were infested to work as a slave.
This diary records what happened while he was working as a slave in the Sea of Evil Spirits.
One day, he suddenly saw a huge floating island falling from the sky and falling somewhere in the evil spirit sea. According to the description in the original text, "The tsunami caused by the giant island entering the sea easily destroyed countless ships of the Octopus King and pirates around it." And caused drastic changes in the surrounding terrain, and he was washed away by the tsunami, taking the opportunity to escape from the control of the Octopus King..."
The fisherman survived by chance, and after asking around, he found out that the floating island that crashed that day was actually the "City of Dawn of the Sky Clan"...
"The City of Auroville actually fell into the sea?"
After reading the translated content, Mu You tapped his fingers on the desk, lost in thought.
There are actually only three keywords mentioned in this diary: Sky Clan, Octopus King Zubac, and the Sea of Evil Spirits.
Sky Clan, this is supposed to be
This refers to the clan of fools.
As for the other two keywords, Muyou searched the forum.
There are relatively few posts mentioning "Evil Spirit Sea", but there are many mentioning "Octopus King".
After reading a few articles, Mu You roughly understood the relationship between these two terms.
Octopus King Zubac is not another name for a character, but a real giant octopus sea monster. It is said that it is more than 150 meters in size, has wisdom that is no less than that of humans, and has been entrenched in the sea with evil spirits for a long time.
The Evil Spirit Sea is a vast sea area between the Suez Ocean and the Infinite Sea in the south of the Star Spirit Realm. There are more than 300 islands of various sizes distributed in it. Because it is far away from the surrounding empires, it is also the only way to connect several surrounding continents. This land contains many important shipping routes, making it a paradise for pirates and a nightmare for merchants at sea.
The Octopus King seems to be under some kind of curse, unable to leave the scope of the evil spirit sea for the rest of his life, and can only wander in the sea all year round.
In order to maintain order in the sea, King Octopus occupied Nax Island in the center of the Evil Sea as a gathering place for pirates, and transformed an ancient palace connected under Nax Island into an undersea prison. Anyone who disobeyed it Pirates who command or act recklessly in the Evil Spirit Sea will be caught by it and thrown into an undersea prison to endure the punishment it sets.
"Knuckles Island, underwater prison..."
Among the information searched on the forum, Mu You immediately noticed this name.
When I met the beaver in the underground river before, I seemed to have seen a blueprint called "Nax Undersea Prison Distribution Map" among the charts it sold.
Thinking of this, Mu You logged into the game again and found the "Beaver Whistle" that the beaver had left for him among the items.
[You blew the beaver whistle. 】
Mu You thought that after blowing the whistle, it would take at least half a day for the beaver to come over.
Unexpectedly, he went out to complete an update task, and when he came back, a prompt popped up in the game.
[A small boat suddenly appears on the river in front of the Ghost, and is speeding towards you. Standing on the bow of the boat is the beaver who interacted with you last time. 】
[The boat quickly docked next to the Ghost, and Beaver, wearing goggles, asked you to board the boat. agree or not? 】
[You have allowed Beaver’s request to board the ship. 】
[The beaver stepped onto the deck of the ghost ship with his suitcase and asked politely what do you need? and shows you the contents of its box. 】
[Guaro Sea Area Map, Cook Islands Sea Area Map, Nax Undersea Prison Distribution Map, Basi Sea Area Map...]
Mu You looked at it and saw that there were two new sea maps in the box. The others were exactly the same as the last time he saw them, including the blueprint of the Knuckles Undersea Prison.
After thinking about it, Mu You clicked on the text of Beaver, and entered "Evil Spirit Sea" in the interactive options that popped up.
[Try asking the other party if there is a map of the "Evil Spirit Sea"? 】
[The beaver immediately nodded and asked you to wait for a moment, then left the deck, jumped back into his boat, and dug out a new scroll in the backpack at the stern. 】
[Beaver returns to the Ghost and tells you that what he is holding is the "Evil Sea Map", which sells a mid-level spell scroll. Do you want to buy? 】
"There really is..."
After a little hesitation, Mu You simply bought these two related charts.
The spell scrolls he has at hand now include a high-level "Search Spell" and the "Summon Tree Man" he just got from the meeting yesterday. It is an intermediate scroll. Buying these two charts is just enough.
After the purchase is completed, Muyou clicks on the two charts from the game.
Both charts were sealed in waterproof glass bottles, and Mu You took them out and looked at them one by one.
The map of the Knuckles Undersea Prison has content on both front and back pages. The front is a structural diagram of the undersea prison, with all the passages, prison distribution, guard distribution, etc. drawn out in great detail.
On the reverse side of the map, it is
The topographic distribution map of Knuckles Island. The land outlines on the map look like a turtle when connected, so this island is also called "Turtle Island".
Turtle Island is the territory of the Octopus King, and it is also the commercial center and distribution center of the evil pirates. Anyone who comes here must abide by the Octopus King's rules. Fighting and robbery are strictly prohibited on the island, so this place has become a place occupied by pirates. It is a rare safe area in the evil spirit sea.
This one chart is equivalent to buying two, which is quite conscientious.
Then Mu You looked at another one.
The Evil Spirit Sea Area Map is not as detailed as the previous one. After all, it is a very large-scale chart that covers the entire sea area. It can only be said to depict the relative positions of various islands in the sea area, and then clearly mark the important routes. , as for the specific terrain of each island, only a rough outline was drawn.
Mu You searched for it and found that Knuckles Island was located southwest of the center of the Evil Spirit Sea. It was only an inconspicuous dot on the entire sea chart. There are hundreds of islands similar to the size of Knuckles Island surrounding it.
According to the description in that diary, the fisherman saw the sky island crashing on the Octopus King's territory, and it caused a huge change in the terrain of the crash point. This should mean that the sky city fell and formed an island at the crash point. Such land.
Assuming that the Octopus King's territory here refers to Turtle Island, then each of these islands near Turtle Island may be the place where Dawn City fell.
Mu You looked at the sea map again and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
This chart is still too big. There are nearly a hundred islands scattered around Turtle Island. It is necessary to identify them one by one and when to get them.
But fortunately, I finally have a destination.
Mu You re-entered the game and gave the ghost ship a new goal to head to the evil sea.
[Heading to the Evil Spirit Sea, driving with a favorable wind throughout the journey, it is expected to arrive in 7 days and 8 hours...]
For a nearly week-long voyage, it was acceptable.
Mu You nodded, took out the map fragment and looked at it.
There are no marks on the two fragments yet, which means that all nine fragments of Dawn City have not yet appeared.
"No matter, let's walk over there first."
Mu You estimated that the Emperor's people were also approaching the Evil Spirit Sea. If they encountered one on the road, they could try to grab a fragment.
With the Ghost in hand, he still has some advantages in the battle at sea.
After arranging the course of the Ghost, Mu You saved the Elf Horn into the game, and then put his phone into a backpack.
The abyssal flying dragon that was brought back from the meeting yesterday was being thrown into the corner of this space.
The flying dragon has woken up, but it is still seriously injured. In addition, the shrinking spell is still in effect. It is dying and paralyzed on the ground, unable to move.
In order to prevent it from making a fuss when it wakes up, Mu You specially fed it a "Weakness Potion" yesterday. This is a second-level magic potion. Its effect is to make the creature in a weak state and greatly hinder the recovery speed of injuries.
When the Abyss Flying Dragon noticed someone approaching, it immediately became vigilant and wanted to take off. Unfortunately, it was so weak that it was difficult to even move, let alone flap its wings.
If this flying dragon can be contracted, it would be best to directly contract it as a familiar.
It's a pity that dragon monsters cannot be contracted in normal ways, not to mention that this one is already an adult and is a creature from the abyss. It is so wild that it can only be exchanged for phoenix eggs.
However, this flying dragon is now on the earth, and creatures cannot currently access across borders. I wonder if this can be considered as completing the mission.
Mu You operated the Elf Horn in the game.
[The princess of the Sunlight Elves, Salina Sunshine, appears in front of you. 】
[You explain to the other party that you have captured the Abyss Dragon alive, but because it is in the Forgotten Land, you cannot send it to the Star Spirit World for the time being. 】
[Salina casts some kind of lie detection spell on you, and after confirming that what you said is true, she will give you a week's grace. 】
[Before next Friday, take the captured Abyss Dragon to the Sunlight Elf
In the royal capital "Phoenix City", you can redeem the original rewards by meeting Selina. 】
Sure enough, he couldn't collect creatures across borders, but at least he was given an extension of one week. It was as simple as going to Phoenix City, just bring him to the other party when he entered the door in a few days.
All that's left is to ensure that the dragon doesn't die within a week.
Mu You fed another bottle of sleeping potion to the Abyss Flying Dragon, then left his backpack and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Mu You was awakened by a phone ringing.
He took the phone and saw that it was Lin Xue's number.
"Are you awake? Go to the international version of the forum and have a look." Lin Xue's voice came after the call was put through.
"Oh? What?"
"It's hard to tell on the phone. You'll know just by looking at it."
After hanging up the phone, Muyou immediately opened the forum, switched to the international section and glanced at it.
Then he immediately understood what Lin Xue meant.
At this time, on the homepage of the international section, there was a hot post that was constantly being manually pinned to the top.
The name of the post is very explosive, and the person who posted it is also very conspicuous: the divine right of kings - the emperor.
Mu You immediately clicked on the post and took a look.
There are a total of three things mentioned in the post.
The first thing is to announce that their Divine Right of Kings organization has collected two fragments of Dawn City and is looking for collaborators.
The second thing is to gather all those who own the fragments of Auroville to visit a certain European city to discuss the opening of Auroville. The Divine Right of Kings, as landowners, guarantees by reputation that the personal safety of all attendees will be ensured.
The third thing is that I hope people who own "Fragment Five" can take the initiative to contact them.
After reading the post, the first thing Muyou did was log into the game and check the status of the two map fragments.
Sure enough, the fragments had changed.
[You see a vague arrow pattern appearing on the back of the two fragments of Dawn City, each pointing to the other's position. 】
Mu You clearly remembered that before falling asleep in the early morning, there were no arrow marks on the fragments, but there were arrow marks this morning. It seemed that all the fragments of Dawn City had been found in the past few hours.
Mu You went to check the status of all Arcane Tower server missions again.
[Full server mission: Destroy the Arcane Tower (timed out). 】
[A total of arcane towers destroyed during the mission: 30/36. 】
[The undestroyed Arcane Tower has been transformed into the Eternal Arcane Tower. 】
[Rewards for undefeated Arcane Tower map fragments have been distributed through other forms. 】
The Arcane Tower mission just ended three hours ago. In the end, six towers were not pushed down, and the map fragment rewards for these six towers were distributed in some way.
Probably these six just happened to contain the fragments of Auroville City. This shot completely gathered the fragments of Auroville City.
Looking back, Mu You looked at Tianzi's post again.
Aquarius had just told him yesterday that the emperor had collected three fragments, but the information they announced here was only two.
Comparing the two, Mu You is certainly more willing to believe in Aquarius's information. This is obviously a smoke bomb released by the Divine Right of Kings organization.
As for visiting Europe, that is impossible, only fools go there!
This group of people has prepared the map and is waiting for the fragments to gather together. Once the entrance is opened, they can take action to rob the city.
However, just because he doesn't go doesn't mean that others won't go.
In order to open the entrance to Dawn City, the nine fragments must converge sooner or later. There is a high chance that other fragment owners who do not know the truth will be deceived.
