Chapter 226: Membership Assessment
"Now it's a private chat channel, and the next sound can only be heard by you and me."
Mu You explained to the woman first, and then said, "Now, you can introduce yourself to me in detail." ”
"You seem to have just finished speaking, don't reveal your real identity casually......" The woman looked at him strangely.
"That's for everyone else, I'm different, I'm the arbiter here, the equivalent of an administrator, and I need to confirm your identity to be accountable to the meeting and the other members...... In addition, although you have obtained the ring of the Golden Bull, you are not yet a member of the Mystic Association, and whether you are allowed to officially join will need to be decided after my assessment. Mu You.
"Is there one?" The woman began to recall the rules she had heard when she entered the portal.
"I added it." Mu lobbied.
"Could it be that everyone else has joined and has also been inspected by you?" The woman frowned.
"They don't need it, but you're not like them." Mu lobbied.
"Just because old decay is not a fool?"
"You can understand it that way." Mu lobbied.
The woman didn't say anything more, but thought for a moment and asked, "What's the benefit of joining your council?" "Remember the URL
"The Mystic Society is not a mandatory organization, but a platform for mages to exchange and trade......"
Mu You also briefly explained to the other party the purpose of the Mystic Association and some basic matters.
The woman seemed to be a little moved after hearing this: "In other words, not only can magic be exchanged here, but even if it is needed in reality, as long as you give enough payment, you can also entrust others to complete it, right?" ”
"Theoretically, yes." Mu You nodded.
"Interesting."
The woman became more and more interested, and asked, "And the most important point in the conditions you just said is that you only need to help you solve the organization called the 'Wizards Association', right?" ”
Mu You glanced at the woman a little strangely.
One of the key reasons why he blocked other people from chatting privately with women was that he needed to test the relationship between the other party and the Wizarding Association with his words.
When a stranger joins the Mystic Society, of course, he must first make sure that the other party is not from the Wizarding Association, otherwise he will lure the wolf into the house.
As a result, the other party's response made him feel quite surprised, "What is it called the organization of the Wizarding Association", as if she didn't know what the Wizarding Association was......
"You...... Haven't heard of the Wizards' Guild? Mu You asked.
"Nope." As expected, the other party shook his head, and his tone was quite calm and natural.
And behind this calmness, there is another meaning: she doesn't need to know, no matter what the organization is, she doesn't care about it, which reflects the other party's strong confidence in her own strength.
"You...... What age are they? Mu You frowned and asked.
The Wizarding Association is now the most powerful and powerful organization in the Astral Spirit Realm, and a person in the Astral Spirit Realm does not know the Wizarding Association, which can only show that the other party's information access channels are extremely closed, and the era in which she was born must be older than the history of the birth of the Wizarding Association......
"The old man is the lord of the abyss, he lives at the bottom of the abyss all the year round, and he doesn't know much about the outside world, and he has no interest." The woman did not answer directly, but emphasized her identity: a worldly master who lived at the bottom of the abyss all year round, and disdained to understand the forces of the outside world.
Mu You didn't think so, if he was really so high, why did he just listen to his description of the Mystic Association, and he was 'interesting'?
"When you say abyss, do you mean the great abyss of Lochmadi?" Mu You asked.
"Yes." The other party nodded in acknowledgement.
"Why do you live there?" Mu You asked. The Great Abyss of Lohmadi was one of the most dangerous regions in the entire Astral Spirit Realm, and even the beasts did not dare to approach it at will, let alone settle there.
"There's no reason, I'm just used to the abyss environment and don't want to leave." The woman said.
What the woman said was conclusive, but Mu You heard a little insincere taste from her words, and it was more likely that she didn't want to leave, but she couldn't leave.
In other words, she was trapped at the bottom of the abyss by something or power.
This point, the chains that appeared from her soul body before, can be regarded as a kind of corroboration.
This person even had the ability to almost break free from the shackles of the black fog just now, but in the end he was pulled back by the chain, which can only show that the chain is a more advanced means of blocking than the black fog on the scene.
"And where did you get your Taurus ring?" Mu You asked again.
The Taurus must have died on Earth, otherwise he would have been affected by the rules of the Astral Spirit Realm at that time and would have been given a chance to be resurrected.
And this woman made it clear that she lives at the bottom of the abyss all year round, and the two can't fight each other.
The question is, it is impossible for Taurus to teleport the inheritance and ring to the bottom of the abyss after death, right?
"It's a secret." The woman shook her head and said she wouldn't say it, because it involved a spatial rift, and it was one of her future trading chips in this meeting.
"How many levels are you?" Mu You didn't dwell on the previous question, and decisively changed the question.
"Rank doesn't mean anything to me anymore, you just need to know that the old decay is the most powerful existence in the abyss!" The woman said.
"And how old are you?"
The woman didn't answer when she heard the words this time, but frowned and looked at Mu You: "It's almost the same question, the previous questions are enough to explain the identity of the old decay, and it has nothing to do with your hostile forces." ”
The woman can naturally understand the reason why the other party asks her so many questions, understanding her is on the one hand, and more importantly, it is to ensure that her identity is clean and there is no danger to the council.
And she thinks that what she said is enough, as an old antique who has been closed in the abyss for 1,500 years, no one is cleaner than her.
"It's not enough."
Mu You shook his head: "The previous statement is just your side of the story after all, and you still need to come up with more direct evidence." ”
The woman frowned, a little impatient, and said, "What evidence?" ”
"For example, collecting or capturing some local endemic species or something......"
The woman raised an eyebrow, which was indeed a proof of the facts.
"What kind of specialty do you want?"
"I remember that in the great abyss of Lochmadi, there was a creature called the 'Abyssal Wyvern'...... Well, next Thursday's meeting, you capture an Abyssal Wyvern alive and bring it over, and if you can do it, you can prove that you are indeed inside the Abyss. Mu You.
"Abyss Wyvern......" The woman frowned when she heard this.
"What, is there a problem? I thought it would be a simple thing for the 'Lord of the Abyss'. Mu You, focusing on the words 'Lord of the Abyss'.
"It's nothing, it's very simple." The woman nodded in response.
The reason why she frowned, of course, was not because she didn't have the strength to catch the Abyss Wyvern, but because her location was the seventh layer of the Great Abyss, and the Abyss Wyvern almost only lived above the sixth layer, and it would take her a lot of effort to capture an Abyss Wyvern alive.
However, at this time, she was questioned face to face, of course, she did not bother to speak out about these difficulties, and responded generously.
"Good. Other than that......" Mu You nodded and said again.
"And anything else?" The woman frowned again. It's just a council, and she doesn't like such a troublesome process.
"Catching the Abyssal Wyvern is just to prove your identity and location, the Mystic Society is an organization that studies and promotes the dark arts, and you need to prove that you have the talent to make and use dark magic cards." Mu You can flicker.
"How?" The woman asked.
"What is the secret technique you have in your crystallization now?" Mu You asked first.
"It's three secret arts, the Avenger, the Thunder Net, and the Executioner." The woman told the truth.
"The effect?"
"Avenger: High-level black magic, automatically triggered when resurrected after death, and automatically enters a state of magic immunity that lasts for 15 seconds."
"Celestial Thunder Net: High-level black magic, summons a thundercloud to inflict deadly continuous blows on enemies within range."
"Executioner: Intermediate Dark Magic, transform into an executioner, double your strength, increase damage taken by 50%, and gain the effect of overlord, immunity to knockback, levitation, slowdown, and all captivity control effects for ten seconds, and a cooldown of ten hours."
The woman described the three secret techniques on the crystals in turn.
As expected, the three secret techniques were indeed the spells that Taurus had used in that day's battle.
Let's not talk about the heaven and thunder net, this is a spell from the twins.
And the remaining two, the Avenger and the Executioner, are both enhanced spells.
These two must be the secret techniques produced by the Taurus itself, the crystallization of the Taurus corresponds to the gold system, which can also be called the strengthening system, and all the spells that strengthen the flesh can be transformed into black magic with the crystals of the Taurus.
And the effect of these two secret techniques is also quite extraordinary, one provides the ability to dominate the body, and the other provides magic immunity! The combination of these two spells almost allowed Taurus to escape from the encirclement of more than a dozen of them.
The only pity is that the magic of 'Avenger' cannot be actively used, and will only be activated automatically when the dead are resurrected, otherwise, this spell is a real magic skill.
"That's good."
Mu You nodded, took out a card, and passed it to the position of the golden bull through the pattern in front of him.
"In one day, choose one of the three secret cards in your crystal, copy a spare card, and then fuse this 'Death Contract' into your card slot."
Mu You explained the effect and usage of the Reaper Contract to the woman, and then said, "You need to transmit power to me through the Reaper Contract Circle at a frequency of half an hour in the next two days, until I take the initiative to reject your transmission." ”
The reason for this request is naturally to prepare for the subsequent tower-breaking operation.
This woman is a very powerful ancient person, and the crystallization of the secret technique fused by such a person is naturally abundant. With her help when breaking the tower, the energy at your disposal will be greatly increased.
The condition of 'once in half an hour and lasting two days' is a pure trick to prevent the other party from guessing his purpose, and also to prevent the specific time of breaking the tower from being exposed.
"Is that all?" The woman thought that Mu You would put forward some more stringent requirements, but she didn't expect that she would just use black magic regularly. This is much easier than letting her catch the Abyssal Wyvern.
"That's all there is to it. But I need to warn you that there are side effects of people other than fools using secret arts......"
Mu You didn't hide it, and informed the other party of the curse of human annihilation brought about by the black magic.
"Lose Your Humanity......"
The woman didn't react much to the effect of this curse, and nodded noncommittally: "Hehe, it's a trivial matter." ”
"Alright, as long as these two things are done before next week's meeting, I will allow you to officially join the Arcane Society. Now, I'll send you back first. Mu You.
"Wait a minute, there's another question!" The woman saw that Mu You was going to send off the guest, and hurriedly spoke.
"Say."
"Who the hell is Sadako?"
“……”
Mu You was also speechless by her question, and was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I'll bring Sadako to you next week." ”
"Okay, that's a deal."
The woman nodded, looking desireless. Mu You kicked her out of the meeting directly, and then unlocked the mute mode.
The others just saw that only Aries and Taurus were talking, and they also knew that it was Aries who had turned on the private chat mode, and they were all waiting for the two to finish chatting to explain the situation, but in a blink of an eye, they saw Taurus being kicked.
At this time, when the ban was lifted, everyone looked at it with a confused face.
"Aries boss, what's the situation? Who is this man? Why did you kick it? The lion asked questions on behalf of the people.
"Nothing. This meeting is a special situation, this person is not a player, and she cannot be allowed to hear the content of the meeting for the time being, and her identity is not determined. Mu You.
When the others heard this, they all reacted to what it meant. This meeting is a special situation, that is to say, I am afraid that the tower will be pushed soon, and Aries is going to arrange the arrangements in the action of pushing the tower!
And the facts were not expected, Mu You really announced the time of pushing the tower next.
"Tomorrow night at eleven thirty o'clock, start storming the Arcane Tower on time."
"Tomorrow night?"
"So fast?"
The crowd was amazed. This decision was made just two or three hours ago, and it has not yet had time to be notified. At this time, the others suddenly heard this, and they all felt that the action time was much earlier than expected.
And this is exactly what the decision-makers want, even their own people are surprised, and wizards from the other world are of course more likely to be caught off guard.
Mu You took out six 'Death Contracts' and passed them to Cancer, Scorpio, Archer, and Aquarius, who were the only remaining mystics on the scene who had not yet had a Death Contract.
As for the twins and Lin Xue, Mu You also gave one each to the end. In this way, all twelve people in the audience have the card of the Grim Reaper Contract.
"Tomorrow night's time for action, I need you to find a safe place in the game and use the contract to transfer power to me. Based on the current situation, the reward after the tower is broken will be calculated based on the amount of output, so there is no need to worry about your power being wasted, and I will attack the Arcane Tower directly from close range. Your contribution will be faithfully rewarded in your final reward. ”
After Mu You finished speaking, he added: "Of course, with the Death Contract, the consumption of life is unavoidable. Therefore, this action is not mandatory, if you find a better output condition, or the life span is not enough to deduct, you can stop supporting at any time and act as you wish. ”
The others didn't have any opinions when they heard this, Mu You's guess was very reasonable, and indeed the biggest possibility was to distribute the credit according to the output, and although they could enter the imperial capital with the ghost ship, after all, they would also use their mobile phones to control the characters at that time.
The output efficiency of the game characters is, of course, not comparable to the output of real people on the spot, and the transmission of energy to Aries can maximize their abilities, and at the same time, it can also prevent them from exposing their identities due to the indiscriminate use of black magic, killing two birds with one stone.
As for the consumption of life...... Under such an important full-server mission, the rewards are bound to be extremely rich, and every effort is worth it, even if it costs a hundred and eighty years of life.
After arranging the details of the action, the meeting officially entered the card exchange link.
The cards that Mu You showed this time were similar to last week, and the most popular ones were the life barrier and the wooden clone.
On the clone's side, he showed off the new card 'Thunderball Technique' and handed it back to Capricorn, closing last week's deal.
After some display and exchange, Mu You finally received two new secret cards: Snowball Spell and Repair as Before.
The Snowball Spell is the black magic that the maid transforms into the ordinary Snowball Spell, Mu You has already experienced its effect in the previous battle with the black-robed man, the black magic version of the snowball, greatly strengthens the control ability, and can freeze the enemy target when it explodes at any distance, and at the same time, after the snowball explodes, it can also summon a snowman with good damage to add damage.
As for 'Repair as Before', it is the dark magic that Libra transformed based on the low-level light spell 'Quick Repair' that he had changed to two weeks ago.
The original Repair Charm only repaired damage to small objects, or a certain part of a large object.
After converting to black magic, the restriction on the size of the repair object is directly removed, and any volume of non-magic items can be repaired at any time, but the larger and more complex the repair, the more mana is consumed.
But in other words, as long as there is enough natural magic, even the ruins of a city that has been completely destroyed after a major earthquake can be restored with this spell!
Neither of the two new secret techniques is practical.
It's a pity that there is still no life-based spell scroll for him to exchange this week, Mu You waited for a while, and finally had to give up.
At one o'clock in the morning, the meeting ended, and Mu You and the clone returned to the pet store on time.
Now that the full server mission is imminent, he has no time to rest.
For the next day and a half, he spent the next day and a half in card making and refining evolution potions, and finally before he acted, he sent forty bottles of evolution potions to Jiuyou's side, and as for how the country was going to distribute it, he didn't care.
In the game, the goblin who was kept in the storage bottle by Mu You woke up once halfway, but Mu You had already calculated the time and stayed in the bottle in advance.
Originally, he was going to talk to the goblin, but the goblin didn't know if he was too scared, so he refused to negotiate, and when he woke up, he blew himself up, and after exploding more than a dozen times, he found that he was always stuck in the bottle, and he also knew that he couldn't escape, and he fainted on the spot in despair.
Mu You couldn't help it, so he had to pour it another bottle of sleeping potion.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of the 8th, Mu You closed the shop early and walked to the basement.
At this time, Lin Xue and Xiaoya were already waiting here. Lin Xue was fully equipped and ready to go out, and it was time to enter the door this week.
Mu You also confirmed that the things he should bring were ready, and then he took out the 'door' and stepped forward to push open the door.
The icy wind and snow whistled in, and the familiar ice field and snow scene outside the door were still the same, but unlike before, when the doors were opened on snowy nights, it was only sunset.
Mu You glanced at his watch, 17:10.
The start time of Operation Push Tower is half past eleven in the evening, and the reason why he enters the door so early is because his current level 12 experience bar is very close to leveling up, and he is going to enter the door in advance to find some wild monsters to practice, and it is best to raise the level by another level before nightfall.
