Chapter 238 The Wizarding Association Moves the Capital
"Sure enough, martial law has begun..."
In an alleyway in the imperial capital, Mu You sighed secretly as he watched the scene of teams of guard knights patrolling the streets outside.
The war here is over, the Arcane Tower disappears, and the Fool has regained his freedom of movement. He originally thought about taking the opportunity to stroll around the city, but when he came to the street to take a look, he realized that he was thinking too much.
Because of the war just now, almost all the residents and shops in the imperial capital are hiding in their homes, shutting their doors.
And on the streets, a large number of guard knights have also begun to implement a curfew strategy. They can't tell who is a fool now, but they don't need to tell. They directly block the city and let everyone stay at home. It is the fool who no doubt sees one and drives the other out.
The curfew started an hour ago. At this moment, the players are either offline or have already evacuated the imperial capital through the south city gate. The airborne team hastily collected some building debris and returned to the sky in time. up the earth.
"Let's go out of the city too, and come back in the daytime?" Lin Xue suggested behind him.
"It's meaningless, there is too much commotion tonight, the blockade can't last only one night. Leave a teleportation array, let's go directly." Mu You shook his head.
It will be more troublesome for others to come in after leaving the city, but they have dark teleportation and can come back at any time.
Of course, the teleportation array is not placed casually. In an important place like the capital of the empire, if the teleportation array is placed in the imperial capital, it will be demolished sooner or later.
After much deliberation, Mu You still felt that it was safest to be near the underground fountain where he entered the city before.
Then Mu You let Lin Xue and Vivian into the backpack, and he rode a chocobo to the reservoir.
The reservoir in the middle of the night is quiet and silent. The embankment made of bluestone extends down tens of meters deep, and the water surface is as smooth as a mirror.
After putting away the chocobo, Mu You jumped into the lake below, swam all the way to the bottom, and soon found the jet tunnel underwater.
This jet tunnel is a one-way street, you can only walk from bottom to top, jumping from top to bottom will definitely be sprayed back.
However, this did not bother Mu You, he directly entered the rock formation at the bottom of the lake with a ground entry technique, and dived all the way, and soon came to the underground river channel tens of meters below, found a hidden position, and placed a dark teleportation at the bottom of the water array.
Then Mu You took out the storage wine bottle and poured out the ghost ship in it.
With a loud plop, the Ghost rushed into the river with the water in the bottle, and quickly returned to its original size, rolling the turbulent water waves on the river.
was sealed in the bottle in the middle of the night, at this time all the skeleton crew immediately rushed out of the cabin, cheering on the deck.
Mu You entered the captain's room, and gave the ship spirit a new route to leave the imperial capital along the way it came.
After watching the Ghost set sail, he jumped into the bottom of the water, stepped into the teleportation array, teleported to the vampire's tomb, and sealed up the remains of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue.
It was only three o'clock in the morning, and there were still fourteen hours before the closing time. The two of them were not in a hurry to go back. Since they had arrived at Misty Mountain, they simply started practicing on the spot.
After the public beta, it is almost impossible to find a comfortable leveling area like the devil's seabed and the rotting swamp. Basically all the leveling areas can encounter crowds of players. There are more wolves and less meat, and there is no such thing as looting monsters. Can't stop it.
The Misty Mountain is relatively good. Due to the steep terrain and the enveloping mist, there are not many players who can go up to more than 1,000 meters. Two people wander here, and they can encounter a monster in about ten minutes on average. After coming down, you can earn a small thousand points of experience, and you can easily collect the herbs you encounter along the way. The overall income is not bad.
With their strength, the monsters in the Misty Mountain are no longer difficult at all. The two randomly recruited a few summons and pushed them all the way.
Time passed quickly, the two traveled from the south of the mountain to the north of the mountain, and the sky gradually entered the morning.
After coming to the north of the mountain, Mu You stood on a rock halfway up the mountain somewhere, looked down, but just saw the thatched house and courtyard hidden in the morning mist at the foot of the mountain below, and couldn't help being taken aback.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue saw his strangeness and asked.
"It's nothing...you continue to practice, I'll go down and have a look." Mu You and Lin Xue greeted each other, and went down the mountain alone.
The hut of the farming old man. In the game, he has not been back for almost a month, but in reality, this is the first time he has come here in real life.
Following the mountain path all the way to the foot of the mountain, Mu You saw the small courtyard ahead.
The small courtyard itself is not too big, it looks a bit dilapidated, but the scenery is quite elegant, and there are several acres of farmland behind the small courtyard, which is criss-crossed. Counting the fields, the total area is not small.
The small courtyard and the farmland behind it are surrounded by fences. Although it is just a low fence, it is a magic item after all. After it is fenced, it will automatically establish an enchantment. The area is a personal residence, without the permission of the owner. Others cannot force their way in at will.
After the public beta, there was a large influx of players. This small courtyard must have been patronized by many players. Perhaps to avoid being disturbed, the gate of the courtyard is closed at this moment, and the courtyard is quiet.
It is only 5:30 in the morning, and the sky is just getting brighter. Mu You didn't intend to disturb the old man's rest so early, but planned to look at the yard from a distance.
Unexpectedly, when he looked around, he immediately saw an old woman on crutches standing in front of the courtyard. She was also looking around, as if she was looking for something, and soon noticed Mu You in the distance. With joy on his face, he waved to him from a distance, beckoning him to come over.
Mu You was a little surprised, he didn't put on the skin of a herb picker now, he was using the skin of a vampire just now...
With doubts, Mu You walked over.
"Son, you are back!" The old man looked at him with a smile, his face full of relief.
"How...how did you recognize me?" Mu You asked in embarrassment.
"Hehe, after all you have lived with me for a month, can I still not recognize you?" The old man smiled kindly.
Mu You didn't delve too deeply into this issue either. As expected, the old man knew that he was not a real herb collector, but he still treated him as his own child.
"Your horn." Mu You took out the Harvest Horn from the ring and returned it to the old man.
The old man took the horn, rubbed it nostalgicly, looked at Mu You and asked, "Did it help you?"
"Of course, it was a great help." Mu You nodded. Not to mention the role of the Harvest Horn itself, the black magic "crazy growth" transformed by the Harvest Horn has frequently had a bright performance in the recent period, and there is no credit for it.
"That's good." The old man nodded with a gratified smile, and he was already pulling him to enter the door: "I've been running around for a month, so I'm tired, come in and have something to eat."
Mu You was pulled into the door by the old man and sat down in the main house, but she went to work in the kitchen by herself.
Mu You turned his head and took a look. The house is not big, with simple tables and chairs, simple decoration, mostly bamboo and wood products, and it is kept clean.
It looks simple and elegant, but most of the household facilities are relatively backward after all. Now that there is a space ring, it can conveniently transport materials. In the future, some daily necessities can be sent from the earth to help the elderly improve their conditions.
After a while, the busy voice in the kitchen quieted down, and the old man came out with a porcelain bowl, and put a bowl of rice porridge in front of Mu You.
In the white porcelain bowl, there are diced pieces of various grains and dishes, reconciled into colorful colors. It is the colorful rice porridge that his game characters have eaten many times before.
Seeing this miraculous rice porridge in real life, Mu You realized that both the appearance and the smell were much better than expected.
Take a spoon and taste it. The porridge rice is soft and smooth, sweet and salty, with a strong fragrance, and the taste is not picky.
After eating the thick porridge spoonful after spoonful, Mu You immediately felt a strange magic power surge in his body, flowing into his limbs and bones, not only fully recovering his lost magic power, but also recovering his lost magic power from the battle last night. Fatigue is exhausted.
The old man looked at him eating very deliciously, and smiled very satisfied, but after looking at it for a while, he suddenly noticed something, and he was a little surprised: "The breath of the elves... It seems that you have been out for a while. Many places."
When Mu You was reminded by this, he also remembered this incident, and told the old man about his experience in the elves some time ago, and the encounter with the Spindle Granny.
"Spindle...it's such a nostalgic name." The old man smiled emotionally, then looked at Mu You and said, "If you want to learn how to make wine, you don't have to go so far to the elves, I can also teach you at home. you."
"Oh? Is it possible?" Mu You's eyes lit up. He thought that the skills taught by the elves would probably have some rules not to be passed on to outsiders.
"Hehe, the elves live a loose life without so many rules. Besides, they will not pass on the really important skills, and they will not interfere with the skills that have been taught." The old man said with a smile.
This was an unexpected surprise for Mu You.
In the following time, he didn't practice leveling any more, so he learned how to make wine from the old man at home.
Different from the common distillation method on the earth, the wine making in other worlds uses magic means, which can make the final wine have various magical effects.
Wine brewing can be regarded as a broad and profound life profession, and it is not much easier to learn than potions, and because the brewing time is too long each time, there is no shortcut to repeatedly brush the proficiency with a pocket watch + Fool card, this thing is actually learned, and it is not easy to learn. No less time-consuming than Potions.
But the old man is very happy to teach, and Mu You is also very serious about learning, from the selection of grains, the processing of five grains, to the production of distiller's yeast, wine brewing techniques... every step takes a considerable amount of time, according to the old man himself It is said that she also studied in the forest of elves for two years before she fully mastered the brewing skills.
From early morning to afternoon, the whole day passed, and Mu You only just mastered the step of picking grains in the end, and the other steps are still at the entry level.
Mu Youzhengxue was engrossed, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, turned his head to look, only to find that Lin Xue was standing at the gate of the courtyard, nodding his wrist at him.
Mu You raised his wrist to look at the time, only to realize that it was already past four in the afternoon, and it was more than half an hour before closing time.
"Grandma, I should go." Mu You looked apologetic to the old man.
The old man seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and he didn't stop him. He nodded with a smile, and said, "Remember to go home for dinner on time from now on."
"good."
Then Mu You and Lin Xue transferred back to the snowy field through the teleportation array in the courtyard, and took out all the things in the backpack, including the newly hunted magic fish, the dragon eggs in the breeding bag, and the frogs. A bunch of little tadpoles of Aberdeen, and the goblin who is still in a coma...
After all the things have been transferred to the pet store, the time is almost up.
Mu You guarded the door, and closed the door on time when it arrived at five o'clock, and asked Vivienne to take back the card again.
At this point, all the matters of this trip are over.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, took the card, turned around and immediately took out the phone, turned it on, logged in to the forum, and checked the news.
Now, a full day has passed since the start of the war. If there are no accidents, there should be no shortage of news now.
Facts are just as expected, at this moment, the homepage of the domestic forum has been refreshed by today's full server mission.
Smoothly bulldozed the Arcane Tower of the opposite empire, and performed exceptionally well, dealt a heavy blow to the Wizards Association. This time the domestic full-server mission can be called a complete victory.
The domestic Internet has long been celebrating, especially this time it is an achievement achieved through unity and unity. Most of the people have contributed, which is even more precious.
Those who have won the title of "Tower Breaker" are now star-like existences in the forums and games. A large number of IDs with titles post various posts on the forums, showing off their presence.
Besides, the most popular post is gossip about two mysterious masters.
In this tower push, the main player team and the support team had encountered considerable obstacles. As a result, there were two legendary master supporters in the middle, one was level 25 and the other was level 27. It was the timely joining of these two masters that restored the situation that was about to overthrow, and finally defeated the Wizards Association.
There is no doubt that these two are the biggest heroes in this battle!
The identities of these two mysterious masters are also the focus of gossip. Among them, the level 27 player has been confirmed to be the mysterious individual player who had a bright performance during the Warcraft Invasion Incident in the Yangtze River Basin. captain'.
The other person did not reveal his name, and he had never been seen before, as if he appeared suddenly in this incident. Because it uses a scythe and fights as a girl in a red cloak, whoever first gave it a more appropriate name, "Red Scythe Girl", and then it became so common on the forum.
Phantom Captain, Red Scythe Girl, are already two of the top two most searched terms in domestic forums. Unfortunately, searching for these two names in forums and games shows that they do not exist.
That is to say, 'Captain Ghost' is just the pseudonym of the boss, not the real game id.
There are quite a few people who want to register these two names, but unfortunately, the ids of all players have been determined as early as the day of the public beta when they first went online, and there is no chance to modify them. The Fool's official website has now closed the qualifications for new account applications. After that, new players who have reached the age will not be able to apply for an account on the Fool's official website until New Year's Day every year.
There are many similar IDs appearing as fakes, such as "Captain of Soul", "Captain of Undead", "Hatchet Girl" and so on, but the real party has never appeared.
"Where is the red sickle girl!"
Lin Xue was also checking the news at this time, and naturally saw this trending search. She smiled at Muyou in a weird way, then took out the substitute card she got, entered the game activation, and tried to apply for the "Red Scythe Girl" 'ID.
"I'll try too..."
Mu You's next move is to take out his substitute card, open the game, and activate it.
A prompt popped up in the game immediately.
【Please take an ID for your stand-in identity, within seven characters, and it must not be the same as the existing ID. This ID will be used in the Fool's Game and the Fool's Forum at the same time. Once confirmed, it cannot be modified. 】
Mu You first tried the 'Captain of the Ghost', but a prompt popped up saying 'this ID is already taken'.
Deleted, and entered 'Ghost Captain' again.
The name was not taken and passed without a hitch.
【Confirmation is complete, you have obtained a substitute ID: Ghost Captain. The friends and titles of real and avatars are independent of each other. When making friends or speaking on the forum, you can choose to use your real or avatar ID. 】
After creating the identity, Mu You also took advantage of the heat of the discussion on these two names, ran to the forum on the spot and lost a post.
《I am Captain Ghost. For future transactions related to potions, this account shall prevail. @九乌》
Posted this title in the forum, and posted Jiuyou. Jiuyou's ID in the forum is also called Jiuyou, and looking for him is also a way to verify his identity.
As soon as the post was posted, a reply popped up almost immediately below.
"Red sickle girl: top post!"
Mu You turned to look at Lin Xue.
Lin Xue smiled and made a victory gesture to him: "It seems that both names are still there."
Mu You nodded, everyone's id was determined on the day of the public beta, and new players after that can only apply for an account on New Year's Day every year. No one took these two names on the day of the public beta. It is possible for those who have a substitute card, but those who can get a substitute card are not so boring.
This is also good, once they have authenticated both of their identities, they will have enough right to speak on the forum when needed in the future.
His post has hot words, which is quite eye-catching, and several new replies appeared soon.
"Here comes another hype..."
"This time the high imitation is quite similar, only one word is missing."
"??? Broken tower star?"
"Wow, the post owner and the first floor are getting popular at the same time? Creative, did you two discuss it?"
"!!"
"Damn it, this title blinds me!"
"So... is this the deity?"
…
After a short period of doubt, the subsequent floors soon turned into shock and admiration, because Mu You had already hung up the shining title of "Star of Broken Tower", which was displayed in real time even in the forum.
Other things can be faked, but this unique title cannot be faked.
Then, on the 30th floor below, Jiuyou appeared and replied with 'OK', and attached an emoticon pack of worshiping the great god.
Jiuyou is a verified account, a level 54 forum account, many people have seen it, and it is impossible to fake it.
He responded personally, and now everyone believed it completely. This is the account of the legendary boss!
So this post became popular in an instant, and it was directly pushed to the top of the homepage manually. Countless players poured into the post to worship the great god.
As for Muyou, he also received a large number of friend requests in an instant. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and turned off the option of "accept friend requests" in time, and then he calmed down.
After that, Mu You didn't care about that post anymore, but turned to the international forum to take a look. The Celestial Dynasty is not the only one that started to destroy the tower today. Many other forces saw that the situation was good, and followed suit and started to act.
And these countries that follow suit are actually winning consecutive battles. So far, among the 16 countries that have taken action, 13 arcane towers have been bulldozed! Of course, there are still failures. According to the news on the international forum, the tower pushing operations in North America, Indonesia, and Australia have all been blocked because of the presence of legendary masters.
On the side of the Celestial Dynasty, the corresponding legendary masters showed up to check and balance, and then successfully took down the tower. Other countries did not have such good luck. When encountering legendary masters, they all suffered setbacks on the frontal battlefield and suffered heavy losses.
Especially in North America, it is said that there are four legend-level figures appearing at once!
Mu You saw the situation and knew that it must be that the wizard elders from the imperial capital had all retreated to the corresponding empire in North America. Moreover, it seemed that the Wizard Association wanted to move its headquarters directly to North America.
In other words, what North American players are facing now is the difficulty of pushing towers before the Celestial Dynasty, and it is even higher, because these elders are prepared and will not be as careless as before... Mu You is also in his heart for North American players After a moment of silence, they are basically doomed not to take down this tower.
Then Mu You searched again, but found no information about the fragments of the Sky City map. It seems that those players who got the last blow, or the forces behind them, all chose to keep this news secret.
However, paper can never contain fire, and this news cannot be kept for too long after all. As more and more arcane towers are broken, sooner or later someone will break out...
"By the way, boss, you have a courier, which will be delivered during the day." At this moment, Xiaoya at the door suddenly called out to Mu You.
"express delivery?"
Mu You was taken aback, he didn't seem to have bought anything online recently.
"Who delivered the courier?"
"It's a...well, who is it? I can't remember..." Xiaoya tapped her head, wondering if her memory was prematurely aging.
Mu You walked over suspiciously to have a look.
The so-called express delivery is a cardboard box wrapped with tape. It is a bit exaggerated in size, but it is very light in weight.
After confirming that it didn't look like a bomb, he opened the box and found that it was actually full of golden flowers.
【Sunflower*306: A magical flower that only grows in the hottest places in the astral world. It can store light energy efficiently and be placed in a suitable place to act as a light source. 】
