Chapter 221 The Lost City of Dawn
【You granted Beaver's request to board the boat. 】
【The **** landed on the deck, still dragging the small suitcase in his hand, and introduced to you its purpose. 】
[The **** family is a natural navigator of the ocean, and they are best at drawing charts around the world. At the same time, they are the most devout believers in the **** of runes. They are happy to collect all kinds of magic and spell scrolls, and feel the magic runes in them Inspiration from the gods. 】
【So the **** family is both charters and scroll collectors. They are happy to use their own charts to exchange various rune scrolls with humans. To them, this is a great work of art. 】
【The **** sees your ship. A captain with a large ship like you probably needs a nautical chart, so he deliberately chases after you. If you have a free scroll, he will be happy to make a deal with you. 】
【Do you agree to trade with it? 】
"emmm..."
Looking at the prompt of the game text, Mu You had a strange expression on his face.
The **** family migrates and travels in the sea all year round, and is good at drawing charts, which is understandable.
It’s just a race of animals, but they still have the habit of collecting human scrolls, and they are not used, but used as collectibles...
Okay, it's a beaver!
Mu You chose to agree.
He may not have anything else, but he still has the scroll!
He hasn’t made any moves on the scrolls of ‘Enduring Technique’ and ‘Wooden Clone’ that he got in the previous meeting. This is a mid-level spell scroll and a high-level spell scroll, which is very valuable.
He also hesitated before, whether to continue to hang on Longteng software to exchange for points, this kind of thing is hung too frequently, there is a certain risk of exposure, it is best to find another way to sell.
As a result, now, a civet cat who claims to be a scroll collector took the initiative to find it, and what he got in exchange was a nautical chart, which is more important for navigation...
Mu You decided to see what the opponent's chart was before talking.
【You expressed that you want to see the other party's goods first. 】
【The **** readily agreed and opened its small suitcase. 】
【The suitcase is packaged in exquisite glass, and contains six scrolls of charts. 】
[The latest version of the map of the underground river basin of the Laner Empire: the map of the underground river of the empire has finally been produced with the efforts of countless **** travelers in the past. It is more accurate than any similar map in the world, and a large number of other charts have been explored Unexplored hidden waterways and bizarre locations. Value: high-level spell scroll*1, or high-level magic scroll*3. 】
【Nax submarine prison distribution map: The **** family risked their lives to sneak into the legendary ancient prison, and after sacrificing a large number of lives of the same family, they drew a topographical distribution map. Value: high-level spell scroll*1...]
【Guaro River Basin Map...】
【A mysterious map fragment...】
【The latest version of the map of the Cook Islands waters...】
【Basi sea area map...】
The six scrolls are really all charts, and the one that attracted Mu You's attention the most is undoubtedly the first one, a map of the empire's underground rivers.
He also has a map of the underground river at hand, but it's just a rough map drawn from Vivian's memory.
Vivienne certainly didn't have much in-depth research on places like underground rivers, so this map can't be said to be very accurate. What's more, Vivienne's memory stays a hundred years ago. After so many years, even the ordinary river map should have been updated several generations ago.
The map sold by the civet cat is quite useful for Mu You, not only because of the current demand, but with this map, he can easily open up an exclusive waterway underground in the empire in the future.
Without much hesitation, Mu You chose to buy, but before buying, he first held the pocket watch.
【You paid Beaver for a 'Wooden Clone' scroll. 】
【You have obtained the ‘Map of the Underground River Basin of the Laner Empire’. 】
【Start with the map, you can open it immediately to view it. The river map is full of various labels, which are much more detailed than you imagined. This is indeed a map with great value for money. 】
Mu You estimated the time, and when it was five seconds, he pressed his pocket watch.
【You used a short period of two or three seconds to quickly memorize a small part of the map, and then reversed the time, trying to white wolf with nothing. 】
【Unfortunately, after time has passed, you find that your head is empty, and you can’t recall even half of the map you just wrote down. 】
"Oh?" Mu You was taken aback, what's going on? Failed prostitution?
Undeterred, I repeated the steps just now and went back several times, but the result was the same, every time it reminded me that my mind was empty.
【Back in time, you didn’t rush to buy the charts, but asked Beaver what’s special about the materials of these charts. 】
【The beavers tell you that they encountered some wizards with clairvoyance and foresight abilities in the past chart transactions, which led to their hard work being copied on a large scale at zero cost and turned into profit-making tools. Therefore, in order to ensure that their intellectual products will not be misappropriated, the beavers will use special anti-theft methods in the future chart drawing. All the charts they produce cannot be captured by video devices, and when someone tries to copy the chart , the memory will be erased and the copied chart lines will disappear automatically. 】
"Automatically erase memories? Automatically erase duplicates?"
Mu You was amazed. The **** family is a bit awesome. They don’t know magic, but they can come up with such a wonderful anti-theft method. This effect has almost caught up with Lu Yao’s ability to hide.
Confirming that prostitution is not possible, Mu You didn't bother anymore, and directly replaced this map of the underground river area.
There was one middle-level scroll left, and Mu You browsed through the remaining charts.
But other charts are a bit far away for him. Even if he gets them, he won't be able to go there in a short time. Changing them won't be of much use.
When Mu You was thinking of ending the transaction, a text popped up in the game.
【Beaver saw another scroll of immortality in your hand, and seeing that you were still undecided, he recommended another item in the box—the mysterious chart fragment (Part 2). 】
[This sea chart was not drawn by the Beaver Clan, but a map it accidentally picked up during the voyage, but this is not a complete map, but a fragment from a certain map, only one-ninth the size, And the map is wrapped in a mysterious mist, making it impossible to see the contents. 】
【According to the analysis of the elders in the clan, this seems to be a map specially prepared for fools. Only fools can see the contents through the black mist. 】
【Because they couldn’t see the content, the beavers couldn’t estimate the value, so they temporarily sold it at the price of the mid-level scroll. 】
【And the reason why Beaver recommends this map to you is precisely because it sees your identity as a fool, and believes that this map is the most suitable product for you. 】
"A map specially prepared for fools?"
Mu You's face was weird for a moment, after thinking about it, he chose to exchange it, and checked the instructions with the Omniscient Crystal.
[Map Fragments of the Ancient City of Dawn (Part 2): One of the residences of the Fool's ancestors, a lost ancient city, and map fragments of the ruins of the City of Dawn. Collect at least three map fragments, which can display the contents of the map, and are only visible to the Fool. . 】
Is it actually the residence of the ancestors of the Fool?
No wonder it's only visible to fools!
The secrecy method imposed on this map seems to be much more sophisticated than the anti-theft technique of the Beaver Clan. Not only can only people of a specific race see it, but at least three maps need to be gathered together to display the content.
This kind of unique thing, whether it is useful or not, must be exchanged for it. It is just an intermediate scroll. If it falls into the hands of other players, it will be far more than this price if you want to get it back!
【You exchanged the map fragments with the **** with the scroll of 'Endless Art', and asked the other party if there were no similar map fragments yet. 】
【It's a pity that the **** family also has its own territory. At least within the range of the Laner Empire, it has not seen similar fragments. 】
"As expected..."
It's a pity that Mu You secretly said, but this is also normal. If such fragments can be obtained casually, then he will have to doubt the authenticity.
【You asked Beaver to keep an eye out for similar map fragments in the future, and then ended the transaction. 】
[The **** expressed his gratitude for your patronage, and before leaving, he gave you a special whistle. If there are any spell scrolls that need to be traded in the future, just blow the whistle, and its kin will come within a day . 】
【You got 'Beaver Whistle'*1. 】
…
Looking at the text, the **** jumped off the Ghost and drove the boat far away.
Mu You then clicked on the two charts obtained just now and looked at them respectively.
Both are square maps, but the size is very different. The map of the underground river area is as big as a tablecloth, while the map fragment is only the size of an A3 paper.
Comparing the two images together, the fragmented map indeed looks like one-ninth of a complete map cut out.
A layer of gray mist shrouded the fragmented map. Mu You tried various methods at hand, including anti-invisibility, dispersal, omniscient crystal, jack-o-lantern, etc., but he couldn't see through them all. It takes at least three pieces to be visible.
After putting away the fragmented map, Mu You spread the river map on the table and observed it carefully.
This river channel map is indeed drawn with incomparable precision, ranging from the large underground rocks and mineral reefs to the small underground wells dug by urban residents in various places. Mu You was a little dizzy at first glance.
Mu You observed patiently and carefully, and quickly found his location and the location of the capital of the empire, and the combination of pathways that can connect the two is as numerous as capillaries.
Ghost is still on a relatively short route. Mu You didn't rush to change the route. He continued to observe around, but soon noticed another location.
Stanlow Freshwater Lake.
Located in a large lake near the capital of the empire, this place was the place where Frog said he was trapped in his letter, so Mu You paid special attention to it. As a result, after looking at it, an abnormality was immediately discovered.
