"Damn, she's eaten all the bait!"

Mu You looked at the empty bait net pocket in the fishing net, and was speechless.

He had a bait filled with sleeping agent, but he kept it for magic fishing, and he dreamed of catching a net of fish, but it was all eaten by a single fish, and it was a personal fish......

If this mermaid is caught by ordinary fishermen or slave traders, I'm afraid that Noh will go crazy.

A Nikaro mermaid who looks similar to humans and is not a cannibal is definitely a sky-high price when auctioned off! No matter how poor a fisherman is, he can make a fortune and reach the pinnacle of life with this mermaid.

But for Mu You, this thing is not so beautiful, but a hot potato.

When this mermaid came into his hands, at most he asked her for some fish scales to refine medicine, and nothing else had any effect.

Killing and selling these two choices of ordinary people will not work with him, and those who have killed mermaids will be contaminated with a smell that only mermaids can recognize, and after being discovered by other mermaids, they will be madly retaliated.

It's the same if he is sold, once he is discovered, he will be hated by the merfolk for the rest of his life, which means that he must stay away from the ocean in the future, otherwise the mermaid clan, as the overlord of the sea, will not let go of the enemy in the water.

Mu You has just inherited the Ghost, and it is inevitable that he will have to deal with the sea for a long time in the future, and this kind of thing that breaks the back road must not be done.

At present, the only choice left for him is to bring it back and raise it, or put it on the spot.

However, Mu You looked at the unconscious mermaid in the net pocket, and he was not sure when the mermaid ate the bait and how long he would be asleep?

Just leave it here, and it is very likely that it will be found by other fishermen and taken away and sold.

"Forget it, let's take it back first......"

Mu You thought about it, and decided to bring the mermaid back to Earth, and it was a big deal to wait until the next time he came to release it.

It is said that it is not all bad to find such a mermaid, the mermaid is an intelligent life, can communicate, and does not hate fools like the wizards of the Star Spirit Realm.

If you can get along with the merfolk people, you might be able to ask them for help if you encounter all kinds of troubles in the sea in the future.

Mu You took the whole fishing net into his backpack and found a puddle on the grass to put it.

With such a big movement, the mermaid was still asleep unconscious, and there was no sign of waking up, which showed how strong the effect of the sleeping potion was.

Then he took out the materials packed in his backpack, mainly fishing bait and wine, and some experimental equipment, and stored them next to the teleportation array on the bottom of the sea, then put away his backpack, stepped into the teleportation array, and returned to the northern snowfield.

Suddenly returning to the ice field from the bottom of the water, the howling cold wind suddenly made him frosty. Mu You hurriedly put a small area of fire ring to dispel the water vapor on his body.

"Boss, you're back!"

At this moment, Lin Xue and Xiao Ya were already waiting for him at the door wearing plush coats, while the war eagle was hovering in the sky, patrolling the surrounding environment.

"Nothing happened at home, did you?"

Mu You patted the frost on his body, glanced at the two of them, after a day of leveling, at this time, Lin Xue and Xiaoya's levels had improved significantly.

"No, Sister Xue and I have been brushing monsters all day, and all the wild monsters we can find around are almost finished by us......" Xiaoya quickly explained their experience of the day.

They need less experience to upgrade in the early stage, and with the assistance of the war eagle, there is basically no monster that cannot be defeated on the snow field, and the upgrade speed is fast.

Halfway through, Lin Xue also changed classes with Xiaoya, and changed Xiaoya to brush up on the monster for a long time, and finally the two of them both broke through to level six, and Lin Xue was already close to level seven.

"That's good."

Mu You nodded, opened the backpack at the door, and entered to take out all the things in it.

When the backpack is back on the opposite side of the door, it will become unopenable, so you can only take out the things in advance and bring them into the door yourself.

Seeing that there were only five minutes left in the closing time, Lin Xue and Xiaoya also hurriedly came out to help carry things.

However, when they saw Mu You finally take a mermaid out, both of them were stunned in surprise.

"Boss, you actually kidnapped a mermaid and came back???" Xiaoya's mouth has grown into an O-shape.

"I said it was picked up...... Do you believe it? Mu You said very sincerely.

The two glanced at each other, and their expressions were quite the same: Don't believe it!

The legendary mermaid, if you can pick it up everywhere, will not be so precious.

Mu You didn't know how to explain it, he felt that this little mermaid seemed to be more stupid than a normal mermaid, and when he was trapped in a fishing net once, he actually dared to throw himself into the net, and he was greedy, and he dared to stuff things he didn't know into his mouth, and he didn't have the vigilance that intelligent creatures should have.

When the three of them returned home, Mu You summoned the war eagle back and waited at the door for the time to run out.

It wasn't until he confirmed that the door was completely closed that he asked Vivien to reseal the door back into the Mystic Card.

At this time, Lin Xue and Xiaoya had already taken the mermaid into the backpack space, found a shallow water fish tank in the store, put the mermaid in it, and scooped the tank full of river water from the river.

When Mu You came in, Lin Xue and Xiaoya were already in front of the fish tank, curiously watching the mermaid pointing and pointing, and even the unicorn and mandrake also ran over to join in the fun, this kind of intelligent creature that has lived underwater for a long time is also a completely novel species for them.

"Boss, what's going on?" As soon as she saw Mu You coming in, Xiao Ya hurriedly ran over to gossip about him, and Lin Xue next to her also pricked up her ears and prepared to listen carefully.

"Actually, it's not as complicated as you think......"

Mu You had no choice but to tell the two of them about the cause and effect.

"That's ...... so"

After hearing this, both of them looked at the mermaid with strange faces.

"This mermaid, isn't his brain very good......" Xiao Yahu wondered. How did such a stupid mermaid survive until now?

"Probably...... You're too confident......"

Lin Xue thought for a while and said: "This mermaid has been living near the sea for a long time, and has seen a lot of fishermen's fishing nets, and after violently breaking free from the fishing nets many times, he may have tacitly acquiesced that such nets are not dangerous, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as a sleeping potion......"

Mu You nodded, what Lin Xue analyzed was very likely to be the truth, and things like sleeping elixirs were indeed not something that those fishermen at the bottom of the Star Spirit Realm could take out.

Moreover, looking at the performance of Coke, you can see that this kind of bait produced by the earth with added attractants must have a great attraction to these otherworldly creatures, which attracted a mermaid to take the bait.

At this time, the mermaid was still asleep, and she didn't know how long she would have to sleep, and then she had to wait for her to wake up.

Mu You placed everything here, left the space, and sent Lin Xue and Xiaoya home.

Then he took out three mobile phones and looked at them separately.

No one contacted him on this day, only Zhang Yang sent a few messages, saying that he had a few small tasks, asking him if he was interested in participating or anything.

While dealing with the news from Zhang Yang's side, Mu You opened the fool game.

The game is online, and it is still next to the teleportation array outside Sunset City.

Mu You first sent a series of props such as the fishman mask into the game, armed the game characters, and then picked up the materials stored next to the teleportation array and put them all in his backpack.

Then he surfaced, found a place on the shore where no one was, and took out another prop: the Elven Horn!

This is the hidden relic that was snatched from the werewolf at the beginning, something that can summon elves and fairies, and it is used once a week, and there is a five-and-a-half-day cooldown time when it first arrives before, and the cooldown has just ended at twelve o'clock at noon today.

However, at that time, he was busy in the sea by boat, and he didn't have time to check, so when he had free time, he immediately took it out and activated the horn.

You blew the elven trumpet. 】

[The Dark Elf Queen, Fred Vault Dweller, has appeared in front of you and issued you a quest. 】

[Looking for Sunflowers: Since the dark elves have lived in the underground Undercity for a long time and cannot accept direct sunlight, I hope that you will go to the sun-drenched place of the hottest Sun City in the Star Spirit Realm within a week, and pick more than 100 sunflowers to serve as daylight for the Undercity. 】

[Reward: Dark Wings, a pair of demonic wings that allow you to gain the ability to fly when loaded.] 】

"Huh?"

Mu You was stunned for a moment, blew the horn, but what appeared was not the imaginary elf fairy, but what kind of dark elf queen?

Before he had time to think about it, he hurriedly pressed the time pocket watch and returned to the time before the horn was blown.

After carefully recalling the text description just now, Mu You found a pen and paper and recorded a few paragraphs.

"Dark Elves, Dark City, the mission is to go to some Scorching Sun City to pick flowers......"

Mu You opened the Fool's Forum and searched for 'Scorching Sun City' on the World Channel, and this search was easy to get results: Scorching Sun City is a city located near the equator of the Star Spirit Realm, which corresponds to a certain place in Africa in reality......

The equator of the Astral Spirit Realm, is that a place that can be visited in a week?

Although the reward is not bad, give a pair of wings, but this is a basically impossible task for him, the distance is too far, it is absolutely impossible to arrive in the game within a week, and in reality, unless he knows the player on the African side, ask someone to collect it in advance, and then he will fly all the way over to get it?

Not to mention how to trust each other? How should the cost of such a complex task be assessed? There are too many troublesome things.

After thinking about it, Mu You blew the horn again.

The elf fairy who said that he was good did not appear, but a dark elf came out, and he always felt that this task was not quite right: there should be many elf task publishers, right?

Sure enough, what happened next confirmed his guess.

[Back in time, you blew the elven horn. 】

[Riley Piper, High Priest of the Forest Elves, has appeared in front of you and issued you a quest.] 】

[Life Potion: A rare lesion has grown in a young shoot somewhere in the World Tree, and a high-grade Life Potion needs to be watered to restore vitality. Within five days, bring back a Epic or higher Life Potion. 】

[Reward: Wind Traveling Bow, a rare-level elven longbow that has mastered the power of the wind and can shoot powerful wind arrows.] 】

Mu You's eyes lit up, and sure enough, there were other elves!

And this time the task is much more normal, all I want is a bottle of life potion, this thing is only a first-order potion, but the difficulty is that what is needed is a potion above the 'epic' level.

You must know that Mu You has never successfully refined an epic potion at present, of course, if you are willing to use some drunken immortal brew, you will have a chance to refine it.

However, he doesn't need much of this quest reward, he already has a Mithril Bow, which is enough for daily use, and a high-quality bow will not improve him much.

Mu You shook his head, retraced the time again, and blew the horn again a few times.

[Back in time, you blew the elven horn. 】

[Sarina Sunshine, the Lady of the Solar Elves, has appeared in front of you and issued you a quest.] 】

[Catch the Wyvern Alive: Within a week, go to the bottom of the Great Abyss of Lohmadi to capture an Abyssal Wyvern alive and bring it back. 】

[Reward: One phoenix egg.] 】

……

[Back in time, you blew the elven horn. 】

[The fairy Ollea Well-wisher has appeared in front of you and issued you a quest.] 】

[World Tree Leaves: Within five days, carry her handwritten letter and rush to the Emerald City in the center of the Elven Forest to find the guardian of the World Tree, Priest Riley, and ask for ten World Tree leaves to suppress the erosion of the undead leylines. 】

[Reward: Choose one of the following two blessings to obtain. 1. Permanently gain 7 free attributes. 2. The cooldown of all your magic and items is permanently reduced by 10% (invalid against Fool's Relic). 】

……

After trying more than a dozen times in a row, Mu You found that there were actually only four elves in total, which were constantly rotating and appearing, and they also represented four different elf types: forest elves, daylight elves, dark elves and fairy fairies.

Each elf posts different quests and gives different rewards.

Among them, the most valuable reward is, of course, the daylight elf, directly send a phoenix egg!

Of course, the difficulty of the mission is also outrageously high, entering the great abyss of Lochmadi and capturing a wyvern alive......

Not to mention capturing the Wyvern alive, just going into the abyss and going around and coming out alive is already a problem of the century for him.

This task can only be watched by the eyes.

Mu You shook his head, hesitated among the four tasks, and finally chose the task of the fairy fairy.

One is that the reward is good, whether it is attribute points or cooldown reduction, it is a very useful blessing for him.

The second is because the task is simple, you only need to rush to the realm of the forest elves with the letter.

Also, the quest mentions the term 'World Tree'.

Other trees Mu You is not sure, but the World Tree should be considered a divine tree, right?

At the same time, the person to be found in this task happens to be the task publisher of the forest elf above, the high priest named Riley, and this person's needs Mu You knows, a bottle of epic life potion, if you refine it in advance, you can still have a chance to ask for some benefits when you see someone take out the potion and bribe.

He didn't ask for someone to cut down someone's treasure tree directly, but as long as he could get a seed or something, he would take it back and catalyze it himself, and it would not be difficult to get some wood......

Now the only question is, how to get to this Emerald City?

But there is no need to ask others about this, Xiaoya is now one of the priests of the Elven Forest, she should know this.

Mu You directly called Xiaoya and asked about the Emerald City.

"The Emerald City? It's the stronghold of the forest elves, in the center of the entire Elven Forest, far from the area under my jurisdiction...... However, you can take the elven's teleportation array to get there. ”

"How much does your teleportation array cost?" Mu You asked.

"If an outsider passes, it will be charged for 20 years at a time...... However, as a priest of the forest, I have three free opportunities to ride the elven teleportation circle three times a month, you can hide in my backpack, I will take you there, and you should not be discovered. ”

"That's great......"

Mu You was overjoyed to hear it, he began to feel pain after listening to the first half of the sentence, 20 years at a time, and 40 years back and forth. Fortunately, Xiaoya, as an insider, still has the opportunity to ride for free every month.

This saved forty years, Mu You had to sigh, sure enough, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do.

Originally, the biggest difficulty of this task was how to get to the Emerald City, but now this problem has been directly solved by Xiaoya, and it has become a cost-free task for him.

Next, Mu You didn't hesitate any longer, blew the horn a few times again, brushed out the fairy fairy, and then accepted her task.

[You have accepted the 'World Tree Leaf Collection' quest.] 】

[You have obtained the 'Handwritten Letter from the Elf Fairy Orea', with which you can obtain permission to meet with Riley, the High Priest of the Forest, and it will expire after five days.] 】

[You collected a bottle of 'Lucky Dust' where the fairy left.] 】

After confirming the task, Mu You recast the fishing net under the water, arranged the bait, and then took the teleportation array back to the hut in Anning Village.

The Elven Forest is a vast forest located in the north outside the borders of the Lanel Empire, and it is about a day's journey to ride a donkey through the village, not too far.

After returning to the village, Mu You didn't leave in a hurry, but took advantage of the fact that the hidden aura effect of thousands of people and thousands of faces was still there, and first went to the owl store at the entrance of the village to take a look.

【Welcome, distinguished guests!】 】

[Seeing a strange customer coming, the owl shopkeeper greeted you very warmly and showed you the products sold today.] 】

[Beginner Fire Skill Page: After studying, you can increase a LV2 fire magic to LV3, and increase the power of spells and spell casting speed by 25%.] Price: 10 years lifespan. 】

[Teleportation Mark: Bind a location, and when resurrected after death, you can choose to teleport back to the predetermined location, and cannot teleport across planes (after overwriting the new mark, the original mark location will become invalid). Price: 50 years lifespan. 】

[Sold out.] 】

To Mu You's surprise, the store didn't brush out the spell scroll today, but the 'Lesson Page' appeared.

This thing Mu You had seen on the forum, and it was specially used to improve the level of magic.

The LV1 to LV2 of the spell can be upgraded by the number of brush releases, and the promotion after LV2 must use this corresponding experience page, which is divided into three types: junior high and high, LV2 to LV3 need beginner experience, LV3 to 4 need intermediate experience, and LV4 to 5 need advanced experience.

And depending on the level of magic, the number of pages required to improve is also different, for example, beginner magic only needs one to upgrade, intermediate magic requires five, and high-level magic needs ten!

As for LV5 and above, any external objects are useless, and they can only be improved by their own personal experience in continuous use.

It's a bit of a shame that the merchandise isn't a spell scroll, but it's also a thing that can be prostituted for nothing. Mu You decisively used it after purchasing.

[Your 'Ring of Fireworks' has gained a fire experience bonus, and the upgrade progress is LV2 (1/5).] 】

The Circle of Flames is a mid-tier magic spell that requires five pages to improve.

But that's not a problem, it's not enough to go back a few more times.

[Your 'Ring of Fire' has gained enough fire experience bonuses to upgrade to LV3.] 】

It's a pity that Mu You only has this kind of fire-based white magic now, and there is no level of black magic, so the white prostitute can only end here.

Then Mu You looked at the second item below, the teleportation mark.

It's also a pretty good thing, and when you die and come back to life, you can choose to teleport back to your intended location to avoid being chased to death in the same location.

The price is 50 years, which is a little expensive, but it is still necessary to prepare one for this thing.

[You purchased the 'Teleportation Seal', with a lifespan of -50 years and a remaining lifespan of 427 years.] 】

After purchasing, Mu You immediately found that there was an extra circular formation rune on the back of his right hand, but it was still in a looming state, indicating that it had not been activated.

Mu You thought about it, returned to the cabin, and decided to place the mark in the house, after having the door, he would often walk in the other world in the future, and the real danger would occur in the opposite star spirit world.

And the wooden house is his property in another world, and it is also the safest place at the moment.

As for reality...... First of all, only the phoenix feather can provide him with a chance to resurrect, and secondly, it is basically impossible for him to encounter a life crisis in reality.

If it really comes to the situation that he is resurrected to save his life in reality, if someone is so deliberately calculating him, then there is no place on the earth that is absolutely safe, and wherever this mark is placed, it is possible to be ambushed.

[You have placed the teleportation sigil in the watchman's cabin, and you can choose to teleport back here at any time when you are resurrected outside.] 】

[You left the village and came to the forest in the wilderness......]

[You are on the side of the road in the forest, and you meet a 'nameless person'. 】

[The nameless person takes out a 'flying broom' and invites you to ride the broom with you.] 】

Not long after leaving the village, Mu You met a player in the forest and invited him.

Mu You was not surprised by this, because this player was actually Lin Xue.

Lin Xue's birth location in the game is in another small town not far from Anning Village, and she has been leveling up in the nearby forest recently.

After calling Xiaoya just now, Mu You also contacted Lin Xue and explained the situation to her.

After hearing this, Lin Xue immediately decided to go to the Elven Forest with him.

No matter how large the Wizarding Association's sphere of influence is, it is impossible to spread throughout the entire Star Spirit Realm, after all, there are still some places that they can't reach, such as the sea, such as the Elven Forest.

Instead of being chased and killed outside, it is better to go to Xiaoya's elf's territory to level up with peace of mind.

As for the broom in Lin Xue's hand, it was a relic she obtained when she entered the game.

[Flying Broom (Ordinary Relic): A broom that can carry you flying in the sky without a flying charm, but it is slower and can carry up to two people. 】

It's just an ordinary relic, but it's a more practical one among ordinary relics, and it provides a convenient flight ability for newcomers in the early stage, whether it's used to rush or escape from pursuit, it's extremely useful.

The road to the Elven Forest is still relatively long, and it will take a long time to ride a donkey, so Mu You asked Xiaoxue to wait for him nearby, just rubbing her broom.

[You agree to the invitation of the nameless person, get on the opponent's broomstick, and set off for the Elven Forest.] 】

[On the way, it is expected to arrive at the ...... in 10 hours]

10 hours, in fact, the speed is not very fast, but at least fly in the air, will not be stopped by those mobs on the ground at any time, you can hang up with peace of mind.

There was a game hanging in the background, and Mu You took the time to run into the space and take a look at the mermaid's situation.

As a result, as soon as I entered the space, I found that the fish tank was empty at this time, and there was a puddle of water stains on the side of the tank, which extended to the lake under the waterfall.
