Chapter 221: The Lost City of Dawn
You have allowed the beaver's request to get on the boat. γ
[The beaver landed on deck, still dragging the small suitcase in his hand, and introduced you to its purpose. γ
The Beavers are natural ocean navigators, the best at charting the world, and they are also the most devout believers in the god of runes, happy to collect all kinds of magic and spell scrolls, and feel the revelation from the gods from the magic runes in them. γ
[Therefore, the beaver clan is both a chartmaker and a scroll collector, and they are happy to exchange their own charts for various rune scrolls with humans, which is a great work of art for them.] γ
[The beaver sees that your sea ship, such as the captain of a large sea ship like you, will most likely have a need for nautical charts, so he will chase you on purpose, and if you have a free scroll on you, it will be happy to make a deal with you. γ
[Do you agree to trade with it?] γ
βeβ¦β
Looking at the hint of the game text, Mu You's face was strange.
It is understandable that the beaver family, who migrate and travel in the sea all year round, are good at drawing charts.
However, an animal race actually has a habit of collecting human scrolls, and it is not used for it, but for collectibles......
Yes, it's a beaver!
Mu You chose to agree.
He may not have anything else, but he does have a scroll!
He hadn't shot the scrolls of the "Restless Technique" and the "Wooden Clone" that he had obtained at the previous meeting, but this was a mid-level and a high-level spell scroll, which was worth a lot of money.
He had also hesitated before, whether to continue to hang on the Longteng software for points, this kind of thing is hung too often, there is a certain risk of exposure, it is better to find another way to make a move.
As a result, a tanuki who claimed to be a collector of scrolls took the initiative to find it, and in exchange for something more important for navigation, such as nautical charts......
Mu You decided to see what the other party's chart was first.
[You express that you want to see the other party's goods first.] γ
[The beaver readily agrees and opens its small suitcase.] γ
[The suitcase is beautifully packed in glass, and six nautical chart scrolls are placed. γ
[The latest version of the Underground River Map of the Lanel Empire: The result of the efforts of countless beaver travelers over the ages, the Empire's Underground River Map is more accurate than any similar map in the world, and explores a large number of hidden rivers and strange locations that have not been explored by other charts. Value: High Spell Scroll x1, or High Magic Scroll x3. γ
[Nax Submarine Prison Distribution Map: The topographical distribution map drawn by the beaver clan risking their lives to infiltrate the legendary ancient prison and sacrifice a large number of their own lives. Value: High Spell Scroll*1......]
γMap of the Guaro River Basin......γ
[A mysterious map fragment ......]
γCook Islands Maritime Map Latest Edition......γ
γBasi Sea Area Map ......γ
The six scrolls are really all nautical charts, and the one that attracted Mu You's attention the most was undoubtedly the first one, the Empire's underground river map.
He also had a map of the underground river in his hand now, but it was only a sketchy map based on Vivien's memories.
Vivien certainly didn't study places like underground rivers in depth, so the map wasn't very accurate. What's more, Vivien's memory is stuck in a hundred years ago, and after so many years, even the general river map should have been updated for several generations.
The map sold by this tanuki is still very useful to Mu You, not only is there a demand right now, but with this map, he can easily open up an exclusive channel under the empire in the future.
Without much hesitation, Mu You chose to buy it, but before buying, he held the pocket watch first.
[You paid the beaver a "wooden doppelganger" scroll. γ
[You have obtained the "Underground River Map of the Ranel Empire.] γ
[Start with the map, you open it immediately to view. The river map is filled with dense markings, much more detailed than you might think, and this is indeed a great value for money map. γ
Mu You estimated the time, and when he saw that it was about five seconds, he pressed the pocket watch.
[You used a short period of two or three seconds to quickly memorize a small part of the map, and then reversed time in a vain attempt to empty the white wolf. γ
[It's a pity that after the passage of time, you find that your mind is empty, and you can't recall half a minute of the map you just wrote.] γ
"Oh?" Mu You was stunned, what's going on? Failed to engage in white prostitution?
I repeated the steps just now and retraced them a few times, and the result was the same, and each time it prompted "my brain is empty".
Now Mu You somewhat understood, these charts seemed to have imposed some means, resulting in inability to remember.
[Turning back in time, you didn't rush to buy the charts, but asked the beaver what was special about the materials of these charts. γ
[The beavers tell you that they have encountered some wizards with the ability to see and foresee in the past chart trade, which has caused their efforts to be copied on a large scale at zero cost and become a profit-making tool. Therefore, in order to ensure that their knowledge products are not stolen by others, the beaver tribe uses special anti-theft methods in the future nautical charts, and all the nautical charts they produce cannot be captured by video devices, and when someone tries to copy the nautical charts, the memory will be erased, and the copied nautical chart lines will automatically disappear. γ
"Automatically erase memories? Automatically erase copies? β
Mu You was surprised, this beaver clan is a bit awesome, say that they don't know magic, they can actually come up with this wonderful anti-theft method, this effect is almost catching up with Lu Yao's hidden ability.
confirmed that he couldn't prostitute himself, Mu You didn't toss anymore, and directly replaced this underground river map.
There was still a mid-level scroll left, and Mu You browsed through the remaining charts.
However, the other charts are a bit far away for him, and even if he gets his hands on them, he can't go there in a short time, and it's not much use to change them.
Mu You was thinking about ending the transaction when a text suddenly popped up in the game.
[The beaver saw the other scroll of the Immortal Spell in your hand, and saw that you couldn't make up your mind, so he recommended another item in the box to youβthe mysterious chart fragment (Part 2). γ
[This chart was not drawn by the Beaver Clan, but a map it picked up by chance during the voyage, except that it was not a complete map, but a fragment from a certain map, only one-ninth in size, and the map was wrapped in a mysterious mist, making it impossible to see the contents of it.] γ
[According to the analysis of the elders of the clan, this seems to be a map specially prepared for the fools, and only the fools can see through the black fog and see the contents inside. γ
[Because they can't see the contents, the beaver clan can't estimate the value, so they are temporarily sold at the price of a mid-tier scroll.] γ
[And the reason why the beaver recommends this map to you is precisely because it sees your identity as a fool and believes that this map is the most suitable commodity for you.] γ
"A map for the Fool?"
Mu You's face was strange for a moment, and after thinking about it, he chose to exchange it first, and checked the instructions with the omniscient crystal.
[Map fragment of the Ancient City of Dawn (Part 2): One of the places where the Fool's ancestors lived, the Lost Ancient City, and the Ruins of the City of Dawn, collect at least three map fragments to display the contents of the map, visible only to the Fools.] γ
Is it the residence of the ancestors of the Fools?
No wonder it is only visible to the foolish!
The secrecy imposed on this map seems to be much more sophisticated than the Beaver Clan's anti-theft techniques, not only can only be seen by people of a certain race, but also requires at least three maps to be displayed in order to display the contents.
This kind of unique thing, whether it is useful or not, must be exchanged, a mid-level scroll, if this falls into the hands of other players, and then want to get it back, it will be far more than that!
[You exchanged the "Restless" scroll with the beaver for map fragments, and asked if they didn't have similar map fragments.] γ
[It's a pity that the beaver clan also has its own territory under its own responsibility, at least within the Lanel Empire, it has not seen similar fragments. γ
"Sure enough, no......"
Mu You secretly said that it was a pity, but this was also normal, if this kind of fragment could be obtained casually, then he would have to doubt the authenticity.
[You asked the beaver to help you keep an eye out for similar map fragments in the future, and then closed the deal.] γ
[The beaver thanked you for your patronage, and before leaving, gave you a special whistle, if there is a spell scroll in the future.]
The shaft needs to be traded, just blow the whistle and within a day its kind will be coming. γ
[You have obtained [Beaver Whistle]*1.] γ
β¦β¦
Watch the beaver jump off the Ghost and drive the boat away.
Only then did Mu You point out the two charts he had just obtained and looked at them.
Both are square, but they differ greatly in size, with the Underground River map the size of a tablecloth and the map fragment the size of an A3 piece of paper.
Comparing the two together, the fragmented map does look like a ninth-cut from a complete map.
The fragmented map was shrouded in a layer of gray mist, and Mu You tried all kinds of methods at hand, including anti-concealment, dispel, omniscient crystals, jack-o'-lanterns, etc., but he couldn't see through them all, and it seemed that he really needed to gather at least three pieces to show up.
Putting away the fragmented map, Mu You spread the river map on the table and observed it carefully.
This river map is really very finely drawn, from the underground rocks and reefs, to the small underground wells drilled by urban residents everywhere, all of which are drawn clearly, and the dense river network and various messy markings make Mu You a little dizzy at first glance.
Mu You patiently observed carefully, and quickly found his location, as well as the location of the imperial capital, and the combination of pathways that could connect the two was as many as capillaries.
The Ghost was still on a relatively short route, Mu You did not rush to change the route, and continued to observe the surroundings, but soon noticed another location.
Stanlow Freshwater Lake.
Located in a large lake near the capital of the empire, this place is where the frog said that he was trapped in the original letter, so Mu You paid special attention to it. As a result, an anomaly was immediately discovered.
