[Edward Jack: No, man! 】
[Edward Jack: You must not post anything. If you post, too many people will know about your imprisonment, and it will be more likely to reach the ears of the Octopus King. I will save you then. Is it harder? 】
[Lamplighter: What do you think we should do? 】
[Edward Jack: Leave it to me, I promise to find a way to rescue you! 】
[Lamplighter: Then... I leave it to you. 】
[Lamplighter: In addition, in case no one comes to save me, or you gather the fragments and then leave, I will not take out the fragments easily in the future. I will only take them out after seeing the person who comes to save me. 】
Muyou added an additional restriction.
[Edward Jack: No problem, just wait for my good news! 】
The other party agreed happily.
[Lamplighter: That’s good! When I get out of prison, I will treat you to dinner when I have time! 】
[Edward Jack: Haha, easy to talk about, that’s it, see you later. 】
[Lamplighter: See you later. 】
"Oh shit……"
On the other side of the southern island, Jack ended the private chat in the game and kept cursing.
Unexpectedly, this little guy who he once used as a backup turned out to be quite smart in what he did. It didn't matter whether he was actually in prison or not. What mattered was the condition this person put forward later: if others don't go to prison to save him, he would Don’t take out the fragments!
In this way, even if all the other shard holders gathered together outside, without his piece, they would not be able to gather the nine pieces, and they would not be able to open the entrance to Dawn City. This is clearly forcing others to save him.
As for the other party's method of hiding the fragment, it is also very simple. Just extract the fragment into reality, give it to a friend you know, let the other party store it in the game, and then take the other party offline, so that the fragment will continue to collapse unobservably. status, absolutely safe.
"Boss Jack, are we really going to rescue people?" A pirate subordinate next to him asked at this time.
"Don't go, save me!"
Jack cursed secretly and shook his head. The underwater prison is right under the eyes of the Octopus King. Going there to help people escape is really impatient.
What's more, the underwater prison is known as the most stringent prison in history. Since its establishment, no one has ever escaped. How can it be said that one can escape from prison?
"But if we don't go, what will happen to his fragment?" the subordinate asked.
The other party's conditions are also very clear. If no one rescues him, his fragments will not be taken out, and Dawn City will never be able to open, let alone other cities. This condition is extremely rogue and simply puts personal interests above all mankind.
Of course, they had to admit that if they were in this situation, they would probably put forward similar conditions. After all, no one wants to be locked up in prison for a hundred years. Even if they are just game characters, they must save themselves even if they threaten all mankind. come out.
"It's very simple. Tell the emperor about this. Anyway, he is the one who wants the second fragment. He is also the one who wants the entrance to Dawn City to open the most. Let him have the headache. Let's just sit back and enjoy the success..." Jack sneered.
As the force with the most fragments and the greatest advantage, the Emperor's side is also the party that can't afford to lose the most. He will never allow the opening of Dawn City to fail because of the lack of a certain fragment.
After learning about this, he had to go even if he didn't want to!
"Tell the emperor, what if he gets this fragment in the end?" His subordinates were worried.
"You're kidding, you underestimate King Octopus and the Undersea Prison too much. If the Emperor can really rescue people with just one visit to the prison, then he has the ability. So what if I give up the City of Auroville?"
Jack said disdainfully: "However, the greater possibility is that the Emperor will attract the hatred of the Octopus King because of this incident. It would be great if the Emperor and the Octopus King could fight each other. Let's find the opportunity to backstab him. Maybe I can snatch a fragment from the Emperor's hand..."
Jack quickly planned the entire chess game in his mind, and without wasting any time, he immediately contacted the emperor during the game.
【Edward
·Jack: Emperor, please reply quickly, we have something important to discuss. 】
[Emperor: Say. 】
The emperor happened to be online and responded to the message concisely and concisely.
[Edward Jack: One of my collaborators is trapped on the fourth floor of the underwater prison! 】
[Emperor:? 】
[Emperor: You mean... the fragment holder? 】
[Edward Jack: Of course, the fragment in his hand is No. 2, and now he is asking us to rescue him, and he will not take out the fragment until he sees us appearing...]
Jack also tried to describe the matter as concisely as possible.
[Emperor: What are you going to do? 】
[Edward Jack: I don’t know. Haven’t you always wanted this fragment? I'm not interested at all. 】
[Edward Jack: In short, this is the situation now. It's up to you to decide. Let me know if you make a decision. 】
After speaking, Jack directly cut off the private chat without giving the emperor time to think.
At this time, in a building in Europe.
"What do you think?"
The emperor dropped his phone on the table and waited for others to discuss.
"That's so fake. Everyone knows where the underwater prison is. How could anyone be so stupid as to try to rob it?" the devil sneered.
"That's right, and it happened to be the second fragment we needed. No matter how you look at it, it's a trap!" Smile frowned.
"Is it a trap..."
The emperor was noncommittal about this, tapping his fingers on the table, and ordered: "First send someone to get the fragments to verify the authenticity, and also ask about the Dragon Knight Pirates..."
With an order, everyone began to work.
The Divine Right of Kings now has a large number of people in the Evil Spirit Sea, so it is not difficult to verify the intelligence.
An hour later, the news came back.
"President, the fragment has been verified. There is indeed a map fragment in the undersea prison, but I am not sure what number it is."
"President, according to the information obtained by the Dragon Knight Pirates, their son was just imprisoned on the fourth floor of the prison last week because he burned down the Octopus King's casino. The Dragon Knight Pirates were indeed imprisoned. There is a reward, and I want to help him escape from prison secretly. The reward is a dragon training stone..."
Everyone present was stunned when two consecutive verification messages came back.
"Could it be that what Jack said is true?" The smile was a bit unbelievable.
"But if it's true, why did Jack tell us? Doesn't this give us a chance?" The devil frowned.
"It's very simple, because he wants us to have a conflict with the Octopus King, and the other party doesn't need Fragment Two. He can just sit back and watch the fight. Telling us this news will only be good for him, and there will be no harm." Calm analysis.
"Then let's... go?" He smiled hesitantly.
"Go! Because there is a restriction that "you can't assemble the fragments without saving people", we can only go. After all, we are the party with the greatest advantage now and the party that hopes for a quick victory the most. We must come forward when encountering such a thing, otherwise Others will not come forward, and if the delay continues, it will become increasingly disadvantageous for us. "
The emperor said: "Of course, going to visit the prison does not mean to rob the prison. Remember, our goal is just to gather the nine fragments. When we meet the person, we can use some tricks to trick Huairou into taking out the fragments. , as long as the fragments are together and the entrance is opened, we will retreat immediately. As for this No. 2 fragment, it would be best if we can buy it from the opponent or come over. If not, it doesn’t matter. Even without this fragment, we still have the advantage. The biggest party!"
"Then we...just agree to Jack?" Smile asked uncertainly.
"Agree, and it might be a good thing to set the gathering place of the fragments in the undersea prison: precisely because the undersea prison is the territory of the Octopus King, right under the Octopus King's nose, no one can do anything here, Jack. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to bribe the Octopus King. In other words, the underwater prison is the safest and fairest meeting place for everyone."
After the emperor analyzed it, it seemed that even he was convinced.
Turning on the phone, he informed Jack of the decision to set the meeting place at the underwater prison.
[Edward Jack: Let’s meet in the undersea prison... It’s fine on my end, but the ghost captain is also involved. What did he say? 】
[Emperor: I will discuss it with him later. 】
[Edward Jack: OK, I’ll leave it to you. 】
After hanging up the private chat with Jack, the emperor immediately found "Ghost Captain"'s friends.
[Emperor: Some emergencies have occurred. The meeting point of the relevant fragments is tentatively determined to be on the fourth floor of the underwater prison...]
[Captain Ghost:? ? ? 】
[Captain Ghost: What trap did you set in the underwater prison? 】
[Emperor: This is absolutely not the case! The reason this time is that something happened with Jack...]
Emperor Balabala explained everything and quickly explained the cause and effect.
[Emperor: This is the specific situation. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Jack yourself. 】
[Captain Ghost: Helping someone escape from prison ended up being imprisoned... This sounds ridiculous! 】
[Emperor: Yes, we also think it is fake, but that is the fact. In addition, arranging the meeting place in the underwater prison actually has some advantages...]
The emperor once again analyzed the advantages of the underwater prison. The arguments were clear and the logic was rigorous. He wrote a short paper in a flash.
[Captain Ghost: What you said makes sense, so be it. 】
[Emperor: In terms of time, do you have any requirements? 】
[Captain Ghost: As for the time, please refer to the local time. On the 26th, at 8pm, everyone will enter the underwater prison and start the meeting. How about it? 】
[Emperor: Yes. 】
[Emperor: Please arrive on time. 】
[Captain Ghost: Don’t worry. 】
After closing the private chat, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, he successfully guided the meeting place to a relatively favorable position for him.
The visiting area of the underwater prison only has the first, second and fourth floors, and each person can only visit once a year. At the same time, a high visiting fee of 100 years of life is required.
But this cost is definitely nothing to people like Emperor Jack.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You didn't have much time to pay attention to the fragments, but hurriedly focused his attention back on the game.
He had been catching the mana floating dragon in the Sunlight Forest, and just when the emperor sent a private message, a text suddenly popped up on his game interface that surprised him.
[Pumpkin lantern special effects, trigger! 】
[Under the cyan glow of the pumpkin lantern, you see some strange scratches on the golden-red mud beneath your feet. These are not animal footprints, but more like irregular marks made by plants such as tree branches. 】
"Traffic marks? Tree people? Saplings?"
Mu You frowned. He knew that there were many small tree people living in this sunshine forest, but they were mostly active only during the day.
And if it's just an ordinary tree person, it shouldn't be specially reminded by the jack-o-lantern. After all, there are similar traces of branches everywhere in the forest.
No matter what it was, Mu You decided to chase after it and take a look first.
[You followed the traces and searched all the way, and finally came to a bush. 】
[Through the gap in the trees, you saw a strange-looking figure. 】
[It was a slender tree man about fifteen centimeters tall. However, compared to the thin torso, its head was made up of a cerebral cortex-like hemisphere composed of folds and ravines, making it look serious. It is top-heavy and looks like a "walking brain". 】
[At this moment, this tree man with a "brain" on his head is picking leaves on the dirt and stuffing them into his mouth one by one to taste the taste. 】
[The omniscient crystal feeds back the other party’s information for you. 】
[Wisdom Tree: A special kind of tree plant with super intelligence, active only at night,
In the mobile state, the body is fragile and the courage is very timid. Once a large creature approaches or attacks too suddenly, it will faint and die on the spot.
When rooted, it transforms back into an ordinary plant, greatly increasing its survivability, but losing its wisdom, and produces one wisdom fruit every day. 】
wisdom Tree!
Mu You's eyes lit up.
Others may have never heard of this thing, but as a potion master, he is very familiar with it!
As early as when he first started learning potions, he had seen detailed descriptions of this creature in Vivian's books, and it was one of the creatures that was highlighted.
The "wisdom fruit" produced by the wisdom tree can be used to make a variety of important potions, such as smart potion, photographic memory potion, etc.
But the most important and famous one is the "Perception Potion": after taking it, it can double the comprehension ability for a period of time. In other words, if you drink a bottle of perception potion before learning a magic class, your comprehension of the next lesson will be The progress will be doubled!
There is no doubt about the rarity of this thing. Although it is not as precious as a unicorn, it is at least as high as a mandrake, enough to become a treasure in the store.
If Mu You encounters something like this, he must not let it go and capture it decisively.
Mu You first controlled the characters to set up a circle of traps around them, and then appeared to pursue them.
[The Wisdom Tree discovered your presence, and when it saw you rushing toward it, it immediately began to run away in panic. 】
[The Wisdom Tree steps lightly over your trap with a zigzag step, with just the right focus, so that it does not trigger any traps...]
This thing really lived up to its reputation. The traps were completely useless to it, and they were all seen through at a glance.
Next, Mu You tried to capture the opponent using teleportation and chain claws.
The results also ended in failure. It's not that he can't catch it, but because the opponent is too timid. So timid that Mu You just teleports to the opponent and it will lie down directly.
The meaning of "lying dead" here does not mean pretending to be dead, but actually being scared to death! Yes, this thing is so courageous.
As soon as the other party dies, the body will disappear. The next resurrection will take a long time, and there is no telling where it will be resurrected.
This fundamentally blocked the possibility of Mu You using force to capture the opponent.
There was no other way, so Mu You had no choice but to retrace the time and follow step by step, neither daring to get too close nor being pulled too far away.
The only way now is to continuously consume its physical strength. Only when its physical strength is completely exhausted and has to take root can it be captured.
[The Wisdom Tree reached out and groped around in the brain stem, and threw a wisdom fruit at you! 】
[You caught the fruit of wisdom. The crystal clear fruit in front of you made your mouth water. You couldn’t help but bite it...]
[You were poisoned to death by the wisdom fruit! 】
[You are dead, life span -100 years, experience value -100...]
"Backtrack!"
[Time goes by and you go back to five seconds ago. 】
[...The crystal fruit in your hand will make you salivate again, you...]
This time, before the character could eat the fruit, Mu You quickly clicked on the "Wisdom Fruit" and extracted the fruit into reality.
A crystal-clear fruit appeared in Muyou's hand.
The moment he saw this fruit, which was only the size of a glass bead, Mu You couldn't help but swallow, subconsciously wanting to swallow it, he hurriedly calmed his mind and put the fruit away, out of sight.
This is the effect of this fruit: any creature that sees it will instinctively want to swallow it.
However, this thing is highly poisonous and can only be eaten after being used as medicine. Anyone who swallows it will definitely die, and will lose ten years of life at a time.
The Wisdom Tree often relies on throwing the wisdom fruit at the enemy to poison the enemy to help itself escape.
Fortunately, Mu You, as a professional potion master, would not make such common sense mistakes.
