[Under Evans’ narration, you learned a secret that happened thousands of years ago. 】
[Thousands of years ago, Evans was still the most capable and trustworthy bodyguard around Caesar. However, the various cruel actions of Caesar after he became emperor have made Evans, a loyal follower of the Desert Goddess, disheartened, and even Regret fighting for him. 】
[Just at this time, Evans received a dagger presented by a mysterious person, which is the 'Desert Guardian'. With this artifact inherited from the Desert Goddess, and using his identity as a personal guard, he will have a close opportunity to assassinate Caesar. 】
[Everything went according to plan, but in the end, when he was about to stab the drunken Caesar in the heart, Evans hesitated. The culture of loyalty and faith he has been receiving since birth made him hesitate for a moment. With this stab, he will forever bear the infamy of 'Kingslayer'.
And it was this difference in thought that made him miss this only opportunity. Caesar, who already had divine power at the time, would not give Evans the chance to stab him a second time...]
["This time, I will not hesitate again!" Evans assured the bard with firm eyes: "I have understood that my loyalty is not to any monarch on this land, but to the desert goddess. I will I will abide by the goddess's decree and do my best to protect the desert. Anyone who tries to harm this land will be killed by me with my own hands!"]
[The bard looked at Evans and nodded with a smile, acknowledging his assurance. 】
"So that's it..."
Mu You breathed out. It seems that the fake magic lamp on the high platform was not prepared for him at all, but was a test set by the lamp god for Evans.
At that time, in the two people's understanding, the magic lamp was the only hope for Caesar's resurrection. If Evans had any hesitation about the disposal of the magic lamp after getting it at that time, it means that he was still facing Caesar. There is a possibility of mercy.
It is indeed important to confirm this. After all, to deal with Caesar, you must first open the realm of the djinn. This is no joke. If you want to pierce the dagger into the heart of Caesar who already has the body of the god, Evans There is basically only one chance to take action, so there is no room for hesitation.
Fortunately, Evans' performance was perfect. He destroyed the magic lamp without any hesitation, so that the lamp god could not find fault.
["I'm very pleased that the performance of you two warriors has met my expectations." The bard looked at you and Evans: "Then, I wonder if you two are ready for the next solar eclipse. Are you ready to open the realm of the lamp god and face Caesar? Or, you can wait another month to improve your strength. Although the lamp oil in the lamp is scarce, it is still enough to persist for another month."]
["You can do it at any time, this sword and I can't wait!" Evans stroked a seemingly ordinary dagger on his waist with a determined expression. 】
["Very good." The troubadour nodded with satisfaction, then looked at you: "So, what about you?"]
There are three options: [open the divine realm immediately during the next solar eclipse], [wait another month to be prepared], and [have nothing to do with me, decline the invitation of the djinn god].
Mu You deliberately tried it backwards, and choosing [Nothing to do with me] here will directly interrupt the inheritance mission of the God of Order.
This at least shows that what this djinn said should be true. He is indeed the servant responsible for selecting a successor for the God of Order, and has the ability to interrupt his inheritance mission.
As for one and two, Muyou thought about it and didn’t choose directly. Instead, he asked in the game first.
[You asked the genie, how to find the magic pen after entering the lighthouse? 】
["Although I built the lighthouse with my own hands, the magic pen has the power to modify the rules. After thousands of years have passed, the inside of the lighthouse has probably been modified beyond recognition. Besides, I have also lost my magical power. Therefore, after entering the lighthouse, I am afraid... Without any support from you, you need to personally complete the test set by the magic pen for the heir. Only with the approval of the magic pen will it appear and be used by you."]
"This djinn has been miserable..."
Mu You was speechless. It was just that his ability was taken away. Even his hometown had to be modified with a pen until he didn't even know the way...
Shaking his head, Mu You turned around and chose [open the divine realm immediately during the next solar eclipse].
There was no way, he couldn't get the God's Skin without getting the Magic Pen, and without the God's Skin, even if he waited another month, there would be no qualitative change in his strength. Instead of procrastinating, it would be better to start as soon as possible.
[Facing the gazes of the two people, you said that you have no problem and can enter the divine realm at any time. 】
[The bard breathed a sigh of relief at your choice. 】
[You shake hands with Evans and make peace. 】
[Congratulations, you triggered the hidden mission: Take back the magic pen! 】
[Task content: At the time of the solar eclipse at noon two days later, bring the miracle lamp into the realm of the genie, find the lighthouse in the realm, use the miracle lantern to open the entrance to the lighthouse, find the hidden pen of order in it, and use the divine Use the power of the pen to destroy Caesar’s army of millions of undead! 】
[Task reward: Get the support of the djinn and get three opportunities to make a wish to the djinn. 】
[You got the 'broken oil lamp' given by the bard. 】
[Broken oil lamp: An oil lamp with a rusty surface. The oil in the lamp is almost dry, but there seems to be a strange energy inside, indicating that it is extraordinary. 】
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. The specific tasks had been revealed, so the identity of the djinn was completely confirmed.
Next, Mu You conspired with the bard and Evans, and agreed on a specific action plan for two days.
When it all ended, it was already that afternoon.
Mu You controlled the character to return to the underground palace.
After Mu You arranged for the believers to conduct a wave of feint attacks in the Gobi, he ordered everyone to retreat immediately before the official battle.
At this moment, the followers of Caesar's Cult had already gathered in the palace, waiting for his good news.
[You show the miraculous lamp you obtained to the believers. 】
[When they learned that you successfully captured the Miracle Lamp from Evans, the believers immediately cheered and became more confident in rescuing Caesar two days later...]
Mu You has now rejoined Evans and has an army of 100,000 at his disposal. There is no shortage of manpower. However, the group of Caesar believers in front of him can still be used again to give Caesar a 'surprise'.
After returning to the palace, Mu You immediately issued a task to all the believers: everyone went back to prepare a cat, and two days later they all took their cats with him to see Caesar!
[The believers looked at each other after hearing your order. After looking at each other, the bald bandit among them looked at you and carefully asked on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty, Bishop, I heard that Emperor Caesar was afraid of... no, it was disgusting. There are rumors about cats. Will bringing a cat to see Emperor Caesar arouse the Emperor’s resentment?”]
It seems that this wild history has spread quite widely.
Mu You raised his eyebrows and entered in the game.
[You solemnly tell everyone that the rumor that Caesar is afraid of cats is pure nonsense. It is a lie made up by the king of the Azromar Empire in order to slander Caesar and reduce his influence! How could the majestic Caesar be afraid of a cat? 】
[When the believers heard this, most of them suddenly realized, but there were still a small number of people who showed doubts. 】
[Strike while the iron is hot and tell everyone that according to the exact information you have obtained, Emperor Caesar is actually a senior cat slave! He did not slaughter all the sand cats at the beginning, but in order to make it easier to suck the cats, he collected all the sand cats in the desert into his palace and raised them deliciously. 】
[Next, as long as they bring the cat to see Caesar, they will naturally gain the favor of Caesar! 】
[Thanks to my trust in you, those believers who still had doubts were completely relieved after your explanation. 】
【"I see!"】
["I've said it before, how could Emperor Caesar be afraid of cats? It was indeed the evil King Azromar who did it!"]
["Thanks to the Bishop for reminding us, we will set off to find the cat now. I hope it's not too late..."]
["I know that there are many newborn sand cat nests in the border area of Qingyan Desert next door. Maybe we can go there to look for it..."]
…
In the pet shop, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief as he saw in the text that a group of believers were already discussing where to find cats.
In this way, the preparations in the game are completed, and all that is left is to wait for the solar eclipse to arrive.
Of course, in reality, he himself still needs to make some preparations.
Mu You took a look and found that the cooldown of the 'door' had been refreshed this morning and could be entered at any time. Two days later, when he went to the God Realm to find the magic pen, it was almost impossible to operate it in the game. He would definitely have to go there in person.
It just so happened that he had already obtained the bones and blood of the demon god. If he could get the magic pen successfully after entering the door in two days, he could go directly to the underground of Dawn City, fuse the blood, and unlock the skin of the god.
…
Just when Mu You was busy refining medicine and making cards in his backpack.
Outside the pet shop, Mu Mianmeng and Coke were lying sneakily in front of the shop door. Two, one big and one small, peeked out from the door frame and peeked at a green belt on the street not far away.
In the direction where they were peeking, a white-haired old man was sitting on the floor tiles, leaning against the wall, breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
The old man has a stooped figure and wrinkles all over his face. He is leaning on a cane in one hand and holding the luggage cart next to him with the other hand. He is exerting force with both hands, as if he wants to use the force to get up, but his outstretched palms are trembling. Tall, skinny, and visibly old, he tried many times but could not succeed.
"Did she fall?" the little girl asked Coke.
"Be careful, it might be a scam!" Coke's alert voice sounded in the little girl's mind.
"How do you know?" the little girl asked.
"I have been observing her for a long time. An hour ago, this person appeared and wandered near our house, pushing a small cart and kept wandering around. He also looked into our store from time to time, but did not dare to come in. He was sneaky, and he was probably visiting places. Well..." Detective Coke analyzed.
"oh……"
"Be careful, she found us!" Coke suddenly shouted.
Mu Mianmeng was stunned and looked up, only to see that the old man in the distance had indeed looked towards them and waved to her: "Little girl, could you please help me..."
"Huh? Me?" Mu Mianmeng pointed to herself and looked around to see that there was no one else around. She was a little panicked for a moment and subconsciously asked Coke for help. However, when she looked down, she realized that Coke had already slipped away.
After hesitating at the door for a few seconds, she walked out of the door, walked carefully to the old man, and said hesitantly: "Say in advance, old lady, I will help you up, but if you touch the porcelain, I will also lie on the ground and cry." !”
"Haha, don't worry, little girl, I'm a good person, but I just can't stand up anymore..." the old man said with a smile, and then tried hard to get up, but he got stuck on the wall again, making it difficult to exert his strength.
Mu Mianmeng subconsciously stepped forward and gave him a hand, finally allowing the old man to stand up successfully.
The old man who stood up was still stooped, relying on crutches to stand steady. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and touched the little girl's head with a smile: "Thank you, you are such a good boy..."
"hey-hey……"
Seeing the old man's kind expression, the little girl relaxed and had the courage to communicate: "Old lady, why are you sitting here?"
"I came here to see my children, but I am old and have bad legs and feet. I couldn't walk until I got here, so I sat down and took a rest..." the old man said with a smile.
"Oh, that's it..." The little girl nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then follow me to my store and sit down. I'll ask Mu You to find it for you."
"Muyou?"
"That's the manager of this store!" The little girl pointed to the pet store nearby.
"That would be great if you could."
The old man smiled and nodded, and then he was about to push the luggage cart to the entrance of the pet shop.
"How about I help you push the cart?" Mu Mianmeng immediately showed her enthusiasm when she saw the old man struggling to push the cart.
"No need, this luggage is quite heavy, I'm afraid you can't push it." The old man said with a smile.
"How could it be? Old lady, you may not think I'm short, but I'm actually a hundred times stronger than you!" the little girl said confidently.
"I... am not that weak..." The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" the little girl urged.
A few minutes later.
"Well……"
The little girl leaned back and dragged her hands on the handle of the stroller. She exerted all her strength. Even though her face was red and her neck was thick from holding it in, the stroller still stayed in place, motionless.
"I'll do it..."
The old man smiled and put his hands on the handle of the cart, and the cart began to move slowly.
It took a few more minutes before the two finally moved into the pet shop.
"Old lady, did you bring a box of gold?" Back at the pet shop, the little girl looked at the luggage cart at her feet with lingering fear, and looked at the old man in disbelief.
"Just some useless bottles and cans..."
The old man smiled and reached out to unzip his backpack.
The little girl hurriedly took a look inside and found that there was really a pile of broken bottles and jars inside, some of which still had dirt on the surface, as if they had just been dug out of the earth.
The old man fumbled around in the bag for a few times, and finally took out two wrinkled oranges and stuffed them into the little girl: "Thank you very much, little girl, but it's a pity that I didn't bring anything delicious with me..."
The little girl didn't dislike it. She took the orange and was about to say something when she heard Mu You's voice from behind: "Mianmian, what is this?"
"Mu You, this old woman is looking for her child, please help her look for her child!" the little girl said hurriedly.
"Oh?" Mu You then looked at the old man, took a quick look, and found nothing unusual, so he casually asked, "What's your child's name? Let me see if you recognize him."
"Actually, I don't know what your name is, I only know that my last name is Chris..."
As the old man spoke, he also looked up at Mu You, glanced at him and suddenly froze: "Eh..."
"Young man, are you...the administrator?"
"Huh?" Mu You was very surprised.
He was already surprised when he heard the other party say he was looking for 'Chris', but he didn't expect the other party to say the word 'administrator' right after that...
The little girl looked at Mu You, then at the old man, and corrected, "No, Mu You is the store manager, not the administrator. The administrator is Xiaoya."
"Haha, when I say administrator, I mean something else." The old man quickly regained his composure and smiled at the little girl.
"Are you, too..."
Mu You looked at the old man suspiciously and asked.
When the other party mentioned Chris, he had already guessed the identity of the old man: this was obviously the ancestor that Fuya had summoned before. It seems that the summons at that time still worked, but the other party could not show up immediately at that time.
But what surprised him even more was the word 'administrator'. Being able to call out his identity as an 'administrator', Mu You immediately thought that the other party was also an 'administrator'?
"Haha, I used to be, but later I found it too troublesome and resigned..." the old man said slowly.
"Resign...why?"
Mu You looked weird, could this guy still resign?
"Because I have to work hard and have no salary. It was okay when I was young. Now I just want to support myself in old age, but I can't do such a tiring job. It is really up to you young people to do this kind of thing..." The old man shook his head and smiled.
