Chapter 272: High-quality card slots
Luckily, after receiving a fixed task, the other party also gave a side quest, by the way to find a cat for a city resident, and it was 50 prestige to be found in the account, and there was no loss if you couldn't find it.
This kind of task must be taken on without brains.
[You have accepted a temporary mission: to find the lost cat.] 】
You leave Phoenix and head to the Solar Glades. 】
The Sunlight Glade is also one of the new locations unlocked after Mu You's reputation reaches friendliness, located west of Phoenix, not far away, Mu You rode a chocobo for more than ten minutes to get to the place.
You have entered the Solar Glade. 】
[This forest, which has been blessed with eternal spring, is filled with extremely rich arcane energy, and through the sunlight barrier that envelops the forest, it can absorb sufficient light during the day, and it is a gathering place for all kinds of solar creatures, so it will only exude enough vitality when the sun shines. 】
[It's late, the woodland is quiet, the noisy and prosperous daytime sunlight woodland is particularly deserted at night, only a few glowing mushrooms are still acting as a light source, illuminating the way forward for you......]
Sunlight woodland,To put it bluntly, the sunlight elf clan is a place where the children in their clan are used as the initial training place,Most of the monsters in it are very weak,The average is only three or four levels,The highest will not exceed eight levels,And most of them only appear in the daytime,Perfectly fit the characteristics of the sun elves,But it's very unfriendly to outsiders.。
Of course, Mu You didn't expect to level up here, he came here purely for the task, and after entering the forest, he immediately started the search work non-stop.
Fortunately, there are no restrictions on mounts in this forest, and you can directly ride the Landing Bird to do tasks without spending too much physical effort on the road.
After wandering in the forest for more than ten minutes, Mu You finally met the first creature.
[The chocobo's chirping attracts the attention of some strange creatures in the forest, and you see a transparent plankton floating towards you.] 】
[It is a petite creature, only the length of an adult's palm, with a body covered in dragon horns and fish scales, and it flies in the air with its swaying body, like a fish swimming in water.] 】
[Runaway Mana Floating Dragon: Attack 15-21, HP 300, Ability: Floating Dragon Bite.] 】
[Mana Floating Dragon is a gentle creature and generally does not take the initiative to attack other creatures, but the one you see has a scarlet glow in its eyes, which is a sign of loss of control. 】
[The mana floating dragon found you, and let out a scream of "Mi" from his mouth, swinging the dragon's tail wildly, and suddenly speeding towards you! 】
This thing is a kind of gentle pet, not even a level, even if the combat power is still weak after the rage, it can attack gua sha, and there are only three hundred points of blood.
Mu You didn't bother to fight back, and casually clicked an arcane missile in the panel.
[You used an arcane missile on the Mana Floating Dragon.] 】
[Three missiles emerge from the tip of your wand in turn, slicing through a zigzag trajectory, hitting the plankton in mid-air with the precision of a missile.] 】
[In the red glow, the Mana Floating Dragon let out a miserable scream, and its entire body suddenly exuded a brilliance similar to an arcane explosion. After the light faded, the mana floating dragon turned into a thumb-sized crystal and fell to the ground. 】
[You have killed an out-of-control Mana Floating Dragon, reputation +10, and gain Arcane Crystal*1.] 】
There is no experience in killing this thing, and it takes a little action, but fortunately, the dropped items can be exchanged for a year's life, which just offsets the consumption, and in general it is a task to exchange time for prestige.
Next, Mu You continued to manipulate the character to wander in the forest.
The number of this thing is actually not much, the body is still transparent, it is not easy to find in the middle of the night, with the support of his night vision, it takes an average of about ten minutes to search to find one.
After being busy for an hour and a half, Mu You finally killed enough 10 mana floating dragons.
It's a pity that the task of finding the cat still has no clues.
Mu You didn't give up, but he was fifty prestige, and continued to search repeatedly in the forest with a lantern. In terms of finding things, jack-o'-lanterns are also from
I never let him down.
Sure enough, after half an hour of repeated sideways jumping at various intersections in the forest, the jack-o'-lantern was successfully triggered.
[Under the reflection of the cyan glow of the pumpkin lantern, you can see some plum blossom-like footprints on the red maple mud ground under your feet. 】
[The footprints of these small animals, such as cats and dogs, are most likely left by the target you want to track, do you want to track them?] 】
"Tracking."
[You follow the footprints all the way, and finally come to the bottom of a golden-red tree.] 】
[You hear the screams of the mana floating dragon intermittently in front of you, and hurry to the vicinity.] 】
[When you come to the foot of the big tree, you see a black civet cat, staring at you with brass bell-like eyes, and at the feet of the civet cat, there is a scarred mana floating dragon, paralyzed on the ground, swinging the dragon's tail weakly, but unable to take off again, like a fish washed up on the shore, about to dry up and die. 】
[You want to get closer, and the civet immediately meows menacingly, as if to warn you not to approach its prey.] 】
Looking at this situation, it is obvious that the cat ran into the forest to chase the mana floating dragon and played, but forgot to go home.
The text prompts that the cat's aggression is not low, after all, it is the goal of the mission, Mu You didn't force it, he went to take a can of cat cans and sent them to the game, put a trap near the big tree, and put the cat canned food on the trap.
[The civet cat is attracted by the aroma of the food, and meows and trots towards the food in front of you. 】
[The moment he stepped through the trap, the trap suddenly closed, and the civet cat was imprisoned in a wooden cage. The civet broke out and howled, struggling fiercely in its cage. You ignore it and step forward to pick up the cage. 】
[You have obtained the "Lost Chouts" ......]
The mission target was successfully captured, Mu You directly stuffed it into his backpack, and then looked at the mana floating dragon.
You come to the tree. The plankton in front of you has red eyes, and the eyes that look at you are fierce, and it is obviously a runaway mana floating dragon. It's just a pity that it is too badly injured and is already on the verge of disappearing. ...... you choose]
Three options: [Heal It], [Kill It], [Leave It Alone].
Leave it alone, it's definitely not going to work, the drop of this thing is worth a year's life.
However, today's mana floating dragon task has reached the upper limit, and Mu You is thinking about whether to save it first and put it away, and then kill it tomorrow, which can save some mission time a little.
Thinking of this, Mu You chose to "treat it".
But what he didn't expect was that some strange text popped up in the game next.
[You pick up the Mana Floating Dragon and want to heal its injuries.] However, the moment the mana floating dragon entered your hand, you felt some familiar fluctuations. 】
[The chaotic flow of magic in the body of the Mana Floating Dragon gives you a feeling that is somewhat similar to those creatures that have been eroded and blackened by the magic of nature......]
"Huh?"
Mu You was stunned for a moment, similar to the blackened creature...... Could it be that the reason why these mana floating dragons are out of control is also due to the inhalation of natural magic?
If that's the case, then maybe it can be used to sort out the chaotic energy into normal energy through the mystical crystals, just like the black magic crystals that were picked up in the Black Forest before.
And when Mu You thought of this, a prompt just popped up in the text.
[You guessed that the loss of control of the Mana Floating Dragon might be related to natural magic, so you tried to use the secret magic crystals to help it sort out the energy ......]
The combing process was quick, and after about ten minutes, the text resurfaced.
[You helped this mana floating dragon sort out the energy, and the scarlet in its eyes disappeared and turned into a normal mana floating dragon. 】
[The Mana Floating Dragon felt the mystical energy in your body, which was a purer and more delicious food than the arcane energy they usually absorbed, and the Mana Floating Dragon wandered around you excitedly, offering to become your contract creature. 】
[Do you accept its contract?] 】
"Healed!"
Mu You was surprised, it seemed that the loss of control of the mana floating dragon was really due to sucking
After getting mixed with the natural energy and helping it heal, this mana floating dragon actually relied on him and took the initiative to make a contract with him!
"Accept." There's no reason why you shouldn't want a pet that comes to your door.
[You accept the contract request of the Mana Floating Dragon, and the contract spell is automatically completed.] 】
[Mana Floating Dragon: After the contract, you can devour a magic circuit and remember, and you can release the magic as you want in battle to assist you in battle, and the magic devoured by the Mana Floating Dragon is equivalent to the magic that is analyzed. Current Growth: Infancy (52/1000): Consumes other Mana Floating Dragons or Arcane Crystals to increase Growth. 】
The text explanation after the contract surprised Mu You: it was actually a contract demon who could assist in battle!
can devour and memorize a magic, this description is somewhat similar to the effect of the arcane ball, Mu You guessed, will the arcane ball be made according to the principle of mana floating dragon?
It's just that the description of the arcane ball clearly mentions that it can only copy ordinary magic and cannot remember black magic, while the description of the mana floating dragon does not mention this limitation......
So Mu You took a secret card of the fireball technique, put it into the game, chose [Feed], and fed it to the Mana Floating Dragon.
[The Mana Floating Dragon swallowed the secret magic card you fed like a cookie.] 】
[After some chewing, the card disappears.] The Mana Floating Dragon successfully memorized the "Little Fireball Technique". 】
"Yes!"
Mu You was stunned, being able to devour black magic represented an extraordinary meaning, especially for their twelve mystics.
Because that means it can be used as a card slot!
"Vivien, have you ever contracted a mana floating dragon before?" Mu You hurriedly went to find Vivian and asked.
"Mana Floating Dragon?"
Vivien shook her head: "The Mana Floating Dragon is a companion creature of the Sunlight Elves, they only recognize the bloodline of the Solar Elves, and even if other races capture the Mana Floating Dragon, they cannot make a contract. What?"
Even Vivien didn't know this?
But it's right to think about it, under normal circumstances, the mana floating dragon cannot be contracted by outsiders, and after the out-of-control mana floating dragon appears, it will be quickly destroyed by the solar elves, and outsiders have no chance to contact it, so even the mystics of the previous generation don't know the secret of the mana floating dragon!
Mu You immediately told Vivien what had just happened in the game.
Vivien was also surprised when she heard this, and then said thoughtfully, "It is said that Mana Floating Dragons naturally pursue purer magical power, and the arcane energy they usually absorb is actually more refined ordinary magical power. However, there is still natural magic in the natural world that is more powerful than arcane energy, and it is even more delicious for mana floating dragons, but the natural magic is too mixed, and it is seriously harmful to creatures that pursue purity like mana floating dragons."
"Therefore, normal mana floating dragons will instinctively reject natural magic, but there are also a few floating dragons with poor self-control, which will unconsciously absorb natural magic power, which will gradually lead to addiction, and then develop into a situation of loss of control......
Mu You also understood what she meant.
Ordinary mana floating dragons repel natural magic, and of course they are not interested in people like him who have secret art crystals, and even instinctively reject him.
But the runaway mana floating dragon itself is a creature that has become addicted to natural magic, and when he feels that Mu You has a large amount of natural magic in his body, and it is pure black magic without side effects, he immediately can't resist the temptation and takes the initiative to make a contract with him.
Thinking of this, Mu You returned to the game and tried to extract the mana floating dragon into reality.
The Mana Floating Dragon is not a real creature, but is technically an energy condensation, similar to a Shadow Ghost, and can be freely accessed through the game.
[At your signal, the mana floating dragon submerged into your body and disappeared. 】
Mu You felt it for a while, and found that next to the secret technique crystal in his mind, a strange dot really appeared, lying on the crystal like a small bug, sucking the pure energy in it.
Mu You stretched out his hand and tried to summon the mana floating dragon.
The next moment, a transparent swim
The dragon emerged from between his hands, spinning around him like a long snake, and as Mu You stretched out his hand, it immediately hovered obediently over his hand.
Mu You took the mana floating dragon into the lock cylinder backpack, found a clearing space, and tested the fireball technique that had just been devoured by it.
The mana floating dragon itself has no magic power, and the magic power in Mu You's body is of course used to cast spells.
As the reserves in the mystic crystals suddenly decreased by a part, the mana floating dragon opened its mouth, and a raging fireball quickly condensed in front of it, and then shot forward.
Not only that, Mu You found that the fireball hit by the mana floating dragon could actually turn in the air according to his mind!
I saw the fireball cross an arc-shaped trajectory, skimming the ground and bombarding the sky, exploding at the top of the space, like a ball of blooming fireworks.
"Is this the effect of magic analysis......
Mu You was thoughtful. After analysis, not only can the power be adjusted freely, but also the direction can continue to be controlled after the spell is played, which is especially useful in actual combat.
Moreover, the magic released by the Mana Floating Dragon does not need to be chanted by itself, and can be used at the same time with other magic, saving worry and effort, and can also achieve some coordination effects, such as wind helping fire or something.
Overall, this Mana Floating Dragon not only provides him with an extra card slot, but it is also a very high-quality card slot!
Mu You immediately returned to the game and continued to look for mana floating dragons, such an excellent replacement for card slots, to contract as many as possible.
[You have discovered a new mana floating dragon, wandering in the grass ahead, you choose ......]
[You took the initiative to attack the Mana Floating Dragon, but instead of killing it directly, you used your vampire's claws to severely damage it......]
[You channel the disordered energy ...... in your body for the mana floating dragon]
[You cured the Mana Floating Dragon, and the Mana Floating Dragon took the initiative to ask for a contract with you......]
Sure enough, as long as they help the mana floating dragon channel the chaos in their bodies, they will take the initiative to contract.
Mu You clicked to agree, looking forward to the addition of a new floating dragon.
However, the following text suddenly poured cold water on him.
[You have successfully contracted this juvenile mana floating dragon. 】
[But before you had time to be happy, you saw the mana floating dragon that had just been contracted take the initiative to appear, and the two mana floating dragons scuffled together. 】
[The first mana floating dragon quickly devoured the new mana floating dragon, and the growth was +5 points.] 】
"Uh......"
Looking at this situation, Mu You had already realized a possibility in his heart: Mana floating dragons could not coexist?
Next, he didn't believe in evil and went to capture a few more to try to contract, but the result was the same, as long as he contracted more than two floating dragons at the same time, he would definitely fight, and then the strong ones would eat the weak ones, so as to increase a certain degree of growth.
Moreover, Mu You found that the mana floating dragons that could be captured were all juvenile, and none of them were mature.
But then I thought about it and understood that this kind of mana floating dragon without self-control has no chance of surviving its infancy at all, and they will get out of control soon after birth, and then be cleaned up as pests.
Mu You shook his head regretfully.
In this way, the Mana Floating Dragon can only add an extra card slot to them.
However, as the Mana Floating Dragon grows and evolves, the amount of magic that can be memorized may increase.
Mu You tried again to feed the Arcane Crystal to the Mana Floating Dragon.
As a result, it is the same as the mana floating dragons devouring each other, but only five growth points are added.
In other words, to raise it to the growth stage, it is necessary to feed more than 180 crystals......
"Take your time......
Mu You exhaled and looked up at the time.
After all the tossing and turning in the game, the time has quietly come to eleven o'clock in the evening, and it will be a new week of secret art meetings soon.
Mu You prepared the cards and items he was going to bring today, and when it came at midnight, he stepped into the portal with the clone.
As the scene changed in front of him, Mu You appeared in the quaint palace again.
At first, he glanced up at the conference table with his usual eyes, but he was slightly surprised: only ten of the twelve seats were full.
The two that are missing are Libra and Capricorn.
"Huh? Libra and Capricorn didn't come either!" The lion was the first to scream.
"What's going on?" The archer asked, "Has anyone seen them both?"
Others shook their heads in disknowledge.
The weekly meeting is one of the most important events for their mystics, and there are no special circumstances, and it is usually not absent, and it is indeed rare for two people not to show up at this time.
Mu You also frowned and looked at the missing two seats.
Capricorn and Libra, these two people are together in reality, it is said that they are still a couple, even if one of them has something, it is said that at least one other person should be arranged to attend the meeting, but the two did not come at the same time...... The only possibility that Mu You could think of was that they had encountered a battle, and it was the kind of emergency battle that they couldn't get out of.
"Anyway, let's start the meeting first."
Mu You opened his mouth and attracted everyone's attention.
"Before I start exchanging cards, let me say two things......
Mu You took out the scorching Sun City fragment from his pocket.
"First of all, I have a map fragment of Sky City here, Sun City No. 9......
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard the sound of his head smacking on the table from the other side.
The lion on the opposite side couldn't care about the embarrassment, covered his nose and said excitedly: "Aries boss!!
