Rescue the Muse
γCelestial Snake Starγ
"The Heavenly Snake Hall Library Pavilion is so big, when will it be found?" Cassius sat down in a chair a little tired, and carefully flipped a page.
"Let's look again. After all... Rey had already taken the relatively dangerous task on his own. Blake put a book back in its place, his fingertips running over the dusty spines.
"I'm so bad," Cassius said, closing the book in his hand, "I can't help anything." β
Blake's movements paused. He turned to Cassius and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't think so."
"Ugh."
ββ¦ Cassius," Blake's hand on his shoulder clenched slightly. "Don't let that unnecessary stuff get in your way."
Cassius nodded, reached out and patted the back of Blake's hand to signal that he was okay, stood up and put the book back in his hand. His gaze swept over an old book with a vague title, and he carefully pulled it out of the shelf and placed it on the table.
"It's a phantom crystal!" Cassius beckoned Blake to come over.
Blackcra opened a stool and sat on the edge of the table, looking at the illustrations on the page, and frowned, "Familiar." β
"Phantom crystal, it can store the soul or part of the soul of an elf, and it can also store the power of that elf at the same time......" Cassius pinched his chin, "So...... If the body dies, it can continue to live in this way. β
"That's a good idea. But what does Shen Yuan want this thing for? Blake's fingertips tapped on the tabletop.
"It's certainly not a good thing. But where are you going to find it......" Cassius narrowed, resting his cheek with one hand.
"There are only three elves in the entire universe who know where the Phantom Light Crystal is." Blake pinched his chin, "Two of them are no longer in this world. β
"Ah, you mean......" Cassius looked at him, "only the three young masters of the Serpent know where it is, and now ......" he pursed his lips. "How do you find that? Even if you go to the elf village to ask, it's useless, no other elves know......"
"Blake, Cassius, hear it, please answer."
"Yes." "Yes."
The communicator was the captain's voice. "How's your Phantom Crystal looking? Gaia and I have already got our hands on the third soul shard. β
"We ......"
"No clue." Blake replied bluntly.
"Hey! Blake, you're not efficient! Gaia let out a playful laugh.
"Only the Muse knows where the Phantom Crystal is." Cassius paused, "We've been looking for so long, and we've only found a book that records the appearance and function of the Phantom Crystal, without any location information. It's harder to find than to climb to the sky. β
"You still need to spend time on the road back to Bigstar from the Celestial Snake Star, why don't you come back first, and then we can think of another way." Rey said softly, "Don't be too discouraged, there's always a way." β
"That's all there is to it."
β¦β¦
γBeagle Starγ
"There's only one hour left." Rey shoved the video communicator onto the table, "Or ...... Discuss with Shen Yuan again? β
"She won't agree." Blake said lightly.
Cassius held his cheek with one hand and looked at the purple flame orb burning on Blake's shoulder, and tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Blake, the color of the Phantom Crystal is very similar to your Daredevil Orb."
Blake controlled a ball and floated to the middle of the table, frowning. "There's a way."
β¦β¦
"I hope you brought something." Shen Yuan pressed his sword against the muse's neck. "-just the two of you?"
The muse's sweat and blood slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the blade, emitting an eerie glow along with the reflective blade.
"It's normal to steal something from pirates, it's okay to get hurt," Rey said lightly, "Cassius stayed there to heal, and I let Blake watch him." Rey raised his hand and pressed the communicator on his cheek and whispered, "Plan one." β
Muse glanced up at his teammates and lowered his head again.
"Come here yourself." Shen Yuan said word by word, staring at Rey's green eyes.
"Okay." Rey gestured for Gaia to back off, and slowly approached the Yin Death Organization with a metal ball and a small box.
"What do I want?" Shen Yuan raised his head and squinted at him.
"Three soul fragments." Rey opened the box, and the three fragments emitted a purple glow of different hues. After a brief public demonstration, Rey closed the box.
Shen Yuan squinted.
Rey flipped the metal ball in his hand, "Phantom crystal is in this ball." As he spoke, he pinched both sides of the ball and twisted it slightly, revealing a dazzling lilac glow in the gap.
Shen Yuan put away his sword, and the corners of his lips were hooked to reveal a small fang. The icy blue blood made her face slightly blue, and under the dark clouds of the Sky Snake Star, she exuded a unique cold aura.
Rey walked five steps away from the abyss and threw two things at her.
Shen Yuan caught it with both hands.
Rey put his hands behind his back and gestured.
When Mo Hotatsu, who was ambushed nearby, raised his gun and pointed it at the muse, a blue light flew out.
"Hey," Cassius squatted on a tree behind Shen Yuan, "Big Master, what do you mean by your sister?" β
Shen Yuan turned around suddenly, "What? β
Rey took the opportunity to pull the muse on his back, and jumped a few steps back to distance himself from Shen Yuan.
Cassius grabbed Mo Ying's back collar and lifted her whole body, and as soon as he let go, Yin Yan's second master began to move in free fall.
Shen Yuan raised his hands to take her in his arms, and Cassius disappeared behind the tree in a flash.
Shen Yuan put Mo Ying down, bent two fingers and blew a whistle.
Golems and black spirits poured out from all directions.
Rey handed the muse to Blake, who had been waiting at the fixed location for a long time, "Take her out of here, and we'll stop those things." β
An Daredevil ball flew in from a distance and landed on Blake's shoulder.
"It seems that Shen Yuan has found out." Cassius shrugged.
"After I break off with Cassius, you take the Muse away first." Rey spread his fingers and unleashed a bolt of lightning that blew away the two puppet robots that had just approached. "Enable Plan 2."
Several people made eye contact and went their separate ways.
Rey spread his Thor's wings, flapped his wings violently, and was suspended in mid-air. Cassius stood next to him and flicked his wrist.
β¦β¦
Blake and Gaia escorted Muse back to the small room, where they carefully bandaged her injuries and assisted in some of the internal injuries. When Rey and Cassius returned, the muse was already strong enough to walk.
"Muse," Gaia scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, "... Keeping you waiting. β
The muse smiled, "It's fine." β
"We've got it sorted out over there." Rey clapped his hands, "Muse, what happened while you were on your side?" Do you know where the dust is? β
The muse's gaze darkened, "That day...... Almost all members of the Yin Death Organization were dispatched, cooperating with pirates, puppets, and a large number of dark souls to storm the Thunder Guardian Bureau. β
"They seemed to see something." Muse frowned, "I counted the time, and it was about a while after Blake and Cassius arrived at Mads, they came. β
"The pirates' data should be interconnected, they probably got the news that the four of us went to Beta and Maz respectively, and the rear is empty." Rey pondered for a moment, "But, why did you suddenly think of storming the Guardianship?" β
"It seems that the goal of their trip is for that phantom crystal." The muse pouted, "They're coming for me." As for in the dust... I don't know where he was taken. β
Several people looked at each other a few times.
"So, what exactly is that phantom crystal?" Cassius spread his hands.
Muse pinched the pink pendant around his neck, "That's my pendant." β
