"We have to find a way to stop..."
After Mu You pondered for a moment, he entered the lock cylinder space and came to the lake under the cliff. He opened a can of bait and placed it by the lake.
After a while, the mermaid emerged from the lake, glanced at Mu You suspiciously, swam to the shore, took the can, and started eating on her own.
"The day after tomorrow, come with me back to the Star Spirit Realm..." Mu Youyou said.
When the mermaid heard this, his eating movements suddenly stopped, and he hurriedly spit out the bait he had just stuffed into his mouth. Then he put the can back to the shore and dived back into the water.
"Why are you running? I'm not chasing you away." Mu Youhan said.
A few seconds later, half a mermaid's head reappeared on the water. The mermaid revealed a pair of eyes in the middle of the lake, staring at Mu You warily, her nose hidden under the water and bubbling.
"That's it. My ship is going to the Evil Spirit Sea next week. You should have heard of it. It's a territory called Octopus King Zubac. I need you to act with me and escort my ship for a few days. Queen of Heaven, if you want to come back, you can come back with me." Mu Youyou said.
After hearing this, the mermaid frowned and hesitated for a while, then suddenly stretched out her right hand and spread her palm.
But then he stretched out his other hand and spread out all ten fingers.
"Ten cans?" Mu You asked.
"Um!"
The mermaid nodded fiercely with a firm expression. She would never help unless this condition was met.
"I'll give you fifty cans!"
Mu You said "boldly": "And if I can achieve my goal in the end, I will give you fifty more cans!"
The mermaid's pupils shrank and she looked at Mu You in shock, unable to believe this number.
It took a few seconds for her to react, and she nodded hurriedly a few times with a tense expression, then swung her fish tail and plunged into the water, splashing water on Mu You's face on the shore.
"It's so easy to be satisfied..."
Mu You wiped the lake water on his face and thought to himself.
The mermaid's swimming skills will not cause splashing...unless she is particularly happy.
After convincing the mermaid, Mu You figured out the next plan.
After careful consideration, he logged into the forum again, switched to the "Ghost Captain" account, and also posted a post in the international forum section.
"The fifth fragment of Dawn City is in my hand, and there is a picture to prove it. Picture.jpg."
"We are now calling everyone who owns the fragments of the City of Auroville to go to the Sea of Evil Spirits and gather at Knuckles Island (Turtle Island) in the Sea of Evil Spirits at eight o'clock in the evening on August 26 to open the entrance to City of Dawn and the position of City Lord. Everyone competes based on their strength."
The message in the post was very short. Apart from posting a photo of the fragmented map, there were only a few sentences.
However, such a simple post immediately caused an uproar in the forum.
"!!!"
"Holy crap, the Ghost Captain appears!"
"Wow, did the boss actually get the fragments of Dawn City?"
"Turtle Island... isn't that the Octopus King's territory? Why did you choose that particular place to meet?"
"You asked upstairs, do you have the Dawn Shard?"
"Of course I didn't, I was just curious..."
"Excuse me, sir, do you still need leg hair? We have extremely high-quality leg hair here, just waiting for a thigh!"
"@鬼Captain I don’t know if the master has any intention of joining the guild. Our Blood Crow Villa sincerely invites the master to join..."
"Wow, wow, wow, are you at odds with the emperor's summons?"
…
The number of comments on the post increased rapidly.
The legendary boss who retired after making a stunning appearance last week has now appeared again, for something as important as Auroville.
Moreover, the emperor had just issued the summons an hour ago, asking everyone to gather in Europe.
The great god here turned around and posted another post. The content was also to summon fragment holders to gather, but the gathering location was changed to the star spirit world.
On a certain island, it is obvious that there is going to be a confrontation!
Netizens suddenly became excited.
On the one hand, there are currently only two legendary masters among the players, and on the other hand, there is the "Divine Right of Kings", one of the top ten powerful forces in the world. The collision between the two is undoubtedly equivalent to Mars hitting the Earth.
Because both posts were in the international section, the players were instantly divided into three groups. One group supported the emperor, the other supported the ghost captain, and some people who didn't help each other and just waited to watch the excitement.
Dawn City is very special because it is the first main city of the Fool. Only if it is opened first, can other cities be opened one after another. The battle for Dawn City will provide precious reference for subsequent cities.
Therefore, the search process of Dawn City is destined to receive different attention than other cities.
Those who support the Emperor are basically players from Europe and the United States. The reason is that the Emperor has already collected two fragments, and the "Divine Right of Kings" has a better reputation in Europe. They have disclosed their identities and promised to ensure that all fragment owners will be protected. With people around the world watching over their personal safety, they certainly wouldn’t dare to slander their reputation. Besides, gathering in a city on Earth is always safer than gathering in another world.
Those who support Ghost Captain are basically domestic and Russian players, and their reason is simpler: Ghost Captain is currently the strongest among humans!
In addition, he was also the first to destroy the tower. It was the Ghost Captain's power that severely damaged the Wizards Association, and he was able to obtain sufficient conditions and opportunities for the destruction of other arcane towers.
It can be said that Captain Ghost accounted for at least 30% of the entire Arcane Tower server mission, far ahead of other people’s contributions. It makes sense for him to decide the gathering place for City of Dawn, both emotionally and logically. Passed.
The two sides got into a big fight over this in two posts. One side discussed the history of the establishment of the divine right of kings and the emperor’s outstanding deeds of building two arcane towers in succession to argue that the emperor has extraordinary leadership and is more suitable for this song. The lord of a city.
The other side sneered at this and even conquered two cities in a row? It was promoted as if the two cities were the result of the emperor alone, completely obliterating the efforts of many other players! This shows that the Emperor and the Divine Right of Kings are hypocrites. The so-called gathering in Europe is nothing more than an ambition to gain something for nothing and swallow up the interests of other fragment owners.
Among them, a person whose ID is "July's Tail" danced the most happily.
This "Tail of July" claimed to be an insider. In a post posted by the Emperor, he publicly revealed that the Divine Right of Kings has actually collected three fragments and learned the location of the entrance to Dawn City. The so-called summons order was just for deception. The other fragment owners gather together, and then he can easily enter the city and steal the position of city lord without anyone noticing!
As soon as this statement came out, it immediately caused considerable controversy.
Countless European and American players have come forward to ask "Tail of July", what is the source of this information? Ask him to provide evidence, otherwise he will spread rumors and slander.
Of course, there is no evidence, but "Tail of July" insists that this is a fact, and the words have the same meaning: believe it or not!
Naturally, he was criticized verbally and verbally by European and American players for such a reckless behavior. However, July's tail was no ordinary person either. He started to battle with people in the post with super fast hand speed.
The quality of this pair of comments may not be very high, but the advantage lies in the quantity. They bring the essence of nonsense literature to the extreme, and others will reply ten times to one comment.
In this way, at the end of July, he still managed to win the battle of words in an away game at an international forum. This attitude shocked the domestic players who were ready to support him. What a talent!
Although the emperor himself immediately came forward in the post and expressed his innocence about this matter, emphasizing that he only had two fragments, and summoning the owners of the fragments was simply to summon the Sky City as soon as possible and provide relief to those areas where the tower failed. We provide a place for players to stay, and we have absolutely no intention of deceiving others!
However, no matter how nice he said it, once some doubts were planted, it was impossible to eradicate them.
Whether true or not, at least all shard owners will consider this possibility.
Looking at it again, it's actually Captain Ghost.
Bian's rules were fairer: they met in the spirit world, and they chose a special safe area like Turtle Island.
Anyone who knows a little bit about the sea area knows that that place is the territory of the Octopus King and does not belong to any player's home field, which greatly reduces the chance of being deceived and murdered by others.
The attitude of the ghost captain is also very clear. After the fragments are gathered together, each of them will fight for the position of city lord based on their strength. No matter what method is used, if you can't grab it, it only means that your skills are inferior to others. At least all these conditions are clearly stated. It's better to go up than to be stabbed in the dark and have to give someone money.
And it was under this consideration that the pros and cons, who were originally evenly matched in the debate, gradually began to shift towards the ghost captain.
At this time, in a certain European city, there was a magnificent hall.
There were only three people sitting in the huge conference hall, communicating in low voices in English.
These three people are the president Sohen (the proud son of heaven, automatically translated by the forum as the emperor) who has the divine right of kings, and the two vice-presidents Den (devil) and Sle (smile). If any one of them is taken out, it will be in Europe. A well-known expert in the game world.
"This ghost captain specifically pointed out that he would gather at Knuckles Island... Could it be that he already knows that the entrance to Dawn City is in the Evil Spirit Sea?" Looking at the information on his phone with a smile, he looked at the two of them suspiciously.
"Impossible!" The demon immediately shook his head and said categorically: "Both one and nine are in our hands. These are the only two fragments that can show the location of the entrance. It is impossible for others to know!"
"Then why did the other party specifically choose Turtle Island?" He smiled and spread his hands.
"You have to know that the opponent has a ghost ship, so fighting at sea will naturally be more advantageous. As for a place within the sea area that can be used to meet strangers, the Turtle Island under the jurisdiction of the Octopus King is definitely the most suitable. One of the places, if I had to choose, I would probably choose there!" said the devil.
"So you mean that the other party's designation of Turtle Island was just a coincidence?" asked with a smile.
"This..." The devil was actually not sure.
The two of them finally looked at the blond young man sitting at the head of the table.
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, the result is the same. Just assume that the other party already knows this information." Tianzi said.
"Then what should we do now? Should we give up Dawn City and change other targets?" The demon frowned and looked at the post displayed on his phone. The number of supporters of the other party's post is already threatening to overwhelm them.
However, the opinions of pure netizens, even if they become one-sided, are meaningless. The final choice still depends on what several fragment owners think.
"impossible!"
The emperor immediately shook his head and said firmly: "We have prepared and sacrificed too much for Dawn City. Besides, other sky cities have also been claimed by the world's top forces by default. The competition pressure in other cities is not as high as that of Dawn City. weak."
"But... what we have to face is the ghost captain..." he said with a worried smile on his face.
Captain Ghost is a legendary master, and this has been certified as true news.
It would be easy to say if there was only one legendary master, but there happened to be another legendary helper beside him... They were not sure what the relationship between the two was for the time being, but judging from the previous information, the two were probably bound together. .
In other words, if they want to fight for Dawn City, the opponents they will face in the future will most likely be two legendary snipers!
Demon: "What are you afraid of? Fragment carriers are immune to level suppression. Even if they are two legendary levels, their attributes are just higher than ours when we fight, and the difference in combat power is not too obvious... What's more, I always feel There is something wrong with the legendary status of these two people..."
"What is the problem?"
"Think about it, we are all the first beta players to enter the game since the launch of "The Fool" two years ago. Before these two people appeared, we have always been the most advanced group on the planet. People. You also know how difficult it is to upgrade after level 20. Even if the opponent has the ability to make evolution potions, he will not be bottlenecked. In just two years,
Is it really possible for someone to upgrade to the legendary level? "The devil frowned and analyzed.
"What do you mean?"
"That's why I said that there might be something wrong with the legendary level of these two people. Maybe they used some means to temporarily upgrade to the legendary level. The actual level is at most two or three levels higher than us!"
The devil paused and continued: "At the same time, their method of raising it to the legendary level must have huge limitations and cannot be used at any time. Otherwise, when North American players and other forces asked them to take action, why did they Not even willing to come forward to help? The best explanation is that they were no longer able to use the power of the legendary level at that time."
"The devil's analysis is good, it is indeed possible..."
At this time, the emperor spoke, first confirming the devil's guess, and then said: "In addition, there is another point where we have an advantage."
"What?" the two asked.
"These two people have no power! They are fighting alone!" the emperor said.
"Ah, this..." Xiaoxiao heard the words but didn't agree with it: "Even if they don't join the forces themselves, they can still cooperate with the forces of the Celestial Dynasty? For example, the Dragon Group. Judging from the information that has been found so far, the Dragon Group seems to be related to this group. The two of them walked very close..."
But the emperor shook his head: "Cooperation is not that easy to achieve, especially when there is only one city owner. Cooperation that cannot be fully trusted is equivalent to a burden..."
"Having said all that, what are we going to do now?" the devil asked.
The emperor browsed through the replies in the forum. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Please remove our posts..."
"Huh? Are you really going to follow the other person's wishes?" Both of them were surprised.
"Yes, just follow the other party's suggestion. Anyway, our goal is just to gather all the pieces together..."
The emperor looked at the content of Captain Ghost's post and sneered: "August 26th, this is probably the date set by the other party who got stuck in the door... There are still eleven days left, which is enough for others to rush over. That's fine, too. The appeal is stronger, and you don’t have to worry about others not responding... Give the order and reserve the time for several doors!"
"Okay..." The two looked at each other and agreed with the emperor's decision.
…
The emperor's guess was correct. The reason why Mu You chose August 26th was precisely based on the time he entered.
The next time I go in is the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely not be able to get to the Evil Spirit Sea in time, so I can only do it next time, which is the 26th.
On the forum, an hour after Mu You's post was posted, the emperor finally responded.
To the surprise of many people, the Divine Right of Kings directly removed their summons post!
At the same time, Tianzi also personally left a message on the Ghost Captain's post, expressing his support for the Ghost Captain's decision. He would carry the two fragments and go to Turtle Island to meet at the appointed time.
In addition, the emperor also called on other fragment owners to open the Sky City as soon as possible and provide players with a place to stay. They must go to Turtle Island to meet up on the 26th. If you encounter any difficulties, such as being unable to go, you can always Contact them, the Divine Right of Kings, and they will help as much as possible.
This seemingly decent remark caused the lion to curse wildly. The hypocrite borrowed flowers to offer Buddhas and so on, and he seemed to be the emperor's number one enemy.
However, Mu You was quite satisfied with Tianzi's speech. At least the opponent did choose to give in and did not insist on fighting him in the ring. Otherwise, it would become a tug-of-war and subsequent actions would not be possible.
Of course, Mu You also knows that when this post is sent out, it will not only be a few fragment owners who will be attracted to Turtle Island, but also more players who are ready to watch the fun and steal the chicken.
There is no way around this. If the nine fragments want to gather together, a similar gathering place must be announced. Others cannot stop them from coming to see the fun.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, he is actually at an absolute disadvantage in this battle for city master.
The emperor's analysis was correct, he had no power to rely on.
Except for Lin Xue, Mu You had almost no helpers around him who could help him.
He is alone, but the other party is an alliance of entire forces, and they have mastered the entrance to the city before him, so they can plan in advance...
Therefore, from Mu You's point of view, there is no need to prevent other people from arriving. Instead, he should find a way to make the number of people in the Evil Spirit Sea more, much more!
The more muddy the water is, the easier it will be for him to move. After all, he holds the most important piece of the nine fragments in his hand - among all humans, he is the only one who knows the layout of the central area of Dawn City. This is His biggest advantage!
The turmoil over the gathering of fragments in today's forum has come to an end. It ended with the emperor's compromise, which also made countless players excited.
August 26th!
This day has become an important festival, because the first city of fools will most likely rise on this day!
Players are imagining what the Sky City will look like, and are discussing in the forum what changes will happen in the future after the city is established, and what new features will appear in the game.
Of course, there is also a group of players with a large base. After discovering that the gathering place is clear, they immediately have other thoughts.
Who stipulates that there must be fragments to compete for Sky City?
The instructions in the server-wide mission are very clear: the first person to touch the center of the city will become the city lord!
In other words, anyone who can follow those fragment owners into Sky City has a chance to become the city lord!
As a result, these ambitious people with the dream of becoming city lords, regardless of distance, immediately bought or rented ships in the game, formed a group of friends, set sail, and rushed towards the direction of the evil spirit sea...
