Chapter 243: The Dark Arts Club
[The girl in the distance has an outstanding appearance and tall figure, her waist-length black hair is tied into a double ponytail with two red headbands, and in addition to the standard uniform, short skirt and over-the-knee socks of the Academy of Magic, she is wearing a bright red coat, which looks dignified and elegant...... The only thing that is somewhat incompatible with this dignity is the pair of plush slippers on her feet. 】
[Obviously, the girl came in a little hurry, and the boots didn't have time to be changed.] 】
[Unknown (Level 18), Strength: 95, Dexterity: 39, Intelligence: 92, Constitution: 32, Health: 8200, Mana: 10200, Luck: -2.] 】
"Level 18......"
Mu You looked at the information fed back by the omniscient crystal and was slightly stunned.
The other party's level is actually not unexpected, but the attributes are a bit outrageous.
The standard attribute of level 18 should be 157 points, but the opponent's total attribute is as high as 258 points!
In other words, the opponent has more than 100 additional attributes, which are obtained through foreign objects and equipment......
And, as a magician, what kind of trouble are you going to make with your strength being higher than your intelligence?
Mu You tried to observe the other party's outfit, but unfortunately all the equipment seemed to be hidden by the uniform, but he also knew that there were definitely a lot of superb equipment around.
[After confirming that there was no one else around, you chose to walk out of the embankment and took the initiative to approach the girl.] 】
[When the girl noticed someone approaching, she immediately raised her wand and pointed it at you, asking with a vigilant face, if you were the one who delivered the letter last night. 】
[You nod your head in acknowledgement, indicating that you have no malicious intent, and explain to the other party the situation of making the demon cat.] 】
[Knowing that you are actually a fool, and her cat has actually been left in the land of oblivion, the other party is vigilant again. 】
[After some hesitation, the other party did not directly believe your words, but asked you to show evidence to prove that her demon was indeed in your hands. 】
"Is the evidence ......?"
Mu You was not surprised, took out the photo crystal from the game, went back to the house to face Coke who was still sleeping lazily on the bed, and recorded a video of the all-round and multi-angle video, and then went to the gate and recorded the scene of the traffic outside the door, proving that this is indeed a forgotten place, which sent the photo crystal back to the game.
[You give the photo crystal to the other party.] 】
[After the girl checked, her brows furrowed, and her gaze at you became more and more vigilant. 】
[The girl suddenly bluntly said that you are a liar, this is not her cat at all! 】
"Oh roar!"
Mu You's eyelids jumped, and the most worrying thing happened: the owner of Coke really didn't know her cat!
Mu You is actually completely understandable about this, just now the fat house cat on the bed, and the slender and vigorous beauty at the beginning, he will identify it, and he will definitely not believe that this is the same one.
"Coke!"
He shouted upstairs, but Coke didn't respond.
Mu You turned his head and pressed the cat food machine, the ears of the cola in his sleep moved, and he ran downstairs in less than two seconds, preparing to cook, but ran to the automatic feeding machine, only to find that the food bowl was empty, and couldn't help but look at Mu You suspiciously: Where is my rice?
Mu You threw the photo crystal to it: "Your master doesn't know you anymore, find a way to recognize her!" ”
"Meow?"
Hearing this, Coke looked incredulous, and hurriedly hugged the crystal and cried: "Master, it's me meow, I'm Ke...... No, I'm a Sphinx, a little cutie who has been with you for seven years, why don't you know me anymore, I miss you every day......"
Coke cried at the camera, but unfortunately the photo crystal can only leave images and ordinary cat meows, and the sound of the mind can't be worn through, Coke hurriedly sold all kinds of cuteness to the camera, and posed like he used to be coquettish to the owner.
After two minutes of recording, Mu You put away the crystal and sent it back to the game.
[You give the photo crystal back to the girl.] 】
[After the girl saw it, she fell into a long silence ......]
Mu You is now very worried that the other party will suddenly say something like 'don't want the cat, you can tear up the ticket'.
Fortunately, no, this lady from another world is still responsible.
[Suddenly, the girl sighed and asked if you could bring the Sphinx over. 】
Of course, there is a way, you can go back and forth between the two worlds at any time through the door, but this trouble-saving method has huge side effects, once it is sent back, Coke basically has no ability to increase life.
Mu You glanced at Coke, and the omniscient crystal showed that it still had more than fifty years of life, but it is difficult to say how much of the original lifespan in these more than fifty years, you must know that the life span of the cat itself is not long.
Then Mu You typed and truthfully informed the other party of the situation.
To his surprise, the other party actually had a way.
[The girl nodded and said that it was no problem, since the Sphinx was originally a creature in the astral spirit realm, as long as she sent it back, she had a family secret method of space, which could flip the dimensional characteristics of the creature back to the original location, so as to get rid of the influence of the 'door'......]
The girl came to a description that looked quite tall, and Mu You said that she didn't understand it at all.
However, as the owner, they all said that there was a way, so Mu You didn't care, and made an appointment with the other party to bring the cat to her the next time she entered the door.
[You have agreed with the girl to hand over the pet, the girl is also a noble daughter with a head and a face in the star spirit world, so naturally she will not let you work in vain, ask what you need in return, and she will try her best to help you achieve it. 】
Mu You's raising Coke is not a return for anything, but he does have something to ask the other party for help now.
After thinking about it for a while, Mu You entered two requirements in the game.
First, when he enters the door in a few days, borrow the other party's fire spirit and use it.
Second, help him get an admission certificate for Red Rose Academy.
Borrowing the fire spirit, of course, is to refine some high-level potions that require fire spirits, such as the washing potion that the maid asked him to refine before.
The entrance certificate is for the purpose of entering the magic academy to study magic, and by the way, he will find a chance to see where the library that Silent Niang told him is.
[The girl was a little surprised when she heard your request, only the potions master who wanted to use the fire spirit, and she couldn't believe that you were also a potions master. 】
[After thinking for a moment, the girl agreed to your request.] However, because the Academy of Magic has now passed the enrollment period, with her relationship, she can only apply for the qualification of an off-campus auditor for you, and you can enter the academy to listen to classes, but you cannot be regarded as a formal student, and you cannot enjoy the treatment of a normal academy student. 】
He only has the qualification to audit, and Mu You has no opinion on this at all, but it is better to say that this is more suitable for him, no one is in charge, and he can freely choose what magic class to listen to, and he does not have to go through the admission procedure from the beginning.
[After the girl finished speaking, she hurriedly left the reservoir and waited for her good news. 】
It takes time to apply for admission, and after the owner of the cola left, Mu You also manipulated the character to go back to Four Leaves Street and retrieve the scout beetle that was released last night.
[The Scout Beetle has returned to you and reported to you the valuable information that was eavesdropped last night.] 】
[At yesterday's palace banquet, the reconstruction of the ruins in the south of the city was put on the agenda......]
[It is rumored that the royal family of the Lanel Empire intends to auction the land in the southern area of the imperial capital......]
[The secret of the Eli family was exposed, and an insider revealed that the patriarch of the Eli family had thirteen illegitimate children outside......]
[The special rectification activity of the Ivy League's 'underage wizards' bad behavior was officially launched......]
……
What the beetle overheard, it was basically gossip lace news, there were more than 20 pieces in total, Mu You patiently read them one by one, but he really found one of interest.
[In the early morning, two church people met secretly outside the back wall of the Broken Cup Bar on Four Leaves Street, and revealed a secret in the conversation: after the Wizards Association was expelled from the imperial capital, the 'Black Magic Club', which was originally suppressed and hunted by wizards, resurfaced, and agreed to start at eight o'clock in the morning, in the underground church near the abandoned cemetery in the south of the city, a dark wizard meeting will be held, and there will be senior dark wizards to teach the members black magic. 】
"Dark Arts Club?"
Mu You was a little surprised, the imperial capital was the base camp of the Wizards Association before, and under the nose of the Wizards Association, there was still a secret organization that studied black magic lurking, which was really amazing.
According to the text, this organization was suppressed by the Wizards Association before, and now the Wizards Association has been driven out, and this long-suppressed organization can finally show its head and be active, and it is still entangled in personnel to teach black magic......
Mu You was a little interested.
As the heir of the Dark Wizard Leader Calamity Witch, this gathering is a logical must-see.
【…… You donned your cloak of invisibility and made your way to the south of the Imperial Capital. 】
[After a great battle the day before yesterday, this once prosperous area has become devastated, full of broken walls and debris of buildings burned by fire. 】
[You search all the way down the abandoned streets, and soon you come to the vicinity of the cemetery. 】
[On the south side of the cemetery, you found a collapsed church building, and in front of the dilapidated church gate, two missionaries dressed as churches stood guard in front of the door, vigilantly staring at the surrounding intersections. Is it close? 】
"No."
[You choose to observe from a distance.] 】
[A moment later, you see a congregant dressed in church clothes, sneakily approaching the door of the abandoned church, lifting his sleeve robe, showing the black mark on his arm to the two people at the door, and being let go by the two.] 】
Mu You glanced at the time, it was eight twenty-five at this time, and the assembly inside should have begun.
But don't be in a hurry, this meeting is not for anyone to enter, you need church people to enter the door, and you also need an internal seal, even if you force your way in, people will just break up and run away, he won't get anything.
After thinking about it, Mu You manipulated the character to leave the place, circled around the abandoned church, and sure enough, he found something else.
You have come to the back door of the abandoned church. 】
[You see two low-level church people dressed as followers, carrying another believer out of the back door, this carried believer wrapped in a layer of black gas, the whole body is like a gossamer, and the surface of the body is also under the effect of black gas, constantly growing out of various strange tumors. Apparently, he has been infected by the dark magic and is suffering from uncontrollable pain. 】
[The two disciples threw the out-of-control followers into a dirt pit behind the door.] 】
[You get closer, and you find that inside the pit, there are already a large number of bone remnants that have been corroded and dissolved by black magic. 】
[And the cultist who had just been thrown in, the loss of control on the surface of his body continued, and it became more and more rapid, and large monster tumors emerged from his body. It won't be long before he will follow in the footsteps of those who have gone out of control before, and his body will be corrupted by the black magic and completely disappear into the Star Spirit Realm. 】
[Seeing that the body of the believer was beginning to decompose, the two corpse throwers swept around, and after confirming that there was no one around, they turned around and returned to the church. 】
Rally at the front door, throw the body at the back door?
Mu You looked at these game texts and immediately remembered the Sen Ling he had met in the Black Forest before.
At that time, the spirit told them that it was a church member holding a white cross who disturbed the Black Forest and caused the spirit to go out of control.
Now the incident happened right in front of the church...... In this way, this 'Black Magic Club' may have been created by the church personnel who destroyed the Black Forest.
didn't have time to think about it, after the two corpse throwers left, Mu You decisively opened the panel and clicked on the 'telescopic chain claw'.
[You throw out the telescopic chain claw, hook the runaway in the pit, and quickly hook it back to you.] You then drag the body and hide behind a ruin. 】
[At this time, the runaway person has completely died, and the black magic power in his body gradually overflows, and the body is also eroded by the black magic power, and it begins to gradually disappear. 】
[If you use the Heart of the Spirit, you may still have time to stop this erosion.] Do you use the Heart of the Spirit to decontaminate? 】
"Yes."
Absorbing black magic will increase the pollution of the Forest Spirit's Heart, but it doesn't matter if it's just such a corpse, the degree of aggravation is negligible in terms of the capacity of the Forest Spirit's Heart.
[You take out the heart of the spirit. The forest spirit core, which had turned pitch black inside, immediately began to play a role, and black qi was sucked out from the inside of the corpse, pouring into the core......]
[The out-of-control symptoms on the surface of the corpse quickly disappeared, and it quickly returned to its normal form.] 】
[The level of contamination of the Heart of the Forest Spirit has increased by 0.0001%, and it is now: 99.8132%. 】
Mu You twitched out of the corner of his eyes, absorbing a person's pollution, only increasing the pollution by one millionth.
Mu You's mission is to reduce the pollution of the heart of the forest spirit by more than 10% within one year......
He was suddenly a little worried about whether this task would be completed within a year.
Mu You shook his head, now is not the time to think about this.
As soon as the contamination is cleared, a new hint pops up in the game.
[You groped around the corpse and found the skin of the 'Holy Light Cultist', did you extract it immediately?] 】
[Cultists of the Holy Light: The lowest level of the Church of the Holy Light, who have an extremely devout belief in the Church, are responsible for handling the miscellaneous matters assigned by the Church, and accumulate meager contributions in anticipation of the distant road to promotion. When unleashing Holy Light magic, the power is increased by 30%, and the speed of learning Holy Light magic is increased by 40%. 】
It's also a low-level skin, with no lifespan quests, but a decent talent with a high bonus to Holy Light magic.
In order to enter the church, this skin must be fused, but the upper limit of the skin is only six, and Mu You is now full.
Vampires, Watchmen, Herb Pickers, and Fortune Tellers, none of the four skins with lifespan quests can be moved, and the next opportunity to enter the academy will also come in handy.
So after thinking about it for a while, Mu You still decided to feed the most useless fisherman skin to the vampire.
[You fused the fisherman skin into the vampire count skin.] 】
[The fusion is successful, the fisherman's skin disappears completely, and your vampire skin has a new talent 'Water Mastery': you move 30% faster underwater than the average person.] 】
[Curse randomly hit...... Vampire Skin Received the Curse 'Snake Fear': You have an inexplicable fear of snake creatures, and when you encounter snake monsters, all stats are reduced by 1. 】
Mu You raised his eyebrows, because the talent of the fisherman is not strong, so the curse effect randomly released after the fusion will not be strong there, the full attribute is reduced a little, and it is only for snake monsters, after the attribute is high, this drop is almost negligible.
However, this is still a very uncomfortable curse for Mu You, because his attributes need to be accurately stuck in the ratio of 123, and the reduction of all attributes by one will definitely destroy the balance of his attributes.
"Backtracking."
Mu You pressed the pocket watch and cursed again.
Sure enough, the next curses were similar to the first one, and the effects were very weak, and after Mu You randomized more than a dozen times, he finally randomly found one that had no negative effect on the battle.
[You have obtained the curse 'Big Stomach': You eat twice as much as normal people, and you hunger twice as fast as others, so it's best to keep food rations on your body to avoid starvation.] 】
The amount of food is doubled compared to others, and this curse is still quite painful for the low-level residents of the Star Spirit Realm, but it is not painful for the skin, and it is just a matter of increasing the cost of food at ordinary times, as long as it does not affect the battle.
You have obtained the Light Cultist skin. 】
After the fusion was completed, Mu You immediately picked up the disciple's skin, changed it on the spot, and then manipulated the character to go to the front door.
[Dressed as a religious and wearing a thousand faces, you return to the main entrance of the abandoned church and show the marks on your arms to the two missionaries guarding the door. 】
[Without much thought, the two missionaries approved your membership in the 'Dark Arts Club', asked you to come early next time, and then let you enter the church.] 】
[Entering the church, you see a priest holding a black cross preaching black magic behind the pulpit. The rows of benches on the left and right sides below were already filled with Holy Light Cultists dressed like you, and everyone was listening attentively. 】
[In addition, on both sides of the church, there are several pastors and choir members, vigilantly observing the every move of the people listening to the lecture in the church. 】
[You notice that a disciple on the left who is listening to the lecture suddenly trembles, a faint black gas begins to emerge from his body, and the familiar octopus sucker begins to grow on the surface of his body, it is obvious that this person has just lost control. 】
[The pastor and choir singer next to him immediately rushed up, suppressed the out-of-control person, released a spell of purifying the spirit on him, and cooperated with the choir singer's chanting, so that the runaway person forcibly quieted down and fell asleep in pain.] 】
[Two cultists appear after him, taking the runaway away from the scene.] The whole process did not cause any commotion, and the other cultists were all immersed in the study of the dark arts as if they had not seen it. 】
"It's all an assembly line......"
Mu You secretly complained.
Obviously, these people are not really trying to teach dark arts, but are just using these low-level cultists as consumables and engaging in some kind of research.
As for what he was studying, Mu You didn't bother to care, he was here to gather wool.
Other people risk learning dark magic out of control, but he doesn't.
If others dare to teach, he will dare to learn.
[You sit down in the empty seat in the last row and begin to comprehend the dark arts. 】
[The dark magic that the priest teaches today is: the low-level black magic 'Giant's Fist' of the earth system. Because you have a secret art crystal, you can learn dark magic faster by 100%. 】
[During study, it is expected that the comprehension will be completed in 14 hours......]
