Chapter 404: The Pen of Order
"Little calamity, that's what it means......"
Mu You frowned and looked at the illusory book in front of him.
The description in this essay in front of him does not match the history of the fool he learned from the game.
In the backstory at the beginning of the game The Fools, the Fools are a group of people who are 'unable to release magic', hence the nickname Fools by wizards. The Wizards' Guild refused to share the world with the Fools, so they went to war and built 'high walls' to seal the Fools in the Forgotten Lands.
However, judging from this essay, the fools are not born with the inability to release magic, but after returning from the heavens, they have lost the ability to release magic for some reason.
And the name 'Fool' is not a scornful term given by wizards, but a self-proclaimed name that they have always had. In fact, the original meaning of the name 'Fool' can be seen from the interpretation of his Fool Card, which is a person with an 'adventurous spirit', not a person who cannot use magic.
In addition, the Wizards Association did not start a war because they looked down on the fools arrogantly and felt that the fools were ignorant, but because they were afraid of them, and they were afraid that the fools would recover their vitality and let Sky City fly again and bring disaster to the mainland, so they killed the fools completely......
In short, the background described in this essay and in the game is almost the opposite of each other.
In comparison, Mu You certainly believes in the statement of this essay.
The most obvious point is that the game says that the Fool Ancestors did not have the ability to release magic, but the reality is that all players who enter the game can learn and release magic normally.
Moreover, the natives of the Astral Spirit Realm have never expressed any doubts about the fact that the Fool can cast spells, which shows that they subconsciously assume that the Fool has magical potential.
It can be seen that the background introduction of the game "The Fool" is artificially fabricated by the game designer, and it is deliberately misleading players, perhaps with the purpose of scandalizing the image of the Wizarding Association, so that players will have enough hatred for the Wizarding Association from the heart.
Mu You exhaled and closed the illusory book in mid-air with his wand.
Through the content of this book, as well as the information he had just learned that the fool came from before the Great Calamity, Mu You had already sketched out a general cause and effect in his mind:
The ancestors of the Fool were originally the civilization of the last Astral Spirit Era, and for some reason, they learned of the existence of the Astral Spirit Era, discovered the law of the destruction of the Astral Spirit Realm every 4,000 years, and also found a way to avoid the Astral Era - hide in the Forgotten Lands!
At that time, the 'wall' between the Forgotten Land and the Star Spirit Realm should not have been damaged, and the Cataclysm would destroy the Star Spirit Realm, but it would be blocked by the wall and would not affect the world behind the wall.
So the Fools took the excavated remains of the gods, and four or five thousand years ago, they collectively migrated into the Forgotten Lands, and under the protection of the wall, they survived the Great Tribulation.
After the Cataclysm, the astral realm ushered in a new era, and at this time, the fools of the Forgotten Lands were divided into two factions, let's call them the farming faction and the adventurous faction, among which the 'farming faction' was tired of the strife and risks in the astral realm, and decided to stay in the Forgotten Land without magic to live a stable life, which is probably the ancestor of modern humans.
The other group of 'adventurous faction's fools could not suppress their desire for exploration and knowledge, so they returned to the Star Spirit Realm with the remains of the gods, easily ruled the hundred races, and then supported the human race, using the manpower of the human race, to create twelve sky cities.
Later, it became clear that in the year 2405 of the Star Spirit Calendar, that is, more than 1400 years ago, the fools took Sky City to the high heavens, but they encountered some kind of catastrophe on it, and they could only flee back to the Star Spirit Realm in embarrassment, which also caused a small disaster in the Star Spirit Realm.
After the end of the Little Calamity, the adventurous fools who were sealed with their power were naturally no match for the Wizards Association, and were wiped out by the Wizards Association, and only a few escaped back to the Forgotten Lands.
For more than a thousand years, the Astral Spirit Realm and the Forgotten Lands were at peace with each other.
Until now, thousands of years later, a word game has been born in the Forgotten Lands, allowing countless players to learn about the existence of the Star Spirit Realm, and through soul projection, they have once again set foot in this land......
Mu You let out a long sigh.
It can only be said that the premonition of the black-clothed man was right, and the fools did make a comeback again!
And this time it was more violent and radical than the original fools, hundreds of millions of players rushed into the Star Spirit Realm like locusts, with a revenge mentality that was instigated, instantly stunned the Wizards Association, and in just two years, it re-emerged and restored all Sky Cities!
It can be said that the time for the Wizarding Guild to curb the development of the Fools has passed, and at the current rate of development, it is only a matter of time before they become the overlords of the Star Spirit Realm again.
Now the question is, who exactly created the Fool game?
Are they the adventurers who fled back to Earth thousands of years ago?
If so, are they still alive now?
Unfortunately, this question is destined to be impossible to find in this library.
Mu You shook his head, time was precious, he could only continue to search for information.
In addition to the concepts of big and small disasters, what Mu You needs most urgently now is, of course, the information of the inheritance mission.
The continuous release of the magic shock of the search spell will cause the monster on the roof to be alert, Mu You waited for a while, and after the magic power that overflowed the scene almost dissipated, he cast the spell again, and took the lead in searching for the 'Order Scale', and the result: none.
Backtracked and searched for the 'Book of Order', but the results were still none.
Then he searched for the 'Pen of Order' again.
This time it's finally there!
The golden runes were chained all the way to a bookshelf in front of the left.
Mu You hurriedly walked over to check, and at this time, at the top of this bookshelf, the part connected by chains, an illusory page of paper automatically appeared, the paper looked yellowed and broken, obviously old.
Mu You reads the contents of the paper, which is an excerpt from a wild history book called "Desert Chronicle".
“…… In the year 2811, the famous desert emperor Leas Caesar bought a magical pen from a parade vendor, which was said to be a divine artifact with the power to rewrite the order of all things, but the vendor also warned him that it was a cursed artifact, and that all who used it, without exception, would suffer from the torture of all catastrophes and die...... It's a pity that Caesar didn't listen to the advice, he used the magic pen to turn the desert into an oasis, created the most powerful army in the world, fought in the north and south on his behalf, and finally unified the desert and established the kingdom of Caesar...... Unfortunately, in the second year after Caesar became emperor, he and his entire kingdom disappeared into the desert overnight, and no one has heard of him since, and the magic pen has evaporated with him......"
"In the desert?"
Mu You was stunned.
The 'pen' mentioned on this page is probably the pen of order.
This desert emperor obviously suffered a backlash because of the abuse of the artifact, and even the whole country followed him to death, and the magic pen disappeared with him.
But now, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and there is no mention of where this magic pen has gone, and whether it has been picked up by others, and all clues are interrupted here.
Fortunately, no matter what, he was finally given a direction to investigate.
'Radar Caesar', Mu You remembered the name, then canceled the magic power, waited for a while, and after the magic power shock dissipated, he waved his staff again to cast a spell.
It was 0:50 a.m., and before he knew it, the two-hour time was coming to an end, and the group of silent beasts on the roof of the building was about to return from the moon viewing, and he had to hurry.
The golden runes resurfaced again, and this time Mu You's search was: Divine Remains.
The myriad characters around them began to spin again, but this time it seemed to be extraordinarily long.
The golden runes lingered for nearly ten minutes before they finally stopped.
What made Mu You dumbfounded was that more than two dozen golden chains were formed at the scene, leading to different directions.
"Rub, so much?"
Mu You was surprised, he thought that the divine remains of the Star Spirit Realm would be very rare, but he actually found so much content?
The embarrassing thing is that time is about to run out at this moment, and Mu You seems to be able to hear the breathing of the silent beasts on the roof of the building as they begin to move.
Before he had time to think about it, Mu You hurriedly activated his speed, moving around at lightning speed, checking all the searched contents one by one.
The result was very disappointing to him, and twelve of the twenty-two pieces of content in total said that there were divine remains hidden in the Sky City.
Three of the remaining ten point to gods hidden in the territory of the Dark Elves, Dwarves, and Solar Elves, but none of them are possible for him to touch.
There are six more left, describing the unity of the body of a god buried in the 'Outlands'. After each cataclysm in the Astral Spirit Realm, the scope will shrink by a circle, and these 'cut' parts are the outer realms. Of course, Mu You knew that there were god corpses in the outer realms, but entering the outer realms required a special entrance, just like the previous Tomb of the Dead God. However, these contents only mention the outer lands, but do not mention the entrance to the outer lands, which is equivalent to a blank ride.
It wasn't until the last one that he finally had some eyebrows.
“…… Don't go near the Tower of the Brave in White Maple City, because there is a demon god guarding there, and it will be unfortunate to get close to it......"
This last one is actually a children's rhyme, from a popular nursery rhyme in White Maple City in the distant era of two or three thousand years ago, but later it seems that it was banned because the lyrics involve gods.
"White Maple City?"
Mu You was stunned when he saw this place name: this name is a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere......
It's a pity that Mu You didn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and at this time, the roar of the silent beast had already been heard overhead, obviously, his existence had been discovered.
Mu You had no choice but to cancel the spell and sink into the shadows on the spot.
The next moment, a large number of silent beasts armed with giant axes and cigarette tails rushed into the library, angrily searching back and forth, but failed to find Mu You's location.
"Looks like these things can't get into the shadows......"
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief, and through the transparent ground, he observed the things floating around above.
These Silent Beasts bear a striking resemblance to the Time Guards seen in the Grim Reaper's Tomb before.
According to Wei Wei'an, these things are similar to the 'administrators' of this world, responsible for maintaining the various basic rules and order of the astral realm, and once there is a bug somewhere, or someone does not follow the rules and tries to act outside the rules, these things will appear, or solve the problem, or solve the problem, or solve the problem......
Mu You lingered among the shadows for a while, still looking forward to whether these things above his head would be boring and deserted to leave the library.
It turned out that he thought too much, except for the two hours of moon viewing, these things conscientiously guarded his post and never left an inch.
After waiting for an hour to no avail, Mu You had to take the initiative to leave.
Follow the shadows all the way to the first floor of the library.
Sneakily leaving the library, Mu You went to the shadow in the corner of the wall, took away the invisibility cloak on Lady McKenna's body, and then took a jar of sobering potion for her to take.
What Mu You gave her was only the lowest-level sleeping elixir, and a bottle of sobering elixir was enough to remove the effect.
Before the potion could take effect, Mu You sank into the shadow again and left.
After a few seconds, Lady McKenna, who was lying on the cold bluestone, opened her eyes in a daze, got up and yawned.
Looking at the familiar scenery around her, Mrs. McKenna was stunned for more than ten seconds before she reacted, hurriedly covered her chest, and lowered her head to check her clothes.
In the next second, a high-decibel scream echoed through the campus.
A few minutes later, the alarm bells rang throughout the Red Rose Academy......
……
When the Red Rose Academy was in trouble because of the late-night attack on a female teacher, Mu You had already returned to the Dark City.
"Look at the move, a knife flow!"
As soon as he appeared in front of the teleportation array, Mu You heard a childish cry behind him.
He turned around, raised his right hand, and easily grasped the blade of a wooden knife that was slashing at him with his fingers.
Appearing behind him was Mu Mianmeng, the little girl was holding a wooden knife high in both hands, leaning back with all her might, trying to pull the wooden knife out of his fingers, holding back her face and neck thick, but unfortunately the wooden knife did not move at all.
Mu You looked down, and the little girl was wearing a somewhat familiar white beast face mask on her face.
It's still a rare piece of equipment.
[Cat's eye mask: After wearing, the softness and flexibility of the body are greatly improved, and the elegance and lightness of the feline family are obtained, and it can see in the dark. 】
"Where did you come from?" Mu You looked at her strangely.
"That cat sister gave me!"
After the little girl finished speaking, Mu You let go of her fingers, she finally pulled out the wooden knife and sat back under inertia. But when she was about to fall, the little girl actually supported the ground with one hand, and with a light backflip, she landed steadily with a full score.
Of course, this kind of action can't be done with her unstrengthened physique, which is obviously the effect of this cat mask.
After the little girl landed on the ground, she was extremely embarrassed, pulled her eyelids and grimaced at Mu You, and ran away with a wooden knife.
Mu You didn't care about her, but turned his head to look behind him, and a cat lady behind him was walking towards him quickly.
The only ones who will appear in this image are the lion and the virgin, and this must be the virgin, because the lion will never walk such an elegant catwalk.
When the maiden approached, she raised the clipboard in her hand: "The little girl is very cute, I gave it to her." ”
"Such a valuable thing, it's not good......" Mu You was a little surprised. Rare-grade items with a value of at least 1,000 years or more. A thousand-year-old thing, just like a small toy?
Mu You suddenly wondered if the maid's family was a local tyrant family......
As a result, the maiden wrote and drew on the paper, and held up the cardboard again: "Because there is something to ask for." ”
"Oh? What's up? Mu You asked.
This time, the maid took a little longer to draw, and it took a moment before she lifted the cardboard.
On the cardboard is an extra-long text and a number of stick figures, vividly describing the living conditions of the cat people.
Mu You glanced at it, and the simple meaning was: the cat people, who are also nocturnal animals, also coveted the special environment of Eternal Night City and wanted to move here.
