Chapter 242 Searching for the Lost Sky City
A library that turns people into ghosts...
Mu You guessed how this quiet girl died.
【Ms. Jing Mo finished answering your question, read the book just now, and signaled you to take care of yourself and find her cat if you have anything to do. 】
Mu You didn't leave in a hurry. Although the shop was deserted, it was still a normal bookstore. He walked around the shop, but it was a pity that most of the books here were popular science, autobiography, history of magic, geography, and literature, and none of them were too precious. The book is for sale, and it’s okay to check the knowledge once in a while, but it’s not worth buying.
But Mu You finally bought one thing.
[Automatic pathfinding letter: a letter with paper wings, write a sufficiently clear name or identity on the envelope, and then it will automatically fly to the target's location to deliver the letter, only for targets who have opened a magic mailbox in the same city, one-time thing. Price: 1 year lifespan. 】
One year of life, converted to an envelope of more than 8,000 yuan!
Mu You clicked his lips, it's really expensive.
No wonder most wizards keep owls on hand. The owl is equivalent to an unlimited number of wayfinding letters, and it can also send letters across cities, which is extremely practical.
But there is no way, Muyou has no owls available now, let alone registered in the city, so he can only use this high-end gadget to make do with it.
【You paid Maolizi for 1 year of life. 】
【You get ‘Automatic Pathfinding Letter*1’. 】
After purchasing, Mu You clicked on the wayfinding letter and took a look. It was an ordinary white envelope with paper wings on the left and right sides of the cover, and blank letter paper inside.
Taking out the letter paper, Mu You found a quill, and wrote the content of the Celestial Language on the paper: "Your cat is in my hands. If you want your cat, come to the Chengdong Reservoir alone at 8 o'clock in the morning. Don't tell others. people."
After finishing writing, Mu You put the letter paper back into the envelope, and looked back at Coke: "Coke, what is your master's full name?"
At this time, Coke was lying on the bed with his feet up, his eyes turned white, and he was already half asleep. Hearing this, he opened his eyes in a daze: "Master? What master?"
It took a few seconds before it suddenly woke up, and jumped off the bed in an instant: "Yes, master, I still have a master, meow!"
"Nonsense." Mu You rolled his eyes.
"Mu You, did you find my master?" Coke asked excitedly.
"Not yet, I'm looking for it, why don't you write a letter to your master." Mu You shook the envelope in his hand.
"Oh, my master's name is Chrissy Fuya, who belongs to the Swinburne family of magic, the eldest daughter of Earl Joseph, a seventh-year student of Red Rose Academy, and a talented witch who has won three Red Rose Stars... Don't write Wrong meow." Coke hurriedly jumped onto the table, and supervised Mu You to write down its owner's name completely.
After writing the name, Mu You sent the envelope into the game, and selected 'Input Magic Power'.
【You have activated the pathfinding letter, and the target has been successfully locked. 】
【The envelope automatically took off and flew in the direction of Red Rose Academy. The letter is being delivered, it is expected to arrive in twenty minutes...]
After delivering the letter, Mu You took the submarine to the Chengdong Reservoir, passed through the teleportation array under the reservoir, and returned to the grandmother.
Immediately, he quit the game and went to a shopping website to order a batch of things for the elderly.
Electrical appliances cannot be used in the astral world, and the rules of the two worlds are different. Drugs and health care products cannot be eaten indiscriminately. The old lady just looks old, but her body is much healthier than many young people on the earth.
So in the end, Mu You only picked some household items that don’t use electricity, such as beds, shoes, hats, and kitchen utensils.
Nothing to say all night.
Early the next morning, Mu You was woken up again by Lu Yao's phone call.
Go downstairs and look, Lu Yao, still dressed as a witch apprentice, has appeared at the door of the store.
"You can choose three of these."
Mu You yawned, and took out five pieces of sophisticated equipment that were not needed in the ring.
"so much!"
Lu Yao opened her mouth wide in surprise, and looked at him: "Then do you take action on the rest?"
"Well, wait a minute, we won't be out for now..."
Mu You shook his head. Now he has a lot of excellent equipment idle, but he still wants to wait to see when the synthesis furnace can be repaired, and then synthesize these idle equipment into advanced equipment.
"All right…"
Looking at what he meant, Lu Yao guessed that he had a way to continue upgrading his equipment, so he didn't force it, and chose three that were useful to her and put them away.
"Did you read the new announcement in the early morning?" Before leaving, Lu Yao asked suddenly.
"Announcement?" Mu You was taken aback, he had slept soundly all night, and just woke up, he didn't know anything yet.
"Let's go to the game and have a look. A new announcement was made in the game just after four o'clock, and the forum is full of noise." Lu Yao said.
"Oh? Let me see..."
After watching Lu Yao leave, Mu You went to brush his teeth and wash his face, turned on his phone by the way, and clicked into the game to take a look.
Sure enough, just after going online, several consecutive highlighted texts popped up.
【As of 4:00, the number of arcane towers destroyed: 19/36. Remaining time limit: 4 days, 20 hours and 03 minutes. 】
【Since the time-limited mission 'Destroy the Arcane Tower' has completed more than 50% of the progress, and the remaining time limit is less than seven days, the incentive support condition is triggered. 】
【Support mission release: Find the lost city in the sky. 】
【Task object: All fools. 】
【Task time limit: unlimited. 】
【Mission Objective: How can the descendants of the Fool wander in the boundaries of other races for a long time? Forgotten and homeless people, please go to find the hometown where the ancestors of the fool once lived, and build the fool's own city on the twelve ancient sky cities! 】
【Mission Description: The map depicting the location of the Sky City is divided into nine map fragments, 12 cities, and a total of 108 map fragments. Among them, 36 pieces are hidden in the reward for destroying the "last blow" of the arcane tower, and the remaining fragments are scattered all over the star spirit world. Collect all the fragments to piece together a complete map, and you can find the location of the city in the sky. 】
【Map fragment rules:
1. Collect three fragments of the same map, and the contents of the map will be displayed.
Second, when all the nine fragments of a certain map fall into the hands of the fool, arrows will appear on the back of the nine fragments, pointing to the direction of the other nearest fragments of the map (in the same plane).
Third, map fragments cannot be bound. When the map fragment carrier is attacked by other fools, the level suppression is invalid.
4, when the nine fragments gather in one place (the distance between each other is not more than 100 kilometers), and the 'rule five' is satisfied, the entrance of the city in the sky will be opened.
5. The castle in the sky will be opened in the order of dawn, dawn, dawn, sunrise, rising sun, scorching sun, sunset, dusk, twilight, starlight, dark night, and eternal night. Only after the previous city has a castellan, the next castle in the sky The entrance will be opened.
Sixth, the ownerless city in the sky, only fools and their familiars can enter. 】
【Task Reward: The first fool who touches the heritage crystal in the center of the Sky City will automatically become the first City Lord of the Sky City with a term of one year. The lord has the right to appoint the deputy lord of the city and other positions. Including the city lord, each person can only hold one position at a time. 】
"Support mission..."
Mu You froze in brushing his teeth.
He guessed right, the matter of the map fragments really can't be hidden for too long.
It doesn’t even need other players to break the news, the game official announced this information by itself, and it’s still in the form of a full server mission...
These lines of text contain a huge amount of information. After Mu You washed up quickly, he went back and read the task several times, and came to some conclusions.
First of all, the reward for this new mission, a word that all players can't refuse: Santo!
The first person to find the castle in the sky will become the master of the castle!
The text does not detail the rights of the city lord, but I also know that, as there are only twelve positions for billions of players, this right must be amazing!
The city lord can appoint deputy city lords and other positions. These positions are definitely beneficial, but each person is limited to only one position... In other words, if you become the city lord of a city, you don’t have to think about other cities anymore. There may be cases where multiple castellan are all held by the same person.
After the rewards, the most important thing is the six fragment rules.
Article 1: After collecting all three fragments, the contents of the map will be displayed. Mu You already knows this.
The second and third rules below seem to be rules that encourage fragment owners to compete with each other.
The second is that when all fragments of the same map appear, each fragment can point out the direction of other fragments. To put it bluntly, it is blatantly seducing the fragment owner to find and **** other people's fragments.
However, a parenthesis condition is added to this article, and the arrow pointing to it is limited to the same plane...
That is to say, the fragments on the earth can only point to other fragments located on the earth, and the fragments of the astral world can only guide within the scope of the astral world.
The astral world is fine, the traffic is not smooth, and there are barriers everywhere, and monsters are rampant. With only a vague direction to guide, it is very difficult to find other fragment owners in the huge astral world.
But on the globalized earth, because the transportation is too convenient and the information is too developed, as long as one fragment is in hand, it is easy to locate the location of other fragment owners in a short time.
Therefore, with the restriction of this rule, the two fragments of Muyou can no longer be kept on the body in the future. They need to be stored in the game as much as possible, otherwise they may be found at any time.
It cannot be bound, which means that the fragments can be exploded by killing, and the fragment owner has no level suppression when attacked by other fools, which is equivalent to a kind of protection for the fragment owner, preventing those weak fragment carriers from being attacked by expert players Take it easy.
At the same time, if two fragment carriers attack each other, there is no equal-level suppression between each other, which greatly reduces the combat power gap between low-level players and high-level players, and low-level players also have the opportunity to counter-kill high-level players to grab fragments.
If the second point is just to seduce the players to compete with each other, these three points are almost written on the face of 'you guys hurry up'.
The remaining four, five or six.
There is nothing to say about the sixth article. Only fools can enter the inactive sky city. This is to ensure that the first city master must be obtained by fools, so as not to fall into the hands of other people.
Articles 4 and 5 are all about the rules for opening the entrance to Sky City.
To enter the Sky City, it is not enough to collect three map fragments. You also need to gather the owners of the nine fragments in one place to open the entrance.
At the same time, there is a sequence of opening between cities. The opening of the previous one must be completed, and the next one can only be opened after having a city owner.
The city ranked first is the City of Dawn where Mu You already has two fragments!
In other words, only after the battle for the city lord of the city of dawn is over, can the next battle for the city of dawn begin, and then go down to dawn, sunrise... The twelve cities will be successively extended until all cities have a city lord. Even if the mission is over.
"It seems to be urgent..."
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. He originally wanted to slowly search for information and fragments of Dawn City, but when the task was announced, Dawn City was the first to bear the brunt.
Mu You took out two map fragments and looked at them.
At this moment, the two fragments are still wrapped in black mist, and there are no arrows displayed, which means that all nine fragments of Dawn City have not been found yet.
But this is only temporary. As the leader of all sky cities, the battle for Dawn City is imminent. Even if he wants to slow down, others will definitely collect the fragments of Dawn City as quickly as possible. Nine fragments are possible at any time Alignment, the scramble for fragments may start at any time.
Mu You saved the fragments back into the game, then exited the game, and switched to the forum to have a look.
Sure enough, the forum was already arguing about the announcement just now.
"All the map fragments are collected at a high price. If you intend to chat privately, the reward will definitely satisfy you!"
"Hey, I finally broke the tower. I just prepared to enjoy the game with salted fish for a few days, and I want to grab the city lord again!"
"Damn it, the last blow to break the tower actually rewards such an important thing. If you don't say it earlier, I'll go grab one and get it back!"
"Forget it all, what does grabbing the city lord have to do with ordinary players? It's a stage where big bosses compete, ordinary people get involved, and they don't know how they died..."
"I don't have any fragments, so I just want to ask the bosses who have fragments if they need any leg hair? I'm going bankrupt to support it, as long as you give me the position of deputy city lord..."
"I have a shard of the Twilight City. I got it by chance when I was exploring a certain secret realm a few days ago. I knew I was powerless to compete with the top bosses, so I made a move. If you want a private chat, you are the one."
After some browsing, Mu You unexpectedly soon saw a post with fragments, and hurriedly clicked in to take a look.
"Really or fake? The poster really has debris? Could it be a fishing post?"
"Can you post a picture, I just want to see what the map fragments look like?"
"I sincerely ask, in what secret realm did the host find the fragment?"
…
This post was really popular, and the number of replies soared to hundreds in an instant.
Mu You scrolled down, and on the 100th floor below, the post owner appeared and posted a blurry photo, comparable to the ancient image quality of a mosaic, making people extremely suspicious of its authenticity.
However, this picture was not clearly visible to others, but Mu You recognized it at a glance. It was indeed a fragment of a map, but it was not clear because of the black fog on the surface. It seems that this is really not a fishing post.
After going down dozens of floors, the post owner reappeared and announced the source of his fragments: they were found in a secret realm near Twilight City!
As a result, this reply made everyone blow up.
This Twilight City is not the Twilight City. The city of dusk is the hometown of the fool, and it has disappeared.
Twilight City is a seaside city on the border of the Laner Empire, the second largest pass into the empire from the waterway, and Mu You drove the Ghost before passing there.
"You found the fragments of the Twilight City in the Twilight City? What a coincidence?"
"Damn, they're all called Dusk. Is there a connection between these two cities?"
"Could it be that the Twilight City is hidden near the Twilight City? So its map fragments are also distributed nearby?"
"Probably!"
"Wait a minute, in this case, there are many cities with similar names, such as Lie Sun City and Lie Sun City, Sunset City and Sunset City..."
"There is also the Undercity located underground, does it correspond to the City of Dark Night or the City of Eternal Night..."
"That is to say, if you go around these cities, it is possible to find the fragments corresponding to the ancient city?"
"maybe…"
…
Immediately following the post there was a debate about this issue.
"Does the sky city correspond to the existing cities in the astral world..."
Mu You touched his chin.
Don't say it, it's really possible!
He is not sure about other things, but the Undercity, which is the territory of the dark elves, and their leader, the Dark Queen, just happens to have a fragment of the City of Eternal Night in her hand...
From this point of view, exploring around cities with similar names, there is indeed a chance to find the corresponding map fragments!
But in this way, where does Dawn City correspond to?
Mu You recalled that among the cities in the astral world he currently knows, there seems to be no city that can be linked with the name Liming...
"It seems that the question I asked last night was really correct..."
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. Last night he asked Jing Mo Niang about Sky City information. Next, as long as he can enter the library she mentioned, he will have a chance to get information about Dawn City.
When he finds the location of Dawn City, he can explore the map fragments nearby. As long as he finds another fragment, he can open the map...
There is no rush for this.
Mu You returned to the forum, and checked the international section.
In domestic forums, it is because the tower has been rolled out, so everyone can discuss the big melon in Sky City with peace of mind, while in the international forum, the hot topic is still the tower push.
It’s no wonder that this new mission is called ‘Support Mission’. As soon as this mission was announced, the progress of pushing towers that had been somewhat stagnant in various countries began to increase rapidly again!
With the attraction of the reward 'Map Fragments', many expert players who have finished their missions are willing to go to other countries to help push towers, and try to grab map fragments while fighting for rewards.
Inspired by missions, players from various countries seem to have achieved a global alliance for the first time.
And in this kind of global cooperation, the progress of pushing towers everywhere is progressing like a rainbow. In just three hours since the task was released, two more towers have been flattened, and there are still seven towers left. Durability has been reduced to below 50%.
According to this progress, within today, it is estimated that apart from Australia, Indonesia, North America and other arcane towers that are under the care of the Wizarding Association, other towers will have a chance to be pushed down.
And now those countries where legendary masters have appeared are also crazy about "Captain Ghost" and "Red Scythe Girl", asking for help from the two legendary masters.
Especially the North American players, one of the spokespersons of the big powers, posted more than a dozen posts in a row, publicly shouting "Captain Ghost", hoping that he can go to North America to help push down the tower. , Guaranteed to give him the final blow.
Mu You looked at the background, and sure enough, he has received 999+ private messages, all of which are inviting him to push the tower, and there are IDs from all over the world.
After blocking non-friends, only private messages from Jiuyou remained in the mailbox.
Jiuyou’s news was similar. They politely asked him if he had any intention of making a move. As many as 20 foreign forces sent an emergency request to the Celestial Dynasty, hoping to arrange for two Legendary bosses to make a move, and the rewards can be mentioned at will.
Looking at Jiuyou's private message, Mu You shook his head helplessly.
He wants to make a move, and then go to another arcane tower to take a final blow to get the fragments. With the time pocket watch, he has a great chance to collect the fragments of Dawn City directly.
It's a pity that he can't show up at all.
One is that he is going to help other countries, so he can only pass through other people's doors, which means that he has to expose his identity in front of people, which is absolutely impossible for Mu You to agree.
Besides, without the support of other mystics, even if Vivienne's body is revived again, it will not be able to reach a high level. Not to mention the legendary elders who can't defeat the Wizards Association, it will expose their details, and the gain outweighs the loss.
Mu You replied to Jiuyou directly, and declined all invitations.
After closing the forum, Mu You looked at the time, it was 7:30 in the morning, and he said that there was an appointment at 8:00 in the game...
Switching back to the game, Mu You had breakfast at the grandmother's house.
After eating a bowl of multicolored rice porridge, his mobility returned to full capacity. After bidding farewell to grandma, Mu You manipulated the characters back to the imperial capital.
【...You swam all the way from under the reservoir to the shore, and you didn’t show up in a hurry. You hid in the distance, peeped out through the cover of the embankment and looked out. 】
【You saw a long-haired girl in the uniform of the Magic Academy by the cobblestone river of the reservoir embankment, pacing anxiously on the bank. 】
