Chapter 158: Technology in the Wizarding World
"Give it back! That's my stuff! ”
Mu You ran in front, and when he turned around, he saw the goblin chasing after him with red eyes, as if he was chasing and killing the enemies of his whole family.
It was almost impossible for a single diminutive goblin to catch up with him.
Unexpectedly, after chasing a few steps, the goblin's figure suddenly became bulging, and soon it swelled into a round ball, and its mouth made a chirping sound, rolling on the ground at a high speed, and approached him in the blink of an eye.
"Wait a minute, how does this picture feel familiar?"
Mu You's eyelids jumped, and he immediately recalled the text description of being attacked by the self-exploding fish countless times in the game.
Before he had time to think about it, he subconsciously reached into his pocket and pressed it towards his pocket watch.
And almost at the same time as the pocket watch button was pressed, the goblin also rolled behind him, and sure enough, it launched a self-explosion on the spot, and its whole body exploded into countless flames.
In the next moment, time passed, back to five seconds ago.
"Gan, are all otherworldly creatures popular to explode......" Mu You scolded secretly and continued to run.
“…… That's my stuff! ”
A familiar shrill cry sounded, and Mu You quietly held his wand in his sleeve while observing behind him with his peripheral vision.
Sure enough, the goblin turned into a ball and rolled again.
However, Mu You was prepared this time, and when he saw that the other party was approaching within one meter, and at the moment when he was about to explode, he launched the phantom shift.
"Boom!"
Violent explosions and firelight enveloped the street below, and the goblin's body disappeared without a trace in the explosion.
At this time, Mu You had already appeared on a roof not far away.
Looking at the deserted dark streets below, the goblin did not come back to life nearby, it was clear that it had bound up a dwelling in the city, and would teleport directly back to the house when it died.
Mu You didn't stay around, this guy would definitely go to move the rescuers after he went back, he had to sneak away while no one found out.
Running out for a while, when passing a stone bridge, Mu You jumped directly into the river below, followed the underground river, circled the city for more than an hour, and finally went ashore from the other end of the city.
At this time, the shrill sirens were already sounding throughout the city.
This incident was very serious, and some people dared to rob the city in an open and honest manner, and they simply did not take the city security army seriously.
A large number of men dressed as guards were speeding through the city with weapons in their hands, each with a brand new wanted warrant in their hands.
With his eyesight, Mu You could see clearly from a distance, and on the wanted notice was a fisherman with a big beard, a square face, and extremely thick eyebrows, whose features were quite easy to identify.
Who is this?
Mu You glanced at his reflection in the water, anyway, it wasn't him.
Of course, he still changed the outfit on his body, put the bamboo basket into his backpack, and then deliberately found a passing city guard, shook it a few times in front of the other party, and pretended to pass by by accidentally.
As a result, the man just gave him a casual glance and immediately ran away, ignoring him at all.
Mu You is completely relieved now, and he is more and more satisfied with the prop of thousands of people and thousands of faces.
This prop doesn't look strong in the description, but the actual effect is really great, perfect immunity wanted, it's a must-have artifact for killing people and goods!
Glancing at his watch, the time had come to two o'clock in the morning, Mu You found a place where no one was around, and took out the things he had just snatched from the goblin.
A map, a blood pact scroll, a beetle, a punch stone.
He was already familiar with the Blood Pact Scroll and the Punch Stone, so he just threw it into his backpack and left it alone.
Mu You first opened the map and looked at it.
On the map is an old and blurred chart, in which a triangle is drawn with a dotted line, which is obviously the 'devil's sea' in the mouth of the goblin, and somewhere to the right in the center of the triangle, a cross is made, which is also the only mark on the whole map, if nothing else, this should be the wreck of the Ghost.
Looking further into the corner of the map, around the perimeter of this triangular sea, several rudimentary pieces of land are faintly revealed, and some place names are marked on them.
And the closest place to the Devil's Sea, called Haim City, is also a seaside city belonging to the Ranel Empire.
After confirming the destination, Mu You put away the map, took the beetle and looked at it.
It turns out that this is not a real creature, but a mechanical bug!
According to the goblin at the time, this thing was the latest alchemical product.
Alchemy is similar to potions, and it is also one of the popular skills in the astral realm, which is biased towards the academic schools of mechanical and magical engineering, such as muskets and gunpowder in the astral realm, most magic lamps, magic equipment, some mechanical alchemy creatures, etc., all belong to the application of alchemy.
And the goblin race is a genius in this regard, and it is said that in the south of the astral spirit realm, in the gathering place of goblins, there is a professional goblin laboratory, specializing in gunpowder and alchemical biology.
In fact, the technological content of many tools in this world is not weak, equivalent to the earth at the beginning of the 18th century, and many products have an effect that is difficult to match with earth technology with the blessing of magic.
To say that the only thing they are lagging behind is probably because of the availability of clean and efficient energy such as magic, so the astral spirit realm has not developed the branch of science and technology of 'electricity', so that there is a blank in the electric age and the information age, resulting in the fact that the technology seems to be relatively backward.
Getting back to business, Mu You looked at the beetle in his hand, which was only the size of a fingernail.
This little thing is a product of alchemy, and its function is to release it as a bug, because it looks like an ordinary bug on the outside, and it is difficult to be detected, so it is very suitable for intelligence.
Mu You really needed information now, and at this time, he decisively entered the magic power and activated the beetle.
With the influx of magic power, Mu You suddenly felt that there was some kind of connection between his mind and the beetle.
As soon as he let go, the beetle fell to the ground, crawled out, circled the nearby streets, and finally found a tavern that was still brightly lit in the middle of the night, climbed along the wall to the windowsill, hid in a flower pot, and buried itself in the soil.
And as the beetle took place, Mu You's ears immediately sounded a messy sound from the various diners in the hotel.
The news these people talk about is very mixed, and they are chattering all over the world. Mu You patiently discerned, for an outsider like him who was not familiar with the place, every message was useful.
After listening to it for about half an hour, Mu You grasped an important piece of news: in the central square of Sunset City, under the wizard tower, there is a teleportation array, and as long as you pay, you can go directly to all parts of the empire!
It's so much easier to have a teleportation array!
Mu You immediately took the beetle back and walked in the direction of the city center.
Staying on might have a chance to hear more valuable information, but he didn't have much time this time, 24 hours, and almost five hours had passed, and he didn't have much time to waste on this inefficient intelligence search.
According to what those drinkers said, the teleportation array was established near the wizard tower, and it was known that it was the realm of the wizarding association, and there must be a large number of local wizards in the astral spirit realm gathered.
Even when the Arcane Tower did not appear before, ordinary players did not dare to approach that place, and the relics can cover the aura of the fool, so that ordinary people can't feel it, but it doesn't mean that they can hide it from those high-level wizards, and players can get close to that kind of place, which is equivalent to throwing themselves into a net.
However, Mu You has a mask, so he doesn't need to worry about these things, the effect of absolute concealment is so domineering.
Rushing all the way to the square in the center of the city, Mu You found that there were still a lot of people waiting for teleportation here.
The crowd formed a long line in front of the tower, and at the front of the line, there were two teleportation arrays full of arcane brilliance, one out and one in.
Mu You quietly mixed in the crowd and waited, listening to the movement in front of him by the way.
Of course, there is also a charge for sitting in this kind of teleportation array, and for every few people teleported, a magic ore must be replenished to fill the energy, so the fee is not low.
Mu You listened to those people burst out the names of places one by one, and then the mage who guarded the magic circle offered, the lowest one had a life span of five years, and the most even had a lifespan of 30 years!
Mu You wasn't sure if this teleportation array was really that expensive, or if most of the income was earned by the Wizarding Guild.
After waiting in line for nearly half an hour, it was finally Mu You's turn.
Mu You showed his token to the soldier in front of him, and the soldier took a brief look at it and let him go.
"Where are you going?"
"How long does it take to go to Heim City?" Mu You asked first.
"Heim City, ten years to live." Sitting behind the table, the middle-aged wizard who was in charge of controlling the formation said without raising his head.
How expensive is it......
Mu You muttered to himself. Fortunately, he will also sit on this trip, and he will be able to leave his own teleportation array after passing. This kind of one-time consumption is still acceptable.
However, Mu You didn't rush to the teleportation array, but asked again: "How long does it take to go to the imperial capital?" ”
This time, the wizard finally raised his head, glanced Mu You up and down, then looked at the black iron identity token in his hand, and frowned: "The teleportation direction of the imperial capital is currently closed to civilians. ”
"Huh?"
Mu You was stunned when he heard this, it seemed that the Wizards Association was quite careful, and in order to delay the time for the fools to approach the capital as much as possible, they simply closed the city access.
"Where the hell are you going?"
Seeing that Mu You was delayed in leaving, the wizard was a little impatient.
"To Heim City."
Mu You walked up to the teleportation array.
The wizard flicked the switch on the table a few times with a blank face, and then threw a magic crystal into the instrument funnel in front of him.
A pillar of light rose into the sky, instantly drowning Mu You's sight.
[You paid the teleportation array cost, lifespan -10.] 】
[You passed through the teleportation array and came from Sunset City to Haim City. 】
After another slight feeling of dizziness, Mu You's vision changed and he came to a new world, but this time the feeling of dizziness was much better than that of dark teleportation, and he got used to it in less than a second.
