Chapter 242: In Search of the Lost Sky City

A library that turns people into ghosts......

Mu You kind of guessed how this silent lady died.

[After answering your question, Silent Niang held the book just now and read it, signaling you to take care of yourself and find her cat if you have something. 】

Mu You didn't leave in a hurry, although this shop was deserted, but it was a normal bookstore, he took a turn in the store, but unfortunately most of the books here are popular science, autobiography, history of magic, geography, and literature, and there are no too precious books for sale.

But Mu You finally bought one thing.

[Automatic wayfinding letter: A letter with paper wings, write a clear enough name or identity on the envelope, and it can automatically fly to the target's location to send a letter, only for targets in the same city that have opened a magic mailbox, a one-time item. Price: 1 year lifespan. 】

One year of life, which is converted into more than 8,000 yuan of an envelope!

Mu You smacked his lips, it's really expensive enough.

It's no wonder that most wizards always have owls on hand. The owl is equivalent to an unlimited number of wayfinding letters, and at the same time, it can also send letters across cities, and the practicality is complete.

But there is no way, Mu You has no owls available now, let alone registered his identity in the city, so he can only use this high-end gadget to make do with it first.

[You paid the civet for 1 year of life.] ] Remember //xbiqu for a second

[Obtain 'Auto Wayfinding*1'.] 】

After purchasing, Mu You took out the wayfinding letter and looked at it, an ordinary white envelope, with a paper wing on the left and one on the right on the cover, filled with blank stationery.

Taking out the letterhead, Mu You found a quill and wrote the content of Xinglingyu on the paper: "Your cat is in my hands, if you want your cat, come to the Chengdong Reservoir alone at eight o'clock in the morning, don't tell anyone else." ”

After writing, Mu You put the letter back into the envelope and looked back at Coke: "Coke, what is your master's full name?" ”

At this time, Cola was on all fours on the bed, his eyes were rolling, he had already slept halfway, and he opened his eyes in a daze: "Master? What host? ”

After a few seconds, it suddenly came to its senses and jumped off the bed in an instant: "Yes, master, I still have a master meow!" ”

"Nonsense." Mu You rolled his eyes.

"Mu You, have you found my master?" Cola asked excitedly.

"Not yet, I'm looking for it, don't you write a letter to your master?" Mu You shook the envelope in his hand.

"Oh, my master's name is Chrissy Fuya, a member of the Swinburn family of magic, the eldest daughter of Earl Joseph, a seventh-year student at the Red Rose Academy, and a gifted witch who has won three Red Rose Stars...... Don't make a mistake. Coke hurriedly jumped onto the table and supervised Mu You to write down the name of its owner.

After writing the name, Mu You sent the envelope into the game and chose 'Enter Magic'.

[You have activated the wayfinding letter, and the target is successfully locked.] 】

[The envelope took off automatically and flew in the direction of the Red Rose Academy.] The letter is expected to be delivered in 20 minutes ......]

After delivering the letter, Mu You took the submarine to the Chengdong Reservoir, and returned to the grandmother through the teleportation array under the reservoir.

Immediately, he quit the game and ordered a batch of things for the elderly on the shopping website.

Electrical appliances cannot be used in the Star Spirit Realm, and the rules of the two worlds are different, medicines and health products cannot be eaten indiscriminately, and the grandmother just looks old, but in fact, her body is much healthier than many young people on the earth.

So in the end, Mu You only picked out some daily necessities that did not use electricity, beds, shoes, hats, kitchenware and the like.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Mu You was woken up by Lu Yao's phone call again.

When I went downstairs, I saw that Lu Yao, who was still dressed as a witch apprentice, had already appeared at the door of the store.

"Of these, you can pick three."

Mu You yawned and took out five pieces of fine equipment that were not used in the ring.

"So much!"

Lu Yao opened her mouth wide in surprise and looked at him: "Then do you want to shoot the rest?" ”

"Well, just wait, don't ...... for the time being"

Mu You shook his head, now he has a lot of idle sophisticated equipment at hand, but he still wants to wait to see when the synthesis furnace can be repaired, and then combine these idle equipment into high-grade equipment.

"Okay......"

Lu Yao heard what he meant, and estimated that he had a way to continue upgrading his equipment, so he didn't force it, and chose three pieces that were useful to her and put them away.

"Have you read the new announcement in the early morning?" Before leaving, Lu Yao suddenly asked.

"Announcement?" Mu You was stunned, he slept peacefully all night, just woke up, and didn't know anything.

"Let's take a look at the game, a new announcement has just been made in the game at four o'clock, and the forum is noisy." Lu Yao said.

"Oh? I'll take a look at ......"

After seeing Lu Yao leave, Mu You went to brush his teeth and wash his face, opened his mobile phone by the way, and clicked into the game to take a look.

Sure enough, just after the launch, it was a continuous pop-up of several highlighted texts.

[As of 4:00 a.m., number of Arcane Towers destroyed: 19/36.] Time remaining: 4 days, 20 hours and 3 minutes. 】

[In view of the fact that the completion progress of the limited-time mission 'Destroy Arcane Tower' has exceeded 50%, and the remaining time limit is less than seven days, the incentive condition will be triggered.] 】

[Reinforcement Mission Released: Looking for the Lost City in the Sky.] 】

[Target: All Fools.] 】

[Mission Time Limit: Unlimited.] 】

[Mission Objective: How can the descendants of the fool wander in the realm of other races for a long time?] Forgotten landowners, please go to find the hometown where the Fool's ancestors once lived, and build the Fool's own city on the twelve Sky Ancient Cities! 】

[Mission Description: The map depicting the location of the castle in the sky is divided into nine map fragments, 12 cities, and a total of 108 map fragments.] 36 of them are hidden in the rewards for destroying the Arcane Tower's 'Final Blow', and the rest of the fragments are scattered throughout the Astral Realm. Collect the pieces and piece together a complete map to find the location of the castle in the sky. 】

[Map Fragment Rules:

One, collect three pieces of the same map, and the map content will be displayed.

Second, when all nine fragments of a map fall into the hands of the Fool, arrows will appear on the back of the nine fragments, pointing to the nearest other fragment of the map (in the same plane).

Third, map fragments cannot be bound. When the Map Fragment Carrier is attacked by other Fools, the Tier Suppression is ineffective.

Fourth, when nine fragments converge in one place (no more than 100 kilometers apart from each other) and 'Rule 5' is met, the entrance to the Sky City is opened.

5. The Sky Castle will be opened in the order of Dawn, Dawn, Dawn, Sunrise, Rising Sun, Scorching Sun, Sunset, Dusk, Twilight, Starlight, Dark Night, and Eternal Night.

Sixth, the unowned city in the sky, only the fool and its demons can enter. 】

[Reward: The first fool who touches the crystallization of the inheritance in the center of the sky city will automatically become the first lord of the sky city for a term of one year.] The lord of the castle has the right to appoint other positions such as the deputy lord of the city. Each person, including the lord of the castle, can only hold one position at a time. 】

"Reinforcement Mission ......"

Mu You's brushing action was sluggish.

He guessed correctly, the matter of the map fragments really couldn't be hidden for long.

There is no need for other players to break the news, the game official itself announced this information, and it is in the form of a full-server mission......

These lines of text are extremely informative, Mu You quickly washed up, turned around and read through this task several times, and came to some conclusions.

The first is the reward for this new quest, a word that all players can't refuse: Castle Lord!

The first person to find the castle in the sky will become the lord of the castle!

The text doesn't go into detail about the rights of the city lord, but you can also know that as a position with only twelve billions of players, this right must be amazing!

The lord of the city can appoint the deputy lord and other positions, and these positions are certainly beneficial as well, but each person is limited to only one position...... In other words, when you become the lord of one city, you don't have to think about other cities, and there will be no situation where multiple city lords are all served by the same person.

After the rewards, the most important thing is the six shard rules.

The first one, after collecting three fragments, the map content is displayed, which Mu You already knows.

The second and third rules below seem to encourage the owners of the fragments to compete with each other.

The second is that when all the pieces of the same map appear, each piece can point to the direction of the other pieces. To put it bluntly, it is a naked seduction of the owner of the shard, to find and snatch other people's shards.

However, there is a parenthetical condition in this article, and the arrow of the guide is limited to the same face......

In other words, the fragments on the earth will only point to other fragments located on the earth, and the fragments of the astral realm will only guide within the scope of the astral realm.

The Star Spirit Realm is okay, the traffic is not smooth, and the enchantment level is everywhere, monsters are rampant, and there is only a slim direction to guide it, and it is very difficult to find other fragment owners in the huge Star Spirit Realm.

However, on the globalized earth, due to the convenience of transportation and the development of information, as long as there is a fragment in hand, it is easy to locate the location of other fragment owners in a short time.

Therefore, with the restriction of this rule, Mu You's two fragments cannot be kept on his body in the future, and he needs to be stored in the game as much as possible, otherwise he may be found at any time.

The third rule is even more brutal: Map fragments cannot be bound, and when the person carrying the fragment is attacked by other fools, there will be no hierarchical suppression!

The inability to bind means that the fragment can be exploded by killing, and the fragment owner is not suppressed by other fools when attacked, which is equivalent to a kind of protection for the fragment owner, avoiding those weak fragment carriers from being manipulated by expert players.

At the same time, if two shard carriers attack each other, then there is no hierarchical suppression between each other, which greatly reduces the combat power gap between low-level players and high-level players, and low-level players also have the opportunity to counter-kill high-level players to grab shards.

If the second one is just to seduce players to compete with each other, these three are almost written on their faces, "You guys hurry up and fight".

The remaining four, five, six.

There is nothing to say about Article 6, the unactivated Sky City can only be entered by the Fool, this is to ensure that the first City Lord must be obtained by the Fool, so as not to fall into the hands of other clans.

The fourth and fifth articles are all about the rules for opening the entrance to the sky city.

If you want to enter Sky City, you don't have to collect three map fragments to complete it, you also need to gather the owners of nine fragments in one place to open the entrance.

At the same time, there is also the order of opening between cities, and the previous opening must be completed, and the next one can only be opened after the castle lord is possessed.

And the city that is in the first place is the City of Dawn, where Mu You already has two fragments!

In other words, only after the battle for the lord of his Dawn City is over, can the battle for the next Dawn City be opened, and then the dawn and sunrise will be...... The twelve cities are postponed in turn, until all the cities have a city lord, and the quest is over.

"It seems to be urgent......

Mu You exhaled, he was still thinking of slowly searching for information and fragments of Auroville, but when the mission was released, Auroville City bore the brunt of the first place.

Mu You took out two map fragments and looked at them.

At this moment, the two fragments are still wrapped in black fog, and there are no arrows to show them, which means that all nine fragments of Auroville have not yet been found.

But this is only temporary, as the head of all the sky cities, the battle for the city of dawn is imminent, even if he wants to be slow, the others will definitely collect the fragments of the city of dawn as fast as possible, nine pieces, it is possible to find them at any time, and the competition for the pieces may start at any time.

Mu You saved the fragments back into the game, then quit the game and switched to the forum to take a look.

Sure enough, at this time, the forum was already arguing about the announcement just now.

"Collect all map fragments at a high price, have a private chat, and the reward will definitely satisfy you!"

"Alas, I finally broke the tower, I was just going to salted fish for a few days to enjoy the game, and I was going to rob the city lord again!"

"Damn, the last blow of the broken tower actually rewarded such an important thing, don't say it earlier, say it early that I'm going to grab one and come back!"

"Save it, what does the city robber have to do with ordinary players? It's a stage for bigwig competition, and ordinary people get involved in it, and they don't know how to die......"

"I don't have shards, so I want to ask the big guys who have shards if they need leg hair? I'll support you with all your money, as long as you give me the position of deputy city lord when the time comes......"

"I have a fragment of the City of Twilight, which I got by chance when I was exploring a secret realm a few days ago, and I knew that I couldn't compete with the top bosses, so I made a move, and I wanted a private chat, don't disturb if it's not sincere."

After some browsing, Mu You quickly saw a post with fragments, and hurriedly clicked in to take a look.

"Really? Does the landlord really have shards? It can't be a fishing sticker, right? ”

"Can you put up a map, I just want to see what the map fragments look like?"

"I really ask, in what secret realm did the landlord find the fragments?"

……

This post is really popular enough, and the number of replies soared to hundreds in an instant.

Mu You flipped down, and on the hundredth floor below, the owner of the post appeared and posted a blurry photo, which was comparable to the ancient quality of a mosaic, which made people extremely suspicious of the authenticity.

However, this picture is not clear to others, but Mu You recognized it at a glance, it is indeed a map fragment, but because of the black fog on the surface, the shooting is not clear, it seems that this is really not a fishing sticker.

Then, a few dozen floors down, the owner of the post reappeared, revealing the source of his fragment: it was found in a secret realm near Dusk City!

As a result, this reply made everyone blow up.

This city of twilight is not the city of twilight. The City of Dusk, the home of the Fool, has vanished.

Dusk City is a seaside city on the border of the Lanel Empire, and it enters the second largest pass of the empire by water, and Mu You drove the Ghost through there before traveling.

"You found the fragments of the City of Dusk? Such a coincidence? ”

"Damn, it's all called dusk, shouldn't there be a connection between these two cities?"

"Could it be that the City of Twilight is hidden near the City of Twilight? So its map fragments are also scattered nearby? ”

"Quite possibly!"

"Wait a minute, in this case, there are many cities with similar names, such as Sun City and Sun City, Sunset City and Sunset City......"

"And the Dark City located underground, will it correspond to the Night City or the City of Eternal Night or something......"

"In other words, if you go around these cities, it is possible to find the fragments of the corresponding ancient city?"

"Perhaps......"

……

The post immediately followed with a debate on the issue.

"Is there a correspondence between Sky City and the existing cities in the Astral Spirit Realm......

Mu You touched his chin.

Not to mention, it's really possible!

He wasn't sure about anything else, but the Dark City, the territory of the Dark Elves, and their leader, the Dark Queen, happened to have a fragment of the City of Eternal Night in his hand......

In this way, exploring near cities with similar names does have a chance to find the corresponding map fragments!

But in this case, where does Dawn City correspond?

Mu You recalled that among the Star Spirit Realm cities he currently knew, there didn't seem to be anything that could be linked to the name Dawn......

"Looks like that question was really the right one last night......"

Mu You exhaled, last night he asked for the information of Silent Niang Sky City, and then as long as he can enter the library she said, he will have the opportunity to get information about Dawn City.

And finding the location of Dawn City will allow him to explore the map fragments nearby, and if he finds one more fragment, he will be able to open the map......

This one is not in a hurry.

Mu You returned to the forum and flipped through the international section to take a look.

In the domestic forum, because the tower has been pushed, everyone can discuss the big melon of Sky City with peace of mind, and in the international forum, the hot topic is still dominated by the tower.

No wonder this new mission is called 'Reinforcement Mission', as soon as this mission is announced, the progress of pushing towers, which has been somewhat stagnant in various countries, has begun to improve rapidly!

With the attraction of the reward of 'map fragments', many master players who have already completed the mission are willing to go to other countries to help push the tower, and try to compete for the map fragments by the way.

Inspired by the mission, it seems that for the first time, a global alliance has been achieved between players from all over the world.

In the midst of this global cooperation, the progress of tower pushing everywhere is like a rainbow, and in just three hours since the mission was released, two more towers have been bulldozed, and there are still seven towers left, and the durability has been reduced to less than 50%.

According to this progress, it is estimated that within today, except for a few arcane towers in Australia, Indonesia, North America, etc., which are taken care of by the wizarding association, other towers will have a chance to be pushed down.

And now those countries where legendary masters have appeared are also crazy about Aite 'Ghost Captain' and 'Red Scythe Maiden', asking the two legendary masters to help.

Especially the North American players, one of the spokespersons of the big forces, posted more than a dozen posts in a row, openly shouting 'Captain Ghost', hoping that he could go to North America to help push down the tower, the door was ready, and even made it clear that as long as the tower was pushed away, he was guaranteed to give him the final blow.

Mu You flipped through the backstage and took a look, and sure enough, it was full of 999+ private messages, all of which invited him to push the tower, and there were IDs from all over the world.

After blocking non-friends, only private messages from Jiuyou were left in the mailbox.

The news of Jiuyou is similar, politely asking him if he has any intention of making a move, as many as more than 20 foreign forces have launched an urgent request for help to the Celestial Empire, hoping to arrange for two legendary-level bigwigs to make a move, and the reward will be mentioned casually.

Looking at Jiuyou's private message, Mu You shook his head helplessly.

He wanted to make a move, and then go to another arcane tower to collect the final blow and get the fragments, relying on the time pocket watch, there was a great chance to directly gather the fragments of Dawn City.

It's a pity that he can't come forward at all.

One is that he wants to go to other countries to help, and he can only go through other people's doors, and this means that he has to expose his identity in front of people, which Mu You will never agree.

Moreover, without the support of other mystics, even if Vivien's body is resurrected again, it will not be able to reach too high a level, and if it can't defeat the legendary elders of the wizarding association, it will expose their details, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Mu You directly replied to Jiuyou and declined all invitations.

After closing the forum, Mu You glanced at the time, half past seven in the morning, and said that there was a date at eight o'clock in the game......

Switching back to the game, Mu You had breakfast at his grandmother's house.

A bowl of colorful rice porridge was put into the stomach, the action power was restored to full value, and after saying goodbye to his grandmother, Mu You controlled the characters to return to the imperial capital.

【…… You swim all the way from the bottom of the reservoir to the shore, and you don't rush to show up, hiding in the distance, and quietly peeking out through the cover of the embankment. 】

[You see a long-haired girl in a magic academy uniform pacing anxiously on the bank by the cobblestone river of the reservoir embankment. 】
