Chapter 238: The Wizards Association moves its capital
"Sure enough, martial law began......
In an alley in the imperial capital, Mu You looked at the scene of a team of guards knights patrolling the street outside, and sighed secretly.
After the war was over, the Arcane Tower was gone, and the Fool regained his freedom of movement, and he had been thinking about taking the opportunity to wander around the city, but when he looked down on the street, he realized that he had thought too much.
Because of the great war just now, almost all the residents and shops in the imperial capital are hiding in their respective homes at this moment, and they are closed.
And on the streets, a large number of guards knights have also begun to implement a curfew strategy, they can't tell who is the fool now, but they don't need to tell who is the fool, directly block the city, let everyone stay home, and the rest are still wandering on the street, there must be fools, see one to expel the other.
The curfew had been in place since an hour ago, and at this moment the players had either gone offline or had already evacuated the imperial capital through the South Gate, and the airborne team had also hurriedly collected some building fragments, and returned to the sky in time, returning to Earth through the floating gate high in the sky.
"Shall we go out of town and come back during the day?" Behind him, Lin Xue proposed.
"There's no point, there's too much movement tonight, and the lockdown can't last just one night. Leave a teleportation array and go straight away." Mu You shook his head.
It would be more troublesome for others to go out of the city and try to come in, but they have a dark teleportation and can come back at any time.
Of course, the teleportation array is not placed casually, in such an important place as the imperial capital, if the teleportation array is placed in the imperial capital, it will be dismantled sooner or later.
After thinking about it, Mu You still felt that the vicinity of the underground fumatain that he had entered the city before was the safest.
Then Mu You let Lin Xue and Vivian into their backpacks, and he rode chocobos to the reservoir.
The reservoir in the middle of the night is quiet and silent, and the bluestone embankment extends down to a depth of dozens of meters, which is the smooth water surface like a mirror, and under the dark sky, the entire reservoir looks like a monster that chooses people to devour.
After Mu You put away the chocobo, he jumped into the lake below, swam all the way to the bottom, and soon found the jet tunnel underwater.
This jet road is a one-way street, so you can only go from the bottom to the top, and if you jump from the top down, you will be sprayed back.
However, this was not difficult for Mu You, he directly entered the rock formation at the bottom of the lake with a ground entry technique, dived all the way, and soon came to the underground river channel dozens of meters down, found a hidden position, and put down the dark teleportation array under the water.
Then Mu You took out the storage bottle and poured out the ghost boat in it.
With a loud pop, the Ghost rushed into the river with the current in the bottle, quickly returning to its original size, rolling the waves of water on the river.
It was locked in the bottle for the middle of the night, and the skeleton crew immediately poured out of the cabin, cheering on the deck.
Mu swam into the captain's room and gave the ship spirit a new route to leave the imperial capital along the way he came.
After seeing the Ghost sail, he jumped underwater, stepped into the teleportation array, and teleported to the vampire crypt, resealing the bodies of Vivien and Grandma Lin Xue.
At this time, it was just three o'clock in the morning, and there were still fourteen hours before the closing time, and the two of them were not in a hurry to go back.
After the open beta, it is almost impossible to find a comfortable leveling area like the devil's seabed and the rotten swamp, basically all the leveling areas, you can meet players who are clustered, there are more wolves and less meat, and the thing of robbing monsters cannot be eliminated at all.
Misty Mountain is relatively good, due to the steep terrain, and the fog wrap, there are not many players who can go up to more than a thousand meters, the two of them wander here, an average of about ten minutes can meet a monster, at the end of the day, you can brush a small thousand points of experience, and the herbs encountered in the middle can also be collected easily, and the overall income is not bad.
With their strength, now the monsters in the Misty Mountain are no longer difficult at all, and the two of them casually summoned a few summons and pushed them all the way.
Time passed quickly, and the two brushed all the way from Shannan to Shanbei, and the sky gradually entered the early morning.
After coming to the north of the mountain, Mu You stood on a rock halfway up the mountain and glanced down, but just happened to see the thatched houses and courtyards hidden in the morning mist at the foot of the mountain below
, I couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xue saw his strangeness and asked.
"Nothing...... Keep practicing, I'll go down and see." Mu You said hello to Lin Xue and went down the mountain alone.
The old man's hut, he hasn't been back for almost a month in the game, and in reality, this is the first time he's actually here.
Following the mountain path all the way to the foot of the mountain, Mu You saw the small courtyard in front of him.
This small courtyard itself is not big, it looks a little dilapidated, but the scenery is quite elegant, and there are several acres of farmland behind the small courtyard.
The small courtyard and the farmland behind it are fenced, don't look at it as just a low fence, but after all, it is a magic item, and after enclosing it, it will automatically establish an enchantment, and the area belongs to a personal residence, without the permission of the owner, no one else can force their way in.
After the open beta, there was a large influx of players, and the vicinity of this small courtyard must have been patronized by many players, perhaps to avoid being disturbed, the gate of the courtyard is closed at the moment, and the courtyard is quiet.
It's only half past five in the morning, and the sky is just getting light, Mu You didn't plan to disturb the old man's rest so early, and he was going to look at the yard from afar.
didn't think about it, but this look immediately saw that in the courtyard ahead, an old woman with a cane was standing in front of the courtyard gate, also looking around, as if looking for something, and soon noticed Mu You in the distance, with a happy face, beckoning to him from afar, beckoning him to come over.
Mu You was a little surprised, he didn't change into the skin of a medicine picker now, he was going down the mountain fast just now, and he was using a vampire skin......
With doubts, Mu You walked over.
"Kid, you're back!" The old man looked at him with a smile on his face.
"You're ...... How did you recognize me?" Mu You asked a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, after all, you've been eating and living with me for a month, can I still recognize you?" The old man smiled kindly.
Mu You didn't delve into this issue, the old man really knew that he was not a real medicine picker, but he still treated him as his own child.
"Your trumpet." Mu You took out the harvest horn from the ring and handed it back to the old man.
The old man took the horn, rubbed it nostalgically, looked at Mu You and asked, "Has it helped you?"
"Of course, it helped a lot." Mu You nodded. Not to mention the role of the Harvest Horn itself, the black magic "crazy growth" transformed through the Harvest Horn has frequently had highlight performances in recent times, and the credit is not to be said.
"That's good." The old man smiled and nodded with satisfaction, while already pulling him to enter the door: "I've been running around for a month, I'm tired, come in and eat something."
Mu You was pulled into the door by the old man and sat down in the main house, but she went to work in the kitchen herself.
Mu You turned his head and looked, the house was not big, simple tables and chairs, simple decoration, most of them were bamboo and wood products, and they were cleanly maintained.
It looks simple and elegant, but most of the home facilities are relatively backward after all, and now with the space ring, you can easily transfer materials, and in the future, you can send some daily necessities from the earth to help the elderly improve their conditions.
After a while, the busy voices in the kitchen quieted down, and the old man walked out with a porcelain bowl and placed a bowl of rice porridge in front of Mu You.
Inside the white porcelain bowl are crumbs of a variety of grains and dishes, blended into a variety of colorful colors, which are the same colorful rice porridge that his game characters have eaten many times before.
Seeing this magical rice porridge with his own eyes in reality, Mu You found that both the appearance and the smell were much better than he imagined.
Picked up the spoon and tasted it, the porridge rice was soft and glutinous, sweet and salty, fragrant and rich, and the taste was not picky.
Spoonful after spoonful of thick porridge in his stomach, Mu You immediately felt that there seemed to be a strange magic power surging in his body, flowing into his limbs and hundreds of remains, not only recovering his lost magic power completely, but also dissipating all the fatigue from his big battle last night.
The old man was very satisfied when he watched him eat very deliciously
smiled, but after looking at it for a while, he suddenly realized something, and said in some surprise: "The breath of the elf race...... Looks like you've been out and about a lot of places during this time."
Mu You was reminded by this, and also remembered this stubble, and told the old man about his experience in the elf clan some time ago, as well as the encounter with the spindle mother-in-law.
"Spindle...... What a nostalgic name." The old man smiled with emotion, then looked at Mu You and said, "If you want to learn to make wine, you don't have to go as far as the elf clan, I can also teach you at home."
"Oh? Is that okay?" Mu You's eyes lit up, he also thought that the skills taught by the elf clan would most likely have some rules that would not be passed on.
"Hehe, the elves live a loose life, and there are not so many rules. Besides, they will not pass on the skills that are really important, and they will not interfere with the skills that have already been taught." The old man said with a smile.
This was an unexpected surprise for Mu You.
In the following time, he didn't go to level up again, so he learned winemaking techniques with the old man at home.
Unlike the distillation method that is common on Earth, Otherworldly brewing uses magical means to make the final drink have various magical effects.
Brewing is also a profound profession in life, and it is not much easier to learn than potions, and because it takes too long to brew wine each time, there is no shortcut to repeatedly brush proficiency with pocket watches + fool cards, and this thing actually takes no less time to learn than potions.
However, the old man was very happy to teach, and Mu You was also very serious about learning, from the selection of grains, the processing method of grains, to the production of koji, and the technique of winemaking...... Each step takes a considerable amount of time, and according to the old man's own words, she also studied in the Elven Forest for two years before she completely mastered the art of brewing.
From early morning to afternoon, a whole day passed, and Mu You had only just mastered the step of picking grains in the end, and the other steps were still at the entry level.
Mu You was in a state of study, and suddenly heard a knock at the door, turned his head to look, and found that Lin Xue was standing at the door of the courtyard and nodded at him.
Mu You raised his wrist and looked at the time, only to find that it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still more than half an hour before the closing time.
"Grandma, it's time for me to go." Mu You looked at the old man and said apologetically.
The old man seemed to have expected this scene a long time ago, and he didn't stop it, nodded with a smile, and advised, "Remember to go home on time for dinner in the future."
"Okay."
Mu You nodded, now that there is no such annoying thing as the Arcane Tower, there are no scruples, and you can come back at any time in the future.
Then Mu You and Lin Xue transferred back to the snow field through the teleportation array in the courtyard, and took out all the things in the backpack, including the newly beaten magic fish during this period, the dragon eggs in the cultivation bag, and a bunch of small tadpoles in the frog boy, as well as the goblin that was still unconscious......
Once everything was transferred to the pet store, the time was almost up.
Mu You guarded the door, waited for five o'clock, closed the door on time, and asked Vivian to take back the door card.
At this point, the business of this trip is over.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, accepted the card, turned his head and immediately took out his mobile phone, turned it on, logged in to the forum, and swiped the news.
Now that a full day has passed since the start of the war, if there are no accidents, there should be no shortage of news now.
In fact, as expected, at this moment, the homepage of the domestic forum has been brushed by today's full-server tasks.
Successfully bulldozed the Arcane Tower of the opposite empire, and also played extraordinarily, giving a heavy blow to the Wizarding Association, this time the domestic full-server mission can be called a complete victory.
The domestic network has long been celebrated by the whole world, especially this time it is an achievement achieved by everyone's unity, most people have contributed, and it is even more precious.
Those who have won the title of "Tower Breaker" are now star-like beings in forums and games, and a large number of IDs with titles are posted on various forums to show off their presence.
In addition, the most popular post is the gossip about two mysterious masters.
In this tower pushing, the main player team and the support team originally encountered considerable obstacles, but as a result, two legendary-level master support appeared in the middle, one is level 25, and the other is level 27. It was the timely addition of these two masters that saved the situation that was about to overturn, and finally defeated the Wizards Association.
Without a doubt, these two are the biggest contributors to this battle!
And the identities of these two mysterious masters are also the focus of everyone's gossip. Among them, the level 27 has been confirmed to be the mysterious scattered player who has had a highlight performance in the Warcraft invasion incident in the Yangtze River Basin, according to people familiar with the matter, this big guy owns a ghost ship and calls himself "Ghost Captain".
The other person, on the other hand, had not been named, nor had any traces before, as if he had suddenly appeared out of this incident. Because she uses a scythe and fights as a girl in a red cloak, I don't know who first gave it a more apt name, called "Red Scythe Girl", and then it was so commonly called on the forum.
Ghost Captain, Red Scythe Girl, is already the top two words in the domestic forum section, but unfortunately searching for these two names in forums and games shows that they do not exist.
In other words, "Captain Ghost" is just a pseudonym for that big guy, not a real game ID.
There are quite a few people who want to preemptively bet on these two names, but unfortunately, the IDs of all players were determined as early as the first launch on the day of the open beta, and there was no chance to change them. The official website of the Fool has now closed the qualifications for applying for new accounts, and new players who have reached the age of age can not apply for an account on the official website of the Fool until New Year's Day every year.
There are a lot of relatively close IDs before and after that appear as high imitations, such as "Soul Captain", "Captain of the Undead", "Wood Knife Girl" and the like, but the real person has never appeared.
"Where's the Red Scythe Maiden?"
Lin Xue was also brushing the news at this time, and naturally saw this hot search, a little strange Chao Muyou smiled, and then took out the stand-in card she got, entered the game to activate, and tried to apply for the ID of "Red Scythe Girl".
"I'll try ...... too"
Mu You's heart moved, and he also took out his stand-in card, opened the game, and activated it.
A prompt pops up immediately in the game.
[Please take an ID for your stand-in identity, limited to seven characters, not duplicated with the existing ID, the ID will be used in both the Fool Game and the Fool Forum, once confirmed, it cannot be modified. 】
Mu You first tried "Captain Ghost", but a pop-up prompt "This ID is occupied".
Delete, and enter "Captain Ghost".
The name was not occupied, and it passed without incident.
[Confirmed, you have obtained the stand-in ID: Captain Ghost.] Friends and titles of the real and double identities are independent of each other. When making friends or speaking in forums, you can choose to use your real or stand-in ID. 】
After creating his identity, Mu You also took advantage of the heat of the discussion of these two names, and went to the forum on the spot and lost a post.
Post this title in the forum, and Aite Nine Shades. Jiuyou's ID in the forum is also called Jiuyou, and looking for him can be regarded as a way to verify his identity.
As soon as the post was posted, a reply popped up below it almost at the same time.
"Red Scythe Girl: Top Post!"
Mu You turned his head and looked at Lin Xue.
Lin Xue smiled and made a triumphant gesture towards him, "It seems that both names are still there."
Mu You nodded, everyone's IDs were determined on the day of the open beta, and after that, new players could not apply for an account until New Year's Day every year, and no one took these two names on the day of the open beta, and now if you want to preemptively register, it is only possible for those who have a stand-in card, but those who can get a stand-in card will not be so boring.
It's okay to authenticate the identities of both of them at once, and when you need it in the future, you will have enough say on the forum.
His post brought hot words, which was quite eye-catching, and several new replies soon appeared.
"Another hot ......"
"It's a good imitation this time.
It's just one word off."
「??? Tower Breaker Star?"
"Wow, the owner of the post and the first floor are hot at the same time? Be creative, are you two talking about it?"
「!!!」
"Damn, this title blinds me!"
"So...... Is this a Buddha-figure?"
……
After a brief period of suspicion, the subsequent floors quickly turned into shock and admiration, because Mu You had already hung up the shiny title of "Broken Tower Star", which was displayed in real time even in the forum.
Something else can be faked, but this unique title can't be faked.
Later, on the thirtieth floor below, Jiuyou appeared, replied with a "Okay", and attached a meme to worship the great god.
The account of Jiuyou has been verified, and it is a forum account of up to level 54, which many people have seen, and it is impossible to fake.
He responded in person, and now everyone completely believed it, this is the account of the legendary boss!
So this post became popular instantly, and it was directly put on the homepage by artificially, and countless players poured into the post to worship the great god.
And Mu You's side also received a large number of friend applications in an instant, but fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to close the option of "Accept friend applications" in time, which cleared up.
Then Mu You didn't care about the post anymore, but went to the international forum to take a look. It was not only the Celestial Empire that began to break the tower today, but many other forces saw that the situation was good, and they also followed suit and started to act.
And these countries that follow the trend are actually winning consecutive battles, and among the sixteen countries that have acted so far, thirteen Arcane Towers have been bulldozed! Of course, there are still failures, according to the news on the international forum, North America, Indonesia, Australia, the three places of the tower pushing operation have been blocked, because there are legendary masters haunted.
On the side of the Celestial Empire, there is a corresponding legendary-level master who appeared to check and balance, and only then did he succeed in taking the tower, but other countries did not have this kind of good luck, and when they encountered the legendary master, they all suffered setbacks on the frontal battlefield and suffered heavy losses.
Especially in North America, it is said that four legendary figures appeared at once!
As soon as Mu You saw this situation, he knew that it must be a few wizard elders from the imperial capital, all of whom had retreated to the corresponding empire in North America, and looking at this meaning, it seemed that the wizarding association wanted to move its headquarters directly to North America.
In other words, now North American players are facing the difficulty of pushing towers before the Celestial Empire, and it is even higher, because these elders are on guard and will no longer be as careless as before...... Mu You also mourned in his heart for the players in North America, their tower is basically destined to be unable to take it.
Then Mu You searched again, but he didn't find any information about the fragments of the map of Sky City, and it seemed that the players who got the final blow, or the forces behind them, all chose to keep the news secret.
However, paper can never contain fire, and this news cannot be kept for too long after all, as more and more arcane towers are broken, someone will break out sooner or later......
"By the way, boss, I have a courier from you, someone sent it during the day." At this time, Xiao Ya on the other side of the door suddenly opened her mouth and shouted Mu You.
"Courier?"
Mu You was stunned, he didn't seem to have shopped online recently.
"Who delivered the delivery?"
"It's a ...... Hmm, who's coming? I can't remember......" Xiaoya knocked on her head, wondering if her memory had premature aging.
Mu You walked over and looked at it suspiciously.
The so-called express delivery is a cardboard box wrapped with tape, and the large volume is somewhat exaggerated, but the weight is very light when carried.
After confirming that it didn't look like a bomb or something, he opened the box and found that it was full of golden flowers.
[Sunflower*306: A magical flower that only grows in the hottest places in the astral realm, and can store light energy efficiently and place it in a suitable place to act as a light source. 】
