Chapter 407: The Demon King is roaring
The messages in the group chat weren't active for long.
After everyone reported the situation of their respective idols, they greeted each other, asked each other to help pay attention to their respective artifacts, and then went offline, presumably to go back to revise the new city construction plan and prepare the dungeon strategy.
Mu You didn't go offline in a hurry, but chatted with Solomon privately.
"Great God, what?" Solomon was suddenly knocked by Mu You, a little apprehensive.
"Oh, it's not a big deal, it's my side that takes over a mission, and I need to find a character named 'Radars Caesar', this person is the emperor of a desert country in history, isn't your Dawnbreak City parked in the desert area? So I want you to help me inquire about the relevant information. Mu You.
Dawn City stays on the most concentrated piece of land in the sands of the Star Spirit Realm Continent, and tens of millions of residents in the city have to kill monsters and do various tasks in the desert every day, and the probability of encountering relevant information is still relatively large.
"This is a little thing...... Solomon was immediately relieved when he heard this, and thought that there was something important related to the gods, but it turned out that he was just looking for information, it was too easy!
Solomon immediately promised: "Don't worry, God, I will send a reward for information in the name of the city lord, as long as this person is really in the desert, there will definitely be news!" β
"Thank you very much."
"Haha, you're welcome."
β¦β¦
Closing the forum, Mu You re-logged into the game, transferred the equipment and props, and pulled the character back to the Red Rose Academy.
In the past week, he has been busy dealing with the affairs of the Dark City, the courses of the academy have fallen a lot, and the progress of the three high-level magic that was opened before has stagnated for a while, taking advantage of the free time now, Mu You hurriedly came back to make up for a few magic classes, and went to the library to take a walk around, on the one hand, out of the mentality of 'criminals always want to go back to the crime scene afterwards', and on the other hand, they also want to find out the information about 'White Maple City'.
Bai Fengcheng is the name of the place in the children's song that he found in the silent library before, and the words 'demon god' are mentioned in the lyrics, which may be a breakthrough in his inheritance mission.
But the result surprised Mu You, the library was actually sealed!
[You come to the Red Rose Library, only to find that the door is locked, and there is a circle of students around the library, all pointing at a magic sign in front of the door. γ
[Look at the notice in front of the door.] γ
["Yesterday, the librarian, Mrs. McKenna, was attacked by a mysterious gangster while on a routine patrol in the middle of the night. Mrs. McKenna insists that she was subjected to a pervert and that it was a premeditated act of indecency! The university attaches great importance to this and has decided to temporarily close the library to preserve the evidence! Next, the school will cooperate with the Imperial Capital Public Security Department to investigate the murderer in the school, and the library will be temporarily closed to the public until the real culprit is found. If any teachers and students find relevant clues, please contact the staff in time to report, thank you for your cooperation ......"]
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Mu You looked stunned after reading it.
Pervert? Lewd?
Could it be that there was another perpetrator nearby last night?
Or is this what he is referring to?
The question is, didn't he just knock a stick, why was he inexplicably falsely accused of indecency......
Mu You's face was strange, and he was labeled as a pervert for no reason, the key is that he can't come out to argue, this is really not washed by jumping into the Yellow River......
But then he thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that it didn't seem to be that simple.
If it's just to investigate last night's assault, why do you have to close the library? And it was specifically stated that it would not be open until the murderer was found......
Mu You had already guessed something.
Last night was the night of the full moon, and the librarian was attacked last night, and those who knew about the existence of the Silent Library at the top of the school, and even the top management of the Imperial Capital, must have thought that someone was likely to enter the Silent Library last night!
Therefore, it is likely that looking for the murderer or something is some pretext, and the fundamental reason is that last night's incident has aroused the vigilance of some high-level people in the imperial capital, in order to avoid the secret in the silent library from being leaked again, these people simply found an excuse and completely closed this library!
"It's a ...... thing"
Mu You shook his head helplessly, and manipulated the character to leave the library.
Fortunately, he had already searched for the information he needed so much last night, and there was no other need for that library in a short time.
Moreover, after experiencing the closure of the library, Mu You suddenly recalled where he had seen the name 'White Maple City'.
- Elven Horn!
White Maple City once appeared in a mission from the Sunlight Elves, which asked him to escort a messenger of the Sunlight Elves to infiltrate an abandoned city occupied by the undead, and set up a teleportation array, so that the army of the Solar Elves could parachute, blitz the undead, and retake the city.
And the name of that city is White Maple City!
Mu You took out the horn in the game and looked at it, the last time the horn was blown was around 0:00 last Sunday, and there were still five or six hours of cooling at this time.
Next, Mu You made a card at home for a while, killed time, and when the morning came, he blew the horn on time.
You blew the elven trumpet. γ
The Dark Elf Queen, Fred Vault Dweller, appears before you. Fred looks at you, but shakes his head at you, saying that there are no assignments for you this week. γ
"Oh?"
Mu You was stunned, there was still a situation where there was no task? This is the first time that someone has been brushed out but no task has been arranged.
It's good that he has a pocket watch, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of horns?
Mu You hurriedly traced back according to the table and continued to blow.
The second time I brushed the forest elves, the task is still the 'Ideal Land Change' that has not changed for thousands of years.
Mu You went back directly, his goal this week was very clear, it was the task on the side of the Sun Elf.
It was refreshed a few more times, during which the fairy fairy was still hidden.
From the example of the Dark Elf, it can be seen that even though there is no mission, Fred still came forward to inform him, which shows that something happened to the fairy fairy and caused him to be unable to respond to the call of the horn.
Mu You continued to refresh until the seventh time, and finally brushed out the daylight elf. However......
[Sarina Sunshine, the Lady of the Sun Elve, appears in front of you, but says that there are no tasks to be sent to you this week.] γ
βοΌβ
Mu You was stunned, why don't you have a task?
He remembered very well that the escort mission had obviously been brushed out last week, and it suddenly disappeared this week, could it be ...... Someone has already done it?
Mu You frowned and pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: that escort mission, it seems that there is still a level limit......
The undead in White Maple City are sensitive to the breath of high-level creatures, so they need to keep the tasker's level below level 17 as much as possible.
Last week, Mu You was still able to brush it out when he was level 19, which means that he still barely met the requirements at that time, but this week his level rushed to level 20, and he also broke through the bottleneck, and he has completely exceeded the task limit.
Thinking about the reason, Mu You had to smile bitterly.
There is really no way for him to avoid the fact that the level exceeds the requirements of the task, and it is impossible to suppress the level in order to wait for your task.
However, at this time, Mu You still decided to ask more.
[After Sarina finished speaking, the figure was about to disappear.] γ
[You hurriedly stopped her, indicating that you had recently noticed that there seemed to be traces of undead activity in White Maple City, not far from the Sunlight Elf Territory. You tentatively ask Sarina if there's anything you could help with? γ
[Sarina glanced at you unexpectedly, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Originally, there was indeed a secret infiltration mission that you needed to do, but unfortunately your level is too high now, and if you break into the undead realm, you will almost definitely be discovered, and she can only find a way to entrust others to ......"]
Sure enough, that's really the reason!
Mu You hurriedly continued typing.
[You hurriedly said that it doesn't matter, you also have something to go through White Maple City recently, maybe you can try to help her complete this task by the way, even if you can't complete it, there is no loss to her. γ
This is equivalent to taking the initiative to ask for a task, but this is not the first time Mu You has done this kind of thing, when the forest elf dealt with trolls before, he also used a similar method to get a task from Riley to attack the troll tomb.
[Your statement seems to have touched Sarina.] γ
[After Sarina pondered, she nodded to you: "It's okay, but this task is difficult, and if you can't do it, you don't have to force it." And if you can complete it, I'll give you an Arcane set as a reward. βγ
[Congratulations, you triggered the special quest 'Surprise Attack on White Maple City'.] γ
[Mission content: Carry the 'miniature anchor teleportation array disk' given by Sarina to infiltrate White Maple City, find the right time, place a teleportation array within 500 meters of the city center, and guard it for more than 5 hours until it automatically takes shape, so as to ensure that the elven army can be airborne into White Maple City at any time.] γ
[Quest Reward: An optional Arcane Set Accessory (Epic).] γ
[You have obtained 'Micro Anchor Teleportation Array'*1, 'Maple Map'*1.] γ
Mu You's eyes lit up, and sure enough, this task was triggered again!
This time, he no longer needed to escort the messenger, but instead gave him an item that could be dropped to automatically build a teleportation array, but the process lasted up to five hours, during which time he needed to resist the undead on his own and protect the array.
To be honest, Mu You is not really interested in Sarina's task, and when the time comes, he will complete it when he has the opportunity, and pull it down if he doesn't have the opportunity.
What he really needed was the map that came with it!
Mu You hurriedly pointed out the 'map of White Maple City' and looked at it.
The map drew the detailed terrain of White Maple City and its surrounding areas, Mu You searched around the map, and sure enough, he quickly found the words 'Tower of the Brave'.
The Tower of the Brave is located in a village on the southeastern outskirts of Baifeng City, and the name of this village is 'Village of the Brave'.
At the same time, on this map, the Tower of the Brave, along with the entire Village of the Brave, is classified as a red 'forbidden area', marked with a warning of 'absolutely forbidden to enter'.
"This place really has a greasy ......," Mu You thought to himself.
The lyrics of that children's song don't seem to be groundless, and there may really be traces of the 'demon god' in this place.
Without further ado, let's go!
Mu You put away the map, controlled the character to teleport to Phoenix City, and then rode a chocobo to White Maple City.
After about an hour of travel, the character finally arrives at the place.
[You have arrived, White Maple City. γ
[In front of you is a city overrun by the undead.] Wherever the armies of the undead passed, the ground was polluted into a plague-covered and corroded surface, leaving the land barren, the water breeding for plague, and the remains of all things turning into the dead. γ
[Raise your eyes, you see a large number of skeleton soldiers and skeleton archers composed of white bones, wandering aimlessly between the cities, the wind blowing, and the whole city looks particularly cold and weird. γ
[You put away the chocobo, switch to the Mystic skin, and activate the Hermit Card.] After taking all the concealment measures, he quietly stepped on the soft and barren corroded surface. γ
[It's a pity that your excessively high level and the breath of the living make you as dazzling as a firefly wandering in the dark night in the perception of the undead around you. γ
[Soon a nearby undead found you.] γ
[A skeletal soldier with a sword and shield pounces on you with the clatter of bone fragments colliding all over his body.] γ
γ...... you chooseγ
Sure enough, it was difficult to hide, and Mu You didn't expect to sneak all the way in, so if he couldn't hide it, he would just kill him.
[You have chosen to fight!] γ
[You kick the skeleton soldier to the ground, and then quickly chant magic, a little light flashing brightly on the tip of your wand.] You unleash the Holy Light, and in the light of the Light, the skeleton soldier cracks and dissolves in a wail, quickly dissipating into powder. γ
[You killed a level 15 skeleton soldier, experience +15.] You have obtained 'Skull Bone Powder'*1. γ
Killing these undead creatures has no lifespan, and the materials given are completely useless, which is a loss, which is why players are always not very interested in undead monsters.
Mu You continued to explore the way.
[You killed a level 16 skeleton soldier......]
[You killed a level 13 skeleton shooter......]
[You killed a level 17 rickety ghoul......]
β¦β¦
In this kind of place full of undead, the Holy Light Technique is extremely useful, because the light magic can cause extra damage to most of the undead creatures, and his fifth-level Holy Light Technique can damage thousands of people with one shot, as long as it is not surrounded by multiple undead, it can be easily dealt with.
Mu You continued to go deeper into White Maple City according to the map, and encountered all kinds of necromantic creatures along the way, all of which were solved by him one by one, and he thought that he could reach the place so smoothly, but after a while, a text suddenly popped up in the game that surprised him.
[You see a man in Assassin attire passing in front of you, who sees you and raises his weapon at you, staring at you warily.] From the ID on the top of the opponent's head, you can tell that this is a player. γ
Veda (Level 17) ......
Well?
Mu You was stunned, there are still players in this ghost place?
And it's a very advanced player.,Players of this level must have joined Sky City.,Isn't mining or brushing dungeons in Sky City better than brushing undead incense here? What are you doing in a place like this?
Mu You was a little puzzled for a while, but he didn't have time to think about it, and at this time the game was still asking him if he wanted to do it.
"No."
The ID of the Veda should be a player in the Indonesian region, and the corresponding astral realm region in the Indonesian region is the Tasno Empire, which is located next door to the Solar Elves. Mu You is here to do business, and he has no intention of provoking local players for the time being.
[You have chosen to stand still, and the fight here may disturb the other undead.] γ
[The 'Veda' also clearly sensed your extraordinary strength, and did not dare to attack you either, but remained vigilant to bypass you, retreating briskly, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. γ
The mysterious person skin that Mu You is using now does not show the ID and level, but fortunately, the other party still has the eyesight to see it, and he can intuitively feel the gap from the outfit, so he ran away.
Mu You didn't care and continued to play.
[You continue to move forward, and behind the stone wall in front of you, a headless skeleton knight is patrolling the empty streets on an undead warhorse. γ
[Headless Horsemann (Level 23): Attack 125-130, Defense 120, Health 18500, Ability: Bone Gun Charge, Bone Gun Piercing, Shield Block, Bloody Judgment ......]
Just two steps away, I met a high-level monster, a headless horseman up to level 23, who must be an elite monster among the undead, with high attack and defense, and a row of abilities, which is indeed difficult to deal with.
Moreover, this guy is in the direction where the player came just now, Mu You estimates that the player should have encountered this elite monster and found that he couldn't beat it, so he retreated or went back to shake people.
No matter what the player thinks, since the other party is gone, this monster is his, and an elite monster of this level will definitely be able to drop some good things.
Mu You immediately switched the vampire skin and manipulated the character to prepare for battle.
However, at this moment, another text prompt pops up in the game.
[You faintly hear a rustling sound behind you, like the sound of the night wind blowing through the grass.] γ
But your intuition makes you aware of the crisis. You look behind you quietly. γ
[From the perspective of night vision, you can clearly see the hay more than ten meters away behind you, and the player who left just now 'Veda' is going and returning, sneakily crouching in the grass, peeking at you......]
"Oh?"
Mu You frowned, what is this? Yellow finch behind?
Is this going to wait for him to fight with the Headless Horseman, and then this guy will jump out and sneak attack, killing two birds with one stone?
Mu You saw through the other party's conspiracy at a glance, but he didn't care much.
If you are an ordinary player, you will indeed suffer if you are suddenly attacked from both sides. It's a pity that the other party still underestimated his combat effectiveness. If you deal with these two, he will not be able to fight two or two, not to mention that this person has been seen through by him in advance.
[Ignoring the potential enemy behind you, you charge straight ahead of the Headless Horseman, shooting multiple arrows from a distance.] γ
[Your arrows don't deal substantial damage to the Headless Horseman, but they are more than enough to provoke the opponent.] γ
[The Headless Horseman spotted you, and the warhorse under his crotch let out an angry hoof. The Headless Horseman raised his bone spear and launched the 'Death Charge', turning his men and horses into a bolt of lightning and charging towards you. γ
[You're still shooting arrows stupidly in the same place, not knowing what the danger is.] The next second, you were stabbed by a bone spear, and you flew far away, crossing a parabola, and landed right near the grass where the Vedas were hiding! γ
[In the distance, the Headless Horsemann quickly turned his horse's head and charged in your direction again.] γ
[You hear a dark scolding behind you: "Damn, where did you come from!"] βγ
[In the next second, the figure of the assassin jumped out of the grass and rushed away into the distance, in a vain attempt to escape from the headless horseman's attack range. γ
[You activated the 'God Speed' and instantly fled to the front of the Assassin at an even faster speed.] γ
[The Headless Horseman's horse is still charging towards you, but it is forcibly stopped by the assassins who stand in front of you.] The bone spear pierced the body of the Veda, and the Headless Horseman held the Veda high above his head as if it were a public display......]
