Chapter 378: A Lightless Night

At the bottom of the post, there is also an image attached.

On the table in the picture, there are eight map fragments, arranged in a standard octagonal shape, and the arrows on the back of the eight fragments all point to the center point.

Mu You clicked on the picture and took a closer look, it was indeed a map fragment, and the pointing of the arrows was also arranged quite like that.

However, does that mean that all eight fragments are from Eternal Night? Mu You expressed his skepticism, otherwise, how could the three eternal night fragments on his body be explained?

There are only nine fragments in each city, and there are eleven pieces in eight plus three, and there is no way to repeat the fragments.

Obviously, there must be some fragments of other born cities mixed in.

However, since the other party dared to come out so blatantly to make a post, there should be a lot of eternal night fragments in his hand, even if the remaining six fragments were in the other party's hands, he was not surprised.

Mu You looked back at the post and found the poster column.

Scarlet Dawn, Tyrant.

Both names look somewhat familiar.

Mu You searched in the forum, and sure enough, he immediately found a large number of results.

Scarlet Dawn, a first-class force in a certain country in South America, ranks twenty-sixth in the world power rankings, and its strength alone is not particularly outstanding.

However, the area that this South American country is dealing with in the Astral Spirit Realm happens to be the Dark City, which is what most people now think is the hidden place at the entrance to the Eternal Night City, no wonder they are so confident in taking the Eternal Night City, it turns out that they have taken advantage of the territory.

This is similar to the situation when the Dragon Group Ice Emperor won the sunset and dusk in the first place, and the entire power of the people is rooted here, and the local operation is deeply rooted, and it is impossible for the forces of other countries to intervene.

Therefore, the competitors faced by the Dragon Group Ice Emperor at the beginning were almost all other domestic forces, and the foreign forces were all very interested in giving up these two cities automatically.

And this time, the situation in the Undercity is even simpler, because Scarlet Dawn is the only first-class organization in their country, and it is almost single-handedly covering the sky in the country, and there are no competitors at all.

At the same time, the president of this guild' Tyrant', is also a player with outstanding personal strength, the current level is 21, is currently one of the few epic players in the world, in addition, it is said that the tyrant has a very powerful wolf king skin, and relying on this skin, he led all the aboriginal werewolves in the Dark City, established an underground werewolf tribe, and his subordinates also brushed each other's fragments and other methods, each of them has a werewolf skin, and some high-level guild personnel also have various advanced versions of werewolf skins, and it is not an exaggeration to call this organization a wolf's den.

And this also means that the actual power of Scarlet Dawn in the Undercity is not only their guild itself, but also the entire tribe of aboriginal werewolves!

After reading the search results, Mu You also understood the source of the other party's confidence: in other places, the strength of this guild may not be enough to support them to compete in Sky City, but in Eternal Night City, they are the real dragon bosses, and no other player force can match them.

"The Snake of the Land......

Mu You groaned for a moment.

It's a pity that he doesn't plan to give up in Eternal Night City.

Now that he has three fragments in his hand, the city lord of Eternal Night City is ready to take it down for Lin Xue.

Lin Xue has the Grim Reaper inheritance in his body, and in addition, he has a level 30 shadow ghost at hand that he can use, even if he doesn't have the help of the Octopus King this time, with these two hole cards alone, they are enough to achieve crushing in strength.

After all, the entrance to Sky City can only be entered by fools, and no matter how many werewolf aborigines the other party commands, they can't be used at all in the final competition, as long as they enter the entrance of Eternal Night City, the actual combat power of the other party is still only those of Scarlet Dawn itself.

After roughly understanding the other party's strength, Mu You closed the forum and returned to the game.

After brushing up the number of dungeon copies today, Mu You took out the elven horn.

The Elven Horn had actually been refreshed last night, but he was dealing with the Shadow God at the time, and then he was busy dealing with various real-life things, and he never had time to log in to the game, and only now did he have time to find time.

You blew the elven trumpet. 】

[The Dark Elf Queen Fred Vault Dweller has appeared in front of you and issued you a quest.] 】

[The vendetta of the Lightless Night: Werewolves and vampires are both an important part of the inhabitants of the Undercity, and the feud between the two races dates back to extremely ancient times, and the two races have been fighting each other in the Undercity for thousands of years.

Due to the laws of the Undercity, the two races can barely maintain a superficial peace, but every time a dark night (i.e., a full moon night underground, every time a full moon enters the night on the ground, all light sources in the Undercity will be disabled, and it will become a completely dark night), the werewolves will collectively transform, and the power and perception of the entire race will reach its peak, and this is also a good opportunity for them to hunt vampires.

Therefore, every dark night, when the two races break out to resolve their old feuds, the two sides will fight to the death in the streets and alleys of the Undercity, regardless of the occasion, and in the process of fierce battles between the two sides, they often cause great damage and disturbance to the Undercity itself, as well as other residents, who have been annoyed for many years.

And now it coincides with the opening of the vampire clan's millennium clan meeting, a large number of vampires from other places have poured into the Dark City, and at the same time, a new wolf king has been born among the werewolves, leading the scattered werewolf tribe. It is foreseeable that the intensity of the battle between the two sides will reach its peak on this dark night, and the patience of the inhabitants of the Undercity for the two races will also reach its peak.

As the ruler of the Undercity, Fred could not undermine the Undercity's principles of 'freedom and openness' and expel one of the parties from the city, so he had to entrust the Fool to act in secret. 】

[Mission content: Stop the dispute between the two sides on the night of the next dull night!] Six days later, it's the dark night of the month, and you can choose to help either the vampire or the werewolf and make sure to make the other disappear into the Undercity within a week, and permanently solve this hidden scourge for the Undercity. 】

[Quest reward: Depends on completion.] 】

The horn sounded, but I didn't expect to brush up on a brand new mission for the first time.

The mission on the side of the dark elves is to help solve the problems of the old enemy of werewolves and vampires.

Judging from the description of the mission, the dark queen has obviously endured these two races for a long time, and has long wanted to drive one of them out, but as the city lord of a neutral city, it is not good for her to personally come forward to favor one race and drive the other side away, so it became a task for him.

As for the method of doing the task, it may seem extremely cumbersome, but it is not too difficult to think about it. Vampires and werewolves can coexist in the Dark City for a long time because of their strength, otherwise if one of them is too strong, the other side will be beaten away long ago.

So if you want to complete the task, you only need to destroy the balance of power between the two sides, and he doesn't need to do the rest, and the strong side will naturally drive the weak side away.

This task is relatively novel, but compared to the task itself, what Mu You cares about more is a word in the mission description: Lightless Night!

"The City of Fools will awaken at dawn and end in the dark night."

This was a prophecy given by the maiden.

The first half of this prophecy has been fulfilled, and the city of Dawn was born at dawn, and the other cities in the sky that followed also rose at their respective times.

However, in the second half of the sentence of 'Lightless Night', Mu You has always been puzzled, and can only guess according to the law that Eternal Night City should be born within 2-4 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Of course, this can be explained, but it is a bit far-fetched after all, after all, dawn is a definite period, and the night without light refers to a certain night for a whole night.

It wasn't until now, seeing this line of explanation in the game text with his own eyes, that Mu You understood it: the so-called 'Lightless Night' refers to the night of the full moon in the underground world!

As we all know, the Undercity is a city that never sleeps, and the fluorescent stone and sunflower on the ceiling permanently provide a light source for this underground city, but whenever the moonlight illuminates the earth on a full moon night outside, the underground light source will collectively fail, so that the Undercity will fall into complete darkness.

In other words, the time of the birth of Eternal Night City is not limited to a certain time of day, but to the day of the full moon every month!

After confirming the content of this task, Mu You didn't rush to choose a rule, first pressed the pocket watch, and looked at the other tasks.

The result is still the same, the pigeon fairy is still the same dove, and the forest elves and daylight elves are still the same as before.

After some comparison, it is indeed the most suitable task of the Dark City, after all, it will be the night of the Darkness soon, and if you miss this time, the Eternal Night City will have to wait another month before it can be born.

It just so happened that his competitor this time, the 'Tyrant', was also the leader of a werewolf tribe, and it was directly related to this task, so he simply stayed in the Undercity for the past few days, while dealing with this Scarlet Dawn organization, collecting map fragments, and completing this task by the way.

[You have accepted the 'Lights Night's Feud' quest, please hurry to the Undercity as soon as possible to try to stop the impending dispute between werewolves and vampires.] 】

After taking over the task, Mu You did not rush to the Dark City, but manipulated the character to jump off the Dawn City and return to the Cook Islands.

He hadn't forgotten that there was still a 'Find Louise' mission to be completed here. Louise now knew the fate of the Shadow Ghost in the final experiment, and was likely eliminated in one of their previous battles with the Undead.

And now, at least give the eight pages of the diary to Louise's grandmother, the last relic of the little girl.

Although there is no reward for this task, since you have taken it, you still have to have a beginning and an end.

[You've come to the village of Kuba. 】

[You found Louise's grandmother at the west end of the village, near the residence of the former Granny Tang. 】

[When the old woman saw your arrival, her body trembled, as if she had guessed something, and after losing her mind for a few seconds, she walked towards you nervously. 】

[Coming to you, the old woman carefully asks you about Louise's whereabouts, and you choose ......]

The options are "Tell the Truth" and "Weave a Beautiful Lie".

The Undead Society was destroyed, and there was no need to hide it at this time, so Mu You directly chose to 'tell the truth'.

[You told the truth about what you saw and heard in the Society of the Dead, and gave the old woman eight fragments of Louise's diary. 】

[The old woman held the diary pages with trembling hands, looking at the familiar handwriting on it, she couldn't help but cry, and the already old figure seemed to be more than ten years old. 】

[After reading the diary, the old woman has learned about her granddaughter's experience and ending over the years, although the sadness is unspeakable, but there is finally a result, she no longer has to be anxious and wait day after day......]

Mu You also sighed when he looked at the text description, this kind of thing is very tragic, but such things happen almost every day at the bottom of the Star Spirit Realm, and there is only so much he can do.

Shaking his head and putting an end to this task, Mu You was about to leave, but at this moment, a new text suddenly popped up in the game.

You were about to leave, but the old woman suddenly stopped you. 】

[You are a person who keeps your promises, and you have fulfilled her commission from beginning to end, and helped her bring back her granddaughter's relics. The old woman took out a 'Demon Devouring Gu Jar' from her body and wanted to give it to you. 】

[The old woman tells you that now that her shadow has returned, she is ready to leave the sad place of the Cook Islands and see the outside world while she has a few years to live. This Gu worm jar was originally prepared to deal with the people of the Undead Society, but now that the undead will be destroyed, this thing is no longer useful to her, so she will give it to you as a reward for the mission. 】

[You have obtained the 'Demon Devouring Gu Jar': A poison jar that specializes in cultivating Gu worms, and one Demon Devouring Gu can be born every day.] 】

[Demon Eater Gu: Can be arranged as a trap, or planted as a unit when the body touches, after the Demon Eater Gu enters the body, it will continue to devour the mana in the host's body at a rate of 100 points per second until the mana is less than 10% or the Gu worm is taken out. If you forcibly take the Gu, you will lose 100 HP cap. 】

"Huh?"

Mu You's eyes lit up.

The jar of raising Gu, this thing is good, it automatically produces a Gu every day, and it can be planted for the enemy to disgust people during battle.

Swallowing 100 mana per second is not very deadly, but it will definitely make the enemy uncomfortable if it is delayed for a long time. And if the enemy forcibly takes out the Gu, not to mention that you have to dig out your heart and liver before you can take out the Gu worm, you will permanently lose 100 HP after that...... Anyway, no matter how you choose, as long as the Gu worm is used, it can disgust the enemy.

And when there is no enemy, this Gu can also be used by himself, and with the devouring of the golden silkworm, it is equivalent to five points of action every day, and there is no loss.

Sure enough, it's right that there is a beginning and an end!

Mu You accepted the Gu jar with satisfaction, and then said goodbye to the old woman and left.

After returning to Sky City, he teleported directly to Undercity.

You appear in the Undercity. 】

Since he was on a familiar mission in the Undercity last week, he already had some idea of the city's zoning.

The Undercity is divided into an inner city, where the Dark Elves gather, and an outer city where other races mingle.

Mu You directly manipulated the character to go to the outer city and wander around the street with pumpkin lanterns.

His goal now is to find a werewolf first, then track them down to find their lair and find out what is going on.

Werewolves usually appear in human form, which is difficult to identify, but these guys also like to hide in some dark and remote places to stab civilians and plunder their lives, so Mu You also specializes in patrolling such places at this time.

After an hour of jumping back and forth in some hidden streets nearby, the jack-o'-lantern finally came to the alert.

[Jack-o-lantern effect, trigger!] 】

[You are at the entrance of the narrow dark alley ahead, and you see a few drops of fresh blood scattered on the ground. Through the glow of the jack-o'-lantern, you can see that there are still traces of struggle and dragging on the ground. 】

[Judging from the footprints left at the scene, the victim was most likely a young woman who was attacked by some kind of creature and dragged into the alley. And judging by the freshness of the blood, the attack has just taken place. 】

[This seems to be an opportunity to act bravely, do you immediately trace the traces?] 】
