Chapter 482 Fairy's Tears
【You watch the goblin fairy disappear into a ball of light. 】
【You collected a bottle of 'Lucky Dust' at the place where the fairies and fairies left. 】
It seems that the goblin fairy has recovered, and she started to lose followers when walking normally, very good!
Mu You put away the dust, turned around and searched for 'Bitter Garden' on the forum, but as expected, there was no record.
Then Mu You asked the lamp **** to come out for a consultation, but unfortunately, the lamp **** scratched his head after hearing it. In order to save lamp oil consumption, he spent most of his time sleeping in the desert after coming to the star spirit world, and rarely paid attention to the outside world. He really doesn't know what happened to the goblin clan.
"It's impossible for such an important race to disappear..." Mu You frowned.
After hesitating for a moment, he closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation, connecting his thoughts to the causal line.
He was going to ask those old administrators. These few people have all survived from the last era. Even if the era of Bitter Garden did not appear, there must have been in the last era, right?
Fortunately, several administrators did not refuse to communicate with him, and Mu You's consciousness soon reappeared in that underground space.
Several administrators are busy fixing bugs at this time. After several days and nights of explosion, the disorder of the divine system has been repaired a lot, and the situation of devouring the divine nature will basically not happen again.
"Bitter Garden?" Hearing Mu You's question, several people paused and looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, the mission says this is a city in the sky? Do you know this place?" Mu You asked.
Several people looked at each other in dismay, and the old man at the head smiled wryly: "Of course we know this, because Bitter Garden is the prototype of all sky cities!"
"Huh?" Mu You was taken aback: "The prototype...meaning, the twelve sky cities are all modeled after the Bitter Garden?"
"Of course, otherwise, do you think we can design a miraculous building like Sky City with our mortal means?" the old man laughed.
"Bitter Garden is a city created by the gods when they first created the Astral World. It is also the only city in the Astral World that can permanently float in the sky. The reason why it is floating in the air is to facilitate the fairies Move to all parts of the world at any time, and cast **** statues for all major races."
"At the end of the last era, we found a way to connect with the fairies. After spending a lot of money, we got the blueprints of the Bitter Garden from the fairies. The current twelve sky cities are all based on this The imitation created from the blueprints is inferior to the original Bitter Garden in terms of materials and finish, and many functions have not been fully realized."
"So strictly speaking, only Bitter Garden is the real castle in the sky, and the ones we built can only be regarded as counterfeit products." Others added.
"I see…"
Mu You nodded, and asked again: "Where is the Bitter Garden now?"
"this…"
Several people looked at each other while talking, and they all hesitated.
"To be honest, we don't know about this either." The old man in the lead sighed.
"At that time, the Calamity Era was just around the corner. After we got the drawings of the goblins, we hurriedly withdrew from the Forgotten Land. After that, we didn't return to the Protoss from the Forgotten Land until the end of the Catastrophe Era. At this time, we discovered that Bitter Garden is no longer in the Astral Realm."
"Because there is no protection from the gods, every catastrophe period will reduce the boundaries of the astral world and cause some races to disappear. We thought it was the turn of the goblins to disappear this time, so we didn't care."
"However, we later found a small number of goblins on the mainland, which proves that the goblins have not been exterminated. As for where the goblins and Bitter Garden went, we have not been able to find them since then. All the statues we needed to build the city had already been purchased in advance, and there was no need for the goblins, and we did not send any manpower to investigate."
Mu You frowned: "That is to say, within three hundred years after the end of the last catastrophe, what happened in the goblin clan that led to the disappearance of this clan?"
"It can be understood in this way." The old man nodded, then remembered something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, if you want to find the goblins, you can find them from the imperial capital of the Laner Empire."
"Oh? How do you say it?"
"Because in the last era, the last time we saw the Bitter Garden stayed in the sky above the current capital of Laner." The old man smiled.
"Understood, thank you."
Mu You got the clue he wanted, thanked him, and withdrew his consciousness from the causal line.
"Emperor Capital..."
Mu You opened his eyes in the dark room.
Emperor Capital, plus 'Bitter Garden', the combination of these two names made Mu You immediately think of a place - Bitter Forest!
Bitter Forest is a forbidden area located in Red Rose Academy. It is said to be quite dangerous, and ordinary students are strictly forbidden to get close to it.
Mu You also unlocked the permission to enter this forbidden area after passing the seventh-grade assessment of the college.
Although it is only a small piece of forest, it cannot be compared with the sky city as vast as the mainland, but this is already the place that Mu You knows so far, and it is most likely to be related to the 'Bitter Garden'.
Thinking of this, Mu You logged into the game again, and the character was teleported to Red Rose Academy.
【You appear in the college dormitory. 】
【You see several owls circling outside the window, each with a letter in its mouth. 】
【You go forward and open the window, the owls swarm over and then disperse, leaving only envelopes falling beside you...】
I didn't expect to be bombarded by letters as soon as I came back.
Mu You opened the letters one by one and looked at them, and found that they were all letters from the Potion Club. The president and several vice-presidents were urging him to go to the club as soon as possible, saying that there was something urgent.
"Is there any activity?"
For a while, Mu You couldn't think of what the Potion Society could do in a hurry to find him, so out of curiosity, he decided to take a look first.
【You have come to the Potion Club of the Academy. 】
【You see that the Potion Club is full of people, and the noise is endless, as if going to a market. Outside the gate of the club, a large number of students were also crowded. Under the management of two club members, they lined up in an orderly manner. Everyone held several potion ingredients in their hands, but the contents of the ingredients made you feel a little familiar. 】
【"Hi!"】
【You were about to step forward to ask someone to clarify, when you suddenly felt someone pat on the shoulder. 】
【A familiar voice sounded, and you turned your head to look, and found Krishofya standing behind you. 】
【Fuya: It’s time to wait for you! 】
Fuya spoke, but she didn't speak directly in the game, but sent a message to Mu You on the friend interface. Obviously, she is only manipulating the game characters now.
"What happened?" Mu You hurriedly asked, Fuya is also a member of the Academy's Potion Club, and her level is close to that of a fourth-order potion master, and she has a high status in the club. She should be aware of this situation.
"You don't know? A few hours ago, the wizard association just released the formula of the evolution potion!" Fuya replied.
"Huh? Why?" Mu You was taken aback for a moment. The evolution potion is the most important thing in the development of the Wizarding Association. It has been strictly guarded against it for so many years and has not been leaked. Why would it suddenly announce it now?
"I don't know about that. Anyway, they suddenly released the formula. The entire academy, no, the entire imperial capital is boiling. Everyone is scrambling for the three main ingredients and other auxiliary ingredients. Soaring, now it is no longer available in the market..."
Fuya said: "After the formula was made public, the potion clubs of each college immediately called up people to start the verification. All potion masters of level four and close to level four can practice five times in the club for free, and the club will reimburse the materials. However, if the finished product is refined, it must be owned by the society.”
"Then why didn't you go in and try it?" Mu You asked her.
Seeing Fuya's reply, Mu You suddenly understood.
The wizard association took the initiative to disclose the formula, probably because of the fool.
Now the belief system of the Fools has been launched. With the belief system, players can use their belief to directly break through the bottleneck, and they will no longer be stuck by the evolution potion.
If the Wizarding Association continues to get stuck with the formula, it is instead getting stuck with themselves.
At the same time, the Fools have just repelled the giant just now, and they have almost zero losses. This strength probably surprised the Wizards Association quite a bit.
If the Fool now wants to subvert the Wizarding Association, it is already a breeze. Obviously, the Wizarding Association is really scared this time. They would rather disclose the formula of the evolution potion, and also want to stimulate the strength of the human race as much as possible, and reduce the relationship with the Fool. gap.
Wanted to understand the reason, but Mu You felt a little funny. The wizard associations were so nervous. However, the eyes of human beings have already left the three-acre land of the astral world, and looked at the wider sea of stars.
Most of the players are already actively preparing for Gao Tian, how can they have time to play house with them? This wave of operations by the Wizarding Association is purely groundless.
"Aren't you going to try it? Free materials!" Fuya bewitched again at this time.
"Cough, I don't need this..."
Mu You declined resolutely, the evolution potion was almost piled up in his bag, he really didn't lack this thing.
What's more, the purpose of the association is to cultivate the proficiency of its members. It is said that the materials are free, and the finished products will be confiscated from the association. Mu You has already passed the stage where he needs to accumulate proficiency. Almost 100%, he is refining medicine here, which is tantamount to helping the association make money for free.
"You came just in time, do you have time now? If so, take me to the Bitter Forest." Mu You turned around and asked Fu Ya.
He has never entered the Bitter Forest, so it is best to find someone who is familiar with the environment to go with him, and Fuya is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
"Bitter Forest? Why are you going to that ghostly place?" Fuya was stunned.
"It's a long story, but I want to go inside to find something, and I need someone to lead the way." Mu You didn't have time to elaborate.
"in a hurry?"
"Quite urgent!"
"Okay...then you come with me." Seeing that Mu You was in a hurry, Fuya didn't ask any further questions, and immediately sent him a team invitation.
After Mu You agreed, she went back to the dormitory to get some props and medicines. After confirming that everything was ready, she brought Mu You to a woodland in the back mountain.
【You and Fuya appeared before the Bitter Forest. 】
[What is presented in front of you is a dark and deep dense forest, in which dense mist is diffused. From a distance, every dead tree in the forest seems to have a crying human face, baring its teeth and claws in the dark night , looks eerie and weird...]
Mu You is almost immune to this kind of text that deliberately exaggerates the weird atmosphere. Compared with the oppressive force of the early Black Forest, what is this small forest? What's more, his strength is no longer the same as before.
【You and Fuya stepped into the forest without fear. 】
【Stepping on the soft ground in the forest, you can faintly smell a strange floral fragrance from the tip of your nose, which is sweet but also slightly bitter. 】
【You suddenly see a toad-shaped monster in front of you, charging towards you with its **** mouth wide open. 】
【You switched the skin of the mecha, and raised the barrels of both hands towards the monster. 】
"Hey wait!"
【Before you opened fire, Fuya stopped you first. 】
【You stopped for a while, and saw the monster flash past the two of you until it disappeared without affecting you in any way. 】
【After the monster disappeared, Fuya stepped forward, took out her magic wand, aimed it at the bushes in front, and released the 'Revealing It'! 】
【The scene of the shrubs in front of you suddenly changed rapidly. A road opened up in the dense forest, and a cluster of purple mushrooms growing on the side of the road was exposed, but before you approached, the cluster of mushrooms burrowed into the ground and disappeared. 】
"This kind of mushroom is called 'psychedelic fungus'. It can create illusions. It is everywhere in the Bitter Forest, so what you see here is often not real." Fuya sent an explanation to Mu You in time: "You Novices will definitely not get used to it when they first come in, just follow me, I will let you hit you and then hit you..."
Fuya looks like an old fritters leading the way for Mengxin.
Unfortunately, before she finished speaking, Mu You had already raised two guns in the game, pointing at the top of her head, two strings of flames came out.
[While Fuya was in a daze, you used your master-level marksmanship in human body drawing, showing off a string of fire lines around her body, and as the last shot fell, there was a scream of an animal behind Fuya, and a The squirrel with sharp teeth and claws fell to the ground covered in blood, without a sound. 】
【You killed the long-toothed squirrel, experience +12, lifespan +1, get squirrel fluff*1, bitter pollen*1. 】
"How do you know this is only true?" After a few seconds of silence, Fuya's news came quickly.
"I said it was intuition, do you believe it?" Mu You replied.
"..."
Fuya didn't reply, she had already seen that Mu You must have the means to distinguish the real from the fake, otherwise how could he have acted so decisively and neatly.
It was only at this time that she remembered that the person in front of her had just killed five giants, and she was no longer at the same level as her. It was too much for such a person to think of guiding him.
While Fuya was still feeling melancholy, Mu You had already manipulated the characters to pick up the spoils.
Needless to say, the tail is a very common drop, but the key is another.
"What is this?" Mu You looked at the 'Bitter Pollen' mentioned in the text. This was the first drop he had seen, and the Omniscient Crystal didn't give any special instructions.
"Bitter pollen, a kind of potion material, is a special product of this forest, but it is not a real flower, because no one knows where it comes from, let alone what it looks like in its body. In short, in this forest After all creatures die, they will drop at least one piece of bitter pollen, which is also the origin of the name 'Bitter Forest'." Fuya explained.
"Oh? What can this thing do?"
"Can do, chocolate..."
"Chocolate?" Mu You's face was weird when he heard it, he asked what he could do, he was asking what kind of potion he could make, but the other party answered him with a kind of food, and he was very confused.
"Don't underestimate chocolate, hey! This kind of pollen can make moving magic chocolate. Although the taste is bitter, it has a strange sweetness. The chocolate made from the fairy's tears can help people increase their chances of finding true love! In a sense, it is more precious than potion."
"So every year around Valentine's Day, a large number of students flood into the Forbidden Forest to hunt and collect pollen, and make chocolates for their sweethearts. This has become a regular event in the imperial capital, called 'Bitter Valentine's Day', during which even Wizards from other places will also rush over to collect pollen!"
"That's why every year around Valentine's Day, this place is the busiest place, but it is deserted at other times."
【Fuya, with a longing expression, introduced to you some of the grand occasions of 'Bitter Valentine's Day' over the years. 】
Mu You was not interested in the gossip of these students, but he noticed a word in Fuya's words: the fairy of love!
The purpose of his trip is to find the 'Fairy'. Could it be that the Bitter Garden is really here?
"You said that you have a large number of students coming in every year, so has any of you ever encountered a goblin here?" Mu You sent a message to Fuya.
"Fairy? No..." Fuya was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The fairy of love is just a legend, how could it be true?"
"Not one?" Mu You still didn't give up.
"Really not." Fuya said firmly: "Fairy is a rare creature that represents luck. It is said that even if you look at a goblin from a distance, you can maintain good luck for a long time. If a goblin appeared here, it would have exploded. How can it be as deserted as it is now?"
